Pakistan overcame a blistering spell from Ravi Rampaul and some late panic against the impressive Devendra Bishoo to secure the series against West Indies with a three-wicket victory in Barbados. The hosts had collapsed feebly once again, but Pakistan were jolted by Rampaul’s four strikes and needed the calm head of Misbah-ul-Haq, who remained cool as Bishoo threatened to turn the game again.It became a more compelling contest than looked likely during another insipid batting display from West Indies. Then Pakistan again appeared to be cruising at 127 for 4 after a composed stand between Misbah and Hammad Azam. However, Bishoo benefited from some poor umpiring and hot-headed strokes to leave them needing 24 when Wahab Riaz joined Misbah, but there were eventually 29 balls to spare as Wahab launched two sixes in four deliveries to hurry a conclusion.Misbah was roundly criticised for Pakistan’s World Cup semi-final exit against India when his poorly-paced innings proved costly, but in this series he has provided vital ballast in an inexperienced order. Without him here, Pakistan would have lost. This was his third unbeaten score to secure a run chase – although he could have been stumped on 20 if part-time keeper Lendl Simmons had gloved the ball – and showed a technique, and composure, that was lacking among some of his team-mates.Despite the early clatter of wickets the required rate was never an issue for Pakistan, which allowed Misbah to bed in and weather the tough passages while Rampaul was in action. This tour started on the slow, low pitch in St Lucia, where the ball barely got above knee height, but this Kensington Oval surface had far more pace and carry for the quick bowlers who were willing to bend their backs.Ahmed Shehzad, fresh from his hundred three days ago, tried to pull Rampaul’s first delivery and top-edged to a back-tracking Simmons and next delivery Asad Shafiq edged to second slip; suddenly the West Indian fans started to find their voice. Mohammad Hafeez was the next to fall to another top-edged pull, which was well taken by Bishoo, running towards deep square-leg, to leave the visitors 12 for 3.Misbah’s natural game is always to cut out risk and bat time; for Umar Akmal it is the opposite and he took the aggressive route. He struck five boundaries in a 27-ball stay before being undone by a wonderful delivery that bounced and shaved the glove as he tried to sway out of the line.Ravi Rampaul’s four wickets gave West Indies a chance but they didn’t have enough runs•AFP

However, from there West Indies couldn’t force another breakthrough as Misbah continued to be a steadying presence. Azam, in his first ODI innings, showed composure and pulled a free hit from Andre Russell for six. He also did well to leave the crease so swiftly after Asoka de Silva failed to spot a huge inside edge when he gave an lbw decision in Bishoo’s favour – there is no DRS in this series.Shahid Afridi’s batting has disintegrated and, after two boundaries, it was predictable when he attempted a slog over midwicket. Mohammad Salman then showed his inexperience by not running hard when he thought the ball would reach the boundary and was bowled by a flipper that he shouldn’t have been facing. Fortunately for Salman it didn’t cost the match.But while West Indies showed spirit in the field their innings followed a depressingly familiar pattern as they lost 8 for 53 after Simmons and Darren Bravo had formed a solid platform with an 86-run stand. Once they were separated, the innings almost came to a stand-still and soon fell in a heap amid a mixture of prods, pokes and hopeless slogs.Marlon Samuels, who is struggling to adjust back to international cricket, was again culpable in the loss of momentum as he took 35 balls over his 18, while Kirk Edwards laboured until being run out by a direct hit from backward point. Aside from Simmons, and to a lesser extent Darren Bravo, there is precious little confidence in West Indies’ line up and it showed as the innings faded away with Wahab taking two in three balls.Devon Smith’s horror trot against Hafeez’s offspin had continued when he was trapped lbw first ball, the third time in a row he had fallen in such fashion. After reaching fifty from 61 balls Simmons had time to double his score, but drove a fraction too early and offered a low chance to Saeed Ajmal who took it well in his follow through.The onus was on Darren Bravo not to follow a similar path of giving away a useful innings, however, having struggled to increase the tempo, he then played across a full ball from Hafeez as the stall kicked in. Any hopes of pushing past 200 vanished in the space of three balls from Wahab as he had both Darren Sammy and Dwayne Bravo caught at long on. A little bit of sensible batting and this could have been West Indies’ match.

