The Pakistan Cricket Board has sought to justify its demand for a share of income from the Bangladesh Cricket Board by saying that the scheduled tour to Bangladesh is “technically” Pakistan’s home series.According to the present FTP, Bangladesh are supposed to host Pakistan for two Tests, three ODIs and a T20 between April 10 and May 7. However, the PCB is yet to hand the BCB an assurance on the tour because the latter hasn’t confirmed if it will share tour profits and send Bangladesh U19, A or women’s teams to Pakistan.Responding to BCB president Nazmul Hassan’s statements on Monday – where he stated that the Bangladesh board could pay part of the tour costs – the PCB said that the situation was “dramatically different to what had been portrayed”.”Pakistan had toured Bangladesh in 2011, and in accordance with the established principals of reciprocity, it is Bangladesh’s turn to tour Pakistan – which despite a written commitment in 2012, BCB did not honour,” the PCB said in a press release. “So while in principal this tour belongs to Pakistan, in order to accommodate BCB, PCB had shown willingness to visit Bangladesh for two Tests, three ODIs and a T20I in April-May this year.”And since this is a Pakistan tour to be hosted by Bangladesh, hence, the demand for a share in income.”The PCB added: “It also needs to be acknowledged that touring is an expensive proposition, which all Boards finance from profits accruing from home tours. Since this is technically Pakistan’s home tour, PCB is being exceptionally fair in asking Bangladesh to pay a certain percentage to offset its costs.”Hassan had claimed that the PCB had put pressure on the BCB for not touring Pakistan in 2012. Bangladesh had confirmed in an ICC meeting that they would be the first team to tour Pakistan since the 2009 Lahore attack, but backed out soon due to a writ petition in the High Court.Hassan had also claimed the PCB had created more pressure on the BCB by saying Pakistan wouldn’t come to play the Asia Cup in 2014 but was forced to after then ACC chairman N Srinivasan indicated that Afghanistan would replace Pakistan in the tournament.In the last four years, PCB and BCB relations have been embroiled as Bangladesh repeatedly pulled out from touring Pakistan, citing safety and security concerns. During the Zaka Ashraf regime, the PCB had disengaged communication with the BCB and barred its cricketers from featuring in the Bangladesh Premier League. The last full bilateral series between the two teams was when Pakistan toured Bangladesh in late 2011.Pakistan has been forced to host its home series mostly in the UAE but the PCB played down the possibility of hosting teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe at offshore venues. The PCB understands that hosting Bangladesh in the UAE or playing them in their home country is not financially viable.

Anderson Martins e Raniel não treinam e são dúvidas no São Paulo

MatériaMais Notícias

Além de Alexandre Pato e Hernanes como desfalques certos para enfrentar o Goiás, nesta quarta-feira, o São Paulo pode ter mais duas baixas: Anderson Martins e Raniel, que não treinaram com o grupo nesta terça-feira e são dúvidas para a partida. A dupla já iniciou o tratamento para os incômodos.

Durante os 15 minutos em que os jornalistas puderam acompanhar os trabalhos no CT da Barra Funda, foram notadas as ausências do zagueiro e do atacante em campo. Pouco depois, o clube informou o paradeiro da dupla, que provavelmente faria parte dos reservas nesta 21ª rodada.

Anderson Martins teve uma entorse no tornozelo após o treinamento da última segunda-feira, na reapresentação do elenco. Raniel, que já não participou dos trabalhos de segunda, sente dores no joelho. Ambos já estão sob os cuidados do departamento médico são-paulino e são dúvidas para encarar o Goiás.

Se não tiverem condições de jogo para esta quarta, provavelmente deverão estar prontos para enfrentar o Flamengo, no próximo sábado, pois não preocupam. Caso sejam confirmados como baixas, eles se juntam a Alexandre Pato, que se recupera de estiramento na coxa direita e não tem prazo para retorno, e a Hernanes, que cumpre suspensão pelo terceiro amarelo.

