Windmill turns its last: Alan Richardson has retired from professional cricket•Getty Images

Alan Richardson, one of the Championship’s most reliable performers in recent years, has confirmed his retirement from cricket in order to take up the role of bowling coach at Warwickshire. He replaces Graeme Welch, announced as Derbyshire’s new performance director earlier in the day, and Richardson’s departure, even at the age of 38, will leave a huge hole for Worcestershire to fill.In four seasons at New Road, he claimed 254 first-class wickets at 22.07. Richardson had been due to play on for one final season but, after Welch’s move created a vacancy, he will instead make an immediate switch, rejoining the county he played for between 1998 and 2004.”I have been working on my coaching qualifications for some time and, whilst I had planned to have one more season as a player with Worcestershire, this is a fantastic opportunity for me in this next stage of my career with Warwickshire,” Richardson said.”I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at New Road and am grateful for the understanding that the management and coaching team at Worcestershire have shown since I informed them of my decision to retire early. I am looking forward to the challenge ahead and cannot wait to get stuck into working with one of the finest bowling attacks in the country.”Richardson and his distinctive “windmill” action have been part of county cricket for almost two decades, during which time he claimed 569 first-class wickets at 26.37. After starting his career with Derbyshire in 1994, Richardson had respectable spells with Warwickshire and Middlesex before joining Worcestershire in 2010 and enjoying the best period of his career, being named one of Wisden‘s five Cricketers of the Year in 2012. Ungainly as his method of delivery was, Warwickshire’s next generation could do worse than tilting at windmills.Warwickshire have some of the best bowling resources in the country for Richardson to work with, including England internationals Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin, and Lions candidates Chris Wright and Keith Barker. He will have a hard act to follow, however. Welch, known as “Pop”, was highly regarded for moulding the attack that led Warwickshire to the 2012 Championship.Dougie Brown, Warwickshire’s director of cricket, said: “Alan is someone who we know very well from his previous spell with Warwickshire and he is respected throughout the game. His experience and knowledge will help continue the excellent work that ‘Pop’ has done over recent times with our bowling unit and I am looking forward to working with him.”

Montenegro, Moreira Salles e Felipe Neto: Botafogo acumula dívidas

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo disponibilizou, por meio do site oficial, o balanço financeiro de 2018 na última segunda-feira. As contas mostram aquilo que já vem sendo notado há certo tempo: o Alvinegro sofre com problemas nas contas. Além disto, os números mostraram que o clube de General Severiano deve cerca de R$ 80 milhões a pessoas físicas, como Felipe Neto, Carlos Augusto Montenegro e os Irmãos Moreira Salles.

As três figuras são as mais importantes porque tratam de pessoas com alguma importância no Botafogo. Felipe Neto é dono da Vigia de Preço, empresa que patrocina o clube na atual temporada, e da Neto’s, marca que esteve presente no ano passado. Os Irmãos Moreira Salles, por sua vez, são conhecidos dos torcedores, já que ambos possuem interesse em investir financeiramente no clube; Montenegro foi presidente da instituição entre 1994 e 1996.

Ao todo, de acordo com o balanço financeiro, deve R$ 81,3 milhões a pessoas físicas. Os que possuem valores maiores são Walther Moreira Salles, R$ 25,4 milhões, e João Moreira Salles, R$ 23,2 milhões, ambos com os vencimentos previstos para novembro de 2047. Para Montenegro, o débito é de R$ 11 milhões, que tinham a data inicial de vencimento para abril desse ano.

Com Felipe Neto, o valor é menor. O Botafogo deve R$ 170 mil ao youtuber, que se prontificou nas redes sociais após a divulgação do balanço, afirmando que a dívida foi perdoada, mas que não deu tempo para que isto entrasse de forma atualizada nas contas divulgadas pelo clube.

Depois dos irmãos Moreira Salles, o maior valor que o Botafogo deve é para Marcos Vinicius Secundino. Em 2014, ainda na gestão de Maurício Assumpção, o empresário havia feito um empréstimo para o clube. Inicialmente, o vencimento era para fevereiro de 2015. Por conta dos juros de 2,2% ao mês, a dívida aumentou e hoje está no valor de R$ 11,7 milhões.

