Kent batters add 318 for second wicket to pile on the advantage at Wantage Road

ECB Reporters Network26-Jun-2023

Tawanda Muyeye and Daniel-Bell Drummond set batting milestones as Kent dominated on day two of their LV= Insurance County Championship match with hosts Northamptonshire at Wantage Road.Zimbabwean Muyeye cracked a stylish maiden first-class hundred complete with four huge sixes on his way to 179 while the more experienced Bell-Drummond inked in a new career-best of 271 not out, eclipsing his 206 not out against Loughborough University at Canterbury seven years ago. Bell-Drummond’s individual tally set a record for a Kent batsman at Wantage Road, beating Frank Wooley’s 217 back in 1926.The pair added 318 for the second wicket as the visitors piled up 550 for 5 by stumps, a lead of 313.On what was a tough day for a weary-looking Northamptonshire attack, Alex Russell and Ben Sanderson emerged from the onslaught with two wickets apiece.Bell-Drummond set the tone, on-driving the first ball of the day back past the stumps for four, but it wasn’t long before Muyeye took centre-stage.The 22-year-old, who originally arrived on these shores with his mother as an asylum seeker, showed his promise as a schoolboy at Eastbourne where he set records for the number of runs scored (1112) and sixes hit (56) in his first season.Initially with Sussex, he signed for Kent in 2021, scoring 89 against Middlesex at the end of that season as the hosts chased down a target of 375 in the fourth innings.Nevertheless, with England man Zak Crawley at the top of the order, his opportunities have been limited, so this was only his 13th first-class appearance, but there would be nothing unlucky about it.Tawanda Muyeye plays into the off side•Getty Images

Muyeye picked up where he’d left off on day one, using the long levers of his tall slender frame to showcase an elegant technique mixed with power, dismissing a short one from Sanderson to the mid-wicket boundary before despatching long hops from Jack White and Alex Russell to the square leg fence.A single to deep cover took him beyond that previous career-best against Middlesex and there were no nervous 90s either, a huge six over mid-on taking him to the brink of that maiden hundred which duly came minutes later courtesy of another half-tracker pulled to the fence.Off came the helmet amid a joyous celebration from a talented young player who’d played with the exuberance of someone enjoying a Sunday afternoon game in the park with his mates. He celebrated the milestone with a glorious straight six off White which raised the 200-stand.Bell-Drummond was less exuberant, but continued his rich vein of form in June, a 12th four carrying him to three figures in a wicketless first session for the hosts.The pair forged on after the interval, Muyeye plundering a third six, he’d only hit one in first-class cricket before today. The stand moved beyond 300 and the 2nd wicket record against Northamptonshire of 382 set by Sean Dickson and Joe Denly looked in sight before the youngster mishit Russell into the hands of Sanderson at cover.Such was the charm with which he’d played, that his departure took some of the sunshine out of the cricket, Denly and Jack Leaning falling cheaply either side of the second new ball, the latter to a sharply spinning delivery from Rob Keogh which bowled him through the gate.Bell-Drummond though picked up the mantle, a glorious straight drive taking him past his previous Championship-best of 166. His first Championship double hundred complete with 20 fours came soon after tea, and four through mid-wicket off White enabled him to chalk up the new career-best landmark.Jordan Cox kept him company either side of tea with an ebullient 41 in a stand of 106 before being castled by the persevering Sanderson.Bell-Drummond however batted through to stump and a triple century beckons on day three.

Após o trabalho desta manhã, na Academia de Futebol, Mayke concedeu entrevista para a TV oficial do Alviverde e valorizou a proximidade do 100º jogo em Campeonato Brasileiro pelo clube.

– Não sabia que tinha 99 jogos em Brasileiro. É mais uma marca na minha trajetória aqui. Fico feliz demais e vou procurar, como sempre fiz, dar o meu melhor quando tiver oportunidades – disse o lateral.

O camisa 12 ocupa atualmente a oitava posição na lista de atletas com mais jogos em Brasileiro no atual elenco, atrás de Dudu (198), Weverton (126), Luan (118), Gustavo Scarpa (117), Marcos Rocha (109), Raphael Veiga (105) e Zé Rafael (101).

