Australia are increasingly becoming a team bound to the singular vision of the coach Darren Lehmann, after it was announced that the senior assistant coach Steve Rixon had been jettisoned from the support staff of the national side.Rixon, who had been employed as fielding, spin bowling and assistant coach at various times in a role he began in 2011, and also deputised for Lehmann on the ODI tour of India last year, took his last sessions with the team around the Sydney ODI that preceded the Allan Border Medal presentation and did not fly to South Africa on Wednesday.Lehmann couched Rixon’s exit as part of a move away from catch-all assistant coaches to specialist consultants in various disciplines, from the appointment of Mike Young on a short-term contract to the use of Shane Warne to mentor the team’s spinners before the World Twenty20 to be played in Bangladesh after the South Africa tour.”I’ve taken the opportunity to look at our current coaching structure and the levels of support I feel we need moving into the future,” Lehmann said. “I’ve mentioned previously that I believe our players can really benefit from more dedicated skill-based training, which means more regular support from technical experts to help work on specific areas of performance.”This will see various coaches and experts in their field working with the team as and when it is needed. In recent times that’s included people like Mike Young to work on fielding while Shane Warne is going to work with our spinners in a short-term capacity ahead of the ICC World Twenty 20.”These changes to how we support our players means it is no longer necessary to have a full-time assistant coach travelling with the team. Steve has made an outstanding contribution to Australian cricket over a long period of time and played an important role with the national team since 2011.”Though he mentored the India touring team capably, in keeping with a long career where he has coached with great success with New South Wales, New Zealand and the Chennai Super Kings among others, Rixon’s place in the Australian set-up looked uncertain from the moment Young was called back to improve the team’s ground fielding ahead of the Ashes.He will be missed by several of the team’s NSW representatives in particular, as the captain Michael Clarke and his deputy Brad Haddin have each developed close relationships with Rixon at state and national levels. However, the spinner Nathan Lyon did not enjoy quite so successful a union when the former coach Mickey Arthur appointed Rixon to oversee slow bowling, ultimately preferring the counsel of John Davison.Over his first seven months in the job, Lehmann has gradually assembled his chosen coaching team, recalling Craig McDermott to work with the pace bowlers while also appointing his former Queensland colleague Damian Mednis as the team’s strength and conditioning coach instead of the Victorian David Bailey.Rixon was a candidate for the role of Sri Lanka coach last year, but ended negotiations when he concluded that the island nation’s salary package was insufficient. He remains under the employment of the Chennai Super Kings, enjoying a fruitful partnership with the former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming.

Tamim steps down as Bangladesh vice-captain

Tamim Iqbal has resigned as Bangladesh’s vice-captain to focus more on his batting

Isam: BCB to blame for Tamim resignation

Tamim Iqbal has resigned as Bangladesh’s vice-captain to focus more on his batting. He informed the BCB through a letter to Akram Khan, the chairman of the cricket operations committee.The board had appointed Tamim as Mushfiqur Rahim’s deputy for the series against Sri Lanka four days before the Dhaka Test that started on January 27. He was given the same role on Saturday when Mashrafe Mortaza was named captain for the two-match Twenty20 series after Mushfiqur was rested due to a finger injury.”With such a long season coming up, I think it is in the best interest of the team that I focus on my batting,” Tamim said. “The role of the vice-captain has certain off-field duties, although it is not that visible on the field.”Nazmul Hassan, the BCB president, said that Mashrafe’s experience as an international captain convinced him to give the bowler the interim job.”Tamim Iqbal is a very important member of the national cricket team and he is a future leader,” Hassan said. “More than anything, it is his batting ability which is most significant to the fortunes of Bangladesh cricket. With a busy international season underway we felt it would be best not to burden him with the additional responsibility of captaincy in the Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka so that he could fully concentrate on his batting.Tamim Iqbal wants to focus more on his batting•AFP

“Masrafe Bin Mortaza is the team’s most senior cricketer and an inspirational figure. We are confident that he will lead the side competently with his vast experience.”The two-match Test series against Sri Lanka has been Tamim’s second-worst in terms of runs scored. He made 48 runs in the series, getting out playing a hook shot and a hoick in the two innings in Mirpur.There was expectation that he would bounce back in his hometown Chittagong but he missed a delivery that kept low in the first innings, and was bowled through the gate in the second innings.

