Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey still have plenty to offer the Australian middle order and will play in the Boxing Day Test against India, according to Mickey Arthur, the team’s coach. Arthur, who is also a selector, said there had been no discussions by the new selection panel on how to plan for the exits of Ponting and Hussey, the two oldest members of Australia’s side.Ponting, who will be 37 by Boxing Day, is still searching for his first Test hundred in nearly two years. His two dismissals in the loss to New Zealand in Hobart reignited debate over his position in the side, after a pair of half-centuries in the previous two Tests had eased the pressure on him. Hussey, 36, had a terrific tour of Sri Lanka but just endured the two least productive series of his career.However, despite the fragility of Australia’s batting at Bellerive Oval, where David Warner was the only man to pass fifty, Australia are reluctant to make too many changes ahead of the India series. Shane Watson is expected to return from a hamstring injury but Shaun Marsh now appears unlikely to reclaim his place after being withdrawn from the tour match against India due to his ongoing back problem.Phillip Hughes is expected to be axed, but Hughes for Watson might now be the only alteration to the batting order. It had been expected that one of the other batsmen, possibly Usman Khawaja, would have made way for Marsh. A likely Australian top six for Boxing Day appears to be Watson, Warner, Khawaja, Ponting, Michael Clarke and Hussey.”I think he should [play on],” Arthur said of Ponting after the Hobart Test. “I’ve had a chat already to [selector] Rod Marsh . . . we’re trying to give ourselves a bit of direction to Boxing Day. I still think Ricky fits very firmly in that picture.”We’re certainly not managing yet how they [Ponting and Hussey] go out of the side. In my opinion they’ve still got big roles to play because we do need some experience within our middle order, there’s no doubt about it. They bring that experience that we need. We haven’t even come to any thought on how we manage any exit on any of those players. The key for us is the get them up firing … on Boxing Day, because they’re key.”The anticipated return of Watson will be a boost to Australia’s team balance, provided he is fully fit to bowl, and they are planning to have Watson fly to Melbourne early to be assessed. Key to that assessment will be determining how much of a bowling load they can give Watson, who hurt his hamstring while bowling in last month’s Johannesburg Test.Arthur said the time had come for the Australian team management to decide what role Watson needed to play in the Test side. He has been one of the most important bowlers over the past year and a half, with his ability to swing the ball and make the batsmen play, but his bowling workload appears to have affected his batting. Arthur said there might come a time when Watson has to move down the order.”It’s been speculated a huge amount,” Arthur said. “I think we’ve got to come to a point now where we make a decision on where Shane is going to bat in the batting order, and how many overs we expect of Shane so there can be no more debate around the issue. We probably need to give him role definition before the Boxing Day Test match.”The Australians flew out of Hobart on Tuesday after their shock seven-run loss to New Zealand knowing that plenty of work remains before they take on India. There were some positives, notably the emergence of Warner and James Pattinson as strong Test players, and they are expected to play significant roles in the four-Test series against India.But the brittle top and middle order is the major concern. And unless the two oldest players in the team stand up, it will remain that way.

Santos libera David Braz e Vecchio de jogo e ambos se aproximam de adeus

MatériaMais Notícias

O zagueiro David Braz pode deixar o Santos nos próximos dias. Nesta quinta-feira, o clube informou que o jogador está sendo negociado e, por isso, não enfrenta o Botafogo, neste sábado, no Rio de Janeiro, pela 17ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Nesta quinta-feira, o defensor recebeu uma oferta doSivasspor, da Turquia, mesmo time do atacante Robinho. A informação a respeito da proposta foi inicialmente publicada pelo Globoesporte.com.

Titular e um dos capitães do elenco, o camisa 14 tem enfrentado certa rejeição e impaciência da torcida e a tendência é que deixe o clube. A oferta é de um ano de empréstimo, com valor de compra fixado em contrato. Aos 31 anos, o jogador está em sua segunda passagem pelo Peixe.

Quem também não enfrenta o Botafogo é o meio-campista Emiliano Vecchio, outro com proposta em mãos e boas chances de deixar o Alvinegro. O jogador tem uma oferta de um clube árabe e a tendência é que concretize sua transferência nas próximas horas, já que as conversas estão adiantadas.

Vecchio tem 29 anos e atualmente é reserva do time do Santos. O meia argentino nunca conseguiu se firmar entre os principais jogadores da equipe, embora tenha sido bastante utilizado pelo ex-técnico Jair Ventura no começo de 2018. No total, são 17 jogos no ano.

Final chance for Dilshan the captain?

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.”

