ScorecardJames Fuller’s career-best County Championship bowling figures and 99 from Ian Cockbain put Gloucestershire in a winning position on the second day at Bristol.Fuller claimed 5 for 29 from 10.4 overs as the visitors were bowled out for exactly 100 – their lowest score of the season – having begun the day on 73 for 7. That gave Gloucestershire a first innings lead of 120 and Cockbain ensured they built on it, striking 15 fours and a six in facing 130 balls. Will Gidman contributed 52 not out and brother Alex 40 as the hosts closed on 286 for 6, 406 in front.After 17 wickets fell on day one, bright sunshine suggested better fortunes for the batsmen, but there was no sign of it during the morning session. Northants were able to add only 27 runs as David Willey fell to Anthony Ireland and Fuller cleaned up the tail by sending back Jack Brooks and Luke Evans to complete his first five-wicket haul in the Championship.When Gloucestershire lost two wickets for as many runs at the start of their second innings a two-day finish looked possible. Ed Cowan contrived to run out partner Benny Howell with a poor call for a single and then fell to a catch at third slip, driving at a wide one from WilleyDan Housego (24) helped Alex Gidman steady the ship with a stand of 64 before also falling to a slip catch off Andrew Hall. At 70 for 4 when Alex Gidman was lbw playing across the line to Evans, Gloucestershire’s lead was only 190.Cockbain and Hamish Marshall then began to take the game away from Northants with a stand of 98, ended on the stroke of tea when Marshall fell to a sharp catch at point by Stephen Peters off Evans for 30.Cockbain has struck a rich vein of form recently with three half-centuries and a hundred in his last seven Championship innings. He looked set for three figures again when losing concentration and falling leg-before to Hall playing down the wrong line. By then Gloucestershire had 246 on the board and led by 366. But it was a crestfallen Cockbain who made his way slowly back to the pavilion, having mastered a pitch few batsmen looked at home on.Will Gidman piled on the agony for Northants with some meaty cover drives as the lead approached 400 on a near cloudless afternoon, reaching his fifty off 94 balls, with six fours to help put Gloucestershire in control.

Ali de Winter, Australia’s new bowling coach, says maintaining a balance on bowlers’ workload will keep them fresh in a busy international schedule

