Somerset extended their lead at the top of the Clydesdale Bank 40 Group C table but they had to settle for a point after no result was possible in their clash with Lancashire Lightning at Old Trafford

18-Jul-2011
Scorecard
Somerset extended their lead at the top of the Clydesdale Bank 40 Group C table but they had to settle for a point after no result was possible in their clash with Lancashire Lightning at Old Trafford.Rain throughout the day in Manchester prevented play starting until 8.15pm, which meant the clash was reduced to 15 overs per side. But there was more wet weather to come after 7.4 overs of Lancashire’s innings with the hosts struggling at 39 for 3 on a turning track.Somerset, last year’s runners-up, may have moved one point clear of Essex after six matches but this result ended their 100 percent record in this year’s competition. Spinners Murali Kartik, Max Waller and Arul Suppiah bowled 5.4 of the 7.4 overs – with the former two taking the new ball.Indian Kartik, a former Lancashire overseas player, struck with the sixth ball of the match when he had Stephen Moore caught at point by Craig Meschede. Lightning stand-in captain Steven Croft, who had earlier won the toss, hit two boundaries off Waller’s first over but he and his partners failed to find the fence again until the seventh over when he pulled Meschede’s medium pace to the fence twice.During that time opener Karl Brown became the second wicket to go, trapped lbw by Alfonso Thomas for one to leave the score at 15 for 2 in the third over. Paul Horton struggled for any rhythm during his innings of 7 not out off 17 balls and he lost Croft lbw to the legspin of Waller the ball before the rain arrived as Jordan Clark made his way to the crease.Croft, whose side have only won two of their six matches, finished with 26 off 18 balls. Kartik claimed figures of 1 for 6 from two overs, and Thomas 1 for 1 from one over.

The WICB management will write to Chris Gayle after a meeting of its board of directors on June 17, outlining the way forward in the ongoing discord between the former captain and the administrators

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Jun-2011

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) management will write to Chris Gayle after a meeting of its board of directors on June 17, outlining the way forward in the ongoing discord between the former captain and the administrators.Ahead of that meeting, the two parties involved in the feud released their versions of the meeting on June 14, which ended without a decision on a timeframe and concrete process for Gayle’s reinstatement in the West Indies side, or whether he would be reinstated at all.The upshot is that Gayle’s future is in limbo, and he won’t play the first Test against India at Sabina Park, beginning on June 20. Gayle himself, according to the Aide Memoire of that June 14 meeting kept by the WIPA and released by Caribbean Sports Media Online (CSMO), “emphasised his concern that the timeframe for his reinstatement to the West Indies team seemed to be indefinite”. He also sought clarification on why he was not considered for selection for the limited-overs matches against India after indicating his availability to the WICB.The West Indies board later issued another release saying it had “has rejected it [Aide Memoire] as an accurate account of the meeting.”According to the minutes, released by the CSMO, Gayle had attended it certain the issues would be resolved amicably and he would be selected in the West Indies squad because he had not been a subject of disciplinary action previously in his international career.The WICB, however, outlined reasons why Gayle was not selected for the limited-overs matches against India, and could not be selected until issues regarding his public criticism of the board and the team management were resolved.”The comments made by him [Gayle] in the KLAS interview had created much ill-will with team management and unless there was a settling of differences, it would be difficult to see how the parties could harmoniously function,” the WICB said in its release.In a reference to Gayle playing the IPL while West Indies were hosting Pakistan, the WICB said that its board of directors would have to establish guidelines on “on how to handle players who, for reasons other than fitness or personal distress, make themselves unavailable for selection but expect to be selected whenever they deem it necessary to make themselves available.”At the meeting, the WICB was represented by chief executive Ernest Hilaire, West Indies coach Ottis Gibson, director of cricket Anthony Howard and team manager Richie Richardson, while WIPA chief Dinanath Ramnarine and vice-president Wavell Hinds accompanied Gayle.The WICB said it “outlined to Gayle that the board has had issues historically in communicating with him and establishing a productive working relationship. Exceptional efforts had been made, especially during his tenure as captain, to establish that relationship.” They cited Gayle’s announcements on Twitter – about him wanting to take a break from the game and the mid-series cancellation of the tour of Sri Lanka because of incessant rain, among others – and his comments to KLAS Sports, a radio station in Jamaica.WIPA rejected those charges by saying, “Gayle’s conduct was a response to how he felt the board treated him and had tarnished his name and reputation.”Gayle also raised the issue of “being threatened” when he was sent a contract for the 2011 World Cup by Hilaire. According to WIPA’s Aide Memoire, Gayle, who was in Australia at the time, had requested for the contract documents to be sent to the players’ association so that he could be “properly advised”.”As a result of that request, the WICB CEO responded by informing Chris Gayle that if he did not sign the agreement by [the following] Monday at 4.30pm the CEO would instruct the selectors to pick another player. The CEO further stated that he does not have to send any agreements to WIPA and he will not be doing so. Mr Ramnarine pointed out in the Collective Agreement where the WICB was required to do so. Agreement for the WC 2011 was reached several days after, but at the time when Chris Gayle had inquired no agreement was reached.”Ramnarine insisted the WICB copy the WIPA on all correspondence to the players, saying it was “part of the process the parties have agreed to in the various agreements and expressed disappointment at the failure of the WICB to follow that process”. Hilaire did not agree, and insisted he would continue writing directly to the players.

