Sussex revive promotion challenge and deal Leicestershire's a blow after dominating at Hove

Ari Karvelas takes 4-14 in Foxes’ collapse as Durham secure place in Division One

Sussex revived their own promotion challenge and dealt Leicestershire’s a blow after dominating day two at Hove. Their seamers exploited a green-tinged pitch at the 1st Central County Ground to take eight wickets for just 40 runs in the morning session as Leicestershire were bundled out for 108 and conceded a first-innings deficit of 154.By taking just three bonus points, they also ensured that runaway leaders Durham will definitely be promoted from Division Two of the LV= Insurance County Championship next season with two games to spare.To join them Sussex probably need to win their three remaining matches, a tall order for a side with just one win all season – admittedly against Durham back in April. But their batters made sure their advantage wasn’t squandered.Tom Clark scored so far with 69 to help his side reach 234 for 5 at stumps, a lead of 388 with James Coles undefeated on 43.If Leicestershire do miss out on promotion they will reflect ruefully on a miserable collapse including a spell when they lost four wickets in 29 balls for just five runs after resuming on 68 for 2.First to go was Colin Ackermann, beaten by Indian left-armer Jaydev Unadkat’s late inswing. Undakat then moved one the other way to find Umar Amin’s edge and he was expertly backed up at the other end by Ari Karvelas, who finished with a season’s best 4 for 14 from 12 overs.Rehan Ahmed was athletically caught behind by the tumbling Ollie Carter poking outside off stump and Ben Cox shouldered arms in Karvelas’s next over.There was a recovery of sorts by opener Rishi Patel and Tom Scriven who survived nine overs before another collapse saw the last four wickets fall for 16 in 6.1 overs.Fynn Hudson-Prentice was rewarded for his exemplary wicket-to-wicket line as Scriven edged behind and Chris Wright lost his middle stump to an inswinger two balls later.Patel, who had watched six wickets fall at the other end on his way to 48, decided, with only the tail for company, to attack Karvelas but a mis-timed drive was superbly caught by Cheteshwar Pujara, running back from mid-on and hanging on to the ball at full stretch. Unadkat finished things off when Matt Salisbury slogged him high to mid-wicket.Tom Haines and Clark launched Sussex’s second innings with a stand of 49 but having done the hard work against the new ball Haines (34) frustratingly spliced a pull off Wright, who is joining Sussex next season, to mid-wicket.Ahmed was soon into a long spell down the slope and he picked up wickets either side of tea. Tom Alsop (31) unluckily played back but the ball rolled down onto his stumps while Clark, who batted for three hours for his 67 which included ten fours, was leg before to one that might have been sliding down the leg side.Leicestershire kept plugging away and Scriven took two wickets in the last hour. Cheteshwar Pujara under-edged a ball that was too close for him to cut, and wicketkeeper Cox pulled off an outstanding leg-side stumping to remove Carter, but it was a rare highlight on a sobering day for the Foxes.

اتخذ مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك، برئاسة حسين لبيب، قرارًا بشأن صفقة اللاعب الفرنسي تيدي أوكو، لاعب لوزيرن السويسري، بعد التراجع عن التعاقد معه في الصيف الجاري.

وخضع أوكو إلى الفحوصات الطبية الشاملة مع الزمالك قبل أسابيع وكان من المفترض أن يتمم انتقاله مع الزمالك، لكن حدث تغير مفاجئ في الصفقة.

وكان قد كشف ماريوس هابيامبير، وكيل جناح نادي لوزيرن السويسري، تيدي أوكو، الأسباب الحقيقية وراء فشل انتقاله إلى الزمالك في الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

وقال هابيامبير في تصريحات خاصة عبر بطولات: “اللاعب لا يُعاني من أي إصابة وتخطى الكشف الطبي بنجاح، وكل ما يُقال حول تاريخ إصاباته أمر غير منطقي”.

وأضاف: “لم نتوصل لاتفاق مالي مع نادي الزمالك، وهذا أمر طبيعي يحدث في عالم كرة القدم، وبالتالي، يمكنني التأكيد أن أوكو لن ينضم إلى الزمالك، كما أن كل ما يُقال عن وجود اتفاق مع نادي الرياض السعودي حتى هذه اللحظة غير صحيح”.

