Watson admits batting form a concern

Shane Watson has endured a lean series as a batsman in India, and hopes to start bowling again before the Ashes

Brydon Coverdale25-Mar-2013Shane Watson has conceded that he risks being dropped unless he can find a way to start scoring big runs again, after yet another disappointing series with the bat. Watson, who was the acting captain in the final Test in Delhi, managed only 99 runs at 16.50 during the Indian tour. This continued a long, unproductive batting stretch, where in the past two years he has made 627 Test runs at 24.11, and has not posted a century.His lack of runs was even more noticeable during this series because he had chosen not to bowl in an effort to stay fit and string together as much cricket as possible after an injury-plagued couple of seasons. Before the series, the captain, Michael Clarke, said that as a specialist batsman, Watson would face competition from a much larger pool of players for a place in the team, as compared to when he plays as an allrounder.”There is no doubt that I need to score runs,” Watson said at the end of the Indian tour. “As a batsman who’s batting in the top four at the moment, I need to score runs. Unfortunately, during this series I’ve scored nowhere near the [amount of] runs that I’ve wanted to, to be able to contribute to the team’s performance.”There’s no doubt cricket’s a performance-based game. If I’m not scoring runs or taking wickets, then you can’t expect to be picked. There are no secrets about it. You can’t hide behind anything, apart from your performance. In this series I’ve not performed anywhere near where I’ve wanted to. I’m looking forward to being able to continue to play and hopefully get some continuity with my game over the next few months, and be in some good touch when the selectors announce the Ashes squad.”Watson’s case for being part of the XI for the first Ashes Test will be strengthened by the fact that he is expected to be bowling again by then, and his medium-pace has a habit of providing breakthroughs at important times for the Australians. But bowling has also generally been responsible for the many injuries that have prevented him from playing even half the amount of Tests he could have.He missed all of the 2011-12 home summer of Tests due to calf and hamstring problems, and played only half of Australia’s home Tests in 2012-13, again due to a calf injury. However, Watson intends to slowly start building up his bowling workload during the second half of the IPL, and hopes to be in a position to bowl unrestricted during the Ashes, which starts in July.”One thing I have realised is how much I do miss bowling, and it has been a plan over the last two or three months to get my body to a position where I can get back into bowling again, and hopefully hold together for the cricket we have coming up,” Watson said. “There is no doubt coming here as a specialist batsman has not worked out anywhere near where I wanted it to.”It didn’t work in that regard, but in the end I am an allrounder, I love being an allrounder. At times it has been hard not to bowl knowing what I can contribute to the game. I know I won’t always be able to score runs or take wickets, but if I’m an allrounder, I’ve got more [of a] chance to contribute to the team’s performance and success. I have to stay on top of my body so that I can play the amount of cricket I want to.”

عبد المقصود: بعض لاعبي الزمالك ادعوا الإصابة تحت قيادتي.. وتصريحات رئيس النادي صدمتني

أعرب أحمد عبد المقصود المدرب السابق لفريق الكرة الأول بنادي الزمالك عن حزنه من طريقة رحيله عن أروقة القلعة البيضاء، مؤكدًا أنه لم يكن يستحق ذلك.

وقال عبد المقصود في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور”: “حزين من طريقة رحيلي عن نادي الزمالك ولا أستحق ذلك، توليت المهمة لمدة 11 يوم وأدرت الفريق في 3 مباريات”.

وأضاف: “كانت أسوأ فترة في تاريخ النادي، مرتضى منصور كان غير متواجدًا، والفريق كان ودع إفريقيا وكان هناك حالة احباط للاعبين، بجانب إدعاء بعض اللاعبين للإصابة من أجل عدم المشاركة اثناء تواجدي ولا أريد أن افصح عن أسمائهم”.

وواصل: “كنت مصدوم من تصريحات رئيس نادي الزمالك ضدي، شعرت أنني لا استحق هذا الكلام الذي يقال، خاصة وأنني تحملت المسؤولية في توقيت صعب أعرف ان الصورة كانت غير واضحة لرئيس نادي الزمالك”.

