Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said that he is wary about South Africa’s spin threat, and is hoping that his batsmen and spinners can step up to the challenge in the ODIs

Mohammad Isam in Mirpur09-Jul-2015

Bangladesh had to make do with shorter space for their warm-up session ahead of the first ODI against South Africa, as most of the ground was under covers amid leaden skies on Thursday.Soon, the players broke into two teams and played football before heading to the indoor nets of the Shere Bangla National Stadium. They stayed there for the next couple of hours as Dhaka experienced one heavy shower after another.More rain has been forecast for Friday, but that didn’t stop Mashrafe Mortaza from stating what he expects from his team in the first ODI against South Africa.”We have to play well by adjusting to the wicket,” Mashrafe said. “We have to be a step ahead of South Africa in every department. This is how you win against such a team. We had gone into a habit of winning matches since the World Cup. Everyone wants to win and this is our job.”But by focusing on the results too much, we forget the process with which we got the wins. We should go back to the basics, and to the mentality through which we turned things around since the World Cup.”Much of the talk ahead of the ODI series has centered around the pitch, especially after it offered considerable turn in the two T20s. While Mashrafe admitted that there was ‘confusion’ about the pitch, he said that the hosts would be better off if they don’t ponder too much about the wicket.”There is some confusion about the wicket. By that I mean, our batsmen and bowlers have been doing well on true wickets since the World Cup. But we also have think about their pace attack,” he said.”I think it is better not to think too much about the wicket. We have to keep our processes right, whoever is bowling at us. We have handled top bowlers in the recent past. Maybe we haven’t played in such wickets for a while, which is why have struggled a bit.”Bangladesh had struggled to come to terms with spin in the T20s, with left-arm spinner Aaron Phangiso, offspinner JP Duminy and debutant legspinner Eddie Leie taking nine wickets between them. South Africa’s spin attack will be further bolstered by Imran Tahir, who was the leading wicket taker in the World T20 in Bangladesh last year with 12 scalps at 10.91.”Imran Tahir has been bowling well for some time now. South Africa has been using him as a wicket-taking option. We have plans to encounter him although we did struggle against spin in the last two matches,” Mashrafe said.Mashrafe, though, backed Shakib Al Hasan, Arafat Sunny and Jubair Hossain to perform better than their opposite numbers. “If you look at his record, Shakib is one of the best bowlers in the world. Imran Tahir and their other spinners are doing well, and will be confident following the T20 series but I still expect our spinners to be a step above their spinners.”Mashrafe also stressed on the importance of Mahmudullah’s return, after the batsman missed the India series due to injury. “Mahmudullah is a key player who did very well for us at the World Cup,” Mashrafe said. “Unfortunately he got injured, so his return is quite important to us. He hadn’t played in the last month or so due to injury. He will need time to give his best but I am sure he will try the hardest.”

Já com o placar de 4 a 1 sobre o Corinthians, neste domingo, a torcida do Flamengo fez a festa nas arquibancadas do Maracanã. Em meio aos aplausos a Bruno Henrique, Jorge Jesus e companhia, os rubro-negros protestaram contra a Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF), entidade organizadora do Campeonato Brasileiro. Em meio a xingamentos, os torcedores deram o recado: “O Flamengo não precisa de você (CBF)”.

Nas últimas semanas, torcedores do Flamengo vem reclamando bastante da atuação da CBF, devido a polêmicas envolvendo a arbitragem nos jogos do Palmeiras, segundo colocado da competição, concorrente direto do Rubro-Negro na busca do título. Neste jogo contra o Corinthians, o Fla teve um pênalti marcado com muita reclamação dos paulistas, e o árbitro Jean Pierre Gonçalves Lima não foi nenhuma vez fazer consulta ao vídeo.

Com o resultado, o Flamengo chegou a 71 pontos e continua a oito na frente do Palmeiras. O Corinthians, por sua vez, está há oito rodadas sem vencer e permanece em sétimo lugar, com 45 somados. Depois desse duelo, as equipes já pensam no próximo jogo pelo meio de semana. Na quarta-feira, os paulistas encaram o Fortaleza, às 19h30, em Itaquera. Na quinta, os cariocas fazem clássico com o Botafogo, às 20h, no Nilton Santos.

