Boundary-laden series set for feisty finale on one of the best batting surfaces in the Caribbean
The Preview by Andrew Miller01-Mar-2019
Jos Buttler leaves the field after his 150 from 77 balls•Getty Images
Big pictureIt worked out all right in the end for Grenada’s cricket faithful, as their first taste of international action for four years was reduced from a two-match festival of cricket to one single afternoon of six-smoking carnage.After Monday’s rain had given way to Wednesday’s clear skies, it was as though the England and West Indies batsmen had been unleashed from the dressing room via slingshots. Both teams tore into the bowling with a world-record 46 sixes in 98 overs of action – 24 for England, 22 for West Indies; 14 for Chris Gayle, 12 for Jos Buttler, whose innings of 150 from 77 balls was one of the most staggering onslaughts ever witnessed on the world stage.And the upshot is a series which England now have within their grasp. They lead 2-1 with just the decider in St Lucia to come, and while everything between now and the end of May pales compared to the challenge that awaits at this summer’s World Cup, there are bragging rights aplenty available in this final contest.England, for starters, would really rather like a piece of silverware to take home from the Caribbean, given how quickly their hopes in the Test series were detonated by Jason Holder and his cohorts. But there’s also that thorny question of “momentum” – a nebulous concept at the best of times, and one that most teams are happy to play up or down, as it suits them.But nevertheless, with India breathing down England’s necks ahead of their own ODI series against Australia, a West Indies win could open the door for a new No.1 team to be anointed going into the World Cup. Perhaps that might reduce some of the home-team pressure on Eoin Morgan’s men, but to judge by their approach throughout their renaissance run of form since 2015, they are dead-set on hitting the front and staying there in every contest they play.All things being equal, England start as favourites – as well they might, given the run of form they’ve been on in the 50-over format in recent years – but this contest will surely be decided, as with each of the other three so far, by the team that holds its nerve for longest in what looks likely to be another daunting run-chase.England did remarkably well to chase 361 in the opening match in Barbados, eventually easing to their target with eight balls and five wickets to spare. But two days later, they tumbled off the tightrope in dramatic fashion, losing their last six wickets for 35 runs in pursuit of 290.West Indies fell away even more quickly in Grenada, losing their last four wickets in five deliveries from Adil Rashid, but by that stage they had 389 on the board, more than any team in history to have been bowled out inside their 50 overs. Which just goes to show, none of these games is over until it is over. And even the beleaguered bowlers on both teams can produce match-turning moments in the blink of an eye. But don’t blink too often … when 46 sixes are raining into the stands, it’s not wise to take your eyes off the action for a second.Form guideWest Indies: LWLLW (Last five completed matches, most recent first) England: WLWLWIn the spotlightHe’s been a revelation in England’s one-day side for the past couple of seasons, and – assuming his dodgy knees don’t creak unnecessarily between now and May – he’ll be one of the first names on the team-sheet for England’s World Cup opener at The Oval against South Africa. But Chris Woakes found little respite in Wednesday’s brutal engagement. His ten overs were dispatched for 91, the joint fourth-most expensive in England’s ODI history, and though a swingless venue with short boundaries was never likely to be his favourite hunting ground, his inability to find a go-to line and length as the big hits continued to rain down was a concern. He’ll be looking for a big response in St Lucia, for his own peace of mind, if nothing else.It takes a special type of player to be caught second-ball for six – and that is exactly what Shimron Hetmyer remains, despite his hot-headed cameo in Grenada that some observers believe was the turning point of West Indies’ spirited pursuit of England’s 418 for 6. Who knows what might have happened with a modicum of discretion against the extra pace of Mark Wood – the only bowler who was truly able to transcend the conditions in the 4th ODI. But then again, Hetmyer has done just fine in his young and explosive career by trusting his instincts, his technique and his immense power. His century in the second match in Barbados has kept his team in the hunt in this series, and while he may have been momentarily chastened in his latest outing, don’t expect him to change his ways too drastically.Team newsWill Andre Russell play, or won’t he? There was some surprise at the toss in Grenada when Jason Holder announced he would be missing out – ostensibly to give him more time to recover from his long flight from the UAE, where he had been playing for Multan Sultans in the