Hayley Matthews admits West Indies' batting a concern: 'We need to improve from top to bottom'

“It’s not a matter of what’s happening at the toss as we have struggled to get runs both in the first and the second innings”

Batting has been West Indies’ Achilles heel in women’s T20Is for some time now. Their middle-order woes have been hampering them for over the last couple of years. Since January 2021, West Indies’ middle order (Nos. 4 to 7) averages 12.12, the lowest among the Full Member teams in T20Is. In their first match of the women’s T20I tri-series against South Africa, Shemaine Campbelle, batting at No. 4, made 11 of the 24 that the middle order scored.While captain Hayley Matthews admitted it was a concern, she said that bigger contributions are needed from the top order, too.Related

“We’re missing a lot of big players,” Matthews said after West Indies’ 44-run defeat. “People like Chinelle Henry, who we usually have in the lower middle order that are capable of hitting the ball out of the park and even Chedean Nation, who played today but just hasn’t been able to get going just yet. So yeah, it’s the same story all around.”We need to improve from the top right down to the bottom of our batting line-up in the way that we are playing at the moment. It’s pretty clear we are not being able to put big enough partnerships. At the same time we have a lot of injuries with key batters out.”Their issues are not just restricted to the middle order. Since Deandra Dottin’s shock retirement last year, West Indies have yet to zero in on an opening batter to partner Matthews. Aaliyah Alleyne, primarily a bowling allrounder, had never batted above No. 7 in T20Is but was pushed up to open in nine matches – four against New Zealand and five against England all at home before the tri-series. The combination had a best partnership of 23 and she was not picked in the XI against South Africa on Saturday.Brittney Cooper, who returned to the squad ahead of the series having last played a T20I in September 2021, opened the batting as West Indies added 32 for the opening wicket in their chase of 142. Cooper looked in fairly good touch, hitting three well-timed fours before being dismissed for 14 off 13 balls. Matthews said that West Indies are still trying to find their best combination at the top and backed Cooper to come good.”At the moment we are trying players and we’re giving players the opportunity to grab that opening spot,” Matthews said. “Britney Cooper didn’t look that bad out there today, so hopefully she’s the one that can come out there and really produce [what we need]. The [T20] World Cup is the main goal for us and we are trying out different options to see what fits best.”Sometimes as international cricket goes, it’s about digging deeper. At the same time we need to get some more runs at the top of the order. It’s not a matter of what’s happening at the toss as we have struggled to get runs both in the first and the second innings.”West Indies also are working around managing Stafanie Taylor, as she makes her return from an injury layoff. She had to retire hurt in the third ODI against New Zealand last September and is working her way to getting back on the field.”For now it’s just about the physio and medical people and the coaches managing the load with Stafanie,” Matthews said. “The T20 World Cup is the main picture for us here in South Africa and we want to try and manage her as best as possible and have her fit and ready for the World Cup.”

مانويل جوزيه يكشف كواليس مجده مع الأهلي: كادوا يطردونني.. والزمالك حاول التعاقد معي 3 مرات

في حوار مطول مع صحيفة “Maisfutebol” البرتغالية، استعاد المدرب الأسطوري مانويل جوزيه ذكرياته مع النادي الأهلي، كاشفًا عن مواقف لا تُنسى خلال رحلة جعلته أحد أكثر المدربين تأثيرًا في تاريخ القارة الإفريقية.

وقال جوزيه، الذي يعيش حاليًا حياة هادئة في مدينة “إسبينيو” البرتغالية، إنه لم يكن يتوقع النجاح الذي حققه في القاهرة، خاصة بعد بدايته المتعثرة، مشيرًا إلى أنه قال لموكله عند مشاهدة الأهلي لأول مرة: “لقد أوقعتني في ورطة، لم يكونوا يركضون دون كرة، ولا يملكون عقلية احترافية، وكنت على وشك النوم من المباراة”.

وتابع: “خسرنا من الزمالك 2-1 في الدور الأول، وسمعت الجماهير تصرخ، جوزيه ارجع بيتك، في الدور الثاني فزنا 6-1، والمشجعون ما زالوا يرسلون لي صورًا من تلك الليلة، كانت لحظة لا تُنسى”.

