So Australia has a dossier on the South Africa team. So what? One of the trends of 21st century international cricket is that battles between nations now contain so few elements of the unknown. It should not be forgotten that these two sides played each other over a pair of uproarious Test matches only a year ago in Cape Town and Johannesburg, the series shared 1-1. Between then and now Australian and South African players have shared dressing rooms at the IPL and the Champions League, opposed each other again at the World Twenty20 and tried to prepare as best they can for a Test series with only one warm-up fixture in most cases.But the lack of secrets to be divulged ahead of the first Test does not detract from the prospect of another meeting between two teams to have produced some of the most memorable Test encounters of recent times. South Africa’s first visit to the Gabba in 49 years offers the prospect of plenty that is hair-raising, mainly for batsmen up against six of the world’s best fast bowlers, but spectators too. Graeme Smith’s side is settled and well grooved, their XI set in near enough to stone from the moment their plane touched down in Sydney last week. Smith himself is fired by the desire to ensure South Africa’s hold on the ICC’s top spot is not as fleeting this time around as it had been in 2009.Australia, meanwhile, seek further proof of their rejuvenation. The Test team has not played together since April, and they may be forgiven for blinking just as much as the rest of the world at the fact they have the chance to unseat South Africa from their perch atop the rankings. The fact they have a chance of doing so is the best indicator of how far the team has developed under Michael Clarke’s captaincy since the 2011 tour of Sri Lanka, as over that period the team has won three series, drawn two and shown the importance of incisive bowling to cover for a top six that on paper cannot match South Africa’s. Line these two sides up and the visitors look to have a clear advantage. But contests between these teams have never been decided that way.Form guide(Most recent first)
Australia WDWWW
South Africa WDWDWIn the spotlightCalled on to take the gloves in unfortunate circumstances in England, AB de Villiers’ back grew stiffer with each match, and his batting contributions were handy rather than dominant. He has had more time to rest and prepare for taking the gloves in this series, and will be eager to prove that as wicketkeeper he can still make the kinds of scores that marked him as one of the world’s best and most dangerous batsmen.David Warner has escaped much of the scrutiny attached to his opening partner Ed Cowan, but with only one half century in his past eight innings needs to prove his hyper aggressive methods can work consistently at Test level. West Indies and England both did well against Warner earlier this year by pursuing a rigid line and length angled across him towards the slips, while the opener’s tendency to get involved in verbal confrontations will also have been noted by South Africa. Shane Watson’s injury leaves Warner the most senior batsman in the Australian top three.Team newsBen Hilfenhaus, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon are duelling for two spots. Hilfenhaus led the attack with Peter Siddle last year but has only played one first-class match since April. Starc has been a dominant Twenty20 bowler but is still coming to grips with the red ball. Lyon has few wickets behind him entering the Test and forecast Gabba rain may keep the pitch fresh and the pace bowlers dangerous throughout. Ricky Ponting has shrugged off a hamstring niggle.Australia (possible): 1 Ed Cowan, 2 David Warner, 3 Rob Quiney, 4 Ricky Ponting, 5 Michael Clarke (capt), 6 Michael Hussey, 7 Matthew Wade (wk), 8 Peter Siddle, 9 James Pattinson, 10 Ben Hilfenhaus/Mitchell Starc, 11 Nathan Lyon.South Africa’s team is settled, and likely to be unchanged from the XI that defeated England at Lord’s to take the series and top spot on the ICC’s rankings.South Africa (possible): 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Alviro Petersen, 3 Hashim Amla, 4 Jacques Kallis, 5 AB de Villiers (wk), 6 Jacques Rudolph, 7 JP Duminy, 8 Vernon Philander, 9 Morne Morkel, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Imran Tahir.Pitch and conditionsThe Gabba curator Kevin Mitchell jnr. has predicted a slightly drier surface than that prepared for last year’s Test against New Zealand, increasing the likelihood of a fifth day finish and the involvement of the spinners. However some cloud and rain is predicted over the next five days, and Clarke admitted on match eve he was now considering four quicks more seriously.Stats and trivia South Africa will retain top spot on the ICC Test rankings with a drawn series. Australia will claim top spot from them with a series win This is South Africa’s first Test match at the Gabba since 1963 Michael Clarke needs 55 runs to go past Neil Harvey, another fleet-footed batsman, on Australia’s all-time list of Test run scorersQuotes”We know how good South Africa is and respect them for it but we also know we can beat them. We are confident in our ability to beat anyone, anywhere, any time if we play at our best.”
“We have looked at areas that we can exploit within the Australian team as they would do with us. We feel that if we can put pressure on them in certain areas then we can make some plays in those big moments, that is ultimately what the Test series is going to boil down to.”

