Narsingh Deonarine’s recall to the West Indies Test team to face Australia is a temporary solution to the absence of Marlon Samuels and has arrived despite continued reservations about his fitness, the coach Ottis Gibson has candidly admitted.Deonarine acquitted himself well as a batsman in Australia in 2009-10, but after Gibson’s 2010 appointment the left-hander was not offered a WICB contract due to poor fitness results. He has undergone a fresh round of testing ahead of the first Test of this series at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, and Gibson stated that Deonarine had to show visible improvement over the next three weeks.”Partly but not entirely. I can only be honest,” Gibson said when asked whether Deonarine had reached the fitness benchmark set for him. “He’s someone that we need right now, we’re not able to have Marlon [Samuels] in the team at the moment because Marlon’s gone to the IPL as well and he’s a like for like replacement for Marlon, he bowls a little bit of off spin and he bats at six, he’s been the leading batsman in the regional tournament just now, and that’s the role that he will play.”With regard to his fitness, it’s just an ongoing process for him, one that he has to keep on top of because I’m sure he has seen how the fitness of the team itself has improved significantly in the last 12 months. He will know that eventually if he doesn’t make the necessary adjustments to his fitness that the team will move on, as all great teams do, without him.”I’m sure he will meet those requirements because he’s desperate to play cricket. I had a chat with him yesterday and he desperately wants to be here and do his thing and he had some fitness assessments yesterday, we will know the results of them later on and stuff, so hopefully if the message didn’t get through in the first instance, hopefully it will get through the second time around.”Australian observers were surprised when Deonarine was discarded due to doubts about his ability to bat for long periods, after a couple of limpet-like displays against Australia in Perth during a series where the 2-0 margin arguably flattered the hosts. Gibson pointed out that Deonarine’s strong results in this season’s Caribbean regional competition were compelling enough to earn a recall, but had been achieved without the hundreds he expects of his batsmen.”His quality as a batsman has never been the concern,” Gibson said. “It’s whether he’s able to bat a day and a half, whether he’s able to bat the four hours that is required at international level to make a Test hundred. His results will show he’s made a lot of runs this year but he hasn’t made a first-class hundred.”At the same time he’s been putting runs on the board and in a series where not a lot of batsmen put runs on the board it is hard to ignore his runs. I add to that the fact we can’t have Marlon at the moment, so he fills the role that Marlon was playing.”Another batsman facing high expectations against Australia will be the gifted Darren Bravo, who has shown the potential to be the best West Indian batsman of his generation but had a halting introduction to Australian opposition in the ODI matches, losing his place. Gibson said Bravo needed to clear his head and believe in his methods, ignoring the visitors’ efforts to corral him.”He just needs to be himself,” Gibson said. “I think sometimes one-day cricket lends itself to you having to go out in circumstances and play shots and maybe up the scoring rate or whatever’s the case or consolidate when you’ve just lost a couple of wickets and stuff like that. Test cricket’s very different, he goes out every day and starts over, [he should] just be himself and bat the way he batted, especially in India.”He made a brilliant hundred in Bangladesh, but in India he was outstanding, and the Indians, from some of the fields that they set for him, it was clear they had obvious plans for him as well and he scored two Test hundreds. So he is somebody that we have a lot of confidence and belief in and somebody that will take us forward over the next couple of years.”We’re not worried about his form, we know what he’s capable of and he tends to rise to the big occasion as well, so we’re looking forward to seeing him bat over the next couple of weeks.”

Playing on uncovered pitches and incentivising wins by tweaking the Ranji Trophy points system were some of the ideas proposed at a BCCI conclave for domestic captains and coaches

