Virender Sehwag saw the Test batsman in David Warner before he realised it himself

Daniel Brettig in Brisbane29-Nov-2011

Virender Sehwag saw the Test batsman in David Warner before he realised it himself. Drawn towards a Twenty20 career before his methods matured, Warner was in Delhi when Sehwag helpfully suggested the man synonymous with cricket’s shortest form would make a better player in its longest.The conversation startled Warner, at that stage still yet to receive a baggy blue cap for New South Wales. But Sehwag was prescient, for little more than two years later, Warner is about to open the batting for Australia in a Test match against New Zealand. It has helped that others, Greg Chappell among them, also saw the potential for far more than 20 overs’ racy batting.”Two years ago when I went to Dehli, Sehwag watched me a couple of times and said to me, ‘You’ll be a better Test cricketer than what you will be a Twenty20 player’,” Warner recalled. “I basically looked at him and said, ‘mate, I haven’t even played a first-class game yet’. But he said, ‘All the fielders are around the bat, if the ball is there in your zone you’re still going to hit it. You’re going to have ample opportunity to score runs. You’ve always got to respect the good ball, but you’ve always got to punish the ball you always punish’.”The conversation with Sehwag may have been the start of Warner’s drive towards batsmanship worthy of a Test match, but it was also helped along by Chappell. On the Australia A tour of Zimbabwe, Cricket Australia’s national talent manager told Warner his brief sessions in the nets were not going to prepare him for lengthier innings, and encouraged a more longwinded approach. It worked.”In Zimbabwe he sat down with me and said ‘what are you going to do when you bat today’. I said I’d bat for the 20 minutes we normally get and try to get myself in,” Warner said. “He said ‘if you’re going to get yourself in, how are you going to play your shots then, you’ll just work on getting yourself in and that’s it’. I said we don’t really have that much time, and he replied ‘you’ve got as much time as you want, you’re a professional cricketer, we’ve got net bowlers here’, so I batted for two hours, three hours and it all made sense to me.”If you’re going to score hundreds you’ve got to put time in the nets. Troy Cooley [the tour coach] would say to me a few times ‘you’ve got to get out [of the net] then go back in’, so I did that a few times, prepared like it was lunchtime or a bit of a break for 30-40 minutes, then went back in for another hour or two. I was always conscious of not getting out. In a couple of those sessions I only got out once, and that was to a loose shot from one of the spinners. I really knuckled down there.”On that same tour Warner coshed 211 against the Zimbabweans, batting for eight hours to do it. Like a young adult developing a taste for vegetables after a youth spent avoiding them, he found that first-class runs could feel more rewarding, and that the compressed nature of T20 had made him yearn for the wide open batting expanses of a match played over four or five days. Lately, Warner’s newfound judgment has been noticeable in his T20 innings too, resulting in a consistency of scores he never managed in 2008-09, the summer that had Warner thrust into the national team.”I enjoy it, I wouldn’t actually say it’s easier than Twenty20 cricket or one-day cricket but you’ve got so much time. You’re not rushed at all. You don’t have to score runs,” Warner said. “The wide ones you usually go after in one-day or Twenty20 cricket and they’re the chances that you give, you’re getting yourself out. In four-day cricket, you shouldn’t be getting yourself out at all like that.”A good ball is going to get you out, but a lazy shot you shouldn’t get out like that, you should be kicking yourself. That’s one thing I pride myself on, if I’m getting out I’m not playing a loose shot. It tends to happen a bit with spinners, you think ‘oh I can get some easy runs here’ but you’ve got to have your footwork switched on and be able to play back or forward and not get carried away.”I’ve adapted my game in four-day cricket to be as technical as I can and make sure my defence is as good as can be. That’s the most important thing in four-day cricket, if your defence is good, the runs will come. As people have probably noticed in my one-day and T20 stuff, I’ve started to do that as well, I get myself in, my first 50 is coming off probably 40 balls, instead of 21 or 22 and that’s a reason why I’ve been so consistent in my last few innings, because I’m not going after every ball straight away.”Warner’s difficulty in obtaining a New South Wales cap made him hungry for runs, but also forced him to find the right way to get them. “When I got my baggy blue I was very happy and proud,” Warner said. “It is amazing how in 18 months how everything can turn around, whether it is playing one-dayers or Twenty20 cricket for Australia, how close you can be to the baggy green.”

