وأتم: “ناصر منسي أفضل مهاجم في مصر، وليس وسام أبو علي، كما أنني هداف الدوري والجماهير هي من تحكم”.

O técnico Tiago Nunes lamentou a derrota e eliminação do Ceará no Campeonato Cearense, após o confronto diante do Iguatu. Em coletiva, o técnico assumiu a responsabilidade do resultado negativo, mas afirmou que o foco é a Copa do Brasil.

Tiago Nunes afirmou que a culpa é toda dele. “A gente desempenha o futebol, que é um esporte coletivo, onde compartilhamos as responsabilidades, compartilha muito dos ônus e dos bônus […] se há de se eleger um culpado, o culpado sou eu, o treinador do Ceará, Tiago Nunes, sou eu o culpado pelo que aconteceu. E assumo a responsabilidade de maneira total, sem problema algum, e vou arcar com isso tentando dar o meu melhor, junto com a comissão técnica, grupo de atletas e clube, para que consigamos reverter essa imagem.”, disse.

“O primeiro passo é olhar para si mesmo, para dentro, olhar para o que nós apresentamos no jogo de hoje (sábado), olhar para nossa disponibilidade e os atletas que estão à disposição, entender quais foram nossas limitações, o que podemos evoluir, fazer uma análise racional disso tudo e através dessa análise mostrar aos atletas quais são os pontos que precisamos evoluir. Temos conversado diariamente, não temos tempo para ficarmos lamentando. Estamos tristes, insatisfeitos, sentindo muito a dor dessa desclassificação, mas temos que levantar a cabeça partir para próxima e focar todas as energias no próximo jogo (contra o São Raimundo-RR)”, completou Tiago Nunes.

Quando questionado sobre o desempenho apresentado por seus jogadores, ele comentou sobre as lições que teve com a derrota para o Iguatu e a desclassificação no Campeonato Cearense. “Nos dois jogos anteriores, contra Atlético-BA e Iguatu, nós vencemos e merecemos vencer, independente da questão da performance. […] O jogo de hoje foi um jogo onde tivemos muita dificuldade de competir. O adversário venceu duelos no meio-campo mais vezes que a gente, usou do jogo direto, que eles estão acostumado a fazer aqui dentro (Estádio Morenão), e nós não conseguimos equilibrar esse jogo. Demoramos demais para entrar na partida tecnicamente, abdicamos de um jogo por aproximação por um jogo de forçar bolas longas, de transições e, consequentemente, fugindo da nossa principal característica que é o jogo de apoio. Também, logicamente, sentimos falta de jogadores importantes que estão fora do elenco neste momento, jogadores que vinham dando uma sustenção, para que pudéssemos ter uma rodagem física do grupo. São pequenos fatos que acabam colaborando para que não consigamos manter a regularidade da performance. A partir deste momento, precisamos pensar fora da caixa, pensar novas opções e o que fez de positivo e negativo. Não há tempo de se lamentar. […] É caminhar olhando para frente neste momento, lamber as feridas e buscar a classificação na Copa do Brasil.”

O comandante destacou as próximas competições da equipe.”Primeiro iremos sentir a derrota, entender a grandeza do clube, a representativa de que o Ceará tem, ainda mais na região Nordeste e no campeonato local. Tem que sentir. Nós todos estamos sentindo muito, os jogadores também tem que sentir bastante e saber que é algo ruim para a imagem do clube, para nossa imagem profissional e que temos que dar a volta por cima apresentado resultado imediato. Temos condições para isso, elenco para isso, temos bagagem e experiência suficiente para administrar um momento ruim também. Já passamos por dificuldades na carreira em outras circunstâncias. É um momento de compartilhar essa dor, assumir a responsabilidade e seguir em frente, tentando remediar isso, se é possível, da maneira mais rápida possível, com a classificação na Copa do Brasil”.

ظهر مدرب برشلونة هانز فليك، في مؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة، للتحدث إلى وسائل الإعلام قبل مباراة الفريق أمام ريال بيتيس ببطولة الدوري الإسباني.

وتأتي مباراة برشلونة وريال بيتيس ضمن منافسات الجولة الثلاثين لمسابقة الدوري الإسباني لموسم 2024-2025.

وبدأ فليك الحديث بقوله: ستكون مباراة صعبة، وقد رأينا ذلك في الكأس على أرضنا أيضًا، النتيجة لم تعكس سير المباراة، علينا أن نبذل قصارى جهدنا ضدهم، علينا إدارة ضغط اللاعبين، ومساعدتهم على استعادة لياقتهم البدنية”.

