Cricinfo looks ahead to the three-match ODI series between India and Australia

The Preview by Sriram Veera16-Oct-2010Match FactsSunday, October 17, Kochi
Start time 9:00 am (0330 GMT)Michael Clarke had a poor Test series. Will the ODIs bring a change in his fortunes?•Getty Images

The Big PictureMichael Clarke will lead Australia in the ODIs, and he’ll feel the pressure. There has been an intense debate in Australia about the future, including captaincy. There appear to be three camps: Ponting loyalists, Clarke aficionados and the anyone-but-Clarke club. The third should worry Clarke. His poor performance in the Tests this tour has added more fuel to critics who believe Clarke rarely performs when the team needs it. Australian captains have been tough; Clarke is seen as a bit of a show pony by his critics. This three-match series will give him another opportunity to silence them.In India, there is no such debate. There are those who put MS Dhoni’s success down to luck but they haven’t reached a critical mass. And even they can’t put forward an alternative name for captain. Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar put it thus: “Dhoni is a guy who does things that are supposed to be done and leaves the rest to fate. He doesn’t try to control everything. That is his greatest strength.”The series will be a contest between two men – one itching to prove that he is the man for the future, and one whose future in the pantheon of successful Indian captains is already secure. If only the weather allows them. Australia haven’t been able to practice in Kochi, the venue of the first ODI. Their players, during this time, have been tweeting about spending their time in the gym and wishing the rain would stop.Form guide (most recent first)
India LWLWL
Australia WWLLL
Watch out for…Just when Callum Ferguson was establishing himself in the ODI line-up and looking ahead to securing a place in the Tests, he twisted his knee in the Champions Trophy final and had to sit out for a while. The Champions League, the Twenty20 tournament in South Africa, was his comeback and he starred with two half-centuries, finishing fifth on the tournament run tally. The best thing going for him is that there seems to be almost no one in Australia who doesn’t rate him highly. This ODI series should help him kick-start his ambitions and others’ hopes.R Ashwin’s time has surely come. A stable head, calm temperament and rapidly developing skill-set puts him right up there in the reckoning for a spot in the playing XI. The all-round development has been visible: He developed a carrom ball and has now honed it to perfection, he uses the crease more intelligently and has already developed a reputation of bowling in the Powerplays. His development hasn’t gone unnoticed. “He is used to bowling in the Powerplays. He is an aggressive bowler, he has the variety and he is always ready to bowl whenever you throw the ball to him,” Dhoni said at the end of the Champions League. “He wants to perform; he has grown as a player over the last three IPLs.”Team newsShikhar Dhawan, the only surprise call-up in the Indian squad for the series, is likely to make his ODI debut.India (probable): 1 M Vijay, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Virat Kohli/Rohit Sharma, 6 MS Dhoni (capt and wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Ashish Nehra, 11 Munaf Patel.Doug Bollinger is the senior-most fast bowler in the squad but is yet to fully recover from the abdominal strain that ruled him out of the Bangalore Test. He hasn’t bowled since picking up the injury and it remains to be seen whether he will be fit for Sunday’s match. Fast bowler Mitchell Starc could make his debut in case Bollinger misses out.Australia (probable) 1 David Warner, 2 Tim Paine (wk), 3 Michael Clarke (capt), 4 Shaun Marsh/Callum Ferguson, 5 Michael Hussey, 6 Cameron White, 7 Steve Smith, 8 James Hopes, 9 Nathan Hauritz, 10 Clint McKay, 11 Doug Bollinger/Mitchell Starc.Pitch and conditionsThe unrelenting rain has put the first ODI under threat. We have to wait and watch whether it will clear up in time to allow some play. The consistent rain has affected the pitch preparations and it will be interesting to see how it plays.Stats and trivia India have a poor record of chasing against Australia: They have lost 34 games and won only 17 while batting second against them. MS Dhoni has 225 ODI dismissals as a wicketkeeper and stands sixth in the all-time list. He needs nine more dismissals to go past Ian Healy. Clarke averages 43.03 in ODIs but it dips against India: he averages 37.83 and has scored one hundred from 25 games against India. He averages 33.88 against the Indians in Australia while it jumps marginally to 38.57 in Indian conditions.Quotes”Boys are just looking at some video footage of the Indian players.”

