تحدث هيرون ريكاردو المدير الفني للمريخ السوداني، عن مباراة فريقه المقبلة أمام الزمالك ضمن منافسات بطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

ويلتقي الزمالك مع المريخ السوداني عصر الجمعة المقبلة في لقاءات الجولة الثانية من مرحلة المجموعات بالمسابقة القارية.

وقال ريكاردو في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة صدى البلد: “خسرنا أول مباراة مثل الزمالك، وبالتالي مواجهتنا معًا لا تقبل القسمة على إثنين، لن تكون مواجهة سهلة لأنها أمام فريق كبير ولديه تاريخ كبير أيضًا”.

وأكمل: “شاهدت مباراة الزمالك وسموحة، والأبيض دائمًا لديه روح المنافسة، وكل مواجهة لها خصوصيتها، وسنسعى لتحقيق الفوز عليهم، الزمالك فريق كبير ومليء باللاعبين الكبار، ومساعدي درس الفريق جيدًا لكي نحقق الفوز عليهم، وهذه أول مواجهة بيني وبين فيريرا، وهو مدرب قدير”.

وبسؤاله عن الخسارة أمام الترجي وشكوى المريخ، أوضح: “الحكم الرابع لم يركز في تغييرات الترجي على 4 فترات، لا أعرف أين ستذهب الأمور، ورغم ذلك أؤكد أن الترجي فريق قوي جدًا”.

وتابع: “المريخ لم يتجمع منذ 20 يومًا بسبب الانضمام للمنتخب، كنت أتمنى أن نجتمع في وقت مُبكر عن ذلك، لكن لا يوجد وقت للأعذار”.

وبشأن خوض مباريات الفريق في ليبيا؟، أجاب: “بالتأكيد هذا ليس أفضل خيار لنا أن نلعب في ليبيا، بل أن نلعب في السودان، ولكن الإدارة حاليًا تسعى لتطوير الاستاد ليكون جاهزًا في حالة تأهلنا”.

وحول سؤاله عن تعاقد منتخب مصر الأولمبي مع مواطنه ميكالي؟، أجاب: “أهنئ مصر بتواجد مدرب بهذه الكفاءة، هو صديق جيد لي ومدرب كبير وسيقدم الكثير للمنتخب المصري”.

A round-up from the latest action at World Cricket League Division Six in Kuala Lumpur

ESPNcricinfo staff21-Sep-2011

Kuwait notched up their second win, beating Fiji•ICC/Peter Lim

Jersey upset the form book as they clung on for a seven-run victory against tournament leaders Malaysia at Bayuemas Oval to claim their first win of the event. Jersey were defending 171 and Alex Cooke claimed the final wicket when he had Shahrulnizam Yusof lbw with more than seven overs of the chase unused. However, the real hero was Anthony Hawkins-Kay who took 4 for 22 to earn the Man-of-the-Match award. He claimed two early wickets as Malaysia stumbled in their reply and at 76 for 6 their chance appeared to have slipped away.But the lower middle-order showed fight and a 53-run stand between Suresh Navaratnam (37) and Eszrafiq Aziz (25) meant the odds slightly favoured the hosts. That was when Hawkins-Kay swung the game again with two wickets in two overs, yet still it wasn’t over as Malaysia got to within 10 of the target before the final two batsmen fell in seven deliveries.It hadn’t been an easy day for run-scoring throughout and Jersey found themselves 28 for 3 in the 12th over. The key partnership came from Corey Bisson and captain Peter Gough as they added 88 in 28 overs to ensure a competitive total. Malaysia, though, will rue the 12 wides and three no-balls they conceded.”The pitch was helping fast bowling today and I was definitely getting it in the right places to take the wickets,” Hawkins-Kay said. “It was definitely a tough game and Malaysia played really well and pushed us right up to the end. I have to say it does feel fantastic to score our first victory of the tournament, especially after two really close games that resulted in losses for us. Today’s win really is fantastic, let’s hope it keeps coming.”Kuwait were indebted to Abid Mushtaq’s rapid innings as they chased down a Duckworth-Lewis adjusted target of 161 in 29 overs against Fiji at the Kinrara Oval. Mushtaq hit 43 of 24 balls in a first-wicket stand of 73 in less than 10 overs to ensure Kuwait were ahead of the pace after rain had intervened. Iniasi Cakacaka tried his best to keep Fiji alive with 3 for 13 from six overs, but the chase was comfortably completed by Saud Qamar and captain Hisham Mirza. Earlier, Fiji had done well to recover from 38 for 3 as Josefa Rika (55) and Waisake Tukana (50 not out) added 73 but, as is often the case, chasing under D/L proved an advantage.”I tried to play my normal opening game and tried to remain on strike as much as I could to help us make the target,” Mushtaq said. “It was all about us playing a sensible innings since the last few matches which we’ve lost have been because we have not been sensible in our performances.”It’s important now that we continue to bat well and continue to win all our games to come in the tournament. I think Fiji were a good side despite our winning today; they challenged us but now we have to remain focused on winning every game. Every player has to give it his all for the side.”The game between Nigeria and Guernsey was abandoned after 47 overs but Nigeria had produced an impressive recovery from 18 for 5. Lee Savident and Jamie Nussbaumer, yesterday’s Man of the Match, did major damage with the new ball before Olajide Bejide played a fine hand to reach an unbeaten 87 off 106 balls.

