Some late hitting from Ragheb Aga and three wickets each from Collins Obuya and Elijah Oteino helped Kenya win the second T20 against Canada in Dubai and share the series 1-1. Having scored 139 after electing to bat, Kenya dismissed Canada for 118 with seven balls to spare.The top five Kenya batsmen reached double-figures but couldn’t score more than 20 as they lost wickets regularly and were 76 for 5, primarily due to two wickets from left-arm spinner Hiral Patel. Rakep Patel and Aga then put on 57 off 37 for the sixth wicket which helped them reach 139.After Canada lost Rizwan Cheema in the second over, Hiral and Ruvindu Gunasekera kept them in the hunt, scoring 45 together. But Obuya and Otieno took six of the remaining nine wickets as Canada lost their last seven for 35 runs. Only one other batsman, apart from Hiral and Gunasekera, Usman Limbada reached double figures with a 12-ball 21 but Canada fell short by 21 runs.

ESPNcricinfo staff21-Apr-2013
ScorecardKenya continued their dominance in the T20 Quadrangular tournament, beating South Africa Emerging Players by five wickets on Sunday. The win puts them at the top of the table with two wins in two games.Kenya, who won the toss, inserted South Africa Emerging Players and backed that decision by dismissing the openers quickly. A 56-run, third-wicket partnership between captain Jean Symes and Yaseen Vallie steadied the innings. Vallie added another 50 runs with David Wiese for the fourth wicket and once Vallie fell for 61, Wiese carried on, guiding the middle order to 174 for 6.Kenya’s top and middle order set up the chase. Opener Tanmay Mishra led the way with a 32-ball 45, before Morris Ouma, Collins Obuya and Rakep Patel struck useful 30s to guide Kenya to a close win, with two balls to spare.

MatériaMais Notícias

O Bahia não parou de reforçar o seu elenco pensando na sequência de competições que terá pela frente e, na última quarta-feira (6), oficializou a chegada de mais uma opção de ataque: Arthur Caíke, ex-Chapecoense e que estava no Al-Shabab-ARA.

A equipe de Salvador chegou a um acordo junto com o time saudita e os direitos do jogador de 26 anos de idade seguem ligados ao Al-Shabab. Isso porque o vínculo firmado por Arthur com o Esquadrão de Aço é de empréstimo com duração até julho de 2020, situação essa que torna mais viável financeiramente a contratação.

مصطفى شوبير يكشف تفاصيل حديث كولر والشناوي معه قبل المشاركة بنهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا

كشف مصطفى شوبير حارس مرمى النادي الأهلي، عن حديث المدير الفني للفريق مارسيل كولر ومحمد الشناوي معه قبل المشاركة في ذهاب نهائي دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

وحرس شوبير عرين الأهلي أمام الوداد في مباراة ذهاب نهائي دوري الأبطال، لإصابة محمد الشناوي وعدم جاهزية علي لطفي.

وتوج الأهلي ببطولة دوري أبطال إفريقيا للمرة الـ 11 في تاريخه، بعد الفوز على الوداد بنتيجة 3-2 بمجموع مباراتي الذهاب والإياب لنهائي البطولة القارية.

وقال شوبير خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج جمهور التالتة على قناة أون تايم سبورت 2: “هذه المباراة رزق لي، وركزت في التدريبات وأخذت بالأسباب وأغلقت هاتفي لكي أصفي ذهني وأركز في المباراة”.

وأضاف: “كل اللاعبين كانوا يدعموني بلا استثناء، أنا ذهبت للشناوي بعد أن علمت أنه خارج القائمة لكي أقول له لا تحزن، لكنه صافحني وقال لي ركز وعيش في المباراة واعتبرها مباراة عادية، ولا تفعل المستحيل لأنك حارس جيد”.

وتابع: “أنا أثق في نفسي ولست في حاجة لكي أثبت شيء، ولدي حسن ظن بالله، وهذا لا يجعلني أشعر بالقلق، أحيانًا تأتي لي أفكار سلبية لأنني بني آدم، لكنني أطرد هذه الأفكار من ذهني”.

وأكمل: “والدي (أحمد شوبير) لا يتحدث معي كثيرًا، هو يترك لي مساحتي للتفكير، ويثق في بشكل كبير”.

وأردف: “دخلنا المعسكر قبل المباراة بيومين، الشناوي كان خارج القائمة، وكنت موجودًا أنا وعلي، بعد ذلك كولر طلبني ليجلس معي، ذهبت له وقال لي أنا لا أعرف إذا كنت تشعر بذلك أم لا ولكنك ستلعب المباراة النهائية، قلت له أنا بالفعل كنت اشعر بذلك وهيأت نفسي”.

