Ravichandran Ashwin (pronunciation (help·info); born 17 September 1986) is an Indian international cricketer. An all-rounder who bats right-handed and bowls right-arm off break, Ashwin plays for Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket and Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. He is the fastest Indian bowler (also in some records the joint fastest in the world) to reach the 50-, 100-, 150-, 200-, 250-, 300- and 350-wicket mark in Test cricket in terms of number of innings.[1][2] In 2016, he became the third Indian to win the ICC Cricketer of the Year award.
Having achieved little success as an opening batsman at junior-level cricket, Ashwin dropped down the order and turned into an off-break bowler. He made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in December 2006 and captained the team the following season. But it was not until the 2010 Indian Premier League in which he played for the Chennai Super Kings, that he came into the limelight with his economical bowling and earned his maiden international call-up in the limited-overs formats in June 2010. He was the leading wicket-taker and player of the tournament of the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 in South Africa. He was also part of the Indian squad that won the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Later that year, he made his Test debut against West Indies and became the seventh Indian to take a five-wicket haul on Test debut. He took two five-wicket hauls and scored a century in that series and won the player of the series award.
Ashwin continued to succeed in the subcontinent but proved to be less effective in other places like Australia and England. In a home Test series against Australia in 2013, he took 29 wickets, the most by any Indian bowler in a four-match Test series. The same year, he took his 100th Test wicket in his 18th match, becoming the fastest Indian bowler to the milestone and the fastest in the world in over 80 years. In 2017, playing his 45th Test, Ashwin became the fastest bowler to pick up 250 Test wickets, bettering Dennis Lillee, who had achieved the landmark in 48 Tests.[3] In October 2019, in his 66th Test match, Ashwin became the joint-fastest bowler, along with Muttiah Muralitharan, to take his 350th Test wicket.[4]
Ashwin is the only bowler in recent times, apart from Sri Lanka's Ajantha Mendis to bowl the carrom ball. With four centuries in his Test career so far, Ashwin has earned the reputation of being a bowling all-rounder. He was a recipient of the Arjuna Award in 2014 and the BCCI's international cricketer of the year for the 2012–13 season. He also won the ICC Cricketer of the year 2016 along with ICC Test Cricketer of the year 2016 in December 2016.
Early years[edit]
Ashwin was born on 17 September 1986 in a Tamil family. He lives in West Mambalam, Chennai.[5] His father Ravichandran played cricket at club level as a fast bowler.[6][7] Ashwin was educated at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan and St. Bede's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School. He also attended SSN College of Engineering and graduated with a BTech in Information Technology. His time at St. Bede's was particularly important, as it had a cricket academy. Ashwin has stated that coaches C. K. Vijay and Chandra at St Bede's had played a big role in his career, where he had changed his bowling style from medium pace to off spin.[8][9][10][11]
2000–2010: Early career[edit]
Ashwin was the opening batsmen for India under 17's, before getting replaced by Rohit Sharma due to lack of form.
Ashwin plays as a bowler for Tamil Nadu cricket team and South Zone. He played for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League. He was the highest wicket-taker of the 2010 Champions League Twenty20 tournament for Chennai Super Kings with 13 wickets and was adjudged as the player of the tournament. He started his career as a fast bowler. After some years, he changed into a spin bowler.
2010–present: International career[edit]
On the back of his impressive performance in the 2010 Indian Premier League, Ashwin was selected in a second-string squad that toured Zimbabwe in May–June 2010. He made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 5 June 2010, scoring a 32–ball 38 and taking 2/50 in that match which India lost to crash out of the tri-series.[12] His T20I debut came a week later, against Zimbabwe at Harare where he took 1/22 in four overs in an Indian win. Ashwin was selected for the tri-series against New Zealand and hosts Sri Lanka, but did not get a game with Pragyan Ojha and Ravindra Jadeja being preferred over him throughout the series.[13] In October, the selectors decided to rest first-choice players in the three-match home ODI series against Australia, enabling Ashwin to get selected in the team again. Ashwin was the most economical bowler in the only match played in the series in which he took 1/34 in nine overs while India registered a five-wicket victory.[14]
Ashwin played in all five matches of the home series against New Zealand in November–December 2010. India completed a 5–0 whitewash and Ashwin ended up as the leading wicket-taker of the series with 11 wickets at an average of 21.90.[15] At the conclusion of the series, Ashwin earned the praise of captain Gautam Gambhir, who called him "the find" of the series and hailed his bowling during the powerplay overs.[16] Despite this success, Ashwin failed to make it to the playing eleven in any of the five ODIs on the South African tour, with the inclusion of lead spinner Harbhajan Singh in the team.[17] However, Ashwin did manage to find a place in the 15-member World Cup squad that was announced during the series, with Harbhajan and Piyush Chawla being the other two specialist spinners in the squad.[18] He played only two matches in the World Cup and made his World Cup debut in March 2011 against the West Indies with bowling figures of 2/41 in 10 overs. He bowled his full quota in the quarterfinal against Australia at Ahmedabad and picked 2/52. India went on to win the tournament, but Ashwin did not feature in either the semi-final or the final.