Assim que entrar em campo mais uma vez, Mayke também entrará para o Top 100 de atletas com mais jogos em toda a história do Palmeiras (o lateral soma 184 partidas, logo atrás de Primo, Jorge dos Santos, Roberto Carlos e Ronaldo, todos na 97ª colocação com 185).

Do atual elenco, ele será o 9º a fazer parte da lista. Os outros são Dudu (18º, com 384 jogos), Weverton (47º, com 252), Marcos Rocha (69º, com 220), Gustavo Scarpa (71º, com 218), Raphael Veiga (74º, com 208), Gustavo Gómez (78º, com 203), Zé Rafael (81º, com 201) e Luan (85º, com 196). Mayke também está perto dos 200 jogos.

Desde 2017 no Palmeiras, Mayke e o zagueiro Luan são os mais longevos de forma ininterrupta do atual grupo (Dudu chegou em 2015, mas passou uma temporada nos Emirados Árabes Unidos).

– Fico muito feliz por fazer parte de um clube tão grande e estar há bastante tempo aqui. Sempre conversei com minha família e minha ideia de carreira era não rodar tanto, o que é muito difícil para um jogador. Estou conseguindo e já tem cinco anos que estou aqui. Sou muito feliz e fico contente também por estar fazendo história, que é o mais importante – afirmou o palmeirense,

Presente nos últimos seis jogos do Alviverde (quatro pelo Brasileiro e os dois contra o Atlético-MG pela Libertadores), o camisa 12 comentou também sobre os elogios de Abel Ferreira, que disse contar com os dois melhores laterais-direito do país.

– Tanto o Rocha quanto eu ficamos felizes com os elogios do professor e isso é fruto de muito trabalho. Independentemente de quem esteja em campo, nós damos o nosso melhor para no futuro conseguir nossos objetivos, que são títulos, porque temos muito mais ainda pela frente – argumentou.

Por fim, Mayke falou do Fluminense, próximo adversário do Verdão, que é o atual vice-líder do Campeonato Brasileiro, oito pontos atrás da equipe de Abel Ferreira, que desponta na tabela com 49.

– O Fluminense é uma equipe que trabalha e gosta de ficar muito com a bola, então o professor conseguiu treinar o nosso time com essa semana aberta, que é muito importante no futebol brasileiro. Estamos preparados para ir ao Maracanã, fazer um excelente jogo e, se Deus quiser, trazer mais três pontos – finalizou.

Mayke ostenta sete títulos pelo Verdão: duas Libertadores (2020 e 2021), dois Paulistas (2020 e 2022), um Brasileiro (2018), uma Copa do Brasil (2020) e uma Recopa Sul-Americana (2022).

Batters clinch three-wicket victory in white-knuckled run chase at Headingley

Matt Roller09-Jul-2023

The Ashes are still alive. England’s batters clinched a three-wicket win in a white-knuckled run chase at Headingley, led by Harry Brook’s 75 on his home ground before Chris Woakes and Mark Wood took them across the line.Australia, who would have sealed a first away Ashes win since 2001 with victory, struck regularly on the fourth day to leave England in serious trouble at 171 for 6. Mitchell Starc was the spearhead, taking two wickets either side of lunch – including the middle-order engine room of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow.Brook and Woakes added 59 for the seventh wicket, England’s highest partnership of the match, before Starc’s fifth wicket – Brook top-edging to cover – gave Australia another sniff. But Wood, whose five-wicket haul in the first innings set the game up for England, joined Woakes and iced the run chase.Wood hooked Pat Cummins over fine leg for six, then cleared his front leg to blast Starc through cover and take the requirement down to single figures. With four to win, he survived a top-edged swipe off Starc, Alex Carey unable to cling on after scrambling back towards the boundary rope and diving at full stretch onto his front.Then, with scores tied, Woakes opened the face and scythed Starc through point for four, holding his arms aloft in celebration before embracing Wood. The pair’s all-round exploits over the last four days have kept England alive in the series: they are two-one down heading into the fourth Test at Old Trafford on July 19.There is a nine-day break before the start of that Test, one for which both teams will be grateful after another exhausting, exhilarating day which saw both teams let control of the game slip from their grasp. Australia were behind for much of the game but it took until Brook’s partnership with Woakes for England to assert their dominance on the chase. Even then, there was a twist – but it came late enough for them to scrape home.Mitchell Starc made crucial breakthroughs either side of lunch•AFP/Getty Images