O São Paulo deve ter Pablo novamente à disposição nesta semana. Essa é a expectativa do técnico Fernando Diniz.

– Quanto ao Pablo estou bastante otimista, ele já tem treinado com a gente. Provavelmente ele vai ser opção, não sei ainda se para quinta ou para o fim de semana.Não dá para a gente cravar, mas provavelmente nesta semana ele fique à disposição – disse o comandante, após a vitória por 3 a 0 sobre a Chape, sábado, em Chapecó.

Na quinta-feira, às 19h30, o São Paulo recebe o Fluminense no Morumbi. No domingo, às 16h, encara o Athletico-PR, também em casa.

Pablo sofreu um estiramento na coxa direita durante o empate sem gols com o Bahia e desfalcou o Tricolor nas últimas seis rodadas do Brasileirão. Na última sexta-feira, ele participou de parte do treino com bola no CT da Barra Funda.

O primeiro escolhido para substituí-lo foi Pato, que não conseguiu jogar bem em cinco partidas como centroavante. Diante da Chape, Raniel assumiu a posição e teve atuação satisfatória. Ele é favorito para começar jogando contra o Flu, a não ser que Pablo esteja pronto e Diniz promova seu retorno já como titular.

Essa foi a terceira lesão importante de Pablo na temporada. Ojogador já passou por uma cirurgia para retirar um cisto da lombar e sofreu uma torção grave no tornozelo direito logo na partida em que retornou. Ele desfalcou a equipe em 23 das 30 rodadas do Brasileiro e não tem conseguido deslanchar no Tricolor, embora seja o artilheiro da temporada com sete gols.

Liam Livingstone’s penultimate ball heave for six leaving Lancashire requiring three from the final delivery but he was run out off the last delivery

It was the sort of night where it paid to take it slowly.After an accident on M6 stretched Birmingham’s journey time above six hours – this game started half-an-hour late as a result – the teams found themselves playing this match on a dry, used pitch that rewarded spinners, cutters and bowlers who take pace off the ball.Perhaps it rewarded patience, too. A game that, by T20 standards, dragged for long portions – Birmingham hit only five fours after the first 37 balls of their innings – eventually rose to an exciting conclusion with Liam Livingstone’s penultimate ball heave for six leaving Lancashire requiring three from the final delivery. A mis-hit drive straight to mid-off resulted in a run-out as the batsmen attempted an almost impossible second to secure the tie.Victory, their 12th in 14 completed T20 games, takes Birmingham top of the table, though only three points separate the top four. Lancashire have now lost five of their nine T20 games this season. Only Middlesex and Derbyshire have lost more.But it seems a shame that a high-profile game – these sides were last year’s finalists and this game was televised – should be played on a pitch that did so little to encourage attacking strokeplay.Not that there is not a certain value – and charm – to these low-scoring contests. There will be times, in Asia in particular, when England teams play on such surfaces and the next World T20 is in India. Perhaps such matches offer perfect preparation.But was it the sort of surface to attract new spectators to the game? And isn’t that the point of T20 cricket? After an ODI series drenched in boundaries appeared to have revived interest in the sport, it was hard to avoid the conclusion that this was another own-goal by domestic cricket.It is not necessarily the groundsman’s fault. The huge amount of cricket required from their squares renders it almost inevitable that pitches will be reused and reduces the amount of preparation time for each track. Television coverage might also have been relevant here: cameras set-up for the ODI – played on the same pitch – would not have to have been moved by using the same surface. Perhaps there is something to be said for playing more games at out grounds?Bearing in mind the surface, it was particularly impressive that a young fast bowler should scoop his second Man-of-the-Match award in succession. Like all fast bowlers, 23-year-old Recordo Gordon loves to bowl with pace. But here, realising that such a tactic would be self-defeating, he unveiled a range of cutters and slowers balls – including a particularly good slower ball bouncer – that left batsmen struggling to pick up his length or settle against him. A haul of 4 for 20 was reward for an admirably mature, calm and skilful performance.Gordon also hit the only six of the Birmingham innings. Bearing in mind the margin of victory, it proved an important contribution.Winning the toss helped Birmingham. By the time Lancashire realised what sort of surface they were playing on, Birmingham had plundered 49 from the Powerplay with Brendon McCullum, on debut, thumping three successive boundaries and helping contribute to the highest partnership of the match. Varun Chopra’s 40 and Willaim Porterfield’s 36 were the highest individual scores of the game.But once Lancashire’s three spinners came into play, run-scoring became far more difficult. They delivered 12 of the next 14 overs and Birmingham never again scored more than eight from an over and added only 50 in their final eight overs. Stephen Parry, England’s seemingly forgotten left-arm spinner, was particularly impressive in conceding just 19 from his four overs; reward for his control and his excellent variations.While the target appeared modest, Lancashire rarely looked as if they would overhaul it. Paul Horton was run out after a hesitation, Ashwell Prince carved straight to the fielder and Steven Croft slog-swept to deep backward square. Although James Faulkner, who added 39 with Jordan Clark, looked as if he might power Lancashire to victory, his drive to mid-off made life extremely tough.Birmingham, confidence soaring from their run of success, have become expert at applying pressure in the field, with the young legspinner, Josh Poysden, complementing the reliable Jeetan Patel.Lancashire might reflect that their fielding cost them, by comparison to Birmingham, half-a-dozen runs. It was a fault highlighted by their coach, Ashley Giles, early in the tournament and, while it has improved, it remains some way below the current T20 champions. In games decided by such small margins, it is a crucial factor.

