KL Rahul, the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman, has called for smarter cricket from him and the rest of the middle order

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Apr-2015Sunrisers Hyderabad are yet to work out a solution to their misfiring middle order which cost them victory over Mumbai Indians at Wankhede stadium on Saturday. Set a middling 157 to win, they were muzzled to 137 for 8 and KL Rahul, who has been part of the problem, has called for smarter cricket from himself and his team-mates.Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner have accounted for more than half the runs made by the team’s batsmen – 459 out of 893 – and average above 40 each. But Ravi Bopara, with 111 runs at 27.75, KL Rahul, with 100 runs at 25 and Naman Ojha, with 79 runs at 15.8, have been unable to keep up.”The middle order has to wake up and get runs for the team,” Rahul told . “If the middle order keeps batting like this then there is going to be too much pressure on Warner and Dhawan at the top of the order,” he said. “There is firepower in the middle order with Ravi Bopara and Naman Ojha who can hit the ball, but we just have not been able to click well as a batting unit. It is something that we need to work on”Rahul batted at No. 3 and made a painstaking 25 off 27, with only one boundary. His partnership with Bopara – 36 in 6.1 overs at less than run-a-ball – nullified the momentum gained after Dhawan and Warner had helped crack 52 runs in the Powerplay.”I walked in today and it is very disappointing that I couldn’t close the game for the team,” Rahul said. “I think I need to play smartly. I have been playing some stupid shots. I have been getting off to starts, which is a positive sign. My feet are moving well and I am looking confident but I have to be a smarter in the middle and soak up that pressure.”I have to keep going through and play twenty overs. Once I play 20-25 balls the team is expecting you to deliver and get a big score. I have been lacking on that front.”

Com apenas 12 pontos, a situação do Fluminense no Campeonato Brasileiro é preocupante. Na antepenúltima posição, o Tricolor precisa tirar uma diferença de seis para o Cruzeiro, o primeiro fora da zona de rebaixamento. O que ameniza um pouco essa questão, é que o time possui um jogo a menos. No entanto, a partida é contra o Palmeiras, fora de casa.

O Fluminense tem mais 22 jogos até o fim do Brasileirão, tendo ainda 66 pontos em disputa. A pergunta que não quer calar é: quantos seriam necessários para se livrar da queda para a Série B? Baseado no histórico desde 2006, quando o Campeonato Brasileiro chegou ao número de 20 participantes, nenhum time caiu com 46 pontos.

Entretanto, vale lembrar que o próprio Tricolor terminou a competição em 2013, dentro do Z4, somando a mesma pontuação, porém ficou na Série A por causa da perda de seis pontos de Flamengo e Portuguesa, que foram punidos por escalação irregular de atletas. Os clubes ficaram com 45 e 44 pontos, respectivamente.

Outros clubes se salvaram com menos pontos. Em 2018, o Vasco se livrou com 43, mesma pontuação do Vitória, em 2017. Na edição de 2014, o Palmeiras conseguiu a façanha de escapar com 40 pontos, a menor pontuação de um 16º colocado, desde 2006.

Tirando a média entre todas as edições, o número mágico seria o de 44 pontos. Para alcançar essa pontuação, o Fluminense vai precisar conquistar 32 dos 66 em disputa, tendo que obter um aproveitamento de 48%. Atualmente, o aproveitamento do Tricolor é de apenas 25%.

É PRECISO MELHORAR

Com o objetivo traçado, a nova pergunta é: Oswaldo de Oliveira seria capaz de manter o Fluminense na Série A? Baseado nos números, o treinador vai precisar se esforçar bastante. Considerando apenas a década atual, o técnico comandou equipes em 168 jogos no Campeonato Brasileiro, com 64 vitórias, 46 empates e 58 derrotas, somando 238 pontos, aproveitamento de 47%, um pouco menor do que o necessário.

Desde 2012, quando retornou do Japão, Oswaldo de Oliveira comandou o Botafogo, Santos, Palmeiras, Flamengo, Sport, Corinthians e Atlético-MG, obtendo o aproveitamento necessário apenas nos clubes cariocas e no mineiro. Confira:

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
The year 2014 has just become a whole lot nicer for Bangladesh. After 10 months of losses, failures, suspensions, resignations and sackings, they have completed a 3-0 Test series win over Zimbabwe with a 186-run margin in Chittagong.The final wicket fell in the 85th over when Natsai M’shangwe was trapped lbw by Shafiul Islam. Craig Ervine, Richmond Mutumbami and Tinashe Panyangara also fell the same way while Shingi Masakadza had his off stump pegged back.File photo: Shuvagata Hom removed the two overnight batsmen before lunch•WICB Media

