No Piauí… Flamengo está em crise, e River leva vantagem no clássico

MatériaMais Notícias

Sem dúvidas, muita gente vai ficar de olho no confronto entre Flamengo e River Plate pela final da Copa Libertadores, no dia 23 de novembro, quando sairá o campeão da América. No entanto, outro duelo parece parar o Piauí há mais de 70 anos: Esporte Clube Flamengo e River Atlético Clube, o famoso clássico Rivengo. Apesar da inspiração dos homônimos, os clubes piauienses vivem situações completamente distintas.

O LANCE! bateu um papo com o jornalista Fábio Lima, da Rádio Cidade Verde, de Teresina, e afirmou que o Flamengo vive um verdadeiro drama, enquanto o River ainda pode viver mais tranquilo. A última participação do Rubro-negro em uma competição fora do Estado aconteceu em 2015.

– O Flamengo vive um drama. A sede do clube foi vendida em uma transação mal explicada e virou um supermercado. Torcedores ainda cobram dirigentes quanto a isso. Além disso, não tem campo fixo para treinar. O River, por sua vez, vai disputar Copa do Nordeste, Copa do Brasil, Série D e o Campeonato Piauiense. Flamengo só joga o campeonato estadual profissional e os estaduais de base – em algumas situações, meio que na marra – disse.

– Na década passada, o River vendeu sua sede em área nobre da zona Leste de Teresina e comprou um clube em região mais afastada, na zona Sul. Hoje, está construindo um terceiro campo de futebol e conta com piscina, ginásio e alojamento para atletas na própria sede – complementou.

O jornalista também comentou sobre a folha salarial dos clubes. O Flamengo está em situação delicada, enquanto o River ainda busca melhorar seu orçamento anual.

– Não há clube no Piauí que revele o custo do elenco, mas estima-se que o River fique em até R$ 200 mil. O Flamengo não passa de R$ 100 mil e olhe lá.

Para fechar, Fabio comentou que o clima na cidade é de piada por conta da coincidência da final da Libertadores. Porém, o sub-20 do Galo aproveitou a situação.

– O clima aqui é de piada mesmo. Mas o River sub-20 aproveitou o momento para marcar um amistoso com o Flamengo no CT do Galo – disse.

Segundo apuração do LANCE!, o clube Rubro-Negro deve investir para próxima temporada R$ 250 mil, porém ainda não tem atletas profissionais. Além disso, o clube terá que ir aos tribunais por conta de processos trabalhistas e da venda do patrimônio do clube.

A presidência do clube não passa por regularidade. Nos últimos quatro anos, os rubro-negros tiveram três presidentes: Tiago Vasconcelos (2015 a 2018), Everaldo Cunha (final de 2018 e início de 2019) e Rubens Gomes (reta final 2019)

DENTRO DE CAMPO

Entre os gigantes Flamengo e River Plate, foram 12 partidas entre os clubes, quatro vitórias para os brasileiros, cinco para os argentinos e três empates. Foram apenas dois empates sem gols e as vitórias que mais se repetiram foram por um gol de diferença.

No Piauí, a situação do clássico é bem diferente. São 360 jogos, com 136 vitórias do River, 115 para o Flamengo e 109 empates. Juntando todos os jogos, foram 872 gols, sendo 467 gols para o River e 405 favoráveis ao Rubro-Negro.

O Flamengo-PI, que foi fundado em 1937, foi totalmente inspirado no rubro-negro carioca, com as mesmas cores, uniformes e apenas o nome do Estado acrescido ao escudo. Já o River-PI, em 1946, aderiu à faixa transversal na camisa semelhante ao clube argentino. Sendo fundado na mesma região, o “Rivengo” se tornou a maior rivalidade no local.

É o maior clássico do Piauí. Em 1970, o “Rivengo” chegou a levar 100 mil pessoas em três jogos, contudo, hoje não passa dos 2.000 nos estádios. Isto, ocorre por causa da situação financeira dos clubes.

