A preview of the first eliminator between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad in Delhi

The Preview by Rachna Shetty21-May-2013Match factsWednesday, May 22, 2013
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Big pictureThe first eliminator of IPL 2013 features two unlikely, yet similar competitors, in Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The thread of similarity extends beyond the ‘underdog’ status.They’ve had similar journeys to the playoffs. Both sides have been strong at home, with Royals finishing unbeaten and Sunrisers losing just one game, to Chennai Super Kings. Their record away from home this season has also been similar. Royals have managed two away wins in eight games, while Sunrisers have won three.Heading into the first eliminator of the IPL, that’s where the similarities between the two teams end. Royals sealed their spot in the last four in great style, with a shock win against Chennai Super Kings. The losses in their next two matches, however, meant that they were deprived of a top-two finish and another shot at qualifying for the final. Heavy losses in their last two games and the cloud of the spot-fixing scandal wouldn’t have done their confidence any good, but they are a determined side that have converted a good start to the tournament into a top-three finish.Sunrisers, on the other hand, are riding a wave of confidence, with two wins in their last two games. They’ve played a largely unchanged side throughout the tournament but more importantly, have responded well to pressure, especially in the final game against Kolkata Knight Riders, where Darren Sammy guided the side home after the side had come very close to imploding.The two teams match up evenly on the field. Sunrisers have a much better bowling attack compared to Royals, who have relied on purple cap-holder James Faulkner and Shane Watson. In terms of batting, however, Royals are clearly stronger. As Royals look to emerge winners in the first eliminator, Brad Hogg and Shaun Tait might get a look-in to strengthen the side’s bowling with experience.Form guideRajasthan Royals LLWWW (most recent first)
Sunrisers Hyderabad WWLWLIn the spotlightShane Watson’s importance to Rajasthan Royals simply cannot be played down. His return to bowling has opened up an extra slot in the team for them, while his batting set up some of their biggest wins this season. Royals have used him smartly, pushing him down the order in tough chases, against Super Kings for instance, or using his big-hitting skills to set up quick starts at the top of the order.Given their lack of experience, Sunrisers’ young Indian players have grown with their performances in the season. Although he has drawn criticism for his slow strike-rate, Hanuma Vihari has played to the set role of holding one end up to stem wickets. Biplab Samantray showed maturity as he guided Sunrisers to a competitive total against Royals. Legspinner Karan Sharma, too, has also done well in the opportunities he has been given, picking up 10 wickets from 12 matches at an average of 20.6 and an economy rate of 6.27.Stats and trivia Shane Watson needs four more wickets to reach a milestone of 100 T20 wickets James Faulkner is the only player in T20 cricket to have picked up five wickets against the same team (Sunrisers Hyderabad) twice in a season/tournament. Dale Steyn’s economy rate of 5.65 is the second-best in the tournament, among bowlers who have bowled more than 30 overs. Sunil Narine leads the list with an economy rate of 5.46Sunrisers have restricted their opponents to a score of 130 or less in 10 of their 16 league matchesQuotes”I believe the reason we have succeeded as a group is because this team is not about any individual. We all gel together and enjoy each other’s success. We stuck to our plans, executed them well and played good cricket.”

يرى روبيرتو مارتينيز المدير الفني لمنتخب البرتغال، أن تواجد النجم كريستيانو رونالدو قائد الفريق، في الدوري السعودي، سيعود بالنفع على المنتخب.

بعد مسيرة رائعة في أوروبا، فسخ رونالدو عقده مع مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي في ديسمبر الماضي وانضم إلى النصر السعودي.

ويتواجد رونالدو أساسيًا في تشكيل البرتغال أمام البوسنة والهرسك بالتصفيات المؤهلة ليورو 2024.

وقال مارتينيز في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “اللعب في ناد غير أوروبي يكون في بعض الأحيان ميزة عند اللعب في المنتخب”.

وأضاف: “لدينا ثلاث طرق لتحليل اللاعب: الجودة الفردية والخبرة والالتزام، التزام كريستيانو رونالدو كامل”.

وتابع مدرب البرتغال: “إنه مثال لغرفة تبديل الملابس، ومثال لكرة القدم البرتغالية والعالمية، خاض 198 مباراة مع المنتخب البرتغالي”.

وشدد مارتينيز: “كريستيانو وبيبي هما مثالان على كرة القدم البرتغالية، ونحن بحاجة إليهما لنقل كل الخبرة والحكمة إلى أصغر اللاعبين”.

وأشار: “مثل أي لاعب آخر، يحتاج رونالدو إلى تدريب جيد من أجل اللعب، نحن بحاجة إلى بيئة عالية الأداء مع المنافسة للاعبينا”.

