Chappell: Taskin, Sunny ban unfair to Bangladesh

Bangladesh left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny and pacer Taskin Ahmed have been suspended from bowling in international cricket with immediate effect after an independent assessment found their bowling actions to be illegal. Both bowlers underwent assessments in Chennai last week, after being reported for suspect actions during the World T20 round-one match against Netherlands.The pair returned to the side to play in Bangladesh’s first match of the Super 10 stage, against Pakistan at the Eden Gardens, where Sunny took 2 for 34 and Taskin claimed 2 for 32. They can apply for a re-assessment at any stage after modifying their bowling actions. They may be allowed to play in the domestic league, pending the BCB’s permission.ESPNcricinfo has learned left-arm spinner Saqlain Sajib will replace Sunny in Bangladesh’s World T20 squad, while Taskin will be replaced by offspin-bowling allrounder Shuvagata Hom.These two are not the first Bangladesh bowlers to be suspended for an illegal action. Offspinner Sohag Gazi was suspended from bowling in October 2014, and he was cleared after a second test in February 2015. Left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak was the first Bangladesh bowler to be suspended, in November 2008, before the ban was lifted in March 2009. Al-Amin Hossain was also reported for a suspect action in 2014, but was cleared after an assessment in Chennai.

Lancashire closed in on victory after declaring their second innings 495 runs ahead and then removing seven Hampshire batsmen before the close

In one respect, at least, “outground” is a misnomer. Although venues away from a county’s headquarters do, indeed, entail a journey from a now familiar stadium or ground, they are also a return to the club environment in which almost all players learn the game and to which very many will return when their first-class days are done. Perhaps that is why so many county cricketers show obvious pleasure at the prospect of outground cricket and excel when they play it.Certainly Lancashire’s players enjoyed themselves in Southport’s familiar surroundings over the first three days of this match. And why should they have not done so? Most of them will have played club or 2nd XI matches here and over half the side regularly play ECB Premier League cricket here. Such familiarity really does give a team home advantage.For example, on the third day of a match which Lancashire have bossed in the accustomed manner of league leaders, Paul Horton (Sefton Park and Northern) made a polished 111 off 154 balls and shared an opening stand of 166 with Luis Reece (Leyland) whose own innings of 65 was his sixth successive Division Two half-century in what has become a breakthrough season for him.Later acceleration was provided by Ashwell Prince and by Andrea Agathangelou (Highfield), the latter batsman hitting braces of fours and sixes in a rapid 28. Such enterprise allowed Lancashire to make 284 for 5 declared in 56 overs and set Hampshire 496 to win, a target which soon proved almost a statistical irrelevance as the visitors limped to 137 for 7 at close of play. Despite the presence of Matt Coles at the wicket, surely all that remains on the fourth morning of this game is for Lancashire to complete their utterly deserved victory.Yet if it is right to praise Lancashire’s dynamic batting in the first half of the third day of this game, it is also proper to laud the efforts of 16-year-old off-spinner Brad Taylor who was making his first-class debut far from home and the Southern Premier League in which he represents Hampshire’s Academy. Sticking to his most difficult task with the grit of a seasoned cricketer – you try containing Prince when he has a licence to thrill – Taylor took his first four Championship wickets at a cost of 64 runs in 14 overs. The fact that some of these were the product of the pragmatic exchange of runs for wickets which characterise pre-declaration play does not diminish Taylor’s achievement on Friday. He turned the ball and looked a more than decent prospect.However, the efforts of the Lancashire seam attack on a pitch which rewarded accuracy with the new ball threw the display of their Hampshire counterparts into sharp relief. Glen Chapple had an out of form Jimmy Adams caught at second slip by Agathangelou for 4 but then had to leave the field with an Achilles injury which is still being fully assessed. His team-mates barely noticed his absence as Hampshire’s batsmen subsided in the manner of cricketers who know that the four-day format holds no glory for them this summer.Tom Smith (Chorley and occasionally Formby) accounted for Liam Dawson while Kyle Hogg had Michael Roberts lbw before removing James Vince’s off stump when the first innings centurion had made 20. That wicket was Hogg’s 56th of the season and he is now the most successful bowler in the County Championship.Simon Kerrigan (Ormskirk) maintained the form he had begun to discover in the first innings by claiming the wickets of Sean Ervine, who carelessly thrashed him to Luke Procter, the one fielder on the leg side boundary, and also Neil McKenzie, whose 44 was the most significant innings played by a Hampshire batsman on a day many of his colleagues may wish to forget.Chris Wood’s run out raised hopes that the game may be concluded in three days but Coles and Adam Wheater survived until stumps. Barring weather intervention, they have merely succeeded in delaying a victory which will reinforce Lancashire’s strong claim to be the best side in Division Two.

