  • Kohli AFP Able Future,” Cricket South Af- Ence at the Ageas Bowl
    Sports Wednesday, June 5, 2019 15 News in brief Roy, Archer & Ahmed fined for breaching ICC code LONDON: Jason Roy and Jofra Archer have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees for incidents during England’s World Cup defeat by Pakistan at Trent Bridge. The International Cricket Council found opener Roy had breached level one of its code of conduct, using an audible obscenity after a misfield during Pakistan’s innings. Fast bowler Archer was found guilty of dissent towards an umpire’s decision following a wide delivery. Both players have also had one demerit point added to their records. Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was fined 20 percent of his fee, and his teammates 10 percent, for a minor over-rate offence. Pakistan won Monday’s match by 14 runs after setting England a target of 349. It was an occasionally fractious encounter, with the umpires warning England skipper Eoin Morgan about his side throwing the ball in on the bounce and later issuing the same reminder to Sarfaraz. The tactic is often used to scuff up the ball and promote reverse swing. England batsman Jos Buttler appeared to take a look at the ball on his walk back to the pavilion after his knock of 103 came to an end. English crowds “stupid” to boo Warner, says manager MELBOURNE: English crowds are “stupid” to jeer David Warner at the Cricket World Cup as it will only fire him up, the Australian batsman’s manager James Erskine has said. Warner, who has returned to the side following a 12-month ban for ball-tampering, was Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Pradeep (right) celebrates with teammates after taking the wicket of Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan for two runs during the booed by the crowd during Australia’s opening match against Pakistan in Bristol but struck an 2019 Cricket World Cup group stage match at the Sophia Gardens Stadium in Cardiff, south Wales, on Tuesday.

    Pressemappe Panini zur Frauenfußball-WM 2019 für Deutschland Stand: 25. April 2019 Panini: Frauentausch à la française Der Verlag bringt am 25. April die offizielle Stickersammlung zur FIFA Frauen-WM in Frankreich in den deutschen Handel Stuttgart, 25. April 2019 – Am 25. April erfreut Panini ein weiteres Mal die Herzen der Fußballfans und bringt die offizielle Stickerkollektion zur FIFA Frauen-Weltmeisterschaft in Frankreich in den deutschen Handel. In dem 60-seitigen Album ist Platz für 480 Klebebildchen, 36 davon sind als besonders begehrte Glitzersticker gedruckt. „Nach den Volltreffern bei den vergangenen beiden Fußball-WM- Turnieren für Frauen halten wir es mit dem Sprichwort, wonach aller guten Dinge drei sind“, so Birgit Barner, Director Collectibles beim Stuttgarter Panini-Verlag, über die bereits dritte Ausgabe eines Panini-Albums zu einer Fußball-Frauen-WM nach 2011 und 2015. Eingefleischte Panini-Fans wissen: Anders als bei ihren männlichen Pendants ist auf den Klebebildchen nicht das Gewicht der Spielerinnen abgedruckt – nur die Körpergröße. „Wir finden das charmanter“, erklärt Barner. Obwohl die Historie der Frauen-WM-Alben noch sehr kurz ist, kann sie bereits mit einer Anekdote aufwarten: Stichwort „Frauentausch 2011“. Im Nordkorea-Kader hatte Panini für zwei verschiedene Spielerinnen dasselbe Konterfei abgedruckt. Während Kim Kyong Hwa von Anfang an das richtige Bildchen zugeordnet war, hat Panini das richtige Sammelbild von Jon Myong Hwa nachproduziert. Insgesamt bringt Panini weltweit jährlich rund 400 Sammelkollektio- nen in den Bereichen Sport und Entertainment auf den Markt, davon rund 30 in Deutschland. Bei Sportthemen sind dies alle Alben zu Welt- und Europameisterschaften, einzelne Vereinskollektionen für Mannschaften der Fußball-Bundesliga sowie FIFA 365 Sticker und Trading Cards mit den Abbildern der weltbesten Spieler und Vereine.
