In a match that ebbed and flowed, Sri Lanka Under-19s last-wicket pair edged past England Under-19s in the most thrilling match of the tournament so far

Sri Lanka Under-19 opener Sadeera Samarawickrama made a brisk 82•ICC

In a match that ebbed and flowed, Sri Lanka Under-19s last-wicket pair edged past England Under-19s in the most thrilling match of the tournament so far. With all men in the ring, Anuk Fernando, Sri Lanka’s No.10, dabbed the ball towards point and risked the single even with eight balls remaining. They scampered through and Sri Lanka had all but booked their place in the quarter-finals, with wins from both their games.At 160 for 7 in the 35th over chasing 231, England looked the favourites but they weren’t prepared for Sri Lanka’s lower-order fight. Thilaksha Sumanasiri and AK Tyronne, the eighth-wicket pair, batted positively, exploiting an attacking field to even it up with a 43-run stand. The required rate was never a concern for Sri Lanka, and it was more a matter of keeping wickets in hand. Sumanasiri’s dismissal, caught off a top edge, gave England an opening. Tyronne’s scoop to cover tilted the scales towards England, but Anuk held his nerve, defended the odd delivery and saw his side through.Both teams displayed character in an absorbing contest. Jonathan Tattersall grafted his way to 95 to get England to a total they could defend while the Sri Lanka opener Sadeera Samarawickrama kept his side in the hunt with a more aggressive 82.The batsmen not only had to negotiate a slow surface but also an unusually large outfield. Curiously, the ropes were not brought forward, which meant that it was always going to be difficult scoring boundaries on one side of the wicket. Muscling the ball over the ropes would have been challenging even for more mature batsmen. The junior batsmen today had to work within those limitations and naturally, had to cover a lot of ground between the wickets. The England innings featured just ten fours, three sixes and a massive 178 dot balls.The England top order failed after being asked to bat, losing their first four wickets for 43 within 11 overs. Sri Lanka’s left-arm pace duo of Anuk and Binura Fernando hurried them on for pace and movement when the conditions suited them best. The left-arm spinner Harsha Rajapaksa claimed two wickets in his second over, beating Harry Finch with one that went through with the arm and bowling Ed Barnard off an inside edge.England were in a similar position to India’s yesterday, when a quick burst of wickets put extra pressure on the middle order. While India’s recovery hinged on a century stand for the fifth wicket, England’s was based on three half-century stands, with Tattersall the pivot. Will Rhodes added 71 with him for the fifth wicket, hitting two boundaries in his 38 before he was trapped lbw to Binura’s inswing.Tattersall kept pushing the singles and eventually reached his fifty, off 89 balls. His first boundary came off his 55th ball, when he lofted the offspinner AK Tyronne over long-on. He swept the same bowler down to deep square leg to bring up the fifty stand with Joe Clarke.The last ten overs was the most productive for England as 78 came off it, with 55 of those coming off the last five alone. However, there were only three fours and two sixes in that period, indicative of the amount of running they had to do. Tattersall moved close to the 90s with a six off Binura over long-on in the 49th over, but a deserving century eluded him. He fell five short, caught brilliantly by Kusal Mendis running forward from long-on on the penultimate ball of the innings. He walked back satisfied, having helped England to a competitive 230.The Sri Lanka openers found the boundaries easier to come by. Samarawickrama played some delightful drives through the covers to set his side racing to 46 after seven overs. Spin came to England’s rescue as Rob Sayer trapped both Hashan Dumindu and Kusal Mendis lbw off successive balls. Priyamal Perera then edged to the keeper, leaving Sri Lanka in trouble at 87 for 4.Binura made 19 before he was run out thanks to a sharp underarm throw by Tattersall. England continued to attack but it produced mixed results. It helped Samarawickrama and Sumanasiri clear the infield but also created opportunities for wickets. Samarawickrama was done in by the extra bounce and top-edged to cover. The pressure got to England when Sumanasiri, who looked dangerous after Samarawickrama’s fall, was dropped by Dominic Sibley at deep square leg. He went on to score 43 off 42 balls.Sumanasiri too succumbed to a top edge, off the captain Rhodes. Rhodes gambled by keeping many men in the ring, but the bowling didn’t help his cause. Full tosses were driven and flicked and with every boundary, Sri Lanka ensured that they were never out of it.

