DRS to be used in Pakistan-England Tests

Pakistan’s “home” series against England, to be played in the UAE from January 2012, will have DRS for the Tests in addition to the ODIs as previously decided.

Umar Farooq09-Dec-2011Pakistan’s “home” series against England, to be played in the UAE from January 2012, will have DRS for the Tests in addition to the ODIs as previously decided. The PCB’s current sponsorship deal for the DRS, under which the ODIs in this series and those already played against Sri Lanka were covered, has been extended to include Tests but not the Twenty20 internationals.There will be no Hot Spot but ball-tracking technology provided by Hawk-Eye will be used in the DRS.”The PCB believes in technology and we were very keen to get the Test series covered with DRS too,” PCB’s General Manager media Nadeem Sarwar told ESPNcricinfo. “Our marketing department has done a great job to convince the sponsor and the DRS will bring added value to the Test series.”In October, the PCB had signed a deal with Pepsi to cover the cost of DRS for only the one-dayers against Sri Lanka and England in the UAE.”We are now hosting the [England] series with only Hawk-Eye for the DRS without the Hot Spot version. Since the use of this expensive technology was not part of the deal signed with the broadcaster [Ten Sports] but we will be considering the option in our new deal.”A deal with the broadcaster was renewed in November 2008 for five years according to which Ten Sports held the telecast and distribution rights for international tours including all Tests, ODIs and Twenty20 matches without the use of DRS technology.

Former Pakistan Test captain Salman Butt was widely described as an “honest” and “hard-working” individual and ex-Pakistan leg-spinning great Abdul Qadir claimed him to be a person “with high morals”.The comments came as Butt’s defence closed by reading to the court a series character witness accounts. Those from former Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson and from ex-Pakistan strength and conditioning coach David Dwyer were read out the previous evening.At the start of day 12 of the alleged spot-fixing trial in London, Butt’s solicitor Yasin Patel read out those from Qadir, one from his sister, his mother, from former Pakistan trainer Tauseef Razzaq and from an academy coach Azhar Zaidi. All were glowing references.”The Salman Butt that I know is honest, hardworking, truthful, fair, modest, loving, highly-respected, and with a firm commitment to the success of his team and his country,” Qadir said in his. “He supports and cares for all his family and is a young man who helps wherever he can do.”I was shocked about the allegations that were made against him and am surprised with the charges he faces,” Qadir added. “I do not believe he is capable of the acts with which he is charged,” before adding, “There have been many great players in the past and I believe this young man is destined to achieve much in the future.”After these were finished being read out, it was then the turn of Mohammad Asif to take to the witness stand.Butt and Asif are facing charges of conspiracy to cheat and conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments following the Lord’s Test last year when they allegedly conspired with agent Mazhar Majeed, teenager Mohammad Amir and other people unknown to bowl pre-planned no-balls. Butt and Asif deny the charges.

Spinners, Kaushalya shine in easy win

Sri Lanka Women notched up another easy victory over Bangladesh Women ahead of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier that begins in Bangladesh on November 14

ESPNcricinfo staff11-Nov-2011
ScorecardSri Lanka Women notched up another easy victory over Bangladesh Women ahead of the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier that begins in Bangladesh on November 14. Sri Lanka had come to Bangladesh early to play two matches against the hosts and after winning the first by 64 runs, cruised home by six wickets and with 21.5 overs to spare in the second. Bangladesh were put in to bat, and like in the first game scored extremely slowly. They lasted the whole 50 overs but scored at just 2.58 an over to reach 129 for 8. Most of the top order got into double digits, with Farjan Hoque’s 34 the top score, but none of the top six batsmen had a strike-rate over 50.Sri Lanka’s spinners, left- armer Suwini de Alwis and offspinner Shashikala Siriwardene, struck at regular intervals and finished with five wickets between them. The chase was always going to be comfortable and Sri Lanka got to the target in 28.1 overs. Prasadani Weerakkody scored 38 at the top of the order while Eshani Kaushalya raced to 40 not out off 36 balls.

