'Wicketless Powerplay hurt' – Mashrafe

Mashrafe Mortaza has said that his team needed to pick up wickets in the Powerplay overs of Australia’s chase to have had a chance of defending 156 on a “flattish” pitch

‘We still have to be positive’ – Mashrafe

Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said that his team needed to pick up wickets in the Powerplay overs of Australia’s chase to have had a chance of defending 156 on a “flattish” pitch.Led by Usman Khawaja, Australia raced to 51 for no loss in the first six overs of their innings, and eventually chased down the target with nine balls to spare.”This ground has always been high-scoring, but still I think we got a total that we could fight it out,” Mashrafe said. “First six overs were very crucial, we couldn’t get any wickets. Later on, we got [Shane] Watson, but it was too late, I think. And obviously, fielding should have been a lot better.” Bangladesh dropped two catches, letting off Watson on 12 and John Hastings on 0. The two finished with 21 and 3 respectively.Mashrafe felt Bangladesh could have posted 170 if they had not lost wickets at inopportune moments at the start and middle of their innings. That they made 156 was down to an unbeaten 29-ball 49 from Mahmudullah.Asked why Mahmudullah, who had batted at No. 5 in the two innings he had played in the tournament before this one, was demoted, Mashrafe said the batsman felt more comfortable at No. 6. “We have been promoting him. Last three matches, we were promoting him to No. 5,” Mashrafe said. “He doesn’t feel that confident in that particular [slot], because he feels that at No. 6 he has been scoring, so whatever he feels that he is comfortable, we try to adjust like that.”A big miss for Bangladesh in the batting department was Tamim Iqbal, who fell ill and missed the match. Mashrafe expected him to recover in time for their next match, against India on Wednesday. “I think he got a little bit of food poisoning and he was very tired at that time, so hopefully it will be fine. There are 40 hours left for the [next] match, so I think he will be all right.”

Diniz destaca primeiro tempo do São Paulo e minimiza lesões: 'Natural'

MatériaMais Notícias

Sem brilho, o São Paulo empatou com o Bahia com o placar zerado, na Arena Fonte Nova, e perdeu a chance de chegar ao G4 do Brasileiro. Após o duelo, nesta quarta-feira, o técnico Fernando Diniz afirmou que primeiro tempo do Tricolor foi bem melhor e que poderia vencer o jogo. Além do mau resultado, o comandante ainda tem que lidar com os desfalques, mas ele lida de forma natural.

– Empate pelo que aconteceu no jogo, talvez sim, talvez não… Difícil falar. Pelo volume do primeiro tempo estávamos mais perto de ganhar o jogo. Se consegue manter o primeiro tempo teria boa chance de vencer. Desfalques da seleção: dois jogadores convocados. Não dá para focar no que aconteceu das lesões, que são naturais do futebol. Bahia também teve. Juanfran a gente preservou ele. Ele foi falar comigo e estava incomodado, o Pablo tinha saído. Resolvemos tirar para não ter algum problema e ter de tirar por lesão. Acho que o Juanfran não deve ser problema. Acho que foi isso – disse.

Diniz também comentou sobre a volta de Alexandre Pato. O atacante teve a melhor chance de balançar a rede na segunda etapa.

– Pato é um talento muito singular. É um dos maiores jogadores que joga no Brasil com certeza. É um cara que tem muito recurso em todas valências: físicas e técnicas. É um cara que tem uma genialidade que pode decidir a qualquer momento. Ajudou no que deu para ajudar na parte tática e é um jogador que pode sempre esperar que em uma chance pode decidir. Hoje passou perto de decidir. Esperamos uma evolução física e tática com o decorrer dos dias – concluiu.

Ele também comentou sobre as convocações e sobre as lesões. Ele ressaltou que todos os times acabam sofrendo com os amistosos da Seleção e isso pode acarretar em lesões para sequência.

