Jacqueline Hey, Cricket Australia’s first-ever female board director, has pledged to do a “damn good job” running the game
Daniel Brettig25-Oct-2012Jacquie Hey, Cricket Australia’s first-ever female board director, has pledged to do a “damn good job” running the game, stating her desire to smooth the path for other women to follow her into what had for 107 years been a pale, stale and male world of cricket governance.Formally sworn in as part of CA’s streamlined board at the AGM on Thursday, Hey joined the Rio Tinto Australia managing director David Peever and the former Colorado Group chief executive Kevin Roberts as fresh sets of eyes in the boardroom. Hey’s background is with Sony Ericsson, while she is currently a director on the boards of Bendigo Bank and SBS.The trio form part of a board that is the result of the Crawford/Carter review of Australian cricket governance, which pushed CA to abandon the tired federal model of a 14-man board that had remained more or less unchanged since 1905.Irrespective of compelling business credentials, it was Hey’s admission as the first female board member that felt most significant, and she acknowledged with some pride that another avenue had now been opened for women.”I’m so proud and privileged and honoured to be given this role,” Hey said. “It’s deep inside me that I really feel how important this is, and how important that I do a damn good job, because I want to make sure that I’m not the first and only, but I’m the first of many women that are involved in administration and board roles in cricket.”There are some at the state level already, which is fantastic. So I’m here, I’m on show and I will do a good job and make sure there are many more women following me.”Hey’s love for the game is deep, fostered by a childhood spent playing beach cricket with her father and brother on the Victorian coast south of Geelong. An avowed lover of Test cricket, she confessed to clearing her schedule at times in order to watch five days of the game’s enduring form, and winced at the memory of Australia’s 2005 Ashes loss when she was working with Ericsson in England – and copping a predictable level of banter.”I think it is important to have the three [formats],” she said. “If I look at myself, I’ve grown up with Test cricket, day one of a Test match, if I’m not at the ground it’s like ‘don’t disturb me, because I’m sitting on my couch and I’m watching’. But I have a son who’s nearly nine, and he doesn’t have the attention span to sit for five days and watch it, but he will love to get involved in T20, the colours and the music and so on. So I think it is really important that we continue to maintain that balance, because there are different cricketing sectors out there who do appreciate different types of the game, and some who appreciate all of them.”The new, nine-person board begins its tenure at a time when CA are negotiating a new round of local media rights. While the incumbent – and cash-strapped – Nine Network has the luxury of an exclusive negotiating period, other suitors may well be found for the Twenty20 Big Bash League. Hey’s background with Ericsson and more recent experience with SBS gives her an insight into the rights issue, especially those in the burgeoning digital field. Previously CA’s digital content was made available through 3 Mobile and Vodafone, but with their sponsorship agreement coming to an end it may be time for a new approach.”I think with sport generally these days, and you can go back a long way, the content has always been the key thing in a digital environment,” Hey said. “So clever companies develop all sorts of websites and all sorts of interactions for ways to deal with customers, but the content has always been at the centre of that.”So I think for CA the challenge, looking at it from the outside in as a technology person, is you own a fabulous amount of content there, so what does CA do with it. They have a large number of options open to them, which I know is something they’re thinking about. They have a fantastic website today which is really engaging, bright and colourful and informative and that’s a good start … there’s a lot more they could do.”As for CA’s stated desire to grow the game’s audience to better reflect the diversity of 21st century Australia, Hey can see enough evidence of strong words being backed by action. Her ascension to the board is but one example, the BBL’s push away from traditional team identities and logos another.”In doing things like voting me onto the board today, they’re not just talking about it, they’re actually doing things about it,” she said. “That’s a fantastic step for females, and they’re also embracing multicultural Australia and recognising there are a lot of people coming to Australia from overseas who come from both cricketing backgrounds, for example Indians, or non-cricketing backgrounds with a lot of the African nations coming in.”But sport has always been that thing that has united people, across different cultures and different boundaries. I think it is fantastic that CA is both strategically and practically making sure they’re part of that embrace of different cultures.”

New Zealand batsman Dean Brownlie will travel to India in October, to work on his batting in spinner-friendly conditions. Brownlie, who was dropped from the New Zealand squad after a poor tour of the Caribbean, said he had been looking to take up such a training stint for ‘a couple of years’.”I’ve wanted this for quite a while,” Brownlie told . “I’ve been pushing for this for a couple of years, because I didn’t want to waste a tour – I suppose, like I did [against West Indies] – working out my best way to play in those conditions. But the cricket has been so full on and so busy, so it’s been hard to get the time to do it.”Brownlie will train at a Mumbai academy for five days, before heading to Pune to play in a few local matches. He will leave for India soon after the completion of New Zealand A’s home series against India A, which runs from September 18 to October 6.In the Caribbean, Brownlie had been dismissed on five occasions out of nine (including the tour game against WICB President’s XI) by the spinners, and got into double digits only twice on the tour, with a highest of 35.More than the technical aspects of his game, though, it is the mental side of it that needed some working on, Brownlie said. “It’s not so much about making big changes,” he said. “I need to learn to trust my game a little bit more. I realise it shouldn’t have taken six weeks on tour [in the West Indies] to realise what I was doing wrong, but it did.”I think I can play spin well, but I do need to work on how I play it in those [slow, low] conditions.”