Nagraj Gollapudi22-Mar-2012

Playing on uncovered pitches, incentivising wins by tweaking the Ranji Trophy points system, scheduling Ranji knockouts at neutral venues, increasing the number of rest days between games, increasing the number of bouncers allowed per over in first-class cricket; these were all ideas proposed at a BCCI conclave for domestic captains and coaches, in Mumbai.With team officials from nearly 27 states in attendance, the meeting was chaired by BCCI president N Srinivasan along with Sanjay Jagdale and Ratnakar Shetty, the board secretary and chief-administrative officer respectively. The conclave, a concept that had been discontinued a few years ago, made a resounding comeback according to some participants, who said there had been fruitful discussions.One of most important discussions in this year’s conclave concerned the revamping of the points system in the Ranji Trophy. WV Raman, the former India opener and current Bengal coach, suggested there was a need to encourage teams to win games outright. Under the current points system, once a team takes the first-innings lead they sit back, he said. “My suggestion was if a team gets a first-innings lead then give them the impetus to go for an outright win by allowing them to retain the three points even if they lose the game. The team that wins will get four points.”According to the existing rules, a team that takes a first-innings lead gets three points if the match ends in a draw, with the opponent getting one point. An outright win is worth five points with an additional bonus point available for an innings victory or ten-wicket win. According to Raman’s formula, a team would secure three points once they took a first-innings lead, regardless of the result, and would then chase a further four points for a win.”It will give the teams the drive to challenge the opponents and make sporting declarations,” Raman said.The other topic which saw animated discussion was that of uncovered pitches. Bishan Singh Bedi, the former India captain and current Jammu & Kashmir coach, said playing on uncovered pitches would toughen up domestic batsmen and simultaneously negate home advantage in matches. The idea met some opposition, particularly, according to Hyderabad coach Sunil Joshi, from the batsmen and coaches at the conclave.”In domestic cricket the quality of bowling is bad while the batsmen continue to bat on for days,” Bedi said. “The uncovered pitches will give the bowlers some encouragement.”According to Joshi, a better idea would be to use uncovered pitches at the Under-19 and Under-22 levels. “That would allow the youngsters to negotiate variable bounce, moisture, dew and a variety of other factors. It could be a good learning experience not only for the youngsters but also for the coaches,” Joshi said.During the BCCI’s technical committee meeting last month, Sourav Ganguly and his nine-member panel had struck down the suggestion of playing Ranji matches at neutral venues, an idea that had come out of the BCCI working committee meeting. The technical committee had recommended carrying on with the existing home-and-away format during the league phase.One advantage of neutral venues would be that sides like Tamil Nadu could avoid playing in Chennai, where several matches are affected by rain•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

During the conclave, many coaches and captains supported the idea of knockout matches being played at neutral grounds, saying it would guard against any bias a home-team curator might have while preparing a pitch. However, Raman pointed out that the home team lost in both semi-finals and the final this Ranji season. “So you can’t take it for granted that the home side will tweak things in their favour,” Raman said. Also, Raman said, the fact that BCCI grounds and pitches committee officials were present to overlook pitch preparations during the knockout phase was a good enough assurance that tracks would be fair to both sides.Raman also suggested at the conclave that fast bowlers be allowed to bowl three bouncers in an over in first-class cricket. “It would give the fast bowlers an added weapon and also help batsman counter short-pitch bowling,” Raman said. It was an extension, Raman said, of the technical committee’s decision to allow two bouncers in an over during domestic one-day tournaments.There was also a unanimous opinion among the captains and coaches that a four-day break between matches during the Ranji season was needed as opposed to the prevailing three-day breaks.Ganguly’s committee had suggested that Kookaburra balls continue being used during the Duleep Trophy. That idea did not find favour at the conclave, as members suggested playing with SG Test balls would be better. “What is the point of playing with a Kookaburra ball when the domestic players play the Ranji season with SG balls,” Joshi said. “Also, in the next 18 months India will be playing only at home so it would be much better to use SG during the Duleep Trophy too.”Kookaburra balls are used for the domestic 50-over and 20-over competitions, and it was recommended that teams be given more balls to practise with, well in advance of the tournaments. “Normally we are given a few Kookaburra balls two days before the tournament. How do you expect the bowlers to get used to it?” one of the coaches said. Another idea discussed was the introduction of a league phase in the Duleep and Deodhar Trophy.Joshi and Hrishikesh Kanitkar, the captain of Rajasthan, winners of the last two Ranji Trophies, proposed the idea of having just one group in both Elite and Plate divisions, increasing the number of games each team would play in the league phase, and thus giving them more chances to qualify for the knockouts. “So you play about 14 matches in the Elite division, and 11 in Plate. Then you could have the top four or the top two from each group progress to the quarterfinals or the semi-finals,” Joshi said.That idea, though, was in contradiction to the agreed-upon notion that players needed more rest. “On the one hand people wanted the rest period increased, but at the same time they were requesting more cricket in an already packed calendar,” one of the captains who attended the meeting said.Edited by Dustin Silgardo

Internet rumours that suggested Chris Cairns had been involved in match-fixing during his time with the Indian Cricket League had made him “barking” angry, according to his advisor Andrew Fitch-Holland, who gave evidence on the third day of Cairns’ libel

