S Badrinath gets another chance at the highest level•AFP

S Badrinath, the Tamil Nadu batsman, has been called up to the India squad for the Tests against New Zealand as a replacement for VVS Laxman. Laxman, who was in the 15-man squad for the two-Test series, announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect on Saturday.Badrinath, 31, has played two Tests for India, the last being in early 2010 in the home series against South Africa. He has a Test best of 56 in his three innings. His most recent international appearance was during the limited-overs leg of India’s tour of the West Indies last summer.A consistent performer on the domestic circuit, Badrinath was the highest run-getter in the 2010-11 Ranji Trophy, where he amassed 922 runs at 131.71. However, he had a middling 2011-12 season: he had picked up a shoulder injury during the Challenger Trophy in October last year and, as a result, missed the first three rounds of the Ranji Trophy. When he returned, he scored 292 runs in nine innings.When Rahul Dravid retired in March, Badrinath’s name floated around as a possible replacement for him in the India Test middle-order. But, at that point, a BCCI official had told ESPNcricinfo that the odds were against Badrinath. “Not only is he 30-plus, but he has been tested already,” the official said. “He is a good player at domestic level but unfortunately does not seem to fit at the highest level.”

Insight on potential Newcastle takeover

Mark Douglas has dropped some insight on potential Newcastle United takeover investors which he claims is problematic for Mike Ashley.

The Lowdown: Newcastle valuation drops

As per Sportico (via The Chronicle), the valuation of the St. James’ Park faithful has dropped steeply since the global pandemic, with a new value of £190m being reported.

That is the 11th highest in the Premier League, citing that the ongoing threat of relegation hugely depresses the valuation.

There was a point in the season where Steve Bruce’s team were seriously under threat of dropping down to the EFL Championship, and so this has seen the valuation of the North East club plummet.

The Latest: Insight on potential takeover investors

Writing in his latest piece for The Chronicle, Douglas has shared that it is understood that rival investors to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) group would value the Tyneside club under the original £350m agreement.

Douglas adds that this is problematic for Ashley, as he wants the value that he has put on the Magpies to be consistent.

If the KSA consortium were to pull out of the deal altogether, then other potential investors may not want to buy at the price that he has set.

The Verdict: KSA consortium deal key

It is key that if there is a takeover of the Toon, then it is by the KSA consortium, to satisfy all parties involved.

For Ashley, he would then be able to sell at the valuation that he has put on NUFC, and the consortium would then be able to take over as per their aim.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/newcastle-updates-3/” title=”Newcastle updates! (3)” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

There would certainly be question marks over whether the chief executive of Sports Direct would consider selling to anyone else if the consortium pulled out altogether, especially if nobody is willing to meet his original valuation.

Nonetheless, with Newcastle’s value depreciating, Ashley will want to get the deal done as soon as possible in order to get his money’s worth.

Vice e opositor no Palmeiras, Genaro defende Paulistão e ataca Galiotte

MatériaMais Notícias

A declaração de Maurício Galiotte, reafirmando que o Campeonato Paulista é “pequeno” para o Palmeiras, fez Genaro Marino responder o atual presidente publicamente. Atual vice-presidente e também candidato da oposição ao cargo mais importante do clube, Genaro diz que o mandatário desconhece a história alviverde ao desvalorizar a competição estadual.

– Ao dizer que o Campeonato Paulista é ‘pequeno’, Maurício Galiotte mostrou mais uma vez que não conhece a história do Palmeiras. Algumas das nossas maiores glórias foram o que ele agora chama de ‘Paulistinha’ – disse Genaro Marino, nas redes sociais.

– Ou ele se esqueceu do tamanho da vitória sobre nossos rivais em 1993? Ou do ataque de 100 gols, em 1996? Ou do gol de Ronaldo, em 1974? Infelizmente, nosso atual presidente não tem estatura para ocupar a cadeira que está nem tem a dimensão do que pensa o nosso torcedor – continuou o opositor.

– Queremos sim a Libertadores, o Mundial, o Brasileiro. Independentemente do absurdo da final deste ano, queremos ganhar o Paulista também. Desmerecer o maior Estadual do país, taça que já levantamos 22 vezes, é desmerecer nosso passado e nossos heróis – prosseguiu Genaro Marino.

