A composed innings from Lee Carseldine led Queensland to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over South Australia in the Twenty20 Big Bash clash at the Gabba.Carseldine provided one half of a powerful pairing as he and Nathan Reardon combined for a third-wicket stand of 85 from just 49 balls to swing the match in the Bulls’ favour.The game hinged on two key moments. Redbacks debutant Kane Richardson dropped a relatively simple offering from Reardon on 2, and earlier, second-gamer Wade Townsend plucked a screamer to remove Redbacks run-machine Michael Klinger as his innings of 42 was beginning to blossom.The Bulls looked in trouble chasing a modest 164 when Townsend exited with the total at 43, but Carseldine and Reardon in particular made the Redbacks pay for missed opportunities. Reardon clubbed five sixes in his 23-ball 46 which changed the game. Carseldine continued his exceptional form anchoring the chase with 67 from 47 deliveries, to ensure the Bulls cruised to victory with 12 balls to spare.The Bulls could have been chasing plenty more after the Redbacks got away to a blistering start thanks to Daniel Harris and Klinger, who posted 50 in the first five overs. But the innings ground to a halt with good spells from Chris Simpson and Ben Laughlin, plus some superb fielding, reining the visitors in.Graham Manou and Sohail Tanvir salvaged the innings with a good late-order stand but similar to their clash with the Blues, the Redbacks came up at least 20 runs short.The loss ends the Redbacks’ campaign while the Bulls, with one game remaining, sit third on the Big Bash table, still in contention for the final.

Taylor ready and willing for England

James Taylor has declared himself far better prepared for Test cricket now than he was on debut last year, despite conceding that his unbeaten century against the Australians in Hove was less than fluent

James Taylor has declared himself far better prepared for Test cricket now than he was on debut last year, despite conceding that his unbeaten century against the Australians in Hove was less than fluent. Taylor and his temporary county team-mate Monty Panesar both enjoyed their audition against the Australians and both will hope to face them again next week after being named in England’s 14-man squad for the Old Trafford Test.Panesar’s chances of playing hinge largely on the condition of the pitch in Manchester, while Taylor’s hopes rest on the condition of Kevin Pietersen’s troublesome calf. Taylor, parachuted in from Nottinghamshire in order to gain some experience against the Australians, scratched around for his 121 not out and was dropped twice before he reached triple-figures but said if he received the nod in Manchester he would be ready.”It wasn’t the best innings I’ve played, it wasn’t one of my most fluent at all, but it’s about finding a way when you’re not feeling in the best touch and I did that,” Taylor said. “Mentally and technically I feel in a good place. I’m delighted to score runs, I don’t really mind how. It’s not how, it’s how many, and that’s how I go about my game.”Taylor’s two Tests against South Africa last year brought scores of 34, 10 and 4, and he was told by the selectors to go away, work on some technical issues and churn out the runs at domestic level. He has done that, piling up 824 for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship this season, and his hundred against the Australians was his third first-class century this summer.”I’ve worked hard on my game since I was left out,” he said. “It was a great experience playing against South Africa but it was all too brief, and I’ve gone away and worked really hard since getting left out. I’ve piled on the runs like the selectors asked me to and I feel like I’m in a good place now.”I was in a kind of a no-win situation in this game, but the purpose was to spend time in the middle against the red ball after all the T20 cricket in recent weeks and it was nice to do that against a decent attack. It was definitely a pressure situation – if I hadn’t scored any runs everybody would have commented on that, but luckily I did and got what I needed out of the game.”Like Taylor, Panesar got what he wanted out of the match against the Australians, picking up 3 for 70 in the first innings, and it was another confidence-booster after a difficult start to the summer. Panesar has managed only 21 wickets at 40.09 during the Championship this season but he said some remedial work with Peter Such, England’s spin bowling coach, had put his season back on track.”I kind of struggled early season, I was not getting the action I wanted to get, and then I went away and did a bit of work with Peter Such on a one-to-one basis to get my action in the right order,” Panesar said. “Over the Twenty20 period I’ve used the time to get my action in order, and in the Championship games and in the dry weather we’ve had I’ve tried to perform and prepare myself if the call came.”Panesar has an outstanding record at Old Trafford, where he has collected 25 wickets at 16.72 in three Tests, but it is five years since he last played a Test there. If, as expected, the teams are greeted with a dry pitch, a two-man spin attack could well be employed by England, and Panesar said he would fancy his chances against the Australians in such circumstances.”The England team have put them slightly under pressure, but the Australia team is a very competitive team, they are going to come hard at us. You always feel maybe against spin there is an opportunity,” he said. “But they are good players, you can’t completely discard Australia, they’re a competitive cricket team – but I do feel even in this game I was always in with a chance.”

