Batting went into fifth gear at the Aorangi Oval in Timaru as Canterbury, boosted by Rob Nicol’s century, hit 410 for 5 – a record total in New Zealand domestic cricket. Otago took up the challenge in their chase and Neil Broom, who helped himself to a big hundred, made Canterbury sweat but they ultimately won by 39 runs.Nicol and Michael Papps got Canterbury going with an opening stand of 160 in 25 overs. Papps made a quick 78 off 79 balls before he was bowled by Broom. Canterbury more tham doubled their score during the second half of the innings, propelled by another century stand. Nicol and Peter Fulton added 127 for the second wicket before Nicol departed for 132. Fulton fell 12 short of his century but there was more misery in store for the Otago bowlers as Shannan Stewart led a late assault, smashing 55 off 21 balls – with four fours and five sixes – to take Canterbury past 400.That surpassed the 376 for 3 by Central Districts against Otago at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, in 1996-97. The only Otago bowler to concede less than six an over was Nathan McCullum, who took 1 for 56 off his ten overs.Otago lost Leighton Morgan for 4 in the second over but the joy was shortlived for Canterbury as Broom cut loose, as did Shaun Haig who made 46. Three consecutive half-century stands (including two 90-plus stands) made things interesting. When McCullum fell in the 41st over, Otago had lost half their side with another 131 needed. Their best hope was for Broom to stick around till the very end but he fell in the 43rd over for a career-best 164, coming off 130 balls with 12 fours and seven sixes. Ian Butler’s frenetic unbeaten 53 off 26 balls gave Otago hope but in the end, their brave efforts ended at 371. A total of 781 runs were scored, making it the overall fourth highest match aggregate in limited-overs.The win puts Canterbury in second place in the points table after five rounds, but Otago are at the bottom.

Cruzeiro treina e pode contar com reforços contra o Vitória

MatériaMais Notícias

Alguns jogadores do Cruzeiro voltaram a treinar na Toca da Raposa na tarde desta quinta-feira. Alisson, que foi poupado diante do Avaí, devido a dores musculares, treinou com o grupo normalmente. Outro jogador que também apareceu em campo foi Arrascaeta, desfalque do Cruzeiro nos últimos três jogos. O atleta participou apenas do “bobinho”, atividade de aquecimento. Já o volante argentino Ariel Cabral, que se recupera de uma lesão no tornozelo esquerdo, participou de todo o treinamento. Ele já vem trabalhando em campo há algum tempo e tem chances de retornar aos jogos ainda neste ano. Vale destacar que o atacante Rafael Sobis seguiu fora de combate, fazendo trabalhos na academia.

O próximo confronto da Raposa é o Vitória, neste domingo, às 17h (de Brasília), pela 35ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro. O técnico Mano Menezes não terá à disposição os meias Thiago Neves e Robinho, visto que os dois cumprirão suspensão automática. Para substituí-los, o treinador deve optar por Arrascaeta e Alisson. Murilo, que cumpriu suspensão contra o Avaí, deve retomar a titularidade.

O provável time Cruzeiro para o jogo será: Fábio; Galhardo, Murilo, Léo e Diogo Barbosa; Henrique, Lucas Romero, Rafinha, Arrascaeta e Alisson; Jonata.

São Paulo mata jogo em 5 minutos, bate o Santos e se distancia do Z4

MatériaMais Notícias

O Santos briga pelo título do Campeonato Brasileiro, enquanto o São Paulo para escapar do rebaixamento, mas no início do clássico deste sábado parecia o contrário. Em ritmo elétrico, o Tricolor fez vantagem no primeiro tempo e definiu a vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o rival, que produziu muito aquém daquilo que se espera. Resultado que distancia o time de Dorival Júnior do Z4, agora com 40 pontos, e o Peixe de Levir Culpi do título, com 53.

O São Paulo definiu a partida em cinco minutos. No embalo da torcida, novamente protagonista em termos de apoio e festa, pressionou o rival no campo de ataque e chegou aos gols pelos pés de Hernanes. Aos 16, ele lançou, de pé esquerdo, Marcos Guilherme, que saiu na cara de Vanderlei. O atacante encobriu o goleiro e abriu o placar. Pouco depois, outro golpe. Em jogada de contra-ataque, pé em pé, Hernanes deixa Cueva na cara do gol. O peruano deu um leve tapa, vencendo Vanderlei: 2 a 0 Tricolor aos 21 minutos de jogo.

