If Sarel Burger’s bowling was the highlight of the first day, his batting shone on the second. Burger was unbeaten on 135 at stumps after taking Namibia past Canada’s 274.At the start of the second day, it took Namibia just 2.5 overs to wrap up Canada’s innings. But when they came in to bat, they were forced into damage-control mode early as Durand Soraine trapped both openers in front. Another two wickets to Junaid Siddiqui’s legspin pushed Namibia further into trouble at 85 for 4. Burger, however, held on to his end and then found an able ally in Raymond van Schoor, who scored 71, to bring up a 107-run partnership. But it was Burger’s unbeaten partnership with Ian Opperman for the seventh wicket that put Namibia in control. He brought up his second first-class century during the course of this partnership. Namibia ended the day 19 runs ahead of Canada with four wickets in hand.

On another eventful day in Bangalore, which saw fifteen wickets fall, Haryana ended the day with a slight edge after Karnataka lost two quick wickets at the end of the day

On another eventful day in Bangalore, which saw fifteen wickets fall, Karnataka won the first session, then gave away the middle one to Haryana, and just when it seemed like they had bounced back after tea lost their top order, giving the visitors a slight edge at the halfway stage of the quarter-final contest. In response to Karnataka’s 151, Haryana started solidly but lost seven wickets for 36 runs in the second hour of the morning before a stubborn 74-run eighth-wicket partnership between captain Amit Mishra and Mohit Sharma allowed them to take a vital 121-run lead. At stumps, Karnataka had managed to go ahead by one run on the back of an aggressive half-century from Robin Uthappa.Uthappa started the second innings with a powerful square cut against Ashish Hooda that raced past the point boundary. KB Pawan, his opening partner, matched Uthappa with a fluent square-driven four. But in the sixth over, Pawan was defeated by an inswinger from Sachin Rana that hit him in line with middle stump.At the other end Uthappa remained unaffected, playing with confidence and getting his feet near the pitch of the ball. Cuts, punched drives, both off the front and back foot, and straight drives helped Uthappa dominate the bowling. He reached his half-century with a straight six against the medium pace of Mohit Sharma. But on 53, Uthappa, in a moment of complacency, was dismissed in similar fashion to Pawan; Rana trapped him plumb in front with one that nipped in.Then, five overs before stumps, Karnataka suffered another setback when their captain Ganesh Satish ran out out his partner Bharat Chipli. Satish pushed an off break from Mishra to point and started off for a run. Chipli responded positively but, having seen the point fielder charge in on the ball, Satish decided to turn back. Chipli had already come midway down the pitch, and an agile Rahul Dewan, the wicketkeeper, caught the throw in front of the stumps and threw down the wickets at the bowler’s end down to beat Chipli’s retreat.Even though they finished the day on an even keel, it had been a topsy-turvy day for Haryana. Their overnight batsmen Rahul Dewan and Nitin Saini were circumspect for the first 45 minutes. At 152 for no loss, Haryana were in a good position to build a big lead. However, in a lazy moment, Saini attempted a half-hearted pull against Stuart Binny. Uthappa, standing at mid-wicket, took the catch easily.Saini’s dismissal was part of a mini-collapse of four wickets for just twelve runs. Binny, Karanataka’s best bowler in the match, and season, bowled a perfected outswinger that induced a thick outside edge from Haryana’s most-dependable batsman Sunny Singh. The morning was 90 minutes old. Karanataka’s bowlers were getting hungry now. NC Aiyappa bowled aggressive lines and good lengths to induce edges from Prateek Pawar and Sachin Rana off successive deliveries in his first over of the morning. Aiyappa missed his hat-trick and was not the only bowler to miss one on the day.Left-arm spinner KP Appanna, joint-fourth on the wicket-charts in the Elite division this season, got the important wicket of Dewan and then dismissed Jayant Yadav next ball in only his second over of the day. Mohit Sharma negotiated his arm ball, denying him a hat-trick.Till his erroneous decision to attempt a cut off Appanna, Dewan had managed to keep his head despite the flurry of wickets at the other end. He pulled Aiyappa to get to his third century of the season, which took him 192 deliveries and included 13 boundaries. But three balls later, he tried to cut Appanna with the ball far from his body, and got a thick edge that was pouched brilliantly by wicketkeeper CM Gautam, giving him his fifth catch of the innings. The next delivery from Appanna was, not surprisingly, an arm ball that slid in to new batsman Yadav and hit him on the back leg. He was rightly adjudged lbw for a duck. Haryana finished the first session having got 75 runs for seven wickets off 34 overs.The pitch became a bit slower after lunch and the Karnataka bowlers’ lines got shorter, allowing Mishra and Mohit Sharma to settle down. Even the second new ball, taken immediately after 80 overs, did not stop the Haryana pair from scoring easy runs.An hour after lunch, Mishra, on 44, attempted a hook shot against Binny. He could not make clean contact and the top-edge sailed towards deep square leg where an advancing Aiyappa claimed he had taken the catch. Replays, though, clearly showed the ball had slipped through his palms and he had picked it up on the bounce as he fell forward. The square-leg umpire Amiesh Saheba informed Sudhir Asnani that the catch had not been taken, and the Karnataka appeal was quashed instantly. Five runs later Mishra was adjudged leg before by Asnani to a Binny delivery that had deviated into his legs and appeared to be marginally missing leg stump.The match has been full of incident, with the momentum swinging like a pendulum between both sides; the final two days promise more.

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.
