Bangladesh cricket’s development programme has been adversely affected by a five-month delay of the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League

Mohammad Isam11-Jul-2013Bangladesh cricket’s development programme has been adversely affected by the five-month delay in the 2012-13 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPL), after the National Cricket Academy (NCA) player intake for 2013 remained deferred for almost the same period. Dhaka’s club-based one-day tournament has so far been set back four times, the latest date proposed by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) being an August 29 start, and is likely to be skipped this year.According to NCA’s head coach and manager Richard McInnes, the ideal schedule will run the course of the Bangladesh off-season (between March and September) so that the young cricketers can be well prepared ahead of the domestic season and vie for places in the Bangladesh A team. Since the DPL did not take place in March, the NCA programme followed suit, as it needed the players to be free of professional commitments.The NCA management would not announce the name of the players unless it was confirmed they would be free of any other commitments. McInnes also pointed out that the DPL’s delay was one of the main reasons for the hindrance in the full-time academy programme.He said that the coaching staff has remained busy with the other programmes that are organised by the NCA, but the BCB management structure is designed in a way where it can only handle ‘one issue at a time’.”In terms of a full-time academy programme, unfortunately we have not been able to run a full programme for various reasons, including the uncertainty surrounding the DPL,” McInnes said. “I don’t think there has been a lack of activity overall. I certainly feel like all the staff, including myself, have been very busy with under-age camps, coach education programmes and supporting the national teams in the various formats.”The board members are committed to cricket in Bangladesh. As I have mentioned previously, given our management structure, we only seem to be able to deal with one issue at a time, which in a business as big as cricket, does not allow us to be as agile and effective as we need to be.”The NCA’s training programme had become an integral part of player development in Bangladesh, having only just gathered steam over the last two years. The acquirement of a separate academy and cricket ground adjacent to the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur boosted its importance, particularly to cricketers who have crossed the Under-19s, the last stage of the age-group system.The programme was formerly known as the High Performance (HP) unit, and it flourished between 2003 and 2005 when McInnes was in charge. His exit stalled the HP programme, before the BCB converted it to the present-day NCA, but it still took a few years before it was resourceful enough to run a full-time training programme.Australian Ross Turner ran the 2011 programme smoothly with 24 cricketers. When he quit his post, a lull ensued before McInnes was brought back alongside Stuart Karpinnen, the former Australia strength and conditioning coach, as trainer. Senior Bangladesh cricketers like Mashrafe Mortaza has already praised the coaching staff as being ideal for the NCA. McInnes has so far overseen one training camp with 10 players, after which the West Indies High Performance group toured the country to play against NCA in September last year.The only bright spot for the NCA this year is the imminent ACC Emerging Teams Cup, to be held next month in Singapore. According to McInnes, the Bangladesh Under-23 side, which will take part in the tournament, is among those who would have been the NCA’s intake for the year.BCB’s ad-hoc committee member Gazi Ashraf Hossain has said that the board is likely to confirm tours to South Africa and Zimbabwe for the NCA. South Africa and West Indies have had exchange programmes at this level with the BCB in the past, with the last of these tours taking place last year when the West Indies High Performance side toured Bangladesh.The NCA is a vital source of Bangladeshi cricketers, and has helped the selectors find more prepared players rather than blooding teenagers, as was the case for several years after it gained Test status. A lack of continuation in its full-time programme would hold back the development process in Bangladesh cricket.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
The name’s Jadeja, Ravindra Jadeja: another day, another win•BCCI

