A round-up of the third day’s play of the first-round matches of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy

Cricinfo staff30-Dec-2008Group AMohammad Talha took 5 for 37, and Mohammad Aamer and Wahaz Riaz scalped two each, as National Bank of Pakistan secured a 171-run win over Habib Bank Limited in Karachi. Chasing 260, HBL had been reduced to 10 for 3 by stumps on the second day, and the remaining batsmen could only score a further 78 on Tuesday. Khaqan Arsal made 34 of those as last year’s finalists began their season on a low note.Pakistan International Airlines completed an innings-and-193-run rout of Karachi Whites on the third day at the National Stadium. Karachi, resuming on 73 for 3 in their second innings, folded for 161. Anwar Ali, the PIA medium-pacer, was once again the wrecker-in-chief, taking 5 for 43 to complete his second ten-wicket match haul in first-class games.An unbeaten 32 from Kashif Daud helped Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited gain a six-run first-innings lead over Khan Research Laboratories in Rawalpindi. ZTBL, who began the day at 191 for 7, managed to reach 255. KRL, though, have a chance of trying to force a result on the fourth day after scoring 210 for 3 in their second innings by stumps. A high run-rate of 4.17 was achieved thanks to Saeed Anwar jnr’s 102 off 128 balls. He put on 181 for the second wicket with Azhar Ali (81), but ZTBL captain Iftikhar Anjum came back to remove the two set batsmen after having bagged an early wicket.Pakistan Customs suffered a collapse on the third day at the Quaid-e-Azam Park in Karachi, in the process conceding a 44-run first-innings lead to Sui Southern Gas Corporation. Qasim Sheikh, the Scotland batsman, scored his maiden first-class century, but SSGC’s bowlers hit back. From 181 for 1, Pakistan Customs crumbled to 302 all out. No other batsman besides Sheikh went past 40. For SSGC, Mohammad Kashif took four wickets, while off-break bowler Haaris Ayaz bagged three, including that of Sheikh’s. SSGC’s openers negotiated two overs in their second innings before stumps.After no play on the first day, and 33 overs on the second, only six overs were bowled on Tuesday in the match between Water and Power Development Authority and defending champions Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited in Sheikhupura. SNGPL, resuming on 66 for 3, lost a wicket for the addition of six runs.Group BRawalpindi conceded the first-innings lead to Islamabad at the Diamond Club Ground, but came back strongly to dismiss the hosts for 124. They now need only 11 runs on the final day, with four wickets remaining, to seal victory. Rawalpindi added 20 to their overnight 211 for 8, but still fell 14 short of Islamabad’s first-innings total. Their bowlers, though, quickly reduced the hosts to 70 for 7, and it was only a 40 from No. 8 Fakhar Hussain that helped Islamabad past 100. Haseeb Azam took 6 for 64, while Rashid Latif snared three as Rawalpindi used only three bowlers. Rawalpindi crumbled to 31 for 5 chasing 139, but opener Hammad Azam (58 not out) and Yasim Murtaza (34) revived the innings with a 73-run stand.Half-centuries from Sajjad Ahmed and Mohammad Rizwan failed to stave off defeat for Peshawar against Abbottabad at the Arbab Niaz Stadium. Peshawar, with five second-innings wicket gone, began the day trailing by 99. Sajjad (84) and Rizwan (60) gave them hope with their 135-run stand – 59 of which came on the second day – but still Peshwar could only manage 247 in their second innings, setting Abbottabad a target of 22. Rashid Mansoor took five wickets, with fellow spinner Noor-ul-Amin grabbing three. Abbottabad lost one wicket during their chase, which was completed in 4.3 overs.Karachi Blues will also look to wrap up a win on the final day against Quetta in Karachi. Quetta, though, put up a much better performance after they were shot out for 129 in their first innings on Monday. Resuming their second innings at 51 for 1 – they were made to follow on – Quetta progressed to 249 for 8 in the 73 overs bowled on Tuesday. Quetta captain Nasim Khan top scored with 62, but with a lead of only 89, Karachi would look to take the remaining two wickets and chase down an easy target.Only 60-odd overs were possible at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, where a draw seems likely between Lahore Ravi and Faisalabad. Resuming their first innings at 260 for 6, Lahore Ravi pushed to 327, with the overnight pair of Junaid Zia and Ali Raza both scoring 40s. Opener Imran Ali made an unbeaten half-century, but Faisalabad lost two wickets while scoring 96 in their 36 overs before stumps.Proceedings finally got underway at the Multan Cricket Stadium, where Multan made 170 for 5 in 55 overs against Hyderabad. Left-arm spinner Pir Zulfiqar picked up three wickets for the visitors.

