Last year 4th, CC Div 2; Lost in semi-final, FLt20; Lost in semi-final, YB40.2013 in a nutshellAfter winning four trophies in four years, for Hampshire to end a season empty-handed was something of a disappointment. Their limited-overs cricket remained impressive, however. No team lost fewer games in the FLt20 – their semi-final defeat was only their second loss in the campaign with Michael Carberry, with four 50s and a hundred, prolific throughout – and they also finished top of their YB40 group, only to lose to Glamorgan at the semifinal stage. Again Carberry was prolific, with Jimmy Adams also enjoying an excellent competition.Only in the Championship was their form disappointing. While the batting remained reliable, with both Liam Dawson and James Vince passing 1,000 runs, the bowling lacked bite and was overly reliant on James Tomlinson. On pitches offering them little, the seamers David Balcombe and Chris Wood endured a tough season, while Danny Briggs’ spin continued to look more suited to limited-overs cricket. He was the most economical of any bowler to deliver more than 40 overs in the FLt20, but his strike-rate in the championship left Hampshire looking toothless at times. For a club of Hampshire’s ambition and resources to finish mid-table in the second division and spend another season fighting for promotion will sting.2014 prospectsWhile a couple of prominent senior players – Dimitri Mascarenhas and Neil McKenzie – have departed and will be missed, Hampshire have underlined their ambition by strengthening in the off-season. Matt Coles, who has joined from Kent, and Kyle Abbott, a South African quick who is the primary overseas player, should add some bite with the ball, while Will Smith, who has arrived from Durham, will add some experience with the bat. Glenn Maxwell will join them for the T20 Blast.With Carberry unlikely to retain a place in the Test side, it may well prove that Hampshire are largely unsettled by England call-ups and will enjoy the benefit of a settled line-up. The spin bowling still looks one potential area of concern, but with an experienced opening pair anything less than promotion will be a disappointment and there is no reason why they should not continue to push for limited-overs success.The challenge off the pitch remains just as important. The building of a hotel – which will also contain the new media facilities – has run into yet more trouble and, at the time of writing, there remains doubt whether it will be ready for the Test against India.Key playerA great deal is expected of Kyle Abbott. The 26-year-old South African seamer has signed for most of the season with the hope that he will add potency to the bowling attack. He may well: he has an exceptional first-class record and something of a point to prove having earned his way to the fringes of the national side. But he has never experienced anything like the volume of cricket he will face in England and, at some stage, could be recalled by Cricket South Africa with a view to managing his workload.Bright young thingJames Vince is fast developing into one of the most exciting prospects in the English game. As the national side looks to rebuild, he could well find himself involved in any of the formats, though it was his first-class batting that excelled in 2013. He not only scored heavily – passing 1,000 Championship runs for the first time – but scored at such a rate – 64.16 runs per 100 balls in the Championship – that his side were given more time to bowl out the opposition. He is not the finished article and may have to curb some of the looseness if he is to prosper at the highest level, but, at 23, Vince has the class and the range of stroke to suggest he could be a valuable player for Hampshire and England for much of the next decade.Captain/coachDale Benkenstein has joined the club from Durham, where he did a fine job, as first team coach. Giles White remains as director of cricket role and will oversee cricket at all levels throughout the club. Jimmy Adams continues as captain, with Vince promoted to vice-captain.ESPNcricinfo verdictHampshire are strong promotion candidates and contenders in both limited-overs competitions. But doubts remain about the depth of the bowling attack – particularly the spin bowling attack – which could remain an issue in the Championship.

CBF autoriza Palmeiras a escalar Felipe Melo contra a Chapecoense

MatériaMais Notícias

Felipe Melo está à disposição de Luiz Felipe Scolari para o jogo deste domingo, às 19h, contra a Chapecoense, pela sétima rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. Havia dúvida por conta da suspensão do resultado da vitória do Palmeiras sobre o Botafogo, em que o camisa 30 cumpriu gancho por acúmulo de cartões amarelos.

O clube carioca pede a anulação da partida e até o julgamento no Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) o resultado não pode ser homologado. O trâmite jurídico tem reflexo apenas no placar e na pontuação dos times. A CBF entende que Felipe cumpriu a suspensão e só teria de pagá-la mais uma vez caso o confronto seja, de fato, invalidado.

O Palmeiras já tinha o mesmo entendimento, mas aguardava uma posição da entidade. Assim, Felipe Melo deve ser titular ao lado de Bruno Henrique no duelo em Chapecó (SC).

O Botafogo entrou na Justiça por considerar que o árbitro Paulo Roberto Alves usou o VAR indevidamente. O gol do Palmeiras saiu de um pênalti marcado após análise do árbitro de vídeo – de acordo com a equipe carioca, o recurso foi acionado depois de o juiz já ter autorizado o reinício da partida.

Ainda que o STJD tenha pedido para que a CBF não homologue o resultado, o tribunal ainda não deu seu parecer sobre o caso. Apenas entende que o Botafogo realizou corretamente o processo para pedir a anulação. O Palmeiras, por sua vez, manifestou-se como terceiro interessado. O julgamento deve acontecer no início de junho.

