O Guarani fez uma partida de incrível recuperação contra a Ponte Preta na última segunda-feira (16) para vencer o dérbi diante da Ponte Preta por 3 a 2 após iniciar o confronto perdendo por 2 a 0.

Titular no confronto e peça importante no esquema tático do treinador Thiago Carpini, o volante Lucas Abreu destacou a força do elenco para conquistar três valiosos pontos:

– Iniciar um clássico como esse perdendo por 2 x 0 e conseguir virar como viramos foi fantástico e isso mostra a força do grupo. Foi uma vitória de uma equipe de guerreiros, de jogadores que vêm se dedicando ao máximo no dia a dia para fazer um Guarani ainda mais forte. Todos estão de parabéns por esse importante triunfo.

Para o jogador, apesar do Bugre está bem próximo de conquistar a vaga nas finais do Paulistão (cinco pontos a frente do terceiro colocado do Grupo C, o Corinthians, restando seis em disputa caso o torneio prossiga), todos estão com os pés no chão.

– Estamos fazendo um grande campeonato e isso é o mais importante. A equipe está bem próxima de chegar às finais, mas todos aqui estão com os pés no chão. Nada de euforia neste momento. É importante manter isso nas duas rodadas que faltam para chegarmos às finais e, quem sabe, na liderança do nosso grupo – salientou.

Lucas ainda falou sobre a paralisação do Paulistão e a decisão, na sua opinião, acertada da Federação Paulista de Futebol como forma de prevenção a pandemia do coronavírus:

– Foi uma decisão acertada e que tem o apoio de todos que estão no futebol: dirigentes, jogadores, treinadores e torcedores. É uma medida para evitar que o problema se alastre em todo o país. Precisamos ter muita cautela neste momento difícil.

Caso a competição tenha sequência, o time campineiro encerra a fase classificatória visitando o Botafogo-SP em Ribeirão Preto e recebe no Brinco de Ouro o São Paulo.

Three-wicket hauls from fast bowler Ashok Dinda and legspinner Adam Zampa crafted Rising Pune Supergiants’ 19-run win via D/L method and hurt Delhi Daredevils’ chances of making the playoffs

Rising Pune Supergiants completed the double over Delhi Daredevils whose chances of making the playoffs received a jolt with a 19-run loss via D/L method in Visakhapatnam. Daredevils can still qualify for the playoffs with 14 or 16 points, but their net rate of -0.125 means they may need to win by a substantial margin in their remaining two games.Fast bowler Ashok Dinda knocked over the Daredevils openers within five overs, before R Ashwin and Adam Zampa found sharp turn to smother Daredevils to 121 for 6.Karun Nair, who showed considerable application to top score with 41, later said that his team was 25-30 runs short. Rain handed Daredevils two reprieves in their defence, before the game was called off by midnight. Ajinkya Rahane’s steady 42 not out steered Supergiants ahead in their chase and helped drag the side off the bottom of the table.The pitch on Tuesday was the same one used for the last two matches in Visakhapatnam. The conditions – both overhead and underfoot – and Supergiants’ improved fielding offered no breathing room for Daredevils until Morris blazed away. He struck the first six of the match in the final over of Daredevils’ innings and capped an otherwise sluggish innings with another muscled six over midwicket. But the game was Supergiants’ after they had kept Daredevils to 28 for 2, their third sub-30 score in the Powerplay this season.Dinda got his first ball to swing prodigiously and rapped Quinton de Kock’s pad with an inducker. That was heading down leg, but Dinda had de Kock lbw for 2 with a similar ball in his second over. Dinda then prolonged the lean patch of the returning Shreyas Iyer when he bounced the opener out for his fifth single-digit score in six matches in IPL 2016.Nair began fluently with drives and pulls against the seamers before the advent of spin restored Supergiants’ ascendancy. Zampa worked Sanju Samson over, having him stumped with a perfect legbreak that followed a brace of skiddy, quicker balls. He went on to dismiss Rishabh Pant and Nair in his next two overs. Daredevils were reduced to 70 for 5 in 14.3 overs.Ashwin, who was introduced in the 12th over, sent down an uninterrupted spell that read: 4-0-23-0. JP Duminy hung on for a run-a-ball 14 before he scooped Dinda to short fine leg.Morris mowed six boundaries, including two sixes and two fours off the last four balls of the innings, to finish with an unbeaten 38 off 20 balls.Supergiants opener Usman Khawaja threw away another bright start when he sliced Morris to backward point for 19 off 13 balls, but Rahane gave the chase substance with three off-driven fours and an upper cut off a Nathan Coulter-Nile bouncer. A top-edge off another hurrying bouncer from the Australia fast bowler detached George Bailey’s helmet before rain forced a delay of nearly an hour. Supergiants needed 65 off 70 balls when play resumed at 11.30pm and Bailey shook off the blow by getting on top of another lifting ball and whipping past midwicket.Sixteen balls after the first interruption, rain made another appearance. This spell brought an end to the game.

