Series win means a lot to team – Clarke

It was fitting for a one-day series that has felt distinctly unloved that Michael Clarke was presented with his trophy in front of a near empty Ageas Bowl on a chilly September evening.For a few reasons this series, although played in front of near full-houses, has not felt as though it has captured the imagination. The weather, which ruined two matches, England’s decision to rest five key players and the general fatigue that follows an intense Ashes campaign were all contributing factors.However, Michael Clarke was not going to allow such excuses to dampen his delight at claiming a trophy, their first in any format in England since winning the one-day series in 2009 by 6-1 margin.”For a lot of people this series doesn’t mean a lot, but to this team it meant a great deal,” he said. “We haven’t performed as well as we would have liked as a one-day unit in the UK over the past couple of years and all the boys have worked exceptionally hard. It’s a great reward for that hard work. Everyone in our changing room was extremely excited and so we should be, we deserve this win.”Clarke was doubtful for the deciding match after another flare up of his chronic back problem, which has been a talking point throughout the tour. Although not moving entirely freely – and he admitted the back was “pretty sore” after the match – he contributed 75 in the series-defining stand of 163 with Shane Watson.”I certainly wouldn’t have taken the field if I thought I was going to let the boys down,” he said. “If I couldn’t perform at my best I wouldn’t have taken the field, but I certainly didn’t want to miss this game. My back was certainly sore over the last few days and it’s quite sore now, but we won so it was worth it. It was nice to contribute as well, I had the easy job standing at the other end to Watto – the way he played made my job a lot easier. It’s a nice feeling to be sat here as winners of the series.”For Watson, who became a figure of fun during the height of his lbw and DRS issues in the Tests, this was a pleasing way to conclude a tour where, barring a niggle at the tail-end of the Durham Test, he has been able to stay injury free. “It’s always nice when you day turns out well,” he said. “Everyone knew how important it was to win the one-day series. It’s a really exciting time in Australian cricket to see how we are evolving.”Clarke will now return to Australia – which may not feel like home after such a stretch overseas – but only for two weeks before, fitness permitting, he takes the one-day squad to India for a seven-match one-day series. That does not seem ideal ahead of another Ashes series, although care is being taken by the selectors not to repeat the mistakes of 2010-11 when a similar trip meant very little preparation time for the Tests, but Clarke sees this one-day team as an equally important element.”The India series is pretty important to is, we want to get back to No. 1,” he said. “We need to get more consistent away from home and this series was a good start.”Eoin Morgan, meanwhile, was left to reflect on England’s self-inflicted damage in the first half of the run chase with the run outs of Kevin Pietersen and Luke Wright for ducks which undid an impressive final 20 overs with the ball.”At one stage, they looked like getting about 350,” he said. So to restrict them to under 300 on a very good wicket, we felt it was a chaseable total. It was disappointing not to get closer, or even over the line. Two run-outs don’t help. We lost wickets throughout the whole innings, didn’t have a substantial innings from any individual or a big partnership.”

Foi aos trancos e barrancos que o Botafogo conseguiu uma respiro na Taça Rio. Nesta quinta-feira, o Alvinegro goleou a Portuguesa-RJ por 4 a 1, no Nilton Santos. Após a partida, o lateral-direito Marcinho alertou sobre o ritmo de jogo na primeira etapa.

– Claro (acredito em milagre). A gente tem trabalhado bastante, e se vier a classificação vai ser merecida. Tomamos um gol, não podemos dar esse mole. Mas saímos no lucro. Primeiro tempo foi muito ruim, mas colocamos a cabeça no lugar, e conseguimos fazer os gols no segundo tempo – disse ao “Premiere”.

O Alvinegro também precisa vencer o Americano no domingo, torcer para que o Flamengo perca o Fla-Flu e a Cabofriense no máximo empate com o Madureira, na última rodada da Taça Rio. Além disso, precisa tirar um saldo de quatro gols do Rubro-Negro.

وكلاء فرانك كيسي يصدرون بيانًا ناريًا للرد على صحفي مقرب من برشلونة

أصدرت شركة “أمبيشن جروب سبورتس مانجنمنت” والمسئولة عن الدولي الإيفواري، فرانك كيسي، لاعب وسط برشلونة، بيانًا للرد على الصحفي جيرارد روميرو والمقرب من نادي برشلونة.

وكان جيرارد روميرو قد قال في أكثر من تغريدة وبث عبر صفحته الشخصية، إن فرانك كيسي لديه عروض من المملكة العربية السعودية لكنه لا يريد الرحيل، من أجل حث جمهور برشلونة على الغضب منه.