– Problema não só do São Paulo, mas para todos. São Paulo sofre com jogadores convocados. ISso foge do controle. Número de lesões consegue com trabalho e conversando com jogadores dá pra diminuir. Mas convocados…. Corinthians teve um, no máximo dois. Eram dois jogadores importantes. Muito difícil de repor – disse.

O treinador ressaltou os contra-ataques empregados pelo Bahia no decorrer do jogo. Além disso, relatou que seja a melhor arma dos baianos na competição.

– Nada de casual. Foi muito treinado. Bahia tem o melhor contra-ataque do Brasil e treinamos para evitar. Alguns momentos cedemos a bola e foi estudado. Fomos felizes. Tiveram um ou dois contra-ataques. Mapeamos muito bem essa jogada do Bahia, que talvez seja a principal arma do time no Brasileiro – afirmou.

Com o resultado, o São Paulo soma 40 pontos, na quinta colocação. No domingo, os paulistas fazem clássico com o Corinthians, às 18h, no Morumbi.

Wright, Brown stage Sussex recovery

Sussex batsman Luke Wright fell four runs short of three figures on an even first day of the season against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl.

ScorecardLuke Wright fell four short of an opening day ton•Getty ImagesSussex batsman Luke Wright fell four runs short of three figures on an even first day of the season against Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl. Playing in his 100th first-class match, he fell for a magnificent 96 as Sussex battled from 22 for 3 to end the day on 300 for 6.Ben Brown also scored a well-made and unbeaten 85 after Hampshire’s winter recruit Gareth Berg took a wicket with his first delivery for his new county.The visitors won the toss and elected to bat on a clear south-coast morning but soon found themselves struggling on 22 for 3. Opening bowler James Tomlinson – who nabbed 46 wickets last season – found an early breakthrough in the seventh over, as he clipped the top of Luke Well’s off-stump for a 12-ball duck.Hampshire fast bowler Berg proved the man of the morning as he ended the session with figures of 2 for 6. Berg, on his first Championship match since facing Nottinghamshire for Middlesex exactly a year ago, struck with his first delivery since making the switch from the capital, as he bowled Chris Nash for 11 in the 11th over. The South African born seamer stuck again exactly an over later, when he found the edge of Michael Yardy’s bat, caught behind for 6 – as the visitors languished.Ed Joyce and Craig Cachopa steadied the slide with a timely 70-run partnership for the fourth wicket, before the former fell victim to Danny Briggs, after a fluent 42 from 99 balls. Spinner Briggs managed to find some exaggerated bounce to find the edge of the Irishman’s bat – Sean Ervine plucked it at gully. The next ball, Briggs thought he had bagged Wright for a golden duck, when he rapped the England international on the pads, but the umpire turned down his loud appeal.Left-armer Chris Wood snared his first wicket of the season in the 48th over, when Cachopa pushed at a ball coming across him – as he departed for a well-worked 41 from 107 ballsWright brought up an excellent 69-ball fifty, three overs before tea with a pushed single behind square – the 24th of his first-class career. Brown arrived at the same milestone off 73 balls, in a knock including six boundaries, an over before the pair celebrated their 100-run partnership.The duo looked at ease slicing the ball around the expansive Ageas Bowl outfield and offered little chances in the early evening. But Tomlinson managed to find the outside edge of a driving Wright to finally see off the batsman for 96, four overs into the second new ball.Despite their early dominance, Hampshire were made to toil as the shadows descended on the outfield and they picked up a third bonus point in the 94th over. Brown will have an agonising wait overnight as he sits 15 runs short of a sixth first-class century.Speaking after the play, Berg said: “I couldn’t ask for a better start. I’ve battled with Nashy a couple of times over the years and it was nice to get him again. I think it was a fair day, a couple of decision could have gone our way but the bowlers toiled pretty well out there for the first day of a season. We aren’t too disappointed.Sussex’s Wright added: “If I had been offered 96 before I went out to bat I would have snapped your hand off for it but is disappointing to get so close. I was trying to take it to the bowlers and I nicked one but that’s part of the game.”I didn’t want to just hang around there, it was nipping around and they were bowling well so I wanted to put it back on them. It was difficult against the new ball, I feel bad for the lads, but I got away quickly and able to settle.”

