Mithali Raj marked her return as captain of the India Women’s side with a clean sweep in the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka Women. Raj hit an unbeaten century – her fifth in ODIs – in the third ODI in Visakhapatnam to set up a 95-run win.India batted first for the first time in the series and lost their openers before getting to fifty. Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur then stabilised the innings with a 57-run stand for the third wicket. Even though India lost Harmanpreet and Vellaswami Vanitha in quick succession, Raj held up one end. She added 42 runs for the fifth wicket with Amita Sharma, before putting up an unbeaten stand of 81 for the sixth wicket in company of Jhulan Goswami to take India to 229 – the highest score by any team in this series. Raj, who remained unbeaten throughout the series, hit two sixes and eight fours in her 109-ball 104.Sri Lanka lost their first wicket early in a stiff chase, but their second-wicket pair of Lasanthi Madushani and Chamari Atapattu resisted India’s charge for 13.1 overs. That stand happened to be last bit of fight from Sri Lanka as they lost regular wickets to eventually crumble for 134 in 44 overs. Poonam Yadav bowled a stifling spell of 10-3-13-4.The teams are scheduled to play a three-match Twenty20 series, starting January 25.

اللاعب الإسباني حقق كل البطولات الممكنة مع مانشستر سيتي، وذلك خلال الفترة التي لعبها منذ 2018 عندما انتقل من أتلتيك بلباو وحتى الآن.

BCB confident of securing series with Big Three

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is confident of leaving Singapore having secured home-and-away bilateral series against India, England and Australia for the next two years

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) is confident of securing home-and-away bilateral series against India, England and Australia for the next two years after the ICC Board meeting in Singapore. The only downside for the BCB from the meeting is the the introduction of a play-off match between the current bottom-ranked Test side and the next Intercontinental Cup champions.”Negotiations are ongoing so it is quite early to say what we have gained in total,” a BCB official, requesting anonymity, said. “Most of the negotiations are going on with the BCCI, Cricket Australia and the ECB. Otherwise, there was no problem for Bangladesh heading into the meeting as the Test status had been secured in the earlier ICC meeting in Dubai.”Bangladesh will play according to the current FTP schedule, but with bilateral agreements in place. We will get more cricket for sure, and that will reflect in the next two years.”After returning from the last meeting, BCB president Nazmul Hassan had spoken about how he had decided to go with the majority if Bangladesh’s problems were removed from the “position paper”. The updated proposal does not contain the two-tier system, further enhancing Bangladesh’s support for the Big Three.Bangladesh toured Australia in 2003 for two Tests and three ODIs and played only three ODIs on their 2008 visit. The two sides last met in a Test match in 2006 in Bangladesh. With the 2015 World Cup a year away, BCB will look to fit in a tour to Australia this year.Bangladesh’s last Test series against India was in 2010 and the side have never toured India. A slot for an India series in 2016 is being discussed, but it has not yet been confirmed. Against England, Bangladesh last played a home-and-away series in 2010 but were not scheduled to tour England, or India, until 2020.The play-off match against the next Intercontinental Cup winner is the only issue of discontent for Bangladesh. The Intercontinental Cup is likely to begin after World Cup 2015, and end by 2017. The cut-off date to decide which Full Member will feature in the play-off matches is yet to be decided.According to the BCB official, the play-offs may be in the form of four five-day matches, which may be given first-class status. If the Test-playing nation wins, the Intercontinental Cup winner will not qualify as the eleventh Test nation. If the Associate country wins, however, the incumbent Test-playing nation will have 5% deducted from its ICC-generated revenue.

Assume o favoritismo! Botafogo quer abrir vantagem na Sul-Americana

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo vira a chave. Após uma derrota no último domingo para o Goiás, no Campeonato Brasileiro, o Alvinegro tem poucos dias para superar o resultado negativo e seguir em frente. Nesta quarta-feira, o clube de General Severiano vai até Assunção, no Paraguai, para enfrentar o Sol de América, no Estádio Luís Alfonso Giagni, pela segunda fase da Copa Sul-Americana.A partida será transmitida pela DAZN e em tempo real pelo site do LANCE!.

Apesar do revés sofrido no fim de semana, o Alvinegro chega ao Paraguai com a confiança por um resultado positivo, o que pode ser fundamental para fechar o confronto e garantir a classificação. A partida da volta acontece na próxima quarta-feira, às 19h15, no Estádio Nilton Santos. Quem avançar na competição garante uma premiação de 375 mil dólares (1,5 milhão de reais, na cotação atual).

