Alberto Valentim não se opõe diante dos números de Tiago Reis. Após marcar dois gols em duas partidas como titular do Vasco, o treinador confirmou, em entrevista coletiva realizada nesta quarta-feira, em São Januário, que o camisa 27, além do time que enfrentou o Bangu, no último sábado, vai jogar na próxima quinta-feira, no Maracanã, pela semifinal da Taça Rio.

– Joga o Tiago Reis. Vai ser o mesmo time. Não vou esconder de vocês. Sempre falei que as oportunidades viriam para todos. O Tiago Reis está bem, aproveitando bem as oportunidades e muito atento no que a gente pede. A qualidade de finalização é dele, tem personalidade, está solto e contamos muito com ele nos jogos – confessou.

Como o próprio treinador afirmou, Rossi será titular, mas Valentim contará com o retorno de Yago Pikachu, que retomou às atividades no Cruz-Maltino após passar por um protocolo de concussão. Além disso, o comandante explicitou a vontade de contar com Maxi López, que está com uma lombalgia.

– Yago vai para o jogo. Foi uma volta gradativa. Treinou muito bem ontem, fez um gol na atividade. Tomara que tenhamos o Maxi como opção para nos ajudar, caso precise durante o jogo – afirmou.

Beuran Hendricks’ maiden first-class ten-wicket haul helped South Africa A seal a comfortable 121-run win in the second unofficial Test against India A in Pretoria and square the two-match series. Hendricks ran through India’s top order to leave them in tatters at 18 for 5 by the 10th over. The target of 307 appeared beyond the horizon for India at that stage, though Ajinkya Rahane and Wriddhiman Saha hit half-centuries to give the visitors an outside chance.It was Hendricks’ match all through, however. He had picked up five wickets in the first innings and had removed M Vijay in his first over of the second innings on day three, and there was no let-off for India’s batsmen on the last day. Hendricks struck on his seventh ball of the day to dismiss Shahbaz Nadeem, the nightwatchman, and followed it up with the wicket of Dinesh Karthik two balls later. Ambati Rayudu became Hendricks’ ninth victim when he edged one to the wicketkeeper next over. That India lost their best batsman, Cheteshwar Pujara, to a run-out off the first ball of the day meant that the visitors had all but squandered the chase.Rahane and Saha redeemed the situation to some extent for India with a strong sixth-wicket stand of 160. The mammoth partnership was, however, bookended by two collapses, as none of the other batsmen were able to get into double-digit scores. The two batsmen took different approaches when they came together; Rahane did the bulk of the scoring, while Saha held on to his end. He was on 14 off 57 balls when Rahane reached his half-century off 67 deliveries. But Saha soon found relative fluency, driving two deliveries off a Simon Harmer over to the boundary. The partnership was about grind though – they reached the hundred off their partnership off 180 deliveries.It was Hendricks again who got past the defences of Rahane to trigger the second collapse as the last five wickets fell for eight runs. Harmer, who had picked up four wickets in the first innings, added three more to his tally towards the end.

ScorecardChris Rogers was back churning out runs for Middlesex at Lord’s•Getty Images