حارس أتلتيك بلباو: مارك جويو سيحظى بمستقبل عظيم في برشلونة.. وهدفه أغضبني

تحدث أوناي سيمون، حارس مرمى فريق أتلتيك بلباو، عن خسارتهم في مباراة الأمس ضد برشلونة في الدوري الإسباني.

وتلاقى الفريقان في إطار منافسات الجولة العاشرة من الدوري الإسباني، حيث فاز برشلونة بهدف دون رد (لمطالعة التفاصيل من هنا).

جاء هدف فوز برشلونة عن طريق اللاعب الشاب، مارك جويو، في الدقيقة 80 بعد دقيقة من نزوله.

وقال أوناي سيمون في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “كانت المباراة مفتوحة لكلا افريقين، قمنا بالضغط، كل شئ كان مفتوحًا لكل فريق، أول من أدخل الكرة في المرمى كان لديه أفضل فرصة للحصول على النقاط الثلاث، هذا ما حدث”.

وأضاف: “إنها مباراة فردية، أنا غاضب لأن الهدف جاء بالقرب مني، كان في الإمكان أن أفعل المزيد”.

وأردف: “أردنا الحصول على النقاط الثلاث، وأردنا توسيع الفارق مع المركز السابع إلى حد ما، لقد فلتت منا تلك الفرصة، علينا أن نواصل العمل للحصول على النقاط الثلاث في المباراة المقبلة”.

وواصل: “مارك جويو؟ حتى لو كانوا لاعبين شباب، يمكن أن يصبحوا حاسمين، كان مارك موجودًا اليوم، أتمنى أن يحظى بمستقبل عظيم في برشلونة، وأنا متأكد من أنه سيحقق أداءً جيدًا”.

Match evenly poised as Bangladesh take narrow lead

Self-inflicted wounds, including three run-outs, cost Bangladesh as they managed only a 14-run lead after bowling Zimbabwe out for 240

