By the close of play, Australia A had managed to wipe 113 runs off the deficit, losing both openers along the way.Centuries from Rossouw and Temba Bavuma had flattened Australia A on the second day and the pair extended their 283-run partnership to 343 on the third morning before Bavuma was dismissed by Gurinder Sandhu for 162. Rossouw, who began the day unbeaten on 162, steadily marched towards his double hundred and got to the landmark in the 23rd over of the day.The batsman, who was recently picked for the ODIs against Zimbabwe, also shared a 70-run, sixth-wicket partnership with Behardien that pushed South Africa A closer to 500. Rossouw and wicketkeeper Mangaliso Mosehle fell within three overs but Behardien stabilised the innings with a brisk 53-run stand alongside Simon Harmer. Harmer contributed just eight runs to the eighth-wicket partnership, which came in 11.2 overs, and his dismissal with the score at 8 for 532 prompted a declaration from the visitors. Behardien remained unbeaten on 70, while Sandhu was the best bowler for Australia A with returns of 4 for 77.In reply, Australia A lost openers Marcus Stoinis and Phillip Hughes quickly to Harmer before Tom Cooper and Callum Ferguson saw the side through to stumps with an unbeaten 62-run partnership.

West Indies’ offspinner Sunil Narine is faced with a selection dilemma as he may be disqualified from the West Indies squad for the first Test if he chooses to play the IPL final for Kolkata Knight Riders

Tony Cozier30-May-2014Sunil Narine has suddenly found himself between a rock and a hard place.If the spinner remains in India to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in Sunday’s IPL 2014 final, as he wants to, he will miss the West Indies Cricket Board’s [WICB] June 1 deadline for joining the preparatory camp for the imminent home series against New Zealand, disqualifying him from selection.”It is his decision,” WICB’s chief executive officer Michael Muirhead said on Friday. “The cut-off date for joining the camp was moved forward from May 22 to June 1 specifically to allow those players involved in the IPL the opportunity for more matches. Anyone who is in breach won’t be considered for selection.”He indicated that if Narine misses the deadline, he would be unavailable for the first Test in Kingston between June 8 and 12; Narine would remain in the chosen squad of 15 and be eligible for the remainder of the series.Speaking by telephone from his Kolkata office yesterday, Knight Riders’ chief executive officer Venky Mysore spoke on Narine’s behalf.”This is in no way an act of defiance by Sunil,” Mysore said. “He is seeking the board’s flexibility for a couple of days leeway so that he can turn out for Knight Riders on Sunday.”He has told us that he came to do a job and wants to see it through to its conclusion. He also wants to represent West Indies against New Zealand. You can understand the quandary that he is in.”Mysore said the IPL management had put Narine’s case to the WICB. Narine has also been in touch with Wavell Hinds, president and chief executive of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA).There was a similar situation prior to West Indies’ tour of England in 2009.Chris Gayle, then captain, applied for an extension to play one more match for his franchise team in the IPL, held that year in South Africa. The WICB acceded to the request and Gayle arrived in London two days before the Lord’s Test, leading to widespread criticism of the decision.The WICB has now taken its position following its acceptance of the “West Indies First” policy proposed by director of cricket, Richard Pybus, last March.This lists the principle of the “prioritisation of Test cricket as the pinnacle of West Indies cricket and its protection through priority team selection and strategic scheduling”.Narine is one of six players with WICB Grade A contracts for 2014, each worth US$120,000; Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Chris Gayle, Darren Sammy and Marlon Samuels are the others.”For West Indies cricket to thrive and to grow, they (the players) have to make themselves available,” Muirhead said at the time. “At the same time, we don’t want to limit the amount or prevent their opportunities to earn.”He added then that there were no scheduled matches or tours in 2014 during the period of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) or the Indian Premier League (IPL). The IPL final has thrown a spanner into the works.Muirhead said Narine and Gayle, who travelled to Germany from his IPL stint with Royal Challengers Bangalore for treatment on his back injury, had advised the WICB on May 24 that they would be back by June 1.That changed for Narine in the past two weeks as Knight Riders, at one point seemingly out of contention, reeled off eight consecutive victories to qualify for the final.”We are not victimizing him in any way,” Muirhead stated. “Like all the players, he was aware of the stipulation under the NOC (No Objection Clause) well in advance.”The NOC released West Indies players for the IPL with the stipulation that they would be available no later than one week before a Test series. The camp, currently held in Barbados, wraps up on June 3. It is, according to Muirhead, the opportunity for “meaningful practice and developing the team ethic”.Predictably, Mysore acknowledged that Knight Riders wanted Narine to stay and play the final.”He has been a vital cog in our team since he joined us in 2012,” Mysore said. “He is the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2014 with 20 wickets but, just as importantly, he has been a tremendous team man.”Mysore said the franchise, owned by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan, has undertaken to fly Narine back by the fastest available flights should the WICB alter its position. He estimated that he could join the West Indies squad by June 3, five days before the first Test.Such a scenario now seems unlikely.Without Narine, West Indies would be short of a key bowler who has made his reputation principally in the shorter versions of the game (he is ranked No.3 in ODIs and No.2 in T20 Internationals by the ICC), but who has 18 of his 23 Test wickets against New Zealand, in two matches in the Caribbean in 2012 and one in New Zealand last December.Off-spinner Shane Shillingford, returning from his second clearance following suspension for an illegal delivery, and left-arm spinner Sulieman Benn, who played the last of his 17 Tests almost three-and-a-half years ago, are the other spinners in the squad.

