Owais Shah anger at lack of BPL payment

The issue of player payments at the Bangladesh Premier League has cropped up again this year after Owais Shah complained he hasn’t yet received the first instalment (25 percent) of his $75,000 paycheck.Shah, who plays for Dhaka Gladiators, received the remittance slip from the BCB but the amount hasn’t been credited into his account. ESPNcricinfo has also been told that Shah is just one of many players not to have been paid.”I have received the remittance slip via email but nothing has arrived in the last four days,” Shah said. “I don’t know where the money is, and it is a pretty embarrassing situation.”The BCB sent the remittance slip on January 24, but said they didn’t receive signed players’ agreement papers for any of Gladiators’ overseas players in time. “Without the player agreement papers, it is not possible for the BCB to process bank transfer of fees to accounts of local players and international remittance for overseas player payment,” a BCB statement said.This year, the BCB has asked all franchises to send payments to the board,which would then be forwarded to the players. The deadline for the first instalment of 25%, which should have been paid before the start of the tournament, was moved from January 7 to January 16-31. The next 25% needs to be paid before the end of the tournament. The remaining amount is supposed to be transferred within six months after the end of the tournament.Gladiators were the first franchise who paid the BCB 25% of the total players’ fees. According to Salim Chowdhury, the Gladiators owner, the BCB has cashed the pay order of Tk 3 crore ($ 376,900 approx) on January 22 and that the delay is from the board’s end.However, BPL secretary Ismail Haider Mallick has said that it would be Gladiators’ fault if Shah decides to leave the tournament. Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of the country, doesn’t remit money without proper contracts, which Mallick says Gladiators have only sent on Tuesday (January 29).”If Owais Shah doesn’t play, it will be completely their fault. I would ask him [Salim Chowdhury] to show the received copy of the agreement papers, which he claims he has made the players sign five times. We can ascertain who’s right or wrong.”They gave us a cheque which is payable from March 14, but they haven’tgiven us a bank guarantee, so his claims sound absurd,” Mallick added. “We have tried to help them by giving extra leeway on time, but they haven’t paid us the money properly.”

De olho na permanência na Série A do Campeonato Brasileiro, o Ceará volta a campo no domingo para uma verdadeira batalha fora de casa. A equipe cearense vai encarar o Palmeiras, líder do certame, visando um grande resultado na capital paulista, segundo destacou o lateral-esquerdo João Lucas.

“O Palmeiras, sem dúvida, tem uma equipe de altíssimo nível. É muito difícil tirar pontos deles jogando em sua casa. Não podemos vacilar. Temos que minimizar os erros para sairmos de lá somando pontos como visitante novamente. O grupo está muito motivado para que isso seja possível”, disse.

Ainda de acordo com o atleta, o elenco alvinegro tem tudo para sair do Z4 e não voltar mais para ele.

Bopara hundred demands notice

Scorecard
More innings like his century at Headingley could seal a regular place for Ravi Bopara’s in the England team•Getty Images

Twelve Tests in five years since Ravi Bopara’s England debut sums up his constant struggle to gain acceptance at the highest level, but much more of the resilience he displayed for Essex in taking a century off Yorkshire at Headingley and his claims for a longer opportunity will become impossible to ignore.April has been the toughest of months for batsmen, but Bopara’s stock can only have risen after his judicious 117 not out for an Essex side which managed only another 60 runs off the bat. He survived one chance on 50, Ajmal Shahzad forcing the edge but Phil Jaques, diving at third slip, failing to hold the catch.A year ago, Bopara committed himself to county cricket, with reasonable success, only for Eoin Morgan to return from IPL to claim the last England batting place vacated by Paul Collingwood. Conceivably, the same could happen again, but this time Morgan, technically frail against Pakistan in the UAE, cannot yet get a game with Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL. Meanwhile, Bopara is showing the benefits of a prolonged education in challenging conditions that have left most batsmen throughout the country befuddled.Of those 6o runs provided by the rest of the Essex side, the two runs registered by the last man, Tymal Mills, were the most argument. Mills blocked determinedly for 41 balls to share a last-wicket stand of 48 in 17 overs, during which Bopara reached his hundred with three successive boundaries off Ajmal Shahzad.Bopara’s only misjudgment was to run out Mills as he understandably tried to keep the strike by stealing a single after driving Anthony McGrath too firmly to Steve Patterson at mid-on. Mills was not too downcast. “I can safely say I have never batted for an hour before,” he said. Tim Phillips, who batted with a runner because of back spasms suffered on the first day, also frustrated Yorkshire as he spent 41 balls over seven. From 119 for 7, Essex’s last three wickets added 80.Yorkshire’s most successful bowler was Ryan Sidebottom, who managed to return figures of 5 for 30 in 24 overs while looking largely disenchanted with life. Sidebottom finished last season with career-best bowling figures against Somerset (7 for 37 as well as 11 for 98 in the match), a feat that brought Yorkshire victory in their last game of the season but one which ultimately failed to spare them from relegation.Just like his father, Arnie, who trod the same Headingley pastures, passions are never far from the surface when Ryan bowls. But while Arnie used to become an exasperated, red-faced figure, looking so agonised that one imagined his bones were becoming more brittle by the minute, Ryan’s moods are deeper, like swirling eddies in dark rivers. Arnie would tear at his thinning hair; Ryan tosses his mane of curls in disgust. Arnie made the ball rise and seam from just short of a length; Ryan relies more on swing and a fuller length. Like Arniue, Ryan gives the impression that he is wearied by the whole process and yet is as resntful of every run off his bowling as was his father before him.Yorkshire’s first-innings lead of 47 grew to 191 by the close, courtesy of a controlled opening stand of 106 in 31 overs between Joe Root and Joe Sayers. While Sayers settled into his one-an-over routine, Root gradually drove expansively and even reverse-swept Tom Westley to reach his 50 before he was caught down the leg side off Greg Smith. It will take kinder weather than predicted to allow a result on the final day.

