Kieron Pollard, the West Indies allrounder, will renew his association with South Australia after signing with the Adelaide Strikers for the Big Bash League

ESPNcricinfo staff11-Jul-2011

Brett Lee is expected to remain in Sydney during the Big Bash League and appears destined for the SCG-based Sydney Sixers. Lee is not interested in moving interstate during the tournament and is understood to be close to reaching an agreement with his former Test team-mate, Stuart Clark, who is general manager of the Sixers.Although the deal is not yet complete, the Sixers have nearly a fortnight to secure Lee, with the initial BBL contracting period set to end on July 22. Some teams have already named near-complete squads, but the Sixers need to lock in at least seven more players by the end of next week, and a further four before the tournament starts in December.Meanwhile, Kieron Pollard, the West Indies allrounder, will renew his association with South Australia after signing with the Adelaide Strikers. Pollard spent the past two summers playing Twenty20 for the Redbacks and he will be back in Adelaide later this year as the first of the Strikers’ overseas players.”I love the relaxed environment in Adelaide. I travel with my girlfriend and little boy and it’s important for me to bring them to a safe and welcoming place,” Pollard said. “Although it will be a bit different, I feel I’ll be able to relate strongly to the Strikers. We’ve been successful, and I’ve enjoyed my cricket when I’ve been in Adelaide. The management has gone out of their way for me and I want to continue to repay their faith in me.”The side missed out on the services of Shahid Afridi, who also had a prior association with South Australia but chose to sign with the Melbourne Renegades to play with his Pakistan team-mate Abdul Razzaq. Eight of the 16 possible overseas recruits have now been named for the BBL.James Hopes, the Queensland captain, has signed with the Brisbane Heat. “I’m really excited to have someone who has been a superstar for Queensland for many years in our side,” the Heat coach, Darren Lehmann, said. “Hopesy’s all-round capabilities on and off the ground are exceptional.”The Hobart Hurricanes have named New South Wales batsman Phil Jaques, Queensland seamer Ben Laughlin and Tasmania offspinner Jason Krejza as their final signings of the contract window. The Hurricanes have confirmed 17 of their 18 players and will wait until later in the year to add a final player to the list.The squads so far

Pascall Roberts, the former Trinidad bowler and selector, died on June 20 at the age of 73

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Jun-2011Pascall Roberts, the former Trinidad bowler and selector, died on June 20 at the age of 73. Roberts played 67 first-class matches and represented Paragon Cricket Club in the 1960s and 1970s, and after his retirement worked towards the development of Trinidad cricket. He was part of the West Indies squad that toured England in 1969, but never got his Test cap.Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) president Azim Bassarath said Roberts was an icon of T&T cricket. “Pascall Roberts contributed much to the development of the club and helped establish Trinidad and Tobago as a regional powerhouse. The cricket fraternity has lost one of its loyal servants.”Dinanath Ramnarine, president of the West Indies Players’ Association and a former T&T player, praised Roberts’ contributions as a national selector. “Roberts always remained involved in the game in Trinidad and Tobago and would always have good, sage advice for young men like myself who wanted to dedicate our lives to cricket the way he did.”Roberts started his career as a left-arm seam bowler and took 5 for 79 on his first-class debut, against Barbados. He later changed to left-arm spin, and formed a partnership with offspinner Jack Noreiga. He took 211 wickets in 67 first-class matches in a career spanning almost 20 years.Ronald Faria, who played alongside Roberts in the Paragon team, said he was a hard-working cricketer. “I played with Pascall at Paragon for close to 15 years and he could always be relied upon to give 100%,” Faria said. “He formed a deadly spin attack in tandem with Jack Noreiga and helped Paragon win Championship titles three years in a row.”

The PCB has cranked up the pressure in its dispute with Shahid Afridi by beginning formal disciplinary procedures against the former captain, even as political pressure is brought to bear on the board to resolve the dispute

