ESPNcricinfo staff16-Jan-2011Group A
A strong batting effort led by Shoaib Khan’s 60 gave State Bank of Pakistan an easy win against Hyderabad Hawks at the Niaz Stadium in Hyderabad. As many as six SBP batsmen got more than 20, as they reached an impressive total of 314, and Hyderabad fell 37 runs short in their chase. Shoaib Khan and captain Kashif Siddiq put together 73 for the first wicket, with Siddiq getting his 46 at a strike-rate of 143.75. Adnan Raees and Rameez Alam both made contributions in the middle order as Hyderabad’s bowlers all went for runs. Legspinner Rizwan Ahmed was the only one to go for less than 5 an over, taking 3 for 46 in his 10 overs. Hyderabad’s chase got off to a shaky start, with three wicket falling early, but half-centuries from Aqeel Anjum, Rizwan and Lal Kumar in the middle order gave them a chance. Left-arm spinner Nayyer Abbas took three wickets towards the end of Hyderabad’s innings as they were bowled out for 277.A century by opener Abid Ali led Lahore Lions to an easy victory over Quetta Bears at the National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex in Karachi. Quetta’s opener Rashid Yousuf scored a century too, but they batted too slowly and only managed 217 in their 50 overs despite losing just five wickets. Lahore Lions needed 43.2 overs to chase the total, with Abid striking at 84.39 during his unbeaten 119, compared to Rashid’s strike-rate of 66.44 during his 101. Captain Mohammad Yousuf scored 61 off 55 balls as Lahore Lions lost just three wickets on their way to victory.

Group B
Khan Research Laboratories chased down Pakistan Television’s 203 in 46.3 overs to pick up a five-wicket win at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Pakistan TV lost three early wickets after being put in to bat, but Awais Zia held the innings together with his 72. Zia and Fayyaz Ahmed put together 97 for the fourth wicket, but they lost wickets steadily after that and ended up being all out in 43 overs. KRL’s chase was led by opener Saeed Anwar jnr’s 70 and Mohammad Idrees’s 58.Abbottabad Falcons beat Lahore Eagles by just three runs on the Duckworth-Lewis system in a rain-affected match at the Gohati Cricket Stadium in Swabi. In a reduced first innings, Abbottabad were bowled out in 31 overs for 162. Opener Sajjad Ali scored 41 and Khalid Usman got a quick 30 towards the end of the innings. Lahore Eagles were set a revised target of 124 to win in 25 overs. They got off to a solid start, reaching 75 for 1, but then lost four quick wickets and fell short of the target by four runs.

Pelo segundo dia consecutivo, Rhodolfo ficou na academia do Ninho do Urubu tratando de uma lesão na panturrilha direita e não treinou com os atletas em campo. Apesar de ter tempo para recuperar-se – o Flamengo estreia contra o Vitória, sábado, pelo Brasileirão -, o zagueiro será baixa. Está suspenso pela briga com Felipe Vizeu, em jogo pela 36ª rodada contra o Corinthians em 2017.

Rhodolfo, nesta temporada, tem revezado com Juan a condição de titular da zaga do Rubro-Negro ao lado do capitão Réver. Sob o comando de Carpegiani, Juan disputou sete jogos. Rhodolfo, por sua vez, atuou em dez confrontos.

Em 14 de dezembro, o STJD julgou o recurso do clube e diminuiu as penas de Rhodolfo e Vizeu. O zagueiro, antes suspenso por cinco partidas, recebeu a suspensão final de dois. O atacante, por sua vez, teve sua pena diminuída pela metade, e também cumpre a suspensão nas duas primeiras rodadas do BR-18.

O departamento jurídico do Fla busca a absolvição dos atletas, mas pelo tempo curto até o confronto com o Vitória, os dois atletas devem ficar fora da estreia.

RELEMBRE O CASO

Felipe Vizeu e Rhodolfo foram suspensos pelos episódios protagonizados na vitória do Flamengo por 3 a 0 sobre o Corinthians, na Ilha do Urubu, no dia 19 de novembro de 2017. O confronto foi válido pela 36ª rodada do Brasileirão.

