Shaun Udal, the former England offspinner, has announced his retirement from first-class cricket, three years after he had originally decided to quit the game

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Oct-2010Shaun Udal, the former England offspinner, has announced his retirement from first-class cricket, three years after he had originally decided to quit the game. Udal, 41, had called time in 2007 after nearly 20 seasons with Hampshire but was lured out of retirement soon after by Middlesex, who he has represented since.Udal helped Middlesex to the t20 Cup in the 2008 season, towards the end of which he took over as the club’s captain. He resigned from the role earlier this year. He led Middlesex in the Stanford 20/20 in 2008 and Twenty20 nearly provided him an unlikely international comeback at the age of 40, when he was named in England’s preliminary squad for the World Twenty20 in 2009.Udal played the last of his four Tests for England in 2006 and his final ODI in December 2005. The highlight of his international career was his 4 for 14 on the final day of the Mumbai Test in 2006 which helped England to a famous series-levelling victory against India.In a first-class career spanning 22 seasons, Udal collected 822 wickets at 32.47, including 37 five-wicket hauls, and scored nearly 8000 runs at 22.59. He also played 410 List A matches, taking 458 wickets at 30.19 and making 2966 runs.”I am extremely lucky to have played the game I love for such a long period of time,” Udal said. “It is obviously a sad day – waving goodbye to something very special is always difficult – but I look forward to getting stuck in to the next chapter of my life.”Angus Fraser, Middlesex’s managing director of cricket, hailed Udal’s contribution to the club. “When Shaun took over as Middlesex captain, he inherited a fractured dressing room and morale was low,” Fraser said. “During the two years he captained Middlesex Shaun successfully pulled the team closer together and the dressing room is now a far happier and united place. He has handed over to Neil Dexter a club in far better shape than the one he inherited.”

No futebol se fala muito que treinadores dos times são professores. Didática, educação e muito empenho são fundamentais para isso. No Vasco, o técnico Zé Ricardo faz jus a esta afirmação. Estudioso, o comandante cruz-maltino foi atrás não somente das qualidades do Jorge Wilstermann, da Bolívia, adversário da equipe nesta quarta-feira, em São Januário, pela ida da terceira fase da Conmebol Libertadores. Zé Ricardo foi além: estudou a história da equipe boliviana.

– O Jorge Wilstermann foi um aviador, né? O primeiro aviador boliviano e deu o nome à equipe. Junto ao Bolivar, vem se fortalecendo no cenário nacional. Na Libertadores, também. Acho que a Bolívia mudou de patamar na Libertadores. Enfrentar o Bolivar e o Jorge Wilstermann é difícil em qualquer situação. Eliminaram o Galo, fizeram bom jogo contra o Palmeiras… – comentou Zé Ricardo em entrevista coletiva na tarde desta segunda-feira.

Com o clima leve, Zé Ricardo ainda enfatizou que a missão ficará completa somente caso classifique o Vasco para a fase de grupos da Libertadores.

– A missão só ficará completa se passarmos para a fase de grupos. É o nosso desejo e o desejo da nossa torcida. Não é um jogo qualquer, um jogo eliminatório, por isso temos que saber jogar e o torcedor também faz parte disso. Os atletas estão entendendo que a competitividade vai existir sempre e precisam tratá-la de forma sadia. O clima está leve, mas não menos responsável, pois o grande sonho nosso é chegar na fase de grupos da Libertadores. Vamos encarar essa partida como uma grande final de Copa do Mundo – finalizou o treinador.

Vasco e Jorge Wilstermann se enfrentam às 21h45 desta quarta-feira com transmissão em tempo real do LANCE!.

Sri Lanka’s attempt to compile a massive first-innings score and pressurize India were put on hold as the entire second day in Galle was washed out due to intermittent showers

Cricinfo staff19-Jul-2010Sri Lanka’s attempt to compile a massive first-innings score and pressurise India was put on hold as the entire second day in Galle was washed out due to intermittent showers. Overnight rain had ensured there was no play possible before lunch, and the conditions deteriorated further with bad light and sporadic downpours. There was a period when the covers came off after a dose of sunshine, but an inspection scheduled for 2.30pm never happened as the rain refused to relent.The hosts had reached a dominant position at the end of the first day, finishing on 256 for 2, with centuries from captain Kumar Sangakkara and opener Tharanga Paranavitana, who is still batting. With Mahela Jayawardene giving Paranavitana company, and Thilan Samaraweera, Angelo Mathews and Prasanna Jayawardene to follow, things look bleak for the Indian team. Spectators who had flocked to the Galle International Stadium on the first day in the hope of watching Muttiah Muralitharan bowl in his final Test were made to wait longer. Play is scheduled to resume at 9.30am on Tuesday, weather permitting.

Leeds United finally return to competitive action this evening as they head to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side did not have a game over the weekend after they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the third round by West Ham United, whilst last time out in this competition, they tasted defeat to Newcastle United.