Em jogo movimentado, neste domingo, no Mineirão, o Botafogo até mostrou organização, mas não resistiu a superioridade do Cruzeiro e acabou derrotado por 1 a 0, gol de Dedé.

Na próxima rodada, o Botafogo terá um clássico contra o Fluminense, segunda-feira, no Nilton Santos. Já o Cruzeiro recebe o Sport, no domingo, no Mineirão.

INÍCIO CORRIDO
Os primeiros minutos do jogo mostraram as duas equipes buscando a vitória. Tanto o Cruzeiro, mandante do jogo, quanto o Botafogo, tomaram iniciativa de buscar o gol. Até os 10 minutos, cada equipe teve pelo menos uma chance de gol. O Glorioso conseguia criar mais pressionando a saída de bola, enquanto a Raposa chegava explorando a velocidade de seus homens de ataque.

Aos 19, o Botafogo quase abriu o placar na bola parada. Léo Valencia cobrou falta com muito veneno e quase surpreendeu Fábio, mas a bola beliscou o travessão.

CRUZEIRO PRESSIONA
A partir dos 25 minutos, o Botafogo acabou sofrendo com as boas chegadas do Cruzeiro. A velocidade do quarteto Thiago Neves, Rafinha, Arrascaeta e Sassá deu muito trabalho para a zaga alvinegra. No entanto, ela conseguiu suportar. Foram chegada com chutes de fora da aréa, bola parada, linha de fundo, mas nenhuma muito efetiva.

DEDÉ DECIDE
O segundo tempo foi ainda mais movimentado que o primeiro. As equipes seguiram buscando a vitória e as chances foram aparecendo. O Cruzeiro criou mais oportunidades claras, principalmente após a entrada de Raniel, enquanto o Botafogo tentava encaixar um contra-ataque. Se pelo chão estava difícil, a Raposa tentou pelo alto. Aos 26, Arrascaeta cobrou escanteio na pequena área e Dedé subiu mais que todo mundo para abrir o placar.

SÓ ADMINISTROU
Com a vantagem no placar, Mano Menezes fechou o meio com Bruno Silva e Robinho, que entraram nos lugares de Rafinha e Thiago Neves. No fim, Kieza ainda teve a chance do jogo, mas Fábio fez grande defesa e salvou o Cruzeiro.

Australia’s newly manufactured Twenty20 teams will make extensive raids on West Indies cricket.

Daniel Brettig18-May-2011

Australia’s newly manufactured Twenty20 teams will make extensive raids on West Indies cricket as the only readily available source of international talent for next summer’s expanded Big Bash League.Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo, all unavailable from their national side’s current Test series against Pakistan due to the Indian Premier League, will be the most sought-after players, but others like the stylish young batsman Darren Bravo, speedster Kemar Roach and the captain Darren Sammy will all be wooed by the eight franchises.Such a vast raid on Caribbean playing stocks is sure to add to problems of disunity and disconnection between the players, their union and the West Indies board, who have fought out a long series of public arguments over a myriad of issues.While Gayle (Western Australia), Pollard (South Australia) and Dwayne Bravo (Victoria) all have previous relationships with certain states, they are likely to field plenty of additional offers for their services as administrators come to terms with the fact that marquee names will be in short supply at the time of the competition.During the tournament’s December/January timeslot, West Indies are the only international team not heavily committed to bilateral tours. India has quickly ruled out allowing its touring players to take part in between matches against Australia, while South Africa, Sri Lanka, England, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh and even Zimbabwe have international commitments.England limited-overs players may be available pending the release of the schedule for matches against Pakistan, while the likes of Shahid Afridi and Lasith Malinga should also be accessible. Muttiah Muralitharan has elected to play in New Zealand’s T20 competition rather than returning to Australia.A desire for marketable players has been made all the more intense by the creeping realisation that Australian cricket audiences seem unlikely to warm instantly to the concept of fabricated teams, having been initially drawn to domestic T20 cricket by the combination of a bright new format, cheap ticket prices and the pre-existing traditions of state versus state.Negotiations between Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association over the MOU governing player payments are close to compromise if not complete resolution, and the broad terms of player recruitment have become clear. Free agency will allow players to pick the team of their choice, while a $1 million salary cap will be put in place without a maximum contract stipulation, allowing sides to offer a particularly lucrative deal to players of Gayle’s ilk. Two overseas players will be allowed per team, although it will be possible, as in the IPL, to recruit more imports and rotate them through the XI.The relationship between BBL and state contracts is complex, with one-team states seemingly in a better position to offer two contracts to their most valued players while New South Wales and Victoria will have less to offer their best players due to the presence of two sides. State administrators believe it would be most equitable to open up the BBL recruitment window only after state contracts have been finalised, though the practicalities of such a move are becoming increasingly cramped by a lack of time.

