Surrey head coach likens move to asking Premier League football team to play with 10 men

Matt Roller13-Jul-2023

Gareth Batty, Surrey’s coach, has compared the County Championship’s two-week trial of the Kookaburra ball to telling teams to play with ten men or changing the shape of a football midway through the Premier League season.The experiment, which saw the Kookaburra ball used instead of the standard Dukes over the last two rounds of county fixtures, was recommended by Andrew Strauss’ High Performance Review, commissioned in the aftermath of England’s 4-0 Ashes defeat to Australia in 2021-22.The review said that the trial would give the ECB “a firmer understanding” of the difference between the two balls, suggesting that using the Kookaburra instead of the Dukes could force “the development of a wider range of skills” among English seamers and enhance the role of spinners.Related

But Batty described the trial as “very silly” and “a kneejerk reaction” to England’s defeat in Australia. “It’s like saying next week, we’ve got to play with 10 men,” he told ESPNcricinfo. “That seems silly to me. We don’t change the shape of the ball in football halfway through; we don’t mess up what is going on.”Speaking after his Surrey side drew with Nottinghamshire at The Oval, Batty said that the timing of the trial was “illogical”, citing the possibility of players being called up for England and using a different ball to the one they had been using in domestic cricket.”If anybody were to be called up from county cricket, bowling with a Kookaburra ball, it makes no sense that they’re having to change to a Dukes ball,” he said. “There are different characteristics to the two balls. I like them both equally. I’m certainly not criticising the fact that we’re using it but the timing of it is questionable.”Peter Moores, Notts’ coach, suggested that the competitive integrity of the Championship was undermined by the trial. “I don’t like the thought of mixing up balls in a season, because it doesn’t feel right,” he said. “If you start with one ball, I’d like to use it [throughout].”Moores added: “I can see exactly why the ECB want to test it out and have a look at it and how it’s reacted… generally, the Dukes ball is a good ball but over the last couple of seasons, it’s tended to have to be changed a bit too much for me and that’s something we want to try and get away from because as a ball gets older and deteriorates, that’s when spinners come into the game.”I think the [Kookaburra] ball has played pretty well on the pitches we’ve played on. We played at Taunton and we played here. Both pitches had a reasonable covering of grass which I think helped movement and kept carry in the ball. The ball didn’t go out of shape, which I think is a good thing because it brings spinners into the game.”But Batty insisted that he was unclear why the trial had been introduced, and that if the intention was to bring spinners into the game, it hadn’t worked. “I wasn’t privy to those meetings,” he said. “Nobody has asked – from what I understand – anybody that is in a position at counties to evolve and create England players [about it]. That seems strange.”Does it bring spinners into it? I don’t think that it looks like it has done across the counties. There’s a few counties who have made pitches very dry to try and bring spin into it because they feel like the ball won’t move laterally, which is absolutely fine and I totally get that. That’s a positive, both for batters and spinners.”Batty cited the decrease in the number of points available for a draw – from eight to five, compared to 16 for a win – as evidence that English cricket wants a “quick fix” when it comes to creating spinners, rather than clear long-term thinking. “The points system has negated spinners this year,” he said.”Let’s say it as it is: everybody is playing for wins and losses now. A draw means less than it did last year. We have changed as current champions how we think about the game because of the points system. Everybody needs a quick fix because you want to win; unfortunately, you don’t get a quick fix with spin.”

O Palmeiras desembarcou na cidade de Curitiba, no fim da tarde desta segunda-feira, para enfrentar o Athletico-PR, em jogo marcado para esta terça, na Arena da Baixada, pela ida da semifinal da Libertadores. E o elenco pôde perceber que apoio não vai faltar na capital paranaense, já que foi recebido com muita festa no hotel.

A delegação do Verdão está hospedada na região central de Curitiba, perto do estádio em que vai atuar às 21h30, nesta terça. Um grupo grande de palmeirenses estava à espera dos jogadores e da comissão técnica em frente ao hotel. O ônibus com os atletas chegou já no início da noite trazendo um pouco mais de frio para a cidade.

