The MCC’s Masterplan for the redevelopment of Lord’s remains on course after members rejected a motion for an independent inquiry into the processes, finances and governance of the club’s ground development.The club’s main committee had asked the membership to vote against the resolution proposed by the MCC Reform Group – a disaffected faction of members – and it was duly rejected by 6,191 votes to 1,556 at a special general meeting.The committee argued an inquiry would merely delay the development of Lord’s – expected to take 15 years – which is necessary as the club bids for future international matches. The bidding for matches from 2017-19 begins in the new year.New MCC president Mike Gatting called on the club to move forward. “Few subjects exercise and interest the membership as much as how best to develop this wonderful ground of ours,” Gatting said. “Lord’s is one of the jewels in cricket’s crown and must be looked after for benefit of everyone who loves the game, not just now, but in the future.”With its Masterplan for development, MCC is now excellently placed to improve the facilities at Lord’s without losing any of its unique charm. I’m delighted that the membership agree that the club should move forward with its plans.”We must stop looking back and unite behind the excellent team we have in place to ensure Lord’s is the world’s finest ground for years to come.”

Sunrisers Hyderabad gave themselves a lead over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the race for the final spot in the IPL playoffs, with a comprehensive win over the troubled Rajasthan Royals, their sixth win out of seven home games. Both Sunrisers and Royal Challengers have a game left, but Sunrisers play the easier opposition in Kolkata Knight Riders. Royal Challengers go up against Chennai Super Kings in their last match.Royals, who have qualified for the playoffs but have also been rocked by an alleged spot-fixing scandal, began the game needing a big win to give themselves a chance of finishing in the top two. For a long time they looked like they could do so, thanks largely to James Faulkner’s second five-for of the season – both against Sunrisers – but they let Sunrisers back in followed by an indifferent batting display in the chase of 137.Royals will rue a seemingly innocuous moment in the sixth over. Sunrisers had gone against their winning formula of chasing at home and were in deep trouble when Biplab Samantray took two instinctive steps down the wicket and went back a little lazily. The ball had gone towards point, Ajinkya Rahane swooped in, and had actually run Samantray out. Except that nobody appealed.Had Rahane appealed, Sunrisers would have been reduced to 21 for 4. Instead Samantray – 8 off 12 then – went on to score his first IPL fifty, which took Sunrisers to a fighting total. With Darren Sammy, Samantray added 56 runs in 5.5 overs. Sammy scored 23 off 19. Sunrisers didn’t even manage a big push towards the end, because Faulkner came back to undo the rebuilding work, but Sunrisers’ bowlers have defended worse than 136.Their two big bowlers – Dale Steyn and Amit Mishra – set the tone of the defence. Steyn bowled fast, accurate and with swing, and conceded just four runs in his first two overs. Royals had surprisingly still opened with Rahul Dravid and Ajinkya Rahane because they needed a huge-win-or-nothing approach: they couldn’t have missed out on the playoffs but needed a win and a big net-run-rate boost to compete for the top two slots.The pressure exerted by Steyn was too much on the openers, and Mishra didn’t let up at all. He returned the joint-most economical figures of this season: 4-0-8-2. In between, Rahane and Shane Watson holed out, effectively ending the chase. Mumbai and Super Kings now finish in the top two, and Royals await either Sunrisers or Royal Challengers in the eliminator.
-O assessor (de imprensa) me deu bastante apoio. Dei uma treinadinha um pouco antes – iniciou Jonathan em sua primeira entrevista coletiva como atleta do Botafogo, nesta terça-feira.
Ainda tímido e econômico nas palavras, Jonathan, antes do treino no Estádio Nilton Santos, projetou os próximos passos enão quis revelar se, com Gilson novamente à disposição, será mantido entre os titulares.
-Fico feliz pela oportunidade que o Botafogo me dá, feliz por representar esse escudo. Vemos de jogos sem resultado positivo, mas temos mais uma batalha na quinta.Já tinha feito alguns jogos pelo Nova Iguaçu, fui tranquilo (sobre a estreia, contra o Flamengo). Zé e jogadores me passaram confiança, fui para o jogo com a cabeça boa. Vamos seguir trabalhando firme – falou o garoto.
