Chad Bowes marked his 100th List A game with a double-century•Canterbury Cricket Association

Chad Bowes scored the fastest List A double-century on Wednesday for Canterbury against Otago in the Ford Trophy. Bowes brought up the milestone in 103 balls, before eventually falling for 205 off 110 deliveries.The record was previously held by Australia’s Travis Head and India’s N Jagadeesan, who both took 114 deliveries each to get to their respective double-centuries. Head achieved the feat for South Australia against Queensland in the 2021-22 Marsh Cup, while Tamil Nadu’s Jagadeesan did it during his record-breaking 277 against Arunachal Pradesh in the 2022 Vijay Hazare Trophy.Playing his 100th List A match, Bowes hit 27 fours and seven sixes as he helped Canterbury post 343 for 9 after they were put in to bat at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.”It might sink in over the next day or two, but obviously a great day here at Hagley and a good occasion to do something special,” Bowes said after his innings. “These things happen naturally, organically. You don’t plan for it or try to do it, so I’m glad it was my day. Probably not [hit he ball] consistently that well, so it was nice to get most of them out of the middle and hit it around the park. It started off really nicely so I just kept going and it was working so I didn’t try to rein it in too much and just kept the foot on the gas.”The 32-year-old got off to a quick start and continued to show his aggression despite losing his opening partner Henry Nicholls for a five-ball duck in the second over. He got to his half-century in 26 balls and brought up his century in 53 deliveries. He took another 50 deliveries to complete his double, before being trapped lbw in the 39th over by Matthew Bacon, who registered a five-for. This was Bowes’ best List A score, comfortably going past his previous high score of 126.Only two other batters in Canterbury’s top seven reached double-figures, with captain Cole McConchie’s 40-ball 27 the next highest score. However, No. 8 Zakary Foulkes gave them a late boost with a 46-ball 49 to take them close to 350.Canterbury bowled Otago out for 103 to complete a 240-run win.

Boost for India as KL Rahul returns to bat in Sunday training

With Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma ruled out of the Perth Test, it remains to be seen at what position Rahul will bat

Tristan Lavalette17-Nov-202416:26

Runorder: Will Australia end up dominating the Border-Gavaskar Trophy?

With Shubman Gill set to miss the Perth Test, KL Rahul’s return to training came as a big boost for India on Sunday. He shrugged off injury concerns as he returned to batting during the team’s training session at the WACA in Perth.Rahul left the field early in India’s intra-squad match simulation on Friday after being struck on the elbow by a rising delivery from Prasidh Krishna. The blow left him grimacing and he trudged off the ground after seeking medical attention. Rahul did not return to the crease later that day as India’s main batters had another turn at the crease.But Rahul was put through a solid workout during India’s training session on Sunday morning that lasted nearly three hours. After two days of match simulation – featuring effectively India’s main XI against a line-up comprising fringe or India A players – some squad members trained on the WACA centre wicket and nets.Related

Rahul spent about an hour having a hit on the ground before a short workout at the nets. There were no signs of discomfort although Rahul did not look as fluent as before his blow during the match simulation when he opened the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.”Based on the reporting, I was a lot more confident that he should be fine,” Yogesh Parmar, one of India’s physiotherapists who accompanied Rahul for the X-rays and scans, said on a post on X from BCCI. “It was just a matter of controlling the pain and him getting some confidence. From a medical point of view, he is absolutely fine””I’m feeling good and I’ve batted today,” Rahul said, “getting ready for the first game. [I] was happy that I could come here early, get some time to get used to the conditions. I’ve got a lot of time preparing for the series and I’m excited and looking forward to it.”Rahul’s improved fitness status came just hours before Gill’s unavailability for Perth was confirmed. Gill suffered a thumb injury on the second day of India’s intra-squad training match. His position in the batting order, however, remains uncertain following the news that Rohit Sharma will not arrive in Perth in time for the first Test, after he and his wife Ritika Sajdeh had their second child on Friday.Rahul’s availability is key, especially with Gill picking up a thumb injury in the series build up•Getty Images

Gill, who made 28 and an unbeaten 42 on Friday, picked up the injury while fielding in the slips and left the field. He wasn’t sighted at Sunday’s training session which did not feature several of India’s leading batters, including Jaiswal, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant.Amid reports that he underwent scans recently, Kohli batted without any sign of discomfort across two innings on the first day of the match simulation. He made 15 and 30 not out, but struggled at times against short-pitched bowling on a relatively sedate WACA surface.India’s frontline bowling attack, led by vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah, was unleashed during the match simulation on day two and they also trained on Sunday.After an initial three days at the nets followed by three days of match-simulation practice on the centre wicket, India have completed their block of training at the WACA. Tuesday onwards, they will resume their preparations at the Optus Stadium, where the first Test begins on November 22.While some net sessions and the first day of match simulation were open to the media, the weekend activities took place behind closed doors owing to logistical reasons.Hosts Australia, meanwhiless, start their first Test preparations on Monday with a training session at the WACA.

