After setting hosts 341 target, Gilchrist’s 4-30 ensures 130-run victory

ECB Reporters' Network15-Sep-2021

Kent completed a hat-trick of LV=Insurance County Championship victories when they beat Derbyshire by 130 runs in the Division Three match at Derby.After Kent declared on 211 for 2, setting Derbyshire an unlikely 341 for victory, the home side were bowled out for 210.Nathan Gilchrist took 4 for 30 after Grant Stewart claimed the first two wickets to start another feeble Derbyshire collapse.Only an eighth-wicket stand of 70 between Anuj Dal, who was 58 not out, and Ben Aitchison, with 36, spared Derbyshire from complete humiliation.Kent batted on for nine overs in the morning, adding 64 with Jordan Cox falling for 81 attempting a big shot against Matt Critchley.Daniel Bell-Drummond dispatched Critchley for six on his way to an unbeaten 51 and the declaration set Derbyshire a target that was purely notional given their batting woes this season.A more realistic target was to bat out the day but once again, the top order crumbled and by lunch, Derbyshire were facing defeat.Harry Came was the first to go when he followed one from Stewart that moved away and Leus du Plooy bagged a pair when he was pinned in front first ball by a full delivery.Billy Godleman denied Stewart a hat-trick but after a brief recovery, two more wickets fell before the interval.Wayne Madsen played across a swinging delivery from Harry Podmore and was lbw for 13 and although he passed 6,000 first-class runs for Derbyshire, Godleman followed him to the pavilion in the next over. The Derbyshire captain miscued a pull at Nathan Gilchrist and was caught at square leg for 27 to leave his side in disarray on 67 for 4 at the interval.It was now just a question of how long Derbyshire could delay Kent but the visitors were soon back in business.Tom Wood lost his off stump as he played forward to Jas Singh and Gilchrist claimed his second wicket in the next over when Critchley edged to second slip.Gilchrist found late movement to have Brooke Guest caught behind but Dal and Aitchison finally offered some resistance along with a few muscular blows before the latter miscued to mid off.Sam Conners, batting with a runner after turning an ankle, helped Dal take the game to tea but Gilchrist sealed victory with the fifth ball of the final session.

Tottenham Hotspur’s recruitment of youth talents over the last couple of years has been exemplary, with the club shifting their focus to signing players who have the potential to be special in North London over the coming years.

Lucas Bergvall is just one example of the club’s recent transfer activity, signing from Djurgarden this summer, with the 18-year-old already featuring eight times this season for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

The Swedish youngster has already proved that he’s more than capable of being a regular first-team squad member, aiding his development and allowing him to reach the potential he possesses.

Spurs also agreed a deal for centre-back Luka Vuskovic last summer, with the club forking out £12m for his services despite being just 16.

He’s already scored four times on loan for Belgian side Westerlo this season, appearing to be a real threat in both boxes despite now being just 18 years of age.

However, the club also currently employ a superb youngster who’s made a huge impact on Postecoglou’s first team squad over the last couple of weeks.

Brennan Johnson’s stats in 2024/25

Welsh winger Brennan Johnson moved to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium last summer for a huge £47.5m from fellow Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

However, at times, it’s not been as successful as the 23-year-old would’ve envisioned, often being benched and often coming under fire for his below-par displays – as demonstrated in recent weeks.

The attacker was subject to abuse on social media, so much so that Johnson was forced to deactivate his Instagram account just to prevent any further backlash.

Undoubtedly, a select group of the fanbase took their frustration too far, but ever since the incident, the Welshman has found the form of his career – scoring in six consecutive matches for the very first time.

As a result, he’s now a key part of Postecoglou’s side – a stark contrast compared to just a couple of weeks ago.

The injury to Heung-min Son has seen a lack of goals, with the 23-year-old stepping up and taking responsibility at the top end of the pitch alongside club-record signing Dominic Solanke.

However, he could be aided in his attempts in attacking areas by the potential signing of one player who’s appeared on the club’s radar in recent days.

Spurs interested in landing talented sensation

According to journalist Graeme Bailey, Spurs are battling Aston Villa over the signature of 23-year-old attacking midfielder Pavel Sulc.

The Czech Republic ace, who currently plies his trade for Viktoria Plzen, has enjoyed an excellent 12 months, registering 28 goals since the start of last season, along with nine assists – potentially providing an added attacking threat to Postecoglou’s side.

Sulc, who’s previously been dubbed as “incredible” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, could be allowed to leave the Czech side if the right price tag is met, according to boss Miroslav Koubek, but at this point, it’s unclear what the fee could be.

