England name 13-man squad including Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, with nine players staying on in reserve

Alan Gardner04-Jul-2020

England have opted for continuity ahead of the first Test against West Indies, with every member of their 13-man squad having featured on the tour of South Africa earlier this year. That means Joe Denly is set to retain his place in the batting line-up, while the main decisions will revolve around the make-up of the pace attack.Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, both of whom impressed during England’s warm-up game this week, may be vying for one place, while Chris Woakes is the allrounder option in support of James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Sam Curran, who tested negative for Covid-19 after feeling unwell during the match, is among the nine reserves who will remain with the squad at the Ageas Bowl.Most noteworthy among those missing out were Jonny Bairstow and Moeen Ali, senior members of England’s white-ball squads but overlooked for the Tests. Bairstow had been a contender to come into the side in the absence of Joe Root, England’s Test captain who is missing the game in order to attend the birth of his child, but only managed scores of 11 and 39 in the three-day warm-up; James Bracey and Dan Lawrence, who both caught the eye with half-centuries, have been retained as the back-up batsmen.Dom Bess remains at the head of the pack among England’s spinners, keeping out Jack Leach, who is among the reserves, and Moeen. Bess claimed 3 for 72 in his outings for Team Buttler, while Leach and Moeen went wicketless for Team Stokes in the first innings and then conceded runs at six an over in the second.With Root having already left the camp, and Ben Stokes in line to become England’s 81st Test captain, the selectors have stuck with familiar names for the first of three matches in three weeks against West Indies. Rory Burns returns, having suffered ankle-ligament damage while playing football in South Africa, and seems set to open alongside Dom Sibley, with Denly and Zak Crawley the options to cover for Root’s absence at No. 4.Ollie Pope and Stokes will complete the batting line-up, while Jos Buttler retains the gloves, as head coach Chris Silverwood hinted during the week, with Ben Foakes retained as back-up keeper.In the fast-bowling department, England have Archer and Wood available to provide extra pace – but while there may be a temptation to deploy them together in Test cricket for the first time, Silverwood has previously hinted that they will likely be rotated in order to protect both from wear and tear. Archer has only recently recovered from an elbow stress fracture, having missed three Tests in South Africa and been omitted from the touring party for Sri Lanka in March.Although Broad went wicketless in the Ageas Bowl warm-up, he has been the automatic pick to partner Anderson with the new ball – currently on a run of 51 consecutive Test appearances at home – but Woakes will also have the chance to press his case.With the likelihood that England will have to rotate their seamers in order to keep them fresh – there are only three-day gaps between the Tests – the reserves include two uncapped quicks in Saqib Mahmood and Ollie Robinson, alongside Craig Overton and Olly Stone, who stays on despite not being fit enough to bowl in the warm-up game because of hamstring trouble.England squad for first Test: Ben Stokes (capt), James Anderson, Jofra Archer, Dominic Bess, Stuart Broad, Rory Burns, Jos Buttler, Zak Crawley, Joe Denly, Ollie Pope, Dom Sibley, Chris Woakes, Mark WoodReserves: James Bracey, Sam Curran, Ben Foakes, Dan Lawrence, Jack Leach, Saqib Mahmood, Craig Overton, Ollie Robinson, Olly Stone

Matheus Fernandes foi uma das poucas contratações do clube para a temporada, mas não atua desde o dia 24 de novembro. Por isso, o atleta está realizando trabalhos de pré-temporada e, após sete dias de atividades físicas, foi integrado ao elenco palmeirense para o treino.

Em campo, a comissão técnica não contou com os jogadores titulares contra a Universidad Católica, que realizaram trabalhos regenerativos na parte interna do centro de excelência. Com os nomes disponíveis, foi feito um treinamento de posse de bola em campo reduzido.

عارض روي كين نجم مانشستر يونايتد السابق، وجهة نظر جيمي كاراجر فيما يتعلق بمستقبل محمد صلاح، جناح ليفربول.

ويرى كاراجر أن صلاح ليس لديه الكثير من الخيارات في العروض المقدمة له، والوجهة المحتملة له ستكون الدوري السعودي (طالع تصريحاته كاملة من هنا).

كاراجر أشار كذلك إلى أن مشكلته مع محمد صلاح تتمثل في تصريحات اللاعب علنًا بشأن عدم بدء ليفربول المفاوضات معه.

