The opener made a timely hundred against the pink ball following Usman Khawaja’s fitness problems in the first Ashes Test

AAP23-Nov-2025

Matt Renshaw’s golden summer continued with a magnificent 112 in front of Australia selector Tony Dodemaide at the Gabba.His innings drove Queensland to 352 for 7 at stumps on day two of the top-of-the-table Sheffield Shield clash after Victoria had declared late on the opening day.Renshaw had made scores of 128, 29, 101 and 51 in the Shield before Sunday’s knock. He also had a consistent ODI series against India which included an accomplished 56 in Sydney.Related

Runs are runs and Renshaw has filled his cup with them. The 29-year-old doesn’t have to do anything more to convince Australia selectors that he is ready for a return to the Test arena. All he needs is an opportunity.”I’m just keeping it really simple and having a lot of fun out there and having good intent,” Renshaw told AAP. “It’s been a good start and hopefully it amounts to something at the end of March. I will keep trying to put in performances to help win games for Queensland. I’m just concentrating on what I can control and that is trying to do my job for the team.”There is doubt over who will open in the second Test of the Ashes series at the Gabba, which starts on Thursday-week.Usman Khawaja’s back spasms in the first Test have put him in some doubt while Travis Head’s blistering century as opener has also put him in the frame to stay at the top of the order alongside Perth debutant Jake Weatherald.Renshaw now has 421 Shield runs for the summer, putting him on top of the aggregate list with 19 runs more than Marnus Labuschagne.He was patient early in his innings against Victoria before finding a more aggressive tempo and his drives down the ground were exquisite. Once Renshaw reached his half-century the runs started to flow all around the ground.He brought up his century with a controlled cut for three off spinner Todd Murphy. A healthy contingent at the Vulture St end of the ground gave him a rapturous reception, realising what a vital innings it was in the context of the summer.His stay ended when he nicked a delivery that just moved away from Fergus O’Neill, who toiled manfully all day with his tight lines.Renshaw received solid support from Angus Lovell in an 88-run opening stand and Hugh Weibgen.Former Australia Under-19 captain Weibgen, playing his second Shield match, looks a promising prospect with his classy strokeplay and composure. The tall 21-year-old will play for the Prime Minister’s XI against an England XI in a two-day, pink-ball match that starts on November 29 in Canberra.He was caught in a juggling effort by Mitchell Perry trying to loft Murphy over the long-on boundary.Lachie Hearne (47) continued the momentum until he was brilliantly caught on the deep midwicket boundary by Campbell Kellaway.

Vitória incontestável

– Um grande jogo. Um jogo digno da grandeza do Fla-Flu, da qualidade técnica das duas equipes, de uma grande apresentação. E um resultado inconteste. Não dá para avaliar os números agora, não tem jeito. A adrenalina fica projetando uma semifinal ainda aberta. – disse Tite 

Satisfeito com o desempenho, Tite exaltou a superioridade do Flamengo na partida, tanto no ataque quanto na defesa. O técnico completou falando sobre a boa relação que tem com o elenco.

– Tem uma relação de profissionais que são transparentes e leais. Que querem trabalhar. E querem merecer através do trabalho. Não quer tirar nada do adversário ou de arbitragem, mas também não quer que ninguém tire o que é seu. É um direito que ela tem. Ela procura dentro do trabalho se fazer merecedora. Às vezes o jogo do desempenho não é o jogo do placar, mas às vezes se traduz. Não temos familiares, temos um grupo extraordinário -, finalizou.

⚽ COMO FOI A PARTIDA?

Na etapa inicial, Flamengo e Fluminense fizeram um clássico movimentado. O Flamengo começou a partida dominando. No início, o destaque foi para Everton Cebolinha, que teve velocidade e inteligência para encontrar espaços na defesa. Sem espaços, o Tricolor só assustou o Flamengo aos 12, mas levou um contra-ataque que quase terminou em gol de Pedro.

A partir dos 30, o Flamengo voltou a controlar a partida e, aos 46, abriu o placar. Após transição rápida, Pulgar cruzou na cabeça de Cebolinha, que cabeceou para o fundo das redes.

