Luke Wells defied Surrey’s bowlers for more than five hours but Sussex were still a long way from securing an unlikely victory at the close of day three

George Dobell at The Oval07-Apr-2012
ScorecardPerhaps Luke Wells felt he had some wrongs to right for, on the ground where his father’s Test career started and ended in a flash, Wells junior produced an impressive display of defiance to take this game into a fourth day.It was at The Oval in 1995 that Alan Wells, then a veteran of Sussex and the county game, was called-up for a long overdue Test debut. Confronted with Curtly Ambrose at his best, Wells was unfortunate that the first ball he received was a brute of a delivery that reared up to his throat. There was little he could do other than parry a catch to short leg. While he made an unbeaten 3 in the second innings, the England selectors never called again.Luke Wells was only four at the time. But, on his first senior appearance on this ground, he has produced a performance that should have exorcised a few ghosts. When Sussex slipped to 173 for 7 in pursuit of an unlikely victory target of 342, it appeared Surrey’s first win in the top division of the Championship since 2007 was imminent. But Wells, with some steadfast support from the Sussex tail, produced an innings that should have put the profligacy of more senior players on both sides to shame.The 21-year-old left-hander got off the mark with an elegant cover drive to the boundary. But it was not so much his strokeplay that impressed – there are at least two dozen highly talented young English batsmen who can put bat to ball in attractive fashion – but the way he defended and the way he left the ball. Few of his contemporaries have the ability – or the inclination – to bat all day but Wells, who has already resisted for more than five hours in this innings, has shown there is substance behind his style.He is already a man on the radar of the England selectors. He was part of the ECB’s Performance Programme over the winter and spent some time in Sri Lanka playing first-class cricket. His modest results there suggest there is still work to be done against spin bowling but he has the skill and the character to progress a long way.Some of his colleagues could learn from such restraint. Joe Gatting had helped add 52 for the fourth wicket when, inexplicably, he lofted a catch directly to the fielder on the long-on boundary, while Amjad Khan spoiled his hour of resistance by mistiming a slog to mid-off. It was hard to avoid a conclusion that both strokes demonstrated a lack of application.The top order were less culpable. An outstanding spell of fast bowling from Stuart Meaker skimmed the cream of the Sussex batting away within a few overs. To defeat batsmen as accomplished as Ed Joyce and Murray Goodwin for pace – both they and Ben Brown fell victim to fast, full balls that may have nipped back a fraction – says much for Meaker’s ability and he was comfortably the pick of Surrey’s seamers.It was odd, then, that Surrey’s bowlers spent so much of the day thumping the ball into the middle of the pitch. Jade Dernbach eventually had Naved Arif taken at leg gully, but generally he and Chris Jordan bowled far too short.Jon Lewis enjoyed a memorably day, though. The wicket of Chris Nash, chopping on to his stumps as he attempted a repeat of a backfoot drive that had just brought him two delightful boundaries, provided the 36-year-old seamer’s 800th first-class victim. While 771 of them came for Gloucestershire – the first way back in 1995 – Lewis’ skill, discipline and experience should prove invaluable in an attack that possesses a great deal of talent, but not so much nous.Earlier Lewis and Meaker also played their role with the bat. The pair extended their ninth-wicket stand to 57 before James Anyon claimed the wicket that secured a much-deserved fourth five-wicket haul of his career.Barring a minor miracle, Surrey will not be denied on the fourth day. Sussex still require 102 and there is precious little batting to come. But had Lewis and Meaker not added those runs and had Wells had just a little more support, things might have been markedly different.Edited by Alan Gardner

ESPNcricinfo previews the fifth ODI between South Africa and Sri Lanka in Johannesburg

The Preview by Abhishek Purohit21-Jan-2012Match factsJanuary 22, Johannesburg
Start time 1000 (0800 GMT)There have been plenty of calls for Tillakaratne Dilshan to be sacked•Getty Images

