Tamil Nadu and Andhra off to a winning start

The Tamil Nadu and Andhra under-19 sides have made a winning start to their respective campaigns in this year’s Cooch Behar Trophy, being held in Chennai

Staff Reporter22-Sep-2002The Tamil Nadu and Andhra under-19 sides have made a winning start to their respective campaigns in this year’s Cooch Behar Trophy, being held in Chennai. The Hyderabad and Karnataka under-19 sides have, meanwhile, shared honours in the other league match which ended at the SPIC-MCA ground on Saturday.A double-hundred from No 3 Dinesh Karthik (227 off 244 balls with 33 fours and one six) was the highlight in Tamil Nadu’s innings and 113-run win over Goa. After skipper Aditya Srikkanth won the toss and elected to field, the hosts led by new-ball bowler, Tamil Kumaran, who claimed 6-58, including a hat-trick, restricted Goa to just 151 runs in their first innings. With Karthik in facile form, Tamil Nadu rattled up 392-7 declared from 84 overs in reply . The Goan batsmen fared no better in their second essay too – the only difference being that off-spinner Abdul Malick proved to be their tormentor-in-chief this time around with 5-35 – as they slumped to a comprehensive defeat.The Andhra under-19s, meanwhile, had the better of the Kerala under-19s in a low-scoring match which ended at the AC Tech Ground on Saturday. The Kerala under-19 batsmen were in early trouble after their skipper MM Nathani opted to bat. With just two middle-order batsmen – PS Prem (32) and VN Kutty (36) – making handy contributions, they were restricted to 147 all out.The Andhra reply too got off to a bad start, but with ASK Varma (59) and skipper Y Gnaneswara Rao (40) getting amongst the runs, they managed to eke out a useful 54-run lead. The boys from Kerala lasted a while longer in their second innings but could only put up 141 runs on the board, leaving Andhra just 88 to get for victory. With opener M Suresh scoring 58, they achieved the target with ease, sealing an eight-wicket victory.The Hyderabad-Karnataka encounter pitted two of the strongest teams in the competition against each other. Hyderbad went on to have the better of the exchanges, scoring 375 runs after opting to bat and then dismissing Karnataka for 210 in their first innings. But with skipper Deepak Chougule leading from the front with 75 off 110 balls, the Karnataka team saved the match after being asked to follow-on, reaching 160-3 in their second innings before play was called off.

Abalo segue fazendo parte da rotina de familiares das vítimas em tragédia na Colômbia

MatériaMais Notícias

Nem mesmo as homenagens proporcionadas pela Chapecoense e pelo mundo têm sido suficientes para confortar os familiares das vítimas da tragédia da Colômbia. Meses após o acidente com o voo da LaMia, parentes dos atletas que se foram não escondem seu abalo e até questionam um suposto descaso do clube catarinense.

Irmão de Bruno Rangel, Joelson revelou que, mesmo com boa parte de sua família fragilizada, não houve procura de nenhuma pessoa ligada à Chape:

– É claro que o clube tem que continuar sua história. Agora, a gente vê o pessoal gritando “vamo, vamo, Chape” e parece que tudo está às mil maravilhas. Eu sei que as pessoas não podem parar, mas fico um pouco entristecido. Eles (a diretoria da Chapecoense) tinham de procurar saber como as famílias estão. Muita gente vem dependendo de psicólogos, esta parte de extracampo não está nada bem – afirmou, ao LANCE!, ressaltando que não conseguiu ver o jogo devido à emoção.

Joelson, que mora no estado do Rio de Janeiro, disse se surpreender com a postura da Chape porque boa parte das vítimas era de fora de Chapecó:

– Não estou atribuindo uma culpa à Chapecoense por tudo. O que eles estão fazendo é muito bonito, comoveu o mundo todo. Mas fico triste porque eu achava que as pessoas de Chapecó iriam entrar em contato para saber como está o filho do Bruno, se a família está precisando de apoio psicológico. Porque boa parte das vítimas era de fora do estado.

Ao LANCE!, Viviane, irmã de Ananias e moradora do estado do Maranhão, lamentou que a lei seja restritiva quanto ao auxílio aos familiares:

– Família não é só esposa e filho. Minha mãe já havia passado pelo drama de perder uma filha em um acidente, e agora perdemos o Ananias também em um acidente. É muita coisa! A gente segue abalado, ainda mais porque o Ananias era uma pessoa maravilhosa, e merecia todas as homenagens.

Segundo o vice-presidente jurídico da Chape, Luiz Antônio Pallaoro, o clube catarinense teria deixado à disposição acompanhamento psicológico para todas as famílias:

– Demos todos os atendimentos psicológicos, e continuamos disponibilizando estes atendimentos até às famílias de fora de Chapecó, tudo por nossa conta. Mas, infelizmente, não podemos trazer os entes queridos de volta – disse, ao L!.

O advogado disse que compreende o abalo emocional dos familiares, mas apontou que a hora é de a vida da Chapecoense também continuar.

– Nós, daqui, perdemos 44 amigos. Eu mesmo, poderia estar no voo, desisti de última hora. A gente sabe do abalo, e tentamos fazer o possível.