وعن شعبيته الجارفة، قال مازحًا: “في القاهرة، لم يكن بإمكاني السير في الشارع، الناس كانوا يلاحقونني لالتقاط الصور، زوجتي كانت تقول، خذ الصورة قبل أن يصطدم أحدهم بسيارته”.

وأضاف موقفًا طريفًا آخر: “كنت بحاجة إلى نظارات جديدة، فقال لي أحد الأصدقاء المصريين سنذهب إلى عيادة ممتازة، وبالفعل، رافقته، لكن المشكلة أن موقف السيارة كان يبعد قرابة 300 متر عن محل النظارات، قلت له ممازحًا: نمشي؟! إنني لا أستطيع السير حتى خمسين مترًا، ومع ذلك، كنت مضطرًا، فقلت له، سأتابعك مطأطئ الرأس، وكلما صدمك أحدهم لا تتوقف، فقط تابع السير”.

واستمر ضاحكًا: “أرصفة القاهرة ضيقة للغاية، ولو أُتيح للسائقين، لركنوا سياراتهم فوق أسطح المنازل”.

وتحدث مانويل جوزيه عن موقف طريف ومرهق آخر أثناء ذهابه لشراء نظارة طبية في القاهرة، حيث فوجئ بتجمهر كبير أمام المحل بعد أن عرف الناس بوجوده، قائلاً: “بدأ الأمر بعدد قليل من الأشخاص يدقون الطبول ويغنون، ثم تحول الأمر إلى حشد من العشرات، ومع مرور الوقت ازداد العدد، واضطرت الشرطة للتدخل، ووصل عدد الضباط إلى ثمانية لحمايتي، في النهاية، قال لي صاحب المحل، لا تأتِ مرة أخرى، نحن من سنوصلك النظارة إلى الفندق، فقلت لنفسي، حتى لو مت، لن أعود إلى هناك”.

وعن صعوبة الخروج من المكان، أضاف: “بمجرد ركوب السيارة، صعد الناس على السقف وغطاء المحرك، استغرق الطريق إلى الفندق ساعة ونصف بدلًا من 20 دقيقة، حتى التاكسي لم يكن حلًا، فالسائقون كانوا يطلبون صورًا ثم يقولون أن جوزيه معهم، لم أكن أستطيع الذهاب إلى مطعم دون أن يتخلى الزبائن عن طعامهم لالتقاط صورة”.

ورغم الشعبية الجارفة التي حظي بها مع جماهير الأهلي، كشف جوزيه أن نادي الزمالك حاول التعاقد معه ثلاث مرات، لكنه رفض تمامًا، قائًلا: “قلت لهم صراحة، هل أنتم مجانين؟ إن دربت الزمالك فلن أتمكن من مغادرة منزلي، ستكون خيانة لا تُغتفر”.

كما تطرق إلى تفاصيل حياته اليومية أثناء إقامته في مصر، موضحًا: “عشت لثماني سنوات كاملة في جناح بفندق ماريوت، الذي كان يملكه آنذاك دونالد ترامب، وكان النادي الأهلي يتكفل بجميع النفقات، باستثناء الطعام فقط”.

وتحدث جوزيه عن رحيله الأول من الأهلي، مؤكدًا أنه جاء بسبب خلاف مع أحد المديرين الرياضيين الذين تدخلوا في عمله الفني، قائًلا: “أبلغتهم بوضوح، إن أقالوه سأبقى، وإن لم يفعلوا سأرحل، ولم يُقل، فرحلت، لكن الجماهير طالبت بعودتي، وعدت من جديد، ونجحت في قيادة الفريق لتحقيق 21 لقبًا خلال 8 سنوات”.

وختم حديثه مؤكدًا صرامته في العمل والتواصل مع اللاعبين، قائًلا: “كنت أقول للمترجمين دومًا: أي تحريف أو تلاعب بكلامي، سواء تحت ضغط من الإدارة أو اللاعبين، يعني أنك انتهيت فورًا”.

