A revisão e a anulação da marcação do pênalti inicialmente dado em Lucas Silva resultou em reclamações dos jogadores, técnico e direção do Flamengo após a vitória por 2 a 0 sobre o Athletico, na Arena da Baixada, pela 25ª rodada do Brasileirão. Nesta segunda, o canal “Sportv” reproduziu o áudio de uma conversa entre os integrantes do VAR (Rodrigo Guarizo F. do Amaral,Marcio Henrique de Gois,Alex Ribeiro eEdnilson Corona), que teria sido travado durante o intervalo do jogo. O diálogo não envolveu o árbitro de campo e, tampouco, serviu de base para a anulação do pênalti.

Durante a programa “Seleção Sportv”, os áudios entre a equipe de arbitragem foram reproduzidos. Na transmissão, não foram identificados os autores de cada intervenção.

Em uma delas, um membro da equipe de arbitragem diz que, por um determinado ângulo, foi “mais do que pênalti”. Na sequência, outro diz que outra imagem é “inconclusiva”. Por fim, um dos árbitros afirma: “Como é que nós vamos deixar um negócio desses?”.

Confira as aspas reproduzidas pelo Sportv nesta segunda-feira:

– Vou parar na hora que ele pisa no pé.

– Para na hora que ele pisa no pé, você lembra a hora?

– Essa aqui também, não?

– Mostra a outra que tem do pé. Você consegue mostrar a outra?

– Isso, oh… Na esquerda ele pisa no pé. Passa mais…

– Tem mais de trás?

– Mais de trás é inconclusiva.

– Mais de trás é mais do que pênalti.

– Essa daqui é pênalti, oh.

– Deixa eu ver de novo.

– Parece, cara… Parece pênalti.

– Essas estão mais lentas.

– Ele (Lucas Silva) não muda nem o movimento da perna dele. Se tocasse, a perna dele teria que vir para trás.

– Nem vem… Como é que nós vamos deixar um negócio desses?

Khurram Khan, the UAE batsman, has retired from international cricket after a 14-year career

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Jun-2015

Khurram Khan, the UAE batsman, has retired from international cricket. On Thursday, Khurram was dismissed for 10 in his final innings for the UAE side, as they slumped to an innings-and-26-run defeat against Ireland in the ICC Intercontinental Cup in Dublin. He made 24 in the first innings.Soon after the end of the match, the Emirates Cricket Board tweeted their tribute to Khurram, calling him a ‘gentleman of UAE cricket’.Khurram played 16 ODIs, scoring 582 runs at an average of 41.57, with one century and three half-centuries. He also took 12 wickets with his left-arm spin. In November 2014, he became the oldest player to score an ODI century when he made an unbeaten 132 against Afghanistan in Dubai. Having reached the milestone at 43, he broke Sanath Jayasuriya’s previous record by nearly four years.Khurram was the leading run-scorer in the World Cup Qualifier in 2014, his 581 runs at 72.62 firing UAE into the World Cup for only the second time in their history. He led the team for ten years, before being relieved ahead of the 2015 World Cup, where he served as Mohammad Tauqir’s deputy.Born in Multan, Pakistan, Khurram moved to the UAE in 1999 to work for Emirates Airlines as a flight purser. Two years later he made his UAE debut during the ICC Trophy in Canada.

Adam Voges reflects on how the frankness with Australia coach Darren Lehmann told him he was out of the World Cup squad allowed him to focus on securing a Test spot

Daniel Brettig06-Jul-20151:28

‘It’s been a long road to get here’ – Voges

“I’m done then, am I?”Through his tears, Adam Voges summoned the gumption to ask Darren Lehmann if his international hopes were completely snuffed out. It was Allan Border Medal night in January 2014, and outside Doltone House on Sydney’s Elizabeth Street, Lehmann had told Voges that he would not be figuring in the team’s 2015 World Cup plans.Up to that moment, virtually all of Voges’ opportunities to play for Australia had been in coloured clothing. His record showed he had seldom let the team down. So to hear he would not be considered for the squad that would compete for the game’s biggest trophy on home soil truly hurt. There was not much room for any other chances, but Voges had to ask the question.Stubbing out a cigarette, Lehmann replied. “No, you’re not done, there’s always opportunities.” It might have been a throwaway line from a selector to a jilted player, but it has turned out to be very true. Voges cast off any bitterness about missing a World Cup spot and forged ahead for West Australia. Eighteen months later he is set to play in the first Investec Ashes Test in Cardiff.”I didn’t think I’d ever let anyone down when I’d played one-day cricket,” Voges said. “I thought my performances statistically were good and I played in a lot of teams that won games, so from that point of view it was pretty disappointing. But Boof was very honest and I knew exactly where I stood at the end of it.”It took a little while I must admit, but I moved on and my focus from then was doing well for WA. I think during that conversation I said, ‘Well I’m done then am I’, and his answer was no, you’re not’.”So maybe there was that little glimmer of hope when I walked away from that, but he certainly didn’t shut the door that’s for sure. It was just an honest chat that we had. It hasn’t changed me or him as a person in any way. I think there’s still a mutual respect and a good relationship there. I’m sure it was a hard chat for him to have as well.”Lehmann’s frankness allowed Voges to focus on Western Australia, and a prolific 2014-15 season elbowed him onto the plane to the West Indies and England. In Dominica he showed the value of his calm, measured batting on the way to a memorable debut hundred, and in England his ability to soak up pressure and bat around more combustible teammates will be invaluable.Adam Voges ended a long wait for the baggy green with a century on debut in the Caribbean•Getty Images

