Jason Holder’s mental strength was on display on the third day against Australia in Kingston, where he scored an unbeaten 82 despite what he called “a lot of chirping” from the Australians

Daniel Brettig in Kingston14-Jun-2015Jason Holder’s toughness was on display twice on day three. First of all he demonstrated it in the morning with an innings of real chutzpah, taking West Indies past the follow-on by clattering Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon with fearless intent as well as the natural leverage provided by his considerable height.An equally striking impression was to be provided at day’s end when Holder spoke about the series and his encounters with an Australian side seldom shy of being aggressive in word and deed. Holder was harried by both these avenues throughout his 82, but spoke boldly of how much he enjoyed the verbal sparring.He even went as far as saying there should be more of it at international level, and that he had fed on it for motivation across both these Test matches. Holder is clearly made of stern stuff, and has earned the respect of his Australian opponents for the way he has carried himself in a pair of lopsided contests.”You get a lot of chirping – they’re that type of team,” Holder said of Australia. “They’re always at you, whether they’re bowling or just at you verbally. You expect that from the Australians, and that’s what they thrive on, so for me personally I just try to stay in the game and try to feed off it as much as possible.”I think they get tired at some stage. But there’s always someone in your ear at some stage of the game. But I love it, that’s cricket. I don’t think it would be international cricket without it, it’s something that should be done more often – obviously in a very discreet way – and I think that’s part of the game and I look forward to it. There’s always a chance for us to give it, and that’s cricket, you give it and you get it.”Holder’s attitude is also typified by the way he has taken on whatever role the captain Denesh Ramdin has set out for him. Based on technique and temperament there is plenty of evidence to suggest Holder should be batting higher up the order than No. 7, but he did not complain about a posting that left him stranded 18 runs short of a hundred when Hazlewood winkled out the last two wickets.”It’s whatever the team requires,” he said. “I’m pretty much able to do whatever the team wants me to do and I’m one of those players who tries not to give up and try to give a big effort whatever. If the captain decides that he needs me up the order I’ll do it.”I back my technique. It’s more mental than anything. I just need to apply myself more mentally to get through any situation. The Australians as a team come at you really hard and I think once you get over the chirp from the boys, it’s a lot easier as it goes on.”My mental game is improving each game. It’s been very tough physically, I’ve been going since November last year, we’ve been playing cricket straight through. So it’s been pretty taxing on the body and a challenge to motivate myself day in, day out. But I can say one thing that’s improving is my mental game and I’m very pleased that I can stand here today after each day’s play still standing.”Towards the end of a season that also featured Holder leading the ODI team to the World Cup down under amid a hail of criticism about team selections, he said he took great encouragement from the words of the latest ICC Hall of Fame inductee Wes Hall in his speech at the WIPA awards before this match. Hall’s resilience and energy have stayed with Holder, who showed similar qualities at Sabina Park on day three.”It was very inspirational for me,” he said. “He’s one of the few people who could talk for a very long time and still draw your attention. It’s not the first time I’ve sat and heard him speak. He’s very inspirational for me, and to see the things he’s achieved and the path he’s taken in life is just inspirational for me. You can take a lot from it.”Spoken like a future Test captain.

Chaminda Vaas will not continue as Sri Lanka’s fast bowling coach, after his contract lapsed at the end of April, Sri Lanka Cricket has said