Ashwin replaced vice-captain Harbhajan for the fourth and fifth ODI of India's tour of West Indies in June–July 2011 but picked just one wicket. Ashwin was retained in the limited-overs squad for the England tour. He emerged as India's best bowler of the series, which India lost 3–0, taking six wickets at an average of 25.16.[19] England toured India in October 2011 and were whitewashed in the ODI series 5–0. With 10 scalps at 20.20, Ashwin was as the second highest wicket-taker of the series, only behind teammate Jadeja.[20]
In November 2011, West Indies toured India for three Tests and five ODIs. Ashwin's recent ODI success saw him being included in the Test squad for the first time. Ashwin and Ojha were the only two specialist spinners in the squad, with Harbhajan being omitted owing to his indifferent form during the England tour.[21] Ashwin made his Test debut in the first match at Delhi, earning his cap from Sachin Tendulkar. Ashwin took 3/81 in the first innings and 6/47 in the second, helping India win the match. He was awarded the man of the match and became the third Indian player to win the award on Test debut.[22][23] He picked four wickets in the second Test at Kolkata where India registered an innings victory.[24] In the third Test at Mumbai, he took 5/156 while West Indies made a total of 590 and scored his maiden international century in India's first innings (103 runs from 118 balls) to take India's total to 482. Ashwin thus became the third Indian to score a century and take a five-wicket haul in the same Test and the first since 1962.[25] West Indies were bowled out for 134 in their second innings as Ojha and Ashwin shared all ten wickets between them, with Ashwin picking 4/34. The match ended in a draw with the scores level, after Ashwin took a single and was dismissed run out attempting a second run off the last ball of the match. He was awarded the man of the match as well as the man of the series for his all-round performance.[26] Ashwin featured in four matches of the subsequent ODI series and took four wickets at 49.00.[27]
Ashwin was ineffective on India's 2011/12 tour of Australia. He played in three Tests on the tour taking nine wickets at an average of more than 62.[28] He also featured in the subsequent triangular CB Series against Australia and Sri Lanka and took seven wickets in as many matches at 43.42. In March 2012, he took five wickets in three matches of the 2012 Asia Cup in Bangladesh. He had a quiet tour of Sri Lanka in July–August 2012 taking five wickets at 39.40 in the five-match ODI series and 1/22 in the one-off T20I.[29]
Ashwin returned to form during the two-match home Test series against New Zealand. In the first Test at Hyderabad, he claimed 6/31 and 6/54 helping India seal an innings victory and was named the man of the match. His match figures of 12/85 bettered S. Venkataraghavan's 12/152 for the best figures by an Indian bowler against New Zealand in Tests.[30][31] In the second match at Bangalore his efforts of 5/69 in the second innings helped India win the match and the series 2–0.[32] He was awarded man of the series for his tally of 18 wickets at 13.11 average.[33] Ashwin played four matches in the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka and took five wickets at an economy rate of 6 and an average of 19.[34]
During the first Test of England's tour of India in late 2012, Ashwin became the fastest Indian to record 50 wickets in Test cricket as he overhauled the milestone in his ninth game.[35] India eventually lost the series 2–1 in which he struggled with the ball managing to take only 14 wickets in the four Tests at an average of 52.64. However, he scored 243 runs, averaging 60.75 per innings, including two fifties and finished as India's second best batsman of the series.[36] In the three-match ODI series against Pakistan and the five-match ODI series against England, he took three wickets at 43.33 and seven wickets at 35.71 respectively.[37][38]
While playing for India Cements at the BCCI Corporate Trophy in February 2013, Ashwin worked with former Tamil Nadu spinner and childhood coach Sunil Subramaniam to make changes to his bowling ahead of the four-match Test series against Australia. Subramaniam and Ashwin spent a few hours every day for a week at the nets in Nagpur. Among the changes made was shortening Ashwin's bowling stride.[39]

Ashwin was highly successful on Australia's four-Test tour of India in February–March 2013. In the first Test at Chennai, his home ground, he took 7/103 and 5/95 leading India to a comfortable eight-wicket victory.[40] He had a haul of 5/63 in the second innings of the second Test at Hyderabad where India registered an innings win. He took a total of four wickets in the Mohali Test where India sealed the series with a six-wicket victory. In the last match at Delhi, he took 5/57 and 2/55 in another Indian win which completed a 4–0 whitewash of Australia. During the match, Ashwin surpassed former India captain Anil Kumble's tally of 27 wickets for most wickets by an Indian bowler in a four-Test series.[41] Ashwin finished the series as the leading wicket-taker with a tally of 29 wickets at 20.10 and won the Man of the Series award.[42] It was the first time India won four or more Tests in a series and the first time Australia was whitewashed since 1969–70.[43] Ashwin also became the third Indian off-spinner to take 25-plus wickets in a series after E. A. S. Prasanna and Harbhajan Singh.