تغييرات جذرية في باريس سان جيرمان تؤثر على مستقبل ميسي ونيمار ومبابي

يستعد نادي باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي لتغييرات جذرية في صفوف الفريق مع قدوم سوق الانتقالات الصيفي المقبل، خاصة فيما يتعلق بمستقبل الثلاثي ليونيل ميسي ونيمار دا سيلفا وكيليان مبابي.

وينتهي عقد ميسي مع باريس سان جيرمان، بنهاية الموسم الجاري، ومن غير المرجح توقيعه على عقد جديد.

لم يصل الأرجنتيني ميسي إلى اتفاق مع مسؤولي باريس سان جيرمان، ويأتي ذلك وسط محاولات من نادي برشلونة لاستعادة نجمهم من جديد.

وتفيد صحيفة “ميرور” البريطانية، أن سياسة باريس سان جيرمان في الوقت الحالي، تتجه نحو التعاقد مع أفضل لاعبي كرة القدم الفرنسيين والتركيز بشكل أكبر على الشباب الذين طورهم النادي، حيث يفتتحون أكاديمية جديدة هذا العام.

وأشار التقرير إلى أن باريس سان جيرمان بدأ هذه العملية منذ عام، بداية من تعيين كريستوف جالتييه كمدير فني بدلاً من بوتشيتينو، وفتح باب الإعارة لعدة لاعبين مثل إيكاردي ونافاس وفينالدوم ولياندرو باريديس وأندير هيريرا.

وأفادت الصحيفة أن تجديد عقد ميسي لم يعد أولوية لباريس سان جيرمان في الوقت الحالي، لكن مع عدم اليقين حول إمكانية عودته لبرشلونة في ظل الوضع المالي السيء للنادي الكتالوني، قد تفتح مفاوضات جديدة في ظل رغبة الأرجنتيني بالبقاء في أوروبا.

من ناحية أخرى أصر باريس سان جيرمان على أن مبابي سيكون رمزًا لباريس سان جيرمان، مع تمديد عقده في وقت سابق، ووجود خيار إضافي للتمديد حتى يونيو 2025، ولن يوافق النادي على رحيله هذا الصيف، وهو الأمر الذي لا يسعى إليه مبابي حاليًا بأي حال من الأحوال.

ويأمل باريس سان جيرمان في التوصل إلى اتفاق طويل الأمد مع مبابي للبقاء وقت أطول خوفًا من خسارته مجانًا.

وبالنسبة للبرازيلي نيمار، فقد عانى مجددًا من الإصابات، وهو أحد أعلى اللاعبين أجرًا في النادي، ولا يزال أغلى لاعب في العالم بعد انتقاله من برشلونة بقيمة 222 مليون يورو في عام 2017.

وتفيد “ميرور” أنه من غير المرجح أن يكرر باريس سان جيرمان تلك الصفقات رفيعة المستوى مع توجهه الداخلي الجديد وهذا يؤدي إلى عدم اليقين بشأن مستقبل نيمار.

نيمار محل اهتمام لنادي تشيلسي الإنجليزي، وقد يتجدد الاهتمام هذا الصيف، وسيكون باريس سان جيرمان على دراية بالعواقب المحتملة إذا رحل كل من ميسي ونيمار في صيف واحد، لكن لا يمكن استبعاد هذا الاحتمال.

Arboleda revela desejo antigo de disputar a Liberta pelo São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Contratado pelo São Paulo na última temporada, o zagueiro Arboleda festejou a conquista de uma vaga na Copa Libertadores do ano que vem pelo Tricolor. O equatoriano, defensor da seleção de seu país, fará sua estreia na principal competição do continente sul-americano e revelou um desejo antigo.