Sami, Mushfiqur star in tense Rajshahi win

ScorecardMohammad Sami took lots of wickets for very little runs•BPL T20

Duronto Rajshahi have finished top of the Bangladesh Premier League table after winning what ended up being a tense match against Dhaka Gladiators in Mirpur. Dhaka also qualify as they have a better run-rate than Chittagong Kings. Mohammad Sami had remarkable figures of 5 for 6 as Dhaka were shot out for 116, but Rajshahi stuttered in the chase and needed captain Mushfiqur Rahim to score 40 not out as they won in the final over.Sami had ripped through the Dhaka line-up, causing them to collapse from 59 for 2 to 116 all out in 18.2 overs. All of Sami’s wickets were either lbw or bowled.The chase looked a simple one, but Rajshahi slipped to 80 for 6. Mushfiqur stitched together a 32-run partnership with Soumya Sarkar to get Rajshahi close. Sarkar’s dismissal in the 19th over meant the match was pushed into the final over. Sami, who had been the star with the ball, came in and scored 3 off 3 balls with the bat to help Mushfiqur get Rajshahi over the line.

Nawaz shines as Pakistan U-19s level series

Pakistan Under-19s registered a four-wicket win againt South Africa Under-19s in a low-scoring one-dayer in Cape Town, to level the three-match series at 1-1

ESPNcricinfo staff27-Jan-2012
ScorecardPakistan Under-19s registered a four-wicket win againt South Africa Under-19s in a low-scoring one-dayer in Cape Town, to level the three-match series at 1-1. Pakistan chose to bowl and Zia-ul-Haq justified their decision by quickly getting rid of South Africa’s openers, leaving them 2 for 7 in the fifth over. South Africa never really recovered. While the middle order batsmen got starts, none of them were able to convert and the hosts were bowled out for 126 in the 39th over. Mohammad Nawaz did most of the damage with the lower half of the order, taking 5 for 19 in five overs.In the chase, Pakistan’s top order could not make any contributions of note, and at one stage they were tottering at 68 for 6. However, Nos. 7 and 8, Saifullah Bangash and Usman Qadir strung together a fluent, unbroken 60-run stand to take Pakistan home in the 34th over. Nawaz was named the Man of the Match.The teams will play the final match of the series on January 29 in Stellenbosch.

TJD-SP nega recurso do Verdão sobre final do Paulista; clube vai ao STJD

MatériaMais Notícias

O pleno do TJD-SP indeferiu nesta segunda-feira o pedido do Palmeiras para abrir o processo pela impugnação da final do Campeonato Paulista, por 5 votos a 1. De acordo com o Tribunal, o clube não cumpriu o prazo correto para entrar com este pedido e encerrou o caso nesta instância. O Verdão agora vai ao STJD, no Rio de Janeiro, para tentar comprovar a interferência externa no clássico contra o Corinthians, dia 8 de abril.

Não houve julgamento do mérito nesta tarde, a pauta era apenas discutir se o Palmeiras havia feito os trâmites no prazo correto. O presidente do TJD-SP, Antônio Assunção de Olim, já havia recusado o pedido de impugnação por este argumento, O clube entrou com o recurso, que já deveria ter sido votado na semana passada, mas o julgamento foi adiado para esta tarde por conta da greve dos caminhoneiros.