Ashwin was a member of the Indian team that won the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy in England. His figures of 2/15 in four overs in the 20-overs-a-side final helped India restrict England to 124/8 and win the match by five runs.[44] He had a total of eight wickets from five matches at an average of 22.62, conceding 4.41 runs per over, and ended as the joint-fifth highest wicket-taker of the tournament.[45] He was named as part of the 'Team of the Tournament' by Cricinfo.[46] With nine wickets in six matches, Ashwin finished as the leading wicket-taker of the home ODI series against Australia in October–November 2013 which India won 3–2.[47]
On India's tour of South Africa, Ashwin had a difficult time with the ball. He picked only one wicket across three ODIs and went wicketless in his 42 overs in the first Test at Johannesburg, following which, he lost his spot in the team to Jadeja for the second Test. In early 2014, Ashwin's overseas struggles continued during the New Zealand tour where he managed to bag a solitary wicket in the five-match ODI series which India lost 4–0.[48] However, in the third ODI, coming in to bat with India at 146/5 in pursuit of 315, he scored his maiden ODI fifty of 65 runs from 46 balls. He shared a 38-run partnership with Dhoni and an 85-run seventh wicket stands with Jadeja, as the match eventually ended in a tie.[49] In the two-match Test series that followed, Jadeja was preferred over Ashwin as the lone spinner in the playing eleven.
Ashwin was back among the wickets when India went to Bangladesh for the 2014 Asia Cup and the 2014 ICC World Twenty20. He took nine wickets in four matches of the Asia Cup and finished as the joint-third highest wicket-taker of the tournament.[50] He played a vital role in India's unbeaten run to the World Twenty20 final. His tally of 11 wickets in six matches at an average of 11.27 and economy rate of 5.35 put him joint-third on the list of most wickets in the tournament.[51] He was named in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2014 T20 World Cup by the ICC and Cricinfo.[52][53]
Ashwin was part of the Indian team that toured England in 2014. He played his first match of the Test series only in the fourth game in which he scored 40 and 46 not out but went wicketless in an innings defeat for India. He took three wickets in the last match, which was another innings defeat. India and Ashwin found more success in the ODI series followed. With India winning the series 3–1, Ashwin took seven wickets from four matches at an average of 24.85 and economy rate of less than 4.5.[54] India whitewashed Sri Lanka in a five-match ODI series in November 2014 in which Ashwin had 6 wickets to his name at 33.33.[55]
Debutant leg-spinner Karn Sharma was chosen over Ashwin for the first Test of India's tour of Australia in December 2014. After Sharma's indifferent debut, Ashwin returned to the playing eleven as the lone spinner and took a total of 12 wickets at an average of 48.66 in the remaining three matches.[56]

Ashwin was selected to represent India for the second consecutive ODI World cup to be held in Australia-New Zealand in 2015. He was also named as bench for the 'Team of the tournament' by Cricbuzz.[58]
In the 2015 three-match series against Sri Lanka, he dismissed Kumar Sangakkara, who was retiring following the second Test, four consecutive times in his final four innings. At the end of the series, he finished with 21 wickets and in the process, broke the record for most wickets by an Indian bowler in a series against Sri Lanka. He was awarded the Man of the Series.[59] These efforts led him to achieve the number 1 ranking in ICC Test Bowling Rankings for the year 2015 (which he retained in 2016).
In November 2015, Ashwin was a star performer throughout the Freedom Trophy Test series against South Africa in India. During the course of the series, he became the fastest Indian to reach 150 wickets in Test cricket.[60] In the third Test in Nagpur, he picked up 12 wickets for 98 runs to hand South Africa their first away series loss in nine years. His career-best figures of 7/66 in the second innings bowled the visitors out for 185 and gave India a 2–0 series win. For his performances in 2015, he was named as 12th man in the World Test XI by the ICC.[61] He was also named in the Test XI of the year 2015 by Cricinfo.[62]
In New Zealand's tour of India in 2016, Ashwin took 27 wickets in 3 Tests, including a career-best of 7 for 59 in an innings.[63]
For his performances in 2016, he was named in the World Test XI by the ICC and Cricinfo.[64][65]
In December 2016, the International Cricket Council named Ashwin the ICC Cricketer of the Year and the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year for 2016.[66] In the process, he became the third Indian to win the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the ICC Cricketer of the Year after Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar, and also the second cricketer ever after Dravid to win the two awards in the same year.[67] Now that India tour Australia, in the first Test's second innings Ashwin bowled 52.5 overs while conceding just 92 runs and taking 3 wickets at an economy of 1.74 per over.
For his performances in 2017, he was named in the World Test XI by the ICC.[68]
Ashwin's last international ODI game was on 30 June 2017 in the 3rd ODI at North Sound against the West Indies. He conceded 29 runs in his 10 overs, taking three wickets in a match that India won by 93 runs and has not played for India since.
