ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jul-2012

The opener Kieran Powell has said he needed to divorce himself from Chris Gayle’s brisk scoring to ensure he did not throw his own wicket away on the second day in Antigua. West Indies will now set their sights on batting into day four after making such a strong start to the first innings against New Zealand, with the total having reached 145 for 0 at stumps on the second day.It was already the highest opening stand in a Test by a West Indies pair since Gayle and Daren Ganga added 162 in Multan in November 2006. The performance highlighted the importance to the West Indies side of Gayle, who was playing his first Test in more than 18 months, and he moved along to 85 from 124 deliveries while Powell shuffled along at his own pace to 58 from 164.”It’s a big relief because it takes all the pressure off your scoring,” Powell said of having Gayle at the top of the order. “The shots you see him play, you just have to put yourself in your own bubble and get away from that or you try and do things and get out. It wasn’t difficult, I just got myself in my own little bubble and just tried to steady. It didn’t matter what I saw at the other end from Chris. I just tried to stick within my limitations.”The West Indies openers had already undone much of the good work New Zealand had put together over the first day, although he deficit remained 206 runs at stumps. But with the world’s No. 4-ranked batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, still to come, along with men like Marlon Samuels and Narsingh Deonarine, finding a way through to the West Indies tail looms as a tough challenge for New Zealand.”It’s always important to get a good start when you’ve got guys like that in your team,” Powell said of Chanderpaul and the middle order. “They know they can come in and play under no pressure and express themselves a bit earlier in their innings as well. We’ve got a good start early, so if we can bat the whole of tomorrow and a piece of day four we should be in a good position to bat once and have New Zealand out twice.”The New Zealanders felt they were on top after the first day, when they closed at 232 for 4, but Sunil Narine’s first five-wicket haul in a Test match meant they were dismissed for 351 soon after lunch on the second afternoon. Daniel Vettori said that although New Zealand’s bowlers hadn’t started as they would have hoped when Gayle and Powell walked to the crease, they believed the pressure was building by the end of the day.”It wasn’t the way we wanted to start but I thought by the end of the day we were actually bowling pretty well and starting to create some pressure and maybe if the session had gone a little bit longer we could have taken some wickets,” Vettori said. “You can’t give those freebies away to Gayle because he’s like a Sehwag, he’ll just really hurt you.I think we were going at sixes and sevens pretty early on and it puts you on the back foot and you have to bowl to defensive fields and you probably don’t bowl as well as you’d like. That was pretty disappointing after what was a reasonably good batting performance.”We created some pressure at my end, I thought Kane [Williamson] bowled really well and then Neil Wagner at the end, being able to get it to reverse and starting to ask some questions. That’s going to be a handy asset for us tomorrow. I think the goal is to keep West Indies around a par score, because that wicket is going to get tougher and tougher to play on.”Wagner finished his first day of Test bowling with 0 for 35 from eight overs and although he leaked eight boundaries, Vettori said that was not a reflection on how he had bowled.”He can actually bowl reverse and he does it really well. He runs in hard and asks a lot of questions,” Vettori said. “On these sorts of wickets he’s going to be tough going and we’ve got to make sure we create that sort of pressure so we can attack.”We need to make sure they come away about par and that’s by getting early wickets tomorrow, particularly Gayle’s wicket and probably Chanderpaul’s as well, because he has the ability to bat for a long time. If we can do that, who knows, we can create some pressure and the chance to win the game.”

Os clubes da primeira divisão estadual reuniram-se com a direção da Federação Paulista de Futebol na manhã deste terça-feira, na sede da entidade, para definir os detalhes do Paulistão de 2019. A grande novidade será o uso do VAR (árbitro de vídeo) a partir das quartas de final do Paulista.

Os 16 clubes foram divididos em quatro grupos. Na primeira fase, cada time joga em turno único com as equipes dos outros três grupos e os dois melhores de cada chave avançam para a fase mata-mata da competição, que será decidida em jogos de ida e volta, com a última partida na casa do clube com a melhor campanha. O torneio terá início no dia 20 de janeiro, e a grande final acontecerá em 21 de abril.

A tecnologia no Paulistão será implantada pela Hawk-Eye Innovations, empresa responsável pela utilização do árbitro de vídeo na Copa do Mundo da Rússia, neste ano. A federação será responsável pelo custo integral do VAR nas 14 partidas da fase mata-mata (cerca de R$ 30 mil por jogo).