O regulamento diz que o pedido de impugnação de uma partida deve ser feito até 48h depois da publicação da súmula, e neste prazo o Palmeiras entrou com o pedido de abertura de inquérito, com um longo relatório, além das entrevistas dos envolvidos na arbitragem daquele Dérbi, alegando que a decisão de anular o pênalti de Ralf em Dudu veio de alguém além da equipe de arbitragem. O Tribunal argumentou que não havia provas suficientes.

O clube entrou com o pedido de impugnação no dia 25 de abril, logo em seguida à essa negativa, e Olim argumentou que isto deveria ter sido feito nas primeiras 48h após o jogo. O entendimento no Palmeiras, entretanto, é de que este prazo foi “congelado” ao solicitar a instauração de inquérito em 10 de abril (dois dias após a decisão) e que ele voltou a valer após o anúncio do arquivamento da investigação (23 de abril). Teria, assim, feito o trâmite da forma correta.

Esta não foi a posição da maioria no pleno do TJD-SP, que concordou com a primeira decisão de Olim. O resultado já era esperado pelo Palmeiras, e após a publicação do resultado tem até três dias para ingressar no STJD.

O recurso no tribunal carioca também não é referente ao mérito da interferência, mas sim de que o cronograma foi cumprido, tendo validade para abrir o processo. O clube já tinha pedido a entrada do STJD no caso, mas isto antes não era possível até o esgotamento na justiça estadual.

Richardson's six sends Lancashire crashing

Alan Richardson bagged a six-wicket haul as Worcestershire boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation and dented Lancashire’s title bid with a crushing 10-wicket win

01-Sep-2011
Scorecard
Alan Richardson made excellent use of a helpful pitch to boost Worcestershire’s survival hopes•PA PhotosLancashire have put themselves in contention to win the County Championship by being in some ways a team greater than the sum of its parts, winning eight matches by pooling their resources more effectively than rivals with more obvious stand-out performers. Above all, their asset has been character and it is that quality that will come under close scrutiny now.They were beaten here by 10 wickets in a day and a half, having batted poorly in both innings. The result, built around a valiant near-century by James Cameron and the excellence of veteran seamer Alan Richardson, who finished with 6 for 22, not only makes the race for the title even more of a close-run battle but gives Worcestershire every chance of avoiding relegation at Yorkshire’s expense.Given that they began the season as every pundit’s favourite to go back to Division Two, their achievement deserves almost as much attention as Lancashire’s apparent attack of the jitters although inevitably it will not be given it.The fact is that Glen Chapple’s side began this round as title favourites but will end it having been knocked off the top of the Division One table and possibly down to third place. Warwickshire – perhaps even Durham, though they have only one match to go after the current round – will look at their own chance with fresh enthusiasm.Lancashire picked off the last four Worcestershire wickets in the first hour, Chapple himself – showing no sign of the knee problem that had kept him off the field for part of the previous afternoon – taking three after Kyle Hogg had broken the key partnership between and Cameron and Ben Scott at 97 when the wicketkeeper edged a wideish ball to his Lancashire counterpart. Richard Jones was lbw offering no stroke before Cameron, having reached 98, was rather cruelly denied his hundred, bowled by one of several balls at the Diglis End that kept low. Kemar Roach followed him in quite quickly after another straight ball beat his optimistic swing.Worcestershire’s lead of 76 looked handy but Lancashire nonetheless would have expected to set themselves something relatively testing for the last innings. Instead, they were dismissed for 80 in just over 30 overs, the end coming just before 3pm. It is their lowest all-out total since Glamorgan dismissed them for 51 at Liverpool in 1997.Richardson, who is enjoying the most productive season of his career at 36, followed Chapple’s example of bowling full and straight and Lancashire’s batsmen, gripped by a combination of impatience and panic, succumbed one after another, whether by failing to move their feet, playing back when they should have been forward, or else just swinging carelessly across the line. Five of his six wickets were leg-before.Roach, the West Indian fast bowler whose pace only added to Lancashire’s jitters, bowled Chapple and Saj Mahmood with two frighteningly quick deliveries, claiming a third victim when Hogg, who had hit him a few meaty blows in the first innings, stepped back in search of another but was again beaten for pace.Stephen Moore, the Lancashire opener, was absent, attending the birth of his first child in Manchester at the very moment his teammates were falling apart. But even Peter Moores, the Lancashire coach, admitted it would have been unlikely he would have made much difference.”I don’t know what difference Stephen would have made but babies take precedence over cricket matches and quite rightly so,” Moores said. “He has had a little girl and we are delighted for him. There was never a dilemma over whether he would stay because family comes first.”It is disappointing result obviously but we batted poorly on both innings. We did not score enough runs in either to create any kind of pressure and there can be no complaints. The pitch had a little bit in it, a little bit uneven in bounce, but we lost five wickets to full straight balls which you cannot afford to do, especially in the top six.”But like the defeat in the Twenty20 semi-final last weekend, we have to take it on the chin. We will scrub ourselves up and prepare for next week. We have two matches left and if we win both I think we will win the title. Win one and we are in the frame. We will find out over the next two games if we have the character to do it.”Lancashire’s batting was collectively bad and while Moores backed away from coming down hard on his own players – in public, at any rate – he must have despaired at their lack of application and times and his assessment of Cameron’s performance said plenty.”He showed what could be done. He played himself in, didn’t play and miss an awful lot and didn’t get hit on the pad an awful lot. He showed the right game for that pitch and can take pride in the fact that, batting wise, he was the difference between the sides.”Richardson, meanwhile, having raised his tally to 62 wickets for the Championship season confirmed the view of pitch liaison officer Jack Birkenshaw that only negligible blame could be attached to the behaviour of the track.”I have played on a lot worse wickets this year, a lot more bowler friendly at least,” he said. “It did a little bit and maybe the odd one stayed down but in general I thought it was a really good wicket, certainly not a day and a half wicket.””We did not see that coming this morning, for sure, and I was a bit surprised that Lancashire crumbled as they did because they have shown a lot of fight this season but it was just one of those days when we bowled well and it all clicked.”The Staffordshire-born seamer reckons Worcestershire have earned the right now to determine their own fate after putting clear daylight between themselves and next-to-bottom Yorkshire.”We set out this season to be as competitive as possible and apart from in a couple of games we really have been competitive,” he said. “We have surprised some people, given some teams a bit of a fright and we have scraped together four wins. The fact that we are two games from the end and not in the relegation zone is a reflection of how well we have played.”At both ends of the table, at this stage what lies ahead is as much a test of nerve as technique. Lancashire, under pressure every season to stop the constant reminders of how long it is since they last won the Championship – 1934 in their own right, 1950 when they shared it with Surrey – must now prove that theirs is strong enough. Hampshire are their next opponents, at Liverpool next week, followed by Somerset at Taunton in the final round.

