The three rounds of the Shield season since resumption after the Big Bash League have tossed up some thought-provoking numbers
Daniel Brettig19-Mar-2019Cameron Bancroft’s stubbornness at the batting crease will not only be a cornerstone of Western Australia’s bid to leap past New South Wales and claim a Sheffield Shield final berth against Victoria – he also has the chance to press even harder for a return to Australia’s Test team calculations by demonstrating his ability to blunt the swerving Dukes ball.The three rounds of the Shield season since resumption after the Big Bash League have tossed up some thought-provoking numbers, not least in the context of the ball being used for the third time in as many seasons to provide preparation for the kinds of moving ball challenges expected in England.While the low scoring affairs at the Gabba and Drummoyne Oval in round nine attracted plenty of interest and also caused Ian Chappell to question the quality of the stocks beneath the Australian team currently in the UAE by dint of their failures in those games, the wider picture presents a few examples of batsmen performing in the face of a challenge rather different to that commonly offered by the Kookaburra ball.In terms of runs, Marcus Harris (442 runs at 73.66) and Matthew Wade (351 at 58.5) have not allowed the change of ball to affect their standing as the two standout players in the season overall, sitting first and third respectively on the aggregates over three games. They are split by Nic Maddinson’s 391 at 65.66, demonstrating his happiness in Victoria, his liking for the Dukes ball first glimpsed for Australia A in England in 2013, and the fact he is the only player in the competition to have notched more than a single century against the change of ball.
While these three batsmen have scored at quite a clip, Bancroft, sitting fourth with 336 runs at 67.20, has soaked up no fewer than 830 balls in his first three Shield games since the end of his Newlands ban, fully 199 clear of the next man in Harris, the incumbent Test opener.At the time of his ban, Bancroft spoke of his anguish at giving away his spot in the Test side for free. The resolve inherent in facing so many balls, knowing full well that the selectors will be looking for the right combination with the proactive, aggressive David Warner upon his own return from the Newlands bans, will only strengthen in the knowledge that a win over Queensland at home, with a little help from Tasmania against NSW, will propel the Warriors into their first Shield final since 2014.Intriguingly, the Queensland trio of Joe Burns, Matt Renshaw and Marnus Labuschagne are all averaging in the 20s after their three matches, leaving each man exceedingly keen to find a big score at the WACA Ground – something for the selectors to remember them by when they choose the Australia A and ultimately Ashes squads.Among the bowlers, in the absence of Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc with injury, there are plenty of performers worth noting also. Another key absentee is South Australia’s Daniel Worrall, widely considered a strong operator with the Dukes ball and suited to England, as he continues to convalesce with hamstring trouble that has followed a back complaint.Into the breach charged Harry Conway last round, scooping nine Victorian victims at Drummoyne while gaining late swing and steep bounce that would challenge any player. In the same match James Pattinson’s pace and fire reaped his own five-for, leaving the coach Andrew McDonald to choose between him, Peter Siddle and Scott Boland for someone to make way for the rested Chris Tremain.
Jackson Bird, an Ashes tourist in 2013 and then a spectator in England in 2015, has underlined his own ability to wobble the Dukes disconcertingly in scooping 19 wickets at 20.21 across three matches, trailed by the spin of Jon Holland (15 at 20.73) and the swing and seam of Luke Feldman (14 at 15.0) who at the age of 34 is playing his last season for Queensland. Feldman’s style of bowling has always looked suited to English conditions, but he appears, like Damien Fleming, never to bowl a Test delivery in the UK.Another man near the exit is Cameron White, dropped by Victoria for their final match in Adelaide against bottom-placed South Australia. It is a fixture that Siddle suggested needed to be carefully managed by the title frontrunners.”That’s disappointing, he’s been a great servant and he’s been playing some good cricket for us this season,” Siddle told in response to White’s omission. “I don’t think it has anything to do with the final, we’ve been able to manage the group over the past few weeks and I’m sure this is just another process of it and his name will definitely be right up there for selection comes that final.”You want to be playing good cricket and having good momentum going into that final. We’ve been fortunate over the past couple of weeks; I had a rest two games ago, Chris Tremain had a rest last game, so having that depth has been good for us being able to rest a few players leading in.”This week it will be a pretty strong side put out and we’ve got to go out there and perform our skills. You don’t want to be going into a final putting in a bad performance the game before. We’ll just approach this as we normally would and hopefully get a good result.”

