Peter English at Edgbaston30-Jul-2009

Phillip Hughes is a quiet boy who will hear a lot of advice after his brief international entrance was ended when his spot was taken by the stand-in opener Shane Watson. Life on this tour has been exciting but hard for the 20-year-old Hughes, who is in his first slump as a senior player following England’s short-pitched attack in the opening two Tests.And now come the tips, starting with the coach Tim Nielsen telling him he has to tighten up. That way he can avoid the sort of dismissals that make fast bowlers fight among themselves to get a go at him.”He does need to go away and work at his game,” Nielsen said. “He probably exceeded our expectations initially with the success he had in South Africa, and the way he played. He’s been a little bit unlucky here.”After two fends ended his innings in the warm-up in Worcester, he looked generally uncomfortable against Andrew Flintoff and Co in scraping to 36, 4 and 17 in Cardiff and London. With Australia behind in the series, they could no longer carry him on potential in such a crucial series.”I’m not going to go into an inquisition about what Phil Hughes needs to do,” Nielsen said. “We made the decision that we thought we could strengthen the side by playing Watson at the top and getting some extra bowling. Shane was here as the spare batsman and that’s the way we’ve gone.” Watson celebrated the promotion with an unbeaten 62 as Australia reached 126 for 1 at the end of the first day at Edgbaston.So Hughes is not the new Bradman, just a boy with a loose, homespun technique that prevents him from avoiding balls aimed at his body, and makes him susceptible to catches behind. It is only a serious issue against the game’s elite, which is why he was able to career to all sorts of records playing for New South Wales and Middlesex.After five games, including one in which he posted two centuries against a mighty South Africa, he is now the spare batsman in England instead of a main man. Hughes also leaves with a lesson about not letting those close to you reveal that you’ve been dropped half a day before the news is officially released. For someone not playing, it was a busy day.

Cricinfo staff07-Jul-2009Scotland have made changes to the squad to face Canada in two ODIs in Aberdeen, calling up three uncapped players. Stuart Chalmers, wicketkeeper-batsman Marc Petrie and fast bowler Ally Evans are the new faces.Chalmers was added as 12th man for the four-day victory against Canada this week while Petrie has represented Scotland Under-19s; Evans only has experience with his club, Carlton.Fast bowler Calum MacLeod, who took six wickets in the 29-win over Canada, and wicketkeeper Simon Smith have been released from the ODI squad.Scotland are looking to rebuild in the wake of their failure to qualify for the 2011 World Cup.Scotland ODI squad:: Gavin Hamilton (capt), Fraser Watts, Ryan Watson, Navdeep Poonia, Neil McCallum, Richie Berrington, Jan Stander, Gordon Drummond, Stuart Chalmers, Marc Petrie (wk), Majid Haq, Ross Lyons, Ally Evans.

أفادت تقارير صحفية أن نادي باريس سان جيرمان الفرنسي وأولمبيك مارسيليا يخالفان قواعد اللعب المالي النظيف.

وبحسب إذاعة “أوندا سيرو” الإسبانية، أبلغ الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم “يويفا”، فريق باريس سان جيرمان وأولمبيك مارسيليا أنهما خارج اللعب المالي النظيف وسيتم تغريمهما إذا لم يغيرا الوضع.

وأشار إلى أن لديهما 3 سنوات لتصحيح المشكلة تدريجيًا، وسيتم تطبيق العقوبات الاقتصادية (وربما الرياضية) بشكل تدريجي.

وحتى وقت قريب، لم يتعرض باريس سان جيرمان للهجوم باستثناء بعض المحاولات القانونية التي قام بها رئيس رابطة الليجا، خافيير تيباس.

لكن منذ يونيو الماضي، كانت هيئة الرقابة المالية لنادي الاتحاد الأوروبي (ICFC) تراقب النادي الباريسي بسبب عجز كبير وأكثر من 30 مليون يورو المصرح بها على مدى ثلاث سنوات مالية.

وبحسب صحيفة “ليكيب”، أرسل الاتحاد الأوروبي اتفاقية تسوية مرادفة للتهديد بفرض عقوبات مالية ورياضية إذا لم تقم باريس بتصحيح ميزانيتها العمومية في المواسم الثلاثة المقبلة.