وتابع: “جمال عبد الحميد عضو مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، كان يقول أنهم وفروا لي كل شيء، هذا لم أراه إلا في السفريات فقط”.

وتطرق عبد المقصود للحديث عن ما تردد بشأن أزمته مع لاعب خط الوسط عمرو السيسي: “كل لاعب يغار على مكانه الأساسي في الملعب، ولكن يجب أن يكون هناك حدود”.

مرتضى منصور يحدد شرطًا واحدًا للتراجع عن قرار الانسحاب من السوبر

وأشار: “في مباراة المريخ بعد علمه أنه سيكون احتياطيًا، أبلغ المدير الإداري في الفريق انه سيجمع متعلقاته ويرحل وسيكون خارج الملعب، ولم يحدث حوار بيني وبينه نهائي”.

وأتم: “المفاجأة ان عمرو السيسي قبل مباراة المصري لم يخض التدريبات رغم أنه كان سليم، ويتدرب في الجيم”.

Home advantage with defending champions Australia

Defending champions Australia will take on England at Townsville’s Tony Ireland Stadium on Saturday to kickstart the latest edition of the Under-19 World Cup, in Queensland. On the same day, two-time former champions Pakistan play Afghanistan at John Blanck Oval on the Sunshine Coast, while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka face each other at Townsville’s Endeavour Park. At the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, Zimbabwe play Papua New Guinea.The biennial competition features 16 teams, including the 10 Full Members of the ICC and six qualifiers (Afghanistan, Ireland, Namibia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Scotland). The teams are divided into four groups of four each, with the top two from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals. The bottom two from each group will compete in the Plate Championship. The grand final will be played at Tony Ireland Stadium on August 26.Australia captain William Bosisto said his side cannot expect an easy journey, despite playing at home. Australia have won the tournament a record three times. “I wouldn’t necessarily say that Australia is a firm favourite in any way,” Bosisto said. “I think we see ourselves as having a very good chance to win the title, and hopefully we can do everything in our power to do that. But I know there will be many strong sides from the subcontinent, and obviously England, so we know there is a lot of tough competition out there.”England last won the title in 1998, under Owais Shah, and the captain Adam Ball said consistency is the key.”It is definitely time for England to add to that previous success,” Ball said. “It will be very tough for us to repeat that but I feel the team has what it takes to do so. I think Australia have to be one of the favourites as they are playing in their own country and have won the tournament several times before. I also think that Pakistan will be a very hard team to beat even in conditions that may not favour them.”Pakistan captain Babar Azam said his team’s chances will depend on how soon they adapt to the conditions.”I think we are one of the tournament favourites as we bat deep, have a couple of good allrounders and also possess a few quality fast bowlers and spinners in the side,” Azam said. “Moreover, our recent performance at the international level is encouraging so I think our team could be termed as favourites alongside some other teams. However, it will all depend on how quickly we adjust to the conditions in Australia. We all know that pitches and outfields in Australia are very hard and there is extra bounce on the pitches.”South Africa have never won the tournament, though they came close in 2008 in Malaysia, finishing as the runners-up. They open their campaign on Sunday, against Bangladesh.”This squad has been on a two-year progression plan for this event,” the captain Chad Bowes said. “We have arrived in Australia to play good, solid cricket and we believe that we have the potential to be the first South Africa side to win the U-19 World Cup.”