O Palmeiras informou nesta segunda-feira que cogitou mandar o treino de terça para o Allianz Parque e abrir a atividade para o público, mas o regulamento da Conmebol frustrou os planos. A ideia era aproximar a torcida no último trabalho antes do confronto com o Boca Juniors (ARG), quarta, às 21h45, na própria arena, pela semifinal da Libertadores.
“Ao contrário do que foi propagado em redes sociais, o treinamento do Palmeiras na terça-feira (30) não será realizado no Allianz Parque. O desejo da diretoria era trazer o torcedor para a última atividade antes do duelo com o Boca Juniors, porém o regulamento da Conmebol Libertadores não permite que haja treino no mesmo gramado do jogo na véspera da partida.
O elenco alviverde se reapresentará nesta segunda (29), às 15h30, na Academia de Futebol, em treino fechado para a imprensa – os jornalistas terão acesso ao aquecimento dos atletas. Na terça, a atividade também será na Academia, às 15h30, novamente com a imprensa tendo acesso aos primeiros minutos de trabalho”, diz a nota publicada pelo Verdão no site oficial.
A equipe precisará reverter a derrota sofrida por 2 a 0 na Bombonera para chegar à final da Libertadores. Como o gol fora de casa é critério de desempate, o único triunfo por dois gols de diferença que serve para o Palmeiras é o 2 a 0, que levaria a decisão aos pênaltis. Caso vença por três ou mais gols, o Verdão avançará diretamente para a decisão.
Na viagem para Buenos Aires, a torcida deu uma demonstração de apoio e fez o “Aeroporco” no embarque em Guarulhos (SP). Cerca de 35 mil ingressos já foram vendidos para a volta, e a expectativa é de que o Allianz Parque esteja lotado no reencontro desta quarta.

Herschelle Gibbs thrashed an unbeaten 83 off 58 balls as Durham beat Derbyshire by eight wickets with 17 balls to spare in Wednesday night’s Friends Life t20 match at Chester-le-Street.Derbyshire’s 131 for 7 was more than had looked likely for most of their innings but 45 came off the last four overs as former Durham player Garry Park made an unbeaten 29 off 20 balls.Derbyshire chose to bat on a cloudy evening and took 10 off the first over but needed a further four overs to double that tally, while losing two wickets. Wes Durston pulled Chris Rushworth to Ben Stokes on the square leg boundary, while Graham Onions conceded only two runs in his first two overs and struck with his ninth ball.He swung the ball away from left-hander Ross Whiteley, who followed it and edged to Phil Mustard, recording a five-ball duck. Usman Khawaja and skipper Wayne Madsen put on 52 in eight overs before spinners Gareth Breese and Scott Borthwick both struck with their sixth ball.Khawaja was well caught just inside the long-on boundary by Onions for 33, made off 38 balls, then Chesney Hughes went down the pitch and was bowled by Borthwick. Madsen had made 27 off 30 balls when he skied a straight drive off Borthwick and Johann Myburgh ran in from long-on to hold a well judged catch.Jon Clare boosted the total with a swift 17, but it was plain sailing for the Durham openers as Gibbs and Mustard had 60 on the board after seven overs before spinner David Wainwright applied a brake.With the opening stand worth 70 in nine overs, Mustard went down the pitch and was stumped for 35 as Wainwright conceded only eight runs in his first three overs. Dale Benkenstein made seven off 12 balls before driving Hughes to long-off but Gibbs hurried Durham home.He had seven fours in his 42-ball half-century then added three sixes, two of them off Rana Naved-ul-Hasan.

– É a realização de um sonho, a oportunidade da minha vida. Fiz um bom Campeonato Paranaense e já estava com essa vontade de sair, pois sabia que não teria uma sequência e eu preciso seguir a boa fase na carreira.
Assim que chegou ao Botafogo, no início de maio, João Pedro evidenciou a importância da chance que o clube carioca estava lhe dando. O fato é que o meia-atacante passa longe de repetir as boas atuações do título estadual, o que parece não abalar o seu moral diante de Zé Ricardo. Pelo contrário.
Contra o Vasco, João Pedro foi a primeira aposta de Zé para o Glorioso voltar a estar à frente do marcador. Sem atuar desde o dia 25 de agosto, quando só jogou dois minutos, entrou na vaga de Bochecha e, de acordo com o treinador, fez bem o seu papel ao mudar o dinamismo do meio-campo.
– Gostei da entrada do João Pedro, jogador extremamente inteligente, vem treinando muito bem e é muito tático. João Pedro é mais ofensivo que o Bochecha; e (o Botafogo) precisava retomar o meio de campo – comentou Zé Ricardo, ao explicar as alterações no empate (1 a 1) com o Cruz-Maltino.
João Pedro soma oito jogos pelo Botafogo, sendo quatro como titular. Já passou por Alberto Valentim, Marcos Paquetá e agora Zé. Nunca foi unanimidade entre a torcida, mas chamou a atenção quando foi opção, nesta terça, em vez de Renatinho, que era o titular do atual treinador até se lesionar, ou Marcos Vinícius – este último voltou a ser relacionado após um turno.

