Bell and Clarke see Warwickshire home

Ian Bell underlined his return to form with his second match-winning innings within a week as he helped Warwickshire to a six-wicket win over Northamptonshire

06-May-2012
ScorecardIan Bell underlined his return to form with his second match-winning innings within a week as he helped Warwickshire to a six-wicket win over Northamptonshire.Bell, who lost his place in England’s ODI squad over the winter, struck an unbeaten 82 to help Warwickshire to victory in their opening Clydesdale Bank 40 match of the season at Edgbaston.Bell found form ahead of the first Test against the West Indies at Lord’s with a century against Durham in the County Championship last week and maintained it with another unflustered innings as his side made 212 for 4 in reply to Northamptonshire’s 209 for 7. England colleague Jonathan Trott could make only 10.The pitch was the same one that was used for the Durham match, but it had lost much of its pace and suited the spinners.Bell, though, nursed Warwickshire through a difficult period in which they lost three wickets to Northamptonshire spinners James Middlebrook and Con de Lange to guide Warwickshire to victory with 15 balls to spare in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 103 in 13 overs with Rikki Clarke, who made an unbeaten 54.Bell, who insists he wants to recapture an England place in all formats of the game, completed a calm half-century from 62 balls with four fours and then launched left-armer David Willey for six high over long-on. Clarke rattled to his half-century from just 43 balls before he clipped Andrew Hall off his legs for the winning runs and his seventh boundary.Northamptonshire’s total, which was based around a busy 52 from captain Hall, was competitive but they lost wickets at crucial times and their only partnership of substance was 48 for the fifth wicket between Hall and Stephen Peters.Scotland international Kyle Coetzer made a breezy 44 which included a six and six fours, but the innings lost impetus after he got a leading edge to extra cover off Keith Barker.Barker, who took a wicket with his first ball when Alex Wakely chopped on, finished with three for 41 and helped to tie down the middle order with New Zealand off-spinner Jeetan Patel, who conceded only 24 in his eight overs.Peters helped his captain revive the innings, but he was bowled driving at Andy Miller when well set which left Hall to provide the late acceleration. Hall struck just two fours and pulled a short ball from Clarke for six as he reached a half century from 53 balls.Northamptonshire struck an early blow when Trott drove Chaminda Vaas low to Willey at point but Bell and Varun Chopra laid the platform for victory with a second-wicket stand of 57 before Chopra was taken down the leg side by Niall O’Brien off Middlebrook.De Lange took his first wickets in county cricket when William Porterfield was caught behind cutting out of the rough and Jim Troughton clipped to midwicket, but Bell and Clarke accelerated when the seamers returned to see their side home.

Ervine still invaluable for Hampshire

Sean Ervine played argubly his most valuable innings for Hampshire when the support of last man David Balcombe enabled him to reach an unbeaten century on a green pitch against Glamorgan at West End.

A little over a year ago, Sean Ervine thought hard about giving upcounty cricket to concentrate on playing for his native Zimbabwe inwhatever form of the game he could still participate. There was,though, something about the lure of Hampshire cricket – as well as the lure of becoming anEnglishman – that led him to stay put. It is just as well for Hampshire’ssake that he did, for his innings against Glamorgan was perhaps themost valuable he has played.On a green pitch which was indistinguishable from the rest of thesquare at the start of play, Hampshire, asked to bat, slumped to 97for 5 and then 204 for 8t. Ervine was dropped without scoring byMark Wallace, a low, difficult chance, and then on 76, a quitecatchable opportunity at long on. He relied on eye, instinct and goodtiming in making an unbeaten 109, his first century of the season.Ervine was also reliant on support from David Balcombe, who is too good to be goingin last. Together they put on 85 from 86 balls for the last wicket:entertaining hitting against an attack shorn of its three best seamersand which, until then, had performed perfectly respectably. Ratherthan defend in textbook manner and sooner or later be beaten by theconditions as much as the bowling, this pair simply looked to hit theball – hard.So a total of 316 could well be a pretty useful one. For this does notlook to be a four-day pitch. John Glover took the new ball forGlamorgan and moved it sufficiently off the seam to have Liam Dawsonleg before and Michael Carberry and James Vince taken by Mark Wallace.Simon Katich was his customary adhesive self, compiling 36 beforeplaying slightly across the line at Will Owen as if batting on theharder pitches of his homeland down under.Jimmy Adams and Michael Bates, by contrast, played straight andwatchfully. Or at least they did until the former played on to Owenand the wicketkeeper, who was in form and was driving particularlywell, was bowled by Jim Allenby. When Owen removed Chris Wood andKabir Ali with successive balls, Hampshire were 204 for 8. Onlythere was still Balcombe to come.His highest previous championship score was just 30, but he can bat.Or he looks as if he can bat. Ervine reached his century with a six overlong on off Allenby, having made his previous best score this season,75, against Glamorgan. His clean hitting emphasised why RodBransgrove, the Hampshire chairman, believes him to be a good enoughcricketer to represent England, as he has just become qualified to do.Had James Harris, Huw Waters and Graham Wagg been playing, thelikelihood is that Hampshire would not have reached 300. Even so,Wallace had little option but to bowl first when he inspected thepitch. Until the umpires appeared to have their own examination, andwhile the groundstaff were in their hutch at square leg, it really wasimpossible to tell where the match would take place. Still, this madefor an interesting day. And there is pace in the pitch.Glamorgan’s openers, the cerebral Gareth Rees, and Nick James, whoreplaced Stewart Walters, survived the seven overs they had to face ona sultry evening. Their side has mustered just one batting bonus pointthus far this season, an embarrassing statistic which provides justthe incentive they need to make some runs now.