Warner to switch-hit Swann

David Warner has promised to turn his savage switch-hit on England in the forthcoming ODI series, and believes Graeme Swann may not be the only spinner he will have the chance to try it against

David Warner has promised to turn his savage switch-hit on England in the forthcoming ODI series, and believes Graeme Swann may not be the only spinner he will have the chance to try it against. Following a sprightly 74 for the Australians in their opening tour match against Leicestershire at Grace Road, Warner predicted the inclusion of Samit Patel beside Swann in England’s preferred XI for the five-match series.Alongside Kevin Pietersen, now retired from ODIs and Twenty20 internationals, Warner has shown a penchant for switch-hitting that has challenged the game’s bowlers – not to mention lawmakers – in adapting to the audacious change of stance as a spinner delivers the ball. He first showed its effectiveness in T20 club competition, before unleashing it on India’s R Ashwin in limited-overs matches in Australia last summer. Should Alastair Cook hand the ball to Swann at a time when Warner is at the crease, Australia’s combative opener suggested he would not take long in abandoning orthodoxy.”If I get the opportunity and they’re willing to put Swanny on early, I’ll definitely be playing the switch-hit,” Warner said. “It has to be a period in the game where it’s necessary for me to play it. If I find I’m bogged down a little or if I find there’s a scoring shot or I want to move a fielder, I’ll play that shot so he has two men behind point.”That’s in the back of my mind, what I want to do to manipulate the field how I want to work it. I think they might play two spinners against us, I think Patel will come in and they might only play three quicks. So it depends where we’re playing as well, but that’s what I think they’re going to do and obviously the switch-hit probably might come out.”England’s management showed their wariness of Australia, meanwhile, by dispatching the video analyst Gemma Broad to Leicester to take footage of the touring bowlers. She paid particular attention to getting a striker’s-eye-view of the young Victorian fast man James Pattinson in his two-over burst with the new ball at the start of the Leicestershire innings.Such eye-level footage is of the kind used in both England and Australia for the use of the Pro-Batter device, which projects a bowler’s action onto a screen before firing a ball from a bowling machine at a point of delivery calibrated to match that of the real thing, thus recreating the feeling of facing an opponent. Well-versed as he is with the level of analysis now taking place on both sides, Warner was not concerned by Broad’s presence.”Just think it’s giving her something to do actually, to be honest,” he said. “That’s what happens, we get all the footage anyway, it doesn’t matter … she’s probably just doing some extra work. There’s a data program around the world that all the countries get and we use anyway, so there’s nothing that we haven’t seen before.”She’d definitely be trying to get some extra footage of us in these conditions. Definitely some of us never playing before in England so they probably want a bit of footage for us, but at the end of the day they’ve got to stand up at their mark and bowl at us.”Having opened up with the wicketkeeper Matthew Wade at Grace Road, Warner was unsure whether Wade or Shane Watson would accompany him at the top of the order in the ODIs against England, or the one-off match against Ireland on Saturday that precedes them. However he felt confident of his adjustment to softer English surfaces after looking comfortable at the crease in Australia’s first match of the tour.”Obviously for my game it’s trying to pull it in a little bit because it does a lot early, especially in Durham it’s going to in the morning,” Warner said. “But I have to keep going about my game how I do, and if it requires adjustment then I’m going to adjust.”

Coletiva de Roberto Melo tem "cutucada" em arquirrival

MatériaMais Notícias

Ainda faltam 19 dias para o clássico entre Internacional e Grêmio a ser disputado no Beira-Rio. Contudo, o momento de ambos na temporada aliado a convocação de seleções para as próximas datas FIFA esquentou os ânimos na coletiva dada pelo vice-presidente de futebol do Colorado, Roberto Melo.

Segundo declarou o cartola do clube gaúcho, apesar de não citar a tentativa de adiamento do Gre-Nal pelas convocações de Kannemann e Everton por parte de Argentina e Brasil, o tom de suas palavras mostra certo temor do rival em relação a boa fase do Inter:

-Na realidade, não desejo nem comentar sobre isso. Não tem o menor fundamento. Quem sabe as pessoas possam sugerir que a Fifa mude suas datas. Isso (times prejudicados por convocações) sempre aconteceu no Campeonato Brasileiro, o Inter já jogou uma final de Copa do Brasil (em 2009) sem dois jogadores que foram esquentar o banco da Seleção Brasileira. Tem muita gente preocupada com o Inter, citando o Inter. Mas nós vamos pensar em nós, vamos seguir trabalhando. Estamos preocupados com a gente. As outras equipes que façam seu trabalho e esperneiem como quiser.

