Even as Australia’s young fast bowlers are limbering up for the World Cup, moves are afoot to ensure there will be something of a similar standard to succeed them when necessary

Even as Australia’s enviable battery of young fast bowlers is limbering up for the World Cup, moves are afoot to ensure there will be something of a similar standard to succeed them when the time comes.Australian cricket has learned much about succession planning in recent times, with the struggles that followed the loss of Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and others meaning the presence of a strong current crop may actually provide more impetus to ensure they can be adequately replaced in future years.The announcement of an Australian Under-19s squad for matches against England at home and away over the course of 2015, ahead of the 2016 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, marks another point of that process. Not only will the young men duel with one other for places in the Cup squad, they will also get a taste of how to play in England, the venue where Australia’s Ashes fortunes will be decided around the same time as their visit.Among the pace bowlers selected is Queenslander Sam Rowley, who has notably spent considerable time bowling in the nets to Australia’s senior players in the past 12 months. He has been a particularly important cog in the wheel of Australian cricket for all the time he has spent bowling to one Michael Clarke on his visits to the National Cricket Centre.”The first time I came across Sam was at a bowling clinic of mine in 2013,” Australia’s assistant coach Craig McDermott said of Rowley. “He came along to that and that’s where I first spotted him. Last year and even the year before, every time we had an Australian session we got him along to bowl to the boys, particularly a lot of the one-on-one stuff with Pup last year and this year in Brisbane.”So it’s been beneficial to him and I think he’s got some wheels to bowl pretty quick, a nice action, a pretty athletic young guy and can handle a bat ok. He’s reasonably tall, pretty athletic build, a good action through the crease, a nice run-up. He got a fair few wickets at the Under-19s carnival, and obviously the selectors have seen something there to pick him.”Rowley grew up in Townsville before moving to Brisbane, and was a product of McDermott’s cricket academy over the past two years. A major recent development in the battle for cricket talent around Australia has been the commitment of more money to aid Queensland Cricket in its talent spotting of a vast geographical area and diffuse population, meaning Rowley’s case is a significant one.Other pacemen in the squad include Guy Walker and the allrounder Henry Thornton. McDermott helped oversee the emergence of the generation now populating the Australian team, through his work with Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson and others at what was then the Centre of Excellence in 2009 and 2010. The likes of Gurinder Sandhu, Joel Paris and Jason Behrendorff are currently the next cabs, and the Under-19 tour will be a way of sorting out who can follow them.”I started in 2009 and that was when they were first in there as full-time or part time athletes,” McDermott said. “There was Jimmy Faulkner as well, Patto, Starcy, Hazlewood, Peter George. It’s been a bit sparser since then. The bowlers out of the last World Cup in the UAE last year, Guy Walker is one, Gurinder Sandhu is the one who’s come through from the Under-19s to play for Australia.”You had Mark Steketee as part of that team, Harry Conway and Joel Paris as well who’s done very well but been out injured for about six months now. They’re probably the guys who’ve come through that second World Cup team. The proof will be in the pudding over the next little while to see if any of those guys can after the Under-19s this year get into a rookie-player contract. The more young quicks we’ve got coming through, the better.”You want it to be as seamless as you can have. We are going to have a fairly seamless one from where we currently stand with the four or five young guys around at the moment, plus the likes of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Jason Behrendroff, Joel Paris and Gurinder Sandhu are there in case we lose the other young good guys we’ve got in the squad now. We’ve got seven or eight good young blokes who can step up to the plate at any stage.”

Derbyshire surrendered their 100 per cent record in the Royal London Cup in frustrating fashion when rain cut short a run-chase against Worcestershire at New Road