وعن المباراة الماضية أمام أتلتيكو مدريد في نصف نهائي كأس ملك إسبانيا، أفاد: “أعتقد أنني ذكرت هذا سابقًا، قلته مرة أو مرتين، وجدنا مفتاح الفوز في الملعب، دافعنا بشكل جيد للغاية في الشوط الثاني، يسعدني أننا تحسنّا، حتى في الاستحواذ”.

وأضاف: “الأخطاء واردة، لكن هناك أخطاء أخرى يمكننا التوقف عن ارتكابها، في النهاية، أعتقد أننا نتحسن، والفريق الآن يؤمن بما يقدمه، لديه القدرة على الفوز على أي فريق”.

وعن لاعبه جافي، قال فليك: “كنا نعتقد أنه سيلعب بضع دقائق ضد أتلتيكو، ولكن بعد ذلك ساورتنا شكوك، فقررت إبعاده، الآن لا يعاني من أي مشاكل، تحدثت مع الأطباء وأخصائي العلاج الطبيعي، وهو جاهز للمشاركة غدًا”.

واستطرد: “نراقب كل شيء، نتحقق يوميًا من شعورهم ومستواهم، هل ينامون جيدًا؟ نقيس كل شيء، من المهم لهم أن يأكلوا ويناموا جيدًا، الفوز يُساعد كثيرًا، ويمنحك الثقة، وهذا ما يؤمن به الفريق”.

وأشار: “عندما أقرأ أو أستمع للاعبين، أشعر وكأنني أقول إننا في لحظة جيدة، ولا خوف، هناك ثقة، اليوم، يُعجبني ما أراه في غرفة الملابس”.

واسترسل: “عندما قلتُ إنه يجب علينا إدارة اللاعبين، كنتُ أشير إلى أعباء عملهم وتدريباتهم ومبارياتهم، هذا أمر طبيعي، أتحدث مع المختصين، ونتخذ القرار معًا، نركز دائمًا على المباراة التالية، بيتيس، وليس دورتموند، علينا أن نأخذ في الاعتبار جاهزية اللاعبين”.

ويلتقي برشلونة في نهائي كأس الملك مع ريال مدريد، وأردف فليك: “كما ذكرتُ سابقًا، أعشق الأحلام، لكن علينا أيضًا التركيز على المباراة القادمة، الأحلام تتحقق بالعمل الجاد والتركيز، أشعر أن الفريق يؤمن بنفسه، نقاتل من أجل كل شيء، نحن هنا، نقاتل، نؤمن بأنفسنا، وهذه لحظة رائعة”.

وفيما يتعلق بمنافسة ريال مدريد وبرشلونة على لقب الدوري الإسباني، قال: “لا يزال هناك الكثير، تسع مباريات، تسع جولات متبقية، هذا عدد كبير من النقاط للفوز به، هذه ليست مجرد منافسة بين ريال مدريد وبرشلونة، هناك فرق أخرى في المنافسة، ولديها القدرة على الفوز باللقب”.

وعن رئيس برشلونة خوان لابورتا، أكد فليك: “لا أعرف ما يحلم به لابورتا، أتمنى أن تكون أحلامه سعيدة، لكنني دائمًا أفكر بإيجابية، وأرغب دائمًا في الفوز، هدفنا هو خوض 15 مباراة أخرى، إذا حققنا ذلك، سأكون سعيدًا جدًا”.

وشدد: “لا أريد التحدث عن نفسي، أقول دائمًا إن لديّ فريق رائع، مُحاط بخبراء، أستطيع التركيز على عملي، وهو إيجاد أفكار للعب الجيد وتزويدهم بالأدوات اللازمة ليصبحوا لاعبين وأشخاصا أفضل، أتمنى لو رأيتم أجواء غرفة الملابس”.

واختتم فليك حديثه بالإشادة بمدرب بيتيس، بيليجريني: “إنه يقوم بعمل رائع، إنه مدرب رائع وذو خبرة كبيرة، إنه يعرف كيف يُخرج أفضل ما في كل فريق يدربه، أنت ترى أنتوني من قبل والآن وترى تأثير المدرب على ما يقدمه”.