The attacking midfielder’s talents could play perfectly into the hands of current Spurs ace Johnson, with his assist tally undoubtedly handing the 23-year-old an increase in opportunities within the final third.

Sulc could also be the club’s next Christian Eriksen, with Kulig claiming that the Plzen star is a similar player to the former Spurs fan-favourite, with his creativity and eye for a forward pass often catching the eye.

When delving into the 23-year-old’s stats from last season, the comparison is understandable, with Sulc averaging a tally of 0.6 progressive carries into the opposition penalty area per 90 last season, compared to Eriksen’s tally of 0.3 per 90 in the 2017/18 season – a campaign that saw the Dane register 26 goal contributions in all competitions.

Postecoglou’s side may face stiff competition for his signature in the months ahead, but Sulc’s talents would massively improve the club’s forward line, particularly if he can replicate the impact of a figure like Eriksen, who chalked up 69 goals and 88 assists in 305 games during a stellar stint in north London.

Sulc’s own goalscoring and creative quality is evident given the numbers produced over the last year, with Spurs needing to act quickly if they’re to continue their current of investing in youth prospects.

Enquanto a torcida do Corinthians aguarda ansiosamente pelo sonhado centroavante de peso, a diretoria do clube trabalha sob o mantra de paciência e responsabilidade no mercado, mesmo há poucos dias para a estreia no Paulistão, terça-feira (25), diante da Ferroviária.

> GALERIA: Timão ativo no mercado para “se livrar” de atletas fora dos planos

Com as chances de Diego Costa defender as cores do Timão descartadas, o presidente do clube, Duílio Monteiro Alves, foi categórico em entrevista ao “ge”, afirmando que ainda busca um atacante de peso.

-Tenho parceiro para ajudar no Diego, mas que pode ajudar em outro atleta. Mesmo tendo patrocinador pagando, não tem porque não ter responsabilidade. O Corinthians segue no mercado, estudando, sem pressa, da mesma forma que fizemos no ano passado. Não tem problema. Estou aqui representando um clube gigante, sei que querem um camisa 9 de alto nível. Vamos trazer, buscamos um jogador de peso, mas é preciso ter paciência. É na hora certa de fazer, que se encaixe no planejamento. Mas que seja dentro do que entendemos ser um bom negócio – disse o mandatário.

Na última semana, Duílio admitiu sondagens e formas de tornar o negócio por Cavani realidade. Na mesma coletiva, ele disse serimprovável que o atacante venha para o Brasil. O tom pessimista do mandatário não mudou, principalmente para não iludir a torcida, mas ele ainda não descartou o negócio pelo uruguaio.

– Não dá para prever nada. Ele pode continuar por mais dois anos ou três (na Inglaterra). Ele pode sair de lá agora. Qualquer coisa que eu falar pode gerar uma expectativa e frustrar a torcida lá na frente. Eu tenho que buscar o que tem de melhor no mundo. Posso não conseguir, mas vou tentar. Minha obrigação é de ir atrás do que tem de melhor – afirmou.

Buscando nomes consolidados e “cascudos” para a posição, o Corinthians adotou um modus operandi no mercado para não se complicar financeiramente: o clube não tem ido atrás de jogador no mercado, tem aguardado liberações contratuais, como aconteceu com Paulinho.

No caso do novo camisa 15, o Grupo Taunsa está ajudando em boa parte dos vencimentos do meia, e o Timão busca estreitar os laços da parceriacom a empresa de agronegócios para viabilizar a chegada de um centroavante.

-As marcas querem um nome de impacto, para ter retorno de marketing. Por isso esse perfil de compra não se encaixa. Tem que ser um jogador com muita mídia, para o patrocinador pagar o salário, que é o que estamos conversando. Jogador mais jovem, sem essa marca, precisaria se encaixar dentro da nossa folha. Existe a possibilidade, pode ser que faça a contratação sem direito econômico, e isso o Corinthians faria sozinho, mas com um valor de salário encaixando dentro da folha para não sair do orçamento – concluiu Duílio ao “ge”.

Na visão de Duílio, para o parceiro ajudar na negociação, o jogador deve possuir um grande atrativo no quesito de marketing, e essa foi uma das barreiras na qual o clube esbarrou quando demonstrou interesse por Arthur Cabral, do Basel, da Suíça.

