Mumbai Indians coach Ricky Ponting said that his side’s inability to maintain momentum in the middle overs of a 165-run chase against Delhi Daredevils was one of the main factors for their 10-run loss in Delhi

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Apr-2016Mumbai Indians coach Ricky Ponting said that his side’s inability to maintain momentum in the middle overs of a 165-run chase against Delhi Daredevils was one of the main factors for their 10-run loss in Delhi.Mumbai were 52 for 1 at the end of the Powerplay, and a comfortable 98 for 2 in 12 overs with Rohit Sharma and Krunal Pandya at the crease. However, Daredevils’ bowlers, particularly legspinner Amit Mishra, dragged them back and a five-over period between the 13th and 17th overs saw Mumbai score only 25 runs. Ponting felt that Rohit, who eventually scored 65 before his run-out in the last over, struggled to get going in that period.Try to bowl yorkers as fast as I can – Morris

Delhi Daredevils’ quick bowler Chris Morris, who defended 20 runs off the final over against Mumbai Indians on Saturday, praised his captain Zaheer Khan’s strategies in the end overs of the match. A string of quiet overs from Daredevils’ spinners had stifled Mumbai’s chase of 165 leaving them with an equation of 42 off the last three overs, which were bowled by Morris and Zaheer.
“If it was left to me I would have bowled my third over at [Kieron] Pollard as soon as he came in [the 15th over with Mumbai at 110 for 4], but Zak (Zaheer Khan) being the genius that he is, decided that he would save me for the end with himself,” Morris told . “A genius move by the man; it came off today, it could have backfired horribly. But he has played so many games of cricket and taken so many wickets in his career for a reason. He is very experienced and I think he was brilliant today.”
On his role as an end-overs bowler, Morris said he stuck to a simple plan: “I try and stay calm, believe in what I do and bowl my yorkers as fast as I can. So there might be simple things, but for me I am here to bowl yorkers and bowl fast. That’s basically the plan and, luckily, today it counted for me.”

“It felt like we had control of that game for most of the 40 overs. Even with the ball, it didn’t feel like it got away from us at any stage until I guess, the last couple of overs,” Ponting told . “We were well ahead in our batting and in the Powerplay, we were 50-odd, so we were well ahead at that stage, and we had wickets in hand.”Rohit just couldn’t get going in the middle stages of the innings. From the sidelines it felt like he was a bit deprived of the strike as well and momentum just stopped a little bit. Mishra bowled a great spell and then Morris at the end with his yorkers was very good. I think we went for 17 from our last bowling over as well (Mumbai conceded 16), and these games are decided by small margins. Tonight, we were just a little bit off at crucial times and that probably cost us the game.”The middle-overs slump left Mumbai needing 32 off the last two overs and 21 off the final one. Rohit struck a six off the second ball of the 20th over, bowled by Chris Morris, but a ball later, a mid-pitch collision with Hardik Pandya resulted in his dismissal and he had to be helped off the field by the team physio. That dismissal sealed Mumbai’s fourth loss in six matches, leaving them in the bottom half of the table.One positive for Mumbai from the game was another strong performance from Krunal. The allrounder was promoted to No. 4 and cracked a 17-ball 36, which included four fours and two sixes. Playing in his debut IPL season, Krunal has been effective with the bat and his left-arm spin, taking three wickets and scoring 105 runs at a strike rate of 187.5 in three innings. On Saturday, Ponting lauded the allrounder for his fearless approach that forced Daredevils to tweak their tactics.”He was going well at that stage. I had sent him in to try and attack the legspin and he did that well. It forced Zaheer to bring himself back and an over of [Mohammed] Shami as well. Tactically, it worked well and he’s a fearless young player. The couple of times he’s had an opportunity early in the innings, he’s done really well for us. That [Pandya’s run-out] was costly, but you can never put your finger on one instance in a T20 that cost you the game.”

