Andrew Symonds has gained confidence from his breakthrough half-century against Pakistan after fearing the series might be his last

Cricinfo staff26-Apr-2009

Andrew Symonds has gained confidence from his breakthrough half-century against Pakistan after fearing the series might be his last as an international. Symonds was recalled after a couple of suspensions for off-field behaviour for the contest in the United Arab Emirates and knew that if he didn’t perform he would be on the way out.”I did feel like that,” he told AAP after his double of 58 and 2 for 12 helped Australia to a series-levelling six-wicket victory on Friday. “In the first game I got out and I thought: ‘Gee, there’s one down, I’ve got possibly five to go.’ That’s how I was looking at it.”After knee surgery following the Boxing Day Test, Symonds struggled on his return for Queensland and was left out of the South Africa tour to continue his rehabilitation from personal issues that had hampered him since his gone fishing episode last year. “I’d been away for quite a while and that was probably the main thing that was going through my head the last little bit, whether I could find the way that I played successfully when I was in the side,” he said. “It was a very important innings for me.”I’m glad that it happened now and not in two games’ time or the last game, because this has given me a bit of confidence going into the next few games that I play. There’s a bit of relief there and believing that I can do what I used to do is a great thing to feel again.”If he can continue to show improvement – the third game is in Abu Dhabi on Monday – Symonds will be a certainty for the World Twenty20 and may come into consideration for the Ashes. Michael Clarke said Symonds was still a key member of the side.”Without a doubt Symo in form is brilliant in any team,” Clarke said. “Obviously his batting’s a given, when he’s scoring runs he’s brilliant to have because he can win a game, no matter what form of the game, on his own. His fielding and bowling speaks for itself as well.”

Após um empate sem gols com o Cruzeiro e uma vitória por 3 a 1 sobre a Ponte Preta, o Vitória parece, finalmente, estar entrando nos eixos do Campeonato Brasileiro. Sem poder tropeçar, a equipe tem o Flamengo como próximo adversário. Ciente da importância do resultado, o goleiro Fernando Miguel comentou sobre o desafio de enfrentar o Rubro Negro no Rio de Janeiro.

– Vamos ter um adversário muito difícil pela frente, que vem de derrota na competição e vai em busca da recuperação. Tem tudo para ser um jogo muito equilibrado. Temos que manter o equilíbrio tático que tivemos nas duas últimas partidas e o comprometimento para buscarmos pontos nesta rodada – declarou o goleiro.

Ocupando a penúltima colocação do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Vitória acumula 16 pontos. Quatro a menos que o primeiro time fora da zona de rebaixamento, Bahia, e a mesma quantidade a mais do que o Atlético-GO, último colocado, com 12 pontos. Apesar dos números ruins, o goleiro destaca a confiança da equipe após duas rodadas sem derrota.

– Nós estamos crescendo de produção, fazendo bons jogos e isso vem dando confiança ao elenco para deixar o Z4 e não voltar mais para ele. Vamos lutar muito para conquistar este primeiro passo nas próximas partidas. Só depende da gente e estamos motivados para isso – finalizou.

Sob olhares de Reinaldo Rueda, o Flamengo encarou o Atlético-MG no Independência e acabou sendo derrotado por 2 a 0. De pênalti, Fábio Santos marcou e Rafael Moura fechou o placar do jogo que abriu o segundo turno para os dois times. Com o resultado manteve a diferença de 18 pontos para o líder Corinthians e briga agora é basicamente por uma vaga na Libertadores.

O JOGO

O primeiro tempo de partida no Horto foi muito fraco tecnicamente. Sem nenhuma chance clara para os dois times, o Galo contou com um erro bobo de Miguel Trauco para abrir o placar. O lateral-esquerdo puxou Luan dentro da área e o árbitro marcou o pênalti. Na cobrança, o Fla depositou suas confianças em Diego Alves, mas Fábio Santos teve tranquilidade para estufar as redes.

No restante da primeira etapa, as duas equipes brigaram muito pela posse de bola no meio de campo e o jogo ficou feio. O Flamengo encontrou dificuldades na saída de bola, enquanto os donos da casa não conseguiam ter tranquilidade para escolher as jogadas decisivas no setor ofensivo.