The Report by Karthik Krishnaswamy26-Oct-2014
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsMominul Haque was fluent during his half-century on the second morning•AFPSelf-inflicted wounds, including three run-outs, cost Bangladesh as they managed only a 14-run lead after bowling Zimbabwe out for 240. The Zimbabwe openers survived the two overs that remained after Bangladesh were bowled out, leaving the match intriguingly poised going into the third day.Mominul Haque, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim made half-centuries, and looked mostly untroubled by Zimbabwe’s bowlers, but none of them carried on to a more substantial score. This meant the lower order was at the crease when Zimbabwe took the second new ball, and Bangladesh duly folded from 213 for 6 to 254 all out. Tinashe Panyangara, who had dismissed the openers, bounced out Mushfiqur and hurtled through the lower order to finish with five wickets.The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium continued to offer turn and unpredictable bounce, but Zimbabwe’s two frontline spinners failed to exploit it, as combined figures of 36-6-116-1 would suggest. They scarcely made a dent in the composure of Mominul, Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur, who batted serenely to combine in partnerships of 63 and 64 for the third and fifth wickets.But Bangladesh kept losing wickets against the run of play. Mahmudullah was lbw with tea looming, trying to lap-sweep the part-time offspinner Sikandar Raza. Before that, in the space of 27 balls either side of lunch, Mominul and Shakib Al Hasan were run out. Mominul was caught short by a direct hit from Raza, but only because he failed to drag his bat over the crease. Shakib fell victim to poor communication from his partner Mahmudullah and to a glorious piece of athleticism from Tendai Chatara, who dived to collect a wayward throw and disturbed the bails with a back-hand flick, all in one swooping motion.At that point, Bangladesh were four down and 126 behind. Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur steered them out of trouble, milking Zimbabwe’s inexperienced spinners and pouncing on the loose balls they served up. Mushfiqur went after the offspinner Nyumbu, who only bowled three overs in the second session, slog-sweeping him for six and square-cutting him when he dragged one short and wide. Mahmudullah drove the legspinner Tafadzwa Kamungozi for successive fours through cover to bring up his half-century.Kamungozi bowled quicker and flatter than his fellow debutant Jubair Hossain had done in Zimbabwe’s innings, and struggled to hit a good length. On a couple of occasions when he did, he spun the ball sharply past the outside edge, but was often too short or too full.Zimbabwe’s best bowlers were their two fast bowlers, Chatara and Panyangara. Bangladesh had added only two runs to their overnight 27 for 1 when Shamsur Rahman spooned Panyangara straight to mid-off, off a delivery that seemed to stop on the batsman. It wasn’t the first time that had happened on this pitch, but the dismissal wasn’t just about that one misbehaving ball. Shamsur had scored only one run off the previous 20 balls he had faced, and the sight, or illusion, of a driveable delivery caused him to snatch too eagerly at his shot.At the other end, Chatara was keeping Mominul just as quiet. He bowled four overs in his first spell of the day, and each of them was a maiden. Mominul faced all 24 balls, nearly all of which were angled across him towards a fourth-stump line, and judged his responses impeccably, showing none of the vulnerability that afflicts most batsmen in that channel.Mahmudullah got going with successive fours off Panyangara, but was otherwise restrained as the two fast men completed their first spells of the morning. When Chatara and Panyangara went off, the pressure on the batsmen eased a little, and scoring opportunities grew more plentiful.Mahmudullah pierced the gap in front of point with a backfoot punch off the medium-pacer Elton Chigumbura, and Mominul square-cut Kamungozi and drove Nyumbu inside out. On the odd occasion when the ball turned and bounced, both batsmen minimised the damage by playing close to the body and with soft hands.The partnership ended when Chatara came back for one final over before the break. Had Mominul grounded his bat properly, or had Raza’s throw missed, he would have scored the first run off Chatara in the morning. He ended with figures of 5-5-0-0 for the first session, and 22-11-27-0 for the innings.

BCB to invite bidders for media rights

The Bangladesh Cricket Board has issued a tender to sell worldwide media rights for six years until 2020

Mohammad Isam24-Apr-2014The Bangladesh Cricket Board has issued a tender to sell worldwide media rights for six years until 2020. Two India tours to Bangladesh and a slightly enlarged international schedule during this period are what the BCB are hoping would attract bidders, who have to submit their proposals by May 8.Interested parties can start buying tenders from April 27 till May 8. There will be an open auction on May 12, which Kazi Inam Ahmed, the BCB’s marketing and commercial committee chairman, believes will ensure the best valuation for the board. He has laid the groundwork to devise the best way to find a suitable broadcaster, which now includes an eligibility clause that will enable Bangladeshi TV channels to apply.”We are going to hold an open auction on May 12 which we believe will allow us to find the best possible offer,” Inam said. “This time the tender will be slightly different as broadcasters with a year’s experience in the business can also apply. Over the last two years, we have found out that local TV channels are capable of handling this type of work.”This is BCB’s second attempt to find a new broadcaster, having been frustrated by the lack of considerable offers two years ago.Their last such long-term deal was with Nimbus, which lasted till early 2012. It was a botched-up six-year deal, from which the BCB did not get the full contracted amount till date. For the last three home bilateral series (West Indies in 2012, New Zealand in 2013 and Sri Lanka in 2014) therefore, the BCB had to bring on single-series broadcasters, including local TV stations Channel 9 and Maasranga TV.BCB president Nazmul Hassan had confirmed in February that India had signed the Members’ Participation Agreement to tour in 2014, 2015 and 2020. This year a tri-series involving Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka and a Test series against Zimbabwe are planned, while Pakistan, South Africa and Australia are also scheduled to tour next year.

