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.

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

حقق ليفربول فوزًا تاريخيًا بسبعة أهداف نظيفة على نظيره مانشستر يونايتد في المباراة التي جمعت بين الفريقين على ملعب أنفيلد رود ضمن الجولة 26 من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

شوط المباراة الأول هدد مانشستر يونايتد مرمى ليفربول لكن أليسون بيكر تصدى لتسديدة أنتوني ثم راشفورد، قبل أن يلغي الحكم هدفًا لـ كاسيميرو.

في نهاية الشوط سجل كودي جاكبو الهدف الأول في الدقيقة 43 بعد تمريرة روبرتسون، لينتهي الشوط بتقدم أصحاب الأرض.

في الشوط الثاني، بدأ ليفربول مثلما أنهى الشوط الأول، وسجل الهدف الثاني عن طريق داروين نونيز في الدقيقة 47.

في الدقيقة 66 جاء الدور على الملك المصري، ليسجل الهدف الرابع لفريقه، ويعادل رقم روبي فاولر ويصبح الهداف التاريخي لليفربول في الدوري الإنجليزي بصاروخية في مرمى دي خيا.

لم يتوقف ليفربول هنا، وسجل الهدف الخامس عن طريق داروين نونيز مجددًا في الدقيقة 75 برأسية رائعة في مرمى دي خيا.

وبعد 8 دقائق، جاء الملك المصري ليكتب التاريخ بأحرف من ذهب، ويسجل الهدف الثاني له والسادس لفريقه، ويصبح الهداف التاريخي منفردًا لليفربول في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز برصيد 129 هدفًا.

السداسية لم تكن هي التاريخية، بل الهدف السابع الذي جاء عن طريق البديل روبرتو فيرمينو، في الدقيقة 90، ومانشستر يونايتد لا حول له ولا قوة، واشتعال ملعب أنفيلد.

ليلة تاريخية في أنفيلد رود، كتبت أكبر فو في تاريخ الفريقين لصالح ليفربول، ونصبت محمد صلاح ملكًا مجددًا لهدافين الريدز تاريخيًا في الدوري الإنجليزي.

فوز رفع رصيد ليفربول إلى 42 نقطة في المركز الخامس، وتوقف رصيد مانشستر يونايتد عند 49 نقطة في المركز الثالث.

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

Daniel Brettig in Barbados05-Apr-2012

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.”

O Palmeiras venceu pela primeira vez na história a Chapecoense na Arena Condá. Neste domingo, o Verdão conseguiu bater a equipe catarinense por 2 a 1 e encurtou de oito para seis pontos a distância para o São Paulo, líder do Brasileiro depois de 22 rodadas.

Até esse confronto eram seis partidas entre as equipes no estádio, com dois empates e quatro triunfos catarinenses. Hyoran e Borja foram os autores dos gols que quebraram este pequeno tabu palmeirense – Thyere descontou.

O Palmeiras, porém, caiu da quarta para a quinta posição ao fim da rodada 22, por conta do saldo que o Grêmio fez em goleada por 4 a 0 sobre o Botafogo, mas se aproximou do bloco da frente. A Chapecoense está em 18º lugar, dentro da zona de rebaixamento.

Um dia após o outro
Depois da expulsão aos três minutos contra o Cerro Porteño (PAR), Felipe Melo foi novamente titular contra a Chapecoense. Antes do jogo, Felipão contornou o caso e disse ter plena confiança no seu elenco, tanto que mudou seis jogadores em relação à dura partida de quinta-feira.

Felipe desta vez jogou ao lado de Thiago Santos, seu possível substituto na Libertadores. Com o camisa 5, o meio-campista teve mais liberdade para jogar na Arena Condá e foi figura importante na etapa inicial.

Primeiro, cabeceou na trave o escanteio de Hyoran. Depois, cruzou na cabeça do camisa 28, que também mandou na trave, mas venceu Jandrei: 1 a 0. Formado na Chape, o meia teve comemoração contida.

Leandro Pereira, ex-Verdão, teve a melhor chance do time catarinense, também pelo alto. Por conta da chuva em Chapecó, as duas áreas estavam com muita água empoçada, o que prejudicou o nível da partida.

