Central Districts in final, Otago keep campaign alive

A round-up of the first and second preliminary finals of the Ford Trophy 2011-12

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Feb-2012Table leaders Central Districts advanced to the final of the Ford Trophy after their match against Auckland at Pukekura Park was rained out. Rain intervened after Central Districts reached 16 without loss in response to 230. Auckland were carried to that score thanks to an aggressive rearguard effort by Colin Munro and Colin de Grandhomme, who scored 60s and added 92 in just under 10 overs. They came together at 109 for 5 in the 31st over and went on the attack. Munro made 64 off 60 balls while de Grandhomme smashed seven sixes in his 35-ball 66. Marty Kain’s 4 for 46 helped Central Districts bowl out Auckland before they could bat out their 50 overs.Auckland, at second place in the points table, will have another shot at qualifying for the final when they face Otago in the third preliminary final on Wednesday.The battle between the third and fourth-placed teams in the tournament went Otago’s way in a gripping low-scorer at Dunedin’s University Oval. The hosts, Otago, were bowled out for 172 in just than 40 overs, but Canterbury, despite their strong start, collapsed to lose by 12 runs. Sam Wells top-scored for Otago with 41 at No.6 to lift them to a match-winning score. Canterbury were coasting at 93 for 1 in just under 25 overs, led by Peter Fulton’s half-century, but the wicket of Shanan Stewart triggered a collapse. Jimmy Neesham, the right-arm seamer, dismissed Fulton soon after and took three more wickets to take the game away from Canterbury. Otago claimed the last seven wickets for only 30 runs and the victory set up their virtual semi-final clash with Auckland.

Justiça derruba liminar e Peres deve ter impedimento votado em setembro

MatériaMais Notícias

Enquanto tenta resolver o caso Sánchez junto na Conmebol, José Carlos Peres teve uma derrota na Justiça na tarde desta sexta-feira. Um juiz da 12ª Vara Cível de Santos derrubou a liminar que tratava o andamento do processo de impeachment contra o presidente no Santos. E mais, o processo aberto por Peres foi extinto. Agora, o mesa do Conselho Deliberativo do clube vai trabalhar para acertar a data de uma nova reunião para a votação do impedimento. Algo que deve acontecer no começo de setembro, dia 5 ou 10.

A Comissão de Inquérito e Sindicância do clube foi quem conseguiu derrubar a liminar do presidente. Havia uma votação prévia marcada para o dia 30 de agosto, mas o assunto não entrará em pauta nesta reunião dos conselheiros. Quando conseguiu a liminar, Peres alegou que não teve o direito a ampla defesa pois não conseguiu ter acesso aos detalhes das acusações. A informação foi inicialmente publicada pelo jornal A Tribuna.

São dois pedidos de impedimento que correm no clube. Um encabeçado pelo conselheiro nato Esmeraldo Tarquínio e outro por Alexandre Santos e Silva. Ambos foram entregues a Marcelo Teixeira, presidente do Conselho, no mês passado. Ambos foram protocolados em junho.

Politicamente, a situação de Peres no clube não é favorável. O dirigente não tem o apoio nem de seu vice, Orlando Rollo, que declarou ao LANCE! estar rompido com o mandatário. Na visão de Peres e sua defesa, os pedidos de impeachment são meramente políticos e possíveis de serem derrubados pela própria defesa.

Entenda a questão
De maneira simplificada, os questionamentos dos conselheiros se baseiam nas duas empresas ligadas a Peres, a Saga Talent Sports & Marking e a Peres Sports & Marketing. Ele é acusado de usá-las para gerenciamento de atletas – algo que nega com veemência. Tal ato é proibido pelo Estatuto Social do clube. Um dos sócios de Peres na Saga teria, inclusive, exigido 10% da venda de Gabigol à Inter de Milão, da Itália, em 2016, pois tal empresa teria trazido o jogador ao Santos “de graça”.

Ricardo Marco Crivelli, o Lica, gerente da base do Peixe em 2018 e afastado do cargo por acusação de abuso sexual, é também sócio de Peres na primeira empresa, que segundo o dirigente já foi encerrada e, em 2015, criou a Hi Talent Ltda. Um relatório da Comissão Fiscal do clube sobre a movimentação financeira no primeiro trimestre mostrou que o Alvinegro comprou 100% dos direitos econômicos do zagueiro equatoriano Jackson Porozo, de 17 anos, para o time sub-20, em fevereiro e que passará 20% de uma futura venda ao Manta (EQU) e 30% do lucro à Hi Talent.

