India were coasting towards a convincing victory before a spirited late fightback from the South African tail made the home side sweat right upto the final delivery

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were outRavindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina were two of the key contributors to the win•AFP

It went down to the last ball but when Jacques Kallis fell in the 43rd over, with South Africa requiring an improbable 74 from 43 balls and only two wickets in hand, it looked like game, set and match to India. From there, Dale Steyn and Wayne Parnell threatened to pull of an incredible heist but India held their nerve to clinch a final-ball win in Jaipur.The quality of cricket was actually below-par from both sides – India’s bowling threatened to completely disintegrate under the pressure and barring Kallis, South Africa’s batting was quite dismal – but the contest was made memorable by the tailenders Steyn and Parnell. This is how it panned out in the end: Steyn lashed two straight sixes in the 46th over bowled by Suresh Raina, the pair pinched three boundaries in the 48th over bowled by an errant Sreesanth and when both batsmen struck audacious sixes down the ground against Ashish Nehra in the 49th over, South Africa required only 10 from the last over.Praveen Kumar bowled Steyn with a slower one off the second delivery but the drama wasn’t over yet. Charl Langeveldt pulled the penultimate delivery to long leg where Sachin Tendulkar dived full-stretch to prevent the boundary. Many replays later, the third umpire ruled it a legal save and South Africa had to be content with three runs but had the well-set Parnell on strike for the last delivery. More excitement lay ahead as Praveen hurled a wide leaving South Africa needing three to win. Parnell squeezed out the final delivery to third man where Sreesanth fielded the ball cleanly and threw in a slightly wide throw but MS Dhoni had enough time to break the stumps with Parnell just one yard short of levelling the scores.Until those dramatic end overs where India threatened to choke, they had actually done most things necessary to win the game. No batsman got a big score, but there were enough handy contributions from the top-order to push India to a strong 298. No bowler got more than two wickets but there was enough combined discipline in the attack, till they crumbled under the Steyn & Parnell show, to restrict South Africa.For their part, South Africa might have come very close in the end but the stand-in captain Jacques Kallis was the only top-order batsman to offer any resistance in the chase where Ravindra Jadeja starred for India with his unspectacular but steady spell of left-arm spin where he used the arm-ball quite liberally to keep the batsmen honest. When Jadeja came on to bowl South Africa were sitting pretty at 60 for 1 from nine overs. When he finished his first spell that read 8-2-23-2, and included the vital wickets of Herschelle Gibbs and AB de Villiers, South Africa had slowed down to 127 for 3 from 24 overs.He didn’t get the ball to turn but repeatedly slipped the one that went straight on with the arm to suffocate the batsmen. The ball also tended to skid on in this surface and at times kept a touch low and the batsmen struggled to put away his armers. He lured Gibbs to slice to long-off and troubled both Kallis and de Villiers with his skidding deliveries. de Villiers tried to wriggle free with an attempted cut shot that proved fatal as he completely failed to connect.From then on South Africa were always chasing their own tail despite Kallis’ effort and though Steyn and Parnell played the one-day innings of their lives, they fell short in the end.Like South Africa, India too didn’t have any centurion today but, unlike the visitors, there were enough contributions to charge them to a strong score. On a day when Virender Sehwag played a couple of typically stunning shots – a slashed six over third man and another flamboyantly carved over covers being the picks – two innings, from men who are yet to secure their spots in the playing eleven, caught the eye. Karthik’s entertaining 44 and Raina’s attractive 58 stood out for their sparkling shots, and also for their untimely dismissals. Both fell when they were well-set and had the opportunity to take India to an unassailable position.Jacques Kallis got little support from the other top-order batsmen•AFP