Sitting through a rare desert rain delay of two hours and 15 minutes was well worth the wait for tourists Nepal, who repeated their ODI series feat of coming back from 0-1 down to win the T20I series 2-1 thanks to an improbable effort led by captain Paras Khadka and the resilient pace bowling duo of Karan KC and Abinash Bohara.In a match reduced to 10 overs per side, UAE put Nepal in and got off to a dream start when stand-in captain Mohammad Naveed produced a wicket-maiden with the new ball, claiming Pawan Sarraf caught behind off the fourth ball of the match. Gyanendra Malla and Dipendra Singh Airee fell in quick succession to leave Nepal 21 for 3 before Khadka and Sundeep Jora began their counterattack.The captain top-scored with 29 and was well supported by teenager Jora, who cracked three sixes in a whirlwind 28 off 11 balls before falling with nine balls left in the innings. After Khadka and Jora’s fantastic legwork to get Nepal in position for a major launch in the final over, Amir Hayat bowled an excellent 10th in which three wickets fell off the final four balls to contain Nepal to 104.Once again, the first over of the innings went heavily in favor of the UAE as Ghulam Shabber slog swept Sandeep Lamichhane for six and four off the first two balls, followed by another boundary driven through cover. Five wides down leg later in the frame resulted in a 20-run first over to put UAE in the driver’s seat.The fall of Ashfaq Ahmed at the end of the second over didn’t slow down UAE either. Shaiman Anwar announced his arrival to the crease by cutting Karan over point for six before driving Sompal Kami back over his head for another maximum to take the hosts to 50 for 1 after 4 overs.But as they had in the first innings, Nepal showed tremendous fight to claw their way back into the match. As good as the bowlers were to produce chances, the Nepal fielding was spectacular to convert them into wickets. With 33 needed off the last three overs, Shaiman began the eighth skying Karan over mid-off, where Malla charged in 30 yards from the boundary for a sensational diving catch. It began a stretch of five wickets in 14 balls with the Nepal vice-captain a central figure in three of them.Two balls after Shaiman fell, Naveed slogged Karan to Sarraf at deep midwicket for a golden duck. With eight balls to go, UAE needed 21 to win and Bohara delivered a knee high full toss to Mohammad Boota, but he couldn’t clear Malla at deep midwicket.Teenage left-arm spinner Lalit Rajbanshi was then tasked with defending 19 off the final over. CP Rizwan drove the first ball high over Rajbanshi down the ground for what appeared a certain boundary but Malla emerged again from long-off and sprinted 25 yards right before diving to pull off his second stunner in the space of 15 minutes. Hayat skied a full toss over extra cover on the next ball but Khadka ran back from the ring to clasp onto a sharp over-the-shoulder catch to put Rajbanshi on a hat-trick.Sultan Ahmed could only manage a pair of twos off the next two balls to hand Nepal the match and the series. While Karan was named Player of the Match for swinging the momentum back Nepal’s way with a double-strike in the eighth over, 21-year-old Bohara was named Man of the Series on debut after topping the charts with six wickets, including five in Nepal’s back-to-back wins.
West Ham are thought to be interested in signing a versatile new player who David Moyes wanted back in 2018.
West Ham transfer news
The Hammers had a relatively busy summer in the transfer market, bringing in a number of new players and cashing in on Declan Rice, who left for Arsenal in a big-money deal. Since then, Moyes’ side have had an up-and-down start to the Premier League campaign, which has resulted in speculation over the manager’s long-term future.

Reports last month suggested Moyes could even be sacked by West Ham, although back-to-back wins prior to the international break alongside dumping Arsenal out of the EFL Cup may have bought him some time. There were even claims of a rumoured bust-up between Moyes and technical director Tim Steidten, however, it looks as if plans ahead of the January transfer window are being put in place.