Along with Mohammad Shahzad, Tamim added 173 for the first wicket

Mohammad Isam28-Jan-2022

How the match played out
A day after announcing his break from T20Is, Tamim Iqbal played one of his most destructive innings. It led to Minister Group Dhaka’s nine-wicket win over Sylhet Sunrisers with three overs to spare. A smiling Tamim finished things off with his umpteenth cover-driven boundary as he and Mohammad Shahzad made a mockery of the 176-run chase.The Dhaka opening pair brought up the first century stand of the BBL 2022, which ended at 173 when Shahzad got out with the target three runs away. Tamim’s century upended Lendl Simmons’ 65-ball 116, which was the first hundred of the season.The win lifted Dhaka from the bottom of the points table to fourth position, while Sylhet lost their second game in three outings.Big hit
Tamim was dropped on nought when Mohammad Mithun failed to latch on to a tough chance at slip off Taskin Ahmed. After the reprieve, the opener didn’t let the Sylhet bowlers settle. He hammered the ball through the covers, both from the crease and while charging the bowlers. He also scored runs down the ground, but his most productive area was behind square on the leg side, where he hit six fours and one six.Shahzad, for once, was the quieter of the two openers. When Tamim reached his fifty, Shahzad was on 14. The Afghan marauder did get his boundaries eventually, with well-timed cuts and wristy flicks, but he mostly played a supportive role.Earlier in the day, Simmons provided entertainment as well. He struck all five of his sixes down the ground, two over long-off and the other three towards long-on or wide long-on. During his stay, Simmons also hit 14 fours, most of which were through the off side.Andre Russell bore the brunt of Simmons’ big-hitting, conceding 42 runs off 14 balls against him, including seven fours and two sixes.Big miss
Simmons made 116, but the rest of the Sylhet batters combined to score only 52 runs off 55 balls, hitting just four fours and two sixes between them. This is where Sylhet fell behind in the match. They also missed the left-arm spinner Nazmul Islam, who took seven wickets in the last two matches including 4 for18 in their previous match against Dhaka. In the same match, however, Nazmul injured his right hand and was ruled out of this game.

Newcastle United have seriously struggled in the final third this season. Eddie Howe’s side have scored just 13 goals in 11 Premier League games this season, which is the joint-fifth lowest total in the division and the fewest of any team in the top half.

Alexander Isak, who last season netted 21 times in the top flight, has just four so far this season, while wingers Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon have managed just four and two goals respectively.

Addressing his team’s poor goal return following their defeat to Brighton last month, Howe said: “We’re going through a phase where we’re not scoring, but the positive is we’re creating chances.”

“We can’t feel sorry for ourselves, it’s back to hard work on the training pitch,” he added.

While things have picked up slightly in recent weeks, with the Magpies having scored six in their last three games in all competitions, including three in a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, Newcastle will no doubt be looking to bring him in some offensive reinforcements in both January and next summer.

Ibrahim Maza wanted at Newcastle

One attacking talent Newcastle and PIF are reportedly eyeing for a move next year is Hertha BSC’s Ibrahim Maza. According to Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the Magpies are one of a number of Premier League clubs “interested” in the 18-year-old attacking midfielder, alongside Brentford, Fulham, Leicester City, and West Ham.

Plettenberg claims that if Hertha, who were relegated to Germany’s second division in 2023, fail to achieve a return to the Bundesliga this term, “a departure at the end of the season seems likely.” Maza, who Plettenberg described as “one of the rising stars of the 2. Bundesliga,” is valued somewhere between £8 and £16.7 million.

Hertha are currently 11th in the 2. Bundesliga, having won five, lost five, and drawn two of their 12 games so far. Maza has been a ray of hope for Cristian Fiel’s side, however, having scored four goals and provided two assists in all competitions.

Who is Ibrahim Maza?

Maza has spent his entire professional career with Hertha, having initially joined the Old Lady as a boy in 2018. He made his first-team debut for the club in a defeat to Bayern Munich in April 2023 and has since been a regular fixture in Fiel’s first-team squad.

Born in Germany, he previously represented a number of the country’s youth teams, but now plays for Algeria at senior level, for whom he is eligible through his father. Maza received his first call-up last month for the Fennec Foxes last month and made his debut in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Togo.

Speaking about Maza after his call-up, Algeria boss Vladimir Petkovic said of the teenager: “He’s a talented and technically gifted player with a high footballing IQ, despite his youth”.

“His early-season statistics speak volumes about his potential and ability to influence the game with deadly runs and build-up play,” he added.

تصاعدت الأزمة القانونية بين النجم الفرنسي كيليان مبابي، لاعب ريال مدريد، وناديه السابق باريس سان جيرمان.

