The IPL 2016 match between Rising Pune Supergiants and Mumbai Indians will be held as scheduled on May 1 in Pune, the Bombay High Court ruled on Wednesday. Last week, the court had ruled that all matches after April 30 should be moved out of Maharashtra due to a severe state-wide drought, but it has permitted the match on May 1 to go ahead after an application from the BCCI.The board had sought permission from the court citing logistical difficulties due to a short turnaround time from the match between Supergiants and Gujarat Lions on April 29. In the application, the BCCI said it was “practically impossible” for the board and Supergiants to shift the match to an another venue outside Maharashtra and “make all arrangements for the same in just a single day”. The application also stated stated that the request to permit the match was “bonafide and is being made in the interest of justice” and, if refused, could cause severe prejudice, grave hardship and irreparable damage and injury to the BCCI and Supergiants.The High Court’s ruling to move matches out of Maharashtra in May has affected 13 matches, including the final, which was scheduled to be held in Mumbai on May 29. The ruling also forced Mumbai and Supergiants, the two Maharashtra-based franchises, to look for alternative home venues for the remainder of the season. While Supergiants have listed Visakhapatnam as their alternative venue, Mumbai have picked Jaipur. Bangalore is likely to host the final, while Kolkata is in line to stage the Eliminator and the second Qualifier, both originally scheduled in Pune. The alternative venues need to be ratified by the IPL governing council.

Pakistan seamer Ehsan Adil has been ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against Bangladesh after sustaining a hamstring injury. Umar Gul, who had been omitted by the selectors for the ODIs, will join the team as his replacement. Adil is the fourth Pakistan player to be ruled out of the series after Sohaib Maqsood, Sohail Khan and Yasir Shah had pulled out due to injuries.It is understood that Adil picked up the injury during training ahead of the first ODI on Friday, which Pakistan lost by 79 runs, only their second loss to Bangladesh in ODIs. The bowler was expected to regain his fitness before the second match on Sunday, but has failed to do so.”It was expected that he would get fit ahead of the second ODI but his recovery didn’t go well,” Haroon Rashid, PCB’s chief selector, told ESPNcricinfo. “He has been called back and Umar Gul is being sent as an immediate replacement.”Adil, 22, made his international debut in February 2013 and has played two Tests and six ODIs since then. He played a couple of games in the World Cup, including the quarter-final against Australia, but did not have much success, managing two wickets for 62 runs in 12 overs.Umar Gul missed the World Cup after sustaining a bruised tendon in his left ankle following the first ODI against New Zealand in Dubai in December 2014. This will be his fourth comeback since the knee surgery that forced him out of action throughout 2013.

Harmeet Singh’s career-best returns of 6 for 139 kept Mumbai’s hopes of a quarterfinal spot alive on the third day of their game against Karnataka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai

The Report by Amol Karhadkar08-Feb-2015
ScorecardR Samarth brought up his maiden first-class hundred on the third day, the third batsman to do so in this match•PTI Left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh’s career-best innings returns of 6 for 139 kept Mumbai’s hopes of a quarterfinal spot alive on the third day of their game against Karnataka at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.Harmeet’s haul helped Mumbai stage a remarkable comeback and earn a vital first-innings lead against Karnataka and the left-arm spinner sparked a Karnataka collapse that saw the visitors lose their last six wickets for 78 runs. Karnataka were bowled out for 415, 21 runs short of Mumbai’s first-innings total.Karnataka lost Manish Pandey to Harmeet in the second over of the day but at lunch were on course to overhaul Mumbai’s total of 436. R Samarth had converted his unbeaten 85 into a maiden first-class century – the third batsman to score a maiden first-class hundred in this match – and debutant Shishir Bhavane had raced to a sparkling fifty, taking the team to 293 for 3.Mumbai had, however, applied the brakes a few overs before lunch with restrictive lines that dried up the runs, especially against Bhavane who was scoring at will until he crossed fifty.After the break, as the new ball started to lose its shine, Mumbai continued with the same tactics. While pacers Shardul Thakur and Balwinder Singh Sandhu bowled wide of off-stump, Harmeet and offspinner Akshay Girap pitched outside leg. This forced Samarth, who was playing a sedate knock, to go into a shell.The ploy ensured Karnataka scored only 27 runs off 22 overs in the first hour after lunch, losing Bhavane as the debutant edged Sandhu behind the wicket. About half an hour before tea, Shyreas Gopal, Karnataka’s standout batsman of the season, tried to break the shackles with a full-blooded sweep off Girap but Abhishek Nayar leapt and pulled off a one-handed catch at square leg.Even at 337 for 5, Karnataka were not really in trouble. With Samarth looking good for a double-century and CM Gautam, arguably the most reliable No 7 on the domestic circuit, at the crease, Karnataka continued their march towards Mumbai’s total. In the last over before tea, Harmeet started the collapse.Gautam tried to fend one that was pitched on the leg stump but the ball rose slightly to take the edge of his bat to Suryakumar Yadav at first-slip. Karnataka at that stage were 78 runs adrift of the target and were hoping for captain Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun – both decent batsmen – to see them through along with Samarth.The tide turned in Mumbai’s favour soon after tea as Harmeet bowled the ball of the innings in the seventh over after the break. The ball rose sharply and surprised Samarth, and lobbed to Yadav off the shoulder of the bat. That wicket allowed Mumbai to put pressure and despite Mithun’s 21-ball 22, Karnataka fell short of earning at least three points. Harmeet picked up four wickets in 31 balls either side of the tea break.The only scare Mumbai had was when Udit Patel was dropped off Shardul Thakur, at second slip by Shreyas Iyer. Karnataka were 411 for 8 then. But Harmeet, who had earlier completed his second five-wicket haul by fooling Vinay through flight, trapped Patel in front of the wicket in the next over. Thakur then completed the rout by forcing a nick off S Aravind’s willow and burst into a wild sprint towards the Sunil Gavaskar pavilion.

