Crucial innings from Daniel Vettori and Ross Taylor put the tourists in control
Cricinfo staff08-Aug-2009 Scorecard The New Zealanders took control against Sri Lanka Development XI on the second day of their opening tour match in Colombo. Four New Zealand batsmen scored fifties to help the touring team push for a possible victory on the final day.Resuming from their overnight score of 43 for 1, the New Zealanders lost Tim McIntosh early in the day, but Ross Taylor joined Daniel Flynn to construct a 109-run partnership for the third wicket. A 97-run partnership between Taylor and Jesse Ryder followed by a massive 155-run stand from the unbeaten Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum for the seventh wicket put the game beyond the hosts.The Sri Lankans did pull things back with three quick wickets to reduce the New Zealanders to 258 for 6 at one stage, but lost the advantage to a resolute seventh-wicket partnership.Legspinner Jeewan Mendis was the most successful bowler, picking up four crucial wickets.
According to The Athletic, West Ham United manager David Moyes may have been handed a boost in his pursuit of Burnley defender James Tarkowski.
The Lowdown: West Ham re-join Tarkowski race…
Since Angelo Ogbonna sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the 3-2 win over Liverpool last weekend, West Ham have been tipped to add a new centre-half to their ranks in January.
Indeed, a reliable report from The Evening Standard claimed that Moyes will be backed to sign a central defender as cover for Ogbonna alongside the possible additions of a striker and Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard.
Rob Dickie and Dael Fry, two standout performers in the Championship, have been linked with the Irons, while West Ham have also reignited their interest in Tarkowski. The 28-year-old was subject to two failed Hammers bids in the last few seasons but The Evening Standard reported that he is back on the Londoners’ radar.
Football Insider also believe that Moyes is personally eyeing the Burnley defender, with Tarkowski himself ‘very keen’ to join him.
The Latest: The Athletic share update…
As per The Athletic reporter Andy Jones, Burnley’s mainstay has ‘made his position clear’ in regards to leaving and ‘wants a new challenge’. Tarkowski is also set for an ‘imminent departure’ and only ‘extreme circumstances’ would change this, despite remaining ‘committed to the club’ this season.
The 28-year-old’s current deal expires in 2022, meaning that he can leave as a free agent at the end of this season, and he is currently one of many Burnley players with their long-term futures in question.
The Verdict: Boost for Moyes?
As West Ham eye defensive reinforcements, news that Tarkowski is almost certain to leave Turf Moor could come as a boost for Moyes and co. Depending on developments, the Irons and transfer chief Rob Newman could theoretically put pressure on Burnley to sell at a cheaper rate in January so as not to lose him for nothing next summer.
He would certainly be an astute addition too when looking at Tarkowski’s defensive statistics when compared with West Ham’s current crop.
According to WhoScored, he has averaged more clearances per 90 in the Premier League this season (5.1) than any Hammers player bar summer signing Kurt Zouma (5.3). Furthermore, Tarkowski beats everyone in Moyes’ squad in terms of aerial duels won in that time – dominating his opponents a colossal four times per match (WhoScored).
If West Ham can take advantage of the defender’s desire to leave Lancashire, he would come as a brilliant coup.

Manchester United may keep Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in charge until the end of the season.
That’s according to reliable reporter Samuel Luckhurst of The Manchester Evening News, and, as to be expected, his update has had plenty of Red Devils fans talking.
Solskjaer has been under pressure at Old Trafford following comprehensive home defeats to rivals Liverpool and Manchester City prior to the international break.
Recent reports claimed that Leicester City’s Brendan Rodgers reached a verbal agreement to take over from Solskjaer.
Luckhurst shared a story on Wednesday morning, claiming Solskjaer could remain in charge until the end of the campaign due to a lack of readily available replacements.
He added that Rodgers could be the man to replace Solskjaer, while the United hierarchy are also impressed by Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag and Spain coach Luis Enrique after deciding a change of manager will eventually be required.
United fans react
@utdreport shared the claim on Solskjaer potentially seeing out the 2021/22 campaign on Twitter. This is what these fans had to say in reply, with many not happy at that possibility.