Brydon Coverdale03-Aug-2012During Australia’s one-day tour of England in June, James Pattinson spoke of the importance of Australia’s new bowling coach being a proven practitioner, a former international player who could teach the young bowlers from personal experience. There was no doubt that Pattinson, and many of his fast-bowling colleagues, enjoyed having Craig McDermott around the group over the previous year and thrived under his guidance.Less than two months later, Cricket Australia has appointed McDermott’s replacement: Ali de Winter, who was the stand-in bowling coach on that England tour. He does not have international playing experience, nor even a great deal of first-class experience – in 21 first-class matches for Tasmania he collected 35 wickets at an average of 50.51. But he is a career coach, a man who has honed his teaching skills over a decade, internationally and in Australia.He is also far from the only international bowling coach to be drawn from the first-class sphere: David Saker (England), Joe Dawes (India) and Damien Wright (New Zealand) did not reach international level and are now in charge of Test attacks. Cricket Australia had no doubts that de Winter was the right man for the job – the Pakistan champion Waqar Younis also applied – but de Winter is aware there will be plenty of people who will take convincing, just as Pattinson had done.”I read that with interest,” de Winter said of Pattinson’s comments. “But to James’ credit he came to me straight away and he wanted to talk through that. To me, that showed a sign of maturity. By the end of the four weeks we were on the same page and we were good mates, we could share information and we had started to build up that trust and he was really supportive of me going forward with the process and he’s really looking forward to working with me now.”I think there will be people who will say that the bowling coach needs to have been there and done it. I’m a career coach, so I don’t necessarily believe that. I’ve got a lot of trust and faith in the experience that I’ve had internationally and here with Cricket Tasmania. I think it will be an issue to some people. I think the pressure will come on if the bowling group don’t start to show that they’re improving. But it doesn’t matter to me. It matters to some.”Pattinson is one member of a very promising group of young Australian fast bowlers who will be working with de Winter on a full-time basis now, along with the likes of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc. But one of de Winter’s major challenges will be to work with the team’s medical staff to keep the young attack fit, which over the past year has proven harder than expected.Pattinson, 22, picked up an abdominal strain during the England tour and has also had back and foot complaints since making his Test debut in December. Cummins, 19, was sent home from England with a side strain and also suffered a foot injury over the summer, and keeping both young men on the field will be critical to Australia’s plans over the next 12 months leading up to next year’s Ashes.”I think their actions are both pretty sound,” de Winter said. “There’s little bits of tinkering you can do along the way but they’ve got to where they are because their actions are good and they’re able to execute skill. That’s one thing we don’t have to worry about. The focus should be on having them physically fit enough and prepared as best as they can be.”That means maintenance on their strength and their fitness all the way along, as well as getting good treatment and recovery. That’s a difficult thing to balance in such a busy schedule. We need to maybe target bowlers that are better at one form of the game and have them more available for Test cricket if that’s what it is, or one-day cricket if that’s what it is, because in this climate we’re in now it’s very difficult to play all forms, all the time.”We’ve got to find a strategy to make sure that we have less injuries. With such a busy schedule in the next 12 to 18 months I think we need to jump on that pretty quickly. People have talked about rotating the bowlers through at different times and I think that’s worth consideration. But you can only rotate if you’ve got good players to come in.”The national selectors have already shown their hand in that regard by leaving Pattinson out of their Twenty20 plans, but rotation will become more of an issue with a heavy schedule over the next year including the ICC World Twenty20, home Test series against South Africa and Sri Lanka and a Test tour of India ahead of the Ashes, not to mention one-day internationals scattered throughout.De Winter hopes that keeping the bowlers strong will also help them to become more physically intimidating, which is often a key feature of the best attacks. Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris, James Pattinson and Ben Hilfenhaus can display that kind of hostility, but de Winter wants to instil that aggression in the entire bowling group.”There’s a certain amount of aggression in that group,” he said. “That’s only four [bowlers] of maybe a dozen or 15. What I would like to see is that everybody has that mindset of being aggressive and strong and have a physical presence on the ground, which at the moment is what the South Africans are doing and what the English appear to be doing.”Australia’s bowling attack is probably not the most feared in world cricket and for a long, long time we had that aura about our bowling group. I think that’s something we should want to strive to get back to. I think we can change the physical culture in our bowling group and make sure that we’re the strongest and fittest going around. With that comes confidence.”And plenty of people will gain confidence in de Winter if he can achieve that.

Scorecard
Jamaica made it six wins out of six by completing a clinical victory over Combined Campuses and Colleges in Bridgetown, Barbados. It was a team effort from Jamaica, with a string of useful contributions from the batsmen taking them to decent totals, and the bowlers hunting in packs to dismiss CCC cheaply.CCC were set a target of 321 runs, a tough ask in a season in which the highest fourth-innings total to win a game is 219. They managed to last only 56.1 overs and were all out for 166 early on the fourth morning. Legspinner Odean Brown picked up a five-wicket haul as CCC lost their last five wickets for only 23 runs.CCC had a chance to put Jamaica under pressure after bowling them out for 200 on the first day. Medium-pacers Jason Dawes and Jason Holder had taken three wickets each to inflict the damage. However, CCC failed to capitalise and crashed to 137 all out. Shacaya Thomas, who scored 78, was the only batsman who showed resistance against Jamaica’s persistent bowling attack.With a 63-run deficit to deal with, CCC were unable to restrict Jamaica’s top order, with Tamar Lambert getting a half-century. Although no one else got to 50, each of the top five made contributions, and Jamaica added enough runs to take the game away from CCC. Ryan Austin bagged five wickets but he too struggled to curtail the scoring and gave away 89 runs.Jamaica will face Guyana in the semi-finals, in Kingston from March 30.

Das mãos do gerente executivo de futebol Ricardo Gomes, o paraguaio Derlis González recebeu a camisa 17 do Santos e contou, em entrevista coletiva de apresentação, qual seu estilo de jogo e o que pode fazer para ajudar a equipe nos próximos meses. O novo atacante do Peixe promete, inclusive, superar os bons números do conterrâneo Romero, do rival Corinthians, com quem conversou antes de ser apresentado pelo Alvinegro Praiano.

