Cricket South Africa has been dealt another blow with acting chief executive Jacques Faul confirming he will not apply for the post full-time

Firdose Moonda08-Jan-2013

On the eve of the meeting in which Cricket South Africa will restructure its board, the organisation has been dealt another blow. Acting chief executive Jacques Faul has confirmed he will not apply for the post full-time which means CSA will need to search for a new boss.”I don’t see myself doing the job permanently,” Faul told ESPNcricinfo while sources close to him said the recent infighting was the last straw. Faul has been in the position as a stand-in since March last year after Gerald Majola was suspended and then dismissed. His tenure will only end when a replacement has been found.Since Faul was appointed, CSA’s board has had multiple speed bumps on the road to transition. The latest involves a feud with the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) over the composition of the new structure. In accordance with the ministerial-convened Nicholson commission, CSA’s new board must contain five independent directors, one of whom is the chairperson but SASCOC are opposed to an independent chair.Tomorrow, CSA will decide how they will make up their new board and whether they will honour Nicholson or give in to SASCOC. They will also make a call on the acting president Willie Basson against whom allegations of Apartheid-era wrongdoing were made last week. Basson’s initial threat of resignation and subsequent withdrawal has thrown the board into further turmoil which Faul has decided he can do without in the long-term.The post of CEO has been advertised but the successful applicant can only be appointed after the new board is put in place. Faul was considered the frontrunner for the job because of the positive gains made by CSA in his time in office. The organisation went from losing major sponsors across all formats during the Majola debacle to regaining corporate backing to the tune of millions of Rands.Although deals with Test-sponsor Sunfoil and ODI-backer Momentum were put in place before Faul took over, under him the former’s agreement was extended and the latter’s sewn up. Fast-food giant KFC have the naming rights to international and domestic T20 matches and Blue Label Telecoms back the T20 squad. Some of those agreements now also hang in the balance because they were conditional to board restructure.Faul was previously the CEO of the North West Cricket Union and has had a long involvement in the game. He is completing a doctorate and may walk away from cricket altogether, although he has also been linked to the Titans job, who also have an acting CEO in operation after the sudden death of their boss Elise Lombard last August.Former ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat has also expressed interest in the position but stipulated that he would only consider it if the corporate governance issues at CSA had been sorted out. Since leaving the ICC, Lorgat has worked as a consultant with Sri Lanka Cricket and is now doing work in Pakistan. Lorgat has worked with CSA before as convenor of selectors.

Sem vencer fora de casa no Campeonato Brasileiro, a um ponto da zona de rebaixamento e com derrotas nos últimos três jogos com o comando do técnico Alberto Valentim, o Vasco está procurando de onde tirar forças para se recuperar e salvar o fim de temporada. Após perder para o América-MG, na noite desta quinta-feira, em Minas Gerais, o meia Wagner avaliou a fase cruz-maltina e afirmou não saber de onde tirar forças para mudar o cenário.

– Difícil falar nessa hora. Estamos tentando, batalhando, correndo. Vamos ter que achar forças não sei de onde para reverter. Vamos botar a cabeça no lugar porque temos o Vitória pela frente. Conseguimos ter mais volume de jogo, chegamos bem mais ao ataque. Temos que melhorar nossa marcação, tanto na frente quanto no meio. Quando ficarmos mais consistentes vamos parar de tomar gols – afirmou o meia na saída de campo.

Os jogadores do Vasco viajam nesta sexta-feira de Minas Gerais para a Bahia. Em solo baiano, o elenco cruz-maltino realiza treinamentos na própria sexta e no sábado. No domingo, enfrentam o Vitória em mais uma rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O retorno ao Rio de Janeiro acontecerá somente na segunda-feira.

It was a bittersweet ending to the Castle Logan Cup for the Matabeleland Tuskers, who won the title despite a three-day 154-run loss to Mid West Rhinos at the Kwekwe Sports Club in the final round of matches. The Tuskers had entered the match having built up a big enough lead in the points table to secure the title, even if they lost.The Tuskers chose to field and their bowlers did the job required of them, rolling Rhinos for 116. Bradley Staddon, Richard Jones and Njabulo Ncube picked up all of the ten wickets among them. Rhinos’ Richard Muzhange, though, led a fine fightback. He took five wickets as the Rhinos bowlers combined to bowl Tuskers out for 115. Neither batsman on either side got to a fifty in the first innings.The Rhinos batsmen were relatively better in the second innings: most got starts but couldn’t go on to make big scores, but the consistent contributions through the line-up meant Rhinos set Tuskers a competitive victory target of 298. Captain Gary Ballance top scored with 62. The Tuskers batsmen continued to struggle, and were demolished the second time around by the offspin of Simon Mugava: he took 6 for 41 in 13 overs, as the Tuskers were bowled out for 143.At the Masvingo Sports Club the Southern Rocks held on for a draw in a match dominated by the Mountaineers. The Mountaineers chose to bat and piled up 412 for 9 before declaring. Their innings was built around hundreds from captain Timycen Maruma and Donald Tiripano. Opener Daryl Mitchell fell six short of a ton.The bowlers too put up a team showing, sharing the wickets around as Rocks succumbed for 145 in a little over 50 overs. The Rocks were made to follow-on, and showed solid resolve in their second innings, batting out 62 overs for 114 runs. They went to stumps on the final day with four wickets in hand.

