Australia’s team for the first Test was well prepared, well drilled, well motivated and well selected. So much so that not even a spiteful Galle pitch could upset its progress against opponents who were far less steady in their make-up and attitude. Michael Clarke rejoiced after a job well done in his first Test as full-time captain and selector, and saved special praise for Ryan Harris, who was playing his first international match since returning from an ankle fracture.The composition of the team had been in doubt until match eve, when Clarke announced that the childhood friends and bowlers, Trent Copeland and Nathan Lyon, would debut together. The state of the pitch had caused debate over the need for two spinners, but Copeland and Lyon were the ideal additions to a team that successfully strangled Sri Lanka’s batting after posting 273 on day one.”Definitely [it was satisfying to choose the right team]. Yes we could have picked two spinners but I guess we as selectors thought that we had the right group of eleven players to take the field for this Test match,” Clarke said. “I was confident that we could win the game with the eleven players.”I’m sure Kandy’s going to be a different surface now, with the way this game turned out, and we’ll reassess in Kandy. I think that’s important for us as a selection group, that we do pick what we feel is the best eleven for the conditions for that given game.”It’s very easy while you’re winning to stick with the same team but, as I said to all the boys in that changing room, what’s going to help us have success over a long period of time is a good group, a strong squad and that’s not just the 15 players here. That’s all the contracted players being on one page, going in the same direction.”At least one change is guaranteed, as Ricky Ponting leaves to be present for the birth of his second child. Shaun Marsh will be in line to debut at No. 6 while Usman Khawaja moves back up to No. 3. David Warner has been called up as the standby batsman. Warner’s rise as a potential Test player has been dramatic, but there are no greater stories of reinvention in the current side than that of Harris.Starting out as an injury-prone medium pacer with South Australia, Harris is now the most effective bowler in the Test team, offering pace, movement and a huge heart for hard work and the contest. In addition to his ankle, healed after a fracture during the Melbourne Ashes Test, Harris bowls on a wonky knee. Clarke hoped the joint would hold out for some time yet.”Hopefully to the end of my career,” Clarke said. “What a bowler. What a bloke. A great guy to have in your team. Will do anything for the team and at any stage, give him the new ball, give him the old ball, even into the breeze, he doesn’t care. He loves playing for Australia and we love having him around. He’s in pretty good hands I think. Alex [Kountouris], our physio, is a genius. He manages to keep a lot of us on the park daily so I’m really confident we can keep Rhino [Harris] around for a bit longer yet.”Australia’s victory was held up by Angeo Mathews and Mahela Jaywardene, but Clarke said he had been hanging out for the arrival of the second new ball to scythe through the rest.”I think today certainly, once the hardness went out of the ball, the wicket didn’t have as much oomph in it. It seemed pretty dead to be honest,” Clarke said. “Even the spin was slower spin off the wicket, wasn’t such sharp turn. I’d hate to say the toss did determine the game, but I know I wouldn’t have liked to be chasing, or for Sri Lanka to have 280 on the board at the end of day one after knowing what it was like to bat out there.”Cradling a 1-0 lead into Kandy, Clarke promised there would be no slackening in effort, saying his men had arrived in Sri Lanka with three victories, and not one, in mind. “We know we’ve got to be at our best, and there’s certainly areas of our game that need to improve from this match, but I think overall we played some really good positive cricket,” Clarke said. “The most important thing is we had our plans. We stuck to them through thick and thin.”We supported each other, whether that was in the field with the bowlers, our tail wagged with the bat, there’s so many things that we did really well throughout the Test match. No doubt we have to turn up for the next Test and be at our best again. We know it’s going to be tough to play here but we didn’t come here to win one Test match, we’ve come to win three Test matches.”

Alberto Valentim deixa o Botafogo para dirigir clube do Oriente Médio

MatériaMais Notícias

Alberto Valentim não será mais o treinador do Botafogo após a Copa do Mundo da Rússia. O técnico de 43 anos, que chegou ao clube em fevereiro e venceu o Estadual, aceitou oferta de um clube do Oriente Médio e já informou à diretoria a sua decisão. O elenco do Glorioso já está ciente da saída do comandante.

O próximo clube de Alberto Valentim ainda não foi revelado, mas os valores da oferta foram determinantes para que o profissional decidisse pela saída. Pelo lado do Botafogo, o pedido de demissão ainda não é oficializado pela diretoria.