بونوتشي يحسم موقفه من عرضي الدوري السعودي ونيوكاسل

تلقى ليوناردو بونوتشي قائد فريق يوفنتوس الإيطالي، عروضًا من الدوري السعودي، ونيوكاسل الإنجليزي لمغادرة السيدة العجوز هذا الصيف.

وتشهد علاقة بونوتشي بالمدير الفني ليوفنتوس، ماسيمليانو أليجري، توترًا خاصة في الموسم الماضي، وأصبحت علاقتهما الفاترة غير جيدة على الإطلاق، مما فتح باب التكهنات أمام مستقبل المدافع.

ومع بقاء عام واحد على عقده الحالي، أشارت تقارير إلى أن بونوتشي البالغ من العمر 36 عامًا، يدرس المقترحات المقدمة له.

ومع ذلك، تشير صحيفة “لا ريبوبليكا” إلى أن بونوتشي ليس لديه نية لمغادرة يوفنتوس، وسوف يلتزم بالموسم الأخير من عقده، حتى لو قضى معظم الوقت على مقاعد البدلاء.

بقميص يوفنتوس خاض بونوتشي 502 مباراة، وسجل 37 هدفًا وقدم 10 تمريرات حاسمة.

وبدأ بونوتشي مسيرته مع يوفنتوس منذ عام 2010 وغادر موسم 2017-2018 إلى ميلان، ثم عاد مجددًا للبيانكونيري. 

Erik explica último lugar em kart e realça clima dos atletas no Botafogo

MatériaMais Notícias

Após se recuperar no Campeonato Carioca, o Botafogo também parece viver uma fase positiva fora de campo. Na noite da última quarta-feira, alguns dos atletas, incluindo o recém-contratado Diego Souza, se encontraram para fazer uma corrida de kart. Entre eles estava Erik, que explicou, em entrevista coletiva nesta quinta-feira, sobre a última colocação e elogiou o clima entre todos.

-Não posso mostrar muito meu potencial no Kart, me deram o carro errado, tenho o direito de reclamar. Me fecharam na largada e é importante largar bem, né? (risos). Mas tenho que continuar rápido dentro de campo. Mal chegou e o Diego Souza já estava na resenha, isso é muito legal – brincou.

Desde que chegou, Diego Souza é um dos centros da atenção no Botafogo. O atacante foi recebido com festa pela torcida, que apareceu em bom número na sede em General Severiano. Erik destacou que o recém-contratado vai ser importante tanto dentro quanto fora de campo.

-Atleta de alto nível, que vestiu a camisa de grandes clubes, até da Seleção. Diego Souza pode contar comigo e com todo o grupo. Somos uma família. Acredito que ele vai ajudar muito a gente, mas quem decide a forma dele jogar é o Zé – afirmou.

Após um início irregular, o Botafogo ter reencontrado o caminho das vitórias e, por estar em uma posição ruim na classificação geral do Estadual, precisa ser campeão da Taça Rio para se garantir na semifinal da competição. A próxima partida será contra o Fluminense, no domingo, às 19h, no Maracanã.

-Começamos o ano com muita dificuldade. Jogadores chegando, outros saindo. O grupo era muito jovem. Evoluímos no mata-mata e fomos ganhando corpo. Agora chegaram jogadores de qualidade como Cícero e Diego Souza. Só quem tem a ganhar é o Botafogo. Estamos ganhando espaço com a chegada desses reforços – reforçou.