West Indies coach Ottis Gibson is banking on his pace bowlers to challenge India’s strong batting line-up during the three-Test series starting at Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday

ESPNcricinfo staff04-Nov-2011West Indies coach Ottis Gibson is banking on his pace bowlers to challenge India’s strong batting line-up during the three-Test series starting at Feroz Shah Kotla on Sunday. West Indies arrived in the country following a short tour of Bangladesh, where they won the Test series 1-0.Gibson said the team is high on confidence after that win and are suitably warmed-up to subcontinental conditions.”Over the last six to 12 months our fast bowlers, Ravi Rampaul, Fidel Edwards, Kemar Roach and Darren Sammy have done well and won us matches,” Gibson said. “We know that India obviously will be heavy on spin but we believe in the quality of our fast bowlers.”We have Fidel bowling quick at the moment and we hope we can cause some problems to the formidable Indian batting line-up. We believe that we have the quality to back ourselves. We know that the ball doesn’t swing very long. You need to have added skills and we pay a lot of attention to that. We are skilled enough to reverse it and get wickets as well.”India are playing their first Test series since their poor tour of England where they were whitewashed 4-0. The injury-ravaged team struggled against the fast bowlers, and as a result, lost their No.1 ranking in Tests. Gibson said India were still a formidable side despite their recent setback.”Against this Indian batting line-up, you probably need to play seven bowlers,” Gibson said. “We will look at that over the course of the next few days and work on our combination.”Edwards and legspinner Davendra Bishoo took five-wicket hauls in the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur, which the visitors won comfortably by 229 runs. Gibson praised Bishoo’s performance in Bangladesh and was confident he would be a threat in India as well.”Bishoo is a talented bowler and has got 32 wickets in seven games. He never hesitates to ask questions and his capacity for learning is showing. Coming to India, he understands that he can really come into his game in these conditions.Commenting on India’s bowling combination Gibson said felt that India may not feel the absence of offspinner Harbhajan Singh, who was overlooked in favour of the rising R Ashwin.”Somebody like Harbhajan has taken a lot of wickets and you might look at that (his absence) as a negative but Ashwin has been outstanding in one-day cricket. When a player makes his debut, people tend to think ‘oh he may not be ready’ but obviously the selectors believe that he is ready and that makes him very dangerous.”

Martin Crowe, the legendary New Zealand batsman, has said that he is serious about making a comeback to first-class cricket as a means of self-motivation and a tool to get fit at the age of 48

Sriram Veera19-May-2011Martin Crowe, the former New Zealand captain, has said that he is contemplating a return to first-class cricket 15 years after retiring from it. Crowe, 48, said he sees it as a means of self-motivation and a tool to get fit – and also an opportunity to score the 392 runs he needs to tally 20,000 first-class runs.He will first turn out for the Cornwall cricket club before deciding on plans to play for Auckland Central Districts.”Every now and then you find yourself drifting along. I needed to do something to stay at the top of things,” Crowe told ESPNcricinfo.” It’s a little bit of fun but it’s based on the need to get off my butt. When you get to my age, you need to do something. Physically, I am a person who needs more than going to gym. I need to fire myself up. I don’t like swimming, cycling, or lifting weights. I can’t climb, I can’t run; why not bat? It’s a serious goal to get fit but it’s a fun and light-hearted attempt to see if a 48-year old can play and at what level. Unless you try you will never know.”He then added, with a laugh, “Hey! If Ganguly can do it, anyone can do it!” Shane Warne has been amazing and as a spin bowler he can probably bowl like that for a long time to come. Gilchrist has kept himself fit. It’s human nature to feel that you are top of things.”It’s also human nature that makes some fans wary of sportspersons making comebacks at such an age. The thought of watching their once-favourite player struggling doesn’t sit too well with some fans. Some even consider such comeback attempts to be a bit sad on the part of the player but Crowe said he didn’t subscribe to that view. “No. if I had done that at the age of 37-38, then may be your concerns would be valid. If I had done it then, it would have been sad. At that stage you are trying to make a comeback to international cricket. Now, I don’t have any aspiration to play international cricket. I gave up then because of my knee. I am interested to see if a 48-year old can bat. It’s probably unlikely. It’s probably only heard of at average club level. But that’s what we are going to check out.”Crowe said he drew inspiration from Adam Parore and Mark Richardson. “Parore is about to climb Mount Everest and Mark Richardson is about to do four marathons this year. I realised I needed to something that wasn’t just about getting fit but oriented towards something I would have fun doing. My friend texted me: ‘Why don’t you try knocking off 20,000 first-class runs? You have 392 to go.’ And I thought that’s the perfect answer. Why don’t I take a bat in my hand and see what happens when summer comes around. At the same time it could be fun because here in New Zealand the batting is in a little bit of decline and it will be a good way to see where the techniques are at.”Crowe was forced to quit international cricket due to his bad knee, with few career goals still unfinished. “I’m happy with my career except for the fact that I finished on a downer, with an injury. I suppose I wanted 20 hundreds, 6000 runs, but in the end I was not physically capable of hanging on. And a lot of politics came in to it. Howarth as coach was a joke, and I played under Lee Germon, which was ridiculous,” he had once said in a 2008 interview.After retirement, Crowe underwent an operation to his knee. “By the time I was 40, I couldn’t even walk. I had a major operation called an osteotomy; it gives you 15 years of interim relief until you are old enough to have an artificial knee. I have felt good with this operation in the last 4-5 years. I have been playing regular golf and walking with no discomfort. I just feel I need to do a little bit more as I am lacking focus on something. So I have come up with this.”

