Brendon McCullum, the New Zealand captain, and Ross Taylor will miss the limited-overs tour to Sri Lanka, which starts on November 10, in order to prepare for the home series against West Indies. Kane Williamson will lead New Zealand in the three ODIs and two T20Is in Sri Lanka. Luke Ronchi and Ian Butler will replace McCullum and Taylor in the squad.Bruce Edgar, New Zealand Cricket’s general manager – national selection, said the pair will not travel to Sri Lanka so that they can have “red-ball preparation” ahead of the home series against West Indies. New Zealand are scheduled to play three Tests, five ODIs and two T20Is against West Indies, between December 3 and January 15, 2014. This will be followed by a home series against India, comprising five ODIs and two Tests, between January 19 and February 18, 2014.”Ross and Brendon need red-ball preparation to be at their best for the summer,” Edgar said. “Both players are vital to our success and fine-tuning their red-ball skills before the West Indies series starting in early December is paramount.”McCullum and Ross will play in the Plunket Shield, New Zealand’s first-class competition, and are also likely to feature in a few games for New Zealand XI before the first Test against West Indies on December 3.Edgar also said that the board was trying to manage player workloads effectively in the lead-up to bigger competitions, like the World Cup 2015, and stressed that resting senior players allowed the team to develop a larger talent pool in limited-overs cricket.”This summer we have 37 days of international cricket at home and Brendon and Ross are expected to play all of these, so it’s essential that we manage their workloads,” he said. “It’s important we provide game time to a wider playing group in one-dayers and Twenty20s, and establish a bigger bench of playing experience with the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup in Bangladesh next year and World Cup 2015 beyond that.”New Zealand will play the first two ODIs against Sri Lanka on November 10 and 12 in Hambantota, followed by the third ODI in Dambulla on November 16. The two T20Is will be held in Kandy on November 19 and 21.New Zealand squad for Sri Lanka ODIs and T20Is: Kane Williamson (capt), Corey Anderson, Ian Butler, Anton Devcich, Grant Elliott, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Adam Milne, Colin Munro, James Neesham, Luke Ronchi, Hamish Rutherford

Matthew Wade has been axed as Australia’s one-day wicketkeeper in favour of Brad Haddin and Fawad Ahmed has also been dropped for Xavier Doherty for the upcoming tour of India

Brydon Coverdale19-Sep-2013Matthew Wade has been axed as Australia’s one-day wicketkeeper in favour of Brad Haddin and Fawad Ahmed has also been dropped for Xavier Doherty for the upcoming tour of India. The 14-man squad will be led by Michael Clarke, if his back injury allows him to, and he will be one of three certainties for the first Test at the Gabba – along with Haddin and Shane Watson – on the near month-long trip in the lead-up to the Ashes.The selection of Clarke, Watson and Haddin means they will all miss the first round of Sheffield Shield matches, leaving them only two matches each to readjust to the longer format and the Australian conditions before the Brisbane Test. England’s cricketers, by comparison, will have three games to acclimatise and it is not a dissimilar scenario to the disastrous 2010-11 Ashes, when England’s players were better prepared than the Australians.However, it is still possible that Clarke will not take part in the Indian trip after he suffered a recurrence of his ongoing back problem at the end of the limited-overs series in England. In India in March, Clarke missed a Test due to his back injury for the first time in his career, and he was also troubled by his back in the lead-up to the Ashes in England.”After a long tour Michael Clarke’s back condition has flared up again and he has been selected subject to fitness,” John Inverarity, the national selector, said. “He has returned to Australia for further assessment and the national selection panel hopes that it will improve in time for the Indian tour.”The dumping of Wade caps off a difficult few months for him after Haddin reclaimed the Test wicketkeeping position for the Ashes in England. In the one-day series that followed, Wade made 0, 36 and 0 and collected three dismissals, and Haddin’s return could be a long-term option for the selectors after Haddin expressed his desire last month to play on in international cricket until the end of the 2015 World Cup.”Matthew Wade has been omitted due to lack of form and has been replaced by Brad Haddin, who captured an Ashes series record of dismissals in July and August,” Inverarity said. “Matthew is 25 years of age and has a great deal of natural ability both as a batsman and as a keeper. The NSP is confident that Matthew will regain form and press hard for selection in the not too distant future.”That Wade is no longer the incumbent in any format due to poor form – there is a T20 international in Rajkot before the seven-match ODI series – raises the question of whether he would remain next in line behind Haddin over the Australian summer. The Tasmania wicketkeeper Tim Paine could force himself ahead in the queue with a strong start to the domestic season, while Queensland’s Chris Hartley could also find himself in contention if a Test replacement is needed.The return of Doherty for the Indian trip was not unexpected but the omission of Ahmed was perhaps surprising, given he had been blooded on the England tour. Instead, he will have the chance to press for Ashes consideration in three Sheffield Shield outings, although Nathan Lyon is likely to remain the first-choice spinner for at least the beginning of the Ashes.”Fawad bowled well with his limited opportunities in the rain-affected series and better than his figures would suggest,” Inverarity said. “The NSP looks forward to Fawad getting plenty of bowling in the busy domestic schedule that begins at the end of this month.”Also gone from the ODI squad that toured England are Josh Hazlewood and the injured Shaun Marsh, while the allrounder Moises Henriques has been recalled. There will also be a significant change in the off-field staff for the Australians, with the fielding mentor Steve Rixon to lead the tour as head coach while Darren Lehmann spends time at home.”As with the successful tour of the UAE last year we will have Steve Rixon acting as head coach in India,” Pat Howard, Cricket Australia’s general manager of team performance, said. “Darren has been on the road and away from home for a considerable amount of time. This is a great opportunity for Darren to refresh, work with the states and provide others with opportunities.”Australia squad Shane Watson, Aaron Finch, Phillip Hughes, Michael Clarke (capt), George Bailey (vice-capt), Adam Voges, Brad Haddin (wk), Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Johnson, James Faulkner, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Clint McKay, Xavier Doherty.

