Rahul Dravid has said the strategic field placements Ricky Ponting used were not a surprise – the Australians had adopted a similar “semi-defensive” approach in 2004. If India were expecting a choking strategy, though, they didn’t seem to have planned a counter to it and, Dravid apart, the middle-order batsmen were stifled by fielders who cut off their comfort zones.Sachin Tendulkar seemed to have seen the trap set for him, yet got caught in it. VVS Laxman remained on zero for 11 balls, after his areas of choice were blocked off, and was dismissed off the 12th. Ponting said they had plans for the Indian batsmen but even he might have been surprised at the speed with which they worked.The Indian openers had scored at a brisk pace on the second evening but, with the bounce getting more unpredictable on the third morning, that passage of play was the exception rather than the norm while the middle order was batting.Out of the corners of his eyes Sachin Tendulkar could see fielders at short cover, short midwicket and square leg while facing Brett Lee. Against Mitchell Johnson, whose initial plan was to slant the ball across the right-handers to make the batsmen drive, Tendulkar had a packed off side – two slips, a gully, point and short cover. He beat that field twice – once with a glorious cover drive, then with an edgy push which flew wide of gully – but was susceptible to Johnson’s subtle changes of pace. The first spooned drive against the slower ball fell tantalizingly short of Cameron White at short cover. A few balls later Tendulkar hit it straight into his hands.Dravid, Laxman and Mahendra Singh Dhoni found their leg-side options cut off. Two fielders stood a few feet apart at silly mid-on and short midwicket and they were backed up by a conventional mid-on. The close men prevented singles that would result from driving the ball either side of mid-on; the deeper fielder stopped shots which were driven firmly between the two close fielders. There was a man at square leg as well.”On wickets like this, with the kind of attack they have, we expected them to set fields like that,” Dravid said. “Semi-defensive fields with sweepers and more men on the leg side, looking to bowl wicket to wicket. Some days, on wickets like this, it might work. On other days you might have to look at other fields.”But Ponting didn’t have to look at other fields for most of today. Laxman fended feebly and nicked Johnson to Haddin, while Dhoni tried to force a straight ball from Michael Clarke and lost his off stump. They were unable to force the Australians into changing their plans and failed to take heed from the vigilant approach which brought Ponting, Michael Hussey and Simon Katich their runs on the second day.

Only Dravid found a method to beat the suffocation. He called upon his ample supply of patience and countered the low bounce by moving decisively on to the front foot. He did not necessarily force Ponting to change his field; instead, he worked around it. Gaps in the infield were hard to pierce so Dravid waited for the ball that was too straight and played it towards long leg, and when it was wide, he scored in the region behind point. Dravid scored 43 out of his 51 runs behind square.”They [Australia’s bowlers] tended to bowl a lot straighter so obviously the tendency is to drift down leg side,” Dravid said. “The opportunities to score runs are on that side.”Unlike several of his team-mates, his dismissal was not a result of a rash shot. Dravid later said the pitch was the kind on which “you couldn’t trust the bounce” and because of the reverse-swing “you never felt like you were in even if after batting for a long period of time”. Moments after reaching his half-century, he was beaten by Shane Watson’s inswing and got struck on the pad with the bat extremely close to ball. The decision might have gone his way on another day.The most refreshing innings of the day, however, came from the carefree bat of Australia’s nemesis – Harbhajan Singh. Not shackled by the burden of playing responsible shots – a weight carried by top-order batsmen – Harbhajan opened out in the company of Zaheer Khan. It was not all slogging though for he played several deliveries with caution. However, his determination to hit hard and over the top when he could, forced the Australians to do something they hadn’t needed to all day – change their field. It only needed a little spunk.

Tottenham Hotspur could end deadline day with a bang if they manage to seal a move for mooted target Adama Traore…

What’s the word?

Earlier in the day, Football Insider reported that super-agent Jorge Mendes was playing a huge role in trying to bring the Spanish winger to north London before tonight’s 11pm deadline.

It’s thought that negotiations over various types of structured deals have taken place after Wolves rebuffed a loan bid from Spurs, though they are willing to listen to further offers.

Since then, football.london’s Alasdair Gold has played down their chances of getting it over the line in time.

