Mumbai Indians offspinner Harbhajan Singh said the over in which he took three wickets was the best spell he had bowled in recent months

ESPNcricinfo staff06-Oct-2013Mumbai Indians offspinner Harbhajan Singh, whose figures of 4 for 32 won him the Man-of-the-Match award and helped Mumbai claim their second Champions League title, said the over in which he took three wickets was the best spell he had bowled in recent months.Harbhajan came into the tournament with little practice, having not played a competitive match since the IPL. He was not included in any of India A’s recent squads. In a high-scoring final against Rajasthan Royals in Delhi, Harbhajan came on to bowl his final over with Royals requiring 48 off the last four overs with seven wickets in hand. Harbhajan struck with the first ball, removing the set Ajinkya Rahane for 65, caught at deep midwicket. Three balls later, with the pressure mounting on Royals for boundaries, Stuart Binny looked to slog a quicker one from Harbhajan and lost his leg stump.After conceding a boundary the following ball to Kevon Cooper, Harbhajan hit back off the final ball, beating Cooper who looked to play across the line but failed to spot the straighter one. Cooper didn’t to drag his back foot behind the line and Dinesh Karthik completed a sharp stumping. Three wickets went down for just four runs in the space of six balls and the match had turned firmly in Mumbai’s favour.”I’m happy with the way I finished, although I didn’t practice at all,” Harbhajan said at the post-match presentation. “I was travelling to the US but I didn’t practice much before this but I’m really happy with the way I have finished this tournament. I think that over where I took three wickets was probably the best over I’ve bowled in the last three months.”Chasing 203, the Royals were in the hunt via a second-wicket stand of 109 between Sanju Samson and Rahane, who both scored 60s. Royals captain Rahul Dravid too felt that Harbhajan’s spell had turned the match.”We saw some really great batting and we saw some good skills with the ball as well, from the spinners and it was a close game right till the end,” Dravid said. “I thought the couple of overs when Harbhajan Singh got four wickets for eight or nine runs probably turned the game on its head.”Incidentally, Harbhajan had starred in Mumbai’s previous title win in 2011 as well, his 3 for 20 winning him the Man-of-the-Match award against Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chennai.”This is probably the second time and I am getting the Man of the Match in the final,” he said. “Hopefully few more. I’m looking forward to the Duleep Trophy and the long season up ahead for India.”

Only 33 deliveries were possible before rain forced an abandonment of the first ODI between England and South Africa in Cardiff. The result means that England, who were presented with what looked remarkably like a hub-cap but was actually the ICC’s ODI Shield before play, retain the newly acquired No. 1 ranking in this format for a little while yet.Had South Africa won, they would have usurped England as the No. 1-ranked ODI side just as they usurped them as No. 1-ranked Test team with victory at Lord’s just five days ago.The weather flirted with spectators for much of the day and, as the covers were taken on and off with each passing shower, there was little to entertain the crowd other than 50 shades of grey sky. When play eventually began, the game was reduced to 24 overs a side, with another over deducted after a further interruption after just one delivery.England, who selected Chris Woakes for his first home ODI in place of the rested Stuart Broad, and retained faith in Ravi Bopara, despite his recent absence from the game for personal reasons ahead of the in-form Jonny Bairstow, were inserted when South Africa captain AB de Villiers won the toss at 9.45am. South Africa recalled left-arm fast bowler Wayne Parnell in place of the rested Dale Steyn.The first passage of play last only one delivery – a leg side wide – before rain forced the players from the pitch and, on the resumption, batting proved hard work. Alastair Cook might have been run-out before he scored had Parnell, at mid-off, hit the stumps with his direct hit and, after three power-play overs, England had scored only four runs.The next two overs cost 28, however, as Ian Bell, in particular, launched an attack that hinted he may yet have something to offer as a Twenty20 player. Cook signalled the acceleration by cover driving Lonwabo Tsotsobe for four before, later in the same over, Bell skipped down the pitch and lofted another four over mid-off.It was a tactic Bell was to employ even more impressively in the next over. Skipping down the pitch to Morne Morkel, Bell was able to turn perfectly reasonable back of the length deliveries into length deliveries and, having heaved one six over midwicket, drove another over long-off.But then, with 33 runs having come from 15 deliveries, the rain returned and, with time running out to fit in the minimum 20-overs a side to constitute a game, the umpires too the inevitable decision to abandon the game. Spectators will receive a full refund minus a handling fee.The second match in the five match series will take place in Southampton on Tuesday.

