The continuous crush of high-profile cricket combined with the heat and humidity of the subcontinent seems to have taken its toll on England, with a string of players picking up fitness problems

Siddarth Ravindran in Chennai 16-Mar-2011″This is a good time to play England, they have been on the road a long time, in order to stay on in India they have to win,” West Indies captain Darren Sammy said on Wednesday, before joking, “Maybe some of them want to go home to their families, you never know.”Much has been made of the England team having spent only four days at home since late October when they departed to Australia for a dominant Ashes campaign. The continuous crush of high-profile cricket combined with the heat and humidity of the subcontinent seems to have taken its toll on the squad, with a string of players picking up fitness problems.The fast bowler Ajmal Shahzad is the latest casualty, missing Wednesday’s practice session at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after falling ill. It is still unclear whether he will recover in time for the must-win match against West Indies on Thursday. “We are not sure at this stage whether that will affect Shahzad’s chances of being selected for tomorrow,” England captain Andrew Strauss said. Shahzad had taken three wickets in the match against Bangladesh in Chittagong on Friday, and his possible absence increases the chances of James Anderson retaining his place in the XI.There was better news for England regarding two other key players who were struggling with their fitness, with Strauss and offspinner Graeme Swann both recovering from the stomach bug that preventing them from training on Tuesday. “I’m feeling very well, I was a bit laid low day before night and yesterday morning,” Strauss said. “Swann is also recovering well, should be practising today, don’t know if he is quite as buoyant as I am, very confident that he’ll be fine for tomorrow.”Chris Tremlett could join Tim Bresnan in the England side if Ajmal Shahzad’s illness doesn’t clear•Getty Images

Their most consistent batsman of the tournament, Jonathan Trott, had also been a member of their sick list earlier this week before recovering from a fever. These concerns are in addition to losing influential players Stuart Broad and Kevin Pietersen to injuries. Pietersen’s tweet outlining the bright side to his injury added to the claims of homesickness. “Well, as frustrated as I am to be missing the rest of the World Cup & IPL, I’ll be at home with my family & friends, I haven’t been home properly since 29 Oct.,” he had written after being ruled out of the tournament.Strauss, though, was adamant the time way from home and the amount of cricket England have played over the past six months were not affecting their performance. “We have been on the road for a long time, but fatigue is the last thing on our mind,” he said. “Potentially we have got four more games to play before a nice, long break.”The illnesses were common for teams touring the subcontinent, he said. “It’s happened to a lot of the sides in this tournament, that guys go down. It’s par for the course in this part of the world, we try and take all the precautions, but these things can strike at any stage.”He said the motivation of keeping the campaign for a first World Cup alive was motivation enough for his side. “We know what the prize there is. We are determined to make the most of the opportunity and take that prize,” he said. “Fatigue is not an issue for us at the moment, and it won’t be until right at the end of the tournament.”The end of the tournament could come as early as Thursday, giving Strauss’ team two extra weeks of rest at home, unless they round off their league phase with a win against West Indies and results out of their control go their way.

ESPNcricinfo’s preview of the third ODI between Bangladesh and Australia in Mirpur

The Preview by Brydon Coverdale12-Apr-2011Match FactsApril 13, Dhaka
Start time 2pm (0800 GMT)Mushfiqur Rahim has been one of the few shining lights for Bangladesh during this series•Associated Press

