The West Indies women’s team is confident of beating England in the final ODI to clinch the series 2-1

Cricinfo staff07-Nov-2009West Indies women have fancied their chances of winning the final ODI against England in St Kitts and taking the series 2-1. Their coach, the former opener Sherwin Campbell, said the team was upbeat ahead of the final match at Warner Park and were confident of an upset.”We now have the final ODI on Saturday and I believe we have a realistic chance of beating England and winning the series,” he said. “There is self-belief in this team and a lot of confidence.”West Indies won the first ODI by 40 runs and narrowly lost the second by 13 runs. The loss on Thursday led England to level the series one all. Rainford-Brent made 72 opening the batting and had solid support from Jenny Gunn, who was promoted to No. 3 and scored 57, as England reached 232 for 5 having chosen to bat first. Stafanie Taylor proved a handful with the ball, collecting 3 for 29 from her ten overs, but she was unable to carry that momentum into the West Indies innings when she was the first out for 2.West Indies were unable to chase despite a cautious 57 from opener Pamela Lavine. Merissa Aguilleira kept the scorecard ticking with her 44 but was run out by Holly Colvin in the 46th over.Campbell was pleased with his team’s effort despite the loss. “On Thursday we could not complete the job but I thought we played well,” he said. “There was a bit of panic there at the end and I felt our inexperience at this level is what beat us.”

Many Aston Villa fans have been left buzzing over some news on Marvelous Nakamba.

As per the official Twitter page of the Villa Park faithful, the central midfielder has won the club’s Player of the Month (POTM) award for November, in partnership with Cazoo.

Nakamba played the full lavishing praise from Steven Gerrard for his performances.

The Zimbabwe international has been one of AVFC’s most consistent performers in the Premier League this season, ranking highly among his teammates in terms of average tackles (2.2) and pass success (86.7%) per game (WhoScored),  and there is no doubt that his award is richly deserved.

Na derrota do Atlético-MG por 3 a 2 para a Chapecoense, na última quarta-feira, o atleticano Robinho protagonizou um lance incomum. Após receber lançamento e dominar a bola pelo lado esquerdo do ataque, o camisa 7, marcado por Douglas Grolli, pedalou e logo após cometeu a falta no defensor, causando uma pequena discussão. Na sequência do lance, o atacante foi tirar satisfação com Moisés, volante da Chape: “Jogou onde?” perguntou ele.

Não é a primeira vez que Robinho tem essa atitude arrogante dentro das quatro linhas. Em 2016, no jogo contra o América-MG, o atacante repetiu a mesma pergunta para Osman, que atualmente defende a Chapecoense.

Com a derrota, o Atlético-MG se distanciou ainda mais da zona de classificação para a Copa Libertadores, permanecendo na 9ª posição, com 38 pontos. O próximo compromisso da equipe mineira é no próximo domingo contra o Cruzeiro, no Mineirão, às 17h.

تعرض مالك نادي تشيلسي الجديد، تود بوهلي، للسخرية عبر موقع التواصل الاجتماعي الشهير “تويتر” خلال الساعات القليلة الماضية بسبب محمد صلاح وكيفن دي بروين.

وخرج بوهلي للحديث والإشادة بأكاديمية تشيلسي وما تخرجه في كل عام من مواهب تضيف لعالم كرة القدم الإنجليزية في السنوات الأخيرة.

وقال الأمريكي في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “لدينا واحدة من أفضل الأكاديميات في العالم، إذا نظرت إلى ما طورته أكاديميتنا، هي التي أخرجت لاعبين مثل محمد صلاح وكيفن دي بروين”.

ومن هنا بدأت سخرية بعض الجماهير عبر السوشيال ميديا في “تويتر” لتصحيح الأمر بالنسبة لبوهلي الذي يبدو وأنه لا يعرف أن محمد صلاح قد تم شراءه من بازل وكانت بدايته في المقاولون العرب.

بينما كانت بداية دي بروين في نادي جينك قبل الانتقال إلى تشيلسي والرحيل فيما بعد إلى الدوري الألماني.

كان محمد صلاح وكيفن دي بروين في ذلك الوقت يبلغان 22 و21 عامًا، وبالتالي، فهما ليس من أبناء أكاديميات تشيلسي وهو ما أدى إلى هذه السخرية من جانب المشجعين.

Following Newcastle United’s first league win of the season last weekend against Burnley, Magpies boss Eddie Howe will be keen to have a fresh bill of health as they travel to face a Leicester City side who may be short on confidence on Sunday afternoon.

Newcastle defender Fabian Schär set up Callum Wilson’s winner against the Clarets as well as keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 victory. However, the 29-year-old required treatment during the game and missed training earlier in the week.

