ScorecardJames Faulkner was the key to Tasmania clinging on for a draw in their Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia in Hobart, where the final day ended with the Warriors still two wickets short of victory. Set an unlikely 325 to win, Tasmania finished at 8 for 215 with Faulkner on 63 and Sam Rainbird having survived 40 deliveries without scoring.The Tasmania openers made a solid start with a 69-run partnership that ended in the 19th over when Jordan Silk was out lbw to Andrew Tye. Alex Doolan followed for 8 when he was bowled by Simon Mackin and Ed Cowan was then caught off Tye for 40, which gave Western Australia a sniff of running through the order.Jon Wells and Faulkner steadied through the middle before Wells fell for 43 to Mackin, who ended up with 4 for 36. Faulkner and Rainbird were able to hold on for the draw, the 71-over innings not quite enough for the Warriors to dismiss the Tigers. Western Australia had declared at 6 for 270 earlier in the day, with Adam Voges unbeaten on 109, after they added 97 to their overnight score.

Organização do Pacaembu cobrará Palmeiras por cadeiras quebradas

MatériaMais Notícias

A torcida do Palmeiras quebrou algumas cadeiras do Pacaembu depois da eliminação para o Grêmio, terça-feira. O prejuízo não foi grande, mas a organização do estádio irá cobrar o clube para bancar o valor para realizar a manutenção dos assentos.

Houve depredação em diferentes setores, como mostram as imagens. A revolta foi grande no fim do jogo – o Palmeiras saiu na frente, mas levou a virada em sete minutos e foi eliminado nas quartas de final da Libertadores.

O jogo foi levado do Allianz Parque para o Pacaembu, pois a arena recebeu no fim de semana shows da dupla Sandy & Júnior. Horas antes do embate, a página do Palestra Itália no Instagram mostrou um vídeo com o gramado já “limpo”, sem a estrutura do show.

Rupganj chairman handed life ban

Lutfar Rahman Badal, the Legends of Rupganj chairman, has been handed a life ban from all cricket activities by the BCB’s disciplinary committee for his outburst against the BCB president Nazmul Hassan and two other directors

Mohammad Isam09-Dec-2014Lutfar Rahman Badal, the Legends of Rupganj chairman, has been handed a life ban from all cricket activities by the BCB’s disciplinary committee for his outburst against the BCB president Nazmul Hassan and two other directors. In addition, Rupganj joint secretary Tarikul Islam and team manager Sabbir Ahmed received five and three-year bans for allegedly intimidating and abusing match officials.The committee took the decision on Tuesday night after the Cricket Committee of Dhaka Metropolis (CCDM) had put a temporary ban on Lutfar and Tarikul earlier in the evening. The committee did not summon the Rupganj officials to defend their cases.On December 3, after Rupganj’s Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match against Prime Bank Cricket Club, Badal accused board officials of rigging league schedules and umpire appointments in his club’s matches. He also used objectionable language towards BCB directors Khaled Mahmud and Ismail Haider Mallick, and said that Hassan was aware of every “wrongdoing”.The outburst drew sharp criticism from the BCB directors, club officials, the players’ association and the umpires’ association. They held a press conference on December 8 demanding a ban on Badal. There were processions in the Shere Bangla National Stadium premises, as well as several banners hung against Badal.On Tuesday afternoon, hours before the two BCB committees held their meetings, Badal apologised to all the concerned parties for his verbal attack. Legends of Rupganj, formerly known as Gazi Tank Cricketers, are the defending Dhaka Premier League champions.

سوبوسلاي بعد ثنائية ليفربول: ساعدنا محمد صلاح وقمنا بحمايته أمام إيفرتون

تحدث دومينيك سوبوسلاي، لاعب وسط فريق ليفربول، عن زميله النجم المصري محمد صلاح في مباراة اليوم ضد إيفرتون.

واستضاف ملعب “الأنفيلد” مباراة الفريقين في الجولة التاسعة من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، حيث فاز ليفربول بهدفين دون رد (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

وجاء هدفي ليفربول في مباراة اليوم عن طريق محمد صلاح، حيث سجلهما في الدقيقتين 75 و97.

وقال سوبوسلاي في تصريحات نشرها الموقع الرسمي للنادي: “محمد صلاح؟ لا يمكنك أن تحظى بيوم جيد دائمًا، لكن في النهاية إذا سجلت هدفين، فهذه وظيفته، وهذه هي وظيفتنا”.

