	Gillette Cup / NatWest Trophy / C&G Trophy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Gillette Cup, the world's first domestic knockout tournament for first-class sides, started in 1963 as a 65-over-a-side competition and was an immediate success, and the first sellout final between Sussex and Worcestershire set the pattern for many years to come.
		But through to the 1980s, the Gillette Cup (which became the NatWest Trophy in 1981) provided domestic midweek entertainment through the summer as well as the traditional end-of-season climax on the first Saturday in September.
		There were upsets - Durham became the first Minor County to beat a first-class side when they humiliated Yorkshire in 1973 - and many memorable matches, such as the epic semi-final between Lancashire and Gloucestershire in the Old Trafford twilight in 1971.

		Discus-thrower Seema Antil will look to redeem pride and bring back the gold medal which was taken back by the IAAF when she tested positive for using a stimulant in the last edition, at the ninth World Junior Athletic Championships, from July 17 to 21 at Kingston, Jamaica.
		The meeting, which led to speculations that both the heroes of the NatWest Trophy might force their way into the Test squad for their brilliant performance, felt that all the three players should have been retained with the contingent so that the entire one-day squad would be in proper physical condition for the ICC Trophy.
		The Indian team is scheduled to complete its England tour on September 9 and required to assemble in Sri Lanka on September 11 for the ICC Trophy beginning on September 12.

		For the record, India finished second to New Zealand in the 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy (Nairobi), shared the ICC Trophy with Sri Lanka (2002) and were runners-up in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
		Then there are the away wins in the West Indies (Cable and Wireless series) and England (Natwest Trophy).
		Though they have been fortunate enough to be ‘groomed,’ we can at least take solace in the fact that they were the fulcrum of the Natwest Trophy triumph in England.

		Despite having emerged a powerful force in world cricket in recent times, the Indians have lost nine finals in tournaments featuring more than two teams and Sourav Ganguly and his men would be keen to make amends in what promises to be an engrossing day-night tussle at the Premadasa Stadium.

		Ganguly conceded that Sri lanka, who have been in good form, are a tough side at home and would be strengthened further with the return of Muttiah Muralitharan and Chaminda Vaas.

		It would be appropriate to term the NatWest Trophy victory as culmination of the Indian team effort which had been lacking on earlier occasions.
		The skipper, Saurav Ganguly, led from the front with a swash buckling knock of 60 and was the epitome of national euphoria as he rushed to towards Kaif.
		In 2000 he was once again a member of the German team who finished runners-up in the Champions Trophy at Amstelveen and secured the fifth position at the Sydney Olympics.

		ENGLAND will be urged to concentrate on cricket rather than confrontation as they attempt to claim a significant victory over Australia and lift the NatWest Series Trophy at Lord's today.

		It is eight years since England last beat Australia to win a trophy - when they claimed a 3-0 Texaco Trophy success - and confidence is high within the home dressing room they may be about to end that drought.