The Big PictureThe series has been decided, and with one match remaining before Australia enter hibernation mode for the winter, they have one last opportunity to experiment. James Pattinson, the Victorian fast bowler and brother of England’s one-Test wonder Darren, is with the squad and this would be the perfect time to hand him his debut. Cameron White was dropped for the second match and given that Callum Ferguson didn’t get to bat on Monday, there is no reason to expect that White will regain his position on Wednesday. And Tim Paine is on the sidelines as well; he could come in as a specialist batsman, having spent the whole World Cup and the first two games of this tour watching from the dressing rooms.Bangladesh simply need to regain some pride after being assaulted with a deadly weapon – Shane Watson’s bat. His unbeaten 185 featured 15 sixes and 15 fours, and broke all sorts of records, and the hosts must hope it hasn’t done irreparable damage to the confidence of the Bangladesh bowlers. Suhrawadi Shuvo, the left-arm spinner, won’t want to see Watson again after he was smashed for four consecutive sixes, and finished with 0 for 46 from three overs. Bangladesh might not win this third match, but even a competitive performance after being soundly beaten in the first two games would be an achievement.Form guide(most recent first)
Bangladesh LLLWW
Australia WWLLWWatch out for…While Bangladesh have struggled to compete with Australia, Mushfiqur Rahim has quietly gone about his business and only Shane Watson has scored more runs in the series than his 125. Add to that the fact that Rahim has not yet been dismissed, and he is one Bangladesh player who can hold his head very high after the opening two games. If only he could get a little support.His fellow wicketkeeper Brad Haddin hasn’t enjoyed the same results this series. He made 10 in the first match and 8 in the second, and worryingly for Australia on both occasions he was out walking down the pitch. Perhaps he is losing concentration at the end of a long summer, but Haddin would certainly like to finish the series on a high, personally.Team newsThe time is right for James Pattinson to make his debut, and with the series decided it could be any number of men who sit out to allow the young Victorian to play. Perhaps Mitchell Johnson could be rested, or if the selectors want to attack Bangladesh with pace, Xavier Doherty may make way. Tim Paine could be given a chance as well, although whether he would keep wickets or be included as a specialist batsman remains to be seen.Australia (possible) 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Callum Ferguson, 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Steve Smith, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 John Hastings, 10 Brett Lee, 11 Xavier Doherty/James Pattinson.It seems pointless for Bangladesh to take in the same XI after the thrashing on Monday, but who makes way is anyone’s guess. Raqibul Hasan has offered little during this series, and Alok Kapali would be the logical swap for him, unless they want to blood the young uncapped batsman Shuvagoto Hom. Including Rubel Hossain didn’t work on Monday, so Mashrafe Mortaza could be back in the mix.Bangladesh (possible) 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Shahriar Nafees, 4 Alok Kapali/Shuvagoto Hom, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Suhrawadi Shuvo, 9 Shafiul Islam, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Mashrafe Mortaza.Pitch and conditionsBoth teams know the conditions well after playing two matches at the venue within three days. However, the third match is the only day-night contest in the series, which could make dew a factor as the evening goes on. The forecast for Wednesday is sunny with a top of 35C.Stats and trivia Shane Watson broke all kinds of records on Monday, including the greatest strike-rate among all 150-plus innings in ODI history. Suhrawadi Shuvo’s figures of 3-0-46-0 on Monday gave him the third-worst economy rate of all time in an ODI, among bowlers who have sent down at least three overs in an innings. Dolar Mahmud holds the record with 3-0-49-0 against Sri Lanka in 2008, and Sreesanth is second with 3-0-48-0, also against Sri Lanka in 2008. If Bangladesh happen to win the final match, they will jump above West Indies on the ODI rankingsQuotes”It would be best if we don’t think about this Watson innings and instead think about continuing our batting positives.”

A torcida tanto pediu e por necessidade Vinícius Júnior vai começar a ser protagonista no Flamengo. Ou melhor, enfim o camisa 20 vai virar titular da equipe com apenas 17 anos. Contudo, isso já tira o sono da diretoria do Flamengo, que está mapeando o mercado em busca de reforços da peso, mas ao mesmo tempo já começa a convencer o jovem a seguir até junho de 2019 na Gávea.

A entrada de Vinícius Júnior no time titular aumenta mais o holofote em cima do garoto. Dentro de três meses, ele viaja para Madri e vai assinar o vínculo com o clube merengue por cinco temporada. Jogador mais caro da história do Flamengo, Vinícius tem a decisão em suas mãos: ficar por mais um ano no Fla ou seguir logo para o desafio europeu.

O Real Madrid colocou a decisão nas mãos do jogador, que tem conversado com companheiros brasileiros que atuam por lá. Inclusive, o técnico do Real, Zinedine Zidane, quer conhecer de perto o jogador em junho e pode ser decisivo para a escolha do camisa 20.

A diretoria do Flamengo já abriu conversas com a família do jogador para fazê-lo ficar por mais um tempo. Xodó da torcida, o garoto está seduzido em ficar por mais tempo, ainda mais agora que a chance bate a sua porta. Com a saída de Everton para o São Paulo, dificilmente ele ficará no banco de reservas. Ao menos que caia significativamente de produção com o protagonismo.

-Muda um pouco ser titular, porque começa a pegar ritmo de jogo. É diferente do que vir do banco. Dá para errar uma bola ou outra e pegar confiança no decorrer da partida. Entrando no segundo tempo não tem isso – afirmou Vinícius, que encara nesta quarta-feira o Santa Fe (COL), pela Copa Libertadores.

Quando entrou contra o Emelec (EQU) marcou dois golaços e garantiu o triunfo. A diretoria do Flamengo sabe o quanto precisa do garoto, mas teme a perda no meio do ano. O diálogo já foi aberto, mas a decisão está com o jovem.