A diretoria pagou 350 mil euros (erindo seu direito de ampla defesa. Os advogados do mandatário baseiam a acusação na Constituição Federal, carta magna do país, que está acima do Estatuto Social do Peixe. (cerca de R$ 1,5 milhão) pelo jovem, com vínculo até o final de 2021. O contrato não menciona o motivo das cláusulas acima. Tais questionamentos serão feitos nos pedidos de impeachment.

Southee dropped for Hamilton Test

Tim Southee has been dropped from New Zealand’s squad for the second Test against South Africa in Hamilton

Tim Southee has been dropped from New Zealand’s squad for the second Test against South Africa in Hamilton, starting on Thursday. After a tough first Test in Dunedin, in which he conceded 140 runs and failed to take a wicket, Southee will return to the Plunket Shield to work on technique and form.New Zealand have beefed up their bowling with the addition of Mark Gillespie and the re-inclusion of Brent Arnel, who was part of the squad for the first Test but was not included in the final 12.Gillespie has come off a run of fine form in which he has taken 20 wickets in his last three first-class matches. He is third on the list of wicket-takers, behind the yet-to-be-eligible Neil Wagner and Arnel, with 30 wickets at an average of 27.53.”Tim Southee hasn’t been included He’s a talented young fast bowler and we are confident he will return to the Plunket Shield and continue to put pressure on those in the Test team,” Kim Littlejohn, New Zealand national selection manager said. “Mark Gillespie returns to international cricket after showing good form recently and provides and a strong and reliable bowling option.”New Zealand Test Squad

Ross Taylor (capt), Brent Arnel, Trent Boult, Doug Bracewell, Andrew Ellis, Mark Gillespie, Martin Guptill, Chris Martin, Brendon McCullum, Tarun Nethula, Rob Nicol, Kruger Van Wyk (wk), Daniel Vettori, Kane Williamson

Gillespie has played three Tests for New Zealand, one of them against South Africa in November 2007 at Centurion. Gillespie will have fond memories of that match as it was his Test debut and he took a five-for in South Africa’s only innings, dismissing Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers and Mark Boucher.There is the possibility that Arnel and Gillespie won’t feature in the final XI on a pitch that is no longer expected to be seamer-friendly. Although there was initially talk of a green wicket being prepared at Seddon Park, this has been doused by the suggestion that the strip may actually be a little dry.In anticipation of that, New Zealand have also added variety to their attack, with the inclusion of legspinner Tarun Nethula, who has yet to play Test cricket. “We are pleased to be able to offer Tarun an opportunity. He is bowling well and offers a point of difference to the attack,” Littlejohn said.Neither BJ Watling, who is recovering from a hip joint injury, nor Dean Brownlie, who has a fractured finger, were considered for the squad. South African-born wicket-keeper Kruger van Wyk keeps his place along with Rob Nicol, who had a tough debut opening the batting.

Misbah puts new spin on pressure

Misbah-ul-Haq says the pressure of a Pakistan-India clash also afforded players the opportunity to put in memorable performances

Siddarth Ravindran in Dhaka17-Mar-2012

The one question that Misbah-ul-Haq reacted to was about his batting in Pakistan’s World Cup semi-final loss to India•AFP

