Chand confident with mixture of youth and experience

Botswana captain Akrum Chand is confident that his aggressive approach will help his side as they host the World Cricket League Division 7

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Apr-2011Botswana captain Akrum Chand is confident that his aggressive approach will help his side as they host the World Cricket League Division 7.Chand, who previously captained in 2006, feels his experience will also be important for the side. “I wasn’t able to travel to Jersey in 2006 due to injury nor did I travel to Singapore for Division 6 in 2009 but I have captained the side previously and I’m looking forward to leading them again in this event,” he said.”I believe in being aggressive when it comes to our game – it will be about being on the offensive and not defensive when it comes to our matches.””We’ve been working very hard ahead of this tournament with the side dedicating the last six months to preparing for the event. We’ve been to Zimbabwe and South Africa for camps and I feel as a side we’re well prepared for the event.”The team is a mixture of youth and experience with a few players coming up from the under-19 side. Part-time wicketkeeper-batsman Karabo Motlhanka, all-rounder Waseem Tajbhay as well as fast bowler Segolame Ramatu are all good prospects in the side while we’ve experience in the likes of James Moses who has been playing for Botswana for over 10 years and knows what the team is about and how to guide the players if needs be.Kuwait and Germany are the new sides in the division and Chand conceded they will be an unfamiliar challenge. “We don’t know huge amounts about the promoted teams for this event,” he said. “But our coach Arjun Menon has worked with some of the other sides in the tournament and has given us some good background to help us prepare. When it comes down to it we will be focusing on our own game and see what we have on day of the games.”Chand admitted the rain in Botswana is a little bit of a concern at the moment but he is confident conditions will be fine come the event. “Although it has been raining a bit this week, I think we should be ok for when the tournament begins. We’re playing on AstroTurf so we can probably expect the ball to bounce and skid a little while the outfields are looking great. One bonus is we’re moving into winter so the temperature is a lot better for playing cricket, around 27 degrees rather than the usual 45!”

أوضح المدير الفني لفريق نيوكاسل يونايتد، إيدي هاو، حقيقة إمكانية انضمام النجم البرتغالي كريستيانو رونالدو إلى النادي الإنجليزي على سبيل الإعارة حال تأهلهم إلى دوري أبطال أوروبا الموسم المقبل.

كانت هناك تقارير تفيد بوجود بند في عقد رونالدو مع النصر بأنه يمكن أن ينتقل إلى نيوكاسل إذا أنهى الموسم في المراكز الأربعة الأولى هذا الموسم.

وسُئل إيدي هاو عن ذلك الأمر، ورد في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية قائلا: “نتمنى لـ كريستيانو كل التوفيق ولكن هذا الأمر ليس صحيحًا من جانبنا”.

Uma cena no mínimo curiosa chamou a atenção ao término do confronto entre Sport e Bahia. Enquanto as duas equipes se encaminhavam para o vestiário, o técnico Claudinei Oliveira estendeu a mão para cumprimentar Guto Ferreira e foi ignorado pelo comandante adversário.

Claramente constrangido pelo gesto do rival, Claudinei tentou argumentar com Guto, mas sem sucesso, que desceu para o vestiário com cara de poucos amigos.

Atapattu breaks record on rain-hit day

A round-up of the second match day of the Women’s Quadrangular Series in Sri Lanka

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Apr-2011It was another disappointing day at the Women’s Quadrangular Series in Sri Lanka, as all four teams scheduled to play had to settle for a point each as neither of the two matches in Colombo could be completed because of the weather. The only highlight of the day was Chamari Atapattu becoming the first Sri Lankan woman to score a century in one-day cricket. Rain has affected the whole series, with the Twenty20 matches and the first round of matches in the one-day series all being shortened.On Thursday, the game between Netherlands women and Pakistan women was reduced to a 20-over match but still there could be no play after Netherlands’ innings. The other match between Sri Lanka women and Ireland women was abandoned after Sri Lanka played their shortened innings of 48 overs.At the Nondescripts Cricket Ground Netherlands women were put in to bat and only managed to get to 68 for 6 in their allotted 20 overs. However, Pakistan women never got a chance to start their chase.Sri Lanka women reached 251 for 5 against Ireland women at the P Sara Oval, thanks to Atapattu’s 111 off 110 balls. Atapattu’s score was 23 runs more than the previous highest score by a Sri Lankan woman.