Kruger van Wyk has been ruled out of taking further part in the Bangalore Test, due to an injured arm

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Sep-2012Kruger van Wyk, the New Zealand wicketkeeper, will not take any further part in the Bangalore Test, due to an injured arm. Brendon McCullum will take on the wicketkeeping duties when India bat in the fourth innings.Van Wyk was hit on the left forearm while batting, late on the third day, by a short of a length ball from Umesh Yadav; he wasn’t wearing an arm guard at the time. An X-ray confirmed the arm was not* fractured, but he failed to pass a fitness test on the fourth morning.That was the second blow van Wyk had taken off Umesh’s bowling during his innings of 31, having been struck on the helmet after coming down the track to a short ball the previous delivery. He was set to return to New Zealand after the Test, as he was not picked in the Twenty20 squad that will play India in two games on September 8 and 11.*7:08 GMT, September 3: The article had originally said ‘was fractured’. The typo has been corrected.

Jonny Bairstow scored his maiden one-day century in his first innings at Lord’s as bottom-of-the-table Yorkshire beat Middlesex by 22 runs

Scorecard
Jonny Bairstow scored his maiden one-day century in his first innings at Lord’s as bottom-of-the-table Yorkshire dashed Middlesex’s hopes of moving alongside Sussex at the top of the Clydesdale Bank 40 Group A with a 22-run victory. Bairstow made 114 and shared partnerships of 85 in 15 overs with Jacques Rudolph, and 105 in 16 overs with Anthony McGrath, to lead Yorkshire to a total of 275 for 4 after Middlesex had surprisingly put them in to bat on a flat
pitch.The target always looked too big for Middlesex but they made a great fight of it. Paul Stirling, the Ireland batsman, hit 68 off 47 balls, including 10 fours and a six, before he was caught at short cover off the left-arm spin of David Wainwright.Middlesex then slumped to 160 for 7 but Steven Crook hit 61 off 40 balls with five fours and two sixes, Tom Smith (27) joined him in an eighth-wicket stand of 66 in 11 overs, and they were driving Yorkshire to distraction until Smith drove Richard Pyrah to mid-off and Crook sliced Ryan Sidebottom to cover point.The match, which was originally scheduled to be played under floodlights, was only given the go-ahead at 8.30 in the morning with the start brought forward to noon following talks between both sides and the police in the wake of the recent rioting in London. It clearly affected the attendance but there was still a sizeable crowd to see Bairstow take control after Andrew Gale had been caught behind off the fifth ball of the innings from Corey Collymore.Bairstow, the 21-year-old England Lions wicketkeeper-batsman, who had never made more than 46 in his 24 previous one-day matches, was soon driving Tim Murtagh straight back over his head for six on his way to fifty off 47 balls. Brimming with confidence, he went on to complete his hundred with two more sixes off Steven Crook and Murtagh and had accelerated to his 114 off 87 balls with nine fours as well when he was bowled swinging across the line against
Dexter.Rudolph had made 40 off 50 balls when he was caught at extra cover off Crook, McGrath hit 63 off 60 before spooning Murtagh to cover and Gary Ballance weighed in with an unbeaten 34 off 24 balls.

The ICC has suspended Netherlands fast bowler Mark Jonkman from bowling in international cricket after his action was found to be illegal

Cricinfo staff16-Aug-2010The ICC has suspended Netherlands fast bowler Mark Jonkman from bowling in international cricket after an independent test found that his deliveries exceeded the tolerance threshold level of 15 degrees for bending of the elbow.The independent analysis was performed by Prof. Bruce Elliott, member of the ICC Panel of Human Movement Specialists, at the University of Western Australia (UWA) in Perth on July 30.Prof Elliott, in his report, said, “Mean elbow extension levels of 32.9 degrees (±3.74) and 31.4 degrees (±4.52) for the length and yorker deliveries respectively, unfortunately show Mr Jonkman at more than double the allowable extension threshold. Additionally, a mean elbow extension level of 38.8 degrees (±3.73) for the bouncer delivery indicates that Mr Jonkman’s extension levels increase significantly as he bowls the ball shorter.”Jonkman had been reported by on-field umpires Kumar Dharmasena and Buddhi Pradhan following a match between Netherlands and Ireland on July 9 in Amstelveen during the ICC World Cricket League Division 1.Jonkman can apply for re-assessment of his action after he has modified it in accordance with clause 2.4 of the regulations for the review of bowlers reported with suspected illegal bowling actions. He also has the right to appeal against UWA’s conclusions to the Bowling Review Group, within 14 days of receiving the report.

