A equipe ainda padece para deslanchar ofensivamente. O Botafogo lidou com lesões e rodou seu elenco, mas não encontrou um atalho ideal para fazer a transição ofensiva com precisão. Por mais que tenha a possibilidade de contar com a reestreia de Júnior Santos no Chile, o desafio interno alvinegro tende a ser forte.

Para a ligação entre o meio e o ataque, o Alvinegro não viu a afirmação de jogadores. No meio, Gabriel Pires começou a temporada como titular. Porém, o início promissor do atleta aos poucos deu lugar a atuações oscilantes. Houve testes com Lucas Piazon, Raí e Gustavo Sauer, além de momentos nos quais Lucas Fernandes foi lançado.

Harris, Short and Kellaway steer Victoria to victory in a short chase to seal their second straight Sheffield Shield final appearance against WA next week

Tristan Lavalette17-Mar-2023

Victoria recorded a confidence-boosting seven-wicket victory over Western Australia at the WACA to set-up a rematch between the teams in next week’s Sheffield Shield final.Chasing just 61 runs to book a spot in the decider starting on March 23, after day three was halted by rain and bad light, Victoria endured several wobbles before achieving the target in the 27th over.Victoria leapfrogged Queensland into second place as they eye redemption after falling short against WA in last season’s decider, which finished in a draw.Their victory was set up by routing WA for 122 on the opening day before gaining a first-innings lead of 176 runs through half-centuries from opener Marcus Harris, in-form Matthew Short and 20-year-old Campbell Kellaway.Victoria has enjoyed a spectacular rise since the resumption of the Shield season last month with four straight victories to storm into the final.”I thought we were staring down the barrel of a wooden spoon,” Victoria coach Chris Rogers said after the match. “We’ve just had this fantastic run built on the back of a lot of younger players as well which has been pleasing.”You kind of think the bubble might burst a little bit with some of our inexperience but they’ve just continued to get the job done.”Victoria will return home to Melbourne for a few days before making the long journey back to Perth ahead of the final.They have several selection dilemmas with skipper Peter Handscomb and offspinner Todd Murphy likely to be available as they return from Australia’s Test tour of India.”It will be tough and there will be heartache for a couple of guys but this is part of being professional sportsmen, you’ve got to deal with these selection issues,” Rogers said.It was WA’s first loss of the season at home and they appeared mostly lethargic throughout having already secured hosting rights for the final.WA’s attack is set to be considerably strengthened by the inclusion of speedster Lance Morris, who has returned from Indiam and regulars Joel Paris and Matt Kelly.”We fully expect all three to be fit and firing and ready to go,” WA coach Adam Voges said. “We’ll take a lot of lessons out of this week and I think that will help us in our preparation for next week.”Even though a victory appeared inevitable, experienced openers Harris and Travis Dean were not taking anything for granted amid the high stakes on the fourth morning. They didn’t score in the opening couple of overs before Dean was bowled by quick Charlie Stobo for a duck.Harris and emerging batter Ashley Chandrasinghe survived several nervous moments as allrounder Aaron Hardie menaced with the new ball. Chandrasinghe was all at sea before falling for two to seamer David Moody to end his painstaking 49-ball innings.Ashes hopeful Harris, who top-scored with 84 in the first innings, showcased trademark drives before falling for 29 as Victoria wobbled at 3 for 32. But Short, amid a purple patch, dispatched several attractive boundaries to seal Victoria’s place in the final.

KKR’s spinners made life difficult in a chase of 128, but the home team prevailed in the end