وأكد مصدر بالزمالك، أن النادي يجهز ملفًا كاملًا بعقود الفرنسي تيدي أوكو والتي وقع عليها النادي مع لوزيرن السويسري، بجانب توقيع اللاعب على بعض الأوراق الخاصة بموافقته على الانضمام للفريق.

وتابع المصدر، أن النادي هو من يملك حق تحديد مصير أوكو والقصة أشبه بصفقة الجابوني الراحل آرون بوبيندزا، وفي حالة توقيع اللاعب للرياض السعودي سيقدم الزمالك شكوى ضده.

Court issues stay order to prevent Ranatunga-led interim committee from taking over

The issue has already escalated to the highest levels of Sri Lankan governance – the office of president Ranil Wickremesinghe

Sri Lanka Cricket’s (SLC) administrative malaise took another turn on Tuesday as the country’s court of appeal issued a 14-day stay order preventing the government Gazette that appointed an “interim committee” from taking effect. The move had been spearheaded by the country’s sports minister Roshan Ranasinghe, but had been appealed against by SLC president Shammi Silva.It, however, appears to be no longer a purely sporting issue as prior to the court’s judgement it had already been escalated to the highest levels of Sri Lankan governance – the office of the Sri Lanka president Ranil Wickremesinghe. The matter was eventually discussed by the cabinet of ministers on Monday and even debated in Tuesday’s parliamentary session.According to widespread reports, President Wickremesinghe had only learnt of the move to appoint an interim committee through the media. Ranasinghe for his part has argued that the decision was vested solely with the sports minister and did not require the approval of the cabinet or the president.Related

Sports minister looks to replace SLC officials with Ranatunga-led interim committee

Nevertheless, following the matter being tabled at the cabinet meeting, where Ranasinghe was also present, it was decided that a four-member sub-committee, headed by foreign minister Ali Sabry, would be appointed to investigate SLC.”The cabinet has resolved to appoint a special sub-committee with the mandate to examine the current situation and work in collaboration with relevant stakeholders, including input from esteemed former cricketers,” a statement from the president’s media office said. “The primary objective of this sub-committee is to recommend immediate, viable measures to resolve the outstanding issues in Sri Lanka Cricket.”Speaking in parliament today, Ranasinghe also revealed that the president had asked him to withdraw the appointment of an interim committee. Ranasinghe, who has frequently accused the board headed by Silva of financial misappropriation and mismanagement remains bullish over his desire to see the Arjuna Ranatunga-led interim committee preside over SLC.Speaking to local media on Monday, he stated: “These are people enjoying public money. If the president, attorney general and the inspector general of police assist me, the entire SLC committee will be in prison for at least 15 years.”There are notable concerns, however, regarding how the ICC would respond to such a move, something the president is said to be cognisant of. Under Sri Lanka’s sports law, the government has the power to dissolve the governing body of any sport – a power it has used several times on SLC in the last 20 years. But during the time of the most recent interim committee, which presided for roughly a year between 2014 and 2015, the ICC had refused to disburse payments owed to SLC, and held those funds in escrow until a fresh board was elected. SLC was also demoted to observer status at ICC board meetings in that period.Meanwhile, it remains unclear who will appear as an SLC representative for the next ICC board meeting in two weeks’ time.

جيوكيريس يرد على مقارنته بـ هنري.. ويصرح: سأصنع تاريخي الخاص مع آرسنال

بدأ فيكتور جيوكيريس، مهاجم آرسنال رحلته بشكل مثير حيث اختار ارتداء القميص رقم 14 والذي ارتداه الأسطورة الفرنسية تييري هنري.

وأوضح نجم سبورتينج لشبونة السابق أنه يريد بناء إرثه في ملعب الإمارات وكتابة تاريخ جديد مع آرسنال، وكان هنري قد سجل 226 هدفًا خلال 370 مباراة ويعد الهداف التاريخي لآرسنال.

وقال جيوكيريس في تصريحات لـ”بي إن سبورت”: “لا أرغب بمقارنتي بما حققه في مسيرته وخاصة في آرسنال، أريد فقط أن أؤدي عملي وأظهر قدراتي”.