ويمكن لباريس سان جيرمان ومارسيليا الطعن في هذا القرار الصادر عن المحكمة الابتدائية CFCB، عند الاستئناف، أمام المحكمة الثانية ثم سيكون أمام محكمة التحكيم الرياضية (CAS).

وسبق وطالبت رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم “رابطة الليجا”، أمام محكمة باريس الإدارية، بإلغاء عقد كيليان مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان.

وخوان برانكو، المحامي الفرنسي في الليجا أفاد أن باريس سان جيرمان لم يحترم المعايير والمؤشرات المنصوص عليها في اللوائح في الدوري الفرنسي وDNCG “المنظمة المسؤولة عن مراقبة حسابات أندية كرة القدم الاحترافية في فرنسا والإشراف عليها”، وكذلك تلك التي تم سنها من قبل يويفا من خلال قواعد اللعب المالي النظيف.

وجاء في شكوى الليجا أن باريس سان جيرمان يقدم ميزانيات مزورة، وميزانيات توقع خيالية عن عمد، ويخلص خوان برانكو إلى أنه كان ينبغي على DNCG أن تلاحظ خرق باريس سان جيرمان لقواعد اللعب النظيف المالي على المستوى الوطني وكذلك الأوروبي.

Chris Gayle still wasn’t all smiles as he looked out over a chilly, blustery Headingley, but was hoping to start afresh with the one-day series against England after the thumping defeat in the Test series

Andrew McGlashan at Headingley20-May-2009

Chris Gayle still wasn’t all smiles as he looked out over a chilly, blustery Headingley, but was hoping to start afresh with the one-day series against England after the thumping defeat in the Test matches. Although West Indies were heavily beaten in both Tests there is still plenty of cricket for them before returning home, with this three-match ODI contest followed by the ICC World Twenty20.”The Test series was a disaster for us so we’re going to try and put that behind us and we’re starting a new series now,” Gayle said. “We want to get off to a good start and get some momentum going.”The majority of the guys who are in the ODI squad will also be in the World Twenty20 squad and I’m sure this series will be a benefit for us going into that tournament. For those that are here it’s important to get some personal goals in and they can benefit from that.”This West Indies side is better suited to one-day cricket although they have lost their last four series, including the 3-2 reversal against England in the Caribbean, which is a record Gayle wants to put right. “We’ve been a lot stronger in one-day cricket but at the same time we’ve lost the last few series,” he said. “It will be good to get back to winning again, which will lead in well to the Twenty20 World Cup.”A vital player for them will be Dwayne Bravo, who is back in the fold after missing the Test series, following medical advice said his ankle hadn’t recovered sufficiently, and instead spent his time at the IPL with Mumbai Indians. He scored 218 runs at 27.25 and took 11 wickets at 23.54 during his 11 matches in the tournament.”It’s good to have Dwayne back,” Gayle said. “He’s been brilliant in the IPL with bat and ball so at least he’s been playing cricket. He is the sort of player that brings a lot of different strengths to the team with his batting, bowling and fielding. There’s a big boost there and hopefully we can set out standards high and try to maintain it.”Gayle, too, is a vital player and he showed his hitting power with 54 off 43 balls in the second innings at Chester-le-Street. Following his comments about Test cricket last week the pressure is on for him to show leadership with bat and in the field.”I’ve been hitting the ball well, but in my career I’ve tried to become more consistent with the bat,” he said. “In the last couple of years I’ve followed a big score with a low one, but hopefully in these ODIs I can get a couple of scores under my belt and the team will benefit. But the main objective is to win this series and ease a bit of the talk off our back.”

Kings XI Punjab have already made it through one make-or-break match successfully but they now face another crucial encounter, against Deccan Chargers

