A round-up of the third day of the fourth round of matches in Division One of the Quaid-E-Azam Trophy

ESPNcricinfo staff13-Nov-2010Habib Bank Limited kept pace with Water and Power Development Authority at top of the table after the third round with a ten-wicket thrashing of Sialkot at the Jinnah Stadium. Their hero was 19-year-old Ahmed Shehzad, who played four one-day internationals for Pakistan last year. Shehzad first polished off the Sialkot tail with his legspinners, finishing with 4 for 20 to leave HBL a target of 161. Then, he opened the batting for HBL and powered them to victory with his fifth first-class century, a hurricane effort with four sixes and 17 fours. Bilal Shafayat, who also plays for Nottinghamshire, made a more patient 48 as HBL knocked off the target in 24.5 overs.At the Diamond Club, Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited completed an innings-and-12-run victory over Islamabad and moved to third spot. Starting the day trailing by 135, and having already lost four second-innings wickets, Islamabad could at best hope to salvage a draw. Overnight batsman, Zeeshan Mushtaq, made his third first-class century, but there was little support from his team-mates except for Rashid Amin (36). The pair put on 85 for the sixth wicket to take Islamabad within 21 runs of making ZTBL bat again, but left-arm quick bowler Mohammad Khalil and left-arm spinner Raza Hasan sparked a lower-order collapse – Islamabad sank to defeat as the last five wickets went down for nine runs.In a thrilling match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, 22-year-old fast bowler Asad Ali scythed through the Rawalpindi batting to snatch a 35-run win for Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited. Rawalpindi started the day on top, at 3 for 1 chasing a tiny target of 146. The day started well for them as their captain Babar Naeem and No. 3 Haseeb Azam guided the total to 47 for 1. After a couple of quick wickets, Naeem and Muzammil Nizam kept Rawalpindi on course for victory, taking them to 87 for 3. A spectacular collapse followed as Rawalpindi had no answer to Asad and Imran Ali – seven wickets going down for 23 runs, the final five for only six runs. It was SNGPL’s second win of the season and leaves them in fourth spot.There was no such excitement at the Iqbal Stadium, where Faisalabad and Pakistan International Airlines played out a draw. The first innings was completed about an hour into the final day’s play, when Faisalabad were bowled out for 350, trailing by 88. Led by Shoaib Malik’s half-century, PIA made a brisk 186 for 4 before declaring. Faisalabad had little chance of chasing down the target of 275 in 25 overs, and blocked their way to 51 for 2 before the match was called off.The match at the National Stadium was also drawn, though it was a more interesting affair. Fawad Alam hit his ninth first-class hundred in a one-man show for National Bank of Pakistan, making 138 out of the 241 NBP managed, with six of the batsmen making single-digit scores. Karachi Blues were left with a target of 299 in 60 overs, which they set about chasing with gusto. Three quick wickets, though, reduced them to 68 for 3 after which they were more sedate. Akbar-ur-Rehman made a breezy maiden first-class hundred and put on 155 with Ahmed Iqbal, who scored a dour 52. Karachi ended up on 246 for 5 when the match was called off.

Journalist Tim Spiers has hailed Jonny’s ‘near-perfect’ performance for Wolves away to Burnley in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Lowdown: Wolves lose at Burnley

Bruno Lage’s side made the trip to Turf Moor in what was an important game for both sides, with European football still on offer for Wanderers.

It was a cagey game against the relegation-threatened but Burnley took the lead through Matej Vydra midway through the second half and held on for a priceless win.

One player who started proceedings was Jonny, as he enjoyed a good afternoon at the office, despite the result.

The Latest: Spiers hails Jonny display

Taking to Twitter during the game, Spiers lauded the Spaniard’s impact against Burnley, barring one minor hiccup:

“Jonny’s near-perfect performance is blemished by a stray pass.”

[freshpress-poll id=“388780″]

The Verdict: Impressive return from injury

While the result at Turf Moor was undoubtedly disappointing, Lage can at least take heart from the manner in which Jonny has returned from a serious long-term injury.