Bayern Munich’s Leon Goretzka, AFC Bournemouth forward Dominic Solanke and Genoa star Albert Gudmundsson have all recently been linked with moves to the London Stadium, and another target has now emerged in a player who Moyes and West Ham were looking to sign back in 2018 in what could have been a record deal at the time.
According to a report from Italy, West Ham are one of the sides showing an interest in AS Roma’s Bryan Cristante. The update states that Premier League rivals Tottenham and Aston Villa are also keen and that if any side were to offer around €30m for the player in January, then he could leave the Italian giants, managed by Jose Mourinho.
Bryan Cristante profiled
Cristante is primarily a defensive midfielder but can also play as a centre-back if needed and made the permanent move to AS Roma back in 2019 following a loan spell from Atalanta. Currently valued at €20m by Transfermarkt, the Italian was a member of the EURO 2020 winning squad and is out of contract with his club employers in 2027. (Bryan Cristante profile – Transfermarkt)
On the pitch, the 28-year-old has made 244 appearances for Roma in all competitions, and throughout his career, has featured as a centre-back, defensive midfielder, central midfielder and attacking midfielder. (Bryan Cristante stats – Transfermarkt)
Hailed for an “unbelievable” goal he scored by journalist Josh Bunting, Cristante has also come in for praise from Italy head coach Luciano Spalletti, who said:
“Cristante, for example, is doing it splendidly and has that physicality that can help you unlock a match. He can be very helpful to his teammates in the midfield. Now physicality has become a fundamental aspect of football.”
Therefore, Cristante could offer Moyes’ side a versatile and experienced option for the second half of the season and beyond, if the Scot finally gets his man six years on ahead of Spurs and Villa, making this one to watch.
Everton brought in an abundance of attacking talent in the summer in their attempts to become more deadly in the final third as the likes of Moise Kean, Alex Iwobi, Ellis Simms, and Demarai Gray were all sold.
The Toffees used the funds recouped from that talent to bring in Chermiti, Beto, and Arnaut Danjuma, who may have been signed to make Sean Dyche's side more clinical up top.
With only nine goals scored in the league this season, a third of which came in an emphatic victory over Bournemouth, it is glaringly obvious that Everton are still in need of serious firepower in the final third, or perhaps some guile and creativity to help unlock their attacking potential.
In a bid to rectify this problem, Everton could use the January transfer window as an opportunity to bolster their attack by reigniting their interest in Leeds United's Crysencio Summerville.
Are Everton interested in signing Crysencio Summerville?
Leeds duo Daniel Farke and Crysencio Summerville.
Everton showed a keen interest in luring Crysencio Summerville away from Leeds United this summer, however, the Dutch dynamo reportedly rejected a move to Goodison Park.
Whilst the door was slammed shut on the Toffees in the summer, his performances for the Whites this season have only heightened speculation linking him with an exit, and several Premier League clubs are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old as the January window approaches, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Writing on X, he said: “Crysencio Summerville with a brace today vs Norwich — he rejected several clubs in the summer to stay at LUFC and feel key player there.
"Bournemouth, Everton and Burnley were all interested and more PL clubs are now monitoring Crysencio towards the January window."
Summerville's brace against Norwich City on Saturday completed a dramatic comeback and took his tally to four goals and two assists for the campaign, establishing himself as a key figure under Daniel Farke.
How does Summerville compare to Dwight McNeil?
Everton winger Dwight McNeil.
Summerville's outstanding individual display against the Canaries has only accentuated why several top-flight clubs are interested in prising him away from Elland Road.
Possessing an abundance of guile and creativity combined with his searing pace and exceptional ball-carrying skills, the 21-year-old has become one of the best players in the Championship and this is backed up by his sublime attacking metrics.
When compared against his positional peers in the second tier this season, Summerville ranks in the top 10% for successful take-ons, top 9% for progressive carries, top 6% for touches in the attacking penalty box, and top 1% for non-penalty xG and shot creating actions, as per FBref.
Lauded by Michael Owen as "exceptional" for his individual performances in the Premier League last term, the 5 foot 6 magician could add the pace and quality that Everton desire in the final third, perhaps replacing Dwight McNeil on the left flank.