Kings XI Punjab have already made it through one make-or-break match successfully. To stay in the running for the semi-finals, they had to beat the No. 1 team, Delhi Daredevils, and they did. A day after that tense victory Punjab are faced with another must-win game, this time against Deccan Chargers. Punjab have 12 points and a negative net run-rate and are presently not among the top four teams with two games to play. The upshot of their off-colour campaign though, is that even if they win against Deccan, they will have another crucial game against Chennai Super Kings.Deccan might be a weary lot when they take the field against Punjab because not even 24 hours have passed since their previous game. However, they will be buoyant after strengthening their chances of making the semi-finals by beating the winners of the wooden spoon, Kolkata Knight Riders, last night. That victory took them to 14 points, and with two games in hand, the clash against Punjab isn’t of must-win importance. A defeat, however, will leave Deccan needing to win against Bangalore in order to qualify without depending on too many other results going their way.Form guide (completed matches, most recent first)Kings XI Punjab: WLWLL
Yuvraj Singh is among the season’s top five run-scorers but he hasn’t played an innings of brutal impact yet. He has two half-centuries, an average of 31.40, but his strike-rate of 122 is lower than his Twenty20 international strike-rate of 164.77. Brett Lee has had a significant impact since he joined the team, taking five wickets in three games at an average of 12.80 and economy of 5.33.Deccan Chargers: WLWLW
After several indifferent performances, Adam Gilchrist made an aggressive and timely half-century against Delhi and he and Andrew Symonds, who has hit the ground running in South Africa, form the mainstay of Deccan’s batting. Rohit Sharma, had been slightly disappoint with the bat till the game against Kolkata, where he scripted an incredible victory. He has also taken 11 wickets and bowled economically.Watch out forLee v Symonds: Both players are recent additions to their teams after completing their national duties in the UAE. Lee has been a potent force with the new ball and has given the batsmen few boundary opportunities. He will be expected to tackle his Australian team-mate, Symonds, who has been taking advantage of the short boundaries in South Africa. Symonds averages 49.66 after four innings with a strike-rate of 165.55.TeamsMahela Jayawardene’s hamstring injury is likely to keep him out of the game. His overseas replacement, Luke Pomersbach, has scored only 14 runs in two innings but is likely to keep his spot because Punjab have no other overseas batsmen available.Kings XI Punjab: 1 Simon Katich, 2 Sunny Sohal, 3 Luke Pomersbach, 4 Yuvraj Singh (capt), 5 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 6 Irfan Pathan, 7 Brett Lee, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 Ramesh Powar, 10 Wilkin Mota, 11 Sreesanth.Herschelle Gibbs was not at his best, either in the field or with the bat, against Kolkata, and could make way for Dwayne Smith. Another player likely to find himself benched is Harmeet Singh, who had the less than impressive figures of 3.5-0-40-0.Deccan Chargers: (probable) 1 Adam Gilchrist (capt & wk), 2 Herschelle Gibbs/Dwayne Smith, 3 T Suman, 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Venugopal Rao, 7 D Ravi Teja, 8 Chaminda Vaas, 9 RP Singh, 10 Pragyan Ojha, 11 P Vijaykumar.Stats and trivia Punjab have performed poorly during the Powerplays. They scored at only 7.25 runs per over at an average of 24.85 per wicket. Deccan have performed far better, with a run-rate of 8.08 during the first six overs. Symonds’ average of 65.50 is the highest in the second season of the IPL. Jayawardene’s 36 is the best average for Punjab. Gilchrist has hit the most sixes in this year’s IPL – 23. Yuvraj’s 15 is the most for Punjab.Head-to-head recordThe head-to-head record is 3-0 in Punjab’s favour and all their victories against Deccan have come while chasing. Punjab won by three wickets off the penultimate ball in Kimberley in the first game against Deccan this season. In 2008, they won by seven wickets in Hyderabad and by six wickets in Mohali.Quotes”Brett’s important in attack. He’s got that x-factor up front and he’s a great finisher as well. He’s performing and just his presence is important for the team.”

Speaking to West Ham Zone, former Irons striker Frank McAvennie has shared what he’s ‘heard’ about Man United forward and linked star Jesse Lingard.

The Lowdown: West Ham attempt Lingard signing…

It is no secret that the Hammers and manager David Moyes wanted to re-sign Lingard after his sensational stint on loan at the London Stadium last season.

The 28-year-old, branded ‘phenomenal’ by talkSPORT pundit Adrian Durham, scored nine goals and assisted four others in just 16 Premier League starts for West Ham last campaign (WhoScored).

Alas, Lingard chose not to relocate down south from Old Trafford but reports post-transfer window have suggested West Ham could still return in January – with the club apparently set to maintain a ‘dialogue’ behind the scenes according to Football Insider.