“We need this rain to stop asap … I am very frustrated.”

Roger deixou a Arena Corinthians dizendo que prefere ver o “copo meio cheio” após o Palmeiras sofrer a primeira derrota de 2018. Com atuação criticada e reclamações contra o árbitro Raphael Claus, o Verdão trabalha para que o resultado no Dérbi não abale o ambiente às vésperas da estreia na Libertadores. E os próximos dez dias serão decisivos para a continuidade da paz na Academia de Futebol.

Isto porque na quinta-feira o Verdão enfrenta o Junior Barranquilla, na Colômbia, pela primeira rodada da Libertadores. Quatro dias depois, volta a campo para enfrentar o São Caetano, no Allianz Parque, pelo Paulistão e na quinta-feira seguinte recebe o São Paulo, também no Palestra pelo Estadual.

– O peso da derrota no clássico tem impacto, cabe a nós gerenciarmos. Foi o primeiro Dérbi do ano, da fase classificatória do Paulista. Muitos veem como divisor de águas e não pode ser um divisor de águas um clássico em fevereiro, com oito meses ainda de trabalho. Até o jogo da Libertadores vai ser absorvido por todos – avisou o técnico.

A sequência é dura. Jogo na principal competição do ano, com uma viagem longa, e intervalos curtos entre os três compromissos. Ainda que Roger argumente que o Palmeiras segue com a melhor campanha no Paulistão, o revés em Itaquera fez com que o time, que iniciou a temporada com seis vitórias seguidas, agora acumule três partidas sem vencer – antes vieram empates com Linense e Ponte Preta.

A equipe neste pequeno jejum já começou a ouvir cornetas mais intensas de torcedores. O trabalho do treinador nos próximos três dias é filtrar as avaliações para que o time não se abale.

– Apesar da derrota, a primeira no campeonato, são nove jogos, seis vitórias, dois empates e uma derrota agora, com boa vantagem na nossa chave, em busca da classificação. Agora é Libertadores, ver o que foi feito de bom, o que pode ser feito de diferente e voltar o foco total para a competição – reforçou.

Em relação ao grupo que perdeu no sábado, Edu Dracena e Moisés podem ser novidades entre os relacionados contra o Junior Barranquilla. Os dois já estão treinando com o grupo após uma pré-temporada mais longa e têm condições de voltar. O que pode pesar é o fato de estarem treinando há pouco tempo e na Libertadores serem permitidos apenas sete jogadores no banco, não 12, como no Paulistão.

– Tenho que avaliar o que produzimos até a expulsão, tirar os aprendizados, mas sabendo que foi um clássico da fase classificatória. Volto a dizer que é importante, ninguém gosta de perder clássicos, mas temos uma estreia na Libertadores e temos que aprender as lições para levar de forma positiva. Prefiro ver o copo meio cheio, não meio vazio – encerrou Roger.

As per Torino Granata, a possible boost for West Ham United has come to light amid their links to Torino striker and soon-to-be free agent Andrea Belotti.

The Lowdown: Pellegrini fails in 2019 bid…

Multiple reports from 2019 have backed that the Hammers and former boss Manuel Pellegrini lodged a bid to sign the Italy international, but to no avail.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-newest-updates/” title=”West Ham newest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Football Insider, Calciomercato and TUTTOmercatoWEB all claimed that West Ham made an offer for Belotti nearly three years ago with the striker coming as a name who will be familiar to supporters.

Out of contract this summer, it appears the 28-year-old will finally be on the way out of Turin and for free, gifting David Moyes and co a chance to solve their striker shortage with a long-term target.

The Latest: Belotti open to joining…

Torino Granata, sharing the latest on his future post-Torino, now claim that Belotti is open to joining West Ham this summer.

Indeed, according to their sources, a Premier League move for the forward cannot be ruled out.

It is believed that a move to the Irons or fellow interested side Newcastle ‘could be more attractive’ to Belotti.

The Verdict: Make the move…

An proven threat at both international and club level, bypassing Belotti’s estimated £25.2 million Transfermarkt valuation and snapping him up for nothing would be a very shrewd move.

