Van Zyl revives Sussex's victory prospects

Sussex looked down and out but Stiaan van Zyl had other ideas to leave the encounter at Hove on a knife edge

ECB Reporters Network29-Apr-2018
ScorecardFour wickets in 17 balls boosted Sussex’s chances of claiming their first Championship win of the season against Gloucestershire at Hove.Chasing 167 to win, Gloucestershire looked in control when they reached 69 for 1. But Stiaan van Zyl picked up two wickets in successive balls and then had Jack Taylor caught behind. Ollie Robinson claimed the key wicket of opener Benny Howell for 45 as Gloucestershire slumped to 72 for 5.As the light deteriorated, Sussex were forced to bring on left-arm spinner Danny Briggs who removed Graeme van Burren after van Burren had added 23 with Ryan Higgins. But conditions got worse and when the players came off because of bad light Gloucestershire were 108 for 6, 59 runs from victory with Sussex requiring four more wickets.A dire forecast for Monday suggests the game might end in a draw which would be a pity. Both sides had periods of control on an absorbing third day. Although the odd ball misbehaved the pitch played pretty well but overhead conditions were poor throughout with the lights on from the start.Sussex resumed on 51 for 2 and lost wickets at regular intervals. Opener Harry Finch batted through the morning session and for a while he and van Zyl looked to be putting Sussex in a decent position. They then lost van Zyl, who nicked Dan Worrall to slip, and Luke Wright, lbw to Higgins, in successive overs and before lunch Ben Brown (16) and Michael Burgess (17) had also departed.Finch played the anchor role to perfection, coming out his shell to pull Jack Taylor for six, before losing his middle stump to Worrall for 48 after lunch. The Australian ended the innings when he had Ishant Sharma lbw to finish with 4 for 45 while Higgins’ three wickets gave him a match haul of 8 for 86.Gloucestershire lost skipper Chris Dent (13) when Robinson beat him with late seam movement but Howell and Roderick appeared to be putting their side in a strong position with a stand of 45 in 13 overs.Then van Zyl nipped one away and Roderick was caught behind to give Ben Brown his 300th first-class catch and Jack Bracey lost his off stump to the next ball. Howells’ patient innings was ended by another good ball from Robinson before van Zyl picked up Taylor.Gloucestershire regrouped through Higgins and van Burren but Briggs deceived van Burren with his arm ball to make Sussex favourites again shortly before conditions got too bad.

Lucas Braga diz que, mesmo classificado, Santos estava focado em vencer: 'Fechar com chave de ouro'

O Peixe já entrou em campo classificado e com a liderança do grupo G garantida no duelo diante do Defensa y Justicia (ARG), nesta terça-feira (20), na Vila Belmiro, pela sexta rodada da chave. No entanto, o atacante Lucas Braga, autor de um gol e uma assistência na vitória de virada por 2 a 1, disse que, independentemente dos objetivos conquistados no torneio, o pensamento do grupo desde o início do duelo foi de vitória.

– Nosso pensamento desde o começo do jogo foi a vitória. Antes, na preleção, a gente mentalizou a vitória, buscar a todo instante. A gente já sabia que estava em primeiro, mas você fechar com chave de ouro um ciclo dessa primeira fase, que foi muito boa pra nós, é muito importante – disse o atleta na saída de campo.

O jogador, que ao fim da partida foi decisivo, saiu do banco de reservas aos 12 minutos do segundo tempo e rendeu elogios o técnico Cuca pela condução do grupo para o duelo diante dos argentinos. Além de Braga, Marcos Leonardo, autor do gol da vitória, aos 42 minutos do segundo tempo, também não iniciou como titular.

– Nós fomos fiéis a estratégia e no final tudo deu certo. A gente seguiu muito que o Cuca falou, ele é um cara que explica muito bem jogo a jogo, cada situação como vai ocorrer. Fomos fiéis a estratégia e podemos sair com a vitória – afirmou Braga, que também concedeu entrevista coletiva virtual ao fim da partida.

Agora, o Peixe terá pela frente o mata-mata da Libertadores. Segundo Lucas, é importante para que o Alvinegro mantenha a sequência positiva de apenas uma derrota nos últimos 15 jogos, mas também serão necessárias algumas correções visíveis mesmo após o triunfo contra o time portenho.

