Victoria bowling coach Mick Lewis is on his last warning from the Bushrangers after being fined $2,266 for ball tampering during the Sheffield Shield final

Daniel Brettig in Adelaide28-Mar-2016

Victoria’s bowling coach Mick Lewis is on his last behavioural warning from the Bushrangers after being fined $2,266 for tampering with the ball on day three of the Sheffield Shield final against South Australia at Glenelg Oval.In the 10th over of SA’s second innings Mark Cosgrove struck a boundary, and a Cricket Australia video camera captured Lewis kicked the match ball into the gutter beyond the boundary rope before he scraped the ball across the concrete when retrieving it.When the ball was returned to the field after another boundary in the 12th over, it was inspected by the umpires, Paul Wilson and Mick Martell. They decided that the ball’s condition had been changed illegally and added five runs to South Australia’s second innings score. A substitute ball was then called for. After play Lewis admitted to his offence and the match referee Steve Bernard imposed the fine without needing to hold a code of conduct hearing.”Ball tampering is a very serious offence and simply won’t be tolerated at any level of the game,” CA head of cricket operations Sean Cary said. “Match Referee Steve Bernard addressed the matter as soon as it was brought to his attention, spoke at length to Mick Lewis about it and has handed down the subsequent penalty.”We acknowledge that he has apologised to the South Australian team and the match officials and hope the matter deters others from doing anything like this in the future.”Lewis, who had a mixed disciplinary record during his time as a pace bowler for Victoria and occasionally Australia, was also spoken to by the CV chief executive Tony Dodemaide and the chairman Russell Thomas. Dodemaide said Lewis would be in serious trouble if he transgressed again.”Cricket Victoria does not condone any action to gain an unfair advantage in any form, we’re committed to playing fair cricket in the spirit of the game,” Dodemaide said. “Myself and Cricket Victoria chairman Russell Thomas immediately spoke to Mick and he has apologised unreservedly and understands that this reflects unfairly on the Bushrangers and all of Victorian cricket.”Mick pleaded guilty to Cricket Australia’s code of behaviour breach and has also accepted a severe reprimand, imposed upon him as a Cricket Victoria employee, and assured us that actions such as this will not happen again. Mick also went personally to South Australian coach Jamie Siddons and apologised after the day’s play.”Victorian coach David Saker was extremely disappointed in Mick’s actions and also that he cost the side five runs in what could be a very close match. We believe that Mick will learn a valuable lesson from this and understands this type of behaviour will not be tolerated.”Both sides have been penalised for ball tampering in recent years. In 2010, Aaron Finch was fined and the Bushrangers penalised for an instance of tampering against South Australia at Adelaide Oval. The umpires found markings on the ball at the end of the second day’s play and initially reported the entire Victoria team before it was concluded that Finch had been responsible.In 2014, the then Redbacks captain Johan Botha was suspended for one match after he pleaded guilty to “repeated inappropriate conduct relating to the condition of the match ball” during a drawn match with New South Wales, also in Adelaide.