With tweakers having had a giant party in Nagpur, spin was, understandably, the buzz word in the Australia and South Africa camps ahead of their Women’s World T20 clash at the VCA Stadium

Shashank Kishore in Nagpur17-Mar-2016

Nagpur is baking. Nagpur is dry, literally. Water crisis has been prevalent here for a number of years. While it is highly unlikely that water shortage has affected pitch preparation, the surfaces here have been anything but batsmen-friendly in recent times. All of this has amounted to the spinners having a giant party. And so, spin was, understandably, the buzz word in the Australia and South Africa camps ahead of their Women’s World T20 clash at the VCA Stadium, even though the teams trained on match-eve at the old stadium at Civil Lines.Four surfaces with varying levels of dryness, match balls of all kinds – old, new, semi-new and scruffed up – were used by South Africa as the batsmen went through a two-hour drill, mostly against the spinners. The plan was a simple one for all the frontline batsmen – find ways to negotiate spin without getting out.While some concentrated on dead defense in an attempt to play late, others like Mignon du Preez, Marizanne Kapp and Dane Van Niekerk – South Africa’s batting engine room – kept alternating between attack and defense. But it was not lost that they were a lot happier playing late, and from the crease.Match simulation at training is not unusual. Except, this was done on side wickets that may or may not be as close as it gets to the surfaces they will encounter in the tournament. Once the batsmen were happy with the way the shots were coming off, they were set up with another challenge – facing up to spinners who kept bowling from around the stumps on the rough as the batsmen swept, reverse-swept and paddled.”It’s always challenging when you see the ball turn a lot,” du Preez, the South Africa captain, said. “But you need to stick to your own plans and look for options to score. Obviously, if the ball turns a lot, running down the track may not be a good idea. You have to use the depth of the crease, play late and bring out options like the sweep and reverse sweep, they become very valuable. You just need to play smart cricket to adapt as quickly as possible.”Du Peeez was firmly of the opinion that spin would dictate how the match pans out, much like it did in the men’s game between India and New Zealand. She also talked up her spin attack, saying if variety was the key, they had them all in Sune Luus, Dane van Niekerk and Yolandi Fourie.While South Africa stressed on getting their arsenal right for spinner-friendly conditions, Australia seemed to have a completely different set of methods. A session of Aussie rules football helped the team warm-up. But specifics were not the only thing on their minds – understandable considering Australia are coming off an exhaustive summer that included two full series against India and New Zealand. Four days in Chennai and one warm-up, Meg Lanning said, was all Australia needed to gear up for their title defense.Unlike South Africa, whose attention to detail stood out, Lanning insisted that the trick to succeed on these surfaces was to not be bogged down in anticipation of demons that may not always be there. And so, what followed after their warm-up was some clean, fierce ball-striking that could take any pitch out of the equation. Balls flew to all corners of the small ground regularly, which perhaps was also a sign of their approach, come match day.”We have done a lot of work on playing spin as a batting group, and also how effective we can be with the ball. Those center-wicket sessions have been about a number of things,” Lanning said. “There’s no doubt spin is going to play a big part in this World Cup. But we have thought about it a lot, I’m sure we will be ready to play it well with the bat and also use the weapons we’ve got with the ball.”How did they plan to tackle spin, then? “I think every player plays spin differently,” Lanning offered. “It’s about trying to stick to your strengths, I guess. Trying to play as late as you can with the spin, but you have to just put the bad ball away. Each team will have a plan, we’ve got ours and I’ve got mine. (In) some places, it will spin more than others, just got to adapt quickly.”There was an unmistakable glint when Lanning stressed on “her methods.” Surely, the second-fastest centurion in women’s T20Is bats just one way?That Australia have lost four of their last six T20Is was not lost on Lanning, though. “We’re starting even with every other team this World Cup. We don’t get any bonuses for winning the last one. We know we’ve to play a lot of good cricket to get just past the group stage,” she said, before underlining the importance of spin, again, although it seemed the reference was more out of confidence than concern.Only time will tell which of the two methods would yield the best result come match day.

