Cricket South Africa also announces a six-team professional domestic system for women

Firdose Moonda22-Aug-2023

CSA has announced equal international-match fees for their men and women’s players, joining New Zealand and India in establishing parity across genders. The landmark announcement comes on the same day that CSA unveiled a six-team professional domestic system for women cricketers, as part of the legacy projects following the successful hosting of the Women’s T20 World Cup in February. The new match fees will be in place from next month, when South Africa’s women’s team tours Pakistan.The new domestic structure takes its framework from the existing 16-team, two-tier set-up, which is divided into a top six and a bottom ten, with the latter being split into two groups of five each with a promotion-relegation system in place. The same set-up will continue, but the top-six teams will now have the resources to contract 11 players – up from six in previous years – at pay rates that are on par with the highest-paid male cricketers in Division 2, and will be able to employ a full-time coaching staff. CSA will subsidise four backroom-staff positions for each of the six sides, and require two of them to be female.The top six teams will compete in a 50-over and a 20-over competition, with the shortest-format matches likely to be played on the same days as the men’s competition to increase visibility. Cricket becomes the first team sport in South Africa to professionalise the women’s game at domestic level, thus earning the praise of the country’s sports minister Zizi Kodwa.Related

“What we are celebrating today is not about monetary value but about leadership and political will,” Kodwa said at the unveiling of the six teams in Pretoria. “In the first week of our appointment, we met with the top five [sports] federations in the country, and we stressed this point. You seem to be the only federation who understood what we said. How I wish others are listening as we speak now.”For the 2023-24 season, the top six teams will be Titans, Lions, Dolphins, Western Province, Free State and Garden Route Badgers. Four of the six – Titans, Lions, Dolphins and Western Province – also have men’s teams in South Africa’s domestic first division, while both Free State and Garden Route Badgers are top tier women’s teams only.For Free State, who are based in Bloemfontein, this is particularly significant. They occupy an important geographic area in the country’s central region, and have faded into the cricketing periphery in recent years with no team in the men’s top division and no SA20 franchise in their area. Garden Route Badgers are located in Oudtshoorn, an inland town in the Western Cape known for ostrich farming, and are exploring the possibility of moving to a stadium in the coastal town of George.While the top six teams will receive most of the benefits of the new initiative, teams in the bottom ten will also see changes – most notably the increase in fixtures. In previous seasons, those teams competed only against the four other teams in their group; but from this season, they will also play cross-pool matches. CSA is still finalising the logistics of this but it is likely to take a tournament-style approach, with teams based at one venue for a few weeks.Players from both divisions will also be exposed to elite-level international coaching and talent. This season, CSA is planning camps for women’s teams with SA20 sides; next season, the board hopes to have women’s exhibition matches in the SA20, and the season after that, it is aiming for a women’s T20 franchise league.This expansion in the women’s game is estimated to cost CSA R40 million (approx. US$2.1 million) over three years, but it has received some support from the government to cover the costs. The Department of Sports, Arts and Culture has pledged R15 million (US$800,000) to CSA for the same period.

He was granted strict conditional bail on the drug charge and has had to surrender his passport

AAP15-Sep-2023

Former Australian Test bowler Stuart MacGill has been charged over the supply of a commercial quantity of cocaine that led to his purported kidnapping.Six men have been charged over the alleged kidnapping, which took place on Sydney’s lower north shore in April 2021.Police launched an investigation into an alleged drug supply operation after the incident was reported to officers and on Friday they confirmed MacGill, 52, was arrested on Tuesday at Chatswood.He has been charged with one count of knowingly taking part in the supply of a large commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.MacGill told police after the alleged kidnapping that he was repeatedly punched in the head during the incident, causing him to become concussed.He said he was forced into a car at Cremorne on Sydney’s north shore and taken to Bringelly, south of Sydney.Three assailants allegedly tried to extort money from him before dropping him at Belmore about an hour later.At a previous hearing for two of the alleged kidnappers, a judge said there was “some question” of whether MacGill got into the car willingly.MacGill has denied any involvement in the abduction, telling Nine’s A Current Affair in 2021 that he had done nothing wrong.The ex-spinner was granted strict conditional bail on the drug charge and has had to surrender his passport.He is due to appear at Manly Local Court on October 26.

A Fifa divulgou um documento que formalizou o pagamento da dívida que o São Paulo terá que quitar com o treinador Hernán Crespo.

Este valor se refere à quebra de contrato com o treinador e da sua comissão sem justa causa, que aconteceu em outubro de 2021. Após um período com um rendimento abaixo do esperado no Campeonato Brasileiro, o treinador deixou o clube comJuan Branda (auxiliar técnico), Alejandro Kohan e Gustavo Sato (preparadores físicos), Gustavo Nepote (preparador de goleiros) e Tobías Kohan (analista de desempenho), membros da comissão que chegaram ao São Paulo junto com Crespo.

