A round-up of the action from the second day of the first round of three-day matches in the Emerging Players Tournament

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Aug-2011

An attacking century from Neil Broom gave New Zealand A the lead against Australian Institute of Sport at the Peter Burge Oval in Brisbane. Broom smashed 197 off 187 balls, including 22 fours and 10 sixes, to help his side recover from the loss of two early wickets. He added 81 with opener Brad Wilson before witnessing a wobble as three wickets fell at the other end – Mitchell Starc took two of them – for 13 runs. Doug Bracewell, however, gave him solid company in a 136-run stand. Broom guided his team into the lead before being dismissed by Starc just three short of his double-century. After New Zealand A declared with a lead of 36, AIS scored quickly to reach 180 for 3 at stumps in 40 overs. Glenn Maxwell was unbeaten on 74, off just 60 balls.Shikhar Dhawan was the star for India Emerging Players on the second day against South Africa Emerging Players at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. He smashed 146 out of a team score of 269 for 8 declared, handing India a slender lead 10-run lead. India had lost their first two wickets cheaply overnight, but opener Dhawan built important partnerships with Manoj Tiwary, Sourabh Tiwary and wicketkeeper CM Gautam to steady the innings. The trio didn’t score too many but hung around as Dhawan dominated the bowling, smacking 27 fours his 177-ball knock. South Africa Emerging Players finished the day at 122 for 1, with their captain and first-innings hero Stiaan van Zyl unbeaten on 64.

A potential match between New Zealand and another Full Member team in USA this summer appears more likely to happen in Florida rather than New York after plans to revitalise Floyd Bennett Field have not panned out so far

Peter Della Penna23-May-2011

A potential match between New Zealand and another Full Member team in USA this summer appears more likely to happen in Florida rather than New York after plans to revitalise Floyd Bennett Field have not panned out so far. USA Cricket Association President Gladstone Dainty told ESPNcricinfo in February that a plan had been put in place to install a turf wicket and make other upgrades to the Brooklyn facility so that an international fixture could be staged there in August, but that timeline has been pushed back.”We’re really trying to do something in September,” Dainty told ESPNcricinfo. “Now where? We really wanted it to be in the New York-New Jersey area. I don’t know if it can happen, but we’re still working on it. Right now I’m more sure that we’re going do something than I am that it’s going to be New York or New Jersey.””We actually had an inspection [at Floyd Bennett Field] done by a top cricket official or referee. We are awaiting his report. The initial assessment is that it’s a great location. It will be a great facility but it needs work. We all know that so it depends on how fast we can get that work done.”Multiple sources confirmed over the weekend that ICC Global Development Manager Tim Anderson and ICC Match Referee Jeff Crowe were both recently in New York to meet with USACA officials and have a look at Floyd Bennett Field. A matting wicket is currently used for club matches there and the overall condition of the field is poor, making it unrealistic that it could be revamped by the end of the summer. Obtaining permits to use the ground could also be another obstacle to overcome.Dainty did say though that using New York as a venue did not necessarily hinge on a turf wicket being installed at Floyd Bennett Field. It could depend on the ability of Cricket Holdings America’s members to convince two Full Member boards that playing on an artificial pitch either at Floyd Bennett Field or elsewhere in New York would create more attention and exposure than playing in Florida on a natural turf wicket.”What we’re more concerned about is what type of match it will be,” Dainty said. “I don’t think we can get an official match because I don’t think New York or New Jersey has a facility. So do we do New York or New Jersey and have a match or do we go to Florida where you can have an official match? So those are decisions we have to make.”

Reactions from players immediately after India’s World Cup win in Mumbai

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Apr-2011

“I couldn’t have asked for anything more than this. Winning the World Cup is the proudest moment of my life. Thanks to my team-mates. Without them, nothing would have happened. I couldn’t control my tears of joy.”

“I took a quite few decisions tonight, if we hadn’t won I would have been asked quite a few questions: Why no Ashwin, why Sreesanth, why no Yuvraj, why did I bat ahead?! That pushed me and motivated to do well”

“This is unbelievable. The Under-19 World Cup, then the World Twenty20 but this is the most special. For Sachin, for everyone else.”

“Very proud of everyone, especially Mahela who rose up to the occasion and put up a great hundred. When you look at this Indian team anything less than 350 looks less! They deserved this title, the way they played in front of a great crowd.”

“All credit goes to Sachin Tendulkar. We played for him. Beating Australia and Pakistan and now this, its a dream come true.”

“It means the world to me. I have been part of the three World Cups. This is for the nation. Thank you very much, we love you. This cup is for the people. Love you India!”

“This goes out to all the people of India. This is my first World Cup; I can’t ask for more. Tendulkar has carried the burden of nation for 21 years; It was time we carried him. Chak de India!”