O Paulistão 2019 também contará com a livre inscrição dos atletas formados nas categorias de base dos clubes. Cada time poderá inscrever 26 jogadores, além dos garotos da base.

Vale ressaltar que a partir do próximo ano, a venda do mando de campo para o estádio do adversário estará vetada. Por exemplo: se o Bragantino enfrentar o Palmeiras nas quartas de final, o time do interior não poderá mandar a partida para o Allianz Parque. Porém, o jogo poderá ser realizado na cidade do rival. Nesse caso, o Bragantino poderia jogar no Pacaembu.

Jos Buttler’s international career finally came alive at Edgbaston and in an instant his stock has rocketed

David Hopps16-Sep-2012

Even in the instant world of Twenty20, it takes some believing that a single over can change the mindset of a team, never mind the player involved. But the 32 runs that Jos Buttler took off one over from Wayne Parnell in the final dregs of the English summer has become emblematic for an England squad seeking proof that they have the capacity to win the World Twenty20.Before his Edgbaston escapade, Buttler was just another skilful young player seeking to justify the faith shown in him. After one brief but violent assault he has instantly become one of the most talked-about players in town. “Which one is Jos Buttler?” is now a contender for the top ten questions in the hotel lobby, proudly ranked alongside other essentials like “is my room ready yet?” and “can you give me some change for the tuk-tuk driver”.For more than a year, Buttler’s T20 career was stillborn. He had 10 caps, but in six innings had reached double figures only once. Those who had watched him at Somerset yearned for his ability to overflow. But he got out twice in Dubai to his signature ramp shot and as well as enquiring of the batting coach, he even asked the team psychologist, Mark Bawden, if he should keep playing it. Bawden told him to trust his instincts as sports psychologists tend to do.Buttler, as he did in the aftermath of Edgbaston, spoke in Colombo of the confidence this has brought him, that he “feels calmer, more myself, more relaxed,” that his ability to repay the faith has given him a greater sense of belonging. A few days before the biggest tournament of his life it could not be better timed.”After the first one I hit, I thought ‘this is good fun, I can enjoy this’,” he said. “It was just one of those overs: he bowled it where I guessed and it just came off. I’m excited about gaining a bit of recognition or getting noticed. That can only be a good thing; it means you must have done something right for sides to know who you are.”But it is the positive impact that Buttler’s innings has made upon the England team that is so striking. England admittedly are defending champions, but they do not play much T20 and have little involvement in IPL. As one of the last sides to arrive in Sri Lanka, they could easily feel like visitors rather than contenders.Eoin Morgan, who in the absence of Kevin Pietersen is the batsman with IPL-cred, enthused about the wider impact of Buttler’s innings. “It was absolutely brilliant,” he said. “It gives everyone else around them belief that he can perform at any given time especially when it is to that extremity.”I’ve been watching Jos train for nearly a year now, and he’s phenomenal. We’ve all been waiting for this to evolve. The fact it has now is awesome for his own confidence, knowing that he can pull out a performance like that, and it is also great for the team.”It wasn’t easy for him in Dubai where it was reverse swinging, and it was among his first couple of innings. There were a lot of contributing factors to why he didn’t have a chance to go out and play the way he could. It is very timely he has now. Like anything, until you go out there and prove to yourself and you know inside you can perform, all the reassuring words run off your shoulders really.”The value of Buttler’s assault is even more important if you accept Morgan’s assertion that T20 is evolving so quickly that experience is often passed in the reverse manner, from young to old, rather like teenage sons showing fathers how to download an App. Morgan might pass on advice in team meetings about how to keep things simple, but he gets a lot back in return.”Everyone that comes through, you learn a hell of a lot more from,” he said. “You’re always a generation behind when you’re passing on experience. The way the game’s going, people are always bringing in new things.”England play the first of two warm-up games against Australia in Colombo tomorrow, at Nondescripts CC, a club with a name that Buttler need no longer fear sums up his international career. Pakistan follow on Wednesday before Group A matches against Afghanistan on Friday and India two days later.”I’ve played Afghanistan before, when I played for Ireland, and have been on a losing side against them, so I won’t be taking them for granted at all,” Morgan said. “They have a lot of up-and-coming players, and it’s a potential banana skin for us. If we don’t perform, there’s a chance they could sneak over the line.”But survive that and England move to Pallakele for the Super Eights, to face – barring shocks – West Indies, Sri Lanka and New Zealand and with the October monsoon approaching a little unsettled weather might help their cause, if not assist the batsman-friendly tournament for which the ICC must yearn.”Pallekele is similar to English conditions – it does do a bit,” Morgan said. “Research suggests it nips around which I’m not sure will be the most attractive Twenty20 cricket. But there’s every chance of these conditions, especially with the rain around – which we’re more used to after the summer we’ve had.”As for Pietersen-watch, he is about to arrive in Sri Lanka as an expert pundit for ESPN Star Sports. “I’d no idea he was coming,” Morgan said. “I look forward to seeing it. It could be quite funny.”The Pietersen imbroglio, he said, was not a dressing room obsession, but neither was it a banned topic of conversation. “No, it’s not like Voldemort, it’s alright,” he said.As Stuart Broad, England’s T20 captain, has occasionally been compared to Malfoy, this raises interesting possibilities. Harry Potter fans will tell you that Voldemort gives Malfoy a hug – an awkward, unfeely hug, but a hug nevertheless – in the final edition of Harry Potter. The first time he bumps into Stuart Broad, England’s T20 captain, in the hotel lobby could be quite touching.