Sreshth Shah20-Apr-2023

Delhi Capitals finally earned their first win of IPL 2023, breaking a five-game losing streak, but it did not come easy. Despite chasing only 128 after their best bowling performance of the season, their batters struggled with Kolkata Knight Riders overloading on spin bowling. If it wasn’t for David Warner’s fourth fifty of the season and Axar Patel staying on till the end, it could very well have been 0-6 for the hosts.Even though their batting brought life late into the contest, it was the Capitals bowlers in the first innings who set up the win. Ishant Sharma – playing his first IPL game since May 2021 – took 2 for 19 in four overs, while Anrich Nortje (2 for 20) made batting difficult with his extra pace. Kuldeep Yadav and Axar ran through the middle order by sharing four wickets, while Mukesh Kumar impressed with his new-ball and yorker skills.They ensured Knight Riders’ batters struggled to put in a cohesive performance yet again. Knight Riders made four changes to their playing XI but except for Jason Roy’s 43, their batting lacked direction. While their spinners dug deep, the target was too low in the end. They have now lost four games out of six, three on the trot.Ishant, Nortje, Mukesh sizzle up topThe three pacers took a wicket each in the powerplay. Litton Das, playing his first IPL game, was the first to go trying to pull Mukesh from outside off, and then Venkatesh Iyer fell from the high of a century to the low of a duck when he was caught at slip off a Nortje snorter that was going across the batter.But the best bowler in the powerplay was Ishant, bowling metronomic lines at a high pace to keep the batters in check. His persistence earned him Nitish Rana’s wicket when he failed to clear mid-on in the sixth over.Ishant Sharma finished with figures of 2 for 19•Associated Press

It was a familiar sight for the Knight Riders with another top-order collapse. When Mandeep Singh and Rinku Singh were out to Axar, trying to take the bowler on, the score looked even worse at 64 for 5.Jason, though, battled on. He wasn’t timing it perfectly despite initially looking fluent, and looked to hold one end up. He saw Sunil Narine holing out next before Andre Russell joined him. They picked up singles for two overs before a 15-run Mitchell Marsh over gave Knight Riders some hope of a strong finish. Ishant, meanwhile, left the field with figures of 4-0-19-2 as Capitals brought in Prithvi Shaw as their Impact Player.Kuldeep triggers lower-order clean-upBut Jason perished for 43 in the 15th over to Kuldeep. After failing to clear square leg, he looked annoyed at himself for falling that way. Kuldeep looked delighted in equal measure, getting a wicket against his former side.Next ball, Kuldeep dented Knight Riders further when he had the incoming Impact Player Anukul Roy lbw. That left Knight Riders at 93 for 8, which soon became 96 for 9 with Nortje dismissing Umesh Yadav.Russell farmed the strike thereafter. He tried to deal only in boundaries but his success rate was low. Mukesh delivered yorker after yorker to frustrate Russell in his penultimate over and Nortje did more of the same. Kuldeep also upped his pace to restrain the big hitter.The final over started with Knight Riders at 108 for 9, but Mukesh struggled to nail his yorkers. Russell smacked him for a hat-trick of sixes to give Capitals 128 to chase.David Warner brought up his fourth half-century in six games•Associated Press

Warner stands tall againAs it has been all season, Warner stood at one end while wickets tumbled from the other. Shaw made only 13 while Mitchell Marsh and Phil Salt fell for single digits. That gave Knight Riders a glimmer of hope.But Warner motored along to get his fourth fifty in six games this season, this one his quickest in 33 balls. The small target allowed him to keep playing his shots, and he had hit 11 fours by the time he raised his bat for the half-century.He was especially brutal against Narine, hitting him for four fours in one over, while otherwise being more expressive against the seamers. After Salt was the third man gone, Manish Pandey offered an experienced hand alongside Warner and brought the equation to 35 in 42.Capitals conquer their nervesHowever, the equation soon became 35 off 36 when Varun dismissed Warner for 57 and eked out a maiden. Pandey then tried to hit out, but he became Anukul’s second victim when he failed to clear long-on. The atmosphere turned even more nervy when Rana rattled Aman Khan’s stumps next.But with 15 needed off 18, Capitals remained favourites with four wickets still in the hut. Varun bowled a dream 18th over where Axar just about survived an lbw call and Lalit Yadav escaped a stumping, but the two batters ensured they did not give their wicket away. Rana’s tidy 19th brought the equation to seven off the final over.Rana would have preferred using spin for the 20th over too, but having exhausted all 16 overs of spin available, he turned to the pacer Kulwant Khejroliya. Axar comfortably negated his challenge to finish the game with four balls to spare.