وغادر مبابي صفوف باريس سان جيرمان في الصيف الماضي بعد 7 أعوام قضاها في الفريق، وانتقل إلى ريال مدريد في صفقة انتقال حر.

وهناك مستحقات مالية متأخرة من باريس سان جيرمان لمبابي، لم يدفعها النادي الفرنسي بعد، وتحول الأمر لساحات المحاكم بين الطرفين.

وبحسب ما ذكرت صحيفة “إندبندت” البريطانية، أكد فريق مبابي القانوني تنفيذ حجز احتياطي على قرابة 50 مليون جنيه إسترليني من حسابات باريس سان جيرمان، بسبب مستحقات مالية لم تُدفع لللاعب.

وبحسب محامي مبابي، فإن اللاعب يطالب بالحصول على 55 مليون يورو كرواتب متأخرة، تعود لفترة تواجده في صفوف باريس سان جيرمان قبل انتقاله إلى ريال مدريد الصيف الماضي.

وقال توماس كلاي، أحد المحامين الممثلين لمبابي، إن المحكمة منحتهم الإذن بالحجز الاحتياطي، وتم تنفيذ القرار يوم الخميس.

ومن المقرر عقد جلسة استماع رسمية في 26 مايو المقبل للنظر في القضية بين مبابي وباريس سان جيرمان.

وأكدت المحامية الرئيسية لمبابي، دلفين فيرهايدن، أنهم قرروا التحرك بعد عام من المحاولات السلمية لحل النزاع، قائلة: “لقد مر عام منذ بداية هذه القصة، حاولنا طوال هذه الفترة إيجاد حل سلمي، ولكن دون جدوى، مبابي لم يحصل حتى الآن على مستحقاته، وقد حان وقت الهجوم”.

وأشار الفريق القانوني إلى أنه يعتزم طلب تدخل وزير الرياضة الفرنسي، وكذلك مخاطبة الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم (يويفا)، بسبب ما وصفوه بإخلال باريس سان جيرمان بالتزاماته التعاقدية، وهي خطوة قد تُهدد مشاركة النادي الفرنسي في دوري أبطال أوروبا.

وتأتي هذه التطورات في وقت قد يشهد فيه مواجهة محتملة بين مبابي وفريقه السابق في دوري الأبطال، إذا تجاوز ريال مدريد وباريس سان جيرمان مرحلة الدور ربع النهائي.

O árbitro registrou os acontecimentos na súmula e as torcidas foram punidas. As TOs não poderão ir a jogos do Botafogo por 90 dias. Nas redes sociais, a “Torcida Jovem do Botafogo” e a “Loucos pelo Botafogo” se pronunciaram.

Torcida Jovem
​”A Torcida Jovem do Botafogo vem a público informar que, fomos surpreendidos na data de hoje, com um comunicado de que estamos suspensos de comparecer aos estádios pelo período de 90 dias.

Segundo o comunicado, a suspensão se deu pelo fato ocorrido no dia 23/02, na partida contra o clube da gávea, onde supostamente a TJB teria incitado a prática de violência contra a equipe de arbitragem no final do primeiro tempo.

Não concordamos com tal suspensão, até pelo fato da revolta da torcida do Botafogo ter sido geral e não das organizadas, tornando a identificação das pessoas no momento do acontecido bastante difícil. Os que foram identificados, foram prontamente retirados da arquibancada e nenhum deles era componente da Torcida Jovem.

Informamos a todos os membros e simpatizantes que nossos materiais de corpo (camisa, boné, bermuda e etc) estão LIBERADOS. A suspensão é somente para baterias, faixas e bandeiras.

O cumprimento da suspensão iniciou no dia 27/02.

Em breve estaremos de volta e mais fortes. NÓS SOMOS A TJB, A MAIS TRADICIONAL!”

​Loucos
​”LIBERDADE PRA TORCER

Mais uma vez, após mais um jogo contra o time da Gávea fomos punidos de forma arbitrária. Em 2019 já havíamos recebidos 30 dias de suspensão dos materiais após um jogo contra eles.

Dessa vez a punição são de 90 dias a contar de 27/02 devido aos objetos arremessados em campo pela torcida do Botafogo, quando o árbitro da partida tentava descer pro vestiário.

Ato este onde não havia NENHUM(A) integrante dos Loucos Pelo Botafogo envolvido(a), há diversas filmagens que comprovam isso.

