O Palmeiras enfrenta o Vasco, neste domingo, pela 18ª Rodada do Brasileirão-2018, quando Felipão faz sua estreia no Allianz Parque. No entanto, os olhos também estarão voltados para a partida de volta das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, na próxima quinta-feira, no Pacaembu. Para o duelo com o Bahia, o Verdão anuciou a venda antecipada de 13 mil ingressos.

A comercialização de bilhetes com exclusividade para os sócios-torcedores foi encerrada na manhã deste sábado, e o público geral já pode garantir o seu bilhete para o jogo que pode garantir uma vaga aos palmeirenses na semfinal da competição nacional. No primeiro confronto, houve empate em 0 a 0 e não há o critério dos gols fora de casa.

O Allianz receberá show dos Tribalistas no dia 18 e, por isso, a partida contra o Bahia, no dia 16, que define o classificado para as semifinais da Copa do Brasil, ocorrerá no Pacaembu.

A alteração do local do confronto foi publicada no site da CBF na última segunda-feira. A entidade justifica que o motivo da mudança é por “força maior, devido à indisponibilidade do estádio Allianz Parque nesta data” e reforça que é uma “alteração sem prejuízo técnico aos clubes envolvidos”. Foi mantido o horário da partida: 19h15.

Os responsáveis pelo Allianz Parque informam que o show do grupo liderado por Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes e Carlinhos Brown está marcado há, aproximadamente, seis meses, antes da definição do calendário da Copa do Brasil, e que o Palmeiras foi informado disso em 22 de janeiro. Chegou-se a abrir negociações com os promotores do evento para atrasar a montagem do palco, mas não foi possível. A apresentação será só dois dias após o jogo, tempo menor do que o necessário para armar uma apresentação que usa toda a arena, segundo os organizadores.

Os primeiros 22 minutos de jogo no Castelão e os 2 a 0 no placar deram a impressão de que o Palmeiras, vindo de uma ótima atuação contra o Grêmio fora de casa, teria mais um jogo seguro contra o Ceará. Ficou só na impressão. Sem a mesma força do começo da partida, o time levou o empate nos minutos finais e o que parecia a consolidação de um dos favoritos ao título brasileiro fez com que a torcida voltasse a se questionar do porquê o Palmeiras oscila tanto.

Esta é uma dúvida recorrente em 2018. Já foi levantada na reta final do Paulista, quando o time fez bons primeiros jogos na semi e na final, mas não manteve o nível nas partidas de volta; depois da histórica vitória sobre o Boca Juniors (ARG) na Bombonera, seguida de um 0 a 0 sem graça com a Chapecoense em casa; e mais recentemente na sequência de derrotas para Sport e Cruzeiro no Brasileiro.

Agora, o time vinha das vitórias contra o São Paulo e o Grêmio e havia adquirido uma vantagem confortável diante do lanterna, mesmo tendo de fazer mudanças na zaga e meio-campo, seja por lesões, desgaste ou suspensões. Foram quatro alterações em relação à equipe que atuou em Porto Alegre, mas mesmo assim o Verdão começou com bom toque de bola, paciência e jogadas rápidas. Dudu, com um gol e uma assistência, era o principal jogador palmeirense.

Só que com o passar dos minutos o Ceará passou a explorar os problemas defensivos no lado direito do Palmeiras. Marcos Rocha teve dificuldades, mas os meias que caíam naquele setor voltaram pouco, e o camisa 2 normalmente estava sobrecarregado. Foi nas suas costas, sem marcação, que Felipe Azevedo descontou o placar e deu um fôlego que não se esperava ver no Vozão.

Depois de um primeiro tempo sem centroavante, mas com muita bola na área, Lisca colocou Elton como referência na etapa final. O Palmeiras já não conseguia trabalhar jogadas como no começo do jogo e a partida começou a tornar-se perigosa especialmente com jogadas pelos lados do campo. Ainda assim, teve chances claras para matar o jogo, com Edu Dracena, que fez tudo certo, mas parou no travessão, e Hyoran, que finalizou mal.

O castigo veio quando em mais um cruzamento Felipe Azevedo ganhou de Thiago Martins, Elton foi mais rápido que Marcos Rocha e aproveitou a indecisão de Jailson ao sair do gol para igualar o placar. Primeiro ponto do Ceará depois de quatro derrotas seguidas.

