Barren bowling stocks herald tricky selection

It is going to be a tricky selection because only eight players select themselves. Only two of them are bowlers

Given the lack of alternatives, the selectors are likely to go back to Sreesanth to share the new ball with Zaheer Khan•Associated Press

The Asia Cup champions would have barely reached their homes when they will be told on Saturday whether they are needed for the Tests in Sri Lanka, which begin on July 18. While the bowling attack looks massively uncertain except for Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh, there is one middle-order place available in the XI and two more in the reserves.It is going to be a tricky selection because only eight players select themselves. Only two of them are bowlers. Ashish Nehra doesn’t trust his body enough to play in Tests, Munaf Patel seems to have been rejected, RP Singh’s form has been ordinary, and Praveen Kumar is strictly a limited-overs bowler. That means India will most likely go back to Ishant Sharma and Sreesanth.Amit Mishra is likely to join them in the bowling department. On their last tour to Sri Lanka, India played the two-seamers-two-spinners combination in all three Tests. So there is a possibility India might go with only three seamers and include Pragyan Ojha as the third spinner. The more orthodox approach would be to pick a fourth seamer, but not many have been showing promise. Lack of readymade choices means there could be a surprise or two.Most of the batting choices seem easier by comparison. Virender Sehwag, who was advised 10 days’ rest after he injured himself during the Asia Cup game against Pakistan, is expected to be picked. Rahul Dravid, who missed the South Africa Tests, will surely come back. Sehwag’s injury, though, makes a case for the selection of M Vijay as a back-up opener who can bat in the middle order if required.The other two spots will be contested by Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma and S Badrinath. Dinesh Karthik, who can open, and also be a back-up wicketkeeper, could be a left-field choice. Karthik could also go solely as a reserve keeper in case India go for a 16-man touring party. His fifty in the Asia Cup final has done his chances no harm.It was pretty clear that Yuvraj’s drop from the ODI side had more to do with his fitness than his form (his statistics weren’t all that bad if the IPL was ignored for a moment, admittedly difficult to do in India). It is for the selectors to decide if dropping him from one tournament has sent home the message. There is a possibility of reading too much into his Twitter message, “This elephant is back from injury and ready to rock!”, which links to a photo of his with an elephant statue.Raina, who was part of India’s squad for their last Test, against South Africa, has reason to be hopeful. While his weakness against the short ball is obvious, it cannot be denied that he has been scoring consistently despite that awkwardness. A week after he played a nice cameo in perhaps the most high-pressure situation of his career could be just the right time to draft him in for the longest format.Raina and Yuvraj will be competing with Badri, who played in India’s last Test, and Rohit, who scored two centuries in Zimbabwe before doing a steady job in the Asia Cup. Cheteshwar Pujara, who scored a double-century in India A’s tour of England and followed it up with another ton against Scotland a day before the selection, stands an outside chance.The squad
Certainties: MS Dhoni (wk & capt.), Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan
Batting hopefuls: M Vijay, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, S Badrinath, Rohit Sharma, Dinesh Karthik, Cheteshwar Pujara
Bowling hopefuls: Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha

Rangers: West Ham still keen on Bassey

Rangers defender Calvin Bassey remains on the radar of West Ham United, according to Football Insider. 

The lowdown

In early 2020, while he was still at Leicester City, the Hammers reportedly made an unsuccessful bid for Bassey. The Nigerian ultimately joined Rangers in July of that year on a free transfer, having reached the end of his contract at the King Power Stadium.

He has gone on to make 43 appearances for the Glasgow club and helped them win the Premiership last season. The 22-year-old has just under two-and-a-half years left on his contract at Ibrox and is valued at £900,000 by Transfermarkt.

The latest

A West Ham source has told Football Insider that Bassey is under consideration as the east Londoners look to recruit a left-footed defender in the summer.

They had wanted to bring in a player of that profile last month, but saw ‘multiple bids’ knocked back in that pursuit.

The verdict

This news comes with Bassey’s stock at an all-time high. Having started only three times in the Premiership last season, and four times in the first four months of the current campaign, he has now been selected for 15 consecutive matches.

