Short's record 122* sets up Hurricanes' fourth straight win

D’Arcy Short made the highest score in BBL history and took 1 for 20 from four overs, yet it was only just enough for Hobart Hurricanes to squeeze past the Brisbane Heat by three runs

The Report by Alex Malcolm10-Jan-2018
D’Arcy Short made the highest score in BBL history and took 1 for 20 from four overs, yet it was only just enough for Hobart Hurricanes to squeeze past the Brisbane Heat by three runs.Short was magnificent. His 122 not out from just 69 balls featured eight sixes and eight fours. It accounted for 68% of the Hurricanes’ total, with no other player reaching 20.Sam Heazlett and Brendon McCullum lit up the Powerplay in the run chase before Short and Cameron Boyce changed the game with eight overs of quality wristspin. Alex Ross began to dig his team out but was given out obstructing the field in bizarre circumstances trying to avoid being run-out.It left Jimmy Peirson, Mark Steketee and Brendon Doggett to get 48 from 18 balls and they nearly did it. Doggett needed four off the last ball but Daniel Christian held his nerve to finish a well-executed final over.The Hurricanes won their four game in a row to match the Heat on four wins overall.Spin works, pace doesn’tFor as well as Short has played during the tournament, opposition teams know they can contain him with spin, particularly in the Powerplay. The Heat did that in three of the six overs. Joe Burns and Yasir Shah delivered 18 balls for just 17 runs and conceded only one boundary. The problem came in the other three. Short struck four fours and two sixes from the 13 balls he faced from Steketee and Doggett to get the Hurricanes off to a flyer at 1 for 56 after six.Getty Images

One man showShort’s still head is the key to his pure ball-striking. This was his third 90-plus score but this time he had no help from the other end. Alex Doolan, Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott and George Bailey scored just 48 runs from 51 balls between them. Short did give one chance on 60. A towering top edge to midwicket burst through the hands of Joe Burns. The Heat paid a mighty price. Short hit Doggett into the stands to bring up his maiden T20 century in the 19th over. In the 20th, he hit Steketee for three consecutive sixes to set a new record in the BBL, surpassing Luke Wright’s 117 in the first edition of BBL.Mills’ nightmareTymal Mills has been one of the most expensive bowlers in the tournament to date and his opening two overs in the Powerplay did nothing to help those figures. Heazlett and McCullum had already made a rapid start, after Bailey gambled again with Simon Milenko in the opening over at a cost of 16.Mills’ nightmare began without ball in hand. He dropped McCullum at short fine leg off the last ball of the third over. He was immediately introduced to the bowling crease, and McCullum thumped him twice to the boundary. He gave up two more boundaries in the last over of the Powerplay. Heazlett’s striking was audacious in the absence of Chris Lynn. He and McCullum took 62 from the first six overs to get ahead of the required rate.Spin twinsBoyce and Short changed the game. They took 3 for 34 in six straight overs of wristspin. Boyce induced a false stroke from McCullum in the seventh over, with Bailey holding a similar chance to the one Burns put down. Short dropped an easy caught and bowled chance off Burns. But he did not concede a boundary in his first two overs and Burns holed out to Boyce as a result. Short was rewarded with the wicket of Heazlett, who also became frustrated by a lack of boundaries.When Short completed his fourth over, the Heat needed 74 from 36 balls. Ben Cutting and Alex Ross were still at the crease. Jofra Archer then took the air out of the stadium with a stunning one-handed return catch. A slower ball reached the middle of Cutting’s bat at 120kph, and rocketed back at Archer quicker than that. Archer calmly stuck his right hand up above his head and, like a magic trick, the ball disappeared in the blink of an eye.Obstructing the fieldThe moment of magic gave way to a moment of madness. Ross kept pushing. He struck two boundaries off Mills to get the equation to 49 from 19 balls. Then he hit a ball to deep midwicket and pushed for two. The fielder fired wide of the stumps at the strikers end and hit Ross as he was sliding to make his ground. The ball actually ricocheted off Ross onto the stumps. The Hurricanes appealed thinking he might have been short. He made it, but replays showed he had veered off his line. If anything, he appeared to veer away from the ball to avoid being hit rather than intentionally into the line of the ball to block the throw.The third umpire adjudicated differently and Ross was given out. Post-match, the two captains held a long and terse discussion regarding the dismissal. Bailey said he simply asked the question and the umpires made the call. The Heat still needed 48 off 18. Steketee and Peirson gave it an almighty shake. Three sixes and three fours in 12 balls meant the Heat needed 13 from the last over. Christian had not batted or bowled in the match but was called upon to ice the game. Despite a wide first ball, he achieved the task with a mix of quicker and slower ball yorkers that neither Peirson or Doggett could middle.

