Thilan Samaraweera cannot understand why he isn’t in Sri Lanka’s one-day squad•AFP

Thilan Samaraweera wouldn’t have done his chances of securing a place in Sri Lanka’s 2011 World Cup squad any harm when he scored a well-paced 80 off 170 balls against West Indies on the second day of the second test at the R Premadasa Stadium. With Sri Lanka struggling at 34-3, Samaraweera joined his captain, Kumar Sangakkara, to pull the side out of trouble, and at the end of another rain-hit day, Sri Lanka were sitting pretty on 294-5.He was eventually out caught pulling a short ball from Dwayne Bravo down long leg’s throat to end a record 170-run fourth wicket stand with Sangakkara, who was unbeaten on 135 when rain stopped play. With a leg gully, short leg, square leg and long leg in place, Bravo peppered Samaraweera with the short stuff, hoping the batsman would fall for it, and Samaraweera was all too happy to oblige.”On this type of wicket you will be playing and missing a lot outside the off stump,” Samaraweera said. When you try to be too defensive also that happens. At the end of the day I missed another hundred. It was lack of concentration. I am really disappointed because I fell into their trap.”Yesterday (first day) when I came at the close everyone appreciated my knock of 25 not out. That gave a lot of confidence for me. We knew if we could survive the first hour today we could dominate the bowling, and that is what happened.”Samaraweera was the more enterprising of the pair, beating his captain to his half-century. When questioned whether he was trying to prove a point that he could score fast and be in contention for a place in the World Cup squad, he replied, “This year my one-day average is 49, I don’t why I didn’t go to Australia. My duty is scoring runs. I am hoping for the best.”Samaraweera was confident that weather permitting, Sri Lanka had the bowling armoury to win the Test. “We have to bat well tomorrow and if we can get 400 plus it is a big score on this wicket. After that the new ball bowlers and two spinners should be able to do the job.”

Leeds: Injury expert rules Liam Cooper out of Arsenal

Injury expert Ben Dinnery has ruled Leeds United captain Liam Cooper out of this weekend’s meeting with Arsenal.

The Lowdown: Cooper’s late withdrawal

Cooper made a long-awaited return to action last month and helped the Whites concede just once in three games, with Jesse Marsch’s side picking up five points against Southampton, Watford and Crystal Palace.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-leeds-united-updates-2/” title=”Latest Leeds United updates!” poster=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/cropped-2022-03-10T184055Z_1834933207_UP1EI3A1FW561_RTRMADP_3_SOCCER-ENGLAND-LEE-AVA-REPORT-1-scaled-1.jpg” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The 30-year-old was due to start against Manchester City last weekend but pulled out during the warm-up with a knee problem that required a scan.

Midfielder Mateusz Klich replaced Cooper at Elland Road, and it looks as if the centre-back may well miss the trip to the Emirates on Sunday too.

The Latest: Dinnery’s claim

Dinnery, a sports injuries expert and analyst who contributes for Sky Sports, has six injury concerns for Leeds on his Premier Injuries website.

One of those is Cooper, whose current status is listed ‘ruled out’ with a knee problem – the site doesn’t even name a hopeful return date.

Meanwhile, according to Dinnery, striker Patrick Bamford has a May 15 return date following his foot problem.

The Verdict: Wait and see…

Marsch will more than likely provide an injury update to start his pre-match press conference at Thorp Arch later today, with Cooper’s condition obviously a concern.

He helped the Whites stop the rot at the back following his return from a hamstring injury and has been the club’s best-rated defender this season, as per WhoScored.

Therefore, it would be a boost for Marsch and Leeds if Cooper were able to travel to London, so fingers crossed Marsch shares different news to Dinnery.

Com a confiança em alta, Vinicius Júnior ganha chance no time titular

MatériaMais Notícias

Vinicius Júnior é o principal nome do Flamengo em 2018, mas ainda busca a titularidade no time de Carpegiani. Contra a Portuguesa, neste domingo, o jovem atacante vai ter a oportunidade de começar jogando no lugar de Lucas Paquetá, suspenso, e com a confiança em alta após brilhar no Equador contra o Emelec, pela Libertadores, o camisa 20 quer dar outra mostra de que está na briga por uma vaga na equipe.