Andrew Fidel Fernando30-Apr-2015Chaminda Vaas will not continue as Sri Lanka’s fast bowling coach, after his contract lapsed at the end of April, Sri Lanka Cricket has said. The board acknowledged the work Vaas had done with Sri Lanka’s burgeoning battery of pace bowlers, but negotiations between the board and coach did not result in a fresh contract.”Chaminda Vaas’ contract lapsed today 30th of April 2015, and on a mutual agreement it was decided not to go for an extension of the said contract,” an official release said.Vaas had been appointed fast bowling coach in early 2013, and has overseen a World T20 victory and a Test series win in England during his tenure, with Sri Lanka’s quicks having played a significant role in both those results. The seamers had been underwhelming in recent limited overs tours, however, including in the World Cup.For his part, Vaas had also appeared somewhat disillusioned with his role during Sri Lanka’s recent stretch in Australia and New Zealand. In March he had suggested he would not continue as coach after the World Cup.SLC is aiming to have a new fast-bowling coach in place well before Pakistan’s tour of Sri Lanka begins in mid-June. Champaka Ramanayake, who was the national team’s fast-bowling coach before Vaas, is favoured to reprise his role, only, his family situation has prevented him from touring over the past year. As Sri Lanka’s next three assignments are at home, however, there is a chance Ramanayake will be appointed fast-bowling coach on a temporary basis, to begin with.Vaas is Sri Lanka’s most successful seamer, with 355 Test scalps to his name. The likes of Shaminda Eranga, Suranga Lakmal and Nuwan Pradeep had appeared to make significant advances over the past two years, but Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara have also been less effective recently, during Vaas’ watch.

Getty10Bruno Fernandes

It is impossible to doubt the creativity and impact that Bruno Fernandes has had on Manchester United over the last 12 months.

Not only has the Portugal international returned 18 goals and 15 assists in the last calendar year to date, but he has transformed his club as a leader on and off the pitch.

Kylian Mbappe ended last season as the top scorer in Ligue 1 for the third year running, while he also won the French top-flight's Player of the Year Award.

However, even after failing to win the league, it was the Champions League where the 22-year-old really made a name for himself.

A series of clutch performances in the knockout rounds ultimately ended in disappointment, as Manchester City knocked out PSG, but Mbappe still made a statement.

Getty8Joshua Kimmich

Joshua Kimmich is the heartbeat of Bayern Munich's midfield, but equally performs as one of the best right-backs in the world when moving out to play in defence.

The versatile leader of the German champions has marked himself out as arguably the most consistent performer in the Bundesliga in recent history.

Getty7Karim Benzema

Ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid, Karim Benzema has stepped up to become the club's talisman.

The France international's goals were crucial to Los Blancos' push to win the Champions League and La Liga.

Although they fell short in both, it was through no fault of the 33-year-old, who has continued his good form this season with 11 goals and eight assists in his first 13 games.

Former Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales has been accused of "inappropriately touching" England players after the Women's World Cup final.

Rubiales accused by FA chair Debbie HewittHe also allegedly forcibly kissed Jenni HermosoRubiales has hit back at allegationWHAT HAPPENED?

According to new documents released by FIFA, to support their decision to ban Rubiales for three years over his alleged forced kiss on Jenni Hermoso and conduct at the World Cup final, Rubiales behaved inappropriately towards both Lucy Bronze and Laura Coombs. Debbie Hewitt, the Football Association's chair, alleges that Rubiales "cupped and stroked" Coombs' face, and "seemingly forcefully kissed Lucy Bronze on her face".

In addition to his alleged kiss on Hermoso, Hewitt also claimed that Rubiales' behaviour towards the Spanish team made her "deeply uncomfortable and embarrassed", as she stood just metres away from the former head of the Spanish Football Federation. Hewitt claims that she did not see any evidence that the kiss with Hermoso was consensual, although he has denied sexually assaulting the player.

WHAT RUBIALES SAID

Rubiales has issued a fierce rebuke to the claims, insisting that Hewitt's allegations are "astonishing".

He added: “Applying the same logic she [Hewitt] used, that [hugging] could be understood as a forceful non-consensual physical contact. The hypocrisy is blatant."

He also claims he was merely trying to comfort Coombs, who did not play in the final due to an injury.

Rubiales resigned in September, but will await the verdict of the investigation from FIFA to discover whether his three-year ban is ratified. It remains to be seen if FIFA will release any further testimony.

The Frenchman could have been an all-time great but made one bad decision after another, culminating in a failed drugs test

In Robert De Niro's brilliant 'A Bronx Tale', the movie's young protagonist, Calogero 'C' Anello, comes to realise, "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent, and the choices that you make will shape your life forever."