England needed a further 224 runs to win at the start of the fourth day but lost a wicket in the fifth over of the morning: Ben Duckett was smashed on the shin by Starc, falling over to the off side. His review could not save him, with ball-tracking projecting that the ball would have crashed into his leg stump.Unexpectedly, it was Moeen Ali who walked out at No. 3, after Brook had deputised for the injured Ollie Pope in that role in the first innings. The experiment did not last long – Starc ripped out Moeen’s leg stump with a 90mph/144kph rocket – but gave the illusion of extending England’s batting line-up and crucially, allowed Brook to return to No. 5.Related

Crazy things do happen at Headingley and sometimes crazy is good

Joe Root traded boundaries with Zak Crawley either side of drinks but never settled, and a change of ball in the 19th over brought a wicket in the 20th. Crawley crunched Mitchell Marsh through the off side with a trademark cover drive, but Marsh’s next ball was a fraction shorter and drew the outside edge.Brook played positively from the outset, spanking Scott Boland through cover-point for consecutive boundaries, but his stand with Root was a brief one. Cummins dug one in short, angling down the leg side, which Root attempted to pull but gloved through to Alex Carey. It was not Cummins’ best ball but extended his remarkable dominance in his head-to-head battle with Root.Stokes, no stranger to a Headingley run chase, calmly worked his first ball away through the leg side for four but was strangled down the leg side in the second over after lunch, flicking Starc through to Carey to fall for just 13. Starc smiled wryly, exerting his considerable influence on a second successive Test.Bairstow joined Brook, who had reached 42 after a handful of false shots early in his innings, but did not last long. He inside-edged his sixth ball for four, past his leg stump, then chopped his eighth onto his middle stump, beaten by Starc’s movement back into him; after 78 on the opening day of the series, Bairstow has added 63 runs across his next five innings.Jonny Bairstow looks back after dragging a drive onto his stumps•AFP/Getty Images

Australia sensed an opening. They were four wickets away and Woakes hardly exuded calm early on, regularly playing and missing and picking up boundaries via both edges of the bat. But with Cummins reluctant to introduce Todd Murphy – who bowled only two overs on the last day – Australia were reliant on their three main seamers.Brook brought up a 67-ball half-century, his second in successive Tests, but both batters continued to keep Australia’s fielders interested, particularly when facing the short ball. Top-edges looped up tantalisingly without going to hand, and ball regularly beat bat before the drinks break.Brook crunched boundaries away through point off Cummins and the lesser-spotted Murphy, but was rushed by Starc’s short ball and spooned a catch to cover via the top edge, trudging off with 21 runs still required. But It took England only 14 balls to knock them off.Murphy’s brilliant parry on the midwicket boundary denied Woakes a certain boundary, but Wood – fuelled by adrenaline – took on Cummins’ bouncer and swiped him into the Football Stand for six. When Wood crunched Starc through cover, England were close; when Woakes slashed him through point, they had their first Ashes win in four years.