Australia are hopeful a well-grassed Adelaide Oval pitch will provide enough assistance for the hosts’ fast bowlers to dismantle Pakistan and thus prevent their own strong pace battery from doing likewise in the third World Cup quarter-final.The captain Michael Clarke and the national selector Rod Marsh were seen in lengthy consultation with the oval groundsman Damian Hough on match eve, Clarke having already expressed his hope that no more grass would be shaved from the surface ahead of Friday’s contest. Ground staff also watered the pitches either side of the match strip, reducing the chances of reverse-swing emanating from the abrasive parts of the square.With the possible exception of New Zealand and South Africa, the match will be a meeting of the World Cup’s two strongest fast-bowling units. Australia will choose one of Pat Cummins or Josh Hazlewood to support Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson, while Pakistan have the tournament’s fast bowler in Wahab Riaz, backed up by Sohail Khan, Rahat Ali and Ehsan Adil. Batsmen on both sides may be in for some hopping around.”Pakistan have some really good quicks in their attack and they’ve shown that throughout this series,” Clarke said. “I think the pitch has certainly got quicker over the years. I think fast bowling will play a big part tomorrow. Especially if they leave that grass on the wicket like there is now, fingers crossed. But I think both teams have good fast bowlers in their line-ups. So the batters, we’re going to have to make sure we play really well.”Two good attacks on a wicket that looks like it’s got a bit of grass on it. It’s going to be tough for the batters but Australia in general. If you do get in as a batsman it’s a wonderful place to bat, it’s just starting your innings is always difficult. I don’t care if it’s 71 plays 70 to be honest, as long as we get the 71, or it’s 350 plays 349, the numbers are irrelevant for me.”Pakistan’s captain Misbah-ul-Haq has preached aggression ever since his side’s surprise success against South Africa in Auckland, and he said this would be particularly important against Australia. As England might also be able to attest, it is impossible to just muddle through and play reactively against the team led by Clarke and the coach Darren Lehmann – they must be attacked.”Australia always plays aggressive cricket, and if you want to really be up there against them, you also need a good, aggressive cricket, good, positive cricket, and that is the key,” Misbah said. “If two teams are playing aggressive cricket, you still have a chance. It’s not like that you go with the defensive approach against Australia and you can just win the game. It’s all about aggression. It’s all about attacking cricket, and that’s, I think, what we are looking forward to.”Clarke shuffled Australia’s batting order in their final group game against Scotland to allow himself and several other players some additional time in the middle. For this match it is expected to be back to the configuration glimpsed against Sri Lanka at the SCG, with David Warner and Aaron Finch followed by Steven Smith and Clarke before Glenn Maxwell and Shane Watson are used at Nos. 5 or 6 depending on the match scenario.”Finchy and Davey will go back to opening, and then we’ll assess,” Clarke said. “I think against Sri Lanka … Maxi came in at 5, but he was down to bat at 6. It was just the situation of the game that we changed the order. I think our order is pretty flexible, so, like I said, apart from the top two that will open the batting and have done so really throughout the whole tournament apart from one game to try to give a few people a hit, the rest is very flexible.”We’ll work out the situation of the game, batting first, batting second and assess. And I think that’s one of our great strengths that we’ve got a number of guys that have batted in different positions through their career and have enjoyed some success in different positions as well. So it’s a good problem to have.”Less pleasing for Australia is the thought of elimination from their home World Cup at the earliest knockout stage. To lose to Pakistan in Adelaide would be more or less the equivalent result to 1992, when they missed the semi-finals due largely to a defeat at the hands of Imran Khan’s men in Perth. Clarke put himself through an extended fielding and catching session after his chat with Marsh, having earlier acknowledged the gravity of the occasion.”We have to treat this like a World Cup final now,” he said. “It’s a crucial game – you lose and you are sitting and watching the rest of the tournament, so we’re just focused on having success tomorrow.”

Upul Tharanga will lead a 16-man Sri Lanka A squad on a limited-overs tour of England and Ireland in July. They are slated to participate in a one-day tri-series involving England Lions and New Zealand A, before facing Ireland in a three-match bout, the last of which is on August 22. Four fifty-over games with county sides will gear them for the tour.Tharanga, who has been in and out of the Sri Lanka limited-overs outfit, was reprised as captain despite losing the three-match unofficial Test series to England Lions in February at home.Big-hitting allrounder Thisara Perera will serve as Tharanga’s deputy. Perera, along with Ashan Priyanjan, Chaturanga de Silva and Kusal Perera was part of the senior squad which defeated England 3-2 in the ODI series recently.Sri Lanka A squad Upul Tharanga (capt), Thisara Perera (vice-capt), Dushmantha Chameera, Chaturanga de Silva, Niroshan Dickwella, Vishwa Fernando, Lahiru Gamage, Danushka Gunathilaka, Sachith Pathirana, Kusal Perera, Priyamal Perera, Seekuge Prasanna, Ashan Priyanjan, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Ramith Rambukwella, Mahela Udawatte

O São Paulo venceu mais uma partida no Campeonato Paulista. Dessa vez a vítima foi o Audax, na última sexta-feira, em Cotia. O placar de 1 a 0, com gol de cabeça de Alisson, não refletiu a superioridade do time da casa que, com o resultado, se manteve na liderança do Grupo 4 do estadual.