Paul Pogba is a perfect case in point. He was once the most expensive player on the planet. He should have become its best too. Italy icon Gianluigi Buffon said he used to leave Juventus' players "open-mouthed" with his mix of imposing physique and outrageous technique, while the great Ronaldinho tipped Pogba to win the Ballon d'Or.

So, when the Frenchman rejoined Manchester United in 2016, 'The Theatre of Dreams' offered him the opportunity to realise his – and yet Pogba now looks finished at the very highest level, a victim of his own dreadful decision-making.

Indeed, after seeing his career derailed by injuries and ill-discipline, it's unlikely he'll ever get back on track after being hit with a four-year ban for failing an anti-doping test.

Getty ImagesPogba's time at the top is over

The overriding emotion surrounding Thursday's news of Pogba's suspension is sadness.

One of the game's most gifted players may never play top-flight football again – and even if he does, he will never perform anything close to the level he achieved during his early years at Juventus or during his time with the France national team.

However, there is no getting away from the fact that in Turin right now there is an unmistakable air of relief.

Because it was clear even before the news broke of Pogba's failed drugs test that his best days were behind him, his colossal salary having long since become an albatross around the neck of an already cash-strapped club.

AdvertisementGettyThe beginning of the end

Back in the summer of 2022, Juve had been understandably overjoyed at managing to sign Pogba from United on a free transfer for the second time. The midfielder had jumped at the chance to start over. In reality, though, it was merely the beginning of the end of his time at the top.

Pogba continued to be plagued by injury issues. And the terrible thing was that many people believed that he only had himself to blame. In a desperate – and futile – bid to represent France at the 2022 World Cup, he decided against undergoing knee surgery at the start of August 2022, which proved a catastrophic call, as the "conservative therapy" he instead opted for ultimately did nothing but delay the requisite operation – and recovery time.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri continued to support Pogba in public but his frustration was obvious. The fans were hardly happy either. By Christmas, Pogba still hadn't made his 'second debut' for Juventus and yet he nonetheless felt compelled to post a picture of himself on a ski slope during the festive period.

At best, it was ill-advised, a clumsy failure to read the room. In the eyes of the fans, though, it screamed of a lack of respect – one of the dominant themes of Pogba's career.

Getty Images'I don't think he showed us any respect'

Indeed, Sir Alex Ferguson was enraged by the way in which Pogba conducted himself during his Old Trafford exit in 2012.

Granted, part of that was down to the infamous super-agent Mino Raiola, whom Ferguson despised. The Scot admitted that they were like "water and oil" and took an immediate dislike to one another. In that sense, a parting of the ways was perhaps inevitable.

Ferguson was renowned for exerting a father-like influence on his players – which was never going to fly with Raiola, who was in possession of a prodigious talent with an expiring contract. There was more money to be made in finding a new club for his much-coveted client.

However, it's worth remembering that Ferguson also said of Pogba specifically, "I don't think he showed us any respect at all, to be honest."

Pogba was still only 19 at the time but such accusations were nothing new, given he'd left his two previous clubs, Torcy and Le Havre, in equally acrimonious circumstances.

Getty Images'There is an agenda against Paul'

Of course, there's nothing wrong with a young player wanting to play for a bigger or better club and while it's hard not to wonder how much a teenage Pogba might have benefited from another year of Ferguson's tutelage, particularly in terms of his temperament, the biggest mistake the Frenchman made was not leaving United – but returning.

It may have been the right move in Pogba's eyes, but it was very much the wrong time.

Firstly, Juve were still on the rise. They managed to reach the 2017 Champions League final without him – but who knows what they could have accomplished if they'd held onto a prime Pogba?

Secondly, Pogba wasn't rejoining Ferguson's United – but Jose Mourinho's, and while the outspoken Portuguese publicly supported Pogba throughout their first season together, the pair's relationship deteriorated rapidly in 2018, ultimately contributing to the manager's dismissal in December of that same year.