PSL. There was an apparent indication that his long-anticipated return would come in this final game. But, just to complicate matters further, the man whom he is mostly likely to replace – Carlos Brathwaite – stepped up in his team’s hour of need with his maiden ODI fifty, a key contribution to a seventh-wicket stand of 88 with Ashley Nurse that took the chase into the final three overs. It’s still hard to see who else could make way, however, assuming that testing Russell’s fitness over 50 overs is a priority before the World Cup squads are finalised next month.West Indies: (probable) 1 Chris Gayle, 2 John Campbell, 3 Shai Hope (wk), 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Jason Holder (capt), 7 Andre Russell, 8 Ashley Nurse, 9 Devendra Bishoo, 10 Sheldon Cottrell, 11 Oshane ThomasWoe betide the batsman who gives his rival a sniff of an opportunity in England’s power-packed line-up. Jason Roy’s hamstring strain allowed Alex Hales to come romping off the bench in Grenada with an agenda-setting 82 from 73 balls – and with Jonny Bairstow also chipping in with a brisk half-century, the pair did a pretty seamless job in closing ranks for their side at the top of the order. Roy, to be fair, does have a 65-ball hundred to his credit in this series already, but he’s unlikely to be risked so soon after his niggle. The only other issue to ponder is a rejig in England’s bowling ranks to reflect the ease of West Indies’ run-making in the series so far. Tom Curran’s cunning is the obvious addition, but Woakes is likely to be trusted to recover from Wednesday’s thumping.England: (probable) 1 Alex Hales, 2 Jonny Bairstow, 3 Joe Root, 4 Eoin Morgan (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Jos Buttler (wk), 7 Moeen Ali, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Liam Plunkett, 10 Adil Rashid, 11 Mark WoodPitch and conditionsSome scattered showers are expected on Friday, but the weather for the match itself is set fair. The pitch has a reputation as the best in the Caribbean, so batten down the hatches. Funnily enough, there have been just three scores in excess of 300 in the ground’s ODI history – and the two highest, 363 for 5 and 331 for 7 were both scored by New Zealand, in the space of three days, against Canada and Kenya in the 2007 World Cup. The highest total involving full-member nations is Pakistan’s 303 for 6 way back in 2005. Expect that to change, given the free-scoring carnage we’ve seen so far in this series.Stats and Trivia Victory in St Lucia would seal England’s tenth consecutive victory in an ODI series of two or more matches, dating back to their 2-1 defeat in India in January 2017. It’s not a complete record, however, as the above list omits two rather notable setbacks along the way – England’s one-off defeat by Scotland in Edinburgh last summer, and their failure to win the Champions Trophy on home soil in June 2017. Pakistan sealed the spoils after knocking them out in the semi-final in Cardiff. West Indies have had a sketchy recent record at the Darren Sammy Ground in St Lucia. After winning four of their first five ODIs at the venue from 2002 to 2004, they’ve won just three of their last 20 completed fixtures. They did, however, emerge triumphant from their most recent visit, beating Afghanistan by four wickets in June 2017. Having gone past 5000 runs earlier in the series, Joe Root needs just four more to overtake Paul Collingwood’s tally of 5092, and move into third place on England’s all-time ODI runs list, behind Ian Bell (5416), and Eoin Morgan (6051). Morgan, in fact, went past 6000 runs for England during his century in Grenada, but has a further 744 runs to his name from his Ireland days.Quotes”I’ve probably never seen anyone hit sixes as easy as he can. He’s a legend of the game.” Jos Buttler pays tribute to Chris Gayle after his incredible innings of 162 in Grenada.”Buttler is superb. You can’t take away the fact that he’s one of the best strikers in the world today … but he’s not close to the Universe Boss though!” Gayle returns the compliment … sort of … after Buttler’s own innings of 150 from 77 balls.
Newcastle United are interested in completing the signing of an absolute "game-changer", having sent scouts to watch him in action for his current club.
Newcastle transfer news
There is a chance that January could be a busy month at St James' Park, though they will have to be careful to operate within the realms of Financial Fair Play. Kalvin Phillips is the player who has arguably been linked with a move to Newcastle more than anyone else in recent weeks, with a loan switch making sense for the player, his current club Manchester City and the Magpies.
Meanwhile, in defence, highly-rated Sporting CP centre-back Goncalo Inacio has emerged as an exciting option for Eddie Howe, while Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi is also a reported target.
Serhou Guirassy is reportedly wanted to bolster Newcastle's attack, too, following a breakthrough season that has seen him soar for VfB Stuttgart, but another attacking gem is also being tipped to make a move to St James'.