– Será a minha primeira oportunidade de disputar a Libertadores. E sempre foi o meu sonho disputar a Libertadores pelo São Paulo – confidenciou o dono da camisa 5 do clube do Morumbi.

Depois de vencer o Cruzeiro, por 1 a 0, no último domingo, o Tricolor garantiu sua vaga na próxima edição da Libertadores. Agora, os comandados de André Jardine buscam uma vaga no G4 do Brasileirão para se livrar da fase prévia do torneio organizado pelo Conmebol.

Atualmente, o São Paulo ocupa a quinta colocação e tenta ultrapassar o Grêmio, que soma os mesmos 62 pontos na tabela de classificação, mas possui uma vitória a mais que o time do Morumbi (17 contra 16).

– Felizmente vivemos um bom momento agora. Conseguimos a classificação, mas queremos o G4. Ano passado foi difícil, brigamos contra as últimas colocações e eu nem conseguia dormir direito. Estava preocupado. Mas sempre confiei que daríamos a volta por cima e as coisas iriam melhorar – afirmou o zagueiro, lembrando que em 2017 o São Paulo brigou para não ser rebaixado à Série B do Brasileirão.

Na próxima quinta, às 20h, o Tricolor mede forças com o Vasco, em São Januário, pela 36ª rodada. Na sequência, a equipe do Morumbi recebe o Sport e, por fim, encerra a temporada contra a Chapecoense, em Santa Catarina.

Zulfiqar spell takes WAPDA to thrilling win

A round-up of the President’s Trophy matches that ended on November 23, 2012

ESPNcricinfo staff23-Nov-2012
ScorecardLeft-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar’s seven-wicket haul helped Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) snatch a thrilling four-run win against State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) in a see-saw battle in Faisalabad. The continuous shift of momentum was apparent in SBP’s chase of 165 as in the entire match. After being in a position of control at 93 for 3, SBP lost six wickets for 36 runs, then managed a 33-run last-wicket stand to raise hopes of victory, but in the end, they fell five short of the target.Neither team created a position of clear advantage throughout the contest. However, WAPDA, led by seamers Junaid Khan and Azhar Attari, had a slight edge over their opponents midway, as they took a 46-run first-innings lead.But that was nullified by a poor second innings by them. Spinners Adnan Rasool and Hasan Mahmood ran through the entire batting order, taking nine wickets between them to bowl WAPDA out for 118. Only lower middle-order batsman Mohammad Ayub resisted their onslaught with an unbeaten 32.The chase began poorly as opener Rameez Raja fell with five runs on the board. His partner, captain Kashif Siddiq, with other top-order batsmen, took them to a position of apparent safety at 93 for 3, before a collapse ensued.
ScorecardAt the Khan Research Laboratory Ground in Rawalpindi, the home team, Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), claimed a comfortable seven-wicket victory against Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) with the help of big centuries from middle-order batsman Shoaib Ahmed, and a combined bowling performance in the second innings.After being asked to bowl, KRL took wickets regularly to bowl PIA out for 268. Although only lower-order batsman Tahir Khan scored a half-century, PIA were helped by small but productive partnerships to go past the 250-run mark. The seventh-wicket stand of 58 was the highest, but there were five other partnerships all worth over 30. Left-arm seamer Rahat Ali took four wickets.But the total was overhauled by KRL, with a knock of 177 from middle-order batsman Shoaib. Off the other batsmen, only Saeed Anwar jnr scored a half-century, as they were bowled out for 343. Shoaib’s innings featured 21 boundaries and three sixes.The deficit of 75 was erased by PIA, but three wickets apiece by Yasir Ali and Ali Khan restricted them to 194. Sarfraz Ahmed, with an unbeaten 53, and Faisal Iqbal were the chief contributors to that total. The target was quickly achieved by KRL, courtesy of an aggressive 54 from opener Tayyab Riaz.
ScorecardA potential winning opportunity was spurned by Habib Bank Limited in their chase of 139 as they drew against Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) in Islamabad. After gaining a 61-run lead in the first innings, Habib Bank, through seamers Ehsan Adil and Abdul Ameer, bowled SNGPL for 199. But they couldn’t chase down the small target in 36 overs, and had to be content with three points from the game.SNGPL, after choosing to bat, lost a couple of wickets early, but a 75-run third-wicket partnership, and four other smaller stands took them to 232.Habib Bank’s reply was dominated by their first three batsmen. Openers Imran Farhat and Shan Masood put on 119, with both scoring half-centuries and No. 3 Ahmed Shehzad scored 94. But from 220 for 3, they collapsed to 293 all out.SNGPL managed a more productive second innings than their first. Opener Azeem Ghumman scored a half-century, but of the other batsmen, no one scored more than 24. Ehsan Adil, who had taken two wickets in the first innings, took four this time. A target of 139 in 36 overs appeared achievable and Habib Bank began their chase positively too, but they lost four wickets quickly, and ultimately, ended the game at 73 for 5 with a draw.