599 plays 599 as honours finish exactly even in Division One relegation clash

ECB Reporters Network13-Jul-2023

Northamptonshire 219 (Zaib 49, Higgins 2-33) and 380 (Whiteman 114, Gay 89) drew with Middlesex 277 (Higgins 64*, Stoneman 51, Keogh 3-52) and 322 for 6 (Robson 126*, Simpson 75) Sam Robson became Middlesex’s first centurion of the season – but it was not quite enough to seal a much-needed LV= Insurance County Championship victory in a breathtaking finish against Northamptonshire.Robson struck 126 not out, sharing a fourth-wicket stand of exactly 150 with John Simpson to boost the home side’s chances of chasing down 323 against their fellow Division One strugglers. Middlesex needed 10 from the final over, bowled by Tom Taylor – and three from the last ball – but Robson could only steer it to mid-on and scrambled back for two, meaning the scores finished level.The resulting draw did little to help either side’s prospects in the battle to avoid relegation, with Northamptonshire staying bottom of the table and Middlesex now 16 points above them in ninth.Northamptonshire’s players took to the field wearing black armbands as a mark of respect for county stalwart Tony Kingston, who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83, having served as their scorer for 32 years up to last season.Surprisingly, the visitors – who were 372 for seven overnight – opted to continue batting, but extended their innings by just 11 deliveries as the last three wickets tumbled for the addition of eight more runs. Tom Helm collected two in three deliveries to finish with three for 75, while Emilio Gay was last man out for 89, sent back attempting to snatch an ambitious single and failing to beat the throw to the bowler’s end.Middlesex gave notice of their intent by promoting white-ball specialist Stephen Eskinazi to open, but the move fell flat as a recurrence of the finger injury he sustained while fielding on the first day forced him to retire just two overs into the chase. With a number of deliveries keeping low, the batting side found it hard to gain traction and they were pegged back even further when Ben Sanderson’s consistent opening spell yielded wickets in successive balls.Mark Stoneman was first to depart, adjudged lbw to one that might have drifted down the leg side – but there could be no dispute about the next, which ripped out Pieter Malan’s off stump. Middlesex might have been three down soon afterwards when Max Holden drove a ball to square leg and non-striker Robson eventually aborted his bid for a single halfway down the pitch, but Sam Whiteman’s throw whistled just over the stumps.Holden began brightly after lunch, cutting Sanderson for two boundaries and looked nicely set, contributing 37 to a partnership of 63 with Robson until off-spinner Rob Keogh castled him with a ball that turned and clipped the bails. Keogh bowled tidily throughout an initial 11-over stint, although Simpson drove him off the back foot for four to raise the Seaxes’ total beyond three figures as he and Robson kept the scoreboard ticking along.Robson inched towards his second half-century of the season by steering Tom Taylor for three, but the required rate had already drifted above five an over by the time Middlesex reached tea at 147 for three.The first seven overs after the interval brought just a single boundary. The Seaxes were still struggling to accelerate when the partnership finally ended, with Luke Procter keeping his balance in front of the rope at long off to take the catch that removed Simpson for 75.Procter also dismissed Ryan Higgins, who miscued to midwicket, but Roland-Jones launched a feisty assault with 34 from just 18 deliveries, including three sixes, to steer his side within 40 of the target.Josh de Caires, with an unbeaten 17, did his best to help Robson haul them across the line, but Sanderson conceded only four from the penultimate over and that proved crucial as Northamptonshire did enough to deny their rivals victory.

كشفت الشرطة الإسبانية عن النتائج الأولية للتحقيقات في حادث مصرع لاعب ليفربول السابق، ديوجو جوتا، وشقيقه أندريه سيلفا، الذي وقع يوم الخميس الماضي.

وتوفى جوتا وشقيقه في حادث سيارة، أسفر عن مصرعهما خلال تواجده في إسبانيا، استعدادًا للعودة إلى إنجلترا للتوجه لمعسكر ليفربول التدريبي.

وبحسب ما ذكرت “سكاي سبورتس”، أسفرت نتائج تحقيقات الشرطة الإسبانية الأولية، أن الحادث وقع بسبب السرعة الزائدة عن الحد المسموح به.

يذكر التقرير أيضًا أنه وفقًا للتحقيقات الجارية، كان جوتا هو من يقود السيارة أثناء وقوع الحادث، وترى أن السيارة تجاوزت الحد الأقصى للسرعة على الطريق السريع بشكل ملحوظ.

البيان صادر عن الحرس المدني في زامورا يوم الثلاثاء، أوضح: “يجري إعداد تقرير الخبراء ووضع اللمسات الأخيرة عليه، ويجري، من بين أمور أخرى، فحص العلامات التي تركتها إحدى عجلات السيارة”.

مضيفًا: “تشير جميع الأدلة حتى الآن إلى أن سائق السيارة المحطمة هو ديوجو جوتا، لم يكتمل تقرير الخبير بعد، ولكن بما أنه يخضع للمراجعة القضائية، فسيتم تقديمه إلى محكمة بويبلا دي سانابريا”.

وأُقيمت جنازة جوتا وشقيقه سيلفا في بلدة جوندومار، بالقرب من بورتو، يوم السبت الماضي، بحضور أفراد أسرته وعدد كبير من لاعبي كرة القدم بين ليفربول ومنتخب البرتغال.