– É importante a gente manter uma boa sequência como estamos fazendo. A primeira fase é muito difícil, a segunda fase é um outro campeonato e a gente tem que se manter concentrado para buscar grandes coisas – pontuou o jogador.

– A gente, em alguns momentos da partida, perdeu um pouco a atenção, deixou que a equipe deles crescesse – acrescentou.

O Santos volta a campo neste domingo (25). Agora, o Peixe “troca a chave” e retoma as suas atenções ao Campeonato Brasileiro, onde tem confronto por uma vaga no G-4, diante do Fluminense, no estádio do Maracanã, no Rio de Janeiro, às 16h, pela 18ª rodada da competição nacional.

O Alvinegro é o quinto colocado da competição, com a mesma pontuação que o São Paulo, primeiro time na zona de classificação direta a Libertadores de 2021. Com um ponto a menos que os paulistas, o Tricolor Carioca busca ultrapassar a dupla neste fim de semana.

Newcastle: Magpies suffer injury scare to "magnificent" star

Newcastle United face a huge Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain this week, but a late injury concern has emerged regarding one of their key players.

Who is currently injured at Newcastle?

The Magpies were superb last season, finishing fourth in the Premier League, and it means that they qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Eddie Howe's side started their European campaign with a goalless draw away to AC Milan last month, in what was a spirited performance against the Serie A champions, but an even bigger test awaits on Wednesday evening.

Newcastle welcome PSG to St James' Park looking to pick up a stunning win, with Kylian Mbappe of course the main attraction for the visitors, considering he is arguably the world's leading footballer at the moment.

While the Magpies will fancy their chances of causing an upset in front of a raucous home crowd, injury problems are threatening to be problematic, with a host of key players missing. That includes the likes of Sven Botman, Joe Willock, Joelinton and Callum Wilson, and now another fitness scare has emerged.

Newcastle United managerEddieHowe

What's the latest Newcastle team news?

Taking to X, Sky Sports man Keith Downie hinted that Tonali could also be a doubt for the PSG game, having not been seen in training on Tuesday:

"UPDATE: Callum Wilson joined the group a bit later. But no sign of Tonali, Botman or Joelinton. No word yet as to why Tonali was absent."

Tonali may still be getting used to life in a Newcastle shirt, arguably dropping off a little bit after a memorable goalscoring debut at home to Aston Villa back in August, but there is no question that not having him available against PSG would be a big blow.

The Italian has been signed to make a big impact on nights such as these, and it would be a great opportunity to announce himself further to supporters on one of the biggest nights at St James' in years.

Howe certainly values Tonali greatly as a player, describing him as "magnificent", adding that he has "knitted into the midfield very well", and not having a player of such quality on the pitch will immediately diminish Newcastle's hopes of picking up a positive result.

The hope is that the 23-year-old ends up being passed fit and that his absence from training is just a precaution, but even if he is out, the Magpies can't afford to be too daunted by their opponents.

In truth, the Ligue 1 champions aren't exactly in sparkling form at the moment, sitting fifth in the table after seven matches, only winning three of those games, and they could only draw 0-0 away to Clermont last weekend. They also no longer have Lionel Messi and Neymar in their ranks, meaning they have lost some of their fear factor.

A win for Newcastle would suddenly put them in a wonderful position to qualify from a group also containing Milan and Borussia Dortmund, but on the flip side, defeat could give them an uphill task. Either way, it is an evening that should be cherished, with such occasions so often completely lacking over the past couple of decades.

Galliote, sobre Abel Ferreira: 'É um projeto muito importante para o futuro do Palmeiras'

MatériaMais Notícias

Oficialmente aberta, a gestão de Abel Ferreira no Palmeiras é, como de hábito no clube, uma mescla de empolgação e resistência. Reconhecidamente um clube que demite treinadores com frequência, o Verdão quer, por meio de seu presidente, assegurar que o português tenha estabilidade e tempo para trabalhar.

Em entrevista ao “GloboEsporte.com”, o mandatário Maurício Galliote garantiu que a ideia de contratar Abel é para um projeto longo.

