Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThe Durban Test was called off on day five, more than half an hour before the scheduled start of play, as the issues with the soft, damp outfield persisted. That meant 11 of the 15 sessions were lost to rain and the subsequent wetness and softening of the outfield.The damage was caused by a substantial downpour after the second day’s play when the recently relaid outfield took on 65 mm of water. Since then, there had been no rain, but the outfield – which was not fully covered when the rain came down – did not recover in the weak, winter Durban sun.Three days ago, when the last of the cricket was played, New Zealand were 15 for 2 in response to South Africa’s 263 with the ball swinging around significantly and the Test promising to be an interesting contest.
Match abandoned Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsRain abandoned the 12th match of the CPL, between Jamaica Tallawahs and Barbados Tridents, and spoilt Chris Gayle’s plans of registering another destructive half-century in the tournament. Rain first delayed the start of the match to reduce it to 12 overs a side, and then returned after 10 overs of Tallawahs’ innings to not allow any more play.Tallawahs were put in to bat after a delay of more than two hours and openers Chadwick Walton and Gayle attacked from the outset. Walton collected boundaries against Wayne Parnell before Gayle’s six off Ravi Rampaul in the fourth over increased the run rate further.The stand was broken when Shoaib Malik, brought on in the sixth over, had Walton caught at long-off for 25. Sangakkara then laid into Malik in the eighth over to collect 16 runs with the help of two fours and a six. Gayle raised the bar further by smothering three sixes in the next over, off David Wiese, to cross the team’s 100 in the ninth over.But Rampaul soon uprooted Sangakkara’s off stump when the batsman made room. Heavy rain interrupted with Tallawahs on 116 for 2, with Gayle on 47 off 20.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board have named former India batsman Lalchand Rajput as the new head coach of their national team
ESPNcricinfo staff25-Jun-2016The Afghanistan Cricket Board has named former India batsman Lalchand Rajput as the new head coach of their national team. He takes over the position vacated by former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq in April 2016 and his first assignment is a tour of Scotland, Ireland and the Netherlands in July and August.According to ACB chief executive Shaiqullah Stanikzai, Rajput was chosen ahead of former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Yousuf, former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs and former West Indies fast bowler Corey Collymore. The three of them had applied through their agents while Rajput’s name was recommended by the BCCI.Previous coaching experience and administrative work had given Rajput an edge. He was in charge of the Indian team when they won World T20 in 2007 and for the controversial tour to Australia in 2007-08. Following his retirement after a 17-year playing career, he served as joint honourary secretary of the Mumbai Cricket Association.Rajput is in line for a two-year contract, but that decision would be finalised after the upcoming tour of Europe. Afghanistan play seven ODIs against Scotland and Ireland, and an Intercontinental Cup match against Netherlands.”I am excited to work again with an international team,” Rajput told ESPNcricinfo. “The challenge is to get Afghanistan into the top 10. They also don’t have the Test status and so our goal would be to work towards achieving that in the long term.”It is learnt that the ACB had been in talks with former Sri Lanka fast bowler Chaminda Vaas, but they fell through.Rajput has played two Tests and four ODIs for India, to go along with his 110 matches and 7988 runs in first-class cricket. He has also coached his state side Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy and in the Indian Premier League. Rajput has had successful stints at the helm of India Under-19 and A teams. He was also among the final contenders to take over as India’s full-time head coach. But with Anil Kumble’s appointment on Thursday, Rajput was free to take up the ACB’s offer.
Tottenham Hotspur's recent appointments have been uninspiring in execution but did admittedly seem like enthralling captures at the time.
To first tempt Jose Mourinho, and later Antonio Conte to north London, marked a huge coup for a side that have not won a trophy since 2008. These serial winners were expected to transform the mindset within the club, yet both have already moved on, and Daniel Levy's search has restarted.
Few could have predicted them both to fail so miserably, however the coach that came between them was a far less surprising flop.
Swooping for Nuno Espirito Santo, who had left Wolverhampton Wanderers that summer, the Lilywhites welcomed a hard-headed leader with little history of success in an effort to recapture their identity.
With a tenure lasting just 17 games, the Portuguese boss clearly failed in that venture.
Tottenham manager news – Ruben Amorim enters the frame
Now, with their search once again rumbling on, the Spurs chairman could be set to repeat this failure with his compatriot Ruben Amorim, who continues to be linked with the vacancy in Portuguese media.