أعطى الألماني هانز فليك، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي برشلونة، الضوء الأخضر للتعاقد مع بديل صفقة نيكو ويليامز نجم أتلتيك بلباو، التي تعثر إتمامها خلال فترة الانقاالات الصيفية الحالية.

وحدد نادي مانشستر يونايتد سعر لاعبه الدولي الإنجليزي، في حال رغبت أندية للتعاقد معه خلال الميركاتو الحالي.

ولعب راشفورد، 17 مباراة مع أستون فيلا الذي انضم له على سبيل الإعارة منذ يناير الماضي، استطاع أن يسجل 4 أهداف وقدم 6 تمريرات حاسمة.

ويعتبر الجناح الإنجليزي خارج حسابات مدربه البرتغالي روبن أموريم، المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بناد مانشستر يونايتد، لذلك أصبح بيعه شيئًا أساسيًا خلال فترة الميركاتو الحالي نظرًا لعدم الاستفادة من خدماته بجانب التخلص من راتبه الكبير.

ويعتبر نادي برشلونة الأبرز في سباق التعاقد مع راشفورد، لتعزيز مركز الجناح في تشكيل الفريق الأول استعدادًا للموسم المقبل ولاستمرار النجاحات التي تحققت بالموسم الماضي والتتويج بالثلاثية المحلية (الدوري وكأس الملك والسوبر).

ووفقًا لصحيفة “آس” الإسبانية، فإن هانز فليك، المدير الفني لـ برشلونة قد أعطى الضوء الأخضر للتعاقد مع ماركوس راشفورد، خلال الميركاتو الحالي بعد فشل التعاقد مع نيكو ويليامز وصعوبة المفاوضات مع ليفربول من أجل لويس دياز.

الصحيفة ذكرت أن إدارة النادي الإسباني لجأت إلى راشفورد نظرًا لأنه أرخص سعرًا من دياز، إذ حدد مان يونايتد 48 مليون يورو لبيع اللاعب خلال فترة الانتقالات الحالية.

يُذكر أن راشفورد، قد ألمح من قبل لرغبته في الانتقال إلى برشلونة واللعب بجانب الإسباني الشاب لامين يامال، واصفًا إياه بأن ما يفعله في كرة القدم صعبًا للغاية نظرًا لبلوغه السابعة عشر من عمره فقط.

Provisional World Cup squad due to be named soon with allrounder reportedly set to be included

Matt Roller15-Aug-2023

Ben Stokes’ mooted return to ODI cricket will be top of the agenda as England’s selectors meet on Tuesday to pick a provisional squad for the upcoming World Cup in India.Matthew Mott, England’s white-ball coach, said in an interview with the that Jos Buttler, their captain, would “lead the way” on communication with Stokes, adding: “We will see if he’s keen. There has not been a clear direction on what he’s going to do yet, but we are still hopeful.”The reported on Monday that Stokes has indicated to England that he is willing to reverse his ODI retirement – which he announced last July – in order to help them defend their 50-over title in October-November, and he is now expected to be named among their provisional squad.England’s selectors meet on Tuesday and will select squads for upcoming T20I and ODI series against New Zealand, and an ODI series against Ireland. They hope to be close to full strength during the New Zealand ODIs, but will use the other series as an opportunity to test their depth. The ECB plan to name squads for the New Zealand series on Wednesday morning.They are not expected to announce their World Cup squad alongside it. The ICC requires teams to select a provisional squad by September 5 and to finalise their squads by September 28, leaving teams scope to make late changes. While England’s final squad will consist of 15 players, along with three travelling reserves, they may follow Australia’s lead in naming an initial 18-man group which they then trim down to 15 names closer to the start of the tournament.If Stokes does return, the main question facing England is whether his inclusion should come at the cost of a spare batter or a spare seamer.All of their main white-ball seamers – including Jofra Archer, who is expected to be named in the provisional squad – have suffered injuries at some stage in the last two years, and picking Stokes alongside only five frontline seam options would be a risk.Stokes has struggled with a chronic left-knee injury and seems unlikely to be relied upon as a bowler in India, but even a part-time role with the ball would add further flexibility to a versatile squad that is likely to include several other allrounders in Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran and Chris Woakes.