Roger Machado diz que é sempre importante trazer ao menos um ponto quando se joga fora de casa. Mas em vez de terminar na vice-liderança, o que aconteceria em caso de vitória, o Palmeiras é apenas o sexto ao desperdiçar os dois pontos, a oito pontos da liderança.

Se durante o ano o Verdão escorrega contra adversários mais modestos, ao menos tem a chance de se recuperar com um jogo grande na quarta: contra o Flamengo, atual líder do Brasileiro. Um bom resultado vai evitar que o Rubro-negro já abra 11 pontos de vantagem. Mas para colocar-se como real candidato ao título, o Palmeiras precisa parar com esta gangorra.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is set to return to Pakistan tonight in a bid to resolve his ongoing dispute with the PCB

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Jun-2011Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is set to return to Pakistan tonight in a bid to resolve his ongoing dispute with the PCB. Afridi, who is currently in London, is scheduled to appear before a three-man disciplinary committee formed by the board on June 8 in Lahore, to face charges that he has breached two clauses of the code of conduct with his retirement announcement and subsequent criticism of the board.Mandviwalla and Zafar Associates, the legal firm representing Afridi, had sent a letter to the PCB on June 3 in a bid to resolve the on-going dispute between the two parties. At the time, Afridi’s management told ESPNcricinfo that he would appear before the committee. However, some reports suggest that Afridi and his legal team may not attend the hearing as the allrounder is reportedly uncomfortable with an in-camera hearing that the PCB want, though this has not yet been confirmed.Over the last couple of days, Afridi is reported to have met and spoken to a number of Pakistani political figures in London and Pakistan, including, apparently, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (the son of the Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari) and former prime minister and opposition leader Nawaz Sharif. He has already appealed directly to the president to look into the matter, and the country’s interior minister Rehman Malik has also got involved.A measure of his popularity – or influence – emerged over the weekend as several areas of Karachi saw banners and signs appear supporting Afridi. There is the likelihood of his arrival attracting a fair crowd to the airport and there are reports that a rally will be organised in support once he arrives.

England’s injury crisis deepened as the team arrived in Perth ahead of the seventh and final ODI against Australia, as Paul Collingwood was officially ruled out of the series

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Feb-2011

England’s injury crisis deepened as the team arrived in Perth ahead of the seventh and final ODI against Australia, as Paul Collingwood was officially ruled out of the match following the back spasm that prevented him from bowling during Wednesday’s two-wicket defeat at the SCG. He will return to the UK immediately, but is expected to be fit for the start of the World Cup, with the team setting off for Bangladesh on February 12.”He had a back spasm so he couldn’t walk very well and he certainly couldn’t bowl,” Strauss said in the aftermath of the Sydney defeat. “At the moment we are a bit short on bowlers full stop.”Collingwood is the fifth member of England’s one-day squad to finish the series back in England, with Tim Bresnan (calf) and Graeme Swann (back) already in the country, and Ajmal Shahzad (hamstring) and Chris Tremlett (side) currently flying back from Sydney.Stuart Broad, who tore his abdominal muscle during the second Ashes Test in December, is back with the squad but is unlikely to be passed fit for the Perth ODI, which means Durham’s Liam Plunkett, a recent arrival from the Lions tour in the Caribbean, is a near-certain starter for a match in which Australia already hold a 5-1 series lead.Plunkett, who was a part of the England team that unexpectedly won the CB Series on their last tour of Australia in 2006-07, arrived in Perth on Tuesday following a 40-hour journey, but believed he would be fresh and ready for action if called upon for the match.”I went from St Kitts to Miami and then Miami to Heathrow. I was there for 10 hours so I had a sleep there and then went to Singapore and here,” Plunkett said. “But I’ve been here two nights now. I’ve had plenty of time to rest and slept on the plane thanks to some sleeping tablets.”With 28 ODIs to his name already, Plunkett offers greater experience than either of England’s recent debutants Steven Finn and Chris Woakes, who along with Jimmy Anderson are the only three fit seamers still remaining with the squad. However, his most recent outing was a one-off fixture against Bangladesh in Chittagong back in March, having not been selected since the visit of West Indies in 2007.”I was [surprised to get selected].” he admitted. “But I’ve got the call-up, I’m here and hopefully I will play. I’ve got fresh legs. I feel strong and confident in my bowling so hopefully it goes well and we’ll see what happens from there.”