سباليتي عن إشادة جوارديولا بـ نابولي: لست فخورًا.. لعبة للقضاء علينا

لم يكن لوتشيانو سباليتي، مدرب فريق نابولي، سعيدًا بالإطراء الذي وجهه مدرب مانشستر سيتي بيب جوارديولا تجاه النادي الإيطالي.

وكان جوارديولا قد أثنى على نابولي، واصفًا إياه بأفضل وأقوى فريق في أوروبا في الوقت الحالي.

ونجح نابولي في التأهل إلى ربع نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، مساء أمس، على حساب آينتراخت فرانكفورت بعد فوزه بنتيجة بخماسية نظيفة (مباراتي الذهاب والإياب).

وعندما سُئل سباليتي عن رأيه تجاه إشادة جوارديولا بـ نابولي، قال في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “oasport” الإيطالية: “أنا لست فخورًا بتلك التصريحات”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أنها مجرد لعبة صغيرة، نعرفها جميعًا، المقصود هو الضغط على الآخرين، يثقلك بالضغوط ثم ينتظر سقوطك، هذا أمر طبيعي”.

وواصل: “هل نضع نابولي أمام مانشستر سيتي؟ إذا كان بإمكانهم إنفاق 900 مليون يورو مقارنة بـ9 ملايين يورو لدينا، فلا بد أن يكون هناك سبب”.

واختتم: “أنا لا أشعر بالفخر، لا أشعر بأي شيء، كما قلت، إنها لعبة من أجل أن نشعر بثقة أكبر حتى يتمكنوا من القضاء علينا”.

Apito final dá início à confusão generalizada no Beira-Rio

MatériaMais Notícias

O término do duelo onde o Internacional superou por 2 a 1 o Vitória pelo Campeonato Brasileiro nem de longe serviu para acalmar os ânimos do confronto que, nos minutos finais, ganhou contornos de bastante tensão.

O primeiro grande ponto de discussão aconteceu na penalidade marcada pela arbitragem onde Lucas Fernandes tocou com o braço na bola em cobrança de falta, porém fora da grande área.Não à toa, entre a marcação e a batida de D’Alessandro, passaram-se pelo menos dois minutos de paralisação por uma reclamação generalizada de atletas em campo e até no banco de reservas do Vitória.

Depois disso, o jogo seguia carregado de emoção pela necessidade dos baianos em arrancar pelo menos um empate e do Colorado em segurar o triunfo dentro de seus domínios. No meio desse panorama, estranhamentos não faltaram com D’Alessandro, Lucas Fernandes, Edenílson, Jonatan Álvez…

E, quando Savio Pereira Sampaio encerrou o embate, a atração no gramado acabou sendo a confusão generalizada envolvendo principalmente os jogadores das duas equipes além da sequência de reclamações dos jogadores do Rubro-Negro Baiano.

E, em meio a essa confusão, o Vitória arrumou um desfalque para o embate na próxima rodada do Brasileirão frente ao Santos no dia 5 de outubro, em Salvador. Isso porque o atacante Neílton, camisa 10 e um dos bons nomes no sistema ofensivo na temporada, acabou recebendo o cartão vermelho.

'The guy who approached me was very honest'

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jul-2012″I actually enjoyed his company,” says Paul Nixon, the former England wicketkeeper, of the man who offered him millions of pounds to fix a match for Leicestershire.Nixon is one of the most idiosyncratic English cricket characters of this or any other age and in his new autobiography, , he discusses match-fixing openly – but doesn’t name the person who offered the cash. “The guy who approached me, we got on really well,” he tells Jarrod Kimber in the Cricket Sadist Hour. “He was actually a very honest and straight bloke with me.”The second and more ominous reason for Nixon not revealing his name is because of the fear of retribution. “When there’s enormous money being thrown around, you don’t know who’s in control of that money.”Nixon has tried to be as honest as possible about the dark side of cricket, but still holds back some information that he believes could harm his family. He refers to the “mysterious deaths” of Bob Woolmer and Hansie Cronje as a reason not to disclose everything he knows.In the interview Nixon also reveals how tight Cronje, a former team-mate, was: “He ate McDonalds and fast food, because it was cheap.” Although there were some attacking declarations when Cronje played, Nixon never suspected him of anything like match-fixing. “It was never talked about, because match-fixing didn’t exist,” he says.Nixon chats about some more bizarre issues, like the little man who sledges in his ear with negativity, his dyslexia and, perhaps most odd, a séance that he was involved in with Darren Maddy, Darren Stevens and Brad Hodge. Nixon claims that they contacted Ben Hollioake, the England allrounder who died in a car accident aged 24, during a rain-affected match day in a spooky Durham hotel, saying, “At one stage in the séance, all of us were in tears.”