Mas a temperatura congelante não impediu que a torcida alviverde cantasse e gritasse enquanto os jogadores saíam do ônibus para entrarem no hotel. Abel Ferreira foi o mais festejado pelos torcedores, além de Dudu, Raphael Veiga e Gustavo Gómez.

Quem não estava com a delegação era a dupla Gustavo Scarpa e Danilo, que estão suspensos e ficaram em São Paulo. Gabriel Menino, que deve ser o escolhido para a vaga de volante, veio para o Paraná e recebeu apoio dos palmeirenses que estavam no local. Já para a vaga de Scarpa, a dúvida fica entre López, Wesley e Bruno Tabata.

Leila Pereira também chegou com o grupo, mas veio em uma van separada, que também trouxe o vice-presidente Tarso Gouveia e o presidente do Conselho, Seraphim Del Grande. A presidente também foi bastante ovacionada em sua chegada ao hotel do Alviverde.

O elenco deve fazer uma ativação dentro do hotel nesta segunda-feira, como é praxe desta comissão técnica, mas o trabalho de campo foi finalizado nesta segunda-feira pela manhã, ainda na Academia de Futebol, antes de os jogadores embarcarem para Curitiba.

اتخذ مسؤولو نادي الهلال السعودي، قرارًا بشأن اللاعب المغربي عبدالرزاق حمدالله الذي تواجد في صفوف الزعيم معارًا من نادي الشباب، في كأس العالم للأندية.

وكان الهلال، تعاقد مع عبدالرزاق حمدالله، قبل ساعات من مباراة فلومينينسي البرازيلي في دور ربع النهائي من كأس العالم للأندية، بسبب إصابة الثنائي ميتروفيتش وسالم الدوسري.

وبعد خروج الهلال من بطولة كأس العالم للأندية، عقب الهزيمة من فلومينينسي، وتوديع المسابقة العالمية، أنهى نادي الهلال تعاقده مع اللاعب المغربي حمدالله، بالتراضي بين الطرفين حيث أنه شارك لمدة 15 دقيقة فقط مع الزعيم.

ووفقًا لصحيقة “اليوم” السعودية، فإن نادي الهلال، قرر صرف مكافأة مونديال الأندية لـ عبدالرزاق حمدالله لاعب الفريق، مثلما حصل كافة لاعبين الفريق خلال الفترة الماضية، وتم حسم هذا القرار بصورة رسمية، وإبلاغ اللاعب بهذا الأمر خلال الساعات الماضية”.

The left-armer produced a stunning first over but England quick Olly Stone limped off after three balls

