There remains intense frustration in Ireland at the pace that they are able to further their ambitions due to the limited exposure they receive against Full Member nations

Andrew McGlashan04-Jul-2013

Stuck between a rock and a hard place could be an apt way to describe Ireland cricket at the moment. They are desperate to move up the ICC ladder, but joining the elite of world cricket can often feel a harder job that breaking into Fort Knox.There remains intense frustration within Ireland at the pace that they are able to further their ambitions due to the limited exposure they receive against Full Member nations, who are content to play among themselves in some largely context-less ODI series that fill up the global calendar.Some players, such as the vocal Trent Johnston, are not afraid to suggest it is because teams are “scared” of losing to Ireland, while others take a more measured approach, remaining grateful for what Ireland have and being cautious not to alienate those who do provide the valuable experiences that the team requires.Along with Johnston, Ed Joyce is an elder statesman of Irish cricket – so much so that he left once before returning after dropping off the England radar – and he admitted that living off “crumbs” from other international tours left Ireland “begging” for more opportunities. Joyce believes they have more than proved their worth at the top level.”We are still in the situation where we are almost begging for fixtures, which is obviously not ideal because we feel as a competitive side we have gone past that,” Joyce told ESPNcricinfo at the launch of the RSA Challenge match against England, which will be held on September 3 at Malahide.”It is frustrating that we aren’t getting more fixtures but I wouldn’t want to point fingers. We are simultaneously grateful for teams coming to play against us, but slightly frustrated that more teams don’t. We still live off the crumbs of the teams touring England and that’s the way it always has been.”I realise why the big teams play each other a lot, there are huge financial incentives which they perhaps don’t see with us, so it’s about us getting in a position where we can be involved in the ‘club’, so to speak, and then hopefully other teams like Scotland, Netherlands, Afghanistan can do the same thing because there are a lot of good cricketer outside of the Test playing nations.”What adds to the angst and annoyance is that Ireland are in fine fettle. They could have beaten Pakistan in the two-ODI series that preceded the Champions Trophy, competed strongly against Australia A in Belfast, are well clear at the top of the Intercontinental Cup and also lead the World Cricket League one-day table.The ODIs against Pakistan were particularly noteworthy, concluding in a tie and a last-ditch win for Pakistan after Ireland controlled both matches for significant periods. It is the type of form they will need to carry into the England game later in the summer to ensure that Ireland’s on-field performances continue to make strong statements.Ireland had hoped to arrange a series against Bangladesh but that has fallen through, meaning the England game is now their one remaining match against a Full Member in their season.Ed Joyce hit a hundred during Ireland’s impressive performances against Pakistan in May•AFP

“The two games against Pakistan showed that we have made great strides. Who would have said four or five years ago that we’d be disappointed not to have beaten Pakistan?” Joyce said. “We were hopeful of getting Bangladesh over for some matches but they have pulled out of that for various reasons. It is frustrating but we realise where we are.”We need to be playing as many of the big sides as we can, but we understand that it is very difficult for them to fit us into an already packed schedule, which we are trying to get around by getting into the FTP in years to come.”The game against England has a dual purpose – to keep showing how we have improved and also if we play well it will create interest in the game. When Ireland beat England at the last World Cup and Pakistan the one before, there was a huge uptake in membership at clubs. I think there is now a club in every county in Ireland – all 32 – which certainl hasn’t been the case for many years.”Evolving domestic cricket in Ireland is crucial to the country’s ambitions. An inter-provincial tournament has been re-launched to try and improve the standards for those who do not play county cricket and ultimately there is a plan to launch a first-class competition so that players can remain in Ireland with a view of building a Test side.The recent debut of Boyd Rankin in England’s Twenty20 against New Zealand has rubber-stamped another player slipping from Ireland’s grasp – even if Rankin had long-since made his intentions clear – although a recent tweak to the ICC regulations means that he would now need only two years to re-qualify for Ireland rather than the four that Joyce had to go through.”I think it’s a fairer rule, because there’s no real option for the likes of Boyd,” Joyce said. “I would like to think Boyd and Eoin Morgan’s generation will be the last who feel they have to make that decision so they can play at the highest level. Boyd is desperate to play Test cricket, and fair play to him, we wish him well.”Now the likes of George Dockrell, Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson and James Shannon, they have more of a chance to play at a higher level with Ireland. But until we get to a stage where we are regularly playing against top nations – and that will only happen when we attain some higher membership status, either Test status or increased ODI status – I think you might have the odd player who feels they have to make that move to further their own ambitions.”Hopefully the ICC will see that Ireland are improving and are fulfilling all the criteria they want of us to play more teams. The only thing we can do is put in performances against top sides to show what we can do and hope the powers that be listen to our raving and ranting.”

