Yorkshire ended a disappointing Twenty20 campaign on a high with a six-wicket win over Derbyshire who missed out on a quarter-final place following the Friends Provident t20 clash at Derby

18-Jul-2010
ScorecardYorkshire ended a disappointing Twenty20 campaign on a high with a six-wicket win over Derbyshire who missed out on a quarter-final place following the Friends Provident t20 clash at Derby. A half-century from skipper Andrew Gale and an unbeaten 48 from former Derbyshire batsman Gary Ballance took the visitors to their target of 138 with four balls remaining.Clint McKay wrapped up victory in style with a six – only the second of the match – off Tim Groenewald but the Falcons’ hopes of making the last eight had already been ended by Northamptonshire’s win against Durham. Derbyshire’s batsmen struggled on a slow pitch with Wes Durston’s 39 from 35 balls the top score in a below-par total of 137 for 7.The Falcons went into their final North Group game without big hitting South African batsman Loots Bosman who was out with an injured knee and his replacement, Chesney Hughes, shared an opening stand of 41 with Durston. Hughes struggled to get the ball away and made 14 in seven overs before he was bowled swinging at Richard Pyrah and Greg Smith went in the next over when he came down the pitch to Adil Rashid and was bowled.The Falcons hit only four boundaries in the first 10 overs and their hopes of raising the tempo in the second half of the innings suffered a blow when Durston slapped a wide full toss from Lee Hodgson to short cover. Derbyshire were in danger of falling short of a competitive total when Jon Clare was bowled by Hodgson for 10 and Wayne Madsen was lured down the pitch by David Wainwright and stumped by yards.The first six of the innings came in the 18th over when Garry Park latched on to a long hop from Wainwright and some clever improvisation from Robin Peterson, whose unbeaten 32 from 24 balls included three fours, at least gave the Falcons a decent score to defend.The Falcons’ hopes soared briefly when Adam Lyth pulled a low full toss from Smith to deep midwicket in the second over and there was more encouragement for the home supporters three overs later. Herschelle Gibbs played one crunching straight drive for four off Groenewald but he went for another big shot off the next ball and skied a catch to extra cover.At 30 for 2, the game was wide open but Gale and Ballance tilted it towards Yorkshire with a stand of 85 in 13 overs although Derbyshire had a strong run-out appeal rejected in the 14th over when Gale was on 41.By the time Gale departed for 55 from 56 balls, bowled moving across his stumps trying to work Charl Langeveldt through midwicket, the game was slipping away from the home side although Yorkshire wobbled briefly before crossing the line.Jonathan Bairstow was needlessly run out going for a second in the penultimate over but McKay settled any nerves by lifting Groenewald over deep square leg to win what had been a strangely flat game in front of a disappointingly low crowd.

Newcastle United have made contact with Fiorentina over exit-bound centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, according to Calciomercato (via Sport Witness).

The lowdown

Milenkovic is approaching five years at Fiorentina, having joined from Partizan Belgrade in the summer of 2017.

But the 24-year-old is now well into the final 18 months of his deal at La Viola.

The 6 foot 3 defender, reportedly the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves and West Ham United in 2021, is valued at £20.7million by Transfermarkt.

Newcastle did add a centre-back to their ranks in January, paying Brighton and Hove Albion £13.5million for Dan Burn.

The latest

The report (via SW) states that Fiorentina have ‘had contact’ with Newcastle over Milenkovic in ‘recent days’.

The club have made a ‘pact’ with the Serbian, whereby he can leave if a ‘fair offer’ arrives. It therefore ‘seems almost obvious’ that he will depart at the end of the campaign.

Newcastle, though, do face competition from two Serie A giants in the form of Juventus and AC Milan.

Juve have apparently been tracking him for ‘some time’, while Milan have already formalised their interest.

The verdict

When you look at Milenkovic, what stands most out is his ability in the air. He wins 3.6 aerial duels per 90 minutes, which ranks him in the 86th percentile among positional peers in the top five European leagues (via FBRef).

In fact, of all the players who contested 100 or more in those competitions in 2020/21, he had the best success rate (via WhoScored).

Indeed, he could be a dominant presence at the heart of The Magpies’ backline for a number of years.

We’ll have to see if the allure of joining PIF’s hugely ambitious project, and of playing in the Premier League, is enough for them to see off the Italian competition.

In other news, PIF are also in talks over this wide man.

أشاد كارلو أنشيلوتي مدرب ريال مدريد بجوزيه مورينيو وأشار إلى أن انتقال البرتغالي إلى روما كان القرار الأمثل.

تولى المدرب البرتغالي البالغ من العمر 59 عامًا تدريب روما العام الماضي وحقق النجاح على الفور في العاصمة الإيطالية.

وقاد مورينيو روما إلى أول لقب أوروبي له بالتتويج بدوري المؤتمر الأوروبي، وحصل روما على إضافات رئيسية مثل باولو ديبالا ونيمانيا ماتيتش في الصيف، وكان حريصًا على القتال من أجل المركز الرابع.

