Embalado com o título da Taça Guanabara no domingo, o Vasco voltou a campo na noite desta quarta-feira, no Kleber Andrade, em Cariacica (ES), e garantiu a classificação para a terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. O Cruz-Maltino derrotou o Serra por 2 a 0 – gols de Lucas Mineiro e Ribamar – e, com facilidade, passou da segunda fase da competição, embalando ainda mais para a sequência da temporada.

Com o resultado, o Vasco espera a definição do vencedor da partida entre Avaí ou Brasil de Pelotas, que se encontram em março – o confronto da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil ainda não tem data para acontecer. Pelo Campeonato Carioca, a equipe comandada pelo técnico Alberto Valentim volta a campo no sábado, na estreia da Taça Rio, segundo turno do Campeonato Carioca, diante do Botafogo, no Nilton Santos.

PRA CIMA DESDE O INÍCIO
O Vasco foi para cima desde o minuto inicial, já que neste jogo da segunda fase da competição não tinha vantagem do empate para qualquer um dos lados. Logo no minuto inicial, Danilo Barcelos cobrou falta direto, mas a bola passou por cima do goleiro Walter. Aos dez, uma polêmica: Rael foi derrubado, os jogadores do Serra pediram pênalti, mas a arbitragem não assinalou. Yago Pikachu ainda tentou aos 16.

DEIXA COM ELE!
Vivendo grande fase com a camisa do Vasco, Lucas Mineiro, mais uma vez, correspondeu e abriu o placar aos 26 minutos do primeiro tempo. Bruno César levantou na área e ele subiu mais alto para testar no canto esquerdo do goleiro do Serra, que não conseguiu evitar de a bola estufar as redes, Vasco 1 a 0. O Cruz-Maltino ainda teve chance antes do intervalo aos 36, em chute de Raul para milagre de Walter.

E DEU VASCO!
Atrás do placar, o Serra voltou para o segundo tempo mais motivado para o gol, com uma grande chance logo no minuto inicial, quando Pardal recebeu e mandou para Rael. Aos 11, Maxi perdeu grande chance e este ritmo persistiu, com aos 22 Rossi não chegando para finalizar e Peu dois minutos mais tarde quase empatando. No fim, aos 47, o Vasco fechou a vitória com Ribamar. Vitória ainda mais gratificante para os vascaínos, que estão em harmonia pela boa temporada até agora.

Pakistan’s collapse against the second new ball and determined batting from Tino Mawoyo and Hamilton Masakadza put Zimbabwe slightly ahead in the second and final Test

The Report by Abhishek Purohit12-Sep-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsBrian Vitori claimed his maiden Test five-for•AFP

