England take series after Brunt stars

A 98-run stand between Claire and Sarah Taylor and three wickets for Katherine Brunt in front of her home crowd sealed England the series against New Zealand

Cricinfo staff17-Jul-2010
ScorecardA 98-run stand between Claire and Sarah Taylor and three wickets for Katherine Brunt in front of her home crowd sealed England the series against New Zealand as they eased to a nine-wicket win in the 4th ODI at Barnsley.England came out on top in a more free-scoring encounter in the their last match to go 2-1 up in the five-match series but runs were harder to come by on this occasion. On a difficult track the home side cautiously chipped away at the modest total set by New Zealand, taking 46.1 overs to chase down 136.The tone was set by Sarah Taylor and Heather Knight, as they saw off the new-ball shine in a patient 41-run stand before Knight was bowled by Sophie Devine’s medium pace in the 18th over. It proved New Zealand’s last success in a forgettable day.Claire Taylor began slowly before regaining her old confidence to hit six boundaries and a six on her way to an unbeaten half-century. It was her second fifty of the series and is a good sign for England after she struggled for form earlier in the season. At the other end Sarah Taylor was happy to accumulate at her own pace, hitting just four fours and taking 130 deliveries to reach an undefeated 49.It meant England coasted to their target with 23 balls to spare. The hard work was done, however, in the first half of the game by England. Brunt enjoyed the familiar surroundings and burst through New Zealand’s top order, removing Lucy Doolan and the dangerous Suzie Bates.Isa Guha provided excellent support, dismissing Sara McGlashan and bowling four maidens in a miserly spell of 1 for 11 from her 10 overs. Having watched the opening pair do the damage, Jenny Gunn chipped in with two wickets as New Zealand crumbled to 78 for 6.Once again it was captain Aimee Watkins who provided the bulk of the resistance. She made 42 from 82 deliveries to carry the total over 100 but it was never going to be enough.”I never thought we would play here, it has been a dream come true for me,” Brunt said. “The conditions haven’t suited me in recent matches, but today it was a nice little seaming wicket. It meant the world to me to pick up a few wickets in front of my family.”

Spurs can unearth the new Bastoni in Rodon

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur side head into Saturday’s clash against table-topping Manchester City in something of a slump in form, having lost their last three outings in the Premier League.

And, considering the fact that Spurs have shipped seven goals over these three fixtures – two against Chelsea, three against Southampton and two against Wolverhampton Wanderers – it is clear that defence is an area in which the Italian’s outfit requires much improvement.

Indeed, Davinson Sanchez has been extremely poor in his last three starts on the right of Conte’s back three, with the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick awarding the 25-year-old a rating of 5/10 for his performance against the Blues, as well as a four in both the Saints and Wolves defeats, before the journalist questioned: “What has Joe Rodon got to do to get a chance?”

This is something that Conte almost immediately addressed, with the 52-year-old suggesting that he could have made a mistake in leaving the Wales international out against Wolves, stating in his post-match comments: “With Joe, we are talking about a really good guy. We are talking about a person whose commitment is very high every day. But, in this moment, maybe I make a mistake [picking] different players.”

And, considering the skillset of the 24-year-old centre-back – who is comfortable operating in any of the positions in a three-man defence, as well as boasting an impressive range of passing – Rodon would very much appear to be a perfect fit for the Italian’s style of play – something which makes it even more surprising that the defender has been overlooked this season.

Conte’s next Bastoni

Conte has proven before that, when he places his trust in an up and coming defender, they can go on to achieve great things together – with no better example being Alessandro Bastoni at Inter Milan.

Indeed, despite having joined the Nerazzurri from Atalanta back in January of 2017, it wasn’t until Conte’s 2019 arrival at San Siro that the 22-year-old was handed a senior appearance.

And, from that point, the defender went on to establish himself as a first-team regular under the 52-year-old coach – earning plaudits for his vision, versatility and range of passing, as well as seeing his Transfermarkt valuation climb from £20.7m at the time of Conte’s arrival to £54m today and earning nine caps for the Italian national side.

As such, with the £12.5m-rated Rodon boasting a similar skill set to that of Italian, it would appear extremely advisable for Conte to finally unleash the player who journalist Ian Mitchelmore dubbed a “flawless” and “special” talent, as, with a bit of patience, the Spurs boss could very well unearth his next Bastoni in the shape of the 24-year-old Welshman.

