How they were out
Amit Mishra hit Munaf Patel for four successive boundaries in the last over•AFP

For 19 overs Deccan Chargers, out of the competition already, seemed to be going through the motions. In the 20th, they came to life through Amit Mishra’s four successive boundaries off his India team-mate Munaf Patel. Mishra and his India spin rival Pragyan Ojha then bowled eight overs for 34 runs on a turning pitch, sucking the life out of Mumbai’s chase. A rollercoaster final over by IPL debutant Anand Rajan made for good drama too.Mumbai, pretty much like Deccan, woke up in the last two overs of their innings, with 42 required. Kieron Pollard and Harbhajan Singh took 16 off the 19th, and then Pollard got stuck into Rajan, who had earlier removed Sachin Tendulkar and TL Suman in the same over. Rajan was chosen to bowl that last over ahead of the overseas pro and expensively acquired Daniel Christian. Pollard hit the first length ball for a huge six. Rajan’s attempt at a yorker resulted in a leg-side wide. Pollard got a thick edge on the next, and dived a mile to complete the second run. Both teams’ scores after 19.2 overs were identical: 119 for 6.Pollard started doing what Mishra had, flicking a leg-side length ball for four. The debutant had to be under pressure, although an expressionless face didn’t give much away. Kumar Sangakkara and Ishant Sharma, fielding at a very straight mid-on, called conferences every ball. Rajan’s previous over had featured the wicket of the best batsman in the world. He was throwing it away now. Then came a smart slower ball, a split-finger one, outside off. This edge from Pollard carried to third man. Game over. Rajan didn’t go delirious celebrating in true IPL fashion. He just smiled.For a little less than the first half of the match, Deccan hadn’t had much to smile about. From the moment Michael Lumb lost his leg stump to Lasith Malinga in the first over, Deccan lived a stifled life. Not one of the main batsmen, except for Shikhar Dhawan, struck at a run a ball.Malinga and Harbhajan Singh were difficult to get away, and Dhawal Kulkarni sneaked in three wicket-taking deliveries. It seemed Mumbai had resumed normal service after their 87 all out in their previous game. Then Munaf began the last over, at 112 for 6. Dhawan hoisted the first ball for six. Munaf came back well with a yorker that brought Mishra on strike.This is where the game started turning. Munaf bowled a bouncer, and the top edge flew over the keeper’s head. Munaf had things to say to Mishra then, which didn’t quite go down well with the Deccan batsmen. Dhawan too joined in the exchange. An attempted yorker now ended up as a full toss, and ended up at the midwicket fence. This time Mishra was looking for Munaf. The next was half edged, half guided past the keeper. Mishra and Munaf collided on the pitch even as the ball reached the third man boundary. Another yorker went wrong, and another full toss was clipped for four.Deccan went into the defence with confidence. JP Duminy, who was beautifully done in by a loopy offbreak earlier in the match, bowled a beauty himself, opening the innings. That offbreak, pitching on leg, hitting off, removed Aiden Blizzard, and sent Mumbai into caution mode. Now with Mishra and Ojha turning the ball square, Deccan’s 135 started to look a good total.Ishant, too, chipped in with the wickets of Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma. With wickets falling around him, Sachin Tendulkar seemed to be stuck between caution and aggression. He too tried to go after the debutant Rajan in the 16th over, with 60 still required. He punched him for four first ball, but then saw Suman perish to a slower one. To the last ball of the over, he moved across to try and pull, and was caught dead in front. Ojha and Mishra came back to give just 11 off the next two overs.Pollard’s hitting in the final two, which brought Mumbai teasingly close to a win, went on to emphasise that he should be batting higher for Mumbai, who are now out of the crucial top two on the points table.