Former Netherlands batter and long-time mentor Michael Swart passed on some advice about batting in the UAE

Alex Malcolm13-Oct-2021Josh Inglis is on a journey into uncharted territory. He has never played for Australia. He has never even toured with Australia. He has never played cricket in the UAE, and the extent of his experience on the subcontinent is a couple of short tours to India with Australia’s National Performance squad, for emerging players, a few years ago.Inglis hasn’t even had the chance to mingle with his fellow Australian players and coaches yet, to glean some insights on what is to come, having been confined to his hotel room for six days quarantine after flying to Abu Dhabi from Perth.But Inglis does have one man in his corner who has already ensured he is not flying completely blind.Former Netherlands and Western Australia batter Michael Swart was a key mentor in Inglis’ youth when he was making his name in Perth grade cricket for Joondalup.Swart played in the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, opening the batting in the famous humiliation of England, and played 9 of his 26 T20 internationals in the UAE.Inglis received a call from his former Joondalup captain last week and received some valuable intel.”Obviously, he’s played plenty of cricket for the Netherlands and played in these conditions so he did explain a fair bit about Abu Dhabi and Dubai’s wickets and what they were like,” Inglis said. “So it’s nice to have him as a bit of a sounding board, and a mentor as well so it’s been great.”Swart told ESPNcricinfo that he simply relayed his specific experiences on Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and Dubai Stadium.”As you saw in the IPL recently, the game slows down a lot after the powerplay,” Swart said. “I just let him know that the first six overs are the time to really cash in but after that the wicket slows up a lot and it’s very hard to come down the wicket to the spinners and that his sweep shots are so important to get off strike and manipulate the field. It’s easy to get stuck down one end there and the sweep shot is so vital to get off strike.”Michael Swart played 26 T20Is for the Netherlands•Getty Images

Swart, 13 years Inglis’ senior, had a big impact on the 26-year-old at Joondalup. Inglis had a prolific summer as a 21-year-old under Swart’s captaincy, scoring 1137 first grade runs and four centuries including 246 in the final to secure Joondalup the title. That led to him earning a contract with Justin Langer’s Western Australia squad.Although Inglis has barely batted in the middle order in his T20 career – just 13 of his 57 professional innings have been batting at No.4 or below – he was added to the Australia World Cup squad due to his proficiency against spin in the middle overs having caught the attention of Ricky Ponting among others during last season’s BBL.Despite his limited exposure at the professional level, he batted a lot in the middle order for Joondalup in white-ball cricket, forming a formidable partnership with Swart when batting with five men outside the circle. It was an experience Inglis believes was incredibly valuable.”I just remember times where we were playing grade cricket together and there was situations where we just really needed to soak up some pressure and he was just really smart and thought through situations really clearly and it was nice to be able to have that at the other end as a young kid, starting out,” Inglis said. “He was brilliant for my game in that sort of sense. Not so much technique-wise but more just thinking through situations and mindset and that sort of thing.”Inglis appears unlikely to start in the World Cup as Matthew Wade is Australia’s first-choice wicketkeeper. Wade is preparing himself to bat in the middle order and the Australian selectors see him as essential because of a lack of left-handers in the top seven.But it is possible Inglis could play as a specialist bat in the side, or if Australia run aground early in the tournament against spin in the middle overs. Swart believes he has what it takes to dominate at international level.”I think the most important thing is he backs himself and his game,” Swart said. “He is one of the hardest workers going around and because of the work he has done he has amazing confidence in his ability. He’s always been one to go towards tough situations rather than shy away. He’s someone with 100 per cent confidence and zero per cent arrogance.”I think he has a big future in international cricket. His greatest asset is that he hits the ball 360 degrees and has a great sweep and reverse sweep game. I think that’s going to help him get out of pressure situations after the powerplay.”All in all, he’s the ultimate professional and someone you want to play alongside. Last week he was down at club cricket throwing balls to kids. That’s the kind of bloke he is really. I can’t wait for him to show the world stage what we have known for years. He’s a gun.”

There have not been too many positives from Erik ten Hag’s reign as Manchester United boss but let us not be too negative for the Red Devils are winners again.

It was two of their young superstars who stepped up to the mark as Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund both found the net in the 2-1 victory over Brentford last Saturday.

Truth be told, it’s those up-and-coming players who have been the real standout of Ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford.

To his credit, the Dutchman has engineered the progression of Garnacho, in particular, who has shone for the Red Devils over the last year or so.

Kobibe Mainoo – now injured – has also been a real asset in the middle of the park. He was first given a run of games just before the New Year period last season and was so impressive that he later went on to start at the European Championships for England.

So, who are the next big things off the Carrington production line? Well, they’ve got two fine young players who could emulate stars of the past, chiefly Wayne Rooney.

