England wait on Broad availability

Stuart Broad did not train at The Oval on Wednesday but England said that was always the plan and insisted he remains on course to be available for the final Investec Test against India

Andrew McGlashan13-Aug-2014Stuart Broad did not train at The Oval on Wednesday but England said that was always the plan and insisted he remains on course to be available for the final Investec Test against India after suffering a fractured nose from a Varun Aaron bouncer at Old Trafford.Broad retired hurt after the ball squeezed between his grille and helmet on the third day at Old Trafford. He was stitched up by the England doctor at the ground before heading to hospital where X-rays confirmed the fracture but a specialist advised that the damage was not serious enough to require surgery.The initial moments after Broad was struck looked nasty, as blood dripped on to the Old Trafford pitch, but with the outcome not being as serious as it appeared it could be his team-mates have spotted a chance for some gentle ribbing, with sympathy in short supply.Stuart Broad has seen a specialist after suffering a fractured nose at Old Trafford•Stuart Broad/Twitter

“It’s not very pretty,” Joe Root said. “He’s not got his ‘boy band’ looks you’d normally associate with Stuart. He’s milking it definitely … as you’ll probably have seen on all the social network sites.”But I’m sure he’ll be desperate to play on Friday. He’s obviously in good form and will want to finish the series strongly with the rest of us.”A picture posted by Broad on Twitter on Tuesday showed him sporting a pair of black eyes but the England camp have been confident that he would not be kept out of the final Test of the season and included him as part of an unchanged squad.There have been suggestions, started by Broad, that he may need to wear a protective mask – the type seen in other sports after facial injuries – although that may not be the case now with some type of splint being another option considered.Broad has been a key part of England’s resurgence in the last two Tests, taking 6 for 25 at Old Trafford to follow an important role at the Ageas Bowl.Root believes the secret to the change in fortunes was how the team stuck together in the wake of the Lord’s defeat and when the threat of James Anderson being banned was hanging over the team, although to suggest England have been able to “throw a punch back” was perhaps slightly unfortunate.”The good thing that came from that was that we didn’t let it affect us,” Root said. “That may be one way where we did get slightly more tight. It gave us another incentive to want to throw a punch back at them.”I don’t think we can really rest on the fact we’ve played well in the last couple of games. India are a very good side – we know that – and we’re going to have to make sure we do everything we can to win this series comfortably.”Such was the turmoil England found themselves in just a few weeks ago that it was being suggested in some dispatches that the captaincy should he handed to Root. After two wins and a few runs for Alastair Cook that topic has been put away for the time being, but for Root it never even entered his thoughts.”It didn’t come anywhere near the front of my mind,” he said. “We knew that Alastair is the man to take us forward. That’s one area we’ve been very good, we’ve stayed very tight to what we believe in and I think that’s why we’ve managed to turn it around. It’s only a start but if we continue the way we have then we have a very good chance of improving as a Test side.”If Broad does take his place in the line-up on Friday, the only decision for the selectors is whether to stick with Chris Woakes and Chris Jordan as the support seamers. The pair have only taken four wickets between them so there could be a temptation to recall Steven Finn for his first Test since facing Australia, at Trent Bridge, last July.Two days out, the Test strip had a tinge of green but The Oval does not have the reputation of leaving much grass on its Test wickets. England would like it to carry as the Old Trafford strip did, but recent Test surfaces here have not been fliers.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Mervin Mathew’s 3 for 15 set up a shock seven-wicket victory for St Lucia Zouks over Jamaica Tallawahs on Saturday at Warner Park in St Kitts. The Zouks registered just their second win of the season while the Tallawahs wasted a chance to leapfrog the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel into sole possession of first place in CPL 2014.The Tallawahs got off to a decent start after being sent in to bat as Chadwick Walton bashed five sixes on his way to top-scoring with 48 opening the innings. However, no one else in the top five made it past 10. Darren Sammy caused some middle-order damage with the wickets of Owais Shah for 8 and Adam Voges for 4.Mathew made further inroads with the wickets of Nkrumah Bonner for 10 and Andre Russell for 18 to deprive the Tallawahs their best chance of a strong finishing kick to the innings. Mathew dismissed Jerome Taylor on the first ball of the 20th for the last Tallawahs wicket as they were wiped out for 143, a paltry total considering the tiny boundaries at Warner Park.After Daniel Vettori removed Johnson Charles in the fifth over of the chase for 16, Andre Fletcher and Kevin Pietersen produced a 60-run stand for the second wicket as the Zouks coasted toward the below-par target. Pietersen’s mere presence underscored how badly he was missed throughout the earlier part of a season in which the Zouks middle order routinely folded cheaply. Fletcher played with increasing freedom and finished with a game-high 49 off 35 balls before he fell leg before to Russell in the 13th.Pietersen only made 23 by the time he was dismissed in the 16th to make it 119 for 3, but the stability he provided took pressure off the rest of the Zouks squad. Henry Davids (29 not out) and Sohail Tanvir (20 not out) finished off the match with ease as Tanvir clubbed two sixes in the 18th to finish off the game with 15 balls to spare.

