Pakistan’s Cricket team, fully infused with fresh blood in the absence of some old stalwarts, collapsed dramatically for a petty score of 104 runs

Col (Retd) Rafi Nasim27-Mar-2001Pakistan’s Cricket team, fully infused with fresh blood in the absence of some old stalwarts, collapsed dramatically for a petty score of 104 runs. The disaster paved a safe passage for the Black Caps’ opening pair of Mathew Bell (89*) and Mark Richardson (64*) to surpass the total, providing New Zealand with the 1st wicket partnership record of 160 runs. It was also the second time in the history of New Zealand cricket that the two batsmen had passed the opponents’ score without the loss of a wicket. This was the situation after the close of play on the 1st day of the 3rd and final Test of the National Bank Series between Pakistan and New Zealand at the WestpacTrust Park, Hamilton.Pakistan took the field with Inzamam-ul-Haq getting his first break as captain of a Test XI in the absence of skipper Moin Khan joining the injured list and likely to remain so for the next 6 weeks. After winning the toss the New Zealand skipper very wisely asked Pakistan to bat on a greenish pitch designed to help the pace bowlers at the start. Daryl Tuffey (4 for 39) and Chris Martin (4 for 52) struck like lightening making short work of Pakistan’s batting.Martin commenced the demolition work by claiming the first 4 wickets in a span of 14 balls without conceding a run. Pakistan thus lost 4 of the top order batsmen in the first 10 overs. With the foundation badly shaken, the batting continued to collapse except for a 6th wicket consolation partnership of 50 runs between Younis Khan (36) and Humayun Farhat (28). The 3rd batsman to reach double figures was Imran Farhat who scored a valuable 24 in the opening stand of 28 runs. Among other players, five of them acquired ducks while two succeeded in using their bats for scoring 5 runs each. A miserable batting performance by any standards.Not taking anything away from the New Zealand pacers, the disaster was almost of Pakistan’s own making. The lack of application and the act of resorting to playing rash and risky shots instead of staying at the crease were major reasons of collapse. It may be all right to take pride in being a bunch of stroke makers but playing test cricket in the style of a one-day international was something for which there is no excuse or pardon. It was hazardous batting right through except for Younis Khan who played with a straight bat.The situation required caution, which the Pakistani players did not bother to exercise. Surprisingly, even seasoned batsmen like Inzamam, Ijaz and Youhana were also swept by the wave of rashness. Unable to read the pace, bounce and movement of the ball correctly, most of the batsmen offered catches behind the stumps or in the slips. It was shocking to see a strong batting line disintegrating and eventually crumbling in only one session of the day giving its opponents all the time to brush them aside. With excellent bowling by Tuffey and Martin who shared 4 wickets each, the black Caps’ gamble of total reliance on pace worked perfectly.The redeeming feature of Pakistan’s innings was the confidence displayed by the Farhat brothers who contributed 50 percent of the total score. The youngsters displayed relatively better control on their nerves than the seniors. Humayun Farhat who made his debut in this test mainly as a wicket-keeper made no serious mistakes behind the stumps. As for Ijaz Ahmed, I attribute his failure to the blunder committed by the selectors in showing him the door and recalling him and then trying to turn him into an opener, which he is basically not. It is not easy for a player to regain his prowess after staying out for a year in a state of agony and anxiety. The authorities perhaps did not realize that he was too good a player to be thrown out.The Black Caps’ prolific opening pair of Mathew Bell and Mark Richardson having already crossed the small summit of 140 runs was in total command of the situation. They literally ruled the day with a flurry of shots all round the wicket taking full advantage of the badly placed field. None of the bowlers troubled them seriously. The spectators, having created a picnic type atmosphere on the lush green slope, gave a thundering applause to Richardson who hoisted his 50 with a mighty six. Bell also played a fabulous innings of 89 not out.Since the pitch was not likely to help the spinners, Pakistan’s hopes rested mainly on Waqar Younis who had demolished the hosts during his last test at this very venue way back in 1993. He along with Wasim Akram skittled out New Zealand for 93 in the 2nd innings, chasing a total of 127 runs to win. Waqar ended the match with a magnificent haul of 9 wickets. Unfortunately, in this match he has not shown any signs of being a destroyer. The bowling friendly pitch at Hamilton was generally considered to be a welcome relief after the dead portable surfaces at Auckland and Christchurch but somehow the Pakistan bowlers could not extract any life out of it.There were, however, two chances that could have given Pakistan a breakthrough. Younis Khan dropped a possible catch in the slips, while the umpire also sternly disallowed a loud appeal against Bell for a catch off Saqlain, at short mid-wicket. The specialists in the commentary box were of the view that the appeal was genuine. Anyway, one can dismiss these incidents as part of the game.The play was called off early on account of bad light. Having scored 160 runs for no loss and leading comfortably by 56 runs, the batsmen at the crease are in full command. With its bowlers making no headway, Pakistan is in a perilous situation. Although it is too early to predict the result, the Black Caps are certainly in an advantageous position to clinch the equalizer.