Alberto Valentim assumiu o comando do Botafogo no dia 14 de fevereiro, após a demissão de Felipe Conceição, e encontrou um cenário de “terra arrasada” após a eliminação da equipe na primeira fase da Copa do Brasil, para o Aparecidense-GO, e derrota para o Flamengo na semifinal da Taça Guanabara.

O time deu a volta por cima e conquistou o Campeonato Estadual de forma épica, com Joel Carli marcando o gol do título sobre o Vasco nos acréscimos.

Foram 25 partidas à frente do Botafogo, com 11 vitórias, sete empates e sete derrotas. Antes do Glorioso, Alberto Valentim havia dirigido o Palmeiras, de forma interina no fim de 2017, e o Red Bull Brasil – no início do ano passado.

Plano do Botafogo é ter técnico até a reapresentação do elenco, na segunda

MatériaMais Notícias

A saída de Alberto Valentim não estava nos planos da diretoria do Botafogo, que agora corre contra o tempo para encontrar um novo comandante no mercado. A ideia é ter essa definição, no mais tardar, até segunda, quando o elenco se reapresenta após as férias durante o início do Mundial da Rússia.

A curta inter-temporada é tratada como fundamental para o bom desempenho do Botafogo na segunda parte do ano. Além da recuperação física dos atletas, ajustes táticos e técnicos podem ser feitos pelo futuro comandante da equipe.

Se não houver acerto, Bruno Lazaroni – auxiliar técnico permanente – fica no comando da equipe interinamente. Atualmente, o Botafogo ainda tem outro auxiliar técnico: Fernando Miranda, que chegou em General Severiano junto com Alberto Valentim, no mês de fevereiro, e não deve permanecer no clube.

No segundo semestre de 2018, o Botafogo terá as atenções voltadas para duas frentes. No Campeonato Brasileiro, o time ocupa o nono lugar com 17 pontos e almeja a classificação para a Libertadores do ano que vem. Na Sul-Americana, o Alvinegro enfrentará o Nacional-PAR, na segunda fase. Os confrontos serão nos dias 1º e 16 de agosto. O Glorioso decidirá a vaga no Estádio Nilton Santos.

Greg Lamb could make his Test debut against Pakistan•AFP

Zimbabwe have included allrounders Malcolm Waller and Greg Lamb in their 15-man squad for the lone Test against Pakistan which starts on Thursday. Injured medium-pacer Keegan Meth and allrounder Elton Chigumbura, who picked up a knee injury on match eve, are the only absentees from the squad which memorably beat Bangladesh earlier this month in Zimbabwe’s return to Tests after six years. Chamu Chibhabha was drafted into the side in place of Chigumbura.Lamb, 30, has played 14 one-dayers for Zimbabwe since his debut last year. He makes it to the Test pool after taking three wickets, including that of the experienced pair of Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan, in the tour match against the Pakistanis and following that up with a solid 40.Waller also had a decent outing against the Pakistanis, taking two tail-end wickets before making a brisk 32. He returned to the Zimbabwe set-up for the one-dayers against Bangladesh, after being sidelined for more than 20 months. He was also the fourth-highest run-getter last season in the Castle Logan Cup, Zimbabwe’s domestic first-class competition.Squad: Brendan Taylor (capt), Regis Chakabva, Chamu Chibhabha, Craig Ervine, Kyle Jarvis, Hamilton Masakadza, Tino Mawoyo, Chris Mpofu, Ray Price, Vusi Sibanda, Tatenda Taibu (wk), Prosper Utseya, Brian Vitori, Malcolm Waller, Greg Lamb

كلوب يستبعد ثنائي ليفربول من قائمة دوري أبطال أوروبا

قرر مدرب فريق ليفربول، يورجن كلوب، استبعاد لاعب خط الوسط آرثر ميلو من القائمة المشاركة في مراحل خروج المغلوب في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وتمتلك الأندية الحق في إجراء ثلاثة تغييرات قبل بداية مراحل خروج المغلوب في البطولات الأوروبية.

ويخوض ليفربول مباراة هذا الشهر ضد ريال مدريد، في إطار منافسات دور الـ16 من بطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا، موسم 2022/23.

وقرر كلوب إجراء تغيير على القائمة المشاركة حيث استبعد لاعب خط الوسط البرازيلي آرثر ميلو.

