Plays of the day from the second day of the Trent Bridge Test between England and India

Andrew McGlashan at Trent Bridge30-Jul-2011What spot of the day
England couldn’t secure the breakthrough they dearly wanted (and felt they deserved the night before) in the early overs of the second morning, but thought they’d ended the second-wicket stand when they appealed for a caught-behind off VVS Laxman. James Anderson was convinced and Andrew Strauss called for the DRS only for Hot Spot to not show a mark. The third umpire heard a noise, but decided it wasn’t conclusive enough to warrant a reversal and in the 23rd over of the innings England had used up their referrals.Catch of the day
Stuart Broad’s heart would have been in his mouth as Sachin Tendulkar’s edge flew towards Strauss at slip shortly after lunch. Strauss hasn’t been catching many of late and had spilled Tendulkar at Lord’s. This time, however, there was no need to worry as Strauss watched it all the way into his hands and Broad had bagged Tendulkar for the second time in the series. Strauss continued to look alert when he provided back-up to Matt Prior by showing fantastic hang-time to prevent four byes from a Tim Bresnan bouncer.Flinch of the day
Although Suresh Raina played superbly at Lord’s there remains enough evidence that he doesn’t like the short ball. England targeted him straightaway and third ball he got into a horrid tangle against Broad which resulted in him gloving over the slips. A short while later he lobbed another rising delivery over short leg and Broad’s persistence soon paid off for Anderson. Raina, caught in the crease, drove away from his body and gave a simple catch to backward point.Drop of the day
With India four down England had a real sniff. Then came one of those moments that can define a Test. Remember Graham Thorpe dropping Matthew Elliott at Headingley in 1997? While not quite of the same magnitude, Kevin Pietersen’s spill at gully off Yuvraj Singh when the batsman had 4 was a momentum-changing slip up. It was a simple catch as gully chances go but it went straight to ground. Yuvraj continued to look uncomfortable against the pace but survived and tucked in against spin. Some of that spin came from Pietersen just to make his day better.Punishment of the day
Graeme Swann had a painful hand when the day started and he had painful figures when it ended. In fact, he has never had a worse innings for England. No wickets and being taken for more than six an over. The injury may have been a factor, but surely not a huge one as it was to his non-bowling hand. Instead, credit should go to Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj who never let him settle – much as Michael Hussey attempted to do during the Ashes. Yuvraj swept him hard and Dravid picked off any error in length to leave Swann kicking the stumps in frustration. The match referee promptly reprimanded him.Momentum change of the day
Pitch it up, Stuart. It was a simple cry and one Broad followed at Lord’s with a serious impact and now he has reaped further rewards with a Test hat-trick. England had to strike with the second new ball and Broad took it upon himself with a spine-tingling burst. MS Dhoni edged to second slip, Harbhajan Singh was given lbw when he smashed it into his pad and Praveen Kumar got nowhere near a full delivery which shattered the stumps. Broad had been the third victim in the last Test hat-trick, taken by Peter Siddle in Brisbane, and now got to savour the moment himself.

By opening with Dilshan, Sri Lanka are hoping to recapture the glory days when Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana indulged themselves against the new ball