Scott Styris, the New Zealand allrounder, has announced his retirement from all international cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Jun-2011

Scott Styris, the New Zealand allrounder, has announced his retirement from all international cricket. Styris, who will turn 36 next month, had retired from Tests in 2008, but continued playing one-day and Twenty20 internationals for New Zealand, and was part of their run to the semi-final during the 2011 World Cup. With 4483 runs from 188 ODIs, Styris is New Zealand’s sixth-highest run-getter in ODIs. He scored four centuries in the format and also took 137 wickets with his medium pace fare. He played 29 Tests and scored five centuries.His retirement comes at a time when New Zealand have just appointed a new captain in Ross Taylor. Styris said he reflected on his future after the World Cup and decided it was time for him to step aside as the team began a new era.”I have thoroughly enjoyed representing my country,” Styris said. “It has been an honour and a pleasure to play for New Zealand alongside so many quality players over the years and to have been a part of many key moments during that time.”Not being on the international circuit means more time at home and I’m really looking forward to spending more time with my family.”After the World Cup, Styris flew to India to play for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. Despite playing just two matches in their season, he said he intended to continue playing Twenty20 cricket in domestic competitions. “I really enjoy the T20 format of the game and see it as a way to stay involved in cricket for another year or two if I can.” He is currently playing for Essex in the Friends Life t20 in England and will play for Northern Knights in the HRV Cup in New Zealand later in the year.Styris, an integral part of New Zealand’s one-day side during the early 2000s, was in and out of the team between 2008 and 2010, but eventually made it to the squad for the 2011 World Cup. He could not however conjure up the form he had shown in previous World Cups; he averaged 45.75 in the 2003 edition, and scored a hundred and four fifties, in addition to taking nine wickets, in the 2007 edition.Though New Zealand have had a disappointing run in the recent past, Styris has been part of some important successes. He noted winning the ICC Champions Trophy in 2000, in Kenya, and scoring a hundred on Test debut at Port of Spain, in a series that ended up being New Zealand’s first Test series victory in the West Indies, as the highlights of his career. “Winning the Champions Trophy in Kenya was awesome given it was also the first time New Zealand won an ICC event. It was also memorable to score a hundred and take wickets on my Test debut, knowing it contributed to a historic series win.”New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan said he was aware Styris’ departure was imminent for some time, and that the team would miss his consistency. “Scott has been one of our most consistent performers and a real go-to man in big games,” Vaughan said. “He was someone who always seemed to play his best under pressure. His competitive attitude and the leadership he demonstrated while in the New Zealand team will be missed.”However, we support his decision to retire from international cricket. It has been signalled for some time.”

Quando Henrique Dourado foi substituído aos 44 minutos da etapa final, algumas vaias foram ouvidas vindo das arquibancadas do Maracanã. A torcida não aprovou a atuação do camisa 19 diante do Vasco, no sábado, no empate em 1 a 1. Após o clássico, no entanto, o treinador Maurício Barbieri saiu em defesa do centroavante.

Para o técnico, Dourado vem em uma sequência de boas partidas, apesar de não ter repetido o bom desempenho no Maracanã. Além disso, Barbieri afirmou que a responsabilidade não pode estar toda sobre o camisa 19, que precisa contar com os passes e oportunidades criadas pelos companheiros, o que não aconteceu contra o Vasco.

– O Henrique (Dourado) vinha fazendo muitos bons jogos, hoje não foi uma das melhores partidas dele, mas também temos fazer com que a bola chegue melhor para dele dentro da área. A responsabilidade não é apenas dele. Ele teve um chance e guardou, o lance foi polêmico, mas ele guardou. Hoje, infelizmente, não conseguimos aproveitar – avaliou o treinador.

Antes do clássico, Henrique Dourado já havia sido questionado se concordava com as críticas de parte da torcida, que reclamam da pouca participação do centroavante durante a partida. O Ceifador respondeu que está procurando evoluir e se adaptar o mais rápido ao estilo de jogo do Flamengo.

– Meus números não estão ruins, eu me cobro muito e quero estar sempre evoluindo. Buscando melhora a cada dia, quem tem a ganhar é o Flamengo – afirmou o camisa 19.

Contratado em fevereiro, Henrique Dourado marcou oito gols pelo Flamengo em 2018 – dois na Libertadores, dois no Brasileirão, um na Copa do Brasil e três no Estadual. São 21 partidas do centroavante, titular da equipe de Maurício Barbieri.

وجه المدير الفني السابق للنادي الأهلي والحالي للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي أهلي جدة، بيتسو موسيماني، رسالة رائعة إلى مواطنه، بيرسي تاو، بعد ساعات من تقارير عودته إلى صن داونز.