O Palmeiras anunciou nesta sexta-feira as três trocas possíveis na lista das quartas de final da Libertadores, entre elas a inclusão de Endrick, que recentemente teve seu contrato profissional publicado no BID. Além do jovem de 16 anos, Miguel Merentiel e José Manuel López foram inscritos pelo clube nesta fase eliminatória do torneio.

Com isso, está descartada a inscrição de Bruno Tabata, cuja contratação vem sendo negociada pelo Verdão junto ao Sporting de Portugal. Para que fosse possível a entrada do reforço na lista, todos os trâmites teriam de ser fechados nesta sexta para que o nome aparecesse no BID da CBF. Sendo assim, a chegada do jogador ficará para depois e quem sabe ser inscrito numa possível semifinal, quando mais três trocas na lista serão permitidas pelo Conmebol.

Dessa forma, o Palmeiras definiu as três trocas permitidas na lista original de inscritos para a disputa das quartas de final da Libertadores. Merentiel, López e Endrick, que hoje faz parte do elenco sub-20 alviverde, entram nos lugares de, respectivamente, Daniel (camisa 9), Serafim (camisa 18) e Deyverson (camisa 16).

A inscrição de Endrick foi possível, pois seu contrato profissional foi publicado no BID da CBF na última quinta-feira, o que dá a ele condições de jogo, já que recentemente ele também completou 16 anos e pode atuar pelo time principal nas competição disputadas pelo clube. Acontece que ele está lesionado e deve demorar algumas semanas para estar à disposição da comissão técnica.

Enquanto isso, os reforços gringos já eram cartas marcadas para essa atualização da lista do Verdão. Merentiel e López já estão no clube há algum tempo, mas somente puderam estrear na última semana, depois de aparecerem no BID por conta da reabertura da janela de transferências. Eles são as únicas contratações do Alviverde até aqui.

Chelsea legend: "World-class" £62m striker now "really wants" to join Blues

Chelsea have now been told that a “world-class” striker “really wants” to move to Stamford Bridge, and a deal would be “pretty easy” to get done.

Blues identify several top strikers as summer targets

The Blues are one of many top Premier League sides with intentions of signing a top striker in the summer transfer window, and they have now started to identify a number of key targets.

There have been suggestions a stunning £151m move could be made for two Real Madrid stars, namely Endrick and Rodrygo, and there is a determination to get a deal over the line, although the Spanish side have no intention of letting either player leave.

Jonathan David has also emerged as a target for Enzo Maresca’s side, who have expressed a strong interest in the Canadian, and there is a feeling the striker could be set for an imminent move to the Premier League.

A development has occurred in the west Londoners’ pursuit of Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram, as they have now leapfrogged Premier League rivals Liverpool in the race for the Frenchman’s signature.

Other targets include the very highly-rated Alexander Isak and Victor Osimhen, with the latter player still thought to be a target, despite a late deal falling through last summer.

Galatasaray's VictorOsimhencelebrates scoring a goal that was later disallowed

Although the move collapsed, Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel has now revealed Osimhen would still be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge, while also stating a deal could be relatively straightforward.

The Nigerian said: “We almost got the deal for Victor Osimhen done last summer. The club wanted him, he wanted to come as well. I know exactly where we stopped. If we have to pick it up again in the summer, it’s pretty easy to get it done. He really wants to come.”

"World-class" Osimhen in red-hot form for Galatasaray

After the move to Stamford Bridge fell through last summer, the Nigeria international opted to move to Galatasaray on loan, rather than remaining at Napoli, and he has been extremely impressive in front of goal throughout the campaign.

The 26-year-old is in red-hot form as of late, netting six goals in his last three Turkish Süper Lig games, while he has also impressed in the Europa League, picking up seven goal contributions in as many matches.

Football writer Matt Barlow has also lauded the Galatasaray star as “world-class”, indicating that he could be a real upgrade on the much-maligned Nicolas Jackson, who has received his fair share of criticism since arriving at Stamford Bridge.