No momento, os times vão se preparando para o Campeonato Piauiense, que vai começar em janeiro. E os poderosos, Flamengo e River Plate esperam levantar a tão sonhada Copa Libertadores da América.

Santos e Sampaoli buscam retomada de filosofia e processo contra o CSA

MatériaMais Notícias

Após quatro jogos sem vencer no Campeonato Brasileiro, o técnico Jorge Sampaoli busca a retomada do processo e da filosofia do Santos contra o CSA, neste domingo, às 16h, na Vila Belmiro, pela 22ª rodada da competição nacional.

O Santos teve somente dois dias de treinamentos após o empate com o Fluminense, em 0 a 0. Sampaoli preferiu conversar menos e treinar mais, priorizando os fundamentos de ataque como finalização.

O Peixe criou 18 oportunidades no duelos contra o Fluminense e Grêmio, mas levou perigo ao gol adversário menos de 10 vezes. O atacante Soteldo foi o único sortudo e marcou o tento solitário do Santos diante do Tricolor carioca.

Na chegada a Santos, na última sexta-feira, Sampaoli conversou com o elenco santista tranquilamente, pois, segundo ele, não há brigas no vestiário. O argentino também acredita que não faz sentido destruir sua filosofia no Peixe depois de nove meses.

Australia run out of time, but win series

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details4:11

Agarkar: India too dependent on Kohli, Rahane

Australia did not need to win, and India never really thought seriously about doing so. A curiously muted final day of the Boxing Day Test petered out with four overs still to bowl; on recent evidence more than enough time to winkle out the visitors’ last four wickets.A draw was enough for Australia to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy under the stand-in captaincy of Steven Smith, and also enough for MS Dhoni’s India to avoid a series whitewash. So hands were shaken, backs slapped and stumps drawn. Despite the odd moment of rancour – Virat Kohli versus Brad Haddin – or transcendence – Mitchell Johnson’s ripping cutter to bowl Cheteshwar Pujara – this always seemed the most likely result.It was a revealing day for Smith, showing that in his second Test as leader he was unprepared to risk a 2-0 series lead over opponents who had chased boldly and capably until tripping up within sight of the finishing post in Adelaide. In this, Smith showed a level of pragmatism more in common with another former captain who bowled leg spin in Richie Benaud, as opposed to the greater gambling instinct of Michael Clarke and his mentor Shane Warne.Right from the start of the day, Smith had appeared intent on making sure India would not be presented with too amenable a target on what always remained a friendly batting surface. India’s captain MS Dhoni seemed to be hoping just as much for a closure early in the morning session, affording his batsmen the chance to pursue a target in the region of 350.But the hosts pushed on, Shaun Marsh advancing to the cusp of a third Test century when he chanced a quick single to mid-off and was thrown out by Virat Kohli’s direct hit. When the innings was closed with Australia’s last pair of Nathan Lyon and Josh Hazlewood at the crease, it was the coach Darren Lehmann, not Smith, who waved them in.Ryan Harris struck the first blow for Australia, getting Shikhar Dhawan for a duck•Getty Images

Still, 70 overs was a not completely insubstantial amount of time. Ryan Harris struck with his second ball, finding late swing to pin Shikhar Dhawan in front of the stumps.KL Rahul was unexpectedly promoted to No. 3, but completed an unhappy match when he hooked convulsively at Mitchell Johnson and was held by Shane Watson, jogging back from first slip. M Vijay fell to the first-change Josh Hazlewood soon after, struck in line though the ball appeared likely to be sliding past leg stump.Kohli had made only four when he was almost run out – David Warner’s excellent diving save devalued somewhat by a throw not accurate enough to strand Kohli as Haddin ran in to collect. The first verbal confrontation between Kohli and Haddin caused India’s No. 4 to complain to the umpires, while Haddin goaded him with a series of exaggerated handclaps.Not quite as fluent as they had been in the first innings, Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane were helped by the ball losing some of its earlier hardness. Each had close calls, Harris raising an lbw query against Kohli and a fiercely struck Rahane cut shot bursting through the fingers of Chris Rogers at backward point.India managed to reach tea without further loss, but that achievement was made moot when Kohli flicked a little too hastily at Harris’ first ball of the evening session and arrowed it straight to Joe Burns at square leg. Pujara had been dropped down the order as something of a safety blanket, and his 95-ball union with Rahane was enough to dim Australian hopes.Johnson had to conjure the ball of the Test to find a way past Pujara, his fast offbreak the stuff of Derek Underwood’s wildest dreams, but there was not the same purchase for Lyon, and the other pacemen lost penetration as the day wore on. Rahane’s mistimed pull shot to square leg left a narrow window open, but R Ashwin and Dhoni looked secure enough to leave Smith thinking he had run out of time four overs before he actually did so.An enjoyable and well-attended match had thus faded away. The series is Australia’s, not in the sort of circumstances that prompt wild celebrations, but more the sober handshakes in recognition of a job completed.