It’s a mark of the high standards that England now set that India’s eventual total of 224 felt a few too many but the openers reached 84 without loss

The Report by Andrew McGlashan10-Aug-2011
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTim Bresnan continued his fine form and produced a superb delivery to remove Rahul Dravid•Getty ImagesIt’s a mark of the high standards which England now set that India’s eventual total of 224 felt a few too many after the pace attack had made short work of the top order, but the openers reached 84 without loss to ensure England remained firmly in control at Edgbaston. The visitors slumped to 111 for 7 before MS Dhoni rediscovered his form with a counter-attacking 77 as Stuart Broad and Tim Bresnan shared eight wickets to do the bulk of the damage.Andrew Strauss won his first toss of the series and was happy to insert – as his opposite number had twice done in the series – but though conditions were helpful the pitch was slow and the Indian batsmen mostly aided in their own demise. The only real exception was Rahul Dravid, removed by a wonderful ball from Bresnan moments before lunch, while Virender Sehwag’s return lasted one ball and Sachin Tendulkar fell for 1 as England surged either side of the interval.If it wasn’t for Dhoni this match could well have been over as a contest already, but India still have a huge task to keep the series alive after Strauss and Alastair Cook made a significant dent in the total during the final 23 overs. Strauss reached his first international fifty of the season as the pace bowlers struggled to make an impression and Amit Mishra didn’t pose many problems.England’s quicks, on the other hand, are a handful in most conditions so a well-grassed pitch and cloudy skies just added to the threat. James Anderson wasn’t quite at his best, but Bresnan continued to demonstrate his development as a Test cricketer – and it’s worth remembering his place was only confirmed when Chris Tremlett was ruled out on Tuesday – while Broad’s resurgence shows no sign of abating.Yet it wasn’t perfect from the home side. While Dhoni and Praveen Kumar were adding 84 in 14 overs there was a strange loss of direction in the field. Strauss was very quick to go on the defensive to Dhoni, at one stage with eight fielders on the boundary, and the bowlers diverted from their successful strategy. As with the Broad-Swann stand at Trent Bridge it showed the impact of a positive approach and India were served well by the captain coming out of his shell.Dhoni had taken 16 balls to get off the mark, and India were going nowhere as the main batsman had departed in a rush, but he burst into life with a string of boundaries and the strut so often associated with his batting hinted at returning. His fifty came from 62 balls and included three mighty sixes to various corners of the impressively redeveloped ground.Still, Dhoni’s innings only papered over the ever-expanding cracks in India’s batting. It would have seemed inconceivable at the start of the series that such a strong line-up (even allowing for the missing Sehwag and other injuries) would have failed to pass 300 in five innings. Sehwag’s return couldn’t have been briefer when he failed to lower his hands and gloved Broad’s first delivery to the wicketkeeper. The umpire, Steve Davis, initially said not out and Strauss was swift to call for the DRS, which clearly showed the mark on HotSpot. Sehwag was seemingly carrying the hopes of a nation on his dodgy shoulder, but the odds were always stacked against him having an impact even if he’s one player who often goes against convention.Smart stats

India were dismissed under 300 in the team first innings for the tenth time in Tests since January 2009. Seven of these occasions have come in the last nine innings.

Stuart Broad picked up four or more wickets in an innings for the eighth time in Tests and the third time in his last five innings. In 16 previous innings, he had just one four-wicket haul.

MS Dhoni’s 77 is only his second half-century in 2011. He has now scored 223 runs this year at an average of 20.27.

Virender Sehwag was dismissed off the first ball he faced. It is the fifth time that he has been dismissed off his very first delivery.