وأتم: “قال لي أريدك أن تلعب بنفس طريقتك وثقتك بنفسك وثقتي بك ليس لها حدود، ولا أحتاج أن اقول لك أكثر من ذلك، هذا ما قاله لي بالحرف، الجلسة لم تستغرق دقيقتين”.

Murtagh leaves Somerset begrumpled

David Hopps at Taunton16-May-2013
ScorecardTim Murtagh called his day in Taunton among the best of his career•Middlesex CCC

There is something impressively businesslike about Middlesex. They came to Taunton with definite Championship credentials. They will expect to return to London by the weekend with that reputation enhanced.They look brisk, vigorous and confident in their good habits, the smart, well-drilled side down from the big city. Fifteen Somerset wickets in 56 overs tend to do wonders for your belief. Fifteen Somerset wickets in 56 overs : such things do not happen.Tim Murtagh, the leading Division One wicket taker with 28 at 15 runs apiece, so far has eight wickets for spit in the match. He has an insistent, all-brushed-up style, swings the ball and, at 31, is logically approaching his peak. He felt so good in himself that afterwards he even described the day as probably the best in his career.Victory against Somerset would take them to the top of the First Division with the LV= Championship not far short of midway and encourage hopes of winning their first title for 20 years when Mike Gatting was at the helm.Gatt would drink to that; in fact, he would probably eat to it as well. He should start tucking in his napkin now because on the evidence of the past two days they have a good shout. If there is disarray and dismay south of the Thames, there is organisation and stability to the north of it.When the West Country tyro, Jamie Overton, completed the opening day well on the way to a career-best 6 for 95, he had been the only Somerset quick to make much of an impression on a pitch which, although green, did not – as Overton related – do as much as Somerset expected. Then when Middlesex bowled, it presumably did considerably more than they ever imagined.Murtagh did not find as much swing as he can, nor Toby Roland-Jones as much bounce, nor James Harris as much fortune (certainly first time around), but backed up by committed fielding they took hold of the match within a few hours in a manner that Taunton crowds, more used to run gluts, have rarely witnessed in recent seasons.For a brief period, it seemed as if Middlesex might even win inside two days as they enforced the follow-on with a lead of 195. Memories of Somerset’s failure to beat Warwickshire when Marcus Trescothick failed to enforce the follow-on last month were still strong.Then Somerset had already bowled 65 overs and Trescothick insisted afterwards that he had no regrets: the bowlers were tired and the pitch was flat. On this occasion, it was a no-brainer; Somerset’s first innings had only lasted 45 overs so exhaustion did not come into it and there was enough encouragement to keep Middlesex’s bowlers interested.That prospect of a two-day finish was removed by a crisp half-century from Peter Trego, with Jos Buttler in subdued support, but they remain 83 runs in arrears. Even Tractor resorted to heavy irony as Trego’s flurry brought Roland-Jones falling to the floor in his follow-through. “On the way, on the way,” he roared. Trego had also put up most resistance in Somerset’s first innings before he was ninth man out, having a blast at Neil Dexter.Murtagh never let Somerset’s top order rest. After reaping 4 for 28 first time around, he followed up with 4 for 18 with the new ball to leave Somerset tottering at 35 for 5 by the 11th over.Arul Suppiah, was lbw without scoring and is yet to reach 20 in six knocks; Alviro Petersen, who will soon be heading off for the Champions Trophy, was averaging 82 in the Championship, but Murtagh has picked him off for 0 and 4 here. James Hildreth and Lewis Gregory also succumbed to Murtagh in both innings, Hildreth at slip, Gregory lbw, the same dismissals twice in a few hours.It was the sort of beautiful late afternoon that Taunton delivers as invitingly as anywhere on the county circuit, the sunshine and blue skies enhanced by the fraternal nature of the crowd, but two old Somerset boys had seen enough as they headed for the exit, walking sticks a swinging. “They should bring back Rosey,” burred one of them. If they weren’t exactly angry they were certainly, to resort to an old Somerset phrase, a bit begrumpled.Suitably, they were walking through the Brian Rose gates at the time, named in honour of their former director of cricket who stood down at the end of last season because he was weary of finishing second – or because he knew this Somerset side was beyond its best.If his replacement, David Nosworthy, is to gain the same affection, the old boys muttered, he would be advised to cut down on the management speak to explain what looks likely to be a rare Somerset failure in front of their own supporters. They don’t like too much of that around here.

