“He will serve for a very long time for Sri Lankan cricket, but we’ll have to keep an eye on how much he bowls”

Moody: ‘Pathirana completely shut the door on Mumbai’s power-hitters’

Matheesha Pathirana “shouldn’t even get close” to red-ball cricket, in the opinion of MS Dhoni, his captain at Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023.Pathirana, a new-gen version of Lasith Malinga, has emerged as one of the aces in Dhoni’s pack in the IPL, and picked up three wickets for just 15 runs against Mumbai Indians at Chepauk on Saturday, bowling all his overs in the back-half of the innings.”I personally think he is not someone who should play a lot of red-ball cricket,” Dhoni said at the post-match presentation, almost like a plea to the powers-that-be in Sri Lankan cricket. “I think he shouldn’t even get close to it. Even in white-ball cricket, the 50-over version he should play as less as possible. [He should] play the big ICC tournaments because he is not somebody who will change a lot. This [having an impact in short bursts] is what he will do, so you can always use him at crucial times.Related

“But make sure that he is fit and available for all ICC tournaments and he will be a great asset for Sri Lanka. Not to forget, he is a really young boy. Last time [in 2022], when he came, he was slightly more lean, but he has added muscle, which means he has got pretty strong. I feel he will serve for a very long time for Sri Lankan cricket, but we’ll have to keep an eye on how much he bowls.”Pathirana was unsold in the auction ahead of IPL 2022, but was drafted in by CSK after Adam Milne was ruled out with a hamstring injury.Last season, he had played two games for CSK, picking up two wickets. This time, he has played seven games, in which he has picked up ten wickets – all at the death – at an economy rate of 7.60, the last number made even more remarkable by the fact that he has bowled only four of his 27.2 overs this season before the 12th.”People who don’t have very clean [conventional] action, batsmen find it difficult to pick them – in a format like this, where you have to go after the bowler, it makes it slightly difficult,” Dhoni said. “That is just on the action part, we are not talking about the pace that he bowls [at], the variations he has and the consistency he has got. All of it makes him special. What is important is to keep an eye on how much cricket he is playing.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Dhoni wanted to bat but was ‘outnumbered’It was CSK’s third win in five games at Chepauk this season, but only the second 3.30pm game that was played at the venue. With rain forecast for the evening, Dhoni said he was not sure about his decision at the toss but went with the view of the majority of the CSK think tank and chose to field.”Frankly I was slightly doubtful. What I wanted was I wanted to bat first. But the think tank together said there are chances of rain,” he said. “I had a simple calculation. I said 3:30pm the game starts. Let’s say you win the toss and if you are batting first, maximum in one-and-a-half to two hours the game gets over. By the time rain comes, major part of the game would be done with. I was slightly outnumbered, and I said let’s go with the majority.”If there is some kind of confusion, we sit and talk about [it]. It is not about who has said what. Ultimately, we try to decide what is best for the team and you go with the majority. It was slightly confusing because I felt the wicket will slow down and it has always been very good initially to bat on. So I strongly felt that even if rain comes, majority of the game will be done and it won’t have an impact on the game directly.”CSK have two more home games left – against Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders – and an away game in Delhi to end the league stage.

Em fase final de preparação para a Copa do Mundo, a Seleção Brasileira entra em contagem regressiva para a estreia no Qatar. Dentro das quatro linhas, a lista de Tite deve ser divulgada no fim do mês de outubro. Fora de campo, a CBF celebra o crescimento na quantidade de patrocinadores. Em relação ao último Mundial, o número de investidores cresceu 110%, com 19 empresas estampando a logomarca em ativações da Amarelinha.

De acordo com Bernardo Pontes, sócio da BP Sports, a proximidade da Copa deixou o espaço ainda mais procurado, embora a marca da Seleção seja uma das mais valorizadas do esporte brasileiro.

– Se o projeto for bem construído, é um produto com muito potencial para a conversão em resultados. A concorrência é muito grande, as empresas que já patrocinam contam com prioridade na renovação, o que deixa ainda mais difícil o espaço para os concorrentes – afirmou.

No portfólio dos investidores, existem patrocinadores mais antigos, como a Nike, fornecedora de material esportivo desde 1995. Por outro lado, marcas como Kavak e Kwai estampam a logomarca há pouco menos de um ano. Segundo especialistas, as parcerias não se resumem apenas aos materiais de jogo, mas em placas de publicidade, redes sociais e até ônibus personalizados.

