Mesmo com eliminação, Flu mostrou que estilo de jogo independe do rival

MatériaMais Notícias

Uma eliminação sempre é doída, mas não necessariamente traduz que tudo em determinado cenário está errado. Este é o caso do Fluminense, que, apesar de ter sido superado pelo Cruzeiro, nos pênaltis, e estar fora da Copa do Brasil, deixou boas impressões e, principalmente, estabilizou que o estilo de jogo, focado nos toques rápidos e valorização da bola, ocorrerá, independentemente do cenário encontrado ou adversário enfrentado.

Esse é o primeiro passo para qualquer equipe se estabilizar com o treinador e, por consequência, alcançar voos maiores. A partida do Fluminense no Mineirão não foi perfeita, mas também não indica que Fernando Diniz deve ser sacado do cargo por conta do resultado negativo. Muito pelo contrário.

Em Belo Horizonte, o Fluminense controlou a maioria das ações da partida no primeiro tempo. Ao seu estilo, buscando aproveitar, com movimentações dos atletas ofensivos e passes rápidos, os espaços deixados pela defesa do Cruzeiro. Em um desses casos, logo aos 10 minutos do primeiro tempo, Dedé derrubou Brenner na área. Paulo Henrique Ganso, de pênalti, marcou.

Mais do que o gol, o Fluminense, diante da pressão da torcida adversária, não se acuou e não permitiu que o Cruzeiro criasse grandes chances nos primeiros 45 minutos. Com o trabalho e energia dos meias, a pressão do Tricolor no setor travou a equipe de Mano Menezes.

No segundo tempo, o Fluminense, naturalmente, cansou e o Cruzeiro se aproveitou de tal cenário. A Raposa foi melhor e, pressionando desde o início da etapa, virou a partida, com dois gols de Thiago Neves. Cabe destacar os dois pênaltis que os mandantes tiveram a seu favor, ambos resultados de faltas bobas dos laterais Gilberto e Caio Henrique dentro da área.

Quando tudo pareceu perdido, Fernando Diniz tirou os dois zagueiros do jogo, colocou a equipe para frente e, de uma forma dramática, foi recompensado: João Pedro, aos 52 minutos, acertou uma bicicleta e empatou a partida. Nos pênaltis, o Tricolor sucumbiu à própria pontaria, perdeu a disputa por 3 a 1 e foi eliminado, mas o cenário não é de terra arrasada – e sim, de um trabalho que pode render mais frutos com continuidade.

Sri Lanka book another final spot; holders out

West Indies banked on a frenetic finish, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers had choked the chase to suffocation-point before heavy rain, then marble-sized hail, cut the innings short and sent Sri Lanka to yet another major final

West Indies banked on a frenetic finish, but Sri Lanka’s bowlers had choked the chase to suffocation-point before heavy rain, then marble-sized hail, cut the innings short and sent Sri Lanka to yet another major final. When the heavens opened, West Indies had needed 81 from 37 balls, with six wickets remaining. The Duckworth-Lewis calculation had them 27 runs adrift.It was always a dangerous ploy to begin the chase slowly, but doubly so with rain in the air, and against an attack that features better death bowlers than most in the competition. West Indies had actually scored 17 from the first, wayward over from Nuwan Kulasekara, but as an unambitious Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels hunkered down, they mustered only 17 from the next six.Sri Lanka’s spinners were allowed to settle, and soon, even the expansive shots were being mistimed. Dwayne Bravo tonked 30 for 19, as messages from the dugout implored Samuels to shift into overdrive, but when Bravo fell in the 14th over, West Indies’ chances grew desperately slim.Darren Sammy, who has been the finisher of the tournament, was about to face his first ball when the weather intruded. Two Lasith Malinga overs remained, however, and the required rate may have been beyond even Sammy’s rapid blade.Only Tillakaratne Dilshan prospered out of Sri Lanka’s senior batsmen, and even he scored only at a run-a-ball, running two batsmen out, including himself, in the process. Kusal Perera’s bold 26 from 12 and Angelo Mathews’ canny 40 from 23 gave the innings its flourishes, while Lahiru Thirimanne’s 44 from 35 was its substance.Perera had dealt powerfully to Krishmar Santokie through the leg side, to set Sri Lanka off at more than 10 an over in the first four, before Santokie had him playing on to a leg cutter. Mahela Jayawardene, so often Sri Lanka’s big-game performer, was dismissed cruelly before he had had the chance to make an impact with the bat. Dilshan called him through after chopping one to point, but sharp work in the infield and a good throw over the stumps caught Jayawardene short, before he faced a ball. Kumar Sangakkara’s demise for 1 from six balls was of his own making. He pushed out early against a slower Samuel Badree ball and lobbed a simple catch to the bowler.Dilshan lacked fluency, as he has done throughout the tournament, but combined sagely with Thirimanne for 42 to lift Sri Lanka from 49 for 3. He would run himself out too, haring out of the crease when there was no run to be had, but Thirimanne completed the recovery, striking two sixes – including an uppercut over third man off Andre Russell. Thirimanne’s innings was as secure as it was well-paced, setting the team up for a death-over spike, with wickets in the bank.Mathews had been tentative against Sunil Narine early in his innings, often having his outside edge beaten as he prodded. But having been 13 from 14 balls, he gathered pace against Santokie in the penultimate over, to help deliver a furious finish worth 32 in the final two overs. Mathews slammed Santokie over long-on first ball, before collecting a four in the same spot.Then, when West Indies strengthened the on side, he made room to loft a length ball over cover for four. A flat, fast six over cover next over was the shot of the innings, and a hooked four sent Sri Lanka to 160, before Mathews was athletically caught at deep midwicket by an advancing Bravo, last ball.Dwayne Smith slogged a four then launched a six off the first two balls of the reply, but following that over, West Indies slowed almost to a stall – first by choice, then by coercion. Malinga arrived in the Powerplay and in his first over bowled Gayle, then Smith with offcutters, before Llendl Simmons was out lbw to Seekkuge Prasanna’s first ball of the tournament. At 34 for 3 in the eighth over, West Indies had backed themselves into a mighty corner.Bravo lashed out valiantly as Sri Lanka’s slow-bowling phalanx sought to tamp the run rate down even further. He walloped Rangana Herath and Prasanna over cover, but with Samuels flatlining at the other end and Sri Lanka’s fielders throwing themselves around to save boundaries, he could not quite spur a game-breaking charge. A Kulasekara slower ball had him caught at square leg as the required rate spiked over 12. When wild winds brought the downpour over the Sher-e-Bangla later in that over, Samuels was unbeaten on 18 from 29.