James Anderson reduced Australia to their worst start to a Test innings in 60 years and despite a stirring fightback from Michael Hussey, England remained well on top after the opening day in Adelaide

James Anderson reduced Australia to their worst start to a Test innings in 60 years and despite a stirring fightback from Michael Hussey, England remained well on top after the opening day in Adelaide. Few venues in the world are kinder to batsmen than Adelaide Oval, and after winning the toss on a 34-degree day, for Australia to be dismissed for 245 before stumps was not only sub-par, it was potentially ruinous.Anderson and Graeme Swann bowled superbly on the flat surface at a ground that holds four-year-old nightmares for some of the England players. It was the Australians who were suffering from frightening visions early on this occasion, although it could have been even worse for Ricky Ponting’s men after they were 3 for 2 in the third over.Hussey’s second counterattacking innings of the series dragged the hosts back to a vague level of respectability, but they wanted his 93 to be another big century. There was also a late half-century from Brad Haddin but an England attack led by Anderson, who thoroughly deserved his 4 for 51, ensured Australia’s worst first-innings total at Adelaide Oval since 1992-93. England faced an over before stumps, and the openers enjoyed a more sedate start than had Australia.The chaos began with the fourth delivery of the Test, which ran away to square leg off Shane Watson’s pad. There was a leg bye on offer but Watson later admitted his call was too quiet for his partner Simon Katich, who hesitated, then took off and was denied the chance to face even one delivery when he was caught short by Jonathan Trott’s brilliant throw.If a diamond duck in the first over was an embarrassing start for Australia, it was only to get worse. Ponting, who looked so fluent in his second-innings half-century at the Gabba, was greeted first ball by a great ball from Anderson, who angled it in and then moved it away from Ponting, whose thick edge was snapped up by Swann low to his left at second slip.The match was five balls old, Australia were 2 for 0, and the spectators who hadn’t yet made it through security at the Adelaide Oval had missed one of the most memorable starts to an Ashes Test. It quickly got even better for England in Anderson’s next over, when he sent down a ripsnorter to get rid of Michael Clarke for 2.Clarke looked horribly out of sorts in Brisbane, and in truth he was unlucky to even get an edge to Anderson on this occasion, as the ball hooped in towards him and then jagged away. Clarke reached forward, trying to smother the movement with a positive drive, and his thick edge was taken at second slip by Swann. Clarke has been working with Ponting in the nets during the week, but emulating his dismissal was not the idea.It was a wonderful start from Anderson, who bowled well in at the Gabba without luck, and not since an Ashes Test in Brisbane in 1950 had Australia scored so few runs for the loss of their first three wickets. Marcus North and Haddin, who had been settling in for a quiet morning, were frantically searching for bats and pads to prepare for a potentially early entry.Smart Stats

Michael Hussey came into bat with Australia’s score at 2 for 3. This was the third worst score for Australia at the fall of the third wicket

Simon Katich was run out without facing a ball. This was the 24th such occurrence in Tests and the first such dismissal for an Australian batsman since Wayne Philips’ run out against West Indies in 1984.

The 245 is Australia’s lowest first innings total at Adelaide since their 213 against West Indies in 1993.

Ricky Ponting’s first ball duck was his fifth in Tests. Four of them have come in the last two years.

It was only the third time that Hussey fell in the nineties. The previous occasion came against India at Nagpur in 2008.

James Anderson has 194 wickets at an average of 31.62. However in 2010, he has picked up 46 wickets at an average of just over 21.

Fortunately for them, Hussey and Watson launched a counterattack. There were a few more nervy moments for Australia – Watson survived an lbw review on 7 and Anderson put down a tough return chance when Hussey had 3 – but the pair got through until lunch unscathed.However, just as he had in the first session, Anderson struck early in the second, with another good outswinger that drew Watson (51) in to a drive that was taken at gully by Kevin Pietersen. While Hussey kept building at the other end, looking as assured as he did during his 195 last week, Marcus North poked and prodded his way to 26, before a lapse in judgment gave Steven Finn his first wicket.North tried to open the face and guide Finn past the cordon, only to feather a catch through to Matt Prior. It ended a 60-run stand that was useful, but on a flat pitch this was North’s best chance to silence the critics who point to his poor results in sticky situations for Australia. Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus, who were dropped for this Test, know the selectors are no longer willing to carry passengers and North deserves to be nervous.All the while, Hussey kept finding the gaps, although England’s bowlers didn’t feed his pull as they had in Brisbane, which was a wise move given the tiny square boundaries in Adelaide. Before the first Test, Hussey’s brother David tipped him to be the leading scorer in the series and although not many fans had the same faith, he has been unquestionably Australia’s best batsman so far.But Swann denied Hussey a second century of the series with a magnificent piece of bowling, curving the ball in from around the wicket to entice a cover drive. The ball spun further than Hussey expected, and his edge was snapped up at first slip by Paul Collingwood. Swann was on a hat-trick when he had Ryan Harris lbw first ball; Harris asked for a review, confident he had edged the ball, but Hot Spot was not definitive.Swann couldn’t match Peter Siddle’s opening-day hat-trick at the Gabba, but his 2 for 70 was a good reward on a day when he kept one end tight. Neither Finn nor Stuart Broad were at their best, but both claimed a wicket; Broad’s dismissal of Haddin, caught at fine-leg for an entertaining 56 ended Australia’s innings.It denied Anderson the chance for a five-wicket haul, which he deserved, but none of the England players would worry about such trifles. They know that with four days to play, on a good surface, the match is theirs for the taking.