The 22-year-old has split his appearances between centre-back and left-back, making him an even more valuable part of the squad. The ‘phenomenal’ Nigerian also possesses ‘explosive pace’, in the words of his former coach Steve Beaglehole.

Losing him just months after another young full-back in Nathan Patterson was lured to the Premier League would be a hammer blow for Rangers, for whom only four men have played more top-flight minutes this season than the West Ham transfer target.

Henderson tilts game for Leicestershire

Claude Henderson re-established Leicestershire’s authority with two key wickets in five balls after Surrey had battled their way back in the match

05-Jun-2010

ScorecardClaude Henderson re-established Leicestershire’s authority with two key wickets in five balls after Surrey had battled their way back in the match between the bottom two sides in the County Championship second division at The Oval. Surrey slumped from 110 for 1 to 160 for 6 at the close and now face the prospect of following on on a pitch offering increasing turn.Their prospects had seemed far better when they claimed Leicestershire’s last five wickets for 22 in six overs after lunch, restricting them to a total of 479. And although Arun Harinath was then caught at second slip off Harry Gurney’s fourth ball, Steven Davies and Mark Ramprakash put on a century stand for the second wicket.Davies completed a half-century off 62 balls, but slow left-armer Henderson had already gained psychological successes against Davies and Ramprakash before bagging their wickets. First Davies, who hit 13 fours in his 69, turned Henderson to short square leg, Jigar Naik picking up a sharp catch.Younis Khan took a fortuitous single off his first ball, almost playing on in the process, and Ramprakash (30), edged the last ball of the over to slip. Surrey lost their fourth wicket with the score on 125 when Nathan Buck tumbled low to his left to pull off a brilliant return catch and get rid of Younis.Henderson, who had Rory Hamilton-Brown dropped at slip before he had scored, matched Buck’s effort to get rid of the Surrey captain 10 minutes from the close and in the next over Gareth Batty fell to a catch at short leg.Proceedings had been far more mundane early on, particularly during a first session in which Leicestershire added 104 to their overnight 337 for 4, losing only Jacques du Toit for 81. Tom New, who survived a tough chance to Davies behind the stumps when he had made 27, went on to complete a low-key 50 off 143 balls, and was well supported by Naik in a sixth-wicket stand of 98 in 34 overs.Jade Dernbach, the unlucky bowler when New was reprieved, could count on little assistance from a typically placid Oval pitch, but Surrey’s leading wicket-taker varied his length intelligently to finish with 5 for 87. Naik and Henderson were both bowled by full-length balls while New, who went into the 90s with only his seventh four, attempted to hook Dernbach’s next ball and gloved it to Davies. Offspinner Batty then wrapped up the Leicestershire innings with a sharp caught-and-bowled to dismiss last man Gurney.

Everton likely to sign 2-3 on deadline day

Everton are likely to sign a couple of players on transfer deadline day as the club moves closer to appointing Frank Lampard in the manager’s dugout at Goodison Park.

What’s the word?

This has been a chaotic transfer window for the Toffees and on deadline day this Monday, it’s set to get even crazier.

As well as being on the verge of appointing Lampard, they are set to welcome Donny van de Beek to the club on loan from Manchester United.

But, the new boss won’t stop there in his pursuit of new signings according to reporter Alan Myers.

The journalist was asked on Twitter on Sunday whether the Dutchman would be the club’s final addition but he responded; “I doubt it.”

Myers then added in another tweet: “I’d guess 2 to 3 [signings] maybe.”

Fans buzzing

After all of the protest and rage that has engulfed Goodison this month, it looks as though Everton are set to end the month on a high.

The appointment of Lampard is ambitious and will take the club in a new direction after the previously appointed Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez; two individuals with far more coaching experience under their belts.

However, what Lampard has in common with those two, is a lure, particularly for young English players or footballers looking to get their careers back on track.

Van de Beek perfectly fits that description and with Jesse Lingard and Dele Alli also on the club’s radar, this could be a captivating finish to the window.

Myers doesn’t mention who may follow the Man United midfielder through the door but the fact that Lampard is wasting no time in looking to strengthen his squad should be music to the ears of supporters.