ScorecardMark Footitt had set up Derbyshire’s chance of a third straight win before rain arrived•Getty ImagesDerbyshire surrendered their 100% record in the Royal London Cup in frustrating fashion when rain cut short a run-chase against Worcestershire at New Road.When the visitors’ innings was halted, they were ahead on Duckworth-Lewis calculations but still 14 balls short of batting for the minimum period of 10 overs.Having dismissed the home side for 261, the Falcons were in a promising position with openers Billy Godleman and Wes Durston on 37 without loss in 7.4 overs when a series of thundery shows began to roll in over the Malvern Hills.If they had been able to get back on the field in time to reach the 10-over requirement, they would have needed only six more runs to wrap up a third straight victory in the first week of the competition.The only satisfaction for skipper Wayne Madsen was that his bowlers continued their strong form in the group. In three matches, they have bowled out Hampshire and Worcestershire and taken eight wickets against Leicestershire.The seamers dug deep into Worcestershire’s batting before Daryl Mitchell’s team discovered some of the resilience that has made them clear leaders in Division Two in the LV= County Championship and quarter-finalists in the NatWest T20 Blast.The turning point was a fifth-wicket stand of 114 in 18 overs.Teenager Tom Kohler-Cadmore has set personal-best scores in all three competitions in the space of three weeks and Ross Whiteley continued his resurgence with three half-centuries inside a week, two of these in meetings with his previous county.The former Derbyshire left hander kick-started his season with nine sixes in an unbeaten 84 in a Twenty20 success last Friday and followed that with 52 as Worcestershire registered a first win in the 50-over format against Northamptonshire on Tuesday.Derbyshire’s return visit to New Road set new problems with the home side wobbling on 73 for 4 after Tom Taylor had removed openers Richard Oliver, jabbing to point when the ball held up in the pitch, and Mitchell, caught down the leg-side.Misplaced drives to mid-off and mid-on accounted for Tom Fell (23) and Alexei Kervezee (15), but some momentum was restored as Whiteley thumped a first six wide of long-on off David Wright and another over midwicket off Alex Hughes.Kohler-Cadmore was more conservative until surging towards a maiden half-century in the competition with three fours in an over from Mark Footitt, although two came from edgy shots to third man.Whiteley advanced to 53 from 49 deliveries, but Derbyshire got the breakthrough they needed when he was caught at cover off Taylor.Kohler-Cadmore kept things going for a while until he was bowled for 71, trying to work Hughes on the leg-side, and the enthusiastic Ben Cox chipped in with 39 from 24 balls before Footitt cleaned out the last three wickets.

ScorecardTymal Mills is beginning to deliver for Essex•Getty Images

There were no England selectors in Chelmsford but reports of Tymal Mills performance will likely have reached the interested parties. The left-arm quick, whose searing pace at times seems to frazzle his own synapses, claimed 3 for 29 to push Essex closer to a hard-fought victory in their opening Championship match of the season.In the first innings, Derbyshire’s last five wickets fell for 13 runs and Essex will be favourites to complete the job on the final day having set a testing target of 366. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, cricket’s equivalent of a roadblock, was unbeaten on 41 at the close but the home bowlers will prepare to veer around him again. The first session and a half of the match aside, when they were bowled out for 94, Essex have performed with the skill and bite to match the abundant talent in their squad.If Alastair Cook, who extended his stay to 181 from 335 balls in a little over seven hours, is very much England present, then conceivably it was England past and future who were central to Essex’s efforts with the ball. Monty Panesar may still have an international career to resurrect, while Mills has amassed an army of boosters who would like to give him a Mitchell Johnson wig and stick-on moustache and they provided the main threat as Derbyshire fought to stay in the game.Panesar made the first incision, when Stephen Moore toe-ended a pull low to midwicket, but he needed a talking to from the umpires after seeming to direct a few words towards Billy Godleman at the non-striker’s end. Panesar was last season given a suspended ban for “potentially threatening and intimidating” behaviour during a match on loan for Essex against Worcestershire and, if he is to remain in England contention, would prefer the scrutiny to be on his bowling.There was a tangible edge to proceedings, with Godleman the subject of much chatter from his former team-mates, before Mills made the ball do the talking. He had Wayne Madsen caught off the glove down the leg side via a brute of a lifter and then pinned Godleman lbw during a seven-over spell that straddled the tea break. He returned to trap Chesney Hughes lbw as well, following a well-directed short ball with one that was pitched up, though the low bounce and some ponderous footwork took their share of the credit.It is almost a contractual obligation to refer to Mills as raw and undeniably there is a capacity for the erratic. One delivery, way down the leg side to Chanderpaul, managed to bounce two or three times before reaching James Foster, while Wes Durston was greeted by a throat-high beamer first ball. However, his losses of control were the exception rather than the norm and his pace tested everyone at the crease, with Chanderpaul lucky to survive a hurried pull to mid-on that Graham Napier couldn’t quite get his hands underneath.”That’s probably the best I’ve seen him bowl in the Championship for us,” Foster said. “He bowled very quick, very hostile, got the ball to move in the air. He was very aggressive and that’s what Tymal Mills is all about. He’s an exceptional talent and I’m really pleased for him because he has worked his backside off.”Derbyshire had already made use of the heavy roller before their first innings – each team can do so only once, providing the home side has made it available, under the new rules – and the presence of some rough outside the right-handers’ off stump for Panesar to aim at from the River End along with a little variable bounce should provide enough encouragement for Essex. Foster admitted his side were “in the pound seats” but was cautious of calling a game that has seen several shifts in momentum.Fifteen wickets fell on the first day and the first two innings only required 101 overs to be bowled. Cook outlasted that on his own second time around, as the flat pitch Keith Fletcher had spied from his perch in the third umpire’s box finally rolled over to have its tummy tickled. It was a day for ice cream and sun cream, while Cook continued on in a manner that for Essex and England was all peaches and cream.Having scored his first hundred in five months – and only his second since May last year – Cook resumed his innings with the intent of a man returning for the fourth and fifth course at dinner after popping out for a cigar. Stretching back to the previous evening, he managed to go 27 overs without scoring a boundary, during which time he progressed from 127 to 152. Reasoning that there was plenty of room left in the game and accompanied by the coltish Ben Foakes and an ever-busy Foster, Cook continued to hoard time in the middle.Should his new daughter have any trouble sleeping, a video of one of Cook’s longer knocks, however invaluable, might do the trick. A top-edged sweep off Durston before lunch hinted at a desire for greater productivity, however, and he was dismissed by the spin of David Wainwright two balls after the interval, playing across the line and getting a leading edge back to the bowler.

