ScorecardJim Allenby scored a rapid century to set up Glamorgan’s chase•Getty ImagesA captain’s innings of 105 from 63 balls by Jim Allenby propelled Glamorgan to an impressive six-wicket win against Middlesex at Richmond that keeps up their hopes of quarter-final qualification from the NatWest T20 Blast’s South Division.Allenby hit three sixes and 14 fours and was joined by his opening partner Jacques Rudolph in a record Twenty20 stand for Glamorgan of 136 after Middlesex had totalled 184 for 3, in which Dawid Malan carried his bat for 68 not out and Dan Christian thumped five sixes in a 29-ball 48.Rudolph, the former South Africa Test batsman, contributed 42 from 35 balls to a partnership which beat Glamorgan’s previous T20 record – for both the first wicket and all wickets – of 129 between Matthew Elliott and Robert Croft against Gloucestershire at Bristol in 2005.Eoin Morgan also hit a 28-ball 41 for Middlesex, but with the ground’s short boundaries their total was never going to be enough once Allenby and Rudolph got going to provide a 2,000 crowd with even more entertainment.In the end, despite Allenby’s eventual dismissal by James Harris in a 19th over in which Ben Wright also pulled his first ball straight to deep midwicket, Glamorgan – who needed just six runs from the last over – completed their fourth T20 Blast victory of the season with three balls to spare to go into fourth place in the southern group.Allenby kicked off Glamorgan’s excellently controlled chase by whipping Harris for six over midwicket, and then taking four fours from fellow seamer Harry Podmore in the fifth over. Rudolph twice reverse-swept Ravi Patel for four in an eighth over costing 14, while Allenby clubbed further sixes off both Neil Dexter and Christian before reaching his hundred – only Glamorgan’s second in Twenty20 – with a lovely extra cover four off Harris from the first ball ofthe 19th over.By then he had lost Rudolph, caught reverse-sweeping Dexter, and Mark Wallace, caught in the deep off Podmore after hitting a few valuable fours off the suffering Harris in a quickfire 18. Glamorgan had needed only 49 from six overs when Rudolph was out, such was the perfect pacing of the chase by the two openers.Middlesex began slowly, with just 10 runs from the first three overs, in which Joe Denly was quite brilliantly caught on the long-off boundary by a diving Stewart Walters for 5, before Morgan ignited the innings. Morgan pulled Michael Hogan for six in the fifth over, the ball sounding like a rifle crack off his bat, and he also launched Will Owen’s fast-medium over long-on for another maximum in a ninth over which cost 17 runs.The scoring rate dipped again when Morgan fell, smartly held low to his left at cover by Hogan off left-arm spinner Dean Cosker, but after the 100 arrived in the 14th over the accelerator was pressed by Christian, who drove Cosker for three sixes in a 15th over that brought 22 runs. Malan, in the same over, was dropped at deep midwicket by Chris Cooke, when the fielder clearly lost the ball in the low sun setting over Old Deer Park.After Malan had completed a 38-ball 50,Christian chose the 17th over to plunder two more sixes and a four off Hogan before Cooke atoned for his earlier miss by pulling off a superb low catch as he dived to his left on the cover boundary to end the Australian’s brutal innings.There were two more sixes before Middlesex were finished, one each for Malan and Ryan Higgins hit straight off Owen in a 19th over that went for 17 runs. In the end, though, on a beautiful summer’s evening, it proved not to be enough.

Anunciado e apresentado na última quinta-feira no Santos, o atacante Uribe foi regularizado no BID (Boletim Informativo Diário) nesta sexta-feira. Sendo assim, pode enfrentar o Ceará, neste domingo, às 16h, no Castelão, pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

O colombiano pode formar dupla de ataque com Rodrygo. Eduardo Sasha era o jogador improvisado de centroavante. Soteldo cumpre suspensão automática e não viaja para o Ceará.

Uribe foi o 10º reforço do Santos no ano. Ele foi contratado após pedido do técnico Jorge Sampaoli, que pedia um centroavante desde janeiro, quando Gabigol se transferiu para o Flamengo.

O Santos encerra sua preparação na manhã deste sábado, no CT Rei Pelé, antes de viajar a Fortaleza. O Peixe é o quinto colocado, com 11 pontos.