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Jun-2011

The PCB has cranked up the pressure in its dispute with Shahid Afridi by beginning formal disciplinary procedures against the former captain, even as political pressure is brought to bear on the board to resolve the dispute. The board has, as expected, set up a three-member disciplinary committee and directed Afridi to appear before it on June 8, at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.The committee will be chaired by Sultan Rana, director of domestic cricket, and will include Shafiq Ahmed, general manager of domestic cricket, and Usman Wahla, manager of international cricket. Taffazul Rizvi, the board’s legal advisor, will assist the committee.An unusually detailed board press release on Thursday evening spelt out the formal process. A statement from a senior board official also sought to make clear precisely what the issue was, an indication of the fairly high stakes of a very high-profile dispute and the subsequent need to be as transparent as possible.The board said it had responded to Afridi’s defense, in which he had admitted to violating the PCB’s code of conduct by announcing his retirement to the media. “It is painful for us to get involved in a dispute with a cricketer who has been the national team captain until the West Indies series,” PCB COO Subhan Ahmed said in the release. “There are numerous contributions by Shahid Afridi to Pakistan cricket. But I think people need to understand that this is purely a disciplinary issue.”As the body managing cricket in the country we are duty-bound to maintain discipline at all levels. We will ensure that Shahid is given every opportunity to express and defend himself and as such the disciplinary process has been clearly spelt out to avoid any ambiguities”.This administration has sought at every opportunity to strangle what it sees as burgeoning player power; last year they banned or fined seven top players after the Australia tour. Two of them, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf, spent protracted periods out of the side thereafter. But Afridi is a different kettle of fish, not only because he was a captain with some positive results to show, but because of his immense popularity across most of the land; no other player in the side comes close.For this reason, the dispute has become politicised. The day began with Rehman Malik, the country’s interior minister, pledging to get involved in the matter, “I will do whatever I can to resolve this issue, as I am equally a fan of Afridi,” Malik tweeted. ESPNcricinfo understands that pressure has been put on the board from his side but that it has so far been resisted.Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, is also politically well-covered – he is appointed directly by the President of the country and board patron Asif Ali Zardari. But the board believes its case, in this matter, to be strong enough to not warrant political intervention from their side, for now at least. Malik has success in such matters in the past, having mediated a peace between former chairman Nasim Ashraf and Shoaib Akhtar in 2008.As part of the disciplinary proceedings, the committee will frame charges, record evidence and hear arguments before announcing its order. Afridi will be allowed to file an appeal against the order, through an appellate tribunal comprising an independent panel of arbitrators maintained by the PCB, and their ruling on the matter would be final.While announcing his ‘conditional’ retirement, Afridi lashed out at the current board and has brewed up a number of storms; he has hit out at former Test opener and current selector Mohammad Ilyas, as well as playing up the regionalism card by attacking a “Lahore lobby” behind his removal. In some reports he has also criticised Intikhab Alam, the team manager. These comments, it is understood, have hardened the board’s stance and resolve in ensuring the disciplinary process is followed through to a logical and legal end.The developments further reduce the chances of Afridi playing for Hampshire in the Friends Life t20; the PCB suspended Afridi’s contract, slapped him with a showcause notice, and revoked the No-Objection Certificate that would have allowed him to turn out for Hampshire. Afridi, keen to get the Hampshire situation resolved quickly, admitted to violating the code and stated his willingness to participate in further disciplinary action. Hampshire have urged the PCB to reconsider the withdrawal of the NOC, but at this stage it looks unlikely.

O São Paulo mudou os planos e decidiu abrir para a imprensa o treino desta sexta-feira, no CT da Barra Funda. E os trabalhos tiveram uma novidade importante: Militão participou integralmente da atividade, sem nenhuma restrição do recente incômodo muscular que sentiu, e pode ficar à disposição do técnico Diego Aguirre diante do Bahia, no domingo.

Militão relatou incômodo muscular e, por isso, não enfrentou o Atlético-MG, no sábado, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro, nem o Rosario Central, da Argentina, na quarta-feira, pela Copa Sul-Americana. Mas não indicou nenhuma limitação na manhã desta sexta-feira, em seu primeiro dia de trabalho no campo depois do problema físico.

A manhã teve trabalhos técnicos para quem não atuou integralmente na quarta-feira. Os titulares diante do Rosario Central foram a campo somente para correr, realizando atividades físicas. Jucilei, Régis, Nenê e Petros ainda terminaram o período jogando futmesa, espécie de tênis usando os pés em uma mesa.

No campo, Aguirre e seus auxiliares comandaram atividades técnicas. Além de Militão, Rodrigo Caio, que já vem treinando com o elenco desde quinta-feira, também trabalhou sem restrições – o zagueiro é desfalque há três partidas por entorse no pé esquerdo, mas tem boas chances até de ser titular no domingo.

No treinamento, Aguirre trabalhou jogadas ofensivas. Sem dar nenhum esboço da escalação do fim de semana, dividiu o grupo em dois times que não se enfrentavam. Colocou estacas no campo como obstáculos e forçou, primeiramente, as jogadas pelas laterais. Depois, exercitou as infiltrações pelo meio da área. Em ambos os casos, a conclusão era com finalizações diante dos goleiros do elenco, que se revezavam na meta.