Uma provável escalação do Tricolor para a partida contra o Goiás pode ser: Tiago Volpi; Juanfran, Bruno Alves, Arboleda e Reinaldo; Luan (Liziero), Tchê Tchê e Daniel Alves; Antony, Toró e Pablo.

O São Paulo recebe o Goiás nesta quarta-feira, às 21h30, no Morumbi, pela 21ª rodada do Brasileirão-2019. Com 35 pontos, os são-paulinos ocupam a sexta posição na tabela, dez pontos atrás do líder Flamengo e sete do vice-líder Palmeiras. Já os goianos estão na 12ª posição com 24 pontos.

Downton role in spotlight

Paul Downton will face a gruelling enquiry into England’s World Cup failure at a meeting at Lord’s next week when his record as managing director of England cricket will come under serious scrutiny

Is Downton’s job in jeopardy?

Paul Downton will face a gruelling enquiry into England’s World Cup failure at a meeting at Lord’s next week when his record as managing director of England cricket will come under serious scrutiny.Downton will meet the ECB’s new chief executive, Tom Harrison, on Tuesday with some Lord’s insiders suggesting his job is on the line.The head selector, James Whitaker, and coach, Peter Moores, are also expected to attend meetings in the week, though their positions are not understood to be in such jeopardy.ESPNcricinfo understands that Downton’s explanations have not impressed either Harrison or the incoming ECB chairman, Colin Graves, and on Tuesday he will be asked to demonstrate that he has realistic plans for improvement. A failure to do so could result in his sacking.There have been rumblings in some quarters that the England team “needs a leader not a manager”, and the value of the MD role is also being widely debated.The ECB named Hugh Morris as the first MD of England cricket in 2007, following Giles Clarke’s arrival as chairman – part of the governing body’s response to the recommendations of the Schofield Report, commissioned after a dismal Ashes tour in 2006-07.Downton has endured an uncomfortable period in office since his appointment a little over a year ago. His handling of the sacking of Kevin Pietersen proved particularly controversial – he claimed he had “never seen anyone so disengaged” with the rest of the team at the end of the Ashes tour of 2013-14 – while his decision to reappoint Moores to the coaching role has drawn criticism.Downton referred to Moores as “the outstanding coach of his generation” but statistics published by the suggest that his combined record is not only the worst of the four coaches England have employed in the modern era but the worst of any current coach among the top eight Test sides.Downton was obliged to apologise to Pietersen after breaking the terms of the confidentiality agreement between the player and the board, with some at the ECB unhappy at the way the affair has dragged on for a year.There is a strong feeling within the ECB that, had Pietersen simply been dropped rather than sacked, much of the ensuing fuss might have been avoided.The recent intervention of Graves, suggesting there was a way back into the England team for Pietersen if he committed himself to county cricket and scored heavily, might also be interpreted as undermining Downton’s position.The episode is the first major test of Harrison in his new role. While he has kept a low profile in his first six weeks in office, he has orchestrated a major review of the domestic structure which suggests a boldness of approach. Neither he nor Graves were directly involved in the appointment of Downton.England won three Tests in a row against India to clinch last year’s series but they were defeated in all three formats at home to Sri Lanka and humiliated in both the World T20 – where they lost to Netherlands – and the World Cup.Downton’s laid the blame for England’s World Cup group stage exit firmly at the players’ door as he sought to reduce pressure on Moores, claiming that the media were overly anxious for a scapegoat.His removal would increase the chances of Pietersen returning for England. As first indicated by ESPNcricinfo, Pietersen has become increasingly tempted by a return to England’s county game, driven by the possibility that his international career might not be at an end.Expectations are growing that he will cancel his IPL contract and play county cricket in the coming weeks. While several counties – notably Somerset, Lancashire and Leicestershire – have expressed an interest in signing the batsman, he is expected to re-join Surrey.

