Rahul Dravid has said that creating a window for the Indian Premier League would allow the world’s best players to play Test cricket, thereby enlivening the longer format

ESPNcricinfo staff16-Aug-2012

Rahul Dravid, the former India batsman, has said that creating a window for the Indian Premier League would not only let the world’s best players participate in the lucrative domestic Twenty20 tournament but, importantly, also allow them to play Test cricket, thereby enlivening the longer format.”The reality is the IPL is an important tournament and people do want to play it,” Dravid said on BBC’s at Lord’s during the third Test between England and South Africa. “And we are probably coming to a stage where maybe a time will come [when] there will need to be give-and-take – whether it is finding a window, or, whether making the tournament a little shorter.”Dravid was asked by the TMS host Jonathan Agnew whether the IPL, a tournament that lasts for close to two months, had played a big role in Kevin Pietersen falling out with the ECB and losing support from his teammates, which led to him missing the Lord’s Test. Dravid, who is in London to attend the MCC cricket committee meetings, was not sure if the IPL was the reason for the Pietersen debacle. He said a solution was necessary considering the IPL would continue to clash with the start of the England cricketing summer and Test cricket could not afford losing big names such as Pietersen and Chris Gayle.Pietersen had stirred a controversy in April when he said England were jealous of the IPL. A month later, he retired from limited-overs cricket, saying he wanted to focus only on Tests. That decision came on the heels of exhaustive discussions with the ECB, where Pietersen said he wanted to play only Test and Twenty20 cricket. But the ECB central contracts state that any player who makes himself unavailable for either format of limited-overs cricket is automatically ruled out of selection for both ODIs and T20s.”There are some positives with the IPL and you have to understand that if the top players in the world want to play it and people want to watch then there is got to be some thing good about it is as well,” Dravid said. “It does effect the England season particularly, and, especially since traditionally the English season has been the same for many, many years. So it is challenging that a little bit.”In time we are getting to that stage where all of us want the best players playing [Test cricket]. We all want Chris Gayle playing for West Indies whenever West Indies play a Test match. None of us want to see a situation today where a great player like Kevin misses out today for whatever reasons and I don’t want to get into that. But it is disappointing. The game is a loser when the top players don’t play Test cricket.”Dravid, who led Rajasthan Royals in the previous IPL, felt that for Test cricket to continue attracting fans and remain marketable, it was important that the best players were always available for selection. Leaving out the likes of Gayle and Pietersen, Dravid felt, would only drive the fans away.”I am not sure what the solution to it is exactly but I would love to be in a situation where the best players can play the IPL as well as represent their country in Test cricket. People like Chris Gayle and Kevin Pietersen are fantastic for Test cricket as they are for IPL and T20 cricket. And they have a short window in which to show us their talent. At the end of the day this is the game for the fans. The best players should represent their country – it is not only about the people who come to the ground. It is also for the young boys and girls who passionately follow their country in Test cricket. It is hard and disappointing when the best players don’t turn up to play for their country.”

Contratado no início desta temporada para ser um dos principais jogadores de meio de campo do São Paulo, o camisa 10 Nenê está em baixa com a camisa do Tricolor. Depois de ser um dos jogadores mais elogiados pela torcida no primeiro turno do Campeonato Brasileiro, o armador vive seu maior jejum de gols desde sua chegada ao clube do Morumbi. Ao todo, são 643 minutos sem balançar as redes adversárias.

Vice-artilheiro do São Paulo no Brasileirão com oito gols anotados (o centroavante Diego Souza lidera a lista com dez tentos), Nenê marcou pela última vez no jogo contra o Paraná, o primeiro do segundo turno, no dia 22 de agosto. De lá para cá, o meio-campista passou em branco nos oito jogos seguintes e registrou seu maior jejum com a camisa tricolor.

Importante ressaltar que no início da temporada, logo que chegou ao São Paulo, Nenê ficou nove jogos sem fazer nem um gol sequer. Naquela época, no entanto, o jogador ainda estava em fase de adaptação e nem sempre começava jogando. Somado o tempo que o camisa 10 ficou em campo foram 524 minutos sem balançar a rede. Portanto, menos que o atual.

