Anderson was due to play for Somerset in the Blast•Getty Images
Somerset have announced the cancellation of Corey Anderson’s contract by mutual consent.Anderson, the New Zealand allrounder, had signed for all 14 group-stage games in the T20 Blast, and potentially the knockout stages, but his deal has been called off due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”The last few months have not been an easy time for anyone and the challenges of dealing with the impact of the pandemic within cricket have been unprecedented,” said Andy Hurry, the club’s director of cricket. “I would like to thank Corey and his representatives for their transparency and understanding in reaching this mutual decision.”It’s obviously really disappointing news to everyone as there was a real buzz around Corey returning to Taunton. However, this decision provides Corey and the club with clarity in a time of uncertainty.”A club statement said: “This decision suits both parties at this time and it is hoped that Corey will return to play for the county at some point in the future.”

After sacking David Wagner following play-off failure up against Leeds United, Norwich City are now reportedly one step away from signing their new manager and kicking off a new era at Carrow Road.
Norwich manager news
Wagner guided Norwich into the Championship's top six, before watching on as his side were eased out of the way by a dominant Leeds side in a 4-0 thrashing. Those in Norfolk then wasted no time before parting ways with their manager, with the club's sporting director Ben Knapper telling the official website: “David has operated with class and dignity throughout his period as Norwich City head coach, but we now feel that the time is right for us to move in a different direction.
“We remain committed to progressing our football club, in both the short and long-term, working through a diligent and thorough strategy. The appointment of a new head coach is an important one. We will now work and continue our due diligence with the view of making an appointment in the near future.”
That different direction has seemingly taken the Canaries towards Denmark too. According to Wayne Veysey of Football Insider, Norwich are now one step away from signing Johannes Thorup from Nordsjaelland with his work permit accepted on Thursday. This will likely see the 35-year-old arrive to take charge of just the second club in his managerial career, pending the board's final decision.
28 year-old Arsenal coach could now leave after Sunday to join Norwich
The Canaries have just sacked David Wagner.
ByTom Cunningham May 17, 2024
Nonetheless, his first two seasons in the dugout have certainly gone well, with Nordsjaelland finishing second in his first campaign before falling to fourth in his second, meaning that the Dane has never finished lower than the top four when taking charge of a senior side.
Thorup represents an exciting unknown
Norwich find themselves at a crossroads this summer. They're in no position to panic about Championship relegation, but promotion also seems a world away despite reaching the play-offs in the current campaign. And given that they've not been in the Premier League since 2022, they risk stagnation in England's second tier and away from their ability to bounce consistently up to the top flight.
Now is the time to try something new away from the same names and experienced managers. Now is the time to take a risk on a manager like Thorup. He's shown plenty of signs in Denmark that he has the potential to step up in the Championship, but at 35 years old, he will still need the time to build an ideal project at Carrow Road.
His preferred 4-3-3 attacking formation should add the excitement that Wagner lacked at times, whilst his connection with Nordsjaelland will hopefully create a pathway for talent to make their way to English football courtesy of Norwich. The Danish club are owned by the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana, which has produced the likes of West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus.

Captain may believe his role in the side has changed, but Yasir will want to emphasise his importance hasn’t