The win in Sharjah continues a terrific 2014 for New Zealand, which included home-and-away wins over West Indies and a home victory against India

Pillars of New Zealand’s Test successes

“We are pretty kind of understated people. We are good blokes really aren’t we? We Kiwis,” said New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum flashing a brief smile after the win in the Sharjah Test.The worn out baggy black Test cap was back on McCullum’s head, after it had been hung on the bats as a mark of respect to the late Australian batsman Phillip Hughes. The smile was the only time McCullum showed a side of himself that had deserted him in the past few days.The Test match was won, but McCullum was still emotionally worn out following the demise of Hughes. The win had still not sunk in for him as he felt “pretty empty”.But even in these trying times, what did not go unnoticed was that New Zealand had continued to make rapid strides as a Test team. The side may have only moved to seventh place in the ICC Test rankings, but that does not tell the full story.Since the time the side was shot out for 45 in January 2013 by South Africa, New Zealand has gone about slowly but surely rebuilding the line-up for Test cricket. McCullum revealed the kind of effort that was put in behind the scenes to “get the attitude right”.”From the low of being bowled out for 45 against South Africa, we can only go up,” said McCullum. “What that allowed us to do was strip things right back to what was important to us, how we wanted to be known as a team, how the country wanted us to play, the traits that they wanted to see from the New Zealand team. We got our characteristics right. We have got a culture which is desperate to represent New Zealand and perform well during the time that we have (as a player).”The “desperation” to do well for the country has resulted in New Zealand not losing a Test series since they were beaten 0-2 by England away in June 2013. Since drawing 0-0 away in Bangladesh in 2013-14, New Zealand have beaten West Indies both home (2-0) and away (2-1), got the better of India at home (1-0) and have now shared a three-Test series in the UAE 1-1 against Pakistan.In the last 11 Test matches, New Zealand have registered six wins and have suffered just two losses to signify their rise as a Test side.”(We wanted to be) The team that never gives up and if they do get beaten, it’s very hard to beat (them). We have gone about trying to put guys in different positions. Mark’s (Craig) a classic case in point. And he’s been able to come in and prosper in an environment which is allowing him to settle.”The biggest plus has been that New Zealand’s batting has delivered regularly in the past year. The man leading the charge has been McCullum himself, but he prefers to give the credit to the rest of the line-up. The bowling, led by Tim Southee and Trent Boult, has also been a big factor in the team’s performances.”We have obviously got Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor and also Tom Latham the way that he is performing. We are starting to get big hundreds as a team, we are starting to put some runs on the board which is allowing not only our dynamic seam attack but also our spinners to come into the game.”McCullum seems to be revelling in his role as a captain. He has already scored three double-hundreds in this calendar year, thereby joining the likes of Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting and Don Bradman. It has been a year when McCullum has not just endured the responsibility of being captain, but also has taken upon himself the mantle of being the opener. The culture of the team though matters more to McCullum than anything else.”I love being able to see some of the guys emerge and I get real buzz out of that. I guess as a captain, as a leader you have got to be performing as well. I am enjoying being able to make those kind of contributions, tick off milestones along the way. For me it’s about making contributions to the team, especially when the team goes on to win.”New Zealand’s rise also gained praise from Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq, who said he believed McCullum’s team can now win anywhere in the world.”I think especially the way Brendon McCullum is performing, that’s the key for them,” Misbah said. “They have (also) got a really good bowling side, especially Tim Southee and Boult. In these sort of conditions, even the way they were bowling with the new ball and then (using) reverse swing, that’s the key for them. Now they have (also) found two good spinners (Ish Sodhi and Mark Craig) who can really bowl well in these sort of conditions.”The rebuilding process for New Zealand in Test cricket has happened without the presence of their premier spinner, Daniel Vettori. The left-armer had been away from Test cricket and was only drafted at the last minute for the Sharjah Test. McCullum acknowledged that it was “tough” not having Vettori in the side.But from afar Vettori has watched the side grow in stature. “I think it’s a very settled team and a very balanced side,” Vettori said. “The team’s extremely well led by Brendon. It’s really exciting coming into the group and seeing him (McCullum) lead and be able to play with him. He is a special guy and a special leader. The guys really feed off that.”McCullum though remained modest about the achievements of 2014. “We have still got a long way to go. We certainly don’t want to get too carried away with our performances. But it is nice to be able to look back at times and reflect on some performances which have been positive.”