Após vencer o Santos por 1 a 0 na Vila Belmiro, no último sábado, o Sport volta a focar na final do Campeonato Pernambucano. Com mais de um mês entre uma partida e outra, o Salgueiro recebe o Sport no estádio Cornélio de Barros, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h45, onde o campeão será definido.

Sem vencer um torneio desde 2011, quando conquistou o Campeonato Carioca sob comando do Flamengo, Luxemburgo afirmou que os atletas já estão concentrados e acrescentou que alguns dos atletas que não vinham jogando, serão parte da escalação para a partida final.

– Eu quero ganhar o Campeonato Pernambucano. O técnico ou jogador tem que querer vencer sempre. Eu arrisquei hoje (sábado) e coloquei jogadores que irão para o jogo em Salgueiro (substituindo os que não estão inscritos no estadual) – declarou o técnico.

O Salgueiro vem de uma boa campanha no estadual, mas tem mostrado pouca evolução no Brasileirão, ocupando a lanterna do Grupo A da Série C. Visto como favorito, Luxemburgo garante que o Sport vai manter o respeito com o adversário.

– Não ganhamos o título, mas temos a possibilidade de ganhar. Com todo respeito ao Salgueiro, que é um adversário que fez uma campanha muito boa, mas o Sport vai lá para brigar pelo título e fazer um jogo decisivo. Não vamos para jogar apenas uma partida. Vamos para uma decisão – finalizou o comandante rubro-negro.

No primeiro jogo da final, as equipes empataram em 1 a 1. Para garantir a taça, o Sport precisa vencer o Salgueiro por qualquer resultado. Caso haja um novo empate, os times decidem nos pênaltis o dono do título de 2017.

After an injury-ravaged Celtic side scored three times in Seville in the Europa League only a few days ago, it was exciting to see what a fitter Hoops squad could achieve.

They were fabulous from an offensive point of view last Thursday but were missing the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi due to injury and Liel Abada because of religious reasons.

The thought of Abada returning to the team on Sunday alongside Jota was a mouth-watering one. Both have been electrifying since signing for the Glaswegian outfit in the summer, but sadly they couldn’t get going against lowly Livingston this weekend.

The hosts came into the game with just a solitary point to their name but once the full-time whistle was blown, they’d added a tally of three points to their collection as they recorded a famous 1-0 victory.

It was a sluggish performance from Ange Postecoglou’s team, who had somewhat of a European hangover.

They weren’t quick in transition and struggled to create regular opportunities for Albian Ajeti, but it was two players who didn’t even play in midweek who were most disappointing.

Stephen Welsh was beaten to the ball all too easily by Andrew Shinnie for the game’s only goal as he got across the young defender and then rifled home a powerful shot.

Celtic’s defensive problems appear to be mounting but what was most concerning today was the attacking play.

Abada was back in the side but delivered a poor performance compared to the high standards he has set since being signed.

In ten matches prior to their encounter with Livi, he had contributed to eight goals. Unfortunately, there was no similar impact on Sunday.

Livingston set up with a low block and the Israeli attacker found life difficult in breaking it down.

So often full of swagger and pizzazz, the winger was a shadow of the player we’ve seen this season, completing just one of his four dribbles and registering two key passes.

Only one of his eight attempted crosses were successful, which led to a dismal pass success rate of 70%. That happened to be the worst of any Celtic player this weekend as he surrendered possession on 18 occasions.

The 19-year-old was incredibly feeble in physical situations too, as he was bulldozed at times by the Livi defence. He finished the game having won just 12.5% of his defensive duels in a shoddy display at Almondvale.

Abada appears to be better when he has the freedom and space to run in behind but that simply never emerged on Sunday.

يرى محمد ناجي جدو مهاجم منتخب مصر الأسبق أن الأهلي ما زال يمتلك فرصًا كبيرة في الفوز بلقب الدوري المصري الممتاز خلال الموسم الحالي.

ويتصدر الزمالك ترتيب الدوري برصيد 57 نقطة، فيما يأتي بيراميدز خلفه مباشرةً في المرتبة الثانية بـ53 نقطة، بينما يتواجد الأهلي في المركز الثالث بـ48 نقطة.

وقال محمد ناجي جدو أثناء استضافته ببرنامج “الريمونتادا” المذاع على قناة “المحور”: “الدوري ما زال في الملعب بالنسبة للنادي الأهلي وهناك احتمال كبير أن يفقد الزمالك نقاطًا خصوصًا أن أمامه مباريات صعبة، ضد سموحة وفيوتشر وبيراميدز وأعتقد انه لن يقدر أن يحقق المكسب في الثلاث مباريات”.