Números confirmam tese de Tite sobre Bruno Henrique

MatériaMais Notícias

“Bruno Henrique vem se destacando no Flamengo, faz gol e assistência, uma série de componentes que nos facilitam”. Com essa declaração Tite justificou a convocação, realizada nesta sexta-feira, do atacante do Flamengo para os amistosos contra Peru e Colômbia. E os números confirmam a teoria do treinador: no Brasil, nenhum dos principais artilheiros do país deu tantos passes para gol quanto o rubro-negro.

Autor de 15 gols em 35 jogos na temporada, Bruno é o 4º maior goleador do ano no país, ficando atrás apenas de Gabigol, seu companheiro de ataque, Gilberto, do Bahia, e Fred, do Cruzeiro. Nenhum deles, no entanto, deu tantas assistências quanto o camisa 27 da Gávea. Foram 10 passes do novo convocado de Tite, contra cinco de cada um do trio.

Entre os top 10 dos artilheiros do ano, quem mais se aproxima de Bruno Henrique na verdade é um colombiano. Yony González, do Fluminense, tem os mesmos 15 tentos, só que com três assistências a menos e dois jogos a mais. Na Série A, somando todos os números de 2019, o único com mais passes para gol é Dudu, com 11. O palmeirense, porém, tem apenas oito gols marcados.

Podendo jogar tanto pelos lados quanto centralizado, como um centroavante, Bruno Henrique é hoje o atacante do futebol brasileiro mais equilibrado, em volume e eficiência, entre criação e conclusão.

Different goals for mismatched sides

Zimbabwe will remain hopeful that if all three of their departments click better than they have in recent times, they can cause upsets against Australia and South Africa in the forthcoming tri-series

The Preview by Firdose Moonda24-Aug-2014Match factsMonday, August 25, 2014
Start time 0930 local (0730GMT)Michael Clarke underwent a fitness test on his hamstring before being ruled out of the first match•AFP