فاروق جعفر: الأهلي استفاد من أخطائه.. وعلى الزمالك أن يفعل مثله

أكد فاروق جعفر لاعب الزمالك الأسبق، على ضرورة تلبية إدارة القلعة البيضاء لمطالب الكولومبي خوان كارلوس أوسوريو المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة القدم، بالإضافة إلى دفع مستحقات اللاعبين؛ وذلك قبل انطلاق الموسم الجديد.

وقال فاروق جعفر في تصريحات عبر برنامج “بوكس تو بوكس”، المُذاع على قناة “ETC”: “يجب تلبية مطالب أوسوريو، بالحصول على مستحقاته، وكذلك اللاعبين، ودعم الفريق وفتح القيد، وتوفير كافة عوامل الهدوء والاستقرار، حتى لا يكون لهم حجة لأي نتائج سيئة”.

وتابع: “الأهلي استفاد من أخطائه في الموسم الماضي، ونجح في صناعة استقرار إداري وفني ومعنوي؛ لذلك حصد البطولات هذا الموسم، ويجب على الزمالك أن يستفيد أيضًا مما حدث في الموسم الماضي”.

وأشار: “الفريق متأخر حتى الآن في الاستعداد للموسم الجديد بعد الحصول على راحة طويلة منذ نهاية البطولة العربية، وأوسوريو تأخر في قراره ببدء الاستعداد وكان هدفه الأول خلال الفترة الماضية الحصول على مستحقاته المالية ورواتبه المتأخرة”.

وواصل: “أي مدرب أجنبي يريد الحصول على الأموال، ولو لم يحصل على مستحقاته بالتأكيد سيرحل ويتأثر الفريق فنيًا، ويذهب المدرب للشكوى، ويتأثر الزمالك مجددًا”.

واختتم: “الأهلي بدأ فترة الإعداد منذ أيام بينما الزمالك حتى الآن لم يبدأ التدريبات الجماعية، يجب توفير حالة الهدوء والاستقرار فنيًا وماليًا قبل بدء فترة الاستعداد للفارس الأبيض”.

يستعد جون تيري، نجم تشيلسي الإنجليزي السابق، للالتحاق بسلسلة النجوم الذين انضموا إلى الدوري السعودي هذا الصيف، وتولي أول مهمة تدريبية في مسيرته.

وأشارت صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية في تقرير لها، إلى أن جون تيري سيتولى مهمة إدارية بفريق الشباب السعودي.

وأوضحت صحيفة “ديلي إكسبريس” البريطانية، أن تيري سيكون مديرًا فنيًا لفريق الشباب السعودي، وهي المرة الأولى التي يتولى فيها منصب المدير الفني.

وأفادت صحيفة “ذا صن” البريطانية، بأن الشباب السعودي تواصل مع تيري قبل شهرين وتم بالفعل الاتفاق شفهيًا على الصفقة.

يوضح التقرير أن العرض المقدم لجون تيري، يتمثل في عقد مبدئي لمدة عامين على الأقل، ولكن قد يصل هذا إلى أربع سنوات.

'Pollard, Starc need a stern warning' – Shastri

Ravi Shastri has warned that a repeat of altercations such as the one involving Kieron Pollard and Mitchell Starc could result in much stiffer penalties for the players, including “double” their match fee or even a ban

Ravi Shastri has said the spat between Mitchell Starc and Kieron Pollard ‘bordered on violence’.•BCCI