Wayne Rooney's time at Man United

“Remember the name, Wayne Rooney!” Yeah, we’ve all heard the commentary, haven’t we?

That remarkable goal from the striker against Arsenal in Everton colours got everyone in English football talking, notably Sir Alex Ferguson.

Just a few months later he was heading to Manchester United as a teenager, moving for a sizeable £27m transfer fee. The rest, as they say, is history.

As a young striker, there have been very few better in English football history. He burst onto the scene with some aplomb, lighting up Euro 2004 before going on to score 53 times in 120 caps for the Three Lions.

For Man United, he was truly spectacular, netting 253 goals and winning five Premier League titles on the way to cementing himself as a legend of the game.

It was a time in the club’s history when icons dominated the Old Trafford landscape. Think Cristiano Ronaldo, think Ryan Giggs, think Paul Scholes and think of Gary Neville. How United would love those players in their primes at their disposal now.

Well, it just so happens that at Carrington, United have two players ready to follow in the footsteps of Rooney and Co.

Expand Collapse Man Utd's two best wonderkids at Carrington

Enter the conversation, Chido Obi-Martin. Like Rooney, the young Dane has joined Man United as a teenager. Like Rooney, he’s deadly in front of goal. The only thing he lacks at the same age is experience.

16-year-old Obi Martin officially arrived from Arsenal a few weeks ago but he did not make a senior appearance for the Gunners. That said, he certainly made a lot of noise with his goalscoring exploits.

For Arsenal U18s last season, the teenager scored a breathtaking haul of 32 goals in 18 games. The Premier League 2 hasn’t seen many strikers like this, it’s safe to say.

During the back end of the campaign, he was in electric form. During a run of nine games from 16th March to 11th May, he scored 28 goals. Yes, that’s right, 28 goals in nine games.

That included four goals in one game against Fulham, four goals in one match against Crystal Palace and a staggering seven goals in one outing against Norwich. Already at such a young age, Obi-Martin is an elite goalscorer and one who could be ready to make an entrance just as Rooney did.

However, Carrington may also possess a Giggs-like talent in another exciting wonderkid; Shea Lacey.

He’s not had the best of time with injuries of late but he’s certainly causing a stir behind the scenes. Why? Well, like Giggs – he possesses a “left foot made of gold” – as scout Jacek Kulig referred to.

Secondly, there have already been comparisons to Lionel Messi and Phil Foden. The first point of comparison might be a tad extreme but the second certainly isn’t.

Lacey is a natural winger but he’s capable of playing off either side. He’s slight in frame, has lovely close control and regularly finds himself in goalscoring positions.

Due to injury, he played just ten official games at youth level but across those fixtures, he scored twice and registered four assists. Not quite the mindblowing numbers that Obi-Martin has registered but consistent nonetheless.

Even if Ten Hag doesn’t get to utilise these two special young talents, whoever the next manager is could have two of the Premier League’s finest on his hands.

It has been a poor campaign for United so far, but Wednesday night’s 5-2 demolition of the Foxes put some smiles back on the fans’ faces. It was their first game since the sacking of Ten Hag, and it was van Nistelrooy’s first match as interim head coach.

Speaking after the game, van Nistelrooy spoke about the feeling of leading United out as interim manager. He said: “To go back to yesterday, of course, receiving the players and getting together for the first day after Erik [ten Hag] had to leave was a sad day to share. Mixed emotions.

“He was the one that asked me to work back here again, and in the first conversation we had, I felt such a passion and care for this football club. That is why I was so sad to see him go.

“Having said that, football and life continues, and we knew that 75,000 people would be waiting for us here today, with millions more watching at home behind their screens and radios, and you have to switch then as players. We tried to switch that button for the players; try to get the mindset going and go out tonight and give everything for the fans.”

The Red Devils have made Ruben Amorim their first choice to replace Ten Hag, and an announcement on his appointment is now expected on Thursday, with United paying his release clause and an extra fee so he can leave Sporting before his notice period.

The 39-year-old is expected to take charge of the club in the November international break. Wednesday was a good night for United, with a few players standing out for their performance, and one player really impressed one of his teammates.

Man Utd star says teammate is "unbelievable"

Dalot labelled teammate Casemiro as “unbelievable” following their 5-2 win over Leicester in the Carabao Cup last night. It was a rare stress-free night of football for United and the fans, as a double from Casemiro as well as goals from Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes put them in full control all before half-time.