O sucesso de Jorge Jesus no Flamengo já gera repercussão em Portugal, terra natal do treinador, desde o início. Os resultados do time da Gávea têm sido destacados pela imprensa local e, diante deste cenário, o Rubro-Negro tornou-se mais conhecido no país do que o rival Vasco da Gama, cuja história está ligada aos portugueses.

Isso é o aponta a pesquisa feita por Fabiano de Abreu, CEO da MF Press Global, empresa de comunicação com sede nos dois países. O levantamento, que ouviu mais de 500 pessoas de todas regiões de Portugal, também indicou que o Flamengo também é o clube brasileiro com mais simpatizantes em terras lusitanas.

– O número de simpatizantes do Flamengo é quase que 100% dos entrevistados. É incrível como ter o Jorge Jesus, que era treinador do Benfica, maior time português em tamanho da torcida, popularizou o Fla e fez com que o número de simpatizantes fosse quase total. Posso afirmar que o Flamengo é a maior torcida de um time brasileiro em Portugal e tem um número de torcedores e simpatizantes maior que de muitos times de Portugal – afirmou Fabiano de Abreu, CEO da MF Press Global.

Desde a chegada de Jorge Jesus ao Ninho do Urubu, o Canal 11, da TV portuguesa, tem transmitido as partidas do Flamengo, tanto do Campeonato Brasileiro quanto da Copa Libertadores.

A embaixada Fla-Lisboa, fundada em 2007 e hoje conta cerca de 640 torcedores, agradece. Na capital de Portugal, os rubro-negros – brasileiros ou não – costumam se reunir em um bar. Contra o Grêmio, na semifinal da Copa, 800 pessoas acompanharam a goleada por 5 a 0, que garantiu a classificação para a decisão da Libertadores.