The last time Royal Challengers Bangalore went to Chennai, Virat Kohli lost a won match when he bowled one over. The captain this time, Kohli lost a won game by handing over the ball to RP Singh, who conceded 16 in the last over, including a huge no-ball, which was caught at third man and would have won them the match had RP not overstepped – it was meant to be the final ball of the game. Laughing all the way to the win was Ravindra Jadeja, who mixed educated edges and meaty blows superbly to take Chennai Super Kings home with 38 off 20.After Ravi Rampaul and R Vinay Kumar removed the openers to reduce Super Kings to 10 for 2 in four overs, it was all uphill for the home side. Suresh Raina and S Badrinath rebuilt but when they fell Super Kings still needed 88 off 46. Vinay brought it to 65 off 30, conceding only six in the 15th over. Dhoni and Jadeja kept on hitting the odd boundary, one of them right out of the stadium, but the asking rate kept going up.With 29 required off the last two overs, Rampaul seemed to have sealed the deal with the wickets of Dhoni – for 33 off 23 – and Bravo – for 8 off 3 – in the 19th over. However, Kohli had a situation on his hands. Vinay had bowled out, and he had to choose between Daniel Christian and RP because the left-arm spinners would have turned or angled the ball into Jadeja’s natural swing. Christian had gone for just 13 in two overs, but has had a forgettable record bowling the final over in IPL games.So RP it was, and RP it was who bowled two length balls at the top of the over. Jadeja edged the first over short third man, but absolutely smoked the next one over long-on. The pressure was squarely on Royal Challengers now. Wearing the orange cap, reclaimed through an anchoring fifty earlier in the innings, Kohli misfielded the fourth ball at long-on, allowing the second. He had done so earlier too.Chris Morris, who had taken three wickets including the big one of Chris Gayle and two during the slog overs to keep Royal Challengers down to 165, accepted that couple and followed it with a single to make it two required off the last ball. Surreal scenes followed. RP bowled a bouncer, Jadeja ramped it straight to third man, Kohli thought he could yet end up on the right side of it until he saw the outstretched arm of the umpire and the celebrating Jadeja, who seems to be unable to do any wrong this season even if he tries.Replays showed this wasn’t just any ordinary no-ball, RP had overstepped by a foot. Kohli backed RP in the public, but there might be words spoken behind closed doors. Royal Challengers will also look at the last over when they batted, when Arun Karthik kept heaving and wasting deliveries as opposed to bringing to strike AB de Villiers, who scored a manic 64 off 32, full of sweeps against fast bowlers.

Nessa terça-feira (15), pela primeira rodada da Copa do Nordeste, o Náutico jogará com o Fortaleza no Estádio dos Aflitos em partida que, além de marcar o primeiro jogo oficial de competição do reformado estádio do Timbu, coloca frente a frente equipes que fizeram aquisições importantes nos últimos dias.

Na última semana, o time Alvirrubro do Recife anunciou a chegada do experiente atacante Jorge Henrique, campeão do mundo com o Corinthians em 2012. Por sua vez, nessa segunda-feira (14) o clube da capital cearense anunciou em suas redes sociais a chegada do meio-campista uruguaio Santiago Romero vindo do Nacional-URU.

Em relação a escalação, o clima que o técnico Márcio Goiano tentou adotar foi de mistério, preferindo não cravar o 11 inicial do embate marcado para as 22h30, horário de Brasília:

– Tivemos um período longo de treinamentos, com três trabalhos (amistosos) para observar os atletas. Sei da importância da partida e estamos conscientes que vamos enfrentar um adversário que teve um ano muito bom, com manutenção de alguns atletas e chegada de outros. Nós temos jogadores jovens e experientes no grupo e precisamos controlar a ansiedade. Todos querem jogar, mas temos de ter equilíbrio para fazer aquilo que estamos acostumados.

Do lado de Rogério Ceni, o clima também não é muito diferente. Depois do jogo-treino contra o Juazeiro onde seus comandados golearam por 7 a 0, ele preferiu fazer uma avaliação geral do elenco ao invés de comentar sobre um possível time para a próxima terça-feira.

-São ótimos jogadores para 2019, com bom nível. Mais rápido que o do ano passado (time). Não tem a referência de área como no ano passado, que tinha o Gustavo. Mas estamos nos ajustando para jogar a principal competição do Fortaleza, dentro das características.

