Rising Pune Supergiants offspinner R Ashwin has said that his team-mate M Ashwin, a legspinner, has the tools to become a good bowler, and praised him for turning the ball in the Twenty20 format.”He’s got all the tools, the most important thing for a spinner in the modern era is to spin the ball. Most of the spinners don’t do it in this era and I don’t blame them for it because of the format they play in,” R Ashwin told in an interview along with M Ashwin. “I’m sure getting hit in this format, getting hit in this in tournament, getting his wickets, the whole learning curve is going to be important for him so I feel it’s a great platform for him.”This is not M Ashwin’s first IPL experience; the 25-year-old was a net bowler with Chennai Super Kings last year. R Ashwin, who was a part of Super Kings from 2008 till their suspension in 2015, was impressed with M Ashwin even then and remembered how his googly troubled the Super Kings batsmen.”At CSK he bowled to all batsmen and all of them really struggled against him,” R Ashwin said. “They couldn’t pick his googly and couldn’t hit him out for a single six, so those are all positives to me. In fact we wanted to pick him last year itself but somewhere or the other they left him out.”When asked about his sharp googly, M Ashwin said it was something he had not worked on much. “It comes naturally to me because I am an open-chested bowler and it’s something I’ve had since childhood. I’ve never really worked on it.” He also said that having a more experienced bowler like R Ashwin in the side helped him understand how to bowl on different pitches.M Ashwin made his first-class debut for Tamil Nadu in 2012, and was handed his cap by R Ashwin. The legspinner did not get to bowl on debut in the rain-marred match, and was soon dropped.”He had his first bowl for Tamil Nadu in the next game [after his debut] and I don’t think he went very well, after which he was dropped,” R Ashwin said of M Ashwin. “Different people perceive bowlers differently and it’s very difficult to spot bowlers, but he looked like someone who has good revs. He spins the ball a mile – both inwards and outwards – that is a trait that is inborn and you have to look for such traits.”Speaking about his own role at a new franchise, R Ashwin said that he still did not know what exactly his role was. In 11 T20s since the Asia Cup, R Ashwin has bowled his full quota of overs only five times, and he played all those matches under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. In the five IPL matches this season, R Ashwin has bowled four overs in a match three times.”The role I’m playing at Supergiants is pretty different and it’s pretty unique. We’re still gelling into the team and I’m still finding my own feet in this team because I don’t know what role I’m exactly playing so I’m just feeling into it. It’s common when a franchise starts off new,” he said. “I have gone out bowling my legspin a lot, I thought I should be using it this IPL. I don’t know…the time might come where I will use it. I keep seeing him [M Ashwin] and the way he loads and try and ask him a few questions.”Apart from sharing their names and first-class and IPL dressing rooms, R Ashwin revealed he and M Ashwin, who is four years younger, had studied at the same college – Sri Sivasubramaniya Nadar College of Engineering in Chennai – though their time there did not overlap.

Stuart Broad has predicted that Mark Footitt, England’s surprise pick for the pre-Ashes camp, will be a serious contender for the Investec Ashes against Australia and suggested that when he gets to Spain he will at least be spared some of the boot camp rigours of previous vintage.To prepare for previous Ashes series, Andy Flower, the former team director, preferred outward bound style experiences designed to build unity through shared hardship or visits to battle fields and concentration camps intended to bring a sense of perspective to young minds.The trip arranged in 2010-11 was organised by the ECB’s security adviser, Reg Dickason, and came under the auspices of the Australian police force. James Anderson and Chris Tremlett, two England fast bowlers, suffered rib injuries in boxing matches. Minor misdemeanours were punished by hundreds of press-ups.Graeme Swann wrote in his autobiography that he hated every minute of it and joked: “I would gladly be England cricket’s first conscientious objector.”Broad expects England’s introduction to Trevor Bayliss to be more cricket orientated. “I think it’s going to be a planning trip, the guys getting together and talking about how we want to play our cricket, how we want to beat Australia, the coach having his ideas.”I’m sure there’ll be some bowling over there, some fitness, fielding etc. It’s only a three-day camp, so we haven’t got time for everything but I don’t think we’ll be in tents and at 3am holding bricks above our heads.”Footitt, Derbyshire’s left-arm pace bowler, a rare commodity in English cricket unlike their rivals Australia, took the most wickets overall in domestic cricket in 2014.Stuart Broad played against Mark Footitt when the two were coming through age-group cricket•Getty Images

“Footitt’s had a fantastic year and a half: left-armer, slightly different, swings it,” Broad said. “He’s consistently put his name in the hat really. He trained with us at Lord’s before the first Test of the summer and was impressive in the nets.”We’ve got 14-15 guys who could potentially play in the Investec Ashes and it’s important everyone is on fire in knowing the way the team want to play, knowing the plans and knowing the new coach as well.”I think he’s been included because he’s taken a load of wickets in county cricket. I think it’s exciting, it shows that if you perform in county cricket you do get recognition. He’s taken a lot of Division Two wickets at a really good average and he’ll want to test himself at the top level.”I’ve played a lot against Footy, we were the same age group growing up and he’s done incredibly well since he’s gone to Derbyshire. He’ll be excited to hopefully get an opportunity but of course he will be bowling at the guys as a left-arm option. There are not that many left-armers in England so it will be great to see what he can do.”

