Speculation is rife that the Congressparty is working out a possible al-liance with the BSP for the forthcom-ing Haryana Vidhan Sabha poll.Elections are due to be held in thestate next month.

The BSP recently broke its al-liance with the Jannayak Janta Partyled by Dushyant Chautala after re-ports of is possible patch- up the par-ent party Indian National Lok Dalfrom which it separated an year ago.

According to reports BahujanSamaj Party (BSP) supremoMayawati and former CongressChief Minister Bhupinder SinghHooda held a closed door meetingyesterday in Delhi to hold talks onthe possible alliance. Haryana

Pradesh Congress Committee’s new-ly elected president Kumari Seljawas also present.

its intention to win at least 75 of thetotal 90 seats.

However, talking to Yugmarg,Bhupinder Singh Hooda denied hold-ing any talks with Mayawati. But atthe same time he also did not rule outthe possibilities of a tie-up with theBSP. ``If we come together what iswrong. After all the Congress and theBSP have been partners in the past aswell,’’ said Hooda.

Before breaking the alliance withthe JJP, Mayawati had tweeted thatthe BSP is a national party, accordingto which the agreement reached byDushyant Chautala's party in the as-sembly elections in Haryana wasbased on their number of seats andtheir mutual distribution. Due to im-proper attitude, it has been terminat-ed now on the suggestion of BSPHaryana Unit.

MOIN QAZI

On the tenth day of Is-lam’s new year —Muharram — falls

Ashura, a day famous theworld over for the bizarremourning practices of theShiite Muslims. However, ithas relevance for all Muslimsand the ninth and tenth daysare days of fasting commem-

o r a t i n gw h e nNoah leftthe arkand Godparted theRed Seaf o rM o s e s

and his followers to escapefrom the Pharaoh.

The word “ashura” takesits root from “ashur”, mean-ing “tenth” in Semitic lan-guages and is the culminationof the commemoration of thedeath of their spiritual leaderHussein, a grandson ofProphet Muhammad, at thehands of the ruling caliphYazid, the second caliph ofthe Umayyad Empire, whowas beheaded in a verymacabre manner in the Battleof Karbala in 680 CE in mod-ern day Iraq. Shias across theworld perform passion plays,walk barefoot over coal andindulge in brutal self-flagella-

tion in an effort to relive thetragedy and express theirgrief. The death of Hussein isconsidered by Shias as a sym-bol of humanity’s struggleagainst injustice, oppressionand tyranny.

Hussein’s death was partof a dispute over who shouldsucceed Prophet Mohammed,which eventually developedinto a bitter schism betweenthe Sunni and Shiite branchesof Islam. Hussein was thegrandson of Prophet Muham-mad, a fact that played an im-portant role in his life andcontributed to his death. Hissupporters — the Shia — be-lieved that he was the rightfulleader of the Muslim commu-nity, or ummah, because ofhis matrilineal descent. Sun-nis, by contrast, believe thatthe caliph — or leader of thecommunity — ought to be se-

lected from those who havethe capability of leadership.

According to narrations,Hussein was embarking on ajourney towards Kufa inmodern day Iraq after beingurged by its people to rescuethem from the tyranny of theruling caliph when his con-voy of family members and72 companions was stoppedby the 3,000-strong forces ofYazid, the ruler in Karbala onthe banks of the Euphratesriver.

A battle ensued on Ashu-ra. Hussein and his supporterswere denied water for threedays. After days of battlingthe opposing army of 30,000men, Hussein was decapitat-ed, his supporters were killedand the remaining womenand children were captured asprisoners and paraded amongthe people.

YUGMARG, CHANDIGARH, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2019

On Wednesday, the Delhi Police filed an FIR againstKashmiri (and one-time JNU) activist Shehla Rashid ona local lawyer’s complaint against her for sedition. She

had tweeted rumours that the Army had tortured four boys inShopian in south Kashmir. The Army denied it as baseless.Briefing select domestic and foreign journalists on Saturday,National Security Adviser Ajit Doval also denied it disingenu-ously: he said it was not the Army but the Central Reserve Po-lice Force and the state police that was maintaining law and or-der in the Valley. Ms Rashid was guilty of hyperbole as lessthan a handful of Kashmiris have died during police action onprotests after the August 5 announcement to end Jammu andKashmir’s autonomy; these have been collateral deaths, likethe Noorabad boy who jumped off a bridge when the crowd hewas in was chased by the forces, or the middle-aged man whodied of suffocation when caught between tear gas canisters shotat Srinagar’s Eidgah. But Ms Rashid was not exaggerating thelarger clampdown and crackdown on Kashmiri society.