Indian Premier League career[edit]
Ashwin started his IPL career with Chennai Super Kings in 2009. He went on to win two consecutive IPL titles with Chennai Super Kings in 2010 and 2011, he picked up 13 and 20 wickets respectively in each season. After Chennai Super Kings was banned for the 2016 and 2017 season, he was drafted to Rising Pune Supergiants. In the 2016 season, Ashwin picked up his 100th wicket against Kings XI Punjab in a four-wicket victory.[69] He missed the 2017 season due to sports hernia.[70]
On 27 January 2018, Ashwin was bought by Kings XI Punjab in the 2018 IPL Auction for ₹ 7.6 crores.[71] On 26 February, it was announced that he would captain Kings XI Punjab.[72] On 25 March 2019, in a match between Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab, Ashwin was highly criticised for mankading Jos Buttler.[73]
In 2020, Ashwin was traded off to the Delhi Capitals and is currently playing for them in the UAE.[74]
Yorkshire CCC[edit]
In January 2020, Ashwin signed for Yorkshire County Championship 2020 season.[75]
Bowling style[edit]
Ashwin produces several variations of the ball and flights the ball, thereby giving it more chance to spin and dip on the batsman. In addition to his normal off-breaks, he produces an arm ball and the carrom ball, the latter of which he uses frequently in the shorter formats. In IPL 2013, he bowled leg-breaks and googly as well.[76] However, in an interview, he has stated that he refrains from bowling the doosra as it requires him to bend and straighten his arm which he finds difficult to do.[77][78]
Ashwin's childhood coach Sunil Subramaniam recalls Ashwin's early days at the TNCA Academy:
[...] what struck me was his intelligence. His use of angles, length and width of the crease. Also, guessing what a batsman was likely to do. And the kind of field placing that he is comfortable with. Those are the factors that struck me immediately – that this guy not only loves bowling, he also has a fair idea of what spin actually is. For somebody who started out at 18 or 19, I thought that was a big thing [...] Here is a guy who knew what the ball is supposed to do, where this guy is expected to play and what are the plans to keep that guy in check and put pressure on that guy. He was pretty clear at 18 itself.[79]
Personal life[edit]
On 13 November 2011, Ashwin married his childhood friend Prithi Narayanan.[80] On 11 July 2015 the couple became parents of a baby girl named Akhira. Their second daughter Aadhya was born in December 2016.[81]
Tamil Nadu State Election Commission roped in Ashwin to catch the attention of citizens to create electoral awareness in which Ashwin advises voters to check whether their names are in the electoral roll and the outcome of the result is a huge hit.[82]
Ashwin is ranked number 10 among bowlers and 6 among all-rounders in Test cricket as of 2019.[83] In his 37th Test match, Ashwin became the fastest Indian bowler and the second fastest in the world to reach 200 Test wickets after Australian spinner Clarrie Grimmett (36 matches).[2] Ashwin was also the fastest Indian bowler and 5th fastest in the world to reach 100 Test wickets, getting to the milestone in his 18th Test match.
Ashwin became the first Indian cricketer to score a century and take five wickets in the same Test match on two separate instances.[84] He achieved this double for the first time in his third Test against West Indies in 2011 when he made 103 and took 5/156 in the first innings. He repeated the same feat in the Kolkata Test against West Indies in November 2013 where he took 2/52 in the 1st innings and 3/46 in the 2nd innings and scored 124 in India's 1st innings. This feat had only been achieved 26 times previously in world cricket, the last occasion being by Jacques Kallis in 2002.[citation needed] Ashwin also scored a hundred and took nine wickets when India played against West Indies at the Wankhede Stadium in 2011. Only four other India players have hit a hundred and taken five or more wickets in a match. Ashwin is the only one to do it twice.
Ashwin is also the third[contradictory] Indian cricketer to be awarded the Man of the Match (MoM) on debut. Other Indians to have done this before him were Narendra Hirwani, Pravin Amre and R.P. Singh[citation needed]. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan achieved this feat after Ashwin. Ashwin registered the second best bowling figures in a match on debut by an Indian bowler with 9/128, behind Hirwani's 16-wicket world record debut performance.[85] However, Mohammed Shami's 9/118 against West Indies in November 2013 pushed Ashwin to number 3 on the list.[85] Ashwin became the fastest Indian to record 50 wickets in Test matches as he overhauled the milestone in his ninth game. He achieved it when he dismissed the England opener Nick Compton on 16 November 2012 during the second day of the first Test at Ahmedabad. The previous record holder was the legendary Anil Kumble, who had reached the milestone in his tenth Test. On 8 December 2012, Ashwin completed 500 runs in his 11th Test cricket match when batting against England scoring 91*. With this he shares the record of becoming the fastest player along with Australia's Jack Gregory and England's Ian Botham, who also took 11 Tests to reach the mark of completing the all-round double of 500 runs and 50 wickets. Incidentally, the quickest Indian to reach 500 runs and 50 wickets before Ashwin was Salim Durani who did so in his 14th Test.[citation needed]
In 2013, Ashwin surpassed former India captain Anil Kumble as the leading wicket-taker for India in a four-Test series. Ashwin claimed his 28th wicket of Border-Gavaskar Trophy (2012–13) at the Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi. The previous record of 27 had been achieved by Kumble against Australia too, during the 2004–05 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
The 280-run partnership between Rohit Sharma and Ashwin in 2013 was India's highest in Tests for the seventh wicket, beating the unbroken 259-run partnership between VVS Laxman and MS Dhoni against South Africa at the same venue in 2010. This was also the second-highest partnership for India against West Indies for any wicket in Tests.