Osimhen is set to be available for just £62m this summer, as a result of a release clause in his Napoli contract, and Chelsea cannot afford to pass up the opportunity to sign a top striker for a very affordable fee.

49ers must axe Rangers dud who Ferguson said could "become a big player"

Glasgow Rangers avoided embarrassment by coming back from 3-1 down to win 4-3 in a dramatic Scottish Premiership clash with Dundee on Saturday.

The Light Blues needed two long shots from Tom Lawrence and James Tavernier to get back level, before Cyriel Dessers secured all three points late on.

It was Lawrence’s first goal for Rangers since October of last year against FCSB in the Europa League, and it remains to be seen whether or not he will still be at Ibrox next term, as his contract is due to expire this summer.

The Rangers players who are out of contract this summer

The English forward is one of three senior first-team players who are out of contract at the end of this season, alongside Ianis Hagi and veteran defender Leon Balogun.

As per Transfermarkt, Lawrence and Hagi are both valued at around £1.7m and would, therefore, not depart as hugely valuable assets if they were to move on for nothing. Balogun, meanwhile, turns 37 this summer and is valued at just £115k.

Rangers have some big decisions to make because their Romanian attacking midfielder has contributed with three goals and seven assists in 21 Premiership matches, whilst Lawrence has scored four goals and provided two assists in 15 league outings.

Despite both players being out of contract, there is a Gers dud who is worth even less than them, and the 49ers investment group, part of the takeover that has been agreed in principle, must ruthlessly ditch him this summer – Ross McCausland.

Why Rangers must finally sell Ross McCausland

The Northern Ireland international came up through the academy at Ibrox and emerged as a first-team regular early on in Philippe Clement’s reign in the 2023/24 campaign.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global gam

McCausland, who turns 22 this summer, has failed to kick on after making his breakthrough at senior level, though, and has been an unused substitute in 15 of his last 23 appearances in the matchday squad in all competitions.

As you can see in the table above, the Northern Irish winger has not impressed Clement or Barry Ferguson enough to earn regular game time, and he has made little impact on the pitch with the opportunities that have come his way.

The lightweight, who has lost 91% of his aerial duels in the Premiership this season, is 22 this year and has only fallen further down the pecking order, rather than progressing, since his first-team emergence, which does not suggest that he is on the right path to being a star for Rangers.

That might come as a surprise, particularly to Ferguson who had been impressed with him before even arriving back at Ibrox. Speaking in an interview in 2023, he noted that McCausland “has a great opportunity to become a big player for Rangers.” Sadly, that has not come true and is unlikely to.

Rangers forward Ross McCausland.

At the time of writing (31/03/2025), McCausland is valued at £1.3m by Transfermarkt and this means that he is worth even less than Hagi and Lawrence, despite having a contract through to the summer of 2027.

This illustrates his struggles on the pitch this season because he is deemed to be worth even less than players who are set to be free agents later this year.

It is now down to the 49ers to finally and ruthlessly ditch the young dud, because he is not showing signs of progress at Ibrox, when the summer transfer window opens for business, with a view to replacing him with an upgrade by dipping into the market.