Supreme Court relief for Pawar, five top board officials

India’s Supreme Court has stayed criminal proceedings against former BCCI president Sharad Pawar and five other board officials

Cricinfo staff05-Dec-2008India’s Supreme Court has stayed criminal proceedings against former BCCI president Sharad Pawar and five other board officials. The order concerns a case of perjury – specifically, the production of a false affidavit – filed by Jagmohan Dalmiya.The BCCI decided last month to challenge the Kolkata High Court’s decision to order the initiation of criminal proceedings against the officials. The case is a fallout of Dalmiya’s expulsion from the BCCI.Apart from Pawar, the officials are Shashank Manohar, the BCCI president, Ratnakar Shetty, the chief administrative officer, Niranjan Shah, the former secretary, N Srinivasan, the current secretary, and Chirayu Amin, vice-president. Pawar was the board president when the matter went to court.Dalmiya, a former board president himself, filed a case of perjury against the officials in June 2007 for allegedly producing false documents in court relating to his expulsion in December 2006.The BCCI had filed an affidavit – signed by the six officials – in the High Court stating that the rule under which Dalmiya had been expelled from the BCCI had been registered as required with the Registrar of Societies in Chennai. Dalmiya then filed a case against the six officials alleging that the documents submitted in court were false and were produced with intent to mislead the court.

Taylor wants batsmen to 'front up'

Brendan Taylor: “It’s time for individuals to step up”•Associated Press

Brendan Taylor has called upon his side’s senior players, particularly the batsmen, to “front up” and shoulder the responsibility in the final two matches of the series against India. Though their fielding has hardly been flawless, in all three games so far Zimbabwe’s batting, as a unit, has been the major disappointment.”We’re not trying to complicate things,” Taylor said before a nets session in Bulawayo. “We don’t want to dwell on things too much. We don’t want to put the players under too much pressure, but the fact is that we do need to turn up and put in better results.”Our bowlers haven’t done much wrong. They’ve been in good form and if we’d held our catches they would have had a lot more reward. They’ve been doing the right things. I think the batters need to back them up a little better, and certainly in the field we could be sharper.”Taylor himself hasn’t been blameless in Zimbabwe’s poor showing. With just 35 runs in three innings, he hasn’t given his team the runs they need. As Zimbabwe’s premier batsman and a vital cog in the middle order, totals are built around him and chases rely on his input.Taylor may fancy his chances of finding some form at Queens Sports Club, where he’s second only to Grant Flower in terms of runs scored. In 23 innings at the ground, Taylor has 799 runs at an average of 38.04 with a century and six fifties.”It has always been a very good batting surface and it has been harsh on the bowlers,” Taylor agreed, “but during the winter period, the morning session is crucial and bowlers have to try and capitalise then. You have to be batting at your best to get through that. I don’t want to take anything for granted, but if you do give yourself a good opportunity and give yourself a bit of time out there it certainly does get easier and you can certainly reap the rewards.”Time in the middle isn’t something any of Zimbabwe’s batsmen have had too much of recently. The team spent 10 weeks in a training camp to prepare for India’s visit, with a three-day game against Australia A their only serious match practice. Lack of fixtures is, of course, a perennial problem for Zimbabwe, and Taylor suggested that the current series and visits from Pakistan and Sri Lanka later this year represented vital opportunities for exposure and experience.”That’s something we’ve been crying out for for a long time and fortunately we’ve got India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in a three-four month period, so that’s fantastic,” he said. “But we need to be touring more, we need to be playing a lot more.”We can’t ask for a better period than the one we have right now and we need to make sure that we turn up as individuals and as a team because the world’s watching, and we need to show the world that we’re a good enough side – and we are. But it’s time for individuals to step up. The senior players, the most experienced players, need to front up and make it happen.Despite the 3-0 scoreline, Taylor insisted that getting his troops motivated for the final two matches wouldn’t be a problem. “We know we’re up against a good side and we probably are expected to lose, but we know if we play our best cricket we can win.”We should have won the second one-dayer and we let that slip. We’re very lucky to have the job that we have, so motivation is not an issue. The guys are still working hard and trying to cover all bases pretty well. Tomorrow is just a new day and we’ll be up for it more than ever.”