Em outro momento da entrevista, Roberto Melo novamente citou uma excessiva preocupação de outros clubes com a ascensão do Colorado:

-Tem mais gente preocupada com o Inter, fora do Beira-Rio. Isso é bom, por um lado, porque mostra que a gente está no caminho certo. Mostra que estão preocupados com nosso trabalho.

Barbieri revela xingamentos de Chulapa: 'Um grande jogo manchado'

MatériaMais Notícias

Flamengo e Santos empataram em 1 a 1 na Vila Belmiro, nesta quarta-feira, em jogo bem disputado dentro das quatro linhas. No entanto, uma confusão após o apito final marcou o jogo, quando Serginho Chulapa, que comandou o Peixe interinamente, se envolveu em uma confusão com Maurício Barbieri. O técnico do Rubro-Negro afirmou que foi muito xingado pelo treinador adversário.

-Eu estava questionando decisões da arbitragem, ele se dirigiu ao árbitro com palavras de baixo calão. Ele olhou para mim, dei boa noite a ele. Tenho o costume de cumprimentar todos antes do jogo, mas era a casa dele e ele não fez. Não tenho obrigação de fazer. Foi isso, no fim do primeiro tempo, se dirigiu a mim me xingando, me dirigi ao quarto árbitro e disse para ele: “você viu e tem que tomar uma atitude” – afirmou Barbieri, antes de complementar:

– Aconteceu de novo na segunda etapa. Reforço. Foi um atleta fantástico, mas isso não dá o direito dele de agir assim. Não é bom para ninguém nem para o futebol brasileiro. Um grande jogo manchado por esse tipo de situação.

Do outro lado, Serginho Chulapa deu sua versão sobre o acontecimento, e negou ter tentado agredir o treinador rubro-negro. Segundo o comandante do Peixe, a fama construída durante a carreira de jogador acabou falando mais alto.

-A hora que acabou o jogo, estava indo para o meu vestiário. E o treinador dele estava saindo, mas quando ele me viu ele saiu correndo, não sei por quê. Eu não sou aquele louco de antes. Ele disse que eu queria bater. Que bater o quê? Aí, fui falar com o juiz. O passado me condena, uma desgraça, né? Mas não ligo – declarou o santista.

O Flamengo volta ao Rio de Janeiro nesta quinta-feira e o elenco retoma às atividades no Ninho do Urubu na sexta, às 15h. Maurício Barbieri terá dois treinos para preparar a equipe para o jogo contra o Sport, domingo, às 16h.

Para o duelo no Maracanã, mais de 25 mil ingressos foram vendidos até quarta e a expectativa é de mais um grande público do Fla no Campeonato Brasileiro.

Confira outras respostas do técnico Maurício Barbieri após o empate:

Atuação de Diego na Vila Belmiro

O Diego lutou bastante, no final cansou, tentamos uma variação tática no fim. Muito satisfeito com ele hoje e com o que ele tem agregado ao vestiário. É um jogador experiente e nos ajuda muito.

Desempenho do Flamengo

Imaginávamos que o Santos viria com bastante ímpeto, imprimiram intensidade no jogo e no final eles sentiram. No final só deu Flamengo. Equipe muito qualificada, só olhar o ataque. Primeiro tempo ficou aberto, transição e contra-ataque, o que favorece o jovem time do Santos. Ajustamos isso no intervalo e dominamos a etapa final, faltou finalizar.

Possibilidade de perder a liderança do Brasileirão

O risco existe, mas isso não nos afeta. O Campeonato é longo. Tem muito água para rolar. Temos uma sequência difícil com decisões. O empate não era o que queríamos, mas precisa ser valorizado. É um ponto que pode ser importante lá no final do Brasileirão.

