Após triunfo sobre o Racing, pela Copa Libertadores, o Cruzeiro se reapresentou na Toca da Raposa II, nesta quarta-feira. O técnico Mano Menezes teve uma novidade entre os atletas que atuaram no treino: o atacante do sub-20 Marcelo. Porém não é só alegria, o treinador conta com a perda de Rafinha no meio campo.
Segundo o departamento médico cruzeirense, Rafinha teve uma pubalgia na parte abdominal, mais localizada na região direita. Ele, inclusive, ficou fora da partida contra o Racing. A previsão é que ele possa voltar contra o Vasco, em começo de junho, em jogo que ocorrerá no Mineirão
Além do jovem e promessa do Cruzeiro, a equipe comandada por Mano Menezes contou com a volta de Mancuello, que esteve no gramado e realizou um treino físico à parte. O argentino não foi o único. O lateral-direito Edílson também participou normalmente das atividades, após se recuperar de uma lesão no pé esquerdo, que aconteceu diante da goleada, de 7 a 0, sobre o Universidad de Chile, no Mineirão.
O Cruzeiro volta a treinar nesta quinta-feira, quando o técnico Mano Menezes deve esboçar a equipe que enfrentará o Santos, no domingo, às 16h, no Pacaembu, pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. A Raposa está na 13ª posição na tabela, com sete pontos somados.

If his two-year stint as Sri Lanka’s captain was anything like as stressful as it appears from the outside to have been, Kumar Sangakkara is currently 33 going on 40. “Captaining Sri Lanka is a job that ages you very quickly,” he admitted at the Rose Bowl on the eve of the third Test against England, as he prepared to step back into a role he relinquished, with evident relief, at the end of the World Cup final in Mumbai two months ago.Following on from the loss of their captain, Tillakaratne Dilshan, to a broken right thumb, it always seemed likely that Sangakkara would return to lead his country for the 15th and final time in his 97-Test career. However, his reluctance was clear from the moment he handed the reins to Thilan Samaraweera for last week’s three-day warm-up against Essex, and as he admitted to the media ahead of practice at a soggy Rose Bowl, he needed time to weigh up his options as the poisoned chalice was passed once again in his direction.”When I was first approached to captain the side I wasn’t ready to take it on, because the fact was I had given it up, with a view of having finished my role as captain after two successful years,” said Sangakkara. “Unfortunately there was no vice-captain appointed for this Test series, so the side was left in a bit of a problem with no-one to step in to captain.”So with a lot of deep thought and considering the needs of the side and the country, I decided to say yes to captaining Sri Lanka again for a final time in this Test.”The situation was reminiscent of Michael Atherton’s reluctant resumption of his captaincy duties at Lord’s in 2001, when Nasser Hussain’s broken finger had required a change of leadership after a solitary Test of that summer’s Ashes. The difference, of course, was that the break between stints could be measured in years rather than months in Atherton’s case. Sangakkara has barely had time to adjust to life back in the ranks, and now he is back in charge once again.”I actually made my decision to resign a month or two before the World Cup,” he said. “Looking from the outside in, it’s sometimes difficult to fathom why a decision like that could be made, but once you’re in the team, and in that environment, you realise that captaining Sri Lanka is a job that ages you very quickly. But that’s a challenge of the job as well. You say yes to the job knowing full well the challenges you will face.”It’s rarely a job you will last long in,” he added. “Mahela Jayawardene was a fantastic captain for us for two years, and he also resigned. I also had a two-year stint, and I enjoyed it at times, certainly on the field where our results showed we were one of the top two sides in the world for one-and-a-half years, especially in the shorter form of the game. We reached three World Cup finals in a four-year period, two in 50-overs, one in the Twenty20 format, and we beat Australia in Australia after 26 years.”The achievements are huge. On the field, Sri Lankan cricket has been one of the most positive advertisements of our country for a very long time. We have produced world-class players, world-class teams, and World Cup-winning teams. I think the health of Sri Lanka cricket is very good and cricket itself is very strong. But when I stepped down from the captaincy, I thought I was done with it, but I was clearly wrong! I’m back for one last time.”Regardless of the team’s recent success, it is a particularly tricky time for Sangakkara to resume his role. The political interference in selection has reached spectacular levels in recent months, starting with four eyebrow-raising changes to a settled and confident team ahead of the World Cup final against India, and culminating in the recall of Sanath