Nosso histórico fala por si só. São 16 anos defendendo única e exclusivamente o BOTAFOGO. Pensando e vivendo somente arquibancada.

Com essa punição a torcida do BOTAFOGO fica sem material de arquibancada na semifinal do Carioca e numa eventual final. Além de sete rodadas do campeonato brasileiro também sem instrumentos, faixas e bandeiras.

A quem interessa uma punição tão extensa?

No mais, blusas e acessórios da torcida permanecerem LIBERADOS na arquibancada. O descontrole continuará acontecendo na mureta de sempre. Nunca nos calarão.

Desde 2006, a barra do BOTAFOGO!

The total prize money has also gone up by 75% to $3.5 million

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Feb-2022

The ICC has doubled the prize money for the winners of the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup to $1.32 million. They have also increased the overall prize money pot by 75%, with eight teams getting a share of $3.5 million, a figure $1.5 million more than the 2017 edition which England had won.The runners-up will take home $600,000, which is $270,000 more than what second-placed India received in 2017. The two losing semi-finalists will receive $300,000 each, while the four teams who will fly back home after the group stage will be awarded a sum of $70,000 – up from the $30,000 prize from the previous edition.Related

Every group stage win will also earn the teams a reward of $25,000 per victory from a total pot of $700,000.That makes it a rise in the prize money for consecutive editions of the Women’s ODI World Cup. The total prize money between the 2013 and the 2017 edition had seen a ten-fold increase when it went up from $200,000 to $2 million. England, the 2017 winners, got a reward of $660,000 after beating India by nine runs at Lord’s to claim their fourth title.Eight teams are participating at the World Cup this year – to run from March 4 to April 3 in New Zealand – with a total of 28 league games to be played in a round-robin format. Four sides will then move to the semi-finals to be played in Wellington and Christchurch, followed by the final in Christchurch.

Former Aberdeen chief Keith Wyness has discussed potential “great news” regarding the future of Rangers manager Philippe Clement.

Clement battling to save Rangers job

The Belgian has only been in the job at Ibrox for a little over a year, taking over from Michael Beale back in October 2023, but he is already battling hard to remain in charge.

Rangers have made a largely disappointing start to the season, beginning with being dumped out of the Champions League in the qualifying rounds, before allowing themselves to fall 11 points adrift of Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race. Even Aberdeen are nine points clear of them, albeit having played one game more.

On Thursday evening, the Gers won 4-1 away to Nice in the Europa League, in what was a much-needed result for Clement, potentially giving him some leeway for the time being.

On Sunday, he faces another must-win game, however, with Rangers making the trip to St Johnstone in the league. Their opponents are sitting ninth in the table currently, so failure to beat them would be a significant blow, especially to the manager.

Former chief makes big Clement claim at Rangers

Speaking to Football Insider, Wyness claimed that Rangers could allow Clement to take the Belgium job without compensation, saying it could be “great news” for the Scottish giants if they managed to bring in £3m.

“It’s a funny story. The rumours are that there’s a £3million compensation clause in his contract. I think Rangers fans would say: forget the compensation, just take him. I’ve been arguing that he has to remain in place, and I still think he’s a good manager – with a squad like Belgium’s, he could do well.

“I don’t think there’ll be any compensation if Belgium do come in. This may be a situation where both parties decide to move on. If there is to be a change, it will likely come around Christmas. If Rangers get £3million from Belgium, it would be one of the more shocking things I’ve seen in football. It would be great news for the club.”

Rangers supporters are sure to be split when it comes to Clement’s future, with a section of the fanbase showing patience and still seeing him as the right man for the job. There may well be plenty who feel that a change in boss is needed sooner than later, in order to salvage the Gers’ season and keep up their faint chances of catching Celtic in the title race. That may be wishful thinking at this point, but a change in the dugout may freshen things up.

Should Belgium want Clement, though, Rangers should consider not standing in their way, especially in terms of potentially bringing in £3m to aid their financial situation.