Sriram Veera in Colombo05-Feb-2009

Tillakaratne Dilshan thinks like Virender Sehwag. He doesn’t have the outrageous skill of Sehwag to consistently put the good deliveries to boundary but he tries. This has led to his downfall, many a time. In Dilshan speak: “If there is anything in my zone, I have to go for it.”By opening with Dilshan, Sri Lanka are hoping to recapture the glory days when Sanath Jayasuriya and Romesh Kaluwitharana indulged themselves against the new ball. However back then, unlike now, the middle and lower-middle order were strong. Hence there is a greater pressure on Dilshan. Sri Lanka have stacked up their attacking options at the top, hoping to ride on their momentum. “If Sanath and I get off to a good start, then we should make at least 275,” Dilshan said.In the 142 matches that he has played in the lower middle order, he averages 28.33 at a strike-rate of nearly 80. In nine matches as an opener, he averages 53 with one hundred and two half-centuries at a strike rate of 99.46. The ratio of fours per game has also gone
considerably higher as an opener.Dilshan is not your traditional finisher who muscles the bowlers out of the park. He needs the ball to come on to him and he flashes it away off his wrist power. In that respect, the new ball should suit him.Dilshan always wanted to bat higher, not necessarily as an opener, but in the top order. Initially, there was no vacancy. Later, the team needed him to remain down the order. It takes a special breed to survive down there. You get to face only a few overs and you have to create the maximum impact out of it. Get in, hit out, but try not to get out. No wonder Dilshan wanted to move up.But the team situation prevented him for the men batting around him down the
order were raw. “But now Kapugedera has played quite a few matches, Kandamby is coming along and so they would have learnt how to play down there.”Finally, after years, Dilshan sensed an opportunity to go up but No. 3 and No. 4 were still booked. So he set about proving to the selectors that he was good enough to open by batting in that position in first-class matches last year. “I was the Man of the Tournament. Then I got confident that I can do if for Sri Lanka as well. Then I went to Bangladesh and did well.”The selectors and management started to believe. In a discussion with them, Dilshan expressed his willingness to open consistently. He built a case for himself in Pakistan, scoring 255 runs at 127.5. “I was happy with my 137 against a really good [Pakistan] attack.”This series, though, he has averaged 13 in three games. But Dilshan isn’t alarmed. “First match I was run out, in the second I was out hooking. I pull and cut well normally, so these things can happen. In the third game, the run-rate requited was high and I had to keep going for the shots.”Dilshan is aware he has to be more careful about his shot selection against the new ball. Watching Jayasuriya has helped. “The ball was moving around in Pakistan and Sanath let the ball do its thing for the first ten overs. After that, he suddenly changed the game around. I am new to this job and am learning still. You have to be more technically correct in the first five to six overs. If you get a start, you can make a big one. If one of us gets out early, the other will hang in for a long innings. That’s the plan.”For a converted opener, the biggest worry is not the new ball but whether he will get enough chances to prove himself. What happens if he fails as an opener? Dilshan says the selectors have assured him a long rope. And they have further bolstered his confidence by naming him the captain of the Twenty20 team..For all these years, whenever Dilshan has got out to an ambitious stroke after teasing with his flair, Sri Lanka have just shook their head and told themselves, ‘Dilshan will be Dilshan. That’s how he bats,’ and moved on. Now that he has been given greater license to go for his shots and against the new ball, it will be interesting to see his mental adjustments and his shot selections. Will it improve? That will determine his longevity as an opener.

The incident occurred during the third day’s play between Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Dhaka

Mohammad Isam16-Jun-2023

The Bangladesh Cricket Board [BCB] has apologised after their security personnel assaulted a journalist during the third day of the one-off Test between Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Dhaka. BCB director Ismail Haider Mallick came to the press box within the hour of the incident, and assured that the people involved would be withdrawn from duty for at least one year.Mallick further added that the BCB is still in the process of identifying all the individuals who assaulted Tasfiq Shahriar, who works for the website. He vowed that the BCB would look further into improving the overall behaviour of the security staff.The trouble started when Shahriar was waiting for one of his colleagues to bring his accreditation card so that he could enter the press box during the third day’s play. One of the security personnel told him to stand across the street. Journalists usually wait near Gate No.1 of the Shere Bangla National Stadium, and Shahriar moved away from that spot when asked to.Suddenly one of the security staff swooped onto Shahriar and attacked him. He was talking to another journalist at the time. Shahriar has claimed that three to five persons attacked him, and left him with bruises on his nose and throat.This is not the first time that BCB security guards have had run-ins with journalists. Major incidents took place in 2006, 2015 and 2016.There have also been several unreported incidents involving security guards and journalists at the board headquarters in Mirpur.

Alice Capsey has been included in England’s Women’s T20 World Cup squad as she continues her recovery from a broken collarbone suffered on the tour of the Caribbean before Christmas.England head coach, Jon Lewis, said they wanted to “give her every chance” of being available for the tournament, with the 18-year-old potentially a key player at the top of the order.There was a recall for experienced seamer Kate Cross, who last played a T20I in 2019, but no place for Issy Wong, who will be one of two travelling reserves in South Africa, alongside Dani Gibson.”It’s always exciting to name a World Cup squad, and there’s a great deal of talent in this group,” Lewis said. “We saw a lot of good things in the West Indies, a lot of progress around shifting our mindset as a team, and I’m excited to see how we take that into to the challenge of a global tournament.”We hope Alice is fit enough, she’s worked incredibly hard alongside the medical staff to get to this point and we’ll give her every chance, but as we saw in the Caribbean the depth of talent and skill in the squad is growing fast and winning tournaments is about everyone collectively embracing the moment and enjoying the journey.”It’s an honour for me to lead a team into a World Cup and I know that we will be giving it everything we have got, not only to show everyone who we are as a team and how we want to play, but also to keep inspiring people to play the game we all love so much.”Katherine Brunt, Player of the Match when England won the title at Lord’s in 2009, will once again lead the line in her sixth T20 World Cup campaign. Freya Kemp, England’s breakout star of the 2022 season, misses out after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in her lower back during last month’s tour of the Caribbean.England Women’s World Cup squad: Heather Knight (capt), Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Katherine Brunt, Alice Capsey, Kate Cross, Freya Davies, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Amy Jones, Nat Sciver, Lauren Winfield-Hill, Danni WyattTravelling Reserves: Issy Wong, Dani Gibson

O técnico Rogério Ceni não deu muitos indícios de um provável time titular do São Paulo na vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Guarani, em jogo-treino disputado na manhã de sábado (7). Mas ao que tudo indica, a disputa será ferrenha entre o recém-chegado Alan Franco e Ferraresi para ver quem fica com a vaga ao lado de Arboleda na zaga do Tricolor para o Campeonato Paulista.