Jayasuriya for the forthcoming one-day series, after more than a year on the sidelines.”That’s a question for the selectors,” was Sangakkara’s diplomatic response to the Jayasuriya issue, as he spelt out the convoluted hierarchy in Sri Lankan cricket, which extends from the sports ministry, down through the cricket board, and ultimately out to the players. “Sanath is a legend of the game,” he added. “One of few batsmen in Sri Lanka who has managed to win games consistently on his own for the country.”However, in the event that Dilshan’s thumb injury keeps him on the sidelines for longer than expected, Sangakkara was adamant that he will not be persuaded to extend his captaincy stint beyond this one-off game. “Realistically the selectors have stated they are looking at different options to lead the side, and to groom another captain under Dilshan,” he said. “They will appoint a vice-captain very soon, so that a situation like this does not arise again.”For now, however, all the doubts and off-field stresses need to be put to one side, as Sangakkara seeks to extend his team’s proud recent record against England. A victory at the Rose Bowl would square the series and leave England without a Test series win over Sri Lanka since 2002, and that prospect is set to guide their strategy in the coming days.”The real opportunity is to tie the Test series, so the way we play has to reflect that,” he said. “Whether you lose 1-0 or 2-0 you’ve still lost a series, but if we scrap and perform the way we can, we have the opportunity to tie the series. We need to show no fear and be as positive as we can, but at the same time execute all we’ve spoken about properly on the field, to try and help us win a Test match.”But the major obstacle to that objective, as Sangakkara conceded, is the loss of Sri Lanka’s leading batsman in the series to date. Dilshan’s absence as captain has thrown up a whole host of issues within the squad, but as a batsman who scored 193 at Lord’s in spite of a broken thumb, he will be badly missed.”It is a significant loss in both capacities,” said Sangakkara. “He’s been the one batsman who’s stood out among us, even in the tour games, and it would have been great for him to be available to captain the third Test and finish the series on a high. Unfortunately he’s not available, and we have to fill the void.”

Tendulkar, who has 51 centuries in Tests and 48 in ODIs, claimed the landmark of 100 international tons wasn’t preoccupying his build-up to the game

The 100th international century is not weighing heavily on Sachin Tendulkar’s mind•AFP
Sachin Tendulkar is one century away from reaching 100 international tons and has an opportunity to achieve that on a historic occasion at Lord’s, where India and England will play the 2000th Test later this month. Tendulkar, who has 51 centuries in Tests and 48 in ODIs, however, said the landmark wasn’t preoccupying his build-up to the game.”I am not thinking of records,” Tendulkar told the . “I am just thinking of enjoying this tour. The secret to any performance is not in chasing records. I think about, ‘What is the best way to enjoy the game, and how can I enhance that enjoyment factor?'”If I enhance the enjoyment then, naturally, the standard of play becomes higher. To me, that is more important. If I am playing well, things can happen. I don’t need to go around chasing them. It is a process. You construct a solid foundation and build on it.”Tendulkar opted out of India’s tour of the West Indies, where they won the ODI series 3-2 and the Tests 1-0. It was India’s first international assignment after their World Cup win, of which Tendulkar was an integral part. “I was extremely delighted. It was something I had always dreamt about,” Tendulkar said of India’s triumph in his sixth World Cup. “You start playing cricket, and one day you walk away as part of a world champion team.”I took up playing serious cricket because in 1983, we won the World Cup, and that was a big turning point in terms of considering cricket a full-time profession. That moment was a decisive one. I felt, ‘I want to play for India one day’. It was a huge boost. From then I started working hard.”When asked of his plans for the future, Tendulkar said it was important he left behind a good legacy whenever he chose to leave the game. “For me, it’s not about breaking records or creating new ones. It’s about adding value to my team. Records will be set by me, they might be broken by someone else.”They’re not going to stay permanently. But the impression that I leave on people will last forever, I feel. The impression that I leave behind – to me that is important. If I can motivate the next young cricketers, that will be a big contribution.”
O meia Marco Antônio vive a expectativa de voltar aos gramados com a camisa do Figueirense. Longe das partidas oficiais desde o final de 2017, por causa de uma hérnia de disco, o jogador está liberado pelo departamento médico do Furacão para retornar ao time.