In 2016, Ravichandran Ashwin became first Indian to take 50 T20I wickets.[86] He is the highest wicket-taker in Twenty20 International cricket for India with 52 wickets.[86]
On 23 August 2016, Ashwin grabbed his sixth Man-of-the-Series Award, surpassing the tie by Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, and in only his 13th Test series, and 8th series where he played every Test.[87]
On 10 October 2016, Ashwin took his 20th five-wicket haul, making him the third fastest to reach the landmark.[88]
On 27 November 2016, he completed a double of 500 runs and 50 wickets in 2016. He is the second all-rounder from India to achieve this in a single calendar year.[89] Ashwin was the world's highest wicket taker in 2016 with 72 scalps.
On 12 February 2017, with the dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim, Ashwin became the fastest to reach 250 test wickets.[90][91]
In India's 2016-17 home season, Ashwin took 64 wickets in 13 Tests, becoming the highest wicket-taker for India in a single domestic season, surpassing Kapil Dev's record of 63 wickets in 10 Tests during the 1979-80 season.[92]
During the home test series against Australia, he became the fastest bowler to take 25 fifers in test history in terms of matches(47) and in terms of innings(89).[93][94] He along with Ravindra Jadeja became the first pair of spinners to be jointly ranked number 1 bowler in ICC Test Rankings history[95]
In the 4th and final Test match against Australia national cricket team at Dharamshala Cricket Stadium, March 2017, Ashwin dismissed Steve Smith (cricketer) and took his wickets' tally to 79. This is the most number of wickets by a bowler in a home season surpassing Dale Steyn's record of 78 in 2007-08.[96][97]
In November 2015, he became fastest Indian to 150 wickets as well during his 5 wicket haul against South Africa at Mohali.[98] In September 2016, he became the fastest Indian and second overall to get 200 wickets by dismissing Kane Williamson in India's 500th test match.[99]
On 27 November 2017, during the second Test against Sri Lanka, Ashwin became the fastest bowler to reach 300 Test wickets in his 54th Test.[100] His 300th victim was Sri Lankan tail-ender batsman Lahiru Gamage. India won the match by an innings margin along with the milestone.[101] The previous record holder was Australian fast bowling legend Dennis Lillee who had reached the milestone in 56 Test matches way back in 1981.[102]

Shanti wins 100m gold in 11.95 sec in Malaysia
It fell just shy of her national record of 11.89sec in the 100 metres, but it re-affirmed the fact that Shanti Pereira is in scintillating form.
The 17-year-old clocked 11.95sec at the Malaysia Open Athletics Championships in Perlis yesterday, a time that was enough for gold, beating Malaysian Zaidatul Husna Zulkifli (12.06) and Indonesia's Dedeh Irawati (12.23).
Just 10 days ago, Shanti became the first Singaporean woman to go under 24 seconds for the 200m, clocking 23.99s at Taiwan's Asian Junior Athletics Championships.
She clocked a personal best 11.79 at the same meet in the 100m, a time that was not ratified as a national record due to wind conditions failing to meet IAAF regulations.
Shanti clocked her national record of 11.89 at last year's IAAF World Youth Championships in Ukraine.
But it appears that Singapore's fastest woman is competing near the top of her game.
"Clocking times like these does make me feel good, like I'm on fire. I did think I could do better in the 100m, but I am confident that I can break that record soon," said Shanti, who is not quite done rewriting the record books yet.
Shanti will take part in next month's World Junior Championships in the United States, but she will run only in the 200m because her 2014 times failed to meet the 11.90 qualifying time for the 100m.
The next time she lines up for the century sprint will be at the Asian Games in September.
"Having back-to-back competitions like I'm having now is good, it really puts me in competition mode...and I am looking forward to competing against opponents who are, on paper, better than me - it challenges me to go even faster," she said.
Singapore also won bronze in Perlis yesterday, with T Piriyah clocking 58.15 in the women's 400m.
She came in behind Malaysian duo of Nurul Faezah (56.38) and Shareen Samson (57.75).
Shanti will line up in the 4x100m today.

Two West Bay men were sentenced to six years' imprisonment for importing ganja after the court was told it was their third such offense.
Mitchell Chean Ebanks and Henry Sidney Ebanks were sentenced on Tuesday by Magistrate Kirsty-Ann Gunn.
She described the defendants as "the Caymanians who set sail from Cayman to pick up the drugs."
Two Jamaican nationals with them received lesser sentences: Ornell Brian Campbell, who was jailed for three years, and Jerome Anthony Buddo, who was given a 29-month sentence.