Marcus Trescothick led Somerset’s fightback after Alex Hales helped Nottinghamshire to a 106-run lead on first innings

Stuart Broad came back from a poor first spell to claim Marcus Trescothick’s wicket•Getty Images

Say what you like about Stuart Broad, but rarely does he bowl a spell in which nothing happens. This was a day on which Alex Hales extended his second-day century to a magnificent 184 and Andre Adams won a hugely entertaining duel with combustible fast bowler Steve Kirby with by swelling his tally of sixes to the season to 27 as Nottinghamshire carved out an unlikely 106-run lead.But Broad somehow made himself the talking point by bowling two spells of such contrast that he could have been Steve Harmison wearing a blond wig. The first was absolutely dreadful, with both line and length all over the place. From 24 balls bowled, he conceded 30 runs, the bulk of them to a properly grateful Marcus Trescothick, who helped himself to four boundaries from the first two overs, all pinged away effortlessly backward of square on the off-side. Chris Read, who had supportively talked up Broad’s bowling at stumps on Tuesday, sent his man into the outfield to reflect.As Broad contemplated the elusiveness of his form, Trescothick went about his business in his customary, imperious style and Nottinghamshire’s lead began to vanish at an alarming rate. Trescothick reached 50 for the ninth time this season, having turned four of the previous eight into hundreds. Read took a brilliant leg-side catch to dismiss Arul Suppiah, fending off a lifting ball from Andre Adams that swung into his body, but otherwise Notts seemed powerless to halt the traffic in runs.The lead was all but wiped out when Broad came back after tea. Disgruntled Nottinghamshire fans contemplated more carnage. Yet what happened? Quite the opposite – eight overs bowled, this time with pace, bounce and, crucially, full control of length and direction. And, for more than good measure, the wicket that mattered, too – of Trescothick on 86 – from a ball that climbed unplayably and unavoidably on the former England opener, brushing glove or bat handle on its way into Read’s reliable grasp. This was brilliant bowling and how Broad celebrated, having stepped into the spotlight again when really it belonged to others, most notably Hales.Although the pitch looked much less green than it had at the start of the match, batting on the third morning had been scarcely more comfortable than the first two, amply illustrated when Alex Hales, 130 overnight, took 45 minutes to add the seven runs he needed to pass his previous highest score, the 136 he made against Hampshire here last season.Nonetheless, 117 were added in the morning session. Chris Read, a batsman seldom willingly pinned down, pulled Adam Dibble for six over mid-wicket before a full, straight ball from Peter Trego trapped him in the crease, denying him a half-century in a stand of 106 with Hales. Read’s departure merely ushered in Paul Franks, who has few peers among specialist number eights, as he demonstrated in a 32-ball 28 before a tickle to Craig Kieswetter off Murali Kartik stopped him in his tracks.It was all hugely frustrating to Steve Kirby and Charl Willoughby, who had bowled well with the second new ball without an ounce of luck. Kirby, not for the first time, donned his pantomime villain’s demeanour after lunch. The crowd here enjoy a bit of banter and played their part only too willingly as Kirby stomped and scowled, guffawing loudly at his spurious appeal for a catch when Hales played a ball to cover that so plainly did not not carry than even James Hildreth, the fielder, showed no interest.Had he been Dominic Cork, the next few minutes would have been spiced by several return volleys, but the interaction instead seemed to tickle Kirby’s sense of humour. Shortly afterwards, bowling to Andre Adams, he gripped the ball as if he were about to propel it like a javelin, shaking it in his right hand as he ran in, and could only laugh at himself as the umpires ticked him off.As it happens, though, it was Adams who had the last laugh, hooking the next ball for six, with a couple more maximums in Kirby’s next over, which went for 21. Adams, whose batting methodology rarely offers any surprises, has hit 27 sixes in the Championship this season, representing 41.2 per cent of his total runs scored. The next highest tally is Graham Napier’s 16.Meanwhile, Willoughby earned some belated reward after Broad had chipped in a cameo 21, dismissing the England bowler when Kieswetter, atoning for a missed stumping when Hales was on 180, produced an astonishing piece of levitation and a stunning catch.Hales, whose century had been only his second, must have had visions of making it a double but as Willoughby conjured up another delivery that lifted and moved away off a pitch still offering good bounce and carry, Hales nibbled and was caught behind. The left-armer claimed his third success, placing eight fielders on the boundary for Adams, who had hit 33 off 14 balls, only to surprise him with a leg-stump Yorker.Trescothick’s departure raised expectations for Nottinghamshire but in truth the requirement was to have Somerset four or five down before the lead was overturned and the script has not gone to plan.Nick Compton is unbeaten on 46, having survived a couple more overs from Broad at the close, and Somerset are 91 in front, making a draw the likeliest outcome.