There are some people involved in the upcoming South Africa-Australia tussle who are quite happy to advertise their admiration for each other: Robin Peterson and Nathan Lyon

Firdose Moonda09-Feb-2014The fast bowlers are snarling at each other from afar. The batsmen are talking up their packs and their own skills are against the opposing ones. But there are some people involved in the upcoming South Africa-Australia tussle who are quite happy to advertise their admiration for each other: Robin Peterson and Nathan Lyon.The two spinners can’t seem to get enough of talking each other up. On Thursday, Nathan Lyon called Robin Peterson a “world-class spinner”, and today Peterson returned the compliment. “I have always admired Nathan Lyon. He is a quality performer,” Peterson said. “Maybe the Ashes in England would have been different if they had picked him in the first two Tests.”Lyon was sidelined for fresh-faced Ashton Agar in those two matches, who proved more of a novelty value with the bat than consistent choice with the ball. Australia lost both and went back to Lyon for the next three games, of which they drew two. Peterson knows all too well what that feels like.After winning his place in the Test XI in Perth in November 2012, Peterson played South Africa’s next six matches but after a poor performance in Abu Dhabi last October, he was dropped for Imran Tahir. The legspinner had a similarly disappointing return against India in Johannesburg two matches later and that opened the door for Peterson again. It’s been an uncertain ride.Peterson was given a vote of confidence when he was named the only spinner in the squad to face Australia. Despite that, his name remains the one most dimly lit up in the South African XI. He accepts that as the fate of the South African tweaker, who is surrounded by spitting seamers. “I don’t think you ever get a vote of confidence as a spinner in South Africa,” he said. “When you bowl behind No. 1 and 2 Test ranked bowlers in the world, I don’t think eyes are going to light up when Morne Morkel comes in, it will be the poor spinner who gets it.”But Peterson admitted that, like Lyon, if he is seen as a soft target, it allows him to sneak in under the radar where he can pose a threat of his own. “Sometimes the guys get underestimated and when they are underestimated, that’s when they are at their most dangerous,” he said. Australia have made no secret of their intention to go after Peterson, which does not worry him. They tried it in Perth, India tried in Durban and the result was wickets for Peterson.Should something similar happen in this series, Peterson hopes both he and Lyon can bank on a healthy haul. “I’m sure Nathan Lyon and myself would like to go unnoticed and pick up our two or three wickets each match but we also know at some point we’ll have to make an impact.”The second and third Tests will be played in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, two venues where spinners could play a bigger part than usual because of the nature of the pitches. St George’s Park may be slow and low while Cape Town has been the best venue for spinners in South Africa recently, with Saeed Ajmal claiming 10 wickets in a Test there last summer.Peterson predicts those are the two venues where he could come to the fore but has not ruled out Centurion as a place where he could perform too. “Sometimes the wicket looks green but there is a bit of moisture and there can be variation as well for spinners,” he said.Last Thursday, six days before the first Test, Australia had their first practice at SuperSport Park and noted the pitch was almost indistinguishable from the outfield in colour. Today, three days ahead of kickoff, it was there but it was still quite green.The Centurion surface is often a bright shade before the match and has a healthy covering of grass but that does not mean it will only be a seamer’s paradise. It is also the pitch Paul Harris and Imran Tahir bowled in tandem for the Titans on, in a season where they won a first-class competition, so they may be a bit for everyone.A bit is all Peterson says he needs. “When you play in South Africa, you get accustomed to the wickets not really turning, so you try and create pressure with your field placings,” he said. “I don’t think your game plan ever changes as a spinner. You look to turn the ball hard and land it in the right place and if the batsman tries to hit you for six, that’s his problem but if he runs past it, happy days for me.”Even though Peterson has high hopes for both himself and Lyon in the series, he does not think Australia will risk going into the first Test with two spinners now that Shane Watson has been ruled out. “I think they’ll go for the allrounder,” he said. “You don’t want to leave yourself short in South Africa.”If you only have three seamers and one breaks down, you could end up short. It’s a massive blow for them to lose Shane. He is a guy that can take the game away with bat or ball but we know whoever replaces him will be up for it. If you’re being selected in an Australian Test squad, you should be able to step up.”That’s almost exactly the words Lyon used about Peterson. “If you’re playing Test cricket, you must be doing something right.” Peterson would agree.