De acordo com apurações levantadas pelo LANCE!, em relação a este valor, o São Paulo e o ex-treinador divergiam entre quanto um achava que deveria pagar e quanto o outro achava que deveria receber. Segundo o documento, também acessado pelo L!, Crespo irá receber o valor estipulado pelo Tricolor paulista. A Fifa, por sua vez, apenas formalizou este acordo.

Os auxiliares também tentaram uma ação na justiça, porém perderam o pleito.

Este valor gira em torno dos 300 mil dólares (cerca de R$ 1,5 milhões), que será pago para todos os envolvidos. Conforme o que foi informado ao L!, metade já foi paga.O pagamento foi paralisado quando a Fifa entrou, mas já será retornado.

Caso o São Paulo não realizasse o pagamento, poderia sofrer algumas punições por parte da Fifa, como o impedimento de registrar novos jogadores – sejam estes brasileiros ou não. O clube, por sua vez, informou não haver chance disso acontecer porque Crespo já está sendo pago.

De acordo com o posicionamento do São Paulo, acessado pelo LANCE!, o caso foi para Fifa somente por conta das divergências de valores entre o clube e o treinador. Não há o risco de sanções.

-O SPFC e o técnico Hernan Crespo tinham uma discussão sobre o quanto era devido em relação à rescisão. Por isso o caso foi para a FIFA. A Entidade entendeu que o SPFC tem de pagar o quanto o Clube achava que tinha de pagar. Parte do valor já foi quitado e não há risco de sanções – disse o Tricolor em seu posicionamento.

تحدث ياسر إبراهيم، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي الأهلي، عن أصعب بطولة مع القلعة الحمراء، متغزلا في الوقت ذاته في زميله الحالي بالفريق.

وقال ياسر إبراهيم، لقناة الأهلي: “أشرف بن شرقي من الشخصيات الجميلة وانسجم معنا بشكل سريع، ويشعرك أن الكرة سهلة جدًا، هو لاعب “جنتل” الكرة في قدمه سهلة، وهو لا يتعجل، لاعب هادئ وبسيط”.

وتابع: “لدينا شغف أننا ندخل الموسم المقبل ونكون جاهزين ونحقق البطولات المشاركين فيها ونسعد الجماهير والإدارة”.

وكشف: “حصدت 20 بطولة مع الأهلي ونهائي القرن أمام الزمالك كان أصعب بطولة ومهما نتحدث عنها (عايزة يومين، من كثرة التفكير في هذه المباراة مكنتش عارف أنام) الأمر لم يكن سهلًا جدًا وكنت أفكر في السيناريوهات التي ممكن أن تحدث، كنت أنام وأنا داخل المباراة، والأسبوع الذي سبق اللقاء كان رعبا لأننا كنا في فترة كورونا”.

وعن لقاء نصف نهائي إفريقيا أمام صن داونز الموسم الماضي: “كان يومًا صعبًا علي أنا بطبيعتي، عندما لا أقدم مباراة جيدة وأكون غير موفق، بعد المباراة (مكنتش عارف أنام) وشاهدت اللقاء كنت جيدًا جدًا في المباراة بغض النظر عن كرة الهدف، لا أقصد أن أضعها في نفسي، ارتطمت في كعب رجلي ودخلت المرمى، هذا اليوم كنت غير قادر أن أتخطاه بسهولة، ظللت لمدة يومين أو ثلاثة كي أنساه”.

وواصل: “ربنا عوضني بالأسيست لوسام أبو علي أمام البنك الأهلي والإنقاذ أمام سيراميكا، بعد مباراة صن داونز الأمر كان صعبا جدًا وكنت عائدا في الأتوبيس مع اللاعبين و(بعيط) حملت نفسي فوق طاقتها، أتى لي أكرم توفيق وعمر كمال وقالا لي سترى عوض ربنا، وبعدها وجدت ذلك في الدوري”.

وعن مدرب الأهلي الأسبق رينيه فايلر: “كنت حزينًا جدًا أنني لا أشارك مع فايلر ولا يكون لي دور مع الفريق”.

هل فكرت في الخروج للإعارة؟: “هذا حق مشروع لو هناك فرق خارج مصر تحدثت معي، (نفسي أحترف) وأخوض تجربة جديدة، ولكن عندما أتحدث مع المسؤولين ويبلغوني أنهم يحتاجوني الموضوع يغلق”.