Em solos paraguaios, o Botafogo aposta na diferença técnica entre as equipes para sair de campo com a vitória. Apesar da boa campanha do Sol de América no Campeonato Paraguaio do ano passado, a equipe não conseguiu repetir o mesmo desempenho na atual temporada, chegando para o confronto contra a equipe de General Severiano passando por uma fase irregular.

Desta forma, o Botafogo busca sair do Paraguai com um resultado favorável pela classificação. Como a regra do gol qualificado fora de casa está ativa na Copa Sul-Americana, o Alvinegro pode conquistar vantagem balançando a rede em algumas ocasiões. Até aqui, o time comandado por Eduardo Barroca sentiu dificuldade em transformar a posse de bola em gols.

– Precisamos transformar a posse em chances de gol. Não conseguimos contra o Goiás. Estamos em um processo de evolução, não será da noite para o dia. Estamos melhorando a cada jogo. E vamos trabalhar, ouvir as orientações do Barroca – destacou Fernando, em coletiva realizada durante a semana.

A boa campanha na Copa Sul-Americana até aqui pode ser mais um fator para ajudar o Botafogo a conquistar a classificação. Ainda sob o comando de Zé Ricardo, na primeira fase, o Alvinegro eliminou o Defensa y Justicia, brigando pelo título argentino na época, com autoridade, vencendo as partidas por 1 a 0, no Rio de Janeiro, e 3 a 0, em solos hermanos.

Clarke sorry for Steyn anger

Michael Clarke has apologised for his fiery confrontation with Dale Steyn, admitting that he had overstepped the mark

‘It was a long day’ – Michael Clarke

Australia’s captain Michael Clarke has admitted he overstepped the mark in a fiery confrontation with Dale Steyn as the decisive Test against South Africa at Newlands ticked towards its thrilling conclusion, and also acknowledged a caution from the umpires about his side’s treatment of the ball on the final day.As the umpires prepared to call the start of the final hour, Steyn and James Pattinson became involved in an exchange which Clarke stepped into. His angry words to Steyn escalated the stand-off until the umpire Aleem Dar was forced to step between them. In the aftermath of victory, Clarke conceded his fault though not referring to Steyn by name. The pair spoke warmly after hostilities were ceased by the final wicket.”You definitely had two extremely passionate teams that wanted to win this Test. There were obviously a lot of words throughout the game. Let’s call it banter,” Clarke said. “Do you know what? Honestly, if anybody was out of line it was me and I apologise to the opposition player I was out of line to.”A player who I have the utmost respect for, who tries to kill me every time bat, who batted exceptionally well, and I was out of line. If any player on either team, it was me who was out of line. Let’s just say he [Steyn] got me at a bad time. We just had a decision that didn’t go our way that I would have liked to have seen go our way but that’s the game.”And certainly as captain of your country you’ve got to be able to cop that on the chin. Something was said to one of my team mates. I seem to make this mistake a few times but I jumped in after him. It doesn’t matter what happened, what I said was something out of character and I apologise for that. I shouldn’t have said what I said.”Tempers flared as the Cape Town Test drew to a thrilling finale•Getty Images

This was far from the only flashpoint on a final day that also featured queries over the care of the ball, a beamer delivered by Pattinson and a confrontation between Australia’s players and the umpires following the reversal of a decision to give out Vernon Philander on some rather ambiguous evidence.During the 74th over of the innings, the umpires Dar and Kumar Dhamasena called over touring captain Michael Clarke and inspected the ball while appearing to offer a caution against more bounce throws. The wicketkeeper Brad Haddin had taken to waiting for the ball to bounce until he took returns from the field, often allowing it to bounce on the pitch itself.Several subsequent conversations were had between Dar, Dharmasena, and other Australians including Haddin and Ryan Harris. It is within the power of the umpires to impose a five-run penalty and have the batsmen choose a replacement ball of similar age if they feel “the deterioration in the condition of the ball is greater than is consistent with the use it has received”.Clarke confirmed the nature of the conversation and said his players had abided by the umpires’ ruling once it had been delivered to him. “The umpires were up me about a few things. That was one of them,” he said. “I always believed that if you’re in the ring you should be throwing the ball on the full because it’s a 20 metre throw. If the guys are on the boundary you can accept that some guys can’t throw it that far.”Whatever criticism we cop for that I’m more than happy to cop but I think our players understand there is a line and we know not to overstep that. We were asked by the umpires to make sure we were throwing the ball on the full and I think we accepted that and listened to that.”Tensions over the two teams’ care of the ball has simmered since the second Test in Port Elizabeth, after which the opener David Warner openly questioned the legality of South Africa’s handling, particularly AB de Villiers’ use of his wicketkeeping gloves to rub the ball. The hosts gained sharp reverse swing on the fourth day as they rattled to victory.That allegation drew heavy criticism from South African team management and an ICC fine for Warner, although Harris later repeated the accusation with the qualification that it must have been legal because the umpires did not step in. The umpires were seen talking to de Villiers on day one of the Newlands match and gesturing about his use of the wicketkeeping gloves on the ball.Faf du Plessis added another chapter to the affair when he expressed surprise on the third evening that Australia managed to gain sharp reverse swing within 30 overs, having not achieved any deviation through the air at St George’s Park. Having heard of this allegation, the tourists made their displeasure known to du Plessis on the final day, being picked up doing so on the stump microphones.Last year, du Plessis was fined 50% of his match fee during the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai after being captured on camera rubbing the ball near the zipper of his trouser pocket.Relations between du Plessis and the Australians were not enhanced by his contention that the visitors circled him “like wild dogs” when he chose to pick the ball up while batting on day three. Warner was heard to greet du Plessis with mock howls, before offering him a send-off when he was dismissed by Steve Smith shortly before the tea interval.