The 28-year-old has scored twice in eight appearances since coming back into the side in February, offering attacking thrust but also defensive expertise.

It is heart-warming to see Jonny back to his best after what may have been considered a career-threatening knee problem and he should continue to be a key man moving forward.

The Bombay High Court has granted Kings XI Punjab an interim stay on its expulsion from the IPL but said the franchise would have to satisfy certain conditions, including retaining the shareholding pattern and paying the BCCI a security for player fees

Nagraj Gollapudi08-Dec-2010The Bombay High Court has granted Kings XI Punjab an interim stay on its expulsion from the IPL but said the franchise will have to satisfy certain conditions, including retaining its shareholding pattern, fulfilling pending player payments and paying the BCCI guarantee money in case the final judgement goes against them. The court also rejected Punjab’s request to defer the date for submission of the list of players they would like to retain for the fourth edition of the league, the deadline for which expires today. Punjab have until midnight to finalise their list.After listening to both parties over the last two days, Judge SJ Vajifdar said that “prima facie” Punjab had a strong case against the expulsion and the “interim injunction” was only just. But his verdict carried many riders, the most important being that the franchise cannot change its shareholding pattern and the control should rest in the hands of the four main owners: Ness Wadia, Preity Zinta, Mohit Burman and Karan Paul. The court said that these four needed to hold not less than 51% of the shares in KPH Dream Cricket Pvt. Ltd – the rights-holding company of the franchise – until the final judgement. Punjab’s owners refrained from commenting on the issue before they received the court order in hand tomorrow.In the interim, Punjab will have to submit various guarantees to the court and the BCCI. The first is clearing the pending payments to its players over the last two years, an amount running up to Rs.35 crore ($7.77 million). And now, since the franchise is free to re-enter the IPL arena, the court has asked it to commit an amount of $18 million for the next two years (at the rate of $9 million per year) as guarantee money for player payments in case the franchise participates in the league.”When they [Punjab] sign up players, their contracts are for two years,” CA Sundaram, BCCI’s lawyer in the case explained. “And in case they lose the arbitration the players’ contract must be honoured. Hence the bank guarantee for of $18 million which is two years’ contract money for players.”The other important condition the court asked Punjab to fulfill was to pay the BCCI $3.5 million per year for a period of two years, as security towards any damage incurred by the board in case the final verdict went against Punjab later on.”For the time being they have been permitted to participate but on very stringent conditions where they have to furnish various assurances and papers,” Sundaram said. “Importantly all these are only pending the final decision in the arbitration proceedings as an ad interim measure.”When asked whether BCCI had considered challenging the verdict in a higher court, Sundaram said the decision would be made when the order is in hand.Wednesday’s news will be seen as another blow to the IPL, whose 2011 tournament has been put increasingly at risk by a succession of court cases. While the Rajasthan and Punjab franchises were embroiled in courtroom battles, a third (Kochi) barely made it over the line. As a result of the controversies, the player auction for the season has been delayed by several months.In October the BCCI had terminated Punjab, holding the franchise guilty for violating the franchise agreement on three counts, the biggest offence being that the ownership had changed twice in the first three years of the league, something that went unreported to the Indian board.The franchise moved court last month seeking redressal for the cancellation of its IPL contract. Its petition contended that the termination was a “deliberate and calculated” move to ensure a new and more lucrative re-bidding process. Both parties then decided to opt for the arbitration process, but that too got embroiled in controversy when the arbitrator, Justice BN Srikrishna, recused himself after admitting to the BCCI that he had been legal counsel for the Wadia Group, part owners of Punjab, for many years.At that point the issue seemed to be snowballing into another protracted battle, just like the one Rajasthan Royals had got involved in with the BCCI. But Punjab rushed to the High Court for help and have now found new crutches to lean on before building their case in front of the arbitrator.The confusion over the eventual number of teams that will be involved next season affects every component of the world’s most lucrative domestic league: its teams/ franchises, its players and its very structure.

Alan Hutton has dropped a Glasgow Rangers claim after what he has heard involving Kemar Roofe ahead of Thursday’s Europa League semi-final.

