New Zealand coach John Wright has hinted at splitting the one-day opening combination of Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder for the series against Pakistan, as his side seeks to end a 11-match losing streak in the format. Wright hopes to use the six games against Pakistan to zero in on the right line-up for the World Cup, which begins on February 19.”They [McCullum and Ryder] may not be at the top of the order,” Wright told . “There may be only one of them at the top of the order. We really need to look at the way we have been playing and to consider where we have our firepower, particularly our impact batsmen. There is the opportunity to start with the Powerplay, and then who plays where when we get to the next Powerplay. We will have a look at that and make the decisions.”It’s something we just have to consider carefully. Dan [Daniel Vettori] will have some strong views on it and you look at the batting line-up, and if we can get players in form, and get our order right, then we should be able to do the job.”McCullum and Ryder formed one of New Zealand’s most successful opening pairs, and Wright said the decision to move one of them lower down would be to beef up a misfiring middle order. “The one thing about New Zealand one-day sides is that they always appear to be at their strongest when you had great batting depth around Nos. 5, 6, 7, 8,” Wright said. “When you played against New Zealand they were just a hard side to break down. We will be looking to bat as deep and with as much quality as we can around those areas.”Martin Guptill, who opened in the second Test in Wellington when Tim McIntosh was dropped, is likely to take the role in the one-dayers, if New Zealand decide to make the change. “Obviously the development of Martin Guptill has been a huge plus for us,” Wright said. “He has played incredibly well in the Twenty20 series and he worked ever so hard in the Test series, and he looks ever so promising.”Despite the 1-0 defeat in the Test series, Wright was encouraged by New Zealand’s show in the second Test when they stretched Pakistan for a hard-fought draw. “I was pleased with the improvement and quality of our play in Wellington. It was disappointing not to get a win, if we had broken that partnership [between Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan] we probably would have. I suppose we have got to learn to play sessions and we had a terrible session in Hamilton that cost us the series.”

Leila vai ao COF para explicar aditivos em contratos do Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

Leila Pereira, patrocinadora e conselheira do Palmeiras, foi à reunião do Conselho de Orientação e Fiscalização (COF) do clube, na segunda, para explicar os aditivos em contratos de jogadores contratados com aporte da Crefisa. Os cofistas queriam tratar destes acordos, que geraram ao Verdão agora um débito de cerca de R$ 120 milhões.

O encontro durou cerca de 30 minutos e contou no fim com perguntas e respostas de Leila. Mustafá Contursi, hoje desafeto da patrocinadora e um dos principais membros do COF, participou, mas não fez questionamentos e só acompanhou a reunião.

Alguns dos conselheiros chegaram a cogitar fazer um novo aditivo, por considerar o atual ruim financeiramente para o Palmeiras, mas não houve avanço – Leila disse aos cofistas que não quer onerar o clube. O COF ainda nem votou a aprovação dos balanços de janeiro e fevereiro por conta das divergências quanto a estes valores.

Maurício Galiotte, presidente do Verdão, também esteve na reunião. Em outras ocasiões, o dirigente já disse que considera esta uma “dívida coberta”, pois o clube tem os jogadores como ativos.

ENTENDA O CASO

A Crefisa recebeu uma pesada multa da Receita Federal por conta das contratações de jogadores – Luan (R$ 10 milhões), Fabiano (R$ 6,7 milhões), Bruno Henrique (R$ 14 milhões), Guerra (R$ 10 milhões), Thiago Santos (R$ 1 milhão), Borja (R$ 33 milhões), Deyverson (R$ 18 milhões), Dudu (R$ 10 milhões) e Lucas Lima (R$ 17,5 milhões). Em sua contabilidade, a empresa colocava os valores usados para isso como “despesa”.

Como esse dinheiro seria devolvido na hora da venda dos atletas, a Receita entendeu que não se tratava de “despesa”, mas de “empréstimo”. O que muda é a tributação. Por conta disso, teve de pagar multa no último ano e por consequência alterou a modalidade dos contratos em seu balancete.

Antes, a Crefisa receberia a quantia aportada em uma futura venda, sem correção. Após os aditivos, o dinheiro precisa ser devolvido com uma pequena correção, baseada no CDI, bem abaixo dos juros bancários.

Além disso, o clube precisa devolver todo o dinheiro aportado pela patrocinadora para compra de jogadores, mas só quando eles forem vendidos. Se não forem vendidos até o fim do contrato ou se saírem por valor menor do que o investido, o clube terá dois anos para ressarcir a Crefisa. Se houver lucro na operação, ele ficará com o Verdão.