ECB Reporters Network30-Jun-2023

Birmingham 172 for 8 (Yates 65, Shaheen 4-29, Ball 3-33) beat Nottinghamshire 168 (Moores 73, Hasan 3-25, Lintott 3-27) by two wickets Birmingham Bears booked themselves a home quarter-final in the Vitality Blast with a two-wicket victory over North Group rivals Notts Outlaws at a damp Trent Bridge despite losing four wickets to Pakistan ace Shaheen Shah Afridi in the first over of their innings as they chased 169 to win.The Bears, already sure of a place in the knock-out stages after five straight wins before this, found themselves reeling at seven for four as Shaheen, at 23 already regarded as among the best bowlers in the world in this format, gave away five wides with his first ball but then took wickets with his first, second, fifth and sixth legal deliveries.But, after the Outlaws lost their England quick Olly Stone after bowling just three balls on his comeback from injury, opener Rob Yates put together a calm 65 from 46 balls with five sixes that ultimately proved to be the foundation for a victory completed with five balls to spare with vital runs from Jacob Bethell (27) and Jake Lintott (27 not out) in the middle and later stages of the innings.Despite Tom Moores hitting 73 from 42 balls, the Outlaws always looked to be under par with 168 from their 20 overs, Hasan Ali taking 3 for 25 and Lintott 3 for 27. Afridi’s 4 for 29 and Jake Ball’s 3 for 33 proved in vain and Outlaws need to beat Leicestershire Foxes at Trent Bridge in their final game to join the Bears in the knock-out stages.Asked to bat first after struggling for runs in their last three matches, the Outlaws suffered an early blow as Alex Hales continued his own poor run by chopping on to Henry Brookes for four but Joe Clarke and Lyndon James found some late momentum in the powerplay, James clearing the Larwood and Voce Stand with an enormous six over midwicket off Brookes.Yet from 61 for 1 after six overs they were checked again by the Bears spinners, with both Clarke (26) and Matt Montgomery bowled by Lintott in consecutive overs as the Outlaws reached halfway at 86 for 3.Lintott, the left-arm wrist spinner, picked up his third wicket when James, in his most productive Blast innings to date, cut straight to backward point for 37, but gave Moores a life on 21 when he spilled what should have been an easy boundary catch off Olly Hannon-Dalby.It turned out to be an expensive miss in the context of the innings as the wicket-keeper made the most of that and another slice of luck on 28 when a steepler off Glenn Maxwell dropped safe by hammering sixes off Maxwell, Lintott and Hannon-Dalby twice as 45 were added in the last six overs.But that was against the loss of six wickets as Pakistan international Ali signed off his Bears stint by having Steven Mullaney caught on the fence, trapping Matt Carter leg before and bowling Moores with the last ball of the innings after Maxwell had removed Imad Wasim, leg before, and Afridi via a catch at long-on before Stone was run out as the last three balls of the innings all brought wickets.Any hopes of straightforward night for the Bears seemed to be obliterated in Afridi’s extraordinary first over, which began with five wides but then saw Alex Davies yorked and Chris Benjamin bowled attempting a scoop off the first two legal deliveries, followed by two singles and another two wickets off the final two balls, Dan Mousley falling victim to a stunning one-handed catch by Stone at short cover and Ed Barnard castled first ball by another stunning yorker.More drama followed as Stone, playing in his first Blast match of the season after a long absence with a hamstring injury, had to leave the field after bowling just three balls. Yates began to assert himself with sixes off Carter and Ball but Maxwell bottom-edged into his stumps off Ball and the Bears were 60 for 5.Thanks to Afridi’s heroics, the Bears were three runs behind where they needed to be on the DLS chart when rain brought an interruption with the visitors 76 for 5 after seven, but the break, which in the end cost no overs, game the Bears time to gather their senses and at 101 for 5 after 10, with Yates having completed a 27-ball fifty that included four sixes, they were beginning to look favourites.Bethell was needlessly run out in the 12th over, putting the outcome in the balance again with 51 needed from 50 balls, but as the requirement came down to 34 from the last five overs it was clear that the Outlaws needed to be rid of Yates if they were not to slip to defeat.In the event, they claimed his wicket with the next ball as the left-hander sent a delivery from Ball skywards and Clarke took a fine diving catch at cover as Yates departed for 65. Ball raised home hopes again when he dismissed Ali with two overs left but Henry Brookes hit the winning boundary off Imad in the final over.

Leicestershire recover from slow start but still slip to first defeat of Metro Bank Cup

