Players who choose to play for their IPL franchise over their local team in the Champions League do not betray their nation, Kumar Sangakkara has said, after a meeting with Sri Lanka Cricket on Tuesday evening yielded no concrete decisions on which team he would represent in the tournament. Sangakkara has been named in the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad, but SLC have also asked him to play for the Kandurata Warriors side, Sri Lanka’s only team in the tournament.If he plays for Kandurata, however, Sangakkara stands to lose $140,000 from his IPL salary – a figure which is close to his entire annual earnings from the board. Although he is financially vulnerable under his IPL contract, he will not breach that contract if he plays for his local team, as the Champions League rules leave the choice of the team to the player.”Unfortunately in the last week it has been portrayed as a country versus franchise issue; a money versus loyalty issue,” Sangakkara told . “That’s unfair, not just to me, but to any player in this situation, because it is not the case. I think if local players are required to play for their home franchise, then those agreements must be discussed at the start of an IPL season between the cricket board, the IPL and the player, but there is no such agreement there.””The way the public has viewed it and it has been presented to the public, it has been made into an issue where whichever way I go, I am the one who suffers.”After their meeting, SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said the board had begun discussions with Sunrisers Hyderabad regarding Sangakkara’s release. SLC’s correspondence with Sunrisers includes a request to mitigate the financial penalty Sangakkara is liable to receive if he does not play for Sunrisers, Sangakkara said.”I told the cricket board I am more than happy for them to get involved and speak to the franchise in India and the IPL governing council, and secure my release in a manner that either doesn’t penalise me, or penalises me very minimally, so I am able to play wherever they direct me to play.”Whether Sunrisers are content to allow Sangakkara to play for Kandurata but still pay him his full salary may be dependent on whether they have planned for him to be a major part of their tournament strategy. Sunrisers coach Tom Moody would not be drawn on whether his team would acquiesce to SLC’s request, but told ESPNcricinfo that Sangakkara remained “an important cog of the team, as all our international players are.”SLC will hope, however, that Sunrisers did not plan to play Sangakkara in their preferred XI, and that they will be swayed by the prospect of retaining the $150,000 sum that a foreign franchise must pay a players’ qualifying home team, if he plays for the foreign team in the Champions League.Despite its dire financial situation, SLC has seemed unconcerned about receiving this payment and Ranatunga confirmed the board was happy to effectively incur that loss.Sangakkara is crucial to Kandurata’s hopes in the tournament as he was their most experienced player in the domestic competition, and is also capable of providing leadership support to young captain Lahiru Thirimanne. He has been in the limited-overs form of his life in the past three months, in which he has revealed a hyper-aggressive facet to his batting, borne out through an unprecedented range of strokes.In contrast, he had had a poor IPL for Sunrisers, and although he began the season as captain, he increasingly left himself out of the side towards the end of the tournament.

'Tivemos muita autoridade, mas voltamos sem gol', lamenta Sampaoli

MatériaMais Notícias

O técnico Jorge Sampaoli não considera que a opção por uma equipe mista tenha pesado na derrota por 1 a 0 do Santos para o Atlético-GO, no jogo de ida da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. Em entrevista coletiva após o duelo no Antônio Accioly, o argentino fez sua avaliação do confronto:

-Eles fizeram festa, estavam empolgados em fazer essa partida. O Santos teve um primeiro tempo superior, poderia ter vencido por ao menos dois gols, não concretizou. Não teve a ver com o “rodízio”. A equipe teve muita autoridade, contra uma boa equipe. Viemos buscar o resultado, como sempre, mas voltamos sem gol.

O treinador explicou que o clássico diante do Corinthians, pela semifinal do Paulista, na próxima segunda-feira, não foi o único fator para decidir poupar jogadores titulares:

– Pensando em tudo. Nós temos uma viagem agora, temos que treinar amanhã (sexta-feira), voltar, só dois dias para treinar para enfrentar o Corinthians. São jogadores que estão jogando muito.

Sampaoli não escondeu que a expulsão de Gustavo Henrique atrapalhou os planos santistas:

– Tivemos duas ou três chances que não convertemos. A expulsão nos obrigou a mudar, algo que não estava previsto, pela necessidade de ter um zagueiro central.

De acordo com ele, cabe ao Santos se impor na Vila Belmiro para garantir sua classificação na quinta-feira da semana que vem (11):

– Fizemos as coisas muito bem em grande parte do jogo, mas o rival aproveitou a jogada e nos venceu. Agora é ter a volta pra ver se podemos mudar a história. Precisamos nos levantar rapidamente para que essas coisas não rondem nossa cabeça.

O Santos volta a enfrentar o Atlético-GO na próxima quinta-feira. A equipe precisa de triunfo superior a um gol para garantir a vaga no tempo normal. Já o Dragão tem a vantagem do empate. Caso o Peixe vença por um gol nos 90 minutos, a decisão irá para os pênaltis.