Leicestershire County Cricket Club has secured a £1 million loan from the city council to improve its facilities in time for next year’s Women’s World Cup

ESPNcricinfo staff25-Feb-2016Leicestershire County Cricket Club has secured a £1 million loan from the city council to improve its facilities in time for next year’s Women’s World Cup.The loan, which will be repaid in full from Leicestershire’s ECB grant in 2018, will be serviced at a 5% interest rate and secured by a formal legal agreement between the club and the ECB.It follows Leicester City Council’s lifting, in February 2014, of a 50-year-old covenant that had previously restricted development at the club. The club was granted permission, in January, to install permanent floodlights, which they hope will be in place by the start of this season’s NatWest T20 Blast in May.Grace Road was named earlier this month as one of the five venues for the Women’s World Cup, alongside Taunton, Derby, Bristol and Lord’s, which will host the final on July 23.”We have a robust business plan and want to improve the experience of coming to the Fischer County Ground, Grace Road as quickly as we can,” said Wasim Khan, Leicestershire’s chief executive.”Our plans include improving public Wi-Fi, increasing the number of quality food and drink outlets to reduce queuing, and developing our existing stands all around the ground. We also want to restore the Maurice Burrows Balcony to give supporters a great view of the action.”It’s imperative that we drive forward these plans as quickly as possible, as we are hosting major match days in the next two years, including our popular NatWest T20 Blast games and the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2017. That event will help inspire a generation of young cricket supporters and will encourage more female cricketers to take up sport in the city of Leicester.Despite ongoing concerns about the level of debt that the club has accumulated in recent seasons, Leicester’s City Mayor, Peter Soulsby, said that he recognised the wide-reaching benefits of investing in sports facilities.”The cricket club has ambitious plans which will help to attract more people to attend matches, and will raise the profile of the club and the city across the country,” Soulsby said. “Having successful sports clubs brings major benefits to the city, as the recent success of Leicester City Football Club has shown. By providing this loan the council can help the cricket club to fast-track its improvements, and we will earn interest on the repayment.”Five per cent interest is more than we would get if we left the money in the bank,” Soulsby told the Leicester Mercury. “We are intensely aware that other well-meaning councils have had their fingers burned when they have made loans to sports clubs. [But] we have done all the due diligence on this and the loan is secured.”

West Indies are without two of their headline batsmen in Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo but Test captain Denesh Ramdin is confident they can still compete on their tour of South Africa

Firdose Moonda02-Dec-20141:21

‘Not looking at the past’