Spriegel takes his chance against Scotland

Surrey maintained their perfect start to the Clydesdale Bank 40 with a comfortable 48-run win over Group B rivals Scotland in Edinburgh.

15-May-2011
ScorecardSurrey maintained their perfect start to the Clydesdale Bank 40 with a comfortable 48-run win over Group B rivals Scotland in Edinburgh. The visitors always looked on target for a fourth victory in as many games after some devastating late hitting from Matt Spriegel helped them to 257 for 7 batting first.Scotland’s bowlers had done well to rein in Surrey after an initial onslaught from Steve Davies and Jason Roy, but Spriegel helped his side take 52 from the final 20 deliveries as he finished unbeaten on 82 from 73 balls. It proved a match-winning blast as Scotland battled manfully in pursuit, but simply failed to supply the same type of power hitting to finish on 209 for nine. Neil McCallum top-scored for the hosts with 53 from 51 balls.After his batting heroics, Spriegel claimed the first Scottish wicket when he bowled Fraser Watts and when fellow opener Ryan Flannigan fell from the last ball of the 10th over Scotland were 50 for 2. By contrast, Surrey had been 93 for 1 at the same stage – after Davies and Roy’s powerful start – but the hosts patiently built towards the total in the middle overs thanks to a 72-run stand between McCallum and Preston Mommsen for the fifth wicket.Mommsen departed for a run-a-ball 45 when England Lions seamer Jade Dernbach had him caught by Tom Maynard but with McCallum in touch Scotland reached 200 in the 37th over – the same stage Surrey passed the mark. But where Spriegel stepped up another couple of gears McCallum could not, despite twice clearing the ropes, as he also perished to Dernbach shortly after reaching his half-century to snuff out home hopes.Earlier, Surrey made a blistering start to their innings as they quickly overcame the second-over loss of skipper Rory Hamilton-Brown when he offered a return catch to Matthew Parker. Davies and Roy flayed the Scotland attack in the initial overs as they scored at more than nine an over in a devastating 89-run stand.Davies was particularly brutal, smashing 40 from 28 balls, but his dismissal slowed the rate as Surrey lost three for 17. Roy had looked equally at ease in reaching 52 from 36 balls, but was stumped trying to take the long handle to off-spinner Majid Haq who then also accounted for Maynard.It served to bring caution to Surrey’s batting and the loss of Zander de Bruyn (35) and Chris Schofield (4), both to 20-year-old seamer Josh Davey, pulled the handbrake further as Spriegel offered only sporadic evidence of the late hitting to come. The visitors had only just passed 200 in the 37th over when Gareth Batty departed, but it served as a green light for Spriegel to open his shoulders, clearing the boundary on three occasions, in what proved a match-winning blast.

Quatro dias após cirurgia, Rodrigo Caio inicia fisioterapia no São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Nesta terça-feira, quatro dias depois de passar por cirurgia no pé esquerdo, Rodrigo Caio já começou a fazer fisioterapia. O zagueiro foi ao CT da Barra Funda para iniciar um tratamento em tempo integral no Reffis, visando uma volta no menor tempo previsto, de dois meses.

O jogador, que há uma semana sonhava com a convocação para a Copa do Mundo, se machucou no 0 a 0 diante do Ceará, em 22 de abril. Na semana passada, o Tricolor divulgou a necessidade de uma intervenção cirúrgica, realizada na noite de sexta-feira, pelo médico Marcelo Prado, no HCor.