The former Surrey and England fast bowler, Peter Loader, has died at his home in Australia at the age of 81

Martin Williamson16-Mar-2011

Peter Loader, the Surrey fast bowler who played 13 Tests for England taking 39 wickets, has died at his home in Australia the age of 81.Loader, who played 298 matches for Surrey between 1951 and 1963, taking 1108 wickets at 18.66, was a key member of the all-conquering side which won the County Championship seven seasons in succession between 1952 and 1958.”His pace, ability to make the ball move late in its flight, and his skill in disguising the occasional slower delivery placed him in the forefront of present-day fast bowlers,” Wisden noted at the time he was named one of its Five Cricketers of the Year in 1958. “He helped substantially in the carrying off by Surrey of the [titles].” There were at times questions over the legality of his action but he was never called for throwing.Loader’s England opportunities were restricted by the alternatives available, and he was never able to command a regular place, although he was good enough to be included on two Ashes tours. His debut came against Pakistan in 1954 when Alec Bedser was left out “to give Peter a go” – the move backfired as England slumped to their first defeat against Pakistan. His Test highpoint came at Leeds in 1957 when he took 6 for 36 against West Indies, including England’s first post-war hat-trick, and the only one until Dominic Cork at Old Trafford in 1995.For Surrey he passed 100 wickets in a season seven times, forming a potent new-ball pairing with Alec Bedser. He retired at the end of 1963 and emigrated to Australia where he played his final first-class match for Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield.After that he assisted another Surrey legend, Tony Lock, in coaching the state side as well as establishing a successful haulage business and carving a niche as a broadcaster.Micky Stewart, who played alongside Loader during the 1950s and captained him in his final match for Surrey said: “Peter was one of the finest quick swing bowlers that I knew in my playing time and it was a privilege to play with him.”He was a very competitive and aggressive bowler and his accuracy and control in swinging the ball both ways was incredible, demonstrated by the number of bowled and LBW victims he got. As well as this, he had exceptional control over his bouncer and a very dangerous slower ball, all delivered from his characteristic wiry physique.”Surrey chairman Richard Thompson added: “Peter was one of Surrey’s great sons and his death is a real loss to the club. He was part of a dynasty whose impact will always be felt at Surrey and his contribution to that incredible side was enormous. It’s very sad whenever any of the club’s famous sons passes away but particularly one who has made such a big contribution.”In all, Loader took 1326 first-class wickets at 19.04 with a best of 9 for 17. A genuine No. 11, he scored 2314 runs at 8.50.

Former Tamil Nadu batsman Tirumalai Srinivasan died on Monday morning after a long struggle against brain cancer. The 60-year-old had had two surgeries and was due to have a third when he passed away.Srinivasan was first noticed when he hit 112 for South Zone against North Zone in the Duleep Trophy in the 1977-78 season. A string of consistent performances, culminating in an innings of 129 in the 1980-81 Deodhar Trophy final and an unbeaten ton against Delhi in the Irani Trophy, earned him a place in the India squad for that season’s tour of Australia and New Zealand. A famous anecdote from that tour captured Srinivasan’s witty outlook to life. When he landed in Australia, Srinivasan allegedly told a local press reporter, “‘Tell Dennis Lillee TE has arrived”. He could, however, not make an impact on the field, scoring 48 runs in his solitary Test in Auckland, and failing in two one-dayers.In an era that included the likes of Kris Srikkanth, Srinivasan was considered by many to be the best batsman of his times to play for Tamil Nadu. Though his international career did not take off, he was quite successful when he turned out in the Yorkshire League for the local outfit Wodehouse. Former England captain Michael Atherton, in his autobiography , documented his appreciation of Srinivasan’s strokeplay in the league. “A swashbuckling batsman from Madras, Srinivasan was everything that [Sri Lanka’s Sidath] Wettimuny was not – wild, aggressive, and totally unorthodox,” Atherton wrote. “He was a stalwart for Tamil Nadu, in India, for many years.”S Venkataraghavan, the former India and Tamil Nadu offspinner, recalled Srinivasan as being a wonderful friend. “He enjoyed his cricket as much as he enjoyed life,” he said. “In my opinion, he was one of the best I have seen. His death is a great personal loss to me.”The latter part of Srinivasan’s life was dominated by his protracted battle against cancer. He underwent his first surgery immediately after being diagnosed with a malignant tumour at the age of 54, following which he managed to lead a near-normal life. However, a risky second surgery to remove the residual tumour and scar tissue, that had formed due to his treatment, left him almost paralysed and speechless. He responded remarkably to an advanced second line of therapy recommended by doctors from New York University. Having put up a brave front against the disease, Srinivasan was keen to help cancer patients and dreamt of setting up a hospital or a foundation to that end. Unfortunately, he could not live long enough to see the cause through to its completion.