Jimmy Kamande, the Kenya captain, admitted his side was nervous against New Zealand and promised a different approach for the next game

Sriram Veera at the MA Chidambaram Stadium20-Feb-2011It was a sombre press conference. Jimmy Kamande, the Kenya captain, was in the hot seat and a New Zealand journalist couldn’t resist asking the question. “Yesterday, you said you guys will express yourself and play the Kenyan brand of cricket. How does that comment sit now after today’s performance?”To his credit, Kamande didn’t stutter or squirm but responded immediately, “Ya, we didn’t express ourselves. The young boys were nervous. The two young lads who opened were a bit nervous but Collins Obuya was positive and we were gaining momentum but quick wickets in the middle set us back. In the next few games, we will express ourselves. The good thing is that this is done. It’s out of the way. “For what it’s worth, it was out of the way very quickly. There was almost an inner conflict when watching the game and it was visible in the audience, at least in the press box. Some sniggered as the wickets tumbled, some were sympathetically silent and some were condescendingly quiet. A few wondered whether the ICC will get further ammunition to keep the minnows out of the next competition.Kamande didn’t want to get drawn into that debate but said Kenya will try their best to improve and gently suggested that it was the reverse that was in fact the reason for the debacle. “It’s for ICC to decide to play 10 teams or 15 … The disappointing thing is we get to play a Test team once around every two years or so. The more we play against these guys, the better you become. We play Pakistan next. I would be happy as long as we improve each and every game.”Today, perhaps, it was just the nerves. There was also a matter of skill. New Zealand, Hamish Bennett in particular, hurled it fast and full and the Kenya batsmen played around the ball, across the line. There is a huge difference between playing the ball late and being late on the ball. Kenya did the latter and crumbled. “It wasn’t as if the ball was doing much but the lines and lengths were tight and some of our batsmen played too much across the line. We will go back and work on it. Next game, different opposition and it will be a different approach from us.”While Kenya and their fans, and their critics, will wait to see what unfurls in the future, it was time to breathe easy for New Zealand. It was the perfect way to start a tournament for a team that has been stumbling from one disaster to another. “We didn’t expect that the game would get over so quickly,” Vettori said. “It was nice. We are happy with how we performed. We don’t expect all other matches to be this easier. I think bowling full and straight is going to be the key in this part of world. We will keep the same intensity for every game.”Bennett, the wrecker in chief, said he came to know he would be playing after Kyle Mills had an injury problem in the pre-match training session. I just said to myself that I will go straight, try to bowl hard and full to skid off the wicket and catch the pads of batsmen. Coming in as a replacement for the injured Mills in the playing XI, it was a good result for me. Hopefully, I can keep pushing for my selection”.New Zealand will hope the bowlers can hold their nerves against tougher opposition, Kenya that batsmen shed their nervousness quickly. There was evidence, even in this debacle, that they have a couple of batsmen who have the flair to provide some fun moments for their fans. As the tournament tagline says, this is the cup that counts, and it would be a pity if we don’t get to see the Kenyans play with a bit more freedom.

Leeds United are interested in a deal to bring Daichi Kamada to Elland Road in the summer transfer window.

What’s the talk?

That’s according to a report by Football Insider, who claim that a recruitment source has revealed Leeds are plotting a bid for the Eintracht Frankfurt attacking midfielder at the end of the current campaign – if the Whites remain a Premier League side next season.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-leeds-united-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-and-much-more” title=”Read the latest Leeds United news and rumours!”]

The report goes on to state that Victor Orta will be sending one of his scouts to watch the 25-year-old in Frankfurt’s Europa League semi-final second leg fixture against West Ham United on Thursday evening, while Jesse Marsch is already said to be aware of the Japan international from his time in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig.

Marsch would love him

With Leeds already having been linked with moves for the likes of RB Salzburg’s Brenden Aaronson and Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson, it is clear to see that Orta and Marsch are looking to bring a new attacking midfielder to the club this summer.

And, considering how impressive Kamada has been in Germany this season, the 25-year-old would indeed appear to make a fantastic addition to Marsch’s current options in the position.

Indeed, over his 30 Bundesliga appearances this term, the £19.8m-rated forward has been in fine form for Oliver Glasner’s side, scoring four goals, registering two assists and creating four big chances for his teammates, in addition to taking an average of 1.2 shots, 1.0 key passes and completing 0.9 dribbles per game.

These returns have seen the £7.4k-per-week midfielder who has been dubbed like “Messi inside the area” average a SofaScore match rating of 6.87, ranking him as Eintracht’s ninth-best performer in the German top flight.

However, it has been over his 11 Europa League appearances in which Kamada has really caught the eye, with the 16-time capped international scoring five goals – including the winner at the London Stadium – providing one assist and averaging a highly impressive SofaScore match rating of 7.10.