Curiosamente, neste atual período de seca de seu camisa 10, o Tricolor só teve uma vitória, contra o Bahia, em casa. No mais, o time do técnico Diego Aguirre colecionou empates e derrotas que o tiraram da liderança e o colocaram na incômoda quarta colocação. Atualmente, são sete pontos de diferença para o rival Palmeiras.

Em busca de sua reabilitação no Campeonato Brasileiro, o São Paulo mede forças com o Atlético-PR no Morumbi, no próximo sábado. No primeiro turno foi justamente contra o Furacão que o Tricolor iniciou sua disparada rumo à conquista do troféu Osmar Santos, prêmio concedido pelo LANCE! ao campeão da primeira metade da competição nacional. Naquela ocasião, vitória por 1 a 0, o gol saiu dos pés de Nenê.

West Brom were unable to give their returning fans something to shout about as they were well-beaten by West Ham at the Hawthorns on Wednesday evening.

It’s been a long 14 months without spectators in the stadium but the Baggies faithful were treated to a thrilling encounter that saw both teams muster up plenty of chances.

However, it was the classy visitors who punished them severely, which was understandable given they are one match away from sealing a place in Europe, compared to Albion’s fate already being confirmed.

There have been some positive performances under Sam Allardyce despite failing to stave off relegation, particularly defensively, but West Brom reverted back to their old selves as the backline could not deal with the Irons’ tricky attack.

Michail Antonio’s energy and ruthlessness caused all sorts of problems, especially for the towering Semi Ajayi, who endured a rare shocking night in the Midlands.

The 27-year-old centre-back was rated amongst Allardyce’s worst performers with a grade of 6.3, as per SofaScore, whilst BirminghamLive were equally scathing in their post-match column.

“Awful first minute when his undercooked pass backwards goal was latched on by Antonio,” wrote journalist Joseph Chapman. “Mercifully Rice fluffed the penalty. Looked rather shaky after that.”

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-west-brom-news-manager-gossip-transfer-rumours-and-more” title= “Read the latest West Brom news, transfer rumours, managerial gossip and more!”]

The £6m-rated star struggled to have much of an influence in the game, registering just 38 touches, which was fewer than goalkeeper Sam Johnstone (48) and his defensive partner, Kyle Bartley (47).

He also managed only 17 passes throughout the 90 minutes, a rate of one every 5.7 minutes, only further emphasising how little he was involved on the night.

In addition to that, Antonio’s presence was a constant thorn in West Brom’s defence all game and that was reflected by Ajayi winning just three of nine duels (33%) and being dribbled past on one occasion, via SofaScore.

The 6 foot 4 colossus worryingly failed to make a single tackle or block.

It was certainly a one-off poor performance but with fans back in the ground, Ajayi badly let them down at the Hawthorns on Wednesday.

The preview of the tri-series final between Zimbabwe A and South Africa A in Harare

Abhishek Mukherjee20-Jul-2012

Zimbabwe A will look for inspiration from last month’s T20 series win as they look to stop an unbeaten South Africa A in the final of the tri-series on Saturday.South Africa A have been dominant in the tournament, largely due to some responsible middle-order batting. In all four of their league games, there has been at least a batsman who has looked to bat throughout the innings to try to eliminate any slip-up. Colin Ingram, the highest run-getter in the series with 179 runs, right-hand batsman Reeza Hendricks who follows him with 163 runs, captain Faf du Plessis and opener Richard Levi have all played their part.In the third match, the only tight game South Africa have played in the tournament, No. 3 batsman Ingram and No. 9 Rory Kleinveldt managed to steer their side to a tight victory when the chase looked improbable at 114 for 5, and later 182 for 7, chasing 243. The match, according to Zimbabwe commentator Dean du Plessis, could have been won by the hosts. “Had Zimbabwe A held on to their catches and fielded better, the outcome may have been different,” he said in a Zimbabwe cricket media release. The win could have meant three wins in the tournament for them, and the same for South Africa.While batting has been the advantage for South Africa, Zimbabwe’s bowling has been the best of the three teams. Left-arm fast bowler Brian Vitori has been the most prolific wicket-taker with nine wickets, including a spell of 5 for 37 against Sri Lanka A on July 14. Elton Chigumbura, who has played 142 ODIs for Zimbabwe, took a match-winning spell of 6 for 24 in his second game of the tri-series, against Sri Lanka A on Thursday.South Africa have the benefit of the experience of players who have played for the national side like Wayne Parnell, who took 3 for 10 in their opening match in Harare, and captain du Plessis, but the hosts can topple the favourites if top-order batting performs.”Yes, there has been some good bowling at times, but all the batsmen have been very reluctant to express themselves and to up the tempo,” Dean du Plessis said. “Strong teams such as South Africa are very good at tightening the screws while applying pressure, but they are also only human and once you take the game to them by playing attacking and aggressive cricket, they will begin to feel the pressure like any other team.”Zimbabwe have defeated Sri Lanka twice in the tournament, including the convincing eight-wicket victory on Thursday courtesy Chigumbura. Having already eliminated one of the stronger teams, Zimbabwe will hope to add another big scalp in the final.