– Todos nós, palmeirenses, temos que estar unidos neste momento. O Abel foi contratado para um trabalho de médio a longo prazo. É um projeto muito importante para o futuro do Palmeiras e o apoio da nossa torcida será, como sempre, fundamental. Os recursos têm de ser compatíveis com os objetivos e precisa haver um alinhamento de expectativas. As variáveis contemplam metas, recursos e prazos. A evolução também deverá ser considerada, não apenas os resultados esportivos – disse.

Diferentemente do que se esperava – que era uma contratação sul-americana, o Palmeiras surpreendeu ao encontrar seu comandante no futebol grego, de pouca expressão. O presidente palmeirense detalhou como chegou até Abel.

– Redirecionamos a nossa estratégia para o futebol. O Palmeiras investiu muito na base nos últimos anos e continuará investindo. Iremos ao mercado para atender necessidades específicas ou aproveitar oportunidades. Assim, procuramos um técnico com experiência na formação e aproveitamento de atletas da base. Outro aspecto considerado foi a intensidade de jogo, que requer uma equipe participativa, com equilíbrio entre os setores e velocidade de transição.

Ainda sobre a escolha, Maurício falou sobre o desejo de implementar uma filosofia que vá além de um trabalho por resultados.

– A escola europeia é referência nisso. Temos também como objetivo implementar um padrão de jogo, não apenas um modelo, mas uma cultura futebolística, o que exige metodologia e didática. O currículo do Abel Ferreira demonstra que ele reúne tais características e competências. As entrevistas com o Abel e as informações coletadas no mercado reforçaram as informações curriculares – finalizou.

Abel Ferreira assinou com o Palmeiras até o final de 2022 e seu contrato tem uma cláusula de renovação automática por mais um ano. O treinador trouxe consigo mais quatro profissionais, que são os auxiliares Carlos Martinho e Vitor Castanheira, o preparador físico João Martins e também o analista de desempenho Tiago Costa.

Eles estrearão no comando do Verdão na próxima quinta (05), no Allianz Parque, pela jogo de volta das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil, contra o Red Bull Bragantino. No jogo de ida, o Palmeiras venceu por 3 a 1.

Sussex turn to Bruce after van Zyl injury

Sussex have strengthened their middle order for the Vitality T20 Blast by securing New Zealand batsman Tom Bruce for the entire tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Jun-2018

Sussex have signed New Zealand international batsman Tom Bruce for the duration of their 2018 Vitality T20 Blast campaign.Bruce, a T20 specialist with 14 caps, will be available for all 14 of the team’s matches in the South Group, as well as the knockout stages should the Sharks progress.Sussex supporters will have a sneak preview of Bruce in a Sussex shirt on Friday when he forms part of the men’s side that takes on a touring Aboriginal XI at Hove.Sussex’s move for Bruce has come because of a knee injury for their South African batsman, Stiaan van Zyl, which is expected to rule him out of much of the tournament.Sussex head coach Jason Gillespie said: “The injury to Stiaan forced us to reassess our squad for the Vitality Blast and we’ve decided that we need to bring in a quality overseas batsman for the duration of the tournament.”Tom has experience on the biggest stage with New Zealand and is exactly the type of dynamic middle order strokemaker we’re looking for.”To have him available for the entirety of the competition will offer us continuity, which is very important in tournament cricket.”The extent of Van Zyl’s absence is not yet known but Sussex have suggested that he needs “an extended period of rest and rehabilitation”.Bruce’s most recent international appearance came during the tri-series between New Zealand, Australia and England earlier this year.He burst onto the New Zealand domestic T20 scene in the 2015-16 season when he finished that year’s competition as his side’s second leading run-scorer behind the Sri Lanka batsman Mahela Jayawardene.In his 41 career T20s so far, he has scored 958 runs at an average of 28.17. His career strike rate of 150.39 puts him in 26th place on the all-time list.Sussex begin their Vitality Blast campaign on July 4 against Essex at Chelmsford.