Big pictureAfter a week of playing a fourth-ranked ODI team that has subsequently been bumped up to third, what is the last thing the bottom-ranked side (at least as far as Full Members are concerned) want to do? Play the No.1s. But Zimbabwe know that international cricket is more about what they have to do rather than what they want to, and taking on both Australia and South Africa is what they will spend the next four matches doing.At least it will bring to 11 the number of ODIs they would have played in six weeks – a significant number to have a proper idea of where they stand as their preparations continue for next year’s World Cup. The harsh reality is that Zimbabwe may not like where that is unless their fortune changes in this series.Not only did they squander a series lead to share spoils with an Associate member – Afghanistan – but they were also thoroughly worked over by South Africa. For now, they do not show any signs of forcing their way into the final of the upcoming tri-series. They will remain hopeful that if all three of their departments click and click better than they have in recent times, they can cause upsets but will likely have to set mini targets, such as reaching scores over 250 or bowling sides out, as goals for the series.Australia will not play any similar games within games. Michael Clarke is after a trophy – despite being ruled out of the first game with injury* – and he is unlikely to allow matters to meander in the way South Africa sometimes do. Australia have not played ODIs since their January series against England, but one can expect ruthlessness and aggression from them, even though some of it may be cleverly disguised as experimentation. From the No.1 ranked side in the world, there can be nothing less.Form guideZimbabwe LLLLL (last five completed games, most recent first)
Australia WLWWWIn the spotlightA whitewash at the hands of South Africa was not entirely unexpected but the progressive regression of the Zimbabwe players will put the focus on their coach Stephen Mangongo to see how he handles their recovery. Mangongo was one of the driving forces behind the players being swapped around against South Africa, so much so, that Zimbabwe’s top-order has become unpredictable and unstable and the team lop-sided. The lower-order contributes more runs but lacks wicket-taking bite when it’s needed most. How Mangongo strategises around this will be key for Zimbabwe over the next two weeks.Mitchell Marsh has shown great potential ever since captaining Australia to the Under-19 World Cup title in 2009-10 but his opportunities in national colours have so far been limited. He will add to his tally of four ODIs during this series and with Shane Watson injured, it provides a terrific chance for Marsh to audition for a more long-term all-round role. He enters the series with some encouraging form behind him, including 211 in a first-class match against India A last month followed by 11 wickets at 20.00 in the quadrangular one-day tournament that followed.Team newsZimbabwe have named a 22-man squad for the series and it includes Brendan Taylor, who is expected to return to the No. 4 position after being dramatically dropped for the final ODI against South Africa last week. Sikandar Raza may return to open with Richmond Mutumbami with Hamilton Masakadza coming in at No.3. Test seamer Tinashe Panyangara made his return against South Africa after being rested following his Test workload and could be joined by Tendai Chatara which will leave Zimbabwe with a question over who to use as a lower-order allrounder. Teenager Luke Jongwe is one option, Shingi Masakadza is another. They may also bench Prosper Utseya as he awaits testing over his action and give legspinner Tafadzwa Kamungozi another chance.Zimbabwe: (probable) 1 Sikandar Raza, 2 Richmond Mutumbami (wk), 3 Hamilton Masakadza, 4 Brendan Taylor, 5 Sean Williams, 6 Elton Chigumbura (capt), 7 Luke Jongwe/Shingi Masakadza 8 Prosper Utseya/Tafadzwa Kamungozi, 9 John Nyumbu, 10 Tendai Chatara,11 Tinashe PanyangaraWith David Warner out of the series on paternity leave and Clarke unable to overcome a hamstring problem, Phillip Hughes would have hoped for an opportunity to translate his A-team form into success on the international stage. However, he found himself named 12th man when Australia announced their team in advance*, with Darren Lehmann saying they had “opted to go with the spin option of Nathan Lyon along with the extra allrounder to add further depth to our batting”. Quite how they will line up, with only one genuine opener in Aaron Finch and Mitchell Marsh coming in to an experimental middle order, remains to be seen.Australia: 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 George Bailey (capt), 4 Steven Smith, 5 Glenn Maxwell, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 James Faulkner, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Kane Richardson, 10 Mitchell Starc, 11 Nathan Lyon.Pitch and conditionsThe action moves back to Harare Sports Club which has had almost two weeks rest after the Test between Zimbabwe and South Africa earlier in the month. The surfaces can be expected to be a little more lively than Bulawayo’s slow and sometimes turning strips, with a bit of juice for the quicks in the morning. Hot sunshine should flatten the pitch out later in the day when runs will be plentiful. Zimbabwe has leapfrogged spring and stepped straight into summer with temperatures approaching 30 degrees.Stats and triviaZimbabwe have only defeated Australia once in the 28 ODIs they have played against them. That was in their first match at the World Cup in June 1983 when Zimbabwe won a tense affair by 13 runs as Duncan Fletcher bowled them to a historic win. The last time these two teams met each other was at the 2011 World Cup. Before that, they had not played an ODI against each other since 2004. Brad Haddin made his ODI debut against Zimbabwe in 2001, before any of the current Zimbabwe squad were playing international cricket. Quotes”It doesn’t intimidate me. Coaching does not intimidate me at all. Records are meant to be broken. It’s a new game, it’s a new day, it’s a new chapter. It’s XI versus XI and you have to respect your opposition.”