Kevin Pietersen gave England every chance of victory in Adelaide with his career-best 227, but it’s his bowling that might have made the biggest difference

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsMichael Clarke fought hard for 80 but his dismissal on the last ball of the day left Australia in some trouble•AFPKevin Pietersen gave England every chance of victory in Adelaide with his career-best 227, but it’s his bowling that might have made the biggest difference. Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey gave Australia a fighting chance of escaping with a draw to head to the third Test in Perth still 0-0, but the loss of Clarke to the last delivery on the fourth day gave England a major boost amid the gloomy conditions.Clarke had 80, and was threatening to stand between England and victory, until he inside-edged onto his pad and the ball looped over the shoulder of the short leg Alastair Cook, who took a good catch. Adding to the late drama, the umpire Tony Hill called the appeal not out, but England asked for a review and Clarke was found guilty of putting bat on ball, to hand Pietersen his first Test wicket since 2008.It was exactly what Australia didn’t need, after Clarke and Hussey put together a promising 104-run partnership. Instead of two established men walking out in the morning, the under-pressure Marcus North will join Hussey, who was on 44, with the new ball due at the end of the over Pietersen will complete with four more deliveries. And if that wasn’t pressure enough for North, there is a chance of morning showers, which could mean cloud cover and swing.Australia will be hoping the showers turn into heavier rain, and there is the chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. The battle will be ensuring they last that long, with only Brad Haddin and a long tail to follow Hussey and North, who will resume with Australia still 137 runs behind, at 4 for 238, searching for a draw that would feel like a win.It remains to be seen whether Andrew Strauss will rue his decision to bat into the fourth morning, despite already holding a 300-plus lead. He might have been questioning that call while Hussey and Clarke were together, batting solidly either side of a heavy downpour late in the afternoon. Clarke seemed to have shaken off his poor touch and his bad back, looking comfortable against pace and spin.And it wasn’t easy against Graeme Swann, who created the most problems for Australia. He removed Simon Katich and claimed the big wicket of Ricky Ponting, before Steven Finn chipped in by dismissing Shane Watson for another solid half-century that promised to be more. Swann was finding sharp spin from the rough and his drift and flight caused a few headaches for the Australian batsmen.Several times, inside edges didn’t quite fly to hand for the cluster of fielders surrounding the bat, and Clarke was given out caught at slip on 67 only to have the decision reversed on review; the ball had spun past his bat and lobbed up off his pad. Generally, though, Clarke handled Swann well, using his feet to smother the spin and driving hard through gaps on both sides of the wicket.Importantly, all the Australian batsmen played positively, refusing to simply bat for time and allow England to dictate the flow. Clarke struck 11 boundaries and Hussey, who continued his excellent series, slammed Swann over midwicket for six late in the day, ensuring that any bad balls were put away, as they would be in happier circumstances.The only batsman who really struggled was Ponting, who was mesmerised by Swann and couldn’t get off the mark until his 13th delivery. Despite punishing Swann with a vicious cut for four and a powerful sweep to the boundary, Ponting was eliminated by Swann on 9 when he played for the offspinner and edged a straighter ball low to Paul Collingwood at first slip.Swann had already ended the 84-run opening partnership when Katich tried to defend and was caught behind off a thin edge for 43. Katich had hobbled his way through the innings with an Achilles tendon injury that severely hampered his running between wickets, and although his hard work was valuable, there is every chance the Australians will need to look for another opener for the third Test in Perth if his problem persists.The man who threatened to be Australia’s anchor was Watson, who batted confidently with his usual aggression and well-timed drives, but once again he failed to convert a strong start. Watson has passed fifty on 15 occasions in Test cricket but only twice have those half-centuries turned into hundreds, and if ever Australia needed triple figures from him, it was this time.It was the patience of Finn, who peppered away consistently just outside off stump, that did for Watson when he edged to first slip for 57. The inability of Australia’s batsmen to capitalise on their starts was all the more frustrating for them given the monstrous scores racked up by England’s batsmen, led by Pietersen with his double-century.Pietersen added 14 to his overnight score but it was enough to beat his previous Test best of 226, which he made against West Indies at Headingley in 2007. He eventually fell caught by Katich at slip, when he misjudged a slog sweep, and it was a consolation wicket for Xavier Doherty, who finished with 1 for 158 and looked nowhere near as threatening as Swann.England’s batsmen scored their runs briskly after Strauss decided against declaring overnight, and in nine overs they pushed the total up by 69 before Strauss called a halt to the innings. Ian Bell had moved on to an unbeaten 68 and Matt Prior was on 27, which guided England to 5 for 620 – their highest Test innings total in 20 years and their fifth-best of all time against Australia.The visitors would be sorely disappointed if that effort doesn’t turn into a win. They’ll want a lift from James Anderson, who didn’t bowl at his best, while a stomach strain could keep Stuart Broad from playing much of a part on the final day. England can only hope the weather doesn’t play any role either.