كان آرثر قد انضم إلى ليفربول قادمًا من يوفنتوس، الصيف الماضي على سبيل الإعارة لمدة موسم، ولكنه لم يشارك إلا لبضع دقائق ضد نابولي في أكتوبر الماضي حيث عانى من إصابة في الفخذ منذ ذلك الوقت، وخضع لعملية جراحية.

ورغم أنه من المتوقع أن يكون آرثر لائقًا في وقت لاحق من الشهر الحالي، إلا أنه لا يمثل جزءًا من خطط كلوب في ليفربول، وخاصة في دوري الأبطال.

كذلك قرر كلوب استبعاد اللاعب كالفين رامزي من قائمة ليفربول في مراحل خروج المغلوب من البطولة نفسها، حيث لم يشارك إلا في مباراتين فقط منذ انتقاله من أبردين في الصيف الماضي.

ولم يكن ليفربول في حاجة إلى استبعاد لاعب ثالث من قائمته في دوري الأبطال، بعدما أضاف لاعب خط الوسط الشاب ستيفان بايتيتش إلى قائمة الفريق ب، حيث كان في النادي لأكثر من عامين.

من جهة أخرى، أضاف كلوب الثنائي نابي كيتا وأليكس أوكسلايد تشامبرلين إلى قائمة الفريق في مراحل خروج المغلوب بعد غيابهما عن مرحلة المجموعات بسبب إصابات طويلة الأمد. قائمة ليفربول في مراحل خروج المغلوب بدوري أبطال أوروبا

Middlesex set sights on Gayle

Although the English winter is drawing in there is still plenty happening around the county circuit. During the off-season, ESPNcricinfo will keep you up to date with major developments, news and the odd quirky story

George Dobell20-Oct-2011Will Chris Gayle be adding Middlesex to his list of overseas teams?•Associated Press

Middlesex have eyes on GayleChris Gayle has been targeted by Middlesex as an overseas player ahead of the 2012 T20 season.”If you’re asking whether we would like Chris Gayle in our side then yes, of course we would,” said Middlesex’s director of cricket, Angus Fraser, “but whether we can afford him in another thing entirely.”In the past, however, Middlesex have benefited from a partnership with the MCC whereby the burden of playing the top overseas players’ wages has been shared between the two clubs. Adam Gilchrist was signed thanks to such a partnership.As things stand, however, Middlesex are likely to play only three of their five home games at Lord’s with international commitments and the Olympics limiting the ground’s availability. The club may even need to persuade the ECB to allow them to stage their first game a couple of weeks before the formal launch of next year’s event.Middlesex have already strengthened their top-order batting with the signing of Joe Denly from Kent. Fraser confirmed, however, that Andrew Strauss will not play any Twenty20 cricket in future.High-profile candidates for MCC roleSteve Elworthy, currently director of marketing and communications at the ECB, and Dave Richardson, currently the general manager of cricket at the ICC, are understood to be among the short-listed candidates for the vacant role of chief executive of the MCC. The previous CEO, Keith Bradshaw, resigned recently in order to spend more time with his family in Australia.Shanker for IPL?You might have thought we’d heard the last of Adrian Shankar. After the debacle of his brief stint at Worcestershire, most people would have slunk away and got on with their life far away from the world of cricket.But not our Adrian. He’s nothing if not determined. It now seems that Shankar has turned his attention to the IPL and has, somehow, aroused the interest of Rajasthan Royals.As a result, Royals management have made enquiries to players in England to learn more about Shankar’s background. The question they asked was: is Shankar a fantastic, untapped talent who has somehow escaped the notice of all English scouts; or is he just an audacious blagger?You can probably guess the answer they received.Moeen Ali’s England chanceIt might have been presumed that the likes of Monty Panesar, Samit Patel and Scott Borthwick were the men jostling for the second spinner spot in the England squad to the UAE (in January-February) and Sri Lanka (March-April).But Moeen Ali is also in contention. The 24-year-old Worcestershire allrounder took more wickets than any other off-spinner in Division One of the Championship in the 2011 season (albeit a modest 18 at 51 apiece) and also scored 930 runs at an average of 33.That allround ability subsequently won Moeen a place in England’s potential performance squad and, along with a few of the other batsmen and spinners in that squad, he will remain in Sri Lanka after the three-week training camp in Colombo. The players will be allocated first-class teams and benefit from playing for another seven weeks in Sri Lankan domestic cricket.The inference is that a role in the Test side – probably batting at six and fulfilling the role of second spinner – is just about within Moeen’s grasp. While there are several players ahead of him in the queue at present, most have question-marks against them; Panesar, for instance, has few pretensions as a batsman or a fielder, while Patel’s fitness remains an issue.Whatever happens, if England do need to call upon Moeen in Sri Lanka, it will surely prove beneficial that he has experience of the conditions. It’s another example of the planning and attention to detail that has characterised the England management in recent years.Financial issues for WarwickshireWarwickshire have left several clubs disgruntled by their approaches for players in recent seasons, but the boot could soon be on the other foot.The failure to land an Ashes Test in 2013 will have a large impact on the finances at Edgbaston and is likely to make recruiting – and retaining – top players increasingly difficult.In the short-term, it has done little to help them secure the signing of James Taylor. Taylor is also wanted by Nottinghamshire, who won the right to host Ashes Tests in 2013 and 2015 and, as a consequence, have the certainly of a high income for the foreseeable future.In the longer-term, attention will focus on retaining Warwickshire’s best players. Chris Woakes, for example, is out of contract at the end of the 2012 season and is certain to attract interest from a number of other counties. As a quality allrounder who might not quite make the Test team, Woakes might even be considered one of the most valuable players in the entire county game. If Warwickshire are going to keep him, they’re going to need to fund the mother of all pay rises.Kartik set for Oval moveSurrey are close to securing the singing of Murali Kartik, the left-arm spinner, as an overseas player for the 2012 season. He has previously enjoyed spells at Lancashire, Middlesex and Somerset. While it is understood that Surrey’s salary bill remains the largest in the county game, the club have not breached the salary cap of £1.8m.