Chris Rogers may have only made 21 runs for Australia in the Lord’s Test but nothing seems to disturb his serenity batting here for Middlesex. As some welcome September sun descended on the Home of Cricket, Rogers provided a reminder – if one were needed – that his game remains in fine working order ahead of the return Ashes series.Rogers didn’t play any particularly memorable shots, but then why would he need to? He has a method that works; his brain and body perfectly in sync as he goes about accumulating. But, rather like Justin Langer, Rogers may have the feel of a prodder but often has the strike-rate of a dasher. The 67 he has so far compiled here, off only 111 balls, are another case in point. His quick judgment of length means Rogers is able to score quickly without any discernible effort.With Sam Robson playing with the caution of a man who has not passed 30 in his last eight completed innings, Middlesex’s openers combined to suggest this game will be consigned to a draw. Only when Robson attempted a harum-scarum single did Nottinghamshire look like snaring a wicket.But, as rewarding as Rogers found his day with the bat, his day captaining must have been deeply frustrating. That two quick bowlers – James Harris and Gurjit Sandhu – both went for over 4.5 an over spoke of an attack lacking a little control. For Gareth Berg the problem was more one of luck: his seamers repeatedly passed the edge, including of Patel on several occasions, and he wasn’t flattered by figures of 2 for 78. On the sort of wicket that could be designed with producing a five-day Test in mind, how Middlesex would have benefited from the venom of Steven Finn.The result was that Notts added 269 runs in 60.4 overs – double the rate at which they had scored on the first day. But, for all the big names in their middle order, it was Andre Adams who provided the day’s biggest entertainment.Promoted above Chris Read in a bid to get Nottinghamshire to 350 in time to collect their fourth batting bonus point, Adams promptly backed away to leg and hoiked his first ball over long-on for six. There is no great subtlety to Adams’ batting but his death-or-glory approach was perfectly tailored to his side’s need. Five times the Lord’s boundary was made to look inadequate, until he was snared on the long-off boundary attempting a sixth maximum. But his work had long since been done: Adams had secured the fourth bonus point in the nick of time and, in taking Notts to 430 for 7 declared, to a position of apparent impregnability.After Steven Mullaney had advanced to a technically assured 125 – his second century of the season – Samit Patel and David Hussey both contributed perky knocks. Patel was playing with his customary languid assurance – a couple of straight drives elicited purrs of approval from the members – and it was a matter of considerable surprise when he fell to an outstanding slip catch from Ollie Rayner’s outstretched hand.Hussey had fallen short of his usual exemplary standards this season but made 67 that bristled with intent. It always seems a wonder, given all the travails of the Australian middle-order, that Hussey never earned a Test cap. He did earn 108 international appearances in the two shorter formats, and enjoyed the chance to bat in one-day mode here. By the end of the day, it was another Australia who was to the fore.

Sunil Narine hopes to draw from the experience of playing in the IPL to help Trinidad & Tobago succeed in the Champions League

Renaldo Matadeen17-Sep-2013West Indies and Kolkata Knight Riders spinner Sunil Narine hopes to draw from the experience of playing in the IPL to help Trinidad & Tobago succeed in the Champions League T20.Narine impressed in his maiden IPL season in 2012, picking up 24 wickets and finishing one behind the leading wicket-taker Morne Morkel, when Knight Riders won their only title. His consistency continued in the next season as he took 22 wickets.”Having played in India and learning a lot with Kolkata [Knight Riders] I think I can use the Indian conditions to my best ability,” Narine said. “Playing in the IPL is a plus I have and having won the T20 crown with West Indies last year, I think I’m equipped for this challenge.”Trinidad & Tobago’s first match is in Ranchi, which Narine believes to be advantageous. Ranchi was Kolkata’s second home venue during the IPL last year and the spinner has fond memories of the JSCA ground, having claimed a four-wicket haul against Royal Challengers Bangalore.”I have experience playing at Ranchi and have done well there. I think that I can share my knowledge with my team when it comes to the venue and also to some of the teams,” he said. “So far we have studied the teams that we are going to meet and the players have knowledge of them going in. We have the right crop for the title-run.”Brian Lara, who is traveling with T&T, said they could replicate their heroics from the inaugural Champions League in 2009, when they made the final.”We have a great chance. It’s a young team but there is experience in Denesh (Ramdin) and Sunil Narine, as well as (Ravi) Rampaul, so I can see us making the final four,” he said. “T20 is our kind of game and we’ve shown this as a country but also as a region.”T&T swept all their matches in the Caribbean T20 tournament, barring the opening game which was rained out, and beat Guyana by nine-wickets in the final, qualifying for the CLT20 directly for the first time this year.

Pacers Sian Ruck and Rachel Candy, and legspinner Erin Bermingham picked up two wickets each, as a sudden batting collapse from West Indies Women helped New Zealand Women secure a nine-run win in a low-scoring encounter in Bridgetown