USACA admonished over handling of women's team

Pressure is mounting on the USA Cricket Association to get its internal affairs in order following a strongly worded mail from ICC Americas regional development manager Martin Vieira over its recent handling of the USA women’s team. It has also been rapped for its failure to meet an ICC administrative deadline in the build-up to next month’s ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier in Bangladesh.The email, a copy of which is with ESPNcricinfo, was from Vieira to USACA general manager Manaf Mohamed. In it Vieira raised USA’s failure to send a provisional World Cup squad of 18 players to the ICC despite repeated reminders from ICC development officer David Thorley. All provisional squads were due to be submitted to the ICC on September 30 but, according to an email from Thorley, USA is the only country to have failed to comply with the deadline. The last time USACA made any communication to the ICC regarding the women’s team was on September 19.The majority of the squad is locked in a dispute with USACA after refusing to accept the tour stipend they’ve been offered due to the fact that it’s significantly less than what the men’s team receives. Adding to the instability is the replacement of the team coach Linden Fraser with former India allrounder Robin Singh.”If USACA is not concerned let me be frank and say the email below from David Thorley is an absolute disgrace to the Americas region,” Vieira wrote in an email dated October 12. He further admonished USACA over their failure to hold a proper line of communication with officials at ICC headquarters in Dubai about the status of the women’s team. “The region’s image is being tarnished by the poor communication coming from your national association.”Vieira said the ICC Americas regional office had invested a lot of time, money, coaching and other resources to help prepare the USA squad for the tournament in an effort to avoid the embarrassment of repeating the fate of Bermuda, the lone representative from the Americas region at the Women’s World Cup Qualifier in 2008. Bermuda lost all five of their games to finish last, including a shocking performance against South Africa when they were bowled out for 13.However, Vieira fears that all the efforts from members of his Toronto office that went toward helping the USA women’s squad might be wasted due to squabbling and infighting taking place at USACA.”Now just days away from departure we are hearing about problems with teams that can only mean a less than desirable result. Coaches are replaced and the rumours have up to 12 players refusing to go and will be replaced,” Vieira wrote. “I urge you and the USACA executive to take a close look at this issue and give this team and women’s cricket the attention it deserves. In my opinion countries in this region do not have the depth to select ‘B’ squads to represent them at this level.”The USA women’s squad was scheduled to hold a training camp in Florida this weekend. A final 14-player squad must be submitted to the ICC by Saturday, October 15.

Dudu vive turbilhão no Palmeiras, se irrita e busca reação no Choque-Rei

MatériaMais Notícias

Os últimos dias têm sido intensos para Dudu. A insatisfação que o camisa 7 demonstrou ao ser substituído na derrota por 1 a 0 para o Cruzeiro, quarta-feira, foi mais um episódio do turbilhão que ele tem vivido nos últimos dias e que pode ser amenizado com uma boa atuação no clássico contra o São Paulo, às 21h deste sábado, no Allianz Parque.

Substituído por Moisés, o camisa 7 chegou ao banco de reservas do Mineirão chutando uma bolsa e esbravejando contra “essa p… de time”, como foi possível notar nas imagens de TV. Minutos antes, ele havia ouvido uma bronca de Roger Machado por não fechar espaços no lance que acabou originando o gol de Rafael Sobis.

Pessoas que frequentam a Academia de Futebol têm notado há algum tempo que o atacante está mais irritadiço. Após a derrota por 1 a 0 para o Corinthians, em Itaquera, ele conversou com Roger e com o diretor Alexandre Mattos e pediu para não ser mais o capitão fixo da equipe.

Fernando Prass, Felipe Melo, Edu Dracena, Bruno Henrique e Marcos Rocha usaram a braçadeira nos jogos seguintes, dando início a um rodízio, mas Dudu continua sendo o líder a quem a diretoria mais recorre. Prova disso é que ele foi até a sede da Mancha Alviverde ao lado de Mattos para conversar com torcedores e pedir uma trégua nas críticas. Deu certo. Os organizados pararam de pedir a cabeça do treinador e voltaram a cantar os nomes dos atletas, pelo menos até segunda ordem.