“Michael had a fitness test at training today and unfortunately hasn’t come through that well enough to be available for selection in game one. He will continue intensive treatment on his hamstring and we’ll monitor his progress ahead of game two on Wednesday.”

Holding in talks with Baroda for bowling role

Michael Holding, the former West Indies fast bowler, has said that he is in talks with Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) for the role of bowling consultant

Nagraj Gollapudi08-Jun-2014Michael Holding, the former West Indies fast bowler, has said that he is in talks with Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) for the role of bowling consultant. Holding received the offer in April this year from former India batsman and coach Anshuman Gaekwad, who is the secretary of the BCA cricket committee.”I was asked by Anshuman if I could come and do some coaching in Baroda over an extended period,” Holding told ESPNcricnfo. “I couldn’t do the stretch that they wanted because of my already committed obligations. I have told them when I would be available and for what period of time so I am now waiting to hear back from them if it’s acceptable.”As soon as Gaekwad became the secretary at the BCA, he wanted to get a reputed former international. He recommended the name of Holding, who he knew from his own playing days, to the BCA’s cricket improvement committee. BCA’s plan was to get Holding over for a maximum of ten weeks spread across the year, Gaekwad said.Gaekwad contacted Holding early April when the Jamaican was in Miami. Holding, who is contracted with various television broadcasters around the world, wanted to check his schedule about when he could spare some time.”He wrote back saying he would be free for about six weeks only in April and May and one or two weeks later in the year around October – November which clashes with the domestic season,” Gaekwad said. “His availability is little too less but it would be still worth having him.”It would be a big bonus to have him here working with our youngsters. With his guidance it would go a long way for our bowlers,” he said.Gaekwad said he was very positive about signing up Holding and the deal was likely to be formalised “at the earliest” by the BCA.Home to bowlers such as Munaf Patel and Irfan Pathan, Baroda have struggled in the pace department in the recent years. In the 2013-14 season, the team finished fourth in Group B and failed to qualify for the Ranji Trophy knockouts in the 2013-14 season.

Shaken teams search for form

Neither Bangladesh nor West Indies are at the top of their game coming into Tuesday’s encounter

The Preview by Siddarth Ravindran24-Mar-2014Match factsTuesday, March 25, 2014
Start time 1930 local (1330 GMT)Big PictureWest Indies will hope Dwayne Smith can provide the thrust at the start of the innings•WICB MediaTwo teams who aren’t at the top of their game come together in Tuesday’s clash. Bangladesh, the hosts, have had a forgettable 2014 so far, with lacklustre showings in the home series against Sri Lanka and the Asia Cup which were capped by a defeat to Hong Kong in the first phase of the World T20. West Indies, the defending champions, have lost seven of their previous ten T20s, including their opening game in the World T20, where they went down meekly to India.After the lukewarm start in the loss against India, talk about West Indies’ ability to take singles again got plenty of airtime ahead of the Bangladesh game. Whether it is through singles and twos or through big hits, West Indies need a victory over Bangladesh, as their remaining games in a tough group are against Australia, who are rated among the tournament favourites, and a formidable Pakistan outfit. Defeat to Bangladesh won’t eliminate West Indies, but it is likely to mean that their chances of making the semi-finals are not in their hands, leaving them needing to win their remaining matches besides hoping other results go their way.Bangladesh, despite their defeat to Hong Kong, have achieved their first goal: of reaching the Super 10s and thus avoiding the ignominy of having to watch a party in their backyard from the sidelines. They are positioning themselves as spoilers in a group of heavyweights, and can be tricky opponents, especially at home if the track suits their array of spinners.Form guide (last five matches, most recent first)