England have left out Kevin Pietersen from their 15-man squad for the seven-ODI series against Australia, which follows the Ashes, and the Champions Trophy in September
Cricinfo staff17-Aug-2009

Kent’s opening batsmen, Joe Denly, has been called up to replace the injured Kevin Pietersen in England’s one-day squad for their seven ODI series against Australia, plus the subsequent Champions Trophy in South Africa. Denly, 23, is the only uncapped player in a 15-man squad, and will also travel to Old Trafford for the two Twenty20 internationals on August 30 and September 1.”Joe Denly has impressed the selectors for a while with some excellent performances in one-day cricket and with Kevin Pietersen unavailable through injury, this is an excellent opportunity for Joe to step up to the next level and show what he is capable of,” said the ECB’s national selector, Geoff Miller, who added that the selectors had kept faith with the bulk of the squad which was successful in the ODIs against West Indies earlier in the summer.”It is a dream come true for me,” said Denly, who averaged 51.85 in the Friends Provident Trophy this season, and who made 66 and 36 for England Lions against the Australians at Worcester in July. “As a youngster, I dreamt about representing Kent and now I have the honour of hopefully playing for my country. I’ve always had ambitions of playing for England; whether it be at one-day or Test match level. I feel very proud and hope to forge a long international career.”I won’t look to change too much. I’m confident that I’ve got the game to step up to the next level and I cannot wait to represent England. I’ve played for the Lions but stepping up into the main side is great for me. I did pretty well against the Aussies for the Lions and will hope to carry that on for the rest of the summer.”Hopefully I will get a go in a few of the one-dayers and Twenty20 matches and you never know where that will lead. If I continue my form in the County Championship then hopefully they will consider me, for Test match cricket too, although I realise that could be a while off as there are a few players ahead of me. I just need to keep performing for Kent and now hopefully for England too. I cannot wait to link-up with the group.”Andrew Strauss will once again lead England in their major ODI campaigns, although not in the two Twenty20s where Paul Collingwood continues in the role he assumed for the ICC World Twenty20 in June. Collingwood will also take charge for the one-off ODI against Ireland in Belfast on August 27 that serves as a warm-up for the main events that follow.”Andrew Strauss has led the side extremely well in both forms of cricket this summer,” said Miller, “but the selectors felt it would be beneficial for him to have a short break from international cricket following the conclusion of the npower Ashes Test series and Paul Collingwood will lead the side in Ireland and in The NatWest International Twenty20s. “As expected Ravi Bopara, who was axed from England’s Test squad for Thursday’s Ashes decider, is included for all formats, alongside Andrew Flintoff, who will retire from Test cricket this week, but who will remain available to England in the limited-overs format for the foreseeable. Jonathan Trott, Bopara’s replacement in the Test side, has been named in the squad for the two T20Is at Old Trafford, having previously played two such matches for England in 2007.Luke Wright and Adil Rashid, who impressed for England during the World Twenty20, have been rewarded with places in the ODI squads, but four other squad members from that tournament have not been retained. Denly’s Kent captain and opening partner, Robert Key, is back on the sidelines, along with Essex’s specialist wicketkeeper, James Foster, who has been superseded by an in-form Matt Prior, and Dimitri Mascarenhas, who has been discarded from all formats. Graham Napier, who was selected in the World Twenty20 squad but did not play a match, is also out of the reckoning.Squad for ODIs v Australia & Champions Trophy: Andrew Strauss (capt), James Anderson, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Paul Collingwood, Joe Denly, Andrew Flintoff, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior (wk), Adil Rashid, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright.Squad for ODI v Ireland: Paul Collingwood (capt), James Anderson, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Joe Denly, Andrew Flintoff, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior (wk), Adil Rashid, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Luke Wright.Squad for Twenty20 internationals v Australia: Paul Collingwood (capt), James Anderson, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Joe Denly, Andrew Flintoff, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior (wk), Adil Rashid, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Jonathan Trott, Luke Wright.
Visitante indigesto. Jogadores rápidos pelas pontas. Time do contra-ataque. Goleiro incontestável. Todos esses elogios poderiam ser para o Santos, mas também podem ser atribuídos ao Barcelona de Guayaquil, adversário do Peixe no Equador, nesta quarta-feira, pelo jogo de ida das quartas de final da Libertadores.
Enfrentar o “Ídolo do Equador” será para o Alvinegro como se olhar em um espelho. Se o Santos tem Vanderlei, para muitos o melhor jogador do time na temporada, o Barcelona tem Maximo Banguera, ídolo do clube e goleiro titular da seleção equatoriana.
No clube desde 2009, Banguera levou nove gols na Libertadores, quatro a mais do que Vanderlei, que estreou na competição apenas na terceira rodada, pois se recuperava de lesão.
Quando o assunto é contra-ataque, o Peixe e Barcelona pouco se diferem. Como Copete e Bruno Henrique, um canhoto na direita e um destro na esquerda, o Ídolo do Equadortem Ayoví na esquerda e Caicedo na direita, os responsáveis pelas transições em velocidade para o ataque.
Na armação das jogadas, o técnico Guillermo Almada conta com Damián Diaz. E criação é um assunto sério para o uruguaio, que elogiou Lucas Lima em suas entrevistas. O camisa 10 santista é o líder de assistências da Libertadores com seis passes para gol.
