Jack Clarke, the departing Cricket Australia chairman, has marked his final days in the post by defending the performances of the outgoing chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch and the former national coach Tim Nielsen.Wally Edwards, the former Australia batsman, will take over at the conclusion of CA’s board meeting on Friday, as Clarke ends a tenure that started in 2008.Speaking at CA’s annual general meeting in Melbourne, Clarke said Hilditch in particular had been the victim of “unfair media and public criticism” during his time as head of the selection panel, which began in 2006.”Andrew Hilditch, a fine servant of Australian cricket who has responded graciously to unfair media and public criticism, leaves centre stage following a long period as a selector since 1996-97 and as chairman of the National Selection Panel since 2006,” Clarke said. “Having recommended that the role become full-time, he has stood aside to concentrate on his private legal practice.”During Andrew’s time as a selector, Australian cricket achieved unparalleled success including three ICC World Cups, two ICC Champions Trophies and numerous Test series victories.”Clarke also argued that many of Nielsen’s achievements, since becoming the head coach in 2007, had been “overlooked”.”Tim’s achievements as coach in a difficult period of transition following the retirement of so many champions of the game have largely been overlooked,” Clarke said. “He ensured we remained the No.1-ranked ODI team, guided the T20 outfit to the final of the 2010 ICC World T20 in the West Indies and won nine out of 15 Test series, and drew two other series.”Clarke was the first CA chairman to hold the position full-time and so spend a far greater share of time as a figurehead for cricket in Australia but also CA’s representative on the ICC executive board.In 2010 Clarke was behind a bid to have John Howard installed as the ICC’s vice-president and ultimately president, and was bitterly disappointed when the move was blocked by other nations, in apparent defiance of the ICC’s previously adopted policy of accepting the nomination of member countries on a rotational basis.Looking over the ICC’s future, Clarke said the issues of corruption and governance had to be tackled firmly.”Stepping down as CA chairman also means standing down as CA’s representative on the ICC board,” Clarke said. “The ICC has had a challenging year tackling corruption as a major issue and is also undertaking a governance review. Cricket’s ambition to be a major world sport will be significantly influenced by the ICC succeeding with both these issues.”Describing the final 12 months of his chairmanship as a “year in review”, Clarke expressed satisfaction that numerous changes had been wrought in the quest for sustainable success for both the national team and the game in Australia.He also said the review of Australian cricket’s governance, being conducted by David Crawford and Colin Carter, would be in a position to submit its findings by the end of the year.”While Australian cricket is often judged by its Ashes performances and Test cricket more generally, the reality is that CA has numerous other strategic aims that we use to measure success,” Clarke said. “Winning the Ashes is naturally a priority but it is not the sole focus.”Growing participation levels to ensure cricket’s future and ensuring cricket remains accessible and attractive to all Australians is equally as important as our Test results. It is also critical that cricket generates sufficient revenue to appropriately fund the game at all levels.”

تقارير: ليفربول ينافس آرسنال وتشيلسي على صفقة مميزة من الدوري الإنجليزي

ذكرت تقارير صحفية، أن نادي ليفربول مستعد لمواجهة آرسنال وتشيلسي للتعاقد مع نجم برايتون، مويسيس كايسيدو.

نجح الإكوادوري البالغ من العمر 21 عامًا في اجتياح الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز بأدائه المميز في البداية تحت قيادة جراهام بوتر، المدرب الحالي لتشيلسي.

تحت قيادة المدير الحالي روبرتو دي زيربي، الذي يرغب في الاحتفاظ بلاعبه، استمر تطوير كايسيدو بوتيرة سريعة.

آرسنال يرغب في ضم كايسيدو، كما قام لاعب خط الوسط بتعيين وكيل جديد مع تزايد التكهنات حول مستقبله.

وتفيد صحيفة “ذا صن” البريطانية وفقًا للصحفي فابريزو رومانو، أن ثلاثة أندية تستكشف صفقة كايسيدو بعد تغيير وكيل أعماله، وهم تشيلسي وآرسنال وليفربول.

وبرايتون لا يعتزم بيع كايسيدو ما لم يتلقِ عرضًا ماليًا ضخمًا، بحسب ما أفاد التقرير.

وانضم الجناح لياندرو تروسارد إلى آرسنال في صفقة بقيمة 27 مليون جنيه إسترليني من برايتون وظهر لأول مرة خلال الفوز 3-2 على مانشستر يونايتد يوم الأحد.

كايسيدو هو الاسم التالي الذي يريد آرسنال ضمه من صفوف برايتون، لكن ليفربول وتشيلسي ينافسان على تلك الصفقة، مما قد يساهم في ارتفاع سعره.