Yet this clampdown is being used as a basis for a greaterexaggeration, made by Mr Doval, that a majority of Kashmirissupported the abrogation of Article 370 (the Constitutionalguarantor of autonomy). It is like the greater exaggeration im-plied in the statement that not a single bullet has been fired —pellets have been shot at thousands of protestors, of whom hun-dreds have been treated in government hospitals. Or the greaterexaggeration that all is ostensibly well because most telephonelandlines have been restored when what matters to 99 per centof the population is the continuing suspension of mobile te-lephony. These exaggerations by the state come in a vacuumcreated in the last week by the dwindling reportage on Kash-mir in the mainstream print media. Given the government’spenchant to tightly control what the supposedly free media cov-ers and publishes, perhaps this sudden drying up of news re-ports is a coincidence. No wonder, then, that in an absence ofground reports, rumour passes for fact among individuals likeMs Rashid.

But what she tweeted was nowhere as damaging as theBBC’s reportage of the August 9 demonstration at Soura in Sri-nagar, in which around 10,000 participated and many were in-jured in the consequent police action to break up the demon-stration. Or the torrent of reports and commentary in the NewYork Times that is unflattering to New Delhi. These have to-gether occasioned mainstream politicians in the United King-dom, the United States and elsewhere in the West to expressconcern over human rights violations in Kashmir. Presumably,neither regime-friendly lawyers nor the Delhi Police dare fileFIRs against international news agencies; the risk is in the nar-ratives that might spin out of control. As it is, our diplomats’hands are full this month preparing for the United Nations Gen-eral Assembly on the 27th and the UN Human Rights Com-mission starting Monday.

Ram Jethmalani will now try to persuade God in heaven

The year 2019 has been abad year for law in thatwe have lost some bril-

liant minds to destiny. ArunJaitley and Amarendra Sharanwent untimely and with yearsof promise snatched by the ul-timate Master of Roster. Ram,as Ram Jethmalani was affec-tionately called by young andold, wryly spoke for someyears as stationed in the de-parture lounge of life. I beteveryone who heard him saythat secretly prayed for an in-definite delay. I was not fortu-nate to ever work with thelegendary criminal lawyerduring the formative years ofmy career at the Bar. But hisremarkable court craft anddogged determination to per-suade the court was a delightto watch. Curiously, although

he belonged to a weighty tra-dition we identified as “Bom-bay lawyers” not at ease withthose seen to belong to theCongress school, we took toeach other in social gather-ings and became closeenough to share frank opin-ions about events and politi-cal predilections. Some ofthose often cut close to thebone and remained our shareddiscretion. Of course, forRam discretion was not partof valour and he had nodearth of the latter, sometimesengaging with formidable ad-versaries like SubramanianSwamy!

Having dominated theBar for over half a centuryand contributed immensely tothe development of criminallaw in the country, Ram had

an interesting presence in pol-itics. Even as political life be-came polarised as a prelude tothe polarisation of social in-stitutions and the electorate,he remained somewhat suigeneris: willingly to speak uppublicly against his col-leagues in the BJP (a partythat he was in and out of), notsparing even the powerfulparty leader and Prime Minis-ter. Principles remained forhim more than the party.There was a time when Ram’suncompromising convictionscaused a drift in his politicalaffiliations and much as hehad been sceptical of the Con-gress, there was a time abouta decade ago that he cameclose to several of our col-leagues and was receivedquite warmly.

Kashmir will not react and eruptin anger, Kashmir will respond

The dawn of August 5,2019 came on Kash-miris like a betrayer.

Exactly 66 years ago, on Au-gust 9, 1953, Sheikh Moham-mad Abdullah was arrestedfrom the picturesque touristresort in north Kashmir, Gul-marg. The Sheikh was alsounceremoniously removed asPrime Minister of Jammu andKashmir. When it comes toKashmir, there is hardly any-thing “august” about August.