Victoria batsman Ray Harvey dies

Ray Harvey – one of six brothers of whom two, Neil and Merv, went on to play for Australia, while an fourth, Mick, also played for his state – has died in Melbourne at the age of 85

Martin Williamson10-Jan-2011Ray Harvey – one of six brothers of whom two, Neil and Merv, went on to play for Australia, while a fourth, Mick, also played for his state – has died in Melbourne at the age of 85.Harvey was an attacking batsman who only managed to hold down a place in the Victoria side for two seasons. hile his ability was there for all to see, he perhaps lacked the drive of his more accomplished siblings. Bill Lawry said that he was one of the two best district cricketers he had faced.His first-class debut came in 1947-48, although he had already made his mark when scoring 86 for Victoria against Australian Services as a 17-year-old in 1943-44. In a side which contained three Harvey brothers, he scored 42 and 22 not out, but despite being given a long run in the team he failed to pass fifty.He was in and out of the team -more out than in – over the next few seasons, getting his chance when regulars were on Test duty, but finally looked the part when drafted in near the end of the 1952-53 summer, converting his maiden fifty into a career-best 121 against Western Australia.In 1953-54 he was a regular in the Victoria side, recording two more hundreds and making 699 runs at 49.92, and that earned him a place in the Australia XI against the England tourists at the start of the following summer in what was effectively a Test trial. But his form again fell away markedly, and in 15 matches over the next six season he passed fifty only twice, in consecutive innings at the end of 1958-59.For Fitzroy in Victorian Premier Cricket he was a major player, scoring 19 centuries and 9,146 runs in first-grade competition, both of which were club records. Like his brothers, he also represented his state at baseball.

Vice em 2017, Sub-20 do Fla inicia Copa do Brasil diante do Paysandu

MatériaMais Notícias

Vice-campeão em 2017, o Flamengo Sub-20 inicia nesta quinta a campanha em busca do título da Copa do Brasil da categoria diante do Paysandu. A partida será no Estádio Curuzu, em Belém, e o técnico Maurício Souza comentou a expectativa do clube da Gávea para o início da competição nacional.

– Estamos muito otimistas em fazer uma boa partida. O grupo se encontra focado. Sabemos das dificuldades do jogo, mas vamos em busca da vitória contra o Paysandu – afirmou o treinador ao site oficial do clube.

A Copa do Brasil é disputada em mata-mata em ida e volta. O jogo no Rio de Janeiro será no dia 5 de abril, em local ainda a ser definido. Se avançar, o Rubro-Negro enfrentará o vencedor de Vitória e Internacional. Na última temporada, o Flamengo foi derrotado pelo Atlético-MG na grande decisão, nos pênaltis, após empates em 1 a 1 e 0 a 0.

O sub-20 do Flamengo conta com caras conhecidas dos torcedores. São nomes como o atacante Vitor Gabriel e o zagueiro Patrick, que já estão integrados ao grupo principal e fizeram, em 2018, suas estreias entre os profissionais.

Além desta experiência, os garotos da Gávea também entra na competições como os atuais campeão da Copa SP de Futebol Júnior, conquistada em janeiro.

– Não sei se aumenta o favoritismo. O Flamengo em qualquer competição que entra é visto com esse favoritismo. Temos que manter o pé no chão, entender que é mata-mata, entrar extremamente concentrado e não deixar que isso não gere mais responsabilidade do que nós já temos – avaliou Maurício Souza.

'Big mistake to take any side lightly' – Dhoni

India should field a rare full-strength XI against a New Zealand side struggling to win games, but Dhoni isn’t taking their opposition lightly