“My vision is pretty good. One of the challenges is to see how the nerves hold out – when a 20-year old is bowling at you, how do you feel about it? And I am quite keen to find out what’s that like.”Martin Crowe

The last time he picked up the bat was last March, when he turned out in a charity game for the Christchurch earthquake called ‘Fill the Basin’. Crowe made six runs, which included a boundary, before falling to Stephen Fleming. “I play regular golf and I have played cricket occasionally over the years. Two years ago, I took the New Zealand team to Hong Kong sixes and I did a lot of practice. When I was in Bangalore for IPL in 2008 as coach of Royal Challengers Bangalore, I did a lot of practice before the main players turned up. I faced a lot of Sunil Joshi in the nets. I felt good, fit. I know I can still use the bat, it’s the case of whether the body holds up, and how long the foot will keep moving until everything seizes up.”Crowe said he will stop playing when he gets close to risking an injury and shared his thoughts on facing young pace bowlers. “Getting injured is going to be a high probability. When it starts getting to that stage, you stop. The quest is over. I want to see how far I can push myself. I will start with club cricket and if all goes well, then that far-fetched dream of getting 20,000 runs is earned. That’s the Everest, the goal I am giving myself. I am pretty confident that I can play nice and straight and score runs with my ability to hit the ball where I want to. My eye-sight is pretty good. One of the challenges is to see how the nerves hold out – when a 20-year old is bowling at you, how do you feel about it? And I am quite keen to find out what’s that like. As soon as I get a feeling that it’s all too hard, that’s fine’; we shall pack it up. To walk out and play competitive cricket is the goal.”Crowe will return to his spiritual cricket home at the Cornwall cricket ground in Auckland. “I started there when I was six years old. That’s where my father’s ashes are. That’s where my family was brought up in cricketing sense.”Batting against pace might excite him but what about fielding at this age, and at what position will he field? “I like the gully,” Crowe said with a laugh. Asked whether he will consider turning out for New Zealand if he succeeds at the club and first-class levels, Crowe deadpanned: “Now you are getting silly mate!”

It’s the lack of consistency of high-level competition that Peter Borren says undoes the Associates at global tournaments