No segundo tempo, o Flamengo seguiu dominando. Mesmo com a melhora Tricolor após a entrada de Lima, o Rubro-negro continuou com a posse de bola e a iniciativa. Após a lesão de Ayrton Lucas, a equipe de Tite começou a jogar mais pelo meio.

Sem Thiago Santos, expulso após falta duríssima em Cebolinha, o Fluminense passou a administrar a derrota por pouco, já visando o segundo jogo, que acontece no próximo sábado. No fim, após um cruzamento incrível de Arrascaeta, Pedro deu números finais à partida.

Fluminense e Red Bull Bragantino empataram em 2 a 2 neste sábado (13), no Maracanã, na estreia dos times no Brasileirão 2024. Os gols tricolores foram ambos marcados por Lima, enquanto Eduardo Sasha e Thiago Borbas fizeram pelo Massa Bruta.

O Fluminense foi superior ao Bragantino por quase toda a partida, sobretudo no primeiro tempo. No entanto, os 15 minutos iniciais da segunda etapa – único momento em que os visitantes controlaram o jogo – foram suficientes para que o Massa Bruta marcasse dois gol, virando a partida naquela momento. O Tricolor voltou a se impor, mas conseguiu apenas empatar o duelo.

⚽ COMO FOI A PARTIDA?
Depois de um início equilibrado, o Fluminense conseguiu controlar posse de bola e criou as melhores chances, sobretudo pelos pés de Ganso. Chutes de fora da área ajudaram o time a ter um bom volume de finalizações, mostrando evolução em relação aos últimos jogos. A recompensa veio já nos acréscimos da primeira etapa, quando Ganso aproveitou a desorganização da defesa do Bragantino e cobrou escanteio rápido, encontrando Lima livre para marcar.

Na volta do intervalo, foi a zaga tricolor que teve problemas. Pedro Caixinha promoveu quatro mudanças antes do segundo tempo, e a marcação do Fluminense demorou a se encontrar. Assim, o Bragantino empatou com Eduardo Sasha e virou com Thiago Borbas em menos de seis minutos. Após a pressão dos visitantes, o Flu retomou o controle da partida e chegou ao empate mais uma vez com Lima, agora em chute de longe que, após desvio, encobriu o goleiro Lucão.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is believed to be a huge admirer of one PSG star, as the Gunners and sporting director Andrea Berta lead initial talks for his signature ahead of January.

After a near-£270 million spend on new signings last summer, Arsenal are already in dreamland.

Arteta’s side sit pretty atop the Premier League table, boasting the best defence in Europe’s top five leagues with just three goals conceded in all competitions.

They’re also top of the pile in England for goals scored from set pieces with 11 so far.

Arsenal’s unbeaten run in all competitions since defeat to Liverpool

Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest

Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Arsenal

Arsenal 1-1 Man City

Port Vale 0-2 Arsenal

Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal

Arsenal 2-0 Olympiacos

Arsenal 2-0 West Ham

Fulham 0-1 Arsenal

Arsenal 4-0 Atlético Madrid

Arsenal 1-0 Crystal Palace

Arsenal 2-0 Brighton

While some critics are bemoaning this statistic and lambasting Arsenal’s ‘boring’ style of play, Arteta and supporters alike won’t care in the slightest if they get to celebrate the club’s first league crown in 22 years at the end of 2025/2026.

So far, that looks like a very serious possibility, with current champions Liverpool currently on a torrid run of form and Arsenal looking like the team to beat.

Whichever way you look at it, the fact Arsenal haven’t conceded a single goal in all competitions since their dramatic 2-1 win at Newcastle is quite simply astounding.

The arrivals of Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie in the summer have also ensured that Arteta has quality cover for William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes — who are two of the best centre-backs in Europe — if one or both of the duo succumb to injury.

Mosquera has impressed when called upon by Arsenal in Saliba’s stead, and depending on the latter’s fitness status, Berta’s recruit is potentially set for another run in the team.

Make no mistake, Arsenal are shored up defensively, but the same cannot be said for other areas of the squad.

