Virender Sehwag, who missed the first two Tests of the England tour, has landed in England and is en route to join the Indian team later on Wednesday. Sehwag, who was ruled out for the first fortnight of the England series when the Indian selectors announced the Test squad on July 2, is expected to be available for the last two Tests. The Indians play a two-day tour match against Northants starting this Friday ahead of the third Test which starts in Birmingham next week.India would be optimistic about opening with their regular pair of Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir in Northampton and then in the third Test at Edgbaston. Gambhir has recovered from the left-shoulder injury he picked while fielding in England’s second innings at Lord’s. “He is sure for the next Test,” MS Dhoni said.Sehwag’s return would definitely be a shot in the arm for India, who have been completely outplayed in the series so far and are 2-0 down. It was in England that he scored his first century as an opener, at Trent Bridge in 2002, though he missed the 2007 tour.India lost their premier fast bowler Zaheer Khan to a hamstring injury on the first afternoon of the Lord’s Test, and England’s bowlers have completely dominated their batsmen, most of whom with the exception of Rahul Dravid have struggled to find their touch, form and at times even stand their ground.Sehwag had opted for a shoulder surgery after playing the IPL in May and was ruled out for at least two months including the tour of West Indies. When the selectors picked the squad, it came with a rider that Sehwag was given an additional two weeks rest to allow him to rest his shoulder. In Taunton, ahead of India’s first tour match against Somerset, Indian coach Duncan Fletcher indicated that he was not sure but predicted Sehwag could be back in time for the third Test.In Sehwag’s absence, India fielded three different opening combinations. The Tamil Nadu pair of M Vijay and Abhinav Mukund opened in the three-Test series in the Caribbean that India won 1-0. Gambhir had suffered a shoulder injury during the final round of the IPL, exacerbating an existing injury he claimed he originally picked during the World Cup final in April. Vijay, who was the third-choice opener in the past, struggled and got a tally of 72 runs in the three Tests against West Indies, a series where Abhinav made his debut and impressed scoring 147 runs.At Lord’s, Abhinav joined Gambhir, who was hit on the elbow while fielding in the second innings and batted down the order. Gambhir was then declared unfit to play in the second Test forcing Rahul Dravid to face the new ball in Abhinav’s company.

مرتضى منصور عن أزمة الجهاز الفني للزمالك: فيريرا يريد التزام نبيه بمقاعد البدلاء والأخير يبحث عن دور

كشف مرتضى منصور رئيس مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، حقيقة وجود أزمة داخل الجهاز الفني للفريق الكروي الأول.

وقال منصور في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “الزمالك”: “كل ما تردد بشأن وجود خلاف بين جيسفالدو فيريرا وأسامة نبيه غير صحيح”.

وأضاف: “نبيه يشعر بأنه يجب أن يكون له دور، هناك مدربين يسمحون بذلك واخرين لا يسمحون، هو يرى أنه يجب على اسامة عدم القيام من على دكة البدلاء”.

وواصل: “فيريرا تفاجىء بأن اسامة نبيه يقول له إنه أمامه فرصة في مكان أخر”.

وأردف: “أسامة أدى دوره على أكمل وجه، نقول له شكرًا ولا نشعل ثورة قبل مباراة الداخلية بيوم”.

وتابع: “أسامة نبيه اتصل بي وأبلغني بأنه لديه عرض من نادي أخر”.

واستكمل: “عقب مباراة الداخلية سأجتمع مع فيريرا لاختيار بديل أسامة نبيه، وإذا لم يريد مساعد له فلا أزمة”.

وأكد : “أسامة نبيه أدى مرحلة ويجب أن نشكره، يكفي أنه قدم لنا نجله يوسف”.

وأوضح: “اجتمعت مع اللاعبين بسبب الحجز على الأرصدة، كان لهم جزء من المستحقات وعلى يوم الأربعاء المقبل لا يوجد لاعب سيكون له مليم في الزمالك، لاعبو الزمالك رجال ولم يطلبوا مستحقاتهم واخذوا قرار بعدم الحديث عن أي مليم إلا بعد رفع الحجز عن أرصدة النادي”.

وأتم: “أما ما تردد بشأن رغبة الزمالك في التعاقد مع مروان عطية، فليس كل ما يعرف يقال ولا تعليق”.