São Paulo tem decisões justamente em momento de baixa técnica

MatériaMais Notícias

O São Paulo não precisava, mas criou um problema para si na sequência do Campeonato Brasileiro. Outrora líder isolado da principal competição do país, o Tricolor somou apenas 7 pontos nos últimos 18 disputados e perdeu a condição de time a ser batido. Agora, a equipe do técnico Diego Aguirre tem a obrigação de fazer bons jogos contra o Palmeiras, no Morumbi, e contra o Internacional, no Beira-Rio, para continuar vivo na briga pelo título, justamente quando dá mostras de que está perto de seu limite técnico.

Como perdeu pontos importantes para adversários que brigam no meio e na parte de baixo da tabela (América-MG, Paraná, Fluminense, Botafogo e Santos), o São Paulo não pode mais se dar ao luxo de tropeçar. Nas duas próximas rodadas, o Tricolor encara o Palmeiras, atual líder do Brasileirão, e na sequência, mede forças com o Inter, vice-líder. Se não somar pontos contra esses dois adversários, a equipe ficará em uma situação extremamente delicada.

O momento instável é digno de preocupação. Afinal, o time não tem rendido tão bem quanto no primeiro turno. Sobrecarregado, o meia Nenê está com dificuldades para criar as oportunidades de ataque. Os volantes Hudson e Jucilei, embora estejam dando sustentação defensiva, não têm conseguido chegar à frente. Na prática, isto tem reduzido as chances de gol do time, que acaba apostando suas fichas na velocidade e habilidade de Rojas, pela direita, e Everton (ou qualquer um de seus substitutos) na esquerda.

A cada jogo que passa, o time passa a dar mais mostras de que está próximo de seu limite técnico. Prova disto é que o São Paulo só fez dois ou mais gols em um dos oito jogos do segundo turno. As alterações comumente feitas por Aguirre não têm mais surtido efeito prático, principalmente quando é necessário reverter uma situação negativa em campo. Nos últimos jogos, o Tricolor até conseguiu demonstrar um bom futebol em determinados momentos, mas não fez os gols que precisava.

Diante deste contexto, o São Paulo tem pela frente seus dois maiores desafios nesta temporada. O objetivo do clube é conquistar sua sétima taça do Campeonato Brasileiro, mas, justamente, quando mais precisa mostrar força, tem derrapado. Os jogos contra Palmeiras e Inter serão divisores de águas para o Tricolor, seja para o bem ou para o mal. O trabalho de Raí, Aguirre e companhia estará em jogos nessas duas próximas rodadas.

هافيرتز: بعض زملائي في تشيلسي ينادونني بـ"الحمار".. والناس يعتقدون أنني ميسي

اعترف كاي هافيرتز، مهاجم فريق تشيلسي، أن بعض زملاءه في الفريق ينادونه بـ”الحمار”، وكشف عن علاقته بهذا الحيوان منذ أن كان صغيرًا.

وقال هافيرتز في تصريحات لموقع “جارديان”: “بعض زملائي في الفريق ينادونني بالحمار، ليس الأمر بسبب كرة القدم الخاصة بي، إنه شيء أعمق، منذ اليوم الأول، شعرت بعلاقة خاصة مع الحمير، إنه حيوان هادئ للغاية”.

وأضاف: “ربما أنا لاحظت نفسي فيهم لأنني هادئ أيضًا، إنهم يرتاحون طوال اليوم، لا يفعلون الكثير، يريدون فقط أن يعيشوا حياتهم، أحببتهم دائمًا، عندما أخسر أذهب إلى الملجأ وأنظر إلى الحيوانات وأرى شيئًا بشريًا فيها، لقد كان نوعًا من التعافي، مكانًا شعرت فيه بالسلام”.

وعن مبلغ صفقته الذي انتقل به من باير ليفركوزن إلى تشيلسي، قال: “كان السعر باهظًا بالنسبة لي، كنت أغلى لاعب في تشيلسي، لا أفهم مقدار الأموال التي تم دفعها، لكن هذا أمر طبيعي في كرة القدم، انظر إلى الصفقات التي أجريناها مؤخرًا، هذا يشكل ضغطًا لأن الناس يعتقدون أنك ميسي”.

وتابع: “كان عمري 20، 21 عامًا، الناس لا يرون ذلك؛ يرون السعر لذا عليك أن تكون رائعًا منذ اليوم الأول، يمكنك أن تشعر بالتوتر، وتقرأ ما يُكتب عنك وتسمعه”.

وسجل كاي هافيرتز هدف تتويج فريق تشيلسي ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا 2021، على حساب مانشستر سيتي.
