SYDNEY, Nov 10 AAP – New South Wales speedster Brett Lee again proved the destroyer, taking a second five wicket haul to lead his side to a convincing victory over Tasmania in the Pura Cup cricket match at the SCG today.Lee did nothing wrong in his bid for a Test re-call after his axing last week.He added 5-86 to a first innings 5-63 to snare his first bag of 10 first class wickets in a match as the Blues trounced their opponents by an innings and eight runs late on the third day.He was well supported by fellow Test discard Stuart MacGill, who added three wickets to his four from the first innings as the Tigers crumbled to be all out for 258 in their second innings.The visitors always faced a tough task after managing just 171 in their first innings and the Blues posted an impressive 8(dec)-437 in reply on the back of a flawless unbeaten 201 by Michael Bevan.Lee and fellow paceman Stuart Clark bowled soundly early in the first session for no reward after the Tigers resumed at 1-30.It was not until Nathan Bracken replaced Lee late in the first hour to that the breakthrough came, the 25-year-old bowling Michael Dighton (25) with just his fourth ball of the innings.Lee then claimed the vital wicket of Tasmanian opener and captain Jamie Cox (39) in the fourth over after lunch.The Tigers narrowly avoided losing another wicket at 3-152 when Graeme Cunningham struck a MacGill delivery just behind point and set off for an ambitious single.Michael Clarke gathered the ball and fired a throw into wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, who removed the bails with Marsh narrowly making his ground.But his reprieve was short lived as Clark was re-introduced to the attack with immediate effect, having Marsh caught by Michael Slater for 44.Lee then struck again, trapping Shane Watson lbw for eight.MacGill toiled courageously and perhaps deserved a greater return from his 31 overs on the trot in a tough head wind.He had to wait until the last ball of his 28th over to claim his first wicket when Cunningham (40) played the ball onto his stumps.Lee bowled Damien Wright (19) in the third over with the new ball and the Tigers looked shaken at 7-217.MacGill’s relentless work ethic paid off later when he returned to the fray to bowl the eighth over with the new ball and, with his first delivery, trapped Shannon Tubb lbw for three.Two balls later, he dismissed Shane Jurgensen (six) the same way to finally walk away with a fitting 3-86 from 36 overs after 4-42 in the first innings.Just as Sean Clingeleffer looked like steering the visitors past the target of 266, Lee, intent on claiming his 10th scalp, had his wish, bowling the left-hander for 43.Gerard Denton remained not out one.

Hundreds for Andrew Hall and Andre Seymore for Easterns and a ninety-eight for Western Province’s Neil Johnson highlighted the start of round three of the Standard Bank Cup competition with KwaZulu-Natal, Western Province and Easterns recording wins