Fábio Braga, filho e representante de Abel Braga, confirmou nesta quinta-feira ter conversado com Santos, Flamengo e mais um clube mantido em sigilo sobre a possibilidade de contar com o técnico para 2019. O treinador deu uma pausa em sua carreira em junho deste ano, deixando o Fluminense 11 meses após a morte um filho de 19 anos.

– Do Flamengo, houve uma consulta. Mesma coisa do Santos, um contato. Não se falou em tempo de contrato , valores e proposta. Queriam saber como seria o ano. Teve ainda um terceiro time, que é melhor não falar o nome – disse Fábio Braga, em entrevista ao site Globo Esporte.

O presidente do Santos, José Carlos Peres, já tentou o técnico no início e no meio deste ano, mas Abel recusou as propostas – a primeira, por estar no Flu, e a segunda, por querer voltar a trabalhar apenas no começo da temporada 2019. Peres já descartou dez nomes de técnicos e demonstrou priorizar o carioca.

No Fla, o nome de Abel Braga ganhou força internamente desde sua saída do Fluminense, antes da Copa do Mudo. Na época, Maurício Barbieri estava no comando do Flamengo de forma interina, mas acabou sendo efetivado durante a pausa para a Copa do Mundo. Abelão, por sua vez, não chegou a ser procurado pelo Flamengo no meio do ano, uma vez que deixou claro que só trabalharia a partir de janeiro.

O treinador nutre carinho pelo Flamengo, onde trabalhou em 2004 e conquistou o Campeonato Carioca. Para Abel, a passagem pela Gávea foi um aprendizado e marcou sua carreira, que deslanchou nos anos seguintes.

A eleição presidencial do Flamengo, a ser realizada no próximo dia 8, tem duas chapas como favoritas: a Rosa, do candidato Ricardo Lomba, e a Roxa, de Rodolfo Landim. Os dois grupos viam Renato Gaúcho como nome ideal para comandar o Rubro-Negro na próxima temporada, mas o Grêmio, anunciou nesta quinta-feira a renovação de contrato com o técnico. Outras duas chapas concorrem: a Branca, de Marcelo Vargas, e a Amarela, de José Carlos Peruano.

Graeme Swann he has cautioned against expectations that his bowling will be the decisive factor in the tourists’ attempts to win the series