Com o domínio da partida e dono dos lances mais perigosos, o Tricolor terminou a primeira etapa tendo acertado a trave do adversário em três oportunidades: Gabriel Sara, logo no primeiro minuto de jogo, Rodrigo Nestor aos 19, e o Wellington, antes de o duelo ir para o intervalo.

Na volta, o técnico Orlando Ribeiro fez três mudanças de uma vez e por pouco a estratégia não deu resultado logo de cara. Fabinho pegou rebote e novamente a trave impediu que os são-paulinos abrissem o placar em Cotia. Pouco depois, aos 15 minutos da etapa final, Rafael acertou belo chute, porém dessa vez a bola parou em grande defesa do goleiro do Audax.

A insistência, no entanto, deu certo. Aos 23 minutos, Alisson, que entrou logo após o intervalo, aproveitou rebote de uma bola na trave, mais uma vez, e estufou a rede com o um gol de cabeça, finalmente colocando o São Paulo em vantagem no marcador. O time mandante ainda teve outras boas chances de ampliar o placar, porém acabou confirmando a vitória simples.

O resultado levou o Tricolor aos 24 pontos em 12 jogos, garantindo mais uma rodada na liderança do Grupo 4 do Campeonato Paulista sub-20. A equipe volta a campo na próxima quarta-feira, às 15h, para enfrentar o São Bento, em Porto Feliz, no CT do Desportivo Brasil, pela 13ª Rodada da competição.

This year’s IPL auction takes on increased significance for county cricket and Northamptonshire are the latest club to confirm they will have a vested interest on February 12

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Jan-2014This year’s IPL auction takes on increased significance for English cricket and Northamptonshire are the latest county to confirm they will have a vested interest on February 12.The ECB has opened up a bigger window for their centrally contracted players and many counties have also relaxed their stance on IPL participation, despite the prospect of losing players for nearly half of the County Championship season.Northamptonshire have given their full blessing to Azharullah, Steven Crook and their overseas player Jackson Bird to seek IPL deals but losing all three would seriously hamper their chances of retaining a place in Division One of the County Championship for 2015.Crook was a key member of the Northants’ squad that won promotion last season. He took 43 wickets at 26.48 and also averaged 40.16 with the bat. Azharullah did not break into the Championship side until halfway through the campaign but added 25 wickets at 28.68. He also starred with the ball as Northants claimed a fairytale Friends Life t20 triumph, finishing the competition as top wicket-taker with 27 scalps.Losing Bird, who Northants signed for ten Championship and seven T20 games, would rob them of a bowler who has played three Tests for Australia. An IPL clause was included in his contract.But the county can breathe easy over David Willey, the very promising allrounder, who was also the subject of strong interest from several IPL franchises. He has withdrawn from the auction to focus on his fitness ahead of the new county season having suffered with a lower-back injury while in Australia with the England Performance Programme.”We as a club recognise the opportunities offered by the IPL,” the Northamptonshire chief executive, David Smith, said. “We will not stand in the way of the players wanting to take part in the competition, due to the development and financial benefits on offer.”Head coach, David Ripley, added: “The IPL is firmly established in the international cricket calendar and we fully understand the desire for players to be a part of it. We wish the lads well if selected, and if they are, it will give opportunities for others to start the season well for us.”

Sri Lanka Cricket has received six applications for the job of head coach as the deadline closed on Sunday, SLC’s acting CEO Ashley de Silva has said. Current coach Graham Ford will vacate the post due to family reasons when his contract expires in January, meaning Sri Lanka will have a new coach in the year leading up to the 2015 World Cup.Paul Farbrace, who was Sri Lanka’s assistant coach during Trevor Bayliss’ tenure, is believed to be among the applicants. Farbrace resigned after being wounded in the Lahore terrorist attack in March 2009 and joined English county Kent. He is presently the second-team coach of Yorkshire.Among the others who are understood to have applied are Shane Duff, former trainer of the Sri Lanka team, and Ruwan Kalpage, former Sri Lanka spinner and current fielding coach.There have also been attempts by SLC to secure the services of Peter Moores, the former England team coach who is now in charge of Lancashire, and Stephen Fleming, the former New Zealand captain and current coach of Chennai Super Kings.