ScorecardRachel Priest smashed 26 off just 17 to take New Zealand Women to 101•WICBPacers Sian Ruck and Rachel Candy, and legspinner Erin Bermingham picked up two wickets each, as a sudden batting collapse from West Indies Women helped New Zealand Women secure a nine-run win in a low-scoring encounter in Bridgetown.West Indies, chasing a modest 101, were comfortable at 44 for 0 after 10, but the wickets of the opener Juliana Nero and Deandra Dottin off successive deliveries from Bermingham in the next over, turned the game in New Zealand’s favour. Stafanie Taylor, who top-scored with a 36-ball 24, was then soon removed by medium-pacer Nicola Browne, leaving West Indies at 57 for 3, and needing 45 from a run a ball.The hosts tried to push on, but couldn’t recover from their top-order wobble, as the other batters could only add 35 in the remaining overs . A paltry 10 each from Kyshona Knight and Stacy-Ann King aside, no one else could produce more than six runs, as Candy and Ruck stifled West Indies’ middle and lower order to restrict them to 91 for 8 in 20 overs.New Zealand, electing to bat, were earlier helped largely by a 30-run partnership for the fifth wicket between Maddie Green and Rachel Priest, enabling them to recover from a loss of early wickets. Shaquana Quintyne, the leading wicket-taker of the the tournament, followed up her five-for in the previous game against England Women with two more wickets, dismissing Sophie Devine and Katie Perkins for her sixth and seventh scalps of the series.The visitors were precariously placed at 50 for 4 after 11.2 overs, but Priest added a late surge by blasting three fours and a six during her 17-ball 26, to help take New Zealand to 101.

The ICC decided against allowing teams to keep referrals denied on an umpire’s call out of fear the game would be slowed down too much, the Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland has revealed

Daniel Brettig11-Oct-2013

The ICC decided against allowing teams to keep referrals that were denied on an umpire’s call out of fear the game would be slowed down too much, even as it approved the introduction of a DRS “top-up” after 80 overs, the Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland has revealed. As he discussed the fall-out from the Nine Network’s decision not to employ Hot Spot during this summer’s Ashes series, Sutherland said the equity of umpire’s call verdicts had been debated “long and hard” by the chief executive’s committee at the most recent ICC meeting.While Hot Spot’s effectiveness and use has been a point of contention since the Ashes Tests in England earlier this year, the loss of referrals to tight decisions that have stayed with the umpire’s original verdict created a similar level of discussion among players, spectators and administrators. Sutherland said it was still possible that such reviews would be handed back to the players, but admitted there was hesitance based on the possibility that the number of reviews may increase substantially.”We debated umpire’s call long and hard, and what was eventually decided was that they wanted to leave that pending for a little while,” Sutherland said. “We agreed to the top-up after 80 overs. That will come back on the agenda, and it’s not a bad idea. The ICC assessment is that if you don’t lose a review for umpire’s call, you will increase the number of referrals by at least double, and that will change the game. Everyone likes the idea of the referral being really valuable, and you need to think really carefully about using it, because it all comes back to the howler.”Sutherland denied that CA needed to step in to the stand-off between Nine and Hot Spot’s ringmaster Warren Brennan, and rejected the notion that Australian cricket’s governing body did not provide financial support in the way of other nations. He said that CA’s rights fees factored in the broadcast costs of Nine, whereas other nations paid for production in-house and then charged at higher odds for the rights themselves. “Indirectly we’re paying for it,” he said.”The first use of Hot Spot was all about broadcast enhancement. And in Australia that’s been something Nine have sponsored and dealt with and had discussions with Warren Brennan and his company in the past, they’ve had arrangements that they’ve used successfully. We’ve never been involved with those discussions and never needed to be. That continues to be a commercial negotiation between those two.”I’ve spoken with [Nine chief] David Gyngell about it, I know and understand from Nine’s viewpoint they’re not walking away from that and see it as an ongoing discussion. They certainly have concerns about Hot Spot in various ways, both commercially and in an operational capacity, and it’s something they will work through. They’ve been able to sort it out in the past, so let’s see if they can sort it out. This is still six weeks out from the series, it’s not a unique circumstance where Nine and Hot Spot have had discussions about broadcast enhancements.”Debates about DRS have ranged from whether the system should be used at all to which technology is most reliable and which system makes the best use of it. Sutherland saw a tension around the issue of how much accuracy should be demanded from technology that will always have a certain margin of error, no matter how small.”The biggest problem is what is your satisfaction level about imperfection,” he said. “We can all say ‘we know it’s not perfect’, but someone’s acceptance of imperfect might be here and another’s is 99.9%. That area of grey in between those two extremes is where this system gets into trouble. Not saying this is true, but as an example, do you accept the fact that if 80% of the time a nick will show on Hot Spot, but you know that 20% of the time it won’t – do you accept that or not?”