The occasion of international cricket’s return to Pakistan was made merrier by the opening pair of Mukhtar Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad as they tore into and broke down Zimbabwe’s challenging 172 for 6, to ensure the side, playing at home after six years, won

The Report by Mohammad Isam22-May-2015
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThe occasion of international cricket’s return to Pakistan was made merrier by the opening pair of Mukhtar Ahmed and Ahmed Shehzad as they tore into and broke down Zimbabwe’s challenging 172 for 6, to ensure the side, playing at home after six years, won by five wickets.Their 142-run stand equalled the opening partnership between Salman Butt and Kamran Akmal against Bangladesh in the 2010 World T20 but the one at the Gaddafi Stadium will be counted as more special. The March 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka team bus, outside this very cricket stadium, had taken international cricket away from them.The full house was fully entertained by the newcomer Mukhtar, who made 83 off 45 balls. His dozen boundaries were hit off a bowling attack which lacked a leader and a strong attacker but Mukhtar did what he had to do. He was severe on everything straight and on his legs, nine of his 12 fours coming through fine-leg, midwicket and long-on. He reached 50 off 34 balls and left the more recognised Shehzad far behind.Shehzad didn’t miss out though, getting to his fifty in the 12th over. He struck some brutal hits down the ground but was generous enough to let Mukhtar do all the hitting. The pair fell in consecutive overs – Shehzad gave a catch to point, while Mukhtar hit straight to long-on – but the crowd was fully entertained for one hour by the pair.After the Mukhtar-Shehzad partnership, Pakistan lost three more wickets before captain Shahid Afridi struck a straight boundary to complete the win with three balls to spare.The start of the evening, too, will remain memorable. The crowd started to enter the stadium more than two hours before the first ball and it was a full house when Shahid Afridi and Elton Chigumbura strode out to the toss, held seven minutes earlier as the Pakistan president Mamnoon Hussain met with both squads. Afridi gave one last pep talk before the hosts raced to the turf.The first ball was a fuller length delivery from Anwar Ali that crashed into Hamilton Masakadza’s pad. The pace bowler didn’t appeal, but an appeal wouldn’t have been out of place given the drama of the occasion. Masakadza then got to work with a string of boundaries but he failed to keep the crowd’s noise down. A gap of six years for an international game kept them animated even as they fanned themselves with the four and six placards.Masakadza got seven fours and a six in his 27-ball 43, cutting, lap-sweeping and forcing fours through point, midwicket, fine-leg and mid-off. His only six was a high pull off Bilawal Bhatti over square-leg in the third over. Vusi Sibanda was nondescript at the other end with 13 off 15 balls.Their 58-run stand ended in the seventh over when Sibanda top-edged Mohammad Sami for 13 and next ball, Pakistan’s comeback man – playing his first international match since July 2012 – got Masakadza to inside-edge on to the stumps. The noise was at a maximum but despite that, and the regular wickets, their fielding errors slightly blotted the occasion. A few outfielders dived over the ball, Sarfraz missed two stumpings, including that of Chigumbura when he was on eight, and Riaz dropping a skier off his own bowling.Charles Coventry, another comeback story of the day, was given caught-behind though TV replays showed the ball appeared to hit his bicep on the way to the wicketkeeper. Chigumbura, meanwhile, kept the pace set by Masakadza with timely boundaries. Zimbabwe’s tally of 58 in the last five overs was mostly his doing.Chigumbura’s late onslaught began with a top-edged four off Bhatti before fours were squeezed past point and inside-edged. He added blasts over point, midwicket and extra cover off Riaz’s third over before flicking Sami’s full-toss to reach his second T20 fifty, making 54 off 35 balls.Sikandar Raza struck a high six over midwicket before falling in the 17th over but he helped Chigumbura add 42 for the fifth wicket in just 4.2 overs.Malik was the most economical bowler with 1 for 12 from three overs while Sami took 3 for 36. Riaz finished with two wickets but he was too wayward for a bowler leading the attack.Zimbabwe’s bowlers too were poor for most of the Pakistan innings, though Cremer looked happy with his two wickets while Williams and Brian Vitori took one wicket apiece.For the fans and the team, it was a joyous occasion, a chance to cherish a match played in their home. International cricket in Pakistan came to a halt in Lahore and it is here that Zimbabwe’s tour got underway, with a win for the home team.

ظهر بيب جوارديولا المدير الفني لفريق مانشستر سيتي، في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة للحديث عن مواجهة تشيلسي بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز.