For a short while under Mourinho's far less authoritarian successor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, it appeared that Pogba might belatedly realise his potential. The Norwegian even claimed, "There is an agenda against Paul but he is a top, top bloke. He is a great professional, there have never been any problems and he has got a heart of gold."

And yet Pogba – and his agent – continually disrespected United with talk of transfers and new challenges away from Old Trafford.

Defending champions Australia enter the tournament with much to protect, but with a glaring weakness against the new ball, it will be a difficult road ahead

The Preview by Brydon Coverdale06-Jun-2013OverviewUnlike the glory days of the late 1990s and early 2000s, there isn’t much global silverware currently held by the Australians. But the Champions Trophy is still in their possession, and has been since 2006. Whether it remains theirs depends on how Michael Clarke and his men handle the next few weeks. And they will need to come to grips with the conditions better than they did during their ODI series in England last year, when they were trounced 4-0. It was their heaviest ever defeat in a bilateral one-day series. Notably, though, their best batsman on that trip was George Bailey, who has been promoted to vice-captain for this Champions Trophy.The challenge for Australia is to keep their eyes on the immediate prize, rather than letting their minds wander to the upcoming Ashes series, in which seven members of the Champions Trophy squad will be taking part. Clarke has spoken of the importance of the one-day tournament in giving Australia confidence ahead of the Ashes, although the four-day warm-up games against Somerset and Worcestershire will be of greater relevance. Still, they will be especially happy if one or two players who have struggled in Test cricket of late – Shane Watson and Phillip Hughes, for example – take the chance to pile up some runs ahead of the Tests, regardless of format.The Australians have selected a very different squad from that which bowed out in the quarter-finals of the most recent major ODI tournament, the 2011 World Cup. Gone are Ricky Ponting, Brad Haddin, Michael and David Hussey, Brett Lee, Shaun Tait and others. In their place are an exciting group of multi-skilled young men who should form part of the national limited-overs team for many years to come, such as James Faulkner, Mitchell Marsh, Nathan Coulter-Nile and Glenn Maxwell. Whether they can display the consistency to win a major tournament is the big question.Australia will hope James Faulkner takes an immediate liking to English surroundings•BCCIKey playerAt the last Champions Trophy, Shane Watson started slowly – he made ducks in his first two games, but finished with the biggest bang imaginable, with unbeaten centuries in the semi-final against England and the final against New Zealand. Australia’s Test side has suffered due to Watson’s lack of runs in the past two years, but he has remained reasonably productive in the limited-overs format. His IPL form – 543 runs at 38.78 – was encouraging as well. Ahead of the Ashes it will also be important for Watson to continue increasing his bowling workload after resuming in the IPL.Surprise packageIt is starting to look as if 2013 might be James Faulkner’s breakout year. Faulkner, 23, made his ODI debut against West Indies in February and proved himself a capable and feisty bowling allrounder. That should have been no surprise, for Faulkner has won the Ricky Ponting Medal as Tasmania’s best player in each of the past three seasons, which has been a period of exceptional strength for the state side. A left-arm medium-fast bowler with a good change of pace, Faulkner continued his strong year by sitting second on the IPL wicket tally with 28 at 15.25 for Rajasthan Royals. After being named in the Ashes squad earlier this year, Faulkner said he had never been to England. The Australians are hoping he takes an immediate liking to the surroundings.WeaknessAs in Test cricket, the moving ball remains a problem for Australia’s batsmen, which was clear during the one-dayers in England last year. Never was it more obvious, though, than during their disastrous 74-all-out batting first against Sri Lanka at the Gabba in January, when Nuwan Kulasekara and Lasith Malinga ran through them in 26.4 overs. Five days earlier they had been skittled for 170. Watson, David Warner, Phillip Hughes, Clarke and Bailey are potentially a very strong top five, but they will face swinging conditions in this tournament. How they handle them will not only determine their success in the Champions Trophy, but will provide a pointer to the Ashes.Champions Trophy historyIn 2009, Ponting led Australia to the title in South Africa, successfully defending the prize they had won by beating West Indies in India in 2006. In fact, not since the days when the tournament was called the ICC Knock Out – back in 2000 – have Australia failed to reach the semi-finals. They enter the tournament on an eight-match Champions Trophy winning streak, having last been defeated by West Indies in their opening game of the 2006 edition.Recent formAustralia sit third on the ICC one-day international rankings and the 2012 battle against England was the only series they have lost since the 2011 World Cup. However, they were pushed at home by Sri Lanka earlier this year and had to settle for a 2-2 series, before they swept a listless West Indies 5-0.