وأضاف: “الأهلي أمامه فرصة كبيرة ليكون بطل الدوري وامامه فرصة أن يحصد كأس مصر للموسم الحالي وكذلك السوبر المصري، وهو ليس لديه أزمة بل مجرد كبوة فقط”.

وأردف: “الأهلي ما زال في المنافسة وخسارة نهائي كأس مصر أمام الزمالك لا تعني الفشل”.

واختتم: “شيكابالا دوره مميز للغاية ومن أفضل اللاعبين في تاريخ مصر بالطبع، ونصيحتي له أن يبتعد عن فكرة الاهتمام بالاحتفال مع الجمهور وكذلك الهجوم على الأهلي فهو لاعب كبير وهذا لن يضيف له”.

Um dos jogadores mais experientes do elenco do Corinthians, Jô sabe que será difícil o clube manter o lateral-esquerdo Guilherme Arana. Em entrevista coletiva nesta terça-feira, o atacante disse que torce para o lateral-esquerdo permanecer, mas admitiu que é difícil resistir ao assédio europeu.

– Tem uma hora que não dá para segurar, até pela família humilde. A gente torce para que ele fique, mas o assédio é muito grande. Ele chegou numa maturidade em que é bem difícil segurar, ele tem jogado muito e aproveitado as oportunidades – analisou Jô.

O Bordeaux (FRA) fez uma proposta ao Corinthians por Guilherme Arana. O Timão negocia com o clube francês a compra dos direitos econômicos do zagueiro Pablo e a venda da porcentagem que detém do lateral-esquerdo. A única restrição demonstrada pelo clube brasileiro nas conversas até o momento é que Arana saia para a Europa somente no fim do ano.

Assim, Arana pode sair por 9 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 34 milhões) e mais a cessão do zagueiro, que tem valor de compra fixado em 3 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 11 milhões). Dono de 40% dos direitos do lateral, o Corinthians receberia 3,6 milhões de euros (R$ 13,5 milhões) para ceder seu jogador apenas em 2018 e teria 100% de Pablo. As tratativas ocorrem, mas sem pressa, de acordo com as partes envolvidas.

Dirk Nannes, the Victoria left-arm fast bowler, has been signed up by the IPL’s Delhi Daredevils

Dirk Nannes, the Victoria left-arm fast bowler, has been signed up by the IPL’s Delhi Daredevils. Nannes joins the team on the recommendation of Greg Shipperd, who coaches both the Victoria and Delhi sides, and is the third Australian to be signed by the team ahead of the tournament’s second edition, after the Victoria allrounder Andrew McDonald and the New South Wales batsman David Warner.Nannes was part of the Victoria and Middlesex teams that won the domestic Twenty20 competitions in Australia and England last year. “He meets our needs of a quick, quick bowler,” a Delhi spokesperson told Cricinfo. Delhi signed Nannes on January 23, a day before the Twenty20 Big Bash final last week, which Victoria lost to New South Wales by five wickets.He managed only a solitary wicket in the final, but was the third-highest wicket-taker with 12 victims at an average of 13.83 and economy-rate of 6.38. In 2007-08 he helped Victoria to their third successive Twenty20 title with figures of 4 for 23 against Western Australia in the final and finished as the top bowler in the tournament with 12 wickets. He was not as impressive in the subsequent Twenty20 Cup in England, with 14 wickets in nine games at an average of 17.57 and economy-rate of 7.47.By getting Nannes, Delhi have managed to cover for the absence of Mohammad Asif, who quit the IPL for personal reasons, and now also have an express fast bowler in their ranks to join the likes of Glenn McGrath, Farveez Maharoof, Brett Geeves and Ashish Nehra. In addition to consistently peaking 140kph-plus speeds, Nannes gets the ball to swing late, making him a dangerous prospect.

Na Arena do Grêmio, a Ponte Preta foi derrotada por 3 a 1 na tarde do último domingo e Aranha, mais uma vez, foi personagem de polêmicas. Em 2014, quando defendia o Santos, o goleiro foi vítima de injúrias raciais por parte da torcida gremista. Desta vez, Aranha sofreu com vaias e voltou a reclamar da recepção dos torcedores gaúchos, o que não agradou a diretoria, que tenta passar uma borracha no ocorrido.