وأوضح رأيه عبر كتاب إيفان زازاروني “أن تصبح مورينيو”، وأعطى أنشيلوتي أفكاره حول مورينيو وانتقال المدرب البرتغالي إلى روما العام الماضي.

وقال مدرب ريال مدريد: “لقد عرفت جوزيه منذ سنوات عديدة وأعتقد أن روما قد غيره”.

وأضاف: “كان الزواج مع الجيلاوروسي زواجًا مثاليًا له ولغجر روما أنفسهم، إنه رائع، أعرف ما لم يتغير فيه، ولم يتغير صدقه وذكائه”.

منذ وصوله العام الماضي، أشرف مورينيو على 73 مباراة لروما، بمتوسط ​​1.84 نقطة لكل مباراة.

ويحتل النادي حاليًا المركز الرابع في جدول الدوري الإيطالي بعد 12 مباراة، حيث حصل على 25 نقطة من ثمانية انتصارات وتعادل، وتأهل لملحق الدوري الأوروبي المؤهل لدور الـ 16. 

مباراة روما القادمة هي ديربي ديلا كابيتالي ضد لاتسيو جاره في العاصمة.

It is tempting to look at these matches – two Twenty20 internationals between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, being played in the USA – as precisely the reason why tournaments like IPL prosper

The Big PictureIt is tempting to look at these matches – two Twenty20 internationals between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, being played in the USA – as precisely the reason why tournaments like IPL prosper. Twenty20 is the best vehicle for the globalisation of the game, which somehow – rightly or wrongly – seems to be a big concern for the administrators. The ICC sees the USA, with a team full of Asians and a country boasting enough immigrants to constitute a crowd for a match, as a prospective market. Since the two teams had been to the Caribbean, why not have them stop over on their way back.Yet, on another level, there is much to suggest that this series is yet another example of the ICC sanctioning an ill-timed series, one without context. It hasn’t been even a week since the end of the World Twenty20, and the fatigue, even for the slam-bang format, was evident among the audience during the bilateral series earlier this week between West Indies and South Africa. It would have been foolish to expect anything but in the first place: there is only so much Twenty20 people can take.In any event, it is going to be a huge weekend for cricket in the USA, especially as a venue. Already the series has been cut short because of poor floodlighting. It is the first time two Test teams are playing in America, and how the matches go from an organisational point of view will have a bearing on the future of international cricket in the USA.There has also been concern over whether New Zealand and Sri Lanka, small countries with small diaspora, will be able to attract enough supporters, leave alone taking the game to the natives, which should be the real aim. The onus will be on the teams to play attractive cricket; it is not easy to make a pitching-obsessed nation fall in love with bowling. They can’t turn up jaded, like West Indies and South Africa did, three days after the World Twenty20 final.Form guide (most recent first)New Zealand LWLWW
Sri Lanka LWLWWWatch out for…Mahela Jayawardene and Daniel Vettori are the complete antitheses of hitters and pitchers from baseball. If they are both at their best, who knows the Americans might just see the light.
The pitch and conditions are a complete unknown. “There’s a New Zealand groundsman here looking after it [the pitch] and preparing it,” said Ross Taylor. “To be honest, we don’t really know what to expect.” Isolated thunderstorms are also forecast for the weekend.Team newsBetween the World Twenty20 and now, New Zealand have lost Jesse Ryder to another injury, and Shane Bond for good. Gareth Hopkins has a knee injury so Brendon McCullum is likely to keep wicket, while offspinning allrounder Rob Nicol is set to make his debut.New Zealand (possible): 1 Brendon McCullum (wk), 2 Aaron Redmond, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Scott Styris, 6 Jacob Oram, 7 Daniel Vettori (capt.), 8 Rob Nicol , 9 Kyle Mills, 10 Ian Butler, 11 Andy McKay.Sri Lanka should retain their combination from the World Twenty20 before Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara and Sanath Jayasuriya take a break.
Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Mahela Jayawardene 2 Sanath Jayasuriya, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt. & wk), 4 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 5 Chamara Kapugedera, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Chinthaka Jayasinghe, 8 Thissara Perera, 9 Suraj Randiv, 10 Thilan Thushara, 11 Lasith Malinga.Stats and trivia Brendon McCullum, at 1081, is the highest run-getter in T20Is. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, with 743 and 711 runs, are numbers four and five on the list. New Zealand have won four out of their seven games against Sri Lanka, including their latest victory in the World Twenty20.Quotes”Miami is a new place for all of us. Most of the guys haven’t been to the States. We’ve had a look around, went to a baseball game. It’s something different, going out of your routine of playing against top nations in venues you’re quite familiar with. It will be good fun.”

“We’ve been waiting a long time for this. This is part of what we’ve been calling Destination USA. We took, with the board’s help, a view to try and bring in the best teams in the world and show that the United States is open for business as far as cricket is concerned.”