Entre as 71 vítimas na tragédia de 29 de novembro de 2016, estavam 19 atletas e o técnico Caio Júnior, além de integrantes da delegação do clube catarinense.

Villa agree personal terms with Leon Bailey

Aston Villa appear to have made an exciting transfer breakthrough in their bid to sign Bayer Leverkusen star Leon Bailey.

What’s the story?

Reports in recent days have suggested that Dean Smith’s side are eyeing up a swoop for the Jamaican winger this summer as they look to bring in some new faces ahead of the start of the Premier League campaign next month.

Football Insider have now claimed that Villa have agreed personal terms with Bailey, with the 23-year-old set for a significant pay rise if a deal goes through.

The report added that “Villa may need to break their transfer record for that to happen”.

Fans will be buzzing

Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, the Express and Star’s Luke Hatfield said: Villa will be very confident in themselves with any bid that they go in with. I don’t think there’s any bid that they put down where they think, ‘We’re not going to get this player.’

“I imagine they’re very confident with the bid which they’re going to try and put in. I don’t know whether they’ve put in a bid already, there’s some reports saying they have, some reports saying they’re considering one.

“But he’s clearly a player they like and they’ll be confident in trying to bring him to Villa Park.”

The £31.5m-rated Bailey enjoyed an outstanding 2020/21 campaign in the Bundesliga, bagging an impressive 15 goals and providing another 11 assists to boot. That was one goal more than Ollie Watkins, the centre-forward who was Villa’s top Premier League scorer last term, indicating just how much of a threat the Leverkusen gem could add to Smith’s armoury.

News that Villa have reached an agreement with Bailey’s camp over contract terms ahead of a possible move is another big step towards securing the Jamaican ahead of the new Premier League season.

Villa fans must be absolutely buzzing with this latest development over one of their club’s exciting transfer targets.

Meanwhile, Ashley Preece has confirmed some exciting Aston Villa transfer news…

Speakman drops update on Hume’s future

Sunderland are in continued negotiations with Denver Hume regarding the defender’s new contract at the Stadium of Light.

What’s been said?

That’s according to Kristjaan Speakman, with the Sunderland sporting director revealing in an interview with the Sunderland Echo that he is desperate to keep the left-back at the club this summer, as well as confirming that the Black Cats have made the 22-year-old a very good offer.

However, the 42-year-old continues by claiming that his side are in continued talks with the defender, as well as stating his desire for the issue to be resolved, one way or another, before Sunderland kick off the new League One campaign this weekend.

Speakman said: “Denver is in every day doing his work, he’s a smashing young professional and a cracking kid. We have no issue with where it’s at, at the minute.

“We are relaxed, but of course at some point you need the decision. We have to provide the fairest amount of time to make a decision, and we have a duty of care to Denver because he’s one of our homegrown players.

“We don’t like to go down the route of hard deadlines but I think that naturally, when the season starts, we need to know who is in the squad. Those conversations with Denver are ongoing.”

Johnson will be delighted

With Speakman appearing upbeat about the chances of Hume putting pen to paper on a new deal with the club, as well as seeming relatively relaxed about the situation surrounding the defender’s contract, this is sure to have taken a great deal of weight off of Lee Johnson’s shoulders.

The 22-year-old highly impressed for the Black Cats last season, with the 40-year-old manager undoubtedly hoping that he will be able to call upon the youngster once again in the club’s upcoming League One campaign.

Indeed, over his 24 league appearances last season, the £2.4k-per-week man scored one goal, registered two assists and created two big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 0.6 interceptions, 1.3 tackles and 1.3 key passes per game.

These metrics saw the left-back earn an average SofaScore match rating of 6.94, ranking him as Johnson’s 11th-best performer in the third division of English football.

As such, Speakman’s comments regarding the latest on Hume are sure to have left the Mackems boss buzzing, as the 22-year-old very much seems to possess the ability to make a real difference in Sunderland’s push to finally succeed in getting out of League One come the end of their campaign.

Pawar rules out two IPLs in a year

Sharad Pawar, the Indian board president, has ruled out the possibility of Lalit Modi’s idea of having two IPL tournaments a year and said the ICC calendar offers no such scope

Cricinfo staff30-May-2008Sharad Pawar, the Indian board president, has ruled out the possibility of executing Lalit Modi’s idea of two IPL tournaments a year, saying the ICC calendar offers no such scope.”We have just got one window from the ICC per year,” Pawar said in a television interview. “The calendar is ready for next seven years, so there is no scope.” Modi, the IPL commissioner, had earlier proposed two editions of the league from 2011.The idea is not very popular with players as well. While Rahul Dravid, the Bangalore Royal Challengers captain, said it was a “difficult” proposition and that he would hate to see a dilution of Test cricket to fit in Twenty20 games, Virender Sehwag, the captain of the Delhi Daredevils, who have qualified for the IPL semi-finals, felt two tournaments a year may trigger premature retirements.However IPL organisers are working with other national boards to see if a Champions League – involving the top two domestic Twenty20 teams from five countries – can be played later this year.
