Charlotte Edwards’ mum called it “a miracle” but in truth, Southern Vipers had it coming, even if it didn’t feel like it at times this season.The first team to claim the domestic double, with a convincing five-wicket win against Blaze in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy Final at Northampton on Sunday, has been building a juggernaut under the guidance of a coach who has also won the inaugural Women’s Premier League title and the Women’s Hundred in the space of six months.But while the prospect of winning both the 20-over competition which bears her name and the 50-over title was prominent during Vipers’ 2022 campaign, when they won the former but lost the final of the latter as Northern Diamonds prevented them from winning a third RHFT in a row, this achievement came against the backdrop of an unremarkable start to the season which saw them ranked fifth when the competition paused in August for the Hundred.Related

Windsor ties knot on Southern Vipers domestic double

Vipers won their last five group games, including three after the mid-season resumption, to qualify directly for the final, in which they defeated the same opposition as in the Charlotte Edwards Cup title decider in June.”I just can’t believe it,” Edwards said. “To think that the team has played the way they have done, stood up when they needed to. We were miles off the pace, if I’m honest. I just felt we had the momentum coming into today, but finals are finals and you never quite know. To have pulled this off is quite remarkable, as my mum says, ‘a miracle’.”It was Edwards’ 11th final and seventh trophy in 12 campaigns as coach – and she isn’t finished. After a 10-day break, she will head to Australia to join up with Sydney Sixers for the upcoming WBBL, where her side will be looking to go one better than last season’s runners-up finish.”I’ve got good players, good staff, good people, and people who are committed and are winners,” Edwards said of her successful teams. “When I recruit, I look at the character.”A case in point is Emily Windsor, whose match-winning 57 off 53 balls on Sunday was typical of what Edwards described as her effectiveness, smarts and “big heart”. Two years ago, Windsor had played a similar knock when Vipers defeated Northern Diamonds at the same ground for back-to-back RHFT titles.Windsor was well supported on this occasion by Freya Kemp, one of three 18-year-olds in Vipers’ Final line-up , alongside Ava Lee and Mary Taylor, which proves that Edwards is also building for the future. Kemp was making her return as a batter only during this domestic season after a back stress fracture interrupted a promising start to her England career as an allrounder.Freya Kemp and Emily Windsor leave the field after Southern Vipers won the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy Final•Getty Images

“That is as good as I’ve seen her play, and for England that is a massive highlight,” Edwards said of Kemp. “Once she gets bowling again, she will be one of the best allrounders in the world.”I just prepare the team as best I can. If we’d lost today, it wouldn’t have made me a good or bad coach; that’s what coaching is about – preparing the players and hopefully getting the reward for the players when they do well like that. It is something special. Watching Kemp bat like she did was the highlight of my season.”Windsor was also full of praise for her batting partner, with whom she shared an unbroken stand of 94 for the sixth wicket after Vipers had slipped from 100 for 2 to 109 for 5.”She has the most unbelievable amount of talent, and I think we’ve seen that,” Windsor said. “Early on in the innings, I was saying to her: ‘Let’s be there at the end, mate; let’s be the ones who do this.'”How she played is probably the best I’ve seen her play. She played with maturity, at points she was telling me to calm down, which is a challenge for her. It is really special for her to be there at the end; she probably should have hit the winning runs.”It was Windsor who completed the job with a four over deep extra cover off Kirstie Gordon.”I don’t know what it is, but throughout my career, when it’s been tough and when there’s pressure on, my game has just seemed to go up a gear,” Windsor said. “But I think when I was out there today, I just wanted to do it for the team. It has been a special year for this group; the squad and all the playing staff have dug so deep just to get us to this position. To go straight through to the final, we couldn’t even believe that. To win it is probably the most special that we have done.”Windsor also paid tribute to her coach: “For me, Lottie just gets the best out of every player that she has in her team. She treats everyone as individuals. She gets to know her players on and off the field, and she knows what makes us tick.”That is why teams perform for her: people love playing for her, it’s a great environment. She just always finds a way of making things fun and getting the best out of her players. It is an absolute pleasure to play under her. Her knowledge of the game is pretty phenomenal, and the experiences that she has had.”