Bragantino não marcava quatro gols num jogo de Série A desde 1995

MatériaMais Notícias

O nome Red Bull Bragantino é novo, mas a história do Massa Bruta é antiga. De volta à elite do futebol brasileiro após 21 anos distante, o Braga tenta se firmar na Série A nas próximas temporadas.

Nesse sábado, a equipe conquistou uma importante vitória sobre o Ceará, por 4 a 2, que o deixou mais próximo de seu objetivo. O triunfo tirou o time da zona de rebaixamento – pode voltar, dependendo dos resultados deste domingo – e encerrou uma sequência de seis jogos sem ganhar na competição.

A vitória expressiva, com muitos gols, foi importante também para dar moral ao grupo. Para se ter uma ideia, desde 1995 que o Bragantino não estufava as redes tantas vezes em uma partida de Série A. E a última vez que isso havia ocorrido, a equipe sequer venceu. Foi num 4 a 4, contra o Santos – que seria finalista daquele Brasileirão -, na Vila Belmiro.

Na época, o time contava com o jovem Maurinho, que faria carreira no Flamengo, o ponta esquerda Adil, ex-Corinthians e Grêmio, e o meia Kelly, que defenderia posteriormente Athletico Paranaense e Cruzeiro, e que foi responsável por dois dos quatro gols do Bragantino naquela tarde. O centroavante Adalberto anotou os outros dois, enquanto que Jamelli, três vezes, e Giovanni, fizeram para o Santos.

E se repetir a boa atuação deste fim de semana, com um futebol de transição rápida e qualidade na construção, é provável que repita o volume de gols mais vezes.

ووكر: نريد لقب الدوري الإنجليزي للمرة الخامسة تواليًا.. ولا نحتاج دافعًا إضافيًا أمام مانشستر يونايتد

يرى كايل ووكر، نجم فريق مانشستر سيتي، أن لديهم القدرة على الفوز بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز للمرة الخامسة على التوالي.

ونجح مانشستر سيتي، يوم الأحد الماضي، في تحقيق إنجاز تاريخي غير مسبوق، بعدما حقق بطولة الدوري الإنجليزي للمرة الرابعة تواليًا.

ويخوض مانشستر سيتي غدًا مباراة نهائي كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي ضد مانشستر يونايتد، على ملعب “ويمبلي”.

وقال ووكر في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “جارديان” الإنجليزية، عندما سُئل عن إمكانية الدفاع عن لقب الدوري الإنجليزي الموسم المقبل: “لماذا لا يمكننا أن نحقق 5 على التوالي؟”.

وأضاف: “سنقاتل على كأس الاتحاد الإنجليزي، وبعد ذلك الكثير منا سيمثل بلاده في بطولة أوروبا أو كوبا أمريكا وسنفعل ذلك بكل فخر، بعد ذلك، آمل أن نحصل على نوع من الراحة لأنك تحتاج إلى إعادة شحن طاقتك، ليس حتى جسديًا ولكن عقليًا”.

وواصل: “لكن يمكنني أن أؤكد لكم عندما نعود للموسم التحضيري، قد يستغرق الأمر بضعة أيام للتخلص من شعور الإرهاق، ولكن بمجرد أن تأتي أول مباراة في الدوري الإنجليزي، سنعود مباشرة إلى الحركة ونحاول الدفاع عن لقبنا”.

وأردف: “مانشستر سيتي آلة جيدة التجهيز، وجوارديولا القوة الدافعة، إنه يدفعك كل يوم ويمكنني أن أؤكد لك أن ما يفعله في المباريات هو ما يفعله في التدريبات، أنت مثل الإسفنجة وتتغذى على ذلك لأن طاقته تتدفق عليك، ويقع على عاتقنا كلاعبين متابعة ما قاله وتنفيذه”.

