Wettimuny to head SLC interim committee

Sports Minister Navin Dissanayake has appointed a nine-member interim committee headed by former Sri Lanka Test opener Sidath Wettimuny to run the administration of Sri Lanka Cricket

Sa'adi Thawfeeq31-Mar-2015Sri Lanka sports minister Navin Dissanayake has appointed a nine-member interim committee headed by former Test opener Sidath Wettimuny to run Sri Lanka Cricket, effective from April 1.The committee was established because the posts held by current office bearers, led by president Jayantha Dharmadasa, had become null and void. The laws governing all sports bodies in the country require annual elections to be held on or before March 31. SLC’s elections, however, were postponed until the end of April due to the World Cup, which ended on March 29.The interim committee’s time in power has not been specified, but it is expected to last not more than six months.Wettimuny has been a member of several interim committees in the past but this is the first time he has been asked to head one. He is expected to carry out the functions of the SLC until elections are held or until further notice, according to a Sports Ministry release.The Minister has included two members who held positions during Dharmadasa’s period as president – Nuski Mohamed (who was treasurer) and Jayananda Warnaweera (ExCo member) in the interim committee. Two other former interim committee members, Kushil Gunasekara and Prakash Schaffter, have been appointed vice-president and secretary respectively.Lucille Wijewardena (treasurer), Kapila Wijegunawardena (vice-president), Prasanna Jayawardena of the President’s Council and Duminda Hulangamuwa (both committee members) are the others members of the interim committee.Sports Ministry sources have stated that the Minister Dissanayake took this decision to unify and not further divide an already fractured SLC and that elections would not be held until the time is right.Sri Lanka cricket was run under an interim administration for several years until the ICC brought a rule two years ago that such committees, which are appointed by the country’s government would not be recognised.

Glamorgan stroll to easy win

Openers Jim Allenby and Jacques Rudolph scored half-centuries to help Glamorgan to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Middlesex in their Royal London Cup opener

Press Association26-Jul-2014
ScorecardJim Allenby top-scored as Glamorgan eased to victory in Cardiff•Getty ImagesOpeners Jim Allenby and Jacques Rudolph scored half-centuries to help Glamorgan to a comfortable seven-wicket win over Middlesex in their Royal London Cup opener at Cardiff.After Glamorgan had put Middlesex in to bat, they restricted the opposition to 174 for 8 in their 50 overs with Michael Hogan and David Lloyd, playing his first 50-over match, claiming three wickets apiece.Middlesex were given some hope after being reduced to 90 for 8 with an unbeaten 84-run partnership between Neil Dexter and Steven Finn in nearly 25 overs. But in-form Glamorgan carried on from Friday night when they confirmed their place in the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals with an eight-wicket win over Gloucestershire.On the same wicket as the T20 match, Allenby and Rudolph helped to make light work of the target, which the county reached with 13.4 overs remaining.Hogan had put a huge dent in Middlesex’s top order reducing them to 33 for 3 inside 11 overs. Dawid Malan went for a first-ball duck, having shouldered arms to Hogan’s fifth ball, before Australian opener Chris Rogers was caught off a leading edge at mid-on by Lloyd, diving forward, to give Hogan his second wicket. And Hogan also grabbed the prize wicket of Eoin Morgan who was caught behind attempting an expansive drive.The score became 53 for 4 when 19-year-old seamer Dewi Penrhyn-Jones, making his senior county debut, struck in his second over to have Ryan Higgins caught behind.Nick Gubbins did strike Penrhyn-Jones for six over deep backward square but he became the first of two more catches for Mark Wallace behind the stumps off slow left-armer Dean Cosker, whose 10 overs only conceded 19 runs.After Gubbins’ demise, John Simpson was the first of three wickets for Lloyd, who finished with figures of 3 for 25 from eight overs, in the space of only nine balls. Both Toby Roland-Jones, who went for a third-ball duck, and Tim Murtagh were caught at slip by Allenby.At that stage Middlesex would have done well to get to three figures but Dexter and Finn batted sensibly in a bid to see out the overs, which they achieved without too many scares.In reply, Allenby and Rudolph seemed in total control of the run chase as they reached 50 for no wicket in the first 10 overs. They had reached 136 for the first wicket when Rudolph was caught behind attempting to pull Finn. He went for 61 from 70 balls with seven fours.Allenby followed him back to the pavilion in the next over after being caught on the long-off boundary by Roland-Jones off new England Lions recruit Ravi Patel. Glamorgan were well on the way to victory but not before Murray Goodwin departed, caught at mid-on off Patel with 22 runs still required.