Denesh Ramdin has reason to want to forget the last time West Indies played Tests in South Africa. He was going through a rough patch and scored only 109 runs in the three-Test series, which was sandwiched between rubbers against England and Sri Lanka where he didn’t manage much more. But Ramdin is forcing himself to remember the summer of 2007 because it was a season when West Indies enjoyed a rare success.They beat South Africa in Port Elizabeth – their only win in the country – in the series opener and were dreaming of much more. “The last time we were here we won the first Test match but then we didn’t show the fight and determination for the rest of the series,” Ramdin said. “This time we will let that motivate us and we will try and go one step further.”If Ramdin is talking literally, he is asking his men for two victories which will see them take the Sir Viv Richards trophy off South Africa and topple the World No.1s. That West Indies, who are ranked 8th with only Bangladesh and Zimbabwe below them, have allowed themselves to think that far seems admirable. That they are doing so while missing two headline batsmen in Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo appears nothing more than wishful. But Ramdin is lining his fantasy with reason.”Of course for any team that loses Chris Gayle, it’s a blow for them and everyone would have loved to see Darren here batting – he is a free stroke-playing guy but he’s got personal issues,” Ramdin said. “So hopefully a young player can take the opportunity to do well for himself and the team. There are a couple of young players in the mix but then a couple of senior players – [Shivnarine] Chanderpaul, myself, Marlon Samuels – who will guide them through.”Kraigg Brathwaite will hope he can step up in the absence of Chris Gayle and Darren Bravo and make a name for himself in South Africa•WICBBatting big is going to be West Indies’ priority and it may be why they arrived in the country with more than two weeks to go before the first Test. “We are trying to acclimatise to the pitches as quickly as possible,” Ramdin said. West Indies have one three-day tour match against an Invitation XI next week but will be based up country where they can enjoy the spicy surfaces at grounds like the Wanderers and SuperSport Park as they prepare.Their focus will be on readying the top-order for resistance against Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel. “They have a very strong bowling line-up but we have to bat really long and not give them opportunities with the new ball to get the middle and lower order in,” Ramdin said.They may even ask Gayle, who is in the country playing for the Johannesburg-based Lions’ franchise in the domestic twenty-over competition, for some advice. “He always has wise words and he will be a motivating factor,” Richie Richardson, West Indies team manager said. “If he is around the hotel and he wants to meet us, we will invite him in.”Ultimately, though, it will be up to Devon Smith, Kraigg Brathwaite and Jermaine Blackwood to step up and Ramdin is confident they will. He pointed to Smith – fresh off a century for Windward Islands – and Brathwaite’s domestic form and urge them to make the most of the chance to “make a name for themselves,” in South Africa. “It’s very important that guys who are set don’t leave it up to the other players,” Ramdin said. “If you get hundred, you should score a big hundred. When you do that you keep the opposition out of the game.”And he did not forget about the job his bowlers will have to do. On lively pitches, Ramdin hopes Jerome Taylor and Shannon Gabriel can give South Africa a taste of their own medicine. “We have a very good bowling line-up as well,” he said. “The new ball is going to be very important and we will try and expose the middle and lower order of the South Africans.”But the undercurrent of Ramdin’s tough talk was that his men would actually be the ones on the back foot over the next five weeks and anything more than that would be a bonus. “It will be a very tough series for us,” he admitted. “It’s going to be tough mentally. We have not been playing Test cricket as we would like to play so we really need to play some good cricket here.” If they do, then the 2007-08 series can return to where it belongs: the back of Ramdin’s memory bank.

Billy Godleman made his highest limited overs score as Derbyshire booked a place in the quarter-finals of the Royal London One-Day Cup with a 53-run victory over Gloucestershire at Derby.

ScorecardBilly Godleman saw Derbyshire through with 96 – his highest one-day score for Derbyshire•Getty ImagesBilly Godleman made his highest limited overs score as Derbyshire booked a place in the quarter-finals of the Royal London One-Day Cup with a 53-run victory over Gloucestershire at Derby.Godleman, who is out of contract at the end of the season, scored 96 from 131 balls and with skipper Wayne Madsen, 57 off 65 balls, shared a third wicket stand of 116 in 22 overs which underpinned the Falcons’ 271 for 7 from their 50 overs.Gloucestershire had already qualified and needed to win to have a chance of a home tie but despite Chris Dent’s 70 from 58 balls and Jack Taylor’s 53 off 36, they were all out for 218, with captain Michael Klinger forced to retire hurt with a broken arm after he was struck by a lifting ball from Mark Footitt.Godleman and Madsen laid the platform for the victory by playing patiently on a slow pitch to make sure Derbyshire posted a competitive total after Wes Durston had gone cheaply and Marcus North was needlessly run out. Durston was caught behind driving at Craig Miles for 14 and North went for 20 when he set off for a suicidal run to point but Madsen joined Godleman to put the innings back on track.They had to work hard against disciplined bowling supported by keen fielding although 18 came from the 30th over with Godleman launching Dent over long-on for six. Madsen drove David Payne for a straight six but was well caught behind by Gareth Roderick off the next ball and after Alex Hughes went the same way to Will Gidman, Derbyshire had scored only 27 from the second five over Powerplay.When Godleman was taken down the legside off Gidman in the 42nd over, Derbyshire needed some late acceleration and Tony Palladino provided it by clipping Will Gidman over square leg for six and pulling Payne over the midwicket boundary on his way to an unbeaten 28 from 14 balls.Gloucestershire’s chase started badly when Klinger was hit on the left forearm and retired hurt in the third over and Hamish Marshall was lbw in the next when he played across the line at Ben Cotton. But Dent responded by upper-cutting Footitt for six and taking four fours from a Cotton over before Durston took a superb diving catch at second slip to remove Roderick.Dent continued to play impressively, driving Durston for six over long-on to reach 50 from 37 balls but Footitt returned in the second Powerplay to have Ian Cockbain caught behind for 13 and Gloucestershire’s hopes suffered a double blow in the space of two overs.First David Wainwright found some turn to beat the defensive push of Dent and then Will Gidman got a leading edge attempting to turn Hughes through midwicket and lobbed a gentle catch to short extra cover.At 121 for 5 and with Klinger unable to resume his innings, Derbyshire were in control and Benny Howell’s attempt to turn the game ended in the hands of Durston on the run at deep midwicket. Alex Gidman was lbw reverse sweeping Wainwright for 47 and although Taylor gave Derbyshire a late scare by hitting four sixes, there were 61 balls remaining when Palladino sealed an impressive victory.Derbyshire reached their first one-day quarter-final since 2005 despite being deducted two points for a poor pitch last season and elite performance director Graeme Welch said: “We were two points down at the start so it’s a really, really good effort. We’ve played some good cricket and I’m just happy for the lads.”The players have stuck to their plans and as the tournament has gone on, the belief has started to form and there’s a good little unit here.”Gloucestershire, who confirmed captain Klinger suffered a broken left arm, are also in the last eight and allrounder Will Gidman said: “I don’t think we bowled that well, we didn’t have our best day although I think 270 was still a good effort but unfortunately we kept losing wickets.”We wanted to win this game for momentum and now it’s important that we put this result to one side and remember the good things we have done in this competition.”

