Cameron Bancroft, the player to actually tamper with the ball during the Cape Town Test, has been banned for nine months, as the fall-out of the scandal rumbles on
Daniel Brettig in Johannesburg28-Mar-2018Steven Smith and David Warner, formerly captain and vice-captain of Australia, have been banned from playing international and domestic cricket for 12 months by Cricket Australia for their roles in the pre-meditated plan to tamper with the ball during the Cape Town Test. Warner is banned from captaincy for life, and Smith for 12 months after the completion of his ban. Cameron Bancroft, the player caught tampering with the ball, was banned from playing for nine months and from captaincy for 12 months after the completion of his ban.CA has said that the plan was devised by Warner, the foreign object used was sandpaper, and that Bancroft and Smith lied publicly in their post-match press conference in referring to it as adhesive tape. The full charge sheet confirms a raft of misdeeds by the trio, under which they have been charged with conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, conduct unbecoming, conduct harmful to the interests of cricket, and conduct bringing the game into disrepute. The basis for these charges includes the following:Warner developed the plan to alter the condition of the ball, instructed Bancroft in how to do it including making a demonstration of technique with sandpaper, and the misled the umpires by helping to conceal the plan.Smith had prior knowledge of the plan and did not stop it, directed the plan’s concealment on the field once it became apparent that the team had been caught out on the big screen, and then made “misleading” public comments about the “nature, extent and participants” in the plan.Bancroft had knowledge of the plan, took instruction as to its carrying out and then did so, before seeking to conceal the evidence and then to mislead the umpires as to what had taken place, and then joined Smith in making misleading public comments about what he had done.All three players were told of their bans in person by the CA chief executive James Sutherland at the team hotel in Johannesburg on Wednesday morning. Smith left the team hotel to fly home soon afterwards. All players will have the right to challenge the verdicts and also the duration of their penalties via a CA code of behaviour hearing with an independent commissioner, who can also choose whether the hearing is public or private. Players at the hearing are permitted to call as many witnesses as they like and also to have legal representation.Warner, who has been singled out as the architect of the plan and given the harshest penalty of the three, is expected to challenge the verdict and take the matter to a code of conduct hearing. It is not known what Smith and Bancroft intend to do – all three players have seven days to consider the charges and their intent to accept or challenge. All three players have been replaced in the squad ahead of the fourth Test against South Africa in Johannesburg.”The sanctions we have announced are significant for the individuals involved. That is why the process has had to be thorough to ensure that all relevant issues have been examined,” Sutherland said. “I am satisfied that the sanctions in this case properly reflect a balance between the need to protect the integrity and reputation of the game, and the need to maintain the possibility of redemption for the individuals involved, all of whom have learned difficult lessons through these events.”The CA chairman David Peever said that the Board had chosen to take a path that still allowed the players to eventually rebuild their careers. “The CA Board understands and shares the anger of fans and the broader Australian community about these events,” he said. “They go to the integrity and reputation of Australian cricket and Australian sport and the penalties must reflect that. These are significant penalties for professional players and the Board does not impose them lightly. It is hoped that following a period of suspension, the players will be able to return to playing the game they love and eventually rebuild their careers.”While banned from international and first-class cricket, Smith, Warner and Bancroft are all permitted to play club cricket for the period of their bans “to maintain links with the cricket community”, and at the same time will be required to commit to 100 hours of voluntary service in community cricket.The ball-tampering incident took place during the afternoon session on day three at Newlands and was picked up on by TV cameras. A small, yellow object was seen in Bancroft’s hands after he had worked on the ball, which he later claimed to be adhesive tape with soil particles on it. He was also captured taking the object from his pocket and placing it down his trousers.The footage showed Bancroft rubbing the rough side of the ball, the opposite side to which he would usually be trying to shine on his trousers. He put the object down his pants after being spoken to by the substitute Peter Handscomb, who had come on to the field after speaking to Australia coach Darren Lehmann over a walkie talkie. Lehmann seemed to speak to Handscomb after footage of Bancroft working on the ball was shown on the TV screens at the ground.The on-field umpires Nigel Llong and Richard Illingworth were then seen speaking with Bancroft, though they did not choose to change the ball or penalise the Australians five runs – the statutory on-field penalty for illegally changing the condition of the ball. When Bancroft spoke to the umpires, he was shown holding a bigger, black cloth rather than the small yellow object he had earlier seemed to place down his trousers.Smith and Bancroft owned up to the offence at the press conference after play on the third day. Smith and Warner were stood down as Australia’s captain and vice-captain during the Newlands Test, and both players took the field on the fourth day under wicketkeeper Tim Paine’s leadership.The ICC had already suspended Smith – who was fined 100% of his match fee and given four demerit points – from the fourth Test against South Africa, while Bancroft was given three demerit points and fined 75% of his match fee. There was no ICC sanction against Warner.Smith and Warner had already stepped down from their positions as captains of the IPL franchises Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad, and have subsequently been banned from playing in the tournament.