وسيحل مانشستر سيتي ضيفًا على تشيلسي بملعب “ستامفورد بريدج” ضمن مواجهات الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز “البريميرليج”.

وقال جوارديولا عن تشيلسي: “إنهم يتحسنون، نادي جديد، لاعبين جدد، عاجلاً وليس آجلاً، سيكونون من أفضل المنافسين، فالجودة موجودة في جميع الأقسام”.

جوارديولا علّق على مواجهة لاعبه السابق كول بالمر الذي انتقل من مانشستر سيتي إلى تشيلسي، وقال: “سعيد حقًا لأجله، أحد أسباب مغادرته هو وقت اللعب وقد حصل عليه، لذا تهانينا له، إنه يلعب بشكل جيد وكل التوفيق له، تهانينا لتشيلسي وله”.

وعن رحيم ستيرلينج، أكمل: “إنه يلعب بشكل جيد حقًا، لقد عاد في أفضل لحظاته مما رأيته مؤخرًا، ما فعله هنا من أجلنا في السنوات الأولى كان مهمًا حقًا”.

وعن المقارنة بين الوقت الحالي والموسم الأول لبوتشيتينو كمدرب في الدوري الإنجليزي، علّق جوارديولا: “ذلك منذ وقت طويل ونسيت ما حدث في الموسم الأول ولم أكن هناك، لا أستطع الإجابة”.

وسُئل مجددًا عن تشيلسي، وأفاد: “الإنجاز هو ما قمنا به وليس الأندية الأخرى، تشيلسي هو أحد أهم الفرق في إنجلترا، لقد فازوا بدوري أبطال أوروبا مع توخيل ضدنا، إنه أحد أقوى الفرق، لا شك في ذلك”.

واختتم: “لديهم روح جيدة، عدوانية، وأنماط جيدة، إنها واحدة من أصعب المباريات التي نخوضها هذا الموسم ولكننا لا نزال متفائلين، نحن في صدارة الدوري الآن وعلينا الحفاظ على جودة المباراة، لكن عاجلاً أم آجلاً سيقاتل تشيلسي من أجل اللقب، لا شك في ذلك”.

Verdão objetivo
Jogando em casa, o Grêmio tentou administrar o começo da partida na Arena do Grêmio. E, de fato, conseguiu ter mais posse de bola do que o Palmeiras. O Tricolor chegou a ter mais de 70% do domínio do jogo. Mas, quem mais assustava, desde o começo, era o Verdão. Um pouco mais recuado e vendo os donos da casa tocarem a bola sem conseguir chegar perto da sua área, o Palmeiras apertava a marcação na sua intermediária e apostava nos contra-ataques.

Assim, o time de Felipão chegou ao seu gol logo aos 13 minutos de jogo. Na frente da área de defesa, Thiago Santos roubou a bola de Thaciano e já acionou Raphael Veiga, que tocou para Hyoran pelo lado esquerdo. O meia achou Dudu entrando livre pela direita. O atacante cortou David Braz e finalizou no canto, sem chance para Julio César. Foi o quinto gol de Dudu no Brasileiro.

Panorama não muda
Após o gol do Palmeiras, O Grêmio continuou tentando controlar a partida, mas sem muita objetividade. Além do gol, as melhores chances do primeiro tempo foram do Palmeiras. Borja quase marcou aos 31. Após uma lambança da zaga do Grêmio, a bola sobrou para o colombiano, que tentou tirar de Julio César, mas o goleiro espalmou para escanteio. Aos 36, o Palmeiras chegou a colocar mais uma bola na rede com Hyoran, de cabeça, mas o gol foi anulado por impedimento de Borja no começo da jogada. A etapa inicial terminou com o Grêmio com mais de 67% de posse de bola, mas apenas duas finalizações, enquanto o Verdão teve nove.

Volta sem muita emoção
O segundo tempo da partida começou de maneira parecida com o primeiro, com o Grêmio com mais posse de bola. Mas, diferente do que aconteceu nos primeiros 45 minutos, o Palmeiras não conseguiu encaixar mais seus contra-ataques. Mas, de novo, quem chegou com mais perigo foi o Verdão. Aos 9 minutos, Hyoran quase ampliou o placar após belo passe de Dudu, mas foi travado na hora da finalização por David Braz.