Revelado nas categorias de base do Flamengo, o lateral-direito Alex Santos, 25 anos, está pronto para voltar ao futebol de alto nível. A saída do Brasil foi precoce, logo depois do título da Copa São Paulo de Futebol Junior, em 2011, defendendo o Rubro-Negro. O objetivo para 2018 é atuar novamente em território nacional, o que já aconteceu em temporadas recentes, mas com o intuito de se firmar e dar continuidade ao início promissor.

Alex deixou o Flamengo ainda em 2011 e foi defender as cores do Vitesse, da Holanda. A idade adulta para o futebol chegou justamente nos Países Baixos, onde Alex ficou até a temporada de 2014, quando voltou ao Rio de Janeiro para atuar pelo Botafogo. Recentemente, passagens por Tombense (MG), Tigres do Brasil (RJ) e Atlético Tubarão (SC), o último clube, e algumas sondagens para voltar ao futebol de sua cidade natal.

– Tenho o privilégio de ser formado em um dos maiores clubes do mundo. Logo depois fui para o futebol da Holanda, que também dá muita atenção para os jogadores mais novos. Estou aproveitando essa casca que ganhei no período da base e de início entre os profissionais. Quero me restabelecer no mercado e estou trabalhando forte pra isso. Tenho certeza que o melhor estar por vir, e a mesma certeza que pra isso acontecer preciso continuar trabalhando – comentou o lateral-direito.

O período em clubes de massa, como Flamengo e Botafogo, têm um carinho especial no currículo de Alex, assim como o período que atuou na Holanda. No entanto, as atuações em equipes mais modestas também ensinaram muito ao jogador. Em especial, o Tigres do Brasil, da Baixada Fluminense, um clube novo, mas que com sua boa estrutura ensinou boas lições ao lateral-direito.

– A gente cresce nos clubes grandes e tem os menores como adversários, algo natural, desde muito cedo. Só que é quando se está do outro lado que temos dimensão da importância de um trabalho bem feito. Flamengo e Botafogo sempre estão arrecadando e vendendo bons jogadores, aí fica um pouco mais confortável para dar estrutura. No Tigres eu via o esforço de todo mundo, de cada pessoa, para dar dignidade aos jogadores e uma estrutura invejável, principalmente por ser uma equipe menor. É um tipo de aprendizado que a gente leva pro resto da vida. Hoje carrego isso comigo. Preciso me esforçar sempre, dar o meu máximo, para alcançar meus objetivos – concluiu o jogador.

Após o fim do contrato com o Atlético Tubarão, Alex ficou disponível no mercado. Atualmente, o atleta segue trabalhando nas partes física e técnica para voltar a atuar da melhor forma possível. Enquanto isso, sondagens e consultas fazem parte da rotina do lateral, que aguarda a melhor condição para entrar em campo novamente.

Leeds United employee Noel Whelan has hailed Jesse Marsch’s man-management skills following his impressive start to life at Elland Road.

The Lowdown: Marsch talks

Marsch has helped the Whites pull eight points clear of safety over recent weeks after picking up three wins and a draw from the last four games.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-news-42/” title=”Latest Leeds United news!” poster=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cropped-2022-03-10T184055Z_1834933207_UP1EI3A1FW561_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND-LEE-AVA-REPORT-1-scaled-1.jpg” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The American gave an in-depth interview to talkSPORT from Thorp Arch last week, revealing that his first message to the players was to remain ‘calm’ and that he looked to implement his playing philosophy and mentality on a day-to-day basis.