Eduardo vira trunfo do Botafogo para clássico diante do Flamengo

MatériaMais Notícias

O Flamengo não terá um dos seus principais jogadores para partida diante do Botafogo. Arrascaeta está com uma lesão no músculo adutor da coxa esquerda desde março e ainda não tem um prazo definido de retorno aos gramados. Com isso, Eduardo pode ser um trunfo importante do Botafogo no clássico.

Sem Arrascaeta, Jorge Sampaoli não terá um meia de criação. Everton Ribeiro e Gerson possuem qualidades para atuarem como armadores, mas atualmente desempenham outras funções em campo. O Glorioso, por outro lado, terá um nome para atuar como camisa 10 e ser responsável pela construção das jogadas.

Man Utd eyeing PSG star who's now considering exit with Donnarumma

On the dawn of their Premier League meeting to open their respective seasons, Manchester United and Arsenal have reportedly set their sights on the same impressive target.

Amorim: "Smart" Sesko "ready" for Man Utd debut

It’s a big weekend for Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United side. They’ve had investment this summer and excuses are running out for any potential disastrous form.

Man Utd set sights on Baleba alternative who scored stunner at Old Trafford

The Red Devils are looking at options beyond Carlos Baleba.

BySean Markus Clifford Aug 16, 2025

Whilst there’s still work to do in the transfer market, the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko should hand the Red Devils more than enough firepower to battle their way back into the top six this season. And that could start in statement fashion against Arsenal.

If Amorim wants to see exactly where his side are at in the early days of the season, then Arsenal’s visit will certainly be welcomed. The Portuguese manager may waste no time before turning towards his fresh forwards either, having told reporters that Sesko is “ready”, despite only arriving one week ago.

On the transfer front, however, Manchester United seem far from done. After failing to negotiate a way past Brighton & Hove Albion’s £100m price tag for Carlos Baleba, those at Old Trafford could yet turn towards the likes of Angelo Stiller or others, whilst a Champions League winner is now also on their radar.

Man Utd eyeing Lee Kang-in move

According to Caught Offside, Manchester United are now eyeing a move to sign Lee Kang-in from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The winger is free to leave amid competition for places in France and has already reportedly had direct contact from Arsenal.

Lee Kang-in for Paris Saint-Germain

In a fresh transfer battle ahead of their Premier League tie, United may already find themselves behind but, based on this summer, that may not be a problem.

Despite not having much to offer in terms of European football or a thriving project this summer, the Red Devils have still managed to lure the likes of Sesko away from rivals such as Arsenal and Newcastle United. Now, they could do the same with Lee.

Described as “brilliant” by scout Jacek Kulig in the 2022/23 campaign, and a “joy to watch”, Lee sent a timely reminder of his quality for PSG in their recent Super Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur – scoring an excellent goal to get the Champions League holders back in the contest late on.

Now, it appears the South Korean could well leave with Gianluigi Donnarumma, as he “seriously” considers an exit before the summer deadline.

رسميًا.. الزمالك يُعلن إقالة مدربه بعد الهزيمة أمام برشلونة

أعلن مجلس إدارة نادي الزمالك برئاسة الكابتن حسين لبيب، توجيه الشكر إلى المدرب الفرنسي فرانك موريس المدير الفني للفريق الأول لكرة اليد، مع تمنياته له بالتوفيق في مسيرته المقبلة.

وكشف المجلس عن بدء دراسة عدد من السير الذاتية لمدربين بارزين، من مصر وخارجها، لاختيار الأنسب لقيادة الفريق في المرحلة القادمة، بما يتماشى مع طموحات النادي وجماهيره.

ويأتي هذا القرار عقب الخسارة الثقيلة التي تعرّض لها الفريق أمام برشلونة الإسباني بنتيجة (47-25)، في المباراة التي جمعت الفريقين أمس الأحد ضمن منافسات كأس العالم للأندية لكرة اليد، ليودّع الزمالك حلم التأهل إلى نصف النهائي.

Quem joga? Palmeiras parte para duelo pela Libertadores com dúvidas no time titular

MatériaMais Notícias

O Palmeiras já mudou a “chave” e pensa exclusivamente na disputa da Libertadores, torneio pelo qual tem partida decisiva nesta quarta-feira, às 19h (de Brasília), diante do Cerro Porteño-PAR, em Assunção. Podendo encaminhar uma vaga nas oitavas de final com a vitória, o Verdão viaja para a capital paraguaia com dúvidas no time titular. Além da possibilidade de poupar algumas peças, Abel Ferreira pode trocar alguns nomes da equipe, um por retorno de lesão e outro que pode não ter condições de jogo.

