The in-form Josh Inglis steadied Western Australia alongside Cooper Connolly

Opener Cameron Bancroft’s bid for a Test recall took a hit after a third consecutive failure to start the Sheffield Shield season. But in-form Josh Inglis and Cooper Connolly rescued Western Australia out of trouble against Tasmania late on day two at the WACA.Replying to Tasmania’s first innings of 277, Bancroft made just 8 before nicking off to seamer Kieran Elliott in the sixth over. WA slumped further when captain Sam Whiteman and Mitchell Marsh fell cheaply.Related

An aggressive Hilton Cartwright raced to a half-century by tea, but he didn’t re-emerge after the interval as he dashed to be at the birth of his second child. He could still bat on day three, but is believed to require approval from the match umpire and Tasmania to continue his innings.Allrounder Aaron Hardie fell on the first over after tea as Tasmania edged ahead before Inglis turned the match on its head much like he did with a century in the season opener against Queensland.Inglis made it look easy under the shadows as he raced to a half-century off 57 balls. He found good support from Connolly as they combined for an unbroken 119-run partnership to turn the tide as WA set their sights on a handy first innings lead.After Tasmania were bowled out at the stroke of lunch, the spotlight firmly shone on Bancroft at the resumption. With the surface appearing to be flattening and as Perth’s famous sunshine emerged after a rain-interrupted first day, Bancroft eyed a big score to ignite his Test candidacy after making a pair against Queensland.Bancroft was tested immediately by quick Riley Meredith and unable to get off the mark from his first nine deliveries. The pressure was building before he scored his first runs of the Shield season in streaky fashion when he slashed Meredith past third slip.He hit a more controlled boundary through point on the next delivery, but could not kick on after shuffling across his stumps to edge a back of a length delivery from Elliott, who soon had Whiteman caught behind for 13.Marsh entered in strong form after a powerful 94 in the second innings against Queensland. For the second straight match he is playing as a specialist batter at No. 4. Marsh had publicly stated that he would build his loads in this match ahead of next month’s first Test, but his bowling return is being put on hold for now.Marsh started watchfully before hitting a gorgeous straight drive to the boundary off seamer Mitch Owen. But Marsh had a rush of blood on the next delivery as he mistimed a short delivery straight to deep square leg. He immediately started walking off after realising he had thrown away his wicket.Owen had earlier led a recovery for Tasmania after blasting 69 from 60 balls at No. 8. Tasmania were in major trouble at 190 for 8 before Owen combined with Matt Kuhnemann for a ninth wicket partnership of 87.Offspinner Corey Rocchiccioli, fresh off being selected for Australia A, finally ended Owen’s entertaining knock before dismissing Meredith on the next delivery to finish with 4 for 70 from 24.3 overs.Recruit Brody Couch was the pick of the quicks with 3 for 33 off 17 overs in a lively performance where he reached speeds of 143kph.Hardie did not enter the attack in the morning session having bowled six overs on the opening day as he works his way back from a quad injury that ruled him out of the match against Queensland.
Arsenal signed Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon for a £63.5m total fee at the weekend. Not a bad price, all things considered.
He’s one of the most prolific centre-forwards across Europe, after all.
Gyokeres, 27, is the positional solution to Mikel Arteta’s most pressing positional problem. Several windows have come and gone without the Gunners signing a centre-forward that they all saw they needed.
The Sweden star scored 97 goals across two seasons for Sporting, winning the Liga Portugal both years.
However, Arsenal may yet need another signing to complete their frontline. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City have all made improvements this summer, and Arteta has hit sights set on lifting the Premier League title next May.
Could that man be Real Madrid’s Rodrygo?
Arsenal's interest in Rodrygo
There’s no question Rodrygo is a terrific footballer, hailed by his former teammate Luka Modric for his “world-class” quality on the ball.
The 24-year-old’s desire to feature more regularly on the left wing aligns with Arteta’s Arsenal vision for the remainder of the transfer window.
As a senior professional, Real Madrid is all that he has known, having joined the Spanish giants from Santos in his homeland when he turned 18.
The Londoners have been keeping checks on the Brazilian this summer, with reports from earlier in July even claiming that Arsenal lead the race.
The problem, naturally, is that other suitors are lining up for the Brazilian forward, who Real Madrid would only consider selling for a fixed €90m (£78m) fee.
That’s an awful lot of money, and technical director Andrea Berta might be inclined to direct his club’s transfer cannon in a different direction.
Arsenal could sign Rodrygo alternative
Given that Rodrygo went 17 matches without a goal or an assist across the second half of last year’s La Liga campaign, Arsenal might be wary about forking out such a heavy sum to bring him over.
Rodrygo stats
Instead, technical director Andrea Berta might be inclined to act on Arsenal’s interest in AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, who has been linked with a move to the Emirates this summer. In May, it was revealed that the club were engaged in talks with the Serie A giants for their Portuguese winger.
As with Rodrygo, Leao would cost a pretty penny, though perhaps he’d be the cheaper man, with Manchester United previously pushing to seal a £60m package this summer.
Regardless, there’s an elite player in there. Analyst Ben Mattinson has even gone as far as to say that he’s “one of the best left wingers in the world” while Milan coach Stefano Pioli once said that “Leao reminds me a lot of the early Thierry Henry.”
Over the past two terms, the 26-year-old Leao has scored 27 goals and has supplied 27 assists across all competitions for Milan, making an interesting comment on his prolific capacity.
Just imagine how high he could reach in Arteta’s Arsenal team, playing alongside a higher calibre of goalscoring teammate in Gyokeres, and with Bukayo Saka matching him out on the right too. Writer Theo Mwangi has actually claimed that the high-speed winger is a “superstar”.
Rodrygo might have been earmarked as an exciting option to complete the set, but there’s little question that Leao is on a similar level, and given that he would arrive for a cheaper fee, it feels right that Arsenal should push for the latter man.