وأكد ووكر أنه ليس هناك حاجة إلى الإلهام الإضافي قبل مباراة الكأس، حيث قال: “الدافع يتحدث عن نفسه، أن نكون أول فريق يحقق الثنائية مرتين متتاليتين، أول فريق يفوز بأربعة ألقاب من الدوري متتالية، أول فريق منذ مانشستر يونايتد يحقق الثلاثية، نستمر في التغلب على هذه العقبات وهذه عقبة أخرى نحتاج إلى التغلب عليها”.

واستمر: “لكن هذا يعني اللعب ضد منافسينا الذين يعيشون في نفس المدينة وسيقاتلون ضدنا، نحن بحاجة للتأكد من أننا نلعب بنفس طريقتنا، خاصة حتى نهاية هذا الموسم، إن الاستمرار في المضي قدمًا في الوقت الذي كان آرسنال فيه متقدمًا يؤكد الفضل الكبير لنا ويظهر الحماس وأخلاقيات العمل لا تزال موجودة”.

واختتم: “ما زلنا نأتي إلى التدريب الآن ونرغب في الجهد والعمل الجاد لتحقيق نهاية جيدة لهذا الموسم الإيجابي”.

Mirpur pitch gets 'below average' rating

The venue has earned a demerit point, with match referee David Boon ruling that uneven bounce and inconsistent turn, ‘which was even excessive at times’, skewed the second Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka heavily in favour of the bowlers

Mohammad Isam14-Feb-2018

Associated Press

The pitch at the Shere Bangla National Stadium has been rated “below average” by the ICC for its performance in the second Test between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. As a result, the Mirpur ground has received one demerit point, which will remain on its record for a five-year period.If the venue reaches a total of five demerit points during the five-year period, it will be suspended from hosting any international cricket for 12 months.Before, during and after the Test match, the pitch received a lot of flak for being too dry and spin-friendly. Sri Lanka crushed Bangladesh by 215 runs in a contest in which the highest team total was 226. Spinners took 30 of the 38 wickets that fell to the bowlers, with both sides fielding just one seamer each.In his remarks, match referee David Boon, who gave the rating, said: “From day one, there was evidence of the ball breaking the pitch surface, which resulted in uneven bounce throughout the match, along with inconsistent turn, which was even excessive at times. This pitch produced a contest that was too heavily skewed in favour of the bowlers, and didn’t give the batsmen a fair chance to display their skills.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd

It has been a particularly chastening time for the BCB, with the Chittagong pitch for the first Test also receiving a below-average rating from Boon. That game produced the second-highest match aggregate – 1533 runs – in Bangladesh, and the lowest wicket count – 24 – in matches lasting 2000 or more balls.Last September, the Shere Bangla National Stadium received a ‘below average’ rating from the ICC for the pitch for the Bangladesh-Australia Test at the venue, and a “poor” rating for its outfield.

Everton: Moyes’ 2012 signing would be better than Dwight McNeil

Everton boast a rich history littered with outstanding players, although in recent memory that kind of talent has been in short supply.

The last two full Premier League seasons have seen the Toffees embroiled in a couple of arduous relegation battles, somehow surviving despite the numerous obstacles that stood in their way.

Injuries, unrest, protests and pitch invasions, Goodison Park has played host to it all, and although Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell operated shrewdly on a shoestring budget, the summer of this year represented an important one both with regard to balancing the books and improving the squad despite losing some star men.

However, after just four league games they are still without a win, and face last year’s title challengers Arsenal upon the conclusion of the international break. Things do not get any easier.

Such continued misery around Merseyside will likely have fans harking back to better times, of Howard Kendall’s magical managerial era, and even as recently as Roberto Martinez’s first term following David Moyes’ departure.

former everton manager roberto martinez on the sideline vs palace premier league 2015-16 season

The Spaniard’s enthralling style of football has underpinned one of the younger generation’s only real memories of success, as they soared to a fifth-place finish, arguably deserving more, and would impress in the Europa League the following campaign.

What made his tenure so special was that they did so with an exciting brand of football that, whilst it often left them lacking at the back, was always a fun watch.

Although Dyche is supposed to offer a more pragmatic, results-driven philosophy, there are flashes of the attacking brilliance, particularly in Dwight McNeil, who could have been a mainstay at Everton in 2013.

How many goals has McNeil scored for Everton?

Having been signed by Frank Lampard in a £20m deal, McNeil had flattered to deceive during his time in Lancashire, but remains vastly experienced in the top flight for someone so young.