No início do segundo tempo, o que era ruim ficou ainda pior. Em tarde pouco inspirada, Trauco recebeu cartão vermelho após um erro de passe e logo em seguida o Galo ampliou com Rafael Moura, aproveitando grande jogada de Luan, que não encontrou dificuldades na hora de passar da marcação de Réver.

Jayme de Almeida mexeu na equipe, mas substituições não surtiram efeito. Com um a menos em campo, o Rubro-Negro não conseguia sair do campo de defesa e Victor não teve trabalho durante toda a segunda etapa no Independência.

O Atlético-MG tinha espaço para trabalhar as bolas e arriscar de longe. Com isso, Micale lançou Otero para tentar fazer mais gols. O venezuelano entrou querendo jogo e deu trabalho para Diego Alves.

Nos minutos finais, o Rubro-Negro ainda tentava algumas saídas em velocidade, mas em todas as investidas os marcadores atleticanos conseguiram sair com a bola dominada. A atuação do Flamengo no Independência foi uma das piores da temporada de 2017 e ficou claro que Reinaldo Rueda terá trabalho.

Durante todo o tempo de jogo, o treinador colombiano conversou com seu auxiliar e fez anotações sobre o que estava observando em campo. Vale lembrar também que Reinaldo Rueda não observou três dos principais jogadores do grupo. Os suspensos Everton e Diego e também o atacante Guerrero, que está se recuperando de lesão na coxa direita ficaram no Rio. Com o chefe novo, foco agora é na Copa do Brasil.

Último técnico campeão nacional pelo Flamengo, Jayme de Almeida comanda o Flamengo interinamente na noite desta quarta-feira, às 21h45, contra o Palestino (CHI), pela segunda fase da Copa Sul-Americana. O Rubro-Negro está praticamente classificado para as oitavas de final do torneio, pois goleou o adversário no jogo de ida, no Chile, por 5 a 2.

Somente uma hecatombe deixa o Flamengo fora da Sul-Americana. O time pode perder até por 3 a 0 ou 4 a 1 que ainda assim estará classificado para as oitavas de final da competição.

Apesar da boa lembrança com o título da Copa do Brasil de 2013, Jayme não foi bem na última vez que comandou o Flamengo como técnico interino. Com ele à beira do campo, o Rubro-Negro foi derrotado pelo Fortaleza, por 2 a 1, em Volta Redonda, e caiu ainda na segunda fase da Copa do Brasil.

O meia Everton Ribeiro, que será titular no jogo desta quarta, diz que Jayme passou tranquilidade ao grupo do Flamengo.

– Ele já está no dia a dia com a gente. Já foi campeão aqui com o manto. Ninguém melhor nesse momento poder assumir a responsabilidade. Ele nos passou tranquilidade. Pediu para jogarmos com alegria, o que ele pediu foi organização na hora de atacar e defender. Poder jogar solto, mas atenção. É jogo perigoso, não podemos cair na armadilha de que o jogo está ganho – disse o camisa 7 do Flamengo.

New Zealand A won another high-scoring contest at Fitzherbert Park to clinch the series against the visiting England Lions 2-0

Cricinfo staff16-Mar-2009
ScorecardNew Zealand A won another high-scoring contest at Fitzherbert Park to clinch the series against the visiting England Lions 2-0. Set 285 to win, James Marshall took charge of the chase with an aggressive century to secure victory with six wickets in hand and 23 balls to spare.England Lions chose to bat in this game, after their decision to field in the first match had resulted in a target of 374. They got off to a quick start, with the openers adding 36 before Robert Key was dismissed in the seventh over. However, Denly, who top-scored with 68, ensured that England continued to score steadily. It was after his dismissal – caught by Ewen Thompson off Nathan McCullum – that the innings began to unravel. From 138 for 1, England Lions slipped to 148 for 4. They never regained momentum and had to settle for 284 when they looked like scoring more than 300 at one stage.They would have needed a lot more than 300 going by the way New Zealand’s chase turned out. The hosts lost an early wicket – Aaron Redmond for 17 – but Marshall’s 125 off 112 balls was the decisive innings in the match. He added 65 with Peter Ingram for the second wicket and remained steady through a middle-order stumble that left New Zealand A on 138 for 4. Marshall then put on 147 with Gareth Hopkins, who scored 66 off 67 balls, to clinch the series for the hosts.