Zimbabwe tightened their grip on the match after their bowlers rolled over Netherlands for 186 on the second day in Amstelveen. Opener Stuart Matsikenyeri then made an unbeaten 44 to extend Zimbabwe’s lead close to 200 by stumps.Netherlands could have been in an even worse position had it not been for wicketkeeper Wesley Barresi’s patient 81. He rescued the home side from a precarious 94 for 8 with the help of No. 10 Pieter Seelaar, who finished on an unbeaten 40. The pair added 91 for the ninth wicket, with both going on to their highest first-class scores.Besides Barresi, the only batsman in the top nine to reach double digits was Ruud Nijman (23). The wickets were shared around by the Zimbabwean bowlers, with Matsai Mushangwe taking three and the trio of Ed Rainsford, Timycen Maruma and Nathan Waller picking two each.In the second innings, Zimbabwe slumped to 48 for 2, before Matsikenyeri and captain Vusi Sibanda safely negotiated the final eight overs to keep the visitors in charge of the match.

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to list an injunction filed by Cricket Association of Bihar, which sought to prevent N Srinivasan from being the BCCI nominee for the position of the ICC chairman

‘Supreme Court does not have authority over ICC’

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to list an injunction filed by Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB), which had sought to prevent N Srinivasan from being the BCCI nominee for the position of the ICC chairman. Srinivasan, who had been replaced as BCCI president following the court orders over the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, is likely to take over as the ICC’s first chairman during the ruling body’s annual conference, which will be held in Melbourne between June 23-27.The CAB had filed the application on Tuesday seeking a hearing in the vacation court on June 16. However, the two-judge bench of Justice JS Khehar and Justice C Nagappan observed that the interim order passed in April was “very clear”. In April, the court had refused Srinivasan’s request to be reinstated as BCCI president, but the two-judge bench of Justice AK Patnaik and Ibrahim Kalifullah would not hear the CAB’s plea on barring Srinivasan from continuing to represent the BCCI at ICC meetings.With the regular court in recess until June 30, any application filed in front the vacation bench needs the permission of the judge to be listed for a hearing. “Our only request today was to hear the case on Monday. The case was not argued at all today,” Nalini Chidambaram, one of the senior legal counsels for CAB, said.Aditya Verma, on behalf of the CAB, has been appealing to prevent N Srinivasan from taking over as ICC chairman•The Indian ExpressChidambaram stressed that it would be wrong to interpret the court’s decision today as if it had given a nod to Srinivasan’s representation at the ICC.”The judges just said the previous order passed by the court on April 29 was very clear. So we are going to again approach the court on June 16 seeking a fresh hearing in the matter. It is very important matter and hence we wanted the court to hear us and then decide, ” she said.Srinivasan has represented India at ICC meetings since September 2013 and was also present at the Executive Board meeting in Dubai in April. The CAB, meanwhile, has sought to prevent Srinivasan from taking charge at the ICC, citing the court’s decision to keep Srinivasan out of the BCCI set-up until the investigation into charges