After all, the 23-year-old boasts 171 Premier League appearances already, and yet his best goalscoring season before joining came in 2019, with just three strikes.

Few wondered what he was expected to offer when it was Neal Maupay he was tasked with supplying, but it seems that the trickster grew into a role that demanded more of an attacking impetus, breaking numerous personal records during his first year at Goodison Park.

His seven goals and three assists made him the Toffees’ top scorer in the league last term, and as such he also maintained an admirable 7.06 average rating. Such a fine figure was further upheld by his 1.4 key passes, 1.8 tackles and 1.5 successful dribbles per game, via Sofascore.

Drifting from the right onto his lethal left foot, it proved a clinical and consistent area of success for an otherwise unreliable side that needed someone to step up and take charge in their hour of need.

All stats via Transfermarkt.

After all, the 34 goals they scored in the league that term was the second-lowest in the division, having also started the current campaign without a goal in their opening three fixtures.

His exploits will seldom be forgotten in a hurry, and the hope will be that he can continue to grow as the squad evolves around him. Especially given how his stock has risen across the last year, with pundit Clinton Morrison seeking to praise him on Sky Sports’ Gillette Soccer Saturday: “He’s an elegant footballer," he began.

“He likes to get half a yard and whip balls into the box but when you get into those positions, he should definitely be scoring more goals. Hopefully, this goal will give him confidence moving forward because the strike was magnificent."

That plea to see him find the net with more regularity might seem harsh given McNeil has just enjoyed his best-ever term in front of goal, but with the stars of the past that the Merseyside club has enjoyed over the years, it is understandable to expect more.

One such example hailed from that aforementioned Martinez side that drew so many plaudits, and could thrive in their current system; Kevin Mirallas.

How good was Kevin Mirallas at Everton?

Mirallas was one of the outstanding assets from not just that period, but both before and after such was his consistency, varied skillset and longevity.

The 60-cap Belgian joined from Olympiacos in 2012 under Moyes, and would enjoy seven impressive years in England before to his homeland in 2019.

He would oversee five different permanent managers in the Goodison Park dugout, with the peak of his powers certainly coming under Martinez’s tutelage.

His performances throughout the 2013/14 season help to support this notion, as he scored eight and assisted nine in the league alone. Reporter Adam Lefkoe would even write on Twitter that he was an "animal."

Given the attacker would make 186 total appearances for the club, scoring 38 and assisting 35, it might be a stretch to suggest he is a legend, but completely fair to brand him a cult hero.

This suggestion comes despite the winger consistently being linked with an exit that never came, as he sought to reassure fans with an interview in 2015: “I have always been proud to wear this shirt at Everton.

“At the start of the season I was very happy with my form. I had come back from injury and started the season really, really well and people speaking about me wanting to leave has never come from me.

“When you have a good start to the season and you are playing well, people are maybe showing a bit of an interest in you.

“But the supporters can rest assured that it never came from me and I never said I wanted to leave."

His love for the Toffees was well-documented, with his dynamism and trademark directness proving a thorn in the side of most defences he faced. Given McNeil boasts a wildly differing profile, it could be argued that he is not nearly as impactful.

The hope will be that a full season under Dyche’s leadership once more could help propel the youngster’s figures to the aforementioned heights that Mirallas reached.

However, with the struggles that they have endured when it comes to finding the net, were they blessed with such an outstanding goalscoring winger now, the 52-year-old manager would see the bulk of his prayers answered.

Can Bangladesh turn their form around against resurgent Sri Lanka?

Bangladesh have lost 13 of their last 14 T20Is, and will need to resolve their batting issues, particularly their difficulty with rotating the strike