India-NZ semi-final switched from fresh pitch to used surface

There is no ICC requirement that World Cup knockout matches must be played on unused pitches

Rohit: I believe toss is not a factor at Wankhede

The first semi-final of the 2023 ODI World Cup, between India and New Zealand in Mumbai on Wednesday afternoon, will be played on a used pitch that has already staged two matches in the tournament.ESPNcricinfo understands the semi-final was initially supposed to be played on Pitch 7, the central strip of the Wankhede Stadium’s pitch block. Pitch 7 is a fresh surface that was not used in the league stage of the World Cup.But a decision was made to shift the game to Pitch 6, which is slightly off-centre and has already hosted two matches in the tournament: South Africa’s 229-run win over England on October 21, and India’s 302-run victory over Sri Lanka on November 2.The change represents a late deviation from the pitch allocation devised before the World Cup. A source told ESPNcricinfo: “6-8-6-8-7 was the planned rotation at Wankhede. 6-8-6-8 is what has been used so far.”After the semi-final had begun, the ICC released a statement saying the change was not unusual. “Changes to planned pitch rotations are common towards the end of an event of this length, and has already happened a couple of times. This change was made on the recommendation of the venue curator in conjunction with our host. The ICC independent pitch consultant was apprised of the change and has no reason to believe the pitch won’t play well.”According to the ICC’s Playing Conditions for the World Cup, the relevant ‘ground authority’ is “responsible for the selection and preparation of the pitch” before any given match – in this case, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA). The ICC also have an independent pitch consultant, Andy Atkinson, who works alongside local groundstaff.The Daily Mail reported that Atkinson has become frustrated by changes to pre-agreed plans throughout the World Cup, and that he speculated in a leaked email whether the pitch for the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday “will be the first ever ICC CWC final to have a pitch which has been specifically chosen and prepared to their stipulation at the request of the team management and/or the hierarchy of the home nation board.”Should India make the final in Ahmedabad, they would face either Australia or South Africa. Pat Cummins put his faith in the ICC to oversee the pitch process.”Yeah, I saw that [the report]…obviously ICC have an independent pitch curator who manages that so I’m sure they are all over making sure it’s fair for both teams,” he said. “So far this tournament [on pitches] that we’ve played on I’ve not seen any issue.”There is no ICC requirement which states that knockout fixtures must be played on fresh pitches. The only stipulation in their Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process reads: “It is expected that venues that are allocated the responsibility of hosting a match will present the best possible pitch and outfield conditions for that match.”The semi-finals of the 2019 ODI World Cup, in England four years ago, were both played on fresh pitches at Old Trafford and Edgbaston. But last year, both T20 World Cup semi-finals were played on used pitches: one at Adelaide Oval, the other at the Sydney Cricket Ground.Both India and New Zealand players inspected the pitch at the Wankhede from close quarters on Tuesday evening before it was covered by groundstaff early during India’s training session under floodlights.

Rogério Ceni destaca necessidade de 'força mental' em reta final do São Paulo no Brasileirão

MatériaMais Notícias

Rogério Ceni enxergou questão psicológica como um dos grandes agravantes do São Paulo na derrota por 3 a 1 contra o Fluminense, no Maracanã, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro.
Embora o Tricolor paulista tenha feito um bom primeiro tempo, com grandes oportunidades e gol de Luciano, aos 30 minutos, o segundo tempo foi extremamente abaixo.

Logo no primeiro minuto, Germán Cano buscou um empate. Em quinze minutos, já havia marcado três gols. Desta forma, o São Paulo segue na oitava colocação da tabela da competição, com 51 pontos, e ainda mais preocupado com a necessidade de conseguir uma vaga na Copa Libertadores.

De acordo com dados do FootStats, na etapa final da partida, foram sete finalizações do Fluminense contra apenas uma do Tricolor. Durante a coletiva de imprensa pós-jogo, Rogério Ceni analisou o resultado e reconheceu este ‘apagão’.

– Temos que jogar até o final, ainda estamos brigando pela classificação. Achei o primeiro tempo bem jogado, fizemos bons contra-ataques, Igor puxando por um lado, Patrick do outro. Tivemos várias oportunidades. No segundo tempo, Fluminense cresceu bastante, deixamos um espaço entre os zagueiros. Achei que o Patrick estava desgastado, não estava conseguindo se recompor. Galoppo entrou para fazer a mesma função – disse.

Ceni, porém, reconheceu um desgaste mental no elenco após o primeiro gol de Cano. Para ele, esse ponto foi o grande responsável pelo resultado negativo fora de casa, destacando que também não foi uma exceção, mas que em outras ocasiões, a força psicológica também pesou.

Segundo o treinador, o elenco precisa se recompor porque a busca pela vaga na Libertadores segue viva. Na terça-feira (8), às 21h30, encontra o Internacional no Morumbi pela penúltima rodada do Brasileirão.