As such, it is clear for all to see that a player of Kamada’s undoubted ability would be a signing Marsch would love to get over the line this summer, leading us to believe that, should Leeds go on to seal their place in the Premier League next season, Orta must do all he can to land the 27-year-old.

AND in other news: Major update emerges on big-money deal at Leeds, it’s devastating news for supporters

According to TottenhamTiers, there has been some transfer news out of Hotspur Way involving club chief Fabio Paratici and Leicester City star Youri Tielemans.

The Lowdown: Midfielder on the cards?

While the Lilywhites have been tipped to target a left-sided central defender as manager Antonio Conte’s top summer priority, as backed by The Athletic, there are also reports midfielders on the agenda.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-newest-updates/” title=”Tottenham newest updates…” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

90min, for example, revealed earlier this week that Tottenham are considering a move for ex-playmaker and fan favourite Christian Eriksen – though it is unclear whether the Dane would be open to returning.

Elsewhere, Conte has apparently requested the signing of Juventus ace and USA international Weston McKennie (La Gazzetta dello Sport via Sport Witness).

These rumours potentially back the club’s intention to improve Spurs’ depth in the middle of the park as news now comes to light involving Foxes star Tielemans.

The Latest: Paratici earmarks ‘cut price’ move…

According to TottenhamTiers, Paratici has personally ‘earmarked’ Tielemans, alongside Eriksen, to ‘potentially join Spurs’ for a ‘cut-price’ fee this summer.

The Belgium international is entering the final year of his King Power Stadium contract and is said to be in ‘high-demand’ with Tottenham set to compete for his signature.

The Verdict: Time to bid?

Tielemans, a proven Premier League playmaker, would inject real creativity into Conte’s midfield, with Man City boss Pep Guardiola even calling the 24-year-old a ‘top, top class player’.

On a reported £120,000-per-week, he wouldn’t exactly break Tottenham’s wage structure, with the only obstacle being just how much Leicester could demand this summer.

The latest reports suggest Tielemans could cost a cut price somewhere in and around the £25 million mark (The Telegraph) due to his contract situation.

This fee suddenly makes his signing far more realistic at Tottenham and we believe it is little surprise Paratici has now earmarked him as a summer target.

Tielemans may well be one to watch out for with the window fast approaching.

Since emerging out of the Championship at the end of the 2017/18 season, Wolves and their owners have not been shy when it comes to spending money on new players to help strengthen their side and push the club forward.

One player that has joined the Midlands club in the past few years that has become an important figure for the team and a successful piece of business as a whole is winger Pedro Neto.

The Portuguese attacker, who has been described as a “sensational” player in the past by Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, joined the Old Gold back in the 2019 summer transfer window from Italian side Lazio in a deal worth a reported fee of £18m.

With a total of 80 appearances under his belt in a Wolves shirt across all competitions, the 21-year-old, who is currently earning a weekly wage of £39k-per-week according to Salary Sport, has racked up ten goals and 11 assists along the way.

Last season saw Neto really come into his own by scoring five goals, providing six assists and earning himself an overall performance rating of 7.11/10, making him the joint-highest rated player for the campaign alongside Adama Traore according to WhoScored.

Not long after making the move to Molineux, Transfermarkt had the attacker’s market value listed as £6.3m, whereas it now stands at £31.5m, showing a massive increase based on what he’s done for the club out on the pitch.

This also shows just what a great investment it was from Wolves to spend a hefty amount of money on such a young player.

Having only just made his return to action as a second-half substitute during Wolves’ recent 2-1 win over Leicester City after being out on the sidelines for a total of 295 days with a knee injury, this will surely be a big boost for the team and their hopes of ending the campaign with a place in Europe for next season, especially if he can get add some goals and assists to his tally before then.

Either way, despite his unfortunate injury, it’s still safe to say that Neto has been a hugely successful signing from the Midlands club.

The Bombay High Court has dismissed MSM Satellite (Singapore) Pte Limited’s petition to prevent World Sport Group from seeking to resolve their IPL media rights dispute through international arbitration