Solanki and Richardson put Worcestershire in control

Vikram Solanki’s first County Championship century for 14 months enabled Worcestershire to take maximum batting points for the first time this season

19-Jun-2011
Scorecard
Vikram Solanki’s first County Championship century for 14 months enabled Worcestershire to take maximum batting points for the first time this season in their clash with Division One relegation rivals Hampshire at New Road.Daryl Mitchell declared at 403 for 8 as soon as Solanki was dismissed for 173 after batting for almost six hours and 36-year-old Alan Richardson unsettled Hampshire with 3 for 52 in two spells until they closed 171 behind at 232 for 7.Liam Dawson was caught behind from the sixth ball of the innings – giving Richardson his 400th first-class wicket in a 16-year career with four counties – and Michael Lumb made only 6 on his first Championship outing of the season.Lumb went leg-before to Gareth Andrew’s third delivery but with Australian Damien Wright having come to the end of his stint in the overseas slot, Worcestershire’s back-up bowlers were unable to sustain the initial breakthrough.Held up for 17 overs by Jimmy Adams (52) and Neil McKenzie (37), they had to wait for Richardson’s reappearance before regaining momentum. Adams survived a low chance to second slip after completing 50 from 70 balls but then played on as Richardson claimed wickets in successive overs. McKenzie was next to go when the experienced seamer knocked back his middle stump.With Richardson resting again after testing all the batsmen, Hampshire milked some dismal bowling. James Vince made 50 before he was bowled by Jack Shantry after putting on 95 in 16 overs with Nic Pothas (60), but the follow-on target of 254 had still not been cleared when Shakib Al Hasan claimed two late wickets in six balls.At the start of this month Wright and Richardson were the most successful new-ball pairing in the Championship with 61 wickets as Worcestershire moved 15 points clear of Hampshire by beating champions Nottinghamshire.Now given an opportunity to go for back-to-back wins for the first time in four separate seasons in Division One, they made the running thanks to Solanki’s best performance since relinquishing the captaincy last August. Resuming at 250 for 4, he completed his hundred from the first ball he faced and went on to dominate proceedings in the third century partnership of the innings.Shakib contributed 54 out of 109 in an unexpected Championship appearance as stand-in for Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal, who is due to arrive in the country on Monday after delays over his visa.Dominic Cork revived Hampshire with a lively new-ball spell in which he removed Shakib and Andrew with slip catches and the captain also held an over-the-shoulder chance at long off to dismiss Solanki after he had hit 25 fours and a six. That gave Dimitri Mascarenhas a tidy return of 3 for 76 in 28 overs.

Devendra Bishoo: “When I came on to bowl I didn’t look too far ahead. I concentrated on what I wanted to do with each ball”•AFP

West Indies coach Ottis Gibson has praised the composure shown by legspinner Devendra Bishoo, who picked up four wickets on Test debut, as Pakistan were bowled out for 160 in their first innings in Guyana.”Judging from his debut in World Cup a few months back he has showed signs of being a very intelligent bowler,” Ottis said. “He showed he has the ability to handle himself when he’s put under pressure and that’s a very good sign.”He only had 226 to bowl at but he didn’t show any nerves. He has been very adaptable and handled the situation very well. Today, Umar Akmal came at him quite hard and he responded very well. He varied his pace and demonstrated he knows exactly what he’s doing.”Bishoo, who was the highest wicket-taker for his side with figures of 4 for 60, said his focus had been on getting the ball “in the right areas”. “I tried to stick to what I normally do,” Bishoo said. “I came here today and I knew once I got the ball in the right areas I would get some wickets.”When I came on to bowl I didn’t look too far ahead. I concentrated on what I wanted to do with each ball and how I would attack each batsman. I got a lot of support from the guys on the field and everyone in the dressing room. It was also good the crowd was behind me.”Bishoo, who was the highest wicket-taker for West Indies in the ODI series, said the wicket of opposition captain Misban-ul-Haq, who became his first Test victim, lbw for 2, set the tone for him for the rest of the innings.”My first wicket was a relief,” Bishoo said. “I knew I got him ‘dead’ in front. He’s the main batsman so to get him so early on was a great feeling. The team needed me to come in and do the job at that stage and I was happy I delivered.” Bishoo’s other three victims were Asad Shafiq, Akmal and Mohammad Salman.The hosts ended the second day on 34 for 2, giving them an overall lead of 100 runs.

Quem também recebeu elogios do novo comandante foi o goleiro Mailson, que fez boas ações durante a partida.

“Mailson me passa bastante segurança. Posso falar porque fui goleiro. Acho que ele teve uma grande atuação. Saiu bem do gol quando precisou, teve uma reposição de bola muito boa, e a gente não precisa queimar etapas com Magrão”, afirmou.

MatériaMais Notícias

O volante André Moritz se machucou durante o treinamento do Avaí, nesta quinta-feira, enquanto fazia atividade para finalização. O jogador sofreu uma luxação no ombro e deve ficar fora do duelo com o São Bento, neste final de semana. A expectativa, no entanto, é que o atleta ganhe condições para jogar o clássico com o Figueirense, no dia 12 de maio.