Yasir Shah punches the air after bowling Jos Buttler•AFP
Yasir Shah doesn’t do half-measures; anyone who watched him play in England in 2016 will know that.A match-winning ten-wicket haul at Lord’s was followed by arguably his worst career performance in Manchester, his match figures reading 66-6-263-1. If his numbers in the UAE, where he’s snared 113 wickets in a scarcely believable 17 Test matches, showcase the best of the legspinner, the other side of the coin is equally extreme. In the Southern Hemisphere, Yasir’s nine wickets have come at almost 96 apiece at an economy rate of 4.40.England is the one place where the jury was out on him, and he did himself few favours on Thursday. Brought on to replace Mohammad Abbas and Shaheen Afridi with all the pressure on the England batsmen, the legspinner couldn’t have asked for better circumstances to be asked to bowl. Far from being a stellar support act to the quicks, however, he was perhaps singularly responsible for frittering some of the momentum away, bowling much too short, far too quick, and proving way too expensive.It is one of those intoxicatingly captivating vagaries of cricket that Yasir walked off at the end of the second day having taking the prized wicket of Joe Root, while Mohammad Abbas and Afridi were empty handed after a sensational hour of bowling on the third morning. Even so, there were signs he wasn’t over the loss of form and confidence that had meant he was no longer viewed as an automatic selection. In seven overs, he conceded 38 runs, bowling at least eight long hops along the way.On Friday, however, his entry into the attack elevated the quality of the bowling, and as the wickets began to come, his confidence, so integral to his performances throughout his career, began to grow. He went through Jos Buttler’s defences with one that might be deemed natural variation, but Yasir felt he had outwitted him, and to a confidence cricketer, that made all the difference. The long hops were gone, the delivery stride was measured and deliberate, and the stock delivery nicely flighted.All the variations came out; the classical legspinner which reared up claimed Dom Bess, while Chris Woakes was undone by the slider. These were tricks Yasir wouldn’t have dared try the previous day, and when he holds back, he is a shadow of the cricketer Pakistan have shut their eyes and hung their hopes on for so many years.No one, as the cliché goes, becomes a poor bowler overnight, least of all a man who became the quickest to 200 Test wickets in history. The knowledge he suddenly had to prove his worth to the side may well have played a part in the added pressure on his shoulders; Pakistan’s spin bowling coach spoke about it in the press conference afterwards.”The most important thing is spinners need to have a strong temperament and understand your action,” Mushtaq Ahmed said. “Legspinners need to be mentally strong, and in the right head space.”You need to have repeatable actions to bowl good overs rather than good balls. We’re working with him on how to bowl in different circumstances using various strategies, and to ingrain these into his muscle memory. If you have variations, as Yasir does, and can also bowl good overs, I think you can challenge any batsman.”It’s hard to overstate how worried Yasir might have been for his future overnight. When Pakistan commemorated the first Test to be played in the country for a decade last year, he found there was no place for him in the eleven. He might have served them well in the UAE; indeed, might have been the most significant reason Pakistan went nine years without losing a Test series in the Emirates, but this was Pakistan. And in Pakistan, pace was primary, spin peripheral.He got his chance in the second Test two months later, but if anything, served to only vindicate the decision to leave him out the first time around, conceding 127 runs at four per over, with Haris Sohail outbowling him. After the Test against Bangladesh in February – his skipper, Azhar Ali, spoke pointedly about his “changing role in the side”.”When non-Asian opposition comes to Pakistan, we’ll see if we go a different direction with the surfaces but for now I think the fast bowlers have been given the task of leading,” Azhar said then. “Yasir, who has undoubtedly been a champion bowler for us and has proved how good he is, will begin to get those big wickets whenever the conditions are more favourable for him. This is a change for him, too.”It sounded more like a swansong than an endorsement. There was little Yasir could have done about Pakistan moving back home, but his performances of late outside the country hadn’t quite helped his case, either. In the last six Tests before the ongoing one, Yasir took six wickets at over 70 runs per dismissal; half of those were three Bangladeshi tailenders in a foregone conclusion in the fourth innings of the Test in February. In one three-Test series prior, he had managed 29 wickets. That, of course, was a UAE series.On Friday, Shadab Khan spilling a regulation catch was all that separated him from a first five-for since that productive series in the UAE against New Zealand in 2018. But for a man who no longer has the dustbowls of the UAE to fall back on, it’s unlikely to be any more than a minor irritation. His captain may believe his role in the side has changed, but Yasir will be keen to emphasise his importance to it has not.
Cole Palmer’s performance levels during his first campaign as a Chelsea player have been absolutely phenomenal.
Truth be told, without the 22-year-old, who knows where the Blues would be right now? But one thing is for certain: they’d be much worse off.
The England international has well and truly exceeded every expectation, scoring 22 goals and providing 11 assists in 29 starts, the most goal involvements in the league.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at a Chelsea target who could just become Palmer 2.0 under Enzo Maresca.
Chelsea’s search for another Palmer
According to a report from GiveMeSport earlier this week, Chelsea are in the race to sign Eberechi Eze – having also shown an interest in teammate Michael Olise, alongside Manchester United.
It’s reported that a fee of at least £60m will be demanded by Crystal Palace for their star man, but Tottenham Hotspur are set to rival the Blues for his signature.
Given that the Eagles number ten has been simply outstanding this season, it’s no surprise to see that the most elite English clubs are interested.
Over the course of the campaign, the midfielder made 27 appearances, scoring an impressive 11 goals and providing four assists in the process.
His performances may have just earned him a spot on the plane to Germany for the European Championships with England, which just proves how influential he’s been.
Why Eze could be the next Palmer
Based on Eze’s statistics from this season alone, it’s clear to see that the attacking midfielder has plenty of similarities to Palmer.
This is both in terms of their style of play and their statistics, which is why they’ve been classed as 'similar players’ by FBref – when looking at Premier League players.

