The pressure is on – Fleming

Big pictureOn most days, having reduced the opposition to 51 for 5, Chennai Super Kings would have backed themselves to canter to a win. Against Kolkata Knight Riders in their opening game of the Champions League T20, however, Super Kings’ early advantage, built up by Ashish Nehra’s strikes, faded against the blitz from Andre Russell and Ryan ten Doeschate.MS Dhoni later put down the loss to the fact that his team did not have enough runs on the board. There were a few close decisions that went against Super Kings, but the top order was also effectively stifled by the Knight Riders’ spin attack. Against Dolphins, the top order will be tested again, this time by the South African franchise’s pacers Kyle Abbott, Craig Alexander and Robbie Frylinck. The trio tied down Perth Scorchers in the Powerplay, giving away just 32 runs in six overs, but they will find themselves faced with a tougher challenge when they run in to bowl against Brendon McCullum and Dwayne Smith, who are part of one of the stronger batting line-ups of the IPL. Super Kings will hope their top order can set a better platform for a big finish.Apart from needing their top orders to fire, both teams also need their bowlers to maintain pressure after a few tight overs and quick wickets. Against Scorchers, Dolphins gave away 49 runs in the five overs following the Powerplay. Super Kings’ spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja struggled against Knight Riders and the five overs they bowled between them cost 54 runs, giving a struggling chase second wind. Against Scorchers, the Dolphins batsmen showed an ability to come back hard at the bowling and it will be important for Super Kings to apply pressure throughout to avoid another surprise charge.The track at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore is known for being well-suited to batting and that trend may continue during Monday’s game as well. The teams will also have to factor in a chance of rain in the evening.Morne van Wyk’s experience and knowledge of Indian conditions is important but the side also needs runs from him at the top•BCCI

Form guideDolphins LWWLW (most recent first, completed matches only)
Chennai Super Kings LLWWLWatch out forAs captain of the side, one of its senior-most batsmen and one half of one of the franchise’s more successful opening partnerships, Morne van Wyk carries the responsibility of being an important player for Dolphins. Equally important for the side is his knowledge of subcontinent conditions gathered from his time with the South Africa team during the 2011 World Cup and during a season of the IPL for Knight Riders.His return to the Super Kings side after having spent most of IPL 2014 sidelined by injury showed why Dwayne Bravo is one of the core members of the team. As a batsman, he switched gears, along with MS Dhoni, to push the total past 150 and with the ball, he sent down a few quiet overs. Bravo did not have a great Caribbean Premier League for Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, but his early form in the Champions League has looked good.Stats and trivia 30 – The number of sixes MS Dhoni has hit in the last over of a T20 innings during 24 innings for India and Chennai Super Kings In the current squad, Robbie Frylinck has taken the most wickets for Dolphins in T20s. In 34 matches, Frylinck has 35 wickets at 22.97. Kyle Abbott has 33 wickets in 32 games. Yusuf Abdulla is the overall leading wicket-taker for Dolphins in T20s.

Shakib signs for Gazi Tank Cricketers

After getting a green signal from the BCB, Shakib Al Hasan has signed for Gazi Tank Cricketers for the 2014-15 Dhaka Premier League season

Shakib Al Hasan’s suspension meant he wasn’t originally in the national pool•AFP

Shakib Al Hasan signed for Gazi Tank Cricketers on Thursday, the second and final day of the 2014-15 Dhaka Premier League players’ transfer window. After some deliberation within the BCB, he was given the green signal to sign for his club of choice like the rest of the players.The resolution brings to an end the three-day debate over whether Shakib would be considered a national pool player in the transfers. As in previous seasons, the BCB had set aside a group of players who had played international cricket this year. Earlier this month, the Dhaka Premier League clubs chose up to three players each from this “national pool” but Shakib at the time was suspended so could not take part in the transfers.On Wednesday, the opening day of the normal transfer window, the tournament’s organising committee, the CCDM, was unsure whether to add Shakib to the pool and had asked the BCB to take a call on the matter. There was talk of having a special lottery to sell Shakib’s services at a price of Tk 40 lakh among clubs who had not selected a national pool player for the season. But it is understood that when Gazi Tank confirmed to the board their advance payment to Shakib months ago, it smoothened the process overnight.”The CEO [Nizamuddin Chowdhury] called me today to say that I can do my transfer like all the other cricketers,” Shakib later told reporters. “This is completely the board’s decision and they would never want something bad for a player. It was a normal decision. Since I was suspended, I wasn’t in the national pool so it created complications. I think it was resolved through discussions.”Apart from Shakib, 133 other cricketers completed transfers during the two-day window. The 2014-15 Dhaka Premier League is scheduled to begin in October.