The unilateral decisiontaken by the BJP-led govern-ment in New Delhi on August5 to abrogate Articles 370 and35A of the Indian Constitu-tion stunned the Unionistcamp in J&K the most. Oneof the said Articles definedthe relationship between Sri-nagar and New Delhi whilethe other granted powers tothe J&K Legislative Assem-bly to define who the perma-nent residents of the statewere and then accorded tothem several rights and privi-leges, including the right tojobs, scholarships, educationand also the right to buy im-movable property.

As part of their politicsfor relevance on Kashmir’spolitical landscape, theUnionists until recentlyfavoured a solution to the po-litical dispute within theframework of the Indian Con-stitution. Their demand wasthat New Delhi should turnthe clock backwards to 1953when J&K enjoyed consider-able autonomy besides hav-

ing its own constitutionallyapproved posts of Prime Min-ister and Sadr-e-Riyasat in-stead of chief minister andgovernor respectively.

J&K’s National Confer-ence (NC), the region’s oldestpolitical formation after theAll Jammu and KashmirMuslim Conference in 1931,would prefer autonomy whilethe People’s Democratic Par-ty (PDP) advocated self-rulefor the two divided parts ofJ&K. In an expected move,the BJP government strippedJ&K of its autonomy andstatehood besides reorganis-ing the region by carving outtwo separate Union territo-ries, viz. Ladakh and Jammuand Kashmir. This new un-palatable reality has leftJ&K’s Unionists gasping forbreath. As if they are put on a

ventilator to survive on thecomplex political chessboardof Kashmir. What will they donow? How will they go be-fore the people again and withwhat agenda? Being at theprecipice of irrelevance be-cause of their failure to pre-vent humanitarian crises in2008 and latest in 2016, themainstream politics of Kash-mir has now possibly also losta battle for a narrative.

Expectedly, the rulingdispensation is using the pow-erful corporate-owned TVchannels based in Noida andMumbai to manufacture con-sent for its contentious deci-sion over Kashmir’s politicalfate. Significant sections ofthe Indian media continue toact as willing partners incrime to distort or kill theKashmir story. The use of

propaganda and persuasiondates back from the begin-ning of Greek analysis ofrhetoric and has been used invarious settings since. AdolfHitler had created a separateministry for propaganda,headed by Joseph Goebbels,in Germany.

Despicable acts like massdetentions, an informationblackout, snapping of com-munication lines includingmobile telephones and the In-ternet, the caging of overeight million Kashmiris, andshutting down of schools, col-leges, markets and majormosques are being marketedas the new indicators of nor-malcy for Kashmir. Without adoubt, the local Kashmiripopulation sees the BJP’s de-cision as an assault on ethnicidentity and an existential

threat to the Kashmiri race.With the objective to controlthe narrative on the main-stream as well as social mediaplatforms, most TV channelsand their fidayeen anchors arebusy weaving a fallacious andmalicious “everything is nor-mal in Kashmir” narrative.And then ugly practices tohumiliate, caricature and de-monise Kashmiris as the new“other” has been normalisedby now.

Kashmir is so normal thatover 4,000 persons, accordingto a report by AFP, have beendetained since August 5.Three former chief ministers,Farooq Abudullah, Omar Ab-dullah and Mehbooba Mufti,are among those held. Yes,Kashmir is so normal that topCongress leaders RahulGandhi and Ghulam NabiAzad were sent back to NewDelhi from the Srinagar air-port. For now, the middleground in Kashmir standsobliterated. In a new battle forexistence, the multiple identi-ties of Kashmiris have be-come paramount. In a cagedKashmir, the people are in aquest for freedom of speechand freedom after speech. Asa collective, Kashmiris feeldisrobed, dispossessed, dis-empowered. On its part, NewDelhi neither bothered to seekthe consent of the natives norof the Kashmiri leadership inand outside the electoral fold.Kashmiris feel they have beentaught what to do, not what toknow.

The first 100 days of theModi 2.0 governmenthave been marked by

lows and highs. Sadly, thelows are longer lasting, whilethe highs are transient, evenin the short term. The biggestlow was the Budget for FY2019-20 in July, which waspresented, in the absence ofthe late Arun Jaitley, with lessthan a firm political steer.