Pakistan’s collapse against the second new ball and determined batting from Tino Mawoyo and Hamilton Masakadza put Zimbabwe slightly ahead in the second and final Test. Zimbabwe’s fast bowlers ripped through Pakistan on either side of lunch, the visitors collapsing from 211 for 4 to 230 all out. Mawoyo and Masakadza then built the lead to 185, but their dismissals, at the stroke of stumps, helped Pakistan to claw back.Brian Vitori, in his first Test in nearly 20 months, did most of the damage with the ball, claiming his maiden five-wicket haul, while Tinashe Panyangara dislodged the solid Younis Khan for 77. Zimbabwe’s efforts earned them a 64-run lead, to go along with a 78-run first-innings advantage in the first Test.Pakistan’s strategy in the morning seemed to be to try and get through to the ball change, due in 12 overs at the start, with their overnight pair of Misbah and Younis. That was a sensible thought, the pair having added 67 in a rebuilding effort the previous evening. But the manner in which both executed that strategy stalled Pakistan. Only 19 runs were added in the 12 overs leading up to the new ball, five of them from part-timer Elton Chigumbura.Admittedly, as on the previous day, run-scoring wasn’t easy on the pitch. The ball wasn’t quite coming on, the medium-pace and disciplined lengths of the Zimbabwe seamers weren’t helping and the cracks on the good length area would have been on the minds of the batsmen. Still, 48 runs from 28 overs in the morning session was too sluggish a scoring rate.After successfully making it to the new ball in his chosen way, Misbah decided to change his approach. The second delivery Vitori bowled with the new one, a wide one outside off, Misbah lunged to drive and edged to first slip for 33 from 120 balls. It was the third successive time in the series Misbah had fallen after getting a start and also the third successive time he had given it away trying a forcing stroke against the run of play.Asad Shafiq hung around for a while before he was bowled by a sharp incutter from Tendai Chatara, stuck on the crease in a dismissal identical to the way he had gone in the second innings of the first Test.Pakistan ran only eight singles in the first session and went to lunch on 211 for 5, still 83 behind Zimbabwe’s 294. After the break, Younis came out appearing intent to make amends for Pakistan’s sedate start. He drove at everything that was pitched up. Panyangara gave him three successive such deliveries, wide outside off, all of which were driven. The fourth one was bowled into the pad. Younis, with his instinct to push forward, could not keep the flick down and midwicket took the catch.It was mostly down to Adnan Akmal now, Abdur Rehman having gone lbw first ball to Panyangara. But unlike the second innings of the first Test, the wicketkeeper disappointed. He was beaten on the drive by Vitori, bowling from round the wicket, but went for a similar expansive stroke next ball, and was taken at second slip. Unlike Zimbabwe’s last pair, there was absolutely no resistance from Pakistan’s tail, Vitori snapping up the last two to end with 5 for 61.Zimbabwe were hampered at the start of their second innings, the ill Vusi Sibanda unable to open. The offspinner Prosper Utseya, who usually bats at No. 8, was promoted instead, but did not last long. Mawoyo and Masakadza, though, hung in to get through the 14 overs till tea. The often unplayable zip and movement Junaid Khan had generated in the first innings was absent, and that allowed the duo to settle in. Both drove well off the front foot, especially against the spinners.There were a few hiccups after tea, chiefly against Rehman. But luck favoured Zimbabwe. Masakadza played back and was beaten off two successive pitched-up deliveries from Rehman that stayed low, but just missed off stump. Rehman got the odd ball to kick from around the same spot, but was unlucky to miss the edge. When he found it, with Mawoyo on 52, Adnan dropped the catch.Rehman’s perseverance finally brought him just reward, with only two more overs left, as Mawoyo was trapped in front on 58 with an arm ball. Four deliveries later, Rahat rapped Masakadza on the pad, and umpire Steve Davis upheld the appeal, replays suggesting the ball may have missed off on the angle. Two deliveries later, Rehman struck again, having the nightwatchman Chatara pop one to short leg. Zimbabwe’s lead was 15 short of 200, but Rehman had ensured Pakistan were still in the game.

Warner was again gaining attention for the wrong reasons as he found himself in yet another heated altercation, this time with South Africa A’s wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile

David Warner was again gaining attention for the wrong reasons as he found himself in yet another heated altercation, this time with South Africa A’s wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile. Warner got into a war of words with Tsolekile during the final day’s play, with the pair having to be separated by South Africa A’s Vaughn van Jaarsveld, and the umpires having to intervene.Warner, however, termed the incident “friendly banter” as he took to Twitter after the match: “Great to be back playing cricket, had lots of fun this week and a bit of friendly banter from the wicket keeper. Was very funny!!”With Australia currently embroiled in an Ashes series, Warner had been sent on Australia A’s tour of South Africa and Zimbabwe with a focus on gaining meaningful match practice for the longer format, as he was suspended from playing the warm-ups leading up to the first Test following his altercation with Joe Root during the Champions Trophy. Only two days ago, Warner had admitted he needed a “kick up the bum” after that incident.That was not the first time Warner had been in the news for the wrong reasons this summer. In May, he was involved in a heated Twitter exchange with Australian journalists Malcolm Conn and Robert Craddock, for which he later issued a public apology, and was subsequently fined AUD $5750 (US $5600) by Cricket Australia for his indiscretions.The game itself ended in the draw that always looked likely. Australia A began the fourth day’s play with a 28-run partnership between openers Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh. Once Marsh departed for 11, Alex Doolan came in, with the pair putting on 105 runs for the second wicket. Doolan was later dismissed leg before by Kyle Abbott for 38. Warner came in at No. 4 and, fresh from his 193 in the first innings, struck six boundaries before being caught behind, ironically, by Tsolekile off Beuran Hendricks for 33.Wickets fell at regular intervals for the Australians, but the efforts of Finch (88), Doolan, and Warner ensured they batted out enough time to hold on to a draw in the first unofficial Test between these sides. Both teams will have a three-day break before they resume battle in the second unofficial Test in Rustenburg on July 31.