The Latest: McAvennie makes Lingard claim…

Speaking to WHZ, McAvennie has now shared what he’s ‘heard’ whilst sending a bold West Ham transfer message – avoid bringing him back at all costs.

“They’re [Manchester United] not giving Lingard a new contract I heard,” the former Irons favourite explained.

“Brilliant isn’t it, he’s blown it.

“Listen, I hope West Ham don’t take him back. We knew he wasn’t getting a game. It’s not for me. I liked him, I wanted him, he was a breath of fresh air.

“[But] The bottom line is he’s blown his chance. Did he honestly think he was going to go and get a game with [Cristiano] Ronaldo and all of that lot?

“I saw it coming. It’s going to cost him his England place.”

The Verdict: Correct call?

We believe West Ham should, at the very least, contemplate returning for him in January – especially considering the Red Devils could offload for as little as £15m due to his contract situation – which currently expires in 2022.

Despite the Irons signing Nikola Vlasic in the summer, Moyes will need plenty of options in the attacking areas if he is to maintain West Ham’s excellent 2021/2022 start.

Leeds United must finally sell Tyler Roberts amid his latest disaster-class against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.

What’s the story?

The Wales international has endured a nightmare start to the campaign thus far, scoring no goals and providing no assists, and following his performance in mid-week, Leeds Live’s Beren Cross revealed what he saw from that night.

He said: “Roberts remains a divisive figure among fans, but Bielsa evidently likes him and plays him because he sees a lot of potential in the Wales international. The only way Roberts improves is by playing more and developing as a player on the pitch. That’s the way Bielsa will see it.

“It was interesting to see the flashpoint which convinced Bielsa to go for Gelhardt last night, though. Roberts received the ball in a promising position last night with Arsenal out of shape and rather than look to turn Maitland-Niles, as he had the time to do, he waited and looked for contact from behind to go down. The referee waved played on and the hosts took the ball away. Bielsa was furious and barked immediately for Gelhardt to come on.”

Time for Roberts to go

Here on FFC, Roberts’ performance on Tuesday against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup was heavily scrutinised, and with the January transfer window looming, it’s perhaps high time that the Wales international finally heads for the exit door.

Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan insisted that the £12.6m-rated forward hasn’t shown enough in the Premier League to “convince” Bielsa – he managed just one goal in 27 top-flight appearances all of last season, and even that came in the penultimate game against Southampton.

The 46-year-old said: “With Leeds this season, he’s been given a long spell of games to convince Bielsa he’s worth keeping. In my opinion, I’m still undecided. I don’t think he affected the game during his time on the field.”

Whelan added: “Is he good enough? In my opinion he isn’t. I would love him to go out there and prove me wrong because I want everyone to succeed. I need him to show me more. He needs to show more fight and desire. I just do not see that.”

The quite shambolic goal-scoring record that Roberts has at Elland Road, even for someone who’s relatively young at 22, should surely be the end of the straw for him under Bielsa.

The Whites desperately need greater end product from someone occupying that attacking midfield role just behind the striker, and Roberts simply hasn’t cut it.

Meanwhile, this Leeds United star is now attracting big interest…

Com dores no adutor da coxa esquerda, Ramon é dúvida para a partida contra o Cruzeiro, nesta quinta-feira, pela 18ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, em Volta Redonda. O lateral-esquerdo faz tratamento desde quando saiu de campo contra o Atlético-PR, ainda no primeiro tempo, teve uma melhora nesta terça-feira, mas ainda sente um incômodo no local.

O departamento médico do Vasco segue acompanhando o quadro de Ramon. Um exame deve ser feito para saber a gravidade do problema. Porém, é muito difícil que ele tenha condições de enfrentar o time mineiro nesta quinta.

Caso Ramon não entre em campo contra a Raposa, Henrique e Alan Cardoso vão brigar por sua vaga na equipe. O primeiro é o reserva imediato, e apesar da falha contra o Furacão, ganhou apoio do técnico Milton Mendes. O jovem de 19 anos se juntou ao grupo em Pinheiral nesta terça-feira e pode ser surpresa.

O Vasco ocupa a oitava colocação do Campeonato Brasileiro, com 23 pontos. O Cruz-Maltino encara o Cruzeiro na próxima quinta, às 20h, em Volta Redonda.