وعن موسيماني مدرب الأهلي الأسبق: “حتى فترة قريبة جدًا نتحدث مع بعض وتوجد علاقة بيننا جيدة، المدرب طالما أعطاك الثقة تركز بدل 100% يكون 200%”.

واختتم: “هذا الجيل تعب جدًا ونجح في المواقف الحاسمة ويغلق على نفسه ويعرف يخرج من الأجواء السلبية إلى الإيجابية، كلهم لاعبين رجال، وليفاندوفسكي أصعب مهاجم واجهته، وأنا على تواصل دائم محمد عبد المنعم واتمنى له الشفاء”.

اختار مايكل أوين مهاجم منتخب إنجلترا السابق، المرشحين المفضلين بالنسبة له لتحقيق الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز الموسم المقبل.

ويعتقد أوين، أن ليفربول سيكون مرشحاً قوياً للفوز بلقب الدوري الإنجليزي بعد تتويجه في أول موسم لآرني سلوت، حيث عادل رقم مانشستر يونايتد بـ20 لقبًا.

وحصد ليفربول لقب الدوري الإنجليزي قبل أربع مباريات من نهاية الموسم، وأعرب أوين عن إعجابه بصفقات ليفربول في الميركاتو الحالي.

وقال أوين لشبكة “توك سبورت”: “فاز ليفربول بالدوري الإنجليزي بفارق عشر نقاط الموسم الماضي، على الرغم من حصوله على نقطتين آخر أربع مباريات، عندما لم يكن يحاول حقاً”.

وأضاف: “كان بإمكانهم الفوز بالدوري بفارق 20 نقطة وهذا فارق كبير، سيتطلب الأمر جهدًا كبيرًا من المنافسين للحاق بهم، ويبدو أن ليفربول سيصبح أقوى الموسم المقبل، وسيكون من الصعب على أي فريق اللحاق بهم”.

وواصل: “مانشستر سيتي كان بعيدًا كل البعد عن مستواه في الموسم الماضي، وقد شهدنا الكثير من التغييرات خلال الصيف”.

وتابع: “يكاد يكون من المستحيل التعرف عليهم بالنظر إلى عدد اللاعبين الذين تعاقدوا معهم خلال العام الماضي، الأمر يتطلب بعض الوقت للتأقلم”.

وأتم: “سيعود رودري بالتأكيد ولكني لا أعتقد أنهم سيفوزون بلقب البريميرليج، أتفق مع ليفربول بشدة وإذا كانت هناك مفاجأة فأعتقد أن آرسنال وربما تشيلسي هو الفريق الأبرز، لا أعتقد أن مانشستر سيتي قادر على العودة بهذه السرعة، الضغط عليه لا يصدق لأن آرسنال كان بحاجة لمهاجم منذ فترة طويلة الآن”.

وحول آرسنال قال: “تعاقدوا مع لاعب أعتقد أنه القطعة المفقودة، لقد اختار الرقم 14 الذي ارتداه الأسطورة تييري هنري مما يزيد الضغط عليه، وفي حال تألق جيوكيريس سيصبح آرسنال منافسًا قويًا وإن لم ينجح لا أرى سوى ليفربول قادر على الفوز باللقب”.

وحول توتنهام ومانشستر يونايتد ختم أوين: “لن يكونا بهذا السوء الذي كانا عليه الموسم الماضي، لكني لا أتوقع عودتهما لدوري الأبطال الموسم المقبل، ومع ذلك سيقدمان أداء أفضل بكثير”.

McClenaghan: Afghanistan’s spinners will be a big threat for New Zealand

Big Picture: Two teams on a high face offThe 2019 World Cup champions have been taken down. Time for the runners-up next?Afghanistan players have time and again called India their second home. At various points, they have had their base set up at Indian venues like Dehradun, Lucknow and Greater Noida, where they played their “home games”. IPL regulars Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have always been a crowd favourite, while Naveen-ul-Haq keeps the buzz going.Which is why there was genuine excitement among the Delhi crowd when Afghanistan served defending champions England a 69-run thrashing on Sunday. It was only Afghanistan’s second-ever win in an ODI World Cup game in 18 attempts and their first since 2015.Related