There were a couple of glimpses of the vintage Ponting in his final innings, but he will be content to have made the right call to retire

Brydon Coverdale at the WACA03-Dec-2012

There was one tiny consolation for Ricky Ponting as he walked off a Test field for the last time. He knew he’d made the right decision to retire. In the WACA gym on Thursday, Ponting was asked how tough it was knowing he would not be part of next year’s Ashes tour. Not at all, he replied, because he had made up his mind that he was not good enough to get there. A spectacular, match-winning hundred in Perth might have forced a rethink. Few people would have complained.As it was, Ponting farewelled Test cricket with a brief innings at the WACA, the ground that launched his Test career 17 years ago. It was an emotional 40-minute stay that started with a guard of honour from the South African players and finished with a series of handshakes, the last of which came from the man who had caught him, one of Ponting’s few remaining contemporaries from the early stages of his international career, Jacques Kallis.Then came the moment that will live on forever in the memories of the 7000-strong crowd. As he approached the boundary, Ponting turned around for one last look at Test cricket from the middle. In his right hand he raised his Kookaburra bat, in his left he held up his helmet. The South Africans continued to clap; the standing ovation from the spectators grew louder. Seventeen years of international cricket had come to an end.But not without a couple of glimpses of vintage Ponting. He began his innings with a nimble jump across his stumps to leave a ball from Morne Morkel and in Morkel’s next over got off the mark with a trademark Ricky Ponting pull, forward of square for four. A crisp on-drive provided the rest of Ponting’s runs, a boundary off Dale Steyn that beat Morkel at mid-on. Steyn asked some serious questions of Ponting and the batsman was up to every challenge.In the end, it was left-arm spin, of all things, that ended Ponting’s career. Spin at the WACA. With less than five minutes until lunch, Ponting sensed the chance to go to the break with some momentum. He rocked back to Robin Peterson and tried to crunch the ball through the off side. His edge was snapped up by Kallis at first slip. Ponting stood and stared for a moment, processing what had just happened. His Test career was over.There was some modest celebration from the South Africans, but they appreciated the historical significance. As Ponting walked off, Graeme Smith ran to Ponting to shake his hand, as he had during the earlier guard of honour. Smith’s team-mates flocked from all parts to follow his lead. It was fitting that Kallis, in the twilight of a grand career like Ponting, was last.As Ponting walked off the WACA, his wife Rianna and two daughters, and his parents Graeme and Lorraine, watched on from the stands. He left the field with 13,378 Test runs to his name at an average of 51.85. In his final Test series, he scored 0, 4, 16, 4 and 8. He was content that he had made the right call.Though never a showman, Ponting has entertained with his skill and his final raise of the bat was a poignant curtain call. It was about Ponting acknowledging what the game had given to him for the past 17 years. It was also about the game giving Ponting, unquestionably one of the modern greats, his due. As he walked off, the WACA scoreboard said it all. Two words, in huge letters, were all that were required. “Thanks Ricky”.

R Ashwin has said that there wasn’t any need to talk about individual performances and death-over bowling as long as India was winning

Abhishek Purohit in Pallekele03-Aug-2012

Rohit Sharma has made 5, 0, 0 and 4 in the ODI series, and India have conceded 90 and 97 runs to Sri Lanka’s lower-middle order from overs 41 to 50 in the first and third games. But with the side having already won the series 3-1 going into the final match on Saturday in Pallekele, R Ashwin has said that there wasn’t any need to talk about matters such as individual performance and death-over bowling as long as the side was winning.”It’s a team game and as long as the team is doing well I don’t think anyone should comment,” Ashwin said, when asked whether Rohit would be replaced for the final ODI. “It’s probably a mistake everyone tries to do in terms of picking on someone. I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. Everybody in the team will be backing each other and we are doing really well so there is no necessity to talk about anybody at all.”Rohit averages 14.54 this year and has lasted 28 balls in four innings this series. India persisted with him and left out legspinner Rahul Sharma in the previous game so that the long-benched batsman Manoj Tiwary could be given a chance. Ajinkya Rahane is the only player in the 15-man squad who is yet to get a game in the series. Ashwin hinted, though, that India would not be making any changes to the XI.”I wouldn’t think so [that changes would be made], but it’s totally left to the team management. We are just looking to go up 4-1 in the series. I think as we go on it will help us in the [ICC] rankings as well.” The top four ODI sides are sandwiched together with Australia on 119 points and South Africa, India and England on 118 points.Ashwin said India had been working on their death-over bowling but repeated that while the side was winning, it didn’t matter. “It does happen. The bowlers do tend to go for runs. We need to find different lengths at different venues. Last game we finished it with almost seven-eight overs to spare. As long as the team batting first or second has [outdone] the other side I don’t think it should even come under question. It’s 11 on 11 and not bowlers against batsmen and batsmen against bowlers.”India came into this series after a two-month long break and Ashwin said it that helped the players to regroup. “The break has helped everyone to get back together. The general mood in the team has been upbeat. The freshness in the camp is actually helping. We have been playing a few soccer games as well. This 3-1 will give us an indication that everything is right and whatever we have done away from the field has helped us.”