Wisden takes aim at Big Three

England’s fallen cricketers can finally breathe a sigh of relief – they are not the biggest cause for concern in Wisden 2014 who instead take aim at the new arrangements for the administration of the game

Wisden describes Giles Clarke and his Cricket Australia counterparts as lapdogs to the BCCI•England & Wales Cricket Board

England’s fallen cricketers can finally breathe a sigh of relief – they are not the biggest cause for concern so far as one of the game’s most influential, and widely heard, voices is concerned.Normally, an Ashes whitewashing described as the worst result in England’s 137-year Test history would earn top billing in Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack. And most editions of the Big Yellow Book, certainly those published during the past three or four decades, would have seen the editor devoting more than five paragraphs of his Notes to the sacking of a box office superstar like Kevin Pietersen.But while England – struggling captain, former coach, miscalculating selectors, one time golden boy-turned he-who-must-never-darker-our-door-again and all – are examined in turn, it is another subject entirely that first encourages Wisden onto its soapbox.”Cricket is appallingly administered and is vulnerable to economic exploitation by the one country powerful to exploit it and the two countries prepared to lend their plans credibility,” Lawrence Booth writes in Wisden’s leader column or Notes by the Editor.Step forward (and don’t take a bow) India, England and Australia. Yes, it was the “big three’s” 2014 masterplan for world cricket that bothered Wisden more than anything else as its 151st edition was being put to bed.”The boards of India, England and Australia had quietly crafted a document which claimed to safeguard the game’s future while more obviously safeguarding their own,” Booth writes.”In sum, the BCCI wanted an even larger slice of the ICC pie, and the ECB and Cricket Australia happily acquiesced, knowing their portion would grow too. The rest were assured they would be better off. And who could object to a world with more money for everyone?”Here was a colonial style divide and rule. Here was the realpolitik of modern cricket. It was hard to read this any other way: the rich would be getting a whole lot richer.”Elsewhere in Wisden, Giles Clarke, the ECB’s Chairman, is given two pages to state the case for the defence, although state the case for “our vision for a better game” is how he would put it.”Following much discussion, with two meetings in Dubai and a third in Singapore, agreement was reached and resolutions were passed on February 8,” Clarke writes. “As so often in cricket administration, these were widely – perhaps deliberately – misinterpreted. We had to harden ourselves against uninformed and biased comment to deliver our vision for a better and more financially secure cricketing world.”Clarke and co are no doubts still hardening themselves, so to speak – especially should they read comments like one in Booth’s notes that refers to India’s “English and Australian lapdogs.””The Test game needed to be nurtured as the primary format,” Clarke writes. And he adds: “The FTP has not been abolished but left to individual boards to arrange among themselves. It has been extended to 2023 with the top eight nations playing each other. And India do not get a veto.”Contrast that to what Booth reads into the Big Three’s original draft document (which was leaked to ESPNcricinfo) and which Wisden’s editor believes “may reveal the true motivation, before compromise reins it in.”Booth states: “At its heart lay the BCCI’s desire not merely to oust the ICC as the game’s governing body but to wean themselves, eventually, off all but the most lucrative international fixtures, and to create more space for domestic Twenty20.”So you pay your money (£50 in the case of both hardback and softcover versions of Wisden 2014) and you take your choice.

Lehmann rejects sledging summit

Australia’s coach Darren Lehmann has rejected suggestions of talks with England to set boundaries for acceptable sledging during the Ashes series. His comments arrived the day after his counterpart Andy Flower said he would seriously consider a meeting in the aftermath of a heated Brisbane Test and Jonathan Trott’s withdrawal from the tour.While insisting it had nothing to do with Trott’s departure due to a stress-related illness, England were unhappy about Australian batsman David Warner’s public description of Trott’s dismissals as “pretty weak”.Flower stressed the importance of “playing the game of cricket on the pitch” at the same time he expressed hope that Trott’s exit would not become grist for the Ashes banter mill that chugged away incessantly at the Gabba.”I’ll have a think about it,” Flower said at the press conference where Trott’s departure was announced when asked if talks with Lehmann were necessary. “I think both sides must concentrate on playing the game of cricket on the pitch. In a competitive way but finding the right balance.”I don’t think Trott should be raised on the pitch. We’re there to play cricket. A balance has got to be found on the pitch between competitiveness and not overstepping the line.”But Lehmann was not prepared to entertain thoughts of a meeting, saying that while he wished Trott well in his recovery, Flower’s team had offered plenty to say to his players in Brisbane and also during the earlier Ashes encounter in England. Australia’s players feel their aggressive attitude in the first Test had contributed to their victory and Lehmann seemed in no mood to dilute it.”From my point of view, Andy looks after his side and I look after my side, that’s what you do in the game of cricket. I played cricket with Andy at South Australia, I talk to him all the time, but at the end of the day, he’s in control of the England cricket team and we’ve got to try and get the Ashes back,” Lehmann said on the Adelaide radio station 5AA. “Trott has gone home and we hope he gets well soon. We do care about that but we’re still going to play really hard cricket.”Warner avoided a sanction by both the ICC and Cricket Australia for his comments but has been counselled about his words by Lehmann and team management. He withdrew from a scheduled radio commitment in Sydney on Tuesday and his media appearances are expected to be minimal for the rest of the series.The tourists were far less perturbed about Michael Clarke’s threatening on-field words to conclude a confrontation between James Anderson and George Bailey in the final minutes of the first Test, even though their inadvertent broadcast by Channel Nine drew an ICC fine for Australia’s captain.”I was happy that ‘Bails’ gave him a bit back, that’s part and parcel of the game. They’re all grown men out there, they will work it out,” Lehmann said. “I just know we copped a lot in England and we didn’t shy away from that. That’s what happens when you go away, so I don’t see what the difference is from England to here. We’re on the other end of it, that’s just the way it goes. Both teams play hard and as long as it stays on the field I’m happy with that.”James Sutherland, the CA chief executive, has meanwhile offered his own message of support to Trott. “All the staff, management and players at Cricket Australia wish Jonathan Trott well,” he said. “We hope to see him fit and healthy and back on the cricket field soon.”

