Zafar Ansari hit Mitch Claydon for two legside sixes in an astonishing final over in which Surrey failed to score from the last two balls to tie with Kent in a thrilling match at The Oval.Both counties ended up taking a point away each after Kent’s 314 for 8 was equalled by Surrey’s 314 for 9, but the hosts will be kicking themselves after coming so close.Left-hander Ansari, who came in at No. 9 despite being Surrey’s Championship opener, lifted Claydon’s first ball of the final over to midwicket for six as Surrey chased 16 to win and then hit a two wide of deep square cover before straight-driving another maximum.With two runs needed from three balls, it seemed as if Surrey must win but, after Ansari took a dabbed single from the fourth ball, Gareth Batty swung and missed at the fifth ball and then drove the last ball straight to mid-off where James Tredwell stopped it to run Batty out.Ansari’s brave effort left him 27 not out from 16 balls, but perhaps he should have swung at the fourth ball.As it was, the tie was in many ways a fitting result in a game full of fine strokeplay and also some excellent bowling from Kent spinners Tredwell and Fabian Cowdrey, while Chris Tremlett also shone taking 4 for 38 from his 10 overs.Earlier in the floodlit contest, Sam Billings’ 87 from 42 balls, with six sixes and six fours, inspired Kent to their challenging total. Billings’ extraordinary shot-making included going down on one knee several times to sweep and flip fast bowlers Stuart Meaker and Tremlett high over a shortish legside boundary.Before he got to the crease Sam Northeast and Cowdrey combined for a vital third-wicket partnership of 92 in 19 overs after Daniel Bell-Drummond fell in the seventh over and Brendan Nash followed shortly after.Northeast’s day finished when he skied Tremlett to mid-on after hitting five fours in 63 from 87 balls and with Darren Stevens and then Cowdrey falling Kent were in danger of falling short of par on 219 for 5.Enter Billings. The 23-year-old had started fluently, twice reverse-sweeping Dilshan’s off breaks for four and then slog-sweeping Mahmood for six, but his thrilling acceleration saw him dominate a sixth-wicket stand of 66 in 6.3 overs with Calum Haggett.His half-century arrived off just 29 balls, paddling Meaker high over short fine leg for four, before Billings then unfurled some even more astonishing shots – a straight driven six off Batty and then a flicked maximum, down on one knee, from Meaker.Billings added two more sixes to his collection, a straight hit off Mahmood and a slog-sweep off Tremlett, before he was caught at long leg after not getting enough bat on another hook at Tremlett.Haggett departed in the same over, the 47th, but Tredwell batted brightly for 20 not out from 13 balls, and some more useful tail-end runs were added before Claydon was bowled for seven swinging at the last ball of the innings, from Mahmood.Surrey’s reply began poorly as Tillakaratne Dilshan flashed at the first ball he faced to get caught behind off Doug Bollinger, before Vikram Solanki, Steven Davies and Rory Burns stepped up with a blaze of strokeplay.Solanki, with two sixes and nine fours in an 88-ball 83, added 89 in just over 13 overs with Davies, whose 58 from 52 balls featured 10 fours.The hosts’ troubles started when Burns was run out in the first batting Powerplay over. Gary Wilson was then caught at deep square-leg off a top-edged pull at Claydon and Tremlett, sent in to swing from the hip, was bowled for 12 after hitting one six and a four.Surrey, needing 49 from the last four overs,were revived by Mahmood, who took 19 from Doug Bollinger’s 47th over, including a huge six over midwicket, and Mahmood also drove Tredwell for six before needlessly attempting a reverse-slap to get bowled by the off spinner’s final ball.Bollinger then sent down a fine 49th over, which cost only five runs, before Ansari provided the sting in the tail.

Finch named Australia's T20 captain

Aaron Finch has been named as Australia’s new Twenty20 captain, succeeding George Bailey, who stepped down from the role on Sunday

Brydon Coverdale08-Sep-2014Aaron Finch has been named as Australia’s new Twenty20 captain, succeeding George Bailey, who stepped down from the role on Sunday. Finch, 27, will become the seventh man to lead Australia’s T20 team when they take on Pakistan in a one-off match in Dubai on October 5.As captain of the Melbourne Renegades for the past two Big Bash League campaigns, Finch has acquired plenty of T20 captaincy experience, and he has also led the Pune Warriors in the IPL. The No.1-ranked T20 international batsman in the world, Finch also led Australia A against the England Lions last year and the selectors were pleased with his performance.Aaron Finch has succeeded George Bailey as Australia’s T20 captain•Getty Images

