Smart stats

Mominul Haque became only the second Bangladesh batsman after Tamim Iqbal to hit centuries in two consecutive Tests. Tamim hit two hundreds in consecutive Tests against England in 2010.

Mominul’s 376 runs in this series are the highest by a Bangladesh batsman in a two-match Test series and the second highest ever by a Bangladesh batsman in any Test series. He is just four runs short of beating the 379 runs that Habibul Bashar scored in a three-Test series against Pakistan in 2003.

The 157-run partnership between Mominul and Tamim was Bangladesh’s highest for the third wicket in Tests.

Tamim faced 218 deliveries for his 70 runs in this innings; this was his slowest innings of fifty-plus runs in terms of strike-rate.

This was only the seventh instance of Bangladesh scoring 200 or more runs before the fall of their third wicket in a Test innings.

The unbeaten 57-run partnership between Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan was Bangladesh’s tenth fifty-plus partnership of the series. This equals Bangladesh’s record for the most fifty-plus partnership in a series. Before this, Bangladesh had ten fifty-plus partnership in a home-series against England in 2010.

Mominul Haque and Tamim Iqbal exhibited patience and character to shore up Bangladesh, and by the end of the day the home side had secured a handy 114-run lead in Mirpur. Mominul remained unbeaten on 126 after raising his second successive Test century.The pair chipped away at the 155-run deficit, and in the process laid to rest the unsettling trend of Bangladesh batsmen throwing their wickets away in the third innings of a Test match. Their record 157-run partnership for the third wicket ensured New Zealand were chasing the game at the end of the fourth day. Though the stand was broken in the final hour of play, Mominul will have the company of Shakib Al Hasan as Bangladesh head into the final day’s play.New Zealand made a promising start, but were unable to replicate their discipline from the first innings. Neil Wagner ran in hard and had both Anamul Haque and Marshall Ayub caught in the slips. On their first full day fielding under the Dhaka sun, he and his fellow seamers struggled to put pressure on the batsmen. The fielders were running low on energy as well, exemplified by Ish Sodhi’s keeling over on the boundary in the 66th over, and letting a cut from Mominul go through him.Tamim and Mominul hardly forced the issue, their interest fixed on orthodox Test match batting, extending the bowlers’ wait for a mistake. There were occasions when Mominul showcased his dominance from the first Test when he scored 181. New Zealand had not learned from Chittagong and continued to be either too short or too full, especially outside the off-stump and Mominul took full advantage, and became only the second batsman from Bangladesh to score back-to-back Test hundreds.More than his shots or the milestone, Mominul’s calm in trying conditions – exhibited best when he wasn’t flustered despite being stuck on 99 for ten deliveries – caught the eye. Brendon McCullum, the New Zealand captain, packed the off side and asked his bowlers to bowl wide of the off stump, trying to prey on the batsman’s nerves. Mominul did play away from his body twice, but would not be tempted when McCullum ran up and had a word with him. He waited, and when the ball was pitched up, drove straight, to collect the four that gave him a second Test century.He found excellent support in Tamim, who played within himself and concentrated on preserving his wicket, as would be expected of a senior batsman. He struck just four boundaries in his 218-ball innings. This was his second slowest fifty and has never scored so many runs with so few boundaries. The last time it happened was in Colombo on a thick, grassy outfield in March. He was careful with balls outside off stump, reining in his usually extravagant cover drives, and collecting his runs by tucking the bowlers on the leg side when the bowlers strayed on his pads. He looked gutted when Ross Taylor leapt up and clung safely to a top-edged cut, lingering before making the walk back.In the morning, New Zealand could only add 18 runs to their overnight total as they were bowled out for 437. Ish Sodhi was slow to react to BJ Watling’s call for a single and Mominul Haque scored a direct hit to break the 93-run ninth wicket stand.There were no heroics from the tenth-wicket stand, as Boult was trapped leg before by Abdur Razzak two overs after the ninth wicket fell.Shakib was the better of the two left-arm spinners though, finishing with 5 for 103 while Razzak took two for 96 in 23 overs. Debutant seamer Al-Amin Hossain and Nasir Hossain took a wicket each but Sohag Gazi and Rubel Hossain remained wicketless.