Hundred was Ashes best – Bell

Ian Bell rated his century his “best Ashes innings” after helping England into a strong position going into the final day at Trent Bridge

George Dobell at Trent Bridge13-Jul-2013Ian Bell rated his century his “best Ashes innings” after helping England into a strong position going into the final day at Trent Bridge.Bell, playing his fifth Ashes series, contributed 109 to help set Australia a target of 311 to win the first Investec Test. While it was Bell’s second successive century in Ashes Tests – he also made one at Sydney in early 2011 – he admitted that the context of this game, coming when his side were under pressure and helping to set-up a match-defining position, rendered it his most valuable and satisfying.His record in Ashes cricket has been modest. Going into this series he averaged 32.36 against Australia in 18 Tests. But, crediting the benefits of recent experiences in subcontinental conditions, he negated a slow, low pitch and an attack generating reverse swing to steer his side from a precarious position to one of some dominance. England were only 66 runs ahead when they lost their fourth wicket but, by the time Bell departed, the lead had been stretched to 306. On a surface on which no Test side has ever scored 300 to win a Test, it was a vital contribution.”Certainly it’s my best Ashes innings,” Bell said. “It was nice to put an innings together when the team needed it most.”The wicket was pretty slow, obviously reverse swing has played a massive part in this game so to use my skills to get us a decent lead on this pitch is very satisfying.”This wicket is quite close to a subcontinent wicket. I’ve played a lot of subcontinent cricket in last 12 or 18 months, so batting in such conditions is something we’ve had to work out.”I was disappointed with my performance in my first Ashes series [in 2005 when Bell averaged only 17.10] when I was a young lad. I always wanted to score as many runs as possible. You want to win Ashes series and be part of successful teams. But it’s not all about individual stuff; it’s about being part of a team.”Clarke praise for Bell

Michael Clarke, the Australia captain, rated Ian Bell’s century “a very important innings” in the context of the Test. “I’ve seen him play some really good innings so I’m not going to say that’s his best,” Clarke said. “But to make a hundred, with the ball reverse swinging, with little bit of spin and it being a hard grind to bat for that amount of time, was very good.”

That team ethic was apparent as England weathered an early storm from Australia’s batsmen to hit back strongly in the final session on day four. Shane Watson and Chris Rogers, feasting on some loose bowling, posted an opening stand of 84 to make deep inroads into their target. Graeme Swann took a long time to settle, delivering several full tosses and short balls, while Steven Finn’s first spell, peppered with short balls outside off stump, was horrible. It necessitated his captain posting a sweeper on the cover boundary which, in turn, led to a gap in the close off-side field that allowed the batsmen to pick of singles with dispiriting ease.Both recovered admirably, though. Finn returned for a much tighter spell, helping sustain the pressure built up by his colleagues and, once Swann had taken his first wicket, in his 23rd over, he settled into a much more penetrative rhythm.It was still a slightly frustrating day for Swann. Playing on his home ground and on such a dry surface, the expectations upon him may have been unrealistically high. Although he found turn, it was often too slow to unduly trouble the batsman and, perhaps in frustration, Swann attempted to force matters and failed to show the requisite patience for such a context. He adapted, though, and produced a beautiful delivery to account for Phil Hughes.The pick of the bowlers, by some distance, was Stuart Broad. Perhaps buoyed with confidence by his performance with the bat, Broad bowled at a sharp pace, generated some reverse swing to account for Shane Watson and maintained a probing line and length that eventually drew a false shot from Michael Clarke. Certainly Broad appeared unaffected by the furore surrounding his decision not to walk on the third day and proved he has fully recovered from the recent blows he has taken to his right shoulder.”Australia played very well when they first came out and we maybe didn’t bowl to the standards we’d like,” Bell admitted.”But we reassessed at tea. We came out with a plan to be very accurate and maybe a little more defensive with field settings. This is the type of wicket that, if two guys get in, then it’s hard to get them out. We wanted to keep the run rate down and create pressure. We got wickets at the end due to really accurate bowling. We’re happy with how patient we were.”Our bowlers have been good at adapting to the conditions. They’re not just guys who run up on green seaming wickets and take wickets. They take wickets in all surfaces. They’ve learned to adapt. That’s why guys like Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad have done so well in the last few years.”I’ve played too much Ashes cricket to take anything for granted. They have two guys at the crease who are dangerous players. We have to get them early in the morning. It is going to be a big first hour for both teams.”