Começo meteórico e identificação: os momentos marcantes de Erik no Bota

MatériaMais Notícias

Gols, boa relação com os jogadores e com os torcedores e uma doída despedida. Após 46 jogos e 14 gols marcados, Erik se despediu do Botafogo na última sexta-feira para se transferir ao Yokohama Marinos, do Japão. O Glorioso não conseguiu cobrir a proposta salarial feita pela equipe asiática, que assinou com o atacante por empréstimo até 2020.

A transferência de Erik pegou os dirigentes do Botafogo de surpresa. Havia uma cláusula de liberação junto ao Palmeiras, dono dos direitos federativos, se chegasse uma proposta do exterior. O LANCE! relembra pontos destacáveis da passagem do atacante pelo Alvinegro.

ESTREIA

Após uma passagem sem brilhos no Atlético-MG, que havia contratado Erik no início de 2018 por empréstimo junto ao Palmeiras, o Botafogo viu a oportunidade de mercado e negociou com o Verdão uma nova cessão do atacante, que chegou ao Alvinegro em agosto.

O primeiro jogo de Erik pelo Botafogo ocorreu no dia 25 de agosto, contra o Sport, no Estádio Nilton Santos, na 21ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Foi, logo, titular sob o comando de Zé Ricardo e atuou os 90 minutos, ajudando o Alvinegro a conquistar uma vitória por 2 a 0.

PRIMEIRO GOL

O primeiro gol demorou seis jogos para acontecer. No dia 29 de setembro, Erik balançou as redes e foi fundamental para a virada do Botafogo sobre o Vitória, no triunfo pro 4 a 3 no Barradão. Na ocasião, foi um resultado essencial para a equipe comandada por Zé Ricardo, que fugia da zona de rebaixamento.

Antes disso, Erik já se mostrava importante para o funcionamento do Botafogo. Sempre pelo lado direito do campo, o atacante havia contribuído com o passe que garantiu a vitória do Alvinegro sobre o Cruzeiro e, contra o próprio Vitória, participou de três dos quatro gols marcados pelo Alvinegro. Aos poucos, o jogador mostrava sua importância para o clube de General Severiano.

DECISIVO CONTRA O FLAMENGO

A importância de Erik talvez tenha sido confirmada no clássico contra o Flamengo, no dia 10 de novembro. O clássico realizado no Estádio Nilton Santos teve participação essencial do camisa 11, que abriu o placar para o Botafogo, que saiu de campo vitorioso, por 2 a 0.

O duelo evidenciou a principal qualidade de Erik: a velocidade. O primeiro gol do Glorioso nasceu de uma arrancada do atacante, que deixou Réver para trás antes de finalizar para o fundo das redes.

FUNDAMENTAL NO SEGUNDO SEMESTRE

Entre assistências, gols e arrancadas, Erik terminou a última temporada em alta. A contratação do atacante foi essencial para o Botafogo se livrar do risco de rebaixamento e ainda chegar a sonhar com uma vaga na Taça Libertadores, por conta da sequência de resultados positivos no segundo semestre do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Com Erik, o Botafogo ganhou uma opção ofensiva de perigo. A torcida, por sua vez, se ‘apaixonou’ pelo atacante, que se tornou imprescindível na equipe. O camisa 11 havia recuperado o futebol que o consagrara no Goiás, em 2014.

SAÍDA? DESEJO FALOU MAIS ALTO

O tamanho sucesso de Erik no fim de 2018 fez o Palmeiras desejar o retorno do jogador para o elenco principal na atual temporada. O atacante, inclusive, iniciou a pré-temporada com o Verdão, dono dos direitos federativos do atleta.