What’s the latest?

When speaking ahead of the trip to the King Power Stadium, Howe stated that there were a “couple of knocks and niggles” in the squad and that Schär “had a rib problem earlier in the week and missed a bit of training” but “hopefully he’ll be ok.”

The Swiss international has started all four of Howe’s games in charge of the Toon Army thus far, having previously not featured since late August, and has already proved to be a key asset for the new manager.

Granted, the defender had a quiet game against Burnley, making three clearances and blocking one shot according to SofaScore. Schär may have had an assist but also posted a passing accuracy of just 42% and lost possession 20 times in what was a mixed performance.

However, having played just six times this season, Schär is still bound to be rusty and could well be a key player for Howe once he reaches his peak form.

United are also set to welcome back Ciaran Clark from suspension after the Irishman was sent off early in the 1-1 draw with Norwich City, further boosting Howe’s defensive arsenal this weekend.

With Jamaal Lascelles also fit after his recent return from suspension, Howe suddenly has the welcome luxury of deciding which centre-back out of the three now available will be dropped, with the formation of a strong defensive partnership key to United’s survival hopes this season.

Either way, the Toon Army will be surely buzzing to hear that Schär could be good to go this weekend, especially given his recent resurgence under the new manager.

ويأتي هذا القرار من قبل فيفا الذي طالب حكام النخبة بعدم إدارة أي مباراة في البلدان المشاركة في كأس العالم 2022 مما يعني أن أي حكم يريد التواجد في مونديال قطر المقبل لا يمكن أي يدير أي لقاء في السعودية في الفترة المقبلة.

وتابع التقرير أن الإيطالي بيير لويجي كولينا، رئيس لجنة الحكام في “فيفا”، والسويسري ماسيمو بوساكا، مدير دائرة التحكيم في “فيفا” عقدوا اجتماعًا الجمعة الماضي مع الاتحادات الأهلية المعنية بهذا الأمر وأرسلوا تعميم للحكام لتنفيذ القرار ومنعهم من إدارة المباريات الودية أو المسابقات المحلية لاتحاد متأهل إلى كأس العالم 2022.

ويحتل فريق الاتحاد المركز الثالث في ترتيب جدول الدوري السعودي برصيد 10 نقاط، من الفوز في 3 لقاءات والتعادل في مواجهة واحدة.

بينما النصر يأتي في المركز الرابع في ترتيب الدوري، برصيد 9 نقاط، حققها من الانتصار في 3 مواجهات وخسر في مباراة واحدة.

A ausência de Léo Gamalho na partida diante do Corinthians pegou o técnico Eduardo Baptista de surpresa e, sem muitas opções, o técnico optou por recorrer às categorias de base da Ponte Preta, para fechar o time que enfrentará o líder do Brasileirão, às 17h deste domingo.

O jovem John Kleber, de 17 anos e 1,90m, estará no banco de reservas durante a partida no Majestoso, como opção para caso a equipe precise de um auxílio no setor ofensivo. Artilheiro do Campeonato Paulista, com 28 gols, o jogador está sendo relacionado pela primeira vez entre os profissionais.

Para pegar ritmo, John Kleber treinou com o time principal na última sexta-feira e chegou até a ser testado no grupo que será titular neste domingo. Em junho deste ano, o jogador assinou seu primeiro contrato profissional com a Macaca, com validade até o mesmo mês de 2020.

Ele será opção para o técnico Eduardo Baptista caso o treinador queira mudar o estilo do ataque, que vai começar com Lucca atuando pela direita e Sheik mais centralizado. A provável escalação da Ponte para enfrentar o Corinthians conta com Aranha, Nino Paraíba, Yago, Rodrigo e Jeferson; Fernando Bob; Lucca, Elton, Wendel e Danilo Barcelos; Emerson Sheik.

"I don’t want to go deep into it but I think skipper Saurav Gangulyis making too many mistakes, which in turn is affecting the team’sperformance," Dungarpur told PTI in Mumbai

25-Nov-2009Former Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) chief Raj Singh Dungarpur on Fridaysaid the Indian team’s performance in the ongoing Coca-Cola Cuptriangular series in Sri Lanka is very disappointing and "beginningto hurt.""I don’t want to go deep into it but I think skipper Saurav Gangulyis making too many mistakes, which in turn is affecting the team’sperformance," Dungarpur told PTI in Mumbai.Dungarpur, who is the National Cricket Academy chairman, said formerAustralian opening batsman and coach Geoff Marsh will be coachingIndian under-19 cricket team for the coming year."Marsh has been entrusted with the job of coaching the India A side,which has a busy schedule this year. John Wright is in charge of thesenior team while former Test player Roger Binny is the junior teams’coach. We wanted someone to coach the India A team and I think Marshis the right man to do that," he added.Dungarpur said the A team’s programme would start with the New ZealandA side coming here or the Indian team visiting New Zealand, while thePakistan A team is likely to come at the end of this year as the BCCIhas already received a letter from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)."The Zimbabweans are eager to come as well while the PCB is alsointerested in playing host to our under-19 side in October-Novbember,which will help them prepare for the under-19 World Cup in New Zealandnext year," he added. "I can also request the England boardofficials to have us over while Marsh is expected to be here soon tosubmit his report on Indian cricket," he added.