Obuya helps Kenya draw level

Kenya squared the two-match T20 series after comfortably beating Afghanistan by 34 runs in Sharjah

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Oct-2013
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsKenya squared the two-match T20 series after comfortably beating Afghanistan by 34 runs in Sharjah. The win was set up by the captain Collins Obuya who batted through the innings to guide Kenya to 149 and then picked up two wickets. Afghanistan’s middle order failed to step up and the side was bowled out for 115.Opting to bat, openers Obuya and Nehemiah Odhiambo got off to a solid start by adding 87 in ten overs. Odhiambo went on the attack to the legspinner Samiullah Shenwari, hitting him for two sixes in an over before the bowler had the last laugh, beating him in flight as he tried to launch another six. Afghanistan pulled things back to restrict Kenya to 149, with Obuya staying unbeaten on 60 with six fours and a six.Afghanistan’s start wasn’t as effective as they lost Mohammad Shehzad in the third over, bowled after hitting Elijah Otieno for two consecutive fours. Shahzad’s opening partner Karim Sadiq fell in the next over, top-edging Shem Ngoche to mid-off. Nawroz Mangal gave the chase a boost with an aggressive 36 off 23 balls that included three sixes. He had taken the score to 68 in the ninth over but was caught at mid-off off Obuya, who took the first of his two wickets.Mangal’s wicket hurt Afghanistan’s chances as the middle order failed to find the boundaries and lost wickets at regular intervals. Otieno took two more wickets to finish with 3 for 16 and Kenya finally registered a win in an otherwise forgettable tour of the UAE, in which they lost two ODIs, an Intercontinental Cup match and the first T20.

Another high-scorer on cards for series decider

Yet another 350-plays-350 – entirely possible in Bangalore – would be the definitive message to the legislators of the game that they have badly skewed the balance between bat and ball

Start time 1330 local (0800 GMT)Will Australia run into the Virat Kohli juggernaut again?•BCCI

Big PictureThe series couldn’t have meant more differently to the two sides. It is tied 2-2, is headed into a decider in Bangalore, and what do Australia do? They take, Mitchell Johnson, self-admittedly their Man of the Series, and put him on a flight to Australia so he can present a case and prepare for the Ashes. India, on the other hand, have rested their important Test allrounder – on Indian turning tracks, that is – for the West Indies Tests because he has a shoulder strain, but they have every intention to play the man, Ravindra Jadeja, in this decider.So down we go into one last run-fest between a desperate home side who last won a proper ODI series against these visitors back in 1986, and the tourists whose minds are already thinking of the Ashes. The captains and the bowlers have come to Bangalore fearing the worst because of the short boundaries there, the batsmen are not gloating about the runs they have amassed, and yet another 350-plays-350 – entirely possible here – could be the definitive message to the legislators of the game that they have badly skewed the balance between bat and ball.Form guideAustralia LWLWW (most recent games first, completed matches)
India WLWLWIn the spotlightVirat Kohli comes back to his third home for this ODI. His second home is Delhi, and his first is when he is batting in a chase. Within 13 days he has scored India’s fastest and third-fastest centuries to make them the only side in the world to have successfully chased down 350 or more twice. India will need more of the same.George Bailey has been to Australia what Kohli has been to India. He will be fighting Johnson for the Man-of-the-Series award. Bailey has done enough to make a case for himself: he now has the most runs in a bilateral series by anyone. He is also the leading ODI run-getter in 2013.Team newsAmit Mishra’s first home ODI began well with the ball turning and the batsmen not picking his wrong ‘uns, but it went wrong pretty soon, and long hops made regular appearances as he was put under pressure. He could lose out to Jaydev Unadkat in the only likely change in the Indian XI.India (probable) 1 Rohit Sharma, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Virat Kohli, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Jaydev Unadkat, 11 Mohammed ShamiNathan Coulter-Nile is expected to take Johnson’s place.Australia (probable) 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Phillip Hughes, 3 Shane Watson, 4 George Bailey (capt), 5 Adam Voges, 6 Glenn Maxwell, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 James Faulkner, 9 Nathan Coulter-Nile, 10 Clint McKay, 11 Xavier DohertyStats and trivia Kohli needs 81 runs to reach 5000 in ODIs. If he does it in this game, he will be the fastest to the landmark. If he takes two innings to get there, he will be the joint-fastest, alongside Viv Richards Kohli is the only player to have scored five successive scores of 50-plus on two separate occasions Only Hashim Amla has reached 1500 career ODI runs faster than Bailey, who did so in his 32nd inningsQuotes”It has turned out to be a great series for our team in many ways; the way we’ve fought back from different situations. Personally, I’ve been pleased with my batting and hopefully I can do it again in the last game.”
“It’s a very exciting way to end this series. I think it’s just reward that it’s two-all now, leading into the final, because it has been an outstanding series so far.”

Exame não constata lesão em Rodrigo Dourado

Garantido na próxima fase da Libertadores, o Internacional retomou as atividades nesta quinta-feira com uma preocupação. Rodrigo Dourado, que saiu com dores no joelho esquerdo do jogo contra o Palestino, é dúvida para o duelo contra o Grêmio.