“Contra o River Plate sensacional (gol de quem?), gol do Juninho, monumental”.

Com o grito acima, os torcedores do Vasco animam as arquibancadas ao redor do mundo. E neste sábado, às 18h15, no Bright House Networks Stadium, em Orlando/FL (EUA), eles gritarão como nunca por reencontrarem o River Plate na disputa do terceiro lugar da Florida Cup.

O site do LANCE! transmite o encontro em tempo real. A partida acontece 19 anos depois do histórico encontro na semifinal da Copa Libertadores de 1998 – o último duelo ocorreu dois anos mais tarde. Na ocasião, o Vasco venceu a ida, em São Januário, por 1 a 0.

Na partida de volta, no Monumental de Núñez lotado, o River Plate saiu na frente. O finalista caminhava para ser definido nos pênaltis, até que aos 37 minutos de jogo, Juninho Pernambucano seguiu a batida em cobrança impecável de falta da intermediária do campo.

O Vasco acabou levantando o troféu da Copa Libertadores, derrotando na final o Barcelona, do Equador – curiosamente, também reencontrou o adversário neste 2017, vencendo por 2 a 1 na estreia na Florida Cup. Um reencontro que ficará na cabeça de todos os torcedores. A esperança é a de que o atual elenco tenha a mesma garra do de 1998 por um futuro melhor.

Retrospecto equilibrado

O retrospecto de confronto entre Vasco e River Plate é bem equilibrado. Em toda a história, as equipes se encontraram em 13 oportunidades. O time de São Januário saiu de campo com a vitória em cinco partidas, enquanto a equipe do Monumental de Núñez venceu outras três. Aconteceram cinco empates. Foram 16 gols marcados pelo clube brasileiro, enquanto os argentinos estufaram as redes em 18 ocasiões. O primeiro duelo aconteceu em 1935 e o último se registrou no ano de 2000.

England were deprived of valuable batting practice by a violent thunderstorm in Matara shortly before tea today

Charlie Austin16-Feb-2001England were deprived of valuable batting practice by a violent thunderstorm in Matara shortly before tea today. Within minutes of bad light stopping play, the outfield was awash and, with no cricket possible for the rest of the day, the crowd were treated to the dubious pleasure of watching three rotund Englishmen playing cricket in the briefest underwear imaginable.Although the bloated supporters may have begged to differ, the focus of attention today remained the fitness of Ashley Giles and, 24 hours after complaining of increased stiffness of his Achilles tendon, it remains unclear whether England will be deprived of their premier spinner in the First Test Match in Galle.The left arm spinner practised gingerly this morning and is expected to bat in the second innings. Dean Conway, the England physiotherapist, refused to rule out the possibility of him bowling in the second innings, but does not expect to be able to make a final decision on his fitness for the Test match until Tuesday.Conway does not believe the injury to be a long-term concern and has thus not recommended that a replacement be called for at the present juncture. This being the case and with just six days remaining until the Galle Test Match, the England management are clearly optimistic that the Warwickshire spinner can bowl through the injury, like he has done on occasion in the past three years.The injury news on Graeme Hick was more positive and Conway expected him to be fully fit in time for the Test. Muttiah Muralitharan meanwhile is receiving treatment twice a day on his groin and although Dav Whatmore said today that, “I would be very surprised if he didn’t play”, the uncertainty is likely to continue until Monday or Tuesday when he returns to the nets.In the 53 overs of play that were possible today, England impressed with a solid batting performance on a pitch that may be crumbling, but is turning very slowly. They ended the day on 174 for two, thanks largely to a battling 74 not out from Michael Atherton.

The Sri Lankan team have great respect for Atherton’s grim determination and unflagging patience and, despite being clean bowled twice in the first practice game of the tour in Moratuwa, he has looked in prime form so far on the tour.Playing with soft hands, the trio of spinners, who bowled the majority of overs today, rarely troubled him and although he hit only four boundaries in his 245-minute innings, he was quick to score whenever they erred.Atherton was well supported by Marcus Trescothick, who scored an authoritative 38 from 85 balls before driving a low catch to Pushpakumara off the left arm spin of Niroshan Banadaratillake. The opening pair added 68 runs for the first wicket.Nasser Hussain looked a more confident player after his 81 in Colombo, but the ball after he had shimmied down the track and clumped Puspakumara to the long on boundary for four, he was caught at mid on as he tried to repeat the shot.Hussain’s wicket proved to be the last of the day as Graham Thorpe clipped and nudged his way to 31 off 88 balls and added 81 runs with Atherton for the third wicket.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly entered talks to sign Marcus Thuram…

What’s the word?