Sri Lanka seek boost ahead of Tests

Sri Lanka will hope their batsmen fire in the final ODI to not only get the consolation victory, but also some much-needed confidence ahead of the Test series which begins on December 31

The Preview by Andrew Fidel Fernando26-Dec-2013Match factsFriday, December 27, 2013
Start time 1500 local (1100 GMT)Dinesh Chandimal has not scored a ODI fifty since January•AFPBig PictureA series that at one stage seemed competitive has all of a sudden begun to feel like a one-sided one. Pakistan have been terrific with the bat all series before reclaiming their prowess with the ball, while Sri Lanka have allowed all areas of their game to slip. An eight-wicket drubbing to follow a 113-run loss does not bode well for the visitors in the final match.On Christmas Day, Sri Lanka were ailed by largely the same issues that have troubled them in the previous matches. The attack lacked confidence and penetration as Lasith Malinga went wicketless for the second time in the series and Nuwan Kulasekara was uncharacteristically wayward. Rangana Herath’s poise and experience has also been greatly missed, as has his indomitable spirit that has seen him script limited-overs comebacks before. Herath’s replacement, Ajantha Mendis, is yet to get a game.The batting has threatened in patches, but unlike Pakistan who have found a centurion in each match and made century stands a defining feature of their innings, Sri Lanka have not managed even one triple-figure partnership. The visitors’ only win was a result of several modest contributions stacked together, but ODI history suggests piecemeal efforts only rarely result in victories. Sri Lanka need a top-order man to anchor each innings, as Mohammad Hafeez has done so prolifically for Pakistan.Strangely for Pakistan, they have played safe, intelligent, formulaic cricket with the bat that Sri Lanka have not been able to challenge. Their attack has retained the flair that is the source of its menace. Saeed Ajmal claimed his best haul in the series in the last match, while both Umar Gul and Junaid Khan continue to bowl effective spells. If Pakistan can complete a 4-1 rout in Abu Dhabi, they will arrive in the Tests on a cloud of confidence, and will also have deflated the Sri Lanka batsmen who cross over into the longest format.Form guide (last five completed matches, most recent first)

Pakistan: WWLWL


Sri Lanka: LLWLW
In the spotlightSri Lanka do not have a Dale Steyn in their ranks, but even so, Mohammad Hafeez’s turnaround in ODI form has been staggering. Having not passed 35 in his last eight ODI innings, Hafeez now averages 203.50 in the series, with 147 more runs than the second-highest scorer. Hafeez seems at peace with his rhythm at the crease, and has rarely been tested by the Sri Lanka bowlers. Given his significant contributions with the ball and in the field, he is a certainty for the Man-of-the-Series award, regardless of what happens in the final match.Ashan Priyanjan has waited on the boundary in two series before finally making his international debut, but when he did, he made it count. Exceptional square of the wicket and off the back foot, first-match nerves did not seem to affect him as he progressed to Sri Lanka’s highest score of the series – 74. If he can replicate his success in the last match, he will put significant pressure on Dinesh Chandimal, who has not hit a limited-overs half-century since January, despite playing in almost every match since then. The selectors have expressed confidence in Chandimal’s talent, but if they have a superior alternative of the same age, they will not be able to justify Chandimal’s inclusion for long.Team newsShahid Afridi has flown back to Pakistan early due to personal reasons, but in any case, Pakistan may be tempted to trial young players in the dead rubber. Seam bowler Anwar Ali has been sitting on the sidelines for the whole series, as has left-handed batsman Haris Sohail. They may get a game tomorrow if Pakistan choose to rest key Test players, with the Test series starting on Tuesday.Pakistan (probable): 1 Ahmed Shehzad, 2 Sharjeel Khan, 3 Mohammad Hafeez, 4 Sohaib Maqsood, 5 Misbah ul Haq (capt), 6 Umar Akmal (wk), 7 Anwar Ali, 8 Bilawal Bhatti, 9 Umar Gul, 10. Saeed Ajmal, 11. Junaid KhanSri Lanka will almost certainly retain Priyanjan, and perhaps Kithuruwan Vithanage as well. If the surface looks like it will be receptive to turn, legspinning allrounder Seekkuge Prasanna could return in place of either Suranga Lakmal or Kulasekara.Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Kusal Perera, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (wk), 4. Ashan Priyanjan, 5. Dinesh Chandimal, 6. Angelo Mathews (capt), 7. Kithuruwan Vithanage, 8. Seekkuge Prasanna/ Suranga Lakmal 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10. Sachithra Senanayake, 11. Lasith MalingaStats and trivia In addition to Hafeez’ monumental series average, Misbah-ul-Haq, Sohaib Maqsood and Ahmed Shehzad all have averages exceeding 50. Sri Lanka’s best average for a batsman who has played more than one innings is 40 – to Angelo Mathews. Junaid has taken ten wickets in the series, Ajmal seven and Gul six. The most penetrative Sri Lankan bowlers have been Suranga Lakmal and Thisara Perera with three apiece.Quotes”I think Gul set the tone right from the start, getting wickets with the new ball, and everyone else is really bowling and batting well. A series win gives us more confidence and delight.”