O momento matemático e técnico do CSA pede uma vitória diante da Ponte Preta na próxima sexta-feira (12) para que o clube de Maceió volte a olhar mais à frente do que atrás na tabela de classificação da Série B do Brasileirão.

Enquanto a diferença pensando no Fortaleza e a briga pelo título da competição está em seis pontos, a vantagem que o Azulino acumula para o quinto colocado Guarani é de cinco pontos. Algo que notoriamente preocupa o lateral-direito Celsinho.

Para ele, o momento é efetivamente de pensar apenas no próximo jogo e sair do estádio Rei Pelé com os três pontos para se consolidar entre as equipes que irão subir a primeira divisão em 2019. Isso porque, em caso de revés, o jogador afirma que a situação do CSA pode efetivamente se complicar:

-Nós temos cinco pontos de vantagem para o quinto colocado. Uma derrota em casa pode nos complicar. É importante ter equilíbrio durante os noventa minutos para sairmos com uma vitória no Rei Pelé. Esse jogo é uma final para a nossa equipe, que precisa vencer para continuar firme no G4.

Offspinner Saeed Ajmal has said that Pakistan’s bowlers had a lot of positives to take from the second day of the Galle Test

Kanishkaa Balachandran in Galle23-Jun-2012

Offspinner Saeed Ajmal has said that Pakistan’s bowlers had a lot of positives to take from the second day of the Galle Test, after a poor opening day. Sri Lanka were 300 for 2 at stumps on day one but Pakistan, led by Ajmal’s five-wicket haul, dismissed them for 472.Ajmal was the only bowler who looked like troubling the batting order at the start. He took the first five wickets to fall and completed his sixth five-for. Ajmal removed Thilan Samaraweera and Angelo Mathews off successive deliveries to leave Sri Lanka on 335 for 5, but no one could not dislodge Kumar Sangakkara, who remained unbeaten on 199.”They [Sri Lanka] batted very well but we didn’t bowl badly,” Ajmal said after the second day. “The bowlers had an off day yesterday but we bowled better today. The wicket was slow but at the end of the day our batting flopped.”Pakistan’s batting was a let down. After being on the field for close to two hot days, their top order imploded, leaving them on 48 for 5, 225 runs away from avoiding the follow-on. Despite Pakistan’s position, Ajmal backed the batsmen to stage a recovery and give the bowlers a second chance.”We need to get some runs on the board and we need to come back through our bowling because our bowling over the last two years has been good,” Ajmal said. “I think the pitch will get slower, because the grass has been shaved off.”Pakistan are without their regular captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who is serving a one-match ban for a slow over rate, and Ajmal said he had been missed. “Misbah is our regular captain and someone who can hold the batting together,” he said. “If he is playing, we wont have to rely on inexperienced players handling pressure in the middle. Our batsmen are working really hard at practice, but I cannot say why we’re struggling.”

أكدت تقارير صحفية سعودية أن نادي الهلال قرر فسخ تعاقده مع أحد الرعاة، وذلك بعد نشره صورة للنجم الأرجنتيني ليونيل ميسي ألمحت إلى اقترابه من الانتقال إلى الهلال.