Firdose Moonda in Mohali02-Mar-2011Peter Borren, the Netherlands captain, was a shattered man after his team’s 215- run defeat to the West Indies on Monday. He arrived at his post-match press conference looking exhausted, more emotionally than physically, and he offered no excuses for the batting line-up being shot out for 115 after the bowlers conceded 330.He’s had two days to let that disappointment marinate in his mind and now he has answers for why it happened. “It is very difficult coming into a competition to play Full-member teams when we haven’t for a long while,” Borren said in Mohali. “We don’t play at this level enough and we played fantastically against England and poorly against West Indies and that’s the second and third ODIs against Full members we’ve had in two years.”It’s this lack of consistency of high-level competition that Borren says undoes the Associates at global tournaments, and it would do the same to any team, minnow or not, that wasn’t continually playing some of the others. “How do you think a Full member would go if they didn’t play other full members for four years and then had to come into this World Cup?,” he asked the journalist who questioned why the Dutch had gone from a team that was competitive against England and rolled over against West Indies.The opportunities for them to compete against Full-Member countries come rarely, with Netherlands only playing against one, Bangladesh, in their last 28 ODIs before this World Cup. They have never played a series against a Full member and spend most of their team competing against Afghanistan, Kenya, Canada and Ireland. While the Full members must abide by the ICC’s Future Tours Programme, Borren says they make little effort to visit the Associates outside of that. “The same countries that say we shouldn’t be at World Cups are the same ones that don’t play us between World Cups and that’s difficult.”Peter Borren has called for more games for Associate nations against the Full-member teams•Associated PressMajor tournaments present them with the chance to play more than one Full Member in a space of a few weeks and even though upsets are only occasional, Borren thinks the experience comes from simply being a part of the event. “I think we learn a lot,” he said. “Some people say we don’t learn much, but I disagree. We struggle to learn from playing a lot of games against the same teams. We need to play at higher levels at times to learn a bit more.”That’s why, according to Borren, despite knowing that they may be in for a pounding, the Associate teams look forward to testing themselves against Full Members and judging whether or not they have improved. “It’s exciting to play against the world’s best players. It’s a real big challenge and something to look forward to.”Results have become almost secondary to the Associate cause, especially as the tournament draws on and they’ve already registered a few losses. It’s the small milestones, like batting out a full 50 overs, scoring a few more runs than the last time, conceding fewer boundaries and taking the tough catches, that start to matter. Borren calls it, “playing to our own standard,” and he feels Netherlands “haven’t reached or even come close to that” in their first two games.Their bowling has been their biggest downfall. “We lost [against England] because we didn’t bowl the right areas and we didn’t do again against West Indies. I was not happy after the England game because I thought we could have bowled in better areas.” Most of the team practices on artificial turf at home but that’s not an excuse for Borren who wants a better showing from the bowlers.Borren also wants more from all of his batsmen, and not just ten Doeschate. Although he called the performance against England “close to what we can do with the bat,” he still thinks there is room for improvement. That innings was largely the work of ten Doeschate and Borren wants to see the rest of the batsmen “spending time at the crease and building partnerships.”The Dutch have had just three days to strategise about how they are going to improve almost all elements of their game. It may too little time to realistically think all the changes will be possible, but for Borren, it’s been just enough time to be hungry enough to want to play for pride. “After what was a disappointing performance we can put it right tomorrow.”

An update has emerged regarding Newcastle United and their pursuit of Brentford attacker Ivan Toney.

What’s the talk?

Transfer insider Dean Jones has explained that the Magpies are keen on the centre-forward ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.

Football Insider recently reported that the Bees will be looking for a fee in the region of £30m for the striker, and Jones has urged caution over the finances involved.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “They’re interested in him. But they’ve got to be aware of financial fair play, and there is better value to be had out there than that deal. So, they are interested in him, but they’re also going to have to tread carefully.”

Toney can get St James’ Park rocking

If the club can work out the financial implications of a deal, with Jones concerned about the finances which could be involved, then Newcastle can get St James’ Park rocking with a swoop for Toney.

The forward – who Peterborough chief Barry Fry once dubbed “tremendous” – has proven himself in the Premier League this season and would be a terrific signing for the Toon, four years after leaving Tyneside.

In the top flight this term, the 26-year-old has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in 28 starts for Brentford. He has averaged a sublime SofaScore rating of 7.33 and raked in the applause for his performances since joining the west London club.

Bees manager Thomas Frank has previously showered the goal machine with praise, saying: “Ivan is very intelligent, because he’s reflecting, and he deserves a lot of praise himself for also coming into a well-run club and listening to all the small bits and adding extra layers to his development and performance.

“If you want to be a top player you need to work hard, constantly reflect and want to learn and then of course you need to have that confidence that he’s got so naturally. He’s coming across so fantastically: he’s humble, calm, but with a mindset of a lion.”

These quotes from the Brentford head coach suggest that Toney has the perfect mentality to continually improve as a player. At the age of 26, he still has plenty of room left to develop even further, and Newcastle would be signing a gem who can make an immediate impact in the team with his goals whilst also investing in an asset which can increase in value over time.

Therefore, St James’ Park would be rocking if the Magpies can get a deal over the line for him because of his quality in the short-term and what he could achieve in the future. That said, PIF will need to adhere to Jones’ warning and ensure that they are able to manage the finances to afford this move.