A vontade de Erik, porém, era retornar ao Rio de Janeiro. E o desejo do atacante foi fundamental para um novo empréstimo envolvendo Botafogo e Palmeiras. Sem envolver nenhum tipo de custo, o atacante, apesar de conversas com Luiz Felipe Scolari e Alexandre Mattos, retornou ao Alvinegro no início de 2019.

BRILHO INTERNACIONAL

Erik conseguiu manter a boa fase de 2018 no início da atual temporada. Tal desempenho, inclusive, foi destacado ainda mais na Copa Sul-Americana. Erik foi fundamental nos confrontos diante do Defensa y Justicia – à época, o vice-líder do Campeonato Argentino.

Na partida realizada no Estádio Nilton Santos, primeiro jogo do duelo, Erik fez, nos minutos finais, o gol da vitória com uma finalização de longa distância. Na Argentina, repetiu a dose para garantir a classificação do Alvinegro. Contra o Sol de América, do Paraguai, na fase seguinte, foram mais dois gols – somados os duelos -, que colocaram o camisa 11 como artilheiro da competição internacional, com quatro tentos.

DESPEDIDA EMOCIONANTE

Apesar de amargar atuações irregulares nas últimas partidas pelo Botafogo, a passagem de Erik pelo Alvinegro é, em termos gerais, muito positiva. Não à toa, a notícia de sua venda surpreendeu a todos dentro do clube, mas o jogador recebeu uma proposta, em termos financeiros, irrecusável. A emoção do camisa 11 em sua despedida explica com precisão como foi esta relação.

– De todos os clubes que eu já passei, esse foi o que eu fui mais feliz até hoje. Queria muito poder retribuir de uma forma melhor ainda, mas sei que Deus tem sempre o melhor para a gente. Eu vou estar torcendo, do fundo do meu coração, por esse clube e todos vocês, vou estar torcendo mesmo. Quando tiver jogo, independente do horário, estarei torcendo por vocês – afirmou, em vídeo divulgado pela “BotafogoTV”

وأضاف: “دوري أساعد اللاعبين والجهاز الفني وأكون حريصًا على عدم وجود أي مشاكل”.

وتطرق للحديث عن رضا سليم، قائلاً: “لاعب كبير وعاد للفريق بعد فترة غياب، توجد مكاسب كبيرة من مباراة الإسماعيلي منها عودة رضا سليم من الإصابة”.

الأهلي كان قد فاز على الإسماعيلي بثلاثة أهداف مقابل هدف، في مباراة الجولة الثالثة بالدوري المصري التي أقيمت اليوم الأحد.

Lancashire have given three of their young players their first professional contracts as Ashley Giles, the new head coach, starts to shape his squad for next season.Haseeb Hameed, Matthew Parkinson and Saqib Mahmood, who are all 17, have joined the full-time staff. Hameed and Mahmood played for England U-19s in the 2014 season while Parkinson, a legspinner, has played for the U-17 side and in August took 6 for 28 in a Lancashire 2nd XI Trophy match against Leicestershire.Hameed scored 112 in that same match but really made his mark during the U-19 series against South Africa when he piled up 389 runs in five matches – the most by any batsman in a youth bilateral one-day series, beating the 387 of Phil Hughes against Pakistan in 2007 – including consecutive scores of 97, 97 and 125.Mahmood joined the Lancashire academy two seasons ago and has since been part of the England development programme. He made his U-19 debut in the second Test against South Africa where he took 3 for 12 in the first innings.”Internal development will be key to our medium and long term sustainability and success,” Giles said. “These young players are the future of Lancashire cricket and I look forward to working closely with them over the coming years.”The academy director, John Stanworth, added: “I am delighted the county have recognised the potential and achievements of these three youngsters and given them the opportunity to develop quickly as full time professionals.”

Ramires treina com elenco e avança por retorno ao Palmeiras

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras fez um treino fechado na manhã desta quinta-feira, e Ramires deu mais um passo para voltar a jogar. Uma das imagens da atividade é dele disputando bola com Vitor Hugo, no gramado da Academia de Futebol – é a primeira atividade dele com o grupo depois de tratar uma lesão no tendão do músculo adutor da coxa direita.

