Chris Dent hammered an unbeaten 55 off just 23 balls as Gloucestershire produced a shock NatWest T20 Blast victory over South Division leaders Essex by six wickets at Cheltenham.The left-hander hit five sixes and two fours to clinch an unlikely win, a target of 184 being reached with two balls to spare in a thriller. Skipper Michael Klinger contributed 45, while both Alex Gidman and Ian Cockbain made 27.Essex posted 183 for 7 after losing the toss, Ravi Bopara profiting from being dropped three times to make 51 and Ryan ten Doeschate smiting 27 off nine balls at the death. Benny Howell was the most successful bowler with 4 for 26 from his four overs.It was only the second time in 12 group matches that Essex had suffered defeat and came against a Gloucestershire side who only had pride to play for, with no chance of reaching the quarter-finals.Dent said: “It was time I did something for the team because I have had a lean season by my standards. There was a short boundary on one side and I always felt we had a chance because it didn’t take much of a hit to clear it.”The visitors made a poor start to their innings when Tom Westley was caught behind for a golden duck off the third ball of the game, bowled by left-arm spinner Tom Smith.But Mark Pettini and Kishen Velani responded with a stand of 42 off 28 balls before Pettini was caught at deep square by Howell off Graeme McCarter.At the end of the Powerplay Essex were 59 for 2. The eighth over saw Bopara survive a caught and bowled chance to Howell on four and Velani, on 34, caught at long-on the ball after depositing a full toss over midwicket for six.Bopara was badly dropped for the second time on 19, Jack Taylor spilling the chance at short third-man from a reverse sweep, before going on to add 52 in 34 balls for the fifth wicket with Ben Foakes.Bopara had hit six fours and a six by the time he fell to Howell in the 18th over, the ball after being dropped for a third time by David Payne, the same fielder atoning on the deep midwicket boundary.If Gloucestershire thought that was the end of their problems, ten Doeschate had other ideas. The Essex captain smacked two fours and two sixes in his cameo and 19 came off the final over, sent down by McCarter.Gloucestershire openers Klinger and Gidman both hit straight sixes off the third over of their team’s reply, bowled by left-arm spinner Tim Phillips, who had been given the new ball.George Sharp was umpiring at both ends, with his partner Stephen Gale operating at square-leg, having received a painful blow on the knee from a straight drive by Bopara during the Essex innings.Young seamer Matt Salisbury conceded only three off the last over of the Powerplay and it was not until the seventh over that Klinger and Gidman brought up their half-century stand.Bopara broke the partnership on 71 by inducing a return catch from Gidman while conceding only two off the ninth over. There was no keeping the England one-day international out of the action as he then took a catch at deep midwicket off Phillips to send back Howell for a brisk 16.Salisbury took a brilliant low catch running round from short third-man for remove dangerman Klinger, with Gloucestershire requiring 91 off 7.5 overs, but successive sixes from Dent off Greg Smith in the 14th over kept the home side’s hopes alive.Cockbain helped add 70 in six overs before being bowled by Graham Napier at the start of the 19th over. Even then Essex looked favourites, but Dent was now flying and finished the game with two, two, six, four off the final over from Salisbury to secure the win.Ten Doeschate said: “We were carrying a few injuries and it was a bit of a jaded performance. I felt we should have scored more runs on that pitch and we are disappointed.”

Já sem vínculo com o São Paulo,Biro Biro foi, enfim, anunciado oficialmente como reforço do Botafogo, com contrato de um ano, nesta quarta. O meia-atacante já treina com o elenco de Eduardo Barroca desde a semana passada, mas ainda não tem data para conceder a entrevista coletiva de apresentação.

Biro Biro se desligou do São Paulo no último dia 5, quando acertou com o Nova Iguaçu por três temporadas e foi emprestado ao Alvinegro até 30 de junho de 2020. Este ano, ele só atuou em duas partidas pelo Tricolor paulista.

Sem espaço no São Paulo, o jogador de 24 anos vai chegar para disputar posição pelo lado esquerdo do ataque do Botafogo. Luiz Fernando e Rodrigo Pimpão, que se revezaram no setor durante o primeiro semestre, tiveram atuações irregulares.

O Botafogo,com problemas financeiros e dificuldade para contratar,possui poucas tentativas para melhorar a equipe para o restante do Brasileirão. A aposta em Biro Biro se encaixa dentro do perfil do clube e do padrão esperado por Barroca. Victor Rangel também chegou como aposta, recentemente.

JÁ REGULARIZADO

Pouco depois do anúncio oficial, Biro Biro teve o seu nome (Diego Santos Gama Camilo) publicado no BID da CBF. Assim, regularizado, já pode estrear neste domingo, quando o Botafogo visita o Cruzeiro, no Mineirão, pelo Brasileiro.