باتشيكو: لست راضيًا عن التعادل مع صن داونز.. وبيراميدز فريق كبير مثلهم

أكد البرتغالي جايمي باتشيكو المدير الفني لنادي بيراميدز، أنه غير راض عن نتيجة التعادل أمام صن داونز، في المباراة التي جمعتهما اليوم الأحد، ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال إفريقيا.

بيراميدز تعادل سلبياً مع صن داونز، في إطار مواجهات الجولة الثالثة من عمر مباريات دور المجموعات للبطولة الإفريقية، وذلك على استاد لوفتس فيرسفيلد بمدينة بريتوريا.

وقال باتشيكو خلال تصريحات في المؤتمر الصحفي الذي أعقب اللقاء: “الفريق كان يستحق نتيجة أفضل من التعادل، ومثلنا خطورة كبيرة وأضعنا عدة فرص من هجمات مرتدة سريعة على مرمى المنافس، ولولا عدم التوفيق في إحراز تلك الفرص لخرج الفريق بنتيجة أفضل”.

وأضاف: “من الضروري تحية لاعبي الفريق على الأداء الرائع والمثالي، حيث بذل اللاعبون قصارى جهدهم طوال دقائق اللقاء وتفوقوا في أوقات كثيرة على المنافس، وفي الشوط الأول لعب بيراميدز بدفاع لغلق جميع المساحات أمام صن داونز”.

وواصل: “في الشوط الثاني تم تطوير اللعب بنزول عبد الله السعيد ومصطفى فتحي، وبالفعل الفريق خلق الكثير من الفرص وكان قادرًا على العودة للقاهرة بنتيجة أفضل من التعادل”.

وتابع: “صن داونز فريق كبير وأحد أهم أندية القارة ويمتلك العديد من الحلول في جميع المراكز، ولكن بيراميدز فريق كبير هو الآخر في القارة السمراء، وقادرون على مواصلة المشوار بكل قوة”.

وأكمل: “علينا نسيان سريعًا نتيجة لقاء بريتوريا والتركيز في المباريات المقبلة، لأننا أمامنا مواجهة هامة في الدوري أمام بلدية المحلة ثم بعدها يجب التركيز في لقاء الجولة الرابعة أمام صن داونز بالقاهرة من أجل الفوز والاقتراب من التأهل للدور ربع النهائي”.

وبعد التعادل بين بيراميدز وصن داونز، تتساوي كل فرق المجموعة الأولي لـ دوري أبطال إفريقيا التي تضم أيضاً مازيمبي ونواذيبو، برصيد 4 نقاط.

Graves lobbies for four-day Tests

Colin Graves, the incoming ECB chairman who has vowed to modernise English cricket, has voiced his approval for four-day Test cricket

David Hopps31-Mar-20155:53

Are four-day Tests feasible ?