Com a suspensão de Gilson, Zé Ricardo deu a oportunidade a Jonathan, já elogiado por Rodrigo Pimpão em recente entrevista exclusiva ao LANCE!. O lateral-esquerdo, no entanto, sofreu comcãibras e deu lugar a outro jovem oriundo da base alvinegra: Lucas Barros, que, no clássico do último fim de semana, entrou na casa dos 15 minutos do segundo tempo e também foi bem.

Além disso, Jonathan comentou a respeito de sua inspiração na posição. E, por fim, demonstrou personalidade ao falar em cima da possibilidade de um lateral-esquerdo – Marcelo Hermes, do Cruzeiro, é cogitado.
– (Minha inspiração é) O Alaba (do Bayern de Munique), jogador bem agressivo. Tenho que investir no ataque e na defesa também – disse o atleta de 20 anos.
-Botafogo pode contratar, mas eu vou continuar trabalhando para dar meu melhor – finalizou.
Com a possibilidade de Jonathan voltar a ser titular, o Botafogo volta a campo nesta quinta-feira, quando recebe o Resende, às 20h (de Brasília), no Niltão. Neste momento, o Glorioso soma apenas um ponto no Grupo C, e as chances de classificação às semifinais da Taça Guanabara são remotas.
Pakistan Women lost their second warm-up match against Odisha XI by four wickets in Cuttack.Pakistan were bowled out for a low total of 154 after they chose to bat. The start was not ideal as they lost both their openers with only two runs on the board, both dismissed by Sujata Mallik (2 for 13). But Sana Mir (25) and Nain Abidi (29) stabilised the innings with a 50-run stand. This was followed by Bismah Maroof’s knock of 44 who held one end together but saw regular wickets fall at the other end. When she fell in the 42nd over, Pakistan were 143 for 7 and Odisha XI wrapped up their innings on 154. Sushree Pradhan took 3 for 41 runs in her nine overs.Odisha’s chase was not smooth as they scored at a slow pace and were 50 for 3 in the 20th over. But a 61-ball 50 from Swagatika Rath and an unbeaten knock from Pragyan Mohanty (28 off 82) helped them reach the target with four wickets in hand.
Graham Gooch has hailed England’s back-to-back Test wins in India as a “monumental achievement”. Gooch, the highest run-scorer in England’s Test history and the side’s current batting coach, claimed England were now “in the ascendancy”, but warned that with one Test remaining, plenty of hard work lay ahead if they were to claim their first series win in India since 1984-85.After losing the first Test in Ahmedabad, England won in Mumbai and Kolkata to take a 2-1 lead with one match to play. While Gooch praised the team for their fightback, he also suggested India might prepare a “result pitch” for the last Test in Nagpur, starting on Thursday, to maximise their chances of securing a result to draw the series.”It was a monumental achievement,” Gooch said. “We know these conditions are sometimes alien to English players. We lost the first Test, we took a bit of a beating there, and in their conditions – India have set up the conditions in Mumbai and Kolkata – our guys have responded magnificently. Let’s be fair, they’ve outplayed India in both the last two Tests.”When you go 1-0 down against hosts who have a very good record in their own conditions, it’s very satisfying when you can turn it round and use the skills you have practised long and hard to outplay the opposition.”But I don’t think for one minute that the guys think the job is done. We’re 2-1 up with one to play. We want a positive result in Nagpur. I don’t think I’m giving anything away by saying it’s going to be a result pitch in Nagpur. If I was India I would want a result pitch to take my chances.”The things MS Dhoni has said after Mumbai I totally agree with – he wants to play on pitches that produce results and I don’t have a problem with that. I’d rather have a pitch that produces a result that one that produces 600 plays 600. So we know it’s likely to be a pitch where it will be tough for the batsmen, with the ball turning. But after our last two performances we can go there with confidence and we’ve got to make sure we bring our A game to Nagpur.”Gooch was particularly keen to credit Alastair Cook for England’s revival. Cook scored his third century of the series and the 23rd of his Test career to set up the victory in Kolkata and has also impressed as a new captain in helping his side come from behind in a series in conditions where many expected them to struggle.”He’s always been an impressive young man, mature beyond his years,” Gooch said. “He works hard at his game. We’ve spent hours and hours in the nets over a long period of time and credit to him, he’s the one who deserves to take the plaudits. He’s worked hard at all types of his technique against spin, pace and swing bowling and he’s had some low moments – as you do as a player – and now he’s reaping the rewards for that hard work.”We showed lots of character coming back, but Alastair is a character who tried to keep his feet on the ground in defeat or in success and when he does well or has a bad day. It’s a good way to approach it. He’s very level-headed. From the time he first came into the Essex professional set-up to the time he scored his first Test hundred, he has been very mature about his cricket. He knows exactly what he wants and he knows how to go about it. He works very hard and, generally, that’s a winning combination.”He has led this team really well. He’s still learning as a captain and he’ll continue to develop. He’s only new to captaincy. He’s had a good start, there’ll be highs and lows along the way but he’ll take them equally and move forward. English cricket is lucky to have a player like him at the head of their team.”Gooch also praised the desire and commitment of England’s other batsmen. “The guys have worked hard at their game,” he said. “Our guys have a good work ethic. They’ve taken on board all the help they’ve been given about playing the turning ball and how to shape their technique. Credit to them, they’ve worked hard since the first training camp in Mumbai. All the work they’ve put in over a long period of time has now started to show rewards. We’ve got to make sure we carry that on in the next game and perform well there and come away from this country with our supporters being proud of the England cricket team.”