Forget Bazball, this was Gurbazball

However, even with the confidence of a big win under their belt, Afghanistan know they have their work cut out as they run into red-hot New Zealand in Chennai. Unbeaten so far in the tournament – three wins out of three – New Zealand seem to have all the pieces of the puzzle in place. But the Chennai surface could prove to be a potential banana peel against the spin trio of Rashid, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Nabi. The three spinners lead the wicket-taking list for Afghanistan in the World Cup so far and will hope for more success on a pitch which is expected to turn.Afghanistan’s biggest issue remains their over-reliance on the top three of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat Shah. In ODIs since the start of 2021, the trio has accounted for 52.79% of the total runs that Afghanistan have scored. Among all Full Members nations, their middle order (Nos. 4 to 7) has the lowest average: 26.00.This was on display in the game against England as well where Afghanistan collapsed from 114 for 0 to 190 for 6 before the lower order bailed them out. The likes of Hashmatullah Shahidi, Azmatullah Omarzai and Nabi will need to step up and quick.New Zealand have far fewer problems. They come into this game on a five-match winning streak, having won each of these games rather convincingly. Their top order has fired in every game while the bowling unit looks well-rounded. Of course, Kane Williamson’s “undisplaced fracture” to his left thumb might be a cause for concern for them, especially given the nature of this Chennai pitch, but Tom Latham has proven to be an effective leader in his absence.New Zealand might be on a high, but they can’t afford to be complacent against a side that seems to have finally found its mojo.3:47

Coming into the World Cup, Santner had only four wickets in seven ODIs at an average of 80.25 and economy of 5.24 in 2023. Three matches into the tournament, he has already doubled that tally and is currently the joint-leading wicket-taker alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Matt Henry with eight scalps at 15.87. He’s been excellent with his pace variations and has tied the batters down in the powerplay. Chepauk is like home away from home for Santner.

O elenco do Corinthians se reapresentou na tarde desta segunda-feira (24), após a vitória contra o Santos, no último sábado (22), pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. O atacante Adson novamente não participou da atividade e segue tratando a lesão muscular na coxa esquerda que o tirou do clássico do último fim de semana.

Segundo informações obtidas pelo L!, o problema físico do camisa 28 é de primeiro grau, mas ainda o incomoda, o que também deve tirá-lo da partida contra o Fluminense, nesta quarta-feira (26), na Neo Química Arena.

Inclusive, a atividade desta tarde foi a primeira do elenco corintiano visando o confronto direto por uma vaga direta à fase de grupos da Libertadores do ano que vem, via Brasileirão. Os atletas ganharam folga no último domingo (23) e nesta segunda-feira (24) aqueles que atuaram mais de 45 minutos contra o Peixe não foram a campo, pois fizeram trabalho regenerativo na academia do CT Joaquim Grava.

Os demais jogadores fizeram somente a primeira parte do treino na parte interna do Centro de Treinamentos, mas depois foram a campo – isso inclui nomes considerados titulares, como Fagner, Gil, Fábio Santos e Renato Augusto, que foram preservados do duelo contra o Peixe. Em campo, o técnico Vítor Pereira de enfrentamento em campo reduzido. Os goleiros se revezaram entre esse trabalho e outro específico comandado pelos preparadores.

O Timão ainda tem mais uma atividade, na tarde desta terça-feira (25), antes de encarar o Flu. Na última rodada, os corintianos ultrapassaram o Tricolor Carioca e terminaram em quarto lugar no Brasileirão.

O Corinthians foi prejudicado contra o Goiás e deveria sair do estádio da Serrinha com os três pontos, mas o clube não pode usar a muleta da arbitragem para justificar mais uma atuação abaixo da média fora de casa no Brasileirão.

+ Dupla de ataque vai mal no empate do Corinthians; veja notas

Assim como em boa parte dos jogos como visitante no segundo turno, o Timão sofreu para impor sua qualidade e sofreu mais do que o necessário contra um adversário tecnicamente inferior.

Com uma lista grande de desfalques, Vítor Pereira promoveu algumas mudanças na equipe, especialmente no sistema defensivo, mas manteve o seu tradicional 4-3-3. Bruno Méndez entrou na vaga de Fagner na lateral-direita, Robert Renan formou dupla com Gil, e Piton atuou pela esquerda.

O garoto da base roubou a cena e novamente foi o melhor jogador da linha defensiva, mostrando excelente leitura para realizar cortes e interceptações, e auxiliando a equipe na saída de bola.

O grande problema do Corinthians no primeiro tempo foi a transição defensiva. Ao perder a posse, a equipe de Vítor Pereira não conseguia roubar a bola no ataque e dava campo para o Goiás contra-atacar.

O Esmeraldino só não abriu o placar pois também pecou na conclusão das jogadas, e Piton fez um gol ao bloquear chute de Dadá Belmonte.

O Timão voltou mais organizado após o intervalo e neutralizou as investidas do Goiás, mas a equipe alvinegra não transformou o amplo domínio em gols. Os jogadores erravam muitos passes e domínios fáceis, e em sua maioria não foram felizes na tomada de decisão com a bola no pé.