Quem domina? Fla-Flu colocará frente a frente os dois times de maior posse de bola no Carioca

MatériaMais Notícias

“Tem apenas uma bola, então você precisa tê-la”. A frase do holandês Johan Cruyff, ex-jogador e ex-técnico de Barcelona e Ajax, falecido em 2006, sintetiza bem a ideia de jogo atual de algumas das principais equipes do mundo. No Brasil, esse modelo baseado na posse de bola vem ganhando cada vez mais adeptos.

O Santos de Jorge Sampaoli, por exemplo, um dos grandes entusiastas deste estilo, tem a maior média de posse de bola entre as principais equipes do Brasil no Estadual, com 66%, segundo dados do Footstats. Na segunda posição, aparece o Fluminense de Fernando Diniz, com 65%, outro treinador que tem no jogo apoiado sua principal característica.

Mesmo não sendo um treinador da nova geração, Abel Braga tem implantado, ainda que de forma mais tímida, o mesmo modelo no Flamengo 2019. Com 59% de domínio no Carioca, a equipe é a terceira colocada no fundamento entre os chamados 12 grandes, ficando logo à frente da dupla Grêmio e Internacional, com 58% cada.

Adversários desta quinta-feira, quando duelarão pela semifinal da Taça Guanabara, Fla e Flu adotam a mesma estratégia, de ter a posse para controlar as ações e, consequentemente, a partida. Com a bola, atacam e se defendem. No entanto, os times exercem isso com uma dinâmica diferente, e esse pode ser o segredo para se chegar à vitória no clássico.

Para manter a posse, o Tricolor utiliza bastante a saída de seus zagueiros e laterais, além de um volante que muitas vezes se junto à dupla de zaga para auxiliar na troca de passes. Já a equipe de Abel controla a partir da participação constante de seus meias na distribuição de jogo, diminuindo o peso de seus defensores, que participam, mas em menor escala.

Isso fica claro quando analisamos individualmente a porcentagem de cada jogador. O lateral-esquerdo Mascarenhas e o zagueiro Matheus Ferraz são os líderes em posse de bola do campeonato, enquanto que o cabeça de área Aírton é o que mais troca passes. No Rubro-Negro, Cuellar, Diego e Éverton Ribeiro, nessa ordem, são os que mais tempo passam com a redonda, com o colombiano e o camisa 10, respectivamente, sendo 1º e 2º no ranking de toques certos na equipe.

O time de Diniz gira a bola na sua primeira linha, atraindo o adversário para uma marcação mais alta, o que coloca constantemente seus atacantes em duelos individuais, favorecendo a habilidade de seus externos. Não à toa o Flu é o time que mais busca o drible na competição (33) e o que mais acerta (22). Destaque para Everaldo, líder no quesito com seis acertos em dez tentados.

O Flamengo também tem nos seus meias mais abertos o caminho preferencial para o gol. Porém, novamente, o faz de outra maneira. O Rubro-Negro é o time que mais cruza bolas na área adversária, com 164 tentativas. Éverton Ribeiro, com 31, é quem mais tenta. O ponto favorável é que o time tem o melhor aproveitamento no fundamento entre os quatro grandes, acertando 32.3%. O Flu, seu rival, tem o pior: apenas 19,7%.

Apesar da dinâmica ofensiva diferente, o Fla-Flu desta quinta-feira promete ser um duelo de posse de bola, onde quem a conseguir ter por mais tempo não só poderá impôr seu jogo como conseguirá – ao menos na teoria – impedir o do outro. Quem domina quem?

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians se reapresentou na tarde desta sexta-feira, no CT Joaquim Grava, após empate em 1 a 1 com o Racing, da Argentina, pela Copa Sul-Americana. Apenas os reservas foram a campo. Durante alguns minutos, os jogadores treinaram com um forte temporal. Foi a primeira atividade antes do clássico contra o São Paulo, no domingo, em Itaquera. A próxima (e última) será neste sábado, fechada à imprensa.

Dos jogadores que foram a campo contra o Racing, apenas Pedrinho, Clayson e Sergio Díaz participaram do coletivo em campo reduzido nesta sexta. Os três foram acionados no segundo tempo da partida e, por isso, puderam treinar normalmente no dia seguinte.Os titulares ficaram na parte interna para um regenerativo.