ScorecardA career-best haul for left-arm spinner Ahmed Raza and a half-century from Shaiman Anwar helped UAE push ahead of Namibia on the opening day of the Intercontinental Cup match that saw 15 wickets.Namibia, who chose to bat at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, were in trouble early on as debutant pacer Kamran Shazad struck in successive overs to dismiss opener Xander Pitchers and Stephan Baard. But from that point onwards, the innings belonged to Raza, whose dominance of the Namibia batting was reflected in his figures of 7 for 37 off 20.4 overs.Raza, introduced into the attack in the ninth over, bowled three maidens first-up and had debutant Michau de Preez caught behind for his first wicket. Bowling unchanged from one end for the rest of the Namibia innings, Raza induced a batting collapse that saw the visitors fold for 90.UAE were shaky at the start, too, as Namibia’s left-arm pacer JJ Smit struck off successive balls in the fifth over to dismiss Saqib Shah and Saqib Ali. UAE’s recovery was led by the in-form Shaiman Anwar who shared a 123-run third-wicket stand with Khurram Khan. Anwar scored a 90-ball 81, which included 10 fours and three sixes while Khurram played a more sedate 49 off 111 balls.Namibia tried out nine bowlers, including captain Raymond van Schoor, who temporarily gave up his wicketkeeping gloves to pitch in with three overs. The breakthrough, however, came from part-time offspinner Pitchers, who dismissed Anwar. Du Preez took the wicket of Khurram Khan with his legspin, while Smit got his third leg-before victim in Rohan Mustafa.

Invicto em clássicos neste ano, assim como seu rival neste domingo, às 16h, o Santos terá sua terceira chance em 2019 de bater o Corinthians na Arena em Itaquera. Até aqui são dois empates: um amistoso que terminou 1 a 1, e o jogo pela primeira fase do Paulistão, que ficou no 0 a 0. Agora, na fase decisiva, é a oportunidade do time de Sampaoli mostrar que a reação não foi apenas contra o Red Bull, mas durará para finalmente vencer o duelo alvinegro.

Para isso, o treinador argentino terá a volta de seus três estrangeiros que estavam representando suas seleções nacionais: Derlis González, Soteldo e Cueva. No entanto, apenas o paraguaio, um dos principais nomes do time na temporada, deverá ter espaço no time titular e recuperará a vaga que foi ocupada por Eduardo Sasha, dúvida para este domingo, nos últimos jogos.

Derlis foi um dos destaques do clássico contra o Timão na primeira fase do Paulistão. Jogando com liberdade no ataque, achou espaços, conseguiu finalizar e quase levou os santistas a conquistarem os três pontos. Vale lembrar que o atacante participou de 12 gols em 13 jogos oficiais em 2019, quase um por jogo. Sua volta, sem dúvidas, fortalece o grupo para a decisão.

Na defesa, se considerarmos que Sampaoli escolheu definitivamente uma dupla titular, pode haver o desfalque de Gustavo Henrique, que sentiu a coxa na última terça-feira, contra o Red Bull e foi substituído por Luiz Felipe, que poderá ganhar nova oportunidade para entrar em campo neste domingo.

A maior dúvida fica por conta do companheiro de Derlis no ataque, já que nas quartas de final Sampaoli optou por jogadores diferentes ao lado de Eduardo Sasha. Na primeira partida, quando venceu por 2 a 0, escalou Rodrygo, enquanto na volta, pensando na vantagem, preferiu Copete, surpreendendo aqueles que imaginaram que haveria repetição na formação.

Cueva, que retornou com moral dos amistoso da seleção peruano, deverá ser um dos trunfos no banco de reserva para alterar a movimentação do time em campo, assim como aconteceu no segundo tempo do último duelo com o Corinthians, quando o camisa 8 e Rodrygo entraram após o intervalo e mudaram a dinâmica da partida.

Determinado a vencer o confronto alvinegro pela primeira vez em 2019, o Santos enfrenta o Corinthians neste domingo, às 16h, na Arena, em confronto válido pela partida de ida da semifinal do Paulistão-2019.