Marco Antônio vem treinando desde o mês passado e aguarda o momento em que será relacionado pelo técnico Milton Cruz. O jogador de 33 anos briga por espaço no time alvinegro.
De acordo com o médico do Furacão, Marco Pereira Dias, apesar do aval para voltar a jogar, o atleta pode voltar a sentir dor a qualquer momento.
– Ele já está fora da crise, a hérnia de disco é uma doença que você não se livra dela, você é portador da hérnia. E ela tem várias crises ao longo da vida. Aquele panorama que vimos do Marco Antônio no final do ano passado era um momento de crise, começou esse ano em crise intensa. Fez uso de medicação forte. Saiu dessa crise, junto da fisioterapia. Fora da crise, ele é um atleta de ponta, atleta normal. Condicionamento melhorou muito, força muscular também – disse o médico à Rádio CBN/Diário.
O meia foi um dos primeiros a renovar o contrato com o Figueirense para a temporada deste ano. A comissão técnica aguarda melhora do condicionamento físico de Marco Antônio para poder voltar a escalar o jogador. O meio-campistaestá na segunda passagem pelo Furacão. Em 2014, atuou em 33 partidas e marcou três gols. Desde que voltou, em 2017, foram 17 jogos.
Norton Fredrick, the former Sri Lankan first-class cricketer, died on Wednesday at the age of 73 following a terminal illness at his home in Wattala
Sa'adi Thawfeeq10-Aug-2011Norton Fredrick, the former Sri Lankan first-class cricketer, died on Wednesday at the age of 73, following a terminal illness, at his home in Wattala, ten kilometres from Colombo. Fredrick played for the All Ceylon team before Sri Lanka had Test status, and also for Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club in Sri Lanka. Although stocky for a fast bowler, he had all the ingredients that make a good quick – a short temper and speed.Fredrick’s four-year career with Ceylon was short but he made a big impact, and earned the nickname Fiery Fred, which he shared with Fred Trueman. Although not an orthodox quick, he generated a great deal of pace; his most potent delivery was the inswinger bowled with a high-arm action with which he beat batsmen regularly and bowled them through the gate, often hitting the bails.His most memorable match was an unofficial Test for All Ceylon against India, played in Ahmedabad in 1965, in which he ripped through the Indian top order in both innings to set up a historic four-wicket win for his country. It was the first time All Ceylon had won in India and Sri Lanka have never won a Test in India since becoming a Test-playing nation.Fredrick took seven wickets in the match in Ahmedabad – 4 for 85 in the first innings and 3 for 24 in the second – and his victims were Dilip Sardesai (twice), India captain the Nawab of Pataudi (twice), Farokh Engineer, Abbas Ali Baig and Hanumant Singh, who according to Frederick was the best batsman in India at the time. India were bowled out for totals of 189 and 66.For a fast bowler, Fredrick suffered remarkably few injuries through his career. “I never suffered from cramps until I got one holding on to a return catch given by Indian batsman Chandu Borde. Only then did I know what a cramp was,” Fredrick once said. He maintained his physique by doing wind sprints after practice for about an hour and parallel bar exercises.Strangely enough Fredrick never played cricket for his school St Joseph’s College, Colombo in the ten years he was a student there because he bowled with a round-arm action. “I bowled so fast that I used to injure children at Under-13 and Under-14 level with a tennis ball. But when I went for first XI practices the coach said that I had a square-arm action and dropped me from the team,” he once recalled.It was when Fredrick joined the Prisons Department as a welfare officer that his cricket career really started to take shape. He joined Bloomfield in 1959, took five wickets in his first match for them and never looked back. He played eight years of Sara Trophy Division One cricket for Bloomfield, helping them win the title in 1963-64 by taking 57 wickets. In his entire career for Bloomfield he captured 183 wickets, at an average of 16.58.In the four years he represented Ceylon (1964-1968) Fredrick played against Australia, the MCC, India and Pakistan, opening the bowling with Darrell Lieversz and with Ian Pieris; he played under the leadership of CI Gunasekera and Michael Tissera. Due to family commitments he was forced to end his career in 1968. He was a Sri Lanka Cricket-appointed match referee in later years and had a road named after him called Norton Place in his neighbourhood in recognition of the social service he and his wife did for the community. He had two sons, one of whom was an army officer who died during the civil war in Sri Lanka.