ESPNcricinfo previews the Group A match between England and Sri Lanka at The Oval

The Preview by Alex Winter12-Jun-2013Match FactsJune 13, 2013, The Oval
Start time 1pm (1200 GMT)Ravi Bopara has put in two usual performances since returning to the England ODI side•Getty Images

The Big PictureEngland were too rigid, too slow and too one-dimensional at Edgbaston – probably why they thumped Australia by 48 runs. The familiar concerns over England’s shortcomings were rolled out at lunch on Saturday, only to be wheeled away at the close. England have a knack for getting it right on the night, particularly in ODIs at home, and should they get the job done against Sri Lanka, they will be in the semi-finals.The scaremongering will emerge again over England’s batting – how will they survive Lasith Malinga’s toe-crushers? How will they find a way to score from Rangana Herath, who put England in a spin last March? They’ve never seen Sachithra Senanayake before. Their blasters with the bat are no good against slow bowling. You can see it is quite easy to descend into debilitating nervousness about the England line up.But England have their plans, England know their game and, more often than not, have been able to put in a performance with the bat. Anyone who left for the bar at Edgbaston after 40 overs of the first innings on Saturday would have been after a stiff measure to numb the pain of the previous 20 overs. By the interval, a response to England’s total of 269 would have included pleasant surprise and bewilderment at how they got there after their middle order was so quickly shot down.England found a way. Ravi Bopara played a great hand and his performances at Trent Bridge and Edgbaston were just what he was picked for: a handy few late-order runs and a tricky spell of slippery overs. Bopara balances England quite nicely and looking at the wickets from the opening Champions Trophy matches, pace off the ball is a good weapon.Sri Lanka needed more of it against New Zealand. Angelo Mathews admitted his selection was wrong in Cardiff. A second spinner would have forced New Zealand into doing more than drop-and-run and use the pace of the quicker men to nudge their way to the target. More of a threat then Tillakaratne Dilshan was needed. It was a bizarre oversight; especially considering New Zealand played two spinners.They were left relying on Malinga and even his best ideally needs more than 139 to work with. Sri Lanka’s dealing with the new balls – which haven’t done as much as might have been expected – and more pertinently, reverse swing, could decide the match.Form guide (Completed, competitive matches only, most recent first)
England WWLLW
Sri Lanka LLWLWWatch out forEoin Morgan hasn’t been firing on all cylinders since returning from the IPL but there have been some positive signs, the brightest of those his 49 in 40 balls at Trent Bridge. England’s tactics with the bat heavily rely on late-innings hitting and Morgan, along with Jos Buttler, is responsible for extricating England from their foundation-laying and is essential if they are to post a large total.Surrounded by flashy players, a more considered approach will be needed to overcome England’s bowling attack. Enter Mahela Jayawardene, very experienced and successful in England with three centuries and an average of 42.00 in 24 ODIs. His form has not been flash of late, but he has the ability to counter the reverse-swing that Sri Lanka will have to master later in the innings.Team newsEngland have Graeme Swann fit and available again after the back spasm that kept him out at Edgbaston. But James Tredwell never lets his country down which creates an interesting situation. Tim Bresnan’s wife is more than a week overdue with the couple’s first baby; the potential remains for Bresnan to be whisked up the M1.England (possible) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Ian Bell, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Ravi Bopara, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Stuart Broad, 11 James AndersonSri Lanka appear unlikely to play two spinners but could recall Nuwan Kulasekara in place of Shaminda Eranga who, in the circumstances, proved expensive in Cardiff. Senanayake may also replace Rangana Herath.Sri Lanka (possible) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Kusal Perera, 3 Mahela Jayawardene, 4 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 5 Dinesh Chandimal, 6 Angelo Mathews (capt), 7 Thisara Perera, 8 Lahiru Thirimanne, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Sachithra Senanayake, 11 Lasith MalingaPitch and conditionsThere will be a new wicket at The Oval which will suit England if it returns to the pace and bounce on show for the Pakistan-West Indies game. After a couple of rainy days, the weather forecast is also set fair.Stats and trivia England just edge the head-to-head record from the 20 ODIs played against Sri Lanka at home. England have won 11 and lost 9. The sides have met three times at The Oval, England winning twice – in 1988 and 2011 – and losing in 2006 England have won both previous Champions Trophy ties against Sri Lanka, both by comfortable margins. A six-wicket win at Johannesburg in 2009 followed a 49-run win at the Rose Bowl in 2004.Quotes”The first two games against New Zealand seem to be out of the way. We seem to have recovered a bit of form and confidence now.”

