West Indies hope the return of Chris Gayle will be a major boost to the Test top order•AFP

The West Indies captain Darren Sammy is confident the return of Chris Gayle will be the top-order boost his side needs to post winning totals in the Test series against New Zealand. Gayle is set to play his first Test since December 2010 when the two teams walk out in Antigua on Wednesday, and his absence over the past 18 months has left an enormous hole at the top of the order.During the standoff between Gayle and the WICB, the West Indies Test side used five different opening batsmen and between them they managed only three half-century partnerships in 31 innings. This year the results have been even worse: during the series against Australia and England the West Indies opening partnerships averaged 14.45.Gayle has played only one first-class match since his last Test but he showed no signs of rustiness against the red ball, crunching 165 from 155 balls for Jamaica against the Windward Islands in February. He also enjoys playing New Zealand; his Test average of 74.54 against them is his highest average against any country, and despite some low scores against them at the end of the recent ODI series he was comfortably the dominant batsman of the limited-overs portion of the tour.”It’s very exciting. I know he’s looking forward to being back in white clothes as well,” Sammy told reporters in Antigua ahead of the first Test. “Not just Chris but the entire team is looking forward to the Test series and hopefully we can continue the form we showed in the T20 and one-day series.”Our opening position has been a spot of bother for us, but with the experience [of Gayle] back there hopefully we can see off the new ball and put a good total on the board. The new ball we have struggled for the last year or so. His experience, he can pass it on to the younger players. But at the end of the day you’ve still got to go out there and put the performance out there in the middle, because we’ve got a good side on paper but you still have to go out there and do the business.”The two-match series provides West Indies with an excellent chance to improve their recent Test record; the only one of their past 10 Test series they have won was against Bangladesh. They can also take confidence from the tour match over the past few days, when the New Zealanders narrowly avoided defeat against the WICB President’s XI in a match in which several Test squad members performed strongly.”We had five or six of our guys playing against New Zealand in the practice game. I think they did it well,” Sammy said. “Kemar [Roach] came back from injury and he had a good bowl. [Shivnarine] Chanderpaul [made 51], [Narsingh] Deonarine scored a hundred, [Assad] Fudadin looked good. The guys who played during the one-day series have had a chance to go home and rest up and come back fresh.”One of those men who has taken some time off was the offspinner Sunil Narine, who was the Player of the Series in the ODIs against New Zealand and is the only specialist slow bowler in the West Indies Test squad. The visitors struggled against Narine’s variations during the limited-overs games and Sammy said that while the challenge in Test cricket was different, Narine would again be a handful.”[On] the type of wickets we play on in the Caribbean, spin plays an important role,” Sammy said. “We have a world-class spinner in Narine, who proved that throughout the one-day and T20 competition that he’s a handful here in the Caribbean. It’s a different ball and batsmen don’t have to attack him, but I back him to go out there and do well for us.”

Rodrigo Caetano rebate acusações do árbitro Ricardo Marques

MatériaMais Notícias

Na tarde desta terça-feira, o diretor executivo do Internacional, Rodrigo Caetano, resolveu conceder entrevista coletiva no CT Parque Gigante e explicou a confusão que ocorreu com o árbitro Ricardo Marques.

Na súmula divulgada pós-jogo, o juiz afirmou que o diretor o chamou de “safado”, versão que Caetano fez questão de negar a versão.

‘O que foi relatado em súmula é algo que me deixou muito inconformado. Hoje os árbitros transformam a súmula do jogo em verdade absoluta e nós é que temos que passar a partir de então a nos defender. Em momento nenhum eu o chamei da palavra da qual ele identificou a minha abordagem, como safado. Eu não faço isso nem com ele nem com ninguém. Jamais faria um negócio desse’.

Sem demonstrar muita preocupação, o diretor citou o descontrole do árbitro para utilizar em sua defesa no caso.

‘A forma como ele estava bastante alterado após o jogo acho que demonstra a consciência que ele teve de talvez ter errado em um lance capital do jogo. Mas não justifica em absoluto os termos que ele utilizou na súmula. No que for necessário, o Internacional vai me defender. Além de tudo isso ainda, não sei se de forma pejorativa, ele se referiu à minha situação atual, que infelizmente por conta de uma lesão, eu só tenho uma forma de me locomover de muletas. Mas ele não poderia ter feito nenhuma sugestão que, por conta das muletas, eu teria feito qualquer tipo de ação com a intenção de atingi-lo’, afirmou.

Com 57 pontos, o Internacional volta a campo na próxima sexta-feira, quando encara o Vasco, em São Januário.