Aos 44 minutos da etapa inicial, o zagueiro trocou agressões com o atacante. Em um lance fora da disputa de bola, os dois discutiram de forma calorosa, e Rhodolfo deu um soco em Vizeu. Na seqüência, os atletas trocaram cabeçadas.

Na sequência do jogo os atletas voltaram a se desentender. O atacante fez o terceiro gol do Flamengo e, na comemoração, mostrou o dedo do meio para o defensor que ficou transtornado, dizendo que ia agredi-lo dentro do vestiário.

Logo após o jogo, os dois mostraram que tudo foi resolvido entre eles ainda no vestiário, deram entrevistas juntos e afirmaram que “era uma página virada”.

Amol Muzumdar is back in Mumbai to play the Ranji Trophy, even if it is as the captain of Assam

Tariq Engineer24-Nov-2010

Amol Muzumdar is smiling, unable to help himself. He’s back in Mumbai to play the Ranji Trophy, even if it is as the captain of Assam. “It’s great to be back,” he told ESPNcricinfo during practice at the Mumbai Cricket Association ground [in Bandra, a suburb of Mumbai] two days before the defending Ranji Trophy champions were due to take on the Super League newcomers.He was greeted like an old friend as he walked through the clubhouse, catching up with the Mumbai players and indulging in some good-natured ribbing with Ajit Agarkar and Ramesh Powar. It was only when he walked into the visitors’ dressing room that the reality of the situation sank in.Muzumdar was once the man for all seasons for Mumbai. For 16 years, he plied his trade at the heart of India’s most demanding domestic side, winning eight Ranji Trophy titles and becoming the team’s leading run-scorer. But in August last year, he decided to leave the city he grew up in for Assam – then in the Ranji Plate division – after not being selected for the Buchi Babu tournament.”Yes, I said I could never imagine playing anywhere other than Mumbai, but things change. The way things unfolded, it made sense for me to leave.” Assam, he said, were desperate to get out of the Plate league, and they thought he was the person to help them do that. He admitted this game had “a different feeling” for him, but said he prepared for it like he would any other game. “I just try to play good cricket.”In his first season as Assam captain, Muzumdar helped his young side earn promotion to the upper tier, where, as it happens, they were drawn in the same group as his old team this season, along with other domestic heavyweights such as Delhi and Bengal. “The group has five Ranji Trophy champions. If we can survive in this group, then we belong here.”Assam have made a good start to their season, picking up six points from three games, and surprising Bengal by overhauling their first innings score of 562 for 6 in the last game. Yet Muzumdar has told his new team “they are here to learn” from the way Mumbai plays cricket. He said some of the players feel like they have accomplished their goal just by making it to the Super League – a far cry from Mumbai, who consider a season without a Ranji Trophy championship a failure. “Having to explain the difference between big dreams and small dreams is in itself a challenge.”The smile was widest when talking about his many happy memories of playing here. Naturally, they all involve winning. The sight of Ravi Shastri lifting the Ranji Trophy in his first season in 1993-94, after the city had gone 10 years without winning the tournament, is one that will always stay with him. “It was my debut season and I was happy to make some contributions,” he said. Muzumdar is being modest. What he calls “some contribution” includes making 260 on debut, still a record for the highest score by a debutant in first-class cricket, and a tournament average of 164.66. Not bad for a 19-year old.He also mentioned the 2006-07 season, his first as captain, when Mumbai were in danger of not even making it to the knockout stage. “There will never be another year like that. It was up and down, like a rollercoaster. We lost our first three matches, no points on the table. We had to win the next four matches with four bonus points. We won the next four matches with four bonus points to reach the semi-finals. Then being bowled out for 233 in the first innings [against Baroda]. Being 0 for 5 in the second innings.”There was so much pressure,” he says shaking his head. “It puts a big smile on my face to think about it.” In the end, you can take the cricketer out of Mumbai, but you can’t take Mumbai out of the cricketer.

أثنى سيد معوض مدرب منتخب مصر الأسبق بالأداء الذي قدمه لاعبو الأهلي خلال مباراتهم أمام غزل المحلة ضمن منافسات الدوري المصري.

وحقق الأهلي فوزًا هامًا أمام غزل المحلة بنتيجة 2-0 ليواصل سلسلة انتصاراته في الدوري والحفاظ على صدارة جدول ترتيب المسابقة بـ15 نقطة.