After all, this is a team that sit in 16th place in the Premier League after just one win in their last 14 top-flight encounters.

Corinthians joga mal, mas empata com Ferroviária e fica em 1º na Copinha

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians não tem encantado na Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior deste ano, mas já tem um talismã: o meia Ramonzinho. Nesta quarta-feira, na Arena Fonte Luminosa, em Araraquara, a equipe perdia para a Ferroviária até os acréscimos do segundo tempo, quando o baixinho da camisa 7 marcou o gol de empate por 1 a 1, resultado que assegurou ao Timãozinho a liderança do grupo 17.

A posição faz com que a equipe se mantenha em Araraquara na fase de mata-mata. Foi sofrido, mas o Alvinegro manteve a invencibilidade na Copinha que dura desde 2014 e chega à próxima fase tendo sofrido apenas um gol. Já Ramonzinho se destaca, pois já havia marcado duas vezes na vitória de 5 a 0 sobre o Pinheiro-MA no último domingo.Na próxima fase, o Timãozinho encara o São Carlos, em Araraquara.

O resultado pode ter sido positivo, mas a atuação, nem tanto. O Corinthians teve sérios problemas de criação do começo ao fim da partida. A participação dos jogadores de frente foi praticamente nula, bem marcados por um sistema organizado da Ferroviária. Nem mesmo Fabrício Oya, camisa 10 e apontado como joia do time, foi capaz de dar criatividade à equipe de Dyego Coelho.

Com a proposta clara de primeiro impedir o adversário de jogar, a Ferroviária teve êxito e ganhou os espaços decisivos. Passou o jogo inteiro levando perigo em contra-ataques. O gol dos donos da casa saíu no primeiro tempo, após uma cobrança de escanteio. O Corinthians não conseguiu afastar a bola, que sobrou para o zagueiro Maycon encostar para o gol, aos 16 minutos. O tento complicou ainda mais a situação do Timãozinho, que precisou sair mais para o jogo.

Mas a iniciativa de nada adiantava. Sem ter quem desse criatividade às jogadas do início ao ponto de conclusão, o Timãozinho esbarrava fácil na defesa e sofria com os contragolpes. A Ferroviária esteve mais perto do segundo gol. Cleison chegou a isolar uma dentro da área, após rebote do goleiro Diego, que sofreu o primeiro gol na competição.

Destaque negativo também para o trio de ataque formado por Rafael Bilu, Vitinho e Nathan, que novamente não conseguiu fazer força no Corinthians. O homem da referência, Nathan foi novamente substituído por William e corre risco de perder a posição, considerando sua fraca performance na primeira fase. Só na parte final do jogo Bilu e William conseguiram exigir duas boas defesas do goleiro Vitor Dias. Aí entrou Ramonzinho.

Na primeira tentativa de fora, o meia jogou pela linha de fundo, aos 30 minutos. Mas aos 47 não teve jeito: ele acertou belo chute no canto, salvou o Timãozinho e marcou seu terceiro gol na competição.

Agora, o Corinthians precisa se recuperar muito tecnicamente para lutar pelo bi da competição.

Botafogo define nomes para comissão técnica de Felipe Conceição

MatériaMais Notícias

Em uma reunião nesta terça-feira, o Botafogo definiu os nomes da comissão técnica que irá trabalhar junto com o treinador Felipe Conceição. O auxiliar do comandante será Fabrício Vasconcellos e o novo preparador físico será Felippe Capella, que era auxiliar da preparação física, e foi promovido. Flavio Tenius segue como preparador de goleiros.

As mudanças foram necessárias, pois os antigos donos das posições, Emílio Faro e Ednilson Sena, deixaram o clube junto com o então treinador, Jair Ventura. Assim, essa é a quinta mudança no Botafogo em pouco mais de um mês. Em 2018, Nelson Mufarrej inverterá de posição com Carlos Eduardo Pereira, atual vice, e Anderson Barros assume a vaga de Antonio Lopes, que não renovará com o Alvinegro.