– Me dá mais confiança. Não só pra mim, mas pra toda equipe. O Flamengo não tinha ganho tem uns quatro anos na Libertadores fora de casa e conseguimos esse feito. Estou procurando evoluir a cada dia, evoluir ao máximo aqui e curtir cada momento no Flamengo – comentou o camisa 20 na chegada à Cariacica.

Se confirmado, será o sexto jogo de Vinicius Júnior como titular. O atacante marcou seis gols em 2018, sendo cinco na etapa final.O único gol que marcou como titular foi contra a Cabofriense, na TG, : 1 a 0 na Ilha do Urubu.

Após a atuação de destaque no Equador, Vini Jr recebeu elogios de Carpegiani, que o classificou como o “12º jogador”. De fato, entre jogos como titular e reserva, o atacante disputou 11 das 14 partidas do Flamengo na temporada. O técnico também indicou que deve utilizar mais o jogador pela ponta direita.

Em 2018, Éverton Ribeiro foi quem mais atuou por essa faixa do campo.

JOIA AGRADECE CARINHO

Na chegada do Flamengo em Cariacica, Vini Jr foi um dos mais tietados pela torcida capixaba. O jogador agradeceu o carinho dos torcedores e ressaltou que, no Espirito Santo, o Rubro-Negro costuma jogar com casa cheia sempre.

– É sempre bom. A torcida sempre comparece aqui nos ajudando. Que seja mais uma excelente partida e que eles possam nos ajudar a vencer – disse.

Uitilzado pelo Flamengo com mais frequência desde 2015, o Kleber Andrade costuma ser palco de vitórias do clube da Gávea. No total, são 14 partidas no estádio, com 10 triunfos, dois empates e duas derrotas – 1 a 0 para o Cruzeiro, no Brasileirão de 1995, e 2 a 1 para o Palestino, na Sul-Americana de 2015.

وأضاف: “تم تحديد موعد الاختبارات الجديدة بالفعل في الأيام/الأسابيع المقبلة، لكن آرثر يحاول العودة في وقت أبكر مما كان متوقعًا”.

وأكمل: “سيعود آرثر إلى التدريبات في نهاية شهر ديسمبر، وعلى الأرجح سيعود إلى أرض الملعب في نهاية شهر يناير، الجهاز الفني لليفربول لا يريدون أي أخطاء في تعافي آرثر ويريدونه لائقا بنسبة 100% قبل اللعب مرة أخرى”.

Réver discorda de dirigente, valoriza empenho do Fla, mas admite: 'Pecamos nas escolhas'

MatériaMais Notícias

A declaração do vice de futebol Ricardo Lomba, que classificou a atuação do Flamengo como ‘uma vergonha’, não teve total concordância no Flamengo. O zagueiro Réver discordou da opinião do dirigente, mas admitiu que o Flamengo pecou na partida e dividiu a culpa com o elenco.

– Cada um tem sua avaliação. Acho que algumas atitudes dentro de campo foram erradas. O segundo tempo foi totalmente o contrário do primeiro. Foi um jogo de uma equipe só. Mas pecamos nas escolhas. Cada um tem que assumir sua culpa – declarou na zona mista.

O Flamengo tinha a vantagem do empate para se classificar, mas o tento de Luiz Fernando mudou os planos. Réver admitiu que o gol sofrido no primeiro tempo surpreendeu o Rubro-negro e acabou mudando a postura da equipe na partida.

– Não conseguimos nos impor, fomos surpreendidos e isso gerou ansiedade e nervosismo. Não podemos aceitar essa postura. Temos que ter estratégia para que isso não volte a acontecer – finalizou o zagueiro.

Abbottabad, SBP hold out for draws

Round-up of the fourth day of the ninth round of Division Two of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

ESPNcricinfo staff22-Dec-2010Abbottabad’s batsmen saved the game against Karachi Whites at the Abbottabad Cricket Stadium, getting to 352 for 7 by the end of the last day. It was a team effort from Abbottabad, with five different batsmen getting past 40. Karachi broke the hosts’ opening partnership early on the fourth day, but then Ghulam Mohammad and Waqar Orakzai put together 61 for the second wicket. Orakzai went on to get 89 and shared a 103-run fourth wicket partnership with Fawad Khan. Fawad scored 72 and Riaz Kail came in and got a half-century too.Karachi may have felt they had a chance to win when they got the fifth wicket with Abbottabad on 277 and time still left in the day. Wicketkeeper Rehan Afridi ensured there was no lower-order collapse, scoring 46. It was a crucial result for Abbottabad, as they stayed level with Karachi in the table, despite conceding three points for the first-innings lead.