ECB Reporters Network08-Aug-2023

Josh Hull, Leicestershire’s beanpole teenage left-arm quick, bagged the first four-wicket haul of his senior career but it was not enough to prevent a first defeat for the Foxes in this year’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup, with Nottinghamshire Outlaws prevailing by four wickets at Grace Road.Chasing a revised target of 206 after rain reduced the contest to 44 overs per side, the visitors crossed the line with 12 balls to spare after Lyndon James had top-scored with 82, backed up by Matt Montgomery’s 35 and wicketkeeper Dane Schadendorf’s punchy 29 not out. Hull finished with 4 for 43 from his nine overs.Earlier, Wiaan Mulder’s unbeaten 84, his third half-century in as many matches in the competition so far, led a Foxes recovery from 78 for 6 to 214 for 9 after former Yorkshire seamer Tom Loten, with a career-best 3 for 26, and Brett Hutton (3 for 42) had threatened to make it a shortened day.After winning their opening Group A matches so emphatically, Leicestershire found the going much tougher against their East Midlands neighbours, whose seam attack carried on where they had left off in dismissing Essex for 69 at Chelmsford last week.The Foxes slipped from 27 without loss after five overs to 41 for 3 in the ninth, Rishi Patel chipping to cover off Hutton, who also drew Sol Budinger into nicking a ball outside off stump. Loten then uprooted skipper Lewis Hill’s off stump with his first delivery.Hutton, who took 7 for 26 here in this fixture last season, picked up a third wicket with a ball that squeezed between bat and front pad to trap Colin Ackermann leg-before, leaving the Foxes 52 for 4.Although there was clearly some help for the bowlers under an overcast sky, Peter Handscomb settled himself with three early boundaries and with two half-centuries to his name already in the competition looked in the form to lead a rebuilding job. Yet just as rain began to fall, the Australian was run out at the non-striker’s end when Dane Paterson deflected a Mulder drive into the stumps.Two brief stoppages followed, in between which Louis Kimber, who had smashed 89 off 62 balls as the Foxes pulled off a record run-chase to beat Surrey at The Oval, perished for a six-ball duck, paying for lack of footwork as he was leg before to Loten.The fightback, instead, was led by Mulder, with assistance from a lower order in which Tom Scriven’s 25 helped the seventh wicket add 62 before Roman Walker, Chris Wright and Hull stuck around long enough for Mulder to inflict some punishing blows, clearing the rope off Calvin Harrison, Hutton and Liam Patterson-White, who also conceded six to Walker.File photo: Lyndon James anchored the chase•Getty Images

Loten’s third wicket came when Scriven drove him in the air to mid-off, Walker was caught at long-off trying to attack Harrison’s legspin and Paterson had Wright well caught at extra cover by Haseeb Hameed.Needing to score at slightly more than four-and-a-half an over, the Outlaws lost opener Ben Slater in the second over when he was bowled off an inside edge but were comfortably placed at 60 for one after 12 when the introduction of Hull dealt them a double setback.The 6ft 7ins left-armer, still only 18, angled one in to bowl the left-handed Ben Martindale between bat and pad, ending a second-wicket stand of 51 with James. Two overs later, he dismissed the right-handed Hameed with a full length delivery, the ball cannoning into middle stump as the Outlaws skipper played across its line.James, who had looked assured enough to that point, completed a seven-four half-century from 60 balls but was dropped on 51 – a chance to keeper Handscomb down the leg side as Mulder took over from Hull at the Bennett End, the bowler having been unlucky a couple of balls earlier when Montgomery edged just out of Handscomb’s reach on the off side.Unfazed, James found the boundary twice on the leg side in Mulder’s next over to leave Nottinghamshire needing 90 from 18 overs, which looked well within their compass with seven wickets in hand, only to be thrown back into the balance when James aimed a big swing at Wright and was caught behind, throwing his wicket away somewhat, more so when Montgomery was undone by some extra bounce from Hull and was comfortably taken by Handscomb.But then back-to-back sixes, one swatted away by new man Schadendorf off Mulder, the next an uppercut by Liam Patterson-White to a short ball by Hull, lifted the pressure off the Outlaws, who lost the latter when he was bowled making room to cut Hull. But Schadendorf hit two boundaries each off Scriven and then Hull in the next two overs to effectively finish the job.

O jogo deste domingo, no Estádio da Serrinha, colocou frente a frente duas equipes com estratégias distintas: o Goiás, time com menor posse de bola do Brasileirão, e o Flamengo, dono do segundo melhor ataque e que gosta de ter o controle da partida. Foi assim, respeitando as suas características, que os times de Jair Ventura e Dorival Júnior ficaram no 1 a 1, com gols de Diego e Matheus França.

Com o resultado, o Flamengo foi aos 45 pontos, mas perdeu uma posição para o Internacional e viu a distância para o líder Palmeiras subir para nove pontos. Já o Goiás, com 36, é o nono colocado da tabela do Campeonato Brasileiro. Confira, no detalhe, clicando aqui!