Calum MacLeod helped Scotland beat Kenya by seven wickets with nine balls to spare to clinch the T20 series 2-0 in Aberdeen

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Jul-2013
ScorecardCalum MacLeod helped Scotland beat Kenya by seven wickets with nine balls to spare to clinch the T20 series 2-0 in Aberdeen. After restricting Kenya to 100 for 8, Scotland started slow in their chase. They lost their first wicket in the seventh over at the score of 32 and still needed 49 from the last eight overs when second wicket fell in the 12th over. MacLeod continued at the other end to make sure Scotland reached the target with ease, by scoring 16 off the first three balls of the 19th over to finish the chase.After opting to bat, Kenya lost four wickets in the first seven overs, including two ducks, which put them under pressure straightaway. Duncan Allan scored 18 after that but their last four contributed only 15 runs together. Collins Obuya was unbeaten with a 42-ball 38 which took them to 100 but it wasn’t competitive enough. Calvin Burnett finished with 3 for 18 and Majid Haq picked up two wickets.

تحدث محمد صلاح، الدولي المصري ونجم فريق ليفربول الإنجليزي، عن زميله الوافد الجديد، الهولندي كودي جاكبو بعد قرب انتهاء أول موسم له داخل الريدز.

وينتهي موسم ليفربول اليوم، حيث يواجه فريق ساوثهامبتون، على ملعب الأخير في السادسة والنصف مساء، ضمن لقاءات الجولة الأخيرة من بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “بريميرليج”.

وقال محمد صلاح في تصريحات لـ”ستاديوم أسترو” نقلها موقع “ليفربول إيكو”: “جاكبو مثل روبرتو فيرمينو، إنه يحب أن يسقط بعمق الملعب وأحيانًا يلعب دور الرقم 8، إنه يعرف كيف يلعب كرة القدم، هذا أمر مؤكد، لست قلقًا إذا لم يسجل، طالما أن الفريق يفوز فإنه سيسجل الأهداف على أي حال”.

وأضاف: “أنا دائمًا أتحدث معه، إنه رجل ذكي حقًا ويريد دائمًا التعلم، أقول له دائمًا لا تستمع لأي نقد، فقط العب كرة القدم”.

واختتم: “أقوله له أيضًا، لا تقلق بشأن ما يتحدث به الناس إذا ربما لم تسجل الكثير في بعض الأحيان، فهذه نصيحتي له، ما عليك سوى لعب كرة القدم والاسترخاء والاستمتاع بدورك في الفريق”.