A round-up of the Regional Four Day Competition matches that ended on March 10

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Mar-2014Twenty-year-old left-arm spinner Akeal Hosein picked up his maiden ten-wicket haul to help Trinidad & Tobago comfortably beat Windward Islands in the Regional Four Day Competition. Hosein’s 6 for 33 in the first innings was instrumental in earning T&T a 100-run lead and he backed it up with another strong performance, taking 5 for 34 in the second which gave T&T its first win.Put in to bat, T&T were struck early blows before Adrian Barath and Jason Mohammad stabilised the innings with a 68-run stand for the third wicket. Barath was caught behind for 39 off Delorn Johnson, but Mohammed added another critical 55 with Stephen Katwaroo. The innings though slumped once Katwaroo was dismissed by Alston Bobb. T&T lost four wickets for 13, all to Bobb, including that of Mohammed for 79 and only some late order contributions lifted them to 222.Windward Islands had no answers to the spin of Hosein though as after an opening stand of 38, the team collapsed against his left-arm spin. Apart from Dwayne Smith, who was unbeaten on 48, none of the batsmen offered any resistance and the team was bowled out for 122.Darren Bravo then ensured T&T didn’t lose the advantage by scoring a gritty 69 off 188 balls. He was the eighth batsmen to be dismissed, but by that time, the lead had already swelled to 267. T&T were bowled out for 210 eventually, setting up a 311-run target. Windward Islands did marginally better in their second innings, scoring two more runs than the first, as they crumbled to a heavy defeat. As in the first innings, Hosein, who was playing only his third first-class match, did bulk of the damage and no one except Smith stood up to the challenge.Carlos Brathwaite’s four wickets in the second innings led Barbados’ efforts on the final day that saw them bowl Guyana out for 94 and complete a 136-run win. Brathwaite, who didn’t bowl in the first innings, accounted for four of the first five wickets to fell that reduce Guyana to 43 for 5 in chase of 231. The trend continued as Ashley Nurse and Sulieman Benn shared the remaining five wickets to dismiss Guyana in the 43rd over.In a low-scoring match, only two fifties were scored and none of the team could cross the 200-run mark. One of those half-centuries came from Barbados No. 3 Roston Chase, who revived the team from 58 for 4 to 132 for 6 before falling to Raun Johnson for 55. Veerasammy Permaul picked up three wickets in his 15th over to end Barbados’ innings on 184.Guyana made a strong start to their innings with a 92-run stand for the first wicket between Sewnarine Chattergoon and Tagnarine Chanderpaul. But Nurse cut through the top, picking up the wicket of Chattergoon and Assad Fudadin off successive deliveries. That triggered a remarkable collapse as Guyana lost the whole of the side within 48 runs, handing Barbados a 44-run lead. Benn ran through the bottom half to end up with 5 for 26.Barbados’ second innings response was similar to their first as some useful contributions by the top order ensured they crossed 150 before eventually being bowled out for 186. Devendra Bishoo, the legspinner, was the pick of the bowlers with his 5 for 70, the bowler’s first five-for this season. But on a pitch on which the highest total in the three innings was 186, a target of 231 proved to be too strong.

Novo reforço do Santos, Marinho chegou ao CT Rei Pelé nesta segunda-feira para sua apresentação bem humorado. Além de distribuir sorrisos, o atacante brincou com os jornalistas presentes e comentou sobre o meme “sabia não”, criado em 2015.

O jogador ainda pertencia ao Ceará, em 2015, e em uma entrevista de pós-jogo ele foi surpreendido ao saber que havia sido suspenso pelo terceiro cartão amarelo e afirmou: “sabia não, que merd*, ein?”

– Foi bom, deu dinheiro para mim. Muita gente vê e brinca comigo. Me veem sério e não entendem. Brinco no vídeo, mas minha vida não é só brincadeira – explicou.

Questionado sobre atuar como um centroavante de origem, posição mais carente do time do técnico Jorge Sampaoli no momento, Marinho afirmou que entra até de zagueiro para estar entre os titulares. Além disso, brincou ao dizer que jogaria na mega-sena se pudesse garantir que marcaria um gol em todos os jogos que atuasse.

– Jogo até de zagueiro para estar entre os 11, filha. Se eu conseguisse te dar a certeza de gol todo jogo, seria bom. Jogaria na Mega também. Sou um cara que finaliza muito, sempre procuro o gol. Espero fazer muitos gols e outros voltarão a marcar. É um grupo bom, time qualificado. Gols vão sair na hora certa – disse.

Nono reforço, Marinho é opção para substituir Rodrygo, com saída do Santos em junho para o Real Madrid. E o atacante sentiu a responsabilidade e elogiou o bom futebol do Menino da Vila.