E se arrebentar como todos esperam, até os madrilenhos vão fazer força para que sua passagem pelo Flamengo se encerre no meio do ano.

حقق ليفربول فوزًا مهمًا وصعبًا خارج أرضه، بثلاثية مقابل هدف في المباراة التي جمعته بأستون فيلا، ضمن الجولة 16 من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز على ملعب فيلا بارك.

شوط المباراة الأول بدأ حماسيًا، وأهدر واتكينز الهدف الأول لـ أستون فيلا، ولكن عاقبه محمد صلاح بعد 3 دقائق وسجل الهدف الأول لـ الريدز في الدقيقة الخامسة بعد تمريرة روبرتسون.

واصل أستون فيلا الضغط من أجل التعادل ولكن دفاع ليفربول كان بالمرصاد ومن خلفهم أليسون للتصدي أمام بونديا وواتكينز.

الدقيقة 28 كاد ليفربول أن يسجل الهدف الثاني، ولكن داروين نونيز أهدر انفراد تام بمرمى أستون فيلا بعد تألق الحارس أولسن أمام الأوروجوياني.

في الدقيقة 37 ومن ركنية مرت إلى محمد صلاح، مرر المصري إلى فيرجيل فان دايك ليسجل الهولندي الهدف الثاني للريدز.

شوط المباراة الثاني كان أستون فيلا أخطر، وأهدر العديد من الفرص أمام مرمى ليفربول، وسط تألق أليسون بيكر وتصرفات عجيبة من لاعبي الفيلانز.

الدقيقة 59 شهدت الهدف الأول لـ أستون فيلا برأسية واتكينز من عرضية ماكجين، ليدق ناقوس الخطر أبواب ليفربول.

ظل أستون فيلا يحاول، قبل أن يدفع كلوب بـ نابي كيتا وإليوت بدلًا من تياجو ألكانتارا وتشامبرلين.

حافظ ليفربول على توازنه قبل أن يقتل المباراة عن طريق بايشيتش البديل الذي دخل في الدقيقة 80 بدلًا من هندرسون، وسجل في الدقيقة 81 من صناعة داروين نونيز.

بهذه النتيجة يصبح رصيد ليفربول 25 نقطة ويصعد للمركز السادس، بينما أستون فيلا يبقى في المركز الـ12 بعدما توقف رصيده عند 18 نقطة. أهداف مباراة ليفربول وأستون فيلا

Ricky Ponting has called on Brad Haddin to stop wasting his positive starts at the top of the order, as Australia search for the big scores they will need to defend their World Cup title

Brydon Coverdale in Ahmedabad20-Feb-2011

Ricky Ponting has called on Brad Haddin to stop wasting his positive starts at the top of the order, as Australia search for the big scores they will need to defend their World Cup title. Haddin is one of the most experienced members of the side but he has been overshadowed by his opening partner Shane Watson in recent months, and hasn’t made a hundred in nearly a year.The Australians are in no doubt that Watson can go on and make big scores when it counts – centuries in the semi-final and final at the Champions Trophy two years ago are the proof of that – but they need Haddin to lift his output. During the home summer against Sri Lanka and England, he reached 20 on eight out of ten occasions, but his best effort was 54.It was a frustrating trend for a man who has now had two years to prove himself as an ODI opener. In 35 matches at the top of the order he has made two centuries and averaged 33.58, and while his ability is not in doubt, Ponting would like Haddin, who is one of the leaders within the group and has at times been vice-captain, to show more application once he builds a platform.”It’s something we discussed throughout the summer with him as well,” Ponting said. “We all understand, as top-order players, you have to make big scores. A 30 or 50 in any form of the game very rarely wins you anything. It’s your responsibility as a top-order player to be in late in the innings.”Hadds, sometimes I think the game can get a bit easy for him. He scores really freely and probably just gets a bit carried away with scoring as easily as he does. He needs to pull the reins back in a little bit, work the ball around in those middle overs. He still scores quickly – he’s got that ability to score boundaries that other blokes don’t have. He and Watson are really big keys for us. They both know that. I’m sure we’ll see them play well.”A strong start against Zimbabwe in Ahmedabad on Monday would be a boost for Haddin, who made a duck in his only warm-up innings, but the conditions in the subcontinent don’t always make it easy to get away briskly. And Zimbabwe are almost certain to open the bowling with a spinner, which will present a different challenge again for Haddin and Watson, who can both handle the slower men but enjoy the ball coming on to the bat.”When you come in on wickets like these over here, it’s hard to go in and hit the ball straight away because the pace of the wickets, and of the bowlers you’re going to face, are a bit more foreign than we’re accustomed to,” Ponting said. “Even at the top of the order, we know Haddin and Watson are going to score pretty quickly, but Pup [Michael Clarke] and I are going to need to take our time to get set and make sure that we build a partnership and keep wickets in hand through those middle overs.”Unlike Haddin, Ponting did enjoy some valuable time in the middle during the practice matches against India and South Africa, when he made 57 and 55. He is on his way back from a broken finger that ruled him out of the second half of the Australian summer, and despite suffering some discomfort in the nets on Saturday, he was confident he wouldn’t be affected during Monday’s match.”I haven’t been too restricted in the practice games that I’ve played,” he said. “The fact that I’d had four days without any batting was probably the major reason it stiffened up yesterday. It took probably until half-way through my training session yesterday that it started to feel right again. I’ve been fielding with it taped up because I just prefer a little bit of extra protection.”Both men returned to the nets on Sunday, keen to get their eye in before taking on Zimbabwe, but the real test will be when they face the stronger teams further down track. And if the top three of Haddin, Watson and Ponting fire against those sides, Australia will be well on the way to defending their title.