“We didn’t do very well in all departments. They played good cricket and were far better than us, so they deserved to win.”

تشويه السمعة ووعود كاذبة.. أسباب انقلاب مبابي على باريس سان جيرمان ورفض تمديد عقده

كشفت إذاعة “مونت كارلو” الفرنسية عن أسباب انقلاب قائد الديوك، كيليان مبابي، على إدارة باريس سان جيرمان في الساعات القليلة الماضية وإبلاغهم بعدم تمديد عقده.

ويتضمن عقد مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان بند لتفعيل موسم آخر بعد نهاية الموسم المقبل ليستمر حتى يونيو 2025 ولكن بموافقة الطرفين.

وقرر مبابي عدم تفعيل هذا البند، مما وضع باريس سان جيرمان في موقف حرج لأن ذلك يعني أنه سيرحل بالمجان في 30 يونيو 2024، وبالتالي، بدأ النادي الفرنسي بالتفكير في رحيله الآن للاستفادة المادية مع وجود اهتمام من ريال مدريد الذي لا يفضل النادي الفرنسي بيع اللاعب له بأي مبلغ مالي.

وأفاد التقرير أن مبابي يشعر بأن إدارة باريس سان جيرمان لم تفي بوعودها معه والتي مدد بسببها عقده قبل نهاية الموسم قبل الماضي.

بات مبابي يشكك في قدرة باريس سان جيرمان في إعادة بناء الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالطريقة الصحيحة من أجل المنافسة على الألقاب خاصة لقب دوري أبطال أوروبا.

أما السبب الثاني وهو ما كشفت عنه شركة “Media Part” وهو أن إدارة باريس سان جيرمان قد استأجرت جيشًا إلكترونيًا لتشويه سمعة بعض لاعبيه على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي بما فيهم مبابي.

وعبر مبابي عن غضبه الشديد بعد هذه التقارير وقال بعد مباراة أمام أولمبيك مارسيليا في الدوري الفرنسي قبل كأس العالم قطر 2022: “لم أطلب الرحيل في يناير، لكنني لم أفهم جيدًا المعلومات التي نشرت في يوم مباراة بنفيكا (في دوري أبطال أوروبا)، لقد صُدمت مثل الجميع، هناك بعض الأشخاص الذين اعتقدوا أنني مشارك في هذا الفعل، لكن لم يحدث وشعرت بالدهشة مما يحدث”.

بعد هذه التصريحات، قامت الصحافة الفرنسية بتسريب تفاصيل راتب مبابي مع باريس سان جيرمان من خلاص صحيفة “لو باريزيان” التي أكدت أن عقد مبابي يتضمن راتبًا بإجمالي قدره 72 مليون يورو سنويًا، أو 6 ملايين شهريًا بالإضافة إلى مكافآت أكبر بثلاث مرات مما حصل عليه في الموسم قبل الماضي مع مكافأة توقيع على العقد الجديد بقيمة 180 مليون يورو تدفع على ثلاث أقساط وهو ما أغضب اللاعب من الإدارة.

Tamim ends century drought

Tamim Iqbal, the Bangladesh batsman, has said the biggest inspiration for his century was his Test opening partner, Jahurul Islam

Tamim Iqbal: “The biggest inspiration for this hundred was Jahurul Islam”•Associated Press

