I wasn't given enough time – Moores

Peter Moores has expressed his “frustration” had not being allowed more time to develop the England side after his second spell as coach was brought to an abrupt end on Saturday with confirmation of his sacking.It came less than a day after he had been in charge of the side during the washed out ODI against Ireland, in Malahide, but that followed a winter of woeful limited-overs results then, most recently, the drawn Test series in West Indies which ended with defeat in Barbados – a reversal that has proved the final straw.However, Moores leaves the international arena – for the second time – retaining the utmost belief in his abilities as a coach and believes that England will reap the benefits of what he has done over the past year.”My record in developing players stands for itself and though we have had some frustrations along the way I am confident that this team will go on and bring the success the supporters desperately want to see,” he said.”I knew when I took on the role that this was going to be a tough period for English cricket and I would need time and support to get new players through. My frustration is not being given that time.”I believe time will show that I have been instrumental in the identification and development of a new group of England players who will go on and bring honour and success to the England badge. I am a passionate Englishman who believes in hard work and an investment in the right people will bring its rewards.”There are strong parallels with Moores’ previous spell as England coach. As in the 2007-2008 stint, when he recalled Graeme Swann, first selected Matt Prior and brought together James Anderson and Stuart Broad as the new-ball pair, there have been signs of promise from England’s younger players – particularly in the Test arena.Moeen Ali, Jos Buttler and Chris Jordan have been introduced to the Test team, Gary Ballance has flourished, Ben Stokes showed glimpses of his promise on recall in West Indies, while Joe Root has bounced back emphatically from his poor tour of Australia. There has, however, been far less to cling to in the limited-overs formats with series defeats against Sri Lanka home and away, India and then the first-round exit at the World Cup.”To the players I want to say thanks for your support and commitment and I will be gutted not to work with every single one of you going forward. I wish you all the very best for the future,” Moores added.

Stevens talks of 'brutal' corruption tangle

Darren Stevens has spoken openly for the first time about the circumstances that caused him to become embroiled in the Bangladesh anti-corruption enquiry which saw Mohammad Ashraful banned for eight years

Darren Steven’s Story

Darren Stevens has spoken openly for the first time about the circumstances that caused him to become embroiled in the Bangladesh anti-corruption enquiry which saw their former captain Mohammad Ashraful banned for eight years.Stevens, one of county cricket’s longest-serving players, was charged with failing to report an alleged suspicious approach while he was playing in the Bangladesh Premier League two years ago.He was cleared by a Bangladesh Cricket Board anti-corruption tribunal in February last year but with the assistance of the Professional Cricketers Association he is now warning fellow professionals to report the merest hint of wrongdoing to avoid the “brutal” experience which threatened his future as a professional cricketer.Dhaka Gladiators’ managing director Shihab Chowdhury was banned for fixing, with former New Zealand batsman Lou Vincent and Sri Lanka batsman Kaushal Lokuarachchi banned for not reporting a bookmaker’s approach.Stevens, the Kent allrounder, has now appeared in a DVD, produced by the PCA, which will be shown to all county players before the start of the new domestic season as part of an updated anti-corruption code.He tells how he was playing for the Dhaka Gladiators when he was asked by the owner if he would captain the side in a match against Chittagong but that Mohammad Ashraful would still “run the game on the pitch”. Stevens refused and was later contact by Alan Peacock of the ICC anti-corruption unit.He relates: “Over the phone, he said to me: ‘Can we have a meeting about Bangladesh?’ It wasn’t too bad at the start but then it got worse and worse and worse.”When I got two charges through, I wouldn’t wish it on anybody, it was brutal. The next meeting was a four-and-a-half hour meeting in London. After that, it was hours and hours and hours of meetings with my lawyer going through everything, going through how the next six months up to the trial were probably going to pan out.”The trial in Bangladesh was in a small room in a bank with cameras everywhere: all different lawyers from all over the place in the same room. You just felt claustrophobic. I was there for nearly four weeks, five days a week in court going through everything. Just sitting there in court was more nervewracking than anything I have ever done.”I was on the stand for seven hours, five hours on the day and two-and-half hours on the morning. It was really hard. Cricket is my life and has been for 25 to 30 years. Every day that I was playing, it just felt like it was going to be my last game.”The former Essex fast bowler Mervyn Westfield was jailed for his involvement in spot-fixing, but after his release he participated in a comprehensive education and awareness initiative for the PCA.Stevens, too, hopes that talking about his experiences will help other players to appreciate the implications of failing to report any suspicious approach immediately.”It was horrific. Because I didn’t report at that time a suspicious act I have gone through hell over the last two years,” he said.”There are so many opportunities around the world now and if Bangladesh did come back up again I would not stop anyone going and playing out there. I would encourage them to go and play.”But I don’t want anybody to go through what I actually went through over those two years. In any of these tournaments anywhere around the world if you do come across anything suspicious just report it immediately.”