Grêmio melhora e empata
Perdendo o jogo em casa, o técnico Renato Portaluppi lançou o time para o ataque e colocou Everton e Luciano em campo. Mas, quando tudo levava a crer que o Palmeiras conseguiria os três pontos, o zagueiro David Braz arriscou um chute de muito longe, aos 42, e acertou o ângulo de Weverton. Os jogadores do Verdão ficaram na bronca pois, no início do lance, o árbitro errou a marcação de um lateral. Mas ficou por isso mesmo e a partida ficou no 1 a 1.

O empate em 1 a 1 com o Corinthians, neste domingo, em Itaquera, pela 13ª rodada do Brasileirão frustrou as pretensões do Palmeiras de se aproximar do líder Santos. O resultado não ajudou a melhorar o clima com a torcida alviverde, que cobra o time pela queda de rendimento após a pausa para a Copa América. Os últimos dias foram de tensão e protestos em tom de ameaças. Após a partida, o técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari não quis comentar as manifestações dos torcedores e negou rumores de que teria intenções de pedir demissão do cargo. Para ele, a equipe mostrou melhora nos últimos três jogos. O treinador está confiante na recuperação da equipe e na volta dos bons resultados e atuações.

–Quem te disse? Ouviram boatos. Então, está esclarecido. Quem cria deve ter algum interesse. Eu estou contente, tenho meu time para trabalhar, a comissão. Gosto do Palmeiras. Quem cria, responde para vocês. Eu não tenho nada para responder.Sobre a manifestação, nada a falar. Nos últimos três jogos voltamos a ter posicionamento, imposição física e parte técnica bem organizada.Eu vejo a minha equipe, o Palmeiras, melhorando dia a dia. Não foi bem nos primeiros vinte dias depois da Copa América, mas os últimos três jogos não tenho nada a cobrar, a não ser posicionamento de bola aérea que não acontecia. A mensagem que eu deixo é essa – disse o treinador.

Sobre a partida, Felipão analisou como equilibrada e elogiou a atuação do goleiro rival Cássio e pregou respeito ao Corinthians. O treinador também gostou da entrada de Zé Rafael, no segundo tempo.

– Acho que foi um belo jogo. As duas equipes se apresentaram bem. Nós tivemos quatro oportunidades mais vivas de gol. Mas do outro lado, temos que saber que tem um Cássio. Além de uma pessoa íntegra, é um grande goleiro. Saímos contentes também, sabemos respeitar a equipe do Corinthians. Nos dez primeiros minutos eu acho que o Palmeiras foi bem. Em alguns momentos algumas coisas não saíram como queríamos. Cartão amarelo para o Diogo, que não pode ficar como último homem. Coisinhas que temos que corrigir. O Zé Rafael entrou muito bem no jogo de hoje, vem crescendo nos trabalhos das semanas. Ao ser substituído, trabalha mais e nos dá mais opção – analisou.

O treinador pediu calma e mostrou confiança na recuperação da equipe no Campeonato Brasileiro. A chegada dos reforços no ataque é vista com bons olhos pelo comandante alviverde.

– Com nove rodadas, já falavam que ganhamos o campeonato, mas tinham setenta pontos para disputar. Tem muito ponto, muita coisa vai acontecer, calma. Temos uma boa equipe, recebendo o Vitor Hugo, o Luiz Adriano amanhã, o Dourado, que vem se recuperando. Então está ótimo, devagar vamos chegando. Estamos pensando em dois atacantes também. Quando chegar o Luiz Adriano, ele já jogou com um atacante do lado dele fazendo esse trabalho. Podemos fazer porque temos jogadores. Só que não vamos ter muito tempo. Tentamos com Willian e Deyverson hoje. Tentamos com Willian e Borja no jogo do Godoy Cruz, lá.

O treinador também anunciou que só vai passar a dar entrevistas em caso de derrotas ou empates. Nas vitórias a função ficará com o auxiliar Paulo Turra.

– Semana que vem, quem vai dar entrevista para vocês é o Paulo Turra. Quando ganhar, é o Paulo Turra que vai dar entrevista. Quando perder ou empatar, sou eu. O chefe decidiu – concluiu.