UAE Under-19s made short work of Scotland Under-19s in Abu Dhabi, knocking them over for 119 before chasing it down with seven wickets and nearly 18 overs to spare. Scotland started off reasonably well, reaching 34 for 0 before losing five wickets for 29 runs. New-ball bowlers Omer Mohammed and Pankaj Prakash shared seven wickets as Scotland’s innings fizzled out.Scotland struck in the first over of the chase, removing Dan D’Souza for a duck, but it was always going to be difficult to defend such a small total. Shiv Mehra and Shorye Chopra put on 51 for the second wicket to put UAE on course, and Shivank Vijayakumar’s patient unbeaten 28 ensured a straightforward victory. It was UAE’s first win of the tournament, after losing all three of their league matches.Papua New Guinea Under-19s’ openers put on 86, but New Zealand Under-19s were always in the control of the game once that stand was broken. Half-centuries from Ken McClure and Robert O’Donnell eased New Zealand to a six-wicket victory, reaching the target of 187 in the 47th over.PNG’s Kiplin Doriga made 50 and his opening partner Riley Hekure collected 35, but three others in the top six made 2 or less and PNG went from 86 for 0 to 105 for 5, instigated by offspinner Raki Weerasundara. There was a 56-run stand for the sixth wicket between Hiri Hiri and Tom Willie before another collapse, as the final five wickets went down for 25 runs. New Zealand had a couple of run-outs in their innings, but there were no clumps of wickets which ensured a fairly smooth chase.