The cricket at Edgbaston – because of the weather – was dreary and uncertain, but India eventually registered their first win over Pakistan in Champions Trophy

Just like most of the cricket played in this hyped rivalry, the cricket at Edgbaston – this time because of the weather – was dreary and uncertain, but India eventually registered their first win over Pakistan in Champions Trophy. However, it was a dead rubber as India were already guaranteed the top slot in the group, and Pakistan the bottom.It was England overhead all right with all the rain, but underfoot the Edgbaston pitch suited the bowlers from Asia, where a big portion of Birmingham’s population has come from. R Ashwin bowled slow and flighted the ball and turned it square, Ravindra Jadeja bowled fast and still turned the odd ball square, and Pakistan batsmen capitulated in what began as a full game but was reduced to 40 overs a side after two rain intervals.Their total of 165 all out was adjusted to 167 because of the rain break during Pakistan’s innings. India got off to a solid start in response, and it mattered little that the rain eventually brought the target down to 122 in 22 overs. India won in 19.1 overs.Rain played a critical part in Pakistan’s innings. Pakistan did lose the toss, which gave India the best conditions in the rain, but Misbah-ul-Haq said he would have batted first anyway.Pakistan were recovering from the early wicket of Nasir Jamshed through Mohammad Hafeez and Kamran Akmal when the first shower kept the players off for 16 minutes. Hafeez came out and got out first ball, distracted by a falling towel to the left of the sight screen. He didn’t pull out of the shot, though. Kamran Akmal tried an ill-advised drive against Ashwin’s turn soon, and by the time a bigger rain break arrived Pakistan were 70 for 3 after 19 overs. The loss of three wickets at that break meant their 40-over score wouldn’t be adjusted by much under the Duckworth-Lewis calculations.The rest, Jadeja took care of. Misbah-ul-Haq and Asad Shafiq looked fluent in a 54-run partnership, but Jadeja’s unerring accuracy put paid to their plans. His first over went for three, the second for one, when the three previous overs had gone for seven, four and seven without a shot hit in anger. In Jadeja’s third, Misbah gave himself too much room. He backs himself on that shot and often the spinner loses his rhythm, but Jadeja remained flat and straight, and beat Misbah – who was not retreating – on the inside edge to hit the top of the leg stump.Ishant Sharma, clearly not at his best, got lucky when he got an edge from Asad Shafiq to a leg-side half-volley. However, without the DRS challenge that he went for, this luck wouldn’t have counted for much. In the next over, Jadeja trapped Shoaib Malik with a quick arm ball, and Pakistan had gone from 110 for 3 to 139 for 6.With a long tail in tow, Pakistan were now a bit directionless and India superb in the field. A low catch, a sizzling direct hit, and some decent last overs later, Pakistan were bowled out in 39.4 overs. Now they were up against an opening combination that had batted 36.5 overs with each other in the last two games. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma threatened to become the first Indian opening combination to post three successive century stands, but Rohit chipped to midwicket when the score was 58 in 10.4 overs.By then, though, the openers had put India far ahead of the D/L par score. There had been a rain break before the wicket, there would be one after, and by that time the Pakistan fans would leave their team’s fate in the hands of rain, the only factor that could save them from defeat. The rain relented, though, to allow India just enough time to finish the readjusted chase off.

أثار لاعب وسط الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، فرانك كيسيه، الجدل حول مستقبله مع العملاق الكتالوني خلال إجازته الصيفية الحالية في كوت ديفوار.

ويلعب كيسيه مع برشلونة منذ بداية الموسم الماضي قادمًا من ميلان بالمجان، وينتهي عقده في يونيو 2026، ولكن هناك شائعات حول رحيله إلى إنتر ميلان.

والتقطت الكاميرات كيسيه خلال الساعات القليلة الماضية في نزهة مع بعض أصدقائه وهو يرتدي قميص بايرن ميونخ رغم عدم انتهاء عقده مع برشلونة.

ولم يكتف الإيفواري الدولي بهذا فقط بل كان يرتدي شورت يخص نادي ريال مدريد بالرقم الفيروزي 8 الخاص باللاعب، توني كروس، في موسم 2017/2018.

وربطت الصحيفة ارتداء كيسيه هذا القميص بأنه ربما تلميح من اللاعب الإفريقي بإمكانية الانتقال إلى بايرن ميونخ قبل بداية الموسم الجديد 2023/2024.

Fifties from captain Bismah Maroof and Nida Dar helped Pakistan Women to a 157-run victory over Ireland Women in Dublin

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Jul-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsFifties from captain Bismah Maroof and Nida Dar helped Pakistan Women to a 157-run victory over Ireland Women in Dublin. After electing to bat, Pakistan’s openers laid a solid platform with a 47-run stand. However, three wickets fell in the space of 22 runs to push Pakistan on the back foot, with opening fast bowler Amy Kenealy picking up two of the three scalps. Maroof and Dar then combined to put on a 181-run partnership for the fourth wicket, which put Pakistan in control. Despite a few more wickets falling towards the end, Pakistan were able to reach a healthy 280 for 7, with Kenealy and Kim Garth each picking up three wickets.Ireland’s chase started inauspiciously, with Javeria Rauf snaring Clare Shillington for 6. Despite some small partnerships, none of the Ireland batsmen were able to put up an imposing score, and they crumbled through the middle overs thanks to a disciplined bowling effort from Pakistan. Only two batsmen, twins Isobel and Cecelia Joyce, were able to pass 20. Sadia Yousuf’s three wickets towards the end only hastened the inevitable as Ireland collapsed to 123.The second and last ODI of the series will be played on Friday. Pakistan had won the one-off Twenty20 earlier this week.