Pearce makes key Konate claim

Ibrahima Konate will be left out of Liverpool’s starting lineup to face Manchester City this weekend, according to reliable journalist James Pearce.

The Lowdown: Konate impresses despite error

The Frenchman started alongside Virgil van Dijk at Benfica in midweek, as the Reds won 3-1 in their Champions League quarter-final first leg clash.

Konate may have made an error for Darwin Nunez’s goal, air-kicking an attempted clearance, but he produced a superb overall performance in Portugal, drawing praise from Alisson for his display.

The 22-year-old made two tackles and one interception on the night, as well as the small matter of opening the scoring with a well-taken header – his first-ever goal for Liverpool.

The Latest: Pearce makes key claim

Despite this, Pearce believes Joel Matip will come in for Konate for Sunday’s huge trip to City, taking to Twitter to provide his thoughts:

“Some big decisions for Klopp v City. Matip back in for Konate pretty clear.”

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-transfer-news-27/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Correct decision

While Konate undoubtedly impressed against Benfica, bringing Matip back in for him is still the right call, should Jurgen Klopp do that.

He possesses more experience in such big games and he has been the superior player this season, performing magnificently next to Van Dijk and averaging 3.9 aerial duel wins per game in the league.

It would be a big shock if Konate was now picked, given his rawness, and his pace isn’t needed as much against a City side who are more intricate than fast.

Corinthians lamenta confusão na eleição e espera punição aos brigões

MatériaMais Notícias

O Corinthians se pronunciou neste domingo sobre a confusão após a eleição realizada no sábado, quando Andrés Sanchez venceu e tornou-se o novo presidente do clube. Em nota oficial, o Timão lamentou o ocorrido e diz que espera punição aos brigões. O texto também afirma que Andrés ligou para o repórter Flávio Ortega, da ESPN Brasil, que foi agredido durante o tumulto.

“O Sport Club Corinthians Paulista lamenta profundamente o episódio ocorrido após a apuração da eleição para Presidente e Conselheiros que aconteceu no sábado (03 de fevereiro de 2018).

O clube que contava com um corpo de segurança especialmente montado para a eleição comunicou todas as autoridades solicitando policiamento para o dia do evento.

O presidente Andrés Sanchez, que assumiu o cargo após a eleição, ligou pessoalmente ao repórter Flávio Ortega dos canais ESPN, se desculpando pelo fato e lamentando o ocorrido.

Como o acontecimento foi público e com vasto material colhido pela imprensa, o Corinthians espera que aos invasores sejam identificados e punidos pelas autoridades.

O Sport Club Corinthians Paulista também espera que situações como essas não se repitam.”

A CONFUSÃO APÓS A ELEIÇÃO

A confusão no sábado começou após Andrés Sanchez ser anunciado como o vencedor da eleição. Enquanto o novo presidente dava entrevista, um grupo começou a protestar, os seguranças tentaram conter o tumulto, mas Andrés teve de ficar no banheiro feminino do ginásio do Parque São Jorge por cerca de 20 minutos para não ser agredido.

A empurra-empurra continuou, e Andrés teve de deixar o banheiro cercado pelos seguranças. A Polícia Militar foi chamada para ajudar no trajeto do presidente até o prédio administrativo do Parque São Jorge.

Mesmo com a presença da PM, o protesto continuou. Gritos de “ladrão” e “Andrés, aqui não tem burguês” foram cantados. Em meio ao empurra-empurra, houve agressão a alguns jornalistas. O tumulto chegou ao fim quando Andrés, enfim, conseguiu entrar no prédio administrativo.

Cricinfo staff30-Jul-2010 – Match abandonedTorrential rains around noon ensured the third abandonment in four games played over two days in Trinidad, keeping Windward Islands and Combined Campuses and Colleges indoors for the final league game of the Caribbean T20. The more anticipated match-up of the day, between Guyana and Barbados met a similar fate earlier in the day leaving the tournament organisers worried about the knock-out games of the tournament to be played at the same venue over the next two days.Though the rains cleared after three hours, the Queen’s Park Oval was completely submerged and the officials were forced to abandon the second game two hours in advance, after having called off the first match immediately. Things were different yesterday when a washout was followed by a delayed and curtailed second match in the night.CCC and Windwards finish the tournament winless, while Barbados tops Zone B by virtue of a net run-rate advantage over Guyana despite being tied on points. Weather permitting, Guyana will play the hosts in the first semi-final tomorrow while Barbados will square off against Jamaica in the second. The losing semi-finalists will clash in a third-place play-off on the 31st ahead of the final.