– Tomamos gol no primeiro minuto, acho que quando sofremos um gol, precisamos ficar mais forte psicologicamente. Precisamos de mais força mental. Não era esperado, era um lance que poderíamos ter evitado. Não podemos nos abater tanto, abaixar tanto a cabeça – disse.

– Conversei rápido, vamos treinar amanhã pela manhã. O espaço é curto para terça-feira. Falei para eles que precisamos ter força mental. Viramos jogos no Morumbi, mas fora de casa isso acontece às vezes. Não podemos ceder ao adversário com um baque logo no início do segundo tempo – completou.

Dravid: KL Rahul 'very keen' on giving wicketkeeping a go

“He has kept really well in one-day cricket. So just a question of transferring that into red-ball cricket,” says the head coach

ESPNcricinfo staff24-Dec-20232:05

Can India conquer the final frontier?

KL Rahul has started only one first-class match as the designated wicketkeeper, but that doesn’t seem like it will hold India back from playing him as a wicketkeeper in the two-Test series in South Africa. Two days before the first Test in Centurion, coach Rahul Dravid spoke at length about the challenge for Rahul but also the opportunities it opens up for both Rahul, who will be making a Test comeback, and India.”I see it as an exciting challenge and an opportunity for him to certainly do something different,” Dravid said. “With Ishan [Kishan] not being available, the opportunity came up. We have a couple of keepers we can choose from. Rahul is certainly one. We have had this discussion with him, we’ve discussed this with him. You know, he is very confident, he is very keen on giving it a go. We do understand that it’s probably something he has not done as often. He has been doing it regularly in 50-overs cricket. So that’s certainly tough, you know, to play 50 overs and then bat as well in a full day. That can take a lot out of your body.”So he has prepared well, I must say, over the last five, six months. He has done a lot of keeping, even though it’s in the white-ball format. But this will be a new and exciting challenge for him as well. I guess one of the things here is that if anything there is not going to be that much of spin bowling. Probably more pace bowling here than there is spin, so it will ease him into that role a little bit if anything.Related

“It’s something that we will see how it goes and how it pans out, but it’s really nice to have someone like him and the options that he provides us. Just having his ability with the bat would be something that would be really useful. And let’s see how he goes with the gloves. I mean, he has kept really well in one-day cricket. So just a question of now transferring that into red-ball cricket for longer.”The window has opened up for Rahul, who scored a century as an opener on India’s last tour of South Africa, in the absence of the injured Rishabh Pant, who scored one in the middle order himself. India are conscious their keeper contribute with the bat.”For us, the big challenge is if we can really put some runs on the board and score those critical, extra 60-70 runs that gives you a great chance. If I go back to the last series that I was here, the one thing we did here [in the first Test] really well was we had a really good first innings. We had a really good first day and got to 327 in the first innings. If you can put up those kinds of scores on challenging wickets, you put yourself ahead in a Test match. But in the next two Test matches, I just felt in our third innings, we could not score those 50, 60 extra runs. You know, we just felt short and they bowled well.”Since the last trip, India have seen the introduction of more attacking batters. Dravid said they weren’t asking the young batters to alter the game but to be aware of match situations.”We encourage the players to play the way they feel most comfortable in,” Dravid said. “In the end, you are judged by the results you produce. The guys know that, they understand that. We want to encourage them to play in the way that they play, but also keeping in view the conditions and keeping certain sort of tactical things that you have to be aware of when you play in South Africa. The nature of the ball and how that behaves over the course of 80 overs and the kind of shots you can play may be in the early part of innings vis-a-vis what you might be able to do later on.”I think there’s a balance between finding that, just having the cricket smarts and to read a game and to understand the situation and play according to the situation. But of course, allowing yourself to express yourself. So certainly, we’ve got guys who do play their shots and we are not going to hold them back, and we are going to allow them to express themselves, and hopefully they’ll make some smart decisions when the situation arrives.”

Para ter reforço, São Paulo estuda intensificar processo de naturalização de Arboleda

MatériaMais Notícias

Depois de ver o próprio Gatito Fernández ir a público, confirmar o interesse do São Paulo em seu futebol e admitir que a renovação de contrato com o Botafogo está complicada, o clube do Morumbi admite que pretende em 2023 tirar da gaveta um projeto que acabou esquecido, para usar como argumento para o goleiro paraguaio: a naturalização do equatoriano Arboleda.