Além das mudanças em seu molde contratual, como salário e luvas, a diretoria santista tem oferecido um vínculo ao zagueiro até o fim de 2022. Gustavo Henrique já deixou claro diversas vezes que a vontade é de ficar no Santos.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsAn unbeaten century by Dwayne Smith lit up the Kensington Oval, helping Barbados Tridents to a comfortable 29-run win against St Lucia Zouks but sparks also flew elsewhere. Tino Best and Shoaib Malik were involved in an altercation after the bowler dismissed the batsman, his celebration littered with choice words. Malik returned the favour before the umpire’s intervened.However, the incident had no bearing on the cricket being played. Malik had scored 49, Tridents were 128 in the 15th over and Smith was cruising along at 71. There was no let off in the remaining 5.1 overs: Smith fired up a late surge adding 58 runs in the period. He reached his second T20 century of the penultimate ball of the innings with a six over midwicket of Sohail Tanvir and celebrated it with another six off the last ball.The innings had started in a similar flourish. Zouks opted to bowl but the first ball, bowled by Roelof van de Merwe, was cut past point for a boundary by Smith. It wasn’t a one off. Smith launched a four and a six over mid-off before cutting one through to the point boundary to make it 18 off the first over. Tanvir struck of his first ball from the other end, but that proved to be their only positive in the next 13.4 overs.Smith and Malik partnered in an 110-run association that set up the foundation for a huge total. The two took their time taking 34 runs in their first six overs and apart from an odd boundary, didn’t look to press on. Smith reached his half-century in the 11th over, off 39 balls. The innings got a boost in the 15th over when both Smith and Malik launched into Best, taking 15 runs off his first four balls. Best uprooted Malik’s leg stump in the fifth delivery, but the momentum had been shifted. Smith continued his merry six-hitting ways and ended up with a tally of eight hits overs the boundary.Zouks needed a strong start to their innings but their top-order batsmen were unable to string major partnerships together. By the time Darren Sammy was dismissed, for a duck, in the 14th over, the chase had gone out of hand. Zouks needed 108 off 42 balls at that stage and although Tanvir and Keddy Lesporis made a valiant effort, their unbeaten 78-run stand fell much short of the target.

Jogadores do São Paulo falam de cobrança devido ao jejum de vitórias

MatériaMais Notícias

A fase do São Paulo não é boa e o empate em 0 a 0 foi apenas mais um ingrediente nesse momento turbulento da equipe comandada por Cuca. Fato é que ninguém está satisfeito, nem torcedores, nem comissão técnica, nem elenco. E sobre isso duas vozes do grupo falaram após a partida em Santa Catarina, a sexta consecutiva sem vitória na temporada.

Um dos que se pronunciaram foi o zagueiro Bruno Alves, que tem liderado o sistema defensivo do time, ponto positivo nesta sequência ruim. Para ele, o cenário exige cabeça no lugar, poucas palavras e trabalho.

-Tem que ter a mentalidade forte, a torcida vem apoiando e eles têm todo direito de cobrar, porque a gente não pode ficar tanto tempo sem vitória. Então, como eu disse, o momento é de poucas palavras e bastante trabalho para buscar as vitórias novamente – declarou o defensor.

Outro que falou sobre o momento foi o goleiro Tiago Volpi, que também tem se destacado nos últimos tempos. De acordo com ele, as cobranças da torcida são naturais e crê que com a volta da confiança, as vitórias também retornarão.

-A cobrança é normal, a gente joga no São Paulo, um time multicampeão, então a cobrança vai existir, o torcedor apoiou durante os 90 minutos. No final a gente entende, ele fica chateado, fica frustrado com o empate, mas como eu falei, a gente joga no São Paulo, tem que estar acostumado com esse tipo de pressão. A confiança, muitas vezes, não é só por causa da pressão do torcedor, é uma pressão interna mesmo da gente, porque a gente trabalha, a gente tenta fazer o nosso melhor, e o nosso ego mesmo é assim por natureza, quando as coisas não acontecem, a decepção com a gente mesmo acontece, mas eu tenho certeza que a gente vai ganhar essa confiança, que é normal que volte, e que isso possa acontecer na quinta-feira – avaliou o arqueiro.