Casemiro was one of the standout performers for the Red Devils after struggling massively towards the end of Ten Hag’s reign, putting in such poor displays that he was told by Jamie Carragher to “leave the football before the football leaves you”.

However, the 32-year-old remained at Old Trafford, and his teammate Dalot labelled him as “unbelievable” following his Carabao Cup performance last night. Dalot said after the game: “Unbelievable goal. He has that in him, those abilities. And it shows how much he was confident to [shoot] that far from the goal. So I am glad he did.

Half-century from Gayle not enough as Udana holds his nerve

Aadam Patel26-Nov-2021

It may have taken a week but finally, after five wins out of five, the winning streak of Team Abu Dhabi came to an end courtesy of the Bangla Tigers.That was despite a thrilling knock from none other than Chris Gayle, who – with an unbeaten 52 off 23 – threatened to pull off another remarkable chase for the Abu Dhabi outfit. But he ran out of partners as the Tigers continued their winning run to move to within two points of Team Abu Dhabi.With 18 needed off four and Gayle on strike, no one would have counted out Team Abu Dhabi. Not least after Gayle and Jamie Overton – with two sixes off the last two deliveries – plundered 18 off the final over from Dwayne Bravo on Wednesday evening to seal a stunning victory. This time however, there was no Overton to pull off some last-over heroics and instead Isuru Udana held his nerve to take the Tigers to a fourth consecutive win.Buoyed by a capacity crowd and after losing the toss, the Tigers’ batting order took on the attack from ball one as Johnson Charles dispatched a short delivery from Ahmed Daniyal for four, but he was gone the next ball hitting one straight to Marchant de Lange at long-off.Will Jacks, in fine form, began with two unconvincing scoops to the boundary, before remarakbly getting dropped twice by Muhammad Farooq off the bowling of de Lange in the same over. But there was nothing unconvincing about the way he dispatched Liam Livingstone for consecutive sixes in the next over.Many a batter has struggled with the England international throughout the recent T20 World Cup and at the Abu Dhabi T10, yet Jacks showed what he was all about, first slogging Livingstone over cow-corner and then dancing down the track to loft one back over the bowler’s head.Jacks ended with a blistering 43 off 17, and accompanied by Hazratullah Zazai with 41 off 20, set up the Tigers, before a late flourish from skipper Faf du Plessis with 22 off eight, enabled them to put up 130 for 5 off their ten overs.Team Abu Dhabi opened without the in-form Phil Salt who, coming off the back of two player-of-the match performances, injured himself after taking a hit to the knee in the field. And when James Faulkner removed Paul Stirling and Colin Ingram in successive deliveries, the Tigers were well and truly in the driving seat.Livingstone may have taken a beating with the ball in hand, but he ensured he would have his say with the bat. Luke Wood was smashed for three sixes in a row. The last one the pick of the bunch – majestically lofting a fuller delivery off long-off. Yet, with the following delivery, Wood took a little pace off and deceived the Team Abu Dhabi skipper. Livingstone swung and missed and saw his stumps go flying. Wood, was ecstatic, roaring past Livingstone in a mix of relief and jubilation.Despite losing regular wickets, the league leaders kept themselves in the chase with lusty blows from Gayle and a fighting Salt, who courageously came in at No. 6. Benny Howell was fantastic, bowling two overs for just 13 and dismissing Chris Benjamin and Salt. The latter bowled after looking to scoop.With 37 required from two overs and the self-proclaimed “Universe Boss” still at the crease, anything was possible. Mohammad Amir was clubbed for 18 off the penultimate over as Gayle effortlessly used his pace to send the ball to the boundary and the crowd were treated to yet another last-over finish with Team Abu Dhabi.Crucially, the 42-year-old was not on strike for the beginning of the last over and perhaps the two balls he didn’t get to face off Udana saved the Tigers. Gayle had earlier hit three boundaries in the Sri Lankan’s first over. This time, he could only manage one more maximum, which brought up a quite brilliant half-century in 22 deliveries, but it was ultimately not enough.For Tigers skipper Du Plessis, it was the first time he had reached double figures in the tournament and crucially, his two sixes in the last over proved to be the difference between winning and losing. “It’s a big step in the right direction for us, especially after losing the toss,” he said.Eight years ago to the day, he played one of the great match-saving Test knocks with 110* off 466 deliveries against Australia, at a strike rate of under 30. This time, du Plessis ended unbeaten with a strike rate of 275. If the Tigers are going to use this momentum to the Abu Dhabi T10 title, then they will need one of the most versatile multi-format cricketers of this generation to showcase more of his class with the bat.