انتقل جاكبو إلى ليفربول الشتاء الماضي قادمًا من آيندهوفن الهولندي مقابل 42 مليون يورو، بعدما فضل الريدز على مانشستر يونايتد.

The left-arm seamer became the first Indian to take a four-wicket haul on IPL debut

ESPNcricinfo staff31-Mar-2025Mumbai Indians (MI) left-arm seamer Ashwani Kumar made history by becoming the first Indian bowler to take a four-wicket haul on IPL debut, against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday.”I was feeling really good. There was a little pressure earlier, but thanks to the atmosphere of the team, I didn’t feel any pressure,” Ashwani, 23, told the host broadcaster at the break after KKR were dismissed for 116.Ashwani, who was bought for INR 30 lakh at the mega auction last year, said he had been nervous and skipped lunch before the evening game began at 7.30pm. “I didn’t have anything for lunch, I just had a banana. There was a little pressure. I wasn’t feeling hungry,” he said. “But still, I played well, so it’s good.”Related

He struck with his first delivery, having KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane caught at deep point. Rinku Singh was also caught at deep point in Ashwani’s second over, before Manish Pandey was bowled three balls later. In this third over, Ashwani bowled Andre Russell for 5 and finished with 4 for 24 in three overs.While the MI team management made game plans for Ashwani, their main instruction to him was to go out and enjoy his debut. “We had plans. But [Hardik Pandya, the MI captain] said that since it’s your debut match, enjoy yourself. Just keep bowling the way you have been,” Ashwani said.After being hit for a boundary by Russell first ball of his third over, Ashwani responded with two short balls before bowling a full one that the batter missed with an attacking shot. “Yes, the captain did have a role. Hardik had told me that he will try to attack you,” Ashwani said. “He told me to bowl into his body. But the situation was such that he tried to hit me and got out.”1:36

With KKR all out in 16.2 overs, Ashwani didn’t complete his spell, but played a crucial role in putting MI on course to earn their first points of the season.Hardik said that Ashwani impressed in a practice game before the match, and showed a range of skills which led to him being picked for their first home game of the season.”For today’s game, it was simply, we played a practice game and he had that zip, he had that little late swing, something off the wicket and had a different action and plus, he was a lefty,” Hardik said at the post-match presentation ceremony. “We just thought that because of the options he has… the good death options, we just backed him.”First of all, the way he took that wicket of Russell, it was a very, very crucial wicket,” Hardik said, before also praising him for his leaping catch at mid-off to account for KKR opener Quinton de Kock. “I think that was terrific to see a fast bowler jumping that high.”

Derbyshire have pulled off a coup by signing the world No. 2 Test batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, on a two-year contract.

George Dobell08-Jan-2013Derbyshire have pulled off a coup by signing the world No. 2 Test batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul.Shivnarine Chanderpaul will join his fourth county in 2013•Associated PressHe has signed a two-year contract, with Derbyshire retaining first-option for a third season. Chanderpaul, 38, will be available for all formats in 2013.Regarded as one of the weaker first-class counties for several years, Derbyshire have enjoyed a resurgence in recent times and were promoted to Division One of the County Championship for the first time in 12 years as champions of Division Two last season after the longest stint of any county in the bottom division.The signing of Chanderpaul underlines the new ambition of the club. Chris Grant, the club chairman appointed in March 2011, swiftly demonstrated his desire to shake things up at the club by sacking John Morris, the long-serving director of cricket, in the middle of a game barely six weeks later. Karl Krikken was appointed in his place and led the side to promotion in his first full season in charge.”I hope this sends a message to our members and supporters that we mean business ahead of the 2013 season,” Grant said. “The fact that Derbyshire are able to attract someone of his calibre is an indication of our ambition and the esteem in which the club is now held in the cricketing world.”Krikken added: “Shivnarine has been one of the standout players on the world stage for a long time. He knows what it takes to be successful and, as well as his outstanding ability with the bat, there is no doubt Shivnarine will have a hugely positive effect on our talented young squad as we embark on the challenge of Division One cricket.”Chanderpaul said he was excited to be joining an ambitious club and was impressed with Krikken’s vision for the team. He will add solidity to a batting line-up that sometimes appeared fragile in 2012. Derbyshire gained more bowling bonus points than any other side in Division Two but finished only mid-table in terms of batting bonus points.While the club have a strong unit of seamers, several of their “home grown” young batsmen – the likes of Ross Whiteley and Dan Redfern – are still developing and it was the overseas players, Martin Guptill and Usman Khawaja, who topped the county’s batting averages in 2012.Derbyshire have already added former Essex and Middlesex top-order batsman Billy Godleman and former Warwickshire wicketkeeper Richard Johnson to their staff. Godleman is the latest county player to seek the services of freelance coach and mentor, Neil Burns, who has been credited by Nick Compton and Monty Panesar as the man to have revitalised their careers.Chanderpaul has enjoyed sustained success in his previous stints in county cricket. In 2011 he played for Warwickshire, scoring three centuries and averaging 89.83 in five matches to help the club finish second in the County Championship, and he has had three spells at Durham, helping them to titles in 2008 and 2009 and averaging 58.26 for them in first-class cricket. He also played for Lancashire in 2010.*This story was updated when Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s deal was confirmed