O time fechado e rápido ao mesmo tempo não encanta no Campeonato Equatoriano, no qual figura a nona posição pois joga com uma equipe alternativa e prioriza a Libertadores, na qual venceu fora de casa pelo mesmo número de vezes que triunfou em casa: duas vezes em cada.
A fama de bom visitante incomoda os santistas, que vão decidir em casa.
-Assisti alguns jogos do Barcelona. O que vi, é que o time é rápido, gosta de jogar no contra-ataque. Quando jogaram em casa, tiveram mais dificuldades, porque tem que propor o jogo. Quando eles têm espaço para contra-atacar, levaram mais perigo. A principal característica é a velocidade, tem três ou quatro muito rápidos. Não podemos dar campo porque eles exploram os espaços – comentou Thiago Ribeiro, atacante que será titular na quarta-feira.
Em 2017 o Barcelona de Guayaquil já deixou para trás três campeões da Libertadores, foram eles o Atlético Nacional (COL), o Estudiantes (ARG) e o Palmeiras, eliminado nas oitavas de final no Allianz Parque.
O técnico Levir Culpi recebeu do departamento de análise de desempenho imagens dos últimos dez jogos do adversário e passará um vídeo aos jogadores no dia da partida.

Graeme Swann spun Australia to a standstill in a superb spell of 10-1-28-5, after Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke had rebuilt the innings in a second-wicket stand of 79
The Bulletin by Andrew Miller20-Sep-2009 England 177 for 6 (Denly 53) beat Australia 176 (Ponting 53, Swann 5-28) by four wickets Scorecard and ball-by-ball details How they were outGraeme Swann’s offspin was the difference between the sides•Getty Images
England’s desire to avoid humiliation proved a greater incentive (but only just) than Australia’s desire to complete an arduous tour with an unprecedented 7-0 whitewash, as Graeme Swann’s maiden five-wicket haul proved the difference between the sides in the final match of the series at Chester-le-Street.England being England, they still managed to make a meal of their chase of 177 to win, slumping from 106 for 0 to 141 for 5 before Paul Collingwood dragged them kicking and screaming to a spectacularly inglorious victory. Coming on the last official day of summer, and comprehensively overshadowed by a pulsating Manchester Derby in the Premier League, this was quite simply a contest too far. Tomorrow the teams jet off to South Africa for the Champions Trophy, and on the evidence of the past three weeks, you might as well send England straight back home again.Even better, you might as well leave half the players behind in the first place, specifically England’s guileless middle-order who, for the umpteenth time this summer, treated the loss of Andrew Strauss’s wicket with the same grief and disorientation that a clutch of baby chicks might greet the devouring of their mother by a fox. Strauss made 47 from 74 balls, a continuation of his unfulfilled form in this series. He had the game at his mercy until for some strange reason – perhaps it was boredom, perhaps it was experimentation – he chose to reverse-sweep Nathan Hauritz, and chipped a looping catch to Ben Hilfenhaus in the gully.And then the panic set in. Joe Denly had batted with poise and confidence to bring up his second half-century in ODI cricket, but the arrival of Ravi Bopara reduced his game-brain to mush, as between them the two batsmen decided to take on the bullet arm of Ricky Ponting in the covers, and lost. Bopara then fell lbw to Shane Watson for 13, Owais Shah snicked a drive off James Hopes for 7, before Eoin Morgan completed a collapse of 4 for 11 in 34 balls by edging a cut off Brett Lee for 2.Twenty-one runs later, Matt Prior drove Ben Hilfenhaus to Ponting at short cover for 11, but Collingwood, on his home ground, finished his Australian summer as he had begun it in vastly different circumstances back at Cardiff in July, clinging on with the tail for company to swipe the momentum from Australia’s grasp. That’ll show ’em.In fairness, England did just about deserve their victory, because they possessed in Swann the day’s stand-out performer. He came into the attack in the 25th over of Australia’s innings, with Ponting and Michael Clarke sitting pretty in a third-wicket stand of 79, and produced a spell of hand-grenade uncertainty, finding flight, loop and bite to unsettle a previously serene batting line-up. His first wicket was also the most crucial, that of Ponting, whose 53 from 67 balls had enabled Australia to recover from a shaky 17 for 2, but who fell to Swann’s fifth ball of the innings, as he was deceived in the flight and plopped an attempted cover-drive into the hands of Collingwood at midwicket.Three overs later, and Clarke, the sheet-anchor of Australia’s innings, was also on his way back, courtesy of a badly-judged run to Morgan at short fine leg. His 38 from 81 balls was a broken promise of a performance – given that sort of a batting tempo, he really couldn’t afford not to push onto a big score – but at 110 for 4, the innings was clearly wobbling. Five balls later and it really was in trouble as Cameron White, a centurion at the Rose Bowl, was bowled through the gate by a beautiful turning offspinner from Swann.Though Michael Hussey remained among the specialist batsmen, the way into the tail had been opened, especially with Swann settling into a magnificent rhythm. Hopes was the next to go, caught by the bowler himself as he looped a leading edge towards mid-on, before Mitchell Johnson and Lee fell in the space of three deliveries – Johnson to another leading-edge, this time to James Anderson in the covers, and Lee bowled through the gate to complete Swann’s first five-wicket haul in ODIs.Having committed the cardinal sin of failing to play out their full 50 overs, Australia then started grimly with the ball, as Lee conceded nine runs, including four byes, from his opening over, before Hilfenhaus – given his first outing of the series at Nathan Bracken’s expense – effectively relegated himself to the bench for the Champions Trophy with a shocking first spell that included four front-foot no-balls and a beamer from a free hit. Fittingly he returned at the end of the innings to produce another over-step with the scores level, to finish the tour with the dampest of squibs.Denly took 12 deliveries to get off the mark, but once he had done so he grew in confidence, as did Strauss, who has not lacked for that aspect of his game at any stage of a superb year. Collectively, however, England are a bereft unit, this pyrrhic victory notwithstanding. An ICC 50-over world event comes around every two years, and each and every time, England manage to embark on their campaign with their hopes and expectations as low as they could possibly be. That’s quite a feat, it has to be said.