O Botafogo luta para se classificar à quarta fase da Copa do Brasil. Após um empate em 1 a 1 no Rio de Janeiro, a tarefa do Alvinegro será em Caxias do Sul, contra o Juventude, no Estádio Alfredo Jaconi, às 19h15. A partida será disputada nesta quinta-feira e, como não há a vantagem do gol fora de casa, qualquer empate levará a decisão para a disputa de pênaltis.

Apesar de conviver com alguns momentos um tanto quanto conturbados no extra-campo, existem razões que o Botafogo pode se apoiar para superar esses fatores, garantir a classificação e virar a chave na temporada. O LANCE! mostra cinco razões que podem ser aliadas do Alvinegro na partida.

ESTRELA DE ERIK

Erik é um dos destaques do Botafogo. Importante em 2018, quando foi um dos jogadores responsáveis por tirar o Alvinegro de uma posição desconfortável no Campeonato Brasileiro, o atacante vem repetindo a dose na atual temporada, principalmente quando o assunto é competição mata-mata. No jogo de ida, ele sofreu o pênalti e concluiu, marcando o único gol do Glorioso.

O camisa 11 se transforma em partidas eliminatórias. No ano, contando jogos válidos por Copa do Brasil e Copa Sul-Americana, Erik marcou seis gols em cinco partidas. Isso representa que, em média, o atacante balança as redes 1,2 vezes por duelo.

GATITO

Especialista em defender cobranças de pênalti, Gatito Fernández pode ser importante caso a partida termine empatada e a decisão se dê por meio dos chutes à marca da cal. Até aqui, o paraguaio pegou dez cobranças vestindo a camisa do Botafogo, contando finalizações no tempo normal e em disputas.

O goleiro esteve diretamente envolvido nas decisões por pênalti contra o Olimpia, pela segunda fase preliminar da Libertadores de 2017, e diante do Vasco, na final do Campeonato Carioca de 2018. Nas duas ocasiões, o Botafogo saiu vitorioso de campo.

SITUAÇÃO FINANCEIRA

Os jogadores ganharam uma forma de motivação para a partida. Nesta terça-feira, a diretoria do Botafogo confirmou o pagamento dos salários referente a fevereiro, e o pagamento das imagens do mesmo mês está encaminhado. Dessa forma, apenas março – que venceu no último dia 5 – está atrasado.

Os jogadores do Botafogo até resolveram não se concentrar para a primeira partida do confronto, realizado no Estádio Nilton Santos, como uma forma de protesto aos salários atrasados. Agora, os atletas comandados por Zé Ricardo chegarão em Caxias do Sul com uma situação financeira mais favorável.

DEFESA SÓLIDA

Assim como Erik, a dupla de zagueiros também ‘se transforma’ quando o assunto é torneio eliminatório. Marcelo Benevenuto e Gabriel, parceria que vem sendo escolhida por Zé Ricardo, são dois dos destaques do Botafogo na temporada. Em seis partidas de mata-mata disputadas em 2019, o Alvinegro concedeu apenas um gol – justamente no jogo de ida contra o Juventude – e muito disso passa por conta do desempenho dos dois.

Sem Joel Carli, capitão da equipe, lesionado desde o começo da temporada, o jovem Marcelo Benevenuto, oriundo das categorias de base, entrou e não comprometeu. Gabriel, por sua vez, foi envolvido na negociação que levou Igor Rabello ao Atlético-MG e reencontrou as boas atuações no Rio de Janeiro.

DESEMPENHO EM CASA IRREGULAR DO JUVENTUDE

Apesar do Estádio Alfredo Jaconi ser tradicional e a torcida do Juventude ser uma das mais famosas do futebol gaúcho, a equipe ainda não mostrou que sabe aproveitar esses fatores na temporada. Em 2019, o time alviverde fez nove jogos em seus domínios, com duas vitórias, um empate e cinco derrotas, o que representa um aproveitamento de 29%.

Uma dessas vitórias, porém, foi justamente na Copa do Brasil. Na fase anterior, o Juventude superou o América-MG por 2 a 1. O desempenho do Alviverde contra equipes da Série A em 2019 não é dos melhores: perdeu para o Grêmio por 6 a 0, nas oitavas do Gauchão, e de 2 a 1 para o Internacional, na fase de grupos do Estadual.