– Eles não esquecem aquele episódio. Eles são assim aqui. Principalmente na região do Sul do país, é sempre assim. Quando volto aqui, evito ao máximo olhar para a arquibancada, porque cada vez que olho para arquibancada, vejo ódio na cara das pessoas. Eles têm certeza que eu estou errado. É triste ver o conceito de vida que eles têm aqui – declarou o arqueiro após a partida.

Depois de ouvir a declaração do Camisa 1 da Ponte Preta, o presidente do Grêmio, Romildo Bolzan, criticou a postura de Aranha, que reviveu um episódio que marcou negativamente a história do clube.

– (Fico) Decepcionado. A frase que mais marcou nesse episódio todo foi do (ex-) presidente (Fábio) Koff, de quando o Grêmio foi excluído: “Se essa condenação ajudar a reduzir o racismo, me dou por satisfeito”. Aquilo passou para nós, morreu. Já pagamos caro, injustamente. Pagamos coletivamente por uma situação que, sinceramente, não era para tanto. Mas, da memória do torcedor não podemos apagar esse fato. É impossível. O torcedor também sente pelo clube, tanto quanto o dirigente. Apagar da memória aquele fato não foi. Houve uma encenação. Teve um clamor público de tal ordem que levou o Grêmio a condenação – relembrou o presidente gremista.

Em entrevista, Bolzan revelou que, para evitar problemas, houve uma mudança de postura dentro do clube e uma reunião foi realizada entre os dirigentes e integrantes das torcidas organizadas, onde foi pedido que evitassem cantar qualquer canção com o termo “macaco”, que relembraria o episódio.

– O Grêmio trabalhou preventivamente sobre isso. Conversamos com as torcidas organizadas. Pedimos para não ter nenhuma manifestação. Nem aquele cântico. Foi pedido para não ser realizado. E não houve. Mas não se controla todos. O que houve foi uma reação, mas creio que não passou dos limites – disse o mandatário sobre as vaias que o goleiro recebeu durante a partida.

Após três anos, torcedores gremistas levaram para a arquibancada um cartaz de apoio ao goleiro com a mensagem “Aranha!! O tempo passa, mas a dor não! Novamente… perdão por tudo!!! Somos a verdadeira torcida do Grêmio!”. Porém, ao programa Troca de Passes, o arqueiro não voltou atrás nas críticas que tinha feito enquanto deixava o gramado, mas elogiou a intenção dos autores do cartaz.

– É uma bela intenção. Quem escreveu o cartaz, de cara você já vê que é uma pessoa diferente das outras que assistem ao jogo aqui. Infelizmente, o cartaz não reproduz a verdade. A maioria estava me vaiando, pegando no meu pé, e todo sabe o motivo. Por isso, a maioria das entrevistas que eu dei aqui não foram falando sobre o jogo. Fico feliz de ver as atitudes, porque é assim que começa. Tem que semear coisas boas – disse o goleiro.

A indignação do presidente com a declaração do jogador se dá por conta da grande repercussão do caso de injúria racial contra Aranha. Na época, sete torcedores foram identificados por agredirem verbalmente o goleiro e quatro foram processados. Além disso, o STJD puniu o Grêmio com a eliminação da Copa do Brasil de 2014.

Com a vitória por 3 a 1 sobre a Ponte Preta, o Grêmio se mantém na vice-liderança, com 28 pontos. Quatro à frente do Santos, que é o terceiro colocado. Por outro lado, a Ponte Preta perde uma posição, caindo para 16º e vai precisar brigar para não entrar na temida zona de rebaixamento.

Rangers ended their local rival’s period of dominance in Scottish football as they won the Premiership title last season, preventing their arch-rivals from completing the coveted 10-in-a-row.

Steven Gerrard, who joined the club as managed in 2018, was able to construct a side capable of going unbeaten throughout the entire campaign, winning the title in style as they picked up 102 points.

In order to do this, Gerrard needed players who he could trust to put in excellent performances week-in-week-out in the Premiership and one man he trusted explicitly was left-back Borna Barisic.

He started 30 of Rangers’ 38 Premiership matches in defence and was a brick wall at left-back, whilst also offering an attacking edge on the ball. Barisic averaged a sublime WhoScored rating of 7.35 in the top-flight, as he provided 2.2 key passes per game – ending the campaign on one goal and five assists.

This shows that he made a huge contribution to Rangers’ title success, as he was consistently impressive throughout the season and made a difference with his delivery in the final third.

Former Gers player Alex Rae lauded the defender for having ‘terrific quality’ with the ball at his feet. He said:

“He performs at good level week-in, week-out and has terrific quality in the final third of the park.”

Mark Wilson added: “He’s the best left-back in country. He’s improved his defending and supplies assists and is a threat at set pieces.”