– Responsabilidade muito grande, vai para um gigante lá fora. É como eu falei, Sampaoli conversou algumas coisas que não vou te contar. É coisa de trabalho, de boas vindas. Que vai me ajudar muito para eu dar retorno. Quando o Rodrygo for, espero substitui-lo bem, jogando de maneira alegre, gosto de vê-lo jogar. É uma pena termos por pouco tempo, Santos é grande e seguimos tentando fazer o Santos maior ainda – concluiu.

Com o aumento no número de competições internacionais, as viagens longas com rápidas mudanças de fuso horário passaram a fazer parte da rotina de muitos atletas de ponta. Em cada viagem, estes atletas sofrem os efeitos do Jet Leg, uma síndrome decorrente de desequilíbrios no ciclo de sono e vigília. Sintomas como enjoo, irritação, fadiga, dores de cabeça, sonolência, insônia e piora no desempenho mental são os mais frequentes.

O tempo mínimo recomendado pelo Colégio Americano de Medicina Esportiva para a adaptação ao jet leg é de um dia para cada fuso horário avançado, o que infelizmente não é viável para a maior parte dos atletas em função de seus compromissos profissionais. No futebol, por exemplo, a FIFA reserva certos períodos ao longo do ano denominados de “datas FIFA”, nos quais os clubes são obrigados a cederem os atletas para as seleções nacionais. Usualmente os atletas viajam em um domingo após os jogos pelo clube e iniciam os treinamentos tão logo cheguem de viagem, para jogarem depois de 3 ou 4 dias.

Na volta, muitos saem do aeroporto diretamente para o campo. Considerando-se que as seleções contam com jogadores espalhados por clubes ao redor do mundo, em todas as convocações haverão jogadores que atravessaram metade do planeta para se juntarem à equipe nacional, praticamente sem tempo para adaptação.

O impacto do jet-leg sobre o desempenho esportivo é evidentemente uma preocupação. Cada atleta reage de uma forma a estas mudanças, e aqueles que estão acostumados às viagens longas sempre têm uma estratégia individual para esta adaptação.

Atletas amadores que se preparam por exemplo para correrem uma maratona no exterior devem prever um período de adaptação ao fuso horário do local da competição, para evitar a frustração com a piora no rendimento esportivo. Estes atletas não estão habituados às frequentes mudanças de fuso horário, e tendem a sentir mais os efeitos do Jet Leg em comparação com os atletas de ponta. Se você está se preparando para uma competição em terras longínquas, seguem algumas dicas de como minimizar os efeitos do Jet Leg:

1. Viaje descansado: tenha uma boa noite de sono antes da viagem. Para que isso seja possível, separe os documentos e arrume as malas com antecedência, de forma que na noite anterior ao embarque não se perca horas de sono com isso;

2. Programe-se para chegar de dia: De preferência para voos que cheguem ao destino final durante o dia. Assim, você consegue se acostumar e se familiarizar com o novo fuso horário e dormirá melhor durante à noite.

3. Durante o voo: Ajuste seu relógio de acordo com o horário do destino, e procure dormir de acordo com este novo horário. Procure uma alimentação leve, beba bastante água e evite bebidas alcoólicas. Se não quiser ficar acordado, evite a cafeína. Se necessário, pode-se lançar mão de medicamentos para pegar dormir, com preferência para os indutores de sono de curta duração, já que os de ação prolongada podem dar sonolência no dia seguinte. Quando acordado, caminhe regularmente.

4. Chegando ao destino: hidrate-se bem e evite comidas pesadas enquanto ainda não estiver bem adaptado ao novo fuso horário. Realize as refeições de acordo com o novo fuso horário. Se estiver bastante cansado busque pequenos períodos para descanso, mas faça isso por não mais do que 30 minutos, já que após este período o corpo entra em sono profundo e, ao acordar, você se sentirá ainda pior do que antes. Evite cochilos após às 17 horas e procure dormir de acordo com o horário local. Tenha um período mais relaxado próximo do horário de dormir. Use indutores de sono nos primeiros dias, se necessário.

5. Melatonina: Tomar entre 0,5 e 3 mg de melatonina pouco antes de dormir pode ajudar a amenizar os efeitos do Jet Leg. A melatonina é um hormônio produzido naturalmente pelo corpo e que desempenha um papel central na regulação dos ritmos corporais. O hormônio tende a ficar desregulado após grandes mudanças de fuso horário, podendo ser utilizado a suplementação até que se deixe de sentir os efeitos associados ao Jet Leg.

