Sixteen wickets fell on the second day in Galle, where Australia finished in a powerful position to push for victory thanks to Nathan Lyon’s five wickets on debut

After eight months of soul-searching, Australian cricket finally has something to be excited about. A few things, in fact: Nathan Lyon’s five-wicket haul on debut, including a wicket with his first delivery in Test cricket; the performance of the other debutant, Trent Copeland, who struck with his second ball at international level; and the return to form of the new captain Michael Clarke, whose confident half-century capped off a strong day for his side.And the most encouraging thing for Australia’s fans is that they were in a powerful position to push for victory against Sri Lanka in Galle. Australia closed the second day at 115 for 6, hardly the sort of score most sides would crow about that early in a Test, but on a day when 16 wickets tumbled on a pitch so dusty it was almost a health hazard, Clarke’s men were unequivocally on top against a lacklustre Sri Lanka.Of course, plenty of work remains to be done, and their lead of 283 runs with four wickets in hand is no guarantee of victory against a side boasting batsmen like Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene. But the longer the match wears on, the more impressive Australia’s first innings of 273 appears, and the hosts will need the biggest total of the match to pinch victory.After Lyon’s spin and Shane Watson’s reverse swing demolished Sri Lanka for 105, Australia’s top order wobbled and Rangana Herath picked up some late wickets to keep Sri Lanka, at least theoretically, in the contest. When rain forced an early close, Australia were 115 for 6 with Usman Khawaja on 2 and Mitchell Johnson on 3, and they were happy to get off the field after Herath claimed three late wickets.The most important dismissal was that of Clarke, who had shown his class against spin in compiling 60 from 80 balls. He was nimble on his feet and flicked Herath wristily through midwicket, a shot which VVS Laxman would have been proud of, and he cleared the boundary over mid-off with a wonderful lofted drive against Suraj Randiv.Eventually, Clarke fell when he top-edged an attempted sweep off Herath, and Michael Hussey (15) departed next ball when he was adjudged caught at bat-pad on review. It was a tough call on Hussey, for while the replays suggested possible contact between glove and ball, the footage was not conclusive but the on-field umpire’s not-out decision was overturned.Herath made it three victims in two overs when Brad Haddin edged to slip for a duck, but Sri Lanka needed a pile of wickets after Australia recovered from 5 for 2 in the fourth over. Shane Watson had fallen off the first ball of the innings, when he slashed Chanaka Welegedara to gully, and soon afterwards Ricky Ponting departed in comical fashion when he miscued a pull off Suranga Lakmal.Ponting lost his grip as he played the stroke and his bat flew out towards midwicket, and the fielder, Herath, did well to keep his eyes on the ball and completed the take. Phillip Hughes was positive in his 28, but was lbw to Tillakaratne Dilshan when he went for a sweep to a fullish delivery, and HawkEye didn’t save him when he asked for a review of Richard Kettleborough’s decision.Smart stats

Nathan Lyon became the ninth Australia spinner to pick up a five-wicket haul on Test debut. He is also the 30th Australia debutant to pick up a five-wicket haul.

With the wicket of Kumar Sangakkara, Lyon became the 14th bowler overall and the second Australia bowler to pick up a wicket off his first ball in Tests.

Sri Lanka’s 105 is their sixth-lowest total in home Tests and their lowest ever in Tests in Galle. It is also their second-lowest total against Australia.

The 18 runs aggregated between the fifth and tenth wickets is the second-lowest for Sri Lanka in Tests. The lowest is eight runs against England in 1982.

When Shane Watson fell first ball, it became the 27th instance of an Australia opener being dismissed off the first ball.

Australia have not lost a Test match since the Kolkata Test against India in 2001 after taking a 150-plus lead at the end of the second innings. (Click here for matches lost when Australia have batted first and here for matches when they have fielded first.)