Goleiro do Juventude exalta início na Série C

MatériaMais Notícias

O Juventude vive um momento especial na temporada de 2019 após início que deixou sequelas com a dura eliminação no estadual para o Grêmio. Isso porque, mesmo tendo três empates em quatro confronto, em um deles veio a classificação na Copa do Brasil e, no último fim de semana, veio o triunfo no primeiro jogo em casa diante do Paysandu.

Na visão do arqueiro Omar, o trabalho feito no dia a dia com o técnico Marquinhos Santos tem sido fundamental para que a equipe caxiense demonstre tal crescimento:

-Nós evoluímos e estamos mostrando a força do grupo neste início de Série C. Estamos fazendo ótimas partidas e a consequência disso é a nossa invencibilidade na disputa até aqui. Temos que manter esse ritmo forte agora para continuarmos bem na competição. O elenco está lutando para isso.

– O Boa Esporte tem uma grande equipe e, assim como a gente, vai brigar muito para estar nas finais da competição. É uma final para a nossa equipe. Precisamos vencer para manter o ritmo forte desse início de disputa – finalizou o arqueiro do Ju.

Bonsucesso aposta em comissão técnica que fez sucesso com o Bangu

MatériaMais Notícias

O Bonsucesso se prepara para voltar à primeira divisão do Campeonato Carioca e projeta voltar ao cenário nacional. A estreia do time, nesta quarta-feira, 29, às 15h, contra o Serrano, pela segunda divisão Estadual, põe como primeiro teste o investimento que o time da Leopoldina fez para retomar seu lugar na elite do Rio de Janeiro. Também serve para olhar a possibilidade de se classificar para o Campeonato Brasileiro Série D ou Copa do Brasil do próximo ano, a partir da Copa Rio que começa em junho.

O primeiro passo que o Bonsucesso deu foi trazer a maior parte da comissão técnica do Bangu que surpreendeu neste Carioca chegando na semifinal da Taça Rio, semifinal geral da competição e ainda classificando o time em outras duas competições nacionais em 2020: o Brasileiro Série D e a Copa do Brasil. Alguns atletas, como o lateral-direito Kelvin, o zagueiro Jeferson Siqueira e o volante Josiel, que atuaram em jogos do Alvirrubro, também reforçam a equipe rubro-anil.

– Dentro da nossa realidade, o tempo foi muito apertado para montar comissão, elenco e preparar o time. Mas aqui prezamos pelo planejamento e acredito que as primeiras escolhas foram corretas, assim como as dos atletas que foram certeiras, porque já vinham de um início de temporada em atividade e estão aptos para atuarem. Normal que ainda faltem alguns ajustes, mas o melhor foi feito e o resultado virá de acordo com o que foi trabalhado – explica Alan Paschoal, vice-presidente de futebol do Bonsucesso.

Para completar positivamente a maratona que eleva o time à primeira divisão carioca a partir da Série B1 e trilha o caminho para uma competição nacional a partir da sequência de mata-matas da Copa Rio, o Bonsucesso treina forte em Teixeira de Castro. O diretor executivo Luciano Portela vê no grupo as principais qualidades que podem atingir os objetivos traçados.

– Além da comissão técnica semifinalista do Campeonato Carioca, trouxemos o Luciano Quadros, um treinador muito qualificado com resultados aparentes no futebol do Rio de Janeiro, além de um elenco forte. Entendo que para disputar uma competição longa como a Série B1 e paralelo à Copa Rio você precisa ter um elenco forte, qualificado em que as mudanças de peças não sofram com o que é passado como metodologia de jogo – complementa Portela.

Por acaso a estreia do Bonsucesso será no Estádio Moça Bonita, em Bangu.