Argentino e venezuelano tiveram bom desempenho na atividade, apesar de jogarem tempos diferentes.

E a disputa entre o recém-contratado, que chega bem avalizado até pelo presidente Julio Casares, e o jogador emprestado pelo Grupo City promete ser a tônica na reta final de preparação do Tricolor para o Estadual.

De acordo com informações do ‘Blog do São Paulo‘, Ceni surpreendeu no primeiro tempo da atividade utilizando um time misto com nomes ditos como reservas no Morumbi.

Jandrei; Rafinha, Arboleda, Alan Franco e Wellington; Luan, Nestor, Galoppo e Wellington Rato; Luciano e Marcos Paulo foram os escolhidos pelo comandante.

Segundo as informações levantadas pelo LANCE!, Ceni usou um falso 4-4-2, mas que acabava se tornando um 4-3-3 habitual, com Wellington Rato saindo da ponta-esquerda para armar as jogadas, quase como um ponta de lança antigo.

Galoppo, atuando de forma inédita mais à frente, em tantas funções defensivas, acabou se destacando e marcou o gol tricolor da atividade.

O time do segundo tempo foi formado por Rafael; Igor Vinícius, Ferraresi, Beraldo e Liziero; Pablo Maia, Talles Costa, Rodriguinho e Alisson; Pedrinho e Calleri.

De destaque, a opção clara do treinador em ter Liziero, que retornou de empréstimo do Internacional, exercendo de fato o posto de lateral-esquerdo reserva. O São Paulo não contratou ninguém para o lugar de Reinaldo, que deixou o Morumbi após o término de seu contrato.

Ainda de acordo com o blog, Gabriel Neves, Orejuela e Juan entraram no decorrer do jogo-treino.

Conforme o São Paulo revelou, Patrick, de malas prontas para o Atlético-MG, Felipe Alves, liberado para o seu casamento, e Diego Costa, Moreira, Caio e André Anderson, contundidos, não participaram da atividade.

O São Paulo folga neste domingo (8) e só volta aos trabalhos na segunda-feira (9), no CT da Barra Funda. O clube ainda realizará mais um jogo-treino antes da estreia no Paulistão, no próximo final de semana, ante o Ituano, no Morumbi, mas adversário, data e horário ainda estão indefinidos.

Takes over from predecessor Will Rhodes after signing contract extension

ESPNcricinfo staff22-Jan-2024

Alex Davies has been named as the new captain of Warwickshire, following Will Rhodes’ decision to step down after four years in the role.Davies, 29, has played more than 50 senior matches for the club across formats since joining from Lancashire in 2021, and in last season’s Vitality Blast, he led the side to ten wins out of ten after stepping into the job following Moeen Ali’s unexpected Ashes recall.His promotion comes alongside a new contract that will keep him at Edgbaston at least until the end of 2026, and he’s vowed to “give absolutely everything” to the club’s pursuit of silverware.”My overriding feeling is pride, It’s an honour captaining any club at any level, but to captain a club as big as Warwickshire is a huge privilege, “he said. “Edgbaston has become home to me. I won’t be leaving anything out there on the pitch, I’ll give it my all.”Taking the T20 reins last year has helped prepare me for the role, to really get to know the lads, their different characters and how they like to be dealt with on and off the field. That experience should stand me in good stead.”Warwickshire’s Performance Director Gavin Larsen added: “I’m delighted that Al accepted the captaincy role. We’ve had a good preview of how he operates after he captained for most of the T20 last year. Al was successful, popular with players, communicated superbly, and worked collaboratively with the coaches.”Al was always a strong candidate for captain given his vice-captain experience last year. He certainly displayed all the right attributes to take over should the opportunity arise.”The captain, ultimately, will only be as good as his team. What a good captain can do is bring out the best in his players and Al demonstrated that last summer in the Blast. He’s a people person, and will now be plotting how he can help to take this great club forward.”A decision will be made on the T20 captaincy once Moeen Ali’s Indian Premier League and England commitments are finalised.

Tottenham Hotspur have been hit with a £75,000 FA fine due to crowd misconduct at a Premier League match against Manchester United last September.