Retrospectiva Botafogo 2018: Igor Rabello dá a conta do recado

MatériaMais Notícias

O LANCE! segue nesta quarta-feira a série especial com a retrospectiva do ano do Botafogo. O torcedor teve uma certeza em 2018: Igor Rabello presente como titular e dando conta do recado na zaga do Botafogo. Dentre os clubes da Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, ninguém atuou mais do que Igor Rabello na temporada recém-encerrada. Ao todo, o camisa 2 do Alvinegro entrou em campo em 61 oportunidades, só ficando de fora em uma partida, quando esteve suspenso.

Aos 23 anos, Rabello teve um ano de consolidação. Nos primeiros jogos, teve o jovem Marcelo Benevenuto como companheiro de dupla, ainda com Felipe Conceição. Com Alberto Valentim, o parceiro só tornou-se o Carli a partir da semifinal do Estadual. Ambos voltaram à boa fase de 2017 e terminaram o Carioca em alta, sobretudo após o título.

No Brasileirão, o General, como é conhecido pelos botafoguenses, manteve a ótima forma, inclusive com gols importantes, como diante do Vasco e Palmeiras. O defensor, que é bacharel em Educação Física, cuja designação foi obtida em meados de 2017, encerrou a temporada com incríveis 5550 minutos jogados, o que dá uma média de 88,7 minutos por partida do Botafogo.

Tamanha regularidade deixou Igor Rabello ainda mais em evidência no mercado, nacional e internacional. No meio do ano, cabe lembrar, o zagueiro rejeitou uma proposta de 6 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 25,4 milhões) do Akhmat Grozny, da Chechênia. Já por agora, é o Atlético-MG quem tenta tirá-lo do Botafogo, que, segundo a “Globo”, ofereceu mais de R$ 12 milhões por Rabello. Por ser um dos principais ativos do Glorioso, é possível que saia para aliviar os cofres do clube carioca.

O ANO DE IGOR RABELLO

SOBE – GENERAL INCANSÁVEL
Não é à toa que grandes clubes do cenário brasileiro querem recrutar Igor Rabello para a próxima temporada. O zagueiro simplesmente esteve em 61 dos 62 jogos do Botafogo na temporada, passada por ele em alto nível. Sequer se lesionou em 2018.

DESCE – ACELERA!
Igor Rabello certamente foi o jogador mais regular do Botafogo. Além de só ter desfalcado em um jogo, não deixou a desejar na parte técnica ou tática. Como um ponto negativo é necessário, dá para afirmarmos que a velocidade do zagueiro ainda não é a ideal para o mesmo ir à Seleção, por exemplo.

Australia and Hampshire strike academy deal

Cricket Australia and Hampshire Cricket have announced a partnership which will see some of Australia’s most talented young cricketers spend the next English summer at the newly-formed Ageas Bowl International Cricket Academy