That has impressed Whelan, who has been full of praise for the 48-year-old when talking to Football Insider.

The Latest: Whelan reacts

Former Leeds striker Whelan, who is now an employee of the club, labelled the work Marsch has done as ‘quite incredible’ and described his approachability as ‘massive’.

“He has got up to speed pretty quickly from where he was and where the players were.

“He’s gone in and changed that around. The players have bought into it. He has probably asked the players, one-on-one, what it is they need as well.

“I think it’s really important that you find out from the players first hand so you’ve got something to go off. He’s one of these men that is open to suggestions and he’s open to the players talking to him.

“I think that’s really important because that is a massive part of the game now, man-managing. Not just a squad, but every individual player as well.

“Their needs, what they need from a training session and the rest they need as well. Rest and recuperation is just as important as the intensity that you’re putting out there on the training ground.

“He’s come in and done a really, really educated job with the players. To do it in such a short space of time is quite incredible. There’s no doubt he has got all the credentials you need to be very successful at Leeds.”

The Verdict: Good signs

Taking over from club legend Marcelo Bielsa with Leeds seriously flirting with relegation was always going to be a huge task for Marsch, however, he has rose to the challenge despite a tough first week.

His message about staying calm appears to have done the trick around the training ground, even if fans have remained anything but calm with dramatic stoppage-time winners against Norwich City and Wolves.

Those four points, gained thanks to strikes from Joe Gelhardt and Luke Ayling, could prove to be the difference come the end of the season, where hopefully, Marsch will be preparing for a first full year in charge as a Premier League manager.

Tottenham Hotspur and Antonio Conte have now been gifted a triple boost before their game at home to Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The Lowdown: Tough task

Spurs fans know that even though they are at home, beating the Seagulls to progress through to the next round will not be easy.

While they overcame League One Morecambe at home in the third round, Graham Potter’s men edged out an away win against Championship side West Brom.

In the Premier League, only two places and six points separate the two sides, while Brighton have actually conceded fewer goals and lost fewer matches than the North London club (Premier League), suggesting that the game could be tight.

The Latest: Early team news

As per The Evening Standard, new signing Dejan Kulusevski has now been granted a work permit, and so is in line to make his debut, although the Sweden international is ‘unlikely’ to start.

In addition, Son Heung-Min has now returned to full training, while Cristian Romero is ‘expected’ to feature for the Lilywhites for the first time since early November after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The Verdict: Huge boost

It certainly is a boost for Conte to have two of his main players back, as well as Kulusevski as a new and exciting option.

He is thought of very highly by both the Italian manager and Fabio Paratici, who see him as a ‘gem’ with big potential, and on loan from Juventus, the 21-year-old will certainly have a point to prove.

Nonetheless, what better way to introduce himself to the THFC faithful than by scoring on his debut and sending them through to the next round.

Given that rivals Yorkshire and Somerset may have to settle for draws in their respective matches, Division One leaders Nottinghamshire have an opportunity to make a decisive break in the title race here