Keith Lane22-Nov-2002Hundreds for Andrew Hall and Andre Seymore for Easterns and a ninety-eight for Western Province’s Neil Johnson highlighted the start of round three of the Standard Bank Cup competition with KwaZulu-Natal, Western Province and Easterns recording wins.Willowmoore Park in Benoni saw Easterns winning the toss and batting first against Griqualand West.Andre Seymore and Andrew Hall matched each other ball for ball with a 231 run opening partnership with Seymore going to his hundred first and then getting bowled by Johann Louw on the magical three figure mark. The hundred came up in 126 balls and included 12 sparkling boundaries once more piercing the point area with some powerful cuts.Hall showed what good form he is in at the moment, going to his 100 in 124 balls with 11 boundaries. Once the hundred came up he unleashed some classic shots scoring a further 22 runs from his last 10 balls to end undefeated on 122. He was awarded man-of-the-match.Albie Morkel sent in at number three lost his wicket to Louw on the last ball of the innings after smashing 22 from 15 balls, which included one four and a six, leaving Easterns in a strong position at 266/2.Apart from the two wickets from Louw (2/44 in six overs) the only other bowlers who managed to put some brakes on the scoring rate were Zahir Abrahim (0/42) and Martin Gidley (0/39).Griqualand West did make use of a good pitch losing Loots Bosman (2) to Andre Nel and Pieter Koortzen (7) to Hall within the first six overs.A further wicket for Hall, that of Gidley (10), left Griquas on 34 and a required run rate of 6.5 in the final 35 overs.Brett Tucker and Louw restored some hope to the Griqualand West innings putting on a 99 run partnership with Louw the aggressor twice hitting big sixes into the main and players pavilions. His aggression and a growing run rate was his demise playing over a quick yorker from Crookes for 51 coming off 58 balls and including four fours and the two sixes.With the departure of Louw wickets fell all around Tucker. A brief flutter from Abrahim scoring 26 and an undefeated 80 from Tucker saw Griqualand West nose past the bonus point score of 212 to end on 221 all out in the 41st over. A loss by 45 runs.Some light rain and lightning chased the players off the field at the Wanderers where Western Province had won the toss and elected to bat against Gauteng.Having strengthen their side the visitors started off with Neil Johnson, back from his suspension, and Graeme Smith taking 43 runs off the first seven overs before Smith forcing from the front foot, when on 13, scooping a leading edge for Ashfak Abowath to take his first limited overs wicket.This brought HD Ackerman to the crease and aided by some woeful bowling moved the score along to 125/1 in the 24th over when the umpires decided to take the players off the field with some light rain and lightning striking very close to the Wanderers.After a break of 55 minutes the players returned with Johnson continuing to dominate. After 14 boundaries and 120 balls in which he improvised and worked the ball into most of the gaps in the field he a returned a catch to Adam Bacher for the third umpire to give him out caught and bowled on 98 ending a 150 run partnership in 31 overs.Ashwell Prince wasted no time at the crease and had raced to 35 runs off 21 balls while Ackerman kept his end going. With the score on 231 and only ten balls remaining Ackerman played past an Eksteen delivery to be bowled for 66 having been instrumental in getting Province into a strong position.At the end of the innings Western Province had moved to 243/4 with Prince being clean bowled by David Terbrugge for 42 on the second last ball of the innings.David Terbrugge had been his usual miserly self throughout the innings ending with 1/30 in his nine overs, but it was Adam Bacher who impressed with figures of 1/22 in his nine overs. Without these two bowlers Western Province might have cruised past 275.Bacher and Solly Ndima made a brisk start to the Strikers innings putting on 47 before Ndima trying to go over square leg was well taken by Smith for 29.Bacher was next to lose his wicket. Finding it difficult to keep the scoreboard moving he was well held at mid on for 25 off 46 balls and when Warren Dugmore left without scoring, all seemed lost for the hosts.Marthinus Otto was still and the crease, playing some lusty shots he flat batted Renier Munnik over the mid-wicket rope before being bowled by Claude Henderson for 37.Seventeen-year-old debutante Vaughn van Jaarsveld showed a lot of maturity by scoring a classy fluent 57 from 59 balls, including six fours and a six. A bright future is predicted for this standard nine pupil.With the last five wickets going down for 39 runs Western Province ran out winner by 44 runs, but could not gain the bonus point.In Durban, the KwaZulu-Natal Dolphins at last hit form bowling North West out for 111 in 42 overs and then reaching the target in 30 overs.A disappointing evening for Pool A log leaders North West. Winning the toss and batting first they never recovered from a poor start after finding themselves 39/4 from 17 overs. Man-of-the-match, Nixon McLean, taking two of the early wickets.Top scores of 19 from ex Natalian Grant Rowley and Alfonso Thomas was never going to be enough to stretch the Dolphins.Shaun Pollock (7-2-10-0), McLean (9-4-15-4), Jon Kent (8-2-27-3) and debutante Yadeen Singh (9-0-32-2) made sure that the Dragons batsmen were always under pressure finding it difficult to get out of the hole dug early in the innings.The Dolphins after losing Ahmed Amla for 21 and Ashraf Mall for two, both to Garth Roe, easily reached the target of 112 in 30 overs with Kent not out 43 and Dale Benkenstein not out 30. The win by eight wickets, and a bonus point, gives KwaZulu-Natal its first points on the log.

Despite overnight rain delaying the start of the final day’s play, the result was a foregone conclusion