The Lowdown: Available?

As per The Scottish Sun, Roofe is winning his fitness battle to feature in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final against RB Leipzig at Ibrox, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst is optimistic that he will play a part.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/rangers-news-4/” title=”Rangers news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

However, in his pre-game press conference ahead of the match, the Dutch manager admitted that he ‘can’t say‘ for sure that the striker will make the squad, casting doubt on the validity of reports suggesting he’ll return.

The Latest: Hutton reacts

Speaking to Football Insider after hearing those updates, former Teddy Bears right-back now Rangers TV pundit Hutton has claimed that his old team should play Roofe if he is ready, as it is simply a ‘huge’ game for them: “It’s a difficult one, isn’t it?

“On one side, I’m saying yes, take the gamble. If he’s training and he says he’s ready to go then you play him.

“You have to play them because this is huge. We do say it week after week but this is the next game and it is the biggest game.

“Obviously you’ve got a cup final coming up but I don’t think you can rest somebody just for that. If he’s fit and available, I think you play him.”

The Verdict: Worth the risk

Of course, Roofe may not be fully fit, and may suffer from a lack of match sharpness, but adding him to the squad is surely worth the risk given what is at stake.

The Light Blues trail 1-0 from the first leg, and Roofe is their second-top scorer behind Alfredo Morelos this season, with 16 goals in total over all competitions so far.

Nonetheless, van Bronckhorst would surely want to play with an out-and-out number nine in order to not complicate his tactics or system, and if Roofe is ready, he should be unleashed upon the Leipzig defence.

Graeme Swann will be out of action for up to two weeks after picking up a knee injury against Australia

Andrew McGlashan in Hobart19-Jan-2011Graeme Swann will be out of action for up to two weeks after picking up a knee injury against Australia. He sustained the problem during the first Twenty20 in Adelaide and played on over the weekend in Melbourne but was forced to leave the field during the first one-day international.”He’s got a slightly strangely formed knee cap on his left knee,” Andy Flower, the England team director, said. “He got hit and it is badly bruised and quite painful so he won’t be playing in the next game and might have to rest for 10 days to two weeks.”Swann was the pick of England’s bowlers at the MCG taking 1 for 42 from his 10 overs as the visitors failed to defend 295 with Shane Watson hitting an unbeaten 161. His absence will be a major blow for England, who are already without James Anderson and Stuart Broad, as they aim to level the series because their one-day cricket is heavily based around the duel spin attack of Swann and Michael Yardy. Although, in the long run, a short break for the No. 1 spinner in the world may not be the worst thing after the exertions of the Ashes series.If England decide to retain two spinners in Hobart it will mean a chance for James Tredwell, the Kent offspinner, to add to his two ODI caps. Whoever makes up the bowling attack will have to come up with a way of stopping Watson who finally converted his consistent form into a matchwinning innings in Melbourne.”The standout performance was Watson, who played an incredible innings,” Flower said. “I thought we had periods of some very good cricket and then the odd occasion where we let slip the advantage and the momentum we had gained in the game. That’s both with bat and ball. Early wickets are always important in 50-over cricket and that’s what we will be aiming for.”In the absence of Anderson and Broad, the pace attack is light on experience with a lot of pressure on Tim Bresnan who went for 71 at the MCG. Anderson is due back in Australia at the weekend when the tour moves to Sydney and will be available for selection for Adelaide on January 26. Broad, who has been out of action since the second Ashes Test with a stomach injury, is flying back with Anderson but isn’t expected to take part in the series.”We don’t anticipate Broad playing in this series,” Flower said. “It would be a surprise if he got up to speed in time to do that but it’s better for him to be out here with us rather than in the middle of an English winter back home.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp must ruthlessly axe “influential” club captain Jordan Henderson as he is the weakness in their midfield and a better replacement is needed in the summer.

On the chalkboard

Liverpool are fighting on all fronts at the moment and are hunting down an unprecedented quadruple. But they face stiff competition from Real Madrid in the Champions League and Manchester City in the Premier League, and they veered slightly off course in the title race when failing to beat Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-liverpool-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-salah-gnabry-isak-romano” title= “Read the latest Liverpool news!”]