Mark Sorell has become the second state coach in a week to step down after being told his contract with South Australia would not be extended at the end of the season

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Dec-2010Mark Sorell has become the second state coach in a week to step down after being told his contract with South Australia would not be extended at the end of the season. The move comes as Darren Lehmann, the former Redbacks captain, has agreed to link with Queensland for the Big Bash after Trevor Barsby’s sudden exit last Wednesday.The flurry of in-season movement is extremely unusual in Australia and while Barsby was the victim of player power, Sorell’s time ran out to lift the perennially underperforming South Australia. The SACA board decided on Monday night that Sorell’s fourth season in charge would be his last.Jamie Cox, South Australia’s director of cricket, told Sorell, 45, the news on Tuesday morning. “He has consequently stepped down as coach of the Redbacks, effective immediately,” Cox said. Jeff Vaughan, the assistant, will take over for South Australia’s one-day and Sheffield Shield games against Victoria this week.”I would like to make it very clear that this outcome was initiated by management and the board and not by the playing group,” Cox said. “The players have, however, been consulted and understand the reasons for the decision.”In Queensland, Lehmann will start coaching the Twenty20 side next week to prepare for its opening match against Victoria on January 2. Lehmann, who looks after the Deccan Chargers in the IPL, steps in at a difficult time for the Bulls after Barsby’s departure.Graham Dixon, Queensland’s chief executive, said Lehmann would provide the side with an experienced Twenty20 hand. “Darren’s earned a reputation as an innovative coach in the IPL and with his extensive international playing and coaching experience, we are confident he will further assist the development of our promising young squad,” Dixon said. Justin Sternes will look after the Bulls in the Shield and one-day competitions for the rest of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to be without new winter signing Rodrigo Bentancur today…

What’s the latest?

That’s according to the Evening Standard’s Dan Kilpatrick, who revealed that a work permit for the Uruguay international isn’t likely to arrive in time for the 24-year-old to feature against Brighton and Hove Albion in the FA Cup fourth round.

He needed to be in the country to be granted a work permit in time and he didn’t arrive back from international duty until late on Thursday, meaning he hasn’t been able to train with his new squad and is unlikely to be involved on Saturday night.

Fellow signing Dejan Kulusevski arrived in the country on Sunday and played a part in Thursday’s training session.

Bitter blow

This will be a gutting blow to Conte as he surely would’ve loved to unleash his new star this evening, even more so given the lack of options now available at his disposal.

Bentancur cost an initial £15.9m from Juventus on deadline day and is expected to challenge for a spot in the starting XI from the minute he’s available.

The north London outfit sanctioned the loan departures of Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso, as well as the permanent exit of Dele Alli on the very same day, leaving the Italian with less than a handful of engine room choices.

In the Uruguayan, Conte is getting a solid box-to-box option who is capable of contributing at either end of the pitch.

“Bentancur is a complete midfielder, box-to-box, and he’s a player who’s really reliable,” claimed sporting director Fabio Paratici to the club’s official website earlier this week.

Meanwhile, The Athletic’s Serie A expert James Horncastle has also waxed lyrical about the midfielder. He said:

“He’ll do a lot of the dirty work that will allow Spurs’ flair players to do their best work, and certainly having a lot of blue-collar players in the Conte team – he’s always valued players like that.”

Indeed, he has proven to be a durable and reliable option in Italy. No player at Juventus had managed more interceptions (73) and tackles (95) combined (168) than him since the start of the 2020/21 season.

Conte would surely have loved to unleash him today, so Kilpatrick’s news will leave him and many around the club gutted.

O Botafogo tem negociações avançadas para concretizar a contratação do lateral-esquerdo Moisés, do Corinthians. As duas diretorias trabalham para fechar acordo ainda neste fim de semana. A tendência é que ele seja emprestado até o fim deste ano.

Pela manhã, o gerente de futebol do Corinthians, Alessandro Nunes, disse em conversa com jornalistas que tinha uma situação adiantada para o lateral-esquerdo. Depois, o Botafogo confirmou que está perto de fechar o negócio. Moisés tem contrato com o Alvinegro paulista até dezembro de 2019.

O lateral-esquerdo ficou fora da lista de inscritos no Campeonato Paulista e não estava nos planos do técnico Fábio Carille para a temporada. Se acertar, será a quinta contratação do Botafogo para 2018. O clube já fechou com os meias Luiz Fernando, Leandro Carvalho, e Renatinho, além do atacante Kieza.