“Wolves are standing firm at the moment. Spurs aren’t currently hopeful of anything happening for him today. Perhaps it’s one to look at again in the future as Nuno [Santo] and [Fabio] Paratici do love him,” he revealed in a Q&A with supporters.

It’s thought that the Midlands outfit value him in the region of £40m.

Get it done!

If Spurs can complete a move for Traore before 11pm, then it would be one hell of a way to end the transfer window.

Nuno does have plenty of options in the wide department but perhaps not enough on the right-hand side of midfield, where the Spanish winger has been a regular threat for Wolves, both now and under the Portuguese in recent times.

Last season, no player in the entire top-flight managed as many dribbles per game (4.1) as Traore, whilst he was fouled a whopping 2.3 times per match (third-highest in the division).

It’s no wonder Jurgen Klopp once lauded him as “unplayable” after his Liverpool side had to combat his explosive pace and physicality.

Similarly, BT Sport pundit Rio Ferdinand has previously described the 5 foot 10 winger as a “machine,” adding: “He’s powerful and quick and this season he has been scaring defenders. You see teams now trying to double up against him because of the threat he possesses.”

None of Spurs’ current wide options have matched Traore’s dribbling ability so far this season – for example, Nuno’s current first-choice on the right, Steven Bergwijn, has averaged only 1.3 dribbles per game, via WhoScored.

He would be a clear upgrade, as evident above, and one who would surely leave the fanbase excited. If Spurs want to end the window with a bang, then Paratici and co must look to sanction this move.

Neste sábado, Real Madrid e Juventus encerraram mais uma edição da Liga dos Campeões. Como de costume, a equipe espanhola levou a melhor e goleou a Velha Senhora por 4 a 1 no Estádio Nacional de Gales. Dessa forma o Real Madrid chega ao seu 12º troféu da competição, enquanto a Juventus segue com apenas duas taças, sendo a última conquistada em 1996. Decepcionado, o goleiro Buffon chega à sua terceira final com medalha de prata.

– É uma desilusão, porque fizemos tudo que era necessário para jogar a final e vencer. Fizemos um grande primeiro tempo, mas levamos um gol do Real Madrid e depois acabamos vendo episódios que não vão te deixar bem. Mas a verdade é que vencer essa competição é um momento difícil e você tem que encarar as adversidades – afirmou o goleiro.

A partida foi marcada por falhas da Juventus e pressão do adversário durante o segundo tempo e os deslises do time foram cruciais para que o Real Madrid não só virasse, como goleasse o time comandado por Massimiliano Allegri. Sem chances, o goleiro Buffon levou a pior mais três vezes após o empate dos italianos.

– Tentamos jogar bem no primeiro tempo para não dar grande vantagem ao Real. Mas não conseguimos concretizar as chances criadas em vantagem. Já no segundo tempo a força, classe e atitude do Real foi vista e eles acabaram vencendo – finalizou o arqueiro.

Após sua segunda conquista da taça em 1996, a Juventus chega à final da Liga dos Campeões pela quinta vez e fica apenas com a medalha de prata. Nos anos 1997, 1998, 2003, 2015 e 2017 a equipe conseguiu ficar entre os finalistas, mas não levou para casa o troféu de campeã.

Depois de fazer o gesto de “banana” para um torcedor do Flamengo no Estádio da Ressacada, no domingo, o presidente Eduardo Bandeira de Mello pediu desculpas nesta segunda. O dirigente ficou irritado com um rubro-negro que estava com faixas contra a diretoria e Rodrigo Caetano, diretor de futebol do clube.

– Eu sou, antes de tudo, torcedor do Flamengo e, em 2019, vou voltar para a arquibancada. Jamais daria uma banana para a torcida. Um torcedor estava portando uma faixa chamando o Caetano de 171, aí eu fiz um sinal negativo para ele. Ele me ofendeu, e aí eu, realmente, tive uma reação que não deveria, devia evitar. Às vezes, o sangue sobe. A torcida continuou me tratando bem, imagino que ninguém, além daquela pessoa, tenha se sentido ofendido. Se alguém ficou ofendido, ou não tenha gostado, peço minhas sinceras desculpas. A minha origem de arquibancada deve me fazer pisar na bola desse jeito – disse o presidente do Flamengo explicando o caso.