ScorecardJacques Rudolph, seen here for his previous county Surrey, made a century to help put Glamorgan ahead•Getty Images

Jacques Rudolph claimed Glamorgan’s first century of the season to help put the Welsh county in a dominant position the second day against Kent at Cardiff.Rudolph, the South Africa batsman, whose 103 came in his 13th innings for the county, shared in a 181 run partnership with skipper Mark Wallace, who was promoted to No. 3 in the order.Despite losing three wickets for 26 runs after tea, Glamorgan, with useful contributions from Jim Allenby, 59 and an unbeaten 54 from Chris Cooke, finished the day with a first innings lead of 84. That was after Kent had been bowled out for 253 in the morning with Michael Hogan finishing with figures of 5 for 58.Kent resumed their first innings on 236 for 8 after a difficult opening day when the run rate rarely got above two-and-a-half runs an over. Mitchell Claydon and Adam Riley survived until the seventh over before Claydon presented Hogan with his fourth victim, caught by Ruaidhri Smith taking a fine catch running around at long-leg. That was just after Kent registered their second batting point.Hogan ended Kent’s innings by bowling Robbie Joseph for a duck – the Australian’s 25th wicket of the summer.In reply, Glamorgan’s biggest run-getter this season, Will Bragg, who was promoted to open the innings after a period batting at No. 3, lasted only 13 balls as he was caught behind unable to deal with a rising delivery from Joseph who was only in the side because Doug Bollinger has a shoulder injury.Despite the early setback batting conditions were much better for Glamorgan after a mostly overcast opening day. Claydon actually bowled Rudolph on 48 but it was from a no ball – the first of the contest. To add insult to injury the no ball brought up the Glamorgan 100.Rudolph brought up his half century from 100 balls with eight fours and the 100 partnership with three through midwicket and that was followed the next ball by Wallace’s 50, which he reached from 79 balls and four fours.The Glamorgan pair looked very settled on a placid pitch until Wallace perished to the third ball after tea caught behind off Riley attempting to cut. But Rudolph went on to complete his first century for Glamorgan from 165 balls with 16 fours out of 207 for 2.But two overs later, Joseph removed Rudolph caught behind from a bottom edge. It was the first of two wickets in two overs for no runs as Ben Wright was caught down the legside off Riley giving Billings his fourth catch.Having guided Glamorgan into the lead in the 66th over Allenby and Cooke went to their half-centuries. Allenby brought his from only 54 balls, including two sixes, while Cooke’s took 88 balls. The 100 partnership for the fourth wicket came up in only 21.1 overs. Kent took the second new ball three overs from stumps but to no avail.

Peter Siddle has been set the task of relocating the yard of speed he has lost over the course of a taxing 18 months, after he was dropped for the Newlands Test