Giuliano era o homem mais lúcido e participativo da equipe, se movimentando e criando tabelas com seus companheiros, mas a equipe alvinegra não furava o bloqueio dos mandantes. Segundo o Footstats, o clube alvinegro não finalizou na meta de Tadeu nos últimos 45 minutos de jogo.

As alterações de Vítor Pereira na etapa final não surtiram efeito positivo, enquanto a entrada de Apodi deixou o Goiás mais perigoso pelos lados.

Quando a partida se encaminhava para o empate, Yuri Alberto fez o que seria o gol para lavar a alma dos corintianos, mas o VAR referendou a decisão de campo e anulou o gol marcado pelo centroavante. A sorte não estava do lado do Timão, haja visto o cabeceio na trave de Guilherme Biro no último lance do jogo.

Com mais dois jogos fora de casa (Flamengo e Coritiba), o Corinthians precisa evoluir longe da Neo Química para não sofrer e garantir o quanto antes a vaga direta à fase de grupos da Libertadores. O objetivo do clube está longe de ser ameaçado, mas novamente a atuação coletiva como visitante deixou o alerta ligado.

Ecclestone struggled to find consistency in lines and lengths and returned figures of 1 for 85 off 22 overs

S Sudarshanan14-Dec-2023

England fast bowler Lauren Bell has said that a rare off day with the ball for left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone put additional pressure on the bowling unit in the one-off women’s Test against India in Mumbai.Following a three-day gap after the final T20I, Ecclestone struggled to find consistency in lines and lengths and returned figures of 1 for 85 off 22 overs, the most expensive among the bowlers used on day one. She managed to dismiss debutant Satheesh Shubha, who miscued a pull shot to short midwicket.”Sophie is human and is not going to be unbelievable [by] taking ten wickets every day,” Bell said. “She’s obviously come back from a big [right shoulder] injury. It’s impressive that she is out there and she will bounce back. It puts pressure on us.”[Conditions were] tough as a fast bowler out there. As a group, we have come together, and it is no one person’s responsibility. We are a close-knit unit and we’ll try and get them together.”Related

Batters give India opening-day honours against England

Stats – India Women score 410 in one day

Shubha and Rodrigues give the silent treatment to England

India posted 410 for 7, the second-highest total in a single day of a women’s Test, after opting to bat first with half-centuries from Shubha, Jemimah Rodrigues, Yastika Bhatia and Deepti Sharma. There were 100-run partnerships between Shubha and Rodrigues – 115 for the third wicket – and Harmanpreet Kaur and Bhatia – 116 for the fifth wicket, and a 92-run stand for the seventh wicket between Deepti and Sneh Rana.Bell, who dismissed Smriti Mandhana and Rodrigues, said that the pitch became flatter as the day wore on and India’s left-right batting partnerships made it tough for England.”I am used to swinging the ball but it didn’t swing loads upfront,” she said. “Later on it swung for me and we got a bit of movement off the pitch. It’s definitely gotten a bit flatter and is tough to bowl. You’ve just got to attack the stumps and keep them in play as much as possible.”Having left-right [batting combinations] definitely added to the challenge. You have to keep changing lines constantly as a bowler.”Bell is on her first bilateral tour of India as an England cricketer but was part of UP Warriorz – coached by England head coach Jon Lewis – in the Women’s Premier League in 2023. While she did not get a game in the tournament, she worked on “getting stronger, quicker and more skilful” after flying home to the UK.”The more times I get to play in front of crowds in big pressure moments, in important times, it helps as a cricketer,” she said. “It pushes my game on. As a cricketer I needed to get stronger and more skilful. I wanted to get stronger, get quicker. I wanted to prolong my spells and get more skills in my armour.” None of us thought Harmanpreet was out, says Bell India captain Harmanpreet was on 49 when she pushed a delivery from offspinner Charlie Dean towards covers and took a few steps down for a run before retreating. Danni Wyatt got around from point and, in a bid to return the ball to the wicketkeeper, effected a direct hit at the striker’s end. Tammy Beaumont, standing at short leg, and Amy Jones put in a polite enquiry that was referred upstairs.The players began returning to their fielding spots when replays showed Harmanpreet’s bat getting stuck outside the crease when the bails were dislodged.”We had no idea,” Bell said of the dismissal. “Danni had gone back to deep point and none of us thought it was out. And suddenly Danni’s on the boundary line [and celebrating]. That was a big surprise and quite welcoming.”It was the second time this year that Harmanpreet was out in this manner. The first was in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup against Australia earlier this year, where India collapsed after her wicket and went on to lose by five runs. Harmanpreet was very ill in the lead-up to that game.