India were at 32 for the loss of Tendulkar in seven overs when Karthik started to go for his shots. Until then, he was playing the conventional strokes and even timing them well but was unable to find the gaps.Everything changed in the eighth over bowled by Parnell. The first ball, a short of a length delivery outside off stump, was flat-batted – a forehand cross-court swat – over the bowler’s head. Off the third delivery, he walked down the track to upset the line and length and whipped through midwicket for another boundary and a pull off the fifth delivery fetched him a couple before he collected another pulled boundary off the last ball.Karthik continued to innovate and play the big shots – a slog-swept six against Johan Botha being the highlight – before he fell. This ability to manufacture shots and pull out the big hits irrespective of the match situation has been his strength and weakness. Shot selection hasn’t always been his strong point but it looked like today was going to be his day until he was dismissed against the run of play, mistiming a pull shot off Langeveldt straight to mid-on.Raina took over after Karthik’s exit, starting off with a delightful, on-the-up, cover-driven boundary off Albie Morkel, and handled himself well against the short stuff from Kallis. The pitch was a flat beauty and there wasn’t great pace or bounce to cause any trouble and Raina collected boundaries with upper cuts and a couple of pull shots. He went on to heave a back-of-length delivery from Parnell over wide long-on boundary but in the 44th over, with India on 260 for 6, he moved away from the stumps to try an expansive inside-out drive over the covers, only to edge Kallis behind the wicket.It was left to the tail to push India towards 300, which proved more than enough in the end courtesy a fine spell from Jadeja. Kallis carried on gamely with a characteristic innings but he received no support from his team-mates: Mark Boucher edged a slightly wide delivery, Alviro Petersen was run out as he failed to ground his bat, and both Morkel and Botha fell playing across the line. Kallis dealt in singles initially, put away most of the bad balls, and tried to manufacture a few big shots in the end overs but the stiff target proved too much for him to pull off a one-man-show. Steyn and Parnell nearly pulled off the improbable but couldn’t complete a fairy-tale finish.

A comissão técnica do Corinthiansfez algumas recomendações aos jogadores antes de liberá-los para as férias, como exercícios físicos que podem ser realizados e ter uma alimentação adequada. Apesar das orientações, o clube não teme exageros do elenco na pausa entre 2017 e 2018. Os próprios atletas, inclusive, prometem se esforçar para chegarem bem na reapresentação, dia 3 de janeiro.

Na avaliação interna, o elenco do Corinthians não conta com muitos jogadores “baladeiros”. Cinco atletas, por exemplo, tiveram filhos neste ano (Cássio, Pedro Henrique, Vilson, Paulo Roberto e Jô – o segundo filho do atacante nascerá neste mês).

Outro motivo que deixa a comissão técnica mais tranquila é em relação aos jogadores que sonham em disputar a Copa do Mundo. Cássio, Fagner e Rodriguinho sabem que precisam iniciar bem 2018. Do trio, apenas o goleiro foi convocado para as últimas partidas da Seleção Brasileira.

– De 2014 para 15, eu sofri muito na pré-temporada, e desde então estou me cuidando e sofrendo menos. Percebi isso. Então, esse ano vou fazer a mesma coisa. Lógico que você diminui a quantidade de treinos, mas não custa nada cuidar um pouquinho, a alimentação. A gente sabe que o ano que vem será bem espremido, então temos de estar bem, serão muitos jogos. Não terá treino, vai de cada atleta. Prefiro não fazer nenhum jogo, mas no meu tempinho livre, já aproveitando que minha mulher gosta de academia, vamos juntos – afirmou Fagner.

Outros jogadores que prometeram trabalhar nas férias foram Cássio e Danilo. Na visão do meia, por conta da grave lesão que teve ainda em 2016 e a consequentemente falta de jogos desde então, ele precisa se cuidar para voltar no mesmo ritmo que os companheiros.

Com esse cenário, há a confiança de que grande parte do elenco apresentará boas condições físicas na reapresentação em janeiro. O ano de 2018 já começou faz tempo para o Timão.

Cricinfo previews the Ranji Trophy final between Karnataka and Mumbai to be held in Mysore