FLAMENGO FAZ PRIMEIRO TEMPO RUIM
​
Com um time mais próximo do titular do que nas últimas rodadas da Série A, o Flamengo repetiu o primeiro tempo ruim que teve contra o Ceará, quando atuou com mais reservas em relação a este domingo. Individualmente, Marinho e Cebolinha não foram bem, e Everton Ribeiro, sozinho, não pôde produzir o volume de jogo necessário.

Assim, o time de Dorival foi para o intervalo sem um chute certo.

GOIÁS NÃO SAI NA FRENTE POR POUCO

Já o Goiás foi mais eficiente em sua estratégia. No início, incomodou a saída de bola adversária ao subir a marcação. Depois, com as linhas baixas e apostando no pivô de Pedro Raul e na velocidade de Dadá Belmonte, criou boas chances. Na melhor delas, Diego ficou cara a cara com Santos, que com coragem, saiu e tirou o ângulo do volante.

Antes, o goleiro do Flamengo também havia defendido finalização perigosa de Dadá, da entrada da área, em outra lance de velocidade.

SUBSTITUIÇÕES E PLACAR ZERADO…
​
Após o intervalo, a única mudança nas equipes foi a saída de Dadá Belmonte (desconforto muscular) para a entrada de Matheus Sales. Sem uma de suas principais opções, o Goiás viu a intensidade do Flamengo crescer e passou a ter mais dificuldades na marcação.

O time de Dorival Júnior, assim, conseguiu acertar o gol três vezes antes dos 20 minutos – o que não havia feito em toda etapa inicial. Neste momento, o técnico do Flamengo apostou nas entradas de Arrascaeta e Rodinei. A ausência de um centroavante mostrava-se evidente em campo e, na sequência, entraram Mateusão e França.

GOLS SÓ NO FINAL: TUDO IGUAL!

Dentro do plano, o Goiás era mais eficiente e foi dentro de sua melhor característica que abriu o placar no Serrinha. Lance em velocidade pela direita terminou com a bola nos pés de Pedro Raul, dentro da área. O pivô funcionou e o atacante só escorou para Diego, mesmo escorregando, finalizar sem chance para Santos, já aos 35.

A resposta do Flamengo foi imediata – e com a participação do banco. Arrascaeta cobrou escanteio, Léo Pereira antecipou Tadeu e, com a bola viva dentro da área, Matheus França empurrou para o gol. A validação só veio após revisão do árbitro de quase quatro minutos.

Após buscar o empate, o Rubro-Negro seguiu com a posse de bola, mas não voltou a ameaçar a meta defendida pelo goleiro Tadeu.

OS PRÓXIMOS DESAFIOS DE FLAMENGO E GOIÁS

Agora, o Flamengo volta as atenções para a Copa do Brasil. O jogo de volta da semifinal da Copa do Brasil, contra o São Paulo, é nesta quarta-feira, no Maracanã. O Rubro-Negro venceu a ida por 3 a 1.

Pela 27ª rodada do Brasileirão, Goiás e Flamengo voltam a campo no próximo domingo, dia 18. O Esmeraldino visita o Bragantino, às 11h, enquanto o Rubro-Negro tem o clássico com o Fluminense, às 16h.

Players have been moved around, seemingly haphazardly, and the results have mostly gone against them so far

Where have Bangladesh faltered?

The quality of Bangladesh’s batting at the start of their World Cup match against New Zealand was almost matched by the awkwardness of the conversations at the end of the day in Chennai.Najmul Hossain Shanto struggled to explain why Bangladesh were unsure about the positions of the batters in the middle order, while assistant coach Nic Pothas’ convoluted clichés left many befuddled.Shanto, who had settled into the No. 3 role in all three formats for the last 12 months, has batted twice at No. 4 so far. Mehidy Hasan Miraz took Shanto’s place at No. 3 when that happened. Shakib Al Hasan has switched between Nos. 4 and 5, while Towhid Hridoy has been at No. 7 after making most of his runs this year at No. 5. Mushfiqur Rahim, meanwhile, has been at No. 6, even though the evidence suggests he should, perhaps, move up to No. 4.Related