The BCB has vowed to pay local players their dues from the 2013 Bangladesh Premier League before the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays

Mohammad Isam29-Jul-2013Other decisions at the BCB ad-hoc committee’s meeting

Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League will now begin on September 3, and the players’ recruitment will take place on August 25. It is the fifth such date given by the BCB.

Umpire Nadir Shah’s mercy plea will only be considered after a year of his 10-year suspension is completed.

BCB will seek councillors’ names from all districts and clubs on August 12, and give them 10 days to select the councillors (who will vote to elect BCB directors). In the meantime, they will ask the National Sports Council to set up an election commission and begin the process to elect a BCB president.

Quick bowler Abul Hasan will be sent abroad to seek treatment for his back injury, pending a medical committee’s recommendation.

The BCB has vowed to pay local players their dues from the 2013 Bangladesh Premier League before the Eid-ul-Fitr holidays. The decision was taken at a BCB ad-hoc committee meeting as several franchises have not yet completed payments to the players or the board, after the board conditionally terminated the contracts of some franchises.The BPL’s schedule for the next season is still unclear, and it may even be held before the end of the year if a slot is available in the domestic calendar.”Many of the domestic and foreign players are still unpaid, because the franchises didn’t make payments after the first 25% was cleared,” BCB media committee chairman Jalal Yunus said. “The board has decided to pay 45-50% to the domestic players before Eid-ul-Fitr. According to the tripartite agreement, the board has to pay the players if the franchises fail to make payments.”Before BPL’s second season began, it was announced that player payments would be completed in three instalments. It has now changed to four instalments: the first being before the tournament started, the second during the tournament, the third within three months after the tournament and the last of which is on August 19, six months after the 2013 edition ended.The BCB’s role as guarantor has meant that it has to make payments when the franchises default, according to the three-way agreement between the BCB, players and the franchises. The players who have been paid 25% will receive a further 25%, while those who have already been paid 50%, will have to wait for the rest of the money.Those present in the press conference however could not clarify when the next stage of payment after the Eid one will be. “We will settle what we owe, and look into the future when the time comes,” Mahbubul Anam, another member of the BCB ad-hoc committee said. “We have to clear the due first, and the last payment is at the end of August.”The board is also hopeful that it can have a window for BPL-3 as early as December if the 2012-13 Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League is completed by October. Their hope lies in the promise made by the Dhaka Premier League clubs who have apparently assured BCB chief Nazmul Hassan that they will play the league from September and continue to do so in October without the national players.”Since the Dhaka Premier League clubs have said they are willing to play without the national players, we can hold the league in October too,” Yunus said. “In that case we can hold the BPL after the two first-class tournaments – the National Cricket League and Bangladesh Cricket League.”

No primeiro semestre do futebol brasileiro, as conversas ficam mais nos assuntos voltados aos jogos da Copa Libertadores e dos principais clubes do país, como Grêmio, Corinthians, Flamengo, Atlético-MG e tantos outros espalhados. E é assim, longe dos holofotes, que um clube do Rio Grande do Norte vai mostrando sua cara e conseguindo boas campanhas em três competições.

O ABC, de Natal, já está garantido na final do Campeonato Potiguar, uma vez que conquistou o primeiro turno do torneio, continua vivo na terceira fase da Copa do Brasil, em que enfrentará o Santa Cruz, e na Copa do Nordeste, torneio no qual assumiu a vice-liderança do Grupo B.

No clube desde dezembro de 2017, o Diretor Executivo de Futebol, Giscard Salton, falou do trabalho feito pelo clube nos bastidores para que a equipe conseguisse os resultados dentro de campo.

– O nosso planejamento está todo pautado em pequenas metas que, claro, se conquistadas nos levarão aos principais objetivos. O que chamamos de “Projeto de 100 dias” foi a montagem de um elenco enxuto, porém de qualidade, para entrarmos forte nas três competições que estamos disputando. O trabalho da comissão-técnica está sendo muito bem feito e os resultados estão aparecendo de forma natural. Se conseguirmos passar de fase na Copa do Brasil nós estaremos entre os principais clubes do país com um orçamento de série C – explicou o dirigente.

Claro que a premiação da Copa do Brasil tem pesado favoravelmente na balança do ABC.

– A classificação à próxima fase pode acrescentar mais 1,9 milhões de reais ao nosso orçamento só de prêmio, além do que já conquistamos por chegar até aqui. Bilheteria e acordos pontuais aumentam essa arrecadação e podemos organizar melhor as contas e subir o nível da nossa procura no mercado.

As boas campanhas no estadual, no regional e no nacional têm rendido frutos que estão sendo essenciais para a administração do futebol.

– Temos uma gestão do futebol para o futebol. Com essas metas sendo atingidas o ABC mantém um orçamento todo direcionado para a modalidade sem depender do quadro social ou de um grande patrocinador. O futebol está se pagando e isso é importante porque assim conseguimos ter maior poder de negociação para manutenção de atletas e novos reforços.