وقال روي كين في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ميرور” البريطانية: “لا يتعلق الأمر بالصواب أو الخطأ، إذا أراد اللاعب تقديم شيء ما، فهو لاعب ذو خبرة، ويجب أن يكون اللاعبون أنانيين، يجب أن يعتني بنفسه وعليه التفاوض بأفضل طريقة ممكنة”.

وأضاف: “إذا كان هذا يرسل رسائل صغيرة إلى الخارج، فلن أكون قلقلاً بشأن ذلك، لقد كنت هناك وفعلت ذلك، وإذا كان النادي يريد التعاقد معه، فعليه أن يمنحه أي شيء يريده، إنه لاعب جيد للغاية وسيكون لديه الكثير من الخيارات”.

وأتم: “هناك دائمًا مرح وألعاب مع مواقف العقود هذه، خاصة عندما تقترب من نهايتها، المفتاح بالنسبة لي وما أود أن أشيد به فيما يتعلق بـ محمد صلاح، مع كل هذه الانحرافات، هو أنه يلعب بشكل جيد وينتج”.

João Paulo vive um drama pessoal. Recentemente, a mãe do santista iniciou um tratamento contra um câncer.

Silly season is right around the corner, and while their fans will still be getting over another hard-fought but ultimately failed Premier League title bid, Arsenal will be hard at work looking to secure the perfect transfers – just like last year.

Mikel Arteta welcomed Kai Havertz, David Raya, and Declan Rice to the club last summer, and based on the last ten months, it would be hard to describe their moves as anything other than successes.

However, in terms of bang for buck performance, a player they signed in January of last year takes the cake: Leandro Trossard.

The Belgian was unreal this season, racking up 19 goal involvements in all competitions, and based on recent reports, he could be one of the biggest beneficiaries of a big-money transfer that looks close to happening.

Arsenal's striker search

According to a recent report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal have maintained their interest in RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Šeško, and in positive developments, the player is now 'favouring a move' to the Emirates.

The story revealed that cross-city rivals Chelsea had recently made the Slovenian their 'top priority' for new manager Enzo Maresca, but the long-term interest from the Gunners has led to the player preferring a move to North London.

However, the player's desire to don the red and white of Arsenal doesn't mean this will be a cheap deal to complete, as the report confirms that his release clause stands at £55m.

That said, for a 21-year-old forward who has shown genuine promise in one of Europe's top five leagues, that might prove to be a bargain in years to come, and his presence up top could supercharge Trossard.

How Šeško could supercharge Trossard

Last season, Trossard ended the campaign with one goal and ten assists for Arsenal in 22 games, whereas this year, his goal tally has skyrocketed to 17 in 46 games, but his haul of assists has come down to just two.

Now, this must be in part due to instructions from Arteta to take more shots himself, and in that regard, it's been a brilliant tactical change. However, according to Understat, the Belgian has underperformed his expected assists figure in the league by 2.25, and while that's not an enormous number, it is noticeable.

Moreover, his reluctance to play creator this season could also indicate his lack of trust in his teammates' abilities to finish gilt-edge chances, which is borne out in their goals-to-expected goals figures, also per Understat.

For example, while Havertz's return of 13 league goals from an expected figure of 13.47 isn't bad, it isn't outstanding either, and Gabriel Jesus' haul of four league goals from 7.29 is simply not good enough – which is where Šeško comes in.

In his 42 games for Leipzig this season, he scored 18 goals, 14 of which came in the Bundesliga, and according to Understat, from an expected goals figure of just 8.60.

This means the Slovenian "machine man", as dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig, overperformed his xG by a massive 5.4 goals this year, and while it would be surprising to see him maintain such an enormous overperformance in the long term, it's a clear indicator of his finishing ability.

So, it's quite simple, really: if Arteta signs and starts the former Salzburg ace next season as the team's number nine, Trossard and the other creators on the side can reliably expect their assist tallies to rise. He might not be the finished product overall, but Šeško's ability to put away chances cannot be questioned after this season.