Jon Culley at Trent Bridge25-Aug-2010
ScorecardChris Read played an important role alongside Alex Hales to steady Nottinghamshire•Getty ImagesGiven that rivals Yorkshire and Somerset may have to settle for draws in their respective matches, Division One leaders Nottinghamshire have an opportunity to make a decisive break in the title race here, which makes the state of the match when rain brought a premature end to the second day all the more fascinating.Lancashire, of course, are not out of contention themselves just yet, even if their prospects of leaping from fourth to first between now and September 16th require a healthy dose of optimism and some kind autumn weather.Nottinghamshire clearly had the better of things on day two here but it was a day which demonstrated how quickly the picture can change on this ground, especially when the ball begins to swing. Alex Hales and Chris Read, the two batsmen at the crease overnight, have done much already to keep their side in the game but will have gone to bed aware that they will probably need to do as much again on day three if Nottinghamshire are to gain the upper hand.With batting appreciably more difficult than it had appeared for much of the opening day, the unbeaten 87 from 21-year-old Hales that kept the leaders on an even keel as they sought to build a competitive reply to Lancashire’s 319 was a brave effort, even if he did have luck on his side on at least two occasions.He and Read had shared a partnership worth 84 when the rain sweeping up from the south arrived at tea. But with David Hussey gone and his replacement, Adam Voges, not due in England until next week, Nottinghamshire’s batting is below strength and if the fifth-wicket pair are parted early on day three, Lancashire will fancy themselves to run through the rest without suffering too much damage.As it stands, Nottinghamshire are still 141 behind, a margin which is no small matter. Knowing local conditions as they do, Nottinghamshire would have been more than happy to be close to 320 had they batted first.Yet Lancashire, out for 319, ought to have had more, swing or no swing. Decent total though it might have been, it hid a substantial collapse, the measure of which can be gauged by the fact that, before Shivnarine Chanderpaul was out on Tuesday, they were 280 for 2.But then they lost three wickets in eight balls during a calamitous last four overs on the first evening and continued on the same wobbly trajectory on the second morning, when they lost four more wickets in the space of 14 deliveries.The sum consequence, adding the two catastrophic passages together, was that they gave away their last seven wickets for 27 runs in the space of 56 balls.There was more success for Andre Adams, who laughed at being mentioned in the same breath as Sir Richard Hadlee, another New Zealander who did fairly well at Trent Bridge, on Monday evening, but can nonetheless be described nowadays as a fine bowler.He finished with two wickets in two balls on Monday, and while he could not complete the hat-trick it was not long before he was acknowledging more compliments from his team-mates as Luke Sutton edged to third slip.Ryan Sidebottom ended Mark Chilton’s five-hour 67 with an uncontestable leg-before, after which Adams removed Saj Mahmood and Kyle Hogg with the first and last balls of the 100th over to finish with 6 for 79, his best figures for Nottinghamshire.Now 35, Adams might consider his better years behind him, given that it is eight years since he won his only Test cap and three since the last of his appearances in the New Zealand one-day side. But lately he has flourished as a bowler with Nottinghamshire and his tally of 51 first-class wickets at 23.06 this year — his best for one season — follows 48 last summer. His dressing room neighbours at Trent Bridge might have more illustrious reputations but there is none who has made a more valuable contribution in the last couple of years.The downside to shooting out their opponents so quickly was that Nottinghamshire faced 19 overs before lunch in the same humid, overcast conditions, against a Lancashire attack no less proficient than theirs at exploiting them.It was no surprise that they lost Matt Wood, Mark Wagh and Samit Patel cheaply as Glen Chapple, Mahmood and Hogg took a wicket each, via two catches behind the stumps and one at second slip. Mahmood, who bowled a consistent line just outside off stump, might have had one or two more, with better luck.But the bowling lacked enough discipline in the afternoon and Hales and the wily Ali Brown put on 57 before Mahmood made another breakthrough, bringing one back to trap the latter in front.Hales, an opener who stands tall and bats straight, looks a decent prospect and packs a solid, attractive drive. He had some luck, though. He was dropped by Steven Croft at second slip on 78 off Tom Smith and by Smith at second slip off Hogg on 81. Hales acknowledged he had been fortunate, but also believes it could be a breakthrough innings in his first season as a regular in the Championship side.”I made a hundred against Hampshire earlier in the season but this is a massive game for us in terms of the Championship and this has been the highlight of my season so far,” he said. “If we can keep Lancashire from winning or even win it ourselves it will be a really valuable game.”You are never really in at Trent Bridge and I was dropped a couple of times but I hope I can cash in now and help the team.”

Barcelona are still eyeing up a potential move for Mohamed Salah this summer, with a fresh report from Spain describing Liverpool as still a ‘selling club’.

The Lowdown: Salah yet to sign new deal

While the Reds are about to encounter a massive few months on the pitch, Salah’s future continues to be a major talking point off it.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a move to Barca in recent weeks, with a new Liverpool deal yet to be signed amid issues surrounding wage demands.

It is a saga that could rumble on as reports have claimed the winger wants as much as £500,00 per-week, and a new update has now emerged.

The Latest: New Barca claim emerges

According to AS [via Sport Witness], Barca will go ‘all in’ to sign Salah if they are unable to entice Borussia Dortmund superstar Erling Haaland to the club.

Liverpool are dismissively called a ‘selling club’ by the Spanish press (Sport via SW), with the sale of Philippe Coutinho cited as an example.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-transfer-news-26/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Tough to predict

Frankly, it is impossible to predict what Salah’s decision will be, with a new Reds contract more than possible but perhaps only if he and agent Ramy Abbas Issa agree to reduce their demands.

It’s reportedly likely that the Egyptian will eventually accept less money, but if not it doesn’t look as though he will be treated as a special case, in terms of paying him over the club’s usual limits.

It would be a devastating blow to lose arguably the world’s best player, but similarly, life would go on without him and enormous funds would be received if cashing in this summer, which could go towards new signings, as was the case with Coutinho.