Yorkshire haunted by defeat again as Alex Lees adds to Headingley hurt

Durham pile up 217 for 3 on way to first win at the ground in a decade

David Hopps28-May-2023

A badly-publicised switch to a Sunday morning start at 11.30am under slate-grey Headingley skies does not immediately strike you as the future of T20 cricket and it failed to bring any change of fortune for Yorkshire as they succumbed to a comprehensive 28-run defeat against Durham. Still, as various websites also revealed that the game was starting at 3.30pm and 6pm, at least they could console themselves that they would have two more goes to put it right. More on those results later.Disgruntlement is rife as Yorkshire’s winless runs since August 21 in all competitions drags on. When the pressure is on, they look psychologically damaged, their sense of self weakened by the schisms in the county over not just the racism allegations, but the way they were handled. Senior pros wondering what they have let themselves in for; kids wondering when the misery will all end.About 6000 turned up, the rest presumably in mourning for the possibility of Leeds United’s potential relegation from the Premier League a few miles down the road later in the day. Yorkshire look a poorer side in T20 than in the Championship and, in the Championship, they are bottom of Division Two. The Roses T20 is at Headingley on Thursday and Lancashire will never have been stronger favourites.Down in Happy Valley, the soap opera runs on apace. Alternative candidates to the return of Colin Graves as chair, a figure associated with the fallen old regime but the man who could tip Yorkshire into bankruptcy, now include not just a Saudi prince and Indian investors, but apparently no lesser figure than Mike Ashley, the former Newcastle United owner and majority shareholder of Fraser’s Group, who is worth around £2.5 billion so he could spare a £20m loan or so to keep the club functioning and have a little dabble in cricket.Ashley’s involvement does not immediately smack of an obsessively progressive future, but as the average progressive appears to have about £80 in the bank, a mortgage, and no spare time, it might be politic not to be too picky about these things. And at least the replica shirts would be discounted.When you are up against it, the last thing you need is a former player returning to give you a battering, but Yorkshire endured that, too, as Alex Lees’ forthright 90 from 53 balls spearheaded Durham’s charge to 217 for 3, their highest score against Yorkshire. Lees and Ollie Robinson, who completed affairs with an unbeaten 64 from 30, both registered career-bests in this format. Durham’s first T20 win at Headingley since 2012 was a breeze. The north-east renaissance is gaining pace.Yorkshire had made an ideal start when Matthew Fisher removed Graham Clark for nought with the first legitimate ball of the innings, finding early outswing to have him caught at the wicket. Clark had made an unbeaten hundred in Durham’s 10-wicket trouncing of Northants two days earlier – Durham’s first hundred in this competition for six years – whereas Fisher had suffered a terrible night at Worcester, looking many a mile away from the bowler who won an England Test debut in the Caribbean little more than a year ago. But patterns in T20 can change in an instant and with the ball swinging, for Fisher bowling was a happier undertaking.But Lees, with that mournful power of his, soon reestablished Durham’s superiority. David Wiese curbed Lees’ leg-side blows, but was just as readily picked through the off side. Yorkshire’s bowling became ragged and somewhat downcast. Stands of 85 with Michael Jones and 111 with Robinson were built without much threat.Litte moments can encapsulate a side’s morale. There have been few finer fielders in county cricket than Adam Lyth, but he dropped a challenging catch when Lees was 73, pedalling back at mid-off. Wiese, the unfortunate bowler, followed up with a full toss which Lees duly deposited into the West Stand to secure his best T20 score.The potential Yorkshire saw when they signed Ben Mike from Leicestershire has yet to come to the fore, although he did dismiss Lees when Jafar Chohan took a fine diving catch at deep backward square. If there was optimism to be had perhaps it came in the shape of this slender legspinner, a graduate from the South Asian Cricket Academy, who bowled three relatively inexpensive overs.Robinson’s 64 from 30 was a typically inventive affair from one of the summer’s most eye-catching young cricketers and it reduced Jordan Thompson, in particular, to headshakes as his mix-ups failed to stem the flow. Thompson is Yorkshire’s bellwether bowler, his mood often revealing their general state of mind, and it was not good.Yorkshire lack much, but they lack a death bowler most of all and Robinson’s finale – a six over long-on and four through extra cover – left Thompson with the most expensive figures of the day.Yorkshire’s response with the bat never convinced. Lyth’s brief spree had a sense of “stuff it” about it, his 24 from 8 ending when a shot went all Virgin Galactic and Robinson held the catch after a successful re-entry. (Branson’s space rocket, incidentally, was called VSS Unity which is a concept that would never catch on in Yorkshire).Shan Masood, the captain charged with turning things round, chipped weakly to short midwicket and when Dawid Malan’s loft of Nathan Sowter fell short of the extra cover boundary, Yorkshire’s three batters of undeniable quality had all perished for 65 by the seventh over. Matthew Revis’ lumbering run-out after Jonny Tattersall called him for an off-side single added to the sense of chaos and, although Tattersall and Jordan Thompson did a spot of window-dressing, Ben Raine dismissed both.When will this end? Romain Rolland, the French dramatist and novelist of a century or more ago, famously called for “pessimism of the intelligence, which penetrates every illusion, and optimism of the will.” Basically, stay optimistic but understand the difficulties. That powerful combination of realism and idealism is at the heart of Yorkshire’s challenge. But authenticity is hard to find.It is difficult to envisage the arrival of a united Yorkshire after Lord Kamlesh Patel’s colossal mismanagement of a delicate and unacceptable state of affairs and when, instead of a general desire for a better, more harmonious future, there is so much conflict and resentment. Change will only come from within and ultimately it is down to those in charge to drive it, inspire it and finance it.Which brings us to Adil Rashid, who sharp-eyed readers will have noticed is yet to make an appearance in the Blast, and whose absence has not been officially explained by either England, to whom he is centrally contracted, or by Yorkshire.Yorkshire have privately intimated that England want Rashid to undergo a period of rehab which, conveniently, will presumably extend to the start of the white-ball internationals in September. This might be understandable – because legspin is an arduous undertaking and his shoulder could well be creaking like a horror film door for all we know – were it not for the fact that nobody was talking about rehab when he went to the IPL, played only the first two matches and for the next six weeks with Sunrisers Hyderabad was most at risk of bench rot.If Rashid is not playing quite why he is not being utilised in promotional work around minority-ethnic areas, with the blessing of ECB, is hard to understand. Does he not recognise that he could play a major role? But that’s the problem with revolutions. Administrators and politicians protect their backs, few players show an interest in the bigger picture, self-interest and distortions are everywhere, and the whole shebang trundles on.