Regis Chakabva was the sole source of resistance, making 89 off 181 balls with seven fours and a six. He hardly played a false shot despite several leg-before appeals, surviving through two reviews, and a chance on 21 when Mushfiqur Rahim dropped a sharp chance.For Bangladesh, there were two wickets each for Shafiul, Rubel Hossain, Jubair Hossain and Shuvagata Hom.Zimbabwe’s eccentric start to the day gave Bangladesh early inroads. Through loud appeals and inside edges, Hamilton Masakadza and Sikandar Raza, having added 67 last evening, looked to play all sorts of shots against spin from both ends. In the fourth over, Raza completed his second fifty of the match with a four that he could easily have dragged on to his stumps. In the next over, Taijul Islam had a review denied after replays showed the ball was hitting him outside off stump. It was the ninth time in the series that Bangladesh had their review denied.Masakadza, having added just 12 runs in the morning and constricted with his drives, played a reverse sweep which was neither attempted nor executed correctly. He did not go down on his knees enough to lay into the shot as the delivery from Shuvagata took his glove and popped up for Mushfiqur Rahim. Soon after the 93-run second-wicket stand ended, Shuvagata got his second wicket. This time Raza hammered a full toss down Taijul’s throat at deep midwicket, ending his innings on 65 off 75 balls with nine fours and two sixes.Brendan Taylor also gave away his wicket, playing a loose drive to Jubair, getting out to him for the third time in the series, all to drives. This time he was caught at point for 24, ending a mediocre series for himself. Seven minutes before lunch, Jubair took his second wicket when Elton Chigumbura, who had top-scored with 88 in the first innings, cut a ball low to slip where Imrul Kayes took a sharp catch to his right.Almost everything went to plan for Bangladesh. Mushfiqur has had very little to worry about with Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal doing well and the bowling attack able to pick up 20 wickets in each of the three Tests. Zimbabwe’s lack of form also played into their hands, but ultimately the win will count. And for Bangladesh, it would count with much effect.

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.”

Além de buscar reforços atendendo os pedidos de Jorge Jesus, a diretoria do Flamengo trabalha em outra frente: reposicionar alguns nomes no mercado nacional e, consequentemente, “desinchar” o elenco profissional. Hoje, 31 atletas formam o grupo à disposição do português para o segundo semestre, número considerado alto em um “plantel desequilibrado”, como o próprio apontou após o jogo-treino contra o Madureira, no último sábado, na Gávea.

Jorge Jesus já esteve reunido com a cúpula de futebol do Flamengo para passar suas impressões do elenco – com o qual trabalha no Ninho do Urubu desde o dia 20 de junho – e quais jogadores podem ser negociados. Além disso, definiu as prioridades para reforçar o plantel: lateral-esquerdo e um atacante. O VP de futebol Marcos Braz e o diretor Bruno Spindel estão à frente das tratativas.

Na última semana, o clube da Gávea mirou a contratação de Pedro, mas encerrou a negociação em nome da boa relação com a direção do Fluminense.

São cinco jogadores do atual elenco com vínculo até o final da temporada: os zagueiros Rhodolfo e Matheus Dantas, o lateral esquerdo Trauco, o lateral direito Pará e o atacante Gabigol – sendo o último por empréstimo junto à Internazionale de Milão. Assim, podem assinar pré-contrato com outro clube.

O camisa 9, titular e um dos goleadores da equipe em 2019, só sai caso o clube italiano o venda. Há uma cláusula no contrato de empréstimo que permite isso caso chegue uma proposta interessante à direção nerazurri. Gabriel Barbosa, 22 anos, chegou ao Flamengo em janeiro e tem 14 gols marcados em 26 jogos.

Entre os demais citados, Pará é quem mais atuou. Também são 26 atuações do camisa 21, que jamais foi unanimidade na lateral direita e, com a chegada de Rafinha, deve perder espaço com o técnico Jorge Jesus. Como fez seis partidas no Brasileirão, o jogador de 33 anos pode defender outro clube no Brasileirão.

Os outros atuaram bem menos em 2019, começando por Rhodolfo. No início do ano, sob o comando de Abel Braga, o zagueiro foi até titular, mas perdeu espaço para Léo Duarte e já não entra em campo desde o dia 1º de maio. São seis jogos na temporada, sendo cinco no Carioca e somente um pelo Brasileiro.

Titular da seleção peruana, semifinalista da Copa América, Miguel Trauco não ameaçou a vaga de Renê, entrando em campo pelo Flamengo 10 vezes no ano, sendo titular três vezes no Campeonato Brasileiro e outras cinco no Estadual.