Dirigente do Fortaleza diz que Ligger não deve retornar ao clube

MatériaMais Notícias

Apesar do bom desempenho que o zagueiro Ligger apresentou com a camisa do Fortaleza em 2018 fazendo dupla com Diego Jussani no título da Série B, não deve ser para a disputa da elite em 2019 que o defensor de 30 anos de idade retornará ao Leão do Pici.

Segundo palavras de Sergio Papelin, executivo de futebol da equipe cearense, estava tudo pré-acordado junto ao empresário do zagueiro para que Ligger jogasse novamente no clube.

Porém, com a situação envolvendo a compra do Bragantino por parte do Red Bull Brasil, algo que possibilitará com que o atleta dispute a Série B do Campeonato Brasileiro, a opção do staff de Ligger foi de permanecer no futebol do interior de São Paulo.

– Se não fosse disputar a segunda divisão, ele (Ligger) seria emprestado ao Fortaleza. Já tínhamos a palavra do empresário que o colocaria aqui – disse o cartola em declaração captada pelo diário O Povo.

Pensando nas disputas em que o Fortaleza tem pela frente na temporada (Copa do Brasil, Copa do Nordeste, Cearense e Série A) sem contar com possíveis improvisações, o Fortaleza conta com cinco opções para o sistema defensivo: Patrick, Juan Quintero, Roger Carvalho, Nathan Ribeiro e Diguinho.

WI bullish after Dunedin fightback

ESPNcricinfo previews the second Test between New Zealand and West Indies in Wellington

Start time 10.30am (2130GMT previous day)Kane Williamson will replace Aaron Redmond at No. 3 after recovering from a thumb injury•AFP

The Big PictureDunedin ended as one of those Tests that would take some explaining if one day we find life on another planet: five days of sweat and toil, then it rains and everyone troops off with a draw. Yet it was also a terrific example of what makes Test cricket so brilliant. There were two double centuries, some artful swing bowling, some skillful spin, some terrific catches and some drops, plus just a little bit of controversy.After two-and-a-half days of being comprehensively outplayed there was a fear that, like in India, West Indies would not provide much of an opposition. Now they have shaken off the jetlag, chipped off the rust and – apart from the odd cold – started to get used to New Zealand weather. While New Zealand skulked out of Dunedin frustrated and bemoaning their luck, West Indies had a spring in their step not only because the rain saved them but also because they helped save themselves.Now, though, they need to play as they did for the second half of that Test all over again – and from the start. Consistency is what coach Ottis Gibson and captain Darren Sammy are striving for, to make performances of Darren Bravo’s ilk more the norm than the surprise.They remain second-favourites in this series, largely due to the problems in their pace-bowling attack. The quicks are likely to get a pitch to help them in Wellington, but it remains to be seen whether Tino Best, Shannon Gabriel and maybe Sheldon Cottrell have the patience and skill to exploit them. Sammy, seemingly recovering well from his injury, could be the man best suited.In the corresponding Test against England in March, following another long spell in the field in Dunedin, New Zealand were slow starters (it is the last time England reached 400 in a Test). There may be a little bit of neither the batsmen or the bowlers really wanting first use of the pitch, one lot because it could move all over the place and the second because of their workload. Some spicy pitches, though, are just what Test cricket needs.Form guide
(Most recent first)
New Zealand DDDLL
West Indies DLLWWWatch out forTrent Boult bowled some superbly skillful spells in Dunedin – he also bowled a lot of overs. Both in Dunedin and early in the year Auckland his efforts with the ball have deserved more than a draw. He wants a chance to rekindle the team song. “The boys are always eager to sing that and a handful of guys haven’t actually sung that song yet.” Boult has shown the ability to swing the ball when others struggle; in helpful conditions he could be lethal.Darren Sammy came into the first Test under significant pressure after a poor series in India and he responded impressively with bat and ball. Before his injury he was the most consistent West Indies seamer and his 80 in the second innings was a vital part of saving the Test. On flat pitches he is not a third-seamer in Test cricket, but if the Wellington surface offers some help for those who find a consistent line and length he may just be the man.Team newsKane Williamson scored 140 in a Hawke Cup match over the weekend and came through the bowling and fielding aspects of the outing. He will replace Aaron Redmond at No. 3. Elsewhere it is likely to be as-you-were with Brendon McCullum favouring a balanced attack.New Zealand (probable) 1 Hamish Rutherford, 2 Peter Fulton, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Brendon McCullum (capt), 6 Corey Anderson, 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Ish Sodhi, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Neil Wagner, 11 Trent BoultWest Indies’ pace-bowling options are limited. Shannon Gabriel was poor in Dunedin but Sammy suggested that they will show faith in him. Apart from Kieran Powell all the batsmen made at least one contribution in the first Test although Denesh Ramdin needs to produce more at No. 7.West Indies (probable) 1 Kieran Powell, 2 Kirk Edwards, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Marlon Samuels, 5 Shivnarine Chanderpaul, 6 Narsingh Deonarine, 7 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 8 Darren Sammy (capt), 9 Shane Shillingford, 10 Tino Best, 11 Shannon GabrielPitch and conditionsIt’s green. How green it remains on Wednesday morning will be the key factor. Often there is the promise of more than actually eventuates. Either way, the captain winning the toss is almost certain to bowl. The forecast, as often for Wellington, is mixed with the first day set to be perfect but the risk of some rain later in the match. All the more reason for a lively pitch.Stats and trivia Craig McMillan, the former New Zealand batsman, was drafted into the current set-up as a batting coach for the two warm-up days to this Test as Bob Carter was away at a wedding. New Zealand have not won a Test at the Basin Reserve in their last seven attempts since thrashing Bangladesh in 2008. In 2006 they beat West Indies by 10 wickets. New Zealand have two more chances to avoid 2013 being only the third time they have not won a Test in a calendar year having played at least 10 matches.Quotes”We’ve seen some very good spinners come to New Zealand in recent history and it’s not necessarily a place where they really prosper. I wouldn’t be too upset if they played two spinners. I would be very surprised if they did.”
“I think they were playing their best cricket and yet still they didn’t get the victory they deserved. We are keen to put pressure on them.”