USMNT score three goals in seven minutesPepi, Robinson and Reyna on scoresheetU.S. in pole position for Copa America qualificationGettyWHAT HAPPENED?

The USMNT scored three times in seven minutes and 23 seconds to claim a vital CONCACAF Nations League win over 10-man Trinidad and Tobago Thursday evening. Pepi got things going for Gregg Berhalter's side, before Antonee Robinson followed up with a long-distance curling effort. Then, Reyna finally made his mark on the match, scoring the dagger in the 3-0 victory.

With victory Thursday – which many were not convinced was coming prior to the late Rciardo Pepi opener – the U.S. have all but confirmed their spot at Copa America. For USA fans, it's bittersweet relief, because we all know their history on the island of Trinidad in matches where they need a result to qualify for a major world tournament.

The key to the evening, though, was showing that the USMNT can in fact find a result without starting star wingers Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah. The Soca Warriors were incredibly composed and should be applauded for their defensive showing. Ultimately, though, it was impressive how focused Berhalter's side stayed and how influential his substitutes were; Brenden Aaronson and Pepi changed the game.

Uma das apostas do técnico Jesualdo Ferreira para este ano, o zagueiro Alex Nascimento foi promovido aos profissionais do Santos “de surpresa” durante a pré-temporada. Relacionado em seis das 12 partidas do Peixe até o momento, o jogador tem aproveitado o quintal de casa para manter a forma durante o período de isolamento social, que visa impedir o aumento de casos de COVID-19 no Brasil.

– Tenho treinado diariamente, estou bem focado para estar bem fisicamente quando tudo isso acabar. Os treinos que eu faço são os que o Santos nos passou, busco seguir a risca. Aproveito o quintal de casa aqui em Ribeirão Preto e fico um tempo do meu dia me exercitando – afirmou.

Com a lesão de Lucas Veríssimo às vésperas da estreia do Paulistão, o garoto de 20 anos, que estava treinando com o time B, foi promovido a equipe principal. O atleta ainda não teve a oportunidade de entrar durante os jogos, mas com a saída de Felipe Aguilar ao Athlético-PR tem tudo para ganhar mais chances entre os reservas, torcendo para “sobrar” alguns minutos no decorrer das partidas.

Enquanto isso, a atenção segue na quarentena, mas sem esquecer do lazer. Nesses momentos, as séries e o videogame têm sido aliados.

– Quando não estou treinando, tenho feito o que dá para fazer, vendo série, filme, jogando videogame. Tenho aproveitado para assistir viking, série sobre nórdicos, gosto bastante, e também sou fã de Breaking Bad. No videogame eu tenho jogado bastante Fifa– disse.

Natural de Ribeirão Preto, Alex chegou a base santista durante o ano passado. Antes disso, o jovem passou pelos sub-15 e 17 do São Paulo e sub-20 do Fluminense.

Uma das grandes surpresas do ano de 2020 é o excelente desempenho do experiente atacante Paulo Sérgio, que já ostenta o status de segundo maior goleador do Brasil com a impressionante marca de oito gols em oito jogos. Mas o início de temporada do atleta foi bem, bem movimentado.

Ele começou sua temporada vestindo a camisa do FC Cascavel para a disputa do Campeonato Paranaense, onde ele se destacou rapidamente e assumiu a artilharia do estadual com quatro gols. Quando tudo parecia perfeito, a oportunidade bateu na porta e ele se transferiu para o ABC. E o início foi, segundo o próprio, “dos sonhos”, fazendo o gol do título do primeiro turno do estadual justamente contra o América-RN nos acréscimos.

Em entrevista exclusiva ao LANCE!, o atacante de 30 anos contou como foi assinar com o ABC, o décimo sétimo clube de sua movimentada carreira, afirmando que a visibilidade que o clube de Natal traz pode lhe ajudar a concluir seu objetivo: voltar a disputar a primeira divisão.