Em meio a tudo isso, o atacante ainda foi surpreendido com a notícia de que não poderia enfrentar o América-MG, pelo jogo de volta das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, por estar na lista de 30 pré-convocados por Tite para a Copa do Mundo. Dudu já não tinha esperanças de ser chamado para o Mundial há algum tempo, e se irritou ao saber que o único efeito prático dessa lista com 30 nomes seria tirá-lo dos jogos do Palmeiras. A CBF conseguiu reverter o caso.

Dudu não marca um gol desde a vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Internacional, em 22 de abril. São oito jogos de jejum. Na ocasião, ele não comemorou porque estava chateado com críticas feitas por torcedores em seu Instagram. Alguns foram rebatidos pelo jogador na rede social.

O jogador foi hostilizado por alguns torcedores antes do jogo seguinte, contra o Boca Juniors (ARG), mas o clima ruim acabou amenizado pela histórica vitória por 2 a 0. Na saída de La Bombonera, Mattos interrompeu uma entrevista de Dudu para abraçá-lo e apoiá-lo publicamente.

O atacante jogou 30 das 34 partidas do Palmeiras em 2018, marcou cinco gols e deu quatro assistências. Ao todo, são 192 jogos e 46 gols pelo clube. No início do ano, ele recusou uma proposta astronômica do Changchun Yatai, da China. André Cury, seu novo agente, chegou a declarar que há um acordo verbal para que ele seja vendido em dezembro caso apareça uma boa oferta da Europa.

Muchall and Blackwell punish Worcestershire

Centuries by Gordon Muchall and Ian Blackwell revitalised Durham on a protracted opening day in the County Championship meeting with Worcestershire at New Road

18-May-2011ScorecardCenturies by Gordon Muchall and Ian Blackwell revitalised Durham on a protracted opening day in the County Championship meeting with Worcestershire at New Road.A late start, two interruptions for rain and a sluggish over-rate stretched the proceedings beyond normal limits, and when time was finally called at 7.53pm, Durham had recovered to make 360 for 4.At one stage, with the ball seaming around just enough to make batting difficult, they were struggling at 44 for 3. However, Muchall’s resolute hundred – his first of the summer – gave them a base to work from.Anchoring the innings from the ninth over, he made 152 not out and Blackwell, with his more robust methods, closed with 130 to his name. Together they reshaped the contest in an ongoing partnership of 242, a new fifth-wicket record for the county.The match did not begin until midday because Worcestershire were involved in a day-night game against Middlesex at Lord’s on Tuesday. It was almost 1am when they got back home and yet they were quickest out of the blocks as Damien Wright and Alan Richardson added to their standing as the most successful new-ball pair in the championship.Late movement accounted for Michael Di Venuto and Will Smith in the space of seven balls, and with the openers both taken in the slips, Wright and Richardson reached 50 wickets between them in Division One.This represents a considerable achievement for two bowlers who are in their mid-30s and committed to a heavy workload for a side who have lost all five matches in the championship since winning promotion last September.It was symptomatic of their season that Durham were able to regroup after the confusion which led to a cheap dismissal for Ben Stokes. Muchall set off for a second run after playing the ball past cover, but Stokes turned back and was the one who had to go when the two batsmen arrived together at the striker’s end.The decision ultimately worked out in Durham’s favour as Muchall went past 50 before hitting a sticky patch in which he was dropped at slip off Richard Jones and then survived a run-out chance on 74.At 83 he completed 6,000 first-class career runs and, strangely, while some of his earlier fluency faded before he reached his hundred from 170 balls, his ratio of boundaries increased. Muchall’s half-century contained only five fours but he hit nine in his second 50.Dale Benkenstein (33) was first to support him, putting on 74 until he was caught at first slip off Gareth Andrew, and Blackwell carried on from there with 14 fours from 111 balls in his third century of the season. He gave one chance from a top edge off Andrew when he was on 77.
