Julian Hunte and Whycliffe Cameron of Jamaica will contest the WICB presidential elections after former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd failed in his nomination bid. To secure a nomination, a candidate needs the backing of two full members (regional boards) and Lloyd only had the approval his native Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) before the deadline for filing the application expired on February 22. The elections will be held as part of the WICB AGM, on March 27 in Barbados.The presidential race is now a two-way fight between Hunte, who currently heads the WICB, and Cameron, who is vice-president. According to the amended rules of the WICB, none of the directors, who are part of the executive board, have voting powers from this year. That was one of the recommendations of the Wilkins Committee report, which was ratified by the board at its last meeting. Each of the six regional boards (Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Windward Islands) have selected two representatives who are allowed to vote, with the new president to be elected via a secret ballot.The Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) president, Joel Garner, who was an integral part of the dominating West Indies team of the 1970s and ’80s that Lloyd led, has put his hat into the ring for the vice-president’s role. Garner, who is one of the WICB directors, will face-off against Dominican Emmanuel Nanthan, president of the Windward Islands Cricket Association.This was Lloyd’s second failed attempt to get a nomination. In the past he was not allowed to enter the presidential race on the grounds that he did not satisfy the required residential conditions, as he was staying outside of the Caribbean at the time. This time Lloyd had fulfilled that obligation, having moved back to Guyana after been appointed by the government as chairman of the interim management committee formed in the aftermath of the disputed GCB elections in 2011.Despite Lloyd calling the controversial GCB elections held on January 27 this year “illegal”, a special executive board meeting held last Thursday nominated him as its delegate for the WICB presidential elections. But Lloyd needed the one of the other five regional boards to second his nomination.In his attempt to garner more support Lloyd had even sent his manifesto to the T&T and Barbados cricket boards. Titled ‘Clive Lloyd’s manifesto – WICB presidency’, the three-page document stressed that West Indies cricket desperately needed a “second growth curve”and argued he had the right expertise and international experience as a former professional cricketer and ICC administrator to lead the board.”My vision for West Indies cricket is to take our cricket out of the doldrums and to put us back at the top. To use my expertise, knowledge of and passion for the game, my credibility, integrity and international professional standing and every moral fibre within to reverse the fortunes of our WI cricket,” Lloyd wrote.He signed off the document by quoting Winston Churchill, the former British prime minister: “‘To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents.’ Today I believe I have been ‘figuratively tapped’ and offered an opportunity to do a very special thing. Cricket is one of the great unifying forces in West Indian history and culture and I would like to offer my services to people of the West Indies as the next president of WICB.”However, the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board sidestepped the issue by deciding to act as a neutral observer instead of supporting any candidate, while the BCA’s stance remained unclear.

فنربخشة يرد على طرابزون بشأن واقعة تريزيجية: ما تفعلونه أبعد ما يكون عن احترام الرياضة

رد نادي فنربخشة التركي، على بيان طرابزون بعد اتهام الأخير للاعب ساميت أكايدين، بالبصق على الدولي المصري محمود حسن تريزيجيه خلال مباراة الفريقين الاخيرة في الدوري.

طرابزون أصدر بيانًا رسميًا يدين فيه ما حدث، مطالبًا الاتحاد التركي ونادي فنربخشة اتخاذ الإجراءات اللازمة ضد المدافع بعد بصقه على تريزيجيه.

وأكد النادي في بيانه، أن تريزيجيه أثناء سجوده للاحتفال بهدفه في مرمى فنربخشة، بصق عليه ساميت، حسب الصورة المرفقة مع البيان على حساب طرابزون.

اللاعب التركي، رد من خلال حسابه على موقع التواصل الاجتماعي “تويتر”: “إنني أدين المزاعم اللا أخلاقية عبر وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي عن طريق التلاعب بحركتي.. وهو جزء من عادة الرياضي”.

نادي فنربخشة، أصدر بيانًا رسميًا عبر موقعه الالكتروني، جاء كالتالي..

“التقينا مع لاعبنا حول الفيديو الذي انتشر، أوضح لنا بوضوح أن ما حدث لم يكن كما انعكس بالضبط وأنه تم التلاعب به وخداعه من خلال زاوية الكاميرا في التصوير.

في واضح الأمر، من المفهوم لكل عين ترى، أن الموضوع لا علاقة له بالبصق على اللاعب من زوايا مشاهدة مختلفة.