In the 2012-13 season, Kingsmead will be without its usual Boxing Day Test, breaking a tradition that has stood fairly firm since readmission in 1992

Firdose Moonda05-Jun-2012Kingsmead Stadium’s most defining feature is probably the Castle Corner. The beer garden on the grass bank furthest from the press box is one of the liveliest places to watch a cricket match. By contrast, the stands are one of the best places to catch a late afternoon brawl, if you are so inclined. The local joke is that no match is complete without at least one member of the crowd being hauled out by security. Few really know what for: too many samosas, too much spice, or too much spunk?Ok, you get it. There is nothing overly spectacular about Kingsmead. It’s just another cricket ground with a concrete face, bowels that have too many stairs and in summer, a cauldron of humidity and heat. That does not mean it isn’t a special place.Kingsmead is the ground on which Gary Kirsten spent hours chiselling out an innings of 275 to become the joint highest individual run-scorer for South Africa in 1999. It is the ground on which South Africa chased down a record score of 335 against Australia in 2002. Neither of those records stands anymore and Kingsmead too, has fallen.In the 2012-13 season, Kingsmead will be without its usual Boxing Day Test, breaking a tradition that has stood fairly firm since readmission in 1992. Worse than that, Kingsmead will not host a Test match at all in the coming summer. Instead, the five Tests have been spread out across other venues, with Newlands in charge of two of them, the Wanderers and Centurion being given their usual share of one each and St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth, the recipient of the other. Kingsmead has not been forgotten entirely. It will host two Twenty20s and an ODI, giving it at least three days fewer than its usual allocation of a Test match and an ODI a season.”We are disappointed,” Jessie Chellan, chief executive of Kwa-Zulu Natal Cricket Board told ESPNcricinfo. “The one thing is that we are not getting the Boxing Day Test, which has become a tradition and has grown legs of its own. But we are also disappointed that we are not getting a Test at all.”Financial considerations are among the main reasons for the new schedule and the cancellation of the Boxing Day Test this summer. It is not a permanent change, rather a “trial of something different” over the holiday season, as South African team manager Mohammed Moosajee put it, and the Durban Boxing Day Test could well return to the calendar in future.But why the complete removal of Kingsmead as a Test venue? It’s not as though there aren’t enough matches to go around, with South Africa hosting five Tests. Rather, it seems as though the Durban stadium has been punished for a combination of poor crowds and poor results for the home side, which inevitably affect each other.South Africa have lost the last four Tests they have played at the ground, all of them after being bowled out cheaply in one of their innings. Kingsmead has never hosted the first match of a series and in the last two seasons, against India and Sri Lanka, South Africa have gone to the venue with a convincing first Test win. Against sub-continental teams, South Africa have often felt they are playing away in Durban, because of the large presence of supporters for the touring teams.Complacency, the seaming and swinging pitch, the presence of families with the team, have all been offered as excuses for the defeats in Durban. The one explanation never mentioned were the demons that sometimes exist in the mind of the South African team, who are haunted by mental issues ranging from the chokers tag in ICC events to their Durban jinx. The national side has shown a distinct dislike for Durban, choosing to stay north of the city in the beach town of Umhlanga instead of in the main hub, where the visiting teams are put up.

Irrespective of the ghosts that have come to linger over the Durban Test, the fixture has remained popular among fans and Chellan is saddened that it has been taken away. “For the last three years, we have been sold out on the first day of the Boxing Day Test,” he said. “Over the five days, yes, there has been a decline but whether that has to do with the popularity of Test cricket or the performances of the national team here, can be debated.”