+ Veja as notas dadas aos jogadores do São Paulo na vitória sobre o Juventude, dadas pela equipe do LANCE!

Segundo o LANCE! apurou, o número de estrangeiros no plantel são-paulino foi um dos fatores questionado por Fernández em seu contato inicial com o clube para avaliar o interesse em jogar no Morumbi.

O motivo é claro: caso o Tricolor passe o limite de cinco estrangeiros por jogo, estabelecido pelo regulamento da CBF, o goleiro não teria uma posição de titular garantida.

Atualmente, além de Arboleda, o São Paulo conta com o uruguaio Gabriel Neves, o colombiano Colorado, o venezuelano Ferraresi e os argentinos Bustos e Calleri. Todos vêm sendo constantemente relacionados para as partidas pelo fato de o zagueiro se recuperar de cirurgia no tornozelo esquerdo.

Agora liberado pelo departamento médico, tirará o lugar de uma das opções citadas, caso seja relacionado pelo técnico Rogério Ceni nas partidas finais do Campeonato Brasileiro.

Uma fonte ouvida pelo L! admitiu que é uma situação pela qual Gatito não quer passar.E há motivos para se preocupar. Arboleda, Bustos, Ferraresi e Calleri possuem contrato para iniciar 2023 no Tricolor. Emprestado pelo Nacional de Montevidéu, Gabriel Neves terá a cláusula de compra exercida pela equipe do Morumbi. Ou seja, dos gringos, apenas Colorado pode deixar o São Paulo, deixando a equipe com o limite de cinco estrangeiros.

De todos os gringos são-paulinos, Arboleda preenche os requisitos legais para pedir a naturalização brasileira ordinária. Está no Tricolor desde 2017, ou seja, mora no país há mais de quatro anos, o principal requisito legal. Também se comunica com fluência em português e não possui condenação penal.

São Paulo e Arboleda conversaram sobre o assunto no início do ano. E o camisa 5 se mostrou favorável. Esse, inclusive, foi um dos fatores nas negociações para renovação de seu contrato até o fim de 2024. O processo, rápido, de cerca de 15 dias, não afetaria suas convocações para o selecionado do Equador.

O curioso é que Gatito, alvo são-paulino para ser titular do gol no ano que vem, também atende os mesmos requisitos. Só no Botafogo está desde 2017, mas jogou antes por Vitória e Figueirense.

DIREITOS E DEVERES DE ARBOLEDA BRASILEIRO

1 – PODE MUDAR SEU NOME PARA ‘ALGO MAIS NACIONAL’

Direito presente na Constituição, o zagueiro poderia mudar seu nome e adotar uma lista de sobrenomes considerados tipicamente nacionais. Viria aí ‘Roberto Andrade’ ou ‘Roberto Silva’?

2 – JURAMENTO À BANDEIRA PODERIA SER EVENTO CAPITALIZADO PELO SÃO PAULO

O juramento à bandeira é a cerimônia pelo qual todo naturalizado passa na hora de retirar o seu RG. Em crise financeira, o Tricolor poderia fazer um evento aberto à torcida para ver o equatoriano cantando o nosso hino.

3 – ARBOLEDA PODE SE ENVOLVER NA (POLARIZADA) VIDA POLÍTICA NACIONAL

Um documento que o equatoriano terá direito, se naturalizado, é o título de eleitor. Ou seja, a cada dois anos poderá participar da ‘festa da democracia’ e se juntar a milhões de brasileiros no ritual em que escolhemos nossos representantes. Também poderá se candidatar a cargos no legislativo e executivo, menos presidente. Para esse, é necessário ser brasileiro nato.

Outro ponto do qual Arboleda não escapa é do serviço militar obrigatório. Uma comissão decide se o equatoriano cumprirá o período mesmo depois dos 18 anos ou dispensado. Ou seja, terá reservista ou ajudará nossa nobre corporação na missão de pintar guias e asfaltar ruas. Ah sim, assina um termo se comprometendo a atuar pelo lado brasileiro em caso de conflito com o Equador. Senta a tábua Robert!