A grande festa do Cruzeiro merece destaque. Depois de perder para o Atlético, por 3 a 1, no jogo de ida, a equipe celeste garantiu a vitória por 2 a 0 no Mineirão e faturou o título do Campeonato Mineiro, o 37º da história do clube. O resultado esperado foi conquistado em cima de muito trabalho nos treinos e dedicação.

Seguindo a linha do time, o técnico Mano Menezes também não poupou provocações o rival ao afirmar que a vitória do Galo no primeiro jogo da final foi “coisa de primeiro de abril”, em referência ao dia da mentira.

– Tivemos a cabeça no lugar, passamos por um rival difícil, vencemos por 2 a 0 e acabou levando o melhor. O resto foi primeiro de abril e a gente sabe o que isso significa – disse o treinador ao jornal O Tempo.

Campeão da Copa do Brasil pelo Cruzeiro em 2017, Mano Menezes chega ao seu primeiro título estadual como treinador da equipe celeste. Com a certeza de um trabalho bem feito, o técnico comemorou a conquista a vitória sobre o maior rival.

– Tem de ser grande para ser campeão, como eu disse e ser grande tem de passar por momentos difíceis, isso valoriza a conquista.

Em clima de comemoração, o treinador não deixou escapar a última piada e aproveitou as eleições presidenciais de 2018 para brincar.

– Em um ano tão importante a gente já pode votar, pois já temos título.
O próximo compromisso do Cruzeiro é no Campeonato Brasileiro. Pela competição, a Raposa volta aos gramados no sábado para enfrentar o Grêmio, às 16h, no Mineirão.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are plotting a summer move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers who is currently on loan at Celtic.

That’s according to 90min.com who claim Wolves are among several clubs who want to sign Carter-Vickers after an impressive season in Scotland with him set to secure a League Cup and Premiership double.

The report also states that Celtic are keen to make his move to Parkhead permanent but the attraction of Premier League football might be too much for him to turn down. He also doesn’t seem to be short of suitors, so would no doubt command a high fee and wages. Any deal could cost Wolves a bargain £10m.

He’s better than Boly

If he did decide he wanted to make the move to the West Midlands then one of the players he would be competing with for a spot in the starting eleven would be Willy Boly.

Boly moved to Molineux for £10m in 2018 from FC Porto after a successful loan spell at Wolves the season before. He hasn’t appeared for the club much this season having suffered several injuries, so with Carter-Vickers proving more reliable this season perhaps it wouldn’t be too hard to displace Boly in the pecking order.

If you compare their average stats over 90 minutes Carter-Vickers performs better in many areas. He wins 68% of all his duels compared to 52% for the Wolves player.

Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has also described him as “immense” in some of his performances this season and Jan Vertonghen once dubbed the centre-back as an “absolute beast.” He has been exactly that in Scotland this term but he is also graceful on the ball.

Indeed, he’s better in possession with a stand out 90% passing accuracy overall compared to Boly’s 82%. If the 22-year old can replicate those numbers in the Premier League then he would be an asset for Wolves.

Age is also a key factor with Boly much older than Carter-Vickers meaning that with the USA international they can plan for the future knowing that he will still be around.

Ultimately if Bruno Lage wants to improve defensively then signing Carter-Vickers would be a good move, even if he doesn’t start he would be a great option off the bench or to come in for an injured player.