The debutant batsman Peter Handscomb showed impressive composure to keep Victoria steady on the second day at the Gabba, where they chipped away at Queensland’s first innings of 355. But despite Handscomb’s half-century, the Bushrangers faced a tough challenge to take first-innings points, still trailing by 143 runs at the close of play, with only the bowlers still to bat.The last two recognised batsmen were at the crease, Alex Keath on 16 and Ryan Carters on 4, as Victoria reached 5 for 212 at stumps. They had lost Handscomb for 71 late in the day when he edged Ben Cutting to slip, to give Cutting a well-deserved second wicket, as he finished the day with figures of 2 for 37 from 20 overs.Batting at No.3, Handscomb had stayed at the crease for four and a half hours and put on a valuable 90-run stand for the second wicket with Chris Rogers, who eventually lobbed a return catch to the legspinner Cameron Boyce for 72. Scott Walter picked up two wickets, including Victoria’s captain Andrew McDonald for 33, after he finished unbeaten on 14 in Queensland’s innings earlier in the day.The Bulls resumed at 6 for 306 and added 49 to their overnight total, with Peter Siddle collecting two wickets on the second morning. Darren Pattinson finished with 3 for 75.

Loss vê 'reação natural' da torcida do Timão e explica saída de Pedrinho

MatériaMais Notícias

Em seu quinto jogo no comando do Corinthians, Osmar Loss já teve de ouvir algumas críticas da torcida no empate por 1 a 1 com o Santos, na noite desta quarta-feira, na Arena em Itaquera, pela décima rodada do Brasileirão. O treinador viu a reação como “natural” por conta do retrospecto de só uma vitória, três derrotas e agora um empate.

– Em relação à torcida, é natural. É uma torcida que gosta de vencer, assim como eu e os jogadores. Mas não conseguimos nos últimos jogos. É natural esse tipo de reação – afirmou Loss, em entrevista coletiva após o jogo.

– A questão do ambiente é natural, eu sei da pressão que é comandar o Corinthians. Foi uma coisa que me preparei na minha carreira. Mesmo trabalhando na base, também tinha pressão. Trabalhei em times grandes e tinha pressão para revelar e por títulos. A pressão não me incomoda. Jogar bem e ter a torcida do nosso lado é muito importante. Se a reação for como hoje, no fim do jogo, ótimo, porque apoiaram durante o jogo – acrescentou o treinador.

Loss ainda ouviu alguns gritos de “burro” quando tirou Pedrinho aos 38 minutos do segundo tempo. Ele explicou a substituição.

– Ele vai ter o tempo de jogar os 90 minutos. Ele saiu com 38 do segundo tempo, foi uma opção técnica. Até porque o Santos também vinha fazendo substituições, e precisávamos manter o nível de competitividade – analisou Loss, antes de dar mais explicações.

– Não é que sobra para o Pedrinho. São vários fatores na hora da substituição. Não posso tirar um jogador de bola aérea e colocar outro que não tem essa capacidade. Imagina se o Santos faz um gol dessa forma, e tinha o Jean (Mota), que bate muito bem na bola. São cuidados que às vezes passam desapercebidos pelos torcedores, mas é minha função não deixar passar – emendou o treinador.

O Corinthians volta a campo no sábado, às 21h, contra o Vitória, novamente na Arena em Itaquera, pela 11ª rodada do Brasileirão.

موندو توضح موقف رافينها وثلاثي برشلونة من الرحيل في يناير

أوضحت صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الكتالونية، موقف أربعة لاعبين في الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، من الرحيل خلال شهر يناير الجاري، قبل نهاية الميركاتو الشتوي.

وارتبط كل من رافينها، فرانك كيسيه، هيكتور بيليرين وإريك جارسيا بالرحيل عن قلعة “كامب نو” بسبب عدم مشاركتهم المستمرة في المباريات مع برشلونة تحت قيادة المدرب، تشافي هيرنانديز.

وبحسب التقرير أن الثلاثي إريك جارسيا، هيكتور بيليرين ورافينها مستمرون في برشلونة ولكن كيسيه مستقبله ما زال غامضًا مع تشافي بجانب ممفيس ديباي.

يفكر برشلونة في صفقة تبادلية مع إنتر ميلان ينتقل من خلالها كيسيه إلى “جوسيبي مياتزا” وينضم مارسيلو بروزوفيتش، إلى قلعة “كامب نو” رغم سعادتهم بوجود الإيفواري الدولي.

يأتي ذلك رغم إصابة هيكتور بيليرين بخيبة أمل من استبعاده من مباريات كأس السوبر الإسباني، لكنه لا يقترب من الرحيل رغم وجود عروض من إيطاليا ودول أخرى ولكنه يريد الاستمرار في الدوري الإسباني.