Part-time offspinner Gurkeerat Singh finished with a match haul of eight wickets as Punjab progressed to the quarterfinals with victory by an innings and 173 runs over Jharkhand in Dhanbad. The result left Jharkhand on the brink of dropping back into Group C – along with fellow promoted side Services – with Haryana looking set to overtake them with at least first-innings points against Odisha.Jharkhand started the day at 210 for 9 in their first innings, and were bowled out after adding six runs in two overs, Rajwinder Singh getting Samar Quadri stumped to bring up his five-wicket haul. Gurkeerat ended the innings with figures of 4 for 40, his best in first-class cricket.Punjab, 300 ahead, enforced the follow-on and took only 34.1 overs to bowl Jharkhand out for 127. Opener Rameez Nemat, who made 81 in the first innings, was the only batsman to resist once again, and was ninth out for an 85-ball 48. The spinners took all ten wickets, with left-armer Rajwinder and legspinner Rahul Sharma grabbing three each and Gurkeerat taking three of the last four wickets to finish with match figures of 8 for 99.
ScorecardHaryana were on the verge of ensuring another season in the top tier of the Ranji Trophy after taking a 384-run first-innings lead against Odisha in Bhubaneswar. Three points from this match will take Haryana off the foot of the table and move them above Jharkhand.Opener Rahul Dewan, batting on 136 overnight, extended his score to 273 and his third-wicket partnership with Sachin Rana to 311, as Haryana declared on 626 for 4. At stumps, Odisha were 33 for 0 in their second innings.Dewan faced 461 balls and struck 35 fours in bettering his previous best first-class score of 254*. Rana made 157 from 213 balls, with 14 fours and six sixes, and his dismissal brought to the crease wicketkeeper Nitin Saini, who kept Odisha under the cosh with an unbeaten 114-ball 102 that contained nine fours and five sixes. Saini put on 150 with Dewan for the fourth-wicket in just 182 balls.Read the full report of Gujarat v Mumbai here: Gujarat need 108, Mumbai seven wicketsRead the full report of Delhi v Karnataka here: Karnataka eye another win on last day

يفكر نادِ سعودي في الانقضاض على نجم فريق توتنهام، هاري كين، في ظل التكهنات المنتشرة بشأن مستقبله هذا الصيف.

وسينتهي العقد الحالي للنجم الإنجليزي مع توتنهام صيف 2024، نهاية الموسم المقبل.

وارتبط هاري كين مؤخرًا بإمكانية الانتقال إلى بايرن ميونخ، حيث تقدم بطل الدوري الألماني بعرضين حتى الآن للظفر بخدماته، ولكن تم رفضهما من قِبل توتنهام.

ووفقًا لصحيفة “ديلي ميل” الإنجليزية، نقلًا عن “سكاي سبورتس”، فمن المحتمل أن يكون نادي الهلال السعودي على استعداد للانقضاض على صفقة هاري كين.

وأوضحت أن مسؤولي النادي السعودي أجروا محادثات بالفعل مع وسيط حول إمكانية ضم اللاعب صاحب الـ29 عامًا، ولكن لم يتم إجراء أي اتصال مع توتنهام حتى الآن.

ولن يوافق توتنهام على رحيل هاري كين مقابل سعر أقل من 100 مليون جنيه إسترليني، وهو ما يرفضه بايرن ميونخ، حتى وقتنا هذا.

الجدير بالذكر أن الهلال السعودي تعاقد مع اثنين من لاعبي الدوري الإنجليزي هذا الصيف، وهما خاليدو كوليبالي من تشيلسي وروبن نيفيز من ولفرهامبتون، إلى جانب سيرجي ملينكوفيتش سافيتش من لاتسيو.

Gautam Gambhir has cut short his maiden stint in English county cricket with Essex to return to India for “family reasons”, according to a statement released by Essex Cricket

ESPNcricinfo staff02-Sep-2013Gautam Gambhir has cut short his maiden stint in English county cricket with Essex to return to India for “family reasons”, according to a statement released by Essex Cricket. Ignored by the national selectors for a while, Gambhir had signed up with the county in August.”Gautam Gambhir returned to his native India on Sunday for family reasons,” the Essex statement said. “At this stage Essex Cricket and Gautam are unable to make any further comment. Essex Cricket is fully supportive of Gautam and very much hope that he will return to Essex before the end of the 2013 English domestic season.”Gambhir had an underwhelming start with Essex but followed up scores of 31, 21, 2 and 0 with a second-innings hundred on August 30 against Gloucestershire in a drawn match in Bristol.The short stint with Essex was Gambhir’s first outing since the IPL in May. He was not part of the India side for the Champions Trophy, the tri-series in the West Indies and the ODI tour of Zimbabwe. His last game for his country was the final ODI against England at home in Dharamsala in January. He was recalled to the national side for the final Test against Australia in Delhi in March, before missing out after coming down with jaundice.