كشفت تقارير صحفية من تنزانيا أن ناديي الزمالك وبيراميدز المنافسين في الدوري المصري يرغبان في التعاقد مع صفقة هجومية قوية خلال الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل.

ودخل الزمالك وبيراميدز في صراع إفريقي شرس على ضم مهاجم يانج أفريكانز، فيستون ماييلي، هداف النسخة الماضية بطولة كأس الكونفدرالية الإفريقية برصيد 7 أهداف.

وبحسب شبكة “Mwanaspoti” التنزانية أن الزمالك وبيراميدز وكذلك الترجي التونسي قد قدموا عروضًا مميزة لضم الكونغولي ماييلي من يانج أفريكانز.

ويأتي ذلك في ظل رغبة يانج أفريكانز في تجديد عقد اللاعب الذي انتهى في 30 يونيو الماضي، وهو العرض الذي رفضه ماييلي رغم أنه بضعف الراتب الحالي أي أكثر من 34 مليون شلن تنزاني شهريًا (14 ألف دولار).

الجدير بالذكر أن ماييلي قد أقدم على خطوة قد قربته من الرحيل عن يانج أفريكانز، حيث كان يتواجد في معسكر الفريق وجمع كل متعلقاته الشخصية.

أكد محمد الشناوي حارس مرمى الفريق الأول بالنادي الأهلي، أنه كان لديه ثقة كبيرة في تحقيق بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا هذا الموسم، من ملعب الوداد المغربي.

الأهلي توج ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا للمرة الـ 11 في تاريخه بعد الفوز على الوداد المغربي بنتيجة 3-2 بمجموع مباراتي الذهاب والإياب.

وقال الشناوي خلال تصريحات لبرنامج مان تو مان المذاع على قناة أبو ظبي: “كنا محضرين بشكل جيد للمباراة، وعدنا بالبطولة، ولم يكن لدي شك بنسبة 1% أننا لن نعود بالبطولة من المغرب”.

وأضاف: “مباراة الذهاب في مصر أفضل لي، لأنها هي التي تبني عليها للمباراة الثانية خارج أرضك، كنا فائزين 2 – 1 في القاهرة وهي نتيجة مقلقة، لكن كنا نضع أكثر من سيناريو لمباراة الإياب، مباراة لم تكن مقلقة للاعبين قد تكون مقلقة للجماهير”.

وتابع: “جماهير الأهلي سعيدة بالبطولة الأخيرة ويصفونها بالأغلى، لكن ستظل بالنسبة للاعبين والإدارة البطولة الأغلى هي التاسعة، أولًا لأننا واجهنا الزمالك في نهائي يسمونه بنهائي القرن أمام الغريم التقليدي، ولن يتكرر مرة أخرى، وبعدها مباشرة الحادية عشر أمام الوداد لأننا حصد البطولة من الملعب الذي خسرنا عليه الموسم الماضي”.