Crowd 'misconduct' at United gameSpurs receive £75K fineReduced from £150KFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

According to the Football Association, the club failed to ensure its fans behaved properly during the Premier League fixture, with reports of inappropriate language at multiple points in the game. Tottenham beat United 3-0 in the match, but their win was overshadowed by the presence of homophobic chanting in the stands.

Spurs immediately condemned the fans responsible for these chants, issuing a statement vowing to work closely "with the police and stewards to identify anyone instigating or joining in with the chanting" and "take the strongest possible action in accordance with our sanctions and banning policy." However, English football's governing body has judged that the club did not do enough to stamp out the inappropriate behaviour.

WHAT THE FA SAID

An official FA statement read: "Tottenham Hotspur FC has been fined £75,000 for two breaches of FA Rule E21 in relation to crowd control misconduct at its Premier League match against Manchester United FC on Sunday 29 September 2024. It was alleged that Tottenham Hotspur FC failed to ensure its spectators and or supporters (and anyone purporting to be supporters or followers) conduct themselves in an orderly fashion and don’t use words or otherwise behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, indecent, or insulting way with either an express or implied reference to sexual orientation around both the 49th and 79th minutes. Tottenham Hotspur FC admitted both charges, and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed an action plan, £150,000 fine and warning. An independent Appeal Board reduced the fine to £75,000 following an appeal by the club."

Getty Images SportWHAT NEXT FOR TOTTENHAM?

There's no escaping the fact that this fine is a drop in the ocean for an incredibly rich club that's currently chasing various expensive players including Mohamed Kudus (with Spurs reportedly looking to bid around £50m for the West Ham midfielder). Having qualified for the Champions League thanks to their Europa League victory, the club — led by newly appointed manager Thomas Frank — has a big summer of squad strengthening ahead.

Leeds United have a huge task on their hands this summer to try and make the right additions regardless of what division they will be playing their football in next season.

With just a handful of games remaining, Daniel Farke’s men still sit within the Championship’s automatic promotion places, with their destiny still in their own hands.

If they were to claim a return to the Premier League, a handful of additions would be needed to strengthen the first-team squad to prevent an immediate return to England’s second tier.

It remains to be seen how much money the 49ers will invest in the squad in the next couple of months, but it’s a huge window for Farke to make the additions he needs to take his side to the next level.

One thing is for sure, the Whites desperately need reinforcements in one area of the pitch, with a player emerging on the club’s radar over the last couple of days.

Leeds plot summer move for PL star

According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are one of several sides in the race to land Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale this summer should they drop into the Championship.

The 26-year-old also has admirers from the likes of Newcastle United and Bournemouth, with the shot-stopper having a relegation release clause in his contract.

He’s been unable to prevent the Saints from sitting at the foot of the table, keeping just two clean sheets in his 21 Premier League outings in 2024/25 to date.

The report claims that the Whites have the England international at the top of their shortlist this summer, but any move for him will purely depend on whether they achieve promotion this season.

It’s safe to say that a deal for Ramsdale would inject a sense of excitement in the fanbase, providing an upgrade on the options currently at Farke’s disposal throughout the current season.

Why Ramsdale would be an upgrade on Meslier

Current number one Illan Meslier has endured a torrid few weeks between the sticks, often producing a mistake or two which has prevented the club from claiming more points in their hunt for promotion.

The Frenchman was at fault for both goals in the 2-2 draw against Swansea City last weekend, with his errors undoubtedly costing the side two points after Wilfried Gnonto’s stoppage-time strike.

He’s now conceded 27 goals this campaign, with a goal prevented xG of -2.73, undoubtedly holding the side back from reaching the next level under Farke’s guidance.

Whilst Ramsdale has struggled to prevent the club from sitting bottom of the table this year, he’s still managed to produce some incredible numbers – many of which blow Meslier out of the water.

The former Arsenal shot-stopper, who’s previously been labelled “world-class” by journalist Dan George, may have conceded more goals this season but has made more saves given the opportunities he’s faced.

He’s also completed more short passes than Meslier, having the ability to play out from the back and prevent similar mistakes to those made by the current number one this season.

Whilst Ramsdale has previously failed to deliver against Leeds, conceding to Patrick Bamford when the Whites last previously featured in the top flight, he’s managed to feature consistently after his move to the south coast.

The club can’t afford to enter another top-flight with Meslier between the sticks given his recent mistakes, potentially costing them a chance of survival.

Whilst they would likely have a battle for his signature this summer, it would be a signing that would massively bolster the squad, handing Farke the tools he needs to succeed in Yorkshire.

Farke could unearth Leeds' next Alan Smith in "exceptional" £3.5m star

Leeds United could have their best midfield talent since Alan Smith in this top performer.