Com um gol na temporada e líder de assistências do Botafogo no ano, Leo Valencia é uma peça controversa. Para boa parte da torcida, o chileno ainda tem um rendimento abaixo do esperado. Para Alberto Valentim, segue em animador cenário desde a chegada do treinador: titular em todos os jogos.

Na última sexta-feira, na entrevista coletiva de antevisão para o clássico contra o Fluminense, a ser realizado na segunda, Valentim foi questionado a respeito de Valencia e, após revelação de conversa particular, elogiou o camisa 10.

– Tive uma conversa com ele para saber como se sentia mais à vontade,e me disse que prefere atuar por fora, enquanto eu tinha pensado dele jogar por dentro (como ocorreu nos primeiros jogos com o treinador). É um jogador importante, que obedece a parte tática. Ele e o Rabello jogaram todas comigo (e Marcinho, não citado) e procura fazer o que a gente pede – falou Valentim, que já teve que contornar uma saída conturbada do gringo durante a primeira final do Carioca, contra o Vasco.

-Não é fácil. Por mais perto que seja próximo temos diferenças. A forma de jogar, a língua. Todos temos que procurar acelerar e a tendência é melhorar. Ele está no caminho certo – completou o comandante.

Ao todo, Valencia, que chegou ao Botafogo no segundo semestre de 2017 para ser o substituto de Montillo, soma 38 jogos pelo clube alvinegro. Ainda tem oscilado, mas sido fundamental, sobretudo, nas bolas paradas.

Contra o Fluminense, às 20h (de Brasília), Valencia, agora amparado a elogios públicos de Valentim, terá uma nova oportunidade diante de seu torcedor, no Nilton Santos, para abastecer a confiança dos alvinegros. O Clássico Vovô será válido pela quinta rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

A escalação do Bahia às 21h para enfrentar o Palmeiras deve ter Zé Rafael. Camisa 10 da equipe tricolor, o meia pode em breve estar do outro lado do duelo, já que o Verdão possui a preferência de compra do meia de 24 anos.

Este acordo funciona da seguinte forma:até o fim do ano que vem, qualquer oferta que o Bahia receber por Zé Rafael, terá de comunicar ao clube alviverde, que decidirá se vai cobri-la, ou não. Isto foi parte da negociação para emprestar Allione até dezembro ao Tricolor de aço.

Como ainda não há nenhum vínculo contratual, o jogador está liberado para atuar nesta noite, tanto que viajou com a delegação para São Paulo. Já o meia argentino e o lateral-direito João Pedro, que estão cedidos pelo Verdão, não foram relacionados.

Zé Rafael atuou nas cinco partidas do Brasileiro até aqui e ainda não fez gol nem deu assistência no campeonato. Semana passada, o meio-campista encerrou um jejum de quase dois meses sem marcar, quando fez um dos gols do Bahia na vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Vasco, pela Copa do Brasil.

Ele não é o único atleta que o Verdão pensa para o futuro. Na semana passada, o clube deixou bem encaminhada a contratação de Arthur Cabral, centroavante do Ceará. Aos 20 anos, o atacante é o artilheiro do Vozão em 2018 com 17 gols – o Palmeiras vai comprar 50% de seus direitos econômicos, por R$ 5 milhões.