The BCCI is thinking of a scheme where players from the three disputed states of Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Bihar would play under the board’s banner in the 2014-15 domestic season

Nagraj Gollapudi05-Sep-2014In an attempt to break the deadlock with the Rajasthan Cricket Association, the BCCI is thinking of a scheme where players from the three disputed states of Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Bihar would play under the board’s banner in the 2014-15 domestic season. While the BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel confirmed such a plan was on the cards, nothing has been finalised yet.”We are concerned about the boys,” Patel said. “We are trying to work out a scheme where players from the three disputed states, namely Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Bihar can be assembled as one team under the BCCI banner. We are trying to see if that is possible.”Patel reiterated that if a player from these disputed states wanted to switch to another association, the BCCI would give them the required No Objection Certificate. Patel also said a solution had to be found to help cricketers who could not play for any of the other states, and believed forming an umbrella team under the BCCI name could be a starting point.He blamed the RCA for bringing matters to such a state and rejected any idea of the BCCI sitting with them to discuss the issue. “There is no question of sitting or not sitting. We have suspended the RCA,” Patel said.When asked if the Rajasthan government could play a mediatory role, Patel said he was open to finding a solution. “We tried to approach them,” he said. “The sub-committee met up with the chief secretary and the sports secretary of the Rajasthan government. So far we have heard nothing from them.”In August, three members of the BCCI appointed ad-hoc committee, led by the chairman Brijesh Patel, met a Rajasthan government official to appraise him of the impasse. Despite being expelled by the BCCI, RCA president Lalit Modi had found a route back into administration through the Rajasthan Sports Act. The act also prohibits any independent body from using the Rajasthan name to represent any team. The BCCI wanted to check if the government could play the mediatory role in order to avoid future legal hassles. If the BCCI were to float a new team, it would need to amend one of its rules, which allows only full-member teams to participate in inter-state tournamentsMehmood Abdi, the deputy president of the RCA, said the BCCI’s plan would be deemed illegal.”This suggestion is absolutely illegal. The BCCI can form an ad-hoc committee out of the other disputed state associations. We can’t be clubbed with the others because in their case there is more than one claimant in each state; whereas our dispute is with the BCCI,” he said. “Secondly, the Rajasthan Sports Act bars anybody representing the state other than through RCA. Those who are found to be indulging in any such move would be liable to criminal prosecution in Rajasthan.”Abdi said the RCA was on the verge of announcing the teams for various age-group tournaments including the Ranji Trophy, and that the BCCI would have to accept those teams.”The players are in no dilemma,” Abdi said. “All this confusion is motivated by the BCCI. The players are absolutely with us. They know that we will take care of our interests. We will ensure that our teams will play in the coming tournaments.”

O torcedor botafoguense tem orgulho de chamar o time de Mais Tradicional. E esse tradicionalismo é visto nos uniformes. Isso porque o Glorioso é o único clube na Série A que não adotou a numeração fixa para 2019, sendo essa a quinta temporada seguida do alvinegro sem a prática que se tornou comum no futebol moderno.

O Botafogo voltou a jogar com a escalação tradicional, de 1 a 11, no primeiro ano da gestão Carlos Eduardo Pereira, em 2015. Desde então, a numeração fixa só é utilizada em torneios internacionais como Libertadores e Sulamericana, onde os atletas são inscritos com determinados números até o final da competição. Independentemente disso, o clube buscou jogadores renomados para vestirem a mítica camisa 7, casos de Walter Montillo, em 2017, e agora, Diego Souza.