Bangladesh: LWWLL
West Indies: LLWWW
In the spotlightAs someone who strikes at around 130 in T20s, Dwayne Smith will want to make amends for his torturous 29-ball 11 against India that robbed West Indies of any momentum at the start of the innings. With Chris Gayle expected to stick to his method of biding his time early on, Smith is entrusted with the task of providing the opening fireworks. Bangladesh’s new-ball bowlers have a challenge on their hands.Chris Gayle had recently jokingly remarked that he had made Sohag Gazi famous by hitting him for six off the first ball of a Test. That was when West Indies last toured Bangladesh in 2012, but even on that tour Gayle didn’t exactly dominate – Gazi dismissed him three times in Tests and ODIs. The rivalry is set to resume on Tuesday, when Gazi is expected to be picked as a replacement for Farhad RezaTeams newsWest Indies coach Ottis Gibson has said they have to still take a decision on their quick bowling line-up: whether to bring in either the experienced Ravi Rampaul or the pacy Sheldon Cottrell in place of Krishmar Santokie. He wanted to take a close look at the conditions in Mirpur before taking a call.West Indies (probable): 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Dwayne Smith, 3 Marlon Samuels, 4 Lendl Simmons, 5 Dwayne Bravo, 6 Darren Sammy (capt), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Ravi Rampaul/Krishmar Santokie, 11 Samuel Badree
Bangladesh are expected to make several changes to the side that went down to Hong Kong. With Rubel Hossain injured, Ziaur Rahman is likely to get a game while offspinner Sohag Gazi is set to replace the expensive Farhad Reza. They could also bring in Shamsur Rahman for Sabbir Rahman.Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Anamul Haque, 3 Shamsur Rahman, 4 Shakib Al Hasan, 5 Mushfiqur Rahim (capt & wk), 6 Nasir Hossain, 7 Mahmudullah, 8 Ziaur Rahman, 9 Sohag Gazi, 10 Abdur Razzak, 11 Al-Amin Hossain
Stats and trivia West Indies are the only top-eight team that Bangladesh have beaten in Twenty20s. Andre Russell’s economy-rate of 9.60 is the second worst among all those who have bowled more than 30 overs in T20Is. Only New Zealand’s Doug Bracewell (9.61) has a worse economy rate. With 42 wickets, Shakib Al Hasan is the joint highest wicket-taker, along with Abdur Razzak, in T20Is for Bangladesh. He is also 12 runs short of surpassing Tamim Iqbal as the highest run-getter in T20Is for BangladeshQuotes”It is hard to predict against West Indies. If they play well, we are finished. If it is not their day, then we have a chance to do well.”

“People will make assumptions based on what happened last night. India bowled well. We didn’t get singles but we don’t normally get singles. That’s the way it goes sometimes.”

Watson lifts Australia with elusive ton

Shane Watson took the highest score of his Test career off a reshaped and none-too-convincing England attack as Australia reached 307 for 4 at the close of day one

The Report by David Hopps21-Aug-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsShane Watson, back up the order at No. 3, made his highest score in 46 Tests•AFP