Flocking to Twitter, many Southampton fans have erupted over a behind-the-scenes managerial claim involving Ralph Hasenhuttl.

The 54-year-old appears to be under mounting pressure amid the Saints’ run of form and overall poor start to the 2021/2022 Premier League season.

Southampton, after losing key players like Danny Ings and Jannik Vestergaard in the summer window, find themselves 17th in the table having won no games so far.

While they have enjoyed some noteworthy results against the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham – managing to grab a point against each of the European trio – Hasenhuttl’s men could still be flirting with a possible drop to the Championship at the end of this season.

Football Insider and journalist Wayne Veysey have now come out with a behind-the-scenes claim involving Saints’ boss, with Southampton players apparently expecting him to be sacked in the ‘coming weeks’.

Indeed, a ‘dressing room’ source has apparently told the outlet that there is a ‘strong feeling’ among members of the squad that he won’t be in charge at St Mary’s much longer.

Flocking to this claim, many supporters have erupted in response – find all of their best verdicts from Twitter down below.

A number of Liverpool supporters have reacted negatively to a transfer rumour linking Roberto Firmino with a move to Bayern Munich and AC Milan.

The Reds enjoyed a hugely impressive 5-0 win away to Watford on Saturday afternoon, going top of the Premier League for a few hours until Chelsea regained pole position.

Jurgen Klopp’s men produced a wonderful attacking display at Vicarage Road, and while Mohamed Salah once again made the headlines, it was a great day for Firmino, too.

[freshpress-quiz id=“375258″]

The Brazilian bagged a hat-trick at Watfod, meaning he has now scored four Premier League goals in just two starts this season, suggesting that he is somewhere close to his best again.

Despite this resurgence in form, Calciomercato have claimed [via Anfield Edition on Twitter] that Bayern and Milan are both eyeing up a move for Firmino, with his current Liverpool deal expiring in 2023.