Salman Butt, one of the three Pakistan players suspended by the ICC following the spot-fixing expose, has appealed against the provisional decision.An ICC spokesperson confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that the appeal was filed on Tuesday evening. The two other players alleged to be involved in bowling deliberate, pre-planned no-balls during Pakistan’s fourth Test at Lord’s against England , fast bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, have not yet filed their appeals.The three players were served notices on September 2 after the ICC felt they had “a case to answer” and they initially had two weeks to respond. The players sent in replies – but not formal appeals – on September 14 asking for extra time in filing their appeals. Their request was granted and the new deadline was set for October 15.”Late yesterday Salman Butt through his attorney filed his appeal against provisional suspension,” confirmed Haroon Lorgat, ICC’s chief executive. “In fact Michael Beloff will consider it and we are in the process of sending it. We will try to be as expeditious and we will try to do it best as quickly as possible. The other two players have filed no appeals.”As per the ICC’s anti-corruption code of conduct for provisional suspensions, a provisional hearing will now take place where “it shall be the burden of the ACSU’s general manager to establish: (a) that there is a strong, arguable case against the player on the charge(s) that have been made against him; and (b) that, in such circumstances, the integrity of the sport could be seriously undermined if a provisional suspension was not imposed against him.”In other words, the provisional hearing will only focus on the matter of the suspensions of the player and whether or not they should remain until a full hearing. That, according to the code, must be heard within three months of the provisional suspensions being imposed on the players.

A big Rangers transfer claim has been made on Allan McGregor, regarding his future at Ibrox beyond the summer…

What’s the talk?

According to Jordan Campbell of The Athletic, the Gers veteran will be leaving Glasgow upon the expiry of his current contract at the end of the season.

He is poised to leave the club alongside fellow first-team players Connor Goldson and Steven Davis, whose deals run out at the same time.

Buzzing

Fans will surely be buzzing with this news as recent matches have suggested that time is indeed up for McGregor as the number one. Whilst he has been a fine servant for the club over the years and may have the respect of the supporters, he cannot continue playing forever.

He turned 40 last month and is in the final throes of his career, which has shown on the pitch with some of his performances this season.

The shot-stopper has made one error directly leading to a shot and three errors directly leading to goals in the Premiership and this particular statistic does not even factor in every shot that he should be saving but fails to.

In the recent 3-3 draw with Ross County, McGregor fumbled two simple pieces of shot-stopping and cross collecting to allow the opposition to score twice – one of which came in the 96th minute to surrender the three points. He was then slow to get down to both of Reo Hatate’s goals in the Old Firm match, although he did also make some key saves down his throat to keep the score down.

Gio van Bronckhorst may also want to bring in a goalkeeper with better distribution. He has completed just 34% of his chipped passes this season and a meagre 21% in the opposition half. This suggests that his long passing leaves plenty to be desired and the Dutch head coach should look to bring in a goalkeeper with the ability to play out from the back with a higher success rate.

This is another reason why fans will be delighted that he is calling time on his spell at Ibrox. Watching his attempted passes out to the full-backs sail out of play at times can be frustrating for the supporters and they will surely be excited to see a new number one in town next season.