Pakistan Television came within three wickets of a victory that would have taken them to second in the table, but had to settle for three points as State Bank of Pakistan held on at the Marghzar Cricket Ground in Islamabad. Pakistan Television declared after batting for 12.3 overs on the fourth day, and set SBP a target of 322. Four wickets from seamer Saad Altaf and three from his new-ball partner Mohammad Ali reduced SBP to 99 for 7 with time still left to take the final three wickets. Adnan Raees held firm for SBP, getting 40, and Rizwan Haider battled it out at the other end, as the two managed a 39-run partnership and took their team through till the end of the day.

In a tense start to the last day, the hosts needed five more runs to go past Lahore Shalimar’s first-innings score of 355, with one wicket in hand. They not only got those, but went on to reach 401. Kumar scored 126 and made sure Pervez only had to play 17 balls. Buoyed by his century, Kumar then took three wickets as Hyderabad reduced Lahore Shalimar to 130 for 5 by the end of the match.

ميدو: لاعبو المغرب تمسكوا بالعادة التي افتقدها المصريين.. والزمالك مع فيريرا "اضرب واجري"

أشاد أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب الزمالك ومنتخب مصر الأسبق، باحتفالات لاعبي منتخب المغرب عقب كل مباراة في نهائيات كأس العالم قطر 2022، مع عائلاتهم وأهاليهم.

وقال ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور”: “لاعبو المغرب ما زالوا متمسكين بالعادة التي افتقدها أغلب اللاعبين المصريين وهي الارتباط بالعائلة، أتمنى أن نتعلم ونستعيد عاداتنا مرة أخرى”.

وتطرق ميدو للحديث عن فوز الزمالك على بيراميدز: “شعار جيسفالدو فيريرا (اضرب واجري)، هذا الشكل الذي بنى عليه فريقه، لذلك فاز بالدوري والكأس الموسم الماضي”.

وتابع: “مواجهة الزمالك وبيراميدز هي مباراة الضربة القاضية، لأن الفريقين يريدان أن يضعا ضغطًا على الأهلي”.

واستكمل: “فيريرا عاد لهويته الحقيقية والتنظيم الجيد، لا يصح إلا الصحيح، فريق الزمالك تم تكوينه لكي يلعب بطريقة لـ 4-3-2-1، كان لدي تخوف كبير جدًا أن يستمر فيريرا في عناده، ويلعب بطريقة خاطئة وهي خطة 3-4-3، لأن اللاعبين غير سعداء بها”.

واستطرد: “فيريرا حل الكثير من الأزمات والمشاكل داخل فريق الزمالك، ولكن هذا ليس معناه أن فيريرا مدرب ساحر، جماهير الزمالك أدركت هذا الأمر بعد مباراة بيراميدز، رسالتي لجماهير الزمالك هو أن يتمسكوا بفيريرا”.

Torcedor 'número 4 milhões' da Arena Corinthians faz tour especial

MatériaMais Notícias

A Arena Corinthians receberá o clássico decisivo entre Timão e São Paulo nesta quarta-feira, mas no último sábado foi palco de descontração. O torcedor que comprou o ingresso número quatro milhões do estádio, Maurício Ajzenberg, foi premiado com um tour especial para ele e alguns convidados, como forma de homenagear todos os torcedores que já compareceram aos jogos do Corinthians.

Durante a manhã, ele participou do tour Casa do Povo, a visita guiada pela Arena que já recebeu mais de 50 mil torcedores em pouco mais de dez meses de funcionamento. O passeio, que tradicionalmente leva os torcedores para conhecer os detalhes do estádio, passando pelos camarotes, sala de imprensa, pré-aquecimento, vestiário e campo, ganhou ainda mais atrativos para Maurício, que pôde visitar outros espaços da Arena, acessados normalmente apenas pelos responsáveis técnicos e profissionais que atuam na casa do Corinthians.