For Australia, the series is lost, the intensity is not what it was and expectations could not be much lower. Shane Watson’s bountiful form has come far too late to challenge the outcome of the series, but there was no denying the gentle brutality of his strokeplay as he took the highest score of his Test career off a reshaped and none-too-convincing England attack in the final Test at The Oval.Watson’s move to No. 3 had not delighted all observers but, at the end of a series in which Australia’s pick-and-mix batting order has left them 3-0 down, he produced the most domineering top-order batting of the summer. There were no devils in the situation or in a depressingly slow Oval pitch and Watson responded to an unpressurised situation by registering only his third hundred in 46 Tests in a manner which simultaneously stated his ability and questioned his record.When he even reviewed successfully after being adjudged lbw to Chris Woakes on 166 eight overs from the close, it looked as if he was fated to survive into the second morning. Woakes thought he had achieved his first Test wicket when he defeated Watson’s pull shot but the decision of umpire Kumar Dharmasena was reversed when replays showed the ball was too high.But Stuart Broad, who had felled Watson with a well-directed short ball on 91 and bowled defiantly throughout, removed him three overs before the close. Watson’s full-blooded pull at Broad was expertly intercepted by a diving Kevin Pietersen at deep backward square, moved there from long leg by his captain, Alastair Cook, a few minutes before.Watson never quite discovered the same mastery after Broad struck him behind the ear, a sickening blow which brought him to his knees for a prolonged period and caused brief alarm – and left him munching pain-killing tablets – but he summoned the resolution that has not always been a feature of his Test career.It was his pre-lunch assault that set the tone. England fielded two Ashes debutants in Woakes and Simon Kerrigan and Watson feasted upon their vulnerability, amassing 80 from 77 balls by lunch as between them as the new pair leaked 58 runs in seven overs.If Woakes’ contribution was just about adequate, Kerrigan, the Lancashire left-arm spinner called up after Monty Panesar became persona non grata, had a humbling experience. As his confidence deserted him and full tosses vied for attention with a liberal supply of long hops, the tacit invitation to Panesar to find the sort of late-season form to regain his place as England’s back-up spinner could not have been clearer.Kerrigan had been treated dismissively by Watson in the Lions match against Northamptonshire last week and, as he won his first Test cap in his 50th first-class match, nothing had changed. He conceded 28 in his first two overs with Watson helping himself to six boundaries. The first four ball, a low full toss, revealed his uncertainty and he repeatedly dropped short in his second over as Watson overawed him.If the assault subsided, anxiety never left him. He returned for two distinctly nervy overs before tea, his faltering belief exaggerating an unanimated approach to the crease, and although he improved a little after the interval, his lack of conviction was such that every dot ball became a building brick in a desperate battle for survival. It was one of the most nervous England debuts for many years.The series was already settled and as much as Cook had spoken of their desire to set new standards by winning an Ashes series 4-0, the sense of experimentation was apparent. The inclusion of Woakes and Kerrigan also markedly changed the balance of the side as England switched from a four-man attack to five and fielded two spinners in a home Test for the first time since the Ashes Test against Australia in Cardiff four years ago.Such a balance was forced upon England by a slow, dry pitch, the sort of conditions in which England have repeatedly dominated in this sun-drenched summer, but as Watson dismissed the debutants from his presence, the five-man attack seemed by mid-afternoon to have been reduced to three as Cook retreated to his trusted trio of Broad, James Anderson and Graeme Swann.Broad apart, only in the first hour did England possess much threat. There was a hint of swing for the new ball and even a semblance of turn for Swann, but Watson bestrode the morning. It was a powerful display of Test batting, but this was not high-quality, tension-ridden Ashes cricket.Broad, at least, is finishing the series full of vigour, but after his 11 wickets in the previous Test, conditions were no longer as encouraging. That reality dawned in his first over when he found the edge of Rogers’ bat but the ball died well short of Cook at first slip. At the fag-end of the day, though, his threat remained and he was inches away from bowling Steven Smith, whose lofted blows had been a feature of his unbeaten 66.England, who dismissed David Warner in the fifth over of the day – a simple catch for the wicketkeeper, Matt Prior, as he fenced at Anderson – followed up with the wickets of Chris Rogers and Michael Clarke in the middle session. Rogers’ laborious stay – 23 from 100 balls – ended when he nicked Swann to first slip, so ending a lengthy stalemate between the pair. Anderson accounted for Clarke, bringing one back to bowl him off the top of his pad to pass Bob Willis and go second in England’s all-time list of Test wicket-takers.Broad’s combative post-lunch spell disturbed Australia’s equilibrium. Watson was felled and, not for the first time in this series, Clarke also seemed to have problems picking up Broad’s short ball. If Anderson dismissed Clarke, Broad deserved an assist.It was a careful cover drive off Anderson which brought Watson his first hundred since he took a century off India in Mohali in 2010, and the third Australian hundred of the series to follow those made by Clarke and Rogers. He was dropped on 104 off Anderson at first slip, an inviting chance, knee high to Cook’s right, off the shoulder of the bat.