Graeme Smith had one word to describe his international career after his final day as a Test cricketer: privileged

Firdose Moonda in Cape Town05-Mar-2014After 10 years, 11 months and 16 days, 117 Tests, 60 wins, 9265 runs, 27 hundreds and more press conferences, training sessions and autographs than you can count, Graeme Smith had one word to describe his international career: privileged.”When I look at my Test cap, it’s worn down and it’s been through a lot but it’s been a privilege,” Smith said after his last day as a Test cricketer. “Today is a day I would like to celebrate. The challenges of captaining are well documented but I only see it as a highlight. I’ve been extremely proud of captaining South Africa.”Smith is Test cricket’s longest-serving captain and under his leadership, South Africa grew from a team that threatened to achieve into one that achieved. They won series in tough places, members of their squad became world leaders in their disciplines and they became a unified unit.Smith began thinking about retirement in June, when Gary Kirsten’s tenure as coach ended. Smith wasn’t sure if it was just Kirsten going, Mark Boucher gone and Jacques Kallis about to go that sparked the idea, or whether he really wanted to call it quits. “It’s been a period of time of trying to understand that because everyone kept telling me you’re only 33,” he said.If any cricketer has proved that age is really nothing but a number, that person is Smith. He took over the captaincy at 22 and played at the highest level for 11 years. Smith had said he did not want to play until the same age as Jacques Kallis (38) or Sachin Tendulkar (40) and perhaps that is how old he feels already. Once he accepted that, it was just about doing what he considered the right thing.’Even if you don’t have enough talent, there’s still a lot you can achieve’

With a heavy bottom-hand, a tendency to ignore the entire off side and a whole lot of heart, Graeme Smith muscled his way to 17,236 international runs across three formats. He said determination rather than technique had helped him get there.
“When I started my professional career, all I used to hear about was my grip and my stance and that I needed to change my stance,” he said. “To be sitting here 17,000 runs later is hopefully an example to other people that even if you don’t have enough talent, there’s still a lot you can achieve, not only in sport but also in life.
“I have always been a determined player. I have always been able to find a way and leave it all out on the field. From a personal perspective my most meaningful knocks are probably the 154 to win the series in England and the hundred in Perth to set up the chase of 414. Those moments stand out.”
Smith’s only unfinished business is winning a World Cup for South Africa and he is willing to leave that to the next generation.
“To have won a World Cup would have been ticking all the boxes. I’d love to see a South African team win a World Cup and once they do, I think they will go on to win many. I will be on my couch, or somewhere, supporting them for the rest of my life.”

“The hard part is to have the courage to make the decision,” Smith said. “It felt like the time is right. I realised this is the place where I wanted to finish. I didn’t want to hang on too long and finish it in a place where it didn’t feel right. It just took courage to hang on to that last 5% and make the decision.”I haven’t had my best series. I felt really good in the two past series but knowing that the end was near made it difficult for me to find the space to keep performing.”Before the second innings against Australia at Newlands, Smith needed to call time. His first duty was to tell his charges. It was also his most difficult task. No player in that change-room knew a Test captain other than Smith. His concern was that they would feel abandoned. “When I told the team, it was a really tough night. I didn’t get too many words out,” he said. “The hardest part was saying goodbye to the team. For so long the Proteas have been my family. I’ve grown close to players and I will cherish those relationships for the rest of my life.”Knitting close bonds is what Smith’s leadership was really about. As his captaincy matured, his focus shifted away from results and towards team building, which he realised would ultimately bring results. “To create the culture and to see it grow has been really special,” Smith said. “And there’s been so many wonderful victories around the world. Our record away from home is something I am proud of as a leader as well.”Smith also places value on things that cannot be measured. As his captaincy reached its later stages, he spent time emphasising team culture and the importance of representing the country the best way possible. He stressed that political challenges had nothing to do with his decision to step down. “I am hugely proud of the diversity and the quality of players that have come through and stand their ground against anyone in the world. The diversity of this team is our strength,” he said.He thinks it will continue to be that way but South Africa’s most important challenge will be filling the gap left by the retirements of three stalwarts: Mark Boucher, Jacques Kallis and himself. “There’s some important things that need to be tightened and an environment needs to be created that can create success. The leadership group and how they galvanise the players and get them in the right direction will be important,” Smith said. “Yes, the team has lost a lot of experience but there are guys who have played well around the world.”He will be around to offer advice when needed. “There are certain challenges on the exterior that need to be met. I’d love to play a role in helping. I have gained a lot of experience over the years and I’d love to share that.”For now, though, he has something he needs to do: let go. While South Africa’s lower-order batted out the final hours of Smith’s international career and attempted to increase his unbeaten series run to 15, the former national captain found out how difficult it bowing out really was. “We’ve become good at never letting go,” Smith said.Smith’s days as a South African cricketer are over but he left the way he arrived -fighting. “We found a way to take it as deep as possible. It would have been a wonderful fairytale if we hung in there but I saw enough qualities to know South Africa will be strong for a long period of time.”In that knowledge, Smith can walk away a satisfied and proud man. He is choosing to walk away feeling privileged instead.