It was a frenetic final session after Sri Lanka lost all ten of their wickets before tea. Lyon, the offspinner who this time a year ago had not made his state debut and was looking forward to starting a job as an Adelaide Oval groundsman, collected 5 for 34 as Sri Lanka crashed out for their sixth-lowest total in Test history.The last seven wickets fell in the space of 18 runs, a collapse triggered by an excellent spell of reverse-swing bowling from Watson, who took three wickets in two overs. But it was Lyon’s efforts that brought the greatest cheers from the Australia dressing room, not surprisingly given Australia’s struggles to find a Test-quality spinner in the post-Warne era.His first ball in Test cricket was near perfect: it drifted in from around the wicket and turned sharply away from the left-hander, Kumar Sangakkara, whose edge was snapped up beautifully by a diving Clarke at first slip. Only Arthur Conington in the 1890s had taken a wicket with his first Test delivery, and he finished his career with two. Lyon had five by the end of the day.He was helped by some below-par batting, but Lyon was still impressive in the bounce and spin he extracted, in an era when many Australian tweakers push the ball through too quickly. Angelo Mathews was bowled behind his legs when he missed an attempted sweep, Herath was caught in the deep off a slog sweep, and Randiv was sharply taken by Ponting at midwicket.Lyon completed his five-for with a terrific return catch high to his right to remove Welegedara, and he led Australia off the field in the knowledge the Test spin position was now his to lose. While Lyon was the star, it was Watson’s spell to the middle order that really rattled Sri Lanka.Watson tailed the ball dangerously with reverse swing and had Thilan Samaraweera (26) and Prasanna Jayawardene both trapped lbw in one over. In his next he came around the wicket to Tharanga Paranavitana, Sri Lanka’s top scorer with 29 off 115 deliveries, and swung the ball in for another clear lbw.Paranavitana and Samaraweera had steadied the innings somewhat with a 43-run stand after Australia picked up three early wickets. Mahela Jayawardene (11) was run out when Paranavitana pushed to the off side and Copeland backhanded a return to Brad Haddin, a piece of fielding reminiscent of Mark Waugh at his best.Both batsmen had been ball-watching, hesitating in the middle of the pitch, and replays confirmed Jayawardene was a few centimetres short when Haddin whipped off the bails. As if to highlight how off the pace Sri Lanka were, Paranavitana might have been run out had Jayawardene made his ground; while Australia appealed, he loitered in the middle of the pitch and a return to the bowler’s end could have ended his stay.It was the second celebration for Copeland. His first ball in Test cricket was driven through cover for four by Dilshan, but his second brought a breakthrough when Dilshan flashed irresponsibly and was brilliantly snapped up by Ponting at short cover. The dismissal summed up the day; Sri Lanka lacked application and Australia made the most of their chances.Now Australia need to make the most of their strong position. A 1-0 series lead is theirs for the taking.

Mohsin Khan, Pakistan’s chief selector and interim coach, has said that Umar Akmal needs to “stop being selfish” and learn how to convert starts into substantial innings in Test cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Oct-2011

Mohsin Khan, Pakistan’s chief selector and interim coach, has said that Umar Akmal needs to “stop being selfish” and learn how to convert starts into substantial innings in Test cricket. Akmal, a middle-order batsman, was dropped for the Test series against Sri Lanka in the UAE and advised to improve his game by playing domestic cricket.”There is no doubt over his [Akmal’s] potential or talent. But he has not done enough to remain in the team,” Mohsin said. “Basically we have given him a message. ‘Go and play domestic cricket and learn to play big innings. Learn to turn your thirties and forties into hundreds for the team. Stop being selfish.'”Akmal began the 2011-12 domestic season by scoring 95, 20 and 165 for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in their first two Quaid-e-Azam trophy matches. On the international circuit, however, he had not scored a Test century since his hugely impressive debut in 2009.After poor performances in 2010, when he averaged 24.33, Akmal was left out of the XI for the two Tests in New Zealand. He returned to the side for the Tests in the West Indies, but was dropped from the Test squad against Sri Lanka after scoring only one half-century in 2011, and struggling to play long innings in ODIs as well.”To tell you the truth, I was chief selector when we dropped Umar for the Test series [against Sri Lanka], but even if I had been the coach I would have still dropped him,” Mohsin said. “He would not have found a place in my team.””It is not my team or the PCB’s team. It is Pakistan’s team and those who are selected must justify themselves no matter how good they are.”Mohsin was appointed Pakistan’s interim coach to temporarily fill the vacancy created by Waqar Younis’ resignation after the tour of Zimbabwe. The PCB is in the process of finding a new coach for the national team. Mohsin has also served as chief selector since March 2010.”My aim has always been, like the Australians, to have equally capable players competing for one position in the national team and I think the selectors have succeeded in doing that,” he said. “I always wanted to coach the Pakistan team and for me it is a big challenge to also succeed as coach.”

Presidente do Santos, José Carlos Peres, deve se reunir com o empresário do volante Carlos Sánchez nesta terça-feira. O agente, Nelson Ferro, viaja ao Brasil nesta segunda. Conforme antecipado pelo LANCE!, sua vinda é crucial para um desfecho positivo nas tratativas. O Peixe está otimista quanto a contratação do jogador de 33 anos, que disputou a Copa do Mundo da Rússia com o Uruguai.

De férias em seu país natal após a disputa do Mundial, o atleta uruguaio do Monterrey, do México, só deve aparecer no Brasil depois do acerto, confiando a seu representante a missão de se acertar com o dirigente santista.

A pedida salarial inicial de Sánchez, de R$ 500 mil, assustou o Santos, que fez uma proposta de R$ 350 mil ao uruguaio e não pretende aumentar os valores para ter sucesso na negociação. Mesmo assim, os dirigentes santistas estão confiantes na contratação do volante.

O jogador tem contrato com o Monterrey até o fim da temporada, mas já foi informado de que não faz parte dos planos da equipe mexicana para o segundo semestre e, por isso, busca um novo clube.

Antes de Sánchez, o Santos já acertou a contratação do meia Bryan Ruiz, que passa férias na Costa Rica e já foi apresentado como jogador alvinegro. Além do volante uruguaio, a ideia do clube é buscar ainda outro nome para o setor de meio-campo e um atacante.