Após treino fechado, Willian aparece trabalhando no campo no Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

A imprensa não pôde acompanhar nenhum minuto do treinamento do Palmeiras nesta sexta-feira, na Academia de Futebol, mas, ao final da manhã, foi possível ver Willian no gramado. Em processo de recuperação depois de cirurgia no joelho direito, em dezembro, o atacante chegou a tocar na bola.

Não é a primeira vez que o jogador faz esse trabalho, mas foi a sua primeira aparição pública. Acompanhado de Jomar Ottoni, coordenador de fisioterapia do clube, Willian deu piques, alterno velocidade e movimentações e até bateu na bola com os dois pés.

O trabalho faz parte ainda do processo de recuperação do atacante. Ele rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho direito em 25 de novembro, quando deu o passe para Deyverson fazer o gol da vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Vasco, que garantiu o título brasileiro ao Palmeiras. Foi operado em dezembro e nem foi inscrito no Campeonato Paulista ou na Libertadores, já que, na melhor das hipóteses, só volta a atuar depois da Copa América.

– O Willian vem se recuperando muito bem. Temos acompanhado a evolução dele e torcemos para melhorar e voltar o quanto antes. É uma peça importante para nós. Sabemos o potencial que ele tem e o cara importante que é para o grupo. Torço para dar umaacelerada no processo e estar no nosso grupo logo – disse o meia Zé Rafael, que concedeu entrevista coletiva nesta sexta-feira.

Além de Willian, os jornalistas puderam ver, também, os goleiros no gramado da Academia de Futebol. Não foi possível ver nada da atividade comandada pelo técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari. Os treinamentos de sábado e domingo também serão completamente fechados.

O próximo compromisso do Palmeiras é na quinta-feira, às 23h (horário de Brasília), diante do Melgar, no Peru, pela quinta rodada do Grupo F da Libertadores. O Verdão está em segundo lugar na chave, com nove pontos, um abaixo do argentino San Lorenzo.