-Somos companheiros de seleção (paraguaia), compatriota e amigo. Desde que ele soube da possibilidade, me deu uma boa impressão, falou da liga competitiva, e nós sabemos todos. Tomei a decisão de vir ao Santos e sabemos que é uma liga competitiva, uma equipe que pode me ajudar a voltar à seleção – disse Derlis, e completou:

– Venho para alcançá-lo e ser melhor que ele. Para que os paraguaios fiquem felizes como no outro clube – ponderou. Na temporada, Romero tem 35 jogos disputados pelo Corinthians e 11 gols marcados, é o artilheiro da equipe alvinegra.

Derlis González foi contratado junto ao Dínamo de Kiev, da Ucrânia, em trama que envolveu a ida de Vitor Bueno para o clube europeu. O paraguaio chega para ocupar as posições de ataque – uma das mais carentes é a de centroavante, já que Gabriel e Eduardo Sasha têm se revezado na função, mas são pontas de origem. Aos 24 anos, Derlis diz que pode fazer as vezes de camisa 9.

– Comecei jogando de centroavante, em Rubio Ñu, com 15 anos. Fui para Guaraní de centroavante, Olimpia de centroavante… Em 2017, minha posição mudou, me colocaram pela direita. Fui para Dínamo, onde me utilizaram na esquerda. Posso jogar nessas posições. A que eu mais gosto é de meia ponta (segundo atacante) – explicou o novo jogador do Peixe.

Confira outros pontos da entrevista coletiva de Derlis González:

Momento do Santos e conhecimento sobre o clube
Conheço o Santos e me lembro de pequeno da equipe de Ganso e Neymar, que eliminaram Cerro Portenho na Libertadores de 2011. Conheço a história, Pelé, o maior, Robinho, Neymar e muitos outros. Sei que a instituição é grande e de muita história. Espero representar bem.

Pressionado? Não sei. Desde que cheguei vi um grupo muito bom, com bons jogadores. A situação é normal, não só no Santos, mas sou confiante em sair dessa situação e com o grupo que temos vamos chegar aos nossos objetivos traçados.

Tempo necessário para poder jogar
Eu estive de férias quando acabou o Campeonato Ucraniano, treinei com a seleção e previmos um amistoso contra o Japão, não fui por causa de uma pequena lesão. Mas hoje estou bem e quero estar pronto rapidamente, vai depender do departamento médico e de como me verem no campo.

Negociação difícil
Foi uma negociação muito larga, passaram de 10 dias, mas importante para mim e todos que chegamos a um acordo e eu estou aqui, muito feliz em um clube tão grande e espero retribuir a confiança, a diretoria, a torcida, e as pessoas que me receberam muito bem. É treinar forte para estar à disposição rapidamente.

Ben Stokes, the England and Durham allrounder, will be out for around six months after undergoing surgery on his right index finger

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Nov-2011

Ben Stokes, the England and Durham allrounder, will be out of cricket for around six months after undergoing surgery on his right index finger in the USA. He is expected to return to action for the start of the 2012 County Championship season.Stokes had picked up a complex fracture dislocation in his finger during a County Championship match between Durham and Lancashire in May and had undergone surgery then, but his finger failed to heal completely despite extensive rehabilitation and he was unable to resume bowling. In the meantime, he made his England debut, in an ODI against Ireland in August, and played four matches during the home one-day series against India. He was left out of the squad for the tour of India so that he could undergo the surgery, and will now be out for six months.The initial healing phase following the operation will be approximately three months and then there will be a further three months of graded recovery and rehabilitation. The lay-off means Stokes will miss England’s series against Pakistan in the UAE early next year.”My priority now will be to work hard on my rehabilitation over the next six months,” Stokes said. “I want to make sure I am fully fit and available to start next season.”

In another demonstration of their improving record overseas, a weakened India closed in on what will only be their fifth Test win in the Caribbean

Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were outPraveen Kumar’s two strikes on the fourth morning put India on course for a win•Associated PressIn another demonstration of their improving record overseas, a weakened India eased to only their fifth Test win in the Caribbean. The resistance from West Indies was disappointingly limp at Sabina Park as they lost six of the seven remaining wickets in the morning session. Praveen Kumar, sporting a buzz cut, snapped the home side’s resolve by removing both overnight batsmen, Darren Bravo and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, in the first half hour. There were some big hits from Darren Sammy and Ravi Rampaul, but they merely delayed an Indian victory.Smart stats

India’s 63-run win is their second in Jamaica and their fifth Test victory in the West Indies. The number of wins in West Indies (5) brings it level with their number of wins in Australia, England and New Zealand.