One of the defining features of Misbah-ul-Haq’s captaincy has been his attempts to bring in stability and keep out controversy from Pakistan cricket. His press conferences are an extension of that. Unlike other players who usually answer looking at the journalist who asked the question, Misbah prefers to stare straight ahead as he speaks. He stays away from big statements, and rarely betrays any expression.One of the rare instances that he did was when a journalist brought up his batting against India in last year’s World Cup semi-final, a source of much heartburn in Pakistan. “You are reminding me of that, and trying to put more pressure on me?” he asked with a big smile.Pressure was an oft-repeated word during his press conference. During the World Cup, MS Dhoni had tried to defuse that buzzword, saying “we have changed the meaning of pressure to responsibility.”Misbah used a different tactic. “There is always pressure when India and Pakistan play each other, but it is also a good chance for the players to prove themselves,” he said. “The way people remember performances in these matches, if you do well it is a great confidence booster, and gives great satisfaction.”Pakistan have also tried to keep media interactions to a bare minimum in order to ensure there are no unnecessary problems, even skipping the traditional pre-match presser before the game against Sri Lanka (they are not mandatory in the Asia Cup).The previous time India and Pakistan faced each other, in Mohali, the hype and build-up was so huge that some wondered whether the World Cup final would be a sort of anti-climax. This time around, Bangladesh’s rousing win over India, Sachin Tendulkar’s 100th hundred and the tight schedule have all combined to prevent Sunday’s match from becoming an all-consuming focus.Pakistan’s players have been asked about the India game in pretty much every press conference, and their views were summed up by Mohammad Hafeez. “This is just a game and we will take it as a game and we will try our level best to win the game, that’s it.”Hafeez suggested a couple of times that the pressure will be less on Pakistan as they have already qualified, though technically they aren’t through yet. A bonus point win for India, and a similar victory for Bangladesh over Sri Lanka will take things down to net run-rate.What will help Pakistan though is the backing of the crowd. A full house is expected, and the locals will get right behind Pakistan as a win for them will boost the home side’s chances of progressing. “We always enjoy playing in Bangladesh and the Bangladesh crowd has always supported us whenever we play against any other country.”The match has been built up as a clash between India’s batting strength and Pakistan’s bowling might. Hafeez was not too bothered by worries over Pakistan’s batting. “It’s a blessing for us that all of the players are in good form, like in the first game the openers did the job for Pakistan. Then, in the last game the way Umar Akmal and Misbah finished the game for us, that was a real positive sign that everybody’s in good nick.”The only mildly controversial statement in the presser was when Hafeez repeated Mushfiqur Rahim’s assertion about India’s bowling. “I personally feel that their bowling attack is not in good form at the moment, so we are going to try and exploit that weakness and demoralise their attack.”After slipping up against Bangladesh, India’s bowlers will do well to heed Misbah’s words when asked about his Mohali batting. “I think as a player it is better to not think too much about your past performances, whether they led to a win or a loss, and it is better to focus on the matches to come; thinking about what happened previously will only increase the pressure.”

Com desfalque, Cuca esboça titulares do Santos para enfrentar o Grêmio

MatériaMais Notícias

Sem ter Carlos Sánchez à disposição, Cuca fez os primeiros esboços da equipe do Santos para enfrentar o Grêmio, às 19h, nesta quinta-feira, no Pacaembu, pela 23ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O uruguaio está com sua seleção para a disputa de um amistoso contra o México, no dia 7 de setembro, nos Estados Unidos, e não poderá atuar.

Dos testes feitos por Cuca, o primeiro time colocado para treinar no CT Rei Pelé na tarde desta terça-feira teve:Vanderlei; Victor Ferraz, Lucas Veríssimo, Gustavo Henrique e Dodô; Derlis González, Alison, Diego Pituca e Rodrygo; Gabigol e Eduardo Sasha. Assim, a tendência é que a formação com quatro atacantes volte a ser usada pelo treinador.

Veríssimo está recuperado de uma lesão grau 1 na coxa esquerda, mas, mesmo assim, não está confirmado entre os titulares. O garoto Robson Bambu pode voltar a ser usado por Cuca no duelo. Bruno Henrique, que cumpriu suspensão na última rodada, seguiu entre os reservas.

Aderllan destaca evolução defensiva do Vitória no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Com três vitórias nos últimos quatro jogos na Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Vitória segue em franca evolução na competição. E um dos motivos desta boa fase é a segurança que o sistema defensivo da equipe vem passando. Nas últimas quatro rodadas do Brasileirão (Atlético-MG, América-MG, Fluminense e Vasco), foi apenas um gol sofrido.

Para o zagueiro do Leão, Aderllan, Carpegiani conseguiu ajustar a zaga baiana:

– Carpegiani, desde sua chegada, procurou corrigir nossos erros e nos fez evoluir. O nosso sistema defensivo, hoje, vem passando muita segurança à toda equipe. Ajustamos a defesa e isso foi importante. A comissão técnica deu uma atenção especial a esse setor. Estamos evoluindo muito neste sentido e queremos manter esses números nas próximas semanas.