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has provided some new information regarding Chelsea's potential move for a star striker in 2024.
Will Chelsea sign a new striker?
The Blues have made a disastrous start to their Premier League season, having gone into the new campaign with hope that last year's woes would be forgotten about. The appointment of Mauricio Pochettino hasn't yet gone to plan, however, with both results and performances severely lacking.
After six league games so far this season, Chelsea are 14th in the table and have only won one match to date, at home to newly-promoted Luton Town, and there is increasing pressure on them to stay in the top four hunt even this early in the season.
One of the Blues' biggest issues has been a lack of firepower in attack, with only five league goals scored to date in 2023/24, with Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson netting four of those combined. It has highlighted the need for more options to arrive in the coming transfer windows, with a lack of depth at Pochettino's disposal right now.
Mykhailo Mudryk is continuing to struggle and Jackson is still a young player learning his trade, so failure to bring in reinforcements could be a fatal error in January.
Chelsea managerMauricioPochettinoand AFC Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola
Which striker is on Chelsea's radar?
Taking to X, Romano provided an update on Chelsea's pursuit of Brentford striker Ivan Toney, saying he could join for different prices depending on if the move happens in January or next summer:
"Ivan Toney plan remains clear: try new, different opportunity in 2024 as he signed with new agents, represented by Stellar. Arsenal and Chelsea are both informed on potential conditions of the deal for January or summer, different price. Race still open."
Toney is currently suspended for betting offences, so won't be available to play until January, but he could be a fantastic option for Chelsea moving forward, having made a seamless jump from the Championship to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old is clearly adored by Brentford manager Thomas Frank, who has described him as a "remarkable" player, and he is someone currently at his peak, and who could remain in that period of his career for another four or five years.
Last season, Toney scored 20 goals in the Premier League, which is a superb effort for a player not representing one of the big clubs, and his overall tally for the Bees stands at 68 in just 124 appearances.
The threat of Arsenal is obvious, considering what an attractive proposition they are these days, but the Englishman could be promised more regular playing time in a Chelsea shirt, which could sway his thinking. Whether it is January that sees the Blues make a move for him remains to be seen, but they could do with him then rather next summer, even if his price tag is more expensive at that point.
Some may feel that Toney isn't at the level required for Pochettino's men, but that is a lazy assumption because he is playing for a fairly unfashionable club, and he has the ability to make a world of difference in the west Londoners' attack.
أعلن النادي الأهلي عن تلقيه خطابًا رسميًا من رابطة الأندية المصرية المحترفة برئاسة أحمد دياب بشأن مباراة القمة أمام الزمالك مساء غد.
المباراة التي كان مقررًا إقامتها على ملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي في السابعة من مساء الثلاثاء ضمن منافسات الجولة الـ27 من عمر الدوري المصري الممتاز “النيل”.
رغم انسحاب الزمالك.. كولر يٌعلن قائمة الأهلي لمباراة القمة في الدوري المصري
وكان نادي الزمالك قد أصدر بيانًا رسميًا قبل قليل يؤكد من خلاله انسحابه من المباراة لظروف وصفها بالقهرية لغياب مبدأ تكافؤ الفرص.