Em entrevista à rádio Jovem Pan, na última sexta-feira, Galiotte manteve sua postura de minimizar a importância do Paulista, como já tinha feito em entrevista logo após o vice-campeonato, nos pênaltis, no Allianz Parque, em 8 de abril, diante do Corinthians. O Verdão foi até o Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva apontando interferência externa ilegal na arbitragem, ao anular pênalti em Dudu naquela decisão, e o presidente já avisou que não ira ao Conselho Técnico do próximo Paulista, na terça-feira.

Na última segunda-feira, o Conselho Deliberativo aprovou as duas chapas que concorrerão à presidência do Palmeiras, em 24 de novembro. O atual presidente conta com o apoio da patrocinadora e conselheira Leila Pereira e, consequentemente, da maioria do CD. Genaro, com uma chapa baseada na gestão de Paulo Nobre, tem também apoio da ala ligada a Mustafá Contursi. Embora tenha perdido força política ultimamente, o ex-presidente segue influente no Conselho Deliberativo.

A chapa de Galiotte é totalmente diferente em relação à atual: os vice-presidentes serão Paulo Roberto Buosi, Décio Perin, Alexandre Zanotta, José Eduardo Luz Caliari. Genaro Marino, Victor Fruges e José Carlos Tomaselli foram para a oposição, enquanto Antonino Jesse Ribeiro, ainda que não mantenha o cargo, segue aliado a Maurício.

Os oposicionistas são todos ex-diretores na gestão Paulo Nobre entre 2013 e 2016: José Carlos Tomaselli, Ricardo Galassi, Luis Henrique Fronterotta e Guilherme Gomes Pereira. O ex-mandatário, rompido com Maurício, dará apoio a Genaro neste processo eleitoral.

Chapple back to form in fifth win

Lancashire eased to their fifth win in seven games beating Leicestershire by six wickets in the Clydesdale Bank 40 Group A clash at Grace Road.

22-Jul-2012
ScorecardLancashire eased to their fifth win in seven games beating Leicestershire by six wickets in the Clydesdale Bank 40 Group A clash at Grace Road. Stephen Moore, Ashwell Prince and Steven Croft all hit half centuries as Lancashire cruised to their victory target of 219 with 4.2 overs to spare.The win puts them two points behind leaders Middlesex, with three games in hand. The Foxes could only post a disappointing 218 for 8 despite a brilliant unbeaten 83 from 18-year-old Shiv Thakor, while Lancashire’s veteran seamer, Glen Chapple, claimed 4 for 46 – his best return for six years in the 40-over game.An opening stand of 108 in 17 overs between Moore and Prince gave Lancashire the perfect start, with Moore dominating the early stages of the innings scoring 36 of the 48 runs that came off the first power play. He reached 50 off 46 balls – his fifth in seven games – but was then caught at cover off medium pacer Michael Thornely for 60. Prince reached his half century off 62 balls with two fours plus a six off Thakor, but holed out to mid-wicket having hit 85 off 89 balls.Two wickets in successive balls from Taylor brought a brief halt to Lancashire’s progress but Croft saw them home with an unbeaten 57 off 58 balls.Thakor, who has just taken his A-levels, was the star turn of Leicestershire’s innings in his first game in the competition this season, after the Foxes had plunged to 68 for 4 in 16 overs. Will Jones was out lbw to Tom Smith in the opening over, Greg Smith was bowled by Chapple for 20 and the prized wicket of the in-form Ramnaresh Sarwan was taken by Ajmal Shahzad.Sarwan, who has hit two centuries in the CB40 this season, looked in good touch again, until he was caught at cover off a leading edge for 20, and when Michael Thornley chopped a Shahzad delivery back into his stumps, Lancashire were in total control. But Matt Boyce and Thakor, dragged Leicestershire back into the game. Despite a lack of boundaries they shared a 50 stand in 10 overs and Boyce reached his own half century off 60 balls with two fours. Thakor’s 50 soon followed and came off 60 balls with three fours.But the stand was broken when Boyce was stumped as he lost balance trying to reverse sweep Gary Keedy. The partnership off 96 contained 66 singles – 33 to each player. With Boyce’s departure, Thakor began to attack, square cutting Chapple to the boundary and then pulling him for six. But Chapple took the last three wickets with the impressive Thakor unbeaten on 83 off 74 balls as the Foxes scored 42 runs off the last four overs.

Zé lamenta empate: 'Se era para ter um vencedor, deveria ser o Botafogo'

Após sair à frente do placar, o Botafogo viu o Vasco empatar ainda no primeiro tempo em um resultado ruim para as pretensões de ambas as equipes no Campeonato Brasileiro. Minutos depois do 1 a 1 no Nilton Santos, Zé Ricardo lamentou o placar, sobretudo pelo “contexto” do confronto.