O meia-atacante Diego Souza, com edema na coxa esquerda, o zagueiro Anderson Martins, com trauma na coxa esquerda, e os atacantes Gonzalo Carneiro, em aprimoramento físico após se recuperar de pubalgia, e Morato, com entorse no tornozelo esquerdo, passaram a manhã no Reffis. Assim como o meia Cueva, liberado pela diretoria para acompanhar o nascimento do filho no Peru, todos desfalcarão a equipe neste domingo.

Diante das opções à disposição, a provável escalação do Tricolor tem: Sidão; Militão (Bruno Alves), Rodrigo Caio e Arboleda; Régis, Jucilei, Hudson e Reinaldo; Nenê, Everton e Tréllez. Mas a formação deve ser mantida em mistério até pouco antes do começo da partida.

O último trabalho antes da partida em Salvador será na manhã deste sábado, sem a presença da imprensa no CT da Barra Funda. Na sequência, a delegação embarca para o Nordeste. A partida contra o Bahia será às 16h de domingo, na Fonte Nova, e vale pela quinta rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Ricky Ponting has nominated David Hussey and Steven Smith as the men in danger of being axed from Australia’s side to squeeze Michael Hussey in

Brydon Coverdale in Bangalore12-Mar-2011

Ricky Ponting has nominated David Hussey and Steven Smith as the men in danger of being axed from Australia’s side to squeeze Michael Hussey in for Sunday’s match against Kenya. However, the Australians won’t be tempted to rest any of their best XI, with Ponting’s men desperate for action having been twiddling their thumbs during a two-week break since their last full game.Hussey has trained strongly since joining the squad in Bangalore as the replacement for Doug Bollinger, impressing the medical staff with how quickly he has recovered from surgery on his hamstring. The Australians will wait to see how Hussey handles Saturday’s training session before confirming him in the side, but Ponting said it would be a difficult call as to who would miss out.”It’s going to be a very tough decision, and one that up until a week ago we probably didn’t think we’d have to make,” Ponting said. “I’ve had a close look at [Mike] the last couple of days in training. He’s striking the ball really well. The physio forced him to do some quite intense running yesterday out on the ground. He got through that particularly well.”I think if you looked at two players that you’d have to single out who are in the same sort of position as Mike plays, it’s going to be unfortunately probably his brother or someone like Steven Smith. They’re the roles that Mike will come and play for us. We’ll have that sorted out by the morning.”The chairman of selectors, Andrew Hilditch, was due to join the touring group on Saturday evening to replace David Boon as the selector on duty, and the Hussey decision is the only one likely to be required for this game. The backup players Callum Ferguson, Tim Paine and John Hastings will remain on the sidelines, but could come in to contention for Wednesday’s clash with Canada.The first-choice batsmen are in need of some valuable time in the middle, having not batted since the win over New Zealand in Nagpur on February 25. While sides like Sri Lanka and England have only one group match remaining, the Australians have three to play, and men like Ponting and Cameron White have spent hardly any time at the crease.”We won’t be resting,” Ponting said. “We’ve had enough rest over the last 16 days. We’ve had about one-third of a game in the last 16 days. We’ve trained really hard, we trained really well leading into the Sri Lanka game and this week since we’ve been here in Bangalore, we’ve trained particularly well again, so we’re really keen to get out there and play some cricket.”What it does do, it gives you a chance to prepare very well. We should be exceptionally well prepared for the next two games we’ve got coming up because we’ve had such a long break. It gives our players a chance to get over any little niggles they might have had from the previous games as well. We’re probably the only team in the tournament that will have a break that long. “The Australians have played Kenya twice before in World Cups, winning with relative ease on both occasions, and the Kenyan outfit of 2011 is notably weaker than their previous line-ups. But Ponting said there was no way his men would slip in to complacency against Kenya, whose only wins against Test nations since 2003 have come against Zimbabwe.”We won’t take any game lightly,” Ponting said. “We want to go out there and play the best cricket that we can. We know that we’ve got Kenya and Canada and then Pakistan just around the corner, then you’ve got quarter-finals and semi-finals. We haven’t played a great deal of cricket yet in the tournament, so it’s all about us getting our way right in the business end of the tournament, so that means that we go out tomorrow and play the best game of cricket that we possibly can.”

