Fast improving Warwickshire registered their third Friends Life t20 victory in a row when beating Midlands/Wales/West group leaders Northamptonshire by three wickets at Edgbaston.For a long time it seemed that Northamptonshire’s flimsy-looking total of 111 might be too good for Warwickshire as a tense, low-scoring contest unfolded on a sluggish pitch.David Willey put them on the back foot with wickets from the last two balls of the third over and they were seriously wobbling when William Porterfield was caught on the boundary off Steven Crook.It took the experience of Rikki Clarke – and one bad over – to keep them in contention. Clarke targeted offspinner Matthew Spriegel for three sixes in four balls, twice clearing long-off before lining up a much bigger hit to long-on.Although Willey came back to have Clarke caught at long on for 36, Northamptonshire had run out of seam options when Spriegel had to bowl the last two overs from the pavilion end. That proved to be decisive when Jeetan Patel, a player who thrives on spin bowling, smashed a six over midwicket with three balls to spare.Northamptonshire’s earlier struggle was largely caused Steffan Piolet, first with a brilliant piece of fielding and then with a spell of 3 for 24, a personal-best return in the competition.The 24-year-old all-rounder ran out Cameron White with a direct hit from mid-on when the Australian was backing up at the non-striker’s end. This meant Northamptonshire had lost their two overseas players from the first 15 balls. South African Richard Levi’s off stump was sent spinning by Clarke’s first delivery and the initial six-over power play yielded only 29 runs.A minor recovery was under way before Piolet intervened by taking his three wickets in 10 balls. The dangerous Crook holed out to long off and in the medium pacer’s last over, top scorer Kyle Coetzer fell at mid-wicket and Willey made too much room when he was bowled.Willey targeted the shortest boundary at long on for three of the five sixes in the innings but on a difficult surface for batsmen Northants were able to hit only three fours.

David Sales’ magnificent double-century helped Northamptonshire to a massive total on a rain-affected third day their Championship match against Gloucestershire. Sales’ sensational knock of 255 not out off 279 balls was the third-highest score of his career as Northants eventually declared on 567 for 4, giving them a first-innings lead of 209.Andrew Hall also contributed an unbeaten 55 off 106 deliveries and Gloucestershire then closed on 31 without loss, but with a flat wicket and a poor weather forecast for tomorrow, a draw now looks to be inevitable.Northants began the day on 369 for 3, 11 runs ahead of their opponents, with Sales resuming on 126 and Australia international Cameron White on 6. However, rain began to fall 10 minutes before the players were due out, which led to the entire morning session being wiped out and 33 overs being lost as play finally started at 2.15pm.White was to then add 10 runs to his overnight total before he smashed Craig Miles to Benny Howell at deep midwicket in the fifth over of the day. But Sales hung around to reach 150 for the 17th time in his first-class career off 172 balls as he and Hall piled on another 170 for Northants’ fifth wicket.The 35-year-old club stalwart was to then complete the eighth double-ton of his career off 232 deliveries by hammering a four through point off the bowling of Miles. It was the first time he had struck 200 since August 2007, when he made 219 against Glamorgan at Colwyn Bay, and it helped the hosts to 493 for 4 at tea, with their lead now 135.Gloucestershire still could not break apart the partnership in the evening as Sales reached 250 off 270 balls just before Hall completed his half-century off 102 deliveries. Northants captain Stephen Peters then waved his players off halfway through the 143rd over, leaving Gloucestershire to face 16 overs before the close of play.Only two were possible before the umpires stopped play for bad light but thankfully the players were back out 10 minutes later with two more overs lost. Within three balls of the restart, Chris Dent was given a reprieve as he was dropped on 2 by James Middlebrook at third slip off the bowling of David Willey. He was to then last until stumps alongside his captain Michael Klinger and they will resume on Monday on 10 and 21 respectively.

Diniz não garante permanência de Calazans e fala sobre utilizar a base

A desempenho do Fluminense na vitória por 3 a 0 sobre o Boavista, pelo Carioca, agradou Fernando Diniz. Diante da atuação de seus comandados, o técnico avaliou que a vitória seria provável, mas apontou margem para evolução. O que não arrancou sorrisos do treinador foi a situação de Marquinhos Calazans. Ele reconhece o interesse do São Paulo no jogador, mas não garantiu a permanência do ponteiro.

-Eu sei do interesse, conversei com ele. A minha intenção é que ele fique, mas não depende só de mim. Depende de outras coisas, de valores e da vontade do Marquinhos. Ele estava sendo importante, foi muito utilizado por mim. Estava muito no começo quando falamos. Ele não falou nada. Eu não sei em que pé está a negociação e também não sei o que o Marquinhos pensa – disse, em coletiva.