Although Everton are restricted by the style that Sean Dyche deploys, compromising fluidity in the final third for a strong defensive base, the Englishman has still flattered to deceive when given the opportunity to drive his side up the field.
Whilst Summerville – who had one of his finishes last season lauded as "incredible" by pundit Nedum Onuoha – is known for unleashing his wonderful flair and trickery that can make a difference in a tight contest, McNeil is unable to provide that same level of threat.
He ranks in the bottom 11% across Europe's top five leagues in the past year for touches in the attacking penalty box, bottom 19% for non-penalty xG, and bottom 29% for carries into the final third.
When comparing that to Summerville's performances in the top flight last term, he recorded more progressive carries (3.22/3.16), touches in the attacking penalty box (4.42/2.24), non-penalty goals (0.25/0.19), and progressive passes (2.84/2.20) per 90.
Dyche must, therefore, reignite his interest in the talented whiz as the statistics suggest that he could provide the Toffees with a much-needed attacking boost.
A vitória por 1 a 0 sobre o Santos, pela 22ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, na Arena da Baixada, fez com que o Athletico-PR conseguisse alcançar mais um feito importante na competição.

Com o time pulando para a 9ª colocação, o técnico Paulo Autuori não escondeu a felicidade com a recuperação do Furacão. Segundo o comandante, que iniciou sua fala pontuando sobre ‘moral resgatada’, esbanjou confiança já projetando os próximos compromissos na temporada.
“No futebol, a moral é resgatada com vitórias. São elas que são catapulta para que você possa seguir em frente, subir na tabela, fazendo jogos com melhor qualidade e que permite você pensar que pode ganhar os jogos que for… É isso. E isso só se consegue com vitórias. Agora, para que as vitórias venham, é preciso um ambiente saudável, em que todos saibam que são úteis”, disse.
Entretanto, Paulo reforçou que seu foco agora é corrigir problemas na defesa. Porém, em sua visão, o trabalho não é fácil já que o tempo acaba sendo um dos obstáculos.
“Para corrigir, é difícil. Nenhum treinador tem condições de corrigir porque não tem tempo para isso. Agora, o aspecto defensivo, até porque tem jogadores ali, como o Thiago, que trabalhou comigo, que sabem perfeita aquilo que a gente deseja, e isso facilita. Então, aproveitamos o pouco tempo para corrigir isso”.
Jack Brooks gave a reminder of the qualities that Yorkshire will miss as he took four wickets against his new club
David Hopps29-Aug-2018

ScorecardAccording to psychologists there are four states of competence and as Lewis Gregory and Steven Davies struck the ball to all parts on a sunlit evening, and Somerset helter-skeltered to 374 for 8 by the close, there was little doubt among the Headingley cognoscenti which category they were minded to put the Yorkshire attack.Optimists were never going to be in the majority with Yorkshire only four points above the relegation positions – the Roses match in a fortnight could be a tense affair – but when Somerset’s openers, Marcus Trescothick and Eddie Byrom, had departed in the first half-hour with only five runs on the board, a few of them could be found, cowering ever so slightly as they suggested that perhaps things were not as bad as painted and that Andrew Gale, the coach, deserved patience in a difficult transtion period.But by the close, nobody would have made much of a claim that this had been a day of Conscious Competence and certainly not of Unconscious Competence, a state of perfection that even the great Yorkshire sides were rarely allowed by the critics to have attained. Nope, it was a toss-up between Conscious Incompetence and Unconscious Incompetence and, while they were on the subject of tosses, why on earth had Yorkshire chosen to bowl?There was easily enough life in the pitch for the pace bowlers to make it an eminently fair call, but they failed to take advantage, particularly in the first session, and now must negotiate the rest of the match with three pace bowlers after a recurrence of a split toe for Matt Fisher, which first needed stitches on England Lions duty a month ago.The Headingley mood might have been lightened when Jack Brooks arrested Somerset’s charge with two wickets in a single over – Gregory flicking to midwicket for 65 from 46 balls and then Davies falling to a good catch by Gary Ballance at extra cover for 80, itself quick enough at 122 deliveries. After a vigorous stand of 114 in 18 overs, Somerset had been pegged back a little at 346 for 7.Hildreth upbeat
James Hildreth was confident Somerset were in a powerful position after the first day at Headingley. “It was doing loads out there,” he said. “It was swinging a lot, it was a bit up and down, and there was also movement off the seam as well. “We knew we had to fight it out and wait for the bad ball, which they bowled a few of to be fair. We knew we’d play and miss and edge to third-man, but we just had to go with it. Fortunately for us, it paid off.”