Despite being widely regarded as one of Europe's hottest young coaches, his style of play draws fearsome similarities with the 49-year-old who now plies his trade in Saudi Arabia.
How does Ruben Amorim play?
Employing a 3-4-3, closely mirroring Nuno, the 38-year-old instead opts to defend the space rather than go man for man. Whilst this could leave gaps, if the players all subscribe to the method, it can prove incredibly fruitful.
Across his tenure at Sporting CP, which has spanned 158 matches, his team have waltzed to 106 victories, scoring 308 and conceding just 141. However, current Porto boss Sérgio Conceição gave his verdict on a style that might not be as free-flowing as these statistics suggest.
He claimed:
"Sporting is a very pragmatic team that knows what it wants. They are a team that defends with a lot of people, because the squad is aware that it is necessary to defend itself to win games. Sometimes simplicity is the most difficult to counter."
nuno-espirito-santo-tottenham-hotspur
Whilst this has given way to a league title among other honours, it might not be enough for the Premier League, should he make the move this summer.
Spurs' squad have already proven that this kind of defensive solidity does not comply with them, and for all Amorim's successes, it might not be a perfect marriage to move to north London.
In fact, the similarities with Nuno will surely petrify supporters of the club, at the prospect that this fellow Portuguese manager could come in and enact similar horrors to their last one.
Everton's offensive woes have been there for all to see this season, with Frank Lampard seemingly having passed on his struggles to successor Sean Dyche.
The former Burnley boss enjoyed an initial upturn in form upon joining, claiming some crucial wins against league leaders Arsenal and Brentford, but they have since lost their last two games; the most recent of which drew ugly scenes at Goodison Park, who were not happy with the manner of their defeat to Fulham.
That crushing blow has left them above the relegation zone only on goal difference, and with a tricky run of fixtures remaining, at the mercy of their competitors to secure survival. It almost feels like the Toffees are reliant on other clubs failing to win, rather than being able to pick up vital points of their own accord.
This can be traced back again to a lack of potency in the final third, as Dyche had to watch his side spurn numerous golden chances before falling behind again last time out.
demarai-gray-everton-stanley-mills
Up front, there is no reliable source of goals, which explains why their top three scorers for the season are all wingers, with one having left in January.
However, with four goals, Demarai Gray and Dwight McNeil are the lowest-scoring top scorer of any Premier League team. Their standing is hardly a badge of honour.
With the latter being the only real source of goals of late, perhaps the other wide spot could have become available for someone with fresh ideas and youthful energy; someone like Stanley Mills.
Who is Stanley Mills?
Having seen his stock rise dramatically in the last year or so, given his steady integration within the first team, the 19-year-old has seemingly been prepping for a consistent senior football birth for some time now that is yet to emerge.
Just two appearances within the first team is admirable, but given the teenager's form in the Premier League 2, there is no reason why he has not been made a permanent member of Dyche's squad.
After all, the speedster boasts eight goals in just 13 league appearances, having scored a further three in just four EFL Trophy starts.
For comparison, Alex Iwobi and Gray, who would be the competitors for that other wide spot, have a combined goal tally of just five.
Not only that, but the last non-penalty goal either of them scored was back in December.
This marks a stark contrast with the young trickster, who has seemingly modelled his whole game around the pursuit of finding the back of the net. His father, former Leeds United defender Danny Mills, outlined this:
"In the modern game, I think he’s a winger or a No 10, as he can create and has an eye for goal."
With little to lose given the lack of output the alternatives bring, Mills boasts a fine wildcard option who could save Everton's season, should he be given the chance.
Chelsea fans have been reacting to the latest speculation linking them with a move for Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic.
The Lowdown: Potter’s admiration
Graham Potter is reportedly looking to sign a new centre-forward this summer with the future of Romelu Lukaku uncertain and has identified the 23-year-old as someone he wants to bring to the Premier League.
According to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs, the Serbian is attracting interest from the Blues and Manchester United ahead of the upcoming window with a move elsewhere a likely possibility.
The Stamford Bridge outfit made contact with his agent in December and it’s claimed that the boss is a big fan of his target, with the same reporter saying:
“Vlahovic, for me, is still one to watch from Chelsea’s point of view, and that’s because I think there’s a real opportunity to prise him away from Juventus, especially given their circumstances at the moment.