The court heard that the four men were found aboard a vessel that was intercepted by Marine Unit officers about a half-mile off the north coast of Grand Cayman on Nov. 13, 2015. When officers boarded the vessel, Henry Ebanks told them there was about 80 pounds of ganja aboard and they were coming from Cayman Brac.
The men were arrested and the vessel was towed to the marine base, where a search recovered 138.6 pounds of ganja. All four men were charged with being concerned in the importation of ganja.
When the sentencing process began last week, Crown counsel Kenneth Ferguson advised the court that Mitchell Ebanks, 48, who pleaded guilty in this case, had been sentenced to 15 months in prison in 1997 for importing ganja. "Apparently, he never learned," Mr. Ferguson said, because the defendant was sentenced in 2002 to eight years for the same offense.
Mitchell Ebanks told police officers he was offered one ounce of cocaine and $100 to make the trip. He said when he went to Jamaica, other men loaded the boat.
Henry Ebanks, 53, who also pleaded guilty, had two previous convictions for importing ganja, Mr. Ferguson reported. In 1999, he received a sentence of two-and-a-half years; in 2005, he received five years.
Henry Ebanks told officers he was supposed to get $2,000 for his pay as mechanic on the boat.
Another boat met his boat off the coast of Jamaica and when "whatever" was put on the boat, he was asleep. He acknowledged smelling the ganja.
Campbell, 31, was found guilty after trial. The magistrate did not accept his account of simply getting a ride on the boat because he wanted to come to Cayman to work. She pointed out that he had worked in Cayman previously; he knew he needed to enter legally and have a passport in order to get a work permit.
Buddo, 39, was more cooperative than the others, Mr. Ferguson said. Buddo told officers he was coming to Cayman to get five pounds of ganja, which he intended to sell to assist his three children. When he got to the boat, it was already packed.
Defense attorney John Furniss represented Mitchell and Henry Ebanks.
Attorney Nicholas Dixey, representing Buddo, said his client knew what he did was wrong, but did not understand the gravity of it or the seriousness with which it is viewed in Cayman. His role was to assist in getting the boat to Cayman.
Attorney Alice Carver spoke for Campbell, saying he had struggled to find work in Jamaica and became desperate to return to Cayman, where he has relatives and a girlfriend.
The magistrate asked if any of the defendants had identified the person behind the enterprise. Mr. Ferguson said no. Further, Mitchell Ebanks and Henry Ebanks sought to put each other as the captain of the boat.
Mr. Ferguson added that the Crown was seeking the forfeiture of the vessel, which did not belong to any of the defendants.
The magistrate adjourned the matter until this week to consider the information presented, including precedents in similar cases.
On Tuesday she explained that three years was her starting point for a "secondary party" of previous good character. She said Campbell did not play a senior role in this enterprise; he could be described as a deckhand. He did not get a discount for his plea, so his sentence was three years.
For Buddo, she pointed to his intention to sell ganja. His culpability was therefore higher than a crewman. He had been working while on remand, which showed a positive attitude. That plus his cooperation and remorse enabled her to reduce a four-year sentence to 39 months. With a further 25 percent discount for his plea, his sentence was 29 months.
Turning to Mitchell and Henry Ebanks, she said neither had been deterred by his previous sentences. Their failure to identify the organizer of the enterprise was disappointing, she added.
As this was their third offense, her starting point was nine years, with a range of six to 11.
The magistrate allowed a discount for the guilty pleas, although the evidence was overwhelming.
Each man received six years.
Henry Ebanks had been further charged with human smuggling, but the magistrate said that offense was part and parcel of the operation. She imposed a concurrent term of six months.
A date is to be set for an application by the owner to get his boat back.

The establishment media has characterized the leader of LulzSec ratting out his hacktivist comrades as betrayal, but the incident reveals something far more sinister – government is responsible for creating and unleashing computer hacker groups.
Hector Xavier Monsegur, said to be the leader of LulzSec, worked for the FBI, according to news reports. He was reportedly arrested in Puerto Rico last June, pleaded guilty to hacking charges, and then began working with the FBI – or so the cover story would have it.
Monsequr, aka Sabu, decided what targets to attack and who would participate in the attacks, more than likely at the direction of this FBI handlers. It is believed he participated in the Anonymous effort to hack HBGary, the security firm that works closely with the CIA, NSA, FBI, and the Pentagon.
Sabu's Lulz Security, commonly abbreviated as LulzSec, claimed responsibility for taking the CIA website offline. It also attacked Fox News, PBS, Sony, and a number of gamer sites. LulzSec claims to have hacked local InfraGard chapter sites, the organization affiliated with the FBI, and released the emails and passwords of a number of users of senate.gov.
LulzSec and Anonymous attacks have provided the government with an excuse to push their cyber security agenda and propaganda campaign, including the proposal for a "kill switch" that would have allowed Obama to shut down the internet (due to public outrage, the proposal was dropped from a House bill in February).