O Corinthians não fez um bom jogo defensivamente e não foi vazado graças às grandes defesas de Cássio, mas um jogador em especial destoou no sistema defensivo: o volante Renê Júnior, que não conseguiu conter os adversários e pouco acrescentou nas saídas ao ataque.

Renê Júnior está em sua terceira grande chance para se firmar, principalmente por conta da venda de Maycon e da lesão de Ralf. Porém, nos próximos dias o setor ganhará mais um concorrente: Douglas, que era do Fluminense e foi anunciado nesta quinta-feira como novo reforço do Timão. Se Renê Júnior não evoluir, certamente perderá a vaga de titular.

A defesa do Corinthians também deixou a desejar nas jogadas aéreas, principal arma do Botafogo. Foram várias oportunidades da equipe carioca pelo alto, e o técnico Osmar Loss admitiu que o Timão poderia ter pressionado para evitar cruzamentos. Por outro lado, falou que ainda precisa rever os lances e ponderou pela parte física dos jogadores, que não atuavam em partida oficial desde o dia 13 de junho.

Mas o sistema defensivo do Corinthians também mostrou pontos positivos durante o confronto com o Botafogo. Se atacava no 4-2-3-1, o Timão se fechava no 4-4-2, com Rodriguinho e Roger avançados, enquanto Romero e Vital voltavam e se alinhavam aos volantes.

Outra variação mostrada no primeiro jogo oficial após a parada dos campeonatos por conta da Copa do Mundo foi a utilização do goleiro para rodar a bola na defesa. Entretanto, o próprio Loss admitiu que também é preciso segurar a bola mais longe de sua área para controlar a partida na hora da pressão do adversário. O treinador disse que é preciso evoluir em alguns aspectos e terá apenas dois dias de treinos até o próximo jogo, contra o São Paulo, sábado, no Morumbi.

With the county season reaching its end, a number of Ireland’s players with commitments in England will miss the four-day Intercontinental Cup match between Ireland and Namibia in Belfast from September 6

ESPNcricinfo staff29-Aug-2011With the county season reaching its end, a number of Ireland’s players with commitments in England will miss the four-day Intercontinental Cup match between Ireland and Namibia in Belfast from September 6. The match was originally scheduled for early July but was postponed because the Namibia players were facing issues getting their visas. With regular captain William Porterfield missing the game, Kevin O’Brien has been appointed captain of a 13-man squad that includes some new names.Stuart Poynter, the 21-year-old wicketkeeper, joins his older brother Andrew in the squad, while 18-year-old Graeme McCarter, who took 14 wickets in the recent Under-19 World Cup qualifying tournament, has also been included. Boyd Rankin, contracted with Warwickshire, Niall O’Brien, who plays for Northamptonshire, and Sussex’s Ed Joyce will all miss the game, which is Ireland’s first four-day match in this year’s Intercontinental Cup. Trent Johnson will also miss the game with injury.Ireland have recently announced they are planning to put a first-class structure in place in order to ultimately attain Test status, and this will be their first first-class match this year.Kevin O’Brien has captained Ireland once before but only in List A games, and he said he was looking forward to leading the team in a longer format. “The four-day game gives skippers a chance to try different ideas and put their own stamp on the team,” he said. “We have a few new faces in the squad for the game, with Stuart Poynter and Graeme McCarter both uncapped at senior level. This is an excellent chance for them, and the rest of the squad to make a mark ahead of the winter schedule.”Ireland had won the Intercontinental Cup three years in a row before Afghanistan won last year’s event.Ireland squad: Kevin O’Brien (captain), Alex Cusack, George Dockrell, Phil Eaglestone, Nigel Jones, Graeme McCarter, John Mooney, Andrew Poynter, Stuart Poynter, Paul Stirling, Albert van der Merwe, Andrew White, Gary Wilson.

O ano começou com Jailson, Fernando Prass e Weverton disputando a vaga de titular no gol do Palmeiras – o primeiro dos três acabou o escolhido e tem justificado a decisão. Um dos destaques do Verdão, o goleiro tem desempenho até para ser convocado para a Seleção Brasileira, segundo Roger. A briga na meta, portanto, está restrita à vaga de primeiro reserva e foi reaberta pelo técnico.