Hashim Amla will make his international captaincy debut against Australia having been named as stand-in for the injured AB de Villiers

Firdose Moonda03-Oct-2011Hashim Amla will make his international captaincy debut for South Africa in their upcoming T20 and ODI series against Australia. He replaces the injured AB de Villiers, who was named captain in both limited-overs formats in June. The series were due to be de Villiers’ first as skipper but he was ruled out for between four and six weeks after breaking a finger while practicing with the Royal Challengers Bangalore during the Champions League.Amla was chosen as de Villiers’ vice-captain but there was speculation that he would not captain the side straight away, having never done the job before, and described himself as “more of a backroom guy.” But the selectors have shown faith in their decisions and handed Amla the leadership role in both formats. Amla has only played three T20s for South Africa, but has plenty of experience in ODIs, having played 49 matches and is currently ranked the top batsman in the 50-over format.de Villiers’ absence also meant that South Africa had to search for a new wicketkeeper and have turned to an old favourite. Mark Boucher has been recalled to the ODI side having last played an ODI on South Africa’s tour of West Indies in May last year. He was left out of the squad that took part in the World Cup earlier and had made public his desire to return to the limited-overs format of the game, insisting he has plenty of offer in that department. Heino Kuhn has been named wicketkeeper for the T20s while Morne van Wyk, who took part in the World Cup and can bat in the top five, has been excluded from both squads.Andrew Hudson, the convenor of selectors, doesn’t believe the one-day squad needs to be tampered with much, despite the disappointing World Cup campaign where South Africa crashed out in the quarter-finals. Boucher’s inclusion will beef up the middle order along with David Miller, who replaces Colin Ingram. There are plenty of options in the bowling department, with all three spinners who did duty in the World Cup being retained, but no space for Albie Morkel who is only in the T20 squad.”We will probably go in with seven batsmen, including Boucher at No. 7, and we have kept all our bowling options that worked well at the World Cup,” Hudson said. “We will be able to go in with four specialist bowlers plus the back-up of Kallis, JP Duminy and Faf du Plessis.”The only new cap is in the T20 squad which includes Cobras opening batsman Richard Levi. He has had an impressive run of form domestically and scored 43 off 27 balls in the team’s Champions League opener against New South Wales. With the mix of youth and experience in the T20 squad Jacques Kallis and Dale Steyn are being rested.Both are taking part in the ongoing Champions League, and have enjoyed five months away from cricket since the end of the IPL, but Hudson said leaving them out was part of CSA’s rotation policy. Imran Tahir, who burst onto the international scene at the World Cup, and took 17 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 16.88 for Hampshire in the English Friends Life t20 domestic tournament, has not been included in the T20 squad.”With the ICC World Twenty20 less than a year away we need to keep a solid core of experience around the side,” Hudson said. “At the same time we want to give younger players a run as well and this certainly applies in the case of Richard Levi and David Miller. We don’t have a lot of T20 International matches before the ICC event so it is important that we give the likes of Levi, Miller and Colin Ingram an extended run.”Graeme Smith, who stepped down as T20 captain in August last year and ODI captain after the World Cup, and batted for the first time in a competitive match after having knee surgery for the first time on Saturday, has been named in both squads.South Africa’s series against Australia starts with a T20 on October 13 in Cape Town and that will be followed by another T20 in Johannesburg then three ODIs. The two-Test series starts on November 7 and the Test squad will be announced after three more rounds of SuperSport Series matches.ODI squad Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, Mark Boucher, JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, Jacques Kallis, David Miller, Morne Morkel , Wayne Parnell, Robin Peterson, Graeme Smith, Dale Steyn, Lonwabo TsotsobeT20 squad Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, JP Duminy, Colin Ingram, Heino Kuhn, Richard Levi, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell , Robin Peterson, Graeme Smith, Rusty Theron, Lonwabo Tsotsobe

Kluivert scored against Sheffield UnitedSet a unique scoring record with BournemouthPowered the Cherries to a 3-1 winWHAT HAPPENED?