Middlesex in control at Canterbury

Title-chasing Middlesex did their promotion cause the world of good by dismissing Kent for 242 on day one of their Division Two match at Canterbury

17-Aug-2011
Scorecard
Title-chasing Middlesex did their promotion cause the world of good by dismissing Kent for 242 on day one of their Division Two match at Canterbury. When bad light ended play early with 18 overs of the day still remaining, the visitors had reached 55 without loss in reply with Scott Newman on 16 and Sam Robson unbeaten with 37.Having elected to bat first, in what transpired to be the brightest conditions of the day, Kent made a watchful start through openers Rob Key and Joe Denly. Against a seaming ball, the pair mustered 24 runs and only four boundaries in the opening hour in the face of a stern examination by Corey Collymore, Tim Murtagh and Steven Crook – the nominated player to stand aside should Steve Finn return from England stand-by on day two.Crook found the outside edge three times only to see the opportunities fall short of the slip cordon, leaving Collymore to make the first breakthrough by having Key (17) caught low at slip by Dawid Malan as the Kent skipper aimed a back-foot force through the offside.Only 10 runs later Sam Northeast (3) nicked another fine delivery from Crook into the gloves of wicketkeeper John Simpson and, without addition to his lunch-time score of 2, Martin van Jaarsveld fell in identical fashion as the Kent innings began to unravel.Having looked sound in reaching his 84-ball half-century, Denly’s two-hour stay ended when Murtagh trapped him leg before prodding forward, bringing together Darren Stevens and Geraint Jones for a bright fifth-wicket riposte. With both right-handers going for their strokes, Kent added 45 in 9.2 overs before Collymore returned to snare Jones lbw on his way to eventual figures of4 for 69.Azhar Mahmood fenced Collymore’s next ball toward mid-on and looked vaguely interested in a single, but Stevens said no and as Mahmood dithered Collymore threw down the striker’s end stumps to run out Mahmood as he lazily tried to dot down his bat.Stevens’ cameo knock for 27 ended when he chopped on against former team-mate Neil Dexter, then Collymore had Adam Ball snaffled at second slip with Kent still 45 short of a batting point. It took a bright stand of 57 for the ninth wicket – the second best of the innings – between Matt Coles (41) and James Tredwell (31) to take Kent through to 200 and their sole batting point.Tredwell’s fun ended when he dragged one from Collymore onto middle stump, then Coles pulled one from Murtagh into the hands of Jamie Dalrymple on the ropes at deep midwicket.

جيرارد يحث بيلينجهام على الانتقال إلى ليفربول: سأذهب شخصيًا لإقناعه

حث ستيفن جيرارد، النجم السابق لفريق ليفربول، جود بيلينجهام لاعب بوروسيا دورتموند على الانتقال إلى ملعب الأنفيلد.

ويُعد ليفربول أحد الأندية المتنافسة على ضم لاعب الوسط الإنجليزي، إلى جانب فرق أخرى مثل ريال مدريد وبرشلونة وبايرن ميونخ.

وقال جيرارد في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “مترو” الإنجليزية: “الصفقة الواضحة المناسبة لفريق ليفربول هو بيلينجهام، أنا متأكد من أنه ذكي بما يكفي للنظر إلى ليفربول، الذي لديه واحد من أفضل خمسة مدربين في العالم، إنهم يبنون ملعبًا جديدًا، ولديهم مرافق عالمية المستوى، لقد فازوا بالدوري الإنجليزي مؤخرًا، وكانوا في نهائيات دوري أبطال أوروبا كذلك”. 

وأضاف: “ما يثير إعجابي في بيلينجهام هو الطريقة التي يظهر بها، والطريقة التي يلعب بها، في كل مرة أشاهده يثير إعجابي، هو الشخص المناسب في ليفربول لأنني أعتقد أن هندرسون يكيف أسلوب لعبه، ويغطي أرنولد في الجانب الأيمن”.

وواصل: “تياجو هو أكثر من لاعب كرة قدم وفابينيو يبقى أعمق، لذا ليفربول يفتقر إلى اللاعب رقم 8 الذي يمكنه الوصول إلى منطقة الجزاء، لقد حصل بيلينجهام على تلك القوة”.

واستمر: “ولكن من المهم ألا نصبح مهووسين بلاعب خط وسط واحد، إنه نادي ليفربول، والجميع في جميع أنحاء العالم يعلمون أن ليفربول سيبحث عن لاعبي خط الوسط ويستكشفونه”.