Rising Associate v struggling Full Member

One is a Full Member and one an Associate. That itself tells the story, and also does not

Abhishek Purohit in Sylhet16-Mar-2014Match FactsMarch 17, 2014
Start time 1530 local (0930 GMT)Ireland had recently defeated West Indies in the Caribbean•West Indies Cricket

Big PictureOne is a Full Member and one an Associate. That itself tells the story, and also does not. Zimbabwe are probably the poorest advertisement for a Full Member with their chronic struggles – financial, administrative, cricketing. But they continue to be a Full Member. Ireland are probably the best advertisement for an Associate, banging hard on the door of cricket’s small and privileged clique with encouraging performances. But they continue to be an Associate. One can argue in favour of changing the status quo in both cases.In that sense, this is a clash filled with significance, both symbolic and real, for the wider cricketing world. Symbolic because it pits one still included mostly by virtue of being already in against one still excluded mostly by virtue of having never been allowed in.Real because Bangladesh v Afghanistan and Ireland v Zimbabwe were widely expected to be the two games that would decide who qualifies for the Super 10 stage of the World T20. Bangladesh could have slipped on the banana peel again, like they did in the Asia Cup, but this time, they crushed it. Both Ireland and Zimbabwe will have probably seen that and drawn their lessons from it.Zimbabwe have endured the embarrassment of a loss to Hong Kong in the warm-ups but rebounded by downing Ireland’s fellow Associate high-fliers Afghanistan. Ireland beat Nepal in their first practice game but were then quelled by Bangladesh. Both sides can claim the upper hand on various counts. Zimbabwe have subsisted on training sessions and practice games for months now, while Ireland have recently defeated West Indies in the Caribbean.Zimbabwe have been to Bangladesh many more times than Ireland have, and their players have been a regular feature in Bangladeshi leagues such as the BPL and the DPL.Neither side has played in Sylhet, though, and the brand new Sylhet Divisional Stadium would be a fitting location for those seeking to establish a new order to challenge the old, and the old to resist them.Form guideIreland LWWWL
Zimbabwe LLLWLWatch out forZimbabwe have not played international cricket since September, so there is little to go by in terms of current form. Hamilton Masakadza struck 93 off just 52 balls, including seven sixes, against Afghanistan in the warm-up. He likes to take his time in the one-dayers, but once in the mood, he can cause plenty of damage in quick time. He also has three T20 hundreds to his name.Paul Stirling may not have a hundred in the format, but by the time he falls, he’s often set the match up for Ireland with his uninhibited hitting. To have a strike-rate of close to 140 over 84 games takes some doing, and to add to that, he can also be utilised for some overs of offspin, something that Ireland will likely find handy in Bangladesh.Team newsWilliam Porterfield spoke highly of the young offspinner Andy McBrine, saying he had impressed over the last six weeks in the West Indies and in the warm-up matches. The combination of the experienced George Dockrell and the rookie McBrine could test Zimbabwe, who have tended to struggle against spin in the past.Ireland 1 William Porterfield (capt), 2 Paul Stirling, 3 Ed Joyce, 4 Andrew Poynter, 5 Gary Wilson (wk), 6 Kevin O’Brien, 7 Max Sorensen, 8 Alex Cusack, 9 Tim Murtagh, 10 George Dockrell, 11 Andy McBrine/Stuart ThompsonZimbabwe have brought along two legspinners in Tafadzwa Kamungozi and Natsai M’Shangwe. The 26-year old Kamungozi last played for Zimbabwe back in 2006. Sikandar Raza has opened with Hamilton Masakadza in both the warm-up matches.

When you play against each other in international cricket, everyone knows pretty much everyone.”