E mesmo em bom momento, o torcedor quer sempre saber de novos atletas chegando para ver seu clube ainda mais forte. E é nessa frente que o diretor está atuando.

– Estamos conversando para trazer peças pontuais para acrescentar qualidade ao elenco que já é bom. Concorrência sempre faz qualquer time evoluir. A presidência dá bastante liberdade para eu e o treinador Ranielle Ribeiro contratar reforços. Nós conversamos sobre carências no elenco e opções e trazemos jogadores que realmente se encaixam dentro do perfil do nosso técnico. Precisamos ser cirúrgicos porque do mesmo modo que temos liberdade, nós também temos muita cobrança, contou a Salton.

Em qualquer clube que esteja demonstrando bons resultados o ambiente é ressaltado. O convívio diário de pessoas com perfis e funções diferentes é base para muitas equipes vencedoras. E o bom relacionamento de todos dentro do ABC também é destacado pelo dirigente.

– Os funcionários do ABC são um diferencial para o nosso ano ter começado neste nível. Vemos pessoas realmente empenhadas em fazer coisas além de suas atribuições e os atletas entram em campo querendo retribuir isso. O ambiente no clube é o melhor possível e tem refletido bastante em tudo, no campo e nos bastidores.

Após vencer o Sampaio Corrêa na última quinta-feira pela Copa do Nordeste, o ABC volta a campo no próximo domingo, pelo Campeonato Potiguar, para enfrentar o Santa Cruz local.

England will keep the Ashes for the next five months at least after Manchester’s weather proved a far more impassable barrier to Australia’s bowlers than the hosts’ top order batting on a grey final day at Old Trafford

The Report by Daniel Brettig05-Aug-2013

England will keep the Ashes for the next five months at least after Manchester’s weather proved a far more impassable barrier to Australia’s bowlers than the hosts’ top order batting on a grey final day at Old Trafford. The retention of the urn arrived formally via the underwhelming circumstances of an announcement that play had been abandoned at 4.39pm local time, due to a solid belt of rain that could delay its arrival no further than three balls into the afternoon session.By that time England had lurched to 37 for 3, Ian Bell stung on the thumb by a prancing delivery from Peter Siddle that rather summed up the danger posed by a committed and skilful Australian attack, who have grown increasingly confident in their ability to snip the top off their opponents’ batting. Confounded by the rain in Manchester, they will look back ruefully on the failure of Australia’s batsmen to provide them with anything to bowl to at Trent Bridge and Lord’s, where England established their decisive advantage.This is not to say that Old Trafford will be a source of entirely happy memories for Alastair Cook’s men nor completely forlorn ones for Michael Clarke’s. Australia have broken a streak of six consecutive Test match defeats, and in the final two Investec Tests have the chance to press for parity in this series and a platform from which to regain superiority at home in the southern summer. England by comparison have appeared to lose steam, their bowlers decreasing in threat while the batsmen grow increasingly dependent on the middle and lower orders to bail them out.A Test match at Durham in four days’ time will provide plenty of questions for both sides, not least whether the admirable Ryan Harris will be able to back up without the benefit of the break he had between Lord’s and Old Trafford. Harris and Siddle were the outstanding performers in the 20.3 overs of play that were possible, finding life in the air and off the pitch to dispose of Cook, Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen before the showers set in.It might have been even worse for England, had Clarke held onto the sort of slips chance he would usually claim when Joe Root snicked Siddle. Pietersen looked distraught to be given out, though a noise at precisely the moment the ball passed the bat backed up Tony Hill’s call and that of the third umpire Kumar Dharmasena.Rain overnight and this morning left many pessimistic about the chances of any resumption at all, with England needing only a draw. However the skies cleared enough for a concerted cleaning and drying effort from the ground staff, starting at around 10am, and following an inspection at 10.45 Hill and Marais Erasmus informed the captains Clarke and Cook of their plans to resume.Clarke immediately declared, and threw the ball to Harris when play began at 11.30. As he has done repeatedly when called on, Harris responded with a spell of heart and skill, picking up the two early wickets that his captain required. Cook was drawn across his crease by balls angled towards the slips and then pinned lbw by an inswinger. He referred even though the ball was curling in to hit middle stump, the loss of a review adding to the gravity of the blow.Trott has looked out of sorts in this match, and Harris worked him over in similar fashion, moving outswingers away then arrowing the odd ball back in. Harris’ first attempt at the plan resulted in an awfully close lbw shout declined by Hill. Australia’s referral was lost as the ball was hitting less than half of leg stump, but in Harris’ next over Trott again fell across his crease, this time glancing straight into Brad Haddin’s gloves.Pietersen announced his arrival with a pull shot that signalled Harris’ withdrawal. In Siddle’s first over replacing him, Root was squared up by a ball angled in and seaming away, but Clarke surprised everyone in attendance by dropping the chance. Australian heads were not to be bowed for long however, as Siddle appeared to extract a fine edge from Pietersen as he prodded forward.Hill’s finger was raised, an upset Pietersen referred, and Dharmasena upheld the on-field call after a sound could be heard at the moment ball passed bat. Pietersen walked off muttering, and minutes later Australia followed him with a spring in their step. They returned with hope as the afternoon began, but within three balls were shuffling back to the pavilion, where a few hours later England had cause for celebration, acknowledging the commitment of a small, soggy crowd from the Old Trafford balcony.