But, CSA acting chief executive Jacques Faul admitted the team’s record there “was taken into consideration” when the schedule was decided. He added that Kingsmead would not be deprived of Tests in the long term. “It’s not to say that we won’t play Tests there again,” Faul said. “The board just thought this was the best decision for this season.”Perhaps that best decision was taken because New Zealand are considered a smaller team, who will not draw much interest, so CSA are happy to stick them in Port Elizabeth. Perhaps it is because they want to give the team time to learn to win at home again. After all, South Africa won their first Test series on home soil since 2008 against any team other than Bangladesh when they beat Sri Lanka earlier this year. Perhaps they just don’t know what to do with Durban, as a venue.Whatever it is, the team is “very happy,” with the decision. Moosajee said the team has welcomed the change. “It is disappointing not to be playing a Test there, because Kingsmead is a wonderful place to play cricket,” he said. “But we are looking forward to the change. It is a different concept to play a Twenty20 over the holiday period. For some of the guys it will also mean they can spend Christmas at home, which hasn’t happened for a long time.”Kingsmead will host one of those Twenty20s – on December 21 – and another in January. Chellan said that although it is too early to forecast whether the local board will profit from the change in schedule, but having two Twenty20s, instead of one “should have a positive effect on our bottom line.” Much will depend on advertising and suite holder interest which will only be determined at a later stage. And even if it does mean money, Chellan said Durban “would have still preferred to host a Test match.”

Moisés venceu o processo movido por danos morais contra o jornalista Chico Lang, que terá de pagar uma indenização de R$ 40 mil ao meio-campista do Palmeiras. A decisão já foi publicada por Marcelo Augusto Oliveira, juiz da 41ª Vara Cível do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, mas ainda cabe recurso.

A ação foi aberta em novembro do ano passado, depois de o jornalista da TV Gazeta divulgar o print falso de uma conversa no WhatsApp, supostamente do jogador dizendo que Borja e Tchê Tchê sentiram a pressão da torcida do Corinthians no clássico disputado entre os rivais em Itaquera – aquela conversa nunca existiu, era uma montagem. O Verdão perdeu por 3 a 2.

Depois da revolta de Moisés, que posicionou-se publicamente na ocasião, Chico Lang logo apagou a postagem e pediu desculpas. Embora na época tivesse dito que aceitaria o pedido, o palmeirense já prometia ir à Justiça para combater a fake news.

O jornalista ainda terá de arcar com o pagamento de custas, despesas processuais e honorários advocatícios, equivalentes a 10% do valor da condenação. Neste momento ele está afastado da TV Gazeta, pois iniciou a campanha para sua candidatura a deputado estadual pelo PRB.

Tillakaratne Dilshan, the Sri Lanka captain, is targetting a strong finish to the ODI series after his team won the fourth match by five wickets in Kimberley