Jogando em sua casa e apoiado por mais de 45 mil torcedores presentes no Beira-Rio (45.263 torcedores, recorde de público do estádio após sua remodelação), o Internacional teve uma postura elogiável contra o São Paulo e, depois de muita entrega em campo, derrotou seu adversário. Por sua vez, o time do técnico Diego Aguirre chegou ao seu quinto jogo consecutivo sem vitória. O Tricolor não derrota um adversário há mais de um mês.

Com o resultado positivo, o Internacional chegou aos 56 pontos no Campeonato Brasileiro. Os colorados retomaram a vice-liderança, do Flamengo e seguem com três pontos de distância para o Palmeiras, que derrotou o Grêmio também neste domingo. O São Paulo, campeão do primeiro turno, segue em queda e não consegue sair dos 52.

A tarde de Damião
Dúvida durante a semana, o centroavante Leandro Damião saiu do banco de reservas para dar a vitória ao Internacional. Substituindo William Pottker, que saiu ainda no primeiro tempo com dores musculares, o camisa 9 fez os dois gols do Colorado na partida e saiu como o nome do jogo. No fim, o jogador ainda sofreu o pênalti.

Gol relâmpago
O árbitro Braulio da Silva Machado mal apitou o início da partida, e o São Paulo já estava na frente do marcador. Logo aos dois minutos de jogo, Jucilei aproveitou um erro de Edenílson no meio de campo e abriu a jogada para Reinaldo. O lateral dominou a bola, levantou a cabeça e tocou na medida para Liziero, livre de marcação, apenas desviar a bola para o fundo da rede de Marcelo Lomba.

Empate merecido
Com a vantagem fora de casa, o São Paulo recuou em campo e apostou no contra-ataque. A tática não deu certo e o Internacional teve mais de três chances claras de empatar a partida, uma delas com D’Alessandro acertando a trave em cobrança de falta. Agressivo em campo, o Colorado conseguiu igualar o marcador já no fim da etapa inicial. Nico López fez excelente jogada pela direita e achou Leandro Damião na pequena área. O centroavante subiu mais alto que a zaga tricolor e anotou o gol.

A virada colorada
​Vivendo uma grande tarde, Leandro Damião precisou de apenas seis minutos no segundo tempo para fazer o gol que daria a vitória ao Internacional. Em jogada iniciada com D’Alessandro, Víctor Cuesta desviou a bola e o centroavante mostrou toda sua presença de área para, mais uma vez, escorar ao fundo da rede defendida por Jean.

O último do Inter
Nos acréscimos do segundo tempo, o Internacional encontrou tempo para fazer seu terceiro e último gol na partida. Dividindo a bola com Leandro Damião, Anderson Martins empurrou o centroavante colorado e o árbitro marcou o pênalti. Na batida, Nico López encheu o pé e sacramentou a virada colorada no Beira-Rio.

Próxima rodada
Na sequência do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Internacional recebe o Santos, no Beira-Rio, na próxima segunda-feira. Enquanto isto, o São Paulo volta a jogar no Morumbi. No próximo sábado, os tricolores medem forças com o Atlético-PR. Para este jogo, a equipe do técnico Diego Aguirre não terá as presenças de Anderson Martins e Bruno Peres, que estão suspensos pelo terceiro cartão amarelo.