Durante o Paulista, Prass era o substituto imediato de Jailson, tanto que entrou no Dérbi em que o camisa 42 foi expulso e o substituiu quando precisou cumprir suspensão em outras duas partidas. Agora, Roger escolheu fazer um revezamento. Contra o Boca Juniors (ARG), Weverton foi o reserva, enquanto Prass foi até cortado do banco de reservas – na Libertadores só podem ficar sete jogadores no banco. No domingo, quando precisou poupar o titular contra a Chapecoense, o reforço trazido do Atlético-PR jogou.

-Diferentemente do que determinei no Paulista, coloquei os jogadores no mesmo nível. Então, vai haver um revezamento daqueles que vão ser os segundos em determinados momentos. Como o Weverton foi o segundo na Libertadores, automaticamente, na ausência do Jailson, o Weverton foi para a partida. Posteriormente, se acontecer a mesma coisa, e estiver na vez do Fernando, será ele o goleiro do Palmeiras – disse Roger.

Weverton teve pouquíssimo trabalho diante dos catarinenses. Foi sua segunda partida no ano – a outra havia sido contra o Ituano, quando o Palmeiras jogou com uma equipe toda reserva. Contratado por R$ 2 milhões após 318 partidas pelo Furacão, o camisa 21, de 30 anos, é ainda visto como o goleiro do futuro no clube. Jailson tem 36 anos, Prass, 39, e os contratos dos dois terminam em dezembro – o clube não tratou do futuro com nenhum deles ainda. O ex-atleticano, por outro lado, tem vínculo até o fim de 2022.

Roger não revelou quantas partidas em sequência dará para cada um dos reservas. Contra o Alianza Lima (PER), quinta-feira, ou Fernando Prass ou Weverton será cortado do banco novamente. Apesar da intensa competição, em todas as entrevistas o bom ambiente entre os três é citado.

– A gente é muito feliz dentro do Palmeiras. Tanto eu, quanto Jailson e Prass temos orgulho de vestir essa camisa. É uma briga legal porque são três grandes goleiros que querem espaço. Infelizmente só pode jogar um. Eu, às vezes, me coloco no lugar do Roger porque sei o quanto deve ser difícil para ele poder encarar isso e ter essa decisão. Temos de valorizar também o Palmeiras por ter essa qualidade e grandes jogadores na mesma posição – analisou Weverton, que elogiou Jailson.

– Somos felizes, estamos contentes, o Jailson está em um momento espetacular da carreira dele. Sempre converso e digo para ele aproveitar esse momento, ele merece o que vive. A gente tem de trabalhar e esperar quando o Roger der oportunidade para manter o mesmo nível e procurar ajudar o Palmeiras – completou.

Além dos três, o Palmeiras tem Daniel Fuzato, ex-sub-20, como quarto goleiro. Vinícius Silvestre, outro arqueiro formado pelo clube, tem 24 anos e está emprestado à Ponte Preta até dezembro.

وتابع: “أجرينا تغييرات في أضيق الحدود لأنها كلها كانت اضطرارية بسبب إصابة اللاعبين وتعرضهم للإرهاق لأنهم يلعبون مباراة كل 3 أيام”.

وأضاف: “أيمن الرمادي يلعب أي مباراة سواء أمام الزمالك أو الأهلي، بشكل هجومي وضغط، ولذلك الأبيض تفاجأ من هجوم أسوان من بداية المباراة”.

وبسؤاله عن الحوار الذي دار بين أيمن الرمادي وجوسفالدو فيريرا عقب المباراة، قال: “مدرب أسوان ذهب لنظيره البرتغالي وقال له حظ موفق، وكان رد الأخير (جيد.. ولكن عليك أن تلعب بهذا الأداء أمام الأهلي أيضًا)، وأوضح له المدير الفني لأسوان بأنه يلعب بنفس الأسلوب أمام جميع الفرق وليس من شأنه الصراع الذي يدور في قمة الدوري”.

Sri Lanka 146 for 1 (Tharanga 67*, Dilshan 44) beat Kenya 142 (C Obuya 52, D Obuya 51, Malinga 6-38) by nine wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Kenya had no answer to Lasith Malinga•AFP

Lasith Malinga announced his return to full fitness by storming his way to an unprecedented second World Cup hat-trick with an exhibition of yorker-on-demand bowling that proved too much for Kenya’s tail at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The visitors imploded to 142 all out despite dogged half-centuries from the Obuya brothers, who enjoyed plenty of fortune in a determined 94-run stand that kept the varied threats of Sri Lanka’s bowling at bay for nearly 30 overs. Sri Lanka’s batsmen barely had to break a sweat in the chase, finishing it off in 18 overs.

Smart Stats

• Lasith Malinga became the only bowler to pick up two hat-tricks in World Cups. His previous one had come against South Africa in 2007. So far, six bowlers have taken a hat-trick in World Cups.