Akram Khan wants more matches for Bangladesh

Akram Khan, the BCB’s new cricket operations committee chairman, has promised to bring about more tours to India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka

Akram Khan, the new BCB cricket operations committee chairman, wants to improve relations with other countries in the subcontinent•BCB

Akram Khan, the former Bangladesh captain, has kicked off his role as BCB’s new cricket operations committee chairman by seeking to bring more solidarity with India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. He was given the most influential cricketing position in BCB after he was elected as director unopposed last month.The cricket operations committee is in overall charge of the Bangladesh team as well as the Bangladesh A side, and Akram believes there ought to be more tours to the neighbouring countries. The senior side has never toured India, while their visits to Sri Lanka have substantially reduced over the last five years. The BCB’s relationship with the PCB is at rock bottom after they failed to send over a side to Pakistan twice last year.”I want to build more understanding with the neighbouring countries before we go to Australia and New Zealand,” Akram told the Bangla daily . “If we can arrange more A team, Academy and Under-19 matches with them regularly, we can hold more international matches in that way. They cooperated with us before we became a Test nation. So why not now? I will try hard to develop relations with them. We have to play regularly with them, and at the same time, reduce our differences.”Akram however said that he would have to arrange for more matches outside the new Future Tours Programme which isn’t favourable to Bangladesh, and added that the previous board’s bargaining capabilities left a lot to be desired.”ICC sends a primary list to all countries before the FTP is formed. I know for a fact that New Zealand were initially given 60-odd Tests but they raised it to 85. But I was surprised to see that we didn’t make the effort [to increase the number of Tests],” he said.Akram, who had been a chief selector for two years and a selector for four years before that, has been credited for bringing much needed stability to the side, as he hasn’t forced many changes.”I will try to give the Bangladesh team the best possible situation to play in. I want the players to be comfortable. At most times we only look at the playing side, but I want to make sure of the events before and after the cricket.”

Corinthians deve ter Avelar na final, mas mostra pessimismo com Urso

MatériaMais Notícias

O lateral-esquerdo Danilo Avelar deve reforçar o Corinthians no clássico contra o São Paulo, domingo, pela volta da final do Paulistão. Por outro lado, o volante Júnior Urso continua em tratamento e a tendência é de que ele seja desfalque na decisão.

Avelar perdeu os últimos jogos devido a um incômodo no joelho esquerdo. O lateral ficou em São Paulo para realizar tratamento no CT Joaquim Grava e mostrou boa evolução.

Urso, por sua vez, sofreu uma lesão no músculo adutor da coxa direita durante o clássico contra o São Paulo no domingo passado, na ida da final. Ele também permaneceu em tratamento na capital e foi desfalque na derrota por 1 a 0 para a Chapecoense.

ريال مدريد يضع الخطة "ب" لصفقة مبابي

يعد الفرنسي كيليان مبابي مهاجم باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي، أولوية مطلقة لنادي ريال مدريد الإسباني، لتعزيز الهجوم.

ويتأزم وضع مبابي مع ناديه باريس سان جيرمان، بعد قراره بعدم تفعيل بند التمديد الاختياري لعام إضافي، مع سعي النادي الفرنسي لبيعه في انتقالات الصيف الجارية.

وأشارت إذاعة “كادينا سير” الإسبانية إلى أن ريال مدريد يتحرك في حالة عدم انضمام مبابي أو استمرار تأجيل انتقاله للنادي الملكي.

يوضح التقرير أن الخطة البديلة لريال مدريد، هي ضم الصربي دوشان فلاهوفيتش مهاجم يوفنتوس الإيطالي.

في الوقت الحالي، لا يملك كارلو أنشيلوتي مدرب ريال مدريد، سوى فينيسيوس ورودريجو وخوسيلو في الهجوم.

فلاهوفيتش هو الخطة البديلة المثالية لريال مدريد، وهو واحد من أفضل المهاجمين رقم “9”. 

كلف فلاهوفيتش يوفنتوس أكثر من 80 مليون يورو، ورحيله لن يكون رخيصًا، لكنه يظل خيارًا لريال مدريد في حال عدم إتمام التعاقد مع مبابي.

علاقة فلاهوفيتش متوترة أيضًا بمديره الفني ماسيمليانو أليجري، مدرب يوفنتوس، وهو ما فتح باب التكهنات أمام رحيله، حيث سعى تشيلسي كذلك للتعاقد معه.