Government and corporate groups cited LulzSec and Anonymous lawlessness last June to push the so-called Protect IP Act (known as PIPA). The introduction of a House version of the bill, dubbed SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act), was met with public outrage and widespread activism that forced Congress to reconsider the legislation.
In October, Mother Jones revealed that the FBI is notorious for creating supposed terrorist groups from scratch and then framing patsies in order to claim the government is protecting the United States from terrorists and also breathe life into an otherwise moribund war on mostly nonexistent terrorism.
Sabu's role as an FBI provocateur working inside LulzSec reveals the government is attempting to do the same in order to push its so-called cybersecurity agenda. The establishment is eager to pass a raft of legislation to closely regulate the internet, strip the medium of its anonymity, and close it down as an activism and alternative media tool.

"We only have a few orders left of the Baja Chicken and Waffles, so grab them quick!" Our server Sam knows us well and understands that this dish is a Must Get for many of us at my table - as, clearly, it is for a lot of the people here. "It's been a busy night." It was late on this blustery April evening, and as I looked around I saw an abundance of familiar faces -- locals. This is unusual for this time of year, but this is not your usual place. This is Bad Bean Baja Grill.
Tucked into the corner of the Seagate North Shopping Center in Kill Devil Hills, Bad Bean Baja Grill has been steadily gaining a loyal following for more than five years by consistently turning out fresh, innovative and delicious food.
Baja California conjures thoughts of Pacific seafood, tequila, tortillas, cold cerveza, hot chilies, sun-kissed produce and bodies and surf. Walking into Bad Bean I immediately think Cantina. There are cool tile floors, plenty of wooden tables, chairs and booths to slide into and an enormous bar that is completely full of people on this night. The walls are covered with local artwork depicting bright bold ocean waves. As I study the menu, with tapas and small plates being this Friday's feature, comparisons to a Cantina slip away.
What sets Bad Bean Baja Grill apart from any other Mexican restaurant on the Outer Banks and almost every other restaurant, period, is the level of education, experience, preparation and proficiency that is communicated through every dish offered here. The owner, Rob Robinson, graduated with honors from Johnson & Wales and went on to hone his skills in some of the most reputable kitchens in the country including Michael Minas Aqua in downtown San Francisco and the French Laundry in Napa Valley. Matt Payne, the chef de Cuisine at Bad Bean Baja Grill, received his culinary degree from the Culinary Institute of America and met Robinson when he interned at The Sanderling where Robinson was Chef de Cuisine at the Left Bank winning awards and accolades for his cooking. Together, they work closely as a team bringing their individual creativity and passion.
"This is a kitchen that loves to cook." Payne is talking about Bad Bean's approach to food. "We have a staff that enjoys cooking and fully supports our concept."
The concept, Payne explains, is cooking his food with the ingredients available. That means fresh local and regional. That means chicken and waffles, but with a Baja twist. The waffle is a Serrano pepper sweet potato waffle and the panko fried chicken breast on top is covered in chipotle maple syrup. Pork belly plays a huge role here. Made in house, it is tucked into perfectly flaky empanadas with a roasted red pepper syrup and also layered in tacos with jicama slaw, pickled red onion and housemade BBQ sauce. St. Louis Ribs are ancho-coffee glazed, local sweet potatoes are transformed into a perfectly pureed silky, smoky bisque drizzled with chili oil giving it just the right amount of hot. Heaven.
The amazing thing is that the duo's consistent creativity and passion are translated in such a casual way. Even though the food at Bad Bean could go toe to toe with any fine dining establishment on the beach -- we are, after all, on the beach. Visitors and locals alike feel comfortable coming here for dinner or to grab lunch or a craft beverage day after day after working or playing in the sun and surf.
The menu offers plenty of options for everyone. Fish tacos, burritos and quesadillas as well as salads (my favorite is the green chili Caesar) homemade soups made every day and grilled meats and fish are some of the many choices. A variety of salsas made in house complement everything. Fresh juices infuse imaginative margaritas and cocktails. "Good food doesn't have to be pretentious," Payne remarks.
So true...as I look around my table at the happy faces of my friends while I sip on the most delicious cucumber-infused margarita I have ever had...so true.

Govt urged to appoint permanent HEC chief by Feb 12
Islamabad: Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) here Monday directed federal government to appoint a permanent or regular chairman on or before February 12, 2014 in a transparent manner.
Justice Siddiqui passed this order after a joint secretary of ministry of education, training and standards in higher education told the court that they had forwarded a summary for the appointment of permanent or regular chairman of HEC on September 24, 2013. Till this time there is an acting chairman HEC appointed by the federal government whose tenure would expire on February 12, 2014.
Justice Siddiqui then ordered to appoint HEC chairman on or before February 12. Justice Siddiqui remarked that the chairman HEC is an important post for the higher education and government should be serious about this post.
Issuing said directions, court disposed of the case in this matter.
The petition was move in the court by the founder chairman of the HEC, a well-known educationist and scientist of Pakistan Dr Ata-ur-Rehman who is seeking from the court to direct federal government to immediately appoint a chairman HEC in an open and transparent manner.