An emphatic a win as Yorkshire could have imagined over a Nottinghamshire side that ought to be higher in the table took them 33 points clear in Division One

This was as emphatic a win as Yorkshire could have imagined over a Nottinghamshire side that ought to be higher in the table but the notion that the race for the title is as good as over can be dismissed as premature.Yorkshire have a 33-point lead as things stand, at least over Sussex and Middlesex, but the margin may well be cut by Durham before the weekend is complete, unless the weather has a major say at Chester-le-Street. Durham, with a match in hand, are next up for Yorkshire at Scarborough, followed by Sussex at Hove and Middlesex at Headingley. The title may be Yorkshire’s to lose – but one sub-standard performance might give the table a different look quite quickly.This is the thought in Martyn Moxon’s mind at least. “I think we’ve shown we’re capable of winning [the title],” Yorkshire’s director of cricket said. “If you take the first game of the season against Sussex out of it, we’ve played some fantastic cricket for the last 11 games.”But we have to close it out. We’re trying not to get too far ahead of ourselves. We know we have some tough games and we have Durham, Sussex and Middlesex – the top teams – all to play yet, and Surrey in the last game are going to be scrapping as well.”We’ve won nothing yet and over four games a lot can happen, with a lot of points available. We’re enjoying the wins as everyone does but the first words the captain said in the dressing room after the game were ‘let’s just keep doing what we’re doing and not get carried away’.”It might be an idea to summon Mick Newell to deliver a few words ahead of the Durham match if they want to give some context to this performance, impressive though it was at times, especially when Ryan Sidebottom and Steve Patterson were taking it in turns to make batsmen of international pedigree seem relatively ordinary.The two seamers shared 12 wickets in the match, with Sidebottom’s seven a painful reminder to the Notts director of cricket that his bowling resources need a fair amount of rebuilding yet to restore the standards that prevailed before Sidebottom left two years ago, in search of a longer contract than Notts were prepared to offer.”Over the first two days we were really outplayed by Yorkshire but our bowling in the first innings allowed Yorkshire to dominate the match,” he said. “We have not taken 20 wickets in a match since May and if you don’t take 20 wickets you don’t win. It is an area we need to strengthen.”We have been criticised in the past for not having a strong enough spin-bowling attack but when our seam bowling has been as disappointing as it has been in this match we have an issue there too, certainly since this is a wicket we would have wanted to bowl on.”Over the last few years we have lost Ryan, Darren Pattinson, Charlie Shreck and Mark Ealham and we have been trying to be competitive in Division One while having a big turnover, particularly of fast bowlers. In Luke Fletcher and Harry Gurney we have two lads who have potential but are inexperienced, while Andre Adams is not quite on his game. So we looked a bit lightweight there compared to an attack like Yorkshire’s, full of experience, who have come down here and bowled very well.”There was never much doubt that Yorkshire would win from the moment Nottinghamshire slumped to 65 for 8 on day two, in reply to a Yorkshire total of 407 that can rarely have been bettered here by a side invited to bat first.They followed on 257 behind and while there was some improvement on the third morning, when Nottinghamshire progressed from 118 for 4 overnight to 217 for 7 at lunch, it was merely delaying the inevitable. Chris Read, whose lack of form with the bat this year has been another factor in his side’s modest season, completed his first half-century this year. Not since 2003 has the captain and wicketkeeper completed a first-class season without a century, or contributed between 700 and 1200 runs.In the event, they obliged Yorkshire to bat again, thanks to Read and another lively thrash by Adams, his second in the match, but three boundaries in five deliveries by Adam Lyth, whose 95 was the highest score in the game, completed the job without fuss.Sidebottom’s seven wickets neatly took him to 597 in his first-class career, one more than his father, Arnie, achieved and from 43 fewer matches.”I suppose it’s an honour and a privilege really to go past dad,” he said. “He had a fantastic career himself and to follow in his footsteps was something I’ve always wanted to do.”I’ll give him a buzz in a bit with a beer in my hand and I might buy him a bottle of whisky to say I’ve gone past him. But I’ve still got a few years left in me yet and I’d like to go way past him if I can. I think 700 would be nice before I finish. I don’t know if that will be achievable, but it would be a nice little swansong.”