لذلك، نحن ندين هذا النهج التمييزي والمتحيز لنادي طرابزون سبور، والذي هو أبعد ما يكون عن نهج الصداقة والحب والاحترام للرياضة، والذي يستهدف بشكل غير عادل لاعبنا، فيما يتعلق بأجندة زائفة وكاذبة تشكلت من خلال صورة متلاعبة.

Na opinião do artilheiro, o fato do time alvinegro não ter vencido os amistosos diante do Confiança e do Flamengo de Arcoverde acaba colocando a equipe do ASA mais atenta no confronto do final de semana.

كايل ووكر يطمئن جمهور مانشستر سيتي قبل نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا

حرص كايل ووكر، لاعب فريق مانشستر سيتي، على طمأنة جماهير النادي الإنجليزي قبل نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا، بشأن لياقته البدنية.

ويلتقي مانشستر سيتي مع إنتر ميلان، السبت المقبل، في نهائي دوري أبطال أوروبا على ملعب “أتاتورك” في تركيا.

وغاب كايل ووكر عن تدريبات مانشستر سيتي اليوم، مما أثار قلق جماهير بطل الدوري الإنجليزي قبل مباراة السبت المرتقبة.

وعقد مانشستر سيتي جلسة تدريبية مفتوحة، اليوم الثلاثاء، حيث لم يشارك كايل ووكر، الذي يتطلع للتعافي من مشكلة في الظهر حسبما ذكر المدرب بيب جوارديولا.

من جانبه، قال كايل ووكر في تصريحات صحفية في اليوم الإعلامي لفريق مانشستر سيتي: “أنا بخير، لقد تقدمت في السن! لا، أنا بخير تمامًا، إنه مجرد يوم إضافي للتعافي”.

وأضاف: “لقد لعبت كثيرًا خلال الأسابيع الماضية، المدرب أخبرني بالبقاء في الداخل حتى أكون متشوقًا يوم السبت للمشاركة”.

وعن المباراة، قال: “دوري أبطال أوروبا مُتاح لنا لتحقيقه، إذا كنا كمجموعة من اللاعبين نريد أن نحقق ما حققه مانشستر يونايتد (ثلاثية الدوري والكأس ودوري الأبطال)، علينا الاستمرار والقيام بأشياء رائعة، نحن بحاجة إلى الذهاب واغتنام الفرصة، هذه الفرص لا تأتي في كثير من الأحيان”.

وأردف: “لقد سبق وأن حققنا الرباعية الإنجليزية (الدوري الإنجليزي، كأس الاتحاد وكأس الرابطة والدرع الخيرية)، ولكن لم نكن قريبين أبدًا من تحقيق لقب دوري الأبطال، أمامنا مباراة واحدة، 90 دقيقة، نأمل أن نستطيع ذلك”.

Sem profundidade, Corinthians segue com problemas de criação

MatériaMais Notícias

O maior desafio para o técnico Fábio Carille neste início de temporada do Corinthians é fazer o ataque funcionar. Neste domingo, contra o Novorizontino, o time deu outra amostra de como sofre para incomodar os adversários na frente, pelo baixo poder de criação.

Pela primeira vez junta como titular, a dupla Vagner Love/Boselli recebeu poucas bolas em boas condições e praticamente não deu trabalho ao adversário. Isso aconteceu principalmente pela fraca atuação dos meio-campistas na parte de criação.

Carille deu nova oportunidade aos meninos Mateus Vital e Ângelo Araos, mas eles tiveram muita pouca profundidade, que parece ser seus maiores problemas. Araos pela esquerda e Vital, pela direita, facilitaram a marcação do Novorizontino. Sem ir ao fundo, pouco criaram. Melhor para Jadson e Sornoza, que brigam por posição ali e descansaram nesta partida.

No segundo tempo, Carille ainda tentou mudar o panorama trocando primeiramente os dois meias, lançando os pontas Clayson e Pedrinho. Mas de nada adiantou. A produção seguiu a mesma: ou seja, muito ruim.

Cricket Australia (CA) has announced that the seamer Ellyse Perry has undergone another ankle surgery, after it was discovered that she had developed a minor infection following surgery on the ankle recently.Perry had surgery on the injured left ankle last month, following Australia’s victorious campaign in India during the 2013 Women’s World Cup. Perry picked up the injury during the tail-end of the tournament. She took 3 for 19 and scored an unbeaten 25 in the final against West Indies.CA chief medical officer Justin Paolini said, “Ellyse had developed some pain in her left ankle in the last few days. We determined that the best course of action was to perform an ankle arthroscopy and joint washout.”This latest surgery is expected to set Ellyse’s rehabilitation timeline back an extra 2-3 weeks. Her anticipated return to bowling is another 10-12 weeks away. At this stage we still expect Ellyse to be available for selection for the Ashes series against England in August.”