Legal counsel for Dr Ata, Umar Hanif Kichi advocate had argued before the court that under the section: 8(3) of the HEC Ordinance 2002, 'the position of HEC chairman to lie vacant for a maximum of three months and it is mandatory that after 90 days, regular chairperson must be appointed'. However there is no regular permanent appointment of HEC chairman even after a lapse of 120 days since the tenure of former chairman of HEC Dr Javed Leghari had expired on August 26, 2013.
The petition said that the academic circles, vice chancellors, academic staff associations and the public at large, who are the key stakeholders, have already expressed reservations on non- initiation of process for appointment of a regular HEC chairman.
The petitioner said that the higher education commission comprises a chairman alongside its 17 members that is known as HEC Board. The commission or board as a whole takes all the key decisions and decides policy matters. Due to non-appointment of the HEC chairman, important decision regarding higher education has been pending.

Sihala College on the verge of closure
Islamabad: The Sihala Degree College in the federal capital is at the verge of becoming a ghost educational institution.
In its fifth year/session, the college is still without teaching and non-teaching staff, putting the future of the students at stake. It may be mentioned that the Federal Government Degree College Sihala was established in 2009.
It is the only and the first college in the suburban area of the federal capital to cater to the poor students whose parents cannot afford sending their children to colleges in the capital city.
An officer of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) requesting not to be identified said the college was without teaching, clerical and menial staff.
"The intermediate and degree classes in the college started in 2009 but without provision of regular teaching staff.
The FDE moved some teachers from other institutions to this college on a temporary basis but the practice failed because the teachers could not teach all the subjects, especially when the students needed subject specialists," he said.
In the absence of an appropriate budget and clerical staff, it was not possible to run the affairs of the college.
If the college is made fully functional, it would cater to the educational needs of the students from Rawat, Kak Pul, Model Town Humak, Jinnah Garden, Soan Garden, PWD Housing Society, Korang Town, DHA, Pakistan Town, Koral Chowk and the adjoining villages.
A teacher who has served in the college added that in the beginning without proper advertisement 270 students were given admission to the college.
It was estimated that the number would exceed 500 in the following session (2010) but as the government failed to provide the facilities in the institution the number fell to about 190.
Khurram Malik, a resident of the area, said the area people were initially very happy over the establishment of the college but later withdrew their children from the institution due to lack of facilities.
A teacher of the college added that a powerful person, whose farmhouse was located near the college building, had occupied 6.5 acres of the college land.
"A number of efforts were made by the ex-principal Mohammad Rasheed Sodhi to get back the possession of the land but due to negligence of the planning and development wing of the FDE his efforts could not bear fruit."
Bilal Ahmed, a resident of the area who studies in a college at H-8, said: "If Sihala College is equipped with facilities, I would never think of going to the H-8 college in public transport daily."
A trader, Mohammad Kashif, said MNA Dr Tariq Fazal Chaudhary and Senate Chairman Nayyer Bokhari were from the area but they never showed any interest in resolving the issues of the college.
The president of the Federal Government College Teachers, Prof Tahir Mahmood, added: "Sihala College exists only in papers." He said the land of the college should be vacated to make it available for the college use.
When contacted, Joint Secretary CADD Rafique Tahir said he had visited the college four times but it seemed that there were some deficiencies at the FDE level.
"The building and other infrastructure were complete and according to the rules the FDE has to move the PC-IV which is required for the appointment of teachers and other staff. Initially, teachers can be appointed on a contractual basis for two years and then appointed through the FPSC," he said.
"I will look into the issue again because Secretary CADD Faridullah Khan is serious in providing education to the children in their own localities," he said. Dawn

Flies & Moths ID
There are several species of flies that are indigenous to the Puget Sound area, but the three most common are the house fly, fruit fly and the crane fly.
The house fly is the most common species. House flies represent 90% of the entire fly population. They are grey with four dark stripes in the middle of their bodies and they are about a 1/4 inch in length. They lay their eggs in feces, dead animals, and garbage. They are transmitters of many diseases and illnesses.
Fruit flies are much smaller than house flies and are brown with red eyes. Fruit flies are attracted to sweet or fermented liquids such as vinegar, soda, syrups, liquor, and rotting fruit. They lay their eggs in their feeding grounds.
Crane flies resemble mosquitoes. They have slender bodies with long slim legs that can easily be detached from their bodies. Unlike, mosquitoes they are unable to bite; they are considered a pest because their larvae feeds on plant roots. Crane flies can do considerable damage to turf grass.
See Flies, Mosquitoes & Moths pest services for more information.
Moths resemble butterflies and some species are virtually identical in appearance. In addition to their appearance, moths can be identified by webbing, cocoons, and droppings.
Moths can also be identified by the damage that they do. Moths in the Tineidae family eat fabric and cloth, gypsy moths damage forestation, and some damage agriculture.
Moths can also be a problem because they attract other pests; birds, bats, and rodents can feed off of certain species of moths.