O Palmeiras volta a campo no próximo domingo, às 16h, quando recebe o Bahia, no Allianz Parque, às 16h, pela 14ª rodada.

ScorecardNick Compton was bowled by Tim Murtagh but Middlesex couldn’t capitalise•Getty Images

It might be pushing the truth a little to claim that Craig Kieswetter was blind but now can see, but the Somerset keeper has admitted he feared his career might be over after sustaining a serious eye injury a little over two months ago.Kieswetter sustained a broken nose and fractured orbital socket after he was struck by a short ball from David Willey on July 12. For three weeks it was unclear whether he would regain the level of sight required to pursue a career in cricket. But now, with the double-vision having cleared, Kieswetter regards the whole experience as positive and claims it gave him not only a fuller appreciation of his position as a professional sportsman, but also of the affection in which players are held at a friendly, well-supported club like Somerset.”Once the extent of the injury became clear, I was panicking,” Kieswetter said. “There was a week before the surgery and two weeks after that I was worried that I might not play again.”For the first 90 minutes I was full of adrenalin. But then, as I was passed from surgeon to surgeon and it became clear there was an issue with my optical floor, I was panicking. But my surgeon did a fantastic job and I have been overwhelmed and humbled by the support I have received.”I had double vision in one eye for a couple of weeks after surgery and, even now, it is not 100% when I look directly up. It takes time to get over the injury and the trauma.”Sometimes as players, we can be a bit aloof towards supporters. But the care I had showed what a special club this is to be around. It is a special thing for a player to feel that sense of belonging.”I might be walking down the street or out for dinner and people I didn’t know would come up and ask how I was. Even the reception when I walked out to bat today gave me goose-bumps. It’s important I return the favour. I was delighted to give something back today.”Kieswetter “gave something back” by providing the most fluent batting of a day which ended with Somerset having edged Middlesex a little closer to relegation. Contributing 70 at little less than a run-a-ball, he made light of an unusually green wicket and, when greeted with the inevitable short ball near the start of his innings by Toby Roland-Jones, responded by pulling it for six. No matter that there was something of the top-edge in the stroke, he played it with conviction and was soon timing the ball sweetly through the covers.With Tom Abell and James Hildreth also contributing patient half-centuries, Middlesex, were restricted to one bowling bonus point despite inserting Somerset in overcast conditions.Middlesex have another 14 overs on the second day in order to claim more bonus points – they require a maximum of 13 more points from their final two games to ensure Division One survival – but are now in an uncomfortable position ahead of their final game against the other relegation candidates, Lancashire, next week. After winning four of their first six matches, Middlesex have failed to win any of their last eight, with the last victory coming on May 21.They were a little unfortunate here, though. Ball beat bat regularly in the first session and, with 17 of the first 34 overs maidens, batting became a pretty desperate fight for survival.”We didn’t get out rewards today,” Richard Johnson, the Middlesex bowling coach, said. “We reckon they must have played and missed 50 or 60 times, but it was just one of those days.”But Middlesex also squandered at least two chances. Abell was reprieved on 4, when Eoin Morgan put down a sharp chance at third slip, and 28 – Dawid Malan, at second slip, the guilty man on this occasion. A couple of other chances dropped just short of the cordon on a surface which, despite the grass covering, remains slow and dry.There were moments when it appeared Middlesex might capitalise. Certainly after Marcus Trescothick guided one to gully and Nick Compton was bowled by one that nipped back, and then when Abell was run-out backing-up off Neil Dexter’s boot, it seemed Somerset might subside. But each time they found a player to dig them out of trouble, first Abell, with a 123-ball half-century, and then Hildreth, with a 130-ball half-century.Only Kieswetter looked comfortable, though. After returning to the nets a couple of weeks ago with batting coach, David Houghton, Kiesweeter regained his confidence against tennis balls and has gradually built up the pace and intensity of net sessions. He still retains hopes of winning a late call to the England World Cup squad, but aims to play in the Big Bash if that proves beyond him.”I wouldn’t be playing if I didn’t think I could still play at that level,” he said. “And my personality is such that I always like I should be playing for England. But having had this time to reflect on everything – the injury, being dropped by England and everything else – I realise I am one of those lucky people who earns a living doing something they truly love. It’s the game I fell in love with as a kid.”A lot of players forget that perspective check. I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I have seen the bigger picture. Hopefully the whole experience has made me mature. I hope I’ve improved as a person and as a cricketer.”Another man coming to terms with trauma and disappointment – albeit of a very different characteristic – is Ashley Giles. Giles admits he lost his appetite for coaching for a while after missing out to Peter Moores in the race to be appointed England coach, but is now recovering his enthusiasm for the job.He is expected to visit Taunton at some stage this week with a view to talking to the club about the role of director of cricket. It is worth noting, though, that it took Giles five years to transform Warwickshire from rabble to Championship winners. Whether Somerset, a club impatient for success after years of near-misses, will provide such time remains to be seen.