Siddarth Ravindran in Mysore10-Jan-2010Match factsJanuary 11-15
Start time 09.30 (0400 GMT)Mumbai have been bested in only four out of 42 Ranji Trophy finals•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Big PictureMumbai are perhaps the ultimate big-match domestic cricket team in the world, bested in only four of their 42 appearances in the finals of the Ranji Trophy. They have won four titles in the last seven years and in a tournament where first-innings leads usually prove decisive, their batsmen have racked up 350-plus totals in each of their previous five matches.Still, heading into the final, it is their opponents, Karnataka, who start favourites. After a decade of mostly lacklustre cricket, a new-look Karnataka have been the most powerful team on the circuit this season, with four outright victories. Their pace trio has tormented opposition batsmen to such an extent that the Ranji final has been shifted to the quaint Gangothri Glades in Mysore, in the hope that the grass-topped pitch there will support the quicks more than the benign surface at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.The batting unit, so dependent on Rahul Dravid – who is unavailable for the final – and Robin Uthappa in the past, has had five other batsmen make two or more centuries this season. The bowling has also been boosted by youngsters coming to the fore; Abhimanyu Mithun and S Aravind have reduced the wicket-taking burden off the more experienced R Vinaykumar and Sunil Joshi.Mumbai, though, have loads of experience in dealing with high-pressure matches; among the home side’s players, only Uthappa and Joshi have been involved in five-day games. Another of Mumbai’s strengths is the depth in batting. Besides the recognised allrounder Abhiskeh Nayar, they also have the trio of Ajit Agarkar, Ramesh Powar and Iqbal Abdulla, each of whom has made game-changing contributions with the bat this season.With the final being a five-day fixture, and the track suited to fastbowling, an outright result is likely. Besides Mumbai’s outstandingshowing in past finals, they possess one more record that will hearten them: they have never lost outright to Karnataka in 76 seasons of the Ranji Trophy.Form Guide(last five completed matches, most recent first)Karnataka DDWWW
Mumbai DDDDDPlayers to watchRobin Uthappa was the stand-out batsman for Karnataka last season. This year, though, while his team has prospered his personal form has been rocky. He is yet to make a century after 10 innings, and there have been few significant contributions. Karnataka’s first Ranji final in 11 years provides the big stage for him to remind the national selectors of his abilites.In the absence of Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma, and in the face of a strong Karnataka attack, the consistent pair of Wasim Jaffer and Ajinkya Rahane will have to deliver again. Their battle against the home side’s new-ball pair of Mithun and Vinaykumar will be pivotal to the match’s result.Team newsBesides the forced change of a replacement for Dravid, who is heading to Bangladesh for the two-Test series starting on January 17, Karnataka will not tweak the combination that took them through to the finals. The choice for the vacancy is between allrounders B Akhil and Stuart Binny, with a decision to be made on Monday morning. Binny, being the better batsman, is tipped to make the XI.Karnataka: 1 Robin Uthappa (capt), 2 KB Pawan, 3 Amit Verma, 4Manish Pandey, 5 CM Gautam (wk), 6 Ganesh Satish, 7 Stuart Binny/B Akhil, 8 R Vinay Kumar, 9 Sunil Joshi, 10 A Mithun, 11 S Arvind.Mumbai are boosted by the news that both Nayar and Dhawal Kulkarni are fully fit after injury scares. Captain Jaffer was tight-lipped about the line-up for the final, but there shouldn’t be too many changes besides Usman Malvi making way for Kulkarni.Mumbai: 1 Wasim Jaffer (capt), 2 Sahil Kukreja, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Onkar Khanvilkar 5 Abhishek Nayar, 6 Vinayak Samant (wk), 7 Ajit Agarkar, 8 Ramesh Powar, 9 Iqbal Abdulla, 10 Dhawal Kulkarni, 11 Aavishkar SalviPitch and conditionsAfter a raft of featherbeds this season, the surface at the GangothriGlades should be one that excites the fast bowlers with its bounce and carry. There is plenty of grass on the track, and Uthappa was satisfied with the conditions at hand. “Obviously it is a wicket which will help our fast bowlers,” he said. “We are playing to our strengths and why not?” The outfield is a bit bumpy and has already been criticised by Mumbai coach Praveen Amre.Quotes”How many times they have won is only for the record books. I don’t think it counts for this game.”

“Obviously, the [nature of the] wicket is not in our hands. They arehosting it, and I’m sure they are happy with the wicket. We are also more than happy.”

A cidade de Vitória, no Espírito Santo, recebeu uma presença ilustre de um astro do futebol mundial na última semana. Aposentado dos gramados desde 2013, Frédéric Kanouté, um dos maiores jogadores da história recente do Sevilla, esteve no Brasil para selar uma parceria entre a sua empresa, a 12 MANagament, que iníciou suas atividades em 2014, e o Porto Vitória, clube capixaba fundado no mesmo ano, que pretende invadir o cenário futebolístico do país e do mundo baseado na formação de jogadores.

Admirador do futebol brasileiro, o ex-jogador nascido na França e naturalizado malinês, revelou em entrevista ao LANCE! como a sua relação com brasileiros o aproximou de firmar a parceria com o time do Espírito Santo.