O jovem Matheus Dantas, por sua vez, foi acionado no decorrer de duas partidas em 2019, contra o Resende, no Carioca, e São Paulo, no Brasileirão.

As saídas não estão restritas a esses nomes, cabe a diretoria do Flamengo atrair clubes interessados nos atletas, aliando o desejo do jogador em sair do Rubro-Negro para defender determinado clube no segundo semestre de 2019.

ScorecardNick Compton gave a timely reminder of his ability•Getty Images

There was no England selector at Taunton yesterday so in the spirit of co-operation, here is a summary for the next meeting of the top table. NRD Compton v Surrey, Taunton, September 12: Runs 66. Balls: 88. Dollars (looking like): A million. A few facts to gather dust ahead of the announcement of the Ashes squad on September 23.Observing Compton in this form begs the question why England seemingly drew such a heavy line under his Test career. Opting to open with Joe Root in the Ashes was one thing; allowing Compton’s exclusion to be seen as perpetual banishment was quite another.England, it seemed, observed a couple of tortuous innings against New Zealand and took a view, but watching his clear-headed strokeplay at Taunton begged the question of exactly which opener would offer more reliable opening cover for the tour of Australia? Compton remains short of 1,000 first-class runs this season – so does every Somerset batsman – but he averages 48 which is respectable enough. Michael Carberry, incidentally averages 40 for Hampshire in Division Two. To opt for Varun Chopra would be a gamble on an untried player at international level.There was a time just before lunch when it was possible to imagine that this was a top-of-the table encounter, not a match between two candidates for relegation. Compton, in league with Craig Kieswetter, was central to that, counterpunching with style against a highly-regarded Surrey pace attack. The quality of the strokeplay was as good as you could wish to witness. Taunton was a good place to be.In this troubled Somerset season, home supporters drank it in like they might soak up the last sunshine of summer, regarding it as all the sweeter because they knew how ephemeral it would be.Kieswetter fell softly on the stroke of lunch, driving loosely to cover; and soon after the resumption, Compton became one of two wickets in an over for Jade Dernbach as he tried to guide behind square on the off side and played on. It was a frustrating end, but he was the only Somerset batsman to give the impression of permanence.At 133 for 6, the Somerset scoreboard had a familiar ring to it, but they found something within themselves to reach 260, securing two priceless batting bonus points and a first-innings lead of 65. Surrey’s second innings began briefly, but bad light stole 20 overs from the day.If enterprise was the impression as Compton and Kieswetter added 62 for the fourth wicket, the stand of 68 between Peter Trego and Craig Meschede for the seventh wicket was a judicious one. A brilliant catch by the 18-year-old debutant, Dom Sibley, at deep cover silenced Trego. Piyush Chawla also dug in for 32 at No. 10; a late overseas acquisition respecting the opportunity he has been given.But all that felt like struggle; it was the hour up to lunch that raised the spirits. Compton drove vigorously and Kieswetter’s dash was backed up by rapid running between the wickets. Compton was dropped off Dernbach on 42, a challenging low catch to Vikram Solanki at second slip, diving across Gareth Batty at first, and Meaker was ill-served by several thick edges to third man (fashionably unguarded), but the overriding mood of a stand of 62 in 12 overs was one of optimism.Somerset had begun the day with a little victory, denying Surrey a batting bonus point as Alfonso Thomas snaffled the last two wickets without a run added. But Surrey struck back immediately when Somerset lost both openers for nought, with Marcus Trescothick dragging on third ball – a reward for Dernbach’s insistent line.Trescothick’s immediate desire to retain the Somerset captaincy had been reasserted in timely fashion in his column in the . “What I can say is I love captaining Somerset as much as I love the club itself and at this point I have no intention of handing over the reins,” he said. “I know there are people who have looked at my shortage of runs this season and linked it to the added pressure of being skipper – but I have been doing the job for four seasons and I don’t believe it has any adverse effect on my form. I enjoy the challenge and it remains my dream to lead the team to the success we all crave.”Success was not the word that sprung immediately to mind. Survival will do for a start.

يقترب نادي مانشستر سيتي الإنجليزي المتوج بالثلاثية من حسم أولى صفقاته الصيفية، بحسب تقارير صحفية واردة.

وقاد بيب جوارديولا فريقه مانشستر سيتي للتتويج بدوري أبطال أوروبا والدوري الإنجليزي وكأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي.

ويسعى مانشستر سيتي لتعزيز مركز خط الوسط، مع إمكانية رحيل الثنائي إيلكاي جوندوجان وبرناردو سيلفا.