So the 66-year-old boss will be looking to see some sort of reaction down in the Midlands tonight.

The Yorkshire giants have often struggled in the final third this campaign and that’s largely been due to the absence of last season’s top goalscorer Patrick Bamford, who remains missing through injury.

Without him, the Argentinian has tried an array of options, ranging from youth striker Joe Gelhardt – who Football FanCast have backed to earn a start against Steven Gerrard’s side – to playing a winger out of position like Daniel James.

Well, it’s the latter that he must not do at Villa Park this evening.

The Welshman, who joined in a club-record £30m deal in the summer, has hugely underwhelmed since his move from Manchester United. They must’ve been more than happy to cash in at that absurd figure.

James ranks outside of Bielsa’s top ten best-performing players in the Premier League this season, averaging a seasonal WhoScored rating of 6.54 – only one player who has started 15 or more games has managed worse (Diego Llorente, 6.49).

That is rather telling in itself but the 24-year-old winger has only delivered two goals and one assist.

There are seven more players that are averaging more key passes per game than the summer signing (0.8 per game), whilst his average of two shots per game has not correlated into goals whatsoever.

Ex-Premier League striker turned pundit Darren Bent once summed James up well.

“The only thing about Dan James at times, for me, he’s a little bit headless,” he told Football Insider back in November 2020 – when he was still at Old Trafford.

“He’s shown great potential, when he first went to United he played really well, scored a few goals but at times he for me he’s fouled or he shoots sometimes when he should pass it, he’ll pass when he should shoot.”

That’s just not what you need from someone expected to lead the line and it’s not as if he has the right physical attributes, at 5 foot 7, to truly fill Bamford’s shoes.

Then elsewhere, the £16.2m-rated wide man clearly not cutting it either, as evident by his paltry returns.

As such, it’s time for Bielsa to be ruthless in his team selection and he can do so by axing the lightweight James against Villa this evening.

AND in other news, Bielsa could have a new Pontus Jansson in Leeds’ 18 y/o “massive talent” who’s shades of VvD… 

Cricket Canada has settled on a squad for their upcoming engagement at the ICC America’s Division One Championship in Bermuda

Cricinfo staff07-May-2010

Cricket Canada has settled on a squad for their upcoming engagement at the ICC America’s Division One Championship in Bermuda, but it does not include regular captain Ashish Bagai, who is being rested ahead of what is to be a gruelling push to the 2011 World Cup. Rizwan Cheema, who deputized for Bagai during the tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year, will captain the side in Bagai’s absence.”With Ashish unavailable for this tour we are looking to Cheema and Chohan to lead this team to a good performance,” said Chris James, chairman of selectors. “We have confidence in our young players to perform in this competition but are looking to see some good contributions from the senior players as well.”The head coach of the national side, Pubudu Dassanayake, was pleased with the squad and expressed his hopes that the team could return the America’s championship trophy to Canada. “We have just come out of a tough tour of the West Indies and are looking to build up into the WCL Division 1 and continue on into the World Cup,” he said. “Our expectation for this team is high and we are looking to reassert ourselves in the region.”Dassanayake will hand the team over to former Canadian captain and current Cricket Operations Officer Ingleton Liburd for the Bermuda tour as he will be participating in the upcoming Cricket Australia Conference in Australia at the time. This annual conference involves the majority of Australia’s full-time state and national coaching, sports science and sports medicine staff.Second Vice President Vimal Hardat backed Liburd to do well with the team, saying “Ingleton Liburd is one of our all time great players and we feel very comfortable handing over the reigns to him for this tour. The expectation will be high but we are confident he can deliver.”The team training camp has already started in Toronto, and the squad will leave on May 27 for the championship in Bermuda, which runs from May 28 to June 6.Canada squad: Rizwan Cheema (capt), Khurram Chohan, Harvir Baidwan, Trevin Bastiampillai, Umar Bhatti, Rustam Bhatti, Parth Desai, Sunil Dhaniram, Jimmy Hansra, Calvert Hooper, Sandeep Jyoti, Nitish Kumar, Usman Limbada, Zubin Surkari

Many Glasgow Rangers fans have been left buzzing as some early team news has emerged ahead of their Old Firm clash next month.

Speaking in his pre-game press conference ahead of their match at home to Dundee United this afternoon, Giovanni van Bronckhorst has now revealed that any players that are set to represent their countries at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January will be available for their game away at Celtic on the 2nd before being released.

The likes of Leon Balogun, Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo could well be called up to the Nigeria squad for the tournament, which kicks off a week later on the 9th.

All three have made at least 18 appearances in total over all competitions so far this season for the Ibrox faithful, and so are all important members of the squad.

Thus, having them available for potentially their biggest game of the season against their bitter rivals, given their positions in the Scottish Premiership table, would be a big boost to their chances of winning.