Ravi Shastri, the former India allrounder and IPL governing council member, has warned that a repeat of altercations such as the one involving Kieron Pollard and Mitchell Starc could result in much stiffer penalties for the players, including “double” their match fee or even a ban.”They should be given a fine and then a stern warning stating that (if) once more then it could be double the penalty and even a match ban,” Shastri told ESPNcricinfo. When asked whether increasing monetary sanctions alone could prevent a breach of the IPL’s rules, Shastri remained confident. “It could. It is in the hands of the match referee. But I would tell the player that next time if you even come close (to a breach) you will face serious consequences.”Shastri provided the example of the “stiff” $50,000 fine imposed on then Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne during the 2011 IPL for breaching the playing contract. Warne had allegedly verbally abused the then Rajasthan Cricket Association secretary Sanjay Dixit, and a disciplinary panel comprising former IPL chairman Chirayu Amin and Shastri imposed the penalty. “The penalties can be pretty stiff. We penalised Warne an amount which amounted to his match fee for a match. He was on a $700,000 contract with Rajasthan Royals. Tell me one player who has been fined $50,000 anywhere.”Shastri, who also sits on the IPL’s code of behaviour committee and the technical committee, said that no advisory has been issued to match referees in light of the Pollard-Starc incident since the officials were aware of the rules. “That is the match referee’s jurisdiction. Only after they take a decision do we have a right to comment.”The IPL’s handling of the incident has once again reopened the debate about whether slow over-rates are more important to the league than bad behaviour and attract more fines because of the impact on TV programming. Shastri rubbished the notion and said that the IPL had set a better example than anybody else, including the ICC, when it came to penalising tardy over-rates. “Slow over-rates slow the pace of the game and captains are appropriately fined. No other cricket body in the world takes so strong (an action) as the IPL. Even the ICC can take a leaf out of the IPL.”Shastri had earlier expressed his annoyance at Pollard and Starc’s behavior in his column. “This one went beyond bad behavior,” Shastri wrote. “You can joust, tease, stare, have a spat, give a send-off and all that can still be tolerated, but you can’t almost come to blows. It bordered on violence, luckily without anything untoward happening. Both aimed to hurt each other with bat and ball. The faults by both are many – disrespect to umpires, abuse of equipment, utter disregard for the name of their employers, contempt for sponsors and injuring the spirit of the game itself.”Starc likes to provoke. We all watched him give a mouthful to Virender Sehwag after his short ball had rammed the opener on the helmet and gone to the fence. Even that is tolerable in small doses. Pollard was nothing if not physical. Both need to be spoken to with a stern warning and not just a fine.”The altercation began with an exchange of words after Starc bowled a bouncer to Pollard in the 17th over of Mumbai Indians’ innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Pollard pulled away as Starc ran in for the next delivery, but the bowler continued and bowled the ball at Pollard’s body. In response, Pollard threatened to throw his bat at Starc, but it fell close to the batsman. Andy Pycroft, the match referee, fined Pollard 75% and Starc 50% of their match fees.The bad behaviour in the match, Shastri wrote, wasn’t just confined to Pollard and Starc.”In the same game, [Yuzvendra] Chahal was also involved in a pronounced send-off to the batsman he dismissed,” Shastri wrote. “It was Chahal’s good luck that Yuvraj Singh was at hand to humour the offended on-field umpires. Mostly it’s the bowlers who are stepping out of line.”All the stakeholders must clamp down on such behaviour. It doesn’t improve you as a cricketer much less as a human being. It’s been a splendid IPL so far and it deserves better from its performers.”

ذا صن: أرتيتا يُخبر لاعب آرسنال بتجميده حال عدم رحيله

لم يعد لأحد لاعبي فريق آرسنال مستقبلًا في ملعب “الإمارات” بناءً على ما قيل له من قِبل المدرب ميكيل أرتيتا، حسبما أفادت تقارير صحفية إنجليزية.

وذكرت صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية إنه قد طُلب من اللاعب نيكولاس بيبي مغادرة آرسنال، رغم أن عقده لا يزال مستمرًا، أو قضاء بقية الموسم دون مشاركة.

وقاوم اللاعب الإيفواري كافة جهود وصيف الدوري الإنجليزي للتخلص منه دون استفادة مالية ضخمة، حيث يريد آرسنال بيعه مقابل 4 ملايين جنيه إسترليني فقط.

ويمتلك نيكولاس بيبي فرصة في الوقت الحالي للابتعاد عن آرسنال حيث يرغب نادي بشكتاش التركي في ضمه، رغم أن اللاعب رفض فرصة الانتقال إلى صفوف في وقت سابق من الميركاتو الصيفي الحالي.

ويحاول ممثلو يببي كذلك دراسة عرض أخير من نادي الشباب السعودي قبل انتهاء نافذة الانتقالات في المملكة العربية يوم الخميس القادم.

ويمتلك نيكولاس بيبي عقدًا مع الجانرز حتى يونيو 2024، ويحصل بمقتضاه على 150 ألف جنيه إسترليني، مما يحقق له حوالي 6.5 مليون جنيه إسترليني إذا استمر حتى نهاية صفقته.

وأشارت الصحيفة إلى أن بيبي متردد تجاه خفض راتبه، حتى يتسنى لـ آرسنال التخلص من تكلفته المالية.

وأفادت أن المدرب ميكيل أرتيتا لم يضع نيكولاس بيبي ضمن خططه منذ عودة اللاعب من فترة إعارة غير ناجحة مع نيس، حيث أمره بالتدرب بمفرده.

كما أن نيكولاس بيبي لا يمتلك رقم قميص في الوقت الحالي بعد تسليم رقمه 19 إلى لياندرو تروسارد في بداية العام.

 

وأكدت الصحيفة أن آرسنال كان واضحًا تجاه بيبي حيث أخبروه بأنه ليس له مستقبل مع الفريق، ولن يلعب مباراة أخرى معهم إذا رفض الرحيل.

 

ويدرك بيبي جيدًا أن مسيرته الدولية في خطر، خاصة مع استضافة بلاده كوت ديفوار لمنافسات كأس أمم إفريقيا في يناير القادم، وذلك إذا لم يجد ناديًا آخر.

 

Aos 83 anos, torcedor do Corinthians recebe homenagem e conhece Basílio

Viúvo, o corretor diz que suas duas grandes paixões são o Timão e sua profissão.

Uma data como esta não poderia passar em branco. Foi pensando nisso que a seguradora Mongeral Aegon preparou uma surpresa para esse corintiano: o encontro inesperado com o ídolo do clube, Basílio, durante visita guiada na Arena Corinthians, local em que assiste aos jogos do time pelo qual é apaixonado.