Substituto de Cássio no Corinthians, o goleiro Walter lamentou a derrota sofrida para o Santos na noite deste sábado, por 1 a 0. De acordo com o arqueiro do Timão, o time adversário soube aproveitar a oportunidade criada durante os 90 minutos de partida, enquanto o Alvinegro não teve o mesmo êxito no Pacaembu.
– Tivemos uma chance de gol e perdemos, eles tiveram uma e fizeram. Não era o resultado que esperávamos. Agora é retomar o foco na sequência da competição – falou o goleiro logo após o apito final no clássico, válido pela 29ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro.
O goleiro do Corinthians se refere ao último lance da partida, quando o zagueiro Marllon, completamente livre de marcação, cabeceou de dentro da área, mas errou o alvo. O lance poderia ter dado o empate para o Timão no clássico deste sábado, no Pacaembu.

A derrota para o Santos manteve o Corinthians com 35 pontos ganhos. Apesar da zona de rebaixamento ficar cada vez mais próxima – o Ceará, 17º colocado possui 30 pontos e dois jogos a menos que o Alvinegro, a equipe do Parque São Jorge vira a chave e foca totalmente na final da Copa do Brasil, na próxima quarta, contra o Cruzeiro, na arena de Itaquera.
Depois de perder o jogo de ida no Mineirão, por 1 a 0, o Timão precisa vencer por dois ou mais gols de diferença sem a necessidade de pênaltis. Em caso de vitória por apenas um gol, a decisão vai para as penalidades. Enquanto isso, os mineiros jogam por qualquer empate para conquistarem seu sexto título da Copa do Brasil.

Sulakshan Kulkarni, Mumbai’s coach, has singled out the failure of his senior batsmen and their inability to adapt to the situation in the knockouts as the main reason behind the team not reaching the Ranji final

Sulakshan Kulkarni, Mumbai’s coach, has singled out the failure of his senior batsmen and their inability to adapt to the situation in the knockouts as the main reason behind the team not reaching the Ranji final. The trio of Wasim Jaffer, the Mumbai captain, Abhishek Nayar and Suryakumar Yadav not performing in the semi-finals against Tamil Nadu proved fatal and Kulkarni, in his first season as coach, did not shy away from holding them responsible.”As far as our batting was concerned we completely played very bad cricket,” Kulkarni said, highlighting the first-innings performance in the semis as the worst. After Jaffer elected to field, Tamil Nadu recovered from a critical 139 for 6, to post a healthy 359 in their first innings. In response, Mumbai failed miserably, folding up for 157.Jaffer was unlucky to be adjudged lbw by the umpire K Hariharan, as there was big inside edge and the gully fielder leapt forward to attempt the catch. That aside, Jaffer had been struggling throughout the season, recording an aggregate of 406 runs in nine matches across twelve innings with just one century at an average of 45.11.Jaffer, usually one of the top run-getters in the season, had failed by his own high standards. “We lost this year and one of the biggest factors was Wasim’s batting,” Kulkarni said. “We needed him the most in the last two matches. It was a big loss to us.”The worst of the shot selection came from the pair of Nayar and Yadav in the semi-final. What saddened their coach was how two of his best batsmen had erred at the most important juncture in the tournament.Against Tamil Nadu, Nayar and Yadav had started re-building the innings from 14 for 3 after the Mumbai top order collapsed. But when the partnership was worth 47, Nayar opted to play a scoop in the very first over from the left-arm spinner Aushik Srinivas, offering an easy catch. Yadav, too, poked at a delivery from Yo Mahesh that moved away, to nick to the wicketkeeper. Yadav had just crossed his fifth half-century of the season, but wasted an opportunity to convert into a big score. Now he would need to be happy being the third-highest run-maker this season with 754 runs.”Yadav should have taken the responsibility when the team needed him the most,” Kulkarni