Apesar do bom começou de ano à frente do Flu, o treinador tem sido cobrado por uma maior utilização da base tricolor. Sobre o tema, o técnico garantiu que não há predileção pelos ‘meninos de Xerém’:

– O Fluminense não é uma divisão entre jogadores da base e de jogadores que vieram de outros clubes. Essa divisão não existe, não tem o menor sentido. Se tiver de os 11 da base, como foi quase na estreia do Carioca, quando usamos muito, a gente vai usar. Eu boto no campo quem eu acho que vai representar bem o time e está em melhor momento.

O time das Laranjeiras terminou bem a quarta-feira, mas o dia não foi apenas de boas notícias. No meio da tarde, Digão foi diagnosticado com uma fratura na perna esquerda e fica fora por até dois meses. Enquanto isso,Léo Santos, que hoje substituiu o capitão tricolor, não está inscrito na Sul-Americana, e, portanto, não pode atuar na quinta-feira, contra o Antofagasta. Diniz falou sobre a nova dor de cabeça:

– Vou pensar primeiro no Botafogo. Depois, vou ver como montar o time contra o Antafogasta. A notícia triste foi a lesão do Digão, a nossa grande liderança. Tem o apoio de todo mundo, tem influência positiva sobre os jogadores, o que me ajudou muito desde a minha chegada. Torço pela recuperação, vai aproveitar um pouco a família.

Atualmente, o comandante conta com os seguintes zagueiros: Paulo Ricardo, Frazan, o recém-contratado Nino, Ferraz e Léo Santos. Os dois últimos devem formar a zaga do Fluminense no domingo, contra o Botafogo, às 19h, pelo Campeonato Carioca.

Atacante afirma ter sido dispensado por preconceito; Vasco nega

MatériaMais Notícias

Há uma semana, Hendrick desembarcava no Rio de Janeiro para iniciar uma trajetoria nas categorias de base do Vasco. Após se destacar na Copinha pelo Manthiqueira-SP, o atacante foi contratado para um período de testes no Cruz-Maltino, mas foi desligado pelo clube nesta terça-feira.

Hendrick, por sua vez, se manifestou por meio de sua conta no Instagram, afirmando que foi desligado do clube por conta de suas tatuagens e ‘ser da favela’. Em uma série de vídeos gravados na plataforma, o atacante mostrou o seu lado da história.

– O Vasco me dispensou com uma semana. Treinei três dias e isso é brincadeira comigo, sou profissional. Não foi por futebol não, foi trairagem mesmo. Monitor falou que eu disse umas besteiras para ele, mas eu não falei. É muita gente preconceituosa nesse mundo, por eu ser da favela, falar gírias e das tatuagens. Aí fazem safadeza para atrasar as pessoas. Acabaram com o sonho de um moleque – afirmou.

O Vasco, por sua vez, nega a história do atacante e afirma que Hendrick foi desligado nas categorias de base antes do tempo previsto por uma questão técnica e por não conseguir se adaptar às regras do alojamento do clube. Veja a nota divulgada pelo Vasco.

“O Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama esclarece que a dispensa do atleta Hendrick foi motivada, exclusivamente, por questões disciplinares e técnicas. O atleta teve problemas para se adaptar às regras de hospedagem do Clube e, durante o período de testes, não apresentou desempenho satisfatório na avaliação da comissão técnica. O tratamento concedido a Hendrick, cabe ressaltar, foi o mesmo dado a todos os jovens que buscam uma oportunidade com a camisa cruzmaltina. Pioneiro na luta pela inserção de pobres e negros no futebol, o Vasco da Gama reafirma o compromisso com a sua própria história, a mais bonita do futebol, e sua luta contra qualquer tipo de preconceito. Diante do exposto, o Clube lamenta que o atleta tenha se precipitado na avaliação dos motivos da sua dispensa.”

كشف عبد الله الشمري المتحدث الرسمي لنادي أم صلال القطري، حقيقة التفاوض مع صانع ألعاب الأهلي محمد مجدي “أفشة”، وعلق على انتقال حمدي فتحي إلى الوكرة.

A Twenty20 tour match will also be played, in Hove.Sri Lanka had played two first-class warm-up matches in their last tour to England, in 2011, ahead of the series they lost 1-0.The ECB moved Sri Lanka’s Tests to mid-June in order to avoid a clash with the IPL, but that reshuffle, and the abundance of cricket in England next summer, does not allow for a lengthy warm-up period. After Sri Lanka’s two-Test series, India play five Tests in the UK.In 2014, they will arrive in England without having played a Test match outside Asia in the last 16 months. However, Sri Lanka will have played five ODIs and a Twenty20 international in the UK before the Tests begin.Sri Lanka are set to arrive in England on May 9.