Organisers for a proposed professional T20 league in Canada announced this week that they are seeking a location in the greater Toronto area for a planned $700m, 35000-strong stadium. Roy Singh, the businessman spearheading the project, it is now learnt, was sentenced to prison for four and a half years in 2007 for his role in a multi-million dollar fraud case.According to court documents seen by ESPNcricinfo, Singh, the chairman and chief executive of Canadian Premier League T20 LP, pleaded guilty in 2006 to a charge of “fraud over $5,000.” He was convicted of swindling the now defunct i-Trade Finance Inc., of $8 million ($US 5.25 million) between 2001 and 2003. Roy Singh is an alias for Rohit Ablacksingh, the name listed in court documents. He was released on parole in the summer of 2008, according to news reports in the , despite objections to the parole board from i-Trade’s former president Parker Gallant over Singh’s failure to compensate those affected.”Mr. Singh has been open and frank about his past legal troubles with me,” said Bob Mitchell, president of Canadian Premier League. “What happened occurred more than a decade ago. It has absolutely nothing to do with today. I believe in giving people second chances. Mr. Singh wants the chance to do something great for Canada and cricket. He realises there will always be people who will bring up his past but all he can do is move forward.”The Canadian Premier League web site states that Singh received a 2003 Entrepreneur of the Year award by the Etobicoke Chamber of Commerce and his aggressive entrepreneurial spirit has acted as a driving force for the proposed T20 league and stadium.However, the January 11, 2007 sentence summary for the case that sent Singh to prison, said that he “had no business receiving such an honour,” because Justice A M Gans said Webworx, Singh’s company, “had no business to speak of in the year in question” other than the fraud it was found guilty for.In his capacity as chief executive of Webworx Inc., Singh “through a sophisticated array of paper, faxes, emails and fictional characters, in addition to unseemly acts of ingratiation and self-promotion if not instances of disarming behavior, was able to persuade the executives and employees of i-Trade that Webworx had ongoing and profitable contracts” when in fact no such things existed. Based on false documents through a false identity, Webworx obtained millions in financing from and eventually bankrupted i-Trade. Justice Gans called Singh’s behavior in the case as “Machiavellian in the extreme” and said that time in prison would give him a chance to get “treatment for his seeming sociopathic behavior.”In relation to the Canadian Premier League, Singh and his fellow organizers also stated they were looking for investors in franchises to support a 10-team tournament in Canada, which has been delayed since 2013 and is now targeting an August 2015 start date at a temporary facility until the proposed $700 million stadium plan is approved. According to the press release, each team in the league would have starting line-ups comprised of eight Canadian domestic players and three from overseas.Among those listed on the web site as part of the Canadian Premier League management are West Indian batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Emma Everett, player agent to several West Indian players including Dwayne Bravo. The Canadian Premier League web site and Singh’s social media pages are also flooded with images of Singh posing with public officials and high profile cricket personalities, including Sir Richie Richardson sporting a Canadian Premier League hat alongside Singh, seemingly in an effort to build support for his proposed project.The most recent instance of Canada hosting Test level international players was in May 2012 when a much-hyped exhibition match turned into a major debacle. Local organising group Kat Rose attempted to stage a T20 All-Star game at the Rogers Centre, home of Major League Baseball’s Toronto Blue Jays, with tickets listed at face value from $25 to $199. The projected profits for the event were pinned to targeted gate sales driven by the participation of six Pakistani players, including Misbah-ul-Haq, Saeed Ajmal and Shahid Afridi. The Pakistani players withdrew less than 48 hours before the match when No Objection Certificates could not be secured by the organisers. Brian Lara was also scheduled to play, but pulled out on the morning of the match after he was not paid his match fee prior to the start of the game.Most of the other cricketers who travelled to the event did play, but sued Kat Rose over unpaid match fees as well as reimbursements for flights and accommodation. FICA also attempted to intervene on behalf of 16 international players, including Sanath Jayasuriya, Tino Best, Jacob Oram, Tim Southee, Mark Boucher, Brendan Taylor and Stuart MacGill.

Huw Waters, the Glamorgan seamer, has been forced to retire through illness. He has missed the last two seasons and, having been diagnosed with exercise-induced dystonia, has accepted it will not be possible to continue playing professionally.”The last 12-18 months have been very difficult,” Waters said. “We have explored all routes to overcome this and get back playing. After various specialists looking at my case, it has been concluded that no treatment would have allowed me to perform at first-class level.”Waters, 27, has not played a first-class match since April 2013. He has since been battling dystonia, a movement disorder that causes muscle spasms and contractions, thought to be a neurological condition: a problem with the part of the brain that controls muscle movement. There is currently no cure.”Muddy” Waters was a promising seam bowler who came through the Glamorgan academy. A Monmouthshire boy, he made an immediate impact on first-class cricket with 4 for 75 on debut at Trent Bridge in July 2005 as an 18-year-old. A year later he played for England Under-19s in the World Cup semi-final, a match also featuring Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Cheteshwar Pujara, who made a match-winning 129 not out.In 2012 he claimed 39 wickets at just 20.46, including a first-class best 7 for 53 against Hampshire at Cardiff, and was named Glamorgan Championship Player of the Year. He was awarded his cap at the final match of the season but it would unfortunately be his final County Championship appearance.”I am thankful for all the support I have received from everyone at the club,” Waters said. “The patience and understanding they have shown is something I am very grateful for. I have to thank them for giving me the opportunity to live my dream to play cricket for Glamorgan and I wish the club well for the future.”I have some great memories to look back on and so many people were a huge part of those memories. I now look forward to the next chapter in my life with great excitement.”Glamorgan director of cricket and chief executive Hugh Morris added: “With the ability to swing the ball from a young age, Huw was a regular for the England Under-19 set-up and without injury would have made many more appearances for Glamorgan.”He was capable of outstanding spells with the ball and stubborn innings at the tail or as a nightwatchman. He has been the consummate professional, capable of leading our attack, and his calm demeanour in both pressure and everyday situations means he will be sadly missed by the team and everyone at the club. We wish him well for the future.”