As displayed above, the duo are extremely technical players who thrive when operating in tight central zones, where they can get on the half-turn and create magic.
They also both bring goals from midfield, which would make Chelsea incredibly dangerous in the final third due to the unpredictability that they provide.
On top of that, Eze is well and truly the heartbeat at Palace; he’s the instigator in turning defence into attack, which the Chelsea faithful have seen Palmer do all season long.
Just like Palmer, Eze can play across the attack due to his insane technical class, but the former Queens Park Rangers ace could even play slightly deeper, as shown by his four tackles and seven duels won against Aston Villa on the final day of the season.
However, the main difference between Palmer and Eze is that the latter is slightly more dynamic, using his silky dribbling to weave past the opposition, which is why Palace’s number ten has been described as a “superstar” by analyst Ben Mattinson.
Furthermore, as you can see from the graphic above, if Chelsea did opt for Eze over Olise, they’d be getting a player who’s just as talented and just as impactful in the final third.
Overall, the signing of Eze would be absolutely fantastic for Chelsea, and his position in a left-sided midfield role under Maresca could genuinely take him to the level of Palmer.

The Chelsea target can be bought for as little as £19m.

Hampshire dismissed for 191 but take two quick wickets as Kent begin reply

Darren Stevens celebrates yet another scalp•Getty Images
Kent allrounder Darren Stevens took his third five-wicket haul of the summer and the 29th of an illustrious career as Hampshire succumbed for 191 inside 75 overs on the opening day of their Willis Trophy south group clash in Canterbury.The 44-year-old bowled 27 overs in four separate stints to finish with a season’s best 5 for 37. The veteran, making his fifth red-ball appearance of a shortened campaign, has now taken 25 wickets at the frugal average of 16.68 apiece.In the 13 overs through to the close, Kent lost both their openers in fast-fading light. Jordan Cox was caught at slip off teenager Scott Currie and Daniel Bell-Drummond had his off stump trimmed by Ian Holland as the hosts went in at stumps on 21 for 2 to trail by 170 going into day two.Batting first after losing the toss in overcast conditions, Hampshire openers Joe Weatherley and Holland made a cautious and watchful start scoring 36 runs in the opening hour. Matt Milnes gave Kent their opening breakthrough in the 23rd over when Holland’s airy back-foot waft outside off stump flew off the shoulder of the bat to Heino Kuhn at slip.Milnes should had picked up a second scalp soon after when Tom Alsop, cutting with just a single to his name, was downed in the gully by Marcus O’Riordan. Weatherley, on 37, went in the next over, however, leg before when playing inside the line of a full-length away-swinger from Podmore as the visitors lunched on 89 for 2.Alsop added seven to his score before departing soon after the resumption. Prodding at one that ran away from the left-hander, Alsop edged Stevens, who had switched to bowl down the Nackington Road slope, for Kuhn to take a second catch at slip. Two balls later Felix Organ, off balance and working to leg, played across a straight one from Stevens to go lbw and make it 99 for 4.With the floodlights on for the second time Stevens, now swinging the ball at will under cloudy skies, bagged his third by getting one to float up the hill and feather