The 113 runs added for the eighth and ninth wickets is the fourth-highest aggregate partnership runs for the eighth and ninth wickets for India against England.

Since the Brisbane Test in November 2010, England have bowled out the opposition team in 17 out of 19 innings. The only two times they failed to bowl out the opposition were in rain-affected matches against Sri Lanka.

The half-century opening stand for England is only their second in Tests this year. The previous fifty-plus opening stand came in the Sydney Test in January.

Andrew Strauss’ half-century is his first in nine innings after his 60 in the Sydney Test in January 2011. In eight innings prior to this one, he scored 129 runs at an average of 16.12.

Given the form of England’s pace attack, a grassy pitch and cloudy skies, further wickets seemed there for the taking but India responded solidly. Gautam Gambhir, also returning from injury after the blow to his elbow at Lord’s, had already collected two boundaries in Anderson’s first over and moved along at a pace more akin to Sehwag’s. Dravid, who wasn’t given much of a break despite a return to No. 3, showed the judgement and skill that made him India’s stand-out batsman in the series.However, as India were sensing stability England burst through as Bresnan, who had bowled with nagging accuracy and immediately located the right length for the pitch, was rewarded when Gambhir inside-edged a drive onto leg stump. Tendulkar was greeted with the cheers that have followed him throughout the series and Anderson was recalled immediately to target someone he has removed seven times.This time, though, Anderson had to settle for a helping hand in the wicket when Broad found the outside edge and he held the catch at third slip. It was the third time in the series that Broad had removed Tendulkar, whose 100th hundred is proving elusive, and India’s problems didn’t stop as Dravid received an unplayable leg cutter that took off stump in the final over of the session. England have had to work hard to dislodge Dravid in this series and Bresnan won’t have bowled many better deliveries in his career.Suresh Raina was again unconvincing as the quicks toyed with him before he loosely drove over a delivery from round the wicket, then Laxman joined the list of poor shots when he flicked a pull straight to long leg much as he did at Lord’s. Mishra, who replaced the injured Harbhajan Singh, was batting high at No. 8 and soon edged a drive to give Broad his fourth.The innings was at its low point, and England will have expected to be batting by tea, but India responded with some gusto. Praveen more than played his part with an idiosyncratic innings which included crunching drives and haphazard defence. The partnership was ended when Praveen top edged a pull off Bresnan, but it again needed DRS to confirm the edge after Davis said not out for the second time.Given the ultra-defensive fields set by Strauss it was ironic that Dhoni’s resistance was ended when an edge flew to the one close man – Strauss, himself, at first slip. The innings was ended when Cook, at silly point, managed to cling onto a well-timed punch that lodged in his elbow. When a team is playing confident cricket those are the sorts of things that go their way. One more good day can seal the series and No. 1 spot.

Kenya coach Eldine Baptiste has said that Kenya need to go back to the basics after they suffered a huge 205-run defeat against Pakistan

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Feb-2011Kenya coach Eldine Baptiste has said that Kenya need to go back to the basics after they suffered a huge 205-run defeat against Pakistan in their opening World Cup game in Hambantota on Monday.”We were not up to the mark in all three departments and in cricket whatever you do you have to stick to the basics, and when you play a team like Pakistan or any international side you don’t spurn your good starts.”It’s about being persistent and at the moment we are just not doing that.”Kenya started strongly after Pakistan chose to bat, picking up two wickets within the first seven overs but lost the initiative after that. Kamran Akmal and Younis Khan added 98 runs for the third wicket to steady Pakistan and Misbah-ul Haq and Umar Akmal put on 118 runs at almost nine runs an over to take the game away from Kenya. Kenya also conceded a whopping 46 extras, including 37 wides.”We did show some improvement from the last game against New Zealand as we started well bowling-wise in the first 25 overs, but again we slipped in the middle and were very poor in the end.”Faced with a daunting target of 318, Kenya’s batsmen wilted with only Collins Obuya offering some resistance with 47. None of the other batsmen made more than 20, and five batsmen failed to get off the mark as Kenya were bowled out for 112 in just over 33 overs. However, Baptiste, who took over as the coach in September 2009, was confident Kenya would be able to lift themselves up for their next game against co-hosts Sri Lanka.”On the big stage I know these boys can do that, and I have to drive the confidence in them for the remaining four matches. When I took the job I knew the enormity of it and I know that I have to go and get the 15 guys to revive their self-belief, because you cannot play cricket like that.”Baptiste said Kenya’s poor showing was not a justification of the ICC’s decision to trim the number of teams in the next World Cup in 2015 to 10 from the existing 14.”What is the reality? The reality is that we have played two bad games and that’s easy to say that, but you have to look at the way Holland played.”The Netherlands pushed England hard in their clash in the Nagpur after a hundred from Ryan ten Doeschate powered them to an impressive 292 for 6. England squeezed home by six wickets with just eight balls remaining.”So when we play bad games, it’s no credit, but when we play well they must give credit. Cricket is a funny game and we can stage a comeback, provided we stick to basics,” said Baptiste.Kenya play Sri Lanka in Colombo on March 1.