– Sempre gostei do futebol brasileiro, porque desde pequeno admiro a Seleção e sempre me agradou o estilo e as características dos jogadores brasileiros. Tenho um colega na 12 MANagament, que é brasileiro. Há dois anos ele me disse que conhecia uma academia de futebol especializada na formação de jovens jogadores, que era o Porto Vitória. Faz quatro anos que mantemos uma academia de futebol em países africanos como Mali e Zâmbia, ambas especializadas também na formação de jovens jogadores. A partir daí, abrir o mercado para o futebol brasileiro era um caminho lógico. Além disso, creio que com a minha experiência no futebol europeu, posso trazer muito para os jovens talentosos brasileiros e facilitar a integração nos clubes europeus.

A história de Kanouté com os brasileiros é antiga e teve seu auge no Sevilla, entre 2005 e 2012, quando ao lado de Luis Fabiano, Daniel Alves, Adriano e Renato, venceu duas Copas da UEFA (atual Liga Europa), uma Copa do Rey, uma Supercopa da Espanha e uma Supercopa da Europa. Mais um ingrediente que aumentou a disposição do atacante em colocar sua empresa para trabalhar no país.

– Atuar com jogadores brasileiros de nível mundial fortaleceu minha vontade de trabalhar no Brasil. Quando era mais jovem, no Lyon, joguei com Sonny Anderson, que era um atacante muito bom. No Sevilla tive a sorte de jogar com jogadores excepcionais como Luis Fabiano, com o qual fazíamos uma dupla de ataque das melhores da Europa naquela época. Joguei com Daniel Alves, um dos melhores laterais direitos do mundo, assim como Adriano, também um dos melhores de sua posição. Não posso me esquecer do Renato, que para mim tem uma técnica e um talento excepcionais. Isso tudo influenciou na minha vontade de trabalhar no Brasil. Creio que nosso conhecimento de futebol europeu e mundial pode ajudar os jovens talentosos de Porto Vitória a alcançarem seu melhor potencial – declarou.

E é justamente com o foco no desenvolvimento e na estruturação de sua categoria de base que consiste o projeto firmado entre Kanouté e a agremiação presidida por Vinícius Coelho, que contou ao LANCE! como conseguiu convencer um astro do futebol mundial a fechar parceria com um clube recém-fundado no Brasil.

– Essa parceria foi apresentada por um amigo nosso em comum que trabalha na 12 MANagament, ou seja, já nos conhecia, e com isso passou uma confiança maior para o Kanouté. Ele começou a nos seguir, viu como é a nossa infraestrutura, viu que em pouco tempo a gente conseguiu colocar atletas em grandes clubes do Brasil como Grêmio, Cruzeiro, Atlético-MG, Flamengo, Vasco, Bahia, Vitória, Ponte Preta, entre outros. Ele pôde ver que havia um trabalho bem feito, nos acompanhou, viu que além disso ele estava lidando com pessoas sérias, porque no futebol há essa dificuldade, não só no Brasil como no mundo. Eu fui para a Europa com um atleta que ele levou para o Gent, da Bélgica, e para o Málaga. Nessa viagem nós nos encontramos em Lyon, nos aproximamos. Isso já faz um ano, nesse período trocamos informações sobre o que fazemos no clube, ele se interessou cada vez mais, até chegar a formalizar essa parceria – explicou Vinícius.

Apesar de, em menos de quatro anos, já ter revelado jogadores para alguns clubes tradicionais do Brasil e ter levado atletas para agremiações na Europa, o Porto Vitória também busca investimento no seu Centro de Treinamento para continuar com o projeto. O mandatário capixaba acredita que o projeto com a 12 MANagament possa ajudar também nesse objetivo.

– Nós queremos que essa parceria com a empresa 12 MANagament seja bastante duradoura, já está rendendo frutos e que possa abrir portas de clubes renomados na Europa. Temos um atleta no Red Bull Salzburg, mas um dos objetivos dessa parceria é também trazer um investidor para o clube, um investidor internacional que possa investir em nossa estrutura, construir um CT de nível internacional com todas as dependências que são exigidas em um CT, como alojamento, cozinha industrial, centro médico, ou seja, algo que nos dê capacidade de revelar jogadores para a Europa – afirmou o dirigente.

Kanouté fez questão de dizer que a parceria não se baseia apenas no desenvolvimento esportivo, mas também no crescimento pessoal de cada jogador que passar pelo clube neste período.