وواصل: “نحن كنادي أهلي ولاعبين نضع كل هدف أمام أعيننا وكنا ننتظر الوقت الذي نواجه الوداد مرة أخرى، الموسم الماضي تفاجأنا بأننا سنواجه الفريق المغربي في ملعبه في نهائي من مباراة واحدة، شعرنا بالظلم، لكن عندما تكرر الأمر من مباراتين كنا مركزين على حصد اللقب لإسعاد الجماهير والإدارة”.

وأكمل: “نحن معتادين في الأهلي أن المركز الثاني مثل الأخير، يوجد نظام داخل المارد الأحمر وأي عنصر جديد يدخل علينا نتحدث معه عن ذلك، ودائمًا نلعب تحت ضغوط واعتدنا على ذلك”.

وأردف: “نستقبل اللاعبين الجدد ونجلس معهم ويكون دائمًا هناك محاضرات من سيد عبد الحفيظ والمدير الفني، ونتحدث معهم أن التعادل بمثابة خسارة، وندعمهم بشكل كبير ونعطيهم الثقة حتى يشاركوا بلا خوف”.

واستطرد: “واجهنا الوداد والرجاء على نفس الملعب، وجمهور الوداد مُختلف عن الرجاء، جماهير الوداد أشرس، ، ولكن نقول للاعبين إننا نلعب 11 ضد 11، والجماهير لن تنزل الملعب، وهم مجرد صوت، أنا أحد اللاعبين الذين لا يسمعون أي صوت خلال المباراة”.

وأكد الشناوي “كنت جاهزًا في المباراة الأولى أمام الوداد، ولكن كانت وجهة نظر المدير الفني ألا أشارك، أنا شاركت في التدريبات قبلها بـ 3 أيام فقط، والمدرب قال لي سنلعب على ملعبنا ووسط جمهورنا وأريد أن أحافظ عليك وسأحتاجك في مباراة الإياب لأنك أكثر خبرة، وأنا قلت له أحترم وجهة نظرك”.

وأوضح: “كولر كان يُفكر أنني لو شاركت وتعرضت لإصابة سيفقدني شهر ونصف، لذلك كان يريدني أن أخذ وقتي في العلاج، لم أقلق على حراسة المرمى في غيابي، نحن 30 لاعبًا كل لاعب لديه مسؤولية، وكل اللاعبين الموجودين كبار حتى لو سنهم صغير لكن يعرفون قيمة قميص النادي الأهلي، لم أشعر بالقلق اطلاقًا، أي لاعب يكون موجودًا سيؤدي بشكل أفضل مني”.

واستكمل: “مصطفى شوبير من اللاعبين الذين تربوا على يدي في النادي، وكنت دائمًا أقول عليه حارس كبير، قبل اللقاء ونحن في المعسكر طالبته بالتركيز ونصحته بالهدوء في المباراة، وبعد اللقاء هنأته وفي اليوم التالي قابلته وتحدثنا سويًا، وكنت سعيدًا به جدًا، وعلي لطفي أيضًا لو كان شارك كان سيؤدي دوره وأكثر لكنه كان مصابًا”.

وعن لقطة الميدالية مع مصطفي شوبير، أوضح: “المنظمون وضعوا 27 ميدالية للاعبين والجهاز الفني، ومصطفى كان خارج القائمة، بعد ذلك أنا صعدت وحصلت على الميدالية وأعطيته الميدالية، لأنه لاعب لابد أن يُكرم مثل باقي اللاعبين لأنه معنا منذ بداية البطولة، واللقطة كانت عفوية”.

وواصل: “تواجد الكابتن محمود الخطيب معنا في البعثة يفيدنا كثيرًا، يعطينا خبراته وثقته، واللاعب عندما يرى رئيس النادي يشعر بأهمية الحدث، أن يتواجد الخطيب فقط معنا هذا شيء كبير، يتحدث معنا مرة واحدة فقط، وهذا بالنسبة لنا يمنح اللاعبين إصرار كبير”.