وقال معوض في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “ETC”: “علي معلول كان من أفضل لاعبي الأهلي أمام غزل المحلة، لأنه أضاف كثيرًا للعمل الهجومي في الجبهة اليسرى، ومستوى أحمد عبد القادر كان أفضل في وجود النجم التونسي، وقدم 60 دقيقة جيدة”.

وأكمل: “بابا فاسيليو مدرب المحلة جيد، ويبدأ الهجمة بشكل جيد أمام فرق الدوري، لكن كان من الصعب أن يلعب بنفس طريقته أمام الأهلي أو الزمالك أو بيراميدز، سيجد صعوبة بالصعود بالكرة من أمام المرمى”.

وأردف: “بيرسي تاو كان غائبا لفترة طويلة بسبب الإصابة، وصبر كولر على اللاعب في صالحه تمامًا، وتوظيفه أمام غزل المحلة في مركز المهاجم كان جيدًا، وسنحت له عدة فرص بسبب تحركاته داخل منطقة الجزاء، وسجل هدفا مميزا”.

وواصل: “بيرسي تاو لعب وقتا طويلا أمام غزل المحلة في بداية عودته مجددا، لكنه يحتاج إلى تطوير الأداء، وأتمنى عدم غيابه واستمراريته في المرحلة المقبلة”.

واستطرد: “معلول كان أفضل لاعب مع الفريق، وبرونو سافيو قدم أداء جيدا وسجل هدفا، ولديه المزيد خلال الفترة المقبلة، وكولر قرأ فريق المحلة بشكل مختلف، لذلك فضل الدفع بالجنوب إفريقي بيرسي تاو، كما شارك محمد شريف وشادي حسين في الشوط الثاني”.

واختتم: “محمد شريف عليه أن يقيم نفسه، وهو تحول من مهاجم كان يساهم في انتصارات الأهلي إلى لاعب بديل حالياً وعليه التغيير للأفضل خاصة أن كولر يحتاج لمهاجم مختلف”.

A significant Rangers update has emerged on Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s bid to keep Rory Wilson at Ibrox beyond this summer.

The Rangers starlet has been in phenomenal form this term but sadly, the Gers could be on the verge of a disaster with him.

What’s the talk?

According to The Daily Record, the Rangers academy striker has told the club that he will be leaving Glasgow at the end of the season.

The Gers want him to put pen to paper on professional terms to remain at Ibrox but he will now be heading south of the border and Ross Wilson will need to get as much out of the deal as he can – with the club entitled to training compensation.

That report claims that he has made his mind up and is now set to reunite with Steven Gerrard at Aston Villa in the Premier League next term.

Van Bronckhorst will be livid

This update will surely leave the head coach livid as Wilson is a talented young prospect whose departure will come as a big blow to the club.

Rangers are on the verge of repeating the awful disaster that was Billy Gilmour’s exit from Glasgow back in the summer of 2017. Premier League side Chelsea snapped him up, at the age of 15, for a reported fee of £500k and he has made the step up to senior level in recent years.

He is currently valued at £10.8m by Transfermarkt and has spent the season on loan with Norwich in the Premier League, after winning the Champions League with Chelsea last term. The midfielder has also been capped 12 times by Scotland at international level as he has shown that he has been able to adjust to playing at senior level.

His value has soared since leaving Rangers as a teenager and now he is worth an eight-figure sum and playing at the top level in England. Meanwhile, the Gers received an initial £500k for his services and have had to watch on from afar as their academy product has achieved success.

Rangers are now set to relive that nightmare with Wilson. By the end of March, the attacker was on 40 goals for the club in all competitions at youth level, which shows how impressive he has been for the academy and that he has big potential to make himself a star in the first team.