Tariq Engineer11-Aug-2010

The Bombay High Court has dismissed MSM Satellite (Singapore) Pte Limited’s petition asking it to prevent World Sport Group (Mauritius) from seeking to resolve their dispute over the IPL media rights ‘facilitation fee’ through international arbitration.The original agreement between WSG and MSM states that any disputes between the two parties must be settled by an international arbitration under English law conducted by the International Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. However MSM, the official broadcasters of the IPL, opposed the arbitration process and wanted the High Court to rule on the dispute.Justice Roshan Dalvi’s dismissal of the case means the arbitration process can go ahead unimpeded. “The court has taken a very clear stand,” Suhas Tuljapurkar, a lawyer for WSG, told Cricinfo. “If you have agreed to arbitration, you have to go through arbitration.” Cricinfo has learnt that these proceedings are already underway and typically take about a year to complete.The facilitation fee arose out of the restructuring of the television rights deal following the first IPL. WSG India had originally bought the worldwide telecast rights of the IPL for ten years (2008 to 2017) at a cost of over $1 billion. Meanwhile MSM had secured the rights to broadcast in India for five years (2008 to 2012) and had the option of securing the rights for the remaining five years (2013-2017) by paying WSG an option fee of $25 million.However, the board cancelled the original rights deal in 2009 and renegotiated its deal with WSG Mauritius. On its part, MSM did not want to renegotiate with WSG, wanting a direct contract with the board instead. The result was that MSM eventually negotiated a deal with the BCCI for the same price and duration as WSG Mauritius, in lieu of the latter relinquishing its rights.In a statement released by MSM on April 23, 2010, the company stated the payment of the fee to WSG Mauritius was “for the original option fee of $25 million (Rs 115 crores approximately) to extend the rights to years six till 10 and an additional fee over the nine years of the contract of Rs 310 crores ($55 million approximately).”These fees were to compensate WSG Mauritius for returning its rights for IPL season 2 – 10 to BCCI in favour of MSM, and were necessary if MSM was to secure the rights to IPL season 2-10. “The BCCI subsequently argued that the fee was an “improper payment” and restructured the media rights agreement with MSM in June to recover the facilitation fee from WSG. A representative for MSM declined to comment for this story.

ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has said the organisation might send a hand-picked side to Pakistan late next year

Cricinfo staff17-Jul-2010ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has said the organisation might send a hand-picked side to Pakistan late next year to give fans an opportunity to watch international cricket as he is worried the lack of top-level cricket will affect the popularity of the game in the country.”It will always be dependent on the expert advice of the security experts, but we think that perhaps towards the end of next year we must start looking at what the horizon looks like and if it is at all possible [to send a team to Pakistan],” he told .Lorgat said the ICC could not let the status quo continue indefinitely and that he would accompany any team that did go to Pakistan.”We will assess the situation very, very carefully. We know that we can’t leave things as they are if it is at all possible to play in Pakistan,” he said. “I’m not just suggesting a bi-lateral series; it may be an ICC XI. Whether it’s a youth team, an older team, or whatever… I would go with that team as well.”We need to look at it. We shouldn’t just sit back and do nothing. But we certainly would not do something that is not properly calculated.”In another attempt to bolster cricket in Pakistan, the ICC has appointed Mike Brearley and Greg Chappell as ambassadors to support the PCB. The two former Test captains have been tasked with getting the global cricket community to support the PCB and its players at a time when Pakistan is unable to host matches at home.Teams have refused to play in Pakistan since March 2009, when seven Sri Lanka players were injured after gunmen attacked the team bus on its way to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.

Diego Souza foi relacionado pela primeira vez para estar no banco de reservas do São Paulo na partida diante do Novorizontino, no Morumbi. A ideia inicial era não lançar mão do jogador tão cedo, mas com dez minutos do segundo tempo o coro da torcida já pedia a sua entrada e Dorival Júnior atendeu.

O camisa 9 do Tricolor entrou em campo aos 14 minutos da etapa final para tentar furar o difícil bloqueio rival organizado pelo técnico Doriva. Apesar de não ter conseguido ter participação efetiva na mudança do placar, a estreia agradou. Ele também aproveitou para ressaltar que sabe da necessidade de melhora da equipe e se colocou como solução.

– Foi maravilhoso ter estreado. Foi um jogo difícil. O primeiro jogo da equipe considerada principal, todos sabem que temos de melhorar. A gente vem para solucionar o problema, sabe da responsabilidade que é vestir essa camisa, sabe da grandeza que tem o São Paulo e toda vez que entra em uma competição sabe da responsabilidade de vencer, não é novidade – avaliou Diego.

A torcida que já estava insatisfeita antes de a bola rolar, ficou ainda mais irritada com o empate em 0 a 0 diante do Novorizontino e acabou vaiando a equipe na saída do gramado. Recém-chegado e ovacionado nas arquibancadas, Diego Souza entende os protestos e não utilizou o pouco tempo de trabalho para justificar a placar.

– Normal (vaiar), jogando em casa, o torcedor quer ver espetáculo, quer ver resultado e durante todo o jogo eles apoiaram. No final eles tem direito de achar ruim. Temos pouco tempo de trabalho, mas tenho que jogar. Só assim vou ganhar ritmo para render o esperado – finalizou.

O São Paulo volta a campo na próxima quarta-feira, às 21h45, para enfrentar o Mirassol, fora de casa, em partida válida pela 3ª Rodada do Campeonato Paulista 2018.