Awana departs for the Caribbean
Parvinder Awana, the seamer who played for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL, left for the Caribbean on Sunday to join the India A squad. He was held up due to visa issues. Awana was named as a replacement for the injured RP Singh prior to the tour but, according to reports, it took a while for him to be granted a transit visa through the UK.
Captain Veerasammy Permaul led West Indies A’s fightback in the second unofficial Test, helping them gain a slender lead over India A after the visitors had taken the honours on the first day. Permaul grabbed five wickets with his left-arm spin and was well supported by the rest of the bowling crew – each of the five bowlers bagged at least a wicket. Cheteshwar Pujara, captaining his team, impressed once again, scoring his third half-century in as many innings but even he couldn’t prevent West Indies from bowling India out for 202.Veerasammy Permaul picked up 5 for 58•West Indies Cricket
Seamer Shami Ahmed brought an early end to the West Indies innings on the second day, removing opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who had batted out the opening day, for 66. He then trapped Devendra Bishoo in front to finish with 4 for 48 and keep West Indies to 217.But India were under pressure early in the chase. Abhinav Mukund, who bagged a pair in the first unofficial Test, was lbw to seamer Jason Holder for 8 while Shikhar Dhawan was cleaned up by Delorn Johnson for a duck. Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, however, tried to bail India out of trouble. Pujara took the bulk of the strike in the 74-run third-wicket stand but Permaul struck to undermine the hard work.Permaul, who made a quick 36 in West Indies’ innings, had Rahane caught at slip for 18 before taking a return catch from Rohit Sharma to dismiss him for 1. Pujara brought up his half-century with a six over long-on off legspinner Bishoo, but he too fell to Permaul, edging to the wicketkeeper. Manoj Tiwary, who had added 27 with Pujara, followed soon.Wriddhiman Saha and the lower order, though, stepped up. Saha added 38 with Rahul Sharma. Rahul then put together 32 with Shami. The last four wickets added 79 runs for India, but Permaul completed the innings by dismissing Shami and Ashok Dinda and bagged a five-for.West Indies were six without loss in the second innings, a lead of 21.

Depois de seis partidas fora por conta de uma lesão no ombro direito, o zagueiro Leandro Castan retornou ao Vasco no empate com o Flamengo, em Brasília, no último fim de semana, pelo Campeonato Brasileiro. O defensor teve uma atuação segura, mostrando as qualidades que o fizeram chegar a São Januário neste semestre como uma das principais contratações da temporada. Castan avaliou nesta quarta-feira o desempenho de sua volta, ressaltando que ainda não está 100%.
– Eu me senti bem. Fiquei muito feliz por ter voltado. É claro que 100% não estou ainda, vou adquirir a melhor forma com o decorrer dos jogos, e espero que isso seja o mais rápido possível. Eu vim de um período parado, estava de férias, disputei aqueles dois primeiros jogos e acabei tendo um problema no ombro. Tive um pouco de azar, mas nesse momento a vontade de ajudar e o desejo de estar em campo superam tudo – afirmou o defensor.
Leandro Castan deve seguir na equipe titular do Vasco para o jogo de segunda-feira, contra o Bahia, em São Januário, formando a dupla de zaga com Luiz Gustavo. Os jogadores vêm trabalhando ao longo desta semana para que a equipe vença os baianos, retome o caminho da confiança na competição nacional, embalando para fugir da zona de rebaixamento. Para facilitar a busca destes objetivos, Castan espera que a torcida compareça em peso no estádio e incentive no verdadeiro Caldeirão da Colina.
– A torcida do Vasco tem feito a parte dela. Vamos procurar fazer a nossa em campo também. Posso garantir que estamos trabalhando bastante para fazer isso (na segunda-feira, contra o Bahia). Tenho certeza que a torcida vai lotar o Caldeirão e fazer de São Januário nosso ponto forte. Os torcedores irão nos ajudar e juntos vamos conseguir o resultado positivo. Iremos fazer de tudo para fazer o Vasco a sair dessa situação – finalizou o zagueiro.

Lancashire will not have Junaid Khan for the Friends Life t20 due to international commitments
ESPNcricinfo staff19-May-2012Lancashire have suffered a blow ahead of their Friends Life t20 campaign after they confirmed Junaid Khan, the Pakistan left-arm quick bowler, would not take up his deal with the club due to international commitments.Junaid has been named in Pakistan’s Test squad for their series against Sri Lanka which coincides with the FLt20 and will now not link up with countryman Yasir Arafat who is Lancashire’s other overseas player for the tournament.Junaid made a positive impression with Lancashire last season where he took 12 wickets in eight t20 matches with an economy rate of six per over, although was not available for Finals Day when Lancashire went out in a semi-final super over against Leicestershire.He is one of a number of international players who have had to withdraw from county contracts in recent weeks including Peter Siddle, Faf du Plessis and Mitchell Johnson.