Tamim Iqbal had a long talk with Jahurul Islam on the eve of the first ODI against Sri Lanka. In the discussion between one batsman who hasn’t scored an international hundred for nearly two years and another who is known to possess a perceptive mind, the dominant topic had to be the hundred that wasn’t coming for Tamim.When it finally came in the form of 112 runs that gave Bangladesh a genuine chance to win the first ODI, Tamim was quick to thank his opening partner from the Colombo Test and someone he has known for a long time.”The biggest inspiration for this hundred was Jahurul Islam,” Tamim told ESPNcricinfo. “We stayed up till 11.30 last night and discussed some important points. It really worked for me.”I was talking to myself every ball after reaching 50. I wanted to keep my process in shape but then after I had hit a boundary, a current passed through my body. I gave a catch but it got dropped. Riyad told me to go to the 70s and then think clearly. Nasir helped out too.”Jahurul’s advice wasn’t just from outside the field. When he would walk in with the drinks as one of the substitutes, there were more words of encouragement for Tamim. “He reminded me of what he had talked about last night. He told me to that if I try to bat for 40 overs, I can score a hundred. So I would like to thank him. Jahurul is a big part of this century.”He also said that if a batsman makes 30, he starts thinking of a 50. So when you will reach 70 or 80, you will automatically start thinking of a 100. There was a gap for a long time, but I hope it won’t be a longer gap next time.”Tamim hadn’t scored an international hundred since June 2010, and no ODI hundreds since February 2010. In the meantime, he had scored 18 fifties in all formats, and eleven in ODIs and his batting average during the hundred-less period has actually been better than his career averages.His first three hundreds came in 74 games, but the fourth one has taken him another 45. He has often batted at a high strike-rate, but hasn’t played the long innings often enough. There was no serious criticism of his inability to convert half-centuries into hundreds but it was a concern for him and he had mentioned it a few times over the past year.He took his time on Saturday, moving from 80 to 100 in 41 deliveries and moved from nine to ten boundaries in 45 balls. Before and after however, he was at his best. He brought out some excellent shots, and though he survived an easy drop by Angelo Mathews on 54, he didn’t want to look back or give it away again.”I got a hundred after two and a half years. Someone asked me if I have the passion to be one of the best players in the world. That stuck on my mind and I continued to think about it.”I was sharing with [Jahurul Islam] Omi last night the wrong things I have been doing or what I should do. I was a bit lucky today, I got a life on 54. I think I batted brilliantly after that.”On the day that he ended his century drought, Tamim suffered a hairline fracture while fielding which will sideline him for the next four-six weeks.

Vernon Philander, the South Africa seamer, has recovered from the hamstring injury that had ruled him out of the second Test against New Zealand, and is part of the squad for the first Test against Pakistan in Johannesburg starting on February 1. The only player from the squad for the Tests against New Zealand who doesn’t find a mention for the first Test against Pakistan is seamer Ryan McLaren.”We have given a full vote of confidence to the squad of 13 that did duty in the recent Sunfoil Series against New Zealand,” Andrew Hudson, Cricket South Africa’s selection convenor, said. “Rory Kleinveldt and Jacques Rudolph will again provide the bowling and batting cover if necessary. At the moment there are no injury concerns.”We are very happy with the job that Rory did against New Zealand when Vernon dropped out, while Jacques provides us with a lot of experience as the cover batsman. We have quite a few inexperienced batsmen in our top order and we feel that a bit of extra experience will be useful should the need arise.”South Africa beat New Zealand comprehensively, winning both Tests, and play Pakistan in three Test matches, in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Centurion.South Africa squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis, Dean Elgar, Jacques Kallis, Rory Kleinveldt, Morne Morkel, Alviro Petersen, Robin Peterson, Vernon Philander, Jacques Rudolph, Dale Steyn.

Di Venuto retires from county cricket

Michael Di Venuto, the Durham batsman, has retired from county cricket with immediate effect after six years with the club.Di Venuto, 37, scored 6488 first-class runs for Durham since joining in 2007 including a tally of 1654 in 2009 when the county won the second of their back-to-back Championship titles. However, this season he had averaged 29.10 from five matches and decided he could no longer reach the levels required for the first-class game.”My body won’t allow me to prepare and play the way I want,” he said. “I set high standards for myself and if I was to continue playing then it would be below these standards. While I know I still have some quality short form cricket in me, the day in day out nature of first-class cricket I physically can’t do anymore.”My time at Durham has been incredible. To play with a great bunch of blokes in some history making teams is something that I will cherish and look back on fondly. My family and I have loved our time in the North East and have some wonderful memories to take home with us. I’d like to thank everyone involved with the club for making our time here so enjoyable. We will miss Durham CCC.”Geoff Cook, the head coach said: “Michael has been a prolific run scorer for the club during his time here and is a much respected player, who will be greatly missed. He has proved to be a real inspiration on the field and the knowledge and guidance he has shared with our squad, especially the batsmen, has encouraged growth within the side.”Michael should be incredibly proud of his time here at Durham and we wish him all the very best with his future endeavours.”Prior to his lengthy stay at Durham, Di Venuto, who appeared in nine one-day internationals for Australia, also played for Derbyshire and Sussex