Anand Vasu22-May-2002Despite overnight rain delaying the start of the final day’s play, the result was a foregone conclusion. The last rites were eventually played out, the West Indies dismissed India for 252 and won the Test by 155 runs. With it, they win the series 2-1.The first man to be dismissed was Ajay Ratra. As expected, West Indies took the second new ball first thing in the morning. After surviving a loud shout for lbw against Cameron Cuffy, Ratra eventually perished in that very fashion. Although the ball was traveling down the leg-side, umpire Russell Tiffin upheld the appeal. Ratra was dismissed for 19, helping to add five runs to India’s overnight score of 237.Javagal Srinath has not inspired much confidence with the bat all series, and the poor run continued. Spending an awkward time at the crease bobbing, weaving and fending in ungainly fashion, Srinath eventually gave Cuffy his second wicket of the day. A ball pitched just outside the off ducking in at the last moment. Srinath, moving away to the leg side as he has done to anything that is pitched slightly short, heard the death rattle as leather hit timber.Ashish Nehra, coming in at number 11, did his best to defend in the hope of prolonging the innings as much as possible. With some clouds in the horizon, there was a possibility of rain. To ask the last man to defend forever is not realistic, however. Nehra did have a wild heave every now and then.Zaheer Khan beat his fellow paceman back to the pavilion, though. Fittingly it was Merv Dillon who took the last wicket to fall. Zaheer Khan (12) slogged Dillon to Pedro Collins at cover and it was all over. Dillon ended with 23 wickets in the series.The West Indies did a lap of honour around the ground – something the fans appreciated tremendously. India’s hopes of winning a series outside the subcontinent will have to wait for another day. They tour England next, and that will be a stern test.For the moment, though, it is the end of this series, one that has been exciting all the way. After being 0-1 down in the series, the West Indies came back strongly. The wickets at Guyana and Antigua did nothing to help achieve results, and the matches there were understandably drawn. India did well to win at Port-of-Spain but were below par at Barbados and here at Jamaica.There were many contenders for the Man of the Series award – Shivnarine Chanderpaul with his invaluable contribution of 562 runs at 140-plus, Carl Hooper with 579 runs at 82.71, Rahul Dravid with 404 runs at over 55 a knock, and finally Dillon with 23 wickets at less than 30 apiece.The adjudicating panel, consisting of both coaches – John Wright and Roger Harper – and commentators Michael Holding and Sunil Gavaskar chose Chanderpaul for the honour. None will grudge him that. When India were last in the West Indies in 1997, Chanderpaul won this award. Once more he drives away a nice car.For his first-innings century and sharp close catches, Wavell Hinds was awarded the Man of the Match award.

Sri Lanka were wary of a South African backlash after Shaun Pollock warned that his team knew what to do in Wednesday’s final of the Morocco Cup

Samiul Hasan21-Aug-2002Sri Lanka were wary of a South African backlash after Shaun Pollock warned that his team knew what to do in Wednesday’s final of the Morocco Cup.”South Africa are a dangerous side and capable of bouncing back. All we need to do is to keep the winning momentum going and give minimum opportunities to them,” skipper Sanath Jayasuriya said.Pollock didn’t elaborate measures required but said that he had identified ways how to peg them down. “The basics are not to lose too many wickets in the first 15 overs and keep Aravinda de Silva in check.”De Silva has scored 157 runs in four matches but most importantly struck match-winning 73 and 77 not out against South Africa that earned him the Man-of-the-Match awards.Sri Lanka, who began with a defeat against Pakistan, won all their remaining three games, including successive victories against South Africa. Nonetheless, Sri Lanka have recently made it a habit of throwing their hard work out of the window in the title match. In April in Sharjah, they twice defeated Pakistan but lost a lopsided final.”Hopefully, we will change things around this time. The conditions are different as compared to Sharjah where it is easier to bowl in the evenings when the floodlights are on,” Sri Lanka coach Dav Whatmore remarked.Sri Lanka will go into the match full of confidence after all their players are in form and on a roll. It has been a pleasing change after a disastrous tour to England where they failed to reach the final of the tri-nation series won by India.It would not be unfair to say that tomorrow’s final will be between two teams that touched rock bottom earlier this year. If Sri Lanka were hammered in England, South Africa found themselves under the whip in their backyard against Australia where they badly lost the one-day and Test series. This match will also provide the two powerhouses of international cricket a platform to judge their strength and weaknesses for September’s ICC Champions Trophy – the buildup for next year’s World Cup.Jayasuriya was happy with his form as he has been instrumental is providing the 1996 world champions a flying start. But he said he needed to get big scores.”The form is good but in big matches, you need to convert good starts into big scores. In that respect, I am not happy because I am getting out in 40s,” he said.The final will be played on the surface on which the two teams locked horns Monday with Sri Lanka becoming the first team to win the match while chasing the target.Teams (from):Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya (captain), Marvan Atapattu, Kumar Sangakkara, Aravinda de Silva, Mahela Jayawardena, Russel Arnold, Upul Chandana, Chaminda Vaas, Charita Bhuddika Fernando, Muttiah Muralitharan, Dilhara Fernando, Chamila Gamage, Hasantha Fernando, Pulasathi Gunaratne.South Africa: Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith, Gary Kirsten, Jacques Kallis, Boeta Dippenaar, Jonty Rhodes, Nicky Boje, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock (captain), Lance Klusener, Allan Donald, Justin Ontong, Roger Telemachus, Makhaya Ntini, Paul Adams.