Firdose Moonda in Kimberley21-Jan-2012What if Tillakaratne Dilshan had come good more than just once in the Tests and in the four ODIs so far? What if Sri Lanka’s bowlers had been able to take 4 for 47 in one of the previous matches as well? What if their fielders had shown the commitment they did in Kimberley throughout?Then, according to Dilshan, “the last match could have been a final.” Instead, the corpse of the series will travel to Johannesburg. However, Sri Lanka’s steady improvement in each game promises a contest worthy of more than dead-rubber status, and if they can further redeem their reputation at the Wanderers it will take some pressure off the team, which will return home to face the possibility of a change of regime.”We need to finish strongly,” Dilshan said after his team chased 300 with five wickets in hand and eight balls to spare. “A 3-2 result will be a fantastic effort, but we have to play well. We can’t relax because South Africa are a good team and they are playing well. We know we are capable, and knew we could do much better than the first game.”Dilshan probably has the most at stake. Whispers are becoming louder that his term as captain, which runs until the end of the tour of South Africa, will not be extended and that he may be dropped from the team after a string of poor performances and badly judged dismissals. Through the tour, however, the Sri Lankan camp has used the same excuse when asked about Dilshan’s poor form – that when he fires, the fireworks are worth the wait.In Kimberley, Dilshan showed why people were willing to wait. He recorded his highest score of the ODI series – a run-a-ball 87 – and looked good for many more. After two ducks and an uncharacteristically watchful 33 in the first three games, Dilshan was himself again.”It feels good to score some runs, but it’s a bit late,” Dilshan said, unable to hide his regret. “The pitch was really good and when Upul [Tharanga] got out, I took a few chances because we were chasing 300. I just played my own game. After the Dilscoop went for six, I got more confident.”Dilshan brought out his signature shot off Vernon Philander’s second ball. It sailed over the fine-leg boundary and the ease with which Dilshan conducted the rest of his innings was noticeable.He took the bullishness of his innings to the press conference as well and, for the first time, defended his leadership with some aggression. “I am not listening to the news, anyone can write anything,” he said. “I want to finish this series because they [the selectors] appointed me for the South Africa tour. It’s up to them if I carry on. I am waiting for their call. I’m still enjoying my captaincy.”Although Dilshan has not led Sri Lanka to a single Test or ODI series win during his tenure since the World Cup, he said he had achieved other goals for the country, among them blooding the next generation at enormous self-sacrifice.”The main thing is that I want to see youngsters performing for Sri Lanka. I have done everything for my country. When they wanted me to keep wicket, I did it. When they wanted me to bat at No. 1, I did it. When they want me to bat at No. 6, I do it. These are the last few years of my international career and I want to finish strongly. After another few years I can sit and watch these youngsters do these things for Sri Lanka.”One of the most promising youngsters to have emerged under Dilshan’s captaincy is Dinesh Chandimal, who has been the shining light of Sri Lanka’s ODI series. Dilshan has talked up the 22-year old and, after Chandimal scored 59 in Kimberley, had more praise for the young man. “He is improving in every single game and learning in every game. He will have a long career and I think he will become one of the best cricketers in the world.”Sri Lanka’s Man of the Match in the fourth ODI was Thisara Perera, another youngster who has started to flourish. Dilshan sent him in at No. 6, ahead of Angelo Mathews, and Perera responded with a match-winning 69 off 44 balls, hitting a flurry of sixes to take Sri Lanka past the target.”We thought we would give him an opportunity because he hits the ball hard,” Dilshan said. “Even his mis-hits can clear the boundary easily. He grabbed the opportunity well.”Sri Lanka’s last opportunities will present themselves in Johannesburg. What if Sri Lanka are able to take every one of them?

Vitinho é a principal novidade nos treinos do Palmeiras desta semana. De volta ao elenco após um ano emprestado ao Barcelona B, da Espanha, o meia de 20 anos de idade já sonha com uma nova chance no Verdão – ele tem chance, inclusive, de viajar para os amistosos do Panamá e Costa Rica. Cria da categoria de base, o garoto está no clube desde 2011.

– Estou muito feliz com a volta, meu sonho sempre foi triunfar com esta camisa. Desde os 11 anos tenho este sonho, então quero ajudar. O grupo é qualificado. Quando tiver uma oportunidade espero aproveitar ao máximo – disse o garoto, à TV Palmeiras.

Na segunda, dia de reapresentação do elenco, Vitinho teve uma conversa com o técnico Roger Machado. Nas imagens da TV do clube, o garoto se mostra bem à vontade, brincando com companheiros e membros da comissão técnica (veja abaixo).

Considerado uma das principais revelações recentes do Palmeiras, ele foi emprestado para pegar rodagem em uma das maiores escolas no futebol mundial. Só que oBarcelona B acabou rebaixado à terceira divisão na Espanha, e o palmeirense perdeu a vaga de titular no decorrer da temporada – foram 25 jogos (16 como titular) e um gol. A equipe catalã tinha a preferência para comprá-lo até o fim deste mês, por 15 milhões de euros (na época R$ 55 milhões, hoje R$ 66,2 milhões), mas escolheu não exercê-la. O Verdão é dono de 80% de seus direitos econômicos e tem contrato com ele até 2021.

– (A ida ao Barcelona) Foi uma experiência boa, agregou na minha carreira, bom conhecer outra cultura, outro ambiente. Estou feliz com a oportunidade, tentei aproveitar ao máximo – acrescentou.

Entre 2016 e 2017, Vitinho fez um trabalho no Palmeiras para ficar mais forte e ganhou 8kg de massa muscular. Com Eduardo Baptista chegou a marcar no amistoso com a Chapecoense, na pré-temporada, mas no decorrer do ano foi sendo cada vez menos usado e acabou saindo. Agora, terá a chance de mostrar a Roger que pode ser usado.

– Muito ansioso, muito à vontade, com gana de triunfar com esta camisa. Visto ela desde pequeno, então vai ser importante para mim dar alegria à torcida – encerrou.