Praveen Kumar’s match figures of 6 for 80 is the third-best by an Indian bowler in a Test win in West Indies. BS Chandrasekhar’s 8 for 208 in the six-wicket win in Trinidad in 1976 is the best bowling performance by an Indian bowler in a win in the West Indies.

Ishant Sharma’s match haul of 6 for 110 is third on the list of his best bowling performances in a match in Tests. His finest is 7 for 58 against New Zealand in Nagpur in 2010.

Among captains who have led in at least 25 Tests, MS Dhoni has the best win-loss ratio (5.00). He is followed by Steve Waugh (4.55) and Mike Brearley (4.50). Dhoni has now led in five away-Test wins bringing him joint-second on the list of Indian captains with most wins in away Tests.

The 74 runs added by West Indies for the last two wickets is the second-highest aggregate for wickets nine and ten in Tests in Jamaica. Their highest is 98 against Australia in 1990-91.

The resolve the West Indian batsmen showed on the third evening didn’t make an appearance on Thursday. The Indian bowlers weren’t particularly threatening early on, regularly providing harmless leg-side deliveries. One of those broke the stand that had frustrated India for nearly two hours, with Bravo losing his leg stump after walking across to try and guide the ball to fine leg. In Praveen’s next over, he had Chanderpaul chipping a catch to cover as the ball, after causing a cloud of dust on pitching, came on slower than the batsman expected.West Indies’ chances evaporated with those two strikes, and Harbhajan Singh made it worse, removing birthday boy Carlton Baugh for a duck. Sammy wasn’t going to give up, though. He was struck on the forearm by a kicker from Harbhajan, which prompted him to attack. Some blacksmith-swings sent the final three deliveries of the over for leg-side sixes, with the last two flying into the second tier at least. The entertainment ended with Amit Mishra’s first delivery, a tossed-up, over-pitched ball that Sammy wanted to send out of the ground but sent only as far as extra cover.Brendan Nash, the vice-captain who has been desperately short of runs over the home summer, restricted himself to defensive nudges. When he attempted one of his first enterprising strokes, a pull off a short ball from Mishra, he was horrified to see the ball scoot through impossibly low to be trapped plumb lbw.Ravi Rampaul gave the few fans that turned up something to cheer about with a series of swept and driven boundaries, the highlight of which was an inside-out six over extra cover off Harbhajan. Like Nash, he too was done in by a ball of unpredictable bounce, from Ishant: it took off from a length and had him gloving it to MS Dhoni, who leapt acrobatically to take a one-handed catch over his head.The last pair kept out the final seven deliveries before lunch, and then kept India waiting for half an hour after the break. With the specialists unable to finish things off, Dhoni turned to the part-time offspin of Suresh Raina, who needed only two deliveries to bowl Bishoo and secure a 1-0 series lead.

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsMuttiah Muralitharan helped Sri Lanka ease past New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium•Getty Images

Sri Lanka’s old guard combined to ease to a 112-run victory over New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium. Kumar Sangakkara made his first ODI century since June 2008, supported by a controversial 66 from Mahela Jayawardene, to haul Sri Lanka up to 265 before Muttiah Muralitharan spun New Zealand to defeat with 4 for 25.Coming into the tournament as one of the favourites, Sri Lanka have not quite convinced so far and but for their three most experienced players might have struggled again. Instead the finish was the kind of one-sided result that has epitomised Group A.New Zealand, though, will rue their misfortune when Jayawardene was reprieved at a critical moment. Sri Lanka had lost both openers and were struggling to get on top of the New Zealand slow bowlers when, in the 24th over, Jayawardene chipped a return catch to Nathan McCullum.It went low to McCullum’s right and the bowler dived full-length to scoop the ball centimetres off the turf. The batsman stood his ground and the decision was sent upstairs. Side-on replays seemed to clearly show McCullum’s fingers under the ball but a front-on shot, as it so often does, created doubt that the third umpire, Amiesh Saheba, ruled on. Before then Jayawardene had scrambled for 50 deliveries to make 26 but silkily added a further 40 at a run a ball and Sri Lanka never looked back.Sangakkara helped himself to a century that he’s been waiting 64 matches for. Looking typically unhurried, he was content to work the ball around early on before unfurling some of the stylish strokes that are his hallmark as the innings went on. One six, eased down the ground off Scott Styris, told of a batsman in total

Smart stats

• The 145-run partnership between Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene is the second-highest for Sri Lanka against New Zealand in a World Cup match.