A ferocious 145 not out from captain Andrew Gale put Yorkshire firmly incontrol of their County Championship Division One clash with title-holdersNottinghamshire at Headingley

A ferocious 145 not out from captain Andrew Gale put Yorkshire firmly incontrol of their County Championship Division One clash with title-holdersNottinghamshire at Headingley.The visitors have been second-best on all fronts since winning the tosson the first morning, and had to fight hard to avoid a two-day defeat, eventually closing on175 for 6 – with 18 runs required to make Yorkshire bat again.Yorkshire began the second day on 213 for 5 with a lead of 70 but things didnot go entirely to plan early on. Gale completed a watchful half-century off 91balls but Adil Rashid added only a single to his overnight 39 before he playedround a ball from Samit Patel and was bowled.Richard Pyrah had his stumps hit by Luke Fletcher after one kept low but DavidWainwright gave valuable support to Gale as Notts began to feel the handicap ofbeing without Andre Adams, who did not take the field because of a groinstrain.Just as he was beginning to settle in, Wainwright drove a gentle return catchto Patel and in the following over Ryan Sidebottom was lbw to Paul Frankswithout scoring, leaving Yorkshire on 254 for 9.It looked as if Gale, on 67, would be denied his century, but he managed toplunder the bowling while last man Oliver Hannon-Dalby offered solid support.Every ball the number 11 kept out was loudly applauded by the home fans.Consecutive boundaries for Gale advanced him to 101 off 169 balls, with 13fours, at which stage Hannon-Dalby’s contribution to the 34-run stand was a meresingle. It was Gale’s first century since flogging an unbeaten 158 against thesame opponents at Trent Bridge towards the end of last season.Gale moved into hurricane mode as he planted consecutive balls from Fletcherhigh over mid-wicket for six and when lunch came at 334 for 9 he hadcontributed 76 from the previous 80 runs. That exceeded the previous best forYorkshire’s last wicket against Nottinghamshire at Headingley, 73 betweenWilfred Rhodes and Abe Waddington in 1920.Only two were added after the interval, however, before Hannon-Dalby was caughtat second slip by Adam Voges of Charlie Shreck, Gale receiving a standingovation for his unbeaten 145 from 205 balls with 15 fours and two sixes.It did not take long for Nottinghamshire’s top order to hit trouble again,Franks’ middle stump being struck so hard by Sidebottom that it had to bechanged. Mark Wagh’s off stump was flattened by Pyrah’s 10th delivery and in thenext over Patel bagged a pair when he was bowled by Sidebottom.At 38 for 3, a two-day finish looked on the cards but the visitors’ resolvewas stiffened by a 105-run stand between Alex Hales and Voges, during which theformer completed his second half-century of the match by driving Rashid overlong off for six.The fourth-wicket pair looked assured against both pace and spin but once againHales was to move into the 80s without reaching three figures. After making hisway to 83 off 112 balls, with 12 fours and a six, he stood no chance of keepingout a shooter from Pyrah which hit the base of his off-stump.Pyrah was once more fulfilling a vital role with the ball and he went on toremove Voges for 42 before being rested with figures of 15-8-19-3, Sidebottomreturning to deepen Nottinghamshire’s gloom by getting Alistair Brown caughtbehind.

India captain, MS Dhoni, has admitted his side fielded poorly against England, but said that improving their fielding wasn’t an option given their limitations

ESPNcricinfo staff28-Feb-2011India captain, MS Dhoni, has admitted his team fielded poorly against England, but said there were limits to how much it could improve its fielding. Instead, he said, the team needed to focus on its strengths.”Maybe if we would have fielded slighted better, we would have won the game by one run because you realise in these games the importance of one run,” Dhoni said. “I don’t think we can improve the fielding very much because we have got quite a few slow fielders in the side.”So I think if we were a different fielding side it would have been slightly better, but then you need to realise your strengths and definitely fielding is not a big part of it.”Apart from a dropped chance off Andrew Strauss early in his innings and one off Ian Bell at slip, India conceded quite a few runs by way of misfields.The hosts amassed 338 on the backs of another Sachin Tendulkar century on Sunday in Bangalore, but Strauss made a century of his own and the match ended in a dramatic tie after some lusty lower-order hitting from England. During England’s innings, Dhoni was seen discussing fielding and bowling changes on a number of occasions with Virender Sehwag.Munaf Patel took a clever return catch to dismiss Kevin Pietersen, rare bright moment for India in the field•AFP

“If you are not 100% sure of something, you have got experienced players in the side whom you can always approach because at the end of the day the motivation is to take the best decision at the right time. That’s what I was interacting with him since he was close to me.”Dhoni said he likes to let his bowlers choose their own field and it is only when things don’t go to plan that he steps in. “I always give the liberty to the bowlers to set the field,” he said. “If the fast bowler wants a particular field, even if i am not very happy with it, I believe in the skill of the fast bowlers, and give him the first preference to pick his own field. If it is not successful, then I implement my own field.”