Bandeira de Mello também pediu para a torcida apoiar o time mesmo que a fase não seja tão boa.

– Na hora que o time vai mal, é quando mais precisamos da torcida. Ninguém tem o que o Flamengo tem. Se temos o melhor patrocínio e o melhor contrato de televisão, é porque temos a melhor e maior torcida. Numa hora que estamos precisando muito, que o time não está bem. É quando mais precisamos deles, queria fazer esse pedido – comentou.

Por fim, o presidente do Flamengo falou sobre um vídeo na Internet, onde um torcedor ameaça fazer baderna na Ilha do Urubu, caso o time não vença a Ponte Preta, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h.

– Só posso classificar como irrefletida, pois é irresponsável. Com algazarra e arruaça querendo prejudicar o Flamengo. É a casa do Flamengo, para a torcida ficar à vontade e ajudar o time. Eu ouvi falar sobre isso e espero que tenha sido um momento sem reflexão e que nenhum rubro-negro autêntico pense nisso – disse o mandatário.

Barbados, Leeward Islands and hosts Guyana managed wins in the opening round of matches in the WICB Cup

Cricinfo staff14-Nov-2008A century from Austin Richards set up an emphatic 184-run victory for Leeward Islands over Canada at the Everest Cricket Club Ground in Guyana. Leewards were put in by Canada and Richards joined with his captain Runako Morton in a 174-run second-wicket partnership before combing with Omari Banks later on. Banks finished unbeaten on 75 and hit eight fours and three sixes, while Richards was bowled by Karun Jethi for a whirlwind 141 from 113 balls, comprising 14 fours and five sixes. Canada never looked in control during the chase and apart from Qaiser Ali (52) and captain Sunil Dhaniram (44) there were no other innings of note. Canada were restricted to 183 for 7 off 50 overs – falling one run short of denying the Leewards an extra bonus point.Ryan Hinds’ all-round show helped Barbados beat defending champions Jamaica by 21 runs at the Bourda. Dwayne Smith top scored with 64 from 47 balls and together with Hinds (56) took Barbados to 249 in the 50 overs. Pedro Collins and Hinds then picked up three wickets apiece to hand Barbados four points. Barbados captain Jason Haynes, electing to bat, put on 70 runs with Hinds for the first wicket before Lorenzo Ingram dismissed him for 30. Hinds struck seven fours and one six in his 88-ball innings, but it was Smith’s lusty hitting, which included five fours and three sixes, that took Barbados near 250 after they were wobbling at 189 for 5. Jamaica suffered an early blow during the reply, when Brenton Parchment was adjudged lbw to Collins for a duck in the third over, but Horace Miller and David Bernard put on 66 for the second wicket to put them back on track. But Hinds removed them both and Danza Hyatt was run out soon after. Captain Tamar Lambert looked to resurrect the innings but the steady fall of wickets meant an uphill struggle as Jamaica were bowled out for 228.A superb century from Romel Currency was not enough to hand Combined Campuses and Colleges a win over Guyana at the Providence Stadium, as the hosts won by four wickets. After his captain chose to bat, Currency put on 55 with Ramnarine Chattergoon for the opening wicket. But Combined Campuses and Colleges were soon reduced to 58 for 3 as captain Simon Jackson and Floyd Reifer fell in quick succession. But Currency’s 133-run fourth-wicket stand with Kurt Wilkinson, who contributed a solid 76 from 98 balls, took the score to 250. Currency hit six fours and a six as he finished on 102. The early fall of Rajindra Chandrika’s wicket during the chase did not deter Chris Barnwell and Narsingh Deonarine as they put on 112 runs for the second wicket. Deonarine made full use of the friendly batting pitch to hit an attractive 67, bringing up his fifty off 46 balls. Barnwell provided able support with 51. But even after he was caught by Chattergoon off Kavesh Kantasingh, Assad Fudadin stroked an unbeaten 57 to seal the win for Guyana with nine deliveries to spare.

Sheffield United have confirmed Robin Olsen’s arrival at Bramall Lane.

What’s the latest?

In a statement posted on the Sheffield United website, the Blades revealed that the AS Roma goalkeeper had completed his switch to the Championship side, with the 31-year-old linking up with Slavisa Jokanovic’s side on a season-long loan deal.

