BERLIN -- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored a hat trick on his Bundesliga debut to give Borussia Dortmund a 4-0 win at Augsburg in the opening round of the German league on Saturday. Gabon international Aubameyang -- a 13 million-euro ($17 million) off-season signing from French side Saint-Etienne -- opened the scoring in the 24th minute, made the game safe in the 66th, and added another in the 79th before Robert Lewandowski scored from a penalty kick with four minutes remaining. "We got great goals and finished the game with confidence. Not many win 4-0 here. That makes me proud," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. Hertha Berlin celebrated its return to the Bundesliga with a 6-1 rout of visiting Eintracht Frankfurt, thanks to two goals each from Adrian Ramos and Sami Allagui and one each from Ronny and German-American defender John Anthony Brooks. Bayer Leverkusen won 3-1 at home over Freiburg, Hannover beat nine-man Wolfsburg 2-0 at home, and Nuremberg drew 2-2 at Hoffenheim. Zlatko Junuzovics late strike gave Werder Bremen a 1-0 win at Eintracht Braunschweig in the late game, denying the home side a winning return to the Bundesliga after 28 years. "Something was missing for 28 years," proclaimed a large banner before kickoff, but the closest Braunschweig came to scoring was in the 64th, when Ken Reichels shot crashed off the crossbar. Bremen keeper Sebastian Mielitz just got his fingertips to the ball. Junuzovic scored in the 82nd, lifting the ball over the goalkeeper against the run of play. Braunschweigs hopes of an equalizer were dashed when Jan Hochscheidts shot was blocked on the line in the 88th. "We created enough chances in the second half. Its just a shame we couldnt make more of them," said Braunschweig captain Dennis Kruppke. The 24-year-old Aubameyang became only the sixth player in the Bundesliga to score a hat trick on his debut. He beat a defender to meet Marcel Schmelzers cross with a header beyond the helpless Augsburg keeper. Marco Reus set up his second, which Aubameyang curled around the goalkeeper inside the far post. Aubameyang rounded the goalkeeper for his third, tucking the ball into the empty net, after Lewandowski had played the ball into his path. "Aubameyang was put to great use today. Im not surprised about what he offers, but that all the balls go in already. Its a very good start," Klopp said. Lewandowski added a fourth with an emphatic penalty, after Jonas Hofmann was fouled in the area. Despite the scoreline, Dortmund found it hard to break down the stubborn home side. Augsburg might have equalized in the first half but for a goal-line clearance from Sven Bender, while reserve goalkeeper Mitch Langerak pulled off a great save from Raphael Holzhauser. Langerak maintained his record of 11 wins from 11 competitive games for Dortmund. "Of course were disappointed. We imagined and hoped for it to go a little differently," said Augsburg coach Markus Weinzierl. "Our mistakes were punished ruthlessly." Ramos scored Herthas first goal back in the Bundesliga following a well-worked counterattack in the 18th, and Brooks made it 2-0 by shooting through a host of players in the 32nd. Alexander Meier pulled one back from the penalty spot five minutes later, but Allagui scored twice in as many minutes to decide the game with half an hour remaining, before Ramos and then Ronny completed the rout. "The performance was sensational. Now we have the first three points, we can enjoy the game a little bit. But well be back in everyday life very quickly. We can still improve," Hertha coach Jos Luhukay said. It was the first time since December 2004 that Hertha scored six goals in a Bundesliga game. The home side also hit the crossbar three times in the first half. "Its hard for me to analyze such a game," Frankfurt coach Armin Veh said. Freiburg striker Mike Hanke cancelled out Stefan Kiesslings opening goal for Leverkusen, but Son Heung-min scored his first Bundesliga goal for Leverkusen just after the break and Sidney Sam secured the win in the 52nd. Leon Andreasen and Szabolcs Huszti scored for Hannover, either side of the sendings off of Maximilian Arnold and Timm Klose for Wolfsburg. Mike Frantz and Daniel Ginczek drew Nuremberg level at Hoffenheim, which had gone ahead through David Abraham and Anthony Modeste. The home side was left to rue a goal that wasnt given in first half injury time, when the ball came back out over the line due to the spin from Kevin Vollands lob over the goalkeeper. "Its annoying that such a goal was stolen but I dont want to accuse anyone. Its hard for the linesman to see. It was hard for me to see," Volland said. Referee Thorsten Kinhoefer said the match officials realized the mistake at halftime. "Where people judge, mistakes happen. Its very annoying that we made this mistake today," Kinhoefer said.