عند سؤاله عما إذا كان بيلينجهام قد يكون قلقًا من مسار ليفربول، أجاب جيرارد: “توقيت سؤالك ليس عادلاً لأننا في منتصف الجدول الآن، لكنني متأكد من أن جود ذكي بما يكفي لإدراك أن ليفربول لديه أحد أفضل المدربين في العالم ولديهم سجل رائع في تطوير اللاعبين”.

وأكد: “أنا أريده! كل ما يحتاج إليه هو إرسال تاريخ في جدول أعماله وإخباري عندما يكون يوم فراغه، سأطير إلى دورتموند شخصيًا وأخذه إلى الخارج لتناول عشاء لطيف وسنتحدث سويًا”.

وأوضح: “أعتقد أنه من المهم أن يبقى في هذا البلد (إنجلترا)، أنت تتحدث عن مدريد وبرشلونة وبايرن، هو يبلغ من العمر 19 عامًا فقط، تلك الأندية على مستوى عالِ، يمكنك أن تدمرك إذا ذهبت مبكرًا إليها”.

واختتم: “في رأيي، العودة إلى إنجلترا حيث يمكن أن يتطور أمر مهم للغاية في الوقت الحالي”.

Pela terceira vez, Pleno do TJRJ adia julgamento no 'caso HD' do Vasco

MatériaMais Notícias

Pela terceira vez, o julgamento dos embargos de declaração opostos pelo Vasco contra a autorização da perícia no “caso HD” foi marcado pelo Órgão Especial e Pleno do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TJRJ), mas acabou não ocorrendo na tarde desta segunda-feira. E pela segunda vez, o adiamento aconteceu pela ausência do desembargador relator Gabriel de Oliveira Zefiro – vale lembrar que também ocorreu um adiamento por conta da escassez de combustível devido a greve dos caminhoneiros no mês passado.

Diferentemente das duas vezes anteriores, o julgamento do processo do HD do Vasco desta vez foi retirado de pauta – e não somente adiado. Com isso, a nova data para que os embargos de declaração serem julgados não é transferida automaticamente para a próxima sessão do Pleno do TJRJ – o que seria na próxima segunda, data única na semana que os desembargadores que são do colegiado se reúnem. Para que o julgamento seja novamente marcado, o relator terá que colocar em mesa o processo novamente – o que não há previsão de ocorrer.

Em abril, o Pleno do TJRJ havia decidido em ação do conflito de jurisdição entre a 12ª Câmara Cível do TJRJ e o Juizado Especial do Torcedor, criminal, onde as partes decidiram por não periciar e periciar o disco rígido, respectivamente, por unanimidade, ser a favor da realização da perícia pelo Juizado. Logo após a decisão, o Vasco entrou como interessado no processo – e por isso conseguiu entrar com recurso de embargo de declaração. Assinam os embargos de declaração os advogados do Vasco na ação: Rogério Peres, Chrisostomo Telerforo e Bruno Barata.

Estes recursos servem para sanar dúvida, omissão, contradição ou obscuridade de decisões impostas pelos colegiados. Por meio desta, o efeito transitado em julgado acaba postergando automaticamente, já que estes embargos precisam ser julgados. Mas não impedem a perícia que já está sendo realizada pelo Juizado Especial do Torcedor, em conjunto com a Delegacia de Defraudações que instaurou inquérito em novembro de 2017 por meio da delegada Patrícia de Paiva Aguiar. Mais de 400 sócios com fraudes já foram atestados nela e um ex-funcionário do clube já foi indiciado após pedido do Ministério Público do Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ).

Vale destacar também que por meio de embargos as decisões de mérito raramente são reformadas. Depois da decisão que for imposta pelo relator ainda caberá o recurso considerado “embargos dos embargos”, para apenas depois não ser mais possível recorrer na instância atual. Se as partes entenderem contestar após isso, terão de entrar com recursos em tribunais superiores, como o Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) e o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF). Mesmo se a perícia for concluída, se a decisão de mérito mudar, a prova poderá ser invalidada.

Enquanto a perícia segue e a decisão de mérito se mantém, de acordo com os resultados que vierem a ser colhidos pela perícia, o MPRJ e a oposição do Vasco – lideradas pelo grupo “Sempre Vasco”, de Julio Brant – poderão entrar com outros pedidos na ação – como possíveis prisões e nova eleição, refazendo todo o processo desde a Assembleia Geral e, consequentemente, anulando o pleito que culminou com a vitória de Alexandre Campello em janeiro deste ano. No julgamento de mérito em abril, o desembargador relator Gabriel Zefiro explicou o motivo de ter decidido a favor de liberar o disco para ser usado como prova, citando até a Lava Jato.