Colin Graves, the incoming ECB chairman, has voiced his personal approval for four-day Test cricket in a move that signals nothing is sacred as he prepares his attempts to modernise professional cricket in England.Graves chose to reveal all to one of the bastions of traditionalism – the MCC website – as he proposed the first of what will be several radical proposals which he believes will reinvigorate English cricket, make it more financially viable and put it more in tune with the culture of the times.The suggestion of four-day Tests was floated in a wide-ranging ECB discussion document that was exclusively revealed by ESPNcricinfo last month, but this is the first time that Graves has admitted he personally supports what would be the biggest change to international cricket in modern times.English Test crowds still remain relatively healthy, but increasingly there are disturbing signs that the virus of dwindling Test attendances is beginning to eat into Test attendances outside London.Graves told the MCC website, : “Personally, I think we should look at four-day Test cricket and play 105 overs a day starting at 10.30 in the morning, and finish when you finish as all the grounds now have lights,” he said.”Every Test match would start on a Thursday, with Thursday and Friday being corporate days and then Saturday and Sunday the family days.”From a cost point of view you’d lose that fifth day, which would save a hell of a lot of money from the ground’s point of view and the broadcasters. I would look at that. In reality, there’s not many people who turn up and watch it on the fifth day.”Graves’ ambitions for 105 overs a day would lose only 30 overs on the current five-day minimum of 450 overs, but they sound somewhat idealistic. Although a rate of less than 18 overs an hour in a six-hour day seems just about feasible, even for the modern game, Test matches routinely expand into overtime just to complete 90. An ODI, which pretty much feels as long as cricket can manage, stretches to 100.A preponderance of pace bowlers, lengthy stoppages for tactical discussions, drinks breaks running overtime, donning of protective equipment on the field, and a generally dilatory approach all contribute to a Test over rate that has been around 15 overs an hour now for a generation.The revelation that the ECB was even mooting four-day Tests from Test purists worldwide. But whether such a move would make Tests more profitable, and would receive a favourable reaction from a greater number of spectators, remains relatively unexplored.Cricket would also lose one of its enduring charms: the gradual deterioration of a pitch that only really begins to turn sharply on the final two days.Graves, whose five-year term begins on May 15, will begin to promote his views when he is a guest at the MCC World Cricket Committee, where he has been invited to speak this July.His determination that cricket moves with the times, and does not become isolated from the culture of the nation, is also seen in his driving forward of discussions about a more high-profile Twenty20 tournament in England that would be a real competitor to the IPL and the Big Bash League in Australia.”Let’s look forward, let’s look at what the public wants because we are in the entertainment business and that’s what we’ve got to remember,” he said.It is a message that he will ram home repeatedly in the coming months.Four-day Tests remain likely to be a battle that Graves loses – at least in the short term – but his willingness to think radically, based on an assessment of what the public wants, displays a willingness to embrace change, at 67, that has long been beyond the ken of cricket administrators in England.

Pernas e sequência pesam, e Flamengo leva lições para evitar as 'cordas' em Porto Alegre

MatériaMais Notícias

No 0 a 0 com o São Paulo, o Flamengo não esteve perto de ser intenso e nem de ser o controlador no campo de ataque como vinha sendo. Motivos? Além dos méritos defensivos e das contestadas faltas em profusão dos visitantes, o que se viu no Maracanã foi um Rubro-Negro sem “perna” para fazer valer o seu estilo de jogo. E há lições para o duelo mais importante do ano.

> Confira a classificação do Brasileiro e simule os resultados

Na quarta-feira, o time de Jorge Jesus terá o desafio que tende a ser o mais encardido de 2019: o Grêmio, pela partida de ida das semifinais da Libertadores, em Porto Alegre. Renato Gaúcho poupará, possivelmente, todos os titulares neste domingo. A competitividade desde o minuto inicial, como vista contra o Internacional, também pela Libertadores, e contra Santos e Palmeiras, pelo Brasileiro, será a chave para uma resposta imediata positiva.

– São dois jogos difíceis, muito equilibrados. (O Grêmio) É uma equipe que vai nos colocar nas cordas, o que raramente tem acontecido. Estamos habituados a comandar o jogo e não é o que vai acontecer. Temos que estar preparados e dar a resposta quando tivermos a bola. Nossa defesa tem melhorado, não é fácil fazer gol no Flamengo. Estamos confiantes e entusiasmados.

-Vai ser um grande jogo e espero que o Flamengo esteja em um nível alto para competir e dar a resposta – completou Jesus, em entrevista coletiva.

Não haverá espaço para folga. O Rubro-Negro já se reapresenta neste domingo pela manhã, no Ninho do Urubu, a fim de regenerar logo os atletas para que a dura sequência de jogos seja amenizada e não volte a amolecer o ritmo da equipe de Jesus, a entrar num ringue onde cada centímetro nas disputas pela bola pode fazer a diferença, sobretudo pelos estilos símiles dos envolvidos.