of corruption in the IPL are complete.Desh Gaurav Sekhri, a lawyer specialising in sports litigation said, that in refusing to list the injunction, the court could have taken note of the fact that it may have little jurisdiction over the actions of a global body like the ICC, unlike the BCCI which directly impacts India.”It’s a question of subject matter and locational jurisdiction,” Sekhri said. “When it comes to the BCCI, we have a clear question of the court having both subject matters as well as a locational jurisdiction where it’s a question of domestic cricket and the governance/administration of it.”When it comes to the ICC, the Supreme Court of India doesn’t really have any subject matter jurisdiction over the matters of the ICC. It’s an international cricket governing body and the actual relevance of an Indian being a part of the administration…it’s a global kind of a role and if anything, it is after Mr Srinivasan has already finished his tenure or his suspended tenure at the BCCI.”Technically they are not two peas in the pod. What we have is a situation where either an Indian is being nominated by the BCCI or the ICC feels that it’s a candidate who it feels will be a very good president or chairman of the ICC. So I don’t think the Supreme Court will entertain any such pleas or litigations.”The case dates back to June 2013, when Verma raised charges of a conflict of interest in the BCCI’s original two-member inquiry panel for the IPL corruption issue. A Bombay High Court ruling later termed the probe panel “illegal”. The BCCI and the CAB filed petitions in the Supreme Court against this order, with the CAB contending that the Bombay High Court could have suggested a fresh mechanism to look into the corruption allegations.The Supreme Court then appointed a three-member committee, headed by former High Court judge Mukul Mudgal and comprising additional solicitor general L Nageswara Rao and Nilay Dutta to conduct an independent inquiry into the allegations of corruption against Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, India Cements, and Rajasthan Royals team owner Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Ltd, as well as with the larger mandate of allegations around betting and spot-fixing in IPL matches and the involvement of players.

A Champions League é inegavelmente a maior competição de clubes do mundo. O sonho de consumo de dez entre dez jogadores de futebol – e milhões de torcedores. Poucos, no entanto, a conquistam durante suas carreiras. No atual Campeonato Brasileiro, por exemplo, dos 455 atletas que já entraram em campo, apenas dois se sagraram campeões da Europa. O terceiro deve pintar em breve, no Flamengo: o lateral-direito Rafinha.

Campeão com o Bayern de Munique, da Alemanha, na temporada 2012/2013, o experiente jogador de 33 anos está muito próximo de ser anunciado pelo clube da Gávea. Caso a negociação se concretize, Rafinha entrará para o seleto grupo de vencedores da competição continental que estão atualmente atuando na Série A.

A lista conta até o momento apenas com Maxi López, do Vasco, que fez parte do elenco do Barcelona no vitorioso ano de 2005/2006, jogando ao lado de Xavi, Iniesta, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Eto’o e Deco, e Ricardo Oliveira, atacante do Atlético Mineiro, campeão na temporada seguinte, vestindo a camisa do Milan. O artilheiro do Galo não disputou a decisão contra o Liverpool – assim como o argentino no Barça -, mas atuou em quatro partidas da campanha e marcou um gol.