Como foi detectadauma lesão no dorso do pé esquerdo, o procedimento serviu para corrigir a instabilidade nos ligamentos do local. Rodrigo Caio recebeu alta no sábado, dia seguinte à operação, e realizava a fisioterapia em casa, sob orientação dos médicos do clube. Agora, inicia tratamento em tempo integral no CT da Barra Funda.

O período mais provável de afastamento do zagueiro é de três meses, mas a comissão técnica trabalha com a possibilidade de que ele retorne em dois meses. De qualquer forma, existe a chance de ele nem entrar mais em campo pelo clube que o revelou.

Depois de recusar ofertas nos últimos anos, inclusive uma do Real Sociedad, da Espanha, que quis pagar a multa de 18 milhões de euros(cerca de R$ 78 milhões) no começo de 2018, Rodrigo Caio já expôs que pode ser o momento de deixar o Tricolor. E a diretoria está disposta a ouvir ofertas, até porque admite que ainda precisa negociar jogadores nesta temporada por necessidades financeiras.

Morgan appointed Twenty20 vice-captain

Eoin Morgan has been named as vice-captain of England’s Twenty20 side

Eoin Morgan’s knowhow in limited-overs cricket is being tapped into by the England management•Associated Press

Eoin Morgan has been named as vice-captain of England’s Twenty20 side, and could be in line to lead the team in Saturday’s one-off international against Sri Lanka at Bristol, if Stuart Broad fails to recover from the bruised heel he sustained on the final day of the drawn Test at the Rose Bowl.An ECB spokesman confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that the appointment had been made, but added that Broad’s injury was not expected to prevent him from captaining England for the first time in his international career. Broad is also Alastair Cook’s official deputy in 50-overs cricket, with his first match as full-time captain taking place at The Oval on Tuesday.Morgan’s promotion underlines the esteem in which he is held in limited-overs cricket, and also reinforces the sense that Paul Collingwood, England’s victorious captain in last year’s World Twenty20, has reached the end of the line after playing in an England record 197 ODIs, and all but one of the team’s previous 36 T20Is.At the age of 24, Morgan represents the future of England’s limited-overs team, and as England embark on a new four-year cycle, culminating with the 2015 World Cup, the management have demonstrated a desire to tap into his knowhow. According to the Daily Express he was interviewed for the job via Skype last month, while on duty with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL.Since coming into the England set-up after transferring his allegiance from his native Ireland, Morgan’s influence in the team has been immense. His innovative strokeplay in 50-over cricket helped secure series wins over South Africa, Australia and Pakistan last year, while he was one of the main contributors to England’s World Twenty20 triumph in the Caribbean last May, where he scored 183 runs in seven innings at a strike-rate of more than 128.Nevertheless, naming an official vice-captain in Twenty20 cricket is a new departure for England, which raises the possibility that Broad’s fitness is not entirely clear-cut. The Test captain, Andrew Strauss, had been coy on the subject after the Rose Bowl Test, when asked if a deputy for Broad was being considered.”There are a number of contenders, and we will deal with that if and when it happens,” he said. “His injury is a niggle rather than anything serious. He will have to rest up over the next few days, but I don’t think there’s any real reason to doubt that he won’t be fit.”Morgan risked the displeasure of the England selectors last month by announcing he would return to fulfil his contract with Kolkata Knight Riders if he wasn’t chosen for the first Test squad at Cardiff. In the event, his 193 in his solitary first-class outing for England A against the Sri Lankans at Derby ensured he was chosen ahead of Ravi Bopara.As far as England’s defence of their World Twenty20 crown is concerned, Morgan’s appointment could yet prove significant. The next event takes place in Sri Lanka in September 2012, and as one of England’s few representatives at the IPL, his input could prove invaluable in planning the team’s strategy. Last time around, Collingwood’s recognition of the threat posed by left-arm seamers led to Ryan Sidebottom’s key inclusion ahead of James Anderson.