Alan Gardner at the Royal Courts of Justice07-Mar-2012

Internet rumours that suggested Chris Cairns had been involved in match-fixing during his time with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) had made him “barking” angry, according to his advisor Andrew Fitch-Holland, who gave evidence on the third day of Cairns’ libel action against Lalit Modi.Cairns is suing Modi for defamation over a 2010 tweet that implicated him in corruption. He has vigorously denied claims of fixing. Cairns, the retired New Zealand international, captained Chandigarh Lions in the ICL for three seasons before having his contract cancelled, officially for failing to disclose an injury.Following the meeting with ICL officials in 2008 that led to his dismissal, Cairns became aware of online gossip linking his departure with match-fixing. The rumours had appeared on a “plethora of fan-based websites across the world,” Fitch-Holland said.Although Cairns was concerned about this, Fitch-Holland said he advised that he “did not think it was a good idea to call out the big guns” at that time.”It would have been a disproportionate response to low-level, unspecified tittle-tattle,” he said. However, he contrasted this with the allegations made in Modi’s tweet.”There is a massive difference between that and your client saying it,” Fitch-Holland said, in response to questioning from Ronald Thwaites QC, representing Modi. Fitch-Holland added that he had spoken to major media outlets in the UK during late 2008 to reiterate that Cairns had been sacked by the ICL over an ankle injury.The court also heard from Cairns’ wife, Mel. Describing the moment she asked Cairns if he had been involved in fixing, she said it was “the most horrible question I have ever had to ask”. Cairns had replied “absolutely not”, she said. There were tears in her eyes as she answered Thwaites’ question as to whether she believed him.”When something is said, over and over, accusing the man that you love of something … Of course I want to believe him and I do believe him,” she said.Fitch-Holland was the last witness to appear for Cairns. Later on Wednesday the court will hear evidence from Howard Beer, the former ICL anti-corruption officer, who is appearing on behalf of Modi.

علق وائل جمعة مدافع الأهلي السابق، على هزيمة المارد الأحمر أمام الهلال السوداني، اليوم السبت، في بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا، موجهًا انتقادًا عنيفًا لـ محمد الشناوي حارس المرمى.

والتقى الفريقان على أرضية ملعب استاد الجوهرة الزرقاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة الثانية، وفاز الهلال بهدف نظيف. هدف فوز الهلال السوداني على الأهلي بدوري أبطال إفريقيا

وقال وائل جمعة في تصريحات عبر قناة “بي إن سبورت”: “الشوط الثاني الأهلي لم يكن موجود تمامًا لا دفاع ولا هجوم، غياب ذهني تام، وتوقعت رد فعل بعد إهدار الهلال لركلة جزاء، ولكن هذا لم يحدث”.

وتابع: “أسباب الهزيمة واضحة ومعروفة، أولًا توقيت المباراة الساعة 3 عصرًا ونحن في مصر نلعب كل المواجهات بعد المغرب، اللقاء في هذا الطقس صعب، ثانيًا أن الفريق في خلال 10 أيام لعب 4 مباريات قوية في كأس العالم للأندية، والفريق استنزف بدنيًا”.

وأضاف: “لا أعطي أعذارًا واللاعبون يتحملون المسؤولية، لأنهم يلعبون باسم الأهلي وليس ناديًا صغيرًا، ومطلوب منهم دائمًا الفوز وحصد بطولات بشكل متواصل، لكن اليوم كان هناك لاعبين خارج التركيز تمامًا”.

وواصل: “الهدف الذي دخل مرمى الشناوي (عيب جدًا)، فهو الحارس الأساسي لمنتخب مصر، حتى لو كانت آشعة الشمس في وجهك، لا يصح أيضًا أن يكون رد فعلك هكذا بعد اللقاء وانفعالك الشديد لأنك قائد الفريق حتى لو كان هناك جانب من الاستفزاز”.

واردف: “هناك لاعبون لعبوا 10 دقائق واختفوا طوال اللقاء مثل طاهر وحسين الشحات، لم أشعر بهما في الجانب الهجومي تمامًا، وعلي معلول كان مختفيًا”.

واختتم: “الشيء الإيجابي الوحيد في مباراة اليوم هو مشاركة قندوسي، وأرى أنه لاعب جيد وسيكون إضافة للفريق، ولكن بشرط أن يتم توظيفه بشكل صحيح من جانب كولر”.