The Big PictureIt is hard to believe that less than ten months ago, Sri Lanka were World Cup finalists. After the heartbreak of April 2, 2011, they have lost series to England, Australia, Pakistan and now South Africa. Tillakaratne Dilshan’s helpless, yet inwardly hurting, visage has been a common sight in all those defeats. Sunday’s game could be Dilshan’s last as Sri Lanka captain. There have been calls back home to sack him as leader. Some even want him to be dropped from the side. They want change.What is being forgotten is that it is not only Dilshan who has failed. Sri Lanka’s senior batsmen have consistently failed. Their fast bowlers have picked up more injuries than wickets. The hunt for a match-winning spinner continues. To hold Dilshan responsible for all these failures is to ask the world of what was only a stop-gap appointment.It hasn’t helped that leadership does not come to Dilshan as naturally as attacking batting does. The only way he knew was to lead by example, and on that count, he has definitely failed. Even more revealing than a disappointing batting average of 19.95 has been his bowling return of three wickets at 129.33. Dilshan the bowler was Sri Lanka’s partnership breaker. Dilshan the captain has turned Dilshan the bowler into a default Plan B. When the wickets are not coming, he brings himself on. When the runs are flowing, he brings himself on. It shows cluelessness, it shows desperation, and it hasn’t worked.Dilshan finally put it together in the fourth ODI with an innings that seemed to have shaken off the shackles binding him. Sri Lanka took the cue from their captain and an uninhibited Thisara Perera blazed them to their first win of the series. If this indeed turns out to be Dilshan’s final game as captain, he would want his side to play like he has throughout his career. Without apprehension.Sri Lanka’s struggles have made AB de Villiers’ first series as captain much easier than he would have thought. There were signs of panic, though, when Perera started to hit out. Suddenly, the fielding came down several notches, catches were spilled and de Villiers lost control over proceedings. He admitted after the game to have erred tactically. There will be time for him to learn on the job. A win in South Africa’s final game of the home summer season would not be a bad start on the learning curve.Form guideSouth Africa LWWWL
Sri Lanka WLLLLWatch out for …The under-pressure Graeme Smith made only his second half-century in 17 innings in Kimberley. At the very least, his 68 has silenced the critics till Sunday. Another failure will renew the calls for him to be dropped from the limited-overs side. South Africa’s Test captain can do without such added pressure ahead of the tours of New Zealand and England. He needs one more meaty performance tomorrow.For a proud performer who has looked in supreme touch in the previous two matches, Kumar Sangakkara’s 77 runs for the series don’t do him justice. He was run-out after a mix-up in Bloemfontein while what should have been a six was turned into a catch by Alviro Petersen in Kimberley. Will he have better luck in Johannesburg?Team newsRobin Peterson has taken only four wickets in four games and hasn’t been able to squeeze the flow of runs as well. South Africa have run out of reasons to deny Johan Botha, a better batsman than Peterson, a place in the XI. Albie Morkel was “rested” for the fourth ODI after having bowled ten overs in three games. Both Albie and Botha could play tomorrow. That will mean Vernon Philander and Peterson sit out.South Africa: (probable) 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Alviro Petersen, 3 Colin Ingram, 4 AB de Villiers (capt & wk), 5 JP Duminy, 6 Faf du Plessis, 7 Albie Morkel, 8 Johan Botha, 9 Wayne Parnell, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe.Sri Lanka would not want to tinker with the XI that won in Kimberley. That means the offspinner Sachithra Senanayake could get another game ahead of Dhammika Prasad.Sri Lanka: (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan (capt), 2 Upul Tharanga, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Dinesh Chandimal, 5 Lahiru Thirimanne, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Thisara Perera, 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Rangana Herath, 11 Sachithra Senanayake/Dhammika PrasadPitch and conditionsThe Wanderers will have a pitch with more bounce than any of the four venues where the ODIs have been played. Sri Lanka don’t enjoy bounce; South Africa do.Johannesburg has had quite a bit of rain of late and there is a chance of thunderstorms tomorrow.Stats and triviaSouth Africa have lost their previous two completed one-dayers at The Wanderers, the latter by one run to India a year agoWith 191 runs at an average of 63.66, Dinesh Chandimal has been Sri Lanka’s best batsman of the seriesQuotes”We want to finish strongly. 2-3 will be a fantastic result considering how we started this series.”
“We spoke about ruthlessness before this game [Kimberley] but we weren’t that ruthless. We wanted a whitewash but we didn’t do that. We want to make it 4-1 now.”

The fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), comprising nine teams and 76 matches, will begin on April 4 and conclude on May 27

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Jan-2012The fifth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), comprising nine teams and 76 matches, will begin and end in Chennai, with the opening match on April 4 and the final on May 27. The teams will play each other at home and away during a league phase consisting of 72 games at 12, possibly 13, venues, beginning with the defending champions Chennai Super Kings playing Champions League T20 winners Mumbai Indians.There won’t, however, be any matches in Sri Lanka, the BCCI apparently turning down a suggestion by Sri Lanka Cricket to stage a few games there.The Pune Warriors franchise will host eight games at the new stadium in Pune, subject to its completion. In 2011, Pune had to stage their ‘home’ games at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. Dharamsala and Visakhapatman will also host two games each, and Cuttack is listed as an alternate venue to Hyderabad for two matches.The first Qualifier, which will be contested by the top two teams in the league, and the Eliminator, contested by Nos. 3 and 4, will be held in Bangalore. Chennai will host the second Qualifier, which will be played between the winner of the Eliminator and the loser of the first Qualifier, and the tournament final.The tournament is scheduled to begin 12 days after the Asia Cup final and a week after the end of South Africa’s tour of New Zealand. At present there are three international series that will clash with the 2012 IPL and could affect player availability for both the franchises and the countries. Sri Lanka are hosting England in April, while West Indies host Australia and then travel to England in May.The next player auction for the IPL is scheduled for February 4.

Giles Clarke, the chairman of the ECB, has branded the end of the Investec Ashes “totally unsatisfactory” and called upon the ICC chief executive to change the regulations regarding bad light

George Dobell at The Oval25-Aug-2013

Giles Clarke, the chairman of the ECB, has branded the end of the Investec Ashes series at The Oval “totally unsatisfactory” and called upon the ICC chief executive, David Richardson, to change the regulations regarding bad light at the earliest opportunity.A full house crowd booed the umpires after they led the players from the pitch with England requiring 21 more runs from the final four overs of the match.It was a disappointing end to a dramatic final day that had seen 447 runs scored, 17 wickets taken and Kevin Pietersen score the fastest half-century by an England player in Ashes history after a bold declaration from Australia and a sustained run-chase from England.Set 227 to win in 44 overs, England appeared to be on the brink of the win that would have secured a record-breaking 4-0 victory – a score line they have never achieved in an Ashes series in England – before the umpires intervened.It left Clarke fuming. While he understood that the umpires had little choice but to end play – the ICC playing regulations state that they are obliged to take the players from the field once the light has dropped to the level it had been when deemed unfit for play earlier in the match – he felt there should be some flexibility to respect the requirements of a spectator sport.”It’s totally unsatisfactory the way the game ended,” Clarke said. “The rules are clearly unacceptable and I expect David Richardson to change it at the next ICC chief executives’ meeting.”Tempers also become frayed on the pitch. With Australia sensing that the game was slipping away from them and their fielders struggling to pick-up the ball, captain Michael Clarke brought his concerns to the attention of the umpires.When the umpires attempted to take light meter readings out of sight of Clarke, Aleem Dar seemed to gently push the Australian captain away. It left Clarke unimpressed.”I remember Aleem touching me and I asked him politely to not touch me because if I touched him I’d be suspended for three games,” Michael Clarke said. “That’s all I can really remember. I just know a player is not allowed to touch an umpire. But for me personally, I have absolutely no issue with it at all.”The umpires took the players off the pitch on the second day of the game due to bad light. At the time they took a reading on their light meters which, in accordance with ICC regulations, set a precedent for the rest of the game. Whether the light on either day could be considered to have suggested an “obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place”, as the regulations currently state, is debatable.Michael Clarke, at least, felt the light was considerably worse by the end of day five than it had been at the end of day two. He also felt it was worse than when the umpires had led the players from the pitch in Manchester when Australia were in the dominant position.”There was no comparison,” Clarke said. “I don’t think I’m going to get into the numbers but I remember seeing the reading when I got told we had to go off in Manchester and I stood in the middle of the wicket today and there was a big difference. But for us, we just have to go on the umpire’s call. If they think it’s safe to keep playing then we keep playing.”I just asked the question: why we haven’t got the meter out here? It took a few overs to get it out. Just going on what’s happened in the past through this Test series, you know around that time is generally when it’s getting close to when the umpires have consistently taken us off the field.”Alastair Cook, the England captain, also expressed his empathy with the umpires. While he was naturally disappointed to be denied a memorable win, he admitted it has become “pretty dark”. He also credited Australia for an enterprising declaration that had set-up a highly entertaining final day of the series.”It would have been nice to finish the game off,” Cook said. “But rules are there for a reason. It was pretty dark and the umpires have strict guidelines. If the boot had been on the other foot, we would have asked the same questions as the Australians.”Of course we understand the frustration. It’s a shame for an amazing crowd. But you can also see the other side of it. We understand the rules and regulations. The umpires have to take emotion out of the game and do their job. They have to be consistently fair to both sides.”It is disappointing to be sitting here when we felt we could have scored those runs in the final four overs, but I understand the umpires’ decision.”