وارتبط اسم تاو في الساعات الماضية بإمكانية العودة إلى صن داونز مرة أخرى، بعد الصعوبات التي تواجهه مع الأهلي بسبب الإصابات المستمرة التي يعاني منها في الموسمين الحالي والماضي.

وكان المدير الفني لمنتخب جنوب إفريقيا الأول، هوجو بروس، قد طالب تاو بالرحيل عن الأهلي من أجل العودة مرة أخرى إلى منتخب بلده ولكن اللاعب مستمر حتى الآن مع المارد الأحمر.

وعلق موسيماني على صورة نشرها تاو عبر حسابه على “تويتر”، وكتب: “لاعب كبير، أتمنى في عام 2023 أن تبتعد عنه الإصابات”.

واختتم: “تاو، لا تقلق كثيرًا، فأنت لا تزال لاعبًا مميزًا وتستطيع اللعب في أفضل المستويات، فقط عليك بالدعاء والصلاة كثيرًا”.

Marcar gols é sempre bom para qualquer jogador, ainda mais quando ele exerce a função de centroavante. Sabedor muito bem do peso dessa responsabilidade, Leandro Damião demonstrou um evidente alívio ao conseguir marcar na vitória diante do Corinthians por 2 a 1 no último domingo (27).

Já faziam exatos 64 dias da última vez que o jogador revelado no Colorado tinha marcado, tendo sido ele na qualificação da Copa do Brasil obtida contra o Remo em Belém por 3 a 1. E, além de botar a bola no fundo das redes, Damião ressaltou que não poderia haver momento melhor para a quebra da sequência negativa.

– Quem está no meio do futebol sabe a loucura que é ficar sem fazer gol, a vontade que um centroavante tem pra fazer e eu estava um tempo sem fazer. Fico muito feliz em ajudar a equipe e é um dia muito especial pelo aniversário da minha filha, fazendo 4 anos. Meu pai também estava ai, uma pessoa que sempre me ajudou e dá sorte pra mim – afirmou Leandro Damião.​

A round-up of the action from the first day of the Emerging Players Tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jul-2011South Africa Emerging Players chased down a target of 183 to win a close game against Australian Institute of Sports by five wickets at the WEP Harris Oval in Brisbane, on day one of the Emerging Players Tournament. AIS, who chose to bat, were propelled almost single-handedly by a blitz from Glenn Maxwell. Batting at No. 5, Maxwell hammered 110 off 52 balls with nine fours and eight sixes, to pull his side out of trouble – their top four had managed just 15 runs among them. None of the other batsmen who followed got past 18 either, as AIS finished with 182 for 7. South Africa were steady in reply, with each of their batsmen contributing cameos. The final flourish to push them past the line was provided by Obus Pienaar, who struck 55 off 23 to seal the game with a ball to spare.India Emerging Players began with an 18-run win against New Zealand A, at the same venue. Choosing to bat, India put on 169 for 4, as captain Shikhar Dhawan, S Anirudha and Saurabh Tiwary contributed 30s, while Manoj Tiwary top-scored with an unbeaten 45 that included four sixes. The New Zealand chase was mainly driven by a big partnership between Dean Brownlie and Doug Bracewell. Umesh Yadav got Bracewell for 47, and though Brownlie hung on to finish with 55 not out, the lack of support from the other batsmen handed India a relatively comfortable win.

Não dá para negar: 2018 é o ano de Yago Pikachu no Vasco. Na noite desta quarta-feira, o lateral-direito de origem, que vem jogando improvisado no meio há alguns meses, foi decisivo de novo e fez o gol que garantiu a vitória por 1 a 0 diante do Paraná, em São Januário, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. Foi o 11º gol do pokémon cruz-maltino na temporada, artilheiro isolado da equipe.

MUNDO DE DESFALQUES
O técnico Zé Ricardo teve bastante problema para escalar o Vasco nesta partida. Foram 13 desfalques ao todo – o zagueiro Breno foi o último. Com isso, mexidas, improvisações e a entrada de garotos da base foram necessárias, fazendo que o Cruz-Maltino perdesse um pouco na técnica e entrosamento.

