Shabnim Ismail, the South Africa pace bowler who is one of the quickest in the world, will return for a second season with the Sydney Thunder in the Women’s Big Bash.Ismail, who can push the speed gun past 125kph, took 10 wickets in 13 games last season for the Thunder but it was her economy rate of 5.88 which was particularly impressive. She was then South Africa’s leading wicket-taker in the T20 World Cup with five wickets in four matches.”In the WBBL, you’re playing with a lot of experienced players and against some of the best in the world, so it’s a great challenge,” Ismail said. “I’m a senior player for my country and in the Thunder squad as well so I try to lead by example. Having played for my country for 12 years, I enjoy passing on some of my experience and knowledge to the youngsters.”The Thunder coach Trevor Griffin said: “Shabnim was outstanding for us last season. She was our most economical bowler and her pace caused a lot of trouble for opposition batters. She was a real competitor in the field too – some of the fielding that she did was just at another level.”She’s the world’s third-ranked T20 bowler but one thing that I noticed about Shabnim last year is that she still wants to learn and she’s constantly looking at ways to get better.”The Thunder will be captained by Australia better Rachael Haynes and Ismail is their first confirmed overseas player for the new season.The WBBL is due to begin on October 17 and run until November 29 although there are expected to be changes to the schedule due to the impact of Covid-19 around the country.

James Pearce: "Fantastic" Liverpool player may miss 5 games with new injury

da cassino: As Jurgen Klopp battles to secure the perfect farewell against the odds at Anfield, Liverpool's injuries have quickly controlled the narrative in a season that may end in what could have been, with their latest blow hardly helping.

Liverpool injury news

da blaze casino: Liverpool's EFL Cup final victory over Chelsea, which relied on inexperience and academy graduates for the most part, both sums up the powers of Klopp and the Reds' season. It's been rare that they've had a full squad to choose from, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker all missing significant parts of the campaign.

Report: Liverpool now preparing to bid for £50m+ Real Madrid target

Michael Edwards isn’t messing around.

ByHenry Jackson Apr 16, 2024

Klopp at least has all three options back among his squad to choose from, but it comes at a time when his side looks mentally and physically exhausted after suffering back-to-back defeats against Atalanta and then Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Handing themselves an impossible task of reaching the Europa League's last four following a shock 3-0 defeat against Atalanta at Anfield, and then losing any advantage in the title race courtesy of Palace, the Reds were also handed a blow on the injury front with Conor Bradley limping off against Oliver Glasner's side last Sunday.

Now, according to James Pearce, Bradley will miss the next two to three weeks of action in a major blow for Liverpool, given how much of a revelation the youngster has been since coming into the side.

Klopp can at least feel relieved that Alexander-Arnold is now back fit at the perfect time to step back into his right-back role, but it once again delays the chances of the England international appearing in midfield for the Reds in what could play a part in turning their current form around.

Liverpool games that "fantastic" Bradley could miss

Potentially missing three weeks, Bradley will likely return around the first week of May to hand Liverpool a boost in their final two games against Aston Villa and then Wolverhampton Wanderers. Before then, however, the Northern Ireland international could miss five games in total for the Reds.

Klopp will be well aware of the talent that his side will be missing too, having praised Bradley back in January. The Liverpool boss said: "I'm not sure if Conor Bradley makes it home. He might fall asleep in the dressing room, exceptional. What a boy, a fantastic character, with intelligence, top potential.

"And he's in the right team because everybody loves him, everybody respects him, everybody wants him to succeed so it was a great game with all the difficulties of every football game.

"I was waiting for the moment we could give him an opportunity. Today was intense for him. Someone has to drive him home hopefully. He gave absolutely everything. It's really nice to see. He could show how good he already is. So much more to come."

Momento financeiro do Corinthians gera impasse sobre contratação de Renato Gaúcho

MatériaMais Notícias

da 888casino
Nome preferido para assumir o comando do Corinthians, Renato Gaúcho esbarra na questão financeira. Valorizado, por conta do trabalho de sucesso nos últimos quatro anos que esteve à frente do Grêmio, o treinador pode não se encaixar no padrão monetário do Timão, que vive momento de forte austeridade financeira, já que possui dívida próxima a R$ 1 bilhão.

da 888casino: De acordo com o que o LANCE! levantou, a pedida salarial do técnico neste momento gira em torno de R$ 600 e 700 mil, algo inviável para a realidade corintiana. Isso não significa que o valor já tenha chego a mesa da diretoria, mas tem a ver com a quantia apresentada em contatos recentes de outros clubes com Renato, entre eles o Santos, que, assim como o Alvinegro do Parque São Jorge, tinha o gaúcho como prioridade, após a saída de Ariel Holan.

A quantia estipulada pelo estafe de Renato Portaluppi é superior ao dobro do que recebia o ex-treinador do Timão, Vagner Mancini, demitido no último domingo (16), após eliminação na semifinal do Campeonato Paulista, contra o Palmeiras.