Vasco chega ao quinto dia de treinos e mira em elenco completo em julho

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco chega nesta sexta-feira ao quinto dia de treinamentos durante esta paralisação do Campeonato Brasileiro por conta da Copa do Mundo da Rússia. Um dos maiores desafios até o dia 16 de julho, quando retornam os jogos com a volta das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil diante do Bahia, é a de o técnico Jorginho ter todo o elenco à disposição. E é neste caminho que a comissão técnica e o departamento médico vem trabalhando no planejamento do trabalho implantado nesta semana no CT das Vargens, em Vargem Pequena, Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro.

Somente três jogadores estão ausentes no momento, e sem prazo definido para voltar: o goleiro Martin Silva, que está servindo o Uruguai no Mundial, o atacante Rildo, que passou em maio por cirurgia no ombro esquerdo e não deve mais jogar em 2018, além do volante Marcelo Mattos, que desde 2016 se recupera de lesões e ainda não conseguiu voltar a campo. Os demais jogadores que estavam em recuperação antes da parada da Copa do Mundo – como Rafael Galhardo, Breno, Bruno Silva, Thiago Galhardo, Wagner e Kelvin – são os quem a comissão mira para o retorno durante este período sem jogos.

– Nossa ideia é que esses atletas que estavam fora estejam aptos para o primeiro jogo após o retorno do recesso, pois entraremos em campo precisando vencer por uma diferença de três gols. São jogadores de suma importância, o Jorginho conta com eles para essa partida. Já foram liberados pelo departamento médico, mas estão sendo monitorados nos treinamentos em virtude do tempo inativo. Dando tudo certo, fazendo um trabalho de qualidade, acredito que estarão em plenas condições de serem inseridos no contexto do jogo – afirmou Joelton Urtiga, preparador físico do Vasco antes de completar:

– Esse período é fundamental para nós, principalmente por termos tempo de realizar as avaliações e preparar o time da melhor maneira para a sequência da temporada. Até o momento, além da parte neuromuscular, fizemos avaliações de potência e força. Identificamos se os atletas possuem algum tipo de problema com a mobilidade muscular. Os resultados estão sendo satisfatórios e nos deram parâmetros para monitorar a carga de trabalho e organizar a sessão de treinamentos com o Jorginho, de uma forma que minimize o número de lesões e contribua para o crescimento físico de todo o grupo.