Henderson was one the players who failed to shine in the game at Anfield and was substituted after 65 minutes being replaced by Diogo Jota. He failed to make a single tackle in the whole time he was on the pitch and barely contributed. Furthermore, he gave up possession of the ball every five minutes which will have been a key factor in the team dropping points.

Whilst his leadership and strong voice in the dressing room might go unmatched, there’s only so many times you can use that as a reason to be playing him.

Henderson has been a vital part of Liverpool’s success in recent years but there is a feeling that his qualities are slightly diminishing, with Roy Keane describing him as a “cheerleader” and questioning why he was in the England squad during Euro 2020.

The 31-year old moved to Merseyside from his boyhood club Sunderland in 2011 and is currently the longest-serving player at the club. He is, and always will be considered a legend in the eyes of the fans, and he has rightly earnt that status. However, he is no longer a player who is capable starting every week for one of the best teams in Europe.

Liverpool have to accept that and Klopp has to make it his priority to bring in a third world class midfielder to sit alongside Fabinho and Thiago next season.

If you compare Henderson to them both he doesn’t produce performances that are close to what they consistently produce. Both players have a higher pass completion percentage that the Englishman and have successfully completed more dribbles.

Henderson’s time at Anfield isn’t necessarily over, but the club need to rely on him less if they are to keep competing at the highest level. He still has a major role to play in the squad as a leader and captain, just not as a player who is a key starter.

New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori, who was rested for the Twenty20 series against Pakistan, picked up three wickets on the second day of the tour game between New Zealand Cricket XI and the Pakistanis at Cobham Oval (New) in Whangarei

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Jan-2011Pakistanis 234 for 8 (Misbah 99*, Vettori 3-26, Marin 3-52) trail NZC XI 384 all out (McCullum 206, Tanvir 4-63, Gul 3-61) by 150 runs
ScorecardMisbah-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, defied the New Zealand bowlers with an unbeaten 99•Getty ImagesNew Zealand captain Daniel Vettori, who was rested for the Twenty20 series against Pakistan, picked up three wickets on the second day of the tour game against the Pakistanis, who were struggling in Whangarei despite captain Misbah-ul-Haq’s unbeaten 99. New Zealand, who ended the first day on a comfortable 342 for 4, collapsed to 384 all out on the second morning. Fast bowlers Umar Gul and Sohail Tanvir, who shared seven wickets between them, ran through the New Zealand middle and lower order as New Zealand lost 6 for 42.The Pakistani innings got off to a disastrous start as Chris Martin’s early burst left them reeling at 22 for 3 after seven overs. Mohammad Hafeez was the first to go, caught behind off Martin in the first over before Taufeeq Umar was dismissed similarly in Martin’s next over. Younis Khan soon followed, also caught behind for 7.At 39 for 4, when Azhar Ali was trapped lbw by Trent Boult, a familiar Pakistani batting collapse looked imminent but it was avoided through Misbah’s efforts. He had a solid first Test series as captain, scoring three-half-centuries in two matches against South Africa and he continued to be in good touch. He and Asad Shafiq steadied the innings with a 52-run fourth-wicket partnership before Shafiq was dismissed by Vettori.That brought wicketkeeper Adnan Akmal to the crease, who played positively, hitting seven boundaries in his 31-ball 35. His partnership of 57 with Misbah carried Pakistan to 148 before he was dismissed by James Franklin. Misbah also received good support from Abdur Rehman (20) and Umar Gul (24), as the Pakistani lower order showed some fight. Vettori dismissed both Rehman and Gul and Pakistan ended the day on 234 for 8, still trailing New Zealand by 150 runs with Misbah unbeaten on 99.The first Test between Pakistan and New Zealand begins in Hamilton on January 7 and while the visitors will be pleased at how their bowlers bounced back on the second day, the indifferent form of their batting will be a worry.