وعلم بطولات أن رابطة الأندية تجهز خلال الوقت الحالي خطابًا رسميًا موجهًا للزمالك يفيد باعتبار الزمالك منسحبًا من مباراة الأهلي غدًا وستطبق عليه اللائحة.
ويحتل الزمالك المركز العاشر في سلم ترتيب بطولة الدوري المصري برصيد 34 نقطة، حصدهم من 20 مباراة.
ويتواجد الأهلي في المركز الثاني بجدول الدوري المصري برصيد 42 نقطة حصدهم من 18 مباراة خاضهم الأحمر حتى الأن. بيان الأهلي
تلقى النادي خطابًا قبل قليل من رابطة الأندية المحترفة يفيد بعدم إقامة مباراة القمة التي كان محددا لها غدًا الثلاثاء في السابعة مساء بملعب استاد القاهرة الدولي واعتبار فريق الأهلي فائزًا بالمباراة 2- 0.
Torcedores do Athletico-PR usaram o feriado do Dia de Finados na última segunda-feira (2) para fazer um protesto em tom de ironia contra a equipe que perdeu mais uma partida na última rodada do primeiro turno do Brasileirão diante do Sport por 1 a 0.
Estendendo uma faixa com os dizeres “Time morto sem vontade” na frente da Arena da Baixada, torcedores chegaram a colocar velas acesas além de gritarem palavras de ordem relacionadas ao salário em dia dos atletas e a cobrança por melhores desempenhos.
Em processo de transição do elenco após a saída de diversos nomes considerados como “pilares” do sucesso recente (casos de Pablo, Renan Lodi, Bruno Guimarães, Marco Rubén e também o técnico Tiago Nunes), a irregularidade do Furacão tem sido um problema enfrentado pela equipe desde o início da temporada apesar do título paranaense, conquistado por campanha em grande parte disputada com o elenco de Aspirantes.
Para se ter uma ideia em números, a equipe sofreu 17 derrotas na temporada em 43 partidas, algo que se aproxima bastante dos 21 reveses sofridos em 2019, porém no universo de 72 compromissos.
Apesar dos problemas, a equipe atualmente sob o comando de Paulo Autuori segue sem muito tempo para trabalhos mais específicos devido ao calendário apertado. Algo que coloca o time, já na próxima quarta-feira (4) às 21h30 no Maracanã, em necessidade de reveter o quadro de 1 a 0 desfavorável no primeiro jogo das oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil frente ao Flamengo.

Samit Patel’s 62-ball hundred heaped untold levels of suffering upon the Leicester crowd as Notts raced to new batting heights on the ground
ECB Reporters Network23-May-2018
Samit Patel’s hundred took Notts past 400•Getty Images
ScorecardA brilliant century from Samit Patel, hit off just 62 balls, steered Nottinghamshire to a ground record score of more than 400 in beating Leicestershire by 93 runs on a flat pitch at the Fischer County Ground.Put in to bat by Leicestershire captain Michael Carberry, Notts’ openers Riki Wessells and Chris Nash set the tone by compiling a partnership of 118 in just 15.1 overs before Wessells, having hit four huge sixes in racing to 76 from 44 balls, steered Neil Dexter’s first ball into the hands of Mark Cosgrove at backward point.Nash’s 56 (his highest score since joining Nottinghamshire from Sussex) was relatively circumspect, coming at slightly over a run a ball before he clipped a Gavin Griffiths’ delivery high to deep backward square, but although New Zealand international Ross Taylor went relatively cheaply, Leicestershire paid dearly for dropping Tom Moores on 21: the diminutive left-hander added another 55 runs in going to 76 from 62 balls before failing to clear Paul Horton at mid-off.Patel took over, first in ensuring the run rate did not slip below seven runs an over, and then in the company of captain Steven Mullaney and Billy Root, accelerating past 400. The former England international, who earlier this week signed a new contract keeping him at Trent Bridge until the end of 2020, hit 14 fours and two sixes as Nottinghamshire went on to register their fourth highest List A scoreColin Ackermann’s outstanding catch to dismiss him, caught above his head as he was falling over the boundary rope at deep extra cover, lobbed back in and caught again diving back on to the field, was of scant consolation for the Foxes as they conceded the highest score made against the county in List A cricket.Leicestershire’s reply could hardly have begun more badly, the driving Carberry inside-edging a wide half-volley from Jake Ball on to his stumps in the first over.Ackermann did not last much longer, Patel making good ground running back to hold a skied drive in Ball’s next over to leave the home team struggling on 13 for 2.If Leicestershire were to retain any realistic hopes of reaching their target they needed a big innings from Mark Cosgrove, but the Australian bottom edged a pull at a short ball from Harry Gurney into his stumps for just 11. When Paul Horton followed for 35, caught down the legside by wicketkeeper Moores off Gurney, the game was effectively over, but Leicestershire’s middle and lower order worked hard to reduce the dame to their net run-rate, with Tom Wells and Callum Parkinson both passing 50.