-Eu tomei essa decisão de sair do Cascavel, onde estávamos na liderança e eu como artilheiro do campeonato, pela grandeza do ABC. É um clube de massa, de torcida, de uma região muito boa e com a visibilidade muito grande, onde eu sei que eu desempenhando o meu melhor outras portas maiores podem aparecer para mim. Eu estava confiante nisso, fiquei feliz pelo interesse do clube e por confiar muito em mim e no meu trabalho, até por estar me sentindo muito bem, eu não tinha dúvidas em chegar aqui e fazer uma diferença.

Estou feliz, estou tranquilo e com uma cabeça boa, trabalhando bastante e me dedicando muito para continuar fazendo os gols, ajudando a minha equipe para que no futuro a gente possa voltar a disputar uma Série A, que é o meu grande desejo hoje. Eu tenho que fazer um bom trabalho aqui para poder chamar atenção dos clubes de lá, então eu preciso desempenhar o meu melhor para que isso possa acontecer em algum momento -, afirmou.

O atleta também explicou sua saída do Cascavel, explicando que problemas internos e a saída do gerente de futebol Fernando Leite, que foi o responsável por levar Paulo ao clube pela relação pessoal entre os dois, culminaram na mudança de ares.

-Na verdade, antes mesmo de fechar com o Cascavel, eu cheguei a ter umas três opções de clubes, só que eu já tinha dado a minha palavra para o então gerente de futebol Fernando Leite, que é um baita de um profissional e um baita de um ser humano. Eu já tinha dado minha palavra para ele quando ele tinha assumido o cargo no Cascavel e me passou alguns nomes que ele estaria levando para o clube e isso me motivou a fechar com eles. Não é a toa que eles estão brigando com os grandes no topo da tabela, e hoje estão a um ponto do Coritiba. Ele conseguiu montar um grande elenco e isso me motivou. Só que algumas coisas internas não estavam certas e isso fez com que ele pedisse inclusive para sair, e pesou um pouco na minha saída de lá.

Eu estava fazendo um bom trabalho junto com a comissão técnica e com os outros jogadores, e isso despertou o interesse de algumas equipes, inclusive o ABC. Pelo projeto que me ofereceram aqui e por algumas coisas internas que estavam acontecendo no Cascavel que eu não estava de acordo, eu acabei optando por sair. Sou grato ao clube, à comissão técnica, jogadores e a própria diretoria também, mas é um clube que ainda está em formação e naquele momento eu acabei preferindo aceitar a oferta do ABC. Pelo projeto, pela grandeza e a visibilidade -, contou.

O atacante também comemorou a boa fase em 2020, afirmando que está trabalhando duro para garantir que o bom momento não chegue ao fim e que ele possa desfrutar ao máximo possível.

-Eu estou muito feliz pelo momento, pela fase. São oito jogos e oito gols até o momento e eu estou me cuidando bastante para que esse momento não termine. Quero fazer um grande ano, estou muito focado para isso e venho trabalhando e treinando muito forte desde as minhas férias e eu acho que por isso também que eu estou tendo bons resultados. Tem todo esse acompanhamento para que as coisas possam dar certo. Eu fui bem recebido no ABC pelos companheiros, comissão técnica e torcida, com um grupo maravilhoso onde já estou adaptado -, comemorou.

O atleta também avaliou o início de sua estadia com a camisa do ABC, e classificou sua estreia decisiva como “dos sonhos”. Afinal, não é todo dia que você faz o gol do título contra o maior rival.

-Início melhor do que esse impossível. Desde a minha chegada, à pedido do professor Diá que é um cara que eu agradeço muito pela oportunidade de estar falando com ele e vem fazendo um grande trabalho com a nossa equipe, eu não tive dúvidas de vir e dar continuidade ao que eu vinha fazendo no Cascavel. Acho que uma estreia melhor do que a que eu tive aqui é impossível.

“(…) Com certeza vai ficar marcado na minha carreira por fazer o gol de empate no final do segundo tempo e dando o título para a nossa nação. Foi uma estreia dos sonhos”

Se tratando de uma final de campeonato estadual contra o maior rival na nossa casa, eu tive essa oportunidade e com certeza vai ficar marcado na minha carreira por fazer o gol de empate no final do segundo tempo e dando o título para a nossa nação. Foi uma estreia dos sonhos. Logo no jogo seguinte eu pude fazer mais três gols na partida, meu segundo hat trick do ano. É desfrutar desse momento, mas com muita humildade e trabalho para dar sequência nessa fase boa. Tenho que trabalhar bastante para não perder isso -, comemorou.