But this was the Brooks, the crowd-pleasing Brooks, the headband-warrior Brooks, the Brooks who can enliven the most prosaic of sessions in an instant with fulsome, attacking pace bowling, sometimes even attacking batting. And this was also the Brooks who it was confirmed this week will join Somerset at the end of the season on a three-year contract, because Yorkshire would only offer him two. Brooks, in many ways, has been a psychologist for the more hardened members of the Yorkshire crowd, a player who makes it fun, and as such a little bit of happiness has slipped away.A three-year contract for a fast bowler, at 34, clearly has considerable risk attached, and Somerset would be foolish not to know that, but Yorkshire are facing a difficult transition when good humour will not be readily available. Brooks’ uplifting qualities will be missed. To announce his transfer now had not pleased every onlooker but he is a professional and it helped to clear his mind in a difficult situation.Jack Brooks appeals•Getty Images
“I’m not ready for goodbyes yet – I fully intend to finish on a high,” Brooks said on the eve of the game. To help keep Yorkshire up, Somerset’s title challenge would have to be collateral damage. A return of 4 for 103 in 25 overs proved he still has much to offer without the need for sheepish looks towards the away dressing room and also took him within five wickets of 300 first-class victims for Yorkshire.He took one of the two new-ball wickets, defeating Byrom with bounce and providing a catch to Andy Hodd. Hodd’s presence was unexpected. As soon as Jonny Tattersall added wicketkeeping to his CV and broke into Yorkshire’s side this season in all formats, he had announced his retirement at the end of the season, but Tattersall suffered a back spasm the day before the match and Hodd made an emergency return from Taunton where he was due to play for Yorkshire’s 2nd XI.If there was life in the pitch for Yorkshire’s bowlers, there was not quite enough pace and several edges in the first hour fell short of the slips. Somerset’s innings duly settled, underpinned by a third-wicket stand of 137 in 33 between James Hildreth and Azhar Ali who both made 80s. Hildreth flirted with danger early on before settling into some fine square-of-the-wicket play; David Willey eventually won a catch at first slip with one angled across him. Azhar was more watchful, treating Brooks, in particular, with respect, and he possessed such security in far-from-straightforward conditions that it was something of a surprise when Josh Shaw yorked him with his hundred in sight.The mood of the sixth-wicket stand of 114 in 18 overs was something else. If you bowl short and wide at Davies you will certainly rush the game on, one way or another, and he feasted on Shaw after tea. Gregory, encouraged forth by some Yorkshire fill-in bowling, picked up where he had left off in the Vitality Blast quarter-final, turning a situation that Somerset were barely edging at 229 for 5 (par was perhaps 260) into a day with which they would have been immensely pleased.

Mbappe to leave PSG this summer
Is rumoured to have all but sealed Real Madrid move
Camavinga denies he's spoken with Mbappe
WHAT HAPPENED?
Mbappe's future has been subject of heavy speculation in recent weeks. The France forward confirmed that he will leave Paris at the end of the season, and has reportedly all but sealed a move to Los Blancos. However, Camavinga, his national teammate, refuted reports that a deal was done.

WHAT EDUARDO CAMAVINGA SAID
In a pre-match press conference, Camavinga addressed the Mbappe rumours: "You want to know the truth? I haven’t spoken with him at all, and I don’t know what he will do next summer… Mbappe is not our player, we are going to respect PSG. I’m not talking about that. I don’t know what’s going to happen, that’s the truth."

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Camavinga is not the only one to rubbish talk that Madrid have finalised a deal with the France captain. Carlo Ancelotti, too, has insisted that he won't comment on Mbappe talk – and asserted that Madrid: "Already have the best players in the world."