“When George indicated that he was stepping down from the position, we thought Aaron was the obvious choice to succeed him,” Rod Marsh, the national selector, said. “We know he will relish the opportunity to lead his country.”He has a task ahead of him. He is taking on a young side that is currently ranked fifth in the world. His first challenge will be building consistent performances as they head towards the ICC World Twenty20 in 2016.”On Sunday, Bailey endorsed Finch as a potential successor, describing him as the kind of player who thrives on the leadership. Finch said he was looking forward to leading his country for the first time.”Having the honour to captain your country in any form of the game is something that all young cricketers dream about,” Finch said. “It came as a big surprise but it was a very nice phone call to receive from Rod Marsh. I never imagined when captaining in the past that it would lead to national responsibilities.”I’ve just set out to be the best player that I can and luckily an opportunity like this has come my way. I have been fortunate enough to play under some fantastic captains, including Michael Clarke and George Bailey and I have learnt a lot from them. It goes without saying that I will do my utmost in this role as we lead into the ICC World T20 in about eighteen months’ time. It’s going to be very exciting.”

Vila Nova, em Pelotas, quebra sequência negativa ganhando do Brasil

MatériaMais Notícias

Na fria cidade de Pelotas, o Vila Nova trouxe uma luz a sua campanha até então negativa na Série B, principalmente no pós-Copa América, e bateu o Brasil no estádio Bento Freitas por 2 a 0. Com o resultado, o time do Centro-Oeste fica em 15° com 14 unidades enquanto o Brasil é o 14° com 14.

Quem chegou pela primeira vez com chance de marcar foram os mandantes quando, em batida de escanteio vinda do lado direito do ataque, o zagueiro Nirley subiu muito alto e testou para uma defesa de puro reflexo praticada por Rafael Santos.

Porém, a rede balançou do outro lado do campo quando o meio-campista Ramon partiu em velocidade na intermediária ofensiva, driblou três marcadores e tocou para Neto Moura chegar batendo forte, rasteiro, sem dar tempo de reação para Carlos Eduardo. 1 a 0 Vila aos 23 minutos de partida em Pelotas.

Jogando na base do contra-ataque, antes do fim da primeira parte, o Tigrão poderia ter aumentado sua dianteira. Já nos acréscimos, Robinho, dentro da grande área, bateu na saída do goleiro do Xavante, mas não contava com o corte providencial de Nirley dando um carrinho na pequena área.

Os espaços que apareceram de maneira mais restrita na metade inicial do confronto surgiram logo nos primeiros 20 onde o Brasil quase marcou com Bruno Paulo parando em Rafael Santos além do time visitante que teve, pelo menos, três finalizações claras que poderiam deixar sua vantagem mais robusta.

Entretanto, a questão dos erros no ataque acabou não fazendo falta pois, aos 26, o lateral Jeferson ficou frente a frente com Carlos Eduardo e fuzilou a meta gaúcha para o segundo dos goianos na partida, placar final.

كلوب عن بيان رابطة الحكام: لن يفيدنا .. مثلما حدث مع ولفرهامبتون أمام مانشستر يونايتد

علق يورجن كلوب على بيان لجنة الحكام الإنجليزية، بشأن هدف لويس دياز الذي سجله في مرمى توتنهام وتم إلغاءه خلال المباراة التي جمعت بين الفريقين.

كان ليفربول قد سجل هدفًا عن طريق لويس دياز، في الشوط الأول، بعد تمريرة رائعة من محمد صلاح ولكن تم إلغاءه بداعِ وجود حالة تسلل على الكولومبي، وذلك بقرار من الحكم، ودعمته تقنية الفيديو.

وتسبب قرار إلغاء هدف لويس دياز في حالة من الجدل لدى ليفربول، وعلى رأسهم المدرب يورجن كلوب، لعدم وجود دليل ملموس على حالة التسلل.

الأمر الذي أدى لإصدار بيان من لجنة الحكام الإنجليزية، والتي أكدت بأن قرار إلغاء الهدف كان خطأ بشريًا من حكام تقنية الفيديو، وقدمت اعتذارًا رسميًا.

يورجن كلوب لم يفوّت الفرصة للرد، وخلال المؤتمر الصحفي، قال: “كيف يساعدنا ذلك البيان؟ بالتأكيد لن يضيف لنا أي شيء، ولن يعيد لنا نقاط المباراة”.

وأضاف: “هل حصل ولفرهامبتون على نقاط مباراته رغم تسجيله هدفًا صحيحًا في مانشستر يونايتد، لن يفيدنا هذا البيان نهائيًا، ولن نحصل على نقاط المباراة”.

وواصل: “لا نتوقع قرارات صائبة بنسبة 100% من الحكام في الملعب، ولكن في ظل وجود تقنية الفيديو توقعنا بأن تكون الأمور أفضل”.

واختتم: “لا أعلم ما هو الضغط الذي كان يعاني منه حكم الفيديو، لقد اتخذوا القرار بعدم احتساب الهدف بسرعة، وبسبب ذلك الهدف تغيّر مسار المباراة، رغم أننا كنا نلعب بـ 10 لاعبين حينها”.