وأضاف: “لقد فقد بعض الكرات لكننا كنا خلفه، وقمنا بحمايته، واستعدنا الكرات، وأعطيناها له مرة أخرى، بالطبع في بعض الأحيان يكون الأمر صعبًا، لكن إذا سجلت هدفين، فسيكون الجميع سعداء في النهاية”.

وواصل: “المباراة كانت جيدة حقًا، لم أتوقع تلك الأجواء المميزة، إنها لطيفة دائمًا، ولكن اليوم كان شيئًا مميزًا، أخبرني بعض اللاعبين بالأمر بالفعل، ولكن الأمر كان رائعًا للغاية”.

وأردف: “مواجهة 10 لاعبين دائمًا ما تكون أكثر صعوبة، سبق أننا كنا أفضل في بعض الأحيان عندما لعبنا بـ10 لاعبين، أعرف كيف يكون الشعور عندما تلعب بعشرة لاعبين لكننا بقينا هادئين، الفرص ستأتي وعلينا أن نسجل”.

وعن الفوز بعد التوقف الدولي، قال: “هذه هي مهمتنا، عاد رجال المنتخب الوطني يوم الخميس، وتدربنا يوم الجمعة، واليوم كانت لدينا المباراة في وقت مبكر، نحن لسنا معتادين على ذلك لكنه ديربي”.

واختتم: “إنه شعور جميل حقًا أن تفوز بالديربي، وأن تكون في صدارة الدوري (مؤقتًا)، لكن الفرق الأخرى تلعب أيضًا، من السابق لأوانه الحديث عن ذلك ولكننا سنبذل قصارى جهدنا لنكون في الصدارة مرة أخرى”.

القرار ليس بيده.. سبورت: مبابي يحلم بالمشاركة مع فرنسا في أولمبياد 2024

يحلم جناح الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي باريس سان جيرمان، كيليان مبابي، أن يقود منتخب بلاده في دورة الألعاب الأولمبية المقبلة في باريس الصيف المقبل 2024.

وتنطلق أولمبياد باريس في الفترة من 26 يوليو حتى 11 أغسطس 2024، وهناك رغبة من قبل مبابي في ارتداء قميص الديوك في هذا الحدث.

بجانب رغبة مبابي، هناك رغبة من الاتحاد الفرنسي لكرة القدم بقيادة، فيليب ديالو، أن يكون مبابي هو حامل علم وفد بلاده في حفل الافتتاح.

وأعلن مبابي عن رغبته في أكثر من مرة، لكن القرار النهائي ليس بيده وسيكون في يد ناديه سواء كان باريس سان جيرمان إذا مدد عقده أو نادٍ آخر.

وذلك بسبب أن الاتحاد الدولي لكرة القدم “فيفا” لا يعترف بمباريات الأولمبياد ضمن الأجندة الدولية، وبالتالي، الأندية ليست ملزمة بترك لاعبيها.

حتى الآن الأمر غير محسوم وهو ما يظهر في تصريحات المدرب، تييري هنري، الذي يشرف على تدريب منتخب فرنسا الأولمبي، وأكد أنه لم يناقش اللاعب أبدًا حول الانضمام.

وتسمح لوائح اللجنة الأولمبية أن يتم استدعاء 3 لاعبين فوق السن القانوني في لعبة كرة القدم، وفي فرنسا، أبدى الثلاثي كيليان مبابي، أنطوان جريزمان والحارس هوجو لوريس رغم اعتزال مع المنتخب الأول رغبتهم في المشاركة في الأولمبياد المقبل.

Galiotte e Mattos são alvos de pichação nos muros do Allianz

MatériaMais Notícias

A crise do Palmeiras teve mais um episódio de protestos na madrugada desta quarta-feira. Os muros do Allianz Parque apareceram com pichações contra o diretor de futebol Alexandre Mattos e o presidente Maurício Galiotte, e as inscrições foram rapidamente apagadas pelo clube.

Foram vistas as inscrições “Fora Matto$”, com um cifrão no sobrenome do dirigente, acusado por torcedores de lucrar com contratações, “Presidente omisso” e “Time pipoqueiro”. Apesar das reprovações nas redes sociais, o recém-contratado técnico Mano Menezes não foi citado.

As críticas vem se intensificando desde a semana passada, quando o Verdão foi eliminado pelo Grêmio nas quartas de final da Libertadores, perdendo de virada, por 2 a 1, no Pacaembu, após ganhar por 1 a 0 a ida, em Porto Alegre. O principal foco tem sido Alexandre Mattos.