Brad Haddin could be squeezed out of Australia’s Test side if Matthew Wade has an outstanding limited-overs campaign in the West Indies next month, according to the national selector John Inverarity

Brydon Coverdale29-Feb-2012

Brad Haddin could be squeezed out of Australia’s Test side if Matthew Wade has an outstanding limited-overs campaign in the West Indies next month, according to the national selector John Inverarity. However, Inverarity said for the time being Haddin remained Australia’s first-choice Test wicketkeeper after an encouraging finish to the recent series against India.Wade and Haddin have both been named in the squad for Australia’s five ODIs in the Caribbean and they will both be part of the group that stays on for the three Tests that follow, although that squad is yet to be confirmed. Wade has overtaken Haddin as Australia’s preferred one-day gloveman thanks to his impressive form in the tri-series and he is also the incumbent in T20s.That gives Wade seven matches in the West Indies, where Haddin will be the backup one-day wicketkeeper, before the longer version begins. Australia’s first Test begins in Barbados on April 7 and Inverarity did not rule out the possibility that Wade could have jumped ahead of Haddin in all forms of the game by then.”There’s the possibility there,” Inverarity said. “At the moment Brad Haddin played in the last Test and we beat India 4-0. Brad had slight fluctuations of form but finished on a high note. At this moment Brad is our Test wicketkeeper. If Matthew does extraordinarily well, of course he comes in to contention there. There’s rivalry in any touring party … there’s nothing new there.”Inverarity said he had been pleased with Haddin’s glovework during his recent Sheffield Shield appearance for New South Wales against Western Australia in Perth, although he made a pair with the bat. And although Wade has become the No.1 in the 50-over format, Inverarity said Haddin was clearly second in line and was needed in the one-day squad in the Caribbean due to the difficulty of sending a replacement from Australia if Wade was injured.”If Matthew Wade had broken a finger, say in ODI four [in the Commonwealth Bank Series], Brad Haddin would have come back into the side,” Inverarity said. “I think they’re both looking forward to and we’re looking forward to it. In competitive sport friendly rivalry pushes each other to greater heights. I think they’ll do that in the West Indies and I think they’re both looking forward to working together.”Wade, 24, said he was looking forward to using the tour to learn from Haddin, who made his international debut 11 years ago. He said there was no reason for either man to feel uncomfortable at the prospect of competing for a spot, and he had enjoyed the opportunities he had already had to ask Haddin about keeping at international level.”I think we can definitely work well together,” Wade said. “I know Brad reasonably well. I spoke to him at the AB Medal at length and he gave me a call when I got picked for the one-dayers. He’s been really giving. Hopefully we can both work well together. I can’t see there being any problem. I’m just starting international cricket and he’s been playing a long time. I’m just going to be looking to learn off him. I’d be stupid not to.”At the moment I’m keeping in the one-dayers and the Twenty20s so most of my attention is going towards that. I haven’t really even thought that far down the track [the West Indies Test series]. I’m involved in a pretty big series here at the moment so I haven’t thought too far down the track. Every time I go out on the cricket pitch I’m looking to play my best.”

Agora está no papel. Anunciado minutos antes do Botafogo receber o Santos pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, Zé Ricardo é o novo técnico do clube alvinegro. O vínculo do treinador expira em abril de 2019, após o fim do Carioca.

Aos 47 anos, o treinador tem passagens por Vasco e também pelo Flamengo. Sua chegada é devida à demissão de Marcos Paquetá, que ficou somente cinco jogos ao comando da Estrela Solitária, acumulando quatro derrotas no período.

Zé Ricardo era o preferido e o único que obteve proposta da diretoria do Glorioso, neste período sem comandante. O salário de Zé será maior do que o seus três antecessores em 2017 – Felipe Conceição, Alberto Valentim e Marcos Paquetá. O salário do novo treinador chega à casa dos R$ 250 mil mensais.

A quantia foi definida após Zé Ricardo oferecer uma contraproposta aos dirigentes do Botafogo, que, na tarde deste sábado, aceitaram e entraram em acordo. Para o jogo contra o Peixe, o novo técnico, que está fora do Rio, não assistirá ao jogo do Nilton Santos, porém enviou o seu auxiliar, Cléber Santos, para o estádio da partida que abre a 17ª rodada do Brasileirão.