Therefore, van Bronckhorst will now be livid that the 16-year-old wants to leave Glasgow and is on course to sign for Villa this summer as he will not be able to utilise his talents in the future. He may now have to watch the striker catch fire in England and wonder what could have been…

AND in other news, Rangers played an Ibrox blinder with £22k-pw “cornerstone” who’s like “Graeme Souness”…

South Africa know that Pakistan present them with an unpredictable challenge and they want to use the series as a way of testing their skills against a subcontinental team

Firdose Moonda25-Oct-2010

The last time South Africa played cricket in the United Arab Emirates was in Sharjah ten years ago. There, they lost to Pakistan by 16 runs in the final of a one-day tri-series that also included India. That South African side included the likes of Nicky Boje, Lance Klusener and Herschelle Gibbs, and was captained by Hansie Cronje on the eve of his fall from grace.The South African cricketing landscape has undergone major changes in the last decade. Only Jacques Kallis remains a part of the ODI squad from that day in March 2000, and he is a doubtful starter for the latest mission to the Middle East. Kallis has been out of action for over a month with a neck injury, and will be assessed by the South African medical staff ahead of the two Twenty20s against Pakistan.The rest of the squad will be getting their first taste of cricket in the desert. Not only will the conditions be much warmer than what they are used to, but the schedule much more crammed. Two T20s, five ODIS and two tests have been packed into four weeks. The players left for UAE on Sunday and have only had a day to acclimatise before diving headfirst into the action. “We are not going to have a lot of time to get used to conditions so I hope we will be able to sum them up pretty quickly. We have to be versatile and be able to adapt,” said ODI captain Graeme Smith during the whitewash of Zimbabwe that South Africa completed last week.The matches against Zimbabwe were largely regarded as a warm-up to a season that includes a home series against India and culminates in the World Cup. Smith felt that the victories against Zimbabwe have sent them to the UAE well-prepared in all departments. “The confidence base is good, our batters got time in the middle and bowlers progressively got better. We’ve done all the hard work ahead of this series.”South Africa experimented with new players against Zimbabwe, with Colin Ingram and Rusty Theron making their debuts. It is all part of Operation World Cup, which involves selecting a team that can finally end South Africa’s ICC trophy drought. There are no brand new faces for the Pakistan series, indicating that the focus is now on preparing the players that have been used so far. Coach Corrie van Zyl said he didn’t know if the squad for this series can be labelled the final fifteen. “That is a question I would like you to ask Andrew Hudson (chairman of selectors),” joked van Zyl at the team’s departure press conference on Sunday.Ingram and Theron settled into international cricket in outstanding fashion, with Ingram scoring a century on debut and Theron grabbing a five-for in his second ODI. Both staked their claim for a place in the team but face plenty of competition for their spots. Smith made it clear that if Ingram is used he “will play at five or six” as soon as Kallis is fit. Theron will have to do battle with Morne Morkel and Dale Steyn, both of whom are recovering from injuries.While the new faces are creating waves, there was a more familiar one, who was also entrusted with a new role, also in the spotlight. AB de Villiers looks certain to don the wicketkeeping gloves in the ODI side going forward and showed that he is capable of playing the dual role of keeper-batsman. Besides doing a decent job behind the stumps against Zimbabwe, he also scored back-to-back hundreds and is ranked the world’s top ODI player, according to the latest ICC rankings. Mark Boucher (who was also on the 2000 tour) is not taking being dropped lying down. He said losing the wicketkeeping role gutted him and he will fight to regain the spot.It is this type of inter-player competitiveness that Smith believes will decide the World Cup squad. “This series will give players the opportunity to stake claims. The coaching staff can have ideas for what they want to achieve tactically but ultimately it’s the players who put their hands up.”Although Smith is still the senior voice of South African cricket, he will spend the first two matches as just another player. Since relinquishing the T20 captaincy in August, Smith has played under Johan Botha in the shortest format, where he says he enjoys “relaxing on the boundary.” Smith will also give up the one-day captaincy after the World Cup and is using the time he has left in charge to “create the best environment I can so that we can be as successful as we can.”With all this introspection, it appears South Africa have given little thought to their opposition. In fact, they have been quietly trying to steer away from being bombarded with the one question that tails Pakistan like a cop behind a drunk-driver: What is your reaction to the spot-fixing controversy? Smith’s answer was typical PR speak, “I guess we are going to get this question quite a few times in the next month. For us, it’s important that we play the sport in the right spirit. It’s our job to go there and play competitive cricket and do our best. We have to trust in the ICC to lead the game. They are the main stakeholders and it’s important that they make the right decisions and we trust them to do that.”South Africa know that Pakistan present them with an unpredictable challenge and they want to use the series as a way of testing their skills against a subcontinental team. “This is our first taste of the subcontinent for the summer. It’s going to be important for the spinners to see how they are doing and also for the batsmen to see how they play spin. It’s a good way of getting the whole squad used to conditions ahead of the World Cup,” said Botha. South Africa play ten ODIs before the big tournament. The countdown starts here.