– Estamos vendo Lava Jato, essas prisões… Por que fazem isso? Têm provas. Precisamos ter provas. Não se destrói provas. Mantenho a minha decisão liminar. Cível produz a prova que achar que deve e o Criminal tem total independência para fazer o mesmo. Não há como a área cível impedir produções de provas na área criminal – destacou o desembargador Zefiro na oportunidade, sendo acompanhado sem objeções pelos 25 magistrados também presentes – apenas o desembargador Mauro Pereira Martins se declarou suspeito a votar no mérito por trabalhar junto com o Juizado Especial do Torcedor, uma das partes da ação.

A disputa judicial envolvendo o HD do Vasco acontece desde antes da eleição do Conselho Deliberativo do clube em novembro de 2017. Então candidato de oposição, Julio Brant foi a Justiça com o então aliado Alexandre Campello em busca do disco rígido dos sócios cruz-maltinos para a verificação da validade associativa dos mesmos para votar no pleito – isso por meio de uma perícia. Então presidente, Eurico Miranda agiu para que o HD não fosse periciado e conseguiu na 12ª Câmara Cível a devolução do mesmo, com o desembargador cível, na ocasião, acolhendo recurso cruz-maltino para que o disco rígido não fosse periciado.

Entretanto, o Juizado Especial do Torcedor, criminal, por meio de inquérito instaurado pela Delegacia de Defraudações, também entrou no caso, a favor da perícia, o que levou ao conflito de jurisdição. O departamento investiga possíveis fraudes na eleição do Vasco, podendo ter denúncias criminais. Por meio dos embargos de declaração, a atual gestão do Vasco tenta anular a decisão que o HD e a perícia nele sejam usados como provas – os embargos, porém, vale lembrar, foram impetrados antes do racha político em São Januário que culminou na saída de 13 vice-presidentes. O processo foi classificado no TJRJ como “falsidade ideológica, estelionato, quadrilha ou bando, crimes contra a fé pública, patrimônio e paz pública”.

Este processo do HD do Vasco não é ligado ao caso da urna 7, anulada pela 52ª Vara Cível do Tribunal de Justiça do Rio de Janeiro. Caso a perícia no disco rígido comprove irregularidades nos sócios que votaram em outras urnas, existe a possibilidade de o último pleito ser anulado e consequentemente refeito. Caso isso ocorra, também há a chance de na área criminal tenha possíveis condenações no curso da investigação da Delegacia de Defraudações e possíveis denúncias, com envolvidos podendo serem presos. Não há prazo pelo resultado final da perícia, mas a expectativa nos bastidores dos envolvidos é que seja ainda neste semestre.

حلمي طولان: تعرضت لمؤامرة في البنك الأهلي للإطاحة بي.. واللاعب المصري "نمرود"

تحدث حلمي طولان المدير الفني السابق لـ البنك الأهلي، عقب إقالته من قيادة تدريب الفريق، موضحاً التقصير لدى اللاعبيين وأنهم تعمدوا الإطاحه به بمساعدة أعضاء داخل مجلس الإدارة.

وكانت لجنة الكرة بنادي البنك الأهلي قد قررت برئاسة اللواء أشرف نصار، توجيه الشكر لحلمي طولان المدير الفني وجهازه المعاون على ما قدموه خلال الفترة الماضية.

وقال حلمي طولان في تصريحات تلفزيونية عبر قناة “المحور”: “هناك مجموعة من اللاعبين في الفريق (متدلعة ومدللة) منذ سنتين ونصف، وتسببت في مشاكل كثيرة جدًا، (ناقص تنزل الملعب ببزازة)، البنك الأهلي ينقصه الكثير في الجانب الاحترافي والبدني، وفوجئت بكمية (دلع وطبطبة وأحضان وهزار) غير عادية، هناك مجموعة لا تريد الالتزام والنظام في الملعب”.

وأضاف: “يوجد لاعبون في الفريق كانوا يأتون إلى التدريبات وهم يسيرون ويبدأون بربط الأحذية وآخرون لا يحبون الانضباط”.