Pedro Rocha, ex-Grêmio, é salvação contra vandalismo em Diadema

MatériaMais Notícias

Pedro Rocha, atacante de 23 anos que trocou o Grêmio pelo Spartak Moscou, da Rússia, em agosto, virou quase que literalmente a salvação contra um ato de vandalismo. O Clube Atlético Diadema, equipe do ABC paulista que acionou a Fifa e a Justiça para ter direito a 30% dos 12 milhões de euros (cerca de R$ 45 milhões) da negociação do jogador, precisa ter vitória no caso para superar uma recente depredação de quase todo o seu patrimônio e sobreviver.

Os atos que deixaram o CAD, como é conhecido, bem próximo da inexistência ocorreram em 29 de abril, um domingo. A sede da agremiação foi invadida e ocorreram depredações, roubo de alguns objetos e ainda atiraram fogo em um ônibus e em uma sala de aula (veja imagens acima). Diante da situação, a diretoria pediu à Federação Paulista de Futebol licenciamento de um ano, para buscar uma solução.

O ataque não deixou feridos, já que não havia ninguém nas dependências no momento do crime. Mas cerca de 30 atletas, que moravam no alojamento do clube para compor do sub-15 ao sub-23, ficaram sem o local, onde a agremiação oferecia, além de lugar para dormir, refeições, academia e acompanhamento escolar. Alguns jogadores já pediram dispensa e outros, principalmente os que têm 16 e 17 anos de idade, abandonaram o futebol porque precisam de outra renda para suas famílias.

É o ponto mais recente de uma situação caótica para o CAD, que foi fundado em 2009 e, no ano passado, já tinha deixado de disputar torneios profissionais. Em 31 de dezembro, a Câmara dos Vereadores retirou a concessão do centro de treinamento, o que já tornou ainda mais importante a vitória no caso Pedro Rocha. Agora, os atos de vandalismo pioraram a situação.

O crime foi registrado no 2º Distrito Policial de Diadema, mas as investigações quase não avançam porque as testemunhas do vandalismo dizem se sentir ameaçadas e pouco colaboram. Assim, a pequena quantidade de patrimônio que sobrou está no galpão de um patrocinador e, caso não tenha uma sede, o CAD fica impossibilitado de disputar competições da FPF.