– Vamos tentar desenvolver workshops e atividades para que jovens possam crescer também fora de campo e isso é muito importante, porque é preciso desenvolver não só o aspecto técnico, mas também o aspecto mental e educacional. Assim, creio que a gente possa ajudar muito nesse âmbito. Para os mais talentosos entre eles, a 12 MANagament, pode também facilitar a integração entre os clubes europeus e brasileiros, e vamos fazer um acompanhamento de todos os jogadores. Graças a nossa rede de contatos, poderemos dar mais oportunidades de encontrarem um clube na Europa e no Brasil – finalizou.

Wolves have received a huge boost with the news that Romain Saiss will be available for the upcoming clash against Manchester United.

The Lowdown: Saiss superb for Wolves

Wanderers have thrived with Bruno Lage adopting a three-man defence this season, conceding just 14 times in 18 Premier League matches to date.

Saiss has been a key part of that success, forming a strong partnership with Max Kilman and Conor Coady, not to mention being hailed by his manager as “Maldini from Morocco”.

The 31-year-old is set to represent his country at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), however, and his involvement in the trip to Old Trafford on January 3 has been in doubt.

The Latest: Saiss available for Man United clash

Thankfully, Saiss will be available for the United clash, with The Express & Star’s Liam Keen confirming as much on Monday morning.

In his report, he stated that Europe-based players taking part in AFCON were expected to leave their clubs this week, but after the Confederation of African Football received requests to change that, they will now depart after the first set of fixtures in January.

The Verdict: Big boost for Lage

Saiss has been such a strong performer for Wolves this season, not only starting all 18 league games but also scoring twice, so this is a big boost for Lage. He tops the squad for aerial duels won (2.6) and interceptions (1.9) per game in the league during 2021/22 so far.

His experience at the back will be crucial against a United side who have found their feet under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, with a busy evening potentially on the cards for Wanderers’ defence.

Saiss will be a big loss when he heads off on AFCON duty, but the hope is that Wolves will battle on without him for a few matches in January before welcoming him back with open arms.

While Wanderers fans wouldn’t begrudge seeing their player doing well in the tournament, they surely won’t be too upset if Morocco end up being eliminated early and Saiss is back at Molineux before long.

Andrew McDonald and John Hastings shared eight wickets as they pushed Victoria to a six-point buffer at the top of the Sheffield Shield table following an innings-and-50-run triumph over Queensland. Rain tried to take the match into a fourth day but McDonald, who bowled unchanged for 20.3 overs, and Hastings broke through to finish things off shortly after tea.The Bulls, who were missing the opener Ryan Broad with a broken thumb, were dismissed for 133 to follow their 195 in the first innings. Only four batsmen made double figures and Lee Carseldine’s 27 was the best effort as the visitors were thoroughly outplayed.Hastings charged through the lower order and was on a hat-trick after having Chris Simpson (23) caught behind and bowling Ben Cutting. When play resumed after tea he removed Chris Hartley (26) and Scott Walter before McDonald ended the match by knocking over Daniel Doran. McDonald finished with 4 for 37 while Hastings captured 4 for 30 in a neat collection.The Bushrangers, who won the competition last year, are now on 14 points, six ahead of Queensland and South Australia. They also have a game in hand after starting the season late due to their Champions League Twenty20 commitments.

واضاف: “حسام حسن من الأسماء التدريبية الكبيرة وغاب عنه التوفيق مع المصري بسبب كثرة الإصابات، وهو ما تضرر منه الفريق، لكن بعد عودة اللاعبين استعاد الفريق الأداء الفني الجيد، وكل اللاعبين قدمت مستوى جيد خلال اللقاءات السابقة”.

واستطرد: “تم الاتفاق معنا للعمل كجهاز مؤقت، وحتى الآن الاتفاق ساري كما هو، ولا يوجد شئ رسمي بشأن تمديد التعاقد لموسم آخر، وفي النهاية نسعى لتحقيق نتيجة ايجابية حتى نهاية الموسم، ونترك الأمر لمجلس الإدارة الذي يعمل لمصلحة النادي فقط”.

وأتم: “وفقًا لـ عقد إلياس الجلاصي مستمر مع نادي المصري لموسمين آخرين، والنية داخل إدارة النادي هي التمسك باللاعب وعدم الاستغناء عنه، لأن التفكير هو المنافسة على البطولات في الموسم المقبل، في ظل وجود دعم جماهيري كما أنه لدينا فريق جيد ويحتاج فقط لتدعيمات بسيطة”.