Com a maratona de jogos fora de casa que o time está passando (Santos, Cerro, Atlético-MG e Fortaleza), é possível que o duelo no Paraguai seja a oportunidade para dosar a minutagem do elenco. Isso porque o Alviverde ainda teria dois jogos em casa até encerrar a fase de grupos da Libertadores, quando poderia decidir sua vida na competição, de uma maneira mais tranquila, teoricamente. De qualquer forma, a comissão técnica vai avaliar as necessidades junto ao Núcleo de Saúde e Performance para escalar o time.

Se a avaliação resultar na liberação de todos os titulares, Abel Ferreira terá duas dúvidas para escalar sua equipe. A primeira delas é a mais importante e preocupante: Gustavo Gómez. O zagueiro sofreu uma pequena fissura na face como consequência de um choque de cabeça que teve no clássico do último sábado (20). Embora tenha trabalhado sem restrições com os companheiros na segunda (22), ele passou a ser dúvida na viagem para Assunção. Caso não tenha condições de jogo, Naves será o escolhido para substituir o paraguaio.

Outra incógnita é na lateral direita. Marcos Rocha, que vinha se recuperando de lesão muscular, voltou a ser relacionado e ficou no banco no clássico na Vila Belmiro. Mayke tem sido o titular na ausência do camisa 2 e vem se apresentando muito bem. Apesar de Rocha ser jogador de confiança de Abel, não é possível garantir que ele irá voltar imediatamente para a sua posição no 11 inicial. Dependendo da formação escolhida, pode ser até que os dois joguem juntos, como ocorreu no Brasileirão de 2022.

+ Palmeiras pode encaminhar vaga no mata-mata da Libertadores contra o Cerro; veja as contas

Pensando na manutenção do Palmeiras com força máxima, uma provável escalação é: Weverton; Mayke (Marcos Rocha), Gustavo Gómez (Naves), Luan e Piquerez; Zé Rafael, Gabriel Menino e Raphael Veiga; Artur, Dudu e Rony.

O Verdão volta a treinar nesta terça-feira (23), às 10h, na Academia de Futebol. Na quarta (24), dia da partida, o clube pode completar 50 vitórias como visitante na Libertadores (sem considerar os triunfos em campo neutro, caso das finais de 2020 e 2021). O retrospecto atual é de 112 jogos, 49 vitórias, 22 empates, 41 derrotas, 176 gols marcados e 141 gols sofridos.

Medical imminent: Everton on verge of sealing deal for "world class" player

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Everton are expected to make big progress in their efforts to sign a priority target in the “next 24 hours”.

Grealish delighted after impressive Everton debut

The Blues made a perfect start to life at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon, beating Brighton 2-0, thanks to goals from Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner.

It was debutant Jack Grealish who caught the eye the most, however, with the Englishman assisting both goals and speaking of his happiness after the game.

“It was massive, our first game at the new stadium and we wanted to put on a show for the supporters. I think we certainly did that. I always say playing against Brighton is one of the toughest games with the way they play, so we’re very happy to get the win. It was great.

“I absolutely loved my time at Man City – I had a great four years there and won a lot of things, but this summer I felt like it was time for a change and, as I’ve said before, as soon as I spoke to the manager, David Moyes, on FaceTime, I knew this was the place I wanted to come. There were a lot of reasons why I wanted to come here – and today shows why.”

It was a huge win for Everton, especially after the defeat at Leeds United to begin their 2025/26 season, and it’s now a case of them completing more transfer business before the window closes next Monday, with David Moyes proving he can get the best out of limited squad depth during his tenure so far.

Everton closing in on "world-class talent"

According to Romano on X, Everton are on the verge of signing Tyler Dibling after a breakthrough in the deal, with a medical expected to take place imminently.

Dibling has the potential to be such an exciting signing for Everton, during a summer in which much-needed creativity has been added to the squad, from Grealish to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

The 19-year-old Saints ace is a player with so much ability, invariably taking a right-sided role and cutting onto his left foot, with Southampton’s academy manager Andy Goldie heaping praise on him.

While Grealish is another exciting addition, he turns 30 next month and doesn’t represent the long-term future, whereas Dibling falls into that bracket perfectly.

The teenage attacker can mature into a wonderful player over time, should Moyes get the best out of him, and it looks like a case of when the deal is announced now, rather than if.

Gambhir: Kohli and Rohit will have 'massive roles' to play in Champions Trophy

“These guys are still hungry, and still have the passion to play for the country and deliver for the country”

PTI01-