– Acho que conseguimos alternar os lados e ganhamos um pouquinho com a entrada do João Pedro. O empate acabou acontecendo. Lamentamos pelo contexto, mas sabíamos que poderia ocorrer pela igualdade da situação de ambos na tabela – analisou Zé Ricardo, completando:

– Mas jogamos pensando nos três pontos desde o início. Se era para ter um vencedor, deveria ser o Botafogo, no meu ponto de vista.

A respeito do tema sempre polêmico arbitragem, muito contestada pelo lado botafoguense, principalmente por conta de um lance envolvendo Kieza e Ramon na área vascaína, o comandante do Glorioso questionou o juiz Ricardo Marques Ribeiro, antes de elogiá-lo.

– É muito difícil falar de arbitragem. Não gosto mesmo. Ser árbitro é muito difícil, e temos que tentar ajudá-los. Eu compactuo com a ideia do VAR, como o Botafogo. O lance hoje é passível de discussão? Talvez… Queria entender o Kieza, um artilheiro nato, na frente do gol, não finalizar?! Peço que meu grupo não fale de arbitragem, mas os lances estão aí. Não queremos favorecimento, mas também não queremos ser prejudicados – finalizou.

O Botafogo de Zé Ricardo, agora com 34 pontos e na 12ª colocação do Brasileirão, se reapresenta na tarde desta quarta-feira, no mesmo Nilton Santos. O próximo desafio será contra o Ceará, na próxima segunda, em tarefa na qual o Alvinegro “precisará estar muito bem preparado”, segundo o técnico.

Vasco anuncia chegada do dirigente Anderson Barros ao clube

MatériaMais Notícias

O Vasco anunciou, no fim da tarde desta quarta-feira, a contratação de Anderson Barros para o cargo de gerente de futebol do clube a partir de 2017, via nota no site oficial. Na terça-feira, já tinha a decisão de sua chegada, assim como a promoção de Eurico Brandão, mais conhecido como Euriquinho, filho do presidente Eurico Miranda, de assessor especial da presidência para vice-presidente de futebol.

Isaías Tinoco segue no Vasco. Na prática, o fato de Euriquinho ter sido promovido na hierarquia do clube não muda as situações de administração da área em São Januário. Como assessor especial da presidência, o filho de Eurico Miranda já exercia a função, sendo o homem forte para a contratação de jogadores e planejamento do elenco. José Luis Moreira foi o último vice-presidente de futebol, mas estava licenciado.

Australia need to 'adjust' to UAE conditions – Sutherland

Cricket Australia (CA) chief executive James Sutherland has said Australia will ‘need to adjust to’ the conditions in the UAE for their upcoming series against Pakistan, but the required adjustment will not be ‘that significant’.Australia are set to play three Twenty20s and three ODIs in the UAE in in August and September, with the matches beginning in the late evening to avoid the worst of the daytime heat. The heat and the decision to start the one-dayers at 6pm – meaning the scheduled finish is 1.45am – continue to be an issue with the Australian Cricketers’ Association (ACA) though.”It’ll be hot, but the sun’s not going to be shining and that’s probably the really important factor there,” Sutherland told . “In terms of the hours, it’s not ideal but at the same time it’s just an adjustment that the players will need to [make]. It’s the same for both teams.”There are many people in the world who work different hours and these will be different hours for our players, unconventional hours for cricket perhaps. But the game’s only going a couple of hours later than it would ordinarily, so I’m not sure that adjustment is really that significant.”CA officials will visit the UAE next week, to assess the conditions. There had been much debate over the actual make-up of the series, which is a ‘home’ series for Pakistan. The ACA had expressed its concerns about playing ODIs in such hot weather, prompting the series to be changed to a six-match Twenty20 affair, which was approved by the ICC in June. However, the PCB then approached the Australian board, putting forward a request to review the composition of the series once again. ESPNcricinfo understands that the series’ broadcaster had objected to six Twenty20s for commercial reasons. The new schedule was announced by the PCB earlier this month.The venue of the series had also been an issue. It was initially scheduled to be played in Sri Lanka but Pakistan were forced to search for an alternate venue after Sri Lanka backed out in May, citing the clash in the dates with the inaugural Sri Lanka Premier League.