Depois de meses fora do Vasco por conta de lesão, o lateral-esquerdo Ramon carrega a expectativa de voltar ao time titular do Cruz-Maltino. Nos últimos jogos, o experiente atleta, de 30 anos, vem aumentando a carga de participação, mas ainda começando do banco de reservas. Contra o Sport, no sábado passado, foi dele o gol que garantiu a vitória pelo Campeonato Brasileiro e quarta-feira, diante do Internacional, ele espera ajudar mais.
– Ainda não sei se serei titular contra o Internacional, estou na expectativa. Mas se eu não começar, entendo totalmente. Falta só um jogo para a parada do Campeonato Brasileiro e não tem motivo para arriscar. Até porque o Henrique vem muito bem na lateral esquerda e eu respeito isso. Minha hora vai chegar e quero ajudar ainda mais o Vasco – destacou o jogador em entrevista coletiva após a atividade na manhã desta segunda-feira no CT das Vargens.
Ramon também analisou o início do trabalho de Jorginho, que reestreou pelo Vasco no fim de semana passada substituindo Zé Ricardo no cargo de treinador. O lateral-esquerdo aproveitou para falar inclusive sobre as expectativas para o duelo de quarta-feira, no Rio Grande do Sul, ressaltando que o Cruz-Maltino possui condições de fazer uma boa partida e retornar com pontos para o Rio de Janeiro antes de iniciar as férias de dez dias:
– O Jorginho tem uma oratória boa, fala bem e sabe como motivar. Ele conversou individualmente com cada um, perguntou onde o quarto de cada um na concentração. Só nesta segunda-feira que ele começou a implementar o trabalho. O Internacional é muito forte lá dentro e vem embalado e confiante. Temos que fazer uma partida inteligente, assim como foi contra o Cruzeiro. Primeiro marcar, se posicionar e estar concentrado. Depois aproveitar da melhor maneira os contra-ataques, temos condições de fazer uma boa partida.

Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has questioned the decision to rest fast bowlers Wahab Riaz and Umar Gul for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe

Wahab Riaz (right) needs opportunities to play cricket not rest, according to Wasim Akram•AFP
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has questioned the decision to rest fast bowlers Wahab Riaz and Umar Gul for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe saying it would hamper their growth as bowlers.”I don’t mind taking Zimbabwe lightly and giving chances to youngsters,” Akram told , “but it is surprising that you rest Riaz who has just started his career a year ago and is progressing. He doesn’t need rest.”The Pakistan selectors also omitted seamer Tanvir Ahmed, and instead chose to go with an inexperienced pace attack comprising Sohail Khan, Sohail Tanvir, debutant Aizaz Cheema and Junaid Khan. Commenting on the selection, chief selector Mohsin Khan had said the fresh look to the squad was an effort to blood youngsters. However Akram said the tour would have been a good opportunity for Riaz to continue his development and for Gul to regain his form.”I have seen that out-of-form paceman get back to form by playing easier teams, but here we have rested the two main pacemen and they were allowed to play county cricket, instead of doing the national duty,” Wasim said. “The idea to groom a young paceman is to give him more and more opportunities and not to rest him. Riaz needs opportunities and it’s not wise for him to rest at this stage.”Riaz, who has played seven Tests and 22 ODIs for Pakistan, was the leading wicket-taker for Kent in the Friends Life t20 competition with 20 wickets from 13 games while Gul picked up 12 wickets from eight games for Sussex.Wasim said teams like India and Australia who played continuously could afford to rest key players, unlike Pakistan whose cricket calendar is not as packed. “If we see India giving rest to their key players, it’s understandable because they play too much cricket throughout the year but Pakistan rarely plays Tests and here we are without our rising paceman.”Akram praised the selection of 31-year-old Cheema, who was rewarded for his solid performances on the domestic circuit. “Cheema has been leading wicket-taker in Pakistan’s domestic season, so he deserved a chance but there should be more consistency in selection,” he said.Akram also said that Pakistan still needed the services of former captain Shahid Afridi who announced his retirement from international cricket following a dispute with the Pakistan board. “I won’t speak much on the issue but Afridi is needed,” Akram said. “He has a lot of cricket left in him and he can still do a lot for the Pakistan team.”