Na manhã deste sábado, a partir das 11h (Horário de Brasília), a Arena Barueri recebe o confronto paulista entre Oeste e Bragantino, válido pela 10ª rodada da Série B.

Nas primeiras nove partidas, o Oeste apresenta um desempenho ruim, com apenas 11 pontos e na 14ª colocação. Já o Massa Bruta vive um momento completamente diferente e aparece na liderança do torneio, com 19 pontos.

Próximo da zona de rebaixamento, o clima dentro do Oeste é de tensão. A equipe quer aproveitar o jogo diante do líder para respirar de vez e espantar a má fase. A principal novidade é a presença do zagueiro Kanu, que volta de suspensão e está confirmado no time titular.

Do lado do Bragantino o técnico Antonio Carlos Zago ligou o sinal de alerta. Após um mês de pausa, a equipe foi derrotada na volta da Série B pelo Paraná e o comandante não descarta mudanças para o segundo jogo fora de casa.

Sem nenhum jogador suspenso ou lesionado, o treinador declarou que os atletas precisam ‘ter raiva’ para concluir as jogadas e espera três pontos para manter a ponta da tabela.

Caso não tenha nenhuma mudança de última hora, o Bragantino entra com essa formação: Júlio César; Aderlan, Léo Ortiz, Ligger e Edimar; Barreto, Uillian Correia e Ytalo; Claudinho, Wesley e Thiago Ribeiro.

جفاف ميلان يستمر بتعادل سلبي أمام بوروسيا دورتموند في دوري أبطال أوروبا

انتهت مباراة بوروسيا دورتموند الألماني وميلان الإيطالي بالتعادل السلبي بين الفريقين، ضمن الجولة الثانية من المجموعة السابعة ببطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.

ميلان بعد التعادل سلبيًا في الجولة الأولى مع نيوكاسل، كرر نفس الأمر أمام دورتموند، بينما الجراد الأصفر لم يتمكن من تحقيق أي انتصار خلال أول جولتين، بعدما خسر في أولى مبارياته ضد باريس سان جيرمان في فرنسا.

طوفان جماهير سيجنال إيدونا بارك لم يُمكن النادي الأصفر من التغلب على ميلان، في الشوط الأول عند الدقيقة 27 أهدر مالين فرصة التقدم لأصحاب الأرض، ولكن لحسن حظ مايك ماينان مرت الكرة بجانب القائم الأيسر.

وقبل نهاية الشوط الأول كاد جيرو أن يسجل هدفًا للضيوف، لكن الكرة مرت من أمام قدمه دون السيطرة عليها، لتصل إلى كوبيل بسهولة.

في الدقيقة 54 كاد بوليسيتش أن يسجل بعد تمريرة جيرو، لكن لاعب بوروسيا دورتموند الأسبق، لم ينجح في إيصال الكرة لشباك فريقه السابق.

قبل لحظات من نهاية المباراة طالب فلورينزي بركلة جزاء لصالح ميلان، لكن الحكم لم يحتسب شيئًا، قبل أن يطلق صافرته معلنًا نهاية اللقاء.