Genaro é suspenso por um ano no Palmeiras e detona presidente do CD; Nobre renuncia vaga no conselho

MatériaMais Notícias

O parecer da sindicância do “caso Blackstar” foi votado na noite desta quinta-feira e suspendeu Genaro Marino por um ano de qualquer atividade no Palmeiras. José Carlos Tomaselli, Ricardo Galassi e Paulo Nobre foram advertidos, e o ex-presidente abriu mão de todos os seus direitos políticos no clube diante de sua divergência com a atual gestão.

A investigação foi aberta depois de a chapa de oposição, encabeçada por Genaro e apoiada por Nobre, levar a Maurício Galiotte proposta da Blackstar para patrocinar o Verdão por dez anos e um contrato de R$ 1 bilhão. O presidente encerrou as conversas ao dizer que a empresa apresentou documentos falsos, decidindo renovar por mais três anos com a Crefisa e Faculdade das Américas, empresas de Leila Pereira e José Roberto Lamacchia, principais figuras da situação no Conselho Deliberativo do clube.

A forma como o processo ocorreu incomodou bastante a Genaro, que foi vice nas duas gestões de Paulo Nobre e tem longa vida política no clube. De acordo com ele, o presidente do Conselho Deliberativo, Seraphim Del Grande, agiu incorretamente ao longo da sindicância. Após a punição, que o impede de entrar na sede social por 12 meses, o ex-candidato avalia se levará o caso para a Justiça comum.

– O Seraphim colocou a votação (da sindicância) como se eu fosse apenas um associado, não um conselheiro. Pelo item 36 do estatuto, que ele sugeria nos punir, a votação precisa ser da maioria no número total do conselho, não de presentes. Ou seja, eram necessários 141 votos para que me considerassem culpado. Ele passou como se eu fosse apenas um associado, e assim votou apenas com a maioria dos presentes – alegou Genaro ao LANCE!.

O parecer da sindicância foi aprovado com 122 votos, sendo 76 contrários e 22 abstenções. Ele continua a argumentação de que todo o processo da sindicância foi irregular.

– Foi chamada a atenção das irregularidades da sindicância. As pessoas que assinaram a requisição (da sindicância) foram as que participaram da sindicância e as que julgaram. É muita cara de pau, é uma aberração. O que o Seraphim está fazendo vai ficar para a história: um presidente do Conselho que não segue o estatuto e faz o que quer. Como eles tem conselheiros nomeados na diretoria, para não perder cargo votam com ele. Não falam nada. E tem outro agravante, o artigo 47 diz que se um conselheiro for julgado, por serviços prestados precisa de uma consideração diferente. Eles não me consideraram como conselheiro vitalício e vice-presidente – continuou.

– Faltando 15 dias para a votação, fui convidado pelo presidente da sindicância, que me sugeriu assinar um documento dizendo que fui induzido a um erro e que pediria desculpas, para dar a mesma advertência que deram ao Paulo, ao Tomaselli e ao Galassi. Eu disse que não iria assinar a carta, porque fiz tudo de boa fé, acreditando nos documentos que me apresentaram e pedindo para que eles analisassem também – acrescentou.

Genaro foi à reunião no clube nesta quinta à noite para se defender; Nobre, não. Fora de todos os eventos no Palmeiras desde que rompeu com Maurício Galiotte, seu então braço direito e sucessor, o ex-presidente abriu mão de sua vaga vitalícia no Conselho Deliberativo e no Conselho de Orientação e Fiscalização. A decisão é uma forma de mostrar contrariedade com os rumos da política alviverde desde 2017.

Nobre já não comparece há quase três anos no Verdão e voltou a disputar corridas de rally ao redor do mundo. Genaro e Tomaselli eram vices na primeira chapa de Galiotte, mas também romperam com o atual mandatário e estavam na chapa de oposição, derrotada no fim do ano.

O ex-presidente já estava decidido a abrir mão de seus direitos políticos em fevereiro, quando foi convidado a prestar esclarecimentos sobre a proposta da Blackstar. Na ocasião, ele enviou uma carta a Seraphim Del Grande, pedindo que ao término da sindicância ele fosse retirado do Conselho Deliberativo, por “não ter mais a menor motivação de militar na política do clube”. A oficialização veio depois da votação desta quinta.

Análise: Vitória contra o Atlético-AC foi boa, mas Juventude precisa manter atenção

MatériaMais Notícias

Dificilmente é possível diminuir a importância de uma vitória em fase de pontos corridos, logo todo triunfo é importante.

Entretanto, se existia um momento chave para que o Juventude conseguisse vencer e voltasse a figurar na primeira posição do Grupo B era nesse fim de semana diante do praticamente rebaixado Atlético-AC.