Unusually for a UnionBudget, it had glaring defi-ciencies which makes it im-perative that the governmentcreate a “shadow budget” tocontrol expenditure — the de-partment of expenditure ofmust have done so already —which is realistic, has lowerrevenues and increased ex-penditure than budgeted and ahigher fiscal deficit. The Non-Banking Financial Compa-nies (NBFC) crisis is still un-folding. It will continue tofurther negatively impact thebottomlines of banks andpublicly-owned financial andinsurance companies.

The downside of tablingthe emerging stress in Parlia-ment is limited. The truth isout already that India is slow-ing down along with the restof the world. The upside isthat expenditure can then bedirected to give the biggestbang for the buck. Also, thegovernment will be able toborrow more without havingto raid the treasuries of publicagencies and enterprises.

Data matters because it isa performance metric. The

data on the economy — fiveper cent growth last quarter— a stepped decrease fromeight per cent in the samequarter last year — with theexpectation of a further slidethis quarter or, at best, a slow,long trough through the restof the year, is not good news.But it is news already. It’sbest to recognise it, debate itand put in place a plan to re-verse it.

The high point during thepast 100 days was the integra-tion of Jammu and Kashmir,on the pattern that exists forall other states. This was a po-litical high, with potentiallygood social consequences forwomen, Scheduled Castesand the Shia Muslim andBuddhist citizens of Ladakh,who are now a distinct and

separate Union territory.The manner of the inte-

gration was unorthodox. Butthe political consensusaround this being the bestway forward exists — despitethe usual noise. The proposalwas approved by a two-thirdsmajority in both Houses ofParliament, even though theNational Democratic Alliancedoes not have the numbers inthe Rajya Sabha.

Whether the results arepositive or worsen the al-ready-inflamed sense ofalienation in the Valley willdepend crucially upon thedeepening of governance re-forms, down till the local gov-ernment level, to allow freshpolitical voices — much likeNarendra Modi himself — toemerge. The government out-

reach has been compelling.International opinion seemsreassured that the govern-ment’s intentions in Kashmirremain development-centricand not to snatch away theKashmiri identity. Undoubt-edly Kashmir is suffering yetagain. But the solution neverlay with the tired, dissipatedpolitical leadership that it has.

On the economy, there isvery little good news. Whatthere is emanates from theReserve Bank of India, whichis fighting in the trenches toreverse the slowdown. Sincethe new governor ShaktikantaDas, who has the Prime Min-ister’s confidence, took overin mid-December 2018, theRBI has slashed the repo rate(that at which the RBI lendsto banks) from 6.5 per cent to

5.4 per cent. The lowest levelfor the repo rate in the pastthree decades was 4.75 percent from April 21, 2009 toMarch 19, 2010 in the go-godays of credit expansion, afterthe Western financial crisis. Ifinflation remains low at itscurrent levels of around threeto 3.5 per cent, the RBI willlikely seek to reach the histor-ical low. Doing so will be amood lightener.

More worrying is the in-terventionist role that the RBIis being pushed to play.Nudging banks to pass on ratereductions to consumers isfine. But why are public sec-tor banks not doing so them-selves in competition withprivate banks? The share ofprivate banks in lending is at40 per cent, and is increasing.

A highly interventionistregulatory culture has neverworked in India. Also, whyare the government nomineeson the boards of public banksso powerless to work in thepublic interest that the RBIhas to step in to do their job?Do we have the right peopleon these boards, or are theyjust sinecures?

The RBI would well de-sist from being seen to micro-manage the banks. Otherwise,it becomes a part of the gameand will have to bear the fi-nancial consequences of pooror politicised decisions by thebanks, as in the past. A bigworry is the rapid expansionin the scale of “government-directed” operations of public

sector entities. The leveragelevels in the National High-ways Authority of India arealready under public scrutiny.NBBC, a public sector com-pany, is increasingly playingthe role of “white knight” bytaking over incomplete realestate projects on which pri-vate developers have reneged.

Rapid growth in infra-structure projects directly orindirectly owned by the gov-ernment is a worry, whichgoes beyond the risk of sig-nificantly increasing quasi-sovereign borrowings. Publicsector banks are a classicproblem of runaway publicsector growth using thestrength of the government’sBudget, well beyond the ca-pacity of the government tomanage its assets well.