said. “I was a bit disappointed with Abhishek. We were 15 for 3 and around then we had a 45-50 run partnership. That time we needed a big partnership. And being a senior player Abhishek Nayar should have taken the initiative. He had played so well in the season.”Kulkarni said the gameplan went awry once Mumbai had let Tamil Nadu out of the jail. “We thought if we could bundle them out for below 200 we had a very good chance. Also, on the first day the pitch was seaming and we had our chances when they were 139 for six,” Kulkarni pointed out. “But after that we did not attack the lower order and an opportunity was missed.”The Tamil Nadu lower order, marshalled by Ramaswamy Prasanna, bounced back strongly. Prasanna went on to score a brilliant ton, his second after five years, and importantly, stitch a valuable 155-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Mahesh, who scored a steadfast half-century himself. That put the visitors back on track and they did not suffer from any further stage fright.In contrast Mumbai registered their lowest innings total of the season. In the eight completed innings so far in the season, Mumbai had crossed the 400-run mark seven times. Even in the one match they missed out, against Saurashtra, they had managed to score 360. Kulkarni was happy with the consistency they had shown until then.Kulkarni admitted the youngsters in the squad had suffered from nerves during the knockouts. But after Mumbai had recovered from a disastrous position against Madhya Pradesh in the quarterfinals, Kulkarni was confident they would regroup against Tamil Nadu.In the quarters Mumbai were in dire straits at 70 for five, but Kaustubh Pawar remained stoic to register a big hundred and Ankit Chavan hit a resolute century. But Kulkarni said the pressure in the semis was more only because Tamil Nadu were a better team “man to man”. “They were a far superior team. So you had to be mentally stronger,” Kulkarni said.Kulkarni, who was appointed Mumbai coach when Praveen Amre decided to take a break after five years, said he was happy at the end of his first Ranji season. “It was quite good looking at the larger picture. We lost very badly this game,” he said. “‘[But] as far as the season is concerned there have been a lot of positives which will help Mumbai cricket in the future. The main thing is success of youngsters like Surya Kumar Yadav, Kaustubh Pawar, Balwinder Sandhu, Ankit Chavan and Kshemal Waingankar. This indicates Mumbai cricket is in good health.”Immediately after taking up the job Kulkarni found himself in a spot when Ajit Agarkar, Mumbai’s most experienced and successful fast bowler, decided to abruptly return home after being dropped against Orissa. Agarkar found support from his Mumbai team-mate and India fast bowler Zaheer Khan, who told the media that Kulkarni and Mumbai chairman of selectors Milind Rege were pulling back Mumbai cricket.Today, Kulkarni did not want to delve on the Agarkar incident and disagreed that the issue had any bearing on the rest of the season. “That was purely a cricketing situation,” Kulkarni said. “That incident is over. Had we concentrated on that issue we wouldn’t have come this far.”Pressed further if the issue had any impact on the morale of the dressing room, Kulkarni provided an example to back his thoughts. “If you look at the performance even in that match, Suryakumar Yadav scored a double-hundred. Kaustubh Pawar scored a century too.”Asked if he was bothered about his future, Kulkarni laughed at the questions. He said Mumbai being a champion team, everybody expected them to win the title. “That is not news. But if we lose it is big news.”Kulkarni was happy with the state of Mumbai’s bench strength, and wanted to build on it. According to him, Mumbai’s lesson from the season was to work harder and be more consistent. “A lot of the youngsters play a lot of Twenty20 and it is important that these guys adapt quickly to the four-day game and play consistently.”