Em contato com a reportagem, pessoas próximas à direção do Corinthians disseram que um salário mensal de R$ 600 mil para um treinador é inviável no futebol brasileiro, dizendo, inclusive, que isso só seria possível em clubes com o Palmeiras, algo que poderia esbarrar nas questões fiscais do clube. Outros contatos foram além, também alertando sobre os custos da operação, como comissões e salário do corpo técnico, que poderia fazer com que a negociação saísse ainda mais cara e extrapolasse os cofres corintianos.

Ainda assim, o nome de Renato Gaúcho segue como prioridade no Parque São Jorge. A diretoria corintiana tentará esgotar todas as possibilidades de trazr o treinador dentro do orçamento do clube. Caso a negociação não tenha desfecho positivo para o clube, o estafe partirá para outros nomes que estão no radar. Uma “surpresa” também não é descartada.

PIF now eyeing move to sign “incredible” £75,000-a-week star for Newcastle

da blaze casino: Newcastle United are now eyeing a move to sign an “incredible” £75,000-a-week midfielder who is set to become a free agent this summer.

Newcastle transfer news

da fazobetai: Eddie Howe is expected to once again be backed in the transfer market in the summer window, and they have been linked with some impressive players in recent weeks despite the potential issues surrounding FFP.

Wolves centre-back Max Kilman has emerged as a target for Newcastle, as they look to tackle their defensive injury crisis, with the 26-year-old making 4.7 clearances and averaging 2.5 aerial duel wins per game across 31 Premier League appearances this season.

Max Kilman celebrates

Interest in Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has seemingly returned, too, with the England international likely to leave the Emirates at the end of this season. He is seen as someone who will provide strong competition for Nick Pope between the sticks, and potentially even be an upgrade over time.

Another Three Lions ace, Mark Guehi, is also an option to come in at St James' Park in the summer, with the central defender possibly moving on from Crystal Palace once the current campaign comes to an end and Newcastle in desperate need of centre-back additions.

Then there's Valencia midfielder Javi Guerra, who has been compared to Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich legend Xabi Alonso in terms of style, with the 20-year-old seen as a player who could add quality and long-term depth to Newcastle's midfield.

Newcastle eyeing "incredible" free agent

According to HITC, Newcastle are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi at the end of the season, with PIF "keeping tabs" on his situation as his contract ticks down.

They are far from the only club who are keen on snapping up the 27-year-old, however, with Tottenham, Aston Villa, Brighton and Wolves all "monitoring his situation".

Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

Ndidi has spent this season in the Championship with Leicester, helping them reach the top of the table with a handful of matches remaining, but the truth is that he is too good to be playing in the second tier of English football.

The Nigerian has two goals and five assists in the league this season, across 26 appearances, while Brendan Rodgers once waxed lyrical over him back in 2019: "He is an incredible player. The offensive players get the credit but he does the dirty work.

"He has this brain for the game, where he can smell danger and always finds himself there. The timing of his challenge is very good and he's up there with the top players at winning the ball back. When you play a pressing game you need someone like Wilf. His passing is good too, he's always smiling."

Newcastle must sell a player who's worth £77.5m less than Bruno Guimaraes

He’s been injured since early February.

ByEthan Lamb Apr 9, 2024

The level of Premier League interest in Ndidi shows what a formidable midfielder he is, and with Bruno Guimaraes potentially leaving St James' Park to balance the books, he could help fill the void, combining defensive nous (1.4 tackles per game in the Championship this season) with quality on the ball.

Marnus Labuschagne's 'phenomenal' growth the highlight for Andrew McDonald

Australia’s assistant coach said Labuschagne reached a level he had never seen before

ESPNcricinfo staff19-Apr-202025:46

‘IPL is No. 1 when it comes to quality of cricket’

The rise of Marnus Labuschagne into the prolific Test No. 3 who dominated the Australian home summer even surprised some who had seen him close at hand.In five Tests against Pakistan and New Zealand, Labuschagne scored 896 runs at 112.00 with four centuries including a maiden double at the SCG. It followed his dramatic return to the Test side during the Ashes as Steven Smith’s concussion replacement at Lord’s and two matches later he was handed the No. 3 spot which he has now made his own.Andrew McDonald watched Labuschagne’s monumental season at close quarters having been appointed as Justin Langer’s assistant coach at the start of the summer. Though he had studied Labuschagne during his time as Victoria’s head coach, McDonald admitted the player who emerged was beyond what could have been imagined.”The real surprise for me, and it’s been pretty well documented, was Marnus. His growth into that Test No. 3 position was phenomenal and great to witness,” McDonald told ESPNcricinfo’s One-on-One series. “I’ve done a fair bit of coaching against him at the state level and had never seen the level he has been able to play at and long may it be the case.”Labuschagne also had his first taste of ODI cricket earlier this year when he made his debut in India on the tour where McDonald stood in for Langer as head coach. Across seven ODIs, Labuschagne is already averaging 50.83 with a strike rate of 94.42 and made a maiden century against South Africa in Potchefstroom.Marnus Labuschagne celebrates his double-hundred•Getty Images