سبورت: برشلونة يأمل في عرض سعودي للتخلص من مهاجمه هذا الصيف

يفكر نادي برشلونة في بيع أحد المهاجمين في الفريق الأول لكرة القدم في الأيام المقبلة، من أجل حل أزمة مالية قادرة على منح الإدارة فرصة تمويل صفقة جديدة قبل نهاية الميركاتو الصيفي.

ونجح برشلونة في حسم صفقتين بشكل رسمي وهما إلكاي جوندوجان وإينيجو مارتينيز وهناك صفقة ثالثة وشيكة على الإعلان وهي مهاجم أتلتيكو باراناينسي، فيتور روكي.

ولكن ما زال تشافي وفقًا لتصريحاته يريد المزيد من الصفقات لتدعيم صفوف الفريق قبل بداية الموسم الجديد 2023/2024.

ولذلك وبحسب صحيفة “سبورت” الكتالونية أن برشلونة بدأ التفكير في البيع وعلى رأس تلك الاختيارات المهاجم، فيران توريس.

يدرس النادي فكرة بيع توريس ولكن ليس بمقابل أقل من 40 مليون يورو بعد شرائه في يناير العام الماضي بـ 55 مليون يورو.

هناك خيارات أخرى للبيع ولكن لن تكون بنفس هذا المبلغ مثل كليموه لينجليه المطلوب في توتنهام بمقابل 10 ملايين يورو، فرانك كيسيه المطلوب من الدوري السعودي وإنتر ميلان وأخيرًا عبد الصمد الزلزولي المطلوب من يوفنتوس.

يتمنى برشلونة وصول عرض غير متوقع من الدوري السعودي يتخلص من خلاله من فيران توريس الذي لا يدخل ضمن خطط تشافي في الموسم الجديد.

رغم نية برشلونة ومعرفة توريس ووكلاءه بما يفكر النادي فيه، إلا أن تفكير اللاعب لا يتغير منذ فترة بأنه يريد الاستمرار مع الفريق وإثبات نفسه بالمنافسة مع زملائه.

ولكن الأزمة الاقتصادية التي ضربت برشلونة تجعل كل شيء ممكنًا في كل فترة انتقالات يمر النادي بها ورحيل توريس ليس مستبعدًا في ظل رغبة برشلونة في استمرار أنسو فاتي ووجود الرباعي روبرت ليفاندوفسكي، رافينها، عثمان ديمبلي وفيتور روكي هجوميًا.

ولكن كل هذا لن يتم حسمه إلا من خلال الأسابيع القليلة المقبلة وكيف خططت الإدارة الفنية بقيادة، ماتيو أليماني وديكو، للموسم الجديد.

Bola e intensidade: Arrascaeta fica devendo e vê Everton Ribeiro crescer

MatériaMais Notícias

Após a derrota para o Fluminense na semifinal da Taça Guanabara – em que falhou no gol da derrota e eliminação -, Abel Braga deu moral para o meia, o abraçou e o escalou como titular nas últimas três jogo do Flamengo. Contudo, a atuação discreta diante do San José, em Oruro, pode colocar o status do meia em xeque para os próximos desafios, seja pelo Estadual, seja pela Libertadores.

No primeiro grande jogo do Flamengo no ano, Arrascaeta ficou devendo. O meia pouco dialogou com os parceiros de ataque em um primeiro tempo em que o time não sofreu grandes sustos, tampouco criou chances claras de gol. Assim, foi sacado por Abel Braga no intervalo e não voltou para a etapa final.