O atropelo inicial pareceu nocautear o Santos, mas o São Paulo desacelerou. Desnorteado, o time de Levir Culpi parecia entregue. Limitava-se a jogar a bola em Bruno Henrique, que levava vantagem sobre Militão, mas sem profundidade. Sidão pouco sofreu. Até que o Peixe contou com um erro da arbitragem para diminuir. Foi marcado, incorretamente, escanteio. A zaga tricolor conseguiu afastar, mas a bola sobrou para Alison, que emendou um balaço de perna esquerda: 2 a 1, aos 31 minutos de jogo.

A partir daí, com o placar definido, o jogo entou em uma tônica só. O Santos tentava sair pelos lados, sobretudo com Bruno Henrique, e o São Paulo tocava a bola no campo santista, quando não saía em contra-ataque. A pelota geralmente passava pelos pés de Hernanes, que levava o maior perigo ao clarear as jogadas para os companheiros. Ativo, Cueva também incomodava a marcação santista.

Na mesma toada, por diversas vezes o São Paulo poderia ter definido o embate, mas a bola só rodeava a área santista. Em velocidade, o time de Levir Culpi tentava responder, mas sem eficiência. Apagado, o máximo que Ricardo Oliveira conseguiu foi pedir pênalti após disputa com Rodrigo Caio, que levou a melhor no duelo. Aos 32 minutos, Hernanes deixou novamente Marcos Guilherme de frente com Vanderlei, mas o atacante chutou na trave.

Venceu quem foi melhor, e deu um prêmio para seu torcedor. Na recuperação do São Paulo no Brasileiro, a torcida tem papel fundamental. Torcida que escoltou o time até o estádio, apoiou o tempo inteiro com 40.004 pessoas no público total, e representou todo um país ao vaiar Gilmar Mendes, ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal que acompanhou o jogo das tribunas. Ele é santista e ainda teve de ouvir coro de “ladrão”. Elementar.

Newcastle eye Man Utd’s Jesse Lingard

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Newcastle United have now ‘started’ contacts over a potential move for Jesse Lingard in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Developing story…

The Times claimed last week that the St James’ Park club have offered a record deal to the 28-year-old would make him the highest earner in their history and have duly made the Manchester United midfielder their priority signing next month.

His current contract at Old Trafford is set to expire in the summer, meaning that he can leave as a free agent in just a few months’ time.

As such, January may present the perfect opportunity for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) consortium to pounce, as the Red Devils will surely want to cash in at the risk of losing him for nothing.

The Latest: Contacts have ‘started’

As per Italian football journalist and transfer expert Romano, contacts have now ‘started’ with Newcastle over a potential move for Lingard, although ‘nothing’ has been agreed as of yet.

They are ‘seriously interested’ in bringing him to Tyneside, although it is an ‘open race’ for his signature.

The Verdict: Get it done

The fact that Lingard can leave for free in the summer means that the Magpies could get him on the cheap in the winter window, and he could seriously help in their push to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Described in complimentary fashion as a ‘joke’ and a player who ‘has four lungs’ by former United youngster Angel Gomes recently, his energy and work rate would be much appreciated among the Toon Army as they bid to avoid the drop. The 28-year-old has also shown his quality on the ball, with nine goals and a further five assists during a very successful loan spell at West Ham United last season (Transfermarkt).

With Newcastle needing to get out of trouble and Lingard not getting much of a look-in at Old Trafford, failing to start a Premier League game this season, it seems like a move which would suit all parties involved.