According to RMC Sport journalist Mohamed Bouhafsi, the 23-year-old is set to leave Borussia Monchengladbach this summer and discussions with the Premier League outfit have advanced in recent days.

He tweeted:

“Marcus Thuram will leave Borussia Monchengladbach this summer. The player is in talks with Tottenham. It is a priority of the club. Sources close to the English club explain that the discussions have advanced in recent days.”

It remains to be seen how much the Bundesliga side will command for their first-choice winger but Transfermarkt currently values him at around £31.5m.

Bye-bye Moura

With the future of Lucas Moura up in the air, the North Londoners could already be preparing for life after the Brazilian, who would leave renowned for his come-from-behind hat-trick against Ajax in the Champions League final.

As per Goal.com, the 28-year-old has been subject to interest from Saudi Arabia, with rivals Al Hilal and Al Nassr thought to be considering a move for him in the transfer window.

If the new director of football, Fabio Paratici, wants to find an instant replacement, then perhaps he’ll find it in the Gladbach sensation.

The three-cap France international has enjoyed a phenomenal campaign at Borussia-Park, where he has delivered 11 goals and 12 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions, via Transfermarkt.

[snack-amp-story url= “https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-spurs-news-manager-gossip-transfer-rumours-team-and-injury-updates-and-much-more” title= “Read the latest Spurs news, manager gossip, transfer rumours, team and injury updates and more!”]

That included a brace against Real Madrid, whilst he has also found the net against big league rivals RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.

Thuram is described as a sharpshooter by the official Bundesliga website and they also liken him to Manchester United’s fellow Frenchman, Anthony Martial.

At 6 foot 4, he’s certainly bigger in stature and is a tad bit more stockier than the Premier League marksman but his quick, direct and strong capabilities have made him a left-winger to be feared.

“I believe that Marcus is far from the end of his development. There’s a lot more to come from him,” claimed his former boss Marco Rose. “Marcus is a footballer who benefits greatly from his physique and stature. He’s also a fine technician, who can always deal with situations in tight spaces.”

Thuram has also been described as “fast, robust and dangerous” by sporting director Max Eberl and lauded as someone who is going to have a “great future” by former coach Jean-Louis Gasset.

Paratici must look to make the towering speed demon one of his first signings at the club. He’d be a perfect replacement for Moura, even based on his goal record alone but it’s evident that he’d offer the Premier League side so much more.

Em seu terceiro ano de Palmeiras, Zé Roberto atingirá a marca de 100 jogos pelo clube neste domingo, contra o Botafogo-SP, na estreia do Campeonato Paulista. Aos 42 anos, o longevo camisa 11 não tem sofrido com sinais de idade – titular na campanha do título brasileiro, ele segue no 11 principal agora com Eduardo Baptista no comando. No amistoso contra a Ponte Preta, ele inclusive deu a assistência para o gol de Barrios e foi um dos destaques.

Dono de um preparo físico invejável, Zé fez 51 jogos e sete gols no seu primeiro ano, em 2015, e 47 partidas mais dois gols, em 2016. Desde que foi contratado, o lateral fez contratos com o Verdão de um ano; já renovou duas vezes, a última depois do título nacional, em dezembro, abrindo mão da aposentadoria.

A condição do camisa 11 é motivo de brincadeira entre os próprios jogadores. Nesta pré-temporada, Felipe Melo e Michel Bastos já disseram que Zé Roberto é “um caso a ser estudado”. Ele apenas não atingiu o centésimo jogo pelo Palmeiras no amistoso contra a Ponte Preta, pois no jogo anterior, contra a Chapecoense, foi vetado após um problema estomacal.

Um dos líderes do processo que “resgatou a grandeza” palmeirense, como ele mesmo disse na famosa preleção antes do Estadual de 2015, Zé Roberto é bastante querido pela torcida. Graças ao discurso em que gritava que o “Palmeiras é grande”, passou a ter uma música especial, adaptada dos tempos de Edmundo, e virou um “animal” para a torcida.

A recompensa veio em títulos: dono de uma carreira mais do que premiada, Zé venceu no Palmeiras dois títulos, para ele, inéditos – a Copa do Brasil e o Brasileirão. Agora, busca outro que ainda não tem, a Copa Libertadores.