Nottinghamshire’s perfect record in the Friends Life t20 came to a soggy end when their clash with Leicestershire was abandoned after a thunderstorm at Grace Road

10-Jun-2011
Scorecard
Nottinghamshire’s perfect record in the Friends Life t20 came to a soggy end when their clash with Leicestershire was abandoned after a thunderstorm at Grace Road.The Outlaws posted 164 for 8 after being put into bat with David Hussey hitting 32 off 16 balls to go past fellow Australian Brad Hodge’s world record total of 3,690 runs in Twenty20 cricket.But with the Foxes at 21 without loss after 2.4 overs of their reply, heavy rain followed by thunder and lightning brought an end to proceedings leaving the teams with one point each.It meant an end to Nottinghamshire’s three-game winning run to start the competition while the Foxes were also robbed of the chance to end their 10-game winless run at Grace Road. The last time the Foxes won a Twenty20 match at home was against Yorkshire in June 2009.With the pitch tinged with green Foxes’ captain Matthew Hoggard put the Outlaws into bat and left-arm seamer Harry Gurney had them rocking with two wickets in his second over. Gurney snared openers Alex Hales and Riki Wessels who both provided catches with top-edged pull shots.Hussey was soon into his stride however and a glorious straight six off Abdul Razzaq took him past Hodge’s record. Hussey then smacked Gurney for three consecutive boundaries and with Hoggard conceding 16 runs in his first over the Outlaws reached 61 for 2 off their six overs of Powerplay.Hussey and fellow Perth-born batsman Adam Voges put on 55 in five overs with the stand ended when Hussey clipped a catch to midwicket off Hoggard. Voges was then run out when Andrew McDonald deflected a straight drive by Samit Patel into the stumps and the Outlaws’ innings gradually ran out of steam.Chris Read and Steven Mullaney provided some late momentum but a superb final two overs from Razzaq, which brought him two wickets for only six runs, pegged the Outlaws to 164 for eight with only 32 runs coming from the last five overs.

Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has questioned India’s approach to handling the fitness of the players and has strongly suggested a review of the entire process

Nagraj Gollapudi26-Jul-2011Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar has questioned India’s approach to handling the fitness of its players and has strongly suggested a review of the entire process. Highlighting the example of Zaheer Khan – who had to pull out of the Lord’s Test after playing barely one session on the first day due to a hamstring injury – Manjrekar said that the Indian think-tank should have known better than rushing Zaheer straight into the first Test of a major series with little practice in English conditions.Zaheer’s previous international match was the World Cup final on April 2, after which he played in the IPL and later skipped India’s tour of the West Indies with an ankle problem.”With Zaheer Khan not going to the West Indies the worry should have been that he was coming into a Test match cold,” Manjrekar told ESPNcricinfo. Though Zaheer bowled 20 overs in the first innings of the three-day match against Somerset, where he finished wicketless, Manjrekar said that it was definitely not enough to be match fit.”Just one tour game, a few overs here and there is not enough. For people to suggest that he would ease into the series and that it takes a while for Zaheer to warm up is not the right way to look at it at all. For the first match of a major series the player has to be ready; fighting fit and raring to go. The first Test is critical.”After Zaheer left the field with an injury, India’s bowlers toiled hard but that was not enough to stop England from piling up big totals in both innings. At the end of the Lord’s Test, MS Dhoni said that India were severely hampered by the absence of a third seamer, a complete contrast to the impact of England’s three-man pace attack on the progression of the game.Sanjay Manjrekar: “With Zaheer Khan not going to the West Indies the worry should have been that he was coming into a Test match cold.”•Associated Press

Dhoni remained sceptical about Zaheer’s availability for the second Test at Trent Bridge. “We have three days but I am not 100% sure if we will play him or not,” Dhoni said. “It is a long series and we don’t want to risk any individual if he is only 90% fit as that only increases the chances of him getting injured further. It is very important to get the guys fully fit.”It is believed that Zaheer does not want to risk aggravating the injury and has expressed reservations in private about playing the second Test which begins on July 29. This is not the first time that Zaheer has broken down during a game.Zaheer did not bowl in the second innings of India’s only warm-up match against Somerset, which had raised some doubts about his match fitness going into the first Test.”What has really come out from what happened to Zaheer is how we (the Indian team) are managing the fitness of the senior players so that they are ready and raring to go in that first Test match,” Manjrekar said. “We cannot have a player using a Test match to get warmed up completely.””What is happening currently with the fitness of major players is that it is left to the individual, the way he wants to tackle his own fitness. I don’t think the Indian physio has a plan for the overworked players. I don’t think there is a sophisticated, well-planned approach. I think it is left to the cricketer himself.”Zaheer perhaps made the mistake. India’s worst nightmare came true on the very first day of the Test series. It is time [Indian cricket] starts looking at it [player injury] a little more seriously and not leave it to the individual to look to assess his own fitness and approach matches the way it is being done at the moment.”