– É natural, com a proximidade da Copa, que o mercado fique mais aquecido. Além de um produto de mídia muito forte, a seleção tem uma rejeição muito baixa em comparação aos clubes tradicionais. Independente destes fatores, é notável o crescimento dos valores envolvendo acordos de patrocínio no futebol nacional – contou Bruno Maia, CEO da Feel The Match e autor do livro “Inovação é o Novo Marketing”.

No Grupo G, o Brasil estreia daqui 120 dias contra a Sérvia, às 16h (horário de Brasília). A primeira partida e o duelo com Camarões serão no Estádio Nacional de Lusail, que também sediará a decisão. Já no segundo embate, contra a Suíça, os comandados de Tite jogam no Ras Abu Aboud, apelidado de Estádio 974, número que remete a quantidade de contêineres utilizados na construção da Arena.

With four wins and three draws next to their name from their last seven Championship matches, Tony Mowbray’s West Bromwich Albion find themselves grasping onto the final playoff spot in the ultra competitive division.

Indeed, despite their positive recent patch of form, the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Watford are still loitering close behind both on 52 points, whilst the Baggies’ nearest challengers in both Middlesbrough and Bristol City are on 54 points and 57 points respectively.

West Brom’s heftier goal difference means they sit in sixth over the Robins, with Mowbray wanting more from the likes of Tom Fellows in crunch Championship contests to follow, aware that the homegrown gem’s form has dipped slightly.

Tom Fellows' dip in form at West Brom

Across the unbeaten stretch of results West Brom are currently experiencing, Fellows has only managed to pick up one paltry assist.

The last seven clashes in the league has seen very little come off for the usually electric 21-year-old – away from helping Adam Armstrong net against Sheffield Wednesday – resulting in Mowbray dropping the hot-and-cold number 31 from his starting lineups here and there.

Taking Fellows out of the main team would have been completely unfathomable earlier in the campaign, with the Solihull-born winger racing to 11 assists in second tier action when regularly linking up with a now injury-stricken Josh Maja, alongside also picking up two goals for his troubles.

A reported move to Everton could still be on the cards when the next transfer window rolls around, but there is one former loanee who is now managing to outperform the out-of-sorts attacker…

The former West Brom loanee outperforming Fellows

Sometimes, a player doesn’t instantly become a success during the infancy of their playing days. Rather, the star in question ends up being a late bloomer that eventually explodes into life.

Jacob Murphy falls into this bracket of players who have managed to age like a fine wine, with the now Newcastle United ace outperforming Fellows across 2024/25 to date, after a slightly unmemorable loan stint in the West Midlands.

Sourced by Transfermarkt

Looking at the table above, Murphy has managed to come on leaps and bounds since his stint at the Hawthorns, with the 30-year-old attacker worth just £5m – as per Transfermarkt – when lining up for the Baggies, having only mustered up three goal contributions from 15 clashes.

Now, the ex-Norwich City man has hit his peak in Howe’s camp, with Fellows’ 13 goal contributions for the campaign bettered by Murphy reaching 15 from 31 games.

To make his sublime season even better, Murphy would also manage to lift the EFL Cup proudly against Liverpool, having bagged one goal and two assists in the competition to get his team to that famous showdown at Wembley.

Murphy’s value – as per Transfermarkt – has also now risen all the up to a bumper £13m subsequently, representing a large £8m increase from his far lesser price-tag when he was still attempting to make a name for himself as an eager loanee.

Now, the “relentless” winger – as he’s been lauded by football journalist Chris Waugh in the past – very much has a home to call his own in St James’ Park, away from his former loan employers now desperately trying to reach Murphy’s level.

Falcons’ total underpinned by classy Wayne Madsen fifty but Lightning begin as they mean to finish