The move follows her relocation from Queensland to New South Wales for state cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff17-Aug-2020

Sammy-Jo Johnson has signed for the Sydney Thunder in the Women’s Big Bash to complete a pair of off-season moves following her state switch from Queensland to New South Wales.Seam-bowling allrounder Johnson has been an integral part of the Brisbane Heat’s WBBL success with 38 wickets across their back-to-back titles of the last two seasons. She will join South Africa pace bowler Shabnim Ismail in the Thunder’s attack.”I was really drawn to Thunder’s values,” Johnson said. “I enjoy giving back to the community and having an impact on local clubs and schools, and that’s something I’m really keen to get involved in at Thunder.”There’s so many talented young players in the squad and I think it’s just a matter of guiding them in the right direction and ensuring they know that they can handle any situation that’s thrown at them. Even as a senior player, I’ve still got plenty to learn and I want to continue to evolve as a person and a player.”ALSO READ: Sammy-Jo Johnson: ‘Australia the hardest team in the world to get into at the moment’Johnson has reached the Australia A set-up but has yet to earn an international debut. There could be vacancies for the series against New Zealand, which is scheduled to start at the end of September, depending on the progress of Ellyse Perry and Tayla Vlaeminck from the injuries they suffered at the T20 World Cup.”I think [Australia] is the hardest team in the world to get into at the moment because they are so successful and everyone plays their role,” Johnson told ESPNcricinfo in June. “You don’t want people to get injured, but I feel like it’s your only foot in the door at the moment – which is good because you want that competition. If I can keep churning out consistent performances with the ball and bat I’m hoping going to give the selectors no reason not to pick me.”The WBBL is set to begin on October 17 and run until November 29 although there are expected to be changes to the schedule due to the impact of Covid-19 in some parts of Australia.

Titular ao longo da temporada, a revelação do Tricolor tem o futuro incerto na equipe, já que em sua ausência, o seu reserva Chapecó foi muito bem.

Na última coletiva de imprensa, Felipão preferiu não cravar quem será o seu goleiro e vai decidir ao longo da semana quem fica com o posto.

A única certeza é que a dúvida tem data para encerrar, já que o Tricolor volta a campo no próximo sábado e o duelo contra o São Paulo, no Morumbi, vai revelar quem fica com o posto de goleiro principal.