With the long-term futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard uncertain (both of their contracts expire in 2027), Arsenal are believed to be weighing up the possibility of signing a left-winger in the near future.

In centre-midfield, Arsenal are one serious injury to Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi or Mikel Merino away from a potential problem, with Christian Norgaard not there for the long-term by his own admission.

Arsenal hold 'preliminary talks' over PSG star Fabian Ruiz

According to reports in Spain, Berta and co are targeting PSG midfielder Fabian Ruiz as an option for the engine room.

The former Napoli star was a firm regular of Luis Enrique’s treble-winning side last season, making 61 appearances in all competitions whilst bagging eight goals and 11 assists to boot.

His brace against Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup helped PSG to the final, before they lost to Chelsea, with Ruiz maintaining his place in Enrique’s side this season before picking up a groin injury.

Ruiz has missed their last six matches as a result, but while the Spain international sits on the sidelines, Arsenal are believed to be plotting a move.

Arteta personally “dreams” of signing the 29-year-old, as per this latest murmur from the continent, and it is also claimed that Arsenal have held “preliminary” talks over signing Ruiz.

With the midfielder’s contract expiring in under two years, PSG have set a price tag of around £44 million — which could be obtainable from Berta’s perspective.

That being said, Enrique definitely won’t be keen on losing a player who’s one of the key cogs in his midfield machine.

The left-footed ace can play as a defensive anchor, a traditional centre-midfielder and in the number 10 role — adding to the appeal — but a lot will depend on Ruiz’s stance when it comes to leaving the champions of Europe.

Falei com investigadores independentes e razoáveis que não pareceram estar torcendo por clube nenhum. É muita informação, são meses de coleta de dados. É muito o início de um processo muito saudável

John Textor entrou no Estádio Nilton Santos afirmando que tem “provas completas” de manipulação de resultados no futebol brasileiro. Além disso, o empresário estdunidense criticou a atuação do Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD).

– Estou tentando há muito tempo entregar provas para pessoas que se importam com isso. Eu mandei para o STJD, eles continuam falando que eu não entreguei provas. Eu entreguei há semanas provas completas de manipulação de resultados. Os nomes foram omitidos para proteger a identidade dos jogadores envolvidos. Eu me importo com a lei. Se alguém está envolvido num escândalo de manipulação, essa pessoa também tem direitos. Não consigo entender como o STJD, que tem processos não confidenciais, continua pedindo provas – criticou o empresário. E emendou:

– Essa empresa (Good Game!) é uma das que têm maior credibilidade nessa área no mundo. Eles estavam aqui antes de eu chegar, olharam dois anos de dados antes de eu conhecê-los. (…) Vocês deveriam olhar o nome da minha empresa que se tornou Fubo, foi a empresa em que ganhei dinheiro para poder comprar um clube. O nome da empresa era Evolution AI Corporation (Evolução Inteligência Artifical). Se vocês não queriam mudança, não trouxessem um cara que fez seu dinheiro com inteligência artificial.

Textor ainda pontuou que não acusou Leila Pereira nem sobre o Palmeiras.

– Eu deixei muito claro que não fiz acusações sobre a Leila, ela deveria parar de se comportar como se estivesse sendo atacada. Eu não fiz acusações sobre o Palmeiras. Quando as pessoas manipulam esses jogos, pela visão do computador, eu posso provar como, mas eu não posso provar por quê. Eu não sei quem paga quem ou se estão fazendo isso de graça.

The hosts were stuck on their own surface, posting 109 for 7 which was overhauled with 17 balls to spare