ECB Reporters Network20-May-2023

Luke Wells hits out on his way to a maiden T20 fifty•Getty Images

Lancashire Lightning beat Derbyshire Falcons by four wickets to start the 2023 Vitality Blast campaign as they aim to end it – with victory at Edgbaston.The Blast will conclude in Birmingham with Finals Day on July 15 and Lightning took an impressive first step towards that showpiece with a win in the first half of the inaugural Blast Off opener in the Second City sunshine.The Falcons’ 179 for 5, underpinned by Wayne Madsen’s classy 50 from 35 balls, was solid but no more than par on a good batting pitch.Lightning then reached 183 for 6 with four balls to spare after Luke Wells laid the foundation with a violent 66 off 35 balls, his maiden T20 half-century.After the Falcons were put in, Luke Wood began with a wide but his second ball was straight enough to win an lbw decision against Haider Ali. Madsen was soon motoring to his 25th T20 half-century though, supported by a sprinkling of lively, if fleeting, cameos.Second-wicket pair Luis Reece (23 off 21) and Madsen added 64 in 48 balls before the former fell lbw to Tom Hartley. Madsen struck four sixes on his way to a 34-ball fifty but perished next ball when he lifted Danny Lamb to Hartley at deep midwicket.Leus du Plooy clubbed three sixes in a 16-ball 33 then fell in pursuit of another when he holed out to Wood. Anuj Dal and Aneurin Donald connected with a blow or two and, after Mattie McKiernan clouted Tom Bailey for a last-over six, only the openers had failed to clear the ropes. The suspicion was, however, that it was a 200-pitch and the Falcons were a few short – and so it proved.Even without star batters Keaton Jennings (injured) and Phil Salt, Liam Livingstone and Jos Buttler (IPL-duty) Lightning reeled in their target.They started briskly as Pakistan quick Zaman Khan suffered a bracing welcome to the Blast. His first ball was hoisted far over long leg for six by Wells in an over that went for 18. Zak Chappell’s opening over then went for 15 as the Lightning thundered to 44 in three overs.Opening pair Wells and George Bell added 59 from 26 balls before the latter spliced Khan to mid on. Steven Croft was run out after finding himself at the same end as Wells but the opener thrashed a 24-ball fifty and left his side very strongly placed, needing 68 from ten overs, when he fell in familiar Blast fashion, caught in the leg-side deep.Daryl Mitchell’s cleanly-hit 31 off 19 balls kept Lightning’s foot on the Falcons’ throat and victory was closed out with more comfort than a last-over finish suggests.

Manchester City are looking to sign an “incredible” £100 million playmaker this summer, according to Sky Sports.

Man City planning for new era as spending spree set to continue

No one would have predicted a team of City’s stature would have only the FA Cup to play for come this stage of the season. Given that disappointment, this summer is expected to follow in the same suit as January as Pep Guardiola freshens up an ageing squad.

There is expected to be a change between the sticks, as current first-choice keeper Ederson will enter the final year of his contract this summer, and it is believed he could be set for a move to Saudi Arabia. The Brazilian was heavily linked with a move to the Middle East last summer, but this time a deal could go through.

In terms of replacements, Porto’s Diogo Costa has been mentioned as a top target, but he is not the only option, as according to The Sun, City are interested in signing Lucas Chevalier from Lille. He is a player that the Premier League champions have kept their eye on throughout the season and have made more regular checks in recent months. However, they are not alone in their interest, as rivals Manchester United are also keeping an eye on the Frenchman.

Man City want to sign "incredible" Wirtz who is valued at £100m

As well as looking at freshening things up in goal, Pep also wants to improve his attack, with Kevin De Bruyne likely to leave. According to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, Man City now want to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.

Plettenberg states that as well as City looking to strike a deal this summer, Bayern Munich are also keen on a transfer, as they look to weaken a direct opponent. However, Leverkusen are not willing to see Wirtz leave without a fight, as they have offered the Germany international a new contract until 2028, which also includes a release clause for the summer of 2026.

The Bundesliga champions expect Wirtz, who has been dubbed “incredible” by Joe Cole in the past, to make a decision very soon. If Wirtz decides he wants to leave Leverkusen and talks start to take place over a transfer, Leverkusen may look to demand a fee between €120-130 million fixed plus bonuses, which is roughly £100-108 million.

The 21-year-old was exceptional for Leverkusen last season as they won the Bundesliga and reached the Europa League final. Despite the fact they look to miss out on the league and have already been knocked out of Europe, Wirtz has been instrumental once again this time around, scoring nine goals and registering 11 assists in 25 league games. De Bruyne’s likely exit from the Etihad Stadium means Wirtz could be seen as the ideal replacement for the Belgian this summer.

Neste sábado (27), Corinthians e Palmeiras se enfrentam na Neo Química Arena, às 14h, em duelo válido pela partida de ida da semifinal do Brasileirão Feminino. O Dérbi em questão marca o vigésimo primeiro encontro entre as equipes na história da modalidade.