Daniel Brettig in Cape Town01-Mar-2014

Peter Siddle has been set the task of relocating the yard of speed he has lost over the course of a taxing 18 months, after he was dropped from Australia’s side for the decisive third Test against South Africa at Newlands.An ever-present member of the Australian pace attack since his recall to the team in Sri Lanka in 2011, Siddle had played 31 Tests out of 34 since that time. He missed two matches in the West Indies through injury in 2012 and a third against South Africa in Perth later that year, after he was left fatigued and carrying a hamstring niggle due to his exertions in the second match of that series in Adelaide.Otherwise Siddle has been a highly reliable component of the bowling attack, repeatedly breaking partnerships and complementing the other fast men in the manner of Merv Hughes. However the treadmill of back-to-back Ashes series plus the tour of South Africa had begun to wear on Siddle’s pace.Australia’s coach Darren Lehmann said he had preferred James Pattinson as a third quick in Cape Town for precisely that reason. The decision leaves Siddle with some work ahead to regain his place for Australia’s next Test assignment against Pakistan in Dubai.”He’s fully fit, we just wanted the extra pace and James gives us that,” Lehmann said. “They’re producing wickets which don’t have much grass on them and take reverse, so we want the extra pace here and he’s a fresh bowler, which is great. He’s as keen as mustard.”Unlucky for Sids because he’s done a great job for us over the last few Tests but we’ve gone for the extra pace. He’d like some more wickets obviously but it’s the pace drop. We need him bowling 140kph and at the moment he’s averaging 131, 132. He knows that, we’ve spoken to him and I’m sure he will be back bigger and stronger.”Pattinson’s inclusion, for what is remarkably his first appearance in a first-class match since he was invalided out of the Lord’s Test match last year, was made more palatable by the return of Shane Watson as a fifth bowling option. He and Nathan Lyon can be expected to bowl tight supporting spells while Pattinson, Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris pursue a more aggressive plan of attack.This blueprint left no room for Shaun Marsh, who was left out despite a hundred in the first Test at Centurion. Lehmann said the selectors had followed the order of preference they had started the tour with, favouring Alex Doolan as the No. 3 batsman.”We love to have five bowlers. Shane’s pulled up well, he’s good to go so it’s nice to have the allrounder back, which gives us another option,” Lehmann said. “It’s always tough. We had to make a choice and that’s the difficult job as selectors. We have to get 20 wickets to start with and obviously make a lot of runs.”Shaun is very unlucky. At the start of the tour we were probably going to shape up as we have today.”

Not only does Australia’s bowling coach Craig McDermott expect Ryan Harris to be fit for the final Ashes Test as part of an attack unchanged all series, he is equally adamant a rich next generation of pace bowlers must be raised with the expectation to do the same.Despite valid concerns about Harris’s creaking joints, there is a strong sense of pride among Australia’s Ashes winning team about going through the five Tests without requiring extra assistance.To lose one or two players from the final hurdle to a 5-0 sweep of England is not a possibility anyone wishes to countenance, even as a nod to the demanding South Africa tour that follows in February.Looking further into the future, McDermott wants the likes of James Pattinson, Mitchell Starc, Jackson Bird, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins to be schooled in the art of playing through pain. As Brett Lee once pointed out, bowling is seldom painless, and it takes some years of experience to differentiate between “good” pain and “bad”.Though he developed a somewhat unkind reputation for missing matches due to outlandish injuries in his own career, McDermott still pushed through no fewer than five series of five Tests or more over the course of 71 matches, also playing every Test of the Australian summer on six occasions. His view of preventative resting is dim.”It has been around a long time where players can actually play five Test matches in a row. That’s not a new thing,” McDermott said. “We have to work hard with our younger bowlers to make sure they can play full series as well when they get the chance. That’s something we need to be mindful of with our younger bowlers. I’m looking forward to the same three guys playing all three Tests in South Africa once this one’s done.”Sidds has done it before so it hasn’t been a problem for him through New Zealand and India series. Mitchell is as strong as an ox. Ryano was probably the only person who we had to try to manage. The medical staff have done a great job with managing Ryano, and Lyano is going to get through isn’t he?”It has been great to have all four bowlers involved and bowling in great partnerships, just like our batters. Sometimes Mitchell has got a lot of wickets but the other guys have created the pressure at the other end and picked up vital wickets.”The Australian selectors are open to the possibility of making up to three changes to the Melbourne team, with Alex Doolan, James Faulkner and Nathan Coulter-Nile all waiting in the wings. But McDermott was unperturbed by Harris’s chronic knee trouble nor Shane Watson’s groin strain, feeling both had pulled up well enough from the MCG match to carry on.”There’s a number of scenarios we can talk about,” McDermott said. “My first and foremost scenario is to have those three guys ready to go. I think Watto will be fine because his running between the wickets yesterday suggests so, he bowled in our second innings and although he wasn’t super quick, nor was Tim Bresnan.”I’m more concerned about our guys obviously, but I don’t think there’s going to be any dramas with Watto coming up whatsoever. Ryano’s a bit sore I suppose. But I don’t think anybody’s played too many Test matches as a fast bowler without pulling up sore at some stage. I’m confident they’ll all be involved in the next Test match.”