Na sala de controle do gramado, o torcedor entendeu como funciona o sistema de resfriamento e manutenção da grama, nos túneis, todo o sistema de abastecimento, aquecimento, e reutilização de água. Nas cabines de rádio, conferiu a visão destinada aos profissionais que transmitem as partidas.

– Eu venho aqui na Arena praticamente todo jogo, e fico sempre no mesmo lugar, ali você imagina como são as coisas, mas poder entender e ver os detalhes é muito diferente. Dá pra perceber que a tecnologia é de ponta, dá muito orgulho – disse Marcelo.

WACA groundsman hopes to revive past aura

Few venues in world cricket are as evocative as the WACA. From the days of Dennis Lillee thudding the ball into Rod Marsh’s upturned gloves, to the sight of Curtly Ambrose claiming seven wickets for one run in a legendary spell in 1992-93, it is a ground

Few venues in world cricket are as evocative as the WACA. From the days of Dennis Lillee thudding the ball into Rod Marsh’s upturned gloves, to the sight of Curtly Ambrose claiming seven wickets for one run in a legendary spell in 1992-93, it is a ground that has promised riches for all bowlers who relish pace and bounce in their deliveries.Around the turn of the 2000s, however, the WACA lost its bite, as the tired old pitches gave up the ghost after years of being baked in the Western Australian heat, and the ground’s reputation took a hit as a consequence. But according to the curator, Cameron Sutherland, a return to the surfaces of old is on the cards for the coming Test, as part of an overall project to revive the venue’s aura.”We’ve totally redeveloped the wicket block,” said Sutherland. “We dug it up and started again three years ago, and have been doing it stage by stage. This is only the second first-class game on the Test wicket – we played the West Indies Test on it last year and were pretty happy. Every year as it settles and compacts, it gets harder and gets better, and we think we are on the right track.”With two days to go until the Test gets underway, the pitch is a remarkable sight, with live grass giving the surface a lush green tinge that Sutherland says is a deliberate bid to improve the battle between bat and ball, even if – to judge by the effect in recent Sheffield Shield fixtures – the actual impact of the covering is likely to be less dramatic than its appearance would suggest.”Most of the Shield wickets have been new-ball wickets,” said Sutherland. “In the first 10 overs the quicks get a bit of movement, with a bit of swing around. We are aiming for similar, and are quite happy to have a bit of grass and colour in it for the Test. It took WA a season to get over looking at the colour, because it probably doesn’t influence the way it plays. There will a bit of nibble, but it won’t go excessively either way.”In the five years since Sutherland has been the WACA’s head curator, there has been just the one drawn Test match, and that was his first match in charge, when Jacques Rudolph batted South Africa to an improbably comfortable stalemate after being set an unlikely 491 in the fourth innings. But despite some definite signs of life in State cricket, Sutherland admits that he hasn’t quite got the formula right for his five-day surfaces.”This is the last piece in the puzzle,” he said. “The comment comes every year that the Shield wickets have been pretty lively and quick but what’s happened to the Test wickets? It hasn’t been for the want of trying. Hopefully this year will be similar to what we prepare for the domestic season. We’re in a better place with the ground and the wicket development is going nicely. Hopefully in the next three or four years we will keep improving it.”Either way, Sutherland does not expect a repeat of the scenario that he faced during a second XI fixture between Western Australia and New South Wales in November, when a dramatic temperature change caused cracks of up to 4cm to appear on a good length. The match came close to being abandoned but in the end NSW were persuaded to play on so long as there were “no silly buggers” from the pitch – and so it proved as they mustered 244 in the fourth innings to lose by 234 runs.”That grass we had only put in six months ago and our root establishment was not as good as it could have been,” explained Sutherland. “Since then we have had two four-day games with temperatures of 38C all the way through, so the Test wicket has sat there and baked. We estimate we will get some cracking, but that’s a characteristic we want – the soil we use sets hard but also cracks, and that’s part of the WACA.”Given the WACA’s history we’re hoping for a result, but it’s up to the players to make the most of it,” he added. “I’ve listened to people on the radio from the Gabba and Adelaide saying ‘gee, I wish some wickets would deteriorate’. Our characteristic is cracking. How much it opens up will depend on the weather. You might bowl first, get the freshness out of the wicket early, and then the cracks might even the contest up later.”