A round-up of matches on the first day of the WICB regional one-day tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Oct-2010Darren Bravo struck the first hundred of this season’s WICB regional one-day competition to lead reigning champions Trinidad & Tobago to an eight-wicket victory against Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC) at Kensington Park in Jamaica. Coming in at No. 3, after his older brother Dwayne was dismissed with the score on 17, Bravo hit six sixes during an innings of 104 off 121 balls. He pushed towards the century with three sixes in left-arm spinner Kavesh Kantasingh’s ninth over. Bravo forged a half-century partnership with Adrian Barath and then added another 119 with his captain Daren Ganga to achieve the target of 201 in the 43rd over.CCC nearly had a centurion too but Floyd Reifer’s innings was cut short on 99 when he was caught by Dave Mohammed off Kieron Pollard. Reifer’s contribution was the only one of note in CCC’s innings, though their captain Romel Currency scored a painstaking 49 off 104 balls. CCC were comfortably placed at 138 for 3, but T&T’s seamers Ravi Rampaul (4 for 36) and Pollard jolted the middle order and restricted them to 200 for 8.An ankle injury to Chris Gayle and rain aided Windward Islands in their task of upsetting Jamaica at the Trelawny Stadium. Gayle was forced to retire hurt on 0, with Jamaica on 16, and watched as his team lost wickets in their struggle for momentum. He returned with the score on 134 for 4 and blitzed 58 off 38 balls, an innings that included four fours and four sixes. Gayle’s strike-rate of 152.63 was the only one greater than 65 in Jamaica’s innings and, as a result, the home team was able to post 223 for 5.Windward openers, Devon Smith and Johnson Charles, added 65 by the 15th over of the chase before rain stopped play. When they resumed two hours later, the target had been revised to 113 off 25 overs, leaving Windwards to get only 48 off ten with all their wickets intact. They lost quick wickets, though, and went from 66 for 0 to 85 for 5 in 29 balls. Smith remained firm and was unbeaten when rain interrupted their chase for a second time after 20 overs. The umpires inspected the conditions when the weather cleared, but ruled it was not suitable to continue. Under the D/L method, Windwards were 10 runs ahead.

Liverpool could be set for a huge transfer setback regarding young Aberdeen right-back Calvin Ramsay.

What’s the word?

According to Football Insider, Leeds United have been granted permission to open talks with the 18-year-old, who has recently been crowned the SFWA Young Scottish Player of the Year after an excellent campaign.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-liverpool-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-salah-gnabry-isak-romano” title= “Read the latest Liverpool news!”]

Aberdeen will demand a fee which matches the youngster’s talents, and with Serie A outfit Bologna making a reported £4.8m bid for the defender in January, both Liverpool and Leeds will likely need to surpass that amount to secure his signing.

Liverpool face blow in pursuit of Ramsay

Liverpool have been outstanding this season, with a historic quadruple in their sights, although Jurgen Klopp is still planning for the future.

Ramsay has excelled in the Aberdeen first team this term, clocking the fourth-highest WhoScored rating of anyone to play more than 15 times for them in 2021/22, leaving little wonder as to why multiple Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in him.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold becoming a mainstay at right-back for Liverpool at the tender age of 23, this could give Leeds the edge in the chase for the Scottish starlet, especially if they have been given permission to speak to him over a potential transfer.

The Whites could perhaps offer a more attainable route to first-team football, and Ramsay’s next move will need to be chosen carefully for his career development. Just take a look at Nathan Patterson, who moved from Rangers to Everton and has barely featured for the struggling Toffees.

Ramsay has played 32 times for Aberdeen this season, scoring once and grabbing an impressive nine assists despite his team having a difficult campaign.

As Klopp continues his search for an understudy to Alexander-Arnold, he could well miss the chance to sign Ramsey, as Leeds appear to have edged ahead in the race for him.

