Chris Hartley’s sixth first-class century and a strong performance from the Queensland bowlers gave the Bulls the upper hand in the battle for the Sheffield Shield. But at the close of the third day at the Gabba, Ed Cowan was still standing firm for Tasmania and Queensland needed another four wickets before they would know what target they would be chasing in the fourth innings.Tasmania were 101 runs in front at stumps, with Cowan on 59 and Luke Butterworth on 11. Jason Krejza, Brendan Drew and Jackson Bird were the batsmen still to come for Tasmania, who were 6 for 136, and if the Tigers could push their advantage up towards 200 their bowlers would have something to defend in their push for back-to-back titles.Cowan had been cautious but if the fast bowlers dropped short he was especially strong when cutting, and he had struck five boundaries. However, there hadn’t been any top-order support for Cowan as the Queensland fast bowlers reduced the Tigers to 4 for 36 before Tom Triffitt (35) combined with Cowan for a stabilising 51-run stand.Steve Magoffin had angled a ball across Steve Cazzulino, who was caught in the slips for 4, and Nick Kruger was also taken in the cordon for a 12-ball duck off the bowling of Ryan Harris. The big wicket came when the Queensland captain James Hopes brought himself on and struck first ball, nipping a ball back in between bat and pad to bowl Ricky Ponting for 6.The edges kept coming as James Faulkner was caught at slip for 3 off Hopes, before the Cowan-Triffitt stand. Triffitt was bowled by Harris, who was impressive in collecting 2 for 35. The final wicket for the day was the batsman Alex Doolan, who was batting down at No.7 due to a back injury and hooked a catch to fine leg off the bowling of Alister McDermott for 15.The day had started well for Tasmania, when Hopes added only four to his overnight score and was lbw to Jackson Bird for 58. Harris was caught behind off Luke Butterworth for 18 but then came the partnership that could yet prove to be the difference, a 97-run stand between Hartley and Magoffin that took Queensland from a shaky position to well past Tasmania’s total.Hartley’s experience at the Gabba showed as he took few risks but latched on to anything full enough to drive through the off side, and his shots from cover to mid-off were outstanding. He also pulled occasionally and struck the ball down the ground and brought up his century from his 151st delivery with a pull for four off Krejza.It was Hartley’s first Shield hundred in two seasons and it came at the perfect time, as the Bulls aim to improve their conversion rate having made six of the past nine Shield finals for just one title. Hartley had excellent support from Magoffin, who didn’t throw his wicket away and made a valuable 31 from 74 balls before he edged behind off Butterworth, who finished with 4 for 54.Bird collected 4 for 56 as he had Cameron Boyce caught behind for a duck and then ended the innings with the wicket of Hartley, who on 111 left a ball that swung back into him and was trapped in front. It was the end of a fine innings, and one that could be the difference in a challenging match for the batsmen.

أرنولد: أغلقت التلفاز لتجنب مشاهدة تتويج مانشستر يونايتد.. وليفربول يحتاج إلى معجزة

وقال أرنولد في تصريحات لصحيفة “تيليجراف” عن مشاهدة مانشستر يونايتد يفوز بأول لقب له منذ عام 2017: “لقد شاهدت المباراة ولكن بمجرد أن كانوا يستعدون لرفع الكأس، أغلقت التلفاز وقلت من المستحيل أن أشاهد ذلك”.

وأضاف لاعب ليفربول : “رؤيتهم (مانشستر يونايتد) يتوجون باللقب تجعل مشاعرك تشتعل بالتأكيد”. 

وتحدث أرنولد عن تراجع ليفربول هذا الموسم، وتغير أهدافه، وأفاد: “أدركت أنه يتعين علينا تغيير أهدافنا قبل مباراة إيفرتون (13 فبراير)، بعد أن خسرنا أمام ولفرهامبتون 3-0”.

Compton in England Lions squad

Nick Compton has been rewarded for his prolific start to the season with a recall to the Lions side