Australian fast bowler Ryan Harris, who is still recovering from a knee surgery, has signed up as a bowling mentor with Queensland Cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Sep-2014Australia fast bowler Ryan Harris, who is still recovering from a knee surgery, has signed up as a bowling mentor with Queensland Cricket. In his new role, Harris will work with Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League, Queensland Bulls, Queensland Fire women’s teams and the state’s youth squads.Stuart Law, the coach of Brisbane Heat and Bulls, said Harris could play a few games depending on the demands of Australia’s international schedule. According to Law, with the revised player eligibility rules in the Big Bash League, Harris could take up a spot on the Heat’s supplementary player list and could step in as a local replacement player.”If a Shane Watson or Mitchell Johnson is unavailable due to national commitments and Ryan was available, then he could come into the team as a player during BBL 04,” Law said. “Of course that would be a bonus if it happened – all things being equal, we would expect him to be involved with the Australian side for much of the summer.”After the UAE tour, Australia are scheduled to host South Africa for a limited-overs series in November, followed by four Tests against India and a triangular series alongside India and England before the 2015 World Cup.Harris underwent knee surgery in March after bowling Australia to a series win against South Africa in the Cape Town Test and his rehabilitation also ruled him out of the series against Pakistan. In the interim, he was the assistant coach of the Australia A squad during the home series against India A, South Africa A and the Cricket Australia National Performance Squad in July and August.

ScorecardAneesh Kapil swings down the ground on his way to a half-century•PA Photos

Halfway through the second innings there was a power surge through SE11. It took the floodlights out for 20 minutes and knocked out Somerset too. Pursuing a revised 275 in 38.2 overs to be sure of going through, their spark faded.Somerset’s equation was dictated by events at Trent Bridge, where victory for Nottinghamshire would require Somerset to overhaul Durham’s net run-rate. The initial task to do so was 285 in 42.1 overs but the loss of four overs for a floodlight failure stiffened the requirement and on resumption they lost their way to lose a third straight game after qualification looked comfortably within reach.It appeared Somerset’s man-made power surge was leading them through. Marcus Trescothick’s renaissance in the County Championship has not extended to the one-day arena this season. His form slipped to such an extent that he was dropped from the T20 side. He chose an opportune moment to regain his touch and bludgeoned 80 from only 54 balls – just his second limited-overs half-century this season.He began with an edged cut over the slips before carving a more deliberate stroke wide of third man for another boundary. The first of his four sixes was a slap over Tim Linley’s head into the pavilion in the ninth over.Nineteen came from the next. He reached outside off stump to heave George Edwards for six over extra cover, took more runs to cow corner and through the off side yet again, before sending a length ball into the seats over deep midwicket.The innings looked to have set his side up for a dashing chase to pip Durham into fourth place in Group B but a jolt of electricity after 24.1 overs had an undesired effect. On resumption, 129 were needed in 14.1 to be sure of going through but as Nottinghamshire suffered a Powerplay disaster, suddenly any victory would send Somerset through. The tenth wicket did their best to at least win the game with a stand of 34 but Nottinghamshire’s eventual victory rendered the effort worthless. And a superb run-out by Aneesh Kapil saw Surrey win by seven runs anyway.Somerset struggled to regain momentum after Zafar Ansari won two lbws against Trescothick and Johann Myburgh in consecutive overs. The lights went on and off. Alex Barrow then swung wildly at Robin Peterson and was stumped. Lewis Gregory became the fifth lbw on the card. James Hildreth kept Somerset in the game with a half-century but when he slapped Ansari to extra-cover, Somerset were slipping out.Surrey could sit back and giggle at the events having not won a single match in the competition – in stark contrast to their T20 form. Jason Roy led their charge to NatWest Blast Finals Day but failed here, following a morning of much media attention. He struck the first ball of the match for four but, to the 11th, was pinned in the creased by Gregory and lbw for 10.Instead, Kapil took his chance to prove why Surrey have offered him a contract until the end of 2015. Released by Worcestershire at the end of last season, Kapil’s capable all-round ability has been recognised at The Oval and here he made a 52-ball fifty in just his sixth game for Surrey.Rory Burns made his way to a steady 40 in 48 balls before falling to a leading edge trying to work Jack Leach to leg – part of a tidy 2 for 55 for the slow left-armer. Gary Wilson was the fourth player to pass forty without making his tally innings-defining. He was smartly run out by Craig Overton from deep square leg.