بهذه النتيجة يصبح رصيد ميلان نقطتين في المركز الثالث، بينما بوروسيا دورتموند يتذيل جدول ترتيب المجموعة بدون رصيد من النقاط.

Micromax bags series title rights for 2014-15

Micromax has bagged the BCCI’s series title sponsorship rights for Rs 20.02 million per match for all international cricket to be played in India in the 2014-15 season

Last year, Star India was the lone bidder for title rights despite the season including Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell Test•BCCI

Micromax has bagged the BCCI’s series title sponsorship rights for Rs 20.02 million per match for all international cricket to be played in India in the 2014-15 season. India are scheduled to play one home series in this period, against the West Indies. Micromax will also be entitled to title rights for five major domestic tournaments including the Ranji Trophy.The rights were awarded when the BCCI marketing committee opened the bid documents in the presence of Micromax officials, who submitted the lone bid, in Mumbai on Thursday. The BCCI has once again failed to attract sponsors for international cricket in India. Star India, the lone bidder for the 2013-14 cycle, won the rights last year at the base price of Rs 20 million.Sanjay Patel, the BCCI secretary, attributed the lack of market interest to “only one series slated for the rights cycle”. Patel said the board was delighted to have a new corporate on board. The BCCI expects more corporate interest for the next rights cycle.”By the time the next tender would be floated, market conditions would have improved,” Patel said. “Besides, the new FTP cycle would have started and we will be better placed to evaluate the situation.”

مودريتش يرد على أنباء رحيله عن ريال مدريد.. ويصرح: أريد أن ألعب

تحدث النجم الكرواتي لوكا مودريتش عن وضعه الجديد في ناديه ريال مدريد الإسباني، والأنباء المتداولة حول إمكانية رحيله في ظل تواجده على مقاعد البدلاء في عدة مباريات.

وشهد مودريتش تقليصًا لمشاركاته مع ريال مدريد هذا الموسم، تحت قيادة المدير الفني كارلو أنشيلوتي، مع منح فرصة أكبر للمشاركة للاعبين الشباب أمثال جود بيلينجهام وتشواميني وكامافينجا وفالفيردي.

وارتبط مودريتش بإمكانية الرحيل في يناير مع وجود عروض من الدوري السعودي والدوري الأمريكي.

وقال مودريتش في تصريحات نشرتها “onze mondial” الفرنسية: “وضعي في ريال مدريد؟ حسنًا، إنه أمر جديد بالنسبة لي أنني لا ألعب بالقدر الذي اعتدت عليه وبالقدر الذي أرغب فيه”.

وأضاف: “كما تعلمون، أريد دائمًا اللعب، ولا أريد الحصول على فترات راحة، لا أريد أن آخذ إجازة خاصة وأنني أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة”.

وتابع مودريتش: “إنه الوضع الحالي فقط وقد يكون له فوائد للمستقبل، لذلك سنرى، لكنني لا أريد ذلك، أريد أن ألعب، إذا لزم الأمر كل 3 أيام، لأنني أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة بدنيًا”.

وأكد الكرواتي: “ستكون قصة مختلفة إذا لم أشعر أنني بحالة جيدة، لكن جسديًا وذهنيًا ما زلت حاضرًا”.

وأشار مودريتش: “أريد أن ألعب، كل ما يحدث من حولي هو عملية طبيعية، لذلك أنا أتقبل الأمر بهذه الطريقة ويجب أن أعد نفسي ذهنيًا لهذا الموقف، وأقبله وأمضي قدمًا”.

وشارك مودريتش مع ريال مدريد في 9 مباريات هذا الموسم، منها 7 في الدوري الإسباني، و2 بدوري أبطال أوروبا، بواقع 391 دقيقة في جميع المواجهات. 