Em campo, Fábio Caraille dividiu em dois times seus jogadores reservas. De colete: Michel Macedo, Pedro Henrique, Léo Santos, Richard, Araos, Pedrinho, Gustavo Silva, Sergio Diaz e Boselli. Já sem colete: João, Marllon, Avelar, Thiaguinho, Junior Urso, Clayson, Oya, Mateus Vital e André Luis. Por fim, Marquinhos e Romero foram usados como coringas.

Troubled Royals aim to continue fairytale

A preview of the second qualifier between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals in Kolkata

The Preview by Abhishek Purohit23-May-2013Match factsFriday, May 24, 2013
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Rahul Dravid: Driving troubles away•BCCI

Big pictureIf Rajasthan Royals are able to produce two more good games, it will be a fairytale for them, according to their captain Rahul Dravid. In many ways, irrespective of what happens next, it is already a fairytale, one that has played out alongside a horrid nightmare during the past week. For a side like Royals to stand on par with and challenge the mightiest of IPL franchises, such as Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, is nothing short of a fairytale.Sanju Samson, Dishant Yagnik, Stuart Binny, Vikramjeet Malik, Pravin Tambe, and Siddharth Trivedi up against million-dollar superstars. Unknowns against men such as Lasith Malinga and Kieron Pollard, who have defined Twenty20 cricket. A think-tank of Dravid, Paddy Upton, Monty Desai, and Zubin Bharucha, against a think-tank of John Wright, Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Anil Kumble, Jonty Rhodes and Robin Singh. “We don’t believe in having bowling and fielding coaches,” Dravid said. Belief comes automatically when you can’t afford to have the luxury of a bloated support staff.Even in a format that reduces relative superiority due to its crunched length, the second qualifier looks like a no-contest. But this is a knockout bout. Players and sides do strange things under pressure, especially in T20. They do stranger things in a T20 knockout situation. Ask Mumbai Indians. It’s a phenomenon that keeps getting stranger and stranger with every passing season: they are yet to win an IPL title in five previous attempts. Their embarrassment of riches somehow turns into a proper embarrassment come knockout time. The latest instance was the first qualifier against Super Kings two days ago.Dravid was right when he said after winning the eliminator that the pressure was on Mumbai Indians. Royals have made the playoffs for the first time in five seasons. They had little to lose against Sunrisers Hyderabad, and they will have less to lose against Mumbai Indians, a side that will feel it has not done well if it does not win the title, according to Dravid. Not only was that a smart way of reminding the opposition of the cross of expectation they bear, it was also the bitter truth.Still, if Mumbai Indians had been asked to pick an opponent in a knockout situation, they would probably have chosen Royals, and would probably hope they could play the match as if it was a regular league game.Form guide(Most recent first)Mumbai Indians LLWWW
Rajasthan Royals WLLWWIn the spotlightTalent is supposed to meet opportunity in the IPL. The former word has become almost synonymous with Rohit Sharma, and the IPL is one place where he’s delivered. With men such as Tendulkar and Ponting in the team, Rohit was handed the captaincy, and racked up win after win in the league stage. He also holed out at the first sign of pressure in the qualifier against Super Kings. Mumbai Indians will expect a much cooler head from their captain in the knockout.There could have been a stage during the past week when Rahul Dravid would have wondered what had he done to face such adversity at the sunset of his career. “Like bereavement,” he called it. When one ran into some Royals players at the Hyderabad airport last Sunday, you could see they weren’t thinking about the eliminator in Delhi. All they wanted was to get away from the glare, back to base in Jaipur, and spend a few quiet days there. Dravid spoke of how the squad shared “a lot of emotions” during conversations. He would have been at the forefront of those talks. A reserved, private man going out of his comfort zone to ensure his players felt comfortable again. The poker face should be back on at Eden Gardens.Stats and trivia James Faulkner’s 5 for 16 against Sunrisers in Hyderabad are the best figures this season. The next-best figures, 5 for 20, also belong to Faulkner, and also came against Sunrisers, in Jaipur. Stuart Binny has bowled the most economical spell this season, 2-0-3-1, against Delhi Daredevils in Jaipur. Mitchell Johnson has the joint third most economical full spell, 4-0-8-2, against Pune Warriors in Pune. This is the first time Lasith Malinga has conceded more than 400 runs in an IPL season Rohit Sharma has had his most productive IPL season – 534 runs at a strike-rate of 134.84Quotes”It was a very tough phase for us. It was a blow to the team. It’s something I have never experienced anything like. It’s like bereavement in some ways.”