The statement went on to claim that, following Aaron Ramsdale’s move to Arsenal earlier this summer, United have filled the 23-year-old’s gloves with an established international ‘keeper in the form of Olsen.

Jokanovic will be buzzing

While losing the services of Ramsdale will have undoubtedly come as a blow to Jokanovic, who himself claimed that he had no intention of parting with the England international this summer, the fact that the club have managed to replace the departed shot-stopper with a ‘keeper as talented as Olsen is sure to have left the 53-year-old manager buzzing.

Indeed, the £14k-per-week man highly impressed over his seven Premier League appearances while on loan at Everton last season, keeping two clean sheets, as well as conceding an average of just 1.3 goals and making three saves per game.

These returns saw the man Alexander Isak dubbed an “incredible” goalkeeper earn a seasonal SofaScore match rating of 6.87, ranking him as the Toffees’ 12th-best performer in the top flight.

The £2.7m-rated Olsen also impressed over his four appearances for Sweden at Euro 2020 this summer, keeping two clean sheets and making an average of 2.8 saves per match for his country – seeing him earn an average SofaScore match rating of 7.05.

As such, the addition of the 48-cap shot-stopper certainly looks to be something of a coup for Sheffield United, with his last-minute arrival undoubtedly providing Jokanovic with a substantial boost at a time the Serbian manager desperately needs one – with his side currently sitting in 23rd place in the Championship standings.

England’s cricketers will not be forced to return to India for the two-Test series between the two countries, Hugh Morris, the ECB’s managing director for England cricket, said as the squad arrived back in London

England’s cricketers will not be forced to return to India for the two-Test series, Hugh Morris, the ECB’s managing director for England cricket, said as the squad arrived back in London on Saturday evening.In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, Morris said the England team was committed to returning to India if it was “safe and secure” to do so. A decision on the fate of the series could be made in two days’ time with Morris adding that the latest safety briefing would be compiled over the next 48 hours. He admitted they were working to a “very short timescale” with the first Test still scheduled to start in Ahmedabad on December 11.”I don’t think we’d force anybody to do anything,” Morris told reporters at Heathrow Airport. “We’ve returned to assess the safety and security situation in India [and] the remainder of the tour of India. We have a team of people that we rely on for our safety and security information. They’re pulling that information together over the next 24 to 48 hours and, clearly, we’ll assess that information when we have it.”Clearly, we are committed to going back and playing in a Test series if it is safe to do so,” he said. “Would I go back? If it was safe and secure, absolutely.”Even as Morris was facing the media, though, rumours were circulating that some players had already made up their minds. A report in the Sunday Telegraph claimed that Steve Harmison and Andrew Flintoff were set to announce they would not return for the Tests because of pressure from their families, as well as another unnamed bowler, believed to be James Anderson, whose wife is pregnant.The one warm-up match is due to start on Friday, meaning England realistically have to be flying back to India by Wednesday at the latest if they want to make that fixture. An option to give extra breathing space and allow a few more days to assess the situation in India would be to prepare in either Dubai or Abu Dhabi. “That’s an option we are actively looking at but the information we get in the next 48 hours will determine the programme leading into the first Test,” Morris said.Despite assurances that England would return if it was safe, Morris did add that there was unease within the England camp having watched graphic footage of the developments on TV. The team had stayed at one of the affected hotels, the Taj Mahal, at the start of the tour and were due there again on December 16.”Everybody has been affected by the terrible goings-on in Mumbai,” Morris said. “It has affected the players as much as anybody. There’s a degree of nervousness, there’s no doubt about that. That’s only natural. It’s affected everybody.”His thoughts were echoed by Kevin Pietersen, writing in his column. “I’m still shaking from the terrorist atrocities in Mumbai,” he said. “We were 800 miles from the attack, but suddenly we felt very vulnerable, especially as we had stayed at the targeted Taj Mahal Hotel just two weeks ago.”But Pietersen said he would return for the Tests if the team’s security advisor Reg Dickason gave the go-ahead. “He [Dickason] has been around the block and I trust his judgement 100%. If he says it is safe to go back to India for the first Test in 11 days, then you can count me in.”The BCCI shifted the second Test from Mumbai to the southern city of Chennai; the game is scheduled to be played from December 19 to 23.