تتوالى الأخبار بشأن مستقبل نجم فريق باريس سان جيرمان، كيليان مبابي، بعد المفاجأة المدوية التي فجرتها صحيفة “ليكيب” الفرنسية، مساء أمس الإثنين.

وكانت صحيفة “ليكيب” قد ذكرت بأن مبابي أخبر باريس سان جيرمان بأنه ينوي الرحيل الصيف المقبل، حيث لا يرغب في تفعيل بند التمديد لعام 2025.

وأوضحت أن ذلك الأمر أثار غضب باريس سان جيرمان، الذي أصبح بين شقي رحى، إما بيع مبابي هذا الصيف أو الإبقاء عليه ورحيله مجانًا الصيف المقبل.

ويظهر في الصورة حاليًا نادي ريال مدريد، الذي ارتبط مرارًا وتكرارًا بضم كيليان مبابي، حيث أن الأخير كذلك يُعد من مشجعي الفريق الملكي منذ الطفولة.

ولكن يبدو أن باريس سان جيرمان لا ينوي تسهيل الطريق أمام ريال مدريد، رغم القرار الأخير لـ مبابي بشأن مستقبله.

وذكر الصحفي “manu carreño” بشبكة “كادينا سير” الإسبانية أن باريس سان جيرمان بات منفتحًا على فكرة بيع مبابي هذا الصيف، عكس توجهاته في السابق.

وأشار إلى إنه بالرغم من ذلك، فإن بطل الدوري الفرنسي مستعد لبيع مبابي لأي نادِ باستثناء ريال مدريد.

The SRH batter felt he had edged a leg glance to the wicket-keeper even though technology did not detect an edge

Aaron and Knight stumped by Kishan’s ‘bizarre’ dismissal

Ishan Kishan was dismissed in curious circumstances during Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) home game against Mumbai Indians (MI) on Wednesday, even as technology suggested he may not have been out.Kishan tried to glance a length ball from Deepak Chahar that was swinging down the leg side, failed to make proper contact, and then began to walk off even though none of the MI players had appealed for a caught behind after wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton “caught” the ball.Umpire Vinod Seshan first began to raise his arms sideways to signal a wide, but then dropped one arm and raised the other hesitantly to signal out as he spotted Kishan walking off. MI captain Hardik Pandya ran up to Kishan and patted him on the helmet for his decision to walk without waiting for the umpire’s decision.However, when the Ultra Edge replays were shown on the broadcast a few deliveries later, there was no spike to indicate an edge as the ball passed the bat.It was the second time Kishan had fallen caught by the wicketkeeper down the leg side this season. On this occasion, he was dismissed for 1 off 4 balls, leaving SRH 9 for 2 in 2.1 overs after being asked to bat. They subsequently slipped further to 35 for 5 by the ninth over of the innings before posting 143 for 8, which was far from enough for MI.SRH are currently ninth in the points table in IPL 2025, having won only two of their first eight games, above only Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Their next three fixtures are against Chennai Super Kings (April 25), Gujarat Titans (May 2) and Delhi Capitals (May 5).MI are third with five wins from eight games. They play Lucknow Super Giants next (April 27), followed by Rajasthan Royals (May 1) and Gujarat Titans (May 6).

Batsman Haris Sohail has twisted his left ankle at Pakistan’s ongoing training camp in Lahore, ahead of the India tour, but is not expected to be out of action for too long. Sohail, who is yet to make his international debut, is part of Pakistan’s squad for the one-day leg of the tour.Sohail was taken for an MRI scan that revealed the injury was not serious. He was advised six days rest, which would mean he should be ready to play in time for the India ODI series, which begins on December 30 in Chennai.In June, Sohail had been picked in Pakistan’s squad for the T20s against Sri Lanka, but didn’t make the playing XI. He had been in fine form on the domestic circuit, scoring three hundreds and a half-century in his last four first-class appearances for Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited. He had also scored a rapid, unbeaten fifty in Sialkot Stallions victory over Abbottabad Falcons in the just-concluded Faysal Bank T-20 Cup.