“I was batting the other day [in Chelmsford] and I came out and Warner was smacking them. Then he got out and Watto came in and he smacked them. Then he got out and Mitch Marsh came in and he smacked them,” Voges said. “I was quite happy doing my thing at the other end. If I can build partnerships with those guys then that’s what I try and focus on.”There will be times where I hopefully get a bit of a run on as well, and I’m certainly not there to just occupy balls. I’ll certainly be proactive and positive in the way that I play but those guys were on a different level the other day. I think that’s the art of batting, knowing when are the right times to attack and when a bloke is bowling well and you need to get through a tricky period. And knowing when you can cash in as well.”Generally, an Ashes is not considered the best time to include players with minimal Test match experience. However, Voges’ rich history of first-class matches, both in England and Australia, leaves him well placed to make an immediate impact, much as the opener Chris Rogers did in 2013.”I’ve learnt a bit of patience over the last few years,” Voges said. “My two young ones will be here tomorrow, and I think they’ve taught me patience pretty well. But I think it’s just experience – it’s going to be a big occasion, I’m sure there will be some nerves. You’d be disappointed if there weren’t.”But just going back and knowing I’ve played a lot of cricket now and just being able to go back on that experience and hopefully that will hold me in good stead.”That experience includes plenty of knowledge of England players. Stuart Broad, for one, was a team-mate with Nottingham. “Off the field, he’s a nice guy,” Voges said. “I’ve played a lot with him, I’ve always got along well with him. It’s always different when you walk across the white line, and we won’t be saying too much to each other I’m pretty sure. Once it’s all finished I’m sure we’ll have a beer afterwards but we’re here for business now, and that’s how it will be.”It’s the Ashes, we all grow up watching and is probably the most important Test series, so from that point of view, because of the occasion and how big it is, there’s always going to be a little bit of niggle in the heat of the moment, and that’s fine. Looking forward to getting out there.”

A boa qualidade do Flamengo no Campeonato Brasileiro e na Libertadores faz os jornalistas compararem com alguns times brasileiros dos últimos anos. Um dos citados é o Santos de 2010 com Neymar, Robinho, Ganso e André. Integrante dos dois elencos, o lateral-direito Pará ficou com o Peixe de nove anos atrás.

Até junho deste ano, Pará atuava no Flamengo, mas perdeu espaço com a chegada de Rafinha, do Bayern de Munique (ALE).

-Uma pergunta até fácil de responder. Na minha opinião, o Santos de 2010 jogava o futebol mais bonito, mais elegante, mais pra frente. Ganhávamos os jogos na Vila… ganhamos de 10 a 0 do Naviraiense, 8 a 1 do Guarani. O Santos jogava mais – afirmou o camisa 31, em entrevista coletiva, nesta segunda-feira, no CT Rei Pelé.

O Santos de 2010 foi campeão do Campeonato Paulista e da Copa do Brasil, enquanto o Flamengo deste ano é o líder do Brasileirão e finalista da Libertadores.

Pará deve ser titular contra o Avaí, nesta quarta-feira, às 21h, na Ressacada, pela 31ª rodada do Brasileiro. Quase garantido na Libertadores 2020, o Peixe é o terceiro colocado, com 58 pontos.

No último treino antes de enfrentar o Corinthians, neste sábado, o Palmeiras permitiu que os jornalistas vissem somente os primeiros dez minutos, de aquecimento, na tarde desta sexta-feira. E todos os jogadores poupados no meio da semana estiveram no gramado da Academia de Futebol.