Show-stealing 116* leads reigning champions home with 17 overs to spare and into second place on table

ECB Reporters Network02-Jul-2023

Lauren Winfield-Hill hit a match-winning century as the Northern Diamonds beat South East Stars by seven wickets in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy at Beckenham on Sunday.The England star produced a show-stealing 116 not out as the reigning champions cruised home with 17 overs to spare, leapfrogging the Stars into second place in the table.Earlier Grace Hall took her best senior figures of 4 for 33 and claimed a run out on her competition debut as the Stars were bowled out for 205 in 46 overs. At one point the hosts looked unlikely to reach three figures, but they were rescued by Chloe Hill, who hit 63 from 80 balls and put on 81 for the seventh wicket with Bethan Miles.Both sides were depleted by international call-ups, but it was Winfield-Hill’s release from the Ashes squad that proved pivotal as she passed 50 for the ninth time in this competition since the start of the 2022 season. Chloe Tryon was the Diamonds’ next-highest scorer with 57 not out as the visitors claimed a bonus point win, closing on 209 for 3.Stars chose to bat in blustery conditions but lost Kira Chathli early when she was caught behind off Jessica Woolston for 11.Alexa Stonehouse then became Woolston’s second victim when she fell to a sharp one-handed catch by Winfield-Hill for 9.The Stars’ new overseas player Tazmin Brits looked comfortable until she was lbw to Katie Levick for 17 and Levick struck again when Jemima Spence edged her to Tryon at first slip for 13.Hall, displaying her Malinga-esque action for the first time in the RHFT, took her first wicket when she had Kalea Moore caught behind for a three-ball duck and when Maddie Blinkhorn-Jones was caught and bowled by Emma Marlow for 10 the Stars were on 91 for 6 with only 24.1 overs bowled.Hill, however, was determined to give them something to defend. She passed 50 when she drove Lizzie Scott through mid-on for four and mounted a salvage operation alongside Miles, who hung around for 28 from 45 balls before an eventful 39th over.Hall bowled 11 deliveries, including five wides and went for 16, but crucially took two wickets. Miles was caught at mid on by Phoebe Turner off the first legitimate delivery and Darcie Carter was then bowled for two.In her next over Hall finally brought Hill’s best innings in regional cricket to an end, getting her caught by Turner at mid-wicket, concluding a spell of three wickets in 15 deliveries.Last-wicket duo Priyanazz Chatterji and Danni Gregory took the score past the 200 mark before the latter was run out by Hall, but the total looked low as soon as the visitors started to bat.The Diamonds’ openers had raced to 33 without loss in the fourth when Sterre Kalis stopped halfway down the wicket in pursuit of a single and was run out by Spence for six.Winfield-Hill took a single from Gregory to reach 50 but lost another partner when Marlow was lbw to Carter for 20.Carter claimed her second wicket when Miles took a brilliant one-handed catch at wide mid-on to remove Turner for two but that was as good as it got for the Stars.Tryon came in and bashed 50 from 52 balls, reaching the landmark in the 32nd over with a six back over Stonehouse’s head. Three balls later Winfield-Hill pulled Stonehouse for four through backward square leg to reach three figures and with the scores level she clinched the win when she hit Gregory for four through third.Winfield-Hill, who was practising with the England squad at Edgbaston minutes before their opening T20I against Australia on Saturday evening, said: “When the England team was discussed on Friday I mentioned to [head coach] John Lewis yesterday if I could leave straight after the game, so I came down late last night and got in this morning.”As soon as I knew I wasn’t in the England XI I thought, ‘Where else can I get some cricket?’ and also the discussion has been that I am away Bess Heath’s away, Holly [Armitage] is away [with England A] so you lose both your keepers and your captains. So I made a conscious effort to come down and captain and try to continue our good run.”I got in about half one last night and hit the pillow at about two a.m. I did actually get a few hours sleep and I’m pretty tired now but it’s all in a good cause, isn’t it?”