Uma das surpresas da Série B deste ano é o Oeste. A equipe comandada por Roberto Cavalo está embalada na competição. Nas última seis rodadas, o Rubrão conseguiu quatro vitórias e dois empates, se consolidando na briga pelo acesso a Série A do Brasileirão no ano que vem.
– Acho que o diferencial do nosso time está sendo a união dentro de campo, todos estão correndo muito um pelo outro, e estamos sendo eficientes quando temos a oportunidade de fazer o gol, encaramos cada jogo como uma final para Série A – disse o meia Danielzinho.
Danielzinho é um dos destaques do time na campanha. Emprestado pelo Fluminense até o fim do ano. Além dele, o elenco conta com outros rostos que já passaram por grandes clubes, como os atacantes Alexandro (Botafogo) e Robert (PSV, Palmeiras e Cruzeiro), o meia Mazinho (Palmeiras), o volante Wilson Mathias (Internacional) e o zagueiro Leandro Amaro (Cruzeiro e Palmeiras).
– Com certeza, são jogadores que já viveram muita coisa no futebol, já participaram de decisões de campeonato, então nessas horas eles passam bastantes coisas importantes pro grupo- explica o jogador.
O próximo compromisso não será nada fácil. A equipe de Itápolis vai até Belo Horizonte encarar o América-MG, um dos líderes da competição. Para Danielzinho, apesar de o jogo ser contra um dos times mais fortes da Série B, a preparação será a mesma:
– Preparação está como nos outros jogos, com muita dedicação nos treinamentos pra errarmos o menos possível na hora do jogo, e quem sabe surpreendermos a todos e sairmos de lá com mais uma vitória.

Newcastle United have been dealt a blow in their bid to appoint Ramon Planes as their director of football.
What’s the latest?
According to reports from Spain (via Chronicle Live), Newcastle are one of a number of clubs interested in making a move for the former Barcelona technical secretary, who is thought to be interested in taking up a role away from Spain for his next job.
However, in a further twist to the story, 90min has claimed that AS Roma have now initiated talks with the 54-year-old, while Bayer Leverkusen are also believed to be interested in the Spaniard.
Fans will be furious
With the January transfer window edging closer with each passing day, the fact that Newcastle’s new owners appear no closer to appointing a director of football is sure to have left fans of the club furious.
Indeed, the Magpies have been linked with a host of names regarding the position, with Michael Emenalo, Marc Overmars, Michael Edwards, Brian Marwood, Paul Mitchell and Luis Campos all being touted as potential targets for the club.
However, in recent comments cited by Chronicle Live, Mark Douglas suggested that the club are no closer to making an appointment, with the journalist stating: “It may not be the news people want to hear, but I think there’s still a fair bit of work to be done on getting the power lines sorted behind the scenes.
“Some elements of the consortium would go one way and others another way. Michael Emenalo has been mentioned and has several rounds of talks with the hierarchy but it’s getting those things decided.
“I heard a few weeks that they hadn’t decided fully on the structure so that is ponderous in my opinion and they need to get it all sorted before January. It’s something they do need to resolve fairly quickly.”
As such, the news that PIF look set to miss out on yet another target for the role in Ramon Planes, something that it would appear is due to their inability to agree on the club’s overall direction, will undoubtedly be a huge cause for concern amongst fans, who will certainly be hoping the club can make an appointment well ahead of the turn of the year.
After watching talks with Unai Emery fall flat, fans should be concerned over the strength of Amanda Staveley and co’s negotiation skills.