Derbyshire pace trio sign new contracts

Derbyshire’s pace trio of Tim Groenewald, Ian Hunter and Tom Lungley has signed new contracts for 2010

Derbyshire’s pace trio of Tim Groenewald, Ian Hunter and Tom Lungley has signed new contracts for 2010. The three joined Chris Rogers, the club’s Australian captain, in committing their futures to the County Ground.Groenewald, 25, joined Derbyshire from Warwickshire for the 2009 season and topped the county’s first-class bowling averages, taking 34 wickets at 27.08 with a career-best of 6 for 50 against Surrey at Whitgift School – one of two six-wicket hauls.John Morris, head of cricket, said it had been a patient wait for Groenewald, but was delighted that he had shaped up as a key member of the team. “Although he slotted straight in to our one-day team at the start of the season, Tim had to wait patiently before his opportunity came in the first-class arena,” Morris said. “His attitude during that period was excellent and he was clearly focused on forcing his way into the side. Once he achieved that, Tim never looked back and was a whole-hearted performer and a regular source of wickets for the team.”Hunter, 30, played seven first-class matches this season, taking 21 wickets at an average of 28.23. He joined Derbyshire from Durham in 2004 and took five wickets on two occasions but found himself out of the side in the closing stages this season. “Ian deserves his new deal for the way he started the campaign,” Morris said. “He was a reliable source of wickets during the opening weeks of the season while we were setting about proving ourselves as genuine promotion contenders. Hopefully he can recapture that form in 2010.”Lungley, 30, has extended his Derbyshire career into its 11th year. His best performance in 2009 came against Leicestershire – a county Twenty20 Cup best of 5 of 27.”Tom is a valuable member of our bowling staff and I am pleased that he will be around for us again next season,” Morris said.

Everton system change possible

Everton journalist Adam Jones reckons Rafael Benitez could switch to a 4-3-3 formation with Richarlison up front for the visit of Arsenal on Monday night. 

The lowdown

Everton are looking to halt a dreadful run of form that has seen them win just one of their last 10 matches.

They’ve taken seven losses in that period, slipping to 16th in the Premier League table.

Benitez has almost always set out his team in a 4-4-1-1 formation since taking over at Goodison Park in the summer.

The Spaniard was criticised for maintaining a midfield two against Liverpool last time out, with one journalist arguing it was a move that ‘gave the game’ to the visitors and an analytics expert confessing himself ‘baffled’.

The latest

The Liverpool Echo’s Jones writes that Benitez ‘could opt’ for a change of system that would see Fabian Delph drafted into the midfield alongside Allan and Abdoulaye Doucoure, while Richarlison would serve as a lone number nine.

He points out that there have already been glimpses of this shape in the games against Wolves and Tottenham Hotspur, and says it seems to be ‘the most effective right now’.

The verdict

Delph may not be the most popular player amongst the Goodison supporters, but he put in a strong performance in that game against Conte’s Spurs, earning a SofaScore rating of 7.3/10.

He won four of his six ground duels and completed eight of the 10 long balls he attempted.

The Press Association’s Carl Markham called his display ‘excellent’, while The Daily Mail’s Dominic King dubbed him the team’s man of the match ‘by some considerable distance’.

Perhaps recalling the £80,000-per-week midfielder, and reinstating the 4-3-3 shape, could be a smart move.

In other news, fans flocked to this news on a possible Benitez replacement.

Sri Lankan bowlers set up series win

An all-round bowling display in the field secured Sri Lanka Under-19s the series in the final match

Cricinfo staff11-Oct-2009
Scorecard
An all-round bowling display in the field secured Sri Lanka Under-19s a six-wicket win over Australia Under-19s at the Marrara Cricket Ground, and more importantly, clinched the series in the final match.This match was won in the first innings, after Australia opted to bat and managed to put up only 122 in 37.3 overs. Australia had made decent progress after Chathura Peiris removed the opener Tom Beaton for a 23-ball 4, reaching 43 for 1 in the 11th over. But then Peiris struck to get rid of Nic Maddinson who had eased his way to 24 from 27 balls.From here Australia slipped against Rushan Jaleel’s offspin and Lahiru Jayarathne’s medium-pace. Jaleel ripped through the middle order with 3 for 36 while Jayarathne bowled an extremely tidy spell of 7-4-9-2 to throttle the lower order. Nadeera Rajaguru, bowling his variation of legbreaks, skittled the tail with 3 for 3 on debut.Set 123 to take the series, Sri Lanka lost six wickets, mostly due to their urgency to chase like a locomotive. Despite the loss of the wicketkeeper-batsman Andri Berenger for 1 in the second over, No. 3 Bhanuka Rajapaksa slammed 33 from 16 balls before he was bowled by Jason Floros. Floros’, an off-break bowler, picked up three wickets but Rumesh Buddika’s unbeaten 37 sealed the win in the 24th over.