O confronto entre Náutico e Santa Cruz terá mais um capítulo no ano de 2019 e pela terceira competição diferente, o Campeonato Pernambucano.

Até então, o saldo tem sido mais positivo para o Santa que empatou em 2 a 2 com o rival pelo Nordestão em 2 a 2 além de ter conseguido a vaga na fase seguinte da Copa do Brasil após empate em 0 a 0 no tempo normal e a classificação vindo nas cobranças de pênalti.

Dessa vez, o confronto onde os dois times já estão qualificados as quartas de final vale pela chance de terminar a primeira fase na liderança. Nesse momento, o Timbu tem 18 pontos ganhos na segunda posição enquanto o clube Coral está com 16 unidades logo na sequência da tabela na terceira colocação.

Para que o ganhador desse clássico seja o líder da primeira fase, o Sport não pode superar o Central às 16 h nesse domingo (17).

O Santa Cruz teve uma excelente notícia pensando no novo encontro com seu rival em relação ao atacante Pipico. Isso porque, antes punido com seis jogos pelo TJD pernambucano após expulsão no embate frente ao Petrolina, o clube do Arruda conseguiu efeito suspensivo e o camisa 9 está liberado para atuar.

A mesma empolgação vale para a formação do Náutico em relação aos comandantes do ataque Jorge Henrique e Wallace Pernambucano. Recuperados de contusão, no embate em casa contra o Santa o técnico Márcio Goiano pode optar por utilizá-los desde o princípio.

Sem Gabriel Barbosa, poupado, Uribe e Lincoln, lesionados, a responsabilidade de ser o camisa 9 do Flamengo diante do Vasco, neste sábado pela Taça Rio, deve ser de Vitor Gabriel, de 19 anos, revelação das divisões de base da Gávea. Há 60 dias, o atacante estava disputando a Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior e recebeu a notícia de que integraria o time principal após um jogo da Copinha.

Será o primeiro clássico do promissor centroavante, que, pelos profissionais, soma menos de 90 minutos em campo e foi integrado ao elenco principal em janeiro, a pedido de Abel Braga. A partida contra o Vasco será ás 19h, no Estádio do Maracanã, com transmissão em tempo real do site do LANCE!.

Pelo Nova Iguaçu, Vitor Gabriel chamou a atenção do Flamengo em 2015, após ser decisivo em uma vitória por 3 a 2 sobre o Rubro-Negro no Estadual Sub-15, marcando duas vezes. Logo depois, o jovem foi integrado às divisões de base da Gávea.

Na última temporada, Vitor Gabriel participou das conquistas da Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, Carioca e do Torneio OPG pelo time sub-20 do Fla. Desta forma, o atacante já entrou no radar de grandes clubes europeus. O Flamengo, para se proteger, renovou seu contrato até dezembro de 2022.

Titular da equipe, Gabigol será preservado por Abel por conta do jogo da próxima quarta, no Maraca, contra a LDU, pela fase de grupos da Libertadores. Lincoln, por sua vez, retornou da Seleção Brasileira Sub-20 machucado e desfalcará o Flamengo por mais algumas semanas, enquanto Uribe sofreu uma torção no início desta semana. Na sexta, o colombiano treinou com os companheiros na véspera do clássico, na Gávea, mas não tem presença garantida para o jogo.

يعتزم مويسيس كايسيدو نجم برايتون الانضمام إلى تشيلسي هذا الصيف، وفقًا لتقارير صحفية واردة.

كايسيدو جذب اهتمام عدة أندية، بما في ذلك آرسنال وبايرن ميونخ وكذلك مانشستر يونايتد الإنجليزي.