NZC not worried over power takeover – Snedden

Martin Snedden, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) director, has said that the possibility of the ICC handing over power to the Big Three – India, England and Australia – and allowing them to control the game’s finances may not be a bad thing for world cricket

‘Don’t jump to the conclusion what they’re doing is not good for world cricket’ – Snedden•Getty Images

Martin Snedden, the New Zealand Cricket (NZC) director, has said that the possibility of the ICC handing over power to the Big Three – India, England and Australia – and allowing them to control the game’s finances may not be a bad thing for world cricket.The proposals from the ICC’s Financial & Commercial Affairs “working group position paper” seek, among other things, to scrap the central FTP agreements between the ICC and its members and replace it with bilateral agreements between member nations. It led to concerns that the other Test playing nations, including New Zealand, might not get the share they deserve, at the expense of the Big Three, but Snedden was confident that NZC’s interests will be enhanced if the latest proposals are approved.”Do we [NZC] have power at the ICC table? No, not a hell of a lot. Do we have the ability to influence and persuade? A little bit. The critical thing is to identify the things most important to us. That means ensuring the stability of our playing programme and revenue generation,” Snedden told the .The reason the FTP is to be removed from central ICC control, according to the position paper, is because “the draft FTP, as it stands, contains a large number of unviable tours.” Cricket Australia, the ECB and the BCCI it is stated, are “committing” to enter into FTP agreements from 2015 to 2023.”It’s a fundamental outcome for us to be left with a playing programme which sees us play all the Test-playing countries in a four-year cycle like in the FTP. Ratification of the existing schedule would be an excellent outcome. It’s early stages but we’ve got a good chance of doing that. I need to stress there’s nothing wrong with India, Australia and England working together to produce something for everyone,” Snedden said.”Don’t jump to the conclusion what they’re doing is not good for world cricket. Get this right and the FTP playing programme can be extended to 2023 and we can line it up with ICC events like the World Cup and World T20. That’d be a stable platform to work from.”The BCCI continues to generate the majority of the income for the ICC and though Snedden admitted that it will be more of the same, he said that cricket boards will have to embrace India’s control.”I’ve walked back into a different world from what I left in 2007. When I exited, there was no IPL and the broadcasting rights were headed in India’s direction but that has escalated over six years,” Snedden said.”Whatever the formula reached, India will take a greater slice. I think that’s fair because they create 70-80 per cent of the revenue. That’s not unusual in the world of sporting rights agreements. The Indian market’s escalated out of proportion to everyone else since last time.”We need to remove any doubt over their involvement in 2015-23 tours. If they’re fully committed to the programme, that puts the ICC negotiating team in a strong position to exploit commercial rights.”The proposals will be presented to the ICC Executive Board during its quarterly meeting in Dubai on January 28 and 29.

أرتيتا يرد على انتقادات جمهور آرسنال بشأن إصابة تيمبر أمام نوتينجهام

تحدث ميكيل أرتيتا، المدير الفني لفريق آرسنال، عن إصابة الوافد الجديد يوريان تيمبر في مباراة اليوم ضد نوتينجهام فورست.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة الأولى من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، حيث فاز آرسنال بهدفين لهدف.

ولم يتمكن تيمبر من استكمال اللقاء مع الجانرز، حيث اضطر إلى الخروج في الدقيقة 50.

وبدا تيمبر وهو يعاني من مشكلة بعد اصطدامه مع برينان جونسون، لاعب الخصم في الشوط الأول، قبل أن يستأنف اللعب ولكنه بدا غير قادر على المواصلة، واضطر إلى الخروج في الشوط الثاني.

وانتقد جمهور آرسنال استمرار تيمبر في اللعب، رغم تعرضه للإصابة في الشوط الأول من اللقاء، ولكن أرتيتا فسّر الأمر.

وقال أرتيتا في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ميرور” الإنجليزية: “فحص الطبيب، تيمبر، في البداية، وبدوا سعداء باستمراره في اللعب خلال الشوط الثاني”.

وأضاف: “ولكن على الفور، بعد ذلك، قام بحركة ما وكان يتألم، سيتعين علينا تقييمه”.