كذلك كيسيه لا يريد الانتقال عن برشلونة، لأنه موسمه الأول ويأمل في النجاح كلاعب في العملاق الكتالوني، مع وجود إصرار من الجهاز الفني بقيادة تشافي على بقاء إريك جارسيا وكذلك رافينها رغم اهتمام آرسنال وهذا رأي وكيله وعائلته أيضًا.

Clarke lifts Warwickshire to winning total

Warwickshire Bears preserved their slim chance of qualifying for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals with a 51-run victory over Hampshire under the Edgbaston lights.

26-Jul-2011
ScorecardWarwickshire Bears preserved their slim chance of qualifying for the Clydesdale Bank 40 semi-finals with a 51-run victory over Hampshire under the Edgbaston lights.Boosted by half-centuries from Neil Carter, Jim Troughton and Rikki Clarke, the Bears totalled a meaty 273 for 8 against a Royals side already out of contention after five defeats in eight games. James Vince underpinned the reply with a defiant 82 off 95 balls, but after he fell the Royals’ chase fizzled out quickly as they tumbled from 147 for 2 to 222 all out.Warwickshire chose to bat against a Hampshire attack which lost David Griffiths in the warm-up when he suffered an ankle injury. Second-wicket pair Carter and Will Porterfield added 67 in 53 balls. Carter has endured a tough time since returning from a pelvic injury but showed his old verve in making 53 off only 36 balls, with nine fours, and one six, before falling lbw to Danny Briggs.Porterfield opened his account with two thumping boundaries but lost momentum before lifting former Bears spinner Imran Tahir to Vince at long-off to fall for 41. Vince then pulled off a brilliant one-handed catch at extra-cover to oust Tim Ambrose but Troughton and Clarke kept the ball rolling with a stand of 60 in 53 balls.Troughton posted a polished half-century before lifting Tahir to Ben Howell at deep mid-wicket to perish for 61 while Clarke passed 50 for the second time in successive CB40 games in three days, holing out in the final over for 63.When Hampshire replied, Jimmy Adams soon lifted Chris Woakes to Varun Chopra at cover before the visitors were assisted by a recurrence of Carter’s injury problems. After delivering two no-ball full tosses in his fourth over, the left-armer limped out of the attack.Vince and Sean Ervine put on 116 in 19 overs but Ervine, having struck 47 off 52 balls, fell lbw to Kiwi spinner Jeetan Patel. Left-armer Ant Botha put the main brake on the scoring and he collected a deserved wicket when Michael Carberry slogged to deep mid-wicket.After Patel removed Vince and Liam Dawson in the space of four balls, Hampshire’s pursuit went into freefall in front of a near-6,000 crowd who had taken advantage of free admission.

Wells makes most of final day with ton

Sussex youngster Luke Wells took the opportunity of an County Championship match heading nowhere to score his second century of the season

07-May-2011Sussex 438 and 254 for 6 dec drew with Hampshire 480
ScorecardSussex youngster Luke Wells took the opportunity of an County Championshipmatch heading nowhere to score his second century of the season at the Rose Bowlwhere another easy-paced pitch led to a dramaless last day against Hampshire.Sussex predictably batted through before declaring their second innings 212ahead at 254 for 6, leaving Hampshire no time to respond. The visitors began the day 42 behind after each side had completed their first innings over the first three days and a draw seemed inevitable.Ed Joyce and Chris Nash put on 32 for the first wicket before slow left-armerDanny Briggs took the first of his four wickets. Joyce mistimed a sweep and top edged Briggs to square leg where Friedel de Wet clutched the opportunity.Wells signalled his intentions on arrival with a straight six off Briggs and itbecame clear the match was petering out when Sussex went in at lunch with a leadof 66 at 108 for 1. Briggs, who got through another marathon spell of 30 overs spread across the innings, struck again at 124 when Nash, who had hit six fours in his 56, choppedthe ball onto his stumps.Nash and Wells had put on 92 for the second wicket to make sure there were noalarms and the afternoon session brought little respite for the Hampshirebowlers. Murray Goodwin, the Sussex captain, was the third to go at 157, curiouslyoffering no shot to a delivery from Briggs and being bowled via the top of his pad.Five balls later De Wet struck for the first time when he had Ben Brown caughtat the wicket with the score 158 but there was still no real hope forHampshire. Wells, who made 103 earlier in the season, reached his century off 169 balls,hitting 11 fours in addition to his six.But Wells failed to go on and beat his previous best score because at 248 andhaving faced only another seven balls, Wells drove Sean Ervine to James Vincefor exactly 100.Wells and Luke Wright had put on 90 for the fifth wicket to make the game safeand by then the few spectators were already heading home. Wright perished soon afterwards, edging Briggs to Jimmy Adams after making 39 soon afterwards Goodwin decided to call a halt.Briggs was rewarded with figures of 4 for 99 as the match fell away. Hampshire, still looking for their first Division One win of the season in four attempts, finished with nine points and Sussex took seven back home along the south coast.