Ferguson signed by Renegades

Callum Ferguson was the first trade of 2014-15 season of the Big Bash League as he moved to Melbourne Renegades. The middle-order batsman had been with Adelaide Strikers for three years since the tournament’s inception in 2011.Ferguson enjoyed a fruitful Sheffield Shield season, averaging 56.50 from seven matches and helped South Australia to the final. His T20 numbers are less impressive – 262 runs in 16 innings for Strikers to go with an international career that is three matches old. However, Renegades coach Simon Helmot believed Ferguson fit their team’s needs well.”What we’re doing at the moment is recruiting to form a solid top order that will carry us through the next two, three years. This is just the first step,” he said. Renegades finished top of the table in 2012-13, but their performance slumped this past season with three wins in eight matches.Former Australia pacer Brett Lee has signed a one-year deal to continue with Sydney Sixers. Lee, 37, was excited to lead a pace attack that includes Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood but was cautious about his future. “As with every year, I’ll see how I feel at the end of the season but right now I am just excited to remain in magenta for another year and see if we can go one further next season,” he said.General Manager Dominic Remond was also pleased to renew the association. “Brett had a great season in BBL03, was our second leading wicket taker and bowled at the same pace he did as a 20-year old,” Redmond said. “His ability to close out an innings and hold his nerve in pressure situations shows he has lost none of the competitive spirit that has held him well over his career.”

وواصل: “شكرًا لجماهير الأهلي على الاستقبال والترحيب الحار الذي قدمتموه لي”.

وأكمل: “لا أستطيع الانتظار للعب من أجلكم، سأفعل كل ما بوسعي للرد على هذا الحب والاستقبال، كذلك إلى مدربي الجديد الذي عرف كيف يقنعني ويؤمن بي وبالطاقم والأشخاص في كل جزء داخل النادي”.

Doosra to be discussed with match referee – Hesson

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson has said his team would seek clarifications from the match referee on how West Indies offspinner Shane Shillingord’s illegal deliveries are policed