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Oct-2012

Graeme Swann will travel to India on the verge of becoming England’s most successful offspinner in Test cricket but he has cautioned against expectations that his bowling will be the decisive factor in the tourists’ attempts to win the series.Since taking two wickets in his first over of Test cricket in Chennai four years ago, Swann has added a further 190 to the tally to leave him within one wicket of Jim Laker’s mark of 193. Although Swann has taken 39 wickets in 2012, his ten victims during the English summer came at an average of 59 and he was dropped for the first time in more than three years when England opted, unsuccessfully, to play four fast bowlers against South Africa at Headingley.A chronic elbow injury, which has required periods of rest to ameliorate the pain of floating bone fragments near to the nerve, has also dogged Swann. He acknowledges that the expectations of Indian pitches will add to his burden, as England seek to improve on a record that has seen them win just one Test match in the country since 1985, but can take confidence from an impressive record in Asia, which includes taking his second ten-wicket haul in Tests against Sri Lanka earlier this year.”As a spinner it stands to reason that when you go to the subcontinent people are going to look to you and how you bowl,” Swann told the before heading off for England’s training camp in Dubai. “But if we do turn up just expecting the spinner to win the series for us then we’re screwed.”The key to Test cricket is that the more you play the more confident you get and the more confident you get ergo you bowl more consistently. Having looked at the schedule I know two of the pitches might turn, in Kolkata and Mumbai. I am not sure about the other two. I have been reliably informed that Nagpur is the flattest wicket ever devised by groundsmen but that was by Cooky, who got a hundred there on his debut.”Alastair Cook, now elevated to the position of England captain, shares with Swann the experience of an impressive debut in India. But Swann was also swift to recall the result of the first Test in 2008, when Sachin Tendulkar’s unbeaten hundred helped India to reach a fourth-innings target of 387 with six wickets in hand.”It all started for me there and I can’t quite believe it has come round again so quickly,” Swann said. “It all seems like a dream when I think about the start of it. I remember the smells that were wafting over the ground when I took the ball. It’s all very romantic when I think back.”The rose-tinted glasses are removed of course because of the fact that we had 360-odd chased down at a canter by Mr Tendulkar. But it’s got fond memories for me personally because I did well. To realise that you can compete at a level that you have always had a sneaking suspicion that you weren’t good enough for is one of the greatest weights ever to be lifted off your shoulders. I will be indebted to those first two Test matches for making me realise it was just another game of cricket.”Swann will return to India have long since usurped Monty Panesar as England’s No. 1 spinner and, despite the protestations to the contrary, his form with the ball will almost certainly be as important to the team as the return of Kevin Pietersen to the fold. The summer rupture between members of the England squad and Pietersen was compounded by a painful series defeat to South Africa, and the loss of the No. 1 ranking, but Cook in his new role has been instrumental in seeking a fresh start.It was during Pietersen’s brief spell as England captain that Swann came into the side and he was among the players Pietersen met with during his “reintegration” process. Swann expressed relief that the situation had been resolved and, after becoming a father for the second time only a week ago, he was perhaps understandably looking forward to focusing on more important issues.”More than anything it is a good thing it is done and dusted,” said Swann. “A line has been drawn under it and the actual cricket can go back to doing the talking rather than off-field antics. I am sure it can get back to how it was. I think a lot depended on Kevin. He seems in a place now where he is happy to play again, he has committed himself to the team and that’s good moving forward.”I think that everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet now. I think there has been a bit of honesty and a bit of contriteness from certain parties. I think everybody is fed up with it and that’s why we just want to play cricket.”After almost a month off post-World Twenty20, England will begin playing cricket again on Tuesday, with a three-day game against India A. That will be followed by two more warm-up matches, before the first of four Tests begins in Ahmedabad on November 15.

Enquanto a diretoria do Corinthians trabalha para fechar a volta de Fábio Carille, Jair Ventura ainda faz planos para a próxima temporada. Em entrevista coletiva após a derrota para o Grêmio, em sua provável despedida do clube, Jair disse não ter sido avisado sobre as negociações com Carille e afirmou que segue trabalhando normalmente.

– Você sabe que a vida de treinador é sempre assim, principalmente quando os resultados não acontecem. Você olha um percentual, mas a gente não pode pegar só o percentual e falar disso. Temos que analisar as circunstâncias. Circunstâncias essas que quando nós chegamos, a maioria de vocês falou “você vai encarar uma situação como essa, de muitas mudanças, de várias perdas, de jogos decisivos?”. Por falar em número, de 80 equipes que iniciaram a Copa do Brasil, só restaram duas. 78 foram eliminadas, conseguimos uma classificação para a final, fizemos bons jogos. Acabamos perdendo alguns, e jogos que você perde diminui o percentual, mesmo sendo em mata-mata. Então, de repente, dentro do que tudo aconteceu, não foi tão bom. Mas de repente foi o possível. Poderia ter sido melhor? Poderia. Mas também poderia ter sido pior. De repente conseguimos fazer o possível dentro de uma circunstância que era muito difícil. Acho que ficou claro para todo mundo que isso acaba sumindo um pouquinho quando chega no final do campeonato. Mas faria a mesma coisa. Você receber o convite do Corinthians, independentemente da circunstância que era muito difícil, não tinha como não aceitar – afirmou Jair.