It was a frustrating day at the Rose Bowl on Friday, the third day of the Frizzell County Championship match was washed out, but not after the umpires had made five inspection trips to the middle.Heavy overnight rain, which had the ground awash at 6am, had made a prompt start impossible, but the lack of any sunshine and no wind, despite the sterling efforts of the ground staff, meant that by 5pm, Messrs. Ken Palmer and George Sharp, with the captains in attendance finally agreed to try again tommorrow.There was a small crowd that had waited all day, plus a party of 40 former Hampshire players in attendance for their bi-annual reunion. Among them were new club president Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie, Derek Shackleton, Jimmy Gray, Peter Sainsbury, Butch White plus many going back to before the last war, and some of more recent ilk. Joining them were Club Chairman Rod Bransgrove and former President Wilfred Weld.

According to Calciomercato, Everton are interested in signing Juventus defender Mattia De Sciglio this summer.

The Lowdown: Toffees struggling

As we approach the 2020/21 campaign, the Toffees remain in a difficult situation as they continue their search for a new manager after the departure of Carlo Ancelotti to Real Madrid (Sky Sports).

It appears that Rafa Benitez is the favourite to take over (The Telegraph), but even though he is not yet confirmed as the new boss, Everton must continue to pursue transfer targets.

The Latest: Everton eye De Sciglio

Calciomercato reported that Everton, along with Villarreal, are eager to sign De Sciglio from Juventus this summer.

The Italy international, who spent last season on loan at Lyon, could be available for as little as €5m (£4.3m) during this transfer window.

The Verdict: True bargain

There is no doubt about it – such a deal for De Sciglio would represent a huge bargain. The full-back has plenty of experience under his belt, making 151 appearances in Serie A (Transfermarkt) and winning the Italian league title on three occasions. He has also earned 39 caps for Italy and, in the past, he has even been compared to Italy and AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini (Goal.com).

He has obviously not lived up that huge comparison, but that does not make him a poor player. For such a price, Everton would struggle to find a better performer in the market – even the fee being quoted for De Sciglio is €2.5m (£2.1m) and 33% lower than his €7.5m (£6.4m) market value (Transfermarkt). Marcel Brands should move quickly to try and secure his services amid Villarreal’s apparent interest.

In other news, many Everton fans were fuming over this journalist’s question to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Wilfried Zaha has constantly been linked with a move away from Crystal Palace, with Arsenal always appearing to be his likely destination but former Eagle Marcus Bent is not sure big clubs will look to sign him this summer.

The Ivory Coast international has seen fresh new links this week emerge which have suggested that both Everton and Tottenham Hotspur could look to pounce on the winger who has just two years left on his contract, and subsequently could be available for around £40m.

Palace are set to embark on their first Premier League season without Roy Hodgson for four years and whoever is appointed as his successor may have to navigate the Eagles away from the relegation zone without their talisman.

Zaha may want to leave this summer and Palace may feel this is the last time for them to receive a big offer for the winger, but will any clubs snap him up? Bent is not convinced they will as he spoke exclusively to The Transfer Tavern:

“I think they will be tempted to sell him but the problem is, who would want to buy him? I’m not saying nobody would want to buy him but we spoke about Everton and how they wanted to take him on two years ago, because that was when he was young and fresh.

“I mean two or three years ago Man City would have taken him but now, who’s going to take a risk on him? Is he going to be consistent enough at another club? So, I don’t know whether they will try and cash in on him this summer. Will they get the money that will allow them to sign a few new players?”

Zaha may have well and truly put himself in the shop window after putting up his best numbers in front of goal in his entire career, finishing on 11 goals and as the club’s top scorer.

After Hodgson announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, it may have forced Zaha to seriously consider his future and if he wants to risk playing under a manager who may not allow him to play as Hodgson did.