Dando o que falar: as polêmicas do VAR até agora no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Enganou-se quem achava que a utilização de árbitros de vídeo, mais conhecidos como VAR, faria acabar as polêmicas no Campeonato Brasileiro. Em somente seis rodadas, vários casos com reclamações das equipes contra o uso já foram observados, com o principal sendo o pedido de anulação por parte do Botafogo na partida que perdeu para o Palmeiras, na rodada passada, com a marcação de um pênalti pelo VAR supostamente sem seguir o protocolo. Confira este especial!

BOTAFOGO X PALMEIRAS

No último sábado, o Palmeiras venceu o Botafogo por 1 a 0, no Mané Garrincha. O gol foi marcado de pênalti após marcação do árbitro Paulo Roberto Alves Junior, contando com o auxílio do Adriano Milczvski, árbitro de vídeo da partida. A polêmica ficou por conta de o árbitro ter, supostamente, autorizado o reinício do jogo, e somente depois disso paralisado para rever a jogada no vídeo e marcar a penalidade, o que não seria o correto caso seguisse o protocolo do VAR. O Botafogo pediu a anulação da partida e aguarda decisão.

BAHIA X FLUMINENSE

Outro jogo com polêmica do VAR aconteceu no último domingo, na vitória do Bahia sobre o Fluminense por 3 a 2. O árbitro Igor Benevenuto marcou pênalti depois de consultar o vídeo para o Bahia. Na cobrança, o camisa 9 cobrou mal e Agenor fez a defesa. Uma nova revisão do VAR, no entanto, constatou que o goleiro se adiantou no lance. Como já tinha amarelo por reclamação, o arqueiro foi novamente advertido e expulso.

FLUMINENSE X GOIÁS

Na primeira rodada deste Brasileiro, no dia 28 de abril, o Goiás venceu o Fluminense por 1 a 0 e o jogo também contou com polêmica do VAR. Foram três consultas ao vídeo pelo árbitro Dewson Freitas: primeiro para anular um pênalti em Bruno Silva e depois para confirmar penalidade a favor do Fluminense em lance de mão do zagueiro Yago, além de anular gol de Everaldo – lance que causou maior polêmica.

BOTAFOGO X FORTALEZA

Pela terceira rodada, o Botafogo venceu o Fortaleza por 1 a 0 e, mais uma vez, o VAR foi personagem de polêmica. Pelo árbitro Wagner Reway e árbitro de vídeo Leandro Pedro Vuaden, o auxiliar do VAR viu pênalti de Gilson em Wellington Paulista, mas o juiz principal não seguiu e mandou o lance seguir, gerando muita reclamação dos jogadores cearenses.

ATLÉTICO-MG X AVAÍ

Outro jogo da primeira rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro que contou com polêmica do VAR foi a vitória do Atlético-MG sobre o Avaí por 2 a 1. O árbitro foi Rodolpho Toski Marques e o árbitro de vídeo, Rodrigo Nunes de Sa. O gol que seria de empate dos catarinenses foi anulado após a consulta das imagens.