The defender arrived at Ibrox in 2018 from Croatian outfit Osijek, having started his career at Dinamo Zagreb. Transfermarkt valued him at £1.8m at the time, with Barisic venturing out of his homeland of Croatia for the first time.

Barisic’s impressive form for Rangers, as aforementioned, has seen his value soar since arriving at the club. Transfermarkt now value the brilliant defender at £5.4m, which is a 200% increase from his initial valuation after leaving Croatia. His valuation has soared over the last couple of seasons and that is a credit to him and the coaching staff at Ibrox.

It shows how much he has been able to thrive under Gerrard’s management, showcasing his brilliance in the Premiership and in the Europa League.

Last season, he averaged an excellent WhoScored rating of 6.97 in Europe as he registered three goals and three assists in 10 appearances from left-back, yet again highlighting the ability he has on the ball to create from defence.

Martin Love left a memorable display in his farewell to the Gabba as his 118 not out was responsible for handing Queensland a 97-run advantage over New South Wales. Love, the state’s leading run-scorer, will retire at the end of the season and his 30th century drove the Bulls to the confident position of 5 for 366.The innings was crucial in gaining two points that moved the Bulls to 24, equal with the second-placed Tasmania, who are struggling in Hobart. Both teams are jostling to face Victoria in the final on March 13. Love, the No. 3, held the order together after the hosts were 3 for 81 and shared vital stands with Andrew Symonds, James Hopes and Chris Hartley, who raised half-centuries.Love stayed for 219 balls and struck 15 fours while his partners operated at a quicker rate. Symonds slammed 52 from 45 deliveries, with 10 boundaries, to provide a timely surge to the innings and show he was still capable of producing an important performance. When Symonds, who is playing his 100th first-class game for Queensland, left after hooking at Grant Lambert (2 for 92) he had scored all but eight runs of his partnership with Love.Hopes followed his 4 for 80 with 55 to settle any fears of a collapse and Hartley continued his strong finish to the summer. After taking six catches, Hartley moved to 82 not out and on the third morning will aim for consecutive centuries.Queensland suffered their first loss with Ryan Broad edging behind on 0 while Shane Watson, who is returning from back stress fractures as a specialist batsman, also failed to score. The opener Nick Kruger (44) played on to Greg Mail before Love settled the situation.Usman Khawaja added three to his overnight 109 and was last man out as the Blues reached 269. Ben Cutting picked up the final wicket to have 3 for 51.

كشف منذر الكبير المدير الفني السابق لمنتخب تونس، حقيقة تلقيه عروضًا من الدوري المصري لتولي تدريب أحد الأندية في مصر.

وقال الكبير خلال تصريحات عبر برنامج “كورة كل يوم” على قناة “الحياة”: “تلقيت بعض الاتصالات الجانبية من بعض الوكلاء ولا توجد أي عروض رسمية، يشرفني التواجد في الدوري المصري إذا تلقيت عرضًا رسميًا”.

ومن جانب آخر، أشاد بثنائي الأهلي والزمالك، علي معلول وسيف الدين الجزيري، قائلًا: “الجزيري لاعب موهوب وقوي بدنيًا ولديه الحس التهديفي، وقدم أداءً رائعًا معي في بطولة كأس العرب”.

وأضاف: “علي معلول لاعب من كوادر المنتخب وهو قائد فريق، وعندما توليت المسؤولية في منتخب تونس قمت بإعادة معلول للمنتخب، هو مدافع عصري لم يأت مثله في إفريقيا”.

وتابع: “معلول قادر على صناعة الأهداف وتسجيلها، وحاسم في المقابلات المصيرية، ومن أفضل ما أنجبت الكرة التونسية على مستوى المدافعين العصريين، وسجل أهداف كمدافع أكثر من المهاجمين الذين يلعبون في الأهلي”.

وأردف: “فرجاني ساسي لاعب الزمالك السابق إضافة لأي نادي ومؤثر وقيادي وقيمة ثابتة، ولديه إمكانيات محترمة يحبها أي مدير فني”.

وعن رأيه في إنهاء تعاقد منتخب مصر مع كيروش، قال: “تحدثت معه كثيرة عن مشاكل الكرة المصرية لمدة 20 دقيقة بعد مباراة مصر وتونس في البطولة العربية، لمست فيه احترافية كبيرة ويمتلك خبرة كبيرة ويفهم عقلية اللاعب العربي، وهو كان إضافة لمنتخب مصر، ولو كان واصل مع المنتخب المصري لأصبح إضافة على المدى البعيد”.