برايتون سبق ورفض عرضين من آرسنال في فترة الانتقالات لشهر يناير، وأنهى الجانرز اهتمامهم باللاعب البالغ من العمر 21 عامًا لرغبتهم في ضم قائد وست هام ديكلان رايس.

وأشارت “سكاي ألمانيا” إل أن كايسيدو أبلغ بايرن ميونخ بعدم اهتمامه بالانتقال إلى الدوري الألماني، بسبب رغبته في الاستمرار بالدوري الإنجليزي، ويوضح التقرير أن كايسيدو قرر الانتقال إلى صفوف تشيلسي.

وتفيد صحيفة “مترو” البريطانية أنه يعتقد أن برايتون طلب ما لا يقل عن 100 مليون جنيه إسترليني.

وصحيفة “تليجراف” تشير إلى أن تشيلسي يمكن أن يستخدم كونور جالاجر في مفاوضاته مع برايتون لضم كايسيدو، مستغلاً اهتمامهم السابق بلاعبهم.

ويحرص تشيلسي على تعزيز مركز خط الوسط مع اقتراب رحيل الثنائي ماتيو كوفاسيتش ونجولو كانتي، لتدعيم المركز مع إنزو فرنانديز.

The backdrop to the Basin Reserve, one of the most picturesque cricket venues in the world, will change significantly if the go-ahead is given to build a flyover close to one corner of the ground

Andrew McGlashan in Wellington16-Mar-2013The backdrop to the Basin Reserve, one of the most picturesque cricket venues in the world, will change significantly if the go-ahead is given to build a flyover close to one corner of the ground.The project, part of a nation-wide road-improvement scheme, will see an elevated section of road about nine meters high skirt the north of the ground in order to alleviate traffic congestion around the Basin. It is expected to be rubber-stamped later this year although there is strong opposition from those who feel it will ruin the viewing experience while there are also worries over noise and pollution.Most vocal among these is Save the Basin who are lobbying to have the plan shelved. They argue that a tunnel would be a better option or a modification to the current roundabout network around the Basin while they are also worried about the impact on the heritage listed buildings in the area, not just at the cricket ground.”The Transport Agencies own ratings found the development would have negative impacts in seven of the nine categories, particularly the heritage of the area,” Tim Jones, from the Save the Basin campaign, said. “Cities around the world are deciding against flyovers for a host of reasons. We feel there are viable alternatives.”However, if the roadway is constructed it will not impact the ground itself. Cricket Wellington, who have been in long talks about the proposal with the New Zealand Transport Authority (NZTA), have given their support on the basis that suitable shielding be provided to hide the flyover.To that end, the ground is negotiating for a new stand to the left of the current pavilion. It will not be used for spectators – Cricket Wellington say they do not want extra capacity – instead it will provided enhanced player facilities to replace the current dressing rooms that have become outdated.Peter Clinton, the chief executive of Cricket Wellington, said: “The proposed plans for the flyover have always been that any structure would not impact the actual physical boundaries of the Basin. The plans are that it would skirt 20 metres north of the boundary of the ground.”Obviously there are some concerns around the visual impact and noise impact on any sport going on in the ground. The Trust has been very robust in its view on this, and has been from the start, that it won’t necessarily object to the building of the bridge – as it is known – as long as the environment inside the Basin isn’t compromised.”The other current key issue for cricket in Wellington is the allocation of World Cup matches for 2015 event that will be jointly held between New Zealand and Australia. The city have put in a joint bid between the Westpac Stadium, where one-day internationals and Twenty20s are held, and the Basin Reserve who hope to be chosen as a warm-up venue.Although, aesthetically, it would be ideal to have tournament matches at the Basin there is an acceptance that the Westpac is the more suitable location for limited-overs cricket with a larger capacity and floodlights. The construction schedule for the flyover would also have it being built during the World Cup.However, there are some scheduling issues to overcome before the Westpac is guaranteed matches as they are due to host the Rugby 7s during what would be the ICC blackout period around the World Cup and the venue is also used for the Wellington Phoenix football team.