توتنهام يقود صراع إنجليزي على ضم مدافع يوفنتوس

كشفت تقارير صحفية بريطانية، أن نادي توتنهام، يسعى للتعاقد مع الدولي الإنجليزي جيلسون بريمر، لاعب فريق كرة القدم الأول بـ يوفنتوس خلال فترة الانتقالات الصيفية الجارية.

يوفنتوس تعاقد مع قلب الدفاع البرازيلي صاحب الـ26 عامًا في الصيف الماضي قادمًا من تورينو، في صفقة وصلت إلى 41 مليون يورو، متغلبًا على إنتر ميلان، بعقد مستمر لـ 5 سنوات، وراتب خمسة ملايين يورو في الموسم الواحد.

بريمر رغم أنه كان أفضل مدافع في الدوري الإيطالي الموسم قبل الماضي، لكن في الموسم المنصرم، لم يتمكن من تقديم الإضافة الكبيرة في يوفنتوس، وكافح للمشاركة بانتظام بسبب الإصابات والأخطاء التي ارتكبها.

صحيفة “تيليجراف” البريطانية، أكدت أن توتنهام يرى في جيلسون بريمر المدافع الأفضل لتدعيم الخط الخلفي لفريق أنجي بوستيكوجلو المدير الفني الجديد لفريق شمال لندن.

ويرى النادي الإنجليزي أن جيلسون بريمر مناسب لطريقة لعب أنجي، رغم أن هناك اهتمامًا من أندية أخرى مثل مانشستر سيتي وتشيلسي لضم البرازيلي.

في موسمه الأول، شارك جيلسون بريمر خلال 30 مباراة بالدوري الإيطالي مع يوفنتوس، وسجل 4 أهداف وصنع هدفًا.

Relembre momentos marcantes de Alex Muralha, reforço do Coritiba

MatériaMais Notícias

O goleiro Alex Muralha foi emprestado pelo Flamengo ao Coritiba, até o fim deste ano. Aos 29 anos, foi apresentado pelo time do Paraná na última quarta-feira. Com conquistas, convocação para a Seleção Brasileira e falhas nos tempos de Gávea, o LANCE! relembra neste especial momentos marcantes da carreira do jogador.

– O Muralha faz um jogo bom é jogado lá em cima. Faz um jogo ruim, Muralha vira tudo de ruim. Mas com o tempo a gente vai ficando cascudo. Aí as pessoas perguntam como eu aguento tudo isso e eu respondo: ‘essa é a minha vida, é o dom que Deus me deu’. Tem que ter cabeça boa, saber que momento ruim vai passar. E não é qualquer um que chega à seleção brasileira – afirmou o jogador durante a apresentação.

Natural de Três Corações (MG), Alex Muralha é cria das categorias de base do Paraná. Passou depois pelo Olé Brasil, Votoraty, Comercial, Cuiabá, Shonan Bellmare, do Japão e Mirassol, antes de chegar ao Figueirense, em 2014. O time de Santa Catarina foi o primeiro clube de destaque nacional que o goleiro atuou.

Pelo Figueirense, Muralha ganhou o Campeonato Catarinense, terminando o torneio como o goleiro menos vazado. Foi aos poucos se consolidando como titular da posição, chamando a atenção do Flamengo, clube que o contrataria posteriormente.

CHEGADA AO FLAMENGO

Alex Muralha chegou ao Flamengo para a temporada 2016. No início, ficou como reserva do então titular Paulo Victor, conquistando a posição meses após. Na primeira temporada, fez boas atuações e acabou não saindo do time. Repetia, assim, o desempenho que apresentara no Figueirense, sua equipe anterior, fazendo jus ao apelido de “muralha” que ganhou no início da carreira.