Sem a presença garantida no jogo do próximo domingo, o atleta fica em observação no departamento médico para acelerar a recuperação.

Em caso de não aproveitamento de Rodrigo Dourado, Odair Hellmann deve promover a entrada de Rodrigo Lindoso. O jogador possui a mesma característica do companheiro no quesito marcação e tende a ganhar a concorrência com Rithely.

Além da incógnita com Dourado, o Colorado já sabe que não poderá contar com o lateral-direito Bruno. O jogador ainda sofre com uma lesão muscular e não fica à disposição no fim de semana.

Yusuf six-for keeps Baroda in contest

On an increasingly wearing pitch, Baroda and Tamil Nadu were assisted by excellent showings from either side’s most experienced player, as Baroda reached 73 for 1, holding onto a 2-run lead over Tamil Nadu

ScorecardYusuf Pathan took a second six-for in his first-class career•ESPNcricinfo Ltd

On an increasingly wearing pitch, Baroda and Tamil Nadu were assisted by excellent showings from either side’s most experienced player. Dinesh Karthik was a study in conviction for his 92, while Baroda’s captain Yusuf Pathan was rewarded for his discipline with his fifth first-class five-for. The visitors’ top-order exhibited better intent in the second innings to edge ahead by two runs by the time bad light ended the extended final session prematurely.Overnight rain enforced a delayed start but Tamil Nadu’s hopes of an outright win were bolstered as Karthik and B Indrajith enjoyed the first half-century partnership of the match. Decisive footwork aided their efforts to keep the score moving, and subsequently keep the spinners at bay.Karthik was especially potent when he left the crease, lofting Ketul Patel over his head in his very first over. A particularly pleasing drive over mid-off’s head just before lunch exemplified his comfort against the spinners, but he was lured into such aggression because Tamil Nadu lost two crucial wickets.Indrajith, whose soft hands and late strokeplay had kept him in good stead for 38, saw one roll back from his bat and onto his stumps. R Prasanna’s ambition got the better of him as he looked to pull a length ball and was out leg before. Tamil Nadu’s longish tail was exposed as soon as they had taken the lead.Yusuf looked the most threatening of Baroda’s three spinners, and his success was brought about through a combination of persistence, luck and inept batting by the lower order. Malolan Rangarajan had an ill-timed rush of blood and was caught off a leading edge to end a promising 39-run stand with Karthik. Only the over previously had Karthik slammed a six and a four off consecutive balls.An iffy lbw decision denied Karthik a 19th first-class century, and second on the trot. Yusuf elicited some quick turn to surprise the batsman as he moved onto the back foot, but the ball had struck the pads quite high. The rest of the batting could not muster much fight as Yusuf pocketed 6 for 84.Baroda endured a testing few overs before tea where the ball had begun a disturbing trend of keeping low. It continued after the break when Karthik committed his fist mistake of the day as he rose too quickly behind the stumps and could not cling on to an outside edge from opener Dhiren Mistry. The 22-year-old, who top-scored in Baroda’s first innings, exuded the same solidity while at the crease and was given good company by Aditya Waghmode as they took Baroda to 73 for 1 when play was called off.Baroda’s only blemish was the running between the wickets, which accounted for Saurabh Wakaskar, who was found short of his ground after Mistry called him through for a single to point.

Santos presenteia Jorge Sampaoli com uma nova bicicleta após furto

MatériaMais Notícias

Na última quinta-feira, durante um de seus tradicionais passeios na cidade de Santos, o técnico Jorge Sampaoli teve sua bicicleta furtada enquanto resolvia problemas em um banco. Até o momento, ela não foi recuperada. No entanto, o Peixe tratou de reparar essa perda e presenteou o comandante neste sábado com uma nova bicicleta, entregue no CT Rei Pelé.

Para simbolizar o gesto de carinho do clube com o argentino, as crianças que sempre assistem ao treino do time no centro de treinamento foram as escolhidas para entregar a bike. Na última sexta-feira, o caminho das lembranças foi o contrário. Sampaoli deu ovos de Páscoa aos garotos que lá estavam. Antes já havia distribuído bolas e chuteiras para seus ‘novos amigos’.

A divulgação do episódio foi feita por meio do Twitter oficial do clube que, sempre com muito humor, postou fotos e explicou a situação. E não deixou nem mesmo o treinador longe das brincadeiras, já que aconselhou Sampaoli a usar o cadeado da próxima vez, a fim de evitar novo furto. Isso porque quando entrou na agência, deixou a bike encostada em um poste, sem qualquer proteção.

Além disso, foram postadas imagens e um vídeo de ‘flagras’ do treinador passeando com sua antiga bicicleta pela cidade, algo que tem encantado torcedores e pessoas dentro do clube. Esse evento é mais um daqueles que reafirmam a estreita relação de Sampaoli com o Santos e a cidade.