Peter Handscomb reached his second century of the Sheffield Shield season late on the third day in Adelaide, where Victoria built a strong first-innings lead on a good batting surface

ScorecardPeter Handscomb has enjoyed his start to the Sheffield Shield season (file photo)•Getty ImagesPeter Handscomb reached his second century of the Sheffield Shield season late on the third day in Adelaide, where Victoria built a strong first-innings lead on a good batting surface. Victoria started the morning at 1 for 201 and by stumps they were 5 for 521, with Handscomb on 100 and Daniel Christian on 64, and their advantage over South Australia was 90 runs.Handscomb brought up his hundred in the final over of the day off Gary Putland and it continued a strong start to the summer for him – his Shield scores this season have been 108 not out, 96, 10 and now 100 not out. Christian will begin the fourth day hoping to become the third centurion in Victoria’s innings, after opener Chris Rogers began with 107.Rogers added only three to his overnight score before he was caught off the bowling of Joe Mennie, but his century should have erased any doubts over his place in the Test side ahead of the series against India. Mennie followed in his next over by having Cameron White caught and bowled for 8, but South Australia managed only two more wickets for the rest of the day.By stumps, six Victorians had scored made half-centuries or better, and Marcus Stoinis (90) and David Hussey (81) both missed out on the chance to turn theirs into hundreds. Stoinis fell to Putland and Hussey was caught behind off Mennie, who finished with 3 for 62, but at the close of play the Handscomb-Christian partnership was worth 139 and much work remained for the Redbacks.

Australia have made a dramatic move in their attempts to improve their spin credentials in Asian conditions, hiring Muttiah Muralitharan as a coaching consultant for this year’s Test series against Pakistan in the UAE. And while Muralitharan has no intention of turning Nathan Lyon into a master of the doosra, he is already helping Lyon add a carrom ball to his arsenal.The two men have been working together in Sri Lanka this week and Muralitharan said he was confident Lyon would be ready to deliver the carrom ball to Pakistan’s batsmen in the Test series in October. But the appointment of Muralitharan for the short-term role is not only about helping Lyon but also equipping Australia’s batsmen to face Saeed Ajmal and the Pakistan spinners.Australia’s most recent Test tour in Asia was their disastrous campaign in India early last year, when they lost 4-0 and struggled to handle to R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in turning conditions. The penetration of their own spinners was also a weakness throughout the tour, although it was not helped by Lyon being dropped mid-series and replaced by Glenn Maxwell and Xavier Doherty.Lyon returned for the final Test in Delhi and picked up nine wickets for the match, and since then has moved on to have 112 victims at 32.99 from his 33 Test appearances. Muralitharan said Lyon was clearly Australia’s best spin option and he expected him to be able to deliver the occasional carrom ball in the UAE this year before mastering it in years to come.”In a country like Australia, you don’t need many spinners, you need to get the right one,” Muralitharan said. “I think Nathan Lyon is the answer, for any format. He spins the ball, he is confident, he has done well and taken more than 100 wickets in Test cricket. Australia has to persevere with him and then fill the backups.”The doosra is very difficult to teach. We are trying something else, like a carrom ball … He is a finger-spinner, I am a wrist-spinner. For a wrist-spinner to change the wrist position is easy. But for a finger-spinner to change the wrist position to bowl the doosra is harder. So it would be difficult.”He’s already starting to bowl the carrom ball. So that is the easiest way for the finger-spinners to learn … I think he’ll be ready. He will bowl a few balls in the UAE and he will master it in years to come.”Muralitharan has been working not only with Lyon but also several of Australia’s emerging spinners in Sri Lanka this week, including James Muirhead and Clive Rose. But his role in the UAE will also include bowling to Australia’s batsmen in the nets in an attempt to get them accustomed to the style of Ajmal, who is the highest-ranked spinner on the ICC’s bowling rankings and will enjoy the conditions greatly.”I’m not a good batsman so I can’t give many tips to batsmen, but the thing I can do is that I’m still good enough to bowl to the batsmen,” Muralitharan said. “Myself and Ajmal are a little bit similar. We are bowling doosras and offspin, so they might learn from batting in the nets, rather than me trying to teach them. I can’t teach batting.”Muralitharan said he was confident he would have the support of the vast majority of Australian cricket fans despite his history with the country, which was dominated by his being no-balled for throwing in the 1995 Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. His relationship with Australia has improved significantly and he was one of the most popular overseas players in the BBL during his time with the Melbourne Renegades.His appointment has continued the push by coach Darren Lehmann to have specialists assist the team at strategic times, as when Shane Warne provided spin advice in South Africa this year.”Muttiah Muralitharan is a true great of the game and his involvement with the Australian team will bring enormous benefits,” Lehmann said. “He really understands the conditions we’ll face and will be able to impart a great amount of knowledge. Not only will he help guide our spinners during that tour, but he will also work with our batsmen to help them prepare to play Pakistan’s dangerous spin bowlers.”As we’ve shown in recent times we’ll bring in dedicated skill-specific coaching consultants to our support staff as and when we see fit. That means having more regular support from technical experts to help work on specific areas of performance.”Most recently we had Shane Warne join us in South Africa, and throughout the Australian summer we had a range of former Australian players around the team during the Test series to help impart specialist knowledge. This time around we are fortunate enough to have Muttiah work with us.”