Newcastle tracking Viktor Gyokeres
According to an update from HITC, Newcastle and owners PIF are interested in signing Sporting CP striker Viktor Gyokeres, having sent representatives to watch him play for the Portuguese giants. He has a £42m release clause in his deal, so the Magpies know how much is needed to snap him up.
Sporting CP strikerViktor Gyokeres.
"Both Liverpool and Newcastle United were present at Sporting Lisbon’s dominant 5-1 win over Estoril over the weekend with both having separate priorities," the report says, before continuing to state that while the Reds were there to see Inacio, the Magpies are eyeing Gyokeres.
The Sweden international is such an impressive striker, having left Coventry City for Sporting last summer, following a stunning season that saw him score 21 goals in the Championship. He has taken that form with him to Europe, netting 11 times in 15 Primeira Liga outings in 2023/24 to date, as well as scoring three goals in five Europa League matches.
With Callum Wilson not getting any younger and Alexander Isak suffering an injury-plagued Newcastle career to date, the Swede could be a fantastic signing, and the fact that he already knows English football well would be an added bonus. He has been described as a "game-changer" by Statman Dave, while Tony Mowbray has even compared him to Erling Haaland, saying:
“I don’t want to say he should test himself in the Premier League but who is like him in the Premier League at the moment? Who is too fast, too strong and too big, you would suggest Haaland is like that and Gyokeres in this league looks a yard faster and stronger than the players he plays against in the Championship."
Newcastle now offered chance to sign £350k-a-week 81-cap international
He could be available on the cheap this month.
ByHenry Jackson Jan 9, 2024
At 25 years of age, Gyokeres is still a relatively young player whose peak years could arrive in the near future, and he could end up being a prolific figure for Newcastle for a long time, providing competition for Isak and even acting as a potential striker partner for him.
O Internacional deixou o Beira-Rio com um gosto amargo na boca. Diante do São Luiz, o Colorado levou um gol no último minuto e acabou derrotado por 2 a 1.
Autor do único gol Colorado, Yuri Alberto lamentou o revés dentro de casa, mas comemorou o feito individual.
‘Ia ser muito importante a vitória. O time mereceu. Infelizmente tomamos o gol no último lance. Mas feliz com voltar a marcar, com professor novo. Vamos começar tudo do zero. Peguei muitos treinadores. Essa é mais uma experiência para mim. Estou muito feliz’, afirmou ao Premiere.
Agora, o Internacional volta a campo no próximo fim de semana, quando encara o Ypiranga-RS, em casa.

Leeds United have started 2024 showing they mean business, picking up maximum points in the Championship with two wins from two – alongside clinching a routine FA Cup victory – without leaking a single goal.
This defensive solidity has been achieved despite full-back Djed Spence exiting the promotion-chasing Whites unexpectedly after a brief loan spell, on top of Leeds icon and dependable right-back Luke Ayling severing ties with the club to join Middlesbrough.
Even with Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu stepping up for Daniel Farke's men with top-drawer displays at the heart of defence recently, the German boss will still be eager to bolster Leeds in the full-back areas and could even look to secure another Welshman in his back four with this signing.
Leeds continue to look for a left-back
The rumour mill in West Yorkshire keeps pointing in the direction of Leeds wanting to sign a new left-back, with numbers threadbare in that specific spot.
Phil Hay, whilst writing for the Athletic on Wednesday, confirmed a number of targets Farke and Co are going after to add depth to the left-back spot which included a potential loan move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies.
Hay stated: "They also have a speculative eye on Ben Davies if changes to the squad at Tottenham Hotspur before deadline day make him a potential loan target."
However, he then continued with a rather more damning line: "It feels incredibly unlikely that Spurs would sanction such a move."
The 30-year-old represents an ideal transfer to go after with his connection to fellow countrymen Rodon and Ampadu making his transition to Championship football potentially seamless.

Moreover, despite being 30 years of age now, the Spurs number 33 will have many pearls of wisdom to hand over to the Leeds squad in their pursuit of an immediate return to the Premier League.
How Ben Davies compares to Firpo and Spence
Davies' telepathy with Rodon isn't just down to a national team synergy, with Davies and the current Leeds star man both playing together on occasion with Spurs.
Knowing each other's game well means Farke can rely on Davies to come in, with the 30-year-old also offering Leeds some needed experience and nous to aid teenage sensation Archie Gray on the opposing flank.
Davies hasn't necessarily shown his age with Spurs this season either, making 16 appearances this season under Ange Postecoglou as a useful utility figure.