New Zealand coach Mike Hesson has said his team will seek clarifications from the match referee on how West Indies offspinner Shane Shillingford’s illegal deliveries are policed. Shillingford, who was suspended during the tour of New Zealand after both his conventional offspinner and the doosra were found to be breaching the 15-degree flex limit, will be playing his first international match after remedial work on his action. His doosra, though, remains illegal.”It’s quite hard to see how they actually police that,” Hesson said. “It’s all very well saying it, but do they call a batsman back if he bowls a doosra? It’s going to be an interesting discussion with the match referee.””Same with [Marlon] Samuels, he’s not allowed to bowl a quicker ball so we’ll certainly get some clarification on those two things.”Shillingford was reported during the second Test against India, in Mumbai, in November, and following testing was suspended in New Zealand in December. It was the second time he had been suspended due to an illegal action. Subsequent testing on March 4, again at the University of Western Australia in Perth, showed that his offspinner and straighter ball were within the regulations after remedial work. On his return, he grabbed 11 wickets in a first-class game at the Sabina Park, which also hosts the first Test, and Hesson remains wary of the threat.”He’ll get more bounce and turn over here whereas in New Zealand they tended to slide on a lot more,” Hesson said. “Shillingford seems to be their first-choice spinner, and [left-armer] Sulieman Benn is back in favour. None of our guys have faced a lot of him and, with his bounce and his height, he’s going to ask some different questions.”While West Indies’ spinners are likely to pose a lot of problems for the visitors, New Zealand’s batsmen will also have to contend with a stronger pace attack compared to what they faced at home. The return of Kemar Roach, who had been sidelined last season with a shoulder injury, comes as a boost to the home side.”It was excruciating pain, but I believe I am back now, and close to my best,” Roach said. “I just want to continue this form and go out in the park and give it a good shot.”

Mufarrej diz que ação dos atletas é justa e prioriza quitar os atrasados

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo teve um dia cercado de acontecimentos negativos na última quarta-feira. Na sede de General Severiano, corte de luz por falta de pagamento. No Estádio Nilton Santos, os jogadores resolveram, em forma de protesto aos salários atrasados, não falarem com a imprensa e não participar de nenhuma ação de marketing até que tais débitos sejam quitados.

Os jogadores do Botafogo vão completar dois meses de salários atrasados na próxima sexta-feira. A diretoria possui débitos em relação ao meses de maio e junho com os atletas, já que os funcionários receberam o pagamento referente ao quinto mês do ano.

Além disso, premiações referentes ao Campeonato Brasileiro e a Copa Sul-Americana também não foram pagas, além do direito de imagem – que não é ganho por todos os jogadores do elenco. Nelson Mufarrej, presidente do clube, se pronunciou por meio da assessoria de imprensa, classificando a ação de protesto dos jogadores como justa e, apesar de não citar data, promete que está correndo atrás dos pagamentos.

Foram profissionais a todo momento nos expondo o ponto de vista deles, em reuniões, com seriedade, priorizando os treinamentos acima de tudo. Estamos trabalhando com afinco para acertar o pagamento dos salários no mais curto prazo possível – afirmou.

O Botafogo está sem patrocinador máster desde o início do ano, quando o contrato com a Caixa Econômica Federal, que estampava sua marca na camisa do clube desde 2017, acabou. Internamente, o Alvinegro busca por novas fontes de renda por meio de patrocínios, mas os valores pautados em reuniões anteriores com empresas não chegou perto daquilo que a cúpula alvinegra considera como justo.

– As dificuldades não são poucas e temos exigido o máximo comprometimento de todas as áreas para aliviar o caixa e quitar esses débitos. Os Departamentos Comercial e Marketing estão empenhados na busca por novas receitas e entendemos que isso é a prioridade máxima no clube no momento – analisou o presidente.

MCC decide against bat Law change

It’s become a batsman’s game they say but the MCC have no plans yet to change the Law on the size of bats

It has become a batsman’s game they say but the MCC have no plans yet to change the Law on the size of bats.The MCC World Cricket Committee debated the impact of modern bats and, despite mixed views, concluded that a Law change was not yet necessary because the balance between bat and ball has yet to tip sufficiently far enough in favour of the batsman.It is often commented upon how the thickness of modern bats and the sizes of edges have transformed the game, with batsmen now able to hit the ball further, more consistently and often without remotely finding the middle.This was investigated by Imperial College London, who were commissioned by the MCC to conduct a study into the size of cricket bats through the ages.The report compared by a 1905 Gray Nicholls Ranjit bat the 1980 Powerspot and three more modern versions. It demonstrated that modern bats have bigger sweet spots, with much larger edges, and that the ball goes further when hit closer to the edge.In the five bats tested, the size of the sweet spot varied from only 80mm to 215mm in the middle and 60mm to 165mm for a thick edge. Not only was the 1905 bat was the least effective and the most modern bats possess the largest ‘middle’, there had been a measurable improvement since 2009.A scrutiny of ODIs since 1979 by Imperial also revealed the boundary count, and especially sixes, has increased dramatically.The cricket committee assessed the findings of the report and debated the consequences, such as the benefit of a greater number of boundaries for television viewers against the fairness for bowlers of more apparent mis-hits finding the rope.Consensus could not be found and it was decided to retain the current Law on the size of bats, contained in Appendix E of the Laws of Cricket, which only limit the length of the bat to 38 inches and the width to 4 ¼ inches.But it was noted that boundaries should be pushed out as far as is possible under heath and safety regulations to prevent batsmen gaining further advantage.