واختتم: “تواجد حسام غالي رئيسًا لبعثة الأهلي يدل على نجاح منظومة النادي، ورسالة كبيرة جدًا للإدارات في مصر، جيل يُسلم جيل، أنا أفتخر بتواجدي في النادي الأهلي برئاسة محمود الخطيب، الإدارة كان عليها ضغوطات كبيرة، لكننا في نفس الوقت منظومة واحدة وأنا أشكرهم على مجهودهم، وشيء يسعدني تواجد حسام غالي رئيسا للبعثة”.

The MCC has revealed a 25-year Masterplan for the development of Lord’s to maintain the ground’s status as the finest in the world and to secure Two Test matches and two ODIs every year.

ESPNcricinfo staff01-May-2013Gatting to be MCC president

Mike Gatting, the former England captain, will become the next president of MCC when he takes over from Mike Griffith on October 1.

Gatting, who played 79 Tests, retired from first-class cricket in 1998 having hit more than 36,500 first-class runs at an average of 49.52 and is now Managing Director of Cricket Partnerships at ECB.

“Few people are so closely identified with Lord’s as Mike Gatting,” Griffith said. “He made Lord’s his home for Middlesex, and made more appearances for the county than any other player. He was an excellent and a particularly brave batsman for England, and he has continued to serve cricket with a dedication and passion that is unstinting for both ECB and MCC.
“Mike’s absolute priority is the good of cricket – he cares for and thinks deeply about the game. He has already done so much for MCC and Middlesex – it is fitting that someone of his cricketing stature should be president during this great ground’s Bicentenary in 2014.”

The MCC has revealed a 15-year Masterplan for the development of Lord’s to maintain the ground’s status as the finest in the world and to secure two Test matches and two ODIs every year.The project, compiled by the MCC Ground Working Party and publicised to members at the club’s AGM, will cost up to £200 million, begin in 2014 will the final phase schedule to get underway in 2027.The development will see the capacity increase by 2,700 with the Warner, Tavern, Allen, Compton and Edrich stands rebuilt and the pavilion extended. A new entrance will be created on Grove End Road behind the pavilion, which will supersede the Grace Gates as the member’s entrance, and the existing entrances will be upgraded to better cater for large attendances.The new stands, Grove End Road entrance and new Thomas Lord building will be completed by 2017 and be funded by current MCC resources. The development will pause in 2019 when England host the World Cup before continuing with the rebuilding of the Compton and Edrich Stands and work on the Nursery Ground – a new food street, ECB offices and the removal of the Nursery pavilion to move the playing area towards Wellington Road.”This Masterplan has cricket at its heart,” MCC president Mike Griffith said. “Every MCC Member cares deeply for our wonderful ground and we have a duty to ensure any changes made to Lord’s reflect the love we have for cricket, its history and its heritage. This Masterplan will reinforce the special place the ground has within the game by making it even better for every player and spectator who comes here.”Colin Maber, the chairman of MCC’s Ground Working Party and Estates committee, added: “The Masterplan has been designed to provide a framework within which Ground development over the next 15 years can be set.”The phased approach allows room for flexibility and evolution. Our key principles – on the absolute need to retain the size of both grounds, on keeping Lord’s as a Ground rather than making it a stadium, on the importance of green open spaces, and on enhancing the experience for every visitor – will underpin all we do. It is advanced work in progress, but can be flexed to reflect changing economic circumstances, technology and research.”

It is probably only natural that a club based in the middle of one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe will reflect the community it serves. But, even by the standards of London, this Middlesex side is a cosmopolitan bunch.