Sadly, far from decreas-ing its banking assets throughprivate partnerships or out-right sale, the government ispapering over the problem bymerging them to create publicsector banking giants withbetter but hollowed out, ag-gregate balance sheets. In do-ing so, we are following theoil sector “reform” modelfrom Modi 1.0. Have any fi-nancial or economic advan-tages emerged from mergingHPCL with ONGC? Such fi-nancial juggling reeks of des-peration, not a plan for revivalor growth. A cyclical down-turn can be countered. Slash-ing the exorbitant GST ratesfor price-sensitive goods andservices is a no-brainer.

handigarh: Max Life Insurance Company Ltd. launched its new brand thought that Cintroduces the belief 'You Are The Difference' in

the lives of your loved ones. This new brand thought is in line with Max Life's focus on encouraging consumers to realize and embrace their 'Real Life Value' when buying life insurance. This thought stems from the Company's value of 'Customer Obsession' that means that every business decision be taken with customer at the core. Culturally, our concept of 'Self' is often subsume by a collective unit, be it a family or a team. As part of traditional Indian ethos, we tend to undermine the individual self and give precedence to collective self. Having grown up with quotes like "always be humble", "cut your coat according to your cloth", "less is more", we end undervaluing our own self in every walk of life. While we rejoice in the value our loved ones bring to our life and celebrate even their smallest of achievements, we tend to undermine the value we bring to the lives of our loved ones. This habit of undervaluing 'Self' also manifests itself in the sum assured we opt for while buying life insurance.

GLAMOURDesperation not part of my personality: Manoj Bajpayee

t took Manoj Bajpayee a while to enter the ever growing digital space, considered to be a boon for storytellers today, and the actor says the desperation to get viewership by serving overdose of "violence and sex" kept him away from the web world. The 50-year-old actor, Iwho is making his digital debut with Amazon Prime Video's "The Family Man", said he always wanted to start with a unique

concept which had "integrity" in its narrative. "I realised, there is a pattern that most of the shows were following. There was a pattern that was forming in front of me and that was quite scary. All the shows, no matter how different the story was, they were trying to please the audience desperately and were trying to grab the eyeballs by showing too much violence and sex. "I realised, right now, since this medium is at an infant stage and also they (makers) don't know what to do with this freedom, I was sure I was not going to be part of this desperation. I wanted to be part of something that was very unique and something that is not compromising and still having its integrity intact in terms of its narrative," Bajpayee told a news agency in an interview. The critically-acclaimed performer said he was trying to "run away from that clutter" and asserted he is not against violence and sex if they are essential to the story. "It is all about staying true to the story. For me, that is very important. I am not averse to intimate sequence or showing violence. I am averse to banning anything in life. "But being desperate to get some eyeballs is something that I do not like. That desperation is not even there in my personality. 'The Family Man' goes very well with as a creative person for me," he added. "The Family Man", an action-drama series, tells the story of a middle-class man who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency (NIA). While he tries to protect the nation from terrorists, he also has to protect his family from the impact of his secretive, high-pressure, and low paying job. Bajpayee has made a mark for himself as one of the most versatile performers in Hindi film indsutry and the actor said switching between mediums is not a struggle. "Your acting will never change. You will always be an actor no matter which platform you are acting on. It gives you the freedom in terms of length, in cinema it is about two-and-half-hours of time frame. "There is no chance of being indulgent or there is no opportunity to explore your character in great detail in cinema, no matter how great the character is. But in a web-series, there is time to explore so many other facets of a character and scenes and that is so flattering for an actor like me," he said. The National Award-winner added all he craves for is creative satisfaction and exploring new dimensions as a performer. "An actors job is not to look at the platform.

Gumnaamitrailer screened beforeForward Bloc leaders

irector Srijit Mukherji has screened the trailer of his upcoming film 'Gumnaami', that has already stirred Dcontroversies for delving into theories over Netaji Subash