E não é apenas a 1º divisão que conta com campeões europeus. O também lateral-direito Maicon, campeão com a Inter de Milão em 2009/2010, segue em atividade aos 37 anos de idade, defendendo as cores do Criciúma na Série B. Seu companheiro de defesa no título, o zagueiro Lúcio, é outro que está na lista. Aos 41 anos, o zagueiro é titular do Brasiliense na disputa da Série D.

Atuando na Europa desde 2005, Rafinha venceu ainda um Mundial de Clubes, uma Supercopa Europeia, três Copas da Alemanha, três Supercopas e sete vezes o campeonato alemão. No currículo, faltam Libertadores e Brasileiro, os grandes objetivos do Flamengo em 2019.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Kane Williamson’s fourth Test century had put New Zealand in the ascendancy until the last two overs•AFP

Kane Williamson and Peter Fulton were looking quite comfortable, until the Bangladesh spinners found their mojo in the final hour. New Zealand went to stumps on 280 for 5, having lost their last three wickets in 10.1 overs in the first Test in Chittagong.After controlled batting had kept all three spinners out of the game on a newly-laid pitch, the fourth and the fifth wickets came in the last two overs, when Williamson, having made 114, and captain Brendon McCullum were adjudged leg-before to Shakib Al Hasan and Abdur Razzak respectively.The visitors’ progress throughout the day was a fair reflection of the conditions. There was no pace in the wicket even at its freshest, and it didn’t change much throughout the day. But the two batsmen, as well as Hamish Rutherford and later Ross Taylor, made friends with the straw-coloured surface quicker than the bowlers would have hoped.Bangladesh included Abdur Razzak for his first Test match in more than two years in hopes of fielding a more rounded attack and just after the first hour, all three spinners had been brought in. But the wickets did not materialise.The swiftness with which the New Zealand top four acclimatised must have been encouraging for the next batsmen. Williamson was the most impressive, adjusting quickly as if he suddenly remembered how he had scored his first ODI hundred in Dhaka. Even then, his timing was noticeable.Today he was as tight in defence as he was forceful when the ball was off line. Coming at the back of a first wicket which was needlessly given away by Rutherford, Williamson avoided rash strokeplay. A backfoot dab through mid-on off the first ball he faced, from Shakib Al Hasan, was perhaps the most elegant shot of the day, but the best one of his 12 boundaries came four balls later – another light punch off the back foot to turn the ball past mid-wicket. The two shots set him up for the rest of the innings, as the Bangladesh spinners struggled to push the ball through, or use the slow nature of the wicket to their benefit.Williamson’s next seven boundaries were all examples of how a batsman’s patience is more often than not rewarded. A majority of them were off short balls, as the bowlers lost their discipline, and soon he reached his half-century off 94 balls.Fulton struggled early on when he repeatedly tried to work the ball in front of the leg side. But after surviving some close calls, he too reached his first fifty since his twin centuries against England in Auckland. His 73 came off 198 balls, with seven fours and a six as he became increasingly comfortable knocking the spinners around, finding the gaps and bringing out the sweep shot once in a while. It was a slow innings, but one that laid the foundation for New Zealand’s dominance on the day.Their 126-run stand – New Zealand’s highest for the second wicket in Bangladesh – wasn’t exactly unexpected because the hosts are used to being on the backfoot when bowling first. But given their attack, it was expected that the pair would be forced into a mistake, which eventually came off Nasir Hossain’s part-time off spin. Fulton had a century in his sights when he smashed a half-tracker straight to cover and walked off the field looking very distraught.Williamson reached his century off 175 balls, a confident knock that was pleasing to the eyes, particularly when he punched the ball off either foot. But it was his strong-willed defence that contributed to his innings the most.Along with Ross Taylor, he added 61 runs for the third wicket, which ended when Taylor’s flick found a leading edge and fell safely into cover’s hands while Rutherford, the day’s first wicket, was another batsman being defeated by his own impetuousness.Williamson was dismissed for 114, having batted more than four hours. His forward prod at Shakib missed the bat, and he was given out leg-before in the penultimate over of the day. McCullum fell in the final over, having played back while trying to flick a ball off Razzak, who was bowling quicker than he had done all day.Despite the five wickets, the day’s play promises much for New Zealand looking ahead in the series. They started off quite well on a new surface, which might not impress their pace bowlers much. The plan from the home side would be to diminish the pace and movement of Trent Boult and Doug Bracewell, and hope the wicket gets better as the match progresses.