The Preview by Mohammad Isam09-Mar-2018

Associated Press

Big pictureSri Lanka and Bangladesh are at opposite ends of the confidence spectrum as they face up in the Nidahas Trophy. Bangladesh haven’t won an international match since January 23, since when they have lost two ODIs, two Tests and three T20s on the trot. Sri Lanka on the other hand have looked like a different unit, following their successes in Bangladesh. Their five-wicket win over India showed where their confidence currently stands.Their chase against India, in which the middle order latched on to the fast start made by the top order, was quite pleasing. Although Kusal Mendis fell cheaply, Kusal Perera struck a superb 66 off 37 balls before big hitters Dasun Shanaka and Thisara Perera rounded it off with precision. It might have been against a second-string India attack, but Sri Lanka were happy to beat them.They would, however, be slightly worried about their bowlers. Akila Dananjaya went wicketless, and Nuwan Pradeep was carted around, which meant part-timers Jeevan Mendis and Danushka Gunathilaka had to share six overs. Their fast bowlers, including Thisara Perera, would be inclined to bowl short at the Bangladesh batsmen, given their moderate success using this length earlier this year.Facing Sri Lanka’s short-ball barrage is one of several problems Bangladesh could face. Their 139 for 8 against India was not just sub-par, but a reflection of their mentality. They played out 68 dot balls as they mistimed several attempts to hit boundaries. Even Liton Das and Sabbir Rahman, who got out in the thirties, were guilty of eating up dot balls. Mushfiqur Rahim got out at the wrong time.What will encourage Bangladesh would be their bowling, which looked slightly improved in the India game. Mustafizur Rahman, Rubel Hossain and Mehidy Hasan bowled well, as did Nazmul Islam, although he was underbowled. Having lost 13 of their last 14 T20Is, though, they will need to find ways to build on these small gains.Form guideSri Lanka: WWWLL (last five matches, most recent first)
Bangladesh: LLLLLIn the spotlightHaving missed much of Sri Lanka’s tour of Bangladesh through injury, Kusal Perera stormed back into international cricket with a quickfire 66 against India. More fireworks will be expected on Saturday.Soumya Sarkar was Bangladesh’s top scorer in T20 internationals in 2017, despite not holding on to his place in the Test and ODI teams. He has crossed 40 three times in his last five innings, and will be expected to carry that form forward.Associated Press

Team newsSri Lanka may switch Nuwan Pradeep with Suranga Lakmal to bolster their pace attack.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Danushka Gunathilaka, 2 Kusal Mendis, 3 Kusal Perera, 4 Dinesh Chandimal (capt & wk), 5 Upul Tharanga, 6 Dasun Shanaka, 7 Thisara Perera, 8 Jeevan Mendis, 9 Akila Dananjaya, 10 Dushmantha Chameera, 11 Nuwan PradeepBangladesh have plenty to worry about but perhaps it is not their bowling, which could deter them from adding a seventh batsman to their line-up.Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Liton Das, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Mahmudullah (capt), 6 Sabbir Rahman, 7 Mehidy Hasan, 8 Mustafizur Rahman, 9 Taskin Ahmed, 10 Rubel Hossain, 11 Nazmul IslamPitch and conditionsThe pitches will get slower and more spin-friendly as the tournament goes on. There is a chance of showers in Colombo but the weather is expected to clear by 5pm.Stats and trivia Kusal Perera’s 66 in the last game was his eighth T20I fifty – he joined Kumar Sangakkara as the Sri Lankan with the most fifties in the format without scoring a hundred. Tamim Iqbal has now gone 12 innings without a 50-plus score in T20Is, since scoring an unbeaten century against Oman at the 2016 World T20.Quotes”It is a good wicket, so chasing 170-180 isn’t that hard. We have to bowl better, but I guess we should have scored more runs [in the previous game] too.”

Palmeiras tem campanha de quase rebaixado em casa no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras tem dificuldade quando atua em casa no Campeonato Brasileiro de 2020. São sete partidas como mandante e somente duas vitórias, contra Santos e Ceará. O clássico, vale lembrar, foi vencido no estádio do Morumbi.

A derrota no Choque-Rei fez o aproveitamento da equipe de Vanderlei Luxemburgo cair para 47,6% em compromissos em casa. São sete jogos, com dois triunfos, quatro empates e um revés.

Considerando a classificação somente como mandante, o Verdão tem apenas a décima quinta campanha, somente duas posições acima da “zona de rebaixamento”. Os clubes com desempenho pior são: Atlético-GO, Botafogo, Red Bull Bragantino, Coritiba e Goiás.

O que ajuda a manter o Palmeiras na primeira parte da tabela no geral é o aproveitamento como visitante. São 57,1% de pontos ganhos longe do Allianz e segundo melhor no quesito. O Atlético-MG é o melhor dentro de casa e o Flamengo lidera o posto longe do Maracanã.

O Alviverde tenta melhorar o desempenho nesta quarta-feira (14) contra o Coritiba, às 18h (horário de Brasília), no Allianz Parque.