– Ele teve um trauma no treino de finalização, foi em uma queda acidental, e sofreu uma luxação no ombro esquerdo de grau 2. Medicamos e melhorou bastante a gente, fizemos as radiografias para ver se teve uma lesão um pouco mais séria e constatou isso. Agora, para a capacidade de jogar sábado, eu diria que tem um curto espaço de tempo para recuperação. Providenciamos um imobilizador para ombro para ajudar na estabilidade e na segurança do ombro. Temos que ver se vai estar confortável para jogar essa partida ou aguardar mais uma semana para liberá-lo – disse Luis Fernando Funchal, médico do clube.

André Moritz ainda não entrou em campo como titular sob o comando do técnicoGeninho. Com o ex-treinador Claudinei Oliveira, ele vinha ganhando oportunidades mas acabou sofrendo uma lesão muscular e teve que se afastar dos gramados.

Racing x Vasco: as semelhanças em uma história repleta de conquistas

MatériaMais Notícias

Com histórias centenárias, Racing e Vasco se enfrentam na noite desta quinta-feira, na Argentina, pela Conmebol Libertadores. Em campo será mostrada a rivalidade entre as equipes na busca da vitória para a sequência da caminhada na competição internacional, mas fora das quatro linhas as semelhanças entre os times de Avellaneda e do Rio de Janeiro traduzem conquistas históricas que brindam os torcedores apaixonados.

As conquistas começam no ineditismo consagrado no século passado. O Vasco, fundado em 21 de agosto de 1898, hoje com 119 anos, é marcado por ser um clube que desde o seu início prega, por exemplo, a democracia e a inclusão. Em 1948, com o “Expresso da Vitória”, o Cruz-Maltino conquistou o Campeonato Sul-Americano de Clubes. Realizada no Chile, a competição foi a primeira de magnitude promovida no continente.

Esta competição, inclusive, vale lembrar, serviu de parâmetro para a criação da UEFA Champions League e, depois, da própria Conmebol Libertadores, vencida pelo Vasco em 1998 e que vai a campo nesta quinta-feira contra o Racing por este mesmo torneio. O título vascaíno de 1998 é considerado precursor, já que foi o primeiro conquistado pelo futebol brasileiro no exterior. Já o Racing faturou como o primeiro na Argentina o principal torneio do futebol mundial.

Esta história do Racing aconteceu no ano de 1957. Na mesma oportunidade que chegou ao topo sul-americano, o time de Avellaneda bateu o Celtic, da Escócia, e faturou a Copa Intercontinental. Até então, ninguém mais na Argentina tinha conquistado uma competição deste porte. Foi isto que motivou, inclusive, a alcunha “O Primeiro Grande” carregada pelos torcedores do Racing. O Vasco, com a alcunha “Gigante da Colina”, também se assemelha neste sentido.

Isto rendeu até uma brincadeira entre as redes sociais de Racing e Vasco ao longo da última terça-feira. Foi adotada a hashtag #GigantesDaAmérica. A interação ganhou os torcedores dos times (confira abaixo a sequência de postagens).

Estas semelhanças de conquistas se estendem para as arquibancadas. Os torcedores de Vasco e Racing possuem profunda importância nas histórias de conquistas de seus respectivos clubes. No Vasco, em 1927, os cruz-maltinos se mobilizaram e construíram São Januário, que completou 90 anos de existência em 2017. As três principais ações para angariar verbas foram atrair novos sócios, conhecida como “Campanha dos 10 mil”, contribuições individuais e o lançamento de debêntures no mercado (títulos de créditos ao portador).

De certa forma, esta ajuda da torcida também influenciou na história do Racing. Os alvicelestes conseguiram evitar a falência do clube em 1999. As dívidas chegaram a US$ 30 milhões (R$ 102,1 milhões). Na época, a Justiça da Argentina decretou a falência da instituição. Três dias depois da falência decretada, o Racing receberia o Talleres em sua casa, e mesmo sabendo que não teria jogo, os torcedores ignoraram a decisão judicial e lotaram o estádio – mais de 30 mil pessoas compareceram. Este fato motivou o recuo da Justiça, que daria nova chance para o Racing se reerguer.

Estes são exemplos das semelhanças entre os clubes em uma história repleta de conquistas. Mas as semelhanças não param por aí: tanto o Racing quanto o Vasco querem o título da atual edição da Conmebol Libertadores. Para isso, terão que um atrapalhar a história do outro na caminhada deste ano. Circunstância do futebol que poderá ser acompanhada no jogo de ida entre os times pelo grupo 5 na noite desta quinta-feira.