– Lógico que a gente poderia ter ido melhor no Brasileiro. Muitos falaram em rebaixamento, eu fui incisivo e cobrado por essa situação que eu falei que não caía, e realmente não caiu. A gente sempre estava com uns quatro times acima da zona de rebaixamento. Por issso também a gente falava que não ia cair. Teriam que cinco times ultrapassar o Corinthians. Chegamos agora no final do campeonato, queríamos a classificação para a Libertadores, mas conseguimos uma classificação para a Sul-Americana. Lógico que é pouco para a grandeza do Corinthians, mas dentro de todas as circustâncias, nós conseguimos ir para a final da Copa do Brasil, conseguimos ser campeões paulista, eu falo “nós” porque me sinto parte do processo. E sobre minha permanência ou não, sigo trabalhando e fazendo o planejamento, tudo normal. Tenho até dezembro de 2019 contrato, e a decisão fica sempre da diretoria. Mas sigo trabalhando normalmente. Quando você tem contrato, você só vai ser avisado se não for seguir. Desde o momento que não tem a conversa de não seguir, você segue sua vida normalmente como funcionário do clube – completou o treinador, na longa resposta após ter sido perguntado sobre sua situação.

Jair ainda detalhou as “circunstâncias” citadas. O treinador foi contratado em setembro, antes do clássico contra o Palmeiras e da semifinal da Copa do Brasil diante do Flamengo. Sob seu comando, o Timão chegou à decisão da Copa do Brasil, mas perdeu para o Cruzeiro.

– Circunstâncias que quando eu cheguei toda a imprensa falava: de eu ter aceitado o convite em um momento delicado do clube, que vinha de muitas perdas, que vinha de desempenhos oscilando. Dentro dessas dificuldades de você pegar um trabalho em transição, a gente fez o que fez o possível. Foi o ideal? Não. É diferente ser bom e ser dentro do que foi possível. Mas dentro do possível, conseguimos uma final da Copa do Brasil, onde entrou mais de R$ 20 milhões na conta do clube, acho que qualquer clube fica feliz com essa situação. Oscilamos no Brasileiro, não estamos aqui para fugir dessa responsabilidade, e agora vamos fortes para 2019 – projetou o treinador, que ainda citou o planejamento de contratações.

– Sei de todo o processo, de todos os jogadores que vão, quem fica, que não fica. Mas já falei algumas vezes que vamos falar disso depois. Vamos sentar com a diretoria e explicar os jogadores que permanecem ou não – disse.

Embora Jair tenha falado sobre os planos para a próxima temporada, a tendência é de que ele seja demitido ainda neste ano. A expectativa no Corinthians é de que o acerto com Carille seja sacramentado nos próximos dias. Entre Timão e treinador já está praticamente tudo certo. No entanto, a multa rescisória com o Al Wehda (SAU) é de 700 mil dólares (cerca de R$ 2,7 milhões).

Em sua provável última entrevista coletiva. Jair também comentou sobre o desempenho do Corinthians na derrota por 1 a 0 para o Grêmio. Ele falou que teve “um bom papo” no intervalo e aprovou a melhora da equipe no segundo tempo, mas lamentou o fato de o Grêmio ter dominado e marcado na etapa inicial.

– Primeiro tempo total do Grêmio, a gente com uma postura bem abaixo. No intervalo, conseguimos de alguma maneira mudar isso. Tive um bom papo com eles, não gosto de revelar nossa intimidade, mas um bom papo dá para entender. Voltamos com uma postura diferente, fechamos com 65% de posse de bola. Inverteu: o Grêmio passou a ser o Corinthians e o Corinthians passou a ser o Grêmio. Fizemos um belo segundo tempo, mas em dois tempos distintos, acho que ficou claro isso, o Grêmio foi mais eficiente e o Grêmio conseguiu a vitória. Uma pena a gente ter oscilado dessa maneira tão drástica que nos custou uma vitória. A gente vinha conversando, foi uma das coisas que aconteceram de ter que levar o gol para começar a jogar, e aconteceu hoje. Nem sempre vai conseguir reverter a situação – afirmou Jair.