India-Pakistan Test series likely in 2015

Pakistan’s conditional support for the ICC revamp hinges on the promise of six series against India, including a ‘home’ series in the Middle East as part of an upcoming, reworked eight-year FTP cycle

The revival of India-Pakistan Test ties could take place in UAE in 2015•ICC

Pakistan’s conditional support for the ICC revamp hinges on the promise of six series against India, including a ‘home’ series in the Middle East as part of an upcoming, reworked eight-year FTP cycle from 2015 to 2023, ESPNcricinfo has learnt.The change in the PCB’s stance has taken place on the condition that Pakistan would be involved in bilateral series against all Full Members, including India. If Indo-Pak series are officially slotted into the eight-year FTP, it could also involve a ‘home’ series for Pakistan against India in the United Arab Emirates.The PCB is now waiting for a final confirmation from the BCCI following its Working Committee meeting, which the PCB have been informed, is expected to take place in the next 15 days. It will then enable the PCB to work out a long-term broadcasting deal with regular India series at its centre.The PCB’s opposition to the ICC’s original position paper that recommended a remodeling of the ICC’s administrative structure and its revenue distribution rested on the argument that it was against the principle of “equality.” However, following certain changes in the resolutions, as well as the possibility of playing India frequently led PCB to support the governance, finance and FTP changes in the ICC, which was driven entirely by the BCCI, ECB and Cricket Australia.ESPNcricinfo understands that all the nine member boards have confirmed their earlier commitments with PCB until 2020 and are chalking out a fresh plan for the period from 2020 to 2023.The BCCI could look to slot in as many as six series against Pakistan, due to the gaps that are available in the existing FTP calendar. The first of these bilateral series could take place in the UAE in the winter of 2015. “Cricket between both countries is beneficial as the Pakistan government is also keen to revive ties with India on a high note,” PCB chairman Najam Sethi said on Friday following the two-day ICC board meeting in Dubai.India and Pakistan have not played a full series since the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, which India blamed on militants based across the border. However, Pakistan visited India for a short limited-over series in December 2012, but despite not getting any revenue out of the series, it was regarded as a stepping stone in reviving cricketing ties between both countries.Since July 2013, Pakistan have been without a long-term broadcasting deal, one of the major sources of income for the PCB. The PCB already had to deal with a long-standing budget-deficit, which in August 2013, was calculated at nearly PKR 500 million. The PCB estimates that after committing to the ICC revamp, the financial benefits could reach PKR 30 billion from the bilateral ties, the major chunk of which will be earned from hosting India.

إيمري: محمد صلاح جعل عودتنا صعبة أمام ليفربول

اعترف أوناي إيمري، المدير الفني لفريق أستون فيلا، بصعوبة العودة في مباراة اليوم ضد ليفربول بعد هدف النجم المصري محمد صلاح.

كان أستون فيلا قد حل ضيفًا على خصمه ليفربول، في ملعب “الأنفيلد” في الجولة الرابعة من الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، حيث فاز الريدز بثلاثية نظيفة.

وتقدم ليفربول بهدفين في الشوط الأول، عن طريق دومينيك سوبوسلاي وماتي كاش بالخطأ في مرمى فريقه.

بينما تعقدت أمور أستون فيلا بعدما سجل محمد صلاح الهدف الثالث، في الدقيقة 55 من عمر المباراة.

وقال أوناي إيمري في تصريحات نشرتها شبكة “بي بي سي” العالمية: “الشوط الأول كان الأساس، كان ليفربول حاسمًا، ربما كنا ضعفاء في بعض القرارات، لعب ذلك دورًا أساسيًا في الشوط الأول”.

وأضاف: “كان الأمر صعبًا عندما كانت النتيجة 2-0، ولكن حاولنا الرد، كانت لدينا فرصتان جيدتان للغاية في بداية الشوط الثاني، ولكن بعد الهدف الثالث (محمد صلاح) كانت العودة صعبة للغاية”.

وواصل: “لقد لعبنا في ظل بعض الظروف، مثل إصابة دييجو كارلوس، ولم نكن حاسمين في بعض المواقف، كانت مباراة صعبة”.

واختتم: “ليفربول فريق جيد جدًا، مرشح ليكون ضمن أصحاب المراكز الأربعة الأولى، كنت متحمسًا لاختبار أدائنا، ولكن اليوم لم نفعل ذلك”.