O clássico é um ‘tira-teima’ do ano passado, onde as rivais se enfrentaram na final do campeonato nacional, e as Brabas, como ficaram intituladas as jogadoras corintianas, faturaram a taça.

TIME DESFALCADO

No entanto, a missão do Timão nesta temporada tem um grau de dificuldade maior, pois o técnico Arthur Elias tem diversos desfalques para a partida. Ele não poderá contar com quatro pilares da equipe: a zagueira Giovanna Campiolo, a meia Gabi Zanotti, e as atacantes Gabi Portilho e Victoria Albuquerque.

Não obstante, mais cinco atletas corintiana também estão sob os cuidados do departamento médico. Em coletiva antes do Dérbi, o treinador lamentou as lesões e explicou como isso dificultou a preparação.

– A gente teve bastante dificuldade com o número de lesões. Várias baixas em relação as atletas disponíveis para treinamento. 80, 85% dos treinos foram com 14, 15 jogadoras de linha no máximo. Isso impacta porque a gente não consegue dar um treinamento com qualidade. Mas as atletas encararam isso de uma forma positiva, sei o crescimento que as atletas tiveram nesse ano, o sacrifício que elas colocaram em cada jogo, momento, para honrar essa camisa – afirmou Arthur Elias.

TABELA – Timão ou Verdão? Simule o mata-mata do Brasileirão Feminino

TABU

Desde que o time feminino do Palmeiras foi reativado, em 2019, sete Dérbis já foram disputados em duelos mata-mata, e o Corinthians jamais foi derrotado. O Timão soma cinco vitórias e dois empates em duelos eliminatórios contra as rivais.

Apesar do bom retrospecto, os momentos das equipes são distintos, já que o Verdão não tem desfalques e possui o melhor ataque da competição, com 52 gols marcados.

Arthur Elias reconheceu que o favoritismo está com o Palmeiras, mas destacou que sua equipe vai lutar os 90 minutos para sair com a vitória.

-Eu concordo, para esse jogo, o Palmeiras é o favorito e vamos lutar para colocar o Corinthians na final com o pensamento que a gente sempre tem aqui dentro: independentemente do que falam, a gente não entende que é melhor ou pior, a gente entra em campo para defender o nosso clube e jogar dentro da nossa proposta, com dedicação – declarou.

Se o Corinthians busca um resultado positivo no primeiro duelo, terá o apoio de sua torcida na Neo Química Arena. O clube confirmou que mais de 15 mil ingressos foram vendidos antecipadamente.

No ano passado, o Timão conquistou a tríplice-coroa, faturando o Paulistão, Brasileirão e Libertadores no feminino.

After the schedule tweak, Pakistan will be playing 19 T20Is between now and the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jul-2023

Pakistan will play New Zealand in 10 T20Is between now and the 2024 World Cup•PCB

Pakistan’s home series of two Test matches and three T20Is against West Indies has been pushed back from January-February 2024 to January 2025, and has been replaced by an away series of five T20Is against New Zealand.With the tweak in the Future Tours Programme, Pakistan will be playing 19 T20Is between now and the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held in the West Indies and the USA in June 2024, ten of them against New Zealand alone – five away and five at home – and the rest against Netherlands (three), Ireland (two) and England (four).A separate series in New Zealand, of three ODIs and five T20Is, has been pushed back from January 2025 to April 2025. It also means that Pakistan have an entire home season later this year without a single Test in it. They tour Australia for a three-Test series at the end of the year – their first Tests after the current series against Sri Lanka – and then will not play any Tests until August 2024, when they host Bangladesh for two Tests.Pakistan’s T20I tour of New Zealand

Jan 14 – 2nd T20I, Hamilton
Jan 17 – 3rd T20I, Dunedin
Jan 19 – 4th T20I, Christchurch
Jan 21 – 5th T20I, Christchurch

This was on the cards, as reported last month by ESPNcricinfo, since the PSL is slotted for February and March. As things stand, Pakistan will play three Test matches in Australia between December 2023 and January 2024, and the clutter in early 2024 has been reduced somewhat with the five-match T20I series in New Zealand to be held in January. After completing the Tests in Australia, Pakistan will fly directly to Auckland to play the T20Is. In April, after the PSL, the teams will play a reciprocal five-T20I series in Pakistan.The PSL now runs for 34 days. And because of the holy month of Ramadan, the available window is only from February 12 to March 10.Related