Torino’s captain and figurehead is one of the Serie A big names set to make a headline-grabbing move this summer and we believe a transfer to West Ham may well be on the cards.

However, with Newcastle, Roma, Atalanta, Inter Milan and Toronto also on his trail, Moyes and co should waste no time making the striker an offer.

Newcastle United are closing in on the signing of Galway United starlet Alex Murphy.

What’s the story?

Writing on Twitter, The Northern Echo’s Scott Wilson reported: “#NUFC win battle to sign teenage defender Alex Murphy – with Irish full-back set to leave Galway United and move to Tyneside in the summer…”

In a follow-up article, he added: “Murphy will leave Irish side Galway United to move to Tyneside in the summer, once he turns 18, and is set to join Newcastle’s development ranks.

“The 17-year-old, who is primarily regarded as a left-back, joined Galway United from Corrib Celtic, and has been attracting attention from scouts from right across Europe in the last few months.””Torino and Celtic are understood to have made contact with his representatives, with Brighton also having been linked with a possible move, but Newcastle have won the battle to secure his signature.”Exciting prospect for NewcastleVersatile enough to play at both left-back and centre-back, Murphy has been a regular presence for Galway since the start of the League of Ireland season earlier this year, playing seven games and registering one assist.The 17-year-old has also broken onto the scene at international level, playing for the Republic of Ireland’s under-18s, while also featuring most recently for the under-19s in their European Championship qualifiers against Portugal and Armenia just last month.Having seen his club play a vital role in Murphy’s early development, Corrib Celtic’s chairman Jack Barrett raved about the teenager’s work ethic.He said: “Corrib Celtic were aware from an early stage that we had a huge talent on our hands. I often witnessed Alex’s determination and strive to make himself better. On a lot of occasions off-season I would visit our grounds with nobody around and next thing witness Alex arrive on a bike on his own, with two footballs, to spend the next three hours practicing free-kicks and all the other skills of the game.”This shows a real attitude to go further in the game. All in all, Galway United have the real deal on their hands.”While Newcastle fans will be excited to see the prospect of big-money signings and marquee arrivals this summer, Murphy’s move to Tyneside should have Eddie Howe delighted, with the teenager no doubt someone who could very much become part of the club’s future.Already gaining valuable experience at first-team level with Galway United, Murphy should find a home in the Magpies’ academy sides as Wilson has suggested, with a view to integrating him into the senior setup sooner rather than later if he really showcases his talent and potential.The 5 foot 11 starlet could be a part of the long-term project at St James’ Park for Newcastle.AND in other news – Sold for just £100k, now a two-time title winner: NUFC flop has delivered huge payback

Opener Steve Marillier’s marathon, unbeaten century halted Mid West Rhinos’ charge towards an innings victory and helped Southern Rocks draw their second game of the Logan Cup in Masvingo

Scorecard
Opener Steve Marillier’s marathon, unbeaten century halted Mid West Rhinos’ charge towards an innings victory and helped Southern Rocks draw their second game of the Logan Cup in Masvingo.Following on after conceding a 322-run first-innings lead, Rocks were left with the task of batting out four sessions to save the game. But for Marillier’s effort, they would have struggled to do so. After his partner Sikandar Raza was dismissed with the score on zero, Marillier – playing only his eighth first-class game – faced 380 deliveries and remained not out on 148, his maiden century. The next highest score was Craig Ervine’s 46. The match was called off with Rocks on 282 for 5 after 119 overs.The Rhinos’ commanding position in the game was built by first-innings hundreds from Brendan Taylor, their captain Vusi Sibanda and Malcolm Waller. They piled up 609 for 7 after getting sent in by Rocks. An opening stand of 180 between Taylor and Friday Kasteni, who made 61, set the tone for the middle order to build the huge total.In reply, half-centuries from Tatenda Taibu and Raza could not help Rocks avoid the follow-on. Legspinner Graeme Cremer picked up his 12th five-wicket haul in 61 first-class games to dismiss Rocks for 287. Sibanda immediately enforced the follow-on, but Marillier’s effort meant Rhinos had to be content with earning only one point for the first-innings lead from the game.

Roger Machado disse que o Palmeiras fugiu de suas características no empate sem gols com a Ponte Preta, neste domingo, em Campinas. O motivo, obviamente, foi o gramado encharcado do Moisés Lucarelli.