O dia vinte e quatro de março de 2019 vai ficar marcado na vida de Igor Gomes. O jovem, revelado na base do São Paulo, marcou os dois gols da vitória sobre o Ituano por 2×1, no Morumbi, pelo jogo de ida das quartas de final do Paulistão. O LANCE! mostra a trajetória da nova joia do Tricolor.

Igor Gomes começou nas categorias de base do São Paulo em 2010, com onze anos, vindo do Tanabi, clube do interior de São Paulo. Logo ganhou destaque, sendo comparado até mesmo com Kaká, pelo estilo de jogo e também pelo porte físico. Ele logo afastou qualquer possibilidade de comparação.

– O Kaká tem a história dele, eu quero escrever a minha. Claro que sempre terão comparações, mas eu quero fazer a minha história. Acho até legal essa comparação, porque ele é um ídolo, uma pessoa que tenho como espelho. Legal ver que as pessoas estão vendo que estou seguindo o caminho certo – declarou ele ao site do São Paulo.

O jogador teve muito sucesso na base. Ele conquistou sete títulos nas categorias inferiores, entre eles duas Copas do Brasil Sub-20 (2016 e 2018), além de colecionar convocações para as categorias de base da Seleção Brasileira, sempre aparecendo no time titular da amarelinha.

Igor Gomes fez sua estreia pelo profissional do São Paulo no empate sem gols diante do Sport, em novembro do ano passado. Desde então, atuou somente mais três vezes, mas tem tudo para cavar um espaço no time titular do tricolor na sequência da temporada, especialmente após esta atuação de gala diante do ituano. Vale lembrar que como o jovem estava na Seleção sub-20 disputando o Sul-Americano, ele acabou perdendo a pré-temporada do clube, o que fez com que não ganhasse muitas oportunidades.

Nascido em São José do Rio Preto (SP), Igor é são paulino desde bebê. Após a vitória, o São Paulo postou uma foto no Twitter mostrando o jogador ainda pequeno com a camisa tricolor.

Em setembro do ano passado, Igor Gomes teve o seu contrato renovado até 31 de março de 2023. O valor da multa rescisória, porém, não foi divulgado.