Lou Vincent, the former New Zealand batsman, has admitted to the tribunal investigating corruption in the Bangladesh Premier League that he was approached by an illegal bookmaker during the 2013 season. While a member of the tribunal said Vincent had pleaded guilty to not reporting the approach, the batsman said his mistake had ended there and he had rejected the offer.”I can confirm that I admitted a breach in January 2014 of the ICC code in failing to report an approach from a bookmaker whilst playing in the Bangladesh T20 league in January 2013,” Vincent said in a statement. “I confirm I rejected this approach at the time. There is no allegation or suggestion anything untoward occurred beyond the approach itself. I also express I have no involvement in any of the matches, or matters, involving the other parties,which were the subject of recent hearings and investigation in Bangladesh.”Vincent played eight matches for Khulna Royal Bengals in the 2013 BPL season.One of the three members on the BPL tribunal, Shakil Kasem, told AFP that Vincent had pleaded guilty to not reporting an illegal approach. He also said Bangladesh batsman Mohammad Ashraful, who had publicly admitted his involvement in corruption, and another unnamed international cricketer had also pleaded guilty.”We’re going to review their guilty pleas, deliberate on that and come up with sanctions within two weeks,” Kasem said.On February 26, the BPL tribunal released its findings and found only one owner of Dhaka Gladiators guilty of “being party to an effort to fix” a match in the league. Six others were found not guilty, but both the ICC and Bangladesh Cricket Board said they were “disappointed” by the outcome and may yet consider an appeal.Vincent’s involvement in an ACSU investigation had come to light in December 2013 when the reported that three former New Zealand cricketers were under scrutiny.

Venugopal Rao’s dramatic resurgence continued as he made his third century of the season to put Gujarat in a strong position against Odisha in Ahmedabad. Resuming on 68, Rao powered on to a 277-ball 177, with 22 fours and two sixes, before his dismissal prompted Gujarat to declare at 479 for 8.Odisha began well in pursuit, with Girjia Rout putting on 111 with Natraj Behera for the first wicket before falling lbw to Jasprit Bumrah off the last ball of the day. Natraj, batting on 64 at stumps, remained on course for a fourth century in as many innings.
ScorecardWith their highest run-getter, Faiz Fazal, batting on 41, Vidarbha remained in the hunt to take the lead against Jharkhand at Keenan Stadium. Vidarbha were 101 for 1 at stumps, still trailing by 231.In the morning, offspinner Akshay Wakhare completed a five-wicket haul as Jharkhand took 51.2 overs to crawl from their overnight score of 233 for 5 to 332 all out. After Wakhare dismissed Shahbaz Nadeem early in the day for 45, the tail provided stodgy support to Kumar Deobrat. Between them, Jharkhand’s last four scored 26 off 171 balls. Deobrat moved to a relatively breakneck 69 off 159, with seven fours and two sixes, before he was out to left-arm spinner Sumit Ruikar.Read the full report of Karnataka v Mumbai here: Lad revives Mumbai with half-century.Read the full report of the Delhi v Punjab here: Jiwanjot turns it around for Punjab.

A má fase atravessada pelo Botafogo não é novidade para ninguém, tanto que o Juventude, na última quinta-feira, explorou o nervosismo e a pressão da torcida para levar um empate a Caxias do Sul. Agora, mais precisamente a partir das 19h15 (de Brasília) desta quinta-feira, no Alfredo Jaconi, o Alvinegro visita os gaúchos com a responsabilidade de expulsar o fantasma de 1999.

Na ocasião, o Juventude venceu o Botafogo pela ida da final do mesmo torneio por 2 a 1, o que, caso se repita neste dia 11, eliminaria os cariocas. Para Zé Ricardo, que admitiu a forte pressão após a eliminação precoce no Carioca, é momento de “seguir asconvicções” do trabalho e evoluir para avançar.

– Temos que seguir as nossas convicções, não tem outro jeito. Temos uma comissão, trocamos muitas ideias, treinamos para caramba e buscamos sempre a melhor solução. A eliminação precoce no estadual trouxe uma pressão grande para todos nós – disse o comandante, completando:

– O que o torcedor pode esperar é uma equipe sempre vibrante, guerreira. Precisamos melhorar sim, mas temos condições de avançar – falou Zé Ricardo, em entrevista coletiva logo depois do 1 a 1, na ida.

A final de 1999 ainda causa arrepios ao botafoguense que acompanhava a equipe então treinada porGílson Nunes. O fato é que, atualmente, o Botafogo está longe de apresentar um futebol de finalista de Copa do Brasil. Para chegar perto disso, será fundamental voltar ao Rio de Janeiro não só com a vaga, mas com a convicção de uma evolução quanto a rendimento, pois a enorme cobrança da torcida tem sido justificada, sobretudo em cima de Zé.