CORINTHIANS X GRÊMIO

Mais um jogo com polêmica do VAR neste Campeonato Brasileiro foi na quarta rodada, no empate sem gols entre Corinthians e Grêmio. O árbitro Marcelo de Lima Henrique chegou a marcar um pênalti a favor do Grêmio quando Everton chutou a bola no braço esquerdo de Fagner. O lance, entretanto, foi anulado após a checagem do vídeo.

SANTOS X INTERNACIONAL

No último fim de semana, o empate sem gols entre Santos e Internacional pelo Campeonato Brasileiro também gerou discussão pelo VAR. Aos 39 minutos, Rodrygo tabelou com o meia peruano pelo lado esquerdo e se chocou com Cuesta dentro da área. O árbitro Rodolpho Toski Marques assinalou o pênalti na hora, mas anulou a marcação após consultar o VAR, o que gerou muita reclamação por parte do Peixe.

Pablo e Rojas correm em campo, mas só voltam ao São Paulo após a pausa

MatériaMais Notícias

O treino do São Paulo contou, nesta quinta-feira, com duas presenças ilustres no CT da Barra Funda: Pablo e Rojas. Ambos iniciam uma leve transição no processo de recuperação de suas lesões, e devem voltar apenas após a disputa da Copa América, período em que os campeonatos também darão uma pausa.

Pablo precisou passar por uma cirurgia para a retirada de um cisto na região lombar da coluna, no dia 18 de abril. A princípio, o atacante sentia dores nas panturrilhas, mas o departamento médico investigou o problema até encontrar a verdadeira causa, que exigiu o procedimento cirúrgico. Desde então, o clube não divulga prazos para o retorno do atleta.

Já o meia-atacante Rojasse machucou no jogo contra o Vitória, no dia 26 de outubro do ano passado, pelo Brasileirão-2018. Para curar a lesão, considerada grave, o equatoriano precisou passar por uma cirurgia de reconstrução dos ligamentos após ruptura do tendão patelar do joelho direito. Seu processo de transição é bem mais lento do que o do companheiro, e também não tem prazo de retorno, no entanto espera-se que ele esteja apto depois da pausa.

Nesta quinta-feira, ambos deram corridas leves no campo anexo do CT da Barra Funda, acompanhados de um profissional de fisioterapia do clube. Apesar da presença da dupla, o clube prefere tratar como um processo lento de transição, para não criar expectativas quanto aos retornos.

Finch promises aggressive response

Despite Glenn Maxwell’s dazzling 74 off 33 balls, Australia went down to Pakistan by 16 runs in their opening game of the World T0 and find themselves having to play catch up in the remainder of their group matches

Despite Glenn Maxwell’s dazzling 74 off 33 balls, Australia went down to Pakistan by 16 runs in their opening game of the World T0 and find themselves having to play catch up in the remainder of their group matches. Aaron Finch, who was involved in a century partnership with Maxwell against Pakistan, feels that Australia have no choice but to play in uninhibited fashion now, something that might just end up suiting their aggressive game.”In such a short tournament like this you probably expect to be in this kind of situation at some point,” Finch said. “I guess it’s not ideal to be in it after the first game but there is not a real lot we can do. We are an attacking team, an aggressive team so I think what you will see now is even more free-flowing play, more attacking play.”I think we can take that to another level now and we have got nothing to lose from now on. We have to win three out of three. You can’t do that if you sit back and let the game dictate to you. I think you are going to see the team really take on the opposition and give it a serious crack.”Next up for Australia are West Indies on Friday. The defending champions were in the same position as Australia now find themselves, having gone down to India in their first match. But they rebounded on Tuesday with a convincing win over hosts Bangladesh. Playing a major role in that victory was legspinner Samuel Badree, who picked up 4 for 15 in four overs, while Sunil Narine was difficult to get away as he often is, with figures of 1 for 17 in four overs.While Maxwell had taken on the Pakistan spinners with several swept boundaries, Australia also lost their top five batsmen, including him, to them on a pitch Finch said was slow and not one on which you could attack spin without risking trouble. Australia will be confronted with a similar test on the same ground against Badree and Narine, and Finch said they would have to be spot on with their planning against the duo.”Badree has opened the bowling for them for a few games now. He is an interesting bowler. He bowls a great length. He is someone who is hard to hit down the ground and it is a bit of a risk if you go across the line. He is someone we are going to have to come up with some pretty clear plans against.”Narine… a lot of guys have played him in the Big Bash and in the IPL. While having faced him quite a bit we are going to have our plans. He is still a quality bowler. He spins it both ways. Anyone who does that is going to present a challenge.”