Ainda segundo o atleta, o Leão da Toca vai em busca de um grande resultado diante do Ceará, sábado (15), fora de casa.

– O Ceará, assim como a nossa equipe, vem fazendo um grande segundo turno e está se recuperando na Série A. Vai ser um jogo muito equilibrado, entre duas equipes que buscarão a vitória, sem dúvida. Vamos procurar fazer um jogo seguro novamente fora de casa para sairmos de lá com um resultado positivo – garantiu o defensor.

وأوضحت أنه في الوقت الذي سافر فيه ستيفان بايتيتش مع ليفربول إلى إسبانيا، رغم معاناته من إصابة مؤخرًا، إلا أنه تم استبعاد هندرسون تمامًا.

 

Petersen succeeds where Cook and Bopara fail

Alviro Petersen hit 145 against his former county but Essex’s England batsmen Alastair Cook and Ravi Bopara were less successfull

Alex Winter at Cardiff02-May-2012
ScorecardAlviro Petersen scored his first century for Essex against his old county•Getty Images

There were several sub-plots to the first day’s play in Cardiff. The first was the seasonal return of Alastair Cook for Essex. The second, the performance of England’s No. 6-in-waiting Ravi Bopara. And the third, Alviro Petersen lining up against his former county.The first two tales got no further than the opening lines. But Petersen played an innings which demanded more attention. It was an innings that should have gained him renewed respect in these parts – respect that was lost during the will-he-won’t-he affair over the winter when Petersen reneged on his agreement with Glamorgan and returned instead to international cricket, then took up a short-term overseas role with Essex.Petersen is an invaluable asset to Essex, who have a dearth of opening batsman. They were able to call on Cook to open here but his participation in Essex’s first-class season will be over after next week’s match against Kent. That Petersen is able to play the opening set of county matches finds a solution – albeit temporarily – to their troubles at the top of the order.But so far he has been not much more than a name to put on the team sheet, his contributions in the opening three games light. Here, the bit was between his teeth and he made a chanceless hundred that was fervently, but not offensively, celebrated by a packed Essex balcony. As for the spectators, most of whom had applauded him on to the field, there was no repeat of the booing that greeted Tom Maynard’s return last season.Petersen is not a memorably attractive player but his driving was a delight. A good stride down the pitch and a firm punch with a check drive bringing boundaries to the short straight fences and through extra cover on occasions too. But little did he come out to the ball on the front foot outside off stump. And only when well set did he cut – lashing a ball over point shortly before Bopara was lbw for a third-ball duck. He knew to be careful and left well.”We’ve had stop start games so it’s nice to get a full day in and I’m happy with my batting,” Petersen said. “It was a dampish wicket which did a lot, especially with the new ball and it was difficult for batters to score. We would have bowled first too.”Petersen may have endorsed Mark Wallace’s decision to insert Essex but there was nothing throughout most of the morning to suggest Wallace was correct. It took Dean Cosker’s 500th first-class wicket, finding a thin edge from Billy Godleman, and Bopara playing across the line for the scoreboard to resemble something the hosts would have been pleased with at lunch.The wicket was quite slow – a given in Cardiff and all the more so after heavy rain in days before this match – and it took the application demonstrated by Petersen and Godleman, who has a hundred to his name already this season, to make runs. The scenario was well set for Cook but he paid the penalty for pushing forward at one outside of off stump.Petersen played straight for the most part of his innings, unless he was given the chance to pull, which he did to two successive balls to take him into the 90s. A drive through the covers brought him to 99 and a quick single – another feature of his earnest innings – brought up his third century in county cricket, his first of the season, from 147 balls.He had defended Cosker – a dangerously experienced operator – playing with very light hands and worked him around, not risking sweeping. But the coup de grace of the knock was a big six into the Cathedral Road stand.He partnership with Mark Pettini, who was educated in these parts, consumed most of the afternoon session during which Wallace might have been ruing the fact he took the soft option of bowling first. But Pettini gave Waters his second wicket of three and his new-ball partner Graham Wagg – about whose work during the winter Matthew Mott, Glamorgan’s head of elite development, was complimentary – ended Petersen’s 185 minute vigil.Wagg took advantage of the second new ball after tea to rattle away the lower order – a collapse of 5 for 13. Essex declared nine down but could make no inroads in the three overs they had time to send down.