Chance for Sri Lanka to seal final berth

Afghanistan, fresh from their landmark win against Bangladesh, will be full of confidence when they take on Sri Lanka in the first ever ODI between the two teams

The Preview by Mohammad Isam02-Mar-20140:00

Agarkar: SL too strong for Afghanistan

Match FactsMarch 3, 2014
1400 local (0800 GMT)Big Picture With wins against Pakistan and India, Sri Lanka have been the dominant side in the tournament and one more win will confirm their place in the final. But they would not want to slip up against Afghanistan, who surprised the hosts on Saturday with a 32-run win.Watching Afghanistan’s all-round display was perhaps the most refreshing sight of this Asia Cup. Mohammad Nabi leads a group of hungry cricketers who do not look out of place in ODI cricket. The performances of Samiullah Shenwari and Asghar Stanikzai in particular were eye-catching, as they completely changed the course of the match against Bangladesh. Shenwari and Stanikzai now hold the record for the highest sixth-wicket partnership among the Associates.Shenwari is the more attacking of the pair, with a penchant for playing the cut and hitting straight, and his timing hit near perfection against Bangladesh. Stanikzai started off slowly, but has said that he has the confidence of increasing the strike-rate whenever he wants.Samiullah Shenwari’s match-winning 81 against Bangladesh has been one of the biggest highlights of the tournament so far•Associated PressAfghanistan’s bowling attack has good variety and the bowlers can be aggressive with the new ball. Shapoor Zadran, Dawlat Zadran and Hamid Hassan have been quite attacking with their lengths, but surprisingly, they have not been using the bouncers. Nabi, Shenwari and Hamza Hotak have been tidy with the spin too.Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews would hope that the likes of Mahela Jayawardene and Dinesh Chandimal find some form. They also have the opportunity to experiment with their bowling attack, but will be wary of Afghanistan, who have shown they have the ability to surprise.Form guide
(Completed matches, most recent first)
Sri Lanka WWWWW
Afghanistan WLWWWWatch out for
The all-round showing by Samiullah Shenwari has been very impressive. He bats freely and can go after any bowler. His legspin is also effective, particularly his ability to generate turn.Sri Lanka are beginning to get the benefits of Kusal Perera, an opener who bats aggressively. He has given them rapid starts recently, and will be expected to do so once again.Team newsUnless there are injuries, Afghanistan are not likely to change their playing XI.Afghanistan (possible): 1 Mohammad Shahzad (wk), 2 Karim Sadiq, 3 Asghar Stanikzai, 4 Nawroz Mangal, 5 Mohammad Nabi (capt), 6 Samiullah Shenwari, 7 Najibullah Zadran, 8 Mirwais Ashraf, 9 Hamza Hotak, 10 Hamid Hassan/Dawlat Zadran, 11 Shapoor Zadran.Sri Lanka could rest a few of their big who have been playing non-stop for a month and a half, which means Ashan Priyanjan, Dhammika Prasad and Suranga Lakmal could get a chance to play.Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Kusal Perera, 2 Lahiru Thirimanne, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Dinesh Chandimal, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Chaturanga de Silva, 8 Thisara Perera, 9 Sachitra Senanayake, 10 Lasith Malinga, 11 Ajantha Mendis.Pitch and conditionsThe Mirpur wicket will remain batting friendly, and unlike Fatullah, the batsmen would want to go after the bowling early in the game as the wicket slows down with time.Stats and trivia This is the first-ever Sri Lanka-Afghanistan ODI match. Sri Lanka have lost only one game against an Associate, to Kenya in the 2003 World Cup.Quotes”We will hopefully do well against Sri Lanka too.”
“Afghanistan’s bowling attack is very strong and they have an aggressive attitude. We are not taking them lightly.”