Jailson volta a ser titular do Palmeiras em busca da primeira vitória oficial na temporada

MatériaMais Notícias

Com a convocação de Weverton para representar mais uma vez a Seleção Brasileira, Jailson, vai receber nova oportunidade de defender o Palmeiras nesta quarta-feira (11), quando o clube recebe o Ceará no Allianz Parque às 16h30 (horário de Brasília), no jogo de ida das quartas da Copa do Brasil.

O goleiro vai em busca da sua primeira vitória em um jogo oficial nesta atual temporada justamente contra o ex-clube. Com cinco jogos, contando com os dois da Florida Cup, o suplente da meta alviverde é peça fundamental para o clube avançar e seguir na disputa pelo quarto título da competição nacional e que Jailson venceu em 2015.

Nos três jogos que atuou neste Brasileirão, o arqueiro levou cinco gols e em nenhum deles o Palmeiras saiu com os três pontos. Um dos grandes nomes do enea brasileiro em 2016, o goleiro estreou oficialmente no ano contra o Fluminense, no empate por 1 a 1, no Maracanã, em agosto.

Em outubro, o goleiro voltou a receber duas oportunidades de Vanderlei Luxemburgo, mas saiu derrotado em ambas, diante Botafogo e São Paulo, válidas pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.

O goleiro tem apenas 44% de aproveitamento em defesas nos três jogos em que disputou no Brasileirão até o momento, de acordo com dados da SofaScore.

Jailson fará o sexto jogo no ano e alcançará o número de partidas que fez durante todo o ano de 2019, quando, ao lado de Fernando Prass, foi reserva de Weverton na maioria dos compromissos.

Ele também vai reencontrar o Ceará pela segunda vez com a camisa palmeirense. O goleiro que chegou ao Palmeiras em 2014, vindo do time de Fortaleza, encarou o ex-clube no empate em 2 a 2, em jogo válido pelo Brasileirão de 2018, no Castelão.

Mas dessa vez o encontro será mais especial por outro motivo: Jailson vai rever Fernando Prass. Os dois proporcionaram uma das cenas mais emocionantes dos quase seis anos de história do Allianz Parque, quando Prass voltou de lesão e substituiu o companheiro momentos antes da conquista do título de 2016.

A presença de Weverton para o segundo e decisivo jogo no Castelão, na próxima semana, é incerta. Caso o atual dono da posição não consiga voltar a tempo de assumir o gol, Jailson deve ser o responsável por fechar a defesa alviverde, que também está desfalcada de importantes nomes por causa das Eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo de 2022.

Palmeiras e Ceará se enfrentam no Allianz Parque, nesta quarta-feira (11), às 16h30 (de Brasília), com transmissão do Sportv para todo o Brasil.

Sunderland: Chairman of billionaire-owned club eyeing one of Mowbray’s gems

Sunderland may be flying high in the Championship at the moment, but they are at risk of losing an influential figure in 2024, according to a new update.

Sunderland heading for Championship playoffs

The Black Cats equipped themselves impressively on their return to the Championship last season, arguably faring a lot better than many had expected. Tony Mowbray's side only just missed out on a place in the playoff final, which was a great effort after being in League One the previous year, and big things were again expected this time around.

Sunderland haven't disappointed in 2023/24 to date, sitting fourth in the table after 11 matches and picking up some superb victories, including a memorable 5-0 win at home to Southampton. It hasn't been perfect, not least a shock 4-0 defeat against local rivals Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light earlier this month, but Mowbray's men look in a strong position to finish in the playoffs.

For that to happen, the Black Cats will need to keep all of their most influential players fit and in form for as much of the campaign as possible, and there are key figures everywhere you look, whether it be Dan Neil, Jobe Bellingham or Jack Clarke, to name just a few.

Now, a worrying exit update has emerged regarding one of the first names on Mowbray's team sheet, acting as a possible major setback for Sunderland.

Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray.

Sunderland transfer news: Bellingham linked with Real Madrid

A Bellingham to Real Madrid claim has emerged in a report from Spain, with billionaire owner Florentino Perez keen on bringing Jobe to the club to play with his brother Jude, who has made a stunning start to life at the La Liga giants.

It is stated that Perez "asked Juni Calafat to send his scouts to bring a full report of Mark and Denise Bellingham's second son", who "caught the attention of those present" when watching England's Under-19s in action, not least because of his likeness to his brother in terms of style of play.