Although he might not be at his best anymore in the top-flight, which has led to pundits such as Gabby Agbonlahor calling for Davies to be sold on when speaking to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa striker did praise the longevity of which Davies has been around at Spurs for – "He’s been fantastic for them, but that doesn’t mean he can keep playing when his form isn’t good enough."
Yet, relocating to Elland Road would see Davies become integral again as a short-term first-team option with his numbers over the last year for Spurs trumping a resurgent Junior Firpo who is Farke's current choice at left-back and further a departing Spence.
Tottenham's Ben Davies
Looking at FBRef, Davies betters Firpo in a number of the more offensive statistics despite the 27-year-old picking up three assists in his last three second-tier matches – Davies coming in at 4.02 progressive passes and 2.17 progressive passes received on average over the last year per 90 minutes, Firpo falling flat just with 3.67 progressive passes and 2.16 progressive passes received.
Moreover, despite Spence being seven years younger than the Spurs number 33, Davies betters the former Nottingham Forest man when it comes to basic defensive duties with the Welshman averaging 3.07 aerials won to Spence's lacklustre 0.92.
eric-dier-ben-davies-tottenham-opinion
This knack of rolling his sleeves up and delivering gritty displays at the back could also see Farke use Davies as a makeshift centre-back if needed, a loan signing that would improve Leeds significantly in defence not just down the channels.
Farke will be scrambling to get any left-back he can in through the door at Elland Road this January, with the Spurs full-back presumably high up on his Leeds shopping list.
Luke Wright’s freewheeling 166 from 142 balls helped Sussex hand out a 122-run thrashing and secure their third win from four
Alan Gardner at Lord's27-Apr-2019
Luke Wright stretches out to drive•Getty Images
There may have been some grumbling among Sussex supporters when Luke Wright announced his retirement from red-ball cricket a few weeks ago. The team had just been beaten at home by Leicestershire in their Championship opener, with only one member of the top six passing 50, and it was easy to question the decision to give Wright – a batsman with a first-class average nearing 40 – a white ball-only contract.Sussex won their next game, away at Durham, to get their season up and running, and there were one or two pointed rejoinders from players and staff among the celebratory tweets. Now, at the midway point of their Royal London Cup campaign, they have picked up three wins from four, with Wright making a resounding statement of his own by recording a List A career-best as Middlesex were roundly thrashed at Lord’s.Never mind Storm Hannah, in the St John’s Wood area you had to look out for Whirlwind Wright. Having missed Sussex’s last match, a rain-affected defeat against Somerset, with illness, Wright returned to open the batting and was at the crease for all but 3.3 overs of an innings truncated slightly by morning rain, kicking up through the gears to bludgeon 81 from his last 26 balls as Middlesex’s bowling fell apart after a strong start. His final tally of 166 was a record for Sussex in the format.This was a masterclass from a player that England never quite got the most out of but who remains a rambunctious force in the county game. For more than three-quarters of his innings – Wright’s longest in the format by a distance – he played within himself, punching the odd boundary and focusing on keeping the Sussex effort together as they fell to 102 for 5 on a soft, green seamer beneath heavy cloud cover. He then played second fiddle to Sussex’s captain, Ben Brown, who scored 48 out of 81 during the first half of their 174-run association.Then, as if someone had mentioned his trigger word, he decided it was time to start hitting the fairways. Toby Roland-Jones was deposited twice down the ground and once into the Grandstand for 6-4-6 as Wright went from 85 off 116 to a century in the space of three balls; Tom Helm was manhandled with even greater distain in the 43rd over, Wright hammering three more sixes as 28 runs were added to the scoreboard. Dawid Malan’s occasional legspin disappeared for 22 in the next and Wright had cleared the ropes nine times in all by the time he launched Helm to the man on the deep midwicket rope.The closest Wright came to falling before then was when Tim Murtagh, who returned an old-school 10-1-24-3 in amongst the carnage, twice beat the bat in the same over only to see the ball marginally miss the stumps on both occasions.Brown only managed to add seven runs to his own total during Wright’s blitzkrieg, but nevertheless played a sterling hand in shepherding Sussex to an above-par score. Brown had spent part of the winter training with Wright in South Africa and working on his limited-overs game and their partnership took Sussex from a sticky position to one of increasing dominance, Nathan Sowter the only bowler aside from Murtagh to achieve respectability with figures of 4 for 48.Having inserted their opponents on a seasick-green strip, it was Middlesex who lost their stomach. Facing an asking rate slightly above a run a ball, they lost wickets at regular intervals, with a 42-run stand between Dawid Malan and Stevie Eskinazi the highest of the innings. Eskinazi made a dapper 42 from 40 before having his off stump pinged by a wicked delivery from George Garton, but it was Danny Briggs’ arm ball to defeat New Zealand’s Ross Taylor, probably the man best equipped to keep Middlesex in touch, for 5 that felt like the decisive dismissal.Sussex duly moved up to third in the South Group, above their beaten opponents (who suffered a big hit on net run rate), with three winnable fixtures against teams below them to come. The kids may be all right but Sussex’s display was (mostly) all Wright. If he can help them get back to Lord’s on May 25 for the Royal London final, there ought not to be too many complaints among the members.