وأضاف: “أعرف تاريخ هذا الرقم، بصراحة لم تكن الخيارات كثيرة أمامي ولكن بمجرد أن رأيته متاحاً كان القرار سهلاً”.

واختتم بشأن ارتداء القميص رقم 14: “يشرفني ارتداءه هو رقم تاريخي عريق، أتمنى أن أساهم بأهدافي في تحقيق أهداف مشتركة لي وللنادي، لقد عمل وكلاء أعمالي طوال الوقت لصالحي”.

وشارك جيوكيريس في هزيمة فريقه آرسنال ضد توتنهام بهدف نظيف ولم يسجل أي هدف في ظهوره الأول مع الفريق، ويدرك اللاعب أن التحدي الحقيقي يبدأ مع انطلاق موسم الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

جدير بالذكر أن جيوكيريس قد خاض مع سبورتينج لشبونة الموسم الماضي 52 مباراة وسجل 54 هدفًا وصنع 13 هدفًا.

São Paulo quer Ganso para 2023? Ceni aprova? O que existe sobre a 'negociação'

MatériaMais Notícias

Nos últimos dias, a torcida do São Paulo foi surpreendida com notícias de uma provável possibilidade de Paulo Henrique Ganso, atualmente no Fluminense, voltar ao Morumbi em 2023. Entre críticas e elogios, há algo concreto na informação. O LANCE! apurou com fontes do Tricolor e descobriu que, sim, há uma possibilidade. Pequena, contudo.

+ Confira quem pode deixar o São Paulo no final da temporada

Segundo o L! descobriu com pessoas da cúpula de futebol do time paulista, houve uma consulta de pessoas do estafe do Ganso sobre a possiblidade de o camisa 10 da agremiação carioca voltar para São Paulo (SP).

O assunto foi levado para discussão da comissão técnica de Rogério Ceni. Um meia armador nato é uma das posições indicadas como carente de opções pelo treinador para a diretoria na reunião de planejamento de 2023 realizada na última semana, no CT da Barra Funda.

Por mais que a revelação do Santos tenha atuado junto com Ceni nos quatro anos que passou no tricolor paulista, entre 2012 e 2016, e seu estilo ‘clássico’ passe longe da admiração do ex-goleiro e do que ele pensa de futebol como técnico, houve aprovação pela total necessidade de peças para o plantel do próximo ano. Mas é aí que mora o problema para a gestão Julio Casares.

Flu não quer ‘se livrar’ de Ganso e multa é considerada alta

Recentemente, notícias envolvendo supostas negociações de Ganso motivaram os cariocas a se manifestarem publicamente. No último dia 14, o Flu emitiu uma nota oficial em que desmente a versão do presidente do Botafogo (parte associativa do clube), Durcesio Mello, de que teria oferecido André e Paulo Henrique Ganso ao Glorioso na última temporada. A afirmação do mandatário ao canal ‘Resenha com TF‘ foi em relação a uma possível troca por Matheus Babi, que atualmente defende as cores do Santa Clara, de Portugal.

Para começar, Ganso tem contrato com a equipe das Laranjeiras até o final de 2023. É titular absoluto no elenco do técnico Fernando Diniz. E não sairá gratuitamente antes disso. Para os paulistas, com dívidas de quase R$ 700 milhões, e buscando economia, a avaliação é clara: não há como pagar por alguém que pode assinar contrato com qualquer time em seis meses.

Investimentos em jogadores, conforme o L! já revelou, apenas se houver a conquista da vaga na Copa Libertadores. E em posições específicas, como goleiro, zagueiro e atacante rápido pelos lados.

Interesse em Ganso, há. O meia, que possui 221 jogos e 24 gols pelo clube, ganhou a Copa Sul-Americana de 2012, tem fãs na diretoria são-paulina. Um dos maiores é o diretor Muricy Ramalho, que trabalhou com Ganso no Santos, além do Morumbi.

Entretanto, o assunto voltará a ser discutido só no decorrer do ano. E por ser uma peça para 2023, a definição passa à margem de Ceni, cujo vínculo com o São Paulo tem a mesma duração e sua permanência, em dúvida até para o ano que vem, passa muito longe de ser definida para 2024.