The PCB has introduced a revamped domestic one-day tournament, called the Pakistan Cup, to replace the existing Pentangular Cup

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Apr-2016

The PCB has introduced a revamped domestic one-day tournament, called the Pakistan Cup, to replace the existing Pentangular Cup. The tournament will be played between five provincial teams, starting April 19 in Faisalabad.The format will remain the same as the Pentangular Cup, but the process of picking players has been altered – the traditional selection process has been replaced with a draft system. It will allow a pre-announced captain and coaches to pick their 15-man squads from a list of 150 cricketers in 15 rounds. There was no reason given for the selection process being changed.The five teams from the five provinces – Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and a team from Federal Capital of Pakistan – will remain the same. The PCB announced Azhar Ali will lead Balochistan, Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq will lead Federal Capital, Younis Khan will take the reins of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Shoaib Malik will captain Punjab and Sarfraz Ahmed will lead Sindh.The draft took place in Lahore, where Punjab picked Salman Butt as their opening batsman while Sindh went for Mohammad Amir. Mohammad Asif, however, was not picked by any of the five teams. Mohammad Hafeez, who is suffering from a knee injury, remained unavailable for selection. In order to promote young cricketers, each team had to pick one regional Under-19 player in their 15-man squad.The Pakistan domestic structure has been inconsistent for decades with changes occurring every two years. Their domestic season starts in August with Grade-2 tournaments, and ends with the limited-overs tournaments by March. The PCB had introduced a completely new first-class system in 2015 and the announcement of the Pakistan Cup reflects the varying nature of planning in the domestic set up. It was understood that there were commercial reasons behind the timing of the event.”Our public loves cricket and we are trying to further elevate our product,” Najam Sethi, the chairman of the PCB executive committee, said. “There is greater involvement of senior cricketers with the draft process in place. Players will also receive a 100% increase in remuneration and the support staff is very experienced. We are celebrating unity in diversity and I urge the fans to come and watch these matches in the stadium.”Punjab: Salman Butt, Shan Masood, Asad Shafiq, Asif Ali, Akbar-ur-Rehman, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saad Nasim, Amir Yameen, Shoaib Malik (capt), Ehsan Adil, Amad Butt, Adnan Ghaus, Zulfiqar Babar, Saif BadarSindh: Khurram Manzoor, Sami Aslam, Mohammad Waqas, Shoaib Maqsood, Khalid Latif, Fawad Alam, Saad Ali, Sarfraz Ahmed (capt), Imad Wasim, Anwar Ali, Bilal Asif, Mohammad Amir, Sohail Khan, Ruman Raeez, Hassan KhanBalochistan: Azhar Ali (capt), Owais Zia, Ramiz Raja (junior), Babar Azam, Umar Akmal, Shahid Yousaf, Mohammad Hasan, Mohammad Nawaz, Sohail Tanvir, Junaid Khan, Bilawal Bhatti, Umar Gul, Imran Khan, Osama Mir, Saeed AjmalFederal: Sharjeel Khan, Nasir Jamshed, Iftikhar Ahmed, Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), Asif Zakir, Hammad Azam, Sarmad Bhatti, Arsal Sheikh, Imran Khalid, Zafar Gohar, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Irfan, Hasan Ali, Mohammad AbbasKPK: Ahmed Shahzad, Fakhar Zaman, Younis Khan (capt), Rameez Aziz, Naveed Yasin, Musadiq Ahmed, Bismillah Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Rahat Ali, Azarullah, Sadaif Mehdi, Yasir Shah, Mohammad Asghar, Zohaib Khan, Hayatullah