One more win will lift England into the last four, but the opener is wary of the opposition’s dangerous spinners

ESPNcricinfo staff26-Mar-2022

Tammy Beaumont says there is no question of England taking liberties against a Bangladesh team that gave even the tournament favourites Australia a scare in windy conditions in Wellington on Friday. However, she remains confident that her own team is peaking at the right time, after dicing with an early exit following three consecutive defeats at the start of their campaign.After a wild ride through the group stages, the permutations are almost complete. Anything other than a defeat to Bangladesh will guarantee England’s place in the last four, where they will be joined by either West Indies or India, who face their own must-win final game against South Africa on Sunday.”It’s incredibly important to keep building that momentum,” Beaumont said after England had turned their hopes around with two tight wins over India and New Zealand, followed by a more comprehensive nine-wicket win over Pakistan in their last outing.Related

“We’re not secured in the semi-finals yet, so we definitely have to go out and have a good performance, and make sure we get that win on the board. Tournament cricket is all about building that momentum to get into finals and then once you’re there, just maintaining it and getting those winning performances.”While Bangladesh have just the one victory in six attempts in the competition so far, they have been involved in a series of close-run encounters, including a four-run loss to West Indies, and a five-wicket defeat against Australia that briefly looked like turning into the shock of the tournament when Australia slipped to 41 for 4 chasing 136 in a rain-reduced chase.And though Beth Mooney’s unbeaten half-century restored order for Australia and maintained their 100% tournament record, Beaumont acknowledged the skill of Bangladesh’s spinners was something that England would not be taking likely. Particularly given the added complications of the windy conditions expected in Wellington, and the dangers of taking the aerial route.”A lot of their bowlers are definitely threats,” Beaumont said. “Salma Khatun, bowling in the powerplay and throughout, is a real key bowler for them. So we’ll definitely try to nullify the threat of her and their other spinners as well. They are just very controlled, very disciplined, pretty good in the field. So we’ll have to put them under pressure for a long period of time and hope to catch up at the back end.”They got a few early wickets against Australia, it’s going be really key to start well against them tomorrow. They obviously don’t bowl with that much pace, so that’s going to be a challenge, particularly here at Wellington. It looks like it’s going to be really windy, one-way hitting into the wind, so we’re going to be very smart.”Salma Khatun celebrates the wicket of Meg Lanning during Bangladesh’s close contest with Australia•Getty Images

Both of Australia’s opening batters perished against Bangladesh while going airborne in the powerplay, and Beaumont acknowledged that she might have to adapt her game accordingly to avoid a similar fate.”When the wind is coming across the wicket, it kind of pushes you over at one end and really challenges your balance, and as someone who gets out lbw for fun anyway, it makes it a lot more difficult,” she joked. “But if you’re going to hit the ball in the air, it has to be more with the wind so that you can hit it longer. It’s a bit silly trying to take on a spinner by hitting into the wind to get it up and over, and the ball almost comes back to the fielder. You’ve got to be smart about when you choose to hit the ball in the air, and when you choose to hit it on the floor.”The very fact that Bangladesh look capable of challenging the reigning world champions was, Beaumont believed, a credit to the rising standards of the women’s game, which has been in full evidence during a compelling group stage that has featured an extraordinary number of tense final-over finishes.”It’s been a brilliant tournament,” Beaumont said. “You’ve seen so many close games, and quite a few upsets – involving us, most of the time – but it’s been brilliant for women’s cricket. The last thing anyone wants is a very predictable World Cup where you can very much tell what every result is going to be. It’s great to see the standards have gone through the roof for every country, and not the ones that are getting massive financial backing from their boards.”Bangladesh should be playing against the likes of us more regularly, and in the new cycle for the next ODI World Cup, we will be playing against them more. It’s only good for women’s cricket if more and more teams are playing against the top teams and improving. There have been a lot more close games at this World Cup, no matter who you are, and the likes of Bangladesh have really contributed to that.”For England, however, the end of an arduous winter campaign is drawing nigh. One more win, and they will be braced for another World Cup semi-final – potentially against South Africa, the team they edged out by two wickets at the same stage of the 2017 tournament. And Beaumont felt the squad had the focus and the form to brace for one big push to the finish.”We obviously started a little bit slow in the comp,” Beaumont said. “But our bowlers are certainly peaking at the right time. Katherine Brunt looked in really good rhythm last game, Kate Cross has been brilliant throughout, [so has] Sophie Ecclestone. Everyone’s chipping in where they can.”With the batting, I guess we haven’t had that that solid opening partnership yet, but it was good to see Danni [Wyatt] go on and get some good runs in the last game [against Pakistan], and there’s been contributions throughout. So I do feel like we’re starting to play our best cricket as we come into the back end of this tournament.”I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough. It’s been a very long time away from home. And even before that, there were all sorts of rules and regulations around Covid protocols and stuff,” she added. “This is the longest I’ve been on tour with England, but it’s what we signed up for, and it’s one-and-a-half weeks to go. If we can take a trophy home with us, it all will be worth it.”