Mitchell Johnson hits out at Cricket Australia for awards invite

The fast bowler was stood down from speaking engagements in Perth following his outspoken column

Mitchell Johnson has scoffed at Cricket Australia (CA) inviting him to an awards night just a week after the governing body cancelled two of his speaking engagements.CA axed two of the retired fast bowler’s guest speaking jobs during the first Test in Perth last week due to his highly controversial column about David Warner and chief selector George Bailey.Related

Título do Flamengo deixa sonho de Libertadores na fase de grupos mais fácil para o São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

O título da Copa Libertadores ganho pelo Flamengo no último sábado (29) deu um ânimo maior para o São Paulo. Isso porque com derrota do Athletico-PR, cresceram as oportunidades do Tricolor conseguir uma vaga direta já na fase de grupos da principal competição do continente.

A matemática é clara: o Tricolor ocupa atualmente a oitava colocação da classificação, com 50 pontos. Faz nesta terça-feira (1/11), às 21h30 (de Brasília), no Morumbi, um confronto direto com o Atlético-MG, o sétimo, com 51.

Acontece que com o título flamenguista, a última vaga na fase de grupos da próxima Libertadores por meio do Brasileirão será justamente a da equipe que terminar a competição no sexto lugar. Lugar hoje pertencente ao próprio Furacão, também com 51 pontos.

Ou seja, caso vença o Galo, na terça, o São Paulo chegará aos 53 pontos, se isola na sexta posição e fica, pelo menos temporariamente, no sonhado G-6 do Brasileirão, classificando-se sem precisar passar pela fase preliminar.

Situação extremamente cômoda para os paulistas, que torcem por um tropeço paranaense para se fixarem de vez na zona direta para a fase de grupos da Liberta.

Caso o título do torneio continental deste ano ficasse com o Athletico, a vida são-paulina se complicaria um pouco. Isso porque está a sete pontos de distância para o rival Corinthians, o quinto colocado na classificação e que seria dessa forma o último classificado direto pelo Brasileirão para a fase de grupos.

Segundo o site ‘Chance de Gol’, o Tricolor possui 64% de chances exatas de chegar na próxima Libertadores. Apesar do cenário menos complicado, contudo, as estatísticas apontam quase 20% de chances, apenas, para que essa classificação seja para a fase de grupos.

Narine and Asif Ali lead New York Strikers to Abu Dhabi T10 title

Deccan Gladiators, champions the last two seasons, fell well short after a below-par performance with the bat

ESPNcricinfo staff09-Dec-2023

New York Strikers ended Deccan Gladiators’ title-winning run•Abu Dhabi T10

Deccan Gladiators’ hopes of a hat-trick of Abu Dhabi T10 titles were dashed by New York Strikers, who put in a fantastic bowling display led by Sunil Narine in the final to romp home by seven wickets with four balls in hand on Saturday.Big scores had gone down as the tournament wore on, but Gladiators’ 91 for 5 after being sent in appeared insufficient for the big occasion. It proved to be exactly that, despite Strikers being 7 for 2 in 1.1 overs, with openers Muhammad Waseem and Rahmanullah Gurbaz dismissed cheaply.Niroshan Dickwella and Asif Ali, the Player of the Match, put the innings back on track, before Dickwella was sent back by Andre Russell for a 12-ball 14. From there on, it was all about Asif and captain Kieron Pollard, who put up 56 runs together without much scoreboard pressure to weigh them down.Asif scored 48 not out in 25 balls with two fours and four sixes, and Pollard chipped in with 22 not out in 13, with a four and six, as Strikers won the title.The win was set up by the bowlers, though. Gladiators had a decent opening stand of 28 with Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Nicholas Pooran, the No. 1 and No. 3 on the tournament run-scorers’ list, but Narine broke through in the third over with Kohler-Cadmore’s wicket for a seven-ball 13. Pooran fell to George Scrimshaw two balls later, and Gladiators were suddenly 28 for 2, which became 36 for 3, 41 for 4, and 57 for 5 after 7.1 overs, with Narine returning 2 for 6 from his two overs without conceding a single boundary.Russell, who finished with an unbeaten 30 from 18 balls with two fours and two sixes, and David Wiese, 20 not out from 11, with a four and two sixes, completed the innings with some momentum, but it was too few for Gladiators to defend on the night.