the outside edge of Sam Northeast’s bat for the simplest of catches to the keeper. The Hampshire skipper departed for 16, then Lewis McManus followed in near identical fashion in Stevens’ next over.Lewis Scriven should have joined them with his score on 3 but Robinson dropped a diving chance away to his right off the bowling of Grant Stewart.Stevens rested after a fabulous stint of 10-7-16-4, but Scriven’s let off counted for nought when he nibbled one from Milnes to Robinson, who this time made no mistake. Robinson took an even better catch three balls later, tumbling away to his right to claim the outside edge off Mason Crane’s bat as he pushed in defence off the back foot.Ninth-wicket partners Brad Wheal and Currie dug in after tea adding 46 before Currie, the first-class debutant on 38, fenced at a Podmore lifter to Robinson behind the timbers.Stevens wrapped it up soon after, bagging his third five-wicket return of the season when Ajeet Dale dabbed an away-swinger to the keeper for Robinson’s sixth catch of the day. Stevens starred, but Milnes with 3 for 54 and Podmore, 2for 49, offered excellent support.
Neste sábado (21), o gerente de futebol do Bahia, Júnior Chávare, irá reencontrar o Grêmio, clube do qual teve duas passagens, em partida válida pela 17ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Notadamente conhecido por revelar jogadores ao futebol brasileiro, o dirigente deixou um legado importante para as categorias de base do clube gaúcho.
Em 2013, enquanto executivo da base da equipe gremista, Chávare implementou o ‘Projeto Lapidar’, no intuito de proporcionar um maior desenvolvimento técnico e tático para os atletas de todas as categorias, desde os 12 até a fase quase profissional, de 20 anos.

– Além de um acompanhamento intenso de uma equipe única e exclusiva de profissionais, a principal virtude do ‘Lapidar’ foi trabalhar os fundamentos específicos nos treinamentos diante de uma didática que detectava o nível de desenvolvimento em que o jogador se encontrava.
O Projeto Lapidar foi responsável por lançar jogadores que chegaram à Seleção Brasileira e, posteriormente, foram vendidos à Europa. Exemplo de Everton Cebolinha, Wendell, Pedro Rocha, Arthur e Wallace. Além de nomes mais recentes, como Tetê e Pepê. No São Paulo, dois atletas também são citados com destaque dentro deste projeto: o Eder Militão e David Neres.
Depois do trabalho como coordenador geral das categorias de base do Grêmio, nos anos de 2013 e 2014, Chávare teve uma passagem pelo São Paulo, e retornou ao clube no ano seguinte, em 2015.
– Foram duas passagens marcantes na minha carreira e carrego o maior carinho e respeito pela instituição. No tempo que estive lá, fui um dos responsáveis por aproximar a base do grupo principal e notamos o fruto disso nos últimos anos para a agremiação – comentou o dirigente do Bahia.
No Bahia, o profissional consolidou sua carreira na gestão da categoria principal. O dirigente conquistou a Copa do Nordeste e começou uma campanha promissora no Brasileirão. Além disso, colocou em prática diversos conceitos no time de transição do clube. Um dos destaques do projeto, o goleiro Matheus Teixeira foi um dos atletas que saiu da equipe sub-23 para assumir a posição no time principal.
– A integração do time de transição com o elenco principal está nos ajudando a revelar grandes atletas e suprir as necessidades do treinador. Sempre buscamos boas oportunidades no mercado e conseguimos trazer jogadores de qualidade para reforçar o elenco – afirmou o gerente de futebol.