Batsman Neil Broom is set to end his nine-season stint with Otago and return to Canterbury, where he had made his first-class debut back in February 2003

ESPNcricinfo staff22-Jun-2014Batsman Neil Broom is set to end his nine-season stint with Otago and return to Canterbury, where he had made his first-class debut back in February 2003.Broom joined Otago from the 2005-06 season and has been an important part of the side ever since. In nine seasons for Otago, Broom played 77 first-class matches for 4617 runs at an average of 41.59 with 12 centuries. His next first-class game, his first on return to Canterbury, will be his 100th.Broom, who has played 22 ODIs and 10 T20 internationals for New Zealand, was also a valuable member of the Otago limited-overs sides, and played 67 one-day matches and 64 T20s for them.”I have really enjoyed my time in Dunedin and would like to thank Otago Cricket for the opportunities they gave me,” Broom said. “I hold the place very close to my heart after spending nine great years in Dunedin. However the time is right for me to return to Christchurch with my family.””Neil has made a wonderful contribution to Otago Cricket since he moved down nine years ago,” said Ross Dykes, the Otago Cricket CEO. “His record speaks for itself but one can never speak of Neil’s batting without fondly recalling his remarkable century against Perth Scorchers at Jaipur in the Champions League in 2013. He leaves a big hole in all forms of cricket but we wish him and his family the very best for their future and thank him sincerely for all that he gave Otago on and off the field.”

O atual campeão brasileiro começa a sua luta pelo bicampeonato ainda mais forte. O técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari viu a diretoria segurar o atacante Dudu e o volante Bruno Henrique, principais nomes na conquista da competição do ano passado, e ainda recebeu reforços, sendo o meia-atacante Ricardo Goulart o mais renomado. A equipe tem o torneio nacional como uma prioridade.

INVICTO HÁ MAIS DE UM TURNO

O Verdão ficou com o título brasileiro no ano passado estabelecendo o recorde de invencibilidade nos pontos corridos: não perdeu as 23 últimas rodadas. O time ainda teve o melhor turno da história do torneio nesse modelo, com 14 vitórias e cinco empates, superando o Corinthians do primeiro turno de 2017 no saldo de gols (24 contra 23). Essa campanha, com82,4% de aproveitamento, também representa o melhor segundo turno nos pontos corridos com a competição disputada por 20 clubes, como ocorre desde 2006. O time ainda tevea maior sequência de vitórias jogando como mandante: 13 partidas.

ATRÁS DO BICAMPEONATO

Em 2018, o Palmeiras montou um elenco que deu a Felipão a chance de fazer uma intensa alternância de escalações sem perder força, tanto que foi campeão brasileiro e semifinalista de Libertadores e Copa do Brasil, jogando os três torneios paralelamente. Os planos não mudaram: o Brasileiro segue como prioridade, com a meta de ir mais longe ainda nas competições de mata-mata.

OPINIÃO DO SETORISTA

Por mais que sofra críticas por seu estilo de jogo, o Palmeiras é consistente e raramente perde. Exatamente o que costuma ser necessário para ficar com o título brasileiro. O elenco farto ainda ajuda Felipão a não sentir tanto qualquer desfalque por lesão ou suspensão, diminuindo o risco de acumular tropeços que custam a briga pela ponta da tabela. Pode até não atuar bonito como se espera, mas o Verdão faz o suficiente para buscar o bicampeonato.