Fabrício não estava no Botafogo em 2017, e sim no Vasco, onde atuava como fisiologista. Ele já havia trabalhado no Glorioso. Foi entre 2013 e 2015 e até fez dobradinha com o próprio Felipe Conceição, na base. No último ano juntos, inclusive, levaram o Botafogo ao vice da Copa do Brasil sub-17.

Fabrício venceu a concorrência com Eduardo Barroca, técnico do sub-20, que era cotado para ser auxiliar de Felipe Conceição. O mesmo Barroca, inclusive, já havia sido cotado para substituir Jair Ventura. A reapresentação do Botafogo está marcada para o próximo dia 4.

لينجليه يوضح سبب رحيله عن برشلونة

كشف مدافع الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي توتنهام، كليموه لينجليه، عن السبب الذي دفعه للرحيل عن صفوف برشلونة في سوق الانتقالات الصيفية الماضي.

وانتقل لينجليه إلى توتنهام من برشلونة على سبيل الإعارة في الميركاتو الصيفي، خاصة وأن الفريق الكتالوني قد تعاقد مع ثنائي دفاعي وهما أندرياس كريستنسن وجول كوندي.

وأجرى لينجليه حوارًا مع صحيفة “The Times” البريطانية ووضح السبب، وقال: “جئت إلى توتنهام لأعيش تجربة جديدة وأردت أن ألعب المزيد من الدقائق، عندما تبلغ من العمر 27 عامًا، فأنت تريد المشاركة، كان هذا كل ما أفكر به”.

وتابع: “في العقد لا يوجد خيار شراء ولكننا ما زلنا في أكتوبر، ما زلنا في بداية الموسم وعلينا الانتظار قبل التفكير في هذا الأمر، يجب أن أؤدي بشكل جيد في الملعب وأساعد الفريق، ربما إذا كان كل شيء على ما يرام سنتحدث، لكن الوقت مبكر”.

وعن موسم برشلونة المتذبذب: “لا أحب التحدث لأنني لست هناك، لكن برشلونة نادٍ كبير للغاية، ربما لم يحالفه الحظ في السنوات الماضية، لكنهم سيتحسنون ويعودون مرة أخرى”.

وأختتم لينجليه حديثه عن ميسي: “ليو هو لاعب دائم في برشلونة، الموسم الماضي كان أكثر صعوبة بالنسبة له لأنها المرة الأولى التي يرتدي فيها قميص مختلف عن فريقه المعتاد، لكن في الموسم الحالي يؤدي بشكل جيد للغاية، لقد لعبت معه في برشلونة وضده في إشبيلية، لكن اللعب معه أفضل بكثير”.

Ajeti, Barkas, Bolingoli set to exit Celtic

Celtic trio Albian Ajeti, Vasilis Barkas and Boli Bolingoli all look set to leave the club this month, according to The Daily Record’s Gabriel McKay.

The Lowdown: Exits needed

The Hoops have been extremely busy when it comes to incomings this month, with Michael Nicholson finalising five signings for Ange Postecoglou’s squad in January. Midfielder Matt O’Riley was the latest to move to Parkhead, penning a deal until 2026 from MK Dons.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/celtic-updates-copy/” title=”Celtic updates!! (Copy)” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

It seems as if Celtic’s focus now is on moving players out of Glasgow in the final days of the window, with three Neil Lennon acquisitions in line to leave the club.

The Latest: McKay’s claim

McKay shared a transfer news recap on The Daily Record on Saturday evening.

Within his report, he said that Ajeti, Barkas and Bolingoli all ‘look set to go in the opposite direction and follow Leigh Griffiths out of Celtic Park’.

The Verdict: Flops

Celtic paid £4.5m for both Ajeti and Barkas and £3m for Bolingoli. That has proven to be £12m not well spent, with the trio hardly featuring under Postecoglou this season.

Hopefully the Hoops can recoup the majority of the £12m they spent on those three players, but that could be a big ask for CEO Nicholson with only a few days remaining in the transfer window.

If you use Transfermarkt’s valuations, for example, the Hoops could land just £4.95m, as Ajeti’s value has dropped from £4.05m to £2.25m as a Celtic player, Barkas’ going from £4.5m to £1.35m and Bolingoli’s falling from £2.7m to £1.35m.