They match up rather well. The Milan winger might not be the most prolific on the block, but he’s in the same ballpark as Rodrygo – and that’s hardly an indicator of poor form.
Leao is actually a bit more of an effective dribbler, successfully taking on more opponents per 90 than the Los Blancos star. He also ranks among the top 19% of attacking midfielders and wingers across Europe’s top five leagues for his success rate (49%) in such duels.
Such a balanced and well-rounded physical force, Leao could be the missing piece in an Arsenal puzzle which just needs that extra injection of quality to cross the boundary that has lingered between them and glory over the past three campaigns.
Real Madrid's Rodrygo
Moreover, Leao has come off the back of a difficult campaign, with AC Milan struggling for form and finishing eighth. Even so, he held his own, notching eight goals and eight assists apiece in the league and averaging 4.5 successful duels per game, as per Sofascore.
Leao has also been regarded by Napoli sensation Scott McTominay to have been the most impressive opponent he has faced since swapping Old Trafford for Naples.
Capable of outrageous tricks, flicks and moments in key areas, Leao would both raise the fun factor at the Emirates next season while improving Arteta’s squad’s output concurrently.
With both Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard mooted for an exit from north London this summer, this may well be a signing that becomes a necessity for the Gunners, especially if a move for Rodrygo comes to nothing, and he signs for a rival or indeed stays put in Madrid.
Arsenal have some tough choices to make over the coming weeks, but having enjoyed such an impressive transfer window so far, it would hardly be a bad thing to forge ahead and make a play for Leao.

The franchise is almost certainly set to retain Dhoni, who could qualify as an uncapped player for IPL 2025

Moody: ‘The longer iconic players like Dhoni can play, it’s good for the IPL’
MS Dhoni has not yet confirmed his availability for IPL 2025, according to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) CEO Kasi Viswanathan, who is hopeful that Dhoni will be part of the upcoming season.”We have still no confirmation from him, though we will like him to continue playing for us,” Viswanathan told ESPNcricinfo. “Hope he will confirm before 31st [October].”October 31 is the deadline by which the ten franchises have to submit their list of retained players to the IPL ahead of the mega auction, and this year Dhoni is eligible to be retained by CSK as an uncapped player. That was made possible after the IPL brought back a rule that had been scrapped in 2021, according to which a player can be considered as uncapped if they have been retired from international cricket for five years.Related

Dhoni last played for India at the 2019 ODI World Cup, and announced his retirement in August 2020; he does not play any cricket apart from the IPL, and scored 161 runs at a strike rate of 220 as a finisher in the 2024 season after handing over the CSK captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad.While it is extremely likely that Dhoni will be retained by CSK, if they retain him as an uncapped player, they will lose only INR 4 crore from their auction purse of INR 120 crore.The IPL franchises have been allowed to retain up to six players ahead of the mega auction before the 2025 season, of which a maximum of five can be capped internationals. While the IPL has set minimum deductions from the auction purse for each player retained – INR 18 crore for the first player, INR 14 crore for the second, INR 11 crore for the third, INR 18 crore for the fourth, and INR 14 crore for the fifth – the franchises are free to pay more than those amounts to their retained players. For example, Sunrisers Hyderabad are set to retain Heinrich Klaasen for INR 23 crore, Pat Cummins for INR 18 crore, and Abhishek Sharma for INR 14 crore.
O Palmeiras vive uma maratona de jogos por competições diferentes. Depois de estrear com vitória no Brasileirão, chegou a hora de voltar as atenções novamente para a Libertadores. E quem é um especialista nessa competição é o zagueiro Luan, que disputou sete edições pelo clube, um recorde na história palmeirense. Com essa experiência, ele analisou o início de ano da equipe até aqui.

Atleta do Verdão com mais edições de Libertadores disputadas na história (sete, ao lado de Dudu, que chegará a oito ao estrear na atual edição), Luan sobre a expectativa para enfrentar o Cerro Porteño, na próxima quinta-feira, no Morumbi. Ele deve ser titular, porque Murilo está suspenso.

-O Cerro é um bom time, fizeram o resultado em casa no primeiro jogo. Vamos começar a estudá-los a partir de hoje, até porque tivemos um jogo muito difícil no sábado pelo Brasileiro. Acredito que será uma partida bem difícil. Em se tratando de Libertadores, não existe jogo fácil, mas seremos os mandantes e esperamos o apoio da nossa torcida para que a gente possa fazer um grande jogo.
O camisa 13 também falou sobre a qualidade do elenco alviverde e a disputa sadia por posição. Vale lembrar que Luan formou a dupla de zaga titular com Gustavo Gómez antes de Murilo chegar.
-A maneira que a gente se prepara nos credencia a isso, a ter uma vaga no time para o professor às vezes rodar ou por causa de suspensão. É cada um buscando a sua vaga, aqui não existem 11 titulares, e todos nós estamos sempre buscando as nossas oportunidades. Fico feliz por ter as minhas e quero aproveitar da melhor maneira possível porque a gente trabalha muito para isso.
Com todo esse currículo pelo clube, Luan acumula feitos históricos e é um dos 21 jogadores da história do Palmeiras que conseguiram conquistar o Paulista, o Brasileiro, a Copa do Brasil e a Libertadores pelo clube (atuando em ao menos um jogo em cada competição).
-Fico feliz como um todo. Esse escudo nos exige muito, que são os títulos. A partir do momento em que você pertence a esse clube, você tem que cada vez mais dar o seu melhor para conquistar títulos e engrandecê-lo. Começamos o ano com o pé direito, com dois títulos, e espero que a gente siga assim. Vamos trabalhar muito para que a gente possa conquistar mais coisas durante o ano.
>Palmeiras atualiza situação de machucados e se prepara para a Libertadores
Um dos atletas mais longevo do elenco atual, Luan costuma ser aquele que mais se aproxima dos jovens jogadores que são promovidos ao profissional.Ele também falou da função de “mentor” para os diversos jovens da base que estão recebendo oportunidades neste ano.
-Eu apenas sou eu no dia a dia, com o meu jeito de ser. Sou um cara simples, amigo de todos, e espero poder ajudar os mais jovens. São grandes meninos, com grande potencial, e estão aqui para crescer e se desenvolver. A gente sabe como é o mundo do futebol, às vezes as coisas acontecem muito rápido para alguns, então estamos aqui para ajudar, dar suporte e fico feliz demais por vê-los crescer. Ter cada vez mais garotos da base aqui conosco é muito bom e isso valoriza muito o trabalho e o projeto do clube – concluiu o defensor.
O Palmeiras volta a campo nesta quinta-feira, às 21h (de Brasília), para enfrentar o Cerro Porteño-PAR, pela Libertadores, no Morumbi. No primeiro jogo da fase de grupos, o Verdão acabou derrotado pelo Bolívar-BOL, por 3 a 1, na altitude de La Paz. Abel Ferreira utilizou o time reserva.

Ben Sawyer will have a second two-year term with New Zealand•Getty Images
Ben Sawyer has been reappointed head coach of the New Zealand women’s team for two years.Sawyer, who oversaw New Zealand’s first-ever T20 World Cup win earlier this year – they beat South Africa in the final – will remain at the helm until December 2026. This period includes the women’s ODI World Cup in India in late 2025 and the women’s T20 World Cup in England in mid 2026.”I’m stoked Ben’s re-signed with us,” white-ball captain Sophie Devine said. “The work he’s done with the White Ferns group and for women’s cricket in New Zealand has been huge.Related

“The team is in a great spot right now, so I think locking him in for another two years and having that consistency will be big for us.”Sawyer, who has worked as an assistant coach with the Australia women’s team in the past, was first appointed New Zealand head coach on a two-year contract in June 2022, which ran through till the end of the India tour in October 2024. His reappointment follows an extensive review process, according to a NZC press release.New Zealand did not start their year well, winning just one in 13 T20Is heading into the T20 World Cup, but they turned things around in the UAE.”We’re so pleased to have Ben sign on for another two years,” Liz Green, NZC head of women’s high performance, said. “He’s unlocked a lot of belief and trust in this group and to have him stay now is massive, both for the current squad, and the long-term planning for the White Ferns. The consistency and stability is important.”Ben’s played a big part in progressing the White Ferns and helping build the women’s pathway. There was a huge amount of growth during that tournament, a result of what Ben and the coaches have been building over the last two years.”New Zealand will next take on Australia in a three-match ODI series that gets underway on December 19 in Wellington. The squad for the series will be announced later this week.NZC also said that the T20 World Cup trophy will be on display at the upcoming matches, “giving fans the chance to see it up close and capture photos”.
Newcastle United frustratingly drew blanks across the entire 90 minutes away at Aston Villa on the Premier League’s opening day.
The obvious question on everyone’s minds post-match was whether the Magpies would have been so wasteful if Alexander Isak were leading the line, but the superstar Swede was notably absent, as he remains insistent on a summer switch away from St James’ Park.
With the ex-Real Sociedad striker seemingly set on leaving, Eddie Howe and Co. will be desperate to land a striker in a similar vein to their potent number 14 before the transfer window slams shut, with plenty of targets popping on the Toon shortlist.
Newcastle given encouragement over striker deal
It’s not exactly been a closely guarded secret this summer that the Magpies are in the market for an explosive, new centre-forward.
They could finally be about to land long-term target Yoane Wissa, with the Daily Mail’s Craig Hope recently revealing that a deal could be wrapped up by next week for the 28-year-old to leave Brentford behind for pastures new on Tyneside.
Isak vs Wissa 2024-25 stats (timeless)
While his 19 goals last season would make him a suitable Isak replacement, he isn’t the only clinical attacker on Newcastle’s shopping list.
Indeed, Hope has also revealed that the Isak-less Toon have been handed some “encouragement” over securing the services of Paris St. Germain hotshot Goncalo Ramos, who has also been reportedly looked at by the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa this window.
Transfer Focus
Mega money deals, controversial moves and big-name flops. This is the home of transfer news and opinion across Football FanCast.
Hope said: “Goncalo Ramos, the PSG striker, is back on the agenda. He was and then he wasn’t, I was told last week that it’s not happening. Then I was told yesterday [Friday] that actually there’s a chance it might, Newcastle have been given some encouragement there.
“But again, I think that would be a really hard one to do. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one for want of a better phrase. But they are looking, he is an option absolutely. I’ve had that confirmed, that’s why I put the story out there last night.”
PSG forward Goncalo Ramos
How Ramos possesses shades of Ekitike
It’s still some way off from being near completion, but landing the Portuguese attacker could see the Magpies win a striker who possesses shades of Hugo Ekitike’s clinical game.
Amazingly, Ekitike was yet another striker Howe and Co. missed out on this summer, as Arne Slot’s Reds ultimately won his signature over picking up Ramos.
The Magpies must be forlorn that the former Eintracht Frankfurt striker decided to uproot to Anfield over St James’ Park, considering he already has two goals next to his name for the reigning top-flight champions, which included a fierce strike getting Liverpool up and running on the entertaining opening night of the campaign.
Any lingering disappointment surrounding the Frenchman choosing the luxuries of Liverpool over Newcastle would soon be forgotten about, however, if Ramos were to make the switch to Howe’s men, with the 24-year-old a recognised goalscoring menace in Europe, much like Ekitike was before Merseyside came calling.
Already, Tottenham Hotspur are aware of his red-hot instincts in front of goal, with Ramos only needing 14 minutes of action against Thomas Frank’s Spurs in the Super Cup final before delivering this sucker punch of a header to level proceedings at 2-2.
This has been a tale of his entire stay in Paris to date, with only 28 Ligue 1 starts coming his way across his last two seasons in the French capital.
However, that hasn’t stopped him from going on to bag a mightily impressive 21 league goals across those limited opportunities.
Coincidentally, Ekitike also struggled for gametime during his own up-and-down stay at the Parc Des Princes, but slipped up in the goalscoring department with only four strikes registered.

The brand new £79m Reds signing, of course, fought back from this underwhelming stint in Paris, with a promising return of 26 goals from 64 games for Frankfurt winning him the lavish move.
However, when assessing the table above, the “outrageous” 24-year-old – as he’s been lauded previously by scout Jacek Kulig for his unerring accuracy in front of goal – has actually had a far more glittering career path than his Anfield counterpart, with 50 more career strikes next to his name.
Goncalo Ramos at Benfica
Therefore, the former Benfica marksman will be loving the prospect of having his own moment in the Premier League spotlight with Newcastle, as he potentially goes head-to-head with Ekitike in the demanding division.
Once hailed by Bruno Fernandes as having “all the qualities to play in the Premier League”, the proof will soon be in the pudding if Ramos does make the move, as Newcastle’s hunt for a fresh striker looks to go the distance.

O Palmeiras, “time da virada”, não funcionou dessa vez. O empate em 2 a 2, mesmo assim, acabou sendo excelente para o que se desenhava o duelo com o Vasco, no Maracanã. Nada, porém, que seja surpreendente, pois quem tem acompanhado a equipe de forma mais constante, sabe que, com o que tem sido apresentado, a qualquer momento a derrota será inevitável, como foi contra o Água Santa e o Bolívar. Assim, o Verdão corre o risco de gastar tudo agora e não ter lá na frente.
> Veja tabela e classificação do Brasileirão-2023 clicando aqui
Nos últimos sete jogos do Palmeiras, todos aqueles depois da Data Fifa, o time precisou colocar em campo um esforço acima do esperado. Foram partidas que acabaram saindo do controle do Alviverde, algo que é essencial no trabalho de Abel Ferreira e de sua comissão técnica. Em meio a uma maratona insana de duelos e competições, isso é um cenário terrível no aspecto físico.

Contra o Água Santa, na ida da final estadual, saiu atrás, buscou o empate, não sustentou o momento e sofreu a derrota. Dias depois, foi até a altitude de La Paz, saiu na frente, teve chances de matar o jogo, mas perdeu o controle, teve um jogador expulso e foi derrotado por 3 a 1. Na volta da final, precisando vencer por dois gols de diferença para ser campeão, precisou imprimir um ritmo acima do normal para atropelar o Água Santa e sair de campo com a taça e 4 a 0 no placar.
Depois foi a vez de pegar o Tombense pela Copa do Brasil, novamente sair atrás no placar e ter de buscar o resultado. Conseguiu um placar de 4 a 2, mas novamente exigindo do físico após uma final de campeonato. Contra o Cuiabá, saiu na frente, poderia ter ampliado, não matou o jogo, perdeu o controle de novo, sofreu o empate e precisou correr para marcar o segundo e garantir a vitória em casa. Diante do Cerro Porteño, pela Libertadores, novamente saiu atrás e buscou o 2 a 1.
>VÍDEO: veja os melhores lances do empate entre Vasco e Palmeiras
Por fim, o duelo com o Vasco. Com problemas recorrentes, como um lado direito bastante bagunçado, a ausência de um “5” no meio-campo (apesar dos bons serviços entregues por Zé Rafael), a falta de capricho e a desconcentração, o Verdão viu o adversário abrir 2 a 0 em lances inaceitáveis nas disputas de alto nível. Situações muito parecidas com os últimos jogos. O que o time precisou fazer? Correr atrás de novo, ou seja, exigir novamente da parte física nessa maratona.
O próprio João Martins, auxiliar de Abel Ferreira, chamou a atenção para esse desgaste extra do Palmeiras. Para ele, essa sequência de jogos que necessitam buscar o resultado, acabam tirando a possibilidade de controlar o ritmo e se poupar para os próximos compromissos. Em outras palavras, o cansaço contra o Cuiabá foi levado para o duelo com o Cerro, cujo cansaço foi levado para o duelo com o Vasco, cujo cansaço será levado para o duelo desta quarta-feira contra o Tombense.
A capacidade desse time para reverter situações problemáticas e a resiliência que esse elenco tem demonstrado nesses anos são admiráveis e mais do que provadas. Acontece que não se pode “brincar” com isso. Não que os jogadores/comissão técnica façam de propósito ou não levem a sério, mas talvez falte alguns ajustes e exista um excesso de confiança na mística do “time da virada”. Se for isso, é preciso dar um “spoiler” sobre o futuro: não vai virar ou empatar sempre.
>ATUAÇÕES: Palmeiras começa mal, mas melhora e busca empate com o Vasco pelo Brasileirão
Ficar correndo atrás com pouco mais de 20 jogos de temporada nas costas é um tremendo risco para quem quer chegar em dezembro tendo brigado para vencer os três títulos em disputa: Brasileirão, Libertadores e Copa do Brasil. Se o elenco, que já é curto, for lidar com essas maratonas (que serão frequentes) dessa forma, sempre no limite, não vai chegar inteiro fisicamente no fim do ano. Isso não é previsão, é certeza, não há quem aguente. É preciso abrir o olho desde já.
