Just when England’s players looked to be wilting under the oppressive wetheat of Colombo they once again displayed their new-found propensity to fightthemselves out of tricky situations with a stirring comeback in the lateevening sunshine

Charlie Austin15-Mar-2001Just when England’s players looked to be wilting under the oppressive wetheat of Colombo they once again displayed their new-found propensity to fightthemselves out of tricky situations with a stirring comeback in the lateevening sunshine. Now, after the first day of this crucial Third Test Match,an historic series victory remains a distinct possibility.Sri Lanka, like they did in Kandy, batted themselves into a strong positiononly to frivolously surrender their hard-fought advantage, losing four wicketsfor 14 runs to finish the day on 221 for seven. With their tail weakened bythe replacement of Kumar Dharmasena with left arm spinner, DinukHettiarachchi, their immediate goal tomorrow will be to score 250.So far in the Test series it has been the fast bowlers that have keptEngland’s hopes alive, as they claimed 18 of the 25 Sri Lanka wickets tofall in the first two Test Matches. At the Sinhalese Sports Club today,however, the spinners finally played their part. Ashley Giles and RobertCroft bowled 58 of the 91 overs, both conceded less than two runs per overand took five precious wickets between them.It was Giles, who only had one solitary wicket and a sore Achillestendon to show for his efforts in the Test Matches before today, whostarted the Sri Lankan slide, when he had Aravinda de Silva smartly caughtoff bat and pad by Michael Vaughan for 38 to end a 97-run partnership forthe fourth wicket.The loss of de Silva was followed soon after by that of Russel Arnold, whoonce again padded up, only to be adjudged out leg before by umpireDavid Orchard without scoring.Tillakaratne Dilshan was deceived in the air by Croft as he slogged across the line and, although he lingered like a man wronged, he can have no complaints about his decision.Moments before the close England then added the prize scalp of MahelaJayawardene to their late-evening pickings. Jayawardene scored yet anotherelegant half-century today, leaving him with a run of 61, 101 and 71 in thefirst innings in this three-Test series. Well as he batted, however, hisdismissal – caught behind as he tried to square cut Croft – was casual andmay cost Sri Lanka dear, for it has now exposed the Sri Lankan lower orderto the new ball.Earlier in the day Sanath Jayasuriya won his 16th toss in 18 innings. Theonly Buddhist cricket captain in world cricket is clearly on a differentplane when it comes to this important job. Unfortunately, his team hasgenerally failed to profit from his hand-spun advantage and they have onlywon three of those 16 Test Matches.When Andrew Caddick ripped through the usually tight defences of MarvanAtapattu in just the second over of the day, Sri Lanka’s cricketers may havefeared the worst. However, they enjoyed an excellent morning as SanathJayasuriya returned to form with 45, his highest score in six Test matches, surpassing the 26 he made in Durban.He was well supported by Kumar Sangakkara, the devil dressed in flannels, ifyou listen to the English players. Like Sangakkara or not, you could notdeny the elegance of his stroke-play, as he flowed to 45, only to betray hisinexperience again with a loose back foot drive immediately after theluncheon interval.Jayasuriya and de Silva then added 20 runs before the Sri Lankan captainskewed a catch to backward point – not for the first time in the series – ashe tried to loft Croft. Sri Lanka’s innings was back in the balanceon 108 for three. Jaywardene and de Silva then weathered the immediatedanger, but failed to finish the job.

The Birmingham Mail’s Ashley Preece has dropped a major update on Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka – and it’s one which should have the club’s fans very excited.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent weeks and months have suggested that some of European football’s biggest names have their sights on the 17-year-old, including Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. However, Preece has now suggested that the teenager’s future at Villa Park is “mapped out”, adding that he will be a part of the first team next season.

The journalist said of Chukwuemeka: “I can tell you he will be kept in the first-team, similar to Ramsey last season. Villa will be steady with him but, given game time, he can make a BIG impression next season. His Villa future is mapped out.”

Fans will be buzzing

Hailed as a “star in the making” by The Athletic’s Gregg Evans, Chukwuemeka netted a hat-trick in Villa’s 6-1 win over Newcastle to reach the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup last season, a performance which had Preece absolutely raving.

Writing in his post-match player ratings for the Birmingham Mail, he said: “This was a Carney Chukwuemeka masterclass. It was a clinic in how to play an advanced midfield role with the 17-year-old oozing confidence and swagger. The hype’s real surrounding this kid who, as supporters know, has been around Dean Smith’s first team for a long time now. Villa’s No.10 started almost every attack and looked to hurt Newcastle at every opportunity.

“European clubs are hovering looking to take Chukwuemeka and Villa could do with reassuring him that his future’s at Villa Park. He’s ready for some Premier League minutes. A scary talent who assisted Reddin as well. Unreal. He’s got everything.”

The teenager made his first team debut for Dean Smith’s side in the closing weeks of the Premier League season, coming on as a late substitute away at Spurs, before getting a more prolonged run-out on the final day against Chelsea (Transfermarkt).

Given the kind of incredible talent he possesses, this latest update about Villa planning to keep hold of Chukwuemeka and involve him in the first team next season should have fans absolutely buzzing.

Meanwhile, Dean Smith could sign a new Christian Benteke for Villa in this ace…

Ainda assim, o treinador tem que dar explicações na Vila Belmiro. Literalmente.

No dia 19, Dorival comparecerá à reunião do Conselho Deliberativo do clube a pedido dos conselheiros. O comandante se prontificou a dar explicações ao órgão.

-Foi um convite. Foi passado isso ao presidente. Aguardo ainda. Fico à disposição. Vou tentar colocar o que se passou desde que chegamos aqui e objetivos para os próximos 12 meses – disse o técnico, referindo-se ao tempo de seu contrato, que termina no final deste ano.

Eddie Howe rejected the chance to join Celtic as he has his heart set on taking over at Southampton, according to Football Insider.

The Lowdown: Hoops’ long-standing interest in Howe

Celtic were after Howe for a number of weeks following Neil Lennon’s resignation, but talks between the two parties collapsed at the end of May.

Dermot Desmond first met the 43-year-old in London at the beginning of April, and reports even suggested that a move was all but complete prior to the breakdown in discussions.

The Hoops have since moved on to Ange Postecoglou and have reportedly agreed compensation terms with Yokohoma F Marinos for the 55-year-old.

The Latest: Why Howe turned down Celtic

A source with knowledge of Howe’s situation informed Football Insider on Saturday that the Englishman has set his sights on a move to St Mary’s.

Ralph Hasenhuttl is currently in charge of the Saints, but Howe is willing to bide his time in regards to a return to the dugout, with location believed to be crucial to his next move.

He isn’t thought to be in the frame for the vacant roles at Everton or Tottenham and his strong roots on the south coast appear to be why he snubbed a move to Glasgow.

The Verdict: Did Howe lead Celtic on?

If this latest report is accurate and Howe is keen on staying in and around the English south coast, it seems as if he led the Hoops on over a Parkhead move. Celtic waited until Bournemouth’s season was over in a bid to bring his desired staff members with him, but it now seems that he was never really sold on moving north.

In hindsight, it could turn out to be a dodged bullet, for if he took over at Celtic and failed to settle, it could have impacted performances on the pitch.

It looks as if Postecoglou is now Celtic’s man and hopefully he’ll be fine with swapping Australia for Scotland for the long-term.