-É difícil a gente fazer uma avaliação mais precisa, não tem como desconsiderar a qualidade do gramado. No segundo tempo secou um pouco mais, houve mais trocas de passes pelo lado esquerdo, porque o direito ainda estava alagado. Foi um jogo de imposição física, não foi um jogo bom tecnicamente – opinou o treinador do Verdão.

Sem Borja, vetado devido a dores no joelho direito, Roger sentiu falta de Deyverson, que se recupera de cirurgia para corrigir fratura no quinto metatarso do pé direito e deve ficar mais um mês fora de combate.

– Eu não tive as alternativas hoje, mas a gente tem no elenco. Seria um jogo apropriado para o Deyverson, que é alto, de intensidade física. O próprio Artur é um jogador de lado, mas forte fisicamente para um jogo como esse. Em função de o Borja ter ficado em São Paulo, a gente formatou a equipe dessa forma – declarou Roger, citando também Artur, que operou o tornozelo direito na última semana e ficará dois meses afastado.

O comandante ainda explicou sua última substituição: quando o Palmeiras dominava a Ponte, aos 40 minutos do segundo tempo, ele tirou Lucas Lima e colocou Bruno Henrique. Gustavo Scarpa, acionado nas três partidas anteriores, não saiu do banco de reservas.

– Eu não tinha o Miguel hoje. É um atleta de força física que ficou em São Paulo. A entrada do Bruno foi porque já tínhamos quatro jogadores leves em campo. Queria fortalecer o tripé de meio de campo para liberar os jogadores de lado. As minhas alternativas foram essas.

O Palmeiras volta a campo no sábado que vem, às 17h, contra o Corinthians, em Itaquera. O elenco folga nesta segunda e retoma os trabalhos na terça.

Three late wickets by their former team-mate Mitch Claydon checked Yorkshire’scruise to victory against Durham, but with only 54 needed and six wicketsstanding they should stay in contention for the County Championship DivisionOne title

Three late wickets by their former team-mate Mitch Claydon checked Yorkshire’scruise to victory against Durham, but with only 54 needed and six wicketsstanding they should stay in contention for the County Championship DivisionOne title.On a Chester-le-Street pitch becoming progressively flatter after 17 wicketsfell on the first day, Claydon forced Jacques Rudolph to play on for 100 andreduced Yorkshire from 181 for one to 228 for 4.Chasing a target of 299, they closed on 245 for 4, with skipper Andrew Galeunbeaten on 36 and nightwatchman Steve Patterson on three after surviving animpassioned first ball lbw appeal by Claydon.Rudolph was troubled only by the swing of the luckless Chris Rushworth inracing to his fourth Championship century of the season off 137 balls, with 15fours. He put on 113 with Adam Lyth, who fell for 48 when he tried to force away BenStokes’ third ball off the back foot and edged to Michael Di Venuto at secondslip.First innings century-maker Anthony McGrath helped to take the total to 181before Claydon struck. He forced Rudolph back with a ball of steep bounce, which the left-handerplayed down into his stumps, then McGrath sliced a drive to point, where Stokesheld a good low catch.In between those two wickets, Gale hit three successive balls from Claydon forfour and it seemed he might want to claim the extra half hour for a three-dayfinish. But that was out of the question once Jonny Bairstow had departed for 13,edging Claydon to Phil Mustard.The warning signs that the pitch was placid were there in the morning forDurham as their tailenders helped Dale Benkenstein add 133 to the overnight 207for 6. Benkenstein never looked like getting out until he sensed he was running out ofsupport after Liam Plunkett edged a drive to second slip and Claydon was lbw tothe new ball.Both had looked in no trouble, making 30 and 29 respectively, but afterRushworth was dropped on nought by Gale at cover Benkenstein dabbled outside offstump and edged to the wicketkeeper to fall for 74. Rushworth then hit four fours in an over off Patterson on his way to 28 before he was bowled by the second ball after lunch, giving Patterson his fourthwicket.There were also four for Oliver Hannon-Dalby, continuing to deputise for TimBresnan, who arrived back from The Oval where he had been released by England inmid-afternoon.