O São Paulo volta a campo na próxima quinta-feira, às 20h, para enfrentar o Atlético-MG, no Independência. A partida é válida pela 9ª rodada do Brasileirão-2019, a última antes de os campeonatos pararem para a Copa América.

نادٍ إنجليزي يسعى للتعاقد مع يوسف النصيري

كشفت تقارير صحفية إسبانية، أن يوسف النصيري مهاجم فريق كرة القدم الأول بنادي إشبيلية، مطلوب في الدوري الإنجليزي من وست هام يونايتد.

اللاعب المغربي، تألق وقاد فريقه للفوز ببطولة الدوري الأوروبي في الموسم الماضي، وكذلك منتخب بلده الذي حقق رابع كأس العالم قطر 2022.

صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، أفادت بأن وست هام لا يزال مصممًا على ضم اللاعب المغربي، وذلك بعد أن كان على رادارهم مرتين من قبل ولكن المفاوضات حينها لم تنجح.

الأن ديفيد مويس يعود مرة أخرى من أجل التعاقد مع يوسف النصيري لتدعيم الهجوم، مع مشاركة الهامرز في بطولة الدوري الأوروبي، ومحاولة تحقيق إنجاز الموسم الماضي بعد التتويج ببطولة دوري المؤتمرات.

الإدارة الرياضية في وست هام، ليسوا متأكدين من إنفاق أكثر من 30 مليون يورو، على مهاجم مثل النصيري، الذي دائمًا ما يتذبذب مستواه خاصة عندما سجل ضد مانشستر سيتي في السوبر الأوروبي، لكنه أهدر العديد من الفرص أمام المرمى، وتسجيله 18 هدفًا فقط خلال عام 2023.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك، فإن إشبيلية لن يتخلى عن النصيري بسهولة، إلا في حالة وصول عرض يتراوح بين 30 لـ 35 مليون يورو، خاصة بعد رحيل ياسين بونو حارس المرمى إلى نادي الهلال السعودي.

يمكن أن يدخل بابلو فورناليس ضمن الصفقة، خاصة وأن رغبة لاعب وست هام هي العودة إلى إسبانيا بعد 4 سنوات قضاها في لندن، لكن قيمته بالنسبة لـ إشبيلية لا تزيد عن 9 ملايين يورو.

Pathirana leads Colts CC to sixth straight win

A round-up of the seventh-round matches of the Premier Limited Overs tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Dec-2013Group A
Bottom-placed Badureliya Sports Club caused the upset of the round, chasing down Colombo Cricket Club’s 201 with four wickets to spare, at Colombo CC’s home ground. The victory comes in spite of a 114-ball 110 to Chamara Silva, who was the only Colombo CC batsman to cross 25. Colombo CC were reeling at 96 for 6 when Silva formed brief partnerships with each of the last four batsmen. Colombo CC were dismissed in the 48th over, when Thilan Thushara took Silva’s wicket. Badureliya’s four seam bowlers claimed eight wickets between them, with Wikum Sanjaya picking up the best figures of 3 for 39.Badureliya began firmly in response, as the openers put on 57 together, before Hashan Gunathilleke formed three more helpful partnerships, on his way to 63 from 95. The middle order shook off a brief waddle to finish the team’s first victory of the season, in the 46th over.Colts Cricket Club remained the only unbeaten team in the competition after six matches, as they demolished Sri Lanka Army Sports Club by 73 runs, to cement their position at the top of the Group A ladder. Sachith Pathirana had overseen Colts’ recovery, after they had slipped to 78 for 5, hitting an unbeaten 90 from 93 – much of which was in the company of the tail, who helped him see out Colts’ 50 overs. They made 226 for 8.SL Army began poorly, losing wicketkeeper-batsman Rishan Kavinga second ball, before fellow-opener and 41-year-old captain Lasie Thabrew collected his fifth failure in six matches. This is Thabrew’s first season in domestic cricket, and he has opened the bowling and batting for SL Army in all but one of their games. The remaining batsmen offered little sustained resistance, as Colts’ spinners made ground in the middle overs, and Army were all out in the 43rd over.Sri Lanka Air Force Sports Club also earned their first victory of the season, defeating Panadura Sports Club by 19 runs, at Panadura’s home ground. Having chosen to bat, SL Air Force fell to 123 for 8 in the 39th over, before recovering through nos. 9 and 10, Pishan Hewage and Sahan Jayawardene, who put on 65 together. SL Air Force ended up making 193, having lost three batsmen to run-outs in the innings.The same pair would prop up the bowling performance as left-arm seamer Jayawardene and offspinner Hewage took two wickets apiece to bring down Panadura for 174. Several Panadura batsman got starts in the middle order, but none could progress beyond the 30s. From 128 for 4, four wickets fell for 30 runs, and the tailenders could not match the batting output of Air Force’s lower-order men and Panadura were all out in the 46th over.