If his first season at senior level has told us something, it’s that the 18-year-old looks set to become one of Scotland’s brightest talents over the next few years. Therefore, Klopp may well be fuming if the Reds miss out to their Premier League rivals for the Aberdeen starlet.

Bangladesh rode on an outstanding all-round performance from Shakib Al Hasan to beat New Zealand by nine runs in Mirpur, making Daniel Vettori’s pre-match comments about his ability seem almost clairvoyant

Shakib Al Hasan’s dismissal of Brendon McCullum turned the game Bangladesh’s way•Associated Press

Bangladesh rode on an outstanding all-round performance from Shakib Al Hasan to beat New Zealand by nine runs in Mirpur, making Daniel Vettori’s pre-match comments about his ability seem almost clairvoyant.Shakib was scintillating with the bat in the latter part of Bangladesh’s innings, unleashing a range of shots in the batting Powerplay to lift Bangladesh to a competitive 229. He then tormented the visitors with the ball, scalping four invaluable wickets including a double-strike in the 15th over to remove the rampant Brendon McCullum and Grant Elliott. He then returned to bowl a brilliant penultimate over in the rain-curtailed run chase, giving away just three runs and claiming the wicket of Nathan McCullum to give his side an unexpected 1-0 lead in the five-match series.Bangladesh’s hopes of defending the smallish total suffered a huge dent when they lost their captain and strike bowler, Mashrafe Mortaza, to a sprained ankle after bowling just one over. The blow left the inexperienced Nazmul Hossain and the hosts’ spinners to step up considerably, and vice-captain Shakib to take over the familiar captain’s role for the rest of the match.Brendon McCullum’s devastating form at the top of the order exacerbated the problem for Bangladesh as he set about blasting the attack to all corners for 61 off 45 deliveries. He plundered boundaries at will, cutting and pulling short balls ferociously as well as slamming the fuller deliveries over cover and down the ground. Jesse Ryder too got in on the action, hitting three boundaries in his innings of 21, before chipping Shakib to short midwicket with the score on 53 in the seventh over.Brendon McCullum used his feet against all the bowlers, with a particularly majestic straight strike off Naeem Islam in the eleventh over standing out. His fancy footwork, however, ultimately led to his undoing when he danced passed a dipping delivery from Shakib. Elliot followed two balls later to leave the visitors wobbling at 84 for 4 before the rain that had threatened through the day became heavy enough for the umpires to call for the covers.When play resumed, New Zealand were left chasing 210 from 37 overs: a target Ross Taylor and Daniel Vettori set about hauling in systematically. Vettori was adjudged out after pulling a chest-high full toss straight to deep square leg, though the third umpire ruled it as a no-ball after the batsman asked for a referral. That was the second controversial umpiring incident of the day, following a stumping that should have been given during the Bangladesh innings, when Junaid Siddique survived after being caught out of his crease.Vettori did not last long however, top-edging a sweep to short fine leg for 24. Shanan Stewart and Ross Taylor followed soon after, leaving the visitors in deep waters. Kyle Mills and Nathan McCullum kept trying, but were no match for a Shakib special in the penultimate over. Nazmul then successfully defended 17 in the last over to spark off scenes of jubilation in the stands.Earlier, New Zealand’s slow bowlers strangled Bangladesh after a solid start. Vettori was at his miserly best, finishing with 2 for 29 from his ten overs, while Nathan McCullum and Ryder also made inroads into the Bangladesh line-up.Opener Imrul Kayes fell to Kyle Mills after a 34-run stand for the first wicket, but Shahriar Nafees played intelligently for his 35, mixing firm defense with calculated aggression, before Vettori’s introduction made an immediate impact.He removed Nafees with a quick yorker in his second over, as Bangladesh began to feel the pinch. Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, with only Shakib managing to come to grips with the slowish surface. He began smartly against the seamers in the middle overs before exploding in the 45th, pulling Tim Southee for consecutive boundaries and then slamming Andy McKay down the ground in the following over to bring up his half-century. An inventive scoop and a crash through the covers off Mills raised hopes of 240, before a slower ball ended his stay. A couple of lusty blows from Mortaza lifted the score to 229, a score which ultimately proved sufficient.