Paulo Sérgio revelou que ao chegar no Rio Grande do Norte, ele recebeu uma oferta do América-RN, que tentou atravessar o negócio e furar o olho do rival ABC. Mas como o atleta disse, quando ele dá a palavra, ele não volta atrás.

– Ao chegar aqui teve sim uma situação para eu pular o mulo e ir para o América-RN, mas eu já tinha dado minha palavra, e quando eu dou minha palavra eu não volto atrás -, finalizou.

Ruth Prideaux, the former England wicketkeeper-batsman who became England women’s first permanent head coach in 1988 and guided them to the 1993 World Cup, died last week at the age of 85.Prideaux (née Westbrook) earned 11 Test caps between 1957 and 1963, during which time she scored 476 runs at 31.73, with a top score of 87 against South Africa in Cape Town. However, it was for her off-field role that she will arguably be best remembered. She was acknowledged as having helped England become leaders in the women’s game during the early 1990s – bringing in a backroom staff which included nutritionists and physios – which had its crowning moment at Lord’s in 1993 when they defeated New Zealand.In a 2012 interview with the , she talked about her life in cricket: “I started playing cricket at school but I also played all the games such as Lacrosse and hockey.”I trained in Physical Education and started taking cricket more seriously when I took up my first teaching post in Yorkshire. I was a wicket-keeper batswoman and was put forward for county trials.”I suppose I did quite well and progressed on to England. I made my England debut against Australia at the Oval in 1957. I had a good eye for the ball and batted at number-three. I did well enough to keep my place.”A six-month tour with England in 1957-58 took her, by boat, to New Zealand via the Panama Canal before heading across the Tasman to Australia. On the way home they stopped in Sri Lanka before returning through the Suez Canal.”It was a fantastic trip. We were young and enjoying our cricket and enjoying the feeling of travelling. It was a great time for us,” she recalled in the 2012 interview.She is survived by her husband, Roger Prideaux, who also played three Tests for England between 1968 and 1969.

تمت تبرئة كريستوف جالتييه مدرب باريس سان جيرمان السابق، والدحيل القطري الحالي، من اتهامات العنصرية التي وجهت إليه خلال فترة وجوده في نادي نيس الفرنسي، رغم وجود أكثر من شهادة ضده.

واحتجزت الشرطة الفرنسية جالتييه في يونيو الماضي، بعد توجيه تهمة العنصرية على أساس العرق والدين، خلال فترة وجوده كمدرب في نادي نيس.

وتعود الواقعة لرسالة عبر البريد الإلكتروني، عن طريق جوليان فورنييه المدير الرياضي السابق بنادي نيس، والذي فضح جالتييه بكشف فيها عن ممارسات المدرب ضد المسلمين وأصحاب البشرة السمراء.

وبحسب صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية، قدم عدد من لاعبي جالتييه السابقين شهاداتهم خلال المحاكمة التي استمرت أسبوعًا.

المحاكمة كانت ستشهد الحكم على جالتييه بالسجن لمدة 12 شهرًا مع وقف التنفيذ وغرامة قدرها 45 ألف يورو إذا تمت إدانته، لكن تمت تبرئته من جميع التهم في المحكمة في نيس.

ويشير التقرير إلى أن المحاكمة شهدت انهيار العلاقة بين جالتييه وفورنييه.

وبحسب التقرير ادعى اللاعب الفرنسي جان كلير توديبو، وهو مسلم، أنه تعرض لضغوط من جالتييه للإفطار خلال شهر رمضان، ووصفه المدرب بأنه متطرف.

وحارس مرمى النادي السابق تيدي بولهندي ولاعب الوسط هشام بوداوي أشارا أيضًا إلى الضغط من أجل تناول الطعام في أيام المباريات.

وقال بولهندي أن جالتييه وصفه بـ “السلفي” عندما حاول شرح عقيدته لمدرب باريس سان جيرمان السابق، وادعى لاعب آخر أن جالتييه قد وصفه بـ “حثالة” بسبب دينه، وهو ما نفاه المدرب.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك قال جالتييه لاثنين من مدافعي الخصم “كينج كونج”، واعترف المدرب بأنه استخدم الوصف، وقال خلال المحاكمة أنه تحدث بالمثل عن المدافع الأبيض نيكولا بالوا من نانت، موضحًا أن تعلقيه لوصف القوة وليس العرق.