– Começamos o jogo com cinco meninos de 21 anos, muito jovens, e alguns da minha idade como o Danilo e o Sheik, que encerrou. Queria até desejar sucesso ao Emerson para sua carreira fora de campo. Que o Danilo possa ser campeão e feliz como sempre foi. Estamos buscando nomes, sabemos da necessidade de reposição. Não é nem reforços, porque perdemos muitos jogadores, o mercado vem muito forte com o time atual campeão. Estamos trabalhando, sabemos das dificuldades, mas também sabemos da necessidade para poder fazer um grande ano. Lembrando também que em 2008, exatamente há dez anos, o Corinthians perdeu uma final da Copa do Brasil e ganhou no ano seguinte. Pensamos em fazer ainda melhor ano que vem e conseguir o título como aconteceu há dez anos – acrescentou.

Apesar da derrota em Porto Alegre, o Corinthians ficou com uma vaga para a Copa Sul-Americana do ano que vem. O Timão terminou o Brasileiro em 13º lugar, com 44 pontos.

Daniel Brettig in Hobart13-Dec-2012

On the eve of another home Test series played in a first-class cricket vacuum, Australia’s team performance manager Pat Howard has admitted it will take years for international sides to find a way of coping adequately with the mounting tension between Twenty20 and long-form games.As has become standard procedure for the Australian season, the Tests at the height of summer run concurrently against the BBL, leaving the national team and its selectors with no reliable first-class competition beneath it to groove players for five-day combat. Unless contracted to a BBL team, cricketers around the country have no option but to go back to their clubs for any kind of match play, leaving batsmen and bowlers without an adequate lead-in to possible Test match duty.Mitchell Johnson, Australia’s 12th man against Sri Lanka in Hobart, has packed his kit and prepared to fly out of Tasmania, and will now have only a series of four-over cameos for the Brisbane Heat by which to press his case for a return to the XI. Usman Khawaja and Alex Doolan, meanwhile, appear little chance of pressing Phillip Hughes for his newly regained Test batting spot via their T20 duties for the Sydney Thunder and the Melbourne Renegades. This muddled state of affairs will return again during next summer’s Ashes Tests in Australia.Howard told ESPNcricinfo that the competing technical, physical and mental demands of T20 and Test matches were causing furrowed brows around the world, leaving players, coaches and support staff from all nations at something of a loss to find the ideal preparatory path. Australia has made considerable strides in developing the lines of communication between CA, the states and the BBL teams to ensure players of interest are given some chance of staying Test-ready, but Howard conceded much still needed to be learned.”It’s not a perfect world, you want to be able to deal with all the different formats, and it’s complicated. But it’s complicated for everybody,” Howard said. “I actually think dealing with this challenge will take a couple of years for all countries, and they’re dealing with it in different ways.”The scheduling is difficult. In saying this, you get plenty of warning – it’s not like they put that schedule up against you a week in advance. So we know this same round of BBL is between Test one and Test two of the Ashes next year, we’re well across that. So we’re 12 months in advance in our schedule and our thinking, so we need to be making sure those guys in and around the team are getting practice with the right coloured balls at the right time, with the right coaches.”And they know they’re playing in game X, but part of their training is going to incorporate Y. That’s been communicated through the national selection panel with the states as well and through the BBL teams. That process has been happening. It’s never easy, but it’s part of the challenge that all teams and all countries now have to go through.”Australia’s captain Michael Clarke experienced the difficulty of being left to his own devices for almost a month in October during the Champions League T20, which left New South Wales without any Sheffield Shield matches due to the Sydney Sixers’ qualification for the international club tournament. He said Howard and the national selectors were doing a fair job of informing players of where they stood and how much they needed to prepare.”It’s so hard to have the cake and eat it. The Australian Test team’s playing 12 months a year, there’s no real perfect time to not be playing first-class cricket,” Clarke said. “I think what we’re doing really well, and Pat Howard deserves a lot of credit for this, is making sure the next group of players are still doing a lot of work against the red ball knowing we’ve got Test cricket, not only through the Australian summer but then we go to India.”Medical and fitness staff around the game have for some time pushed for the more liberal use of substitutes as a way of closing the gap between the formats. Howard said he would like to push further into that territory in domestic competitions but said he had no desire to tamper with the 11 v 11 traditions of Test matches.”I’m on the [Cricket Australia] playing conditions committee and there are very valid arguments, one for tradition, one sports science,” Howard said. “By no means would I want to test the fabric of Test cricket, that’s not what we’re here to do. There are traditions that are wonderful for the game.”But I think in terms of some of the statements [Victoria coach] Greg Shipperd has made around other versions or other formats, I am interested to have a look at it from a health and welfare position. But not Test cricket, that’s not going to change. You’d love to bring players back in to play more Shield cricket at different times without overexposing them at other times.”