يرغب البرازيلي كاسيميرو في أن يكون اللاعب الذي يفوز بالبطولات مع فريقه مانشستر يونايتد، رغم صعوبة المنافسة في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز كما قال.

كاسيميرو انتقل إلى مانشستر يونايتد في صيف 2022، بعد مسيرة رائعة مع ريال مدريد فاز خلالها بلقب بدوري أبطال أوروبا في خمس مرات، وثلاثة ألقاب في الليجا، وكأس الملك وثلاثة ألقاب لكأس العالم للأندية.

كما أنه كان جزءًا من منتخب البرازيل الذي فاز بكأس كوبا أمريكا عام 2019.

كاسيميرو قد يتوج بلقبه الأول مع مانشستر يونايتد في نهائي كأس كاراباو ضد نيوكاسل، وسيكونون بالتأكيد مصممين على الفوز في ويمبلي يوم الأحد. 

وقال كاسيميرو لموقع مانشستر يونايتد الرسمي: “أريد أن أكون معروفًا هنا كلاعب يفوز بالبطولات”.

مضيفًا: “هذا هو أهم شيء، بغض النظر عما إذا فزنا أم لا، لأننا نعلم أنه من الصعب الفوز بالألقاب، خاصة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، حيث جميع المباريات صعبة”.

وأردف: “لكني أريد الفوز بالألقاب والمباريات الهامة هنا، إنه ليس سهلا، نحن نعرف ذلك، خاصة لأننا نتحدث عن أصعب دوري في العالم، ولكن هذا ما أريد أن أكون معروفًا به”.

وبشأن صعوبة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، أفاد: “حسنًا، بصراحة الأمر مختلف، خاصة بسبب الظروف المختلفة مثل كثافة المباريات هنا”.

وتابع: “لا أحاول التقليل من شأن الدوري الإسباني، لكن المباريات هنا أكثر صعوبة، وهناك عدد أكبر من الانتقالات”.

واستطرد: “في إسبانيا، يفضلون عادة كرة القدم التيكي تاكا كما يسمونها هناك، هنا يوجد المزيد من الانتقالات، والمزيد من الحركات الهجومية”.

وأتم: “كل دوري له صفاته وسماته الخاصة، أعرف أن لكل منافسة سماتها الخاصة وأنا أحترم كلا البطولتين، لكن الشيء الأكثر أهمية هو أن يتكيف اللاعبون بأسرع ما يمكن”.

O Corinthians deve ter um novo desfalque para o jogo contra o Vasco, domingo, pela 16ª rodada do Brasileirão. O atacante Jonathas sentiu um desconforto muscular na coxa direita e teve de ser substituído aos 30 minutos do primeiro tempo do confronto com o Cruzeiro. Ele deve passar por exames nesta quinta-feira para saber se há lesão.

O Corinthians tem sofrido com desfalques nos últimos dias. Contra o Cruzeiro, por exemplo, Pedro Henrique (tendinite na coxa esquerda), Mantuan (lesão na coxa esquerda), Renê Júnior (vai operar o joelho esquerdo e só volta em 2019), Ralf (lesão na panturrilha esquerda), Thiaguinho (dores no ombro) e Roger (entorse no tornozelo esquerdo) não puderam atuar.

Dos desfalques contra o Cruzeiro, Ralf vive a expectativa de voltar a ficar à disposição. O volante tem realizado trabalhos de transição física nos últimos dias e tem chance de ser relacionado para a partida contra o Vasco.

وأضاف: “حالتي النفسية سيئة، أكاد أكون لا أنام، كل يوم أنتظر قرارًا بشأن القيد، من المفترض أنني في ناد كبير ولا بد أن يكون تركيزي داخل الملعب لكي لا أخطئ، ما بالك أنني أنتظر قرارًا فقط من أجل أن أشارك”.

وأوضح: “المفترض أنني كنت معارًا من نادي الزمالك، وعندما أعود طبيعي أكون مقيدًا في الفريق، من المفترض أن يكون موقفي مختلفًا عن الصفقات”.

وأكمل: “وكيلي تواصل مع مسؤولي النادي ولكن الأمور ليست واضحة، ولاعب الكرة (أكل عيشه الملعب)، وأنا عليً ضغوطات كبيرة”.

واختتم: “لا أعرف موقفي، من المفترض أن موقفي غير الصفقات الجديدة، أتمنى أن يتم حل الموضوع سريعًا، سواء أنا أو أحمد بلحاج أو ناصر منسي، جميعنا نفسيتنا سيئة”.