“He’s not been particularly happy playing under Max Allegri, and Graham Potter really likes Vlahovic as well.”
The Latest: Chelsea fans react…
Taking to Twitter, Chelsea lovers delivered their opinion on Vlahovic potentially making the switch to SW6. They said:
“WHAT this has to be a joke.” – @twrIdd
“We can do way better.”’ – @CFCshq
”Terrible idea, not even better than Tammy.” – @Billy_LDN_
“Why? He’s horrendous.” – @CarefreeJoe99
“If a player is about to leave a club so quickly I wonder what it says.” – @Ronak_Kamat
“Even Juventus fans want Vlahovic out he is so mid.” – @CFC_Gab
“We’re getting the wrong Striker from Serie A again.” – @CFCboyvit
“Would rather Osimhen he’s a Chelsea fan. He’s played in the Ligue 1 as well.” – @ss_cfc1999
The Verdict: Risk worth taking
Vlahovic doesn’t sound like a popular option among supporters, but looking at his return, he would be the perfect man to come in and fill that natural centre-forward role that Chelsea have been missing.
The Juventus talisman has clocked up 107 goal contributions (91 goals and 16 assists) in 204 career appearances, showing how prolific he can be in the final third when regularly given a chance.
Standing at 6 foot 2, he would provide an aerial threat and be an ideal target up top offering a different dimension to what the manager already has at his disposal.
Vlahovic also only being 23 years of age means that he would be viewed as a signing for the long-term future of the club which is exactly the kind of stability the hierarchy need to start building.
Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is demanding one thing as a major priority from any new Spurs manager.
The Lowdown: Conte exit looming?
Despite possessing an option to extend his stay by a further 12 months, it is believed that Lilywhites head coach Antonio Conte could well depart at the end of this Premier League season.
There is apparently a decreasing appetite behind-the-scenes to keep Conte with reliable reports claiming that sporting director Fabio Paratici has already drawn up a managetial shortlist.
On this proposed list, it is believed that Mauricio Pochettino, Roberto De Zerbi, Luis Enrique, Thomas Tuchel, Marco Silva and Thomas Frank all feature as potential candidates to replace Conte.
There have been major calls for Spurs to re-appoint Pochettino in particular with members of the Tottenham fanbase pleading for the Argentine’s reunion.
The Latest: Sky reporter shares Levy manager demand…
Taking to Twitter, reliable Sky journalist Lyall Thomas has shared exactly what every Spurs manager candidate will need to pass Levy’s interview.
Indeed, it is believed that impressing star striker Harry Kane, commanding his respect and potentially persuading him to stay is ‘top of the job spec’.
Thomas said:
“Keeping Harry Kane is Daniel Levy’s top priority and top of the job spec for any new manager (IF Conte leaves) is being able to command Kane’s respect and help keep him at the club.”
The Verdict: Huge priority…
Regardless of who eventually comes in to replace Conte if he does leave, there is little arguing that keeping Kane happy and at the club should be very much top of the priority list.
Tottenham appear to have an array of talented coaches to target for the managerial role, but the same certainly cannot be said of strikers to replace Kane.
Anybody who comes in to succeed the England international would most likely command a marquee fee and it is debateable whether they would contribute to the same effectiveness as Kane.
Boasting 20 goals in 27 league games, the 29-year-old is also Tottenham’s best-performing player by average match rating this season (WhoScored).
His ability to drop deep and link up play is also a huge asset to Spurs with Kane clinching both the Playmaker of the Year award and Golden Boot at the end of this 2020/2021 season.
Homegrown and Tottenham’s prodigal son, perhaps even the greatest managers in world football would have a mountainous task on their hands filling a Kane-shaped hole in Spurs’ first team.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag could be looking to raid his former club Ajax once again, amid reports that the Dutchman is eyeing a move for Ghanaian sensation, Mohammed Kudus.
What’s the latest on Kudus to Man United?
According to Football Insider, the Red Devils are said to have ‘made contact’ with the 22-year-old regarding a potential summer move, with the player himself seemingly keen on reuniting with Ten Hag in England.
The report suggests that the versatile forward – whose existing deal in Amsterdam is set to run until 2025 – could command a fee of around £48m if he is to make the switch ahead of next season, with the Old Trafford outfit having already snapped up Lisandro Martinez and Antony from the Eredivisie side last summer on £56.7m and £86m deals, respectively.