Perguntado sobre a sua atuação no jogo contra o Ituano, Igor disse que realizou um sonho de criança e viveu um momento especial.

– Jogo no Morumbi desde o meu primeiro ano de Sub-20, quando ainda estava no processo de formação na base, e conheço muito bem o nosso estádio. E por isso foi tão especial este nosso retorno para casa. Logo no meu primeiro jogo como titular, no Morumbi, como atleta profissional, consegui fazer dois gols. É até difícil descrever este momento. Trabalhei duro, desde o período no CFA (Centro de Formação de Atletas), e felizmente agora posso festejar esse momento tão especial – comentou.

O tempo vai dizer se Igor Gomes terá sucesso. Estrela, ele mostrou que tem.

Offspinner Parvez Rasool has become the first cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir to earn a national call-up

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Jul-2013

Ins and outs

Out: M Vijay, R Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar
In: Ajinkya Rahane, Chetehwar Pujara, Parvez Rasool, Jaydev Unadkat and Mohit Sharma

Offspinner Parvez Rasool has become the first cricketer from Jammu & Kashmir to earn a national call-up. He is part of the ODI squad to tour Zimbabwe, which will be led by Virat Kohli in the absence of the injured MS Dhoni.Apart from Dhoni four others were rested, which resulted in a maiden call-up for Haryana and Chennai Super Kings seamer Mohit Sharma. Cheteshwar Pujara, who has played 13 Tests already, was in line for an ODI debut after being recalled to the limited-overs side. Medium-pacer Jaydev Unadkat, who has played one Test, was also back in the ODI squad, as was Ajinkya Rahane.Among those rested were R Ashwin (playing non-stop since the start of India’s home season last August), Ishant Sharma (non-stop since Zaheer Khan was dropped during the England series), Umesh Yadav (came back from an injury during the IPL) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (non-stop since Pakistan came to India in December). M Vijay, though, was dropped from the squad for the five ODI matches scheduled between July 24 and August 3.There was no place for the dropped seniors – Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Zaheer – in either the ODI side or the A team that will tour South Africa. Vijay, however, has been named in the A squad. His ODI comeback might have been terminated based on just one innings – and Pujara’s return to fitness – but his A team selection is a show of faith in him for the longer formats after he struck two 150s in his comeback Test series against Australia.A sign of how inexperienced the ODI team is, and how seriously the selectors are taking the A tour, is that 10 of the India players in Zimbabwe will be part of the A tour. The A team will be captained by Pujara, and includes the top-two wicket-getters in the 2012-13 Ranji season: quicks Ishwar Pandey and Siddarth Kaul. Wriddhiman Saha joined Dinesh Karthik as the wicketkeeper, and Karnataka allrounder Stuart Binny was also picked.Shahbaz Nadeem, who was the leading spinner in the Ranji season, has also been picked to partner Rasool in the A team’s tri-series against Australia A and South Africa A, and two four-day games against South Africa A.Rasool, who made his first-class debut for J&K in the 2008-09 season, has played 17 first-class matches, scoring 1003 runs and taking 46 wickets. He was named in the India A squad for a tour game against Australia in February this year, and also played his first IPL season for Pune Warriors.The other newcomer, Mohit, has played 11 first-class matches for 44 wickets over two seasons, and had an impressive season for Super Kings in IPL 2013. He picked up 20 wickets in 15 matches to emerge as one of the leading uncapped players of the tournament.India squad: Virat Kohli (capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, Cheteshwar Pujara, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Ajinkya Rahane, Ravindra Jadeja, Amit Mishra, Parvez Rasool, Shami Ahmed, R Vinay Kumar, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohit Sharma.India A squad: Cheteshwar Pujara (capt.), Shikhar Dhawan, M Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Dinesh Karthik, Ajinkya Rahane, Wriddhiman Saha, Parvez Rasool, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shami Ahmed, Stuart Binny, Ishwar Pandey, Jaydev Unadkat, Siddarth Kaul

كشفت تقارير صحفية أن لاعب فريق مانشستر سيتي، إيمريك لابورت، رفض فكرة الانتقال إلى صفوف فريق إنجليزي آخر هذا الصيف.