Amit Mishra picked up a career-best 6 for 25 © Cricinfo Ltd
North ZoneAmit Mishra picked up career-best figures to bowl Haryana to a 125-run win over Jammu & Kashmir at the Jawaharlal Navoday Vidhyalay Stadium. Given a total of 302 to defend, Haryana’s new-ball pair struck early but it was Mishra who laughed all the way home. He struck immediately to dismiss Ian Dev Singh (42) and then bowled Feroz Ahmed for a duck next ball. With the rest of the attack maintaining the pressure on J&K, Mishra snapped up four wickets down the order to finish with 6 for 25. Haryana had made first use of the track and piled up a large total that was rather top-heavy. The No’s 3 and 4, Sunny Singh and Sumit Sharma, scored 82 and 84 respectively. Those were crucial knocks because the next best was 34 from Dhruv Singh. Samiullah Beigh, who had removed the openers for cheap and trapped Sharma lbw, took 4 for 57.Another six-wicket hero was India Under-19 fast bowler Siddarth Kaul, whose success set up Punjab’s victory over Himachal Pradesh in Dharamsala. Kaul was extremely difficult to face in the morning and quickly had the home side – who were already assured of a quarter-final berth – 16 for 4. Further blows left them 17 for 5, but Ajay Mannu’s 72 and former India offspinner Sarandeep Singh’s unbeaten 50 got the total to 205. That would prove a breeze for Punjab. Vishwas Bhalla, in his first game for Punjab ever, hit an unbeaten 108 from just 109 balls as the visitors eased home by eight wickets. He shared a 116-run stand for the second wicket with Uday Kaul (50) and collected 15 fours and two sixes.Aakash Chopra, Delhi’s captain, led from the front with a fine 95 to help defeat Services by six wickets in Una and book a berth in the quarterfinals. Chasing 232 to win, Delhi were given a winning hand from Chopra, who held up one end until he was dismissed short of a century. Along the way he was assisted by Virat Kohli (45) and Mithun Manhas (54). Earlier, Services scored 231 for 8 after winning the toss, riding on half-centuries by Yashpal Singh (57) and Tahir Khan (55). Yogesh Nagar was the pick of the bowlers for Delhi, claiming 3 for 55.Delhi and HP, with four wins each, have qualified from North Zone for the last-eight stage of the competition.East ZoneA pair of Das’, batsman Rashmi and new-ball bowler Preetamjit, starred in Orissa’s 29-run win over Assam in Eden Gardens. Rashmi’s unbeaten 96 from No. 6 helped smooth over a top and middle order wobble and get the total to 245 for 7. Backing his team-mate’s stellar effort, Preetamjit took four wickets to help bowl Assam out for 216 inside 48 overs. Having opted to bat, Orissa’s line-up was checked by Assam’s medium-pacers, especially Dhiraj Goswami. They were 66 for 4 before Natraj Behera (49) and Rashmi formed a small stand. After Behera’s dismissal at 111, a 102-run stand followed between Rashmi and Rakesh Mohanty (37). Rashmi finished on 96 from 98 balls, with 12 fours and a six. Assam were not allowed to form sizeable stands up front, but contributions from Deepak Sharma (88), Sarupam Purkayastha (32) and Goswami (37) appeared to have them back on track. Then Preetamjit dismissed Sharma and Goswami and Assam collapsed.Jharkhand picked up their second win of the tournament, defeating Tripura by three wickets with just four deliveries remaining in Kolkata. Their chase towards 237 had begun with a 118-run opening stand between the debutant Siddhartha Sinha (62) and Rameez Nemat (80), but Tripura struck blows to stem the momentum. Jharkhand lost Saurabh Tiwary first ball and slipped to 215 for 7 after 47 overs. It took some serious focus from No. 3 Ishank Jaggi, who remained not out on 46 from 50 balls.

Reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano has claimed the Manchester United board are still backing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And a number of Red Devils supporters have been reacting to his post on social media.

United have struggled in recent weeks, losing to Young Boys in the Champions League, West Ham in the Carabao Cup and Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Former Liverpool man Didi Hamann has been the latest to share his prediction regarding the 48-year-old, believing it is only a matter of time until he is gone, but that doesn’t appear to be in the pipeline according to Romano.

Romano shared a link to his ‘Here We Go’ podcast on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, sharing a number of topics that were discussed. One of which was on the United boss, to which he tweeted ‘Man Utd board still backing Solskjaer’.

United fans react

Romano’s Twitter post had a number of United fans talking. Here’s what some had to say in reply…

Sem jogar desde 8 de junho, sua única partida pelo São Paulo, Maicosuel apareceu no campo do CT da Barra Funda nesta quarta-feira. O atacante passa por trabalho de reequilíbrio muscular e fará reavaliação na próxima semana para ter ideia de quando poderá atuar novamente.

Nos exercícios desta tarde, o camisa 7 correu entre os cones e fez movimentos com bola ao lado do lateral-direito Lucas Farias, que estava emprestado ao Estoril, de Portugal, e se recupera de cirurgia no joelho esquerdo. Foi o primeiro trabalho de Maicosuel no gramado sob o olhar da imprensa, mas ele já vem realizando esses treinos nos últimos dias.

Maicosuel segue sob responsabilidade dos fisioterapeutas, com a ideia de que esteja melhor fisicamente para correr menos risco de lesões. No São Paulo, ele foi titular no triunfo por 2 a 0 sobre o Vitória, em 8 de junho, no dia seguinte à sua chegada ao clube e saiu no intervalo reclamando de dores no púbis. Tinha atuado quatro dias antes pelo seu ex-clube, o Atlético-MG.

O atacante pediu para não receber salários enquanto não tiver condições de jogar novamente e foi atendido pela diretoria. O jogador de 31 anos custou 1 milhão de euros (cerca de R$ 3,6 milhões) ao Tricolor e assinou contrato até a metade de 2020.