Andy Flower, the England team director, has said England will have to go “back to the drawing board” to figure out how to play one-day cricket in the subcontinent after they slumped to a 0-5 series defeat in India

ESPNcricinfo staff25-Oct-2011

Andy Flower, the England team director, has said England will have to go “back to the drawing board” to figure out how to play one-day cricket in the subcontinent after they slumped to a 0-5 series defeat in India. Flower said he thought England were better prepared for this series than they were when they were beaten by the same scoreline in 2008 but had been proved wrong by the results.”This is a bad setback for us and we have to go back to the drawing board in terms of playing one-day international cricket in the sub-continent,” he said. “We need time to reflect. I thought we’d learnt lessons from three years ago and put in place training drills which would equip our batsmen to deal better with the conditions out here, but I’m obviously wrong in that regard.”England ended the series in dismal fashion, losing their whole side for 47 in a dramatic collapse, after they were 129 for 0 chasing 272 at Eden Gardens. Alastair Cook, the England captain, said good starts and poor finishes had been a common theme of England’s performances through the series.”We set up the game beautifully to go on and win, but they bowled well and we played a couple of poor shots. It was a bit of a disappointing end and a bit of a common theme,” Cook said after the match in Kolkata. “We were in with a shout at 120-odd for nought and just got blown away at the end. It was very disappointing. We know you can lose wickets in clusters and we seem to have lost 10 there in a cluster.”While India’s spinners sparked England’s collapse, the victory had been set up by a fierce late onslaught from India’s captain MS Dhoni, who finished on 75 not out off 69 balls. Dhoni scored 212 runs in the series without being dismissed. He said he always focused on staying unbeaten till the end of an innings because then you could sum up which bowlers to go after.”I always want to stay to the end and whatever is in my area I look to hit it over the boundary,” he said. “It’s important to see which bowlers are left and who you can target. After that it’s about who can bear the pressure well.””It was an ugly looking wicket and any ball could swing or keep low,” Dhoni said of the Eden Gardens pitch. “It was very difficult to score on so we were fortunate to score 270 when 240 or 245 was in our minds. Then we just had to wait for the wicket to spin.”Cook praised Dhoni’s innings but said he thought India’s total was gettable. “Credit to MS; at the end he hits it very well, he’s a very hard person to bowl at and he single-handedly got them up to 270, which was probably gettable the way we started. But when you lose 10 for 50 you’re not going to win anything,” he said.Both Cook and Flower, though, insisted there were positives to take out of the series despite the emphatic scoreline. “Only four of us have played one-day series out here and it’s great for the youngsters to get the experience,” Cook said. “It will show where they need to improve and we all need to improve as a side. We got thoroughly beaten out here but there are quite a few positives; I thought Steven Finn [who took eight wickets over the five games] throughout the series has been excellent.”Flower said the bowling department had shown promise but unfortunately the batsmen had not been able to handle playing spin and had left the bowlers with too much to do. “Our skills weren’t good enough and our handling of the pressure wasn’t good enough,” he said. “We obviously haven’t got the players into a good enough state to deal with the challenges of playing spin, judging length and moving feet.”I think our bowling side has shown glimpses of skill and if there’d been reasonable totals on the board they would have been better at defending them. But unfortunately the bowlers have had to bowl to very attacking fields all the time because that was the only way to win because of our under-par totals.”

Moisés ficou revoltado pelo cartão amarelo que recebeu no primeiro tempo do jogo entre Palmeiras e Atlético-MG. Autor do primeiro gol do jogo, o camisa 10 foi comemorar atrás do gol, com a câmera de um fotógrafo, e acabou punido pelo árbitro Pericles Bassols por ter demorado demais em seu festejo.

Na ida para o intervalo, o meio-campista fez duras críticas à decisão, citando também o amarelo que Lucas Lima recebeu ao comemorar o gol contra o Santos. Esse cartão fez com que o camisa 20 tivesse de cumprir suspensão automática neste domingo.

– Vergonha. Não vou me omitir na resposta. No jogo passado, já puniram o Lucas (Lima). Era jogo de torcida única, tem que comemorar em algum lugar. Já não pode tirar a camisa, subir no alambrado. Se eu não puder comemorar também… Meus pais estão atrás do gol, fui comemorar com eles – explicou.

Após falha do ex-companheiro Juninho, Moisés fez o gol e correu até o Gol Norte, onde pegou a máquina do fotógrafo do clube, Cesar Greco, e celebrou com os familiares como se usasse um cajado, em alusão ao apelido de Profeta. Ele já havia feito algo parecido como no Dérbi em 2016, na Arena Corinthians.

– Não sei se é com todos os times ou só com o Palmeiras. É uma comemoração que tenho com a torcida pelo apelido. Estão tentando inibir a gente até de comemorar gol, um momento tão marcante no futebol. Uma vergonha – completou.