Hendricks stars again as SA A square series

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

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.

شخصية غامضة وتطورات جديدة في اتهام مانشستر سيتي بـ115 انتهاكًا ماليًا

كشفت تقارير صحفية تفاصيل جديدة تدين مانشستر سيتي، بعد أشهر من توجيه العديد من الاتهامات ضده من قِبل رابطة الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وكانت الرابطة قد وجهت اتهامًا لـ مانشستر سيتي، فيما يخص 115 انتهاكًا ماليًا، في وقت سابق من العام الحالي.

وذكرت صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية أن هناك وثائق مسربة من الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم تكشف تفاصيل جديدة بشأن إدانة مانشستر سيتي.

وأوضحت أنه تم اتهام مانشستر سيتي بقبول مبلغ قيمته 30 مليون جنيه إسترليني، من شخصية غامضة من الإمارات العربية المتحدة.

وأشارت إلى أن ذلك المبلغ دُفع على مرتين منفصلتين، في عامي 2012 و2013 بقيمة 15 مليون جنيه إسترليني في كل مرة.

واعتمدت ” ذا صن” في تقريرها على فيلم وثائقي على يوتيوب بعنوان “أكبر فضيحة كرة قدم في بريطانيا؟”، والذي يستشهد بتقرير عام 2020 من مجلس الرقابة المالية التابع ليويفا، والذي لم يتم نشره مطلقًا.

 ويُقال إن خبراء ماليين أوروبيين اتفقوا على أن المدفوعات (30 مليون جنيه إسترليني) كان من المفترض أن تكون من شركة اتصالات الإماراتية (الراعية لنادي مانشستر سيتي).

وبدلًا من ذلك، فإن هناك مزاعم بأن تلك المدفوعات تخص جهة ما غامضة تابعة لحسابات مالكي النادي، مجموعة أبو ظبي المتحدة، وهو ما يمثل انتهاك للقواعد المالية المتبعة.

وبعد استجواب من يويفا في ذلك الوقت، قيل إن الشخص الذي دفع ذلك المبلغ هو “جابر محمد”، ووصف أحد محامي مانشستر سيتي إياه بأنه “شخص يعمل في مجال تقديم الخدمات المالية والسمسرة للكيانات التجارية في الإمارات العربية المتحدة”.

ولكن مانشستر سيتي رفض تقديم ذلك الشخص (جابر محمد) كشاهد خلال التحقيقات التي أجرتها يويفا.

وأشار تقرير يوتيوب، الذي نشرته صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية إلى أن يويفا تساءل: “السؤال الواضح، الذي لم تتم الإجابة عليه، هو لماذا كان راعي مانشستر سيتي (اتصالات) في حاجة إلى أي مساعدة مالية من وسيط لدفع التزامات الرعاية؟!”.

وأصر مانشستر سيتي في ذلك الوقت على أن راعي مانشستر سيتي (اتصالات) دفع الأموال في عام 2015، وأكد اثنان من القضاة الثلاثة في اللجنة بأن الإدعاءات تظل غير مدعمة بأدلة.

وقضت محكمة التحكيم الرياضية أيضًا بأنه لا يمكن تبرير العديد من اتهامات الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم لأنها “محدودة الوقت” وتم تقديمها بعد فوات الأوان.

لكن قواعد الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز ليس لها قيود زمنية، مما يترك الباب مفتوحًا أمام مزيد من التدقيق.

ويواجه مانشستر سيتي 115 تهمة تتعلق بالتقارير المالية بين موسمي 2009-2010 و2017-18، بالإضافة إلى تهم عدم التعاون مع تحقيق الدوري على مدى خمس سنوات حتى الفترة الأخيرة.

ويُعتقد أن المدفوعات المزعومة، السالف ذكرها، مشمولة في الاتهامات الـ115 الموجهة ضد مانشستر سيتي.