Chandra Bose's 'disappearance', before leaders of All India Forward Bloc, a party founded by Bose. The film, which got the CBFC clearance in the last week of August, will hit the screens on October 4. Mukherji, who has faced flak from several members of the Bose family over the film, told reporters he explained to the AIFB leaders that he has sought to project all three theories over Netaji's 'disappearance' in a balanced manner. The director said he did not portray Gumnaami Baba, a hermit spotted in Uttar Pradesh's Faizabad in the 1970s, as Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. "Senior AIFB leaders have seen the trailer and have agreed to see the premier of the film. A 20-member AIFB delegation will decide whether 'Gumnaami' hurt the sentiments of the people and followers of Netaji," Mukherji said. Senior AIFB leaders Naren Dey, Haripada Biswas, Debabarata Biswas, Naren Chatterjee were present at the screening on Sunday at the state party headquarters. "We have watched the trailer but everything can't be understood in the preview of a film," Chatterjee told a news agncy. He said the party leadership heard Mukherji's argument that the film referred to the three theories but he did not seek to project any one of them, leaving it for the audience to decide. "But if there is any effort to denigrate Netaji or spread misinformation about our icon, we will strongly protest against it," he said. Chatterjee said the party secretariat will take a call on the invite to attend the premier. Last week, a statementsigned by 33 members of the Bose family had contended that "a misleading and defamatory campaign was being made to malign the image and legacy of the legendary leader".

Former Australia captain Ricky Pontingsaid on Sunday that the tourists' "relent-less" bowlers deserve as much credit forretaining the Ashes as Steve Smith.

The world's top-ranked Test bats-man, Smith has been in superb form thisAshes with 671 runs, including threehundreds, at an average of 134.20.

Smith made a commanding 211 inAustralia's 185-run victory in the fourthTest at Old Trafford, a result that leftthem 2-1 up with just one to play aheadof next week's finale at The Oval.

But Ponting -- twice a losing Ashesseries captain in England in 2005 and2009 -- insisted the bowlers' efforts

should not be ignored."I think they (Australia) should have

had a bigger lead, not just on the back ofSteve Smith," Ponting, one of the bestbatsmen of his generation, told SkySports.

"Everyone is talking about what im-pact he has had, but the whole bowlingdepartment has been absolutely out-standing. Look at the difference in thebowling attacks in this game.

"(Mitchell) Starc, (Pat) Cummins,(Josh) Hazlewood and (Nathan) Lyon,match that up with the England attack.There were more holes in that Englandattack than the Australia one.

"They were relentless in everythingthey did." Meanwhile, ex-England skip-per Nasser Hussain said Australia de-

served to keep the Ashes.That England took the game into the

final hour of Sunday's last day before be-ing dismissed for 197, having been nonefor two after Cummins took two wicketsin two balls, said much about their re-solve. But Hussain, the last England cap-tain to fail to win an Ashes series onhome soil in 2001, said the hosts couldhave no complaints given they had lostthe opener by 251 runs and then onlydrawn level thanks to Ben Stokes's stun-ning century that secured a one-wicketwin in the third Test at Headingley."There has been progress," said Hussain."You can't fault the character and re-silience of this England side. Other Eng-land sides would have just crumbled in aheap.

Joe Root is in no doubt he should re-main as England's Test captain de-spite presiding over their first failureto win a home Ashes series in 18years.

England were looking to regainthe Ashes after a humiliating 4-0loss under Root in Australia in2017/18.

But Australia's 185-run victoryin the fourth Test at Old Trafford onSunday left them with an unassail-able 2-1 lead in the five-match seriesahead of next week's finale at theOval.

Root, whose tactical acumen hasbeen questioned this series, may beEngland's best batsman but three ofhis last five Test innings have ended

in ducks.Nevertheless, he had no doubts

about continuing in the often stress-ful role of England captain.

"Definitely, yes," the 28-year-old said when asked if he still felt hewas the right man for the job.

"Whenever you lose a series ithurts and I have to take that on thechin. It's still very raw.

"You have to look at areas youwant to get better at, both in yourselfand as a team.

"But I have been given a fantas-tic opportunity to captain the Testside and will continue to work veryhard doing my best at that. That is inmy control and I have to make sureI keep getting this team in the bestshape to win as many games as pos-sible."

This was England's first defeatin an Old Trafford Test since 2001and Root, one of several players also

involved in this season's World Cuptriumph, has little time in which torevive flagging spirits ahead ofThursday's start at The Oval.

England, however, could stillend this series all square at 2-2 andgain valuable points in the inauguralWorld Test Championship with avictory in south London.

"It's important to look at nextweek," said Root.

"We have an important Testmatch against Australia and we haveto make sure we finish this summerstrong: do not lose this Ashes series.

"We have the Test championshipto play for, do not lose this Ashes se-ries. It matters to me, it matters toeveryone involved.

"I know the Ashes are not com-ing home but in terms of the Testchampionship, at the end of the two-year cycle those points could be cru-cial.