ECB Media24-Aug-2025

Birmingham Phoenix 113 for 3 (Duckett 49*, Clarke 40) beat Manchester Originals 109 for 7 (Klaasen 34, Livingstone 2-11) by seven wicketsBirmingham Phoenix produced a polished display to thrash Manchester Originals by seven wickets at Emirates Old Trafford and move up to fourth in the table.The Phoenix have struggled for consistency in the tournament, and their defeat to Welsh Fire on Friday evening ended any hope of qualifying for the knockout phase, but a disciplined performance in the field and a clinical partnership of 72 from 45 balls between Ben Duckett (49 not out from 38) and Joe Clarke (40 from 21) delivered a consolation victory.Set just 110 to win, Will Smeed nicked off to Sonny Baker for 13 but it was plain sailing thereafter, Clarke announcing his arrival with three consecutive boundaries off his Nottinghamshire teammate Josh Tongue before dispatching Ish Sodhi for a slog-swept six.Duckett had been more circumspect but came to the party by taking 14 off Sodhi’s second set and the Phoenix wasted no time in racing to their target, Tongue’s dismissals of Clarke and Liam Livingstone only delaying the inevitable as victory was secured with 17 balls to spare.Earlier, the Originals had made a positive start after winning the toss and electing to bat. Phil Salt (31 from 20) hit Adam Milne for a six and a four in the second set, and belted two maximums off Trent Boult in the third, but Liam Patterson-White got the breakthrough when he clean bowled Ben McKinney for 2 with an arm ball and the hosts badly lost their way when Salt followed, caught at long-on by Duckett off Jacob Bethell.Jos Buttler came and went for 5, trapped lbw by the excellent Livingstone (2 for 11), and wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, with Heinrich Klaasen (34 from 35) unable to fully unleash his range of shots on a slow surface that played into the hands of the Phoenix spinners.The South African was eventually caught in the deep off Chris Wood (2-11) in the penultimate set and the Originals could only muster 109-7, ultimately slipping to a fifth defeat in seven, bottom of the table on net run rate, as their formidable batting line-up again failed to fire.Clarke, named the Meerkat Match Hero, said: “I feel in good rhythm and have good confidence, so it was nice to contribute to a win.”The pitch had been used a few times so it was slightly on the slower side. I felt like once the seamers were on I could inject pace into it and it helped having Ben at the other end who could knock it around and run hard.On the partnership with Duckett, he added: “We wanted to stick to our strengths. He’s a very good player of spin, he hits gas really well, and it was about limiting dot balls. We’ve played cricket together for a long, long time, so it’s nice to be out there in the middle with him.”

Newcastle United have now held internal talks over signing Atalanta midfielder Ederson, amid concerns over Joelinton, who has suffered a dip in form.

Widespread reports have suggested Joelinton’s chances of going to the World Cup with Brazil have taken a hit, given that he has struggled so far this season, most recently putting in a poor performance in the 3-1 defeat against West Ham United.

Indeed, the Magpies’ poor start to the Premier League season continued at the London Stadium, and the 29-year-old recorded a SofaScore match rating of just 6.1, having failed to record a shot on target throughout the entire match.

It is not the first time the Brazilian has struggled this season either, being described as “tough to watch” as a result of his performance in the 2-1 defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion last month.

Eddie Howe clearly needs to make changes of some description to turn his side’s fortunes around, considering they are now 13th in the Premier League table, and it has now been revealed that a move for a new midfielder is being considered…

Newcastle hold internal talks over deal for Ederson

According to a report from The i, Newcastle have had doubts about Joelinton since the summer, with some key figures suggesting they need to bring in a new midfielder to replace the former Hoffenheim man, given his issues with injuries.

Atalanta midfielder Ederson is one of the players who has been discussed internally in recruitment meetings as a potential replacement for the Brazil international, having originally emerged as a transfer target nearly two years ago.

It may be a little hasty to give up on Joelinton, given that he has impressed at times this season, being singled out for a solid display in the 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest at the beginning of October.

However, competition for places is healthy, and the Atalanta star could have what it takes to succeed at St. James’ Park, having been described as “world-class” by one former professional.

That said, there are some indications the 26-year-old would not be much of an upgrade on his compatriot, given that the Newcastle midfielder has outperformed him across some key metrics for midfielders over the past year.

As such, Joelinton may be a more well-rounded midfielder than the Campo Grande-born maestro, and Howe is clearly an admirer, previously saying: “Joelinton is like gold dust because wherever you put him, you know he’s going to do a good job.”

That said, if the central midfielder’s performances don’t improve before January, it could be worth bringing in a new midfielder, and Ederson isn’t the only option on the shortlist…