Nick Compton has been rewarded for his prolific start to the season with a recall to the Lions side. Compton has not been involved in the England set-up since early 2007 but, after 685 first-class runs and three centuries in the first few weeks of the 2012 season, he has forced his way back into contention.While Compton might not be the most eye-catching batsman on the county circuit, he has a sound defensive technique, leaves the ball well and has the patience to play long innings. Such qualities are not common among developing top-order batsmen and have provided Compton, who is 29 in June, with a chance to follow his grandfather Denis into the England Test team.Compton is one of a 12-man squad named to face West Indies in a four-day fixture at Northampton commencing Thursday May 10. The squad will be captained by James Taylor, 22, who moved to Nottinghamshire from Leicestershire over the winter, and also includes Samit Patel and nine of the squad that toured Bangladesh or Sri Lanka with England Lions over the winter.The only player in the squad uncapped at Lions level is Kent allrounder Matt Coles, who spent the winter on the Potential England Performance Programme in Loughborough and Chennai before being added to the Lions squad for the final stages of their Sri Lanka tour. With 21 first-class wickets already, Coles is currently the second-highest wicket-taker in the 2012 first-class season. He also recently made his maiden first-class century, an unbeaten 103 against Yorkshire.There is also a recall for Michael Carberry. At 31 years of age, Carberry is relatively old by comparison with recent Lions selections. Back to health and fitness following a blood clot on his lung, he is still seen as a viable alternative for an opening position should injury strike Andrew Strauss or Alastair Cook and could yet add to the odd Test cap he earned in March 2010.Northamptonshire’s Jack Brooks, 27, is also included in a squad that marks an attempt from the selectors to balance a desire to see the best young players with a view to long-term selection, with a need to ensure there are suitable replacements available should injury strike in the shorter term.England Lions squad

James Taylor (Nottinghamshire) (capt); Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire); Jack Brooks (Northamptonshire); Michael Carberry (Hampshire); Matt Coles (Kent); Nick Compton (Somerset); Jade Dernbach (Surrey); Simon Kerrigan (Lancashire); Stuart Meaker (Surrey); Samit Patel (Nottinghamshire); Joe Root (Yorkshire); Ben Stokes (Durham)

The absence of Graeme Onions and Ravi Bopara from the squad, both of whom have been in fine early season form, is a firm indication that the pair are in contention for a place in the 13-man Test squad to take on West Indies on May 17.There is also no place in the Lions squad for Steven Davies – Jonny Bairstow will keep wicket – Varun Chopra or Luke Wells, with Joe Root winning the top-order selection battle.Geoff Miller, the national selector, said: “Many of the players included in this squad have worked hard on our overseas tours and training camps over the winter or have shown good early season form. West Indies will no doubt be challenging opposition and this fixture will present an opportunity for players to show that they are capable of taking the next step and representing England at Test level in the future.”While the absence of Chopra may fuel suggestions that Ashely Giles, the England selector and Warwickshire director of cricket, has used his influence to ensure his county side are not weakened, it is worth noting that Warwickshire do not have a game during the Lions fixture.

Rojas e Bruno Alves desfalcam o São Paulo na sequência do Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Mais uma vez, o técnico Diego Aguirre terá desfalques importantes em uma rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Embora tenha dito que conta com Everton e Bruno Peres para o jogo contra o América-MG, no próximo sábado, o treinador do São Paulo não terá o zagueiro Bruno Alves e o meia-atacante Rojas, ambos suspensos pelo terceiro cartão amarelo.

Titular da zaga tricolor nos últimos cinco jogos da equipe no Campeonato Brasileiro, Bruno Alves levou a advertência do árbitro ainda nos minutos inicias da partida, por falta no atacante Rodrygo. Como já tinha dois cartões na conta, está impossibilitado de entrar em campo no fim de semana.

Sem o zagueiro à disposição, a comissão técnica deve reeditar a dupla formada por Arboleda e Anderson Martins. Recuperado do problema que teve no joelho direito, Rodrigo Caio – que não joga desde o fim de abril – deve ser o reserva imediato no sistema defensivo.

Contratado durante a parada da Copa do Mundo, o equatoriano Joao Rojas desfalca o Tricolor pela primeira vez desde a sua chegada ao clube do Morumbi. O dono da camisa 23 foi punido por reclamação com o trio de arbitragem e ficará de molho na próxima rodada.

Para a vaga de Rojas, no entanto, o São Paulo não conta com muitas opções em seu elenco. Everton Felipe, Shaylon, Brenner e até mesmo os centroavantes Tréllez e Gonzalo Carneiro podem ficar com a posição. A decisão, no entanto, será tomada durante a semana.

Apesar das duas baixas, o Tricolor deve ter três retornos no fim semana. O meia-atacante Everton, que deixou o clássico com o Santos ainda no primeiro tempo alegando dores musculares, não preocupa. O lateral Bruno Peres, que estava no Reffis, deve voltar aos treinos com bola na próxima quarta, e Régis, que cumpriu suspensão, também estará à disposição para o duelo com o América-MG, no Morumbi.

Contra o Bahia, Kieza revê a vítima do último gol pelo Botafogo

MatériaMais Notícias

Se o ataque do Botafogo anda decepcionando, o centroavante Kieza vive um incômodo jejum: a última vez que ele comemorou um gol dele mesmo foi antes da Copa do Mundo. A boa notícia? Foi exatamente contra o rival desta quinta-feira, e duas vezes. A melhor inspiração que ele poderia ter para voltar a balançar as redes depois de nove jogos.