O goleiro Weverton, o lateral-direito Marcos Rocha, o zagueiro Vitor Hugo, o lateral-esquerdo Diogo Barbosa, o volante Bruno Henrique e o meia Gustavo Scarpa, que sequer foram ao Rio de Janeiro para participar da vitória por 2 a 1 sobre o Vasco, na quarta-feira, devem voltar ao time para o Dérbi.

Dudu, que ficou no banco e participou no segundo tempo do jogo em São Januário, também deve retomar sua vaga entre os 11 que iniciam o clássico. Os desfalques certos são o volante Felipe Melo, suspenso pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD), e o meia Lucas Lima, que cumpre gancho por acúmulo de cartões amarelos.

O provável Palmeiras para o clássico marcado para as 19h deste sábado, no Pacaembu, tem: Weverton; Marcos Rocha, Gustavo Gómez, Vitor Hugo e Diogo Barbosa; Thiago Santos e Bruno Henrique; Zé Rafael, Gustavo Scarpa e Dudu; Luiz Adriano (Deyverson).

Luiz Adriano continua como dúvida porque reclamou de um incômodo na coxa direita. Não foi constatada nenhuma lesão no local, mas a região que o centroavante machucou contra o Santos, em 9 de outubro, ainda apresenta sensibilidade – o que o fez sentir dores ao participar da vitória contra o Vasco, embora suportando-a a ponto de fazer o gol da vitória. O camisa 10 será reavaliado horas antes do Dérbi e, se não jogar, Deyverson deve ser titular.

Com 31 rodadas disputadas, o Palmeiras ocupa a segunda colocação do Campeonato Brasileiro, com 66 pontos, oito atrás do Flamengo, enquanto o Corinthians tem 48 pontos, aparecendo na sexta posição, dentro da faixa da tabela que garante vaga na próxima edição da Libertadores.

Australia need only a draw to become the world’ No. 1 ranked Test team, but they must contend with overseas inconsistency, a green pitch, and a Brendon McCullum farewell

‘New Zealand need to put external pressures behind them’

Big PictureAustralia need only a draw to become the world’s No. 1 Test team. Easier said than done, for a few reasons. First, it has been an awful long time since Australia have been consistent away from home. Australia won consecutive Tests in the Caribbean against the woeful West Indies in early 2015, but the previous time they managed that was in New Zealand as far back as 2010. Plenty of times – think England 2009, Pakistan (in England) 2010, South Africa 2014, England 2015 – an Australian touring team have followed resounding victory with abject defeat. Well as Steven Smith’s team played in Wellington, they have this mental hurdle to negotiate over the next five days.Secondly, it is an essential part of this Australian team’s DNA to play for a win. Thoughts of absorbing New Zealand’s efforts to force a win through self-preserving tactical decisions are unlikely to enter the minds of Smith and the coach Darren Lehmann. Instead they will be going for victory and a 2-0 margin, on a pitch likely to favour the seam bowlers for even longer than the Basin Reserve did. New Zealand’s coach Mike Hesson made no secret of his desire to see the Hagley Oval surface prepared to be as lively as possible, so the ball seams around for more than the first morning. Such an outcome may lessen the importance of the toss, but it should also cut the draw out of the equation, making Australia’s chance of a successful series closer to 50/50 than 66/33.Lastly, this is of course Brendon McCullum’s final match for New Zealand, an occasion weighty with emotion for every player in the home side and every spectator expected to turn up at a sold out Hagley Oval. The Australians know from personal experience that retirements don’t always inspire great Test match performances, but there remains the chance of an exceptionally steely New Zealand display not only for McCullum, but to try to keep intact the team’s proud record of not having lost a series at home since 2012. In replacing the injured Doug Bracewell with Matt Henry, they also have the added benefit of including a bowler who was critical to the ODI series win – his duel with Smith will be particularly bracing.Form guideNew Zealand: LWWLD (last five completed matches, most recent first)