وأوضح: “بعض لاعبي البنك الأهلي تعمدوا الإطاحة بي بمساعدة أشخاص داخل النادي، والبعض في الجهاز الفني كان يبلغ اللاعبين أن الجهاز الفني سيرحل بعد مباراة المقاولون العرب”.

وواصل: “كنت أحاسب بالمباراة والدليل أن الإدارة قررت رحيلي قبل مباراة المقاولون العرب ثم قرروا عودتي وتمت محاسبتي بالمباراة، العشوائية موجوده في الإدارة وكذلك دلع بعض اللاعبين المتحكم الأول في البنك الأهلي وهذا ساهم في رحيلي، وأبلغت المشرف على الكرة بالبنك الأهلي تخلصوا من (السوس والقاذورات) داخل النادي”.

وأكد: “لن أغير أسلوبي التدريبي الصارم مع اللاعب المصري، (نمرود ولو سبته هيركب)، المبالغ الرهيبة التي يحصل عليها اللاعب تغير من سلوكياته بشكل كبير جدًا، وكذلك الأمر الإعلام يغير من سلوكيات اللاعبين بشكل كبير، اللاعب كان يحصل على 30 ألف جنيه وبعد ذلك يحصل على 6 ملايين جنيه، بالطبع سيتغير”.

وأردف: “ما حدث من بعض لاعبي البنك الأهلي في مباراة الداخلية والمقاولون العرب عار على الكرة المصرية، والكل كان يعلم أننا سنرحل بعد المباراة، هذه التجربة أتمنى أن أمحيها من ذاكرتي وتاريخي التدريبي”.

وأكمل: “لا كرامة لعالم في وطنه، وأكبر دليل على ذلك كل ما حدث مع المدربين المصريين الذين تولوا تدريب منتخب مصر، لا أسعى لتدريب المنتخب ولم أحزن على عدم تولي مسؤولية المنتخب”.

واستطرد: “حازم إمام وعامر حسين عرضا علي تدريب منتخب مصر الأولمبي وبمقابل مالي كبير ورفضت، وتوليت المسؤولية الفنية للمنتخب الأولمبي في وقت سابق فبدلاً من أن ترشحني لمنتخب مصر الأول ترشحني للمنتخب الأولمبي؟، أحد أبنائي تولى المهمة الفنية لمنتخب مصر، وأنا كرجل أكبر يتولى المهمة الفنية للمنتخب الأولمبي؟”.

واختتم: “سألوني في النادي الأهلي عن جون إيبوكا وقلت لهم إنه مهاجم رائع، يمتلك مميزات كثيرة جدًا، إيبوكا من الجانب البدني قوي جدًا، قادر على الاستلام تحت ضغط، قدمه قوية جدًا ومهاجم تقليدي رقم 9، خضع للاختبار في إنبي لمدة شهر قبل التعاقد معه، حتى اقتنعنا به أنا والجهاز الفني، وتعاقدنا معه بشكل حر”.

Hameed sets sights on comeback

Yasir Hameed: “There are now several players in the national team who are over 30 and they are performing well [and that] has encouraged me to not give up hope of playing for Pakistan again”•AFP

Yasir Hameed, the Pakistan batsman, has set his sights on a return to the national team after serving his ban from domestic cricket last season. Hameed, 33, was banned by the PCB earlier this year for for his interview with an undercover reporter from in the immediate aftermath of the spot-fixing controversy last year.Last month, Hameed won a partial victory in his battle with the tabloid, which published its final issue on Sunday, getting it to remove the video and story of him discussing the Lord’s spot-fixing scandal as well as an approach by a bookie in 2004.”The board’s disciplinary committee had fined me Rs 300,000 and banned me for the second half of the last domestic season,” Hameed was quoted as saying in the . “I have paid the fine and also served my ban.”Hameed has played 25 Tests and 56 one-dayers but hasn’t represented Pakistan since that Lord’s Test. “I now just want to focus on my cricket again and I have started training hard,” he said. “I am 33 and I feel I can still give a lot to the team.”There are now several players in the national team who are over 30 and they are performing well which has encouraged me to not give up hope of playing for Pakistan again.” Nearly half the Pakistan line-up in their most recent Test, against West Indies in May, was over 30 years old.Hameed’s immediate target was hitting form in the upcoming domestic season. “I will try to win back the confidence of selectors and board with my performances because that is what matters,” he said.