Pessoas que viveram a mesma realidade complicada de retomarem suas vidas após o trágico acidente envolvendo o avião da Chapecoense em 2016, o lateral-esquerdo Alan Ruschel e o hoje ex-jogador Jackson Follmann comentaram sobre a morte de Rafael Henzel na última terça-feira (26) em decorrência de um infarto.

Para Ruschel, a sensação que mais o dominava no momento de declaração dada a Rádio Gaúcha era de absoluta incredulidade:

– Momento difícil, né, a gente fica em choque porque a gente não acredita. A ficha não cai, um cara que estava aqui com nós há pouco tempo, passou por tudo que passou, e fazendo o que mais gostava, que era jogar futebol também nos dias livres.

Já Follmann fez sua homenagem usando as redes sociais exaltando o papel não apenas de profissional que acompanhava de perto o Verdão do Oeste pela Rádio Capital, mas também como pessoa:

– A gente tenta encontrar respostas, compreender o que está acontecendo. Mas, DEUS é o único ser que sabe o que acontece e o que está por vir. Que Deus lhe receba e conforte o coração de toda sua família. Deixará saudades do profissional, do pai, esposo e amigo que eras – postou o ex-goleiro na legenda de uma foto onde aparece ao lado de Alan Ruschel, Henzel e o zagueiro Neto, outro dos sobreviventes.

Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka’s chairman of selectors, has justified the selection of a minister’s son in the national squad for the one-off Twenty20 against Bangladesh, after his panel attracted sharp criticism in some parts of the local media. Allrounder Ramith Rambukwella, is the son of media and information minister Keheliya Rambukwella.”Ramith is a left-hand batsman who bowls right arm offspin, who can clear the boundaries and can hit hard,” Jayasuriya said. “He’s someone who can play Twenty20 cricket in the middle order, and you need players like that in this format. We’re bringing him on as a batting allrounder who can bowl offspin.”Rambukwella, 21, has played club cricket since 2011, but has hit only two half-centuries in 28 innings, across all formats. He has scored 135 runs at an average of 16.87 in List A games and 122 at 17.42 in T20s. He has been more successful with the ball, having taken 10 wickets at an average of 23.60 in List A and eight wickets in T20s at an economy-rate of 7.28. He developed his reputation for big hitting during a successful school cricket career, during which he played for Royal College in Colombo.”We don’t just bring in players who perform, we also bring in players with talent,” Jayasuriya said. “There are plenty of players who haven’t performed that well in club matches, but have played well in internationals. I’ve seen a lot of players like that.”I’m not saying you can get picked even if you don’t bat well in domestic cricket, I’m saying if you are talented, or you’ve made runs in the past, we will give those players an opportunity. We will consider any player. They don’t just have to be under 23, even 28 to 30-year olds are considered, and we will try to take those players to the place they need to go.”The selection committee has chosen large squads against Bangladesh, despite the relatively short series, and Jayasuriya said this was done deliberately. The selectors initially picked 22 players for the two-Test series, before trimming the squad to 16 four days before the first Test, and the team for the lone Twenty20 will also be picked from a 16-man squad, which includes five uncapped young players.”Because it’s Bangladesh, we wanted to give the youngsters a chance,” Jayasuriya said. “In the 50-over squad also we picked 16 players. The reason for that is we wanted players who we have identified as talents to experience being in the national team and become familiar with the system. It can take some getting used to otherwise. In an overseas tour, we can’t have a 16-man squad because it’s too expensive, but since it’s a local tour, we thought we would give players that opportunity.”Jayasuriya also suggested that Sachithra Senanayake would be given an extended run in the side, after having been named in the ODI squad for the first time since being dropped in mid-2012. “I think we need to give Sachithra an opportunity in T20s, because he hasn’t had those kinds of opportunities. That’s why we’ve got him in the one-day squad and now we have him in the T20 squad. “