Borjou!
O Palmeiras não demorou a ampliar o placar, no início do segundo tempo. Em uma jogada de força, Borja venceu três marcadores na entrada da área, as poças do gramado e deu um toque sutil quando Jandrei saiu da meta para fazer 2 a 0. Foi o 18º gol do centroavante em 29 partidas na temporada. O colombiano é o artilheiro do Verdão em 2018.

Quando a fase não é boa…
A torcida da Chape não foi em grande número ao estádio, mas os que lá estiveram jogaram sal grosso, rezaram… tudo para tentar ajudar a equipe a deixar a zona de rebaixamento. Com os 2 a 0, a equipe de Guto Ferreira deu um sopro esperança ao público em Chapecó, quando Thyere aproveitou a desatenção palmeirense e descontou, de cabeça.

O lance deu ânimo aos donos da casa, que passaram a incomodar mais. Veio até a chance do empate, mas quando a fase não é boa, Doffo teve a bola do empate, na única chance que a Chapecoense teve livre dentro da área, mas chutou para fora.

Nick Compton has vowed not to waste what he suspects might be his final opportunity to win a place in England’s Test side by becoming sidetracked into another impossible search for perfection.

Nick Compton has vowed not to waste what he suspects might be his final opportunity to win a place in England’s Test side by becoming sidetracked into another impossible search for perfection.Compton’s prolific early-season form for Somerset has won him an England Lions call up against West Indies in Northampton next month and has identified him as the likeliest player to break into a relatively unchanging England top order.For Compton, the grandson of Denis, one of English cricket’s most revered batsmen, it all brings back memories of a successful Lions tour five years ago which turned sour when he was dropped by Middlesex and eventually switched counties to resurrect a faltering career.”I put a huge amount of pressure on myself after coming back from a successful Lions tour and I really wanted to kick on,” Compton has told ESPNcricinfo’s senior correspondent George Dobell in a wide-ranging interview. “Looking back, though, I was far too intense. I was trying to attain perfection, and I’m not sure that exists in cricket. I got into a downward spiral. I wanted it all too badly.”I’m not 21 now. I’ve played a bit. I’m focused on the immediacy of my career. I’m focused on fulfilling my role for Somerset as well as I can. You learn. I’m a calmer person now and I’ve settled on a formula that works for me. If I get caught up in aesthetics it takes me down the wrong path.”I know this might very well be my last chance. And of course I’m excited. I’d love to play for England. I’d bite your arm off. But it’s also a distraction. The disappointment I experienced in the past was devastating and I don’t want to feel like that again.”Read the full interview here

O Avaí sofreu a derrota no clássico contra o Criciúma por 3 a 2 no último sábado, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, da Série B. O Leão chegou ao gol adversário com mais frequência, mas saiu com o revés. Por isso, o técnico Geninho lamentou e cravou que foi superior.

– Fomos superiores na maior parte do tempo. Começamos muito bem, talvez um dos melhores inícios de algum tempo, chegando ao fundo. Tomamos o gol de bola parada de novo e desmontou o time, aí o Criciúma foi superior. Ficamos atabalhoados, espaço na frente da área. Segundo tempo foi completamente nosso, tivemos várias chances de fazer o terceiro e isso nos trouxe a expectativa de ganhar, por isso fiz as mexidas e coloquei o time para frente, pensei em ganhar o jogo, levar três pontos ao invés de um. Acabamos tomando outro gol em bola alçada, o Luan teve uma grande chance no fim – analisou.

O comandante do Leão ainda destacou que na bola parada foi ineficiente, o que pode ter sido um dos fatores que comprometeu o resultado. O zagueiro Sandro, do Tigre, fez um dos gols da partida.

– Faltou de novo atenção na bola parada, fizemos 15 minutos muito bons. Aí teve uma falta, um gol cantado, falamos onde o Sandro iria entrar e aí tomamos gol na bola parada, nosso maior problema, por mais que se treine. Esse gol desmontou e melhorou após a conversa no intervalo, o time teve outra postura, mas infelizmente o futebol é assim. Você cria e não faz, o adversário foi buscar o resultado e você tem que aceitar isso – completou.

O Avaí terá uma semana até o próximo compromisso. No sábado, volta a atuar em casa após dois jogos fora, às 21h, quando encara o Sampaio Corrêa, penúltimo colocado.