SEQUÊNCIA DE TITULAR

Ao fazer jus ao apelido, Alex Muralha figurou com uma sequência entre os titulares do Flamengo em sua primeira temporada pelo clube. Os momentos de insegurança ainda não o atrapalhavam, contribuindo para o desempenho rubro-negro em 2016, o que fez ser convocado no fim do ano pelo técnico Tite para a Seleção Brasileira.

CONVOCAÇÃO PARA A SELEÇÃO BRASILEIRA

Alex Muralha foi convocado pela primeira vez para a Seleção Brasileira em setembro de 2016. O técnico Tite, na oportunidade, o chamou para participar de dois jogos pelas Eliminatórias para a Copa do Mundo da Rússia – diante da Bolívia e da Venezuela. Marcou presença na convocação seguinte também para os jogos das eliminatórias – Brasil enfrentaria a Argentina e o Peru. Em janeiro de 2017 ainda figurou na convocação para o amistoso do Jogo da Amizade, diante da Colômbia.

COMEÇO DA FASE RUIM

A temporada de 2017 foi, sem sombra de dúvidas, a pior da carreira de Alex Muralha. Apesar de o Flamengo ter conquistado o Campeonato Carioca neste ano, o goleiro passou a sofrer com momentos de insegurança que atrapalhariam o planejamento do Rubro-Negro. Atritos junto à imprensa, torcedores e público em um geral passaram a ser registrados.

ERRO ATRÁS DE ERRO

Na fase de grupos da Conmebol Libertadores, Alex Muralha cometeria o primeiro erro importante com a camisa do Flamengo. Diante do Atlético-PR, foi encoberto em cabeçada fraca de Thiago Heleno. Pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, diante do Sport, fora de casa, acabou “servindo” Oswaldo para fazer o gol depois de errar uma fácil saída de bola – configurando a dificuldade em dominar a bola.

As falhas de Alex Muralha ainda foram vistas na Copa do Brasil, se equivocando em lances do gol do Santos nas quartas. Diante do Cruzeiro, na partida de volta na fase seguinte, o goleiro pulou no mesmo lado em todos os pênaltis e não defendeu nenhum.

FIM DE PASSAGEM PELA GÁVEA

O fim da passagem de Alex Muralha veio na sequência das falhas, quando cometeu outra – em um jogo contra o Santos, o goleiro resolveu tentar sair driblando contra Ricardo Oliveira e permitiu o gol de empate. Depois, ainda, deixou a bola de Arthur Gomes passar por debaixo para decretar a virada. A paciência dos rubro-negros com o jogador, em um acumulado, chegava ao fim.

NO JAPÃO PARA SAIR DA TURBULÊNCIA

Para sair da turbulência e crise vivenciados nos últimos tempos de Flamengo, Alex Muralha acabou sendo emprestado para o Albirex Niigata, do Japão. Conseguiu respirar novos ares, mas acabou sendo perseguido ainda pelos torcedores rubro-negros pelas falhas que também apresentou em solo japonês.

Estas falhas sequencias que Alex Muralha passou pelo Albirex Niigata fez com que a equipe decidisse em não renovar o seu contrato no fim de 2018, voltando a ficar à disposição do Flamengo, que acabou decidindo por um novo empréstimo nesta temporada.

NOVA VIDA NO CORITIBA

Agora no Coritiba, Muralha espera nova vida, voltando a recuperar uma boa sequência na carreira depois dos momentos polêmicos que passou nos anos anteriores. Na busca de uma reconstrução, o goleiro terá a responsabilidade de ajudar o time paranaense neste 2019. Terá a importante missão de substituir o goleiro Wilson, que passou por uma cirurgia e deve voltar apenas no fim do semestre.

– O Wilson é um grande goleiro, um ídolo do clube. Mas estou aqui para somar, para ajudar o clube de qualquer maneira. Estou disposto a dar minha vida por esse clube. Daqui a pouco ele vai voltar e a gente vai brigar. Sei que ele é um cara diferenciado, faz gol de falta, de pênalti. Quero agradecer à diretoria do Coritiba por me dar essa oportunidade. Tive momento ruim no Flamengo e, para mim, já passou. Estamos em 2019. Vim para cá para jogar meu futebol. Minha ida para o Japão foi boa para sair daquela turbulência. Estava afetando minha família – finalizou.