E foi o novo reforço do Botafogo que contribuiu para a melhora nas vendas de produtos. No dia da apresentação de Diego Souza, a loja oficial vendeu o equivalente a R$ 20 mil em camisas. O Diretor de Marketing do clube, João Vieira, reconheceu a importância de associar determinado número a um jogador, mas revelou que a decisão da volta à numeração fixa precisa ainda ser discutida internamente.

– O Botafogo, tradicionalmente, reforçou sua marca com jogadores usando determinado número. Você fala na camisa 7, lembra do Garrincha, Maurício e Túlio. Fala da 13, lembra do Loco Abreu e Zagallo. A 6, do Nilton Santos. Do ponto de vista do marketing, é bom ter essa associação. Por outro lado, não ter, facilita na hora do uso do material. Nós vamos conversar com o departamento de futebol. É uma decisão mais deles, que passa pelo Gustavo Noronha (Vice-Presidente de Futebol), Anderson Barros (Gerente de Futebol), Eduardo Barroca e jogadores. Posteriormente, vem o comercial e o marketing. Precisamos realizar um estudo, uma análise sobre o impacto que isso pode gerar em vendas.

Sobre o acordo com a Kappa, oficializado na última quarta feira, o dirigente lembrou da passagem da marca italiana por General Severiano e prometeu que os torcedores alvinegros gostarão dos novos uniformes. O lançamento está previsto para ocorrer depois da Copa América.

– Certamente faremos uma festa. A expectativa é lançar diversas linhas, com diferentes preços. Uma linha social, uma oficial e outra mais popular. Esses uniformes vão ser muito alinhados com o que a torcida gosta e atrairão o público. A Kappa já tem experiência em design e estilo. No período em que estiveram conosco, entre 2004 e 2009, tivemos boas vendas. Muitos torcedores tem falado nas redes sociais sobre a expectativa.

Além dos uniformes para a equipe masculina principal, a Kappa vai produzir o material para as categorias de base e também para o time de futebol feminino. Nos esportes olímpicos, como vôlei e basquete masculinos, o planejamento do Botafogo é ter uma marca própria nos equipamentos.

تحدث ديدييه ديشامب، المدير الفني لمنتخب فرنسا، عن كيليان مبابي، مهاجم باريس سان جيرمان ومستقبله.

ويشهد مستقبل مبابي جدلاً واسعًا ما بين الرحيل والبقاء في باريس سان جيرمان، وسعيه للانتقال إلى ريال مدريد الإسباني.

وتم استبعاد مبابي من قائمة باريس سان جيرمان في الفترة التحضيرية قبل الموسم، وقبل مباراته الأولى بالدوري الفرنسي، بسبب رفض تمديد عقده حتى يونيو 2025.

وعاد مبابي للقائمة مجددًا وشارك كبديل في تعادل باريس سان جيرمان أمام تولوز، وسجل هدفًا.

وقال ديشامب في حديثه لصحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية، إنه لم يكن لديه أي نية لاستبعاد مبابي من تشكيلة فرنسا، وأفاد: “كنت سأستدعيه، هذا أمر مؤكد، كان من الممكن أن يكون كيليان معنا”.

وعندما سُئل عما إذا كان قد حث مبابي على العودة إلى المحادثات مع مسؤولي باريس سان جيرمان، أجاب: “هذا ليس دوري”.

وأكد: “أتبادل الحديث معه، ومع لاعبين آخرين أيضًا، لكن هذه هي مسيرتهم المهنية، أنا لست مستشارا، في أحسن الأحوال، يمكنني أن أعطي رأيي إذا طلبوا ذلك”.

يصر ديشامب أيضًا على أن مبابي لن يفقد طاقته ويركز على مستقبله، وأكد: “الشخص الذي يمكن أن يجعل كيليان مبابي يفقد أعصابه لم يولد بعد”.

وعن ارتداء مبابي شارة قيادة منتخب فرنسا، أتم ديشامب: “لديه شرعية كاملة داخل المجموعة، إنه طبيعي، إنه قادر على العمل كجسر بين اللاعبين الصغار والكبار، به كل الصفات إلا الأنانية”.

Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has admitted his team may have misread the conditions in Dubai after their three-wicket loss to Pakistan in the first Twenty20

Andrew Fidel Fernando12-Dec-2013

Sri Lanka captain Dinesh Chandimal has admitted his team may have misread conditions in Dubai after their three-wicket loss to Pakistan in the first Twenty20. Chandimal had said his team should have aimed to score 150 batting first at the toss, but after the match he suggested the pitch played better than he had anticipated, and a score closer to 160 should have been their goal. Sri Lanka made 145 for 5.”In the last year this pitch has been really slow, but this time the ball was coming nicely on to the bat. I think we were about 10-15 runs short as a batting side. After that, our bowlers didn’t bowl in the right areas and we gave away some 10-20 runs. Our fielding was also below par. That’s why I think we lost the game.”Chandimal lost the toss but had intended to bat first, believing dew would be less of an impediment to the side bowling second than it proved to be.”After about 10 overs, the dew factor came into play. Then our spinners couldn’t grip the ball. At that time, we couldn’t bowl really well, and also the ball came onto the bat really well after 10 overs. The dew factor also contributed to us losing the game.”We came to the ground on the previous night to check the dew, but last night there was no dew. We had a game plan, which was to bat first because they have some good bowlers, and we wanted to put the runs on the board and put pressure on them. In the end Shahid Afridi played a good cameo role. His innings was the turning point.”Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez had anticipated the dew, and he lauded his bowlers’ for restricting Sri Lanka to a manageable score. Sri Lanka could not score at more than 6.5 runs an over for much of their innings, as Afridi and Saeed Ajmal pinned them down during the middle overs, with regular wickets slowing their progress.”We were expecting the same total,” Hafeez said. “We were thinking if we can restrict them under 150 or 140, we would have a good chance because we’ve got a good batting unit, and also allrounders like Shahid Afridi, Bilawal Bhatti and Sohail Tanvir can give us more strength in our lower order. Once we restricted them to the 140s, we knew we could do it. We were very confident we could chase it. The way Shahid Afridi finished the game was pleasing to see.”The victory was largely scripted by Pakistan’s more experienced players, but 24-year-old opener, Sharjeel Khan, made a promising 34, though bowlers Bilawal Bhatti and Usman Khan had less successful outings. Hafeez suggested inexperienced players would be trialled again in the next match, with a view to playing them in the World Twenty20 in March.”The mega-event is about to come, so that’s why we tried some of the new guys – Bilawal Bhatti, Sohaib Maqsood and Sharjeel Khan. We are planning for the World Twenty20, and what we wanted was for seniors and juniors to play together. Going into the mega-event, the juniors will get a little bit of feel of international cricket, and they are performing very well and showing great character. At the same time the seniors are playing their role. We are happy with the momentum we are getting.”

A late flurry of wickets cost West Indies Women the first ODI as they went down by one run against New Zealand Women at the Sabina Park in Kingston

ESPNcricinfo staff07-Oct-2013
ScorecardDeandra Dottin’s half-century brought West Indies close to a win in the first ODI•West Indies Cricket BoardA late flurry of wickets cost West Indies Women the first ODI as they went down by one run against New Zealand Women at the Sabina Park in Kingston.Poised for a win at 212 for 6, with 14 needed off 30 balls, West Indies lost their last four wickets for 12 runs to be dismissed for 224. The first of those four wickets was that of captain Merissa Aguilleira, who had scored a solid 43 and looked good to guide her side to victory. Her wicket was followed by the dismissals of Anisa Mohammad, out lbw to Nicola Browne, and Tremayne Smartt, stumped off Suzie Bates’ bowling. In the final over, with West Indies on the brink of a win, Browne effected a run-out to dismiss Shaquana Quintyne.West Indies had set up their chase well, guided by Deandra Dottin’s 66-ball 65. Dottin added crucial partnerships – first a 49-run fourth-wicket stand with Stafanie Taylor and a 74-run stand with Aguilleira that put West Indies in a comfortable position. Dottin’s innings included seven fours and a six but crucial wickets from Lea Tahuhu and Morna Nielsen gave New Zealand a chance to storm back into the game.Earlier, New Zealand could only score 225 in spite of having been in a strong position of 210 for 2. Having chosen to bat, Bates and Natalie Dodd shared a 65-run opening stand. Once Dodd fell, Bates added 95 runs for the second wicket with Amy Satterthwaite and put on fifty runs with Sophie Devine, while bringing up her fifth ODI hundred. Bates’ 110 came off 133 balls and included nine fours. New Zealand, however, lost their last six wickets for just 15 runs. Stafanie Taylor bagged four of the last six wickets, dismissing wicketkeeper Rachel Priest, Katie Perkins, Browne and Nielsen. Taylor finished with figures of 4 for 19 off seven overs.