A huge development has emerged which will hand Ross Wilson and Rangers a major boost heading into the summer transfer window.

What’s the talk?

According to German outlet WAZ, one Gers transfer target looks set to leave his current club at the end of the season, as they are on the lookout for a replacement.

The report claims that Schalke 04, recently promoted to the Bundesliga, are in the market for a new goalkeeper as Martin Fraisl’s contract expires at the end of next month.

Gers faithful will be buzzing

Rangers fans will surely be buzzing with this news, as it suggests that the club will be able to snap up the shot-stopper on a free transfer this summer.

The Gers and soon-to-be English Championship side Norwich are both reportedly keen on the 29-year-0ld goalkeeper and will be rubbing their hands together with glee at this update. Instead of needing to splash out on a transfer fee to convince Schalke to part ways with him, they will be able to go straight into negotiations with the player and his agent.

This means that Fraisl would be a cheap addition to the squad in comparison to signing someone on who the club would need to lash out a big sum of money to entice them from their current club, which is why this update is a huge boost for the Light Blues.

Supporters will also be delighted by the prospect of the ‘keeper coming in, as he would be a much-needed signing for Rangers. FFC published an article covering the news that Allan McGregor is close to penning a new contract at the club and explained why he needs a younger goalkeeper to challenge him next season.

Fraisl can do exactly that, as he has enjoyed a solid season between the sticks in Germany. He has averaged a SofaScore rating of 6.79 across 26 starts in the 2. Bundesliga, making only one error directly leading to a goal throughout the campaign, in comparison to McGregor’s three.

The Austrian is also 11 years younger than the Ibrox veteran, which means that he can be a long-term option for Van Bronckhorst. Instead of going from one year to the next wondering whether or not McGregor will be able to continue for another season, Rangers can transition into Fraisl being the first-choice for years to come – if he is able to impress in Glasgow.

Sri Lanka’s batsmen amassed 351 and their bowlers did an efficient job as they cruised to a 156-run victory in their World Cup warm-up match against Netherlands in Colombo

ESPNcricinfo staff12-Feb-2011
ScorecardDilhara Fernando picked up four wickets as Sri Lanka bowled Netherlands out for 195•AFPIt was a perfect day for Sri Lanka at the SSC in Colombo, as none of their senior players had to strain while the younger batsmen and back-up bowlers got some handy runs and wickets under their belts. After winning the toss, Sri Lanka amassed 351 without requiring either captain Kumar Sangakkara or vice-captain Mahela Jayawardene to have a bat.The opening combination of Upul Tharanga and Tillakaratne Dilshan showed what they are capable of with a 117-run stand. The two have five century partnerships in ODIs and average 51.20 as an opening pair. The brisk start allowed Sri Lanka to experiment with their batting line-up. Thilan Samaraweera was pushed up to No. 3 with Angleo Mathews, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera and even Nuwan Kulasekara batting ahead of Sangakkara and Jayawardene.Dilshan led the way, his 78 coming at a run a ball, with 12 boundaries, including some typically unorthodox shots. Samaraweera, who is often accused of batting too slowly to be successful in ODIs, got his 60 in just 59 balls, a fair clip faster than his career strike-rate of 68.67. Silva and Kapugedera both got quick half-centuries; something that will please Sri Lanka as the inexperience in their middle order has been a bit of a worry.The Sri Lankan innings was paced perfectly, with the batsmen making maximum use of the batting Powerplay, smashing 61 runs between the 44th and 48th over.From Netherlands’ point of view, only a couple of their bowlers managed to come out of the onslaught with respectable figures. Seamer Mudassar Bukhari took 2 for 52 in his 10 overs, while left-arm spinner Pieter Seelaar was the most economical of the bowlers, going at 4.40 in his 10 overs.Sri Lanka’s back-up bowlers had recently done the job for them in the third ODI of the home series against West Indies and continued their form in the warm-up match. Dilhara Fernando took 4 for 43, while Rangana Herath picked up a couple of wickets.The one positive Netherlands will take out of the game was the form of Tom de Grooth, who scored 76. Their top order didn’t contribute much, with their star player Ryan ten Doeschate falling to Thisara Perera for one.De Grooth’s knock ensured Sri Lanka were at least given a full-day’s work-out, as Netherlands lasted till the 48th over in their chase.

Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, has said that an online ticket ballot is the best way to deal with the heavy demand for the ruling body’s “flagship event”

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Feb-2011Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, shook off the World Cup ticketing fiasco, saying that the ticket ballot which is about to be instituted for the finals and semi-finals was the best way to deal with the heavy demand for the ruling body’s “flagship event”.”It is a much fairer way,” Lorgat said. “It will avoid the kind of physical risks we want to avoid and I am confident that will be a much better system to release tickets.” The lack of a centralised ticketing system in the Indian arm of the three-nation World Cup has exposed two major issues: the lopsided availability of public tickets as well as a delayed distribution system by local associations, which has led to anger from fans and disgruntlement amongst sponsors.Speaking in Bangalore, Lorgat described the police baton-charge on the crowd queuing outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium as, “unfortunate” but that “you have to accept that the rush for tickets is an indication of how popular this game is. Those are scenes we would not like to see, none of us would like to see that. It is also a fact that the local police and the local associations know best how to handle it. It is something we have no control over.”Lorgat said the letter written by the ICC’s legal head David Becker to ICC president Sharad Pawar in his capacity as the chairman of the central co-ordination committee, “was not an issue”. He said he had spoken to Pawar and the tournament director Ratnakar Shetty, several times since the letter became public and was sure the issue would be resolved.”From time to time we turn to the President or in this case the chairman of the central co-ordinating committee, Mr Sharad Pawar, to intervene or to assist us with issues we are having difficulty with. In the past, whether it was issues related to visa or any other, the good offices of Mr Pawar have been very supportive and he has assisted us to sort out those issues. I’m sure that in this instance as well having turned to him for that sort of support, we will get it… Professor Shetty is entitled to react in the fashion that he did but I have no qualms about that.”He said that contrary to common perception, and the tone of the Becker letter, “there’s no sponsor who wants to walk away. In fact many are wanting to come in. That’s again a reflection of how fortunate we are and the strength of the game, but yes, we do have challenges with managing the requests of sponsors and their needs to receive physical tickets so that they can distribute it further to the public.”Lorgat did point out that the hosts of every ICC event were in charge of the sale of tickets and that the ICC sets and agrees on certain policies with them “well in advance” along with “several commitments” It is a fact of life that we have commitments to the sponsors who support us over a long period in our cycle. It is a fact that local hosts have a commitment whether it is to local organisations, whether it is to clubs, whether through the BCCI.”Lorgat said the diverse distribution of tickets through various means across Indian venues mean that they find their hands of cricket lovers. “What is unfortunate is that there is a few number that go to the public as a general sale, but whether it is through the clubs, through associates, through ICC channels they do arrive at the door of the public.”All through his media conference Lorgat repeated made the claim that the ticketing crisis and the official ticketing website crashing when tickets for the final went on sale, proved the ‘strength of the game’, and that the supply would never be able to catch up with demand. “This is how wonderful the growth in our sport has been. It is a reflection of the popularity of the game. It certainly negates those naysayers about the demise of 50-over cricket; it shows you what the flagship event means. Sure we need to find better ways of being able to distribute tickets, but the reality is if tomorrow [we had] a 100,000-seater, we would still not have enough tickets to satisfy the demand.”When asked when a centralised ticketing system would be put in place by the organisers of the 2015 World Cup, Lorgat said, “If my memory serves me correctly, that’s exactly how the 2015 will work in any event in Australia and New Zealand. These are the reflections we will have to consider and look at improving the mechanisms in future.”With the World Cup being the first use of the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) in an ODI, Lorgat said that he thought the “bold decision” had been a good one. The future of UDRS in ODIs, he said, would only be made after a review of the feedback of the World Cup experience at a ICC cricket committee meeting in May. “That expert committee will consider all of the feedback and will decide on the way forward in so far as one-day cricket is concerned.”