O Palmeiras caiu drasticamente de rendimento depois da retomada das competições após a Copa América, encerrada em julho. Além da queda na Libertadores, saiu da Copa do Brasil nas quartas de final, diante do Inter, nos pênaltis, e deixou de ser líder do Campeonato Brasileiro para ficar na quinta posição, a seis pontos do Flamengo, dono da ponta da tabela, mas com uma partida a menos em relação à equipe carioca.

A principal ação da diretoria diante da falta de resultados ocorreu nessa segunda-feiral, com a demissão do técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari. Mano Menezes já foi anunciado como seu substituto e deve se apresentar na Academia de Futebol nesta quarta-feira.

Flintoff to join England net session

Andrew Flintoff has certainly fulfilled a few job descriptions during his spell in Australia and the latest role for him has come after an invitation to join England’s training session in Brisbane on Sunday

Cricket, commentating and now, perhaps, a spot of coaching. Andrew Flintoff has certainly fulfilled a few job descriptions during his spell in Australia and the latest role has come after an invitation to join England’s training session in Brisbane, on Sunday, as they prepare for their second tri-series match against India.There has been no specific role given to Flintoff – who joked during his Big Bash commentary stint on Saturday that “Think they want me to bowl them into form” – but it would make sense if he was utilised to work with the bowlers on their late-innings skills, particularly the increasingly unfancied yorker which was one of Flintoff’s strengths during his 141-match ODI careerFlintoff claimed 169 wickets for England in the 50-over format and developed into a high-quality death bowler alongside Darren Gough as the finest England have had in the more modern era of one-day cricket.In the aftermath of his retirement from Test cricket – and subsequently other formats – in 2009, Flintoff did not linger around the game and instead moved into various TV projects, but early last year, he began his quest to make a T20 comeback with Lancashire, having reinvigorated himself while working with the county’s youth teams, before securing his current BBL deal with Brisbane Heat.The momentum behind Flintoff’s playing return began while Peter Moores, now the England coach, was in charge at Lancashire and there remains a strong link between the pair. Flintoff played all three formats for England during Moores’ first spell with England from 2007 to late 2008.The bowling attack of the current England side is a major area of concern, despite the top order slumping to 4 for 33 and then 5 for 69 against Australia in Sydney, and Moores could well believe that Flintoff can pass on some valuable lessons.Australia chased down their target inside 40 overs to achieve a bonus point while England, who were missing James Anderson as a cautious approach was taken with his knee, struggled for control for long periods of the innings. Steven Finn conceded a run a ball, and Stuart Broad, in his first international since August following an injury lay-off, was taken for more than seven.An honourable exception was Chris Woakes who claimed 4 for 40 to continue the form he showed in Sri Lanka where he was the pick of England’s pace bowlers. The pace of Australia’s chase in Sydney meant the death overs were not required, but Woakes is also one of the men entrusted with that high-pressure role which used to belong to the likes of Flintoff and Gough.”It’s hard to say you enjoy it all the time because there’s as much opportunity to go out of the park as there is to take wickets,” he admitted. “There is a skill to it. Batters develop shots and can hit all round the park – we even saw David Warner swap hands last night – and bowlers can be behind the pace at times even though we’ve got better at it.”You just have to try to keep the batsman guessing, not become too predictable, and also execute your skills. If you do that it’s harder for the batsmen to execute his. It’s not easy but it’s an opportunity to take wickets.”Woakes has now had a run of 11 ODIs since the end of the last English season, which has seen him elevated to the bowler given the first over of the innings, and he is now starting to feel settled in the international arena.”Sri Lanka was good for me and with Jimmy and Broady not being around it gave guys who have not played as much opportunity to stake a claim,” Woakes said. “I felt like I did that there and I’m trying to continue it here. It is nice to know that I’ve performed at international level now. I’ve been in and out and haven’t known if I was going to play or not. It does help if you know you’ve got a good chance of playing. It’s a confidence booster.”Earlier in his England career, there were concerns as to whether Woakes had the pace to trouble top-level batsmen, but he has worked tirelessly over the last 12 months to enhance that side of the game and now he is often seen hurrying batsman and generating the elusive ‘nip’ so often talked about.”It was a gradual process. I’ve been working on it for a couple of years now, starting with Graeme Welch at Warwickshire and Kevin Shine at Loughborough during the Lions period. There were a few technical issues and I also feel now I’m more energetic in my run up. So there has been hard work and it hasn’t just happened overnight. It’s good to see the rewards.”And the death bowling is developing, too. Should be find himself in conversation with Flintoff about the role, he will be able to remind him that he was the bowler who prevented Flintoff hauling Lancashire across the line in the final of NatWest T20 Blast last year.