Mahmudullah didn’t have to bat in the win over Afghanistan, was dropped for the England game, and batted at No. 8 against New Zealand; he hadn’t batted that low in an ODI since 2010.When asked the question at the post-match press conference, Shanto said captain Shakib and coach Chandika Hathurusinghe would be better placed to answer the question. He, however, said that the batters were made aware of their new positions before every game, but admitted that it took a bit of time to adjust to the new roles.”I am prepared to bat at any position for the team. I have scored runs at No. 4 before. I just haven’t scored runs in two games [in the World Cup],” Shanto said. “The decision [to change the order] is with the captain and coach. I can bat anywhere they tell me to. It does take a bit of time to adjust. Everyone has to be a little bit flexible to bat in any position. We are informed ahead of time. We are aware of our batting positions.”Now we are talking about it because nobody has performed in those [new] positions. When Mehidy was sent up the order against Afghanistan in the Asia Cup, we didn’t talk about it much. Some of these things are right, some are wrong. The batters haven’t made runs. Miraz and I batted in those positions for the left-right combination. We might have two lefties against the new ball. We don’t have many lefties down the order.”Shanto, the vice-captain of the side, also said that none of the batters had complained about the tweaks. “I think the middle-order batters – those who bat at Nos. 4, 5 and 6 – there’s flexibility in some teams. In our side, every batter is quite comfortable. Nobody is complaining that they are being given new batting positions every day.”On Friday, Litton Das’ first-ball dismissal, when he charged Trent Boult only for his flick shot to be caught at fine leg, was a bit unfortunate. In that, he found the only fielder in the deep on the leg side. Pothas argued that Litton’s shot was part of the team’s bold approach, but looking at the manner of the dismissals – mostly soft – of the other top-order batters, that argument felt a bit thin.”He made a positive statement. The ball goes five yards either side, it’s four. We are not having this conversation. We want our batters to be brave,” Pothas said. “Litton had a plan. Boult is a quality left-arm seamer. We have seen what happens when people stand and play. I have no problem with Litton.”1:17

McClenaghan: Your best batters should get more time to score the runs

When asked whether it would have been wiser for Litton to hold back for a few deliveries, Pothas said, “You are talking about an outcome, I am talking about process. We are talking in different language. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if that ball went for four. If he batted three more balls and got lbw, we would be having the same conversation.”Process is the most important thing. His process and thinking was brave. It was well thought for a guy who swings the ball into the bat. He wanted to meet him. The ball went to a fielder. That can happen.”Whatever Pothas and Shanto might say – or leave unsaid – Bangladesh are in a difficult situation, with two losses to one win so far. England and New Zealand have showed them up, proved that Bangladesh aren’t sure of their strengths and plans. Shanto and Hridoy’s batting demotions are cases in point. And it won’t get any easier, remember: their next two matches are against India and South Africa. That semi-final dream is already looking quite improbable.

A gente sabe que a equipe do Corinthians é muito qualificada, mas o Palmeiras é o Palmeiras. Com muita humildade, a gente vai para ser campeão. É uma partida diferente das outras. Clássico é clássico, você tem que deixar um algo a mais dentro de campo para que o resultado venha – disse o meio-campista.

O camisa 10 é uma das lideranças técnicas da equipe Sub-20 do Verdão na temporada. O jogador, que frequentemente participa de treinos pelo time profissional, é o atleta do elenco atual que mais vezes balançou as redes pela competição em questão, com sete tentos, além de ser o vice-artilheiro geral.

Em sete partidas pela Copinha, conquista inédita das Crias da Academia, o meio-campista marcou dois gols e deu quatro assistências. Pelo profissional do Verdão são duas bolas na rede, com uma delas acontecendo em uma partida de Libertadores nesta temporada. Em janeiro deste ano, Jhon Jhon renovou seu contrato com o Palmeiras até o final de 2026.