All the buzz from the IPL 2020 curtain-raiser, on ESPNcricinfo’s live blog

Karthik Krishnaswamy19-Sep-2020

The IPL is back. This particular season might be unusual to the point of being surreal, but the start had elements that fans back in India will find most comforting in their predictability: an opening-game defeat for the Mumbai Indians – who last won their season-opener back in 2012 – dew, and a tactically intriguing chase finished off with MS Dhoni at the crease.Dhoni only faced two balls, though, and didn’t score a run. He made a more significant impact with his batting order, promoting the left-hand pair of Ravindra Jadeja and Sam Curran above himself to exploit an unusually limited Mumbai attack.Before that, though, the chase had been given stability and impetus by Faf du Plessis and Ambati Rayudu, respectively, after the Chennai Super Kings had lost both openers inside the first two overs against Trent Boult and James Pattinson, who got the new ball to nip around under lights in the brief window before dew turned conditions back in the batsmen’s favour. Rayudu and du Plessis added 115 for the third wicket before a superb 16th over from Rahul Chahar brought a sense of balance back into the contest, leaving the Super Kings needing 42 off 24 balls with Rayudu back in the dressing room.We’ll return to the finish later.A rapid start, and two quick blows
Dhoni won the first toss of the season, and inserted Mumbai, citing dew (which did materialise) and the possibility of early moisture in the pitch (which didn’t prove to be such a factor) as his reasons. Rustiness showed in the opening spells from all three Super Kings fast bowlers, and Rohit and Quinton de Kock, in particular, took full toll, moving Mumbai to 45 for 0 after four overs.Piyush Chawla came on for a change of pace and struck immediately, extending Rohit’s curious run of misfortune against legspinners in the IPL – 120 balls, 131 runs, nine dismissals since IPL 2017 – without bowling a particularly wicket-taking ball, Rohit spooning a half-hearted lofted hit into mid-off’s hands. De Kock swatted Curran straight to midwicket in the next over, and the Super Kings were suddenly testing the one big weakness in Mumbai’s line-up – the bridge between their openers and their end-overs hitters.The calm before the non-storm
Suryakumar Yadav and Saurabh Tiwary – playing ahead of Ishan Kishan and getting his first IPL game since 2017 – did that bridging job adequately, putting on 44 in 5.5 overs, the kind of partnership that crops up from time to time in T20 games, somehow pleasing both teams at the same time.The partnership was a prelude to the arrival of Kieron Pollard and the Pandya brothers, and when it ended, at the end of the 11th over, Mumbai were 92 for 3, with enough time and resources left for a push towards a total in the 180-200 range.Mumbai seemed well on course when Pandya hit two sixes, off Jadeja, in his first five balls, and Tiwary muscled back-to-back fours in the next over, off Lungi Ngidi. They were still well placed, at 121 for 3, after a quiet 14th over from Chawla, who used his googly cleverly and kept the ball just short of a safely hittable length.But two perfectly judged catches from du Plessis right on the edge of the boundary – at long-on for Tiwary and long-off for Pandya – sent both batsmen back in the 15th over, bowled by Jadeja. The boundaries in Abu Dhabi and Dubai are considerably longer than the ones at the Wankhede and in most Indian grounds, and this was the first bit of evidence of how that might influence this tournament.Then, at the start of the 17th over, Krunal Pandya tickled a harmless delivery from Ngidi for a catch down the leg side, and Mumbai suddenly had just Pollard and the lower order at the crease. Without any grand plans from the Super Kings, and without the batting team doing anything egregiously wrong, the innings was unravelling. Only 26 came off the last 24 balls of Mumbai’s innings, and only 41 off their last 36, for the loss of six wickets.Rayudu, du Plessis rebuild after new-ball burstBefore the tournament began, a lot of the talk was around how the pitches in the UAE would slow down through constant use and assist spinners more and more. Perhaps to prevent or delay that outcome, this pitch had a healthy layer of grass on it, and Mumbai’s new-ball pair of Trent Boult and James Pattinson took whatever help they could out of it – and whatever early swing they could find – to dismiss Shane Watson and M Vijay, both lbw to balls that deviated into them from Test-match lengths.At 6 for 2 after two overs, and without Suresh Raina, this was a sticky spot for the Super Kings. But the asking rate was still manageable, and they managed it with an old-fashioned sort of partnership: du Plessis simply turned the strike over at his end, an approach that didn’t put his team under too much pressure thanks to Rayudu’s ball-striking form at the other end.There were a couple of early moments that went the Super Kings’ way. Jasprit Bumrah bowled a wide half-tracker that Rayudu slapped for four, and that ball – which should have been the last ball of the Powerplay – turned out to be a no-ball. The free-hit was short too, and Rayudu, expecting that length, sat deep in his crease, stayed leg-side of the ball, and flat-batted it for a big six over wide long-on.Then, in the 10th over, an inside-edged sweep-pull from Rayudu dribbled past the diving Bumrah at short fine leg – a more athletic fielder would probably have stopped it. Next ball, Boult – one of the world’s best outfielders – misfielded at the cover boundary to give away another four.Along with all this, Rayudu kept pulling off some audacious hits: a clean, baseball-style swipe over midwicket after Krunal Pandya had spotted him advancing and pulled his length back; a flat-bat slap off Bumrah that nearly took the bowler’s hand off; an inside-out drive over extra-cover off Rahul Chahar.With du Plessis only going at a run a ball at the other end, though, Mumbai were still in the game, just about. Then Rahul Chahar, running up in a reverse diagonal across the umpire and delivering his legbreaks just short of a length, dismissed Rayudu and conceded just five runs in the 16th over, leaving the Super Kings 42 to get off 24 balls.Dhoni aces the match-upsHardik Pandya was playing his first competitive game since September 2019, having undergone back surgery in the interim, and was evidently not yet fit enough to bowl. Rohit did not use Pollard either, on a truer pitch than the ones the West Indian had bowled on in the CPL. This meant Mumbai had only five bowling options, and the left-arm spinner Krunal Pandya to bowl the 18th over, with the Super Kings needing 29 at that stage.Krunal wasn’t bowling to Dhoni, as might be expected in such a situation, but the left-handed Jadeja who had been promoted just for this match-up.A quicker ball trapped Jadeja first up, and Dhoni sent in another left-hander, Curran. He clattered the fourth ball of the over – a full-toss – over midwicket for six, and slapped the next one – wide of off stump but not wide enough to be out of his reach – to the cover boundary.Curran followed up with a leg-side six off Jasprit Bumrah at the start of the next over, and with less than a run a ball needed now, the contest was over. Dhoni, in the end, almost only had to pad up for ceremonial reasons.The match as it happened