SEM EMOÇÃO
Quase todo o primeiro tempo foi sem emoção em campo. De um lado, um Vasco bastante desfalcado e com a pior defesa entre os clubes da elite na temporada. De outro, um Paraná com o pior ataque do Brasileiro em 2018. Pontos que fizeram os torcedores presentes no estádio ficarem impacientes e vaiarem alguns lances.

ARTILHEIRO FAZ GOL!
Artilheiro do Vasco na temporada, Yago Pikachu mais uma vez provou ser o diferencial ofensivo da equipe. Aos 43 minutos da etapa inicial, Andrey lança bonito, o pokémon vascaíno passou fácil por Thiago Rodrigues e chegou ao seu 11º gol com a camisa cruz-maltina no ano.

POR MILÍMETROS!
O panorama do segundo tempo não foi muito diferente dos 45 minutos iniciais. Um jogo fraco tecnicamente, dependendo de lampejos dos dois lados. O Paraná conseguiu levar perigo aos 24 com Léo Itaperuna, mas por milímetros o goleiro Fernando Miguel levou a melhor e salvou o que seria o gol de empate.

LÁ E CÁ DUAS VEZES
Se Fernando Miguel salvou por milímetros o Vasco antes, foi a vez de Thiago Rodrigues salvar o Paraná. Aos 32, Andrés Rios foi derrubado por Neris na grande área, pênalti marcado. Giovanni Augusto foi para a cobrança e perdeu, o goleiro paranaense defendeu. E nos minutos finais outro lá e cá: duas expulsões, em lances diferentes, merecidas: Moresche no Vasco e Neris no Paraná.

Andy Flower, the England team director, has told Stuart Broad to concentrate on improving his accuracy and forget playing the role of ‘England’s enforcer’

ESPNcricinfo staff19-Jul-2011

Andy Flower, the England team director, wants Stuart Broad to concentrate on improving his accuracy and forget playing the role of England’s enforcer. Since Andrew Flintoff retired, Broad has gained a reputation for being the aggressor in England’s pace attack, a bowler who can unsettle the batsmen with quick bouncers while the others focus on pitching it up and swinging the ball.Broad, however, is now competing with Tim Bresnan for a spot in the first Test against India at Lord’s on July 21 after struggling with his form in recent matches.Flower said he didn’t like the term ‘enforcer’. “Broad’s got pace and bounce and he’s a great competitor, but he can be more accurate,” he told the . “I’ve heard some crazy stuff about him being – and I hate this word – an enforcer. His job is to create pressure and to take wickets and to do that you generally bowl at off stump. So his job is not to rough up the opposition. It is not to be this ridiculous enforcer.”It was England bowling coach David Saker, however, who had said: “We want him to be the enforcer in our team. There is no better bowler in the world than Stuart at bowling bouncers.”Flower also played down Broad’s exclusion from the fifth ODI against Sri Lanka, saying it was a tactical move. “It wasn’t a particularly tough decision. We had to bring in another spinner and we thought [Jade] Dernbach would be more effective and give us a better chance of winning. I didn’t think he [Broad] bowled as badly as his figures suggested against Sri Lanka. I’ve got a lot of respect for Broad as a young cricketer.”We always select our best XI and Stuart has been a big part of that for the last few years. That’s the criteria we’ll use when picking the side for Lords. He’s in the squad but we’ve yet to make a decision about the best XI.”Broad went wicketless in three of the four ODIs he played against Sri Lanka, and conceded 70 runs in 10 overs in England’s loss at Headingley. He played county cricket last week to regain form ahead of the India series and took six wickets for Nottinghamshire against Somerset, including 5 for 95 in the first innings.India will play four Tests in England and the series is being called the battle for the No. 1 ranking, with England needing to win by a margin of two to surpass India. Flower defended his team being vocal about its desire to be the top-ranked Test side, saying it was not arrogance but a natural goal.”I find it strange that it’s seen as overconfidence or an outlandish goal. Surely that’s the goal you should have? Otherwise aren’t you selling yourself and your country short? We don’t set the goal with the expectation we’re just going to talk about it. We haven’t put a time limit on it, but this series is different because we’re playing the current No. 1 side in the world.”