صدمة جديدة لـ برشلونة بعد فشله في التعاقد مع نيكو ويليامز

كشفت تقارير صحفية عالمية عن تطورات جديدة تخص صدمة تعرض لها نادي برشلونة بعدما فشل في التعاقد مع لاعب فريق أتلتيك بلباو، نيكو ويليامز، في موسم الانتقالات الصيفي لذلك العام.

كان نيكو ويليامز مرتبطًا بقوة بخطوة الانتقال إلى صفوف برشلونة هذا الصيف، ولكنه فاجئ الجميع بتجديد عقده مع بلباو حتى 2035، صباح يوم الجمعة.

من جهة أخرى، يرتبط ماركوس راشفورد نجم مانشستر يونايتد بالانتقال لصفوف برشلونة وقد انتشرت تقارير صحفية في الآونة الأخيرة أنه مستعد لخفض راتبه أيضاً في سبيل الانتقال للعملاق الكتالوني.

ويعد ماركوس راشفورد أحد بديلين لدى برشلونة لارتداء قميص النادي بعد فشله في ضم نيكو ويليامز لاعب أتلتيك بلباو، ولكن بطل الدوري الإسباني تلقى صدمة جديدة في هذا الصدد.

وبحسب “ديلي ميل” البريطانية فإنه من المتوقع أن يشارك ماركوس راشفورد بشكل كامل في البرنامج الإعدادي التحضيري لمانشستر يونايتد للموسم الجديد عندما ينضم لمقر التدريبات في كارينجتون صباح الاتنين.

ويعود ماركوس راشفورد إلى مانشستر يونايتد بعد أن قضى النصف الثاني من الموسم الماضي معاراً إلى أستون فيلا إثر خلاف مع روبن أموريم مدرب الشياطين الحمر.

ويتعين على مانشستر يونايتد أن يقرر ما إذا كان بإمكانه دمج ماركوس راشفورد في الفريق وإلا سيتعين عليهم بيعه أو الموافقة على انتقال آخر على سبيل الإعارة وكلاهما يتطلب موافقة اللاعب.

وبحسب مصادر مقربة من ماركوس راشفورد فإنه لا يمانع العودة للنادي وسيبذل قصارى جهده في التدريبات.

ومن المتوقع أن يكون اللاعب صاحب الـ 27 عاماً حاضراً بكامل طاقته في استعدادات النادي للموسم الجديد طالما بقى لاعباً في يونايتد على الرغم من الغموض الذي يحيط بمستقبله.