• This was also the first instance of bowlers taking hat-tricks in consecutive matches in a World Cup. The 2003 World Cup was the last edition to see two hat-tricks.

• Malinga’s 6 for 38 is the second-best bowling figures by a Sri Lankan bowler in World Cups, behind Chaminda Vaas’ 6 for 25 against Bangladesh in 2003.

• The 94-run stand between David Obuya and Collins Obuya is the fourth-best for Kenya for the third wicket in World Cups.

• Apart from David Obuya and Collins Obuya, the rest of the batsmen failed to reach double figures and aggregated just 20 runs among them. From a decent position of 120 for 3, Kenya lost the last seven wickets for just 22 runs to be bowled out for 142.

• David Obuya’s strike-rate of 48.11 and Collins Obuya’s strike-rate of 52 are third and seventh on the list of lowest strike-rates for scores between 50 and 99 in World Cups. The lowest is Ishwar Maraj’s 53 off 155 balls, at a strike-rate of 34.19 against South Africa in 2003.

• The 188 dot-balls in the Kenya innings is the second-highest in the 2011 World Cup, behind the 194 dots in Canada’s innings against Zimbabwe.

• Sri Lanka’s nine-wicket win over Kenya was achieved with 188 balls to spare. This is third on the list of victories with most balls to spare for Sri Lanka in World Cups.

The Obuyas weren’t exactly convincing – testing every edge of their bat, surviving close lbw calls, regularly air-driving outside off and rarely reading the spinner’s variations – but hung on obdurately to take Kenya into triple-digits. A solid platform was in place when they had hauled Kenya to 102 for 2, but Malinga’s burst demolished the tail as the final eight wickets were blasted out for 40 runs. None of the other Kenyan batsmen made it past single-figures.The Kenyan collapse was rapid: it took only 22 deliveries for them to go from 127 for 4 to being bowled out. Muttiah Muralitharan started it off by getting the set batsman David Obuya to slog-sweep to midwicket.Then it was Malinga time. Jimmy Kamande barely found his bearings after being struck by a toe-crusher, and decided to go for a single when the ball was only a couple of metres away from him. Chamara Silva pounced from midwicket and did a passable imitation of Jonty Rhodes from 1992 to crash into the stumps and dismiss Kamande.Tanmay Mishra was next, becoming the first victim of Malinga’s hat-trick after missing a full delivery on leg stump to fall for a 13-ball duck. It was the final ball of the over, and Malinga gave Peter Ongondo the warmest welcome possible to the tournament in the first ball of his next – a yorker that uprooted middle. The staggered dismissals meant many in the crowd weren’t aware that Malinga was on a hat-trick. He steamed in and middle stump was dismantled again next ball, the clueless batsman this time was Shem Ngoche.Attention then shifted to whether Malinga could repeat his outrageous four-in-four from the 2007 World Cup, but he sprayed a wild delivery for five leg-side wides. Elijah Otieno defended the next ball, but that was followed by another unstoppable yorker from Malinga that thud into leg stump to end Kenya’s innings. Malinga had taken four in five legal deliveries to finish with 6 for 38.A tiresomely familiar tale seemed set to play out earlier in the afternoon when Kenya slid to 8 for 2 in the third over. Nuwan Kulasekara and Malinga removed the openers cheaply with their favourite weapons – Kulasekara getting Maurice Ouma with an inducker, and Malinga dislodging Seren Waters with an inswinging yorker that left the batsman on his knees.The Obuyas ensured there wasn’t a repeat of Kenya’s house-of-cards performance against New Zealand. Kulasekara gave away only nine runs in a constricting six-over opening spell, but Kenya were more at ease against Angelo Mathews, who was taken for a couple of boundaries.Sri Lanka brought on the spin of Ajantha Mendis in the 14th over to break the frustrating stand, but though the batsmen weren’t sure which way the ball would turn, they survived his bag of tricks with some dour defence. Kumar Sangakkara then turned to Muttiah Muralitharan to get the wickets, but though there were leading edges and outside edges, Murali couldn’t break through, with the batsmen negotiating him with a series of sweeps.It was painfully slow progress from the Obuyas, and after more than two hours of defiance, it was that most deadly of weapons that separated them – a Malinga yorker. Some more of those left Sri Lanka chasing a tiny target in front of a raucous Colombo crowd.The fans had even more to cheer when Sri Lanka batted, as Tillkaratne Dilshan provided a typically fast start with an array of punches through cover. He picked up a couple of boundaries in three successive overs to power Sri Lanka to 51 in the sixth over. Upul Tharanga, who started sedately, then joined the party with three fours in the next over. Dilshan fell short of a half-century, but Tharanga went on to make 67 with a string of lofted boundaries in the batting Powerplay to hasten the finish, and push Sri Lanka to the top of the table on net run-rate.