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Nov-2010

AFP

It’s been a rarity in recent times to see a full-strength India XI on the field during a Test match. At the Motera stadium on Thursday, MS Dhoni may finally be able to call on the best available, and with no injuries or niggles to complain of on the eve of the game, it was a prospect that he was looking forward to. “We have important series coming up,” he said. “After this, we go to South Africa and then we have the World Cup. If you see the last few series we’ve played, more often than not we’ve missed key players.”The lack of continuity has been most keenly felt in the pace-bowling department. Zaheer Khan missed the three Tests in Sri Lanka, but has otherwise shouldered most of the pace burden, with no consistency at the other end. “Fast bowling is a demanding job,” Dhoni said. “If a batsman is only 70 or 80 percent, you can still gamble and play him, but with a fast bowler you can’t do that, especially when you’re playing with two seamers and two spinners. If you’re missing one bowler, it gets very difficult to get through 90 overs in a day.”New Zealand have lost eight of their last 15 Tests, and won only two, and were blanked 4-0 in a one-day series in Bangladesh recently. But according to Dhoni, there was no danger of India disrespecting their opponents or taking victory for granted. “It will be a big mistake to take any side lightly,” he said. “They’ve got players who have performed everywhere they have played. Whatever happened [to New Zealand] in Bangladesh, we’re not really thinking about that.”His own side have been ranked No.1 for nearly a year now and haven’t lost a series since Sri Lanka in 2008. “Over the last couple of years, we’ve done well abroad too,” said Dhoni when asked if he felt more pressure on home turf. “That’s one thing with the Indian cricket team. The expectation level keeps on going up. It never comes down. Once you achieve a certain level, you’re expected to maintain that or do better as a team. I think Indian cricketers have done well to manage the expectations and the extra pressure.”It doesn’t matter if you’re playing Australia, New Zealand or Bangladesh. We set ourselves short-term goals. When it comes to a particular game, a lot depends on the toss.”Talk of the No.1 ranking was greeted with the usual nonchalance. “Winning games is closer [to my heart],” he said. “When you win games, the ratings take care of themselves. What the players and support staff are bothered about is how we do on the field, whether we’ve prepared well and planned for the opposition. At times in international cricket, you will be outplayed. But if you’ve done everything that you can, we accept that.”He did suggest, however, that the winning habit did much for team spirit. “When a team has lost a few games and pressure is applied, if they don’t start well, they tend to fragment or go in different directions,” said Dhoni. “When a team’s used to winning, it sticks together and waits for an opportunity to do well or go back into a game.”That has been illustrated in each of India’s last three Tests, when they’ve had to chase in excess of 200 to win games. At the P Sara Oval and the Chinnaswamy Stadium, they did so comfortably. At Mohali, VVS Laxman’s genius helped them creep over the line in an incredibly tense finish. “I would certainly love to win the toss [laughs], but that’s one good thing that has happened,” he said. “In the fourth innings, batsmen have to play cautiously and even if set, one odd delivery can get you. It adds to the confidence of the batting unit.”The one man in that unit under a little pressure is Rahul Dravid, who hasn’t had the best time of it in 2010. “He’s a great player, and has always bounced back from situations like these,” said Dhoni. “Once he’s set, we’re hoping he gets a big score. He’s looking very good in the nets, so we expect runs from him.”There were encouraging words too for Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara, prominent in that Bangalore victory but certain to miss out on places in the XI here. “Vijay and Pujara were replacing Gautam Gambhir and VVS Laxman,” he said. “When you have players like that coming back, they find a place in the playing XI. But I don’t think it’s demotivating. Vijay has always done well for India. And Pujara batted really well in the second innings in the last game.”India have now lost the toss in 10 successive Tests [Dhoni captained in nine of them, missing Chittagong through injury] and the spin of the coin aside, there will also be much attention devoted to the pitch, which has seen scores of 76 and 760 in the last two games played at the Motera. “Hopefully, it will be a turner,” said Dhoni with a smile. “We’ll have to see before the start of play. It has less grass when compared to the Sri Lanka game [November 2009] and a lot less than the South Africa game [April 2008]. It looks like a normal Indian track.”

Com Jonas em alta, Carpegiani terá dor de cabeça boa no Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

Um dos assuntos que ainda está sendo comentado no Ninho do Urubu certamente é a grande vitória de virada contra o Emelec (EQU), fora de casa, pela Libertadores da América. O nome do jogo foi o garoto Vinicius Jr, com dois gols, mas outro que foi muito bem e recebeu elogios foi o volante Jonas.

O camisa 14 está vivendo um recomeço no Flamengo após passar por três clubes emprestado. Mais maduro, Jonas ganhou a chance de ser titular na Libertadores com a punição de Cuéllar e conseguiu desempenhar muito bem tudo que Paulo César Carpegiani o pediu.

O treinador terá agora uma dor de cabeça boa, para montar o time titular. Carpegiani atualmente atua no 4-1-4-1, com apenas um volante e agora ele terá de escolher entre Jonas e Cuéllar.

Como o próximo jogo do Flamengo na Libertadores será apenas no dia 18 de abril, o comandante Rubro-Negro terá tempo para pensar e também testar esquemas táticos, onde os dois possam até atuar juntos, liberando mais os homens de meio para comandar as principais jogadas do setor ofensivo.

مدرب غانا: نحن المرشح الأوفر حظًا للتتويج بمونديال قطر.. وهدفنا الفوز على البرتغال

وواصل: “لقد سمحنا ببعض الفرص، لكنها كانت قليلة وقمنا بإنتاج الكثير، لذا فأنا سعيد جدًا بهذه المباراة”.

وأردف: “الفوز، نعم، لا يجلب نقاطًا لكأس العالم، لذلك علينا التركيز على البرتغال، مع العلم أن هذه بداية جيدة، كان الأمر يتعلق بإظهار التركيز والتفاني”.

وأوضح: “كان لدى اللاعبين الكثير من الاستحواذ، وكانت هناك فرص وسجلنا هدفا ثم أصررنا وسجلنا الهدف الثاني”.

وفيما يتعلق بمواجهة البرتغال غدًا، في الجولة الأولى من مونديال قطر تابع: “بالتأكيد نريد البقاء على قيد الحياة في دور المجموعات، نريد أن نلعب مباراة تلو الأخرى لذا فإن تركيزنا الكامل ينصب على مواجهة البرتغال”.

وأكد: “إذا لم ننظر بعيدا جدًا وركزنا على المباراة القادمة، أعتقد أنه يمكننا القيام بشيء ما، من هناك، لا أحد يعرف، الأمر يعتمد على ما تحققه وكذلك كيف تلعب”.

واختتم: “من الصعب للغاية التكهن، لذا فإن تركيزنا الرئيسي هو الفوز على البرتغال، وهو أمر سيكون صعبًا للغاية، بعد ذلك سنلقي نظرة على الخطوة التالية”.