In the spotlightIn Australia last year, Kane Williamson was close to impassable. This time around, Smith’s team have found him somewhat less difficult to dislodge, as disciplined plans to keep Williamson pinned down around the off stump have been rewarded consistently. Equally, Williamson’s eagerness to get off to a firm start by capitalising on full deliveries down the ground was penalised by the early seaming conditions at the Basin Reserve. In the final match before he likely takes over the mantle of all-format leadership from McCullum, Williamson will be hoping to set the batting example for his team – substance is required, and he is the best man to deliver it.Amid the batting feast in Wellington, David Warner sat and watched, doubtless wondering what might have been without his early slash at a Tim Southee delivery angled across him. Such dismissals have seldom been glimpsed when Warner has batted at home over the past three seasons, but they have become increasingly prevalent abroad. Not since Pakistan in October 2014 has he made an overseas Test hundred – in Australia over that period he’s made two at the SCG alone. As vice-captain, Warner’s enormous ability needs to be melded with responsibility, and to make a century in Christchurch, thus helping Australia to global supremacy, would be a strong step in that direction.Team newsDoug Bracewell’s injury absence will open up a chance for Matt Henry, while the hosts are still mulling over the possible inclusion of Neil Wagner in place of Mark Craig.New Zealand (possible) 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Tom Latham, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Henry Nicholls, 5 Brendon McCullum (capt), 6 Corey Anderson, 7 BJ Watling (wk), 8 Mark Craig/Neil Wagner, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Matt Henry, 11 Trent BoultJames Pattinson will come into the Australian side in place of the injured Peter Siddle.Australia 1 David Warner, 2 Joe Burns, 3 Usman Khawaja, 4 Steven Smith (capt), 5 Adam Voges, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Peter Nevill (wk), 8 James Pattinson, 9 Josh Hazlewood, 10 Nathan Lyon, 11 Jackson BirdPitch and conditionsHagley Oval’s pitch looks similarly green to that of Basin Reserve, and both teams are curious as to how it will play. “I think it actually looks pretty similar to the last wicket the day before the game,” Smith said. “It’s quite hard to tell how it’s going to play until you get out there on the morning of the game when they’ve given it a roll and you see it for the last time.”Stats and trivia Australia will become the world’s No. 1 ranked Test team with a win or draw in Christchurch New Zealand have twice come back from 1-0 down to tie a Test series with Australia, at home in 1993 and away in 2011 New Zealand won the only previous Test played at Hagley Oval, against Sri Lanka in December 2014Quotes”The goal of this team is to be No. 1 in all formats of the game, and if we win this week, we tick off two of those formats. But for me it is about making sure we are improving and being better.”

Invicto há 18 rodadas e com oito pontos de vantagem sobre o Palmeiras, vice-líder, o Flamengo caminha para conquistar o título do Campeonato Brasileiro. Entre os atletas e comissão técnica, o discurso é o mesmo: pensar jogo a jogo, independentemente do rival ou local da partida. Contudo, com 21 pontos em disputa, os jogadores já admitem a proximidade da conquista do Brasileirão.

– Nosso pensamento é no Flamengo, no que temos que fazer dentro de campo. Temos uma vantagem por méritos, por qualidade da nossa equipe. A gente precisa pensar somente em nós. Sabemos que se continuarmos fazendo nosso trabalho, seremos campeões – disse o camisa 3 do Flamengo, antes de seguir:

– Esse é pensamento de todos os jogadores e comissão, para que a gente, a cada joga, possa fazer o nosso trabalho, se impondo dentro e fora de campo.

Nas últimas sete rodadas do Brasileirão, o Flamengo enfrentará o Bahia (C), Vasco (C), Grêmio (F), Ceará (C), Palmeiras (F), Avaí (C) e Santos (F). Neste momento, o Palmeiras alcançará 87 pontos se vencer todos jogos até o final. Portanto, o Rubro-Negro precisa de 14 pontos para garantir o título nacional.

Neste cenário favorável no Brasileirão, o Flamengo ainda tem a Libertadores em foco. No dia 23, em Lima, no Peru, a equipe de Jorge Jesus disputará a final do torneio contra o River Plate, da Argentina, atual campeão sul-americano.

New South Wales were well poised to secure a place against South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final after dismantling Victoria’s top order late on the third day in Alice Springs

ScorecardDaniel Christian picked up 5 for 40•Getty Images

New South Wales were well poised to secure a place against South Australia in the Sheffield Shield final after dismantling Victoria’s top order late on the third day in Alice Springs. Chasing 249 for victory, which would put them in the decider instead of the Blues, the Bushrangers closed the day wobbling at 3 for 20, with Marcus Stoinis on 13, Matthew Wade on 1, and a further 249 runs needed.The day had started with Victoria 8 for 239 in their first innings and they added just 12 more for the loss of their last two wickets. New South Wales started shakily in their second innings and were 2 for 8 in the fifth over, but captain Nic Maddinson (40) helped to steady the effort before Ryan Carters (39) and Trent Copeland (47) added some important later runs.Daniel Christian picked up 5 for 40 for Victoria and Jon Holland collected 3 for 48 as the Bushrangers dismissed the Blues for 178 to give themselves a realistic hope of victory. However, Copeland removed both of Victoria’s openers in his first two overs and Sean Abbott also picked up a wicket before stumps to leave New South Wales on top.