After joining Bournemouth in the summer, Kluivert became the first Dutch player to play in each of the top five European leagues. Now, the 24-year-old became just the second player, after Stevan Jovetic, to have scored at least once in each of the top five domestic leagues in Europe in the 21st century after getting on the scoresheet against Sheffield United.

Just before the half-time whistle, Kluivert doubled Bournemouth's lead after dispossessing Wes Foderingham outside the box. After the keeper was pickpocketed, the forward passed the ball into an empty net to silence the home crowd.

AdvertisementGettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite being just 24, Kluivert has been a journeyman. After starting his professional career with Ajax, he moved to AS Roma in Serie A in 2018. After two seasons in the Italian capital, he was sent out on loan at RB Leipzig, Nice, and Valencia in the next three campaigns. After joining the Cherries in the summer, he scored his first Premier League goal, and second across all competitions, which helped him achieve the unique feat in European football.

DID YOU KNOW?

Florin Raducioiu was the first player in history to find the net in Germany, England, Spain, Italy and France but he did that in the 20th century. In 2021, Jovetic became the second player to match the feat after he scored for Hertha Berlin against Cologne, and the first to do it in this century.

Kluivert played a crucial role in Bournemouth's 3-1 win over Sheffield along with Marcus Tavernier who scored the other two. It was a much-needed three points for Andoni Iraola's troops which propelled them to the 16th position in the league table. They are set to host Aston Villa in their next match on December 3 in the Premier League.

Warwickshire are expected to confirm Dougie Brown, their assistant coach and Academy director, on Thursday morning

George Dobell30-Jan-2013Warwickshire are expected to confirm Dougie Brown, their assistant coach and Academy director, on Thursday morning as the successor to Ashley Giles as their new director of cricket.Brown has fought off other leading candidates for the job such as Graeme Welch, his former Warwickshire team-mate and the county’s bowling coach, and the West Indies coach Ottis Gibson, who has also been discussing the details of a promised new contract with the national side.Brown, who worked in close association with Giles as Warwickshire won the Championship last summer, and also reached the final of the CB40, is a former England and Scotland allrounder who can be sure to bring a passionate approach to the role. He is also a former PCA chairman.Other candidates for the Warwickshire role included David Parsons, the ECB performance director, David Hemp, former Glamorgan and Bermuda captain and now coaching at Solihull School and Andy Moles, the former Scotland, Kenya and New Zealand coach, who was discounted before the interview stage.

Richard Pybus has resigned from his current position as the head coach of Cape Cobras with immediate effect.

Firdose Moonda24-Mar-2012Richard Pybus has resigned from his current position as the head coach of Cape Cobras with immediate effect. Pybus was in charge of the Cape Town-based franchise for two seasons during which they won three titles.”There are a range of issues to do with the chief executive and the franchise that have undermined me as head coach and made my continued position untenable,” Pybus said. “I won’t be making any further media comment at this stage.”Although Cobras won this season’s Franchise 1-Day Cup, they failed to defend their first-class and Twenty20 titles. They also failed to qualify for the Champions League T20 after finishing fifth in the MiWay T20 Challenge.The Cobras chief executive Andre Odendaal and the board will discuss Pybus’ resignation at a meeting on Monday evening, after which they will issue a response.Pybus has had two stints as coach of Pakistan. He has previously coached the Titans franchise, based in Centurion, where he also enjoyed success. He also had a brief stint at Middlesex but made his name at Border, in the Eastern Cape, where he played an instrumental role in developing Mark Boucher.Edited by Devashish Fuloria