Aos 10 minutos da etapa final, o sexteto da arbitragem comandado por Ricardo Marques, anulou um gol de Leandro Damião e gerou muita irritação do time Colorado. No fim, o Internacional empatou por 2 a 2 com o Santos e ficou longe do líder Palmeiras.

Late surge puts Hampshire on top

Gloucestershire still have much to do if they are to stave off defeat at the hands of Hampshire on the final day at Bristol.

08-Aug-2012
ScorecardGloucestershire still have much to do if they are to stave off defeat at the hands of Hampshire on the final day at Bristol. The home side staged a spirited recovery to bowl the visitors out for 276 and restrict them to a negligible first-innings lead of five runs, only to themselves suffer a mini batting collapse during the evening session.Their top order undermined by Hampshire’s seam bowlers, Gloucestershire reached the close on 102 for 4, just 97 runs to the good. With the weather set fair for the fourth day, promotion-chasing Hampshire will fancy their chances of forcing victory to keep up the pressure on leaders Derbyshire.Responding to the home side’s 271, Hampshire looked set to establish a meaningful first-innings lead when advancing to 218 for 4 shortly before lunch. But South African batsman Neil McKenzie was bowled by David Payne six runs short of a hundred to spark a collapse in which Hampshire lost six wickets for 58 runs and were dismissed for 276 in 87 overs.A Gloucestershire recovery appeared unlikely when Australian batsman Simon Katich and veteran McKenzie continued to pile on the runs after Hampshire resumed their first innings on 104 for 2 but Gloucestershire enjoyed a much-needed stroke of good fortune when Katich was run out by Ian Saxelby in pursuit of a single.Nicol then had Liam Dawson held in the covers, but the real breakthrough came when Payne uprooted McKenzie’s off stump in the final over of the morning session. McKenzie, a replacement for the injured Michael Carberry, had plundered 94 from 170 balls and taken advantage of some wayward bowling to accrue 14 fours and a six, sharing in stands of 79 and 50 with Bilal Shafayat and Katich.Gloucestershire’s seam bowlers stuck to their task after lunch and made further inroads, Liam Norwell bowling Michael Bates and Dimitri Mascarenhas edging Howell to first slip before as the visitors slumped to 262 for 7. Saxelby and Payne then used the second new ball to good effect to wrap up the tail in the space of 6.2 overs.Having advanced to 44 without offering so much as a sniff of a chance, Sean Ervine fell to a loose shot, steering a short delivery from Saxelby to first slip. David Balcombe slapped the same bowler to mid-off as Saxelby finished with 3 for 44 and Payne had Kabir Ali caught at second slip flashing at a ball outside off stump.Howell and Nicol made the most of improving conditions and a flatter pitch to raise 51 for the first wicket as Gloucestershire continued to prosper in the final session.But Hampshire evened things up before the close, Balcombe locating Nicol’s outside edge and Katich taking a fine catch at second slip before Howell wasting his earlier good work by driving loosely at a wide delivery from Ervine and being snaffled by McKenzie at first slip for 36. Clearly a man with a point to prove after being released by Hampshire last winter, new Gloucestershire recruit Howell will no doubt be disappointed at missing out on a half-century that appeared to be his for the taking.Experienced campaigners Alex Gidman and Hamish Marshall then departed in quick succession, both falling to Balcombe, as Gloucestershire slipped to 72 for 4. Thereafter, Dan Housego and Ian Cockbain negotiated 12 overs without further mishap and much will depend on the fifth-wicket pair when play resumes tomorrow.

مرتضى منصور: اتحاد الكرة لم يعاقب كهربا بسبب الخطيب.. و3 لاعبين في الزمالك سيرحلون

عقد مرتضى منصور رئيس نادي الزمالك مؤتمرًا صحفيًا، صباح اليوم السبت، داخل مقر القلعة البيضاء بمنطقة ميت عقبة.

وكان مرتضى منصور قد أعلن، يوم الإثنين الماضي، عقد مؤتمر صحفي اليوم ليكشف به حقائق هامة تخص أحداث الفترة الماضية. طالع

مرتضى منصور خرج من السجن، يوم الأحد الماضي، بعد أن قضى عقوبة حبس لمدة شهر، في قضية سب محمود الخطيب رئيس النادي الأهلي.