O Vasco flertou com a eliminação na Copa do Brasil nesta quarta-feira, contra o Juazeirense, no Estádio Adauto Moraes, em Juazeirense (BA). O Cruz-Maltino chegou a levar a virada da equipe baiana, mas conseguiu o empate por 2 a 2 aos 45 do segundo tempo. Apesar da classificação à segunda fase da competição, o técnico Alberto Valentim reconheceu a atuação abaixo do esperado no segundo tempo, mas virou a chave para semifinal da Taça Guanabara.

– No primeiro tempo fizemos alguns ajustes, mas estava dentro daquilo que a gente esperava. Até pelas condições do campo a gente não teria um jogo de qualidade. Voltamos para o segundo tempo apáticos, e após a parada ainda mais devagar. Agora temos um jogo importante o Resende – disse.

Na próxima fase da Copa do Brasil, o Cruz-Maltino vai enfrentar o vencedor de Serra-ES e Remo-PA. Os comandados de Alberto Valentim voltam a campo neste domingo, diante do Resende, às 17h, no Maracanã.

Pune Warriors in need of tonic

Preview of the match between Chennai Super Kings and Pune Warriors in Chennai

The Preview by Devashish Fuloria14-Apr-2013Match factsMonday, April 15, 2013
Start time 2000 (1430 GMT)Coming soon at a ground near you: Suresh Raina’s slog-sweep•AFP

Big PicturePune Warriors’ campaign is in need of a tonic – they lost three of their first four matches – but they are now in Chennai, which means the tonic is placed on the highest shelf. Chennai Super Kings, the big boys of the IPL, are perhaps the hardest team to beat in their home conditions and they reconfirmed it last night by snaffling a last-ball win against a strong Royal Challengers Bangalore.The inclusion of Aaron Finch briefly kindled hope as Warriors recorded their first win of the season, against Rajasthan Royals, but a pedestrian outing in Mumbai pulled them back to the familiar zone of mediocrity. Finch was bowled first ball by a Mitchell Johnson bolt and the rest of the batting crumbled without much resistance. Angelo Mathews, the Warriors’ new captain, had also appeared listless with his use of bowlers against Mumbai Indians. He removed Bhuvneshwar Kumar from the attack after an impressive first over, allowing Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting to get away, then let Ashok Dinda, who bowled the most expensive spell in the IPL, finish his full quota though there were options still available. The camera often panned to a lost Mathews, and sometimes to Steven Smith, who had been the spark of Warriors’ 2012 campaign, in the dugout.However, Mathews won’t be available in Chennai and in his absence, Ross Taylor will lead the side. Yuvraj Singh, is unlikely to take the field*.On the other hand, Super Kings, after giving Mumbai Indians a scare in the first match, continue to live up to their reputation. They demolished Kings XI Punjab and left Royal Challengers in a confused state. In Chennai, where the crowd gets behind them, there isn’t anything they are incapable of doing.Form guideChennai Super Kings: WWL
Pune Warriors: LWLLWatch out forSuresh Raina, the IPL’s leading run-scorer, has played two innings and is yet to hit a six. That is at odds with the ease at which he has racked up almost a century of sixes in the tournament, making him the second-most prolific six-hitting machine behind Chris Gayle. Warriors have an attack made up of medium pacers and spinners who bring the ball into the left-hander – an ideal recipe for Raina’s favourite hoick over midwicket.Rahul Sharma, along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, will have the task of reining in a big-hitting batting line up if Yuvraj Singh is not available to play. Rahul has managed to keep his economy under six while others have been taken for plenty and he is the leading wicket-taker for the team. Bhuvneshwar has troubled batsmen whenever he has found swing early in the innings and in absence of any real pace in the bowling attack, he will have the responsibility of striking early.Stats and trivia Warriors’ head-to-head record against Super Kings reads similar to their current campaign – one win and three losses. They are yet to win in Chennai. Since Warriors’ inception, Robin Uthappa has been their leading batsman with 751 runs. But in the same period, 16 other batsmen have scored more runs than him.Raina has the most number of catches as a fielder – 43, the same as Rohit SharmaQuotes”I do not think there is any reason for us to panic, we have got a very good side with us and we just need to get a few wins under our belt and then take on the momentum from there”
“I had a cricketing chat with him and he told me that the most important thing while batting is your mental strength and the ability to read the bowler’ mind. He said it’s all about how you feel on that particular day the moment you put your jersey on.”