وكانت تقارير ربطت الهلال بالتوصل لاتفاق لضم ليونيل ميسي مما تسبب في نشر تطبيق المطار، الشريك الرسمي للنادي، تغريدة عبر حسابه الرسمي على “تويتر”، وقال: “حيا الله ولدنا.. جهزوا البشوت”.

وكتب الإعلامي الرياضي السعودي معن القويعي المقرب من نادي الهلال من خلال حسابه الرسمي عبر “تويتر”: “خطوة رائعة ومهمة من إدارة الهلال بقيادة سعادة الرئيس فهد بن نافل ومن إدارة شركة الهلال الاستثمارية بقيادة الرئيس سلطان آل الشيخ في فسخها لعقد أحد الرعاة”.

وأكمل: “جمهور الهلال خط أحمر واللعب على وتر الرتويت وبث شائعات لا تنطلي على كيان بحجم الهلال”.

من جانبه قال الإعلامي السعودي أحمد العجلان: “إدارة نادي الهلال قررت فسخ شراكتها مع أحد الرعاة للنادي، لارتكابهم عدة مخالفات، منها عدم التزامهم بسياسات النادي”.

يذكر أن نايف هزازي لاعب الاتحاد السعودي السابق قدم التهنئة لقائد الهلال سلمان الفرج، مؤكدًا انضمام ميسي لصفوف أزرق الرياض.

وقال نايف هزازي لاعب المنتخب السعودي السابق في مقطع الفيديو المتداول: “مبروك عليكم التعاقد مع ميسي، خذها مني”، ليرد عليه سلمان الفرج لاعب وسط الهلال: “هذه جديدة لا أعرف عنها شيئًا”.

طلبت أوكرانيا من الفيفا والاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم “يويفا” تأجيل المباريات الفاصلة لكأس العالم المقبلة مع اسكتلندا.

وكان من المقرر أن تقام مباراتهم في الدور نصف النهائي في ملعب هامبدن بارك يوم 24 مارس، حيث سيواجه الفائز النمسا أو ويلز في كارديف على مكان في مونديال قطر هذا العام.

لكن أوكرانيا طلبت الآن من كلا الهيئتين الدوليتين في البطولة تأجيل المباراة، بسبب الغزو المستمر للبلاد من قبل الجيش الروسي.

كان من المقرر أن تواجه روسيا بولندا في نصف النهائي، لكن الفيفا طردها من البطولة كعقوبة على الغزو.

قبل طلب أوكرانيا، تحدث لاعب اسكتلندا الدولي آدم أرمسترونج عن الشعور باللعب في الدور نصف النهائي من الملحق لكنه اعترف بأن وظيفته كانت الفوز بالمباراة.

قال لاعب خط وسط ساوثهامبتون البالغ من العمر 29 عامًا لشبكة سكاي سبورتس نيوز: “إنه وضع فريد من نوعه، متأثر بشدة بالمشاعر بالطبع، صعب للغاية ولكن أود أيضًا أن أؤكد أنها لعبة كرة قدم، الناس وخاصة اللاعبين سيركزون على كرة القدم عندما تنطلق المباراة”.

وأضاف أرمسترونج، الذي كان من المتوقع أن ينضم إلى تشكيلة ستيف كلارك للمباراة: “إنه وضع صعب لجميع المشاركين، أفكاري تذهب إلى الشعب في أوكرانيا في الوقت الحالي، كرة القدم تأخذ مقعدًا خلفيًا”.

وقال أندريه شيفتشينكو مهاجم تشيلسي وأسطورة ميلان السابق إن كرة القدم “غير موجودة” بالنسبة له وسط الغزو الحالي بينما كان يتحدث إلى قناة سكاي سبورتس نيوز.

رفضت عائلة شيفتشينكو مغادرة أوكرانيا وظل البالغ من العمر 45 عامًا في لندن خلال الصراع للمساعدة في قيادة النداء من أجل إيصال المساعدات الإنسانية إلى بلاده.