This follows a report from Manchester Evening News earlier this week that suggested the United boss believes Kudus has ‘the attributes to excel in the Premier League’, while The Athletic revealed back in December that the 53-year-old also ‘admirers the skill and dynamism’ of the youngster.
Could Kudus be Man United’s next Martinez?
Should Ten Hag bring in the former Nordsjaelland man in the coming months, the experienced coach will be hoping that the fleet-footed gem can replicate the impact of the aforementioned Martinez, in particular, at the Theatre of Dreams.
While Antony has somewhat flattered to deceive thus far – having been branded a “bluffer” by talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor – the World Cup-winning Argentine has been a rock-solid presence at centre-back, having been lauded as an “absolute monster” by teammate Luke Shaw.
Credited by his manager with helping to bring “personality” and “character” to the club, the 25-year-old has seemingly ‘relished’ the challenge of adapting to life in the Premier League, as per BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks, having also been vital in ending the club’s almost six-year trophy drought.
While Kudus will be aiming to make an impact at the other end of the pitch, the 5 foot 9 speedster can look to Martinez as inspiration with regard to how to transition from the Netherlands to English football, with the hope being that the exciting talent can also thrive for the Red Devils.
Lauded as a player “destined for big things” who has an “amazing engine” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, the 21-cap machine has already contributed 16 goals in just 32 games in all competitions this season, offering the flexibility to be able to feature through the middle, on the flanks or in an attacking midfield berth.
Despite seeing his side ultimately crash out of the Champions League group stage, Kudus was particularly impressive in his six outings in the competition as he provided four goals and two assists, notably endearing himself to his potential future employers after scoring against Liverpool at Anfield back in September.
The left-footed ace has not only provided a cutting edge in the final third but is also a real threat with his ability to beat a man and drive his side up the pitch, showcased by the fact that he ranks in the top 1% among his peers in the Men’s next eight competitions, as per FBref, for successful take-ons, as well as in the top 5% for progressive carries.
Such quality would undoubtedly provide further firepower to United’s attacking arsenal, with Kudus a viable option to consider this summer in the search for a new centre-forward recruit.
Ewan Murray believes that not having control over signings would put Ange Postecoglou off the Leeds United move.
The Lowdown: Postecoglou not in the frame
While Sky Sports have indeed spoken about how long Leeds United have tracked Postecoglou, and believe he is ‘highly regarded’, it looks as though he isn’t featuring very prominently on their list of potential candidates.
This is because they have seemingly been interested in people such as Carlos Corberan, Andoni Iraola and Arne Slot already, with very little success coming out of any of their pursuits.
However, Posetcoglou may not even be a suitable fit for Leeds as he clearly has the final say on all transfers given the number of players that have arrived from the J-League, a league in which he worked in for a decent amount of time, and it’s unclear if he’d get that control at Elland Road.
The Latest: Lack of control may put Postecoglou off
Murray has spoken on The Press Box podcast that Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani not relinquishing control over transfers could be why Postecoglou doesn’t leave Celtic for Leeds right now.
He said: (4:15) “He is the master of all before him at Celtic and Celtic sign players that he wants to sign, they don’t have a sporting director, they have a recruitment department obviously but the manager has his own knowledge of players that Celtic sign in conjunction with the chief executive that is what they do.
“He wouldn’t get that element of control certainly not at a Premier League club in England where there are layers upon layers, of sporting directors and more interference for more of a better word from recruitment people, he wouldn’t get the scope he has at Celtic to do his job and he will know that.
“If you were him you’d be careful where you went to because there are not many clubs in major leagues in Europe that would give him that level of control.”
The Verdict: Leeds look to have other ideas
There hasn’t been much talk of Leeds going for someone such as Postecoglou but after being rejected by Slot from Feyenoord, they may well look towards the Australian as someone they could tempt.
With their next game on Sunday, it appears very clear that someone won’t be in the dugout on a permanent basis, but Orta and Radrizzani must get someone in at the beginning of next week as they have a huge game against Everton.
Whoever is going to be the next Leeds manager will want as much time as possible to look at what they will be working with as it’s a squad that was seemingly assembled for Jesse Marsch, only for the boss to be sacked a few days after the window closed, showing he probably had little say on the signings.