Colunista afirma que árbitro e VAR em Corinthians x Grêmio 'viram aquilo que lhes convinha'

MatériaMais Notícias

Se por parte dos integrantes do Grêmio a postura foi de reclamações mais comedidas sobre a arbitragem do jogo frente ao Corinthians em Itaquera, o mesmo não pode se dizer do colunista Cacalo Silveira Martins do site GaúchaZH.

Logo no título do texto que foi publicado nessa segunda-feira (13), ele deixa muito claro a sua posição de total insatisfação com o posicionamento da equipe de arbitragem capitaneada em campo por Marcelo de Lima Henrique e no VAR por Thiago Duarte Peixoto: “Oárbitro e o VAR viram aquilo que lhes convinha”.

Na sequência de sua coluna, Cacalo discorre de maneira bastante taxativa indicando que a arbitragem cometeu erros não apenas de avaliação dos lances, mas também de interpretação da regra:

– Foram de uma vergonha constrangedora os erros de arbitragem no jogo do Grêmio contra o Corinthians, no Itaquerão. E esses equívocos decidiram a partida. No lance capital do pênalti, houve desacertos em sequência e primários. A presença do tal VAR somente transferiu e acrescentou mais pessoas a errarem juntos. A tecnologia seria ótima se aqueles que a comandam não fossem excessivamente incompetentes. Se aquilo corresponde a braço junto ao corpo, precisam de lentes. O braço do jogador corintiano impediu a passagem da bola, e não o corpo – escreveu Cacalo.

– Se o árbitro marcou o pênalti, depois desmarcou, a bola deveria voltar para o Grêmio. Isso caracteriza até erro de direito. Conhece a regra e não a aplica. E a vergonha foi ainda mais escancarada, porque o técnico do time rival percebeu tal equívoco e falou publicamente. (…) Anteriormente, diziam que o árbitro é um ser humano passível de erros, mas agora são três ou quatro pessoas a errarem juntas, acompanhadas do VAR. Cada um enxerga o que quiser. O árbitro e o VAR viram aquilo que lhes convinha – completou o colunista.

سبورت توضح موقف ماركوس ألونسو من الرحيل عن برشلونة

أوضحت صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية، موقف ظهير أيسر الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، ماركوس ألونسو، من الرحيل عن قلعة “كامب نو”.

وخرجت الكثير من الشائعات في الفترة الماضية عن إمكانية بيع ألونسو بسبب عدم تسجيله في قائمة الفريق الأول لأزمات مالية يعاني برشلونة منها.

لم يحل نادي برشلونة أزمة اللعب المالي النظيف مع الدوري الإسباني وبالتالي فهو لا يستطيع تسجيل بعض اللاعبين مثل إينيجو مارتينيز، إينياكي بينيا وأليخاندرو بالدي بالإضافة إلى ألونسو.

ومع ذلك وبحسب التقرير أن ألونسو لا يفكر في الرحيل عن برشلونة ورفض الاستماع لأي عروض خارجية للرحيل رغم عدم وضوح الرؤية لمستقبله مع الفريق الكتالوني.

كذلك الجهاز الفني لنادي برشلونة بقيادة، تشافي هيرنانديز، يرى اللاعب ضمن خططه في الموسم الحالي بعد أدائه الجيد في الموسم الماضي خاصة في مركز المدافع.

ما قد يسهل مهمة برشلونة في تسجيل ألونسو هو رحيل سيرجينيو ديست الرسمي إلى إيندهوفن في الدوري الهولندي وكذلك التجهيز لرحيل كليموه لينجليه.

'Absolutely terrific' Thisara delivers again

Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews called Perera’s match-changing 80 not out “absolutely brilliant” and praised Perera’s all-round abilities