وقرر رئيس الزمالك إقامة المؤتمر الصحفي عقب فوز الفارس الأبيض على المريخ السوداني، برباعية مقابل ثلاثة أهداف، في ختام دور المجموعات ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وقال مرتضى منصور في بداية المؤتمر: “أعتبر نفسي في عمرة وليس في سجن، وطالبت بأن يكون خروجي بالنهار لأكون أمام الجميع”.

وتابع: “هل تريدون الحقيقة؟ كنت أستحق الحبس، شخص تلقى أكثر من 200 مليون جنيه لإنشاء استاد وساعات وتحصل على المبلغ لحسابه”.

وأكمل: “لكن من تبرع بأموال للنادي هو من تعرض للعقاب، البعض كان يقول لي لماذا لم تحصل على 151 مليون جنيه لنفسك؟ قلت الأولى نادي الزمالك”.

واستكمل: “قدمت بلاغًا لله ضدك يا خطيب، ولكني أكرم منك وتنازلت”.

وأوضح: “طُلب مني تقسيط غرامة كهربا لاعب الأهلي على ٥ سنوات وقلت على جثتي، هذه أموال الزمالك وأمام ذلك كل البرامج الحقيرة تستضيفه”.

وأكد: “انتصرنا في كل قضايا نادي القرن الإفريقي، وطُلب مني أن أنسى هذه القضية، ولم أعتذر لأحد حفاظًا على كرامة الزملكاوية، وخرجت من كل الأزمات مرفوع الرأس من أجل الجماهير”.

 وأضاف: “هناك ٢ أو ٣ لاعبين ليسوا على مستوى الزمالك، وسوف يرحلون”. 

وأردف: “لماذا لم يعاقب كهربا حتى الآن من قبل اتحاد الكرة بعد واقعة مباراة القمة، لأن هناك دولة الخطيب، هل هناك من يخشى أن يعاقبه؟”.

وعن الأرقام المالية في عقود لاعبي الزمالك، فسر: “أمر طبيعي أن يضم الزمالك لاعبين بمقابل مادي وليس مجانًا، واجهنا ظروفًا صعبة من أزمة الحجز على أرصدة النادي ثم إيقاف قيد اللاعبين”.

Aqui também temos vários profissionais baianos. Eu, o João Paulo Sampaio, meu treinador de goleiros (Ricardo Palmeira), meu auxiliar técnico (Gilmey Aymberê). Espero usar esse conhecimento que tenho do Vitória a nosso favor – declarou o treinador.

– Conheço bem o time deles, o clube. Passei oito anos lá, fiz muitos amigos, então serão jogos especiais para mim. Foi onde pude fazer minha estreia no Profissional. Mas essa amizade fica fora do campo, essa semana não conversei com ninguém lá. Defendo as cores do Palmeiras e entro em campo pensando no título – comentou Yan, vice-artilheiro do torneio, com sete gols, atrás dos nove de Papagaio, seu companheiro no Verdão.

O Verdão já enfrentou o Vitória duas vezes nesta edição do torneio, na segunda fase, vencendo ambas ao impor 3 a 1, em Salvador, e 2 a 0, em Itu (SP).

– É uma final, o Vitória tem uma equipe tão qualificada quanto a nossa. Mostraram isso na semifinal, eliminando o Flamengo. Temos feito uma grande campanha, mas não queremos parar por aqui. Sabemos que precisaremos fazer mais dois grandes jogos para alcançarmos nosso objetivo – disse Yan.

ومن المنتظر أن يواصل الأهلي تحضيراته لمواجهة الرجاء بملعب العربي الزاولي، الذي اعتاد التدريب عليه منذ وصوله المغرب.

Promovido ao elenco principal do Tricolor pelo técnico Diego Aguirre, Antony colecionou bons jogos em Cotia antes de ser integrado ao CT da Barra Funda. Na base, fez parte do grupo que ficou com o vice-campeonato da Copinha, e levou os títulos da Copa do Brasil Sub-20 e da Supercopa da categoria, que garantiu vaga ao São Paulo na Libertadores de 2019.

– Foi um ano que realmente ficará marcado em minha vida. Disputamos grandes competições na base, fomos campeões e atingi meu maior sonho, que era chegar ao time profissional. Fico feliz com toda ajuda que recebi, sempre procurando melhorar e aperfeiçoar. Que seja um 2019 ainda melhor – festejou o garoto, que também coleciona passagens pelas categorias inferiores da Seleção Brasileira.

Entre os profissionais, Antony estreou já com André Jardine no comando. O garoto participou dos jogos contra Grêmio e Sport, no Morumbi, e ainda entrou em campo em São Januário, na derrota, por 2 a 0, para o Vasco.