When Granit Xhaka left Arsenal in the summer of 2023, Mikel Arteta and Edu knew they needed to go to great lengths to replace his extraordinary output last season.
A £105m move for Declan Rice was signed, sealed and delivered while Kai Havertz, certainly to less fanfare, arrived from another part of London in Chelsea.
The £65m addition hasn't quite made the grade after moving to the north of the capital, with it taking until November for the German to finally score a goal in Arsenal colours from open play.
Perhaps realising the error of their ways, the Gunners have been looking at signing another midfielder according to reports.
Arsenal's midfield shortlist
Two names on the club's shortlist for 2024 reside in the Premier League with Amadou Onana, touted at £60m, interesting Arsenal, while Joao Palhinha of Fulham is another to be tipped with a move to join the ranks at the Emirates Stadium.
Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha.
A wildcard option could well be that of Joao Neves, Benfica's next hot property in the middle of the park after Enzo Fernandez.
The teenage sensation has been strongly linked with Manchester United in recent months but Arsenal are another casting their eyes towards Neves. Reports in the build-up to the January window suggested that the Gunners were tracking the 19-year-old but with a release clause of £103m and no intention of selling, any move is incredibly unlikely, at least for now.

Yet, if the Kroenke's were to dip their hands into their pockets again for another mega midfield signing, Neves would offer some extreme quality to Arteta's side. Does anyone fancy another round of Santi Cazorla?
How Joao Neves compares to Santi Cazorla
Who is Neves we hear you ask? Well, a quick look at his FBref scouting profile indicates what a fine young individual this budding teen is.
Compared to positionally similar players across Europe's top five leagues and the top continental competitions, he ranks among the best 11% for passes into the final third (via FBref), indicating his progressive nature in possession of the ball.
Benfica midfielder Joao Neves.
Further sitting inside the top 17% for passes attempted, it's clear Neves is a player who offers plenty of protection and composure on the ball. However, he's more than just about passing play. Neves happens to be adept in the defensive and offensive phases of play.
Indeed, the Benfica starlet is in the top 1% of midfielders in Europe for goal-creating actions per 90 minutes, the best 1% for tackles won (3.95) and the finest 13% for interceptions (1.58 per 90). To put that into context, Rice makes 2.01 tackles per 90 and 1.73 interceptions.
Can you imagine the thought of the two playing together, therefore? Yeah, it's a dreamy picture to envisage. The progressive and classy nature of the two is a tantalising prospect.
Already we're getting a sense of why Neves is similar to Cazorla though. He's intricate with his passing play, progressive and capable of doing his fair share of the dirty work. The comparison is supplemented by analyst Ben Mattinson.
Cazorla was one of the most gifted players in the Emirates Stadium era and is remembered particularly fondly by those of an Arsenal persuasion. He played a key hand in ending the club's trophy drought in 2014, scoring a scorching free-kick in the FA Cup final versus Hull City but overall, he was just marvellously gifted at football.
The Spaniard left in 2018 after a period of sustained injury hell that nearly ended his career but he did so with a mighty fine record in Arsenal colours, scoring 29 goals and supplying 45 assists in 180 outings.
With such a creative marvel in mind, let's dive a little deeper into how he compares to Neves.

Despite there being some differences in the volume of each stat, you can see how their playstyles are alike. Both registered a high number of progressive passes and shot-creating actions, showcasing a preference for getting on the ball and creating openings for teammates.
Cazorla was one of the finest in the Premier League era at such a quality and thus, signing Neves would be truly exciting for supporters. With such a huge asking price, however, we might never see him in Arsenal colours.