Mohammad Isam17-Feb-2014

Match-winning rescue acts are not new to Thisara Perera•AFP

In early January, Sri Lanka’s chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya recommended that Thisara Perera be denied the no-objection certificate for the Big Bash League. A month later, Thisara became Sri Lanka’s saviour in the first ODI after having already played a pivotal role in the 2-0 win in the preceding Twenty20 series.In the intervening time, he worked overtime in the nets back in Colombo and played two first-class matches for Colts. He believes the extra training helped him turn around his form, after he made only 13 runs in three ODIs against Pakistan in the UAE.”After the UAE tour, I had one-month period for training session,” Thisara said. “I worked hard with supporting staff in Sri Lanka. It was really helpful for me.”Jayasuriya was adamant that a stint in Australia playing Twenty20s would not help him progress as an allrounder, having used a similar treatment to rouse him out of a slump previously. “We are not giving him permission to play in the Big Bash. He has to work and stay in Sri Lanka,” Jayasuriya had said. “The reason is poor form. He’s been in very poor form with his bowling and batting. He needs to work on some things with the coaches in Sri Lanka.”Bangladesh now know how helpful the rap had been for Thisara, and how effective his confidence can be for Sri Lanka. From 67 for 8, he rescued Sri Lanka with an unbeaten 80 off 57 balls, which is the third-highest by a batsman at No. 9, and is only the second by a Sri Lankan after Guy de Alwis.But match-winning rescue acts are not new to Thisara. His unbeaten 36 here in Mirpur four years ago was the first instance when his last-ditch hitting helped Sri Lanka to a win. Against South Africa in early 2012, his unbeaten 69 helped his side to a famous win. There have been a 21 not out and a 19 not out against Australia in 2012 and 2013, as well as the unbeaten 35 against Bangladesh in the second T20 in Chittagong last week.Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews called Thisara’s innings “absolutely brilliant” and praised his all-round abilities. “He is one of the best allrounders that we have. He has been winning us matches in the past few years with bat and ball, he is matured. He did it in the T20s in Chittagong, and he has improved quite rapidly. Hopefully he will continue to do the same thing in the future.’The way he batted was absolutely brilliant. When Thisara and Sachithra were batting, I thought we should get to at least 150 to give the bowlers some sort of chance. He is matured now, he has been winning games with bat and ball.”

Benefactor helps save Horsham festival

The Horsham festival has had a reprieve for the 2014 season after an anonymous benefactor donated a significant sum to Sussex to allow them to continue with the out-ground fixture

The Horsham festival has had a reprieve for the 2014 season after an anonymous benefactor donated a significant sum to Sussex to allow them to continue with the out-ground fixture.It appeared to have paid the price for the club’s financial difficulties, but the festival week will take place from July 21-27 and will include a Championship match against Warwickshire and a 50-over fixture against Nottinghamshire.However, the fact the venue has been saved for this year is not a long-term solution and Sussex are aware they need to make it financially viable.Zac Toumazi, the Sussex chief executive, said: “Personally I am delighted that the festival will be proceeding this year. We have had some sponsors come forward but without the substantial donation from an anonymous benefactor, it would not be going ahead.”It is now up to all of us to make the festival the most successful ever and work hard to attract sponsorship for 2015 and beyond. We must avoid this situation reoccurring.”

بيلد تكشف عن شرط تشيلسي للموافقة على انتقال تشالوباه إلى بايرن ميونخ

كشفت صحيفة بيلد الألمانية، شرط نادي تشيلسي من أجل الموافقة على رحيل تريفوه تشالوباه، مدافع الفريق إلى بايرن ميونخ، في الانتقالات الصيفية الحالية، والتي ستنتهي خلال يومين.

ويستهدف بايرن ميونخ بقيادة الألماني توماس توخيل، التعاقد مع تشالوباه ليجمع الشمل بينهما مجددا، بعدما تدرب اللاعب تحت قيادته عندما كان مدربًا للبلوز، وكذلك لتعويض رحيل بنيامين بافارد المحتمل.

ويريد بايرن ميونخ بقاء بافارد، لكن الدولي الفرنسي، يريد الانتقال وتوصل بالفعل لاتفاق شخصي مع نادي إنتر ميلان، والآن النادي الإيطالي في محادثات متقدمة مع العملاق البافاري لإتمام الصفقة.

ووضع بايرن ميونخ عينه على المدافع تشالوباه، واستفسر عن إمكانية التعاقد معه على سبيل الإعارة، لكن تشيلسي يريد وضع بند الشراء الإجباري بعد نهاية الموسم الذي قد بدأ للتو.

ويريد تشيلسي بيع اللاعبين من أجل قانون اللعب المالي النظيف، حيث قام بشراء لاعبين كثر على مدار سنة كاملة، وتخطت الصفقات مبلغ مليار جنيه إسترليني، مما قد يؤدي بالنادي إلى المحاكمة أو العقوبات.