O elenco do Corinthians viaja neste domingo à noite para os Estados Unidos, onde disputará a Florida Cup. Mas quatro jogadores se reapresentam ao Timão apenas na segunda-feira: o goleiro Matheus Vidotto, o meia Gustavo Vieira e os atacantes Mendoza e Bruno Paulo. O quarteto está fora dos planos da comissão técnica alvinegra para 2018 e aguarda propostas de outros clubes.

Matheus Vidotto foi afastado do elenco em novembro do ano passado. O goleiro de 24 anos se irritou por ter sido preterido por Caíque França após os desfalques de Cássio e Walter. Ele é cria da base, participou de quatro jogos (sendo dois amistosos) e tem contrato com o Corinthians até o fim deste ano.

Gustavo Vieira, por sua vez, é bem menos conhecido pela torcida corintiana. O meia paraguaio foi contratado para a equipe sub-20 em 2014, do Rubiu Ñu (PAR). Ele subiu ao profissional e chegou a viajar para a Florida Cup em 2016, mas não teve espaço com o técnico Tite e foi emprestado ao Rubio Ñu, seu ex-clube.

O meia participou de dois jogos pelo Timão: amistosos com o ABC em 2015 e com o Fort Lauderdale Strikers em 2016, pela Florida Cup. Ele tem 22 anos e contrato apenas até agosto.

Já Mendoza esteve emprestado ao Bahia em 2017 e até conseguiu boas atuações, tendo atuado em 31 jogos no Brasileirão, com oito gols e três assistências. A vontade do colombiano era ter oportunidades no Corinthians e comunicou à diretoria sobre o desejo de voltar, mas não foi atendido.

Ele foi contratado pelo Corinthians no fim de 2014, quando defendia o Chennaiyin, da Índia. No Timão, ele disputou 31 partidas e marcou três gols. No segundo semestre de 2015, voltou ao clube indiano por empréstimo e ano passado foi cedido ao New York City, antes de jogar no Bahia. O colombiano tem 25 anos e contrato com o Corinthians até o fim desta temporada.

Por fim, Bruno Paulo está fora dos planos para 2018 após ter sido emprestado ao Santa Cruz no ano passado. O atacante de 27 anos chegou a entrar na mira do Guarani, a pedido do técnico Fernando Diniz, que trabalhou com o jogador no Grêmio Osasco Audax. O treinador, porém, deixou já deixou o clube campineiro para comandar o Atlético-PR.

Pelo Santa Cruz, Bruno Paulo atuou em 25 partidas e marcou três gols. Já pelo Timão, o atacante só participou do amistoso contra a Ferroviária na pré-temporada de 2017. Ele foi contratado em 2016 e tem vínculo até julho de 2019.

Writing on his Patreon profile, reliable club insider ExWHUemployee has made a West Ham United transfer claim involving Marseille defender Duje Caleta-Car.

The Lowdown: Hammers have bid rejected…

According to reports, amid David Moyes’ last-gasp attempts to sign a new centre-back this month, the Irons have actually had an offer rejected for the Croatia international.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-latest-news-copy/” title=”West Ham latest news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Indeed, The Scottish Daily Mail’s print edition (page 75, via West Ham Zone) claim that the east Londoners tabled a loan bid for Caleta-Car which was swiftly turned down as Marseille apparently demand a permanent deal.

He is a familiar name to plenty of Hammers fans as their club had actually ‘agreed’ a fee to sign him in 2020 (Mike McGrath), but the move eventually fell through.

Alas, it appears they aren’t quite done in their efforts to bring the defender to London, with ExWHUemployee now sharing some news.

The Latest: Ex makes Caleta-Car claim…

Writing on Patreon, the club source claimed that ‘talks will also happen’ with Marseille in this last week of the trabsfer window to see if a possible ‘compromise’ can be reached as Moyes chases an agreement.

Ex reiterated that West Ham, and by extension recruitment chief Rob Newman, would ‘like to initially loan’ Caleta-Car, considering that he is unproven in the Premier League.

Marseille do not want to agree a temporary transfer but that apparently won’t stop the Irons in their attempts to see if there is a middle ground.

The Verdict: Interesting final week…

West Ham are arguably in dire need of a world-class central defender and backup striker to Michail Antonio, with Moyes running out of time to bolster either one of these positions.

Amassing 20 caps with Croatia at international level, Caleta-Car could prove to be a shrewd addition if West Ham can reach a compromise with his current club.

The 6 foot 3 powerhouse, who was called ‘quality’ by his defensive partner Alvaro Gonzalez (Ligue 1), could apparently cost up to £20m on an outright permanent deal (talkSPORT) – arguably a small price to pay for a player still fairly young and solid on the big stage.

Over Caleta-Car’s Europa League outings this season, only Kurt Zouma has averaged more interceptions per match (three) than the Ligue 1 ace (1.7) when compared to West Ham’s current squad (WhoScored). Furthermore, he has managed a consistent two clearances per 90, with only Zouma and Ben Johnson making more among Moyes’ squad (WhoScored).

With the clock ticking down quickly on this transfer window, we urge Newman and co to step up their pursuit and back Moyes ahead of a tricky final run of 2021/22.