Australia bite tongues over Broad decision

Australia are privately fuming but biting hard on their tongues and declining to express any public anger over the reprieve of Stuart Broad

Australia are privately fuming but biting hard on their tongues and declining to express any public anger over the reprieve of Stuart Broad after the umpire Aleem Dar failed to detect a thick edge to slip from the bowling of Ashton Agar.In the second major umpiring controversy in successive days at Trent Bridge, England were only 232 ahead when Broad stood his ground. Australia’s players reacted with considerable dismay at the decision, which they could not refer to the third umpire after using up their DRS allocation earlier in the day.Broad was still in occupation alongside Ian Bell at the close, by which time the hosts’ lead had reached 261. While the players’ immediate response on the field was plain, and the coach Darren Lehmann made his displeasure plain on the dressing room balcony, the fast bowler Peter Siddle did his best to avoid critiques of Broad, the umpires or the current protocols for the use of technology, saying only that he had only seen a bigger edge not given out “in the backyard maybe off my brother”.”How many people have ever walked? Some. That’s right, some,” Siddle said. “At the end of day it’s the umpires’ decision. The umpires make the decision and players stick with it. We just went about it. You finish the over and go through to the next over. If you watched out there, there wasn’t a big deal made of it. We got stuck in and just kept working to get the wicket.’I don’t see bowlers asking you back’

“The review system was brought in to get rid of the howler, I don’t see why umpire Dar couldn’t have had someone is his ear saying you’ve got that one wrong let’s just overturn that quickly. This has been a terrific game but I think a lot will be talked about that incident, which is sad.” – Michael Vaughan

“DRS was brought in to correct obviously wrong decisions and that is how captains should use it. Alastair Cook does just that, he is very sparing with it, and hopefully Michael Clarke does the same after this. To me, it has to be the umpire [fault]. A player is allowed to stand his ground. If Australia had one appeal left, Broad would have walked. The fact there was no referral left, he left it up to the umpire.” – Glenn McGrath

“The rules say that it’s ‘in the opinion of the umpire’ so it’s above things like ‘The Spirit of the Game’. I don’t see bowlers asking you back when the ball is sliding down leg. There is no debate, it’s quite simple. The Australians I have played with and have watched, with the exception of Adam Gilchrist, believe in standing and it’s up to the umpire to give you out – there shouldn’t be a morale argument. They should be upset, disappointed and angered by the umpires. If they keep making poor decisions, it’s up to the ICC to do something about it.” – Geoff Boycott

“He (Dar) always gets the crucial decisions wrong & always has, that’s why he’s not a great umpire! We all make mistakes & it’s a very tough job being an umpire, but when Dar continually makes crucial mistakes why does he keep getting a gig?” – Shane Warne on Twitter

“Obviously people are going to be frustrated but it’s hard out there for players, for umpires. It’s a long day, it’s a tough day for people out there. Things are going to happen and we just have to deal with it. That’s just a part of the game and spectators have to understand that – that there are times when things like that happen. Obviously it’s a long day and it’s hard for everyone involved. We can’t be blaming anyone.”Siddle’s acceptance of Broad’s failure to walk – common practice in professional cricket for a generation and more – was in contrast to howls of outrage on social media sites and from media commentators, many of who judged Broad’s behaviour as immoral and unsporting.Michael Holding, the former West Indian fast bowler, contended that Broad’s behaviour was comparable to that of the West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin, who falsely claimed a catch against Pakistan in a Champions Trophy match at The Oval in London last month. Ramdin was banned for two one-day games by the ICC match referee, who happened to be Broad’s father, Chris.”What Stuart Broad did amounts to the same thing as Ramdin,” Holding told Sky TV. “He knew he had hit the ball. The ICC fined Ramdin and suspended him for ‘actions that were contrary to the spirit of the game’. What Stuart Broad did is contrary to the spirit of the game. He played the ball and stayed there.”The day after England sought clarification from the ICC following a Hot Spot operator error that contributed to Jonathan Trott’s lbw dismissal, Dar’s howler was not referred to technology that would have picked up the mistake because Australia no longer had any recourse to do so. Umpires do have the right to refer some decisions themselves if in doubt, but for now are limited to low catches and bump balls. Dar’s refusal of Australia’s appeal was as unequivocal as it was mistaken”You can’t do anything about that,” Siddle said of the burned referrals. “You use them because you think you’re going to get a result early on and you don’t. You can’t just hold them and put them in the back pocket and say ‘I’m going to get one in the afternoon’ and save it for that. You use them when you think there’s a chance of getting a wicket and that’s what they’re there for.”For their part, England stood by the view that Broad was well within his rights to stand and wait for Dar’s decision. It is debatable whether he would have done so had Australia still been able to use a video referral, but his team-mate Kevin Pietersen did not think Broad should have taken any other action in the circumstances.”Each and every player who plays for their country, their club side, for their franchise or their county has the opportunity to wait for the decision the umpire makes and you respect the umpire’s decision,” Pietersen said. “We play hard. We play fair and each individual has the responsibility and makes the judgement if he will wait for the umpire’s decision. Aleem Dar is a fantastic umpire and he has been rated one of the best umpires in world cricket over the last few years. Wait and respect his decision.”Contrary to reports, no apology has been forthcoming from the ICC to the ECB regarding the Trott decision on the second day.