Hector Rondon Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The year was 1991 and I was just another self-conscious teenager. Skinny. Pimples. Railroad tracks across my teeth. Although I was a blind boy attending a blind school, there were some partially sighted girls and word was that they were pretty.Ensconced in my bedroom at boarding school in Worcester, South Africa, I scanned through the radio stations, looking for something to occupy my mind. Suddenly my ears were assaulted by a cacophony of sounds. South Africa were playing an ODI in India after being readmitted to international cricket.I had heard the names of some of the South Africans - Kepler Wessels, Allan Donald, Jimmy Cook. But I didnt even know what a six was. Although my older brother Gary was a good cricketer back home in Zimbabwe, and I had heard people talking about the game, it didnt really mean anything to me. How could I picture it when I had never seen it?A week later, I was back home for the holidays. Gary and my parents picked me up from the airport. The whole way home from Harare to Kadoma, a two-hour journey, I asked them questions about the game. My dad and Gary were bewildered as to where this interest in cricket had come from, but they supplied the answers that became the building blocks of my passion. I started soaking up facts and names like a sponge, listening intently to debates about the differing merits of Donald and Eddo Brandes.By the end of the holidays I had a firm grasp on the game, and my excitement was peaking because I knew there would be commentary of Currie Cup matches on the radio when I got back to South Africa.The following year the World Cup came around, and Zimbabwe beat England, with Brandes bowling our old export Graeme Hick for a duck. I was totally hooked.When Zimbabwe were suddenly given Test status later that year, and lined up a Test against India, I figured there was only one way that I would be able to follow it. For weeks before the game, I saved my pocket money and converted it into coins. I knew the telephone number for the call box at the Red Lion, a pub at Harare Sports Club, and when the Test got underway, I started calling it to find out the score. Sometimes someone would answer, but they werent always that friendly.In the end I reverted to calling Radio One in Zimbabwe, where people were friendly but didnt necessarily know what was going on. Maybe you can make sense of this, they would say. It says two-seven-five divided by four. Eventually they knew when it was me calling, because they could hear the coins dropping into the pay phones coin box as the call went through. Yes, is that the guy calling from South Africa? they would ask.Soon cricket became an obsession. I managed to obtain Dave Houghtons home number and started calling him to talk about the game for as long as my allowance would hold out. One day as we were chatting, he heard the beep beep beep that warns you the call is about to be dropped because the money has run out. Quickly, he said, whats your number? He just managed to jot it down in time and then called me back.The following Sunday, Old Hararians played Alexandra Sports Club, and afterwards everyone was having a beer in the bar. Davie mentioned to my brother what a pleasure it had been talking to me. Gary went home and told my parents, and soon my dad was asking me why I was spending money that was meant for toothpaste and deodorant on phone calls to Houghton. I told him that Davie had called me back, but that just got me into more trouble.I also used to call Eddo, although he never called me back. And at one stage Grant Flower and Alistair Campbell were sharing a flat in town, and I got their number. They were pretty happy to talk, but Houghton is the only person Ive met whose appetite for discussing cricket exceeded my own. Many years lateer, after I had become a commentator, the two of us were driving from Harare to Bulawayo for a cricket match.ddddddddddddThe only break from cricket chatter on the five-hour journey was when we passed through Kadoma, and he said, Gee, Im a bit thirsty, and stopped for a drink.My commentary career came about almost by accident. I had finished school and was back in Zimbabwe in 1999, working on the switchboard for an irrigation company, when Sri Lanka came to visit. I met Ravi Shastri, who was there as a neutral commentator, and was allowed to sit in the commentary box so long as I promised not to make a sound. Eventually some of the commentators started chatting to me and asking for my opinions.Two years later India were back in Zimbabwe, and Shastri interviewed me during one of the tea breaks. Afterwards I was loitering around the press box when I heard a voice that I recognised from my school days in South Africa. It was Neil Manthorp, and I introduced myself. He was doing radio commentary for Cricinfo on the game and asked if I would join him. He ran it by his boss in London, who told him to keep it to 15 minutes. But as it went on, the editor emailed to tell Neil to keep me on for the rest of the slot, and then for the series. My television debut came in 2003 when Mike Haysman persuaded the director to get me on during the second one-day international against West Indies in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe won the game, with Heath Streak and Mark Vermeulen taking them to a six-wicket victory, and the celebrations were extra sweet that night.I was born with tumours behind both retinas, so my eyesight was destroyed before birth. The doctors told my parents that I had three to five months to live. I had my left eye removed when I was three months old, and my right eye came out in 2001, leaving me with two glass eyes.This came in handy during an encounter with Darrell Hair during Englands tour to Zimbabwe in 2004. We had briefly met in Harare, and in Bulawayo we got chatting some more. Zimbabwe had been on the receiving end of several bad decisions from him, so I said, Darrell, Ive got something Id like to give you to help you out. I took out my right eye and put it in his hand. He went very quiet, then apparently he glowered at me, and then started to smile. Eventually he put his head back and bellowed with laughter. Eventually I had to remind him to please give me my eye back.As remarkable as my story is, I know there are things that only a sighted commentator can do. For example, I cant analyse the field placements and make suggestions of how they could be changed. But I still feel I have a lot to offer.When Im wired into the stump microphone, I can generally make out who is bowling from listening to the way that they land and how they grunt, and from that point there are many giveaways as to what has happened. The length of time between the sound of the ball pitching and hitting the bat, the shuffle of the batsmans feet, and the type of noise that emanates from the bat striking the ball, all give me an idea of what shot has been played. Then the different calls of various batsmen, and the shouts of the fielders or the sound of the crowd, suggest whether the ball has pierced the field and how far it may have gone. So I can follow the game carefully, and along with the facts, figures, scorecards and conversations that Ive stored in my mind over the years, I can perform a role as an analyst.To date, the only places Ive travelled for cricket are South Africa and Bangladesh. Opportunities have been a bit short lately, and things in Zimbabwe are not easy. But one day I hope to get out there and see the world. ' ' '