Paul Collingwood may have to risk an adventurous declaration on the final day to try to fashion a Durham victory and newly-promoted Northants might be the sort of team to persuade him to gamble

Paul Collingwood is faced with picking the right moment to declare 12 months on from a decision that almost had a significant bearing on the title. He may have been unlucky in seeing his side lose to Yorkshire last April but that result with doubtless affect his thinking here.Durham, who have bolstered a thin squad by signing Kumar Sangakkara for a month before he joins Sri Lanka’s tour of England, secured a handy first-innings advantage of 74 and then rolled along at above four-an-over on the third afternoon to give themselves an outside chance of victory.The wicket remains in good shape and the forecast for day four is again excellent but they took seven wickets in a session-and-a-half earlier in the day and some signs of indifferent bounce suggest Northamptonshire could have to work hard to save this game.In their third match of last season, Collingwood set Yorkshire 336 to win on the final day at Chester-le-Street and was left to curse the decision as Joe Root made 182 to steer his side to a record chase on the ground. But Root might have been out twice well before his match-winning total and to make over 300 in the final innings at Durham was a statistical anomaly.Collingwood’s decision here will factor in far better conditions for batting than could be envisaged in April, as well as the fact that Northants are not likely to be title rivals later in the season, and that the teams with Championship ambitions will see victory over the regelation favourites as a necessity. Quick runs on the fourth morning should put Durham in a safe position but last April they were seemingly well in the clear too.”It could be difficult to judge the declaration,” Durham’s head coach Jon Lewis said. “We’ll learn a little about how Northants went about their first innings so we’ve got a bit more of an idea about their batters and the way they go about scoring. It is quite short in the one corner as well so that’s makes it more difficult to judge what runs per over is gettable. We’ll need a few more because they scored quite quickly in the first innings.”Collingwood showed a positive intent by helping Durham to press on late in the day. His innings featured consecutive pulls for four off Steven Crook and a six over long-on off James Middlebrook, who had initially stemmed Durham’s progress with three wickets and a catch at slip. He added Collingwood’s wicket shortly before the close.Middlebrook’s catch gave Northants an early strike and a wicket for Maurice Chambers, who bounded up the hill in a quick opening five over spell where he went for only 13 and removed Mark Stoneman for 1; a rare double failure for Stoneman, Durham’s second-leading run scorer in 2013.Their leading run scorer last year was Scott Borthwick. If he has an international future, his batting is most likely to earn him selection. His provided some further evidence why that is likely on the third day at Wantage Road with an indifferent spell with the ball and an effective innings with the bat.Borthwick’s Test debut came almost by default in Sydney after Graeme Swann had abdicated and all confidence in Monty Panesar was lost but he was given a role he could be asked to fulfil against Sri Lanka in June as a slow option alongside four seamers. Moeen Ali is his greatest rival.In such a position, Borthwick’s batting would need to justify selection. He made over 1000 runs in the Championship last season at No. 3 with two of his three centuries coming at Chester-le-Street. He also topped the Durham averages. For England Lions in Sri Lanka, he was back down the order and had some success with the bat and a handful of wickets.Here he played a punchy innings of 47 in 68 balls as Durham achieved a healthy scoring rate. He struck four boundaries in seven balls shortly after tea but to the second ball he faced of Middlebrook’s new spell, rocked back to cut and edged behind.His earlier spell with the ball featured, like the first innings, a full toss outside off to start, and two other long hops which were cut for four by Steven Crook. But in-between he flighted the ball nicely, lured Rob Newton to drive off an edge to slip and had Matt Spriegel dropped at short leg. He can certainly take wickets and could yet help Durham to victory on day four.Had Spriegel been taken on 33, Northants could have been following on before the close but instead he took advantage of the miss to make only his second first-class fifty for Northants, the county he joined from Surrey at the end of the 2012 season.He has mainly been used in one-day cricket and would not have played in this match but for injuries to David Sales and Rob Keogh but he proved his ability against the red ball and steered his side to a fourth batting point, reduced the deficit below a hundred and took some more overs out of the game.But Spriegel too suffered from centuryphobia – being the eighth player to pass fifty in the match and the eighth player not to make three figures. Michael Richardson could have another go on day four after going to an 85-ball half-century in the last hour of play.