• Sangakkara and Jayawardene have put together 4724 partnership runs in ODIs, which is the highest by a non-opening pair. This was also their tenth century partnership in ODIs, which puts them in second place, next only to the Sachin Tendulkar-Rahul Dravid pair, who have 11.

• In World Cups, this was their third century partnership in ten innings, but the first against a Test-playing team. Only three other non-opening pairs have got three hundred stands in World Cups.

• The 112-run margin of victory is Sri Lanka’s third-highest against New Zealand.

• Muttiah Muralitharan’s bowling returns of 4 for 25 is his second-best in World Cups, next only to his 4 for 19 against Ireland in 2007.

• New Zealand’s total of 153 is their fourth-lowest in a World Cup match, and their poorest against Sri Lanka.

control. The verbal exchanges that Jayawardene got involved with after his escape only served to fire him up and he was soon exhibiting the fluent form that had deserted him since his century against Canada in Sri Lanka’s opening game.The pair added 145 and the importance of the stand was demonstrated by what followed. Sangakkara rushed to his century with four boundaries in six deliveries but was out soon after for 111. Following his dismissal Sri Lanka lost five wickets for 55 in the final 8.2 overs. That they even got so many was almost entirely down to Angelo Mathews, who swatted 41 from 35 balls to thwart New Zealand’s fightback.In the end, the collapse was irrelevant but in the knockout stages, opposition teams will know beneath Sri Lanka’s top order is a soft underbelly waiting to be exposed. New Zealand would have backed themselves to make a better fist of chasing but – despite dew, on a ground that will host the World Cup final, hampering the Sri Lanka spinners – Muralitharan and Mendis choked them into submission.The early work was done by the quicks when Brendon McCullum was given out by the TV umpire after Jayawardene, of all people, claimed a low catch off Mathews. There was some uncertainty as the take was almost spilled at the last moment. TV replays were not entirely certain but, unlike the first time, the right decision was made and McCullum was sent on his was for 14. After Guptill fell for 13, Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor threatened to make a match of it but the spinners took over.Mendis’ mystery may have faded with exposure but his variations proved too much for Ryder who nibbed a carrom-ball behind for a 23-ball 19. Muralitharan’s introduction had been delayed after he picked up an injury while batting. Despite hobbling around, he was still devastating when he finally got into the attack in the 18th over.A doosra took care of Kane Williamson for 5 before he landed the killer blow by spinning one back into Taylor’s pads. Despite a big stride and a review, Taylor was rightly given out for 33 and his team never looked like competing. Scott Styris chipped a return catch to Muralitharan, who belied his injury to spring up and snaffle the chance, and Nathan McCullum and James Franklin soon followed. Between them Mendis and Muralitharan took six wickets for 49 in 14 overs.Unlike the frenzied excitement in Group B, the qualifiers in Group A are already settled. Sri Lanka are guaranteed to finish second whatever happens between Australia and Pakistan, which might well leave them in line for a contest against the World Cup mysterybox, England, in the quarter finals.

The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Division One final between Habib Bank Limited and Pakistan International Airlines in Karachi was marred by controversy

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jan-2011The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy Division One final between Habib Bank Limited and Pakistan International Airlines in Karachi was marred by controversy as four players were fined a total of nearly $2,000 for ball tampering, slow over-rates and use of abusive language during the game.HBL, who were crowned champions, beat PIA by five wickets with Aftab Alam anchoring the chase of 235 on the final day with a determined century. The day-night game was an unprecedented event in Pakistan first-class cricket and was hotly-contested with lots of chatter between the players and accusations of ball-tampering. However, the trigger for the uneasy atmosphere on the field, though, appeared to have been poor umpiring for a major part of the game.PIA were fined 75,000 rupees ($875) since they bowled 15 overs short, while HBL, who were eight overs behind schedule, were fined 33,000 ($390). Najaf Shah, the PIA left-arm fast bowler, was found guilty of ball tampering and fined 15,000 rupees ($175). Similar fines were imposed on PIA captain Kamran Sajid, who made two half-centuries in the final, and middle-order batsman Fahad Iqbal for showing dissent to the umpires. In addition to the fine, Iqbal was also banned for two one-dayers. HBL batsman Shan Masood was fined 8,000 rupees ($95) for also showing dissent.