It is probably only natural that a club based in the middle of one of the most ethnically diverse cities in Europe will reflect the community it serves. But, even by the standards of London, this Middlesex side is a cosmopolitan bunch.It contains two men born in Australia, three men born or brought up in South Africa, one born in German, another in Wales and one each from Lancashire and Kent. Even the two London-born players, Tim Murtagh and Toby Roland-Jones, have previously passed through the Surrey system. You could make a strong case to argue that not one of this team have developed through the Middlesex development programme.Middlesex, noting their reliance upon imports, have invested heavily in their facilities in recent times and it is hoped, in time, they will be more self reliant.But they were grateful for a couple of their imports on the second day of this game. First Sam Robson established a platform before John Simpson built on it to earn Middlesex a position from which they could earn a match-defining advantage on day three.Robson looks a fine player. There is more than a passing resemblance to Mike Atherton in his determination and the way he looks at the crease, with the fluency through wide mid on and the similarities of the cut stroke most uncanny.But quite who benefits from his development remains to be seen. Robson, who claims he is uncertain over his qualification status, was born in Australia, played for the U19 side and returned to participate in Grade cricket this winter. He has a British mother, however, and is ensuring he spends enough time in the UK to qualify for England at the start of the 2014 season. In this weather, that probably shows some level of commitment.Bearing in mind Australia’s current dearth of batting talent, however, he could well be one of three men in this match (Chris Rogers and Ed Cowan are the others) considered for national selection some time before then. His options remain open and Australia could do a great deal worse.Certainly he was reluctant to categorically confirm his commitment to England when asked about it at the close of play. “Everyone wants to play international cricket,” he told ESPNcricinfo. “I’m loving playing in England and my home is in London. I’m not looking at anything more than that.”Whether that is a satisfactory situation in a county game that is duty bound to support the development of the England team is debatable. While it might be argued that players like Robson help raise the standard, it might equally be argued that they impede the progress of young men who would be less equivocal in their national commitments. Robson, understandably focused on making his way in the game, is hardly to blame for the unsatisfactory regulations.Robson, keeping with the theme of this match, battled hard only to then play a large part in his own downfall. Throwing his hands at a wide ball, he edged to the keeper in a spell of play that brought Nottinghamshire back into the game; a shot he later described as “criminal”. Middlesex, having posted 106 for the first wicket, then lost five wickets for 69 runs. Still trailing by 103 with their top-order gone, the match was in the balance.That Nottinghamshire side were unable to capitalise upon that position was largely their own fault. On a pitch offering variable bounce and in conditions offering just enough seam and swing, they delivered far too many release balls to build the requisite pressure. Middlesex accumulated 160 runs in boundaries and another 38 in extras – including 11 from wides and eight from no-balls – as Nottinghamshire’s bowlers squandered the conditions and sprayed the ball around.”We’re slightly disappointed,” Luke Fletcher, the pick of the bowlers, admitted afterwards. “We didn’t put the ball in the right areas enough. It is still moving around and swinging.”Gareth Berg – South African born, but an Italian international cricketer – and Simpson also deserve some credit. The pair added 116 for the sixth wicket with Simpson registering his first half-century in the Championship since September 2011. He drove and cut nicely, but could count himself fortunate that Nottinghamshire’s bowlers remained so inconsistent. He had earned his side a lead of 19 by the time bad light ended play 9.2 overs early. Possibly, had Ollie Rayner been dismissed, play could have continued: if is often said you can see clearly once Rayner has gone.Perhaps the cold contributed to Nottinghamshire’s problems. In conditions so cold that even Captain Oates would think twice before venturing out for a walk, the floodlights remained on for the entire day and fielding was an uncomfortable business.When Nottinghamshire did stick to a decent line and length, they won due reward. Chris Rogers, who may have nudged the Australian selectors once more by passing 19,000 first-class runs on his way to another half-century, perished when he left a straight one that swung back at him before Joe Denly, Dawid Malan and Neil Dexter were all forced onto the back foot by sustained and impressive spells of short bowling and then dismissed when they failed to get fully forward to fuller balls.While Fletcher may still more resemble the chef at Hooters he used to be than an elite athlete, he bowled with skill and discipline. Ajmal Shahzad, among some pretty horrid stuff, also bowled some excellent deliveries, but Andy Carter, feeding the cut shot, endured a disappointing day and Andre Adams, by his lofty standards, was surprisingly inconsistent.Middlesex’s hopes of pressing for victory could be harmed by an injury to James Harris, though. The club fear he has a hamstring strain, but hope he has been suffering from cramp after his exertions on the first day. It remains to be seen if he will bowl again in the game.
