  • 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.

  • Mundial: Palmeiras Decepciona E Perde Terceiro Lugar Para Al Ahly
    Mundial: Palmeiras decepciona e perde terceiro lugar para Al Ahly 11 de Fevereiro de 2021 O Palmeiras foi para o Catar sonhando com o título do Mundial de Clubes, mas sequer pôde se contentar com a medalha de bronze no torneio da Federação Internacional de Futebol (Fifa). Nesta quinta-feira (11), o Alviverde foi superado pelo Al Ahly (Egito) por 3 a 2, nos pênaltis, após um empate sem gols no tempo normal no estádio Cidade da Educação, em Doha, no Catar. É a primeira vez que um campeão da Libertadores não estará entre os três primeiros colocados. Superado na semifinal pelo Tigres (México) por 1 a 0 no último domingo (7), o Verdão tinha, pelo menos, a chance de se despedir do Mundial repetindo as campanhas de Internacional (2010), Atlético-MG (2013), Atlético Nacional (Colômbia, em 2016) e River Plate (Argentina, em 2018), as demais equipes sul-americanas que não conseguiram chegar à final. Isso não só não aconteceu como o clube paulista foi incapaz de balançar as redes durante os 180 minutos de bola rolando no país-sede da próxima Copa do Mundo de seleções. O técnico Abel Ferreira promoveu quatro mudanças na escalação em relação à estreia. O lateral- direito Mayke, os volantes Patrick de Paula e Felipe Melo e o atacante Willian entraram nas vagas, respectivamente, de Marcos Rocha, Zé Rafael, Danilo e Gabriel Menino, que foram para a reserva. No time egípcio, os atacantes Mahmoud Kahraba e Hussein El Shahat, ambos titulares, ficaram fora ao serem banidos pela Fifa por descumprirem medidas de proteção contra o novo coronavírus (covid- 19).