There is no doubt that this would be a massive blow for Sunderland, with Bellingham already such an important presence in the team, despite only being 18 years of age. Mowbray himself clearly loves him to won't want to read a single sentence of the rumours, once saying of him:

"He is very mature for his age. He acts like a seasoned pro, and demands standards. Even in small-sided games, he wants to win. You can see he has a very focused, driven thought pattern on where he is going and how he is going to get there.

"And that is to try to be excellent in everything you do. It's a great mentality. He is not in the team because of his name, it is football ability and his competitive edge and athleticism and technique."

The lure of joining his brother at Madrid could obviously be great for Bellingham, however, allowing him to settle in easier, not to mention play for arguably the world's biggest team, and Sunderland will just hope that he stays loyal to them for as long as possible.

Bellingham's stats this season speak for themselves when outlining his importance, with starts coming his way in all 11 Championship matches, not to mention scoring twice and averaging 1.7 clearances per game.

Sri Lanka to ask ICC for leniency in Chandimal case

SLC hoping to convince the ICC to allow the three accused of breaching the Spirit of Cricket to play some part in South Africa Tests

Andrew Fidel Fernando30-Jun-2018Sri Lanka hopes to convince the ICC to allow the three men accused of breaching the Spirit of Cricket to play some part in the forthcoming Test series against South Africa. That hearing is due to be held on July 10 – two days before the first Test.On the surface, it appears as if captain Dinesh Chandimal, coach Chandika Hathurusingha and manager Asanka Gurusinha will be suspended for both Tests against South Africa in July; they have pleaded guilty to a Level 3 offence, the minimum punishment for which four suspension points, which in turn corresponds to two Tests. But although team management has accepted that refusing to take the field on the third morning was a disciplinary breach, they will make the case that the mitigating factors are such that even four suspension points is too serious a penalty.”We are hoping that we can convince the ICC to reduce the punishment,” manager Gurusinha said. “But that will come down to what we can present to the ICC in support of that argument. We are hoping we will have a good case. We have accepted the charge as well. It’s not like we are appealing everything. We are hoping that especially these two guys – Chandimal and Hathurusingha – will be there [for the South Africa Tests].”Among the points the Sri Lanka camp is likely to make is that the entire two-hour delay was not exclusively down to their reluctance to play. Sri Lanka’s team management believe that about an hour into the scheduled morning session, they felt they had come to an agreement with the match officials, whereby the officials would refrain from imposing the five-run penalty and changing the ball, but Chandimal would still have to face a tampering charge at the end of the match.In fact, the Sri Lanka side did take the field at 10.50 am, an hour and 20 minutes past the scheduled start, supposedly on the basis that there would be no further penalties. However, to Sri Lanka’s surprise, the umpires changed the ball at this stage. It was at this point that the Sri Lanka team dug in its heels again. They left the field, further delaying the start.It must be stressed, however, that there is strong disagreement about this sequence of events. There is another suggestion that no deal was actually struck; such a deal, it is felt, would effectively mean there was no charge to be laid, and that umpires were not following playing conditions. In this version of events, the false start is blamed on a misunderstanding between the match officials and the Sri Lanka team.There is also a feeling within the Sri Lanka camp that their protest was prompted by the timing of the charge – Sri Lanka were only told that Chandimal would be charged about 10 minutes before the scheduled start of day three’s play. Sri Lanka’s sports minister Faiszer Mustapha has already characterised the “emotional” decision to refuse to play as wrong but understandable given the camaraderie in the team.Sri Lanka’s planning for the South Africa series now becomes difficult. It is likely that they will plan for the worst. If further suspensions are handed out, Chandimal is allowed to be in the dressing room but cannot enter the field of play at any stage. Hathurusingha and Gurusinha, meanwhile, cannot be in the dressing room on match days – though they can still be at the venue. They are not barred from performing their duties as usual in the approach to games, and in between match days, however.The Level 3 charge carries a maximum penalty of eight suspension points. If the ICC chooses to come down as harshly as possible, the three men also stand to be suspended from the first four South Africa ODIs.