Cricket Australia and Hampshire Cricket have announced a partnership which will see some of Australia’s most talented young cricketers spend the next English summer at the newly-formed Ageas Bowl International Cricket Academy.The deal confirms Hampshire’s status as the host of one of the best-equipped cricket academies in the world and left Rod Bransgrove, the county’s cricket chairman and long-time driving force, purring with delight at another sign of progress for the project that has long been his life’s obsession.”Cricket Australia has been an admirer of the Ageas Bowl for some time and we are delighted that they are sending six high-performing young players to the Academy in its inaugural year,” Bransgrove said. “We are one of the few professional grounds in the world with two full-sized cricket pitches immediately adjacent to each other which means our outdoor facilities are available even when there is a match on. That is a great advantage. We are a genuine international cricket academy.”Lord’s will always have its tradition and a presence second to none, but our ambition is simply to create the finest ground in the country.”English players have long had the advantages of winter stints in Australia, South Africa and India as part of their overall development and now Hampshire’s academy offers an opportunity in reverse which Cricket Australia has been quick to grasp. Hampshire promise access to world-class coaching, sports science and medical staff.As part of the programme the Australian players will play in the Southern Electric Premier League for the duration of the English domestic cricket season. “That’s an extra benefit – that six league clubs get an overseas player free of charge for the whole of the season,” said Bransgrove. “I’m not in favour of clubs using their hard-earned funds for recreational players even if they commit to regular coaching and have the club at heart.”Bransgrove has reason to be satisfied. The launch of the academy follows Hampshire’s achievement in winning the Friends Life Twenty20 and CB40 tournaments last season and the securing of a £45m investment from Eastleigh Borough Council to secure the final stage in the development of the Ageas Bowl which will include the construction of a 4-star hotel, additional conferencing and hospitality facilities and a state-of-the-art media centre.Although he has handed over the chief executive role to David Mann after ceaselessly driving Hampshire forward for 12 years, Bransgrove is not the sort for for semi-retirement. “I have taken a back seat in the day-to-day running of the business,” he said. “After 12 years the club needed new energy. But I’ve got so much emotion – and money – wrapped up in it I can’t run away.”The partnership will form part of the 2013 Australian Institute of Sport men’s cricket programme and The Kerry Packer Foundation will provide scholarships to the selected players.Pat Howard, Cricket Australia’s team performance manager, said: “CA is very excited about this partnership and opportunity for our very best young players. The opportunity to experience cricket in a different country will grow them as players and as people. For those chosen it will be an important part of their development.”English counties have occasionally faced criticism for employing Australian players on short-term contracts ahead of Ashes series but Bransgrove is confident that within the cricket community at least the presence of some of Australia’s top young cricketers in Hampshire will be universally seen as a success story. Discussions are also underway with India and Sri Lanka for similar tie-ups.”The ECB fully recognises that we have a responsibility to maximise our income,” he said. “We are talking about the development of young players. Every country seeking to develop players wants to use the facilities of other countries in the off season. For England players not to have the chance to go abroad would be disastrous and it is only right that we reciprocate. I would like to think that cricket can be more high-minded about the development of young cricketers.”

لويس ساها: لا أريد رؤية نيمار بقميص مانشستر يونايتد

عبر مهاجم مانشستر يونايتد الأسبق، لويس ساها، عن رأيه في الشائعات التي تتحدث عن إمكانية انضمام لاعب باريس سان جيرمان، نيمار دا سيلفا، إلى الشياطين الحمر في الميركاتو الصيفي المقبل.

وازدادت الأنباء عن انتقال نيمار إلى مانشستر يونايتد، بالتزامن مع رغبة بعض الملاك القطريين في شراء النادي الإنجليزي في الأسابيع الماضية.

وتحدث ساها عن رأيه في تصريحات لشبكة “Betfred”، وقال: “لا أرغب في رؤيته بقميص مانشستر يونايتد، لأن وجوده سيجذب الكثير من الصخب الإعلامي للنادي، هيكل الفريق مهم للغاية وإلا سيضعف”.

وأضاف: “بالطبع، أنا معجب بنيمار كلاعب على أرض الملعب، لكن لا أعتقد أنه كان على مستوى التوقعات في آخر 3 أو 4 مواسم له مع باريس سان جيرمان”.

وأتم: “على الرغم من ذلك، إذا انتقل نيمار إلى الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز في يوم من الأيام، سيكون مصدر اهتمام كبير، فهو لاعب ممتع لتشاهده في المباريات، لكن أيضًا يمكنني أن اتفهم سبب الانتقادات التي يتلاقها على مدار تواجده مع باريس سان جيرمان”.