The win, Zalmi’s second in four games, lifted them to fourth place on the table

AP26-Feb-2024

Rassie van der Dussen’s unbeaten 52-ball 104 went in vain against Peshawar Zalmi as two-time defending champions Lahore Qalandars lost their fifth straight game in the PSL on Sunday. Van der Dussen got to his century in 50 balls, but it wasn’t quite enough as Zalmi won by eight runs with Qalandars chasing for the first time this season.Van der Dussen kept Lahore’s hopes alive in pursuit of Peshawar’s formidable total of 211 for 4 by hitting six sixes and seven fours, but the home team was restricted to 203 for 6.It was the first century in this PSL edition, which van der Dussen reached by pulling Luke Wood for a six over midwicket in the penultimate over. He attacked Zalmi’s quick bowlers, with Naveen-ul-Haq (2 for 50) and Wood (1 for 46) returning expensive figures.Needing 18 off the final over, van der Dussen got the strike for only one ball as Paul Walter kept his nerve and conceded just three runs off the first five balls before Carlos Brathwaite hit a six off the final ball.In the absence of the injured Haris Rauf, Zalmi’s opening pair of Saim Ayub (88) and captain Babar Azam (48) had raised 136 off 86 balls after Qalandars won the toss.Rovman Powell smashed 46 off 20 and hammered young fast bowler Mohammad Imran for 22 in one over. Zalmi’s 211 was the season’s highest total.Qalandars captain Shaheen Shah Afridi chipped in with three late wickets for 33 runs, but got little assistance from Zaman Khan, who ended with none for 48.

“The game is moving forward and so fast these days from the batters, so when you are not on top of your game [as a bowler], it’s hard,” says RCB captain

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Apr-20242:28

Why did RCB open the bowling with Will Jacks?

After losing their fifth game in a row, this time out-hit at the Chinnaswamy as Sunrisers Hyderabad’s smashed a record 287 for 3, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis admitted that such results could take a mental toll.Even though RCB scored an impressive 262 for 7 in response, the runs conceded in the first innings were simply too many to overhaul, and he put it down to a lack of confidence in the bowling group. RCB came into this match having leaked 199 in 15.3 overs against Mumbai Indians in their last outing but started the match with only five bowlers, with Mohammed Siraj on the bench.”It’s tough, we tried quite a few things, a few different things, and they weren’t quite working,” du Plessis said after the match. “So it’s a sign of confidence in the other group. When your confidence is low, there’s nowhere to hide in the game.Related

“The game is moving forward and so fast these days from the batters, so when you are not on top of your game [as a bowler], it’s hard. Obviously, with five bowlers, it’s tough on a wicket like that. We are going to keep trying different things.”Du Plessis said taking a break to reset might be the best thing for his side before their next game on Sunday against Kolkata Knight Riders. As it stands, RCB have very slim qualification chances; even if they win each of their remaining seven games, it may not be enough.”One thing really important is you need to go away and freshen your mind, it’s such a mental game,” he said. “Sometimes when we have a couple of back-to-back defeats, it feels like your mind is going to explode.”It’s important to stay away from it and make sure that we do get back to the next challenge – which is obviously a little bit of an uphill task for us at the moment – but when we do get back to the contest, we show full commitment 100%.”Faf du Plessis made 62•BCCI

‘Proud to see the boys fought tonight’After being stunned into silence by Sunrisers’ assault, the home fans at the Chinnaswamy did get to enjoy their own side putting up the season’s fourth-highest score of 262.It was set up by du Plessis’ 28-ball 62, Virat Kohli’s 20-ball 42 and a 35-ball 83 from Dinesh Karthik, who together took RCB to a score only one short of the franchise’s highest IPL score of 263 for 5 from IPL 2013. Du Plessis said he was most pleased with how the team did not “fall like a deck of cards” in the chase.”Great effort from the team to get closer to the target,” he said. “Similarly from the batting perspective, we need to work on a few areas. There were some errors we need to address as a batting unit, there was a little bit of dip after the powerplay, [that] is something we want to work on. Need to make sure the run rate doesn’t go down and we keep going because the game has evolved and changed with the scores the teams are putting now.”But really proud to see the boys fought tonight and put up their hand and never gave up. In a big chase like this, you often see teams falling like a deck of cards. Great to see the fight tonight. But from a bowling perspective, 30-40 runs too much.”