“He was good in the 50-over game batting in the middle order, him and Steve Smith, he’s a very good player of spin,” McDonald said. “So going forward to a World Cup in 2023 think he’ll be a part of that one-day team with a view to being on the big stage in 2023 assuming all goes well. His ability to play spin, fast bowling, rotate [strike], he’s a good fielder, so there’s a handy package there. A good find for the selectors who persisted with him – no one saw that, so full credit to those who picked him.”Australia’s ODI form during the 2019-2020 season – mostly away from home with series in India and South Africa – was poor as they suffered five defeats in a row before returning to winning ways against New Zealand at an empty SCG, in what became the final match of the Australian season as the coronavirus pandemic shut sport down.However, their T20I cricket was much more impressive as they comfortably defeated Sri Lanka and Pakistan early in the home summer before clinching a 2-1 victory in South Africa. The notable tactical shift at the start of the season was to play five frontline bowlers with left-arm spinner Ashton Agar at No. 7, putting the onus on specialists rather than allrounders, before Mitchell Marsh was recalled for the series in South Africa.McDonald suggested a flexible approach will continue as Australia look to build their T20 side – although the T20 World Cup in October is now in doubt due to the pandemic – and that the return of Glenn Maxwell to the top order would further bolster the options.”We’ve seen Australia play five out and out bowlers – two spinners and three quicks – and finish their batting at No. 6 with Agar at No. 7. In that combination you have five strong bowling options, so your all-round option in the top six isn’t that critical. Whereas if you flip it around and want to lengthen your batting slightly then clearly your allrounder becomes pivotal.”We’ve seen Mitch Marsh come back into the fold, so he looks as though he has a little handle on that position at the moment and there are some other options in Australian cricket as well. Glenn Maxwell is missing as well so he could be classified as a spin allrounder.”

Análise: Assim como no Dérbi, Mancini no Corinthians não foi bem quando mais precisou

MatériaMais Notícias

da brdice: A derrota do Corinthians por 2 a 0 para o Palmeiras neste domingo (16), pela semifinal do Campeonato Paulista, na Neo Química Arena, culminou na eliminação corintiana do Estadual e também na demissão do técnico Vagner Mancini do comando corintiano.

E o último jogo do Alvinegro sob o comando de Mancini diz muito sobre a relação entre clube e treinador.

da prosport bet: Diante do Verdão, o Corinthians entrou em campo no esquema 3-4-2-1, com uma saída de bola com três zagueiros, os laterais atuando como alas, dois volantes mais próximo da faixa central do que da primeira linha defensiva, dois meias perto da área e um centroavante de referência. Quando a posse era do time adversário, os alas auxiliavam o trio de zaga e a primeira linha passava a ter cinco jogadores. Esse esquema foi adotado por Mancini nos últimos quatro jogos e a equipe corintiana vinha mostrando evolução, principalmente através de atletas mais jovens que ganharam no “tapete verde” a posição de jogadores mais experientes, casos como os dos zagueiros João Victor e Raul, o lateral-esquerdo Lucas Piton e o atacante Cauê.

Contudo, contra o Palmeiras o Timão também escancarou algumas deficiências técnicas, como constantes erros de passes, na saída de bola e no meio-campo, dificuldade dos zagueiros fazerem a cobertura, frente a algumas situações nas quais tiveram que conter o rápido ataque palmeirense, e problemas em quebrar a última linha defensiva adversária e entrar na área.

Além dos erros técnicos, o revés no Dérbi também expôs decisões equivocadas que eram tomadas de forma recorrente por Mancini, a principal delas a insistência por Otero. Por mais que o venezuelano tenha uma grande boa vontade, ele não tem contribuído com o time, a não ser nos chutes de média e longa distância, que é a única arma do atleta para furar o bloqueio adversário.

Enquanto isso, Gustavo Mosquito ficou fora do time titular em mais um jogo importante do Corinthians nesta temporada, na semifinal do Paulistão, e quando entrou, após o intervalo da partida, mostrou que não pode ficar de fora. O camisa 19 foi o único corintiano que esboçou capacidade de quebrar a última linha palmeirense, com boa movimentação pelos extremos do campo e habilidade para alguns lances individuais, de puro improviso, sendo o responsável por criar a chance mais clara do Alvinegro, ao trazer da ponta direita para o meio e ser derrubado por Danilo dentro da área – porém, o meia Luan desperdiçou a cobrança de pênalti, quando o Corinthians já perdia por 2 a 0.

Assim como o desempenho corintiano no Dérbi, o trabalho de Vagner Mancini não foi de todo ruim, só não bom o suficiente para dar a competitividade a um time do tamanho do Corinthians. No clássico contra o Palmeiras, o Timão se postou bem taticamente, mas não foi impecável, teve falhas técnicas e, ao encarar um adversário superior, não conseguiu fazer frente. Foi assim a trajetória de Mancini frente ao Alvinegro, onde foi impecável nos objetivos menores, como brigar contra o rebaixamento no Brasileirão do ano passado e se classificar com louvor na primeira fase do Paulistão desta temporada, mas ficou aquém quando o crivo aumentou e precisou dar uma resposta positiva, por exemplo, para uma classificação à pré-Libertadores, via campeonato nacional, ou ter se classificado na primeira fase da Copa Sul-Americana.