Os 13 passes que Arrascaeta acertou nos 45 minutos iniciais foram para Pará (3), Renê (3), Cuéllar (3), Diego (2) e Gabigol (2). Foram quatro passes errados. Além da tímida contribuição ofensiva, o uruguaio ainda ficou devendo na recomposição defensiva, deixando os laterais, principalmente Pará, em apuros.

Pesa contra Arrascaeta o fato de ter se apresentado ao clube cerca de duas semanas após o resto do elenco. O uruguaio, envolvido em uma longa negociação com o Cruzeiro, ainda não alcançou sua melhor forma e, até por isso, o treinador resolveu dar mais minutos ao jogador nas partidas recentes.

Soma-se a isso a recuperação de Everton Ribeiro, que entrou bem na etapa final na Bolívia, sendo bem mais participativo e efetivo que o companheiro uruguaio – confira os números dos meias do Flamengo na partida abaixo.

O camisa 7, um dos mais regulares do Flamengo no último ano, recuperou-se das dores no joelho esquerdo e acirra a briga no setor ofensivo. Por outro lado, Abel Braga voltou a perder Berrío na véspera do duelo, desta vez por conta de dores na coxa esquerda. O atacante colombiano é dúvida para a sequência.

Brownlie and Watling shine during low-key start

ScorecardMartin Guptill eased to 25 before he was caught down the leg side•Getty Images

It is probably fitting that this tour had a low-key start: an encounter which seems destined to be overshadowed by Ashes hyperbole and Champions Trophy marketing began quarter-of-an-hour late due to rain, in front of a modest-sized crowd on a grey morning in Derby against a second string attack.Poor New Zealand. While they welcomed England’s Test squad to their country by staging a game in Queenstown, with its wonderful view of The Remarkables, they have been welcomed to England by a trip to Derby’s county ground, with its slightly less wonderful view of the roof of Virgin Active.Still, they won’t much worry about that. After proving every bit the worthy adversary when they had the best of the 0-0 draw against England in New Zealand, their squad is back up to full strength, with Brendon McCullum having arrived on Friday and Ross Taylor on Saturday.Neither was included in the team for this game, though. With a view to allowing several fringe players an opportunity, New Zealand also left out Trent Boult and Tim Southee. Both are fit and both might have benefited from an opportunity with the unfamiliar Dukes ball. All four senior players will have only one game – the Lions match at Grace Road – to acclimatise.Only three of the likely New Zealand team to play at Lord’s have previously played Tests in England, so it was no surprise to see Gemma Broad, one of the England team’s analysts, taking the opportunity to video the New Zealand players in action with a view to formulating plans for them.This was a gentle start to the tour against a Derbyshire attack as green as the outfield. It contained two seamers making their first-class debuts for the county – Alasdair Evans and Matt Higginbottom – a spinner, Peter Burgoyne, with 10 first-class victims, an allrounder, Ross Whiteley, who looks bereft of confidence and a 27-year-old left-arm fast bowler, Mark Fottitt, who remains long on potential but a frustratingly short of achievement. If the BCCI presented such an attack to England in a warm-up game, there might well be cries of foul.As it was, Footitt proved a tricky proposition and the New Zealanders were obliged to dig themselves out of a bit of a hole in conditions where, at first anyway, the ball moved in the air and off the pitch.Footitt, who has never achieved consistency but has pace and swing, reduced them to 126 for 4, dismissing Peter Fulton, playing across one that swung into him, leg before, before Kane Williamson edged one angled across him that did not swing and Martin Guptill, who looked in fine touch on his return to the club he helped to County Championship promotion last year, edged one down the leg side. Evans, a tall seamer who has played ODIs for Scotland, removed Hamish Rutherford’s middle stump with one that nipped back off the pitch.Dean Brownlie and BJ Watling revived New Zealand with a fifth-wicket stand of 116 in 30 overs. Brownlie, strong off the back foot, and Watling, strong off the front, progressed smoothly against the support bowling. While Evans, strong and disciplined, looked as if he could have a decent future at this level, Higginbottom, who has played previously for Leeds-Bradford MCCU, struggled and was struck for three boundaries in his first over by the impressive Guptill, while there was little assistance for the spinners.These were useful runs for Brownlie. He endured a modest series against England in New Zealand and faces a fight to retain his place in the light of Guptill’s return but, having pulled and driven nicely, was punished for flashing outside off stump and edged behind.An early declaration provided the New Zealand bowlers a first opportunity in English conditions. While each of them demonstrated pace, there was little need for the Derbyshire openers to play and progress was, if slow, relatively straightforward until the final delivery of the day. Chesney Hughes, fresh from unbeaten 270 against Yorkshire earlier in the week, hooked Doug Bracewell for a six but was beaten for pace by a full delivery from Neil Wagner to bring the day to a close. New Zealand could feel satisfied with the start, but will know there are stiffer challenges to come very soon.