Put in to bat, Quetta’s batsmen went about laying a solid platform for a challenging score but failed to consolidate on starts. Each of the top seven batsmen reached double-figures, including Taimur Ali who top-scored with 34, but a steady fall of wickets amid some tight bowling restricted Quetta. Bhatti bagged three wickets as Quetta were bowled out for 188. In response, Sharjeel made mince meat out of Quetta’s score, smashing three sixes and 16 fours in his unbeaten 129 to seal victory with almost 14 overs to spare.Three half-centuries set up State Bank of Pakistan’s successful chase of 256 against Karachi Zebras at the National Bank of Pakistan Sports Complex in Karachi. Shoaib Khan jnr, the opener, set the ball rolling with a half-century before he retired hurt, and Adnan Raees and Naved Yasin took on the mantle in in a 114-run third-wicket stand. Yasin was aggressive while Raees scored steadily to help scale what seemed like a challenging total with 28 balls to spare. The fourth-wicket pair of Wajihuddin and Rameez Aziz had struck fifties in helping the Zebras reach 255, but their efforts were in vain as SBP won the battle of the bats.Group B
Lahore Eagles edged a low-scoring contest against Peshawar Panthers at the Lahore City Cricket Association Ground. Offspinner Waqas Aslam combined with seamer Emmad Ali to skittle out Peshawar for 135 as the pair shared seven wickets; only Nawaz Ahmed was able to offer any significant resistance with 34. In response, seamer Taj Ali bagged four wickets to put the Eagles under pressure but captain Intikhab Alam led the reply with 39 and Aamer Hayat guided the team home by two wickets in the 36th over with an unbeaten 20.Khan Research Laboratories, thanks to a 118-run stand between opener SaeedAnwar jnr and Ali Naqvi, had reached 166 for 3 in 36 overs against Abbottabad Falcons at the Gohati Cricket Stadium in Swabi before rain intervened and washed out the remainder of the game.

The allrounder John Hastings could be set for an ODI debut after he was called up to replace his Victoria team-mate James Pattinson in Australia’s squad in India. Pattinson, who was already on tour with the Test side, will fly home due to a back injury that has ended his immediate hopes of joining his brother Darren in the ranks of international cricketers.”During the past week, James has complained of some back stiffness during preparation for the second Test of the VB tour of India in Bangalore,” Australia’s physio Kevin Sims said. “James’ symptoms were consistent with a low back-bone stress injury and scans have confirmed the early stages of a low back stress fracture.”He has therefore been withdrawn from the one-day squad as he will require a period of rest from bowling. He will be closely monitored by Victorian and Cricket Australia medical staff to determine his return to cricket.”The injury is a major blow for Pattinson, 20, who had jumped into Test contention when he was called in to cover for the injured New South Wales fast man Josh Hazlewood in India. However, it has opened the door for Hastings, 24, who was Victoria’s leading wicket taker in all three formats last season.A tall right-arm fast-medium bowler, Hastings is also a powerful striker of the ball in the lower order and has thrived since moving from New South Wales three years ago. The chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said Hastings, who won last summer’s Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year award, was “a very exciting prospect”.”John Hastings performed very well at interstate level last year across all formats of the game,” Hilditch said. “It is disappointing for James Pattinson to suffer an injury at this stage however it does present a great opportunity for John to show his potential at international level prior to selection for the 2010-11 ICC Cricket World Cup on the sub-continent.”Australia play three one-day internationals following the ongoing Test in Bangalore. The series begins on October 17 and the squad is already without several first-choice players after the selectors decided to rest Ricky Ponting, Mitchell Johnson and Shane Watson ahead of their busy summer.

Manchester United are predicted to make huge changes this summer, including the appointment of a new manager and now Fabrizio Romano has made a huge claim on the transfer plans at Old Trafford.

What’s the word?

According to popular transfer insider and journalist Romano, Manchester United are already making plans to sign their next striker, with Richarlison and Darwin Nunez named as two players the club are interested in.