Corinthians passa a ter saldo positivo nas disputas de pênalti na Era Cássio

MatériaMais Notícias

Foi o golaço de Vágner Love, de voleio, contra o Racing, que impediu a derrota e a eliminação do Corinthians na Sul-Americana com a bola rolando. Porém, foram as defesas de Cássio nas penalidades que garantiram a classificação paulista para a próxima fase da competição continental.

No dia em que completou 395 jogos pelo clube, se tornando o segundo goleiro com mais partidas na história do Timão, empatado com Gylmar dos Santos Neves e atrás apenas de Ronaldo, o camisa 12 passou a ter também um saldo positivo em disputas de pênalti pelo clube. Essa foi a 9ª vez que o arqueiro passou pelas cobranças alternadas com o Alvinegro, e a quinta em que saiu vitorioso. A terceira consecutiva.

PARANDO FABULOSO

O bom desempenho de Cássio nos pênaltis com a camisa do Corinthians começou em 2013, em seu segundo ano no clube. Após o empate em 0 a 0 com o São Paulo no tempo normal da semifinal do Paulistão, a definição do finalista foi para as cobranças alternadas.

Logo em sua primeira disputa de pênaltis, Cássio brilhou. O goleiro corintiano defendeu a batida de Luis Fabiano – Ganso já havia cobrado por cima -, no canto direito, e abriu caminho para o triunfo sobre o rival por 4 a 3.

DEFESAS E DERROTAS

Cássio manteria o bom desempenho nos pênaltis nos anos seguintes, defendendo cobranças de Rogério Ceni, em 2013 e em 2015, de Eduardo da Silva, do Flamengo, em 2014, de Alan Kardec, do São Paulo, também em 2015, de Cícero, do Fluminense, em 2016, e Luan, do Grêmio, e Lucca, da Ponte Preta, ambos em 2017. No entanto, a equipe acabou derrotada em quatro das cinco disputas de pênaltis entre 2015 e 2017.

Em 2015, o time acabou eliminado pelo Palmeiras na semifinal do Paulista, nos pênaltis. No ano seguinte, pelo Audax. No início de 2017, mesmo com Cássio defendendo a cobrança de Araruna, o Corinthians perdeu a decisão da Florida Cup para o São Paulo. Na mesma temporada, pela Copa do Brasil, eliminou o Brusque, que bateu duas vezes para fora, mas acabou caindo diante do Internacional. O camisa 12 defendeu a cobrança de Ortiz, porém, Maycon, Marquinhos Gabriel e Arana desperdiçaram.

O INÍCIO DA VIRADA

Após defender cobranças de Luis Fabiano, Rogério Ceni – duas vezes – e Araruna, Cássio voltou a brilhar contra o São Paulo, nas semifinais do Paulistão de 2018.

Após devolver o 1 a 0 do jogo de ida, com um gol de Rodriguinho já nos acréscimos, a definição do finalista ficou para os pênaltis. Melhor para os corintianos, que viram Cássio defender as batidas de Diego Souza e Liziero e classificar o Alvinegro para mais uma decisão de Estadual.

BRILHO DE CAMPEÃO

Da mesma forma com que o Corinthians eliminou o São Paulo, ele garantiu a taça de campeão paulista de 2018: através das defesas de Cássio. Após nova derrota por 1 a 0 no primeiro jogo, dessa vez contra o Palmeiras, e vitória pelo mesmo placar na volta, novamente com gol de Rodriguinho, o Timão decidiu o seu destino nas penalidades.

Logo na primeira cobrança, o camisa 12 corintiano fez jus à fama de pegador de pênalti, impedindo o gol de Dudu. O goleiro defenderia ainda a batida de Lucas Lima, garantindo mais um título paulista para a galeria do Corinthians.

A CONSAGRAÇÃO INTERNACIONAL

Campeão mundial e da Libertadores com o Corinthians, Cássio nunca havia defendido um pênalti contra um clube estrangeiro em sua trajetória com a camisa alvinegra. Até esta quarta-feira. E em dose dupla.

Contra o Racing, da Argentina, pela Copa Sul-Americana, o goleiro corintiano garantiu a classificação paulista ao defender as cobranças de Domínguez e Solari, após o empate em 1 a 1 no tempo normal entre as equipes. Agora, são nove disputas de pênaltis do Corinthians com Cássio no gol e quatro vitórias.

O Fluminense não conseguiu superar o Vasco e a boa marcação do Cruz-Maltino, no Mané Garrinccha. Neste sábado, após a derrota por 1 a 0, o atacante do Tricolor, Luciano afirmou que a equipe comandada por Alberto Valentim atuou somente para buscar uma bola.

– A bola não entrou, mas serve de aprendizado. Eles só se defenderam, a gente só atacou. Acharam uma bola, eles só sabem cruzar bola na área. Não vi perigo, fomos superiores – disse ao “Premiere”.