Everton are believed to be interested in signing a player who is a “massive favourite” of David Moyes in the summer transfer window, a new update has claimed.

Moyes plans summer signings at Everton

The Blues’ Premier League season is starting to peter out a little in terms of important matches, with survival all but secured for another season. Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal was another good result under Moyes, though, with the Scot continuing to do an excellent job during his second stint at Goodison Park.

There will now be lots of focus on possible new signings for Everton this summer, with contact reportedly made with the representatives of SC Freiburg midfielder Merlin Rohl over a move to Merseyside. The 22-year-old has been affected by injuries in 2024/25, but he is a versatile player who could be a long-term signing.

Feyenoord defender David Hancko has also been mentioned as an option for the Blues once the current season reaches its conclusion, following another impressive campaign for the Eredivisie giants.

Lorenzo Lucca has been linked with a move to Everton as well, with the Udinese striker a towering 6 foot 7 inches tall, which is the same height as Peter Crouch. The Italian has scored 10 goals in 25 starts in Serie A this season, also picking up nine yellow cards, highlighting a tenacious side to his game.

Everton fighting West Ham for "very clever" Sunderland star Neil

According to a fresh report from Football Insider, Everton are in the race to sign Sunderland midfielder Dan Neil at the end of the season.

West Ham are thought to be providing competition for the signature of the Black Cats skipper, but the 23-year-old is a “massive favourite” of Moyes.

Sunderland are “bracing themselves for ample bids” from Premier League clubs, assuming the Championship side fail to earn promotion.

Neil may not be a top-flight player currently, which could naturally put some Everton fans off, but he could be a shrewd addition to Moyes’ squad. At 23, the Englishman has already become one of Sunderland’s most important players, captaining them at a young age, and Black Cats manager Regis Le Bris lauded him back in January.

“I think he did well during the first part of the season, but it wasn’t so obvious for the observers maybe, because he was really important in adjusting all the behaviour of his teammates. He’s very clever, very important to adjust the formation and balance the team.”

This season, Neil has started 39 of Sunderland’s 40 Championship matches, outlining his availability, and his quality and energy in midfield could be a real asset for Everton.

Arsenal looking to sign new forwards after Berta announcement

Andrea Berta was recently officially unveiled as the new sporting director at the Emirates Stadium, taking over after Edu Gaspar departed north London at the end of 2024. Talking after sealing a deal, Berta said: “I am thrilled to be joining Arsenal in what is a hugely exciting period for the club.

“I have watched with great interest the way Arsenal has evolved in recent years and I have admired the hard work that has gone into re-establishing the club as a major force in European football with a passionate following around the world.

“The club has great values and a rich history, and I am looking forward to playing my part in shaping a successful future with a great team. I cannot wait to get started in my new role.”

One of his first tasks looks set to be to sign a new striker for Mikel Arteta‘s side, and there have been plenty of attacking names who have been linked with a move to the Gunners ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Arsenal look set to launch an “important” proposal to sign Newcastle United star Alexander Isak, whereas Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres and RB Leipzig star Benjamin Sesko are also on the radar of Berta and co at the Emirates.

More than one forward could be required over the coming months after injuries to the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Havertz, and an update has now emerged over a move to sign Mohamed Amoura, currently on loan at VfL Wolfsburg from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

Arsenal make contact to sign Mohamed Amoura

According to reports in France, relayed by Sport Witness, Arsenal have actually made first contact over a deal to sign Amoura.

It is unclear whether or not the Gunners have approached Amoura and his representatives, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise or Wolfsburg, but Premier League rivals Liverpool and Nottingham Forest have done the same.

Wolfsburg have the option to sign the 24-year-old on a permanent basis at the end of the season for €14m plus €4m bonuses and then could then sell the Algeria international for up to €40m (£33.3m).

Amoura has been compared to Havertz, as per FBref, but is also known for his “exceptional” pace when being linked with a move to Wolves at the end of 2023.