LANCE! Espresso: Histórico! Brasil tem 1º jogo com decisão de árbitro mudada após uso do VAR

MatériaMais Notícias

Dia 2 de agosto de 2018. Agora é oficial: Bahia x Palmeiras, na Arena Fonte Nova, marcou a estreia definitiva do árbitro de vídeo no futebol brasileiro. Implantado na Copa do Brasil a partir das quartas de final, o VAR alterou pela primeira vez em competições nacionais uma decisão do árbitro de campo. No segundo tempo, em contra-ataque veloz do Verdão, Artur foi derrubado na área por Gregore. Anderson Daronco assinalou a penalidade e na sequência expulsou o volante do Bahia. O juiz, no entanto, retardou a cobrança para esperar a revisão da jogada pela equipe de arbitragem de vídeo, chefiada na partida por Leandro Vuaden. Avisado por rádio, Daronco fez o gesto que ficou famoso na Copa da Rússia, o desenho de uma tela de TV com as mãos, e revisou o lance à beira do campo. Ele manteve a penalidade, mas retirou a expulsão de Gregore, aplicando apenas cartão amarelo. Por ser a primeira vez que a interferência ocorre por aqui, é um avanço. Mas o tempo despendido pela arbitragem para tomar uma decisão final, entre a primeira marcação e a retomada do jogo, foi longo demais, quase seis minutos. Na Copa do Mundo, a média por jogo não ultrapassou 80 segundos. É um aspecto importante a ser avaliado em um procedimento que é novo e depende de ajustes para melhorar a qualidade do espetáculo.

مدرب إنتر ميامي يرد على أنباء الاهتمام بضم ميسي وبوسكيتس

تحدث الإنجليزي فيل نيفيل، المدير الفني لفريق إنتر ميامي، عن إمكانية انتقال ليونيل ميسي، لاعب باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي، وسيرجيو بوسكيتس، قائد برشلونة، إلى النادي الأمريكي.

وقال نيفيل في تصريحات لصحيفة “التايمز”: “لن أنكر عدم صحة التكهنات القائلة بأننا مهتمون بميسي وبوسكيتس، نريد أن نحضر هنا أفضل اللاعبين في العالم، بالنسبة للدوري الأمريكي، سيكون هذا بمثابة تغيير كبير”.

وينتهي عقد ليونيل ميسي الحالي، بنهاية الموسم، ويرغب النادي الباريسي في تمديد عقده سنة إضافية، لكن قائد الأرجنتين لم يتخذ قرارًا حاسمًا حتى الآن بشأن مستقبله، خاصة في ظل ارتباطه بالعودة إلى برشلونة أو الذهاب إلى الدوري السعودي.

كما ينتهي عقد قائد برشلونة، سيرجيو بوسكيتس، بنهاية الموسم الحالي أيضًا، ويريد الرحيل إلى الدوري الأمريكي، مع وجود عرض من النصر السعودي، لكن إدارة النادي الكتالوني تريد بقاء اللاعب مع راتب أقل.

Marcinho e Matheus Fernandes estão suspensos contra o Atlético-MG; Valencia gera polêmica

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo perdeu dois jogadores para o próximo jogo pelo Campeonato brasileiro, contra o Atlético-MG, no próximo domingo. Além do volante Matheus Fernandes, expulso, o lateral-direito Marcinho levou, diante do Paraná, o terceiro cartão amarelo dele neste Campeonato Brasileiro.

A suspensão da dupla não vale, obviamente, para quinta-feira, quando a equipe alvinegra encara o Nacional-PAR, pela Copa Sul-Americana. No fim de semana, eles deverão ser substituídos por Luis Ricardo e Jean. Quem foi desfalque neste domingo e é dúvida para quinta-feira é o centroavante Kieza.

O centroavante já não atuou em Curitiba por um incômodo na coxa direita e será reavaliado neste início de semana.

Após a partida contra o Paraná, no Durival Britto, o meia Valencia gerou polêmica nas redes sociais. O chileno publicou uma história no Instagram com os dizeres, em tradução livre: “Tem uma hora que cansa”, e emoticons que remetem a palavrões.

A torcida botafoguense, que já não é das mais pacientes com o camisa 10, logo se manifestou com reclamações sobre a atuação do jogador. A publicação foi apagada em seguida.

Sarkar helps Bangladesh Under-19s seal series

Bangladesh Under-19s took an unassailable 4-2 lead in their seven-match one-day series against England Under-19s, after beating them easily in Sylhet

ESPNcricinfo staff31-Jan-2012
ScorecardBangladesh Under-19s took an unassailable 4-2 lead in their seven-match one-day series against England Under-19s, beating them by six wickets in Sylhet. The hosts took just 42.5 overs to chase England’s total of 206 thanks to an aggressive 86 from Soumya Sarkar, the highest score by a Bangladesh batsman in the series so far. Sarkar dominated a 97-run partnership for the second wicket with Salman Hossain that put the chase on track. He was dismissed in the 33rd over, but Mosaddek Hossain ensured there were no hiccups with a 40-ball 51.England’s 206 had been their highest total batting first in the series, but they would have disappointed with it after a positive start. Daniel Bell-Drummond, the leading run-getter in the series, scored a brisk 51 and had got England to 92 for 1 in the 23rd over before he was dismissed. A flurry of wickets followed and England were soon 101 for 5. The run-rate slowed and though England managed to bat out the 50 overs, the lack of wickets in hand meant it was hard for them to pick up the pace.