Harris and Bancroft audition for Australia's opening spot

They made 49 and 53 respectively in the tour game against Pakistan in Canberra

Cameron Bancroft added a half-century to his impressive tally of runs this season but both he and Marcus Harris missed the opportunity for a substantial score in their bid for an Australia Test recall on the second day of the tour game against Pakistan in Canberra.The opening pair, plus Matt Renshaw who is at No. 3 for the Prime Minister’s XI, are in a tussle to replace David Warner when he retires from Test cricket in January although the next opener may yet come from outside of those three.Renshaw and Cameron Green, who is set to be part of the discussions for the future shape of Australia’s top order, were unbeaten at stumps with a chance to make a mark on the third day in what remain docile conditions.”It’s a good debate,” Harris, who fell for 49, said of a potential batting order reshuffle. “You’d have to ask [the selectors] what they want to do. It’s up to them. Opening the batting is not the easiest thing in the world but they’ve probably got a bit of time before they have to make that decision. It’s up to them.”Harris, who holds a Cricket Australia contract, played the most recent of his 14 Tests against England last January before being dropped following Usman Khawaja’s stunning return. A game earlier he had made 76 in tough conditions at the MCG.”I feel like I’ve had seven or eight years of good cricket,” he said. “Probably ever since I’ve moved to Victoria feel like I’ve proven myself enough, especially in domestic cricket, whether or not in international cricket that’s up for debate and other people’s opinion. In my last couple of Tests felt I was just getting going then things out of my control didn’t go my way, but that’s okay.”I’ve been in this position the last few years, so if it comes down to one game then so be it,” Harris added of a potential recall. “It’s always nice to make runs whenever you are playing, it always helps, but unfortunately got out for 40-odd so not the greatest thing in the world but things happen.”Pakistan had declared at lunch on the second day shortly after Shan Masood brought up his double-century then Bancroft, the leading Sheffield Shield run-scorer of the season having held that title last summer as well, and Harris added 96 for the first wicket.With Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Wasim all rested for this match, Pakistan are taking a look at others who may feature in Perth next week so it was not the strongest attack Bancroft and Harris could face.Abrar Ahmed finished the day with figures of 19-0-54-1•Getty Images

Masood set fields to exploit the pair’s perceived weaknesses, with a leg slip for Bancroft and a packed gully and backward point area for Harris. Bancroft edged through the cordon against Mir Hamza and Harris flashed at a couple of drives, but there were no early chances.Progress was sedate with a slow pitch and sluggish outfield making free-scoring hard work and it was Harris who took the responsibility of forcing the pace. Three times he advanced at legspinner Abrar Ahmed to send him over the leg side. However, it was an attempted repeat of the stroke that brought his downfall for 49 when he found mid-on and the frustration was clear as he walked off. It has been an up-and-down season so far for Harris with Shield scores of 164 and 73 alongside seven innings under 20.”Was good to spend some time in the middle. Disappointing to get out the way I did, but a pretty slow going sort of a day,” Harris said. “It’s been one of those [seasons] where I’ve got a few good balls early, a few interesting wickets then mixed in with some good scores which is the way it can be as an opening batter. My game feels in good order, I’ve felt really good probably the last month.”Bancroft’s half-century came from 124 balls – his scoring rate could yet become a factor in the Test considerations – before he was lbw to Khurram Shahzad who got one to nip back.Of Pakistan’s bowlers, allrounder Aamer Jamal produced a bustling spell either side of tea which created a few uncomfortable moments while left-armer Hamza’s second spell provided some threat.Earlier, the morning session had largely been the story of Masood raising his third first-class double-century from 295 balls to leave him in good heart ahead of the Test series.”It’s always nice to spend some valuable time in the middle,” Masood said. “Obviously conditions are a bit different but a sign of good players and good teams is how you adapt to different conditions. Each ground, each opposition has a different challenge.”Jordan Buckingham completed a five-wicket haul, the third of his young career, when he had Hamza fending to leg gully having also claimed his third scalp down the leg side when Jamal nicked a glance.

وأوضح المصدر ، أن ليفربول يعتبر مبلغ 40 مليون يورو ، المطلوب من قبل يوفنتوس لبيع لويز باظهًا بعض الشيء، ويريد النادي الإنجليزي تخفيض هذا السعر.

وأردف المصدر، أن نادي نوتينجهام فورست على رأس الفرق الراغبة في ضم لويز، بجانب توتنهام هوتسبير وإيفرتون وليدز يونايتد، إضافة إلى وست هام يونايتد وليفربول.

واختتم المصدر قائلًا، إن لويز رفض عرضًا من الدوري التركي للعب في صفوف فناربخشة ، حيث يريد اللاعب الاستمرار في اللعب على مستوى عال في الوقت الحالي من مسيرته.

لويز سبق وتألق في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز مع أستون فيلا، قبل التوقيع الموسم الماضي مع يوفنتوس.