Após preparação individual, Thiago Neves se diz pronto para disputar Libertadores com equipe celeste

MatériaMais Notícias

O meia Thiago Neves estava ausente no time celeste nas últimas partidas oficiais da Raposa. O jogador estava aprimorando a questão física para evitar qualquer risco de lesão no decorrer dos jogos do Cruzeiro. Faltando uma semana para a estreia na Libertadores, Thiago volta a compor a equipe comandada por Mano Menezes. No entanto, antes do torneio continental, a Raposatem o duelo contra o Boa Esporte, neste sábado, às 16h30, no Mineirão, pelo Campeonato Mineiro.

Thiago Neves enfatizou, em entrevista coletiva, que está pronto para ser relacionado por Mano Menezes para os próximos confrontos do Cruzeiro. O jogador também falou sobre a vontade de compor o time titular.

– Estou 100%. Me preparei bem, com medo que estava de ter uma lesão mais grave. Se o Mano precisar de mim para o fim de semana e para terça-feira, estou preparado para jogar. O mais importante é não sentir nada (dores). Já venho treinando sem dor nenhuma, tranquilo. É óbvio que fica (uma pulga atrás da orelha pelo bom desempenho dos companheiros enquanto ele esteve fora). Até pelo nível que o time está jogando. Rafinha, ano passado, jogou pouco, agora está jogando, fazendo um monte de gol, até a canhotinha está funcionando. Quando você fica de fora, quer voltar logo e não quer perder a vaga. O time está melhorando, evoluindo, mas quero estar entre os 11 – destacou o atleta.

O meia destacou a importância de conseguir orespeito dos rivais logo no início do torneio. A vitória, nesse caso, tem que ser o objetivo do time.

– Libertadores tem que começar bem, ganhar confiança e o respeito dos adversários. Se você ganha fora no primeiro jogo, na Argentina, os caras vão vir (jogar com o Cruzeiro no Mineirão) com mais respeito ainda. É importante para começar bem e para ter o Mineirão lotado no segundo jogo, em casa – comentou o armador.

A primeira partida da Raposa na Libertadores é dia 27, em Avellaneda, contra o Rancing-ARG. O jogo é válido pela primeira rodada do Grupo 5, que conta ainda comUniversidad de Concepción, do Chile, e o vencedor do confronto entreJorge Wilstermann-BOL e Vasco.

Liverpool: Enrique raves about Konate

Former Liverpool defender Jose Enrique lauded Ibrahima Konate during the 3-3 draw with Benfica in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg. 

The lowdown: Perfect fit

Signed for £36million from RB Leipzig (Sky Sports), the 22-year-old has made a seamless transition into life on Merseyside.

Following a difficult 2020/21 season with injuries, Liverpool sought to repair their defensive woes and Konate has already moved ahead of Joe Gomez in the Anfield pecking order.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/latest-liverpool-transfer-news-28/” title=”Latest Liverpool transfer news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Since arriving, the France Under 21 international has already tasted success as a Red, lifting the Carabao Cup trophy and even scoring a penalty in the shootout against Chelsea.

Called upon from the start as Jurgen Klopp named a heavily rotated side to face Benfica, Konate has caught the eye once again…

The latest: Enrique impressed

Taking to his personal Twitter account, ex-Liverpool full-back Enrique who now appears as a pundit on talkSPORT, lauded the 13-cap youth starlet after he opened the scoring on the night.

“Yes konateeeeeeeee. This guy is a beast in the air! 1-0 come on reds!!!”

Konate’s second goal for the club was topped off with a defensive masterclass containing one clearance, one interception and a 100% ground duel success rate (Sofascore), while he was also solid in possession, racking up 111 touches of the ball.

The verdict: Outstanding again

Whilst the Frenchman has failed to usurp Joel Matip as the first-choice partner alongside Virgil van Dijk, Klopp’s confidence to use the Paris-born star in games of this magnitude is testament to his ability and impact since arriving on Merseyside.

So far this season, Konate has made 21 appearances across all competitions for the Reds, five of which have come in the UEFA Champions League.

As Klopp’s men continue in their pursuit of an unprecedented quadruple, performances such as this will keep the powerful defender at the forefront of the German manager’s selection thoughts.