وأصبح مستقبل اللاعب صاحب الـ29 عامًا محل شك، بعدما تراجع دوره تحت قيادة المدرب بيب جوارديولا.

وسبق أن ذكرت تقارير صحفية أن لابورت قد يغادر ملعب “الاتحاد” في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي إذا تمكن بطل الدوري الإنجليزي من ضم مدافع مميز.

وحسبما ذكرت شبكة “فوتبول إنسايدر” الإنجليزية، فإن توتنهام تحرك لمعرفة مدى إمكانية الحصول على خدمات لابورت في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وأوضحت أن اللاعب الإسباني أبدى عدم اهتمامه بخطوة الانتقال إلى صفوف توتنهام، مما اضطر الأخير إلى البحث عن أهداف أخرى.

ومن المعروف أن العقد الحالي لـ لابورت مع بطل أوروبا سينتهي في يونيو 2025.

No Campeonato Brasileiro do ano passado, o Vasco, que brigou contra o rebaixamento, terminou como a quinta pior defesa da competição, com 48 gols sofridos. Enquanto isso, o Flamengo, que brigou pelo título, terminou como a terceira melhor no quesito, empatado com o Internacional, sendo vazada 29 vezes. Neste início da temporada 2019, porém, a situação se inverteu. Enquanto o time cruz-maltino tem a melhor defesa do Carioca, o rubro-negro só não foi vazado em dois jogos – contra Cabofriense e San José, da Bolívia.

No clássico deste sábado, o Vasco terá no setor defensivo a zaga que vem sendo titular, com os experientes Leandro Castán, de 32 anos, e Werley, de 30. Já pelo lado do Flamengo, visando o duelo com a LDU (EQU), na quarta-feira, pela Libertadores, o técnico Abel Braga deve poupar jogadores e há a possibilidade de a dupla defensiva ser formada pelos jovens Thuler e Hugo Moura, crias das categorias de base.

Até o momento, o Vasco levou gols em apenas dois jogos, na vitória por 5 a 2 sobre o Volta Redonda e no empate em 1 a 1 com o Botafogo.

– A explicação é o trabalho do Alberto (Valentim). Ele tem trazido a mentalidade de defender todo mundo junto na hora que nosso time está sem a bola. É um modo italiano e que ele tem sangue. Todo mundo comprou a ideia por saber a importância de se cumprir bem as funções dentro de campo. A linha defensiva precisa ser sempre bem compacta. Temos conseguido fazer isso muito bem – analisou Leandro Castan.

Antes do jogo contra a Portuguesa, pela segunda rodada da Taça Rio, o zagueiro Rodrigo Caio, que vem sendo titular ao lado de Léo Duarte (que ganhou posição após lesão de Rhodolfo) demonstrou incômodo com o fato de o time ter levado gols em quase todos os jogos, mas lembrou que, por outro lado, a resposta da equipe tem sido boa em relação aos resultados.

– Claro que nenhum zagueiro gosta de tomar gols, mas prefiro vencer os jogos e estamos fazendo isso. Para mim, isso é o mais importante em uma primeiro momento. Temos muitas coisas a corrigir, não só os gols que estamos tomando. Nossa equipe está em crescimento, equipe vai crescendo jogo a jogo. Tenho certeza que, no momento certo, vamos ficar jogos sem tomar gols, mas eu gosto de vencer os jogos e estamos fazendo isso.

Vale lembrar que Castán e Werley terminaram 2018 como titular da zaga vascaína, já sob o comando do técnico Alberto Valentim. No Fla, além da troca de Dorival Júnior por Abel Braga, houve a perda de Réver – que vinha sendo titular com Leo Duarte e foi para o Atlético-MG. Desta forma, o ano se iniciou com uma dupla nova, tendo Rodrigo Caio e Rhodolfo.