Mohammedan Sporting Club leapfrogged Gazi Group Cricketers on the points table by beating them in Mirpur by seven wickets, thereby putting themselves in second place behind Prime Doleshwar Sporting Club.The win was set up through four-wicket hauls from left-arm spinners Enamul Haque jnr and Naeem Islam jnr. After being inserted, Gazi Group made a decent start but from 63 for two, they collapsed to 110 for 8. Only captain Alok Kapali hung around to make a 67-ball 48; he was the last man out in the 38th over, as Gazi Group were bowled out for 141. The two other wickets went to Habibur Rahman.Mohammedan lost Ezaz Ahmed early but Upul Tharanga and Shykat Ali added 76 for the second wicket to keep the chase on track, before Naeem Islam and Ariful Haque took them home in 31.5 overs.Kalabagan Krira Chakra secured their first win of the tournament by beating Cricket Coaching School by 49 runs in Fatullah. The win was set up by Hamilton Masakadza’s 104-ball 115, which included ten fours and two sixes. Opener Shadman Islam chipped in with 47 off 63 balls as Kalabagan made 270 for 9. The bowlers then, led by Abdur Razzak kept CCS to 221 for 8.Having been sent in, Kalabagan lost Jashimuddin early, but Islam and Masakadza laid a strong base with a 74-run partnership for the second wicket. After Islam offered a return catch to Rajin Saleh in the 18th over, Masakadza combined well with Tasamul Haque for a 77-run stand. Masakadza pressed on to score his seventh List-A century, also his second in the Dhaka Premier League, having made one in 2013. Nasum Ahmed took three wickets while Salman Hossain and Uttam Sarkar claimed two each.CCS began positively in the chase, with opener Pinak Ghosh and Saif Hasan taking their side to 89 for 1 by the 22nd over. Razzak then had Ghosh caught by captain Mashrafe Mortaza and a ball later, the left-arm spinner pinned Salman Hossain lbw for a duck. When Nasum Ahmed holed out for 5 in the 27th over, CSS were reduced to 106 for 5. Uttam Sarkar mounted late resistance, with 63 off 74 balls, but his team eventually came up short. Mashrafe complemented Razzak by picking up two wickets.Legends of Rupganj picked up their second victory in the competition by thumping Kalabagan Cricket Academy by 29 runs (D/L method) in a rain-affected match at the BKSP-3 ground.Batting first, Rupganj posted 239 for 9 in 50 overs with Asif Ahmed top-scoring with 82 and Sajjadul Haque making 70. Asif and Sajjadul revived their side’s innings with a131-run sixth-wicket after Rupganj had slipped to 81 for 5 in the 24th over. Seamer Abu Jayed took four wickets while Mehedi Hasan Miraz and Rifat Pradhan took two each.Rain reduced KCA’s chase to a 25-over innings, and their revised target was 171. KCA slipped to 85 for 7 inside 15 overs before Taposh Ghosh and Bishawnath Halder added 56 runs for the unbroken eighth-wicket stand. The Taposh-Halder stand, however, was not enough as KCA restricted to 141. Mosharraf Hossain and Nahidul Islam led Rupganj’s charge by picking two wickets each.

O ex-atacante Jonas teve passagem marcante pela Europa, principalmente no Benfica, de Portugal. Mas, para o brasileiro, faltou uma coisa na sua vitoriosa carreira: jogar no Corinthians, seu time do coração desde pequeno. Em entrevista ao canal Desimpedidos, no YouTube, ele comentou sobre o Timão.

– Faltou eu jogar no Corinthians por ser corintiano desde pequeno. Eu tinha uma bandeira da Gaviões da Fiel. Quando eu era pequeno e o Corinthians era campeão, eu saía na carreata na minha cidade e era o primeiro carro com o meu pai, meus irmãos. Eu torcia muito. Fui para o Santos, e a primeira pergunta do repórter foi para que time eu torcia. Respondi que torcia para o Guarani.

Jonas ainda revelou que recebeu um convite de Ronaldo Fenômeno no final de 2010, na época que o atacante atuava no Corinthians. O camisa nove gostaria de ter o ex-Benfica como companheiro de ataque dele no Timão.

– Eu estava brigando para ser artilheiro do Brasileirão e eu estava concentrado com o Fábio Santos no quarto, e o Douglas entra: ‘O Ronaldo me ligou que quer falar com você’. Aí ele [Ronaldo] me ligou: ‘E aí, juvenil. Não quer jogar comigo, não?’. Eu respondi: ‘Querer eu quero, mas como faço para ir aí?’. Ele ligou para o meu irmão e tal, mas acabou que não aprofundou, mas fiquei felizão – afirmou Jonas, que depois acabou acertando com o Valencia, da Espanha.