Liam Dawson’s all-round performance made the difference between Hampshire and Bangladesh A who lost by eight runs at the Ageas Bowl.

ScorecardLiam Dawson’s all-round performance made the difference between Hampshire and Bangladesh A who lost by eight runs at the Ageas Bowl. His 97 was pivotal in the 223 runs made by the home side before his left-arm spin put the screws on. The match also saw two 50-plus last wicket stands, though the second one didn’t quite finish the job for Bangladesh.The visitors’ struggled with the bat in their first match on tour, until Robiul Islam and Elias Sunny put on an unbroken 58-run tenth wicket stand which added a bit of drama towards the end.The last 35 balls saw the No. 11 Robiul smack five sixes as he made an unbeaten 19-ball 34. Sunny ended up as top-scorer for Bangladesh A with 45 not out, with seven fours and a six at the end. The pair pushed the game into the last over from which they needed 22 runs, but seamer Josh Davey gave away just three runs off the first four balls, swinging the game back in Hampshire’s favour and keeping it that way. Davey is a Middlesex player who was loaned to Hampshire for this game.Dawson’s 3 for 11 from seven overs stung the Bangladesh A batsmen. Having opened the bowling, he accounted for opener Imrul Kayes’ wicket in the seventh over before he took the wicket of captain Jahurul Islam in his next over.Anamul Haque’s 64-minute vigil ended when he was stumped by Adam Rouse off the medium-pace of Josh Davey in the 20th over, having made just 18 off 50 balls. Mominul Haque was more enterprising than the top three in his 28, but he fell to Hamza Riazuddin immediately after hitting the pace bowler for two consecutive fours.The chase fell apart when Naeem Islam and Farhad Reza were dismissed before the visitors reached the 100-run mark. Marshall Ayub tried to resurrect the innings through his 39 off 47 balls, and the 42-run eighth wicket stand with Elias Sunny. But Dawson’s return to the bowling attack brought success as he removed Marshall in the 41st over.Earlier, Dawson walked in at 86 for 4 in the 25th over and slowly recovered the Hampshire innings. He added 37 for the fifth wicket with Davey, but it was his 54-run last wicket partnership with another debutant Brad Taylor that gave them a 200-plus score.Taylor only faced four deliveries in his 30-minutes at the crease, as Dawson took charge. He blasted three fours and a six off Farhad in a 19-run over before hitting two more fours and a six in the next three overs. He missed a certain century after falling to Mominul’s left-arm spin off the first ball of the 50th over, but the 87-ball innings put Bangladesh A on the backfoot towards the end. Sohag Gazi, Rubel Hossain and Farhad took two wickets each while Robiul Islam, Sunny and Mominul chipped in with one each.Bangladesh A’s next match is against Yorkshire in Leeds on August 9.

ووفقا لشبكة ذا أثليتك، فإن برشلونة قد حسّن عرضه للحصول على قائد مانشستر سيتي، إلكاي جوندوجان وعرض عليه عقدًا لمدة ثلاث سنوات، لكن هناك شكوك في أن عرض برشلونة المُحسن سيكون كافيًا.

وينتهي عقد جوندوجان بنهاية يونيو الحالي، لكن لم يوافق على تجديد عقده مع مانشستر سيتي، حيث يريد العقد بمدة معينة وكذلك راتبًا يُرضيه، لأن النادي السماوي لديه سياسة معينة للاعبين بعد سن الـ30.