Joel Matip haplessly scooped the ball into his own net with but moments until the final whistle, but Liverpool will condemn mistakes of a far greater weight as Jurgen Klopp's side rue the ineptitude of officials in defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
The Reds have started the 2023/24 campaign with the strength and solidarity that has been intrinsic to the success of this squad since Klopp's appointment way back when, and while a seven-match winning streak across all competitions and an unbeaten start to the term has been cruelly snapped, there are positives to be recovered from the grimy debris of an inconsolable evening.
Liverpool remain in fourth place in the Premier League and just two points off leaders Manchester City, who lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the day, and indeed, the spirit on display was reminiscent of the formidable outfit that swept the whole gamut of silverware under Klopp's leadership.
Once again, were it not for the heroic shot-stopping efforts of Alisson, Liverpool might not be nursing such a profound sense of injustice, with the Brazilian undisputably the "the best" between the sticks right now, as was said by 90min's Scott Saunders.
How did Alisson perform against Tottenham?
In London, he made a whopping eight saves – including wondrous stretching stops from a curling effort from James Maddison and an instinctive hand from the free-scoring Heung-min Son.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.
Signed from Roma for £67m in 2018 – a world record for a goalkeeper at the time – the 30-year-old certainly didn't come cheap, but are there truly many Premier League acquisitions for such a lofty fee to have eclipsed the impact he has had behind the rearguard of the Merseyside club's defence.
When the wounds inflicted on a dreary night against the Lilywhites – who continue their resounding revival under Ange Postecoglou – are healed, the Reds will be emboldened in their pursuit of silverware, and with Alisson in goal, they truly boast the armour to achieve such ambitious goals.
While Alisson deservedly received praise for his efforts, the return to full strength of Virgil van Dijk must not go under the radar; after several years of ebbing and flowing from his best for different reasons, the Dutchman looks a dominant force in central defence again.
How is Virgil van Dijk playing this season?
That's not to say he was ever awful, rather, a detrimental injury suffered against Everton in 2020 had hindered his relentless presence at the back, and now, Van Dijk really does look to have hit his zenith again.
Spurs, despite having a two-man advantage for around 25 minutes, failed to truly exert their dominance on proceedings, rebuffed by a resolute Reds defence that simply refused to give up.
Virgil Van Dijk Liverpool
Recording a joint-match-high Sofascore rating of 8.4 – alongside Spurs' Pedro Porro – the £220k-per-week colossus made eight clearances, blocked six shots and committed two tackles and interceptions apiece, also winning 100% of his duels and completing 95% of his passes.
On top of his defensive brilliance, the 32-year-old expertly nodded down the ball on the stroke of half-time to hand Liverpool a deserved equaliser after a pivoting strike from Cody Gakpo, who injured himself in the process.
Sustaining such supreme showings, the "world-class" defender, as has been said by pundit Darren Bent, could yet inspire a return to glory for his club this season.
While the bitter defeat hurts, Liverpool have displayed their glittering credentials in the most courageous and stoical of performances, and the sun will shine on Anfield again with this crop of players plying their trade under Klopp's management.