Em momento delicado dentro do Sport, o goleiro Magrão perdeu o posto de titular na rodada passada contra o Afogados e causou surpresa na torcida. Em seu lugar, o técnico Guto Ferreira promoveu a entrada de Mailson.

Apesar do susto de ver o ídolo no banco, o treinador tranquilizou os fãs e garantiu que está ‘preservando’ a imagem do arqueiro.

‘Magrão é um dos grandes ídolos do clube e sua qualidade é indiscutível. O momento foi simplesmente para de poupar um pouquinho. De dar um pouco de tempo para, com treinamento, retomar a sua qualidade. Ele estava sofrendo críticas desnecessárias’, analisou.

Falhas

Nas sete partidas que disputou na temporada, Magrão foi duramente criticado em duas oportunidades. Contra a Tombense e no clássico diante do Santa Cruz, o goleiro deixou a desejar nos gols sofridos e passou a lidar com a ira momentânea da torcida.

Resta saber se diante do Salgueiro, no longevo dia 13 de março, o ídolo da torcida vai retomar o posto ou Guto Ferreira irá colocar o jovem Mailson.

Hot Spot inventor Warren Brennan has called for protective coatings to be removed from bats in order to achieve the most accurate thermal imaging results

Brydon Coverdale10-Aug-2013

Hot Spot inventor Warren Brennan has called for protective coatings to be removed from bats in order to achieve the most accurate thermal imaging results. Brennan has broken his silence on the Hot Spot debate of the past week, releasing a statement that did not mention silicone-tape but said the thermal signatures of cricket bats were “unquestionably” affected by their protective coatings.A number of edges have failed to show up on Hot Spot during the ongoing Ashes series, leaving the players uncertain of whether to use reviews or not. Following the Old Trafford Test, Channel Nine in Australia reported the ICC was investigating the possibility that players were using silicone-tape on the edges of their bats during this series in a deliberate effort to fool Hot Spot.However, the ICC dismissed those claims and the captains of both sides rubbished the idea that any of their players would set out to cheat the DRS. Brennan, who had initially declined to comment on the debate, has now released a statement in which he said that his company, BBG Sports, had tested a range of the latest cricket bats over the past week and found that their protective coating can reduce the likelihood of edges showing up on Hot Spot.”Following the Manchester Test match earlier this week, BBG Sports analysed contentious Hot Spot decisions from the Ashes series and decided to purchase several of the latest generation of cricket bats to undertake thorough testing,” the BBG statement said. “BBG Sports observed that the majority of bats had some form of protective coating that would wrap around onto the edges of the bat.”Strangely enough, this protective coating would cover only half of the edge of the bat and not the entire edge of the bat. BBG Sports believed this could cause the front edge of the bat to have a different thermal signature than the back edge of the bat. BBG Sports’ own internal testing over the past three days utilizing the latest generation of cricket bats has, in their opinion, provided conclusive findings.”The type and thickness of the protective coating unquestionably affects the thermal signature of the Hot Spot system. In layman’s terms, the protective coating definitely diminishes Hot Spot marks. BBG Sports advised the ICC earlier this week on these initial findings and has committed to further testing over the coming weeks.”BBG Sports believes that in order to achieve optimum Hot Spot results the removal of protective coating from bats and edges needs to occur. This will allow for the best thermal signatures between cricket balls and natural timber cricket bats.”However, the ICC is unlikely to enforce any such rules, given that batsmen have been using protective coatings on their bats for many years. Earlier this week, Australia’s captain Michael Clarke said that every bat he had owned since he was about 12 had featured a protective layer in order to increase the bat’s longevity, and most bats these days incorporate some form of such protection.The ICC’s umpires manager, Simon Taufel, also said earlier this week that for the past three years, Test umpires have carried out random bat inspections roughly 12 times per Test and not once has a batsman been found to have used silicone-tape in an attempt to trick the technology. Taufel said if such tape was found on the edges, a player would be liable for a breach of the Code of Conduct.Hot Spot was again the centre of attention on the first morning of the Chester-le-Street Test, but this time the system worked as intended. Joe Root was adjudged not out by the on-field umpire Tony Hill but after Australia asked for a review, a faint edge showed up on Hot Spot and the decision was overturned.

O meia Pedrinho treinou sem restrições junto com o grupo nesta sexta-feira, no CT Joaquim Grava. Preservado do jogo contra o Ceará, na última quarta-feira, o camisa 38 aparentou não ter mais dores no ombro esquerdo e deve ser usado por Fábio Carille no jogo deste domingo, contra o Oeste, na Arena.

Contra o time cearense, em Fortaleza, Carille optou pela entrada de Vagner Love no lugar de Pedrinho. Nesta sexta, Love ficou apenas na parte interna do CT, junto com os demais jogadores, para fazer uma atividade regenerativa.

O lateral-direito Fagner, outro a ficar na parte interna do CT, está suspenso do confronto deste domingo. Michel Macedo, seu substituto, participou da atividade para os reservas sob o olhar atento de Carille.