Former WI seamer Lawson in USA squad

Former West Indies fast bowler Jermaine Lawson could make his USA debut after being chosen in a 14-man squad for the ICC WCL Division Three, which will take place in Malaysia this month

Former West Indies fast bowler Jermaine Lawson could make his USA debut after being chosen in a 14-man squad for the ICC WCL Division Three, which takes place between October 23 and 30 in Malaysia. Lawson, 32, once took a Test hat-trick for West Indies in his 13-Test career, but had not appeared for them since the opening Test in Brisbane against Australia in November 2005.Lawson moved to the USA in 2010 and qualified to play for USA this year based on the ICC’s four-year residency requirement. He becomes the third former West Indies international in the last two years to be selected for USA in an ICC tournament squad, joining Adam Sanford and former USA captain Neil McGarrell, who have both been dropped following USA’s 15th place finish in their most recent event, the World T20 Qualifier last November in the UAE.Lawson has not appeared in a USACA tournament since 2011 and instead has kept busy barnstorming around the country in private T20 tournaments. He has also been playing club cricket in New Jersey and New York, where he now resides. His selection for USA, though, comes at a curious time given that there are still doubts in local cricket surrounding the legality of his bowling action; he had been called for throwing in a local league in Jamaica, in 2006.Three more names who figure prominently as returnees to the USA squad are Steve Massiah, Usman Shuja and Aditya Thyagarajan. Massiah resigned as USA captain ahead of last year’s World T20 Qualifier in what USACA stated in a press release was a move to allow Massiah to focus on his batting. Massiah was initially named in the squad to tour the UAE, but withdrew prior to the squad’s departure for Abu Dhabi, allegedly due to a rift with the touring squad management.Shuja and Thyagarajan were controversially axed from the USA squad ahead of the team’s participation in the last WCL Division Three tournament in Bermuda, in 2013. Shuja is USA’s second-highest wicket-taker in 50-over cricket, and Thyagarajan is the team’s fourth highest run-scorer in the same format. Their experience was badly missed at the event, as USA suffered a shocking upset on the final day of the group phase at the hands of Bermuda, a team they had not lost to in ICC tournaments since 2005. The result put USA in third place and kept them out of the World Cup Qualifiers in New Zealand.The return of Massiah, Shuja, Thyagarajan and opening batsman Sushil Nadkarni is a plus for USA, part of a big shakeup following a miserable performance last year in the UAE. Besides McGarrell and Sanford, six other players were dropped, including Timroy Allen and Orlando Baker. Baker captained USA to an 8-0 success at the ICC Americas Division One Twenty20 tournament in Florida last year, while Allen served as vice-captain to McGarrell in the UAE and stood in as captain for two matches when McGarrell was injured late in the tournament. Allen was named Man of the Match in USA’s only win in the group phase, against Canada.The other four players to be axed were fast bowler Imran Awan, wicketkeeper Akeem Dodson, and allrounders Barrington Bartley and Japen Patel, who captained the South East Region to a share of the tournament title at the USACA Twenty20 National Championship in August. The other two players entering the squad are Adil Bhatti, who earns a recall after being named the best batsman at the USACA Nationals in Florida, and Timil Patel, a former Ranji Trophy representative for Gujarat.Timil rose to prominence at the national level in 2012 when he starred for the Southern California Cricket Association in their championship win at the first American Cricket Federation T20 National Championship. He was drafted into the USA squad for the first time later that year against Canada in the annual Auty Cup series. Timil captained USA in 2013 against Canada in Toronto but the legspinning allrounder was ineligible to play for USA at ICC tournaments until this year due to the four-year residency rule. Timil moved to Los Angeles in 2010 where he plays for Vijayta Cricket Club, currently undefeated and in first place in the SCCA, which still maintains its status as an ACF league.USACA did not name a captain in the squad release, but sources have indicated that Massiah has a prominent say in the composition of this squad and is in line to take the mantle once again. USACA also stated in its release that the rest of the tour management would also be named at a later date. USA will play their first game of the tournament against Bermuda, on October 23.USA squad: Danial Ahmed, Fahad Babar, Adil Bhatti, Karan Ganesh, Muhammad Ghous, Elmore Hutchinson, Jermaine Lawson, Steve Massiah, Sushil Nadkarni, Timil Patel, Srinivasa Santhanam, Usman Shuja, Steven Taylor (wk), Aditya Thyagarajan