Neste cenário, tornaram-se ainda mais fundamentais os 30% (quase R$ 15 milhões) que o CAD exige da venda de Pedro Rocha. O clube paulista alega que, ao emprestar Pedro Rocha ao Grêmio, em 2014, estipulou em contrato essa participação em uma futura venda, enquanto os gaúchos dizem que essa cláusula já não tinha mais validade. O caso corre na Justiça Comum e na Fifa, sob intensa apreensão de quem o acompanha de Diadema.

– Desde aquele dia (29 de abril, quando ocorreu o vandalismo), o clube está sem água e luz. Ficou impossível ficar o dia a dia lá e manter o alojamento.Pedimos a licença de um ano na FPF para tentar colocar a casa em ordem. Vamos ver o que conseguimos recuperar, tentar renovar a concessão que a gente tinha. E esperar esse dinheiro do Pedro Rocha que temos a receber. Ele foi formado no Diadema. Com esse dinheiro, construiríamosum novo local de treinamento e o nosso estádio – disse ao LANCE! Lucas Moreira, responsável pela comunicação do CAD.

Watson looking forward to challenge of opening

Shane Watson did not have too many opportunities batting at No. 7 in the last World Cup but is looking to do what Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist did as openers in this year’s tournament

Brydon Coverdale in Ahmedabad19-Feb-2011When he wasn’t hobbling around with a nagging calf strain, Shane Watson spent much of the 2007 World Cup padded up, waiting, and watching Matthew Hayden crush opponents with help from his opening partner Adam Gilchrist. Hayden dominated that tournament more than any other batsman, with three centuries against top teams, and it’s a role Watson wants to play this time around.So dominant were Hayden, Gilchrist and the rest of the top order that Watson, who was batting at No. 7 during that period, had to face only 85 balls through the entire seven-week event. Fast forward four years and Watson is an established, in-form opener, and Australia will be desperate for him to have a massive series, with less depth and experience in the middle order than in years gone by.”It’s a different challenge compared to batting at No. 7 in the team that we had,” Watson said. “It’s a much bigger responsibility opening the batting and trying to lay a great platform for the team like Matt Hayden and Adam Gilchrist did so beautifully throughout their careers. I know it’s a big responsibility and I’m really looking forward to it.”It’s a great challenge over here and I’ve been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time here over the past two years to get used to the conditions. They’re big shoes to fill because [Hayden and Gilchrist] have performed unbelievably well throughout their careers, especially in World Cups.”Watson enters the 2011 tournament with some formidable figures behind him. He’s scored 832 one-day runs in the past year, comfortably Australia’s best, and earlier this month he won his second consecutive Allan Border Medal. He didn’t just win it, he annihilated all his colleagues by earning 295 votes, a full hundred in front of the second-placed Michael Hussey.It’s a form-line that will leave opponents scratching their heads as to how to control him. The first team that has to find the solution is Zimbabwe, whose batting coach Grant Flower has been searching for some inside tips from his brother Andy, who as coach of England recently saw Watson plunder 161 at the MCG, after he was one of the few Australians who also had a solid Ashes series.”He has been playing brilliantly,” Grant Flower said in the lead-up to Monday’s game. “I spoke to my brother last night and asked him the same thing, and he didn’t have many answers. But there are a lot of class players and there are no obvious weaknesses, otherwise they wouldn’t be playing at international level. But our main strength is spin, so hopefully we can get it in the right areas and he might succumb to the same pressures that everyone else is under.”One thing in Zimbabwe’s favour is that it was spin that troubled Australia during their two warm-up losses, against India and South Africa over the past week, although Watson fell to pace both times in making 33 and 0. Australia know they must improve from those two opening encounters, although Watson was confident that the defeats were not an indication of how the rest of their campaign would unfold.”We played some good cricket throughout the summer in Australia but we also knew that there was a little bit of improvement to go in just about all aspects of our one-day cricket,” Watson said. “The past couple of days have been excellent for getting used to the Indian conditions and getting our game-plans and our roles in the team exactly where they should be.”Australia enter Monday’s match Against Zimbabwe, in Ahmedabad, hoping to keep their unbeaten run in World Cups going – they have not lost a World Cup game since 1999 – but knowing they should not compare themselves to the teams headed by Ricky Ponting at the past two tournaments.”I don’t really see the pressure to defend the World Cup because we are a very different team to what the team was in 2007,” Watson said. “In the end there’s pressure on every team to win the World Cup, no matter what.”