O triunfo por 1 a 0 na cidade de Rio Branco parou a série de quatro jogos distante dos três pontos em meio a reta final da fase classificatória na terceira divisão, algo que já colocava em discussão até mesmo a antes inquestionável possibilidade do time de Caxias do Sul ir ao mata-mata.

A sensação é de euforia, mas é preciso se retomar o pensamento coerente analisando como se coloca a pontuação da chave, algo aliás bem diferente da vantagem estabelecida pelo Sampaio Corrêa no Grupo A que, inclusive, já lhe garantiu vaga na fase seguinte.

Hoje, a distância do Ju para o Remo, primeiro time fora do G4, é de somente dois pontos restando ainda nove a serem disputados.

Um ponto que pode ser encarado como positivo é a chance de fazer dois dos três confrontos decisivos ao lado de seu torcedor no Alfredo Jaconi contra Tombense e Ypiranga. Esses pontos, certamente, podem ser capazes de tornar a expectativa de garantir a qualificação para o mata-mata uma realidade.

مدرب أبو سليم الليبي يكشف لـ "بطولات" أين سيستضيف الزمالك في كأس الكونفدرالية

كشف المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي أبو سليم الليبي، شكري الخطوي، عن المكان الذي سيستضيف الزمالك فيه خلال مباراته بدور المجموعات في بطولة كأس الكونفدرالية.

وأوقعت القرعة يوم أمس، الجمعة، الزمالك في المجموعة الثانية والتي تضم كلاً من أبو سليم الليبي، سوار الغيني وأخيرًا ساجرادا إسبيرانسا الأنجولي.

ويدرب فريق أبو سليم الليبي في الوقت الحالي المدرب التونسي، شكري الخطوي، والذي كان يدرب العديد من الأندية كان آخرها نادي أحد في الدوري السعودي.

ونجح الخطوي في قيادة أبو سليم للتأهل إلى دور المجموعات بعد التغلب على كمبالا سيتي الأوغندي في دور الـ 32، بإجمالي نتيجة مباراتي الذهاب والعودة 5-4.

وتواصل “btolat.com” مع الخطوي للحديث عن المجموعة الثانية في كأس الكونفدرالية، وقال: “لم تعد هناك مجموعة سهلة وأخرى صعبة في البطولات الإفريقية”.

وتابع: “الملعب هو الفيصل في أن يثبت كل فريق من هو الأقوى، صحيح الزمالك فريق قوي وخبرة في حصد الألقاب، لكن سيكون فريق أبو سليم صعب المراس أمام كل المنافسين”.

وأضاف: “مقارنة بالفريق الأنجولي والغيني، أعتقد أن الكرة في مصر وليبيا تكتيكيًا أفضل بكثير، وهذا في حد ذاته يمنح الزمالك وأبو سليم فرصة للتأهل إلى الدور المقبل”.

وعن المكان الذي سيستضيف أبو سليم فيه الزمالك ومبارياته على أرضه في البطولة، قال: “سيكون في تونس”.

وكان أبو سليم قد خاض مباراة دور الـ 64 أمام الأولمبي الباجي التونسي في مصر على ملعب الأهلي وي السلام، لكن عندما التقى بنادي كمبالا سيتي الأوغندي في دور الـ 32، لعب في تونس في ملعب “رادس”.

Victoria hold on for two-run win

Scott Boland defended eight runs in the final over to eke out Victoria’s domestic limited overs win over New South Wales, a second blow to the Blues after Moises Henriques suffered a calf tear

Scott Boland defended eight runs in the final over to eke out Victoria’s domestic limited overs win over New South Wales, a second blow to the Blues after Moises Henriques suffered a calf tear.The Blues’ chase was inconvenienced by the injury to Henriques, who pulled up in considerable pain after completing a run, and retired hurt on 11. He will now be in considerable doubt for the remainder of the tournament. Western Australia are now top of the table after beating South Australia.Victoria’s tally on a slow, spinning pitch at Blacktown Oval was underpinned by a stand of 96 between Cameron White and Marcus Stoinis, before David Hussey hit out with power and intelligence.The target of 246 appeared to be beyond NSW, until Ryan Carters and Sean Abbott combined for a rapid union of 58. Carters had successfully closed out all four of the Blues’ chases in the tournament so far, and with only eight required for the final over appeared likely to do so again.However with four runs still needed, he backed up too far to Boland’s fourth ball and when Abbott drove straight back to the bowler, he was run out. Next ball saw a near action replay as Boland maintained a commendably straight line and yorker length, this time resulting in Abbott’s run out. Chris Green was unable to locate the boundary needed from the final ball, and the Bushrangers rejoiced.They had been led by Aaron Finch due to the suspension of Matthew Wade for breaking a window at North Sydney Oval after he was dismissed earlier in the tournament.