These Teddy Bears supporters buzzed as the team news was shared on Twitter, with one even going as far as to claim that it is ‘brilliant’:

In other news, find out which loanee is now set to return to RFC here!

According to a report by Tuttosport (as shared by Sport Witness), Juventus are now ‘ready to agree’ a loan deal for Aaron Ramsey in the January window, with Newcastle listed as the possible destination.

The Lowdown: Serie A hasn’t worked out for Ramsey

Ramsey has had a disappointing career in the Serie A since joining giants Juventus, having failed to secure himself a spot in the side’s starting eleven. In the league this season, the Wales international has played just 98 minutes of football, spanning over three games, coming off the bench in two of those.

The former Arsenal man has endured some horrendous injuries over the years, and it seems his bad luck has followed him to Italy. Due to an unknown injury sustained in the middle of November, Ramsey has since missed nine games for Massimiliano Allegri’s side, with a return date still unknown.

As a result, Allegri is looking to offload Ramsey, as his monstrous £230,000-a-week salary is taking a heavy hit on Juventus’ finances.

The Latest: Loan deal with Newcastle?

According to a report by Tuttosport (as relayed by Sport Witness), Juventus are now ‘ready to agree’ a loan deal and Tuttosport have singled out the Magpies as the only listed destination for the player.

The situation is considered a ‘work in progress’, as it appears that Ramsey is standing his ground in regard to not taking a wage cut. A loan deal would be preferable for Newcastle in this case, as Juventus would likely pick up part of the wage bill.

The Verdict: Good deal for both parties

Ramsey is contracted to the Turin club until the summer of 2023. Therefore, if Howe’s side do get relegated to the Championship, the 31-year-old will be able to walk-away from the club and return to his big-money deal in Italy.

For Newcastle, Ramsey would be a brilliant signing in the short-term. Having created or score 91 goals in 262 appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal, the Welshman would provide the Magpies with that much-needed experience, which is critical in a relegation battle.

Wales teammate Joe Allen has claimed that Ramsey is still a ‘world-class player’, despite calls over his recent form in the Serie A. This suggests that the signing of the Juventus-man would be a fantastic addition to Howe’s Newcastle side if they can keep him fit for the relegation scrap.

A number of Liverpool supporters are delighted after journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed Divock Origi would not be leaving in the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old had put together a memorable Reds career – one that will likely see him considered a legend for many years to come.

While Origi has rarely been a regular starter for Liverpool since arriving in 2014, he has scored some iconic goals against the likes of Barcelona, Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle United and most recently Wolves.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

The Belgian’s current deal potentially expires in the summer of 2023 and he has even been linked with a January exit, despite Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane being away from Africa Cup of Nations duty.

Taking to Twitter on Saturday, however, Romano claimed Origi was going nowhere until at least the summer, saying Liverpool have no intention of selling him this month.

In other news, some Liverpool fans also love a David Ornstein transfer claim. Read more here.

Flocking to Twitter, lots of Manchester City supporters have gone wild as a £59.3m claim emerges involving wantaway forward Ferran Torres.

Sporting director Txiki Begiristain secured his signing in the summer of 2020, with Torres moving to City for an initial £21m, arguably a bargain fee for one of Spain’s most promising stars.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/man-city-latest/” title=”Man City latest!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The forward, who impressed this season before his recent injury lay-off, has averaged more shots on goal per 90 than any Sky Blues player (WhoScored), often being utilised as a makeshift out-and-out centre-forward by Pep Guardiola.

Despite playing a more prominent role at Eastlands when available, big news over this last week indicates that Torres could now prematurely move back to La Liga, with reliable reporter Sam Lee of The Athletic backing the 21-year-old’s desire to join Barcelona as they eye a move.

Many updates on the situation have emerged since then but one claim from journalist Gerard Romero has had many Citizens talking.

Taking to Twitter, the Twitch reporter claimed that City have slapped a €70m (£59.3m) price tag on the player as Begiristain looks to make nearly triple what was originally paid to sign Torres. Barca are only offering €50m (£42.4m), with the Citizens showing no sign of letting their starlet leave Manchester easily.

Man City fans go wild…

The former Valencia man shone at Euro 2020 in parts, getting on the scoresheet and providing an assist for Luis Enrique’s side in their epic last 16 win over Croatia.

He’s also been playing more centrally for Spain at times this season, bagging a brace and putting in a Man of the Match display against Euro 2020 winners Italy in their 2-1 UEFA Nations League semi-final victory last month.

Thriving on both the international and club stage over 2021/22 so far, it’s little wonder that City value him at £59.3m, especially considering that he is still just 21 and has huge sell-on potential.

As City make their stance clear in negotiations, with only a sizeable fee enough to part ways, many Sky Blues have gone wild on Twitter as they praise Begiristain and the club for not being pushed around.