Todo este trabalho neste período sem jogos está sendo valorizado também pelo elenco do Vasco. O meia Wagner, de 33 anos, um dos jogadores mais experientes do grupo cruz-maltino, destacou que o ideal para os jogadores de futebol era o de todo mês de junho possuir uma parada de ao menos sete dias, visando a um maior descanso dos atletas diante de um calendário apertado no futebol brasileiro. Ele aproveitou ainda para citar a intensidade do trabalho que vem sendo promovido pelo técnico Jorginho junto aos jogadores chegando nesta sexta-feira ao quinto dia.

– Por mim, a parada poderia acontecer durante todos anos, pelo menos durante sete dias no mês de junho. O desgaste é muito grande, com jogos quarta e domingo. Em ano de Copa do Mundo, o calendário se torna ainda mais encurtado na questão de descanso e acabamos precisando jogar a cada dois ou três dias, sem contar nas viagens. Deu para dar uma zerada e tirar todo mundo do departamento médico. O Jorginho está tendo que dividir o grupo três por estar todo mundo à disposição. Isso vai causar uma dor de cabeça boa e que todo treinador quer para montar o time. Vamos retornar mais fortes – disse para completar:

– O Jorginho está fazendo um pouquinho de cada. Está pegando aquilo que a gente tinha de bom e ajustando uma ou outra coisinha que estávamos errando e ele acha que pode ser feita de forma difente. Ele tem ouvido e perguntando muito o que achamos antes de tomar qualquer atitude. Isso é muito bom, ainda mais vindo de um cara que foi campeão de mundo. Os treinos são focados mais na nossa pegada e e exigem nossa atenção. Precisamos ser mais agressivos, no bom sentido, e não deixarmos o adversário pensar tanto, encurtar os espaços o quanto antes.

Vale lembrar a programação do Vasco durante a paralisação do Campeonato Brasileiro por conta da Copa do Mundo da Rússia: os primeiros 11 dias foram de férias para os jogadores, que se reapresentaram na última segunda-feira no CT das Vargens. As atividades na capital fluminense seguem até domingo, quando a delegação viaja para Pinheiral, cidade no sul do Rio de Janeiro, onde ficará por uma semana em regime de concentração total no planejamento para o segundo semestre. A preparação após esta data voltará ao CT das Vargens. Em diversos dias treinos em período integral serão realizados – nesta semana, inclusive, já ocorreram em duas oportunidades.

Executivo do Vasco explica conversas por Álvarez e comemora López

MatériaMais Notícias

Após ter confirmado o atacante argentino Maxi López no último sábado, o Vasco segue no mercado de olho em outros reforços para o setor visando um melhor semestre. O próximo nome na mira cruz-maltina é Gilbert Álvarez, boliviano de 26 anos que defende as cores do Jorge Wilstermann, da Bolívia. O clube de São Januário vem conversando com o atleta, mas aguarda a liberação do presidente da equipe boliviana para avançar nas tratativas – por conta da política de austeridade financeira, é o único meio para o Vasco fazer contratações.

– Estamos sempre atentos ao mercado e possíveis fortalecimentos ao grupo de jogadores. O Gilbert Álvarez é um jogador que estamos negociando, tem bons números, mas o presidente do Jorge Wilstermann está dificultando a negociação. E está no direito dele, tem números muito interessantes. Não vamos fugir da nossa austeridade financeira. Podemos evoluir, mas se ele seguir dificultando, vamos encerrar a negociação – explicou Alexandre Faria, diretor executivo de futebol do Vasco, em coletiva após o treino deste domingo em São Januário.

A negociação do Vasco por Maxi López também foi explicada pelo Vasco neste domingo. Diferentemente do boliviano, o argentino estava livre e já fechou com o clube um contrato até o fim de 2019. La Barbie, como é conhecido, desembarca no Rio de Janeiro nesta segunda-feira para realizar os exames médicos e assinar o contrato. Existe a expectativa de o atleta ser apresentado aos torcedores antes de a bola rolar para a partida diante do Bahia, pela noite, em São Januário, na volta das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil.

– Em relação ao Maxi López, conseguimos avançar de uma forma até rápida, de acordo com a concorrência que tínhamos. Tudo o que apresentamos do Vasco foi o suficiente para seduzí-lo. Desde a primeira conversa que tivemos, ele deixou nítido que queria vir. Quando fechamos a contratação, isso ficou ainda mais claro, porque os números não fogem nem um pouco da austeridade financeira proposta pela diretoria. Estou bem feliz e espero que o torcedor também – finalizou o dirigente cruz-maltino.