O camisa 18 está em transição entre a parte física e técnica, assim como Luan Silva, que vem de uma cirurgia no joelho, e Henrique Dourado, que há pouco mais de quatro meses fraturou a tíbia. Carlos Eduardo, fazendo atividades físicas depois de contrair caxumba, ainda não foi a campo.

O restante do elenco está à disposição de Luiz Felipe Scolari, incluindo Luiz Adriano e Borja. O reforço trabalha desde o início da semana com o grupo e está regularizado – depende apenas do técnico, portanto, relacioná-lo para o confronto com o Bahia, domingo, no Allianz Parque.

Já o colombiano está reintegrado depois de se recuperar de um entorse no tornozelo esquerdo. Ausência contra o Corinthians, ele pode também voltar a lista de relacionados nesta próxima rodada.

Gustavo Gómez, suspenso, abre espaço para Vitor Hugo ou Edu Dracena jogarem – Antônio Carlos atua pelo lado direito da zaga, vaga ocupada hoje por Luan. O técnico tem mais dois dias de treinos para definir quais os 11 que iniciam o duelo.

Ainda sem vencer no Brasileiro desde a pausa para a Copa América, o Palmeiras é o vice-líder com 28 pontos, a quatro do Santos, primeiro colocado. Cerca de 25 mil ingressos foram vendidos antecipadamente para o confronto com a equipe tricolor.

Desfalque no meio: Cícero leva terceiro cartão e não enfrenta Chape

MatériaMais Notícias

O Botafogo tem um desfalque confirmado para a próxima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O Alvinegro acabou de entrar em campo, neste sábado, pela 15ª rodada – e ser derrotado pelo Corinthians por 2 a 0, em Itaquera – mas já sabe que não poderá contar com Cícero para o duelo diante da Chapecoense, pelo 16º compromisso da competição.

O meio-campista é desfalque confirmado por ter levado o terceiro cartão amarelo diante do Corinthians. Cícero levou os outros dois em duelos contra Palmeiras e Athletico Paranaense pelas, respectivamente, pelas 6ª e 14ª rodadas.

Cícero foi amarelado na Arena Corinthians por uma falta em Pedrinho, aos 32 minutos do segundo tempo. O camisa 38 passou pelo meio-campista com um drible, que ‘revidou’ com a falta, considerada para cartão pelo árbitro Rafael Traci, que apitou o duelo.

Para o duelo contra a Chapecoense, o Botafogo contará com o retorno de João Paulo, que cumpriu suspensão contra o Corinthians. O Glorioso tem 22 pontos no Campeonato Brasileiro e ocupa a nona colocação na tabela. O duelo contra os catarinenses será na próxima segunda-feira, às 20h, no Estádio Nilton Santos.

'I would love SA tour to go ahead' – Gayle

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle said on Sunday that he was hopeful his team’s tour to South Africa would go ahead despite the pay dispute

AFP03-Nov-2014

Chris Gayle: ‘Hopefully the dispute can be resolved and we will play against South Africa’•WICB Media

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle said on Sunday that he was hopeful his team’s tour to South Africa would go ahead despite the pay dispute.West Indies cut short a tour to India last month, refusing to play the last of five ODIs, a Twenty20 match and three Tests over a cash row between players and officials.There have been fears in South Africa that West Indies will not come in December, or that officials would have to send a second-string side shorn of crowd-pullers like Gayle.”Hopefully the dispute can be resolved and we will play against South Africa,” Gayle said as he helped Lions win a South African domestic T20 first-round match in Johannesburg. “The current situation between players and officials in the West Indies is unfortunate, but these disputes do happen occasionally.”Talks are taking place to try and resolve the issue and I would love the South Africa tour to go ahead.”West Indies are scheduled to play three Tests, three T20s and five ODIs during December and January in the only tour South Africa host before the World Cup.Gayle starred with bat and ball as Lions defeated the Durban-based Dolphins by six wickets in the final game of a triple-header at the Wanderers. He took 4 for 36 in a four-over spell, before hitting six fours and two sixes when making 56 off 38 balls.