Na verdade, as comemorações do K9 foram discretas. De acordo com o próprio, pela boa passagem que teve entre 2014 e 2015. E realmente foram alguns dos melhores anos da carreira do jogador, hoje com 31 anos. No rival desta noite do Glorioso, foram 35 gols em 72 jogos. Só na segunda temporada, 29 em 50 jogos.

Para a primeira perna de um confronto eliminatório, a expectativa no clube é de que ele retome os bons momentos. Mas o volante Jean brinca com o jejum do companheiro.

– Por mais que o Kieza não faça gols, ele tem feito o papel de segurar os zagueiros. Os rivais se preocupam com ele, Aguirre e Brenner. Dá espaço para quem chega de trás. Lindoso está chegando, dando passe. Então tá bom (risos) – ponderou o meio-campista.

E o adversário seguinte do Glorioso também rende boas recordações a Kieza. O Vitória, clube anterior do jogador, é vítima histórica do camisa 9 alvinegro. Em sete confrontos, cinco gols. Marcou um até quando foi expulso.

Então, o que se quer no Glorioso, é que os próximos rivais sofram os próximos gols de uma nova fase do atacante. Em 34 jogos no ano com a camisa alvinegra, foram oito gols marcados.

Hampshire give Shafayat short-term deal

Hampshire have registered Bilal Shafayat, the former Nottinghamshire batsman, on a short-term deal

ESPNcricinfo staff10-May-2012Hampshire have registered Bilal Shafayat, the former Nottinghamshire batsman, on a short-term deal as they seek to cover the absence of Michael Carberry and Jimmy Adams.Shafayat, who was released by Nottinghamshire in 2010, has been a part of Hampshire’s second XI set-up for the last two seasons, making a double-hundred against Glamorgan and a century against Middlesex in 2011 and 39* then 77 against Essex last week at West End.It means Shafayat, who represented England at Under-19s level in 2001, will be available on a match-by-match basis for selection for the first XI should he be required, although he has no formal contract. He has been added to the squad for the Championship match against Derbyshire.Hampshire’s manager, Giles White, said; “Bilal will provide back-up for our batting line-up over the next few games. Having missed Jimmy Adams and Michael Carberry for different reasons in the last few matches we thought it wise to have some additional strength in depth in case of any further losses.”Bilal has proven a very able cricketer in our second XI as well as for Nottinghamshire so I’m sure he’ll be able to step into the side should he be required.”

كومباني ردًا على جوارديولا: مانشستر سيتي يحتاج لأفضل مدرب في العالم

أوضح النجم السابق لفريق مانشستر سيتي، فينسنت كومباني، موقفه من إمكانية تدريب السكاي بلو، بعدما رشحه الإسباني بيب جوارديولا لتلك المهمة.

وكان جوارديولا قد صرح قبل أسبوع، بأن كومباني سيكون مسؤولًا عن تدريب مانشستر سيتي يومًا ما.

وقال كومباني المدير الفني لفريق بيرنلي، ردًا على ذلك، في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “أعتقد أن مانشستر سيتي يجب أن يكون لديه أفضل مدرب في العالم، هذا ليس أنا”.

وأضاف: “التركيز ينصب فقط على تحسن بيرنلي وسنرى، ربما يظهر كم أنا بعيدًا عن أن أكون ذلك الرجل، لكن في النهاية أعمل بجد قدر المستطاع لأتحسن في كل مرة.”

ويلتقي بيرنلي مع مانشستر سيتي في وقت لاحق من شهر مارس الجاري، في ربع نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي.

وواصل: “مانشستر سيتي لديه أفضل مدرب في العالم اليوم وآمل أن يبقى لمدة 10 سنوات أخرى، إذا لم يكن الأمر كذلك، فيجب أن يكون لديهم أفضل مدرب في العالم بعد بيب”.

وأردف: “من جانبي، أنا متراجع جدًا في الترتيب، لذا لا أفكر في ذلك الأمر لثانية، هدفي هو أنني أتطلع إلى مواجهة مدربين أفضل، أعيش من أجل ذلك”.

واستكمل: “المصدر الأكبر لقوتي هو أنني إذا فشلت، أعود أقوى، هذا الأمر هو الأكثر أهمية بالنسبة لي الآن”.

يُذكر أن كومباني سبق له اللعب في صفوف مانشستر سيتي، على مدار أكثر من عقد، منذ عام 2008.