Newcastle United have reportedly now made an approach to sign Brennan Johnson in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Rising talent

Johnson is a player that has caught the eye since his loan spell at Lincoln City last season, in where he scored no fewer than 13 goals and made a further 16 assists in 48 games in total over all competitions (Transfermarkt).

He helped the Imps get through to the Sky Bet League One play-off final with his impressive performances against Sunderland in the semis, so much so that he received praise from the great David Beckham, who is ‘close’ with the Johnson family according to Lincoln manager Michael Appleton (Lincolnshire Live).

Nonetheless, he is now impressing once more back at his parent club Nottingham Forest, and has been the ‘shining light’ in the team so far this term claims journalist Josh Bunting.

The Latest: Approach made

As per The Daily Mail, an approach has now been made by the St. James’ Park faithful, as well as Everton, to sign Johnson, but they will have to meet his £20m valuation.

However, West Ham United and Brentford are also in the race for his signature, while Tottenham Hotspur are currently monitoring his situation.

The Verdict: Sign

Given that Johnson is already playing in the Championship, it would not be too much of a risk for the North East club to sign him in January, should they find themselves relegated down to the division at the end of the campaign.

Nonetheless, he would offer an extra bit of quality in the middle of the park to help them stay up, and his five goals and four assists in the Championship so far this season show that his prowess at Lincoln was certainly no fluke.

Nonetheless, at just 20 years of age, Johnson still has so much potential, and if Eddie Howe can get the best out of him, the Wales international could be a real bargain for the future at £20m.

Jacques Kallis appears to be winning his fitness battle to play some part in the first Test against England although he remains extremely doubtful to bowl at Centurion Park.

Andrew McGlashan in Potchefstroom13-Dec-2009

Jacques Kallis appears to be winning his fitness battle to play some part in the first Test against England although he remains extremely doubtful to bowl at Centurion Park. Kallis had another lengthy net on the final day of South Africa’s camp in Potchefstroom and will now travel with the squad back to Johannesburg.It seems likely that Kallis will take his place as a specialist batsman on Wednesday with South Africa shaping up to have a four-man attack. Dale Steyn bowled at full tilt on Sunday and barring any late reaction to his hamstring problem is ready to be unleashed on England’s batsmen.”The position is that everyone is on track to be fit for the Test,” said a South Africa team spokesman. “Kallis has had two lengthy nets, yesterday and today, and will continue to build up as we get nearer the time. Dale is bowling full out and everyone else is where they should be.”The spokesman confirmed that Kallis hadn’t bowled during the training camp, but couldn’t elaborate on the chances of him playing as a full allrounder next week. However, team sources have indicated to Cricinfo that this remains a distant prospect.Sunday was billed as d-day for Kallis, but given that he is due for another session in an oxygen chamber on Monday it was always unlikely that South Africa would have made a drastic decision three days out from the Test, unless he had broken down again in Potchefstroom. Also, heading into such an important series, there is the possibility of some mind games over what role Kallis will play. South Africa don’t need to give England any extra boost by putting out too many negative ideas.While Steyn’s recovery is also crucial for South Africa, the most eye-catching bowling effort during the two days of skills practice was that of Morne Morkel who extracted considerable bounce from a centre-wicket session. A recall for Morkel, who was dropped for South Africa’s last Test against Australia in March, would keep Wayne Parnell out of the final XI.When Morkel was brought back for the one-day series he made life uncomfortable for a number of England batsmen, notably Andrew Strauss when he came round the wicket at the England captain. There have been questions asked recently about the potency of South Africa’s attack, with Steyn having had a dip in form and Makhaya Ntini’s productivity decreasing, so Morkel will be needed to add another edge. Paul Harris, the left-arm spinner and fourth member of the probable four-man unit, can expect an increased workload if Kallis is unable to bowl.Both teams have lingering injury concerns heading into Centurion with England keeping close tabs on James Anderson’s knee after his workout in East London. It isn’t an ideal way for teams to prepare and the final answer on both fronts probably won’t be 100% clear until Wednesday morning.