The Italian took to his YouTube channel to make the claim:

“Erik ten Hag knows how important it is to decide who is the perfect striker for Manchester United as soon as possible.

“For example, Darwin Nunez, and Richarlison are already players they have discussed internally.

“The perfect striker will be discussed with ten Hag before jumping into negotiations. Man United will 100% sign a new striker regardless of what happens with Ronaldo.”

Supporters will be excited

Following the shocking 4-0 defeat at Anfield on Tuesday evening, supporters will surely be excited that the wheels are in motion to start making changes and improving the squad with Richarlison and Nunez named as potential candidates.

Richarlison is currently embroiled in a relegation battle at Everton, however, at just 24 years old could be a great signing for Man United to improve the quality in the front three.

The Brazilian striker usually plays on the left wing to accommodate his partnership with Dominic Calvert-Lewin who plays in the centre-forward role at Goodison Park but has proven he can also be effective in his team-mate’s role too following his absence this season through injury.

The Toffees attacker has scored 49 goals in 145 appearances for his current club, but with the right service and guidance could have the potential to become a much more consistent goal threat and would be a good prospect for replacing Marcus Rashford if he was to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season, as per reports.

Nunez is a hugely hot prospect for many Premier League clubs with Liverpool and Arsenal also speculated to be interested in securing his signature this summer following a fantastic season so far from the Benfica striker.

The 22-year-old has scored an impressive 33 goals in 38 appearances for his Portuguese club and has caught the eye of several clubs following his Champions League performances scoring six goals in the competition against Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Ajax.

With that being said, if ten Hag does join the club he will have a challenge on his hands to identify the right players to make an instant impact on the struggling Man United side to ensure next season they have the opportunity to compete for trophies, and signing a new strike force is clearly a promising priority.

O clima esquentou após a sofrida classificação do Atlético-MG, que apenas empatou em 1 a 1 com o Atlético-AC, em Rio Branco-AC, e avançou na Copa do Brasil por conta do regulamento que dá a vaga ao visitante com empate.

O técnico Oswaldo de Oliveira, irritado com comentários do repórter Léo Gomide, da Rádio Inconfidência, durante a entrevista coletiva, exaltou-se até sair correndo atrás do profissional de imprensa, alegando ter ouvido um palavrão ao fim da discussão. O jornalista recuou diante da reação explosiva.

– Caralho é você, oh babaca… Caralho é você! Que porra é essa!? Você está pensando que está falando com quem? Você está pensando que está falando com quem? Vai se f… Babaca! Vai me dizer o que você quer? Vai falar palavrão na sua casa, para a sua família. Para mim, não! – disparou Oswaldo, que foi contido por outras pessoas antes de voltar para frente das câmeras.

Antes da explosão, Oswaldo subiu a voz, alegando que o repórter teria de fazer perguntas e não análises sobre o time durante a entrevista coletiva. Gomide foi interrompido pelo treinador ao fazer a seguinte colocação: “em que pesem logística e situação climática, o que parece é que o Atlético não sabia se atacaria pelos lados, se jogaria no contra-golpe…”.

– Não concordo com você! – interrompeu Oswaldo, impedindo o repórter de completar a pergunta.

– Você sempre vem com perguntinhas mal intencionadas. É verdade. Você está dando opinião. Quem tem de dar opinião sou eu, não você. Não seja tendencioso, colocando palavras na minha boca. Você quer colocar palavras na minha boca… Então faça a pergunta – disse.

Gomide, então, completou. “Por onde o Atlético buscou atacar hoje, mais pelos lados, mais pelo centro? Como procurou se defender?”

– Nós atacamos de todas formas que conseguimos, pelo lado, com bola parada, contra-ataques. Nós criamos vários oportunidades nos dois tempos, o árbitro poderia ter dado dois pênaltis. Quem não tem boa vontade, quer usar o lado pejorativo, faz a pergunta que você fez. Só que você repete sempre a mesma coisa. Eu tenho administrado calmamente, mas é muito difícil. Estamos classificados, rapaz! O Atlético está classificado, isso é positivo! Você não quer perguntar, quer fazer análise. Você faz análise na sua rádio, aqui faz a pergunta e eu respondo – disse Oswaldo, cortando as intervenções do jornalista durante o comentário. Depois disso, o treinador partiu para cima.

O Galo saiu atrás diante do Atlético-AC e reagiu com um gol de Erik, garantindo assim a vaga na segunda fase da Copa do Brasil. A briga repercutiu nas redes sociais e virou um dos assuntos mais comentados da noite no Twitter.