Tim McIntosh, the 21-year-old Auckland left-hand opening batsman, performed one of the great rags-to-riches performances when he scored 167 in the Auckland first innings score of 361 for four wickets against Canterbury in the Shell Trophy match at Eden Park’s outer oval today.McIntosh had a dazzling start to the Trophy season when he scored 182 against Canterbury at Village Green in the second match of the summer in early December.Over the next seven matches McIntosh scored two half-centuries, but many innings far below the potential he has shown in recent years.In his last three matches McIntosh scored 21 and 0 against Otago, 0 and 56 against Central Districts and that very quick “air” in a total of 14 balls against Wellington – four ducks and 77 runs.Yet from the very first minutes, even after losing his opening partner Richard Pudney at 8, McIntosh batted like a man in totally commanding form. There was a slowish start as Canterbury, after losing the toss, attacked vigorously with Chris Martin, the New Zealand medium-fast bowler, and Shane Bond, a very aggressive bowler.Martin made a surprise appearance. He had been dropped from the New Zealand one-day side, but with the first day washed out Canterbury had time to get Martin to Auckland in time to start on the second day.While McIntosh looked safer and more confident with every passing over, Canterbury missed the chances against Richard King, an enterprising right-hand batsman with a rich share of good luck.While McIntosh went sublimely along, King was twice dropped at third (11) and then second slip (28) by Gary Stead, and must have been very close to a bat-pad catch from Carl Anderson when he was 32.And that was the end of the Canterbury bowlers for the rest of the day, even if Bond did finish with three well-earned wickets for 70 runs.King was out short of a half-century, but had set up Auckland with a 101-run stand for the second wicket.Blair Pocock, another Auckland batsman searching for good form, struggled manfully, and Auckland was lucky that Pocock’s sluggish start coincided with McIntosh reaching a rich vein of runs.In fact Pocock had scored only 12 in 75 balls, but he was there while McIntosh hustled the total along from 109 for two wickets to 190 for three.By this time the pitch had lost any menace it may have contained from the slightly damp and slow surface, and with the sun sapping the bowlers’ energy, McIntosh led Auckland to faster and faster scoring.McIntosh’s first 50 took 110 balls and 134 minutes, with seven fours and a six. His second 50 came from 83 balls and 97 minutes, eight fours and a six – not riotous scoring, but quite quick by recent Auckland scoring.And it said much for McIntosh’s control that he galloped through the 80’s and 90’s with a barrage of boundaries and finished off the century with his signature stroke, a superb straight four from the front foot.The arrival of Nash gave McIntosh and Auckland another lease of life. They scored their first 50 together in 29 minutes from 35 balls, with Nash starting his assault with a straight six, and then driving and cutting boundaries from the tiring Canterbury bowlers.Canterbury even had to call on a few expensive overs from Jarrod Englefield and James Ward as they filled in time before the second new ball, and during this time McIntosh and Nash were in dominating mood.However, there was nothing wrong with the spirit of the Canterbury bowlers and when Martin and Bond had the second new balls they stopped Auckland in their tracks.The first effect was the dismissal of McIntosh after only three deliveries with the new ball from Bond.McIntosh had looked impregnable, and tucked away a wide ball from Bond for four to third man, one of his regular supply of runs.The next ball may have been an accident, or a touch of tactical genius from Bond. The ball was very wide, bouncing high, McIntosh made what looked like a token wave at the ball as it zoomed by – and the faint touch was smartly taken by by Peter Fulton at second slip.McIntosh had scored his 167 in 293 minutes from 248 balls, 116 of the runs from 26 fours and two sixes.As if in sympathy Nash and Kyle Mills went on the defensive as Bond and Martin made a brave effort with the new ball. In ten overs they allowed Auckland only 19 runs.But they could not break the Mills-Nash stand, and once the bowling lost its edge Nash and Mills resumed normal service, hammering fours as they took their unbeaten fourth wicket stand to 99.Besides Martin and Bond, James Ward had some bowling distinction for his lbw decision against Pocock gave Ward his first wicket in big cricket.Peter Fulton, the other debutant, bowled some tidy medium-pace overs, but he did not have any luck and missed King’s wicket through a dropped catch.With the pitch playing easily, Auckland may bat on tomorrow, perhaps with the hope of scoring a dominating first innings – and then try and dismiss Canterbury twice. However, with two day’s play left, an Auckland declaration at the start this morning might be a necessary step toward an outright win for either side.

Many Wolves fans have been left to buzz as the Midlands club confirmed on their official website that Conor Coady is in England’s provisional Euros squad.

Gareth Southgate has named 33 players in his provisional squad for Euro 2020 which will have to be cut down to 26 and named on the 1st June.

It is always good to see a player from your team represent their country at international level, and Coady may be able to do just that for the Molineux faithful should he make the final cut.

The central defender averaged the most blocks (0.9) and long balls (6.7) per game in the Premier League in the 2020/21 term out of any of his teammates, and he also ranked highly in terms of clearances (3.5), average passes (50.2) and pass success percentage (88%) (Whoscored).

With the competition for places at centre-back for the Three Lions, Coady has certainly done well to earn his spot.

Wolves fans on Coady call-up

These WWFC supporters buzzed as Coady’s call-up was shared on Twitter, with one fan claiming that they were ‘so happy’ while a couple labelled the news as ‘brilliant’:
