Waugh rates hundred as one of his best

Steve Waugh’s first-ever hundred at Edgbaston was one of the best Test centuries of his career – that’s according to the man himself.Waugh ended the day on 101 not out with Australia standing on 332-4, a lead of 38 runs over England. It was Waugh’s 26th Test hundred and his eighth against England.He had joined his twin Mark at the crease in only the second over of the day after Michael Slater had been bowled by Darren Gough.Such an early dismissal in the day might have concerned some captains but Waugh strode to the crease like a man on a mission and rarely looked in trouble despite the overcast conditions.He said: “The conditions were difficult out there. I thought Englandbowled pretty well, it was a bit up an down.”Technically I thought I played really well, but that’s going to happen onthat type of wicket.”It is definitely one of my better Test hundreds. England had their tails up andexpected to take a couple of early wickets.”I was more pleased with the runs I got in the situation. I’ve felt relaxedat the crease recently and tried to take that attitude into the Test, and enjoythe experience. The first 20 or 30 is as good as I’ve hit it for a long while.”It’s always great playing against England in a Test Match. The wickets overhere certainly suit my style play; you get a little bit more time, I tend toplay off the back foot.”I thought Darren Gough bowled superbly and troubled all the batsmen. Ithought England toiled away pretty well and we had a bit of luck.”It’s still in the balance. We’ve got to get some runs because it’s going tobe hard to bat last on that wicket. If we can get a lead of 150 we will putEngland under real pressure.”The game is still there to be won by both sides. We had a really good daytoday. At this stage we’ve got our noses in front but there is still a fair wayto go.”We are certainly not getting carried away – we’ve been in this position in thelast two Tests we’ve played and it didn’t work out for us, so hopefully we’velearned some lessons from India.”England have shown heart over the first two days and they’ve shown they’vegot some good skill out there.”England coach Duncan Fletcher said: “It was a very good start to get MichaelSlater, it would have been crucial for us to get another wicket, but the twoWaugh brothers batted really well, and Steve showed what a class act he is.”He plays an important role – he averages 50 in Tests, other bowlers havestruggled to get him out as well.”It shows that if you got in there and you’ve got the mental strength you canmake runs.”The bowlers have got to stick to the discipline and stick to the game plan.They bat all the way down, that’s why they are number one in the world,well-balanced, experienced, enthusiastic.”Strange things happen in cricket. We’ve got to make sure we get out there,show a lot of character and put up a good fight and you never know what mighthappen.”Four down and 38 ahead, we’ve got a hard job. You’ve got to take everychance that comes your way against a side like this.”

Tottenham now launch contact to sign £5m-a-year contract rebel ahead of Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur have now launched contact to sign an attacking target ahead of arch-rivals Arsenal, according to reports.

Tottenham launch contact to sign £5m-a-year attacker

The Lilywhites have it all to do in the January transfer window. Thomas Frank is yet to win over the fans, both thanks to results and thanks to his more pragmatic style at times. The transfer window provides the Dane with the perfect opportunity to turn a corner before it’s too late, however.

They need an attacking addition, first and foremost. Although Dominic Solanke is still fighting to make his first appearance under Frank, there’s no guarantee that he will be the one to solve Spurs’ problems.

The same can be said about Richarlison and Randal Kolo Muani, who have scored two goals and eight goals respectively so far this season.

So, the solution could lie in the transfer market and potentially in Germany following recent reports that they’re chasing Yan Diomande. The young winger has enjoyed an excellent campaign so far, breaking out and becoming a key target for several sides.

If Spurs are to finally replace Heung-min Son’s impact, then signing a winger who’s scored seven goals and created another four in all competitions would certainly go a long way.

Add Kenan Yildiz onto that and Frank’s attack suddenly looks far more promising. According to TuttoJuve, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham have now made contact to sign Yildiz ahead of Arsenal in 2026.

The North London rivals are reportedly in a tug-of-war to sign the Juventus star, but Tottenham will be hoping that their contact puts them ahead of Arsenal.

Yildiz would ignite Tottenham's frontline

The 20-year-old is reportedly causing Juventus quite the dilemma with his wage demands of over £5m a season. Arsenal and Tottenham, however, would reportedly have no issue paying the versatile winger that asking price.

Given his ability to play as both a winger and a No.10, the 20-year-old could be the player to finally spark Spurs’ attack into life, especially next to summer signing Xavi Simons. The Dutchman is beginning to show signs of his best, but his red card against Liverpool was undoubtedly a setback.

The numbers do the talking for Yildiz. Even as Juventus have struggled to rediscover their best form from years of old, he has been an impressive standout.

With nine goal involvements to his name in Serie A this season, the Turkish attacker is more than ready to make his mark elsewhere and has certainly justified a wage rise.

Whether Spurs can fend off interest from Arsenal is the big question. The last thing they need is to watch a key target join their rivals yet again.

Stanford wants to bankroll EPL

Allen Stanford, the Texan billionaire who has proposed a US$20 million winner-takes-all contest between England and a West Indies XI, could be prepared to bankroll an English version of the Indian Premier League, but only if the England & Wales Cricket Board can guarantee him a return on his investment.Stanford has been in talks with the ECB all week, because he believes that, if done properly, a proposed English Premier League offers the only realistic rival to India’s riches. He told The Times on Wednesday that he already had a group of investors lined up to get involved if the notion can get off the ground.There are plenty of hurdles to overcome before Stanford’s wishes can be granted, however, not least the likely opposition from the first-class counties who might fear being marginalised in such a deal. “The ECB are conservative,” Stanford told The Times. “”They realise they’re at a crossroads. They either let the Indians do it or they step up and get a game plan.”The ECB, for my estimation, need to be the driver,” said Stanford. “The organisation here is better, the management is better, the structure is better. It’s inevitable that the ECB will create a Twenty20 league, it’s inevitable that it will involve the private sector and it’s inevitable that the game will evolve.”Stanford said that he was willing to be a “big supporter” of English cricket, but warned that the players, fans and administrators shouldn’t just look at him as a benevolent uncle of the game. “There’s two types of investor,” he said. “There’s the philanthropists, who don’t exist. The others look at the return. If I do anything outside the West Indies, I want to see what kind of return I get.”Julian Hunte and Donald Peters, the president and chief executive of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), have also been in London for discussions that have been described by all parties as “very productive”, although the ECB have not commented on the possibility of creating the EPL.

Primed South Africa can't take the Irish lightly

South Africa take the field for the first time since their World Cupsemi-final drubbing, at the hands of Australia, in the laid-backsurroundings of Stormont on Sunday. On paper the match against adepleted Ireland side is the ideal way to ease into their shortone-day tour of the Emerald Isle, but they would be well advised nottake anything for granted.The two sides met twice in the Caribbean. The game that mattered – inthe Super Eights – comfortably went South Africa’s way with aseven-wicket victory but, a few weeks earlier, they’d been jolted intolife during their opening warm-up match in Trinidad as Ireland reducedthem to 91 for 8.South Africa recovered to win that match but for their first outing inmore than two months, with cool, overcast conditions, in unfamiliarsurroundings, they will have to be on their guard. One advantage forthem is that key players have tasted recent action. Andrew Hall, CharlLangeveldt and Andre Nel have been playing county cricket while MarkBoucher, AB de Villiers and Justin Kemp were involved in the Afro-AsiaCup.However, there is a potential problem on the horizon with Boucher andNel both suffering flu-like symptoms. They are on medication and aCricket South Africa spokesman said they were hopeful of playing, butit may lead Mickey Arthur into having to try a few of the five new (orrecalled) faces in the squad.If Boucher doesn’t recover Morne van Wyk would take the wicketkeepinggloves. His only previous one-day international was in the 2003Natwest Series final against England, at Lord’s, when South Africawere thrashed by seven wickets. The absence of Nel wouldn’t be felttoo strongly, as the squad is packed with seam options, and a possibledebut is on the cards for allrounder Vernon Philander along with aone-day return for Dale Steyn following his outstanding form forWarwickshire.The other interesting bowling option for the South Africans toconsider is the offspin of Thandi Tshabalala. Although conditions atStormont wouldn’t initially cry out in favour of the spinners, PiyushChawla was very effective against Ireland. For teams brought up on adiet of medium pace seam and swing having a slow-bowling optionprovides a different test.Ireland will want to put in an improved display after their nine-wicket defeat against India. Trent Johnston thought his side had put a decent total on the board but were let down by some loose bowling. The South African batting order is going to be another stiff challenge for his young attack.After their final training session the South Africans opted not tocome down to the Civil Service Ground and give their opponents theonce over. Instead, they headed off to watch the Springboks take onthe All Blacks in the Tri-Nations rugby. The cricket team’s task onSunday should be much easier.South Africa (from) Jacques Kallis (capt), Mark Boucher, AB deVilliers, JP Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Andrew Hall, Justin Kemp, CharlLangeveldt, Andre Nel, Makhaya Ntini, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn,Thandi Tshabalala, Morne van WykIreland (from) Trent Johnston (capt), Kenny Carroll, Alex Cusack, Thinus Fourie, Dominick Joyce, Gary Kidd, Kyle McCallan, Kevin O’ Brien, Niall O’ Brien, William Porterfield, Roger Whelan, Andrew White,Gary Wilson

The Webster effect

Irfan Pathan, listless at the moment, needs to find his groove again © AFP

Of the many factors that went into making the all-conquering West Indies team of the ’70s and ’80s, the contribution made by the support staff is often a mere footnote. Yet, speak to the players of that era and they will invariably mention the effect that Dennis Waight, the physical trainer, and Dr Rudi Webster, the sports psychologist, had on them. Waight played a part in ensuring that the side was supremely fit; Webster helped them win the mental battles, making them the ruthless force that they eventually became.Viv Richards confirms the same in his autobiography, adding bits about how beneficial Webster was to his improvement. Richards speaks about his second international tour, one that was a hard initiation in the battlefields of Australia. “I had problems early on and scored 0, 12 and 12 in my first three innings,” Richards wrote. “It created some doubts in my own mind as to my own abilities at this rarefied level; in fact, it was panic stations.”That’s when the Webster effect came into play. “We [Webster and Richards] discovered through discussions that I wasn’t concentrating the way I should have been when I reached a certain stage of my innings. Then it was a question of discussing how I could do so and taking it on to another level, going forward step by step.” Richards did take it to the next level – getting 30, 101, 50 and 98 in his next four knocks – and it was particularly satisfying because it was made against the fearsome duo of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson.Two weeks may be a short time but the Indians will be hoping to gain as much as they can. They’ve had a chance to interact with Webster since May 25th and Greg Chappell briefly outlined the reasons for roping him in. “Dr. Webster is someone I’ve known for a long time,” he said after the first day of the warm-up game. “In my opinion, he’s one of the two best sports psychologists that I’ve experienced in all my years of playing [the other being Brisbane-based Phil Jouncey, who helps the Australian side once in a while].”He lives in Grenada, which is close by, and I thought it was a great chance to expose the players to him,” Chappell continued. “He’s been working one-on-one with the players and will continue to do so till Friday. He’s had a couple of sessions with the group. He’s very knowledgeable on West Indian cricket and on the conditions in the region. He’s too good a resource to let pass by and we approached the BCCI a few months back about using his services when we were here.”But have the results been forthcoming? “I think it is very beneficial,” Chappell added, “a number of the players have commented that they’ve found it helpful. The players are hearing the coach and the coaching staff all the time and we may or may not be saying what Dr. Webster is saying but coming from a different perspective, different voice would help the players. Sehwag spoke to Dr. Webster before the second game at Trinidad and I thought there were distinct signs that it was beneficial.”Chappell and the rest of the side will be hoping that Webster, or for that matter, anyone, can help Irfan Pathan rediscover his groove. “Pathan is struggling for confidence at the moment,” Chappell said after the Antigua batsmen had taken serious toll on Pathan. “He’s probably been trying a bit too hard, maybe he’s looking for pace. These are things you do when things are not going well. It’s important that he does the things that worked for him. On these wickets, you really don’t have any margin for error, you can’t afford to be too full or too short. You need to hit the right areas.”

Symonds ton takes Lancashire home

Scorecard

Andrew Symonds made a century on his debut for Lancashire © Getty Images

The sight of Andrew Flintoff giving Andrew Symonds a huge bear hug andhigh-fiveing him as a batsman walks back to the pavilion is not somethingyou would have expected in this Ashes summer. For the past month they havebeen fiercely trying to outdo each other on the field. Today they wereteam-mates as Symonds made his Lancashire debut and turned in a matchwinning performance to send his new team into the semi-finals of the C&GTrophy with a 35-run win against Sussex.A century, two wickets, four catches and a run-out is not a bad way tomark your first game and, for the 6000-strong crowd at Old Trafford,Symonds was immediately a Lancastrian. His hundred guided Lancashire to adefendable 249 for 8 – although they should have got more – before his twowickets removed Chris Adams and Murray Goodwin, Sussex’s two key batsmen,and the three catches, all off Flintoff, sealed the match.”It was pretty much the perfect day,” said Symonds. “The pitch was thesort of surface where we said we just had to hang in there and try and geta wicket and it would be very hard for the new player coming in. We bowledsome really tight overs through the middle and created pressure.”Although the final victory margin has a comfortable feel to it, as ChrisAdams and Matt Prior were adding 95 for Sussex’s second wicket anotherquarter-final defeat – following last season’s loss to Yorkshire – waslooming on the horizon. But Symonds was looming larger.Mark Chilton, the Lancashire captain, had held his spinners back but theyhad an immediate effect when he tossed them the ball. Gary Keedy had Priorcaught at deep midwicket (112 for 2) for a 58-ball 59 before Symondsshowed that he was not content with only a century on his debut.Adams was comprehensively bowled playing back (120 for 3) and each wicketpushed the asking rate higher. Murray Goodwin managed one towering six offSymonds but perished to a stunning return catch – similar to the one hetook off Mohammed Ashraful in the one-day international at Old Trafford(160 for 4). As the pressure increased Flintoff helped himself – thanksto Symonds’s safe hands – to three wickets as Sussex swung helplessly.There was nothing Symonds couldn’t do. When he came to the creaseLancashire’s innings was in need of some stabilising following the loss ofStuart Law and Mal Loye. After Symonds and Marcus North (also making hisLancashire debut) had had a quick chat in the middle – as much tointroduce themselves as to discuss any tactics – they employed theircontrasting styles to build the significant stand of the innings.North worked the gaps in the field, in a manner not dissimilar to the way his Western Australian team-mate Mike Hussey in the recent ODIs. He scampered between the wickets, while Symonds bludgeoned typically fierce boundaries. Their partnership of 118 in 22overs steered Lancashire to 152 for 2 in the 31st over and, with Flintoffstill to come, 280 was on the cards.However Mushtaq Ahmed and Michael Yardy bowled 20 consecutive overs ofspin and slowly they began to strangle the middle-order, especially whenNorth swung across the line and was bowled by Mushtaq (152 for 3).During the recent one-day internationals all the talk was of theFlintoff-Kevin Pietersen pairing firing together, but it never happened. When Flintoff joined Symonds the expectation was the same – but, alas, so was the outcome. when Flintoff was drawn down the pitch by Mushtaq during a superb spell of legspin (165 for 4).Mushtaq also removed Mark Chilton (179 for 5), but Symonds was still incontrol and reached his century from 116 balls, diving full-length intothe crease to make his ground.While Prior and Adams were reproducing a Symonds-North style partnership,Sussex were working themselves into a position of dominance but, not forthe first time this season, Symonds produced for his team when they needit most. Needless to say, the Man of the Match award was an easy decision.* * * * * *In Birmingham, Nick Knight led the charge with an unbeaten century as Warwickshire romped into the C & G semi-finals after crushing Kent by five wickets. Knight’s unbeaten 112 allowed the home side to coast to their target of 260 with 23 balls to spare. Justin Kemp knocked over the top order with three wickets, but Knight held firm and was joined in his travails by Trevor Penney, who hit 50 not out. An opening stand of 120 between Rob Key and Andrew Hall gave Kent a strong platform, and Matthew Walker added 51 but their total of 259 wasn’t enough on a decent Edgbaston wicket.The fourth semi-final takes place on Saturday, with Yorkshire taking on Northamptonshire at Headingley.

Manchester United keep the pressure on

Manchester United made sure not to hand the Premier League title over to rivals Manchester City and take the battle down to the last day with a 2-0 win over Swansea on Sunday.

With the Red Devils level on points but behind on goal difference with their cross-town rivals the emphasis was on an emphatic victory, with Paul Scholes and Ashley Young scoring in the first half.

However, the champions could not add to their tally in the second 45, and are now dependent on QPR getting something from their game against City at the Etihad Stadium on the last day.

Despite being underdogs to lift the crown, Sir Alex Ferguson is refusing to give up hope.

“We have to go there with the right spirit to win the match. You never know,” he told Sky Sports.

“Our responsibility next week is to win the game.

“We’ve got next week. QPR need a point, so you never know. I just wish Sparky (QPR boss Mark Hughes) was playing,” he stated.

In regards to the victory over Swansea, the Scottish trainer felt his team played well and were good value for their win.

“We did what had to do. We won the match. We had a lot of chances. I thought we played very, very well.

Copa America wrap: Uruguay falter, Chile win

Chile have picked up just a second win of the Copa America tournament, while Uruguay became the latest favourite to be held to a draw.In a Group C double-header at Mendoza’s Estadio del Bicentenario, Peru frustrated Uruguay into a 1-1 stalemate – the fourth draw in six completed games at the tournament in Argentina – while Chile’s class helped them overcome Mexico 2-1.

Despite Uruguay’s much-vaunted front three of Napoli’s Edinson Cavani, Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Atletico Madrid’s Diego Forlan, Peru’s well-organised defence enjoyed the better of the early going.

After a lively opening, it was Peru who drew first blood when Paolo Guerrero was picked out by a great ball from Michael Guevara on 25 minutes.

The Hamburg striker coolly rounded Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera before slotting into an empty net.

Uruguay – the third-favourite nation behind Argentina and Brazil – began to wrest control late in the half and could have been back on level terms when Forlan launched a vicious swerving free-kick towards goal five minutes before half-time, but Peru goalkeeper Raul Fernandez performed an acrobatic save.

They did not have to wait long to equalise, however, and Suarez fired home on the stroke of half-time after a neat turn and pass from Ajax midfielder Nicolas Lodeiro.

The second half was a pulsating affair, with both sides having chances to take away three points as things became willing.

Guerrero had a great chance to seal a win for Peru in the 90th minute, but the 27-year-old put his close-range header wide of the mark.

In the later game, Chile showed their quality but needed to come from behind against a stubborn Mexico side.

Just six of the faces that helped their nation lift the Gold Cup on June 25 were included in Mexico’s largely Under-22 squad, with five overage players and only two who boasted more than 10 caps.

It showed as Chile dominated large sections of the game, with Barcelona target Alexis Sanchez busy and Sporting Lisbon midfield Matias Fernandez the hub of his side’s attacking moves.

Fernandez went close from a free kick and then open play, while team-mate Humberto Suazo was only thwarted in his hunt for a goal by some agile goalkeeper from Mexico’s Luis Ernesto Michel on 30 minutes.

The half appeared destined to end scoreless despite Chile’s domination, until 19-year-old defender Nestor Araujo threaded a header beyond Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo after Giovani dos Santos’ ball was flicked on in the area.

The goal failed to shake Chile, however, and they pulled level 22 minutes into the second half when substitute Esteban Paredes prodded home from close range.

They then finally made their domination count when Fernandez’s corner was headed into the net by Arturo Vidal, though Bravo was needed to keep the score at 2-1 when he blocked Edgar Pacheco’s effort shortly before the final whistle.

Sir Alex Ferguson enjoys a ‘good day’ for United

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that his side had enjoyed a 'good day' after they saw off Wigan Athletic 2-0 to draw level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.

United took advantage of their rivals losing 1-0 at Birmingham City, with their win over the Latics at Old Trafford also seeing Wayne Rooney return to action as a substitute.

Ferguson told MUTV:"While it wasn't a great performance, it was competent and if you'd asked me at the start of the day, would I have taken joint top spot at the end of it, I would have said yes.

"It's been a good day for us, no question about that. This league is without doubt a high-quality league now. All the games you play are very difficult.

"You saw that last week when a young Aston Villa team came out and set about us. It was the same again today.

"I think we know ourselves that come the second half of the season we'll definitely get better.

Do the modern-day Twitter obsessed footballers enthrall or enrage?

Every now and again the world of technology coughs up something that will change the lives of millions, altering the way in which we engage as a society. The latest in terms of these innovations is the social media tool of Twitter which, since its launch in 2006, has perforated society, gaining the interest of many.

One of the attractive aspects of Twitter is the ability to follow famous figures, who openly tweet about their lives, building an image beyond that we see in magazines and on the television screen. This medium has been adopted my numerous stars of the footballing world over the past few years, enticing the interest of fans across the globe, keen to ‘get to know’ their idols. Although this appears, on the surface, to be a great idea, certain players to make use of the tool have become figures of annoyance, rather than respect.

Achieving a ‘retweet’ or reply from a performer whom you frequently watch can be an exciting and almost surreal experience, bridging the gap between normality and the parallel world of professional football. But, this novelty soon wears off, with their ramblings eventually becoming irritating or a little mundane. Players such as Joey Barton and Jack Wilshere have become what’s known as ‘serial tweeters’ offering their vast followings a looking glass into their lives, whether that be related to the game or not. Barton in particular has become a figure of ridicule for his use of the site, with vast arrays of literary references and controversial statements being made on an almost daily basis. It can be amusing to see various players arguing with others, particularly public figures, but the whole trend of Twitter among footballers is actually having a negative impact on the game.

Mobile phone ‘apps’ have made the act of tweeting an effortless task, with the ability to have your say on the move. So long as your smartphone has the required level of signal, a tweet can be posted often leading to cases of tweet first, think later’. Clubs are attempting to crack down on their players using the site, with some openly criticising decisions made by the manager or the actions of rival players during the match, bringing unwanted attention, but this is ultimately hard to control. It’s sometimes nice to read a player’s immediate reaction to incidents, but if this response shifts blame, it can be frustrating to fans and lose said player a little credibility.

The influence of Twitter is unlikely to disappear for quite some time, with control over players use of the site difficult to maintain. Mexican top-tier outfit Jaguares recently made use of the medium, with players Twitter names, aswell as the accounts of sponsors, being printed on to the shirts, showing a progressive marketing technique. If this catches on the influence of the site may become further tied to the game, and eventually woven into the fabric. It can be refreshing to read the thoughts of star performers, yet as the saying goes, never meet your heroes, and Twitter’s unique interaction ability is slowly proving this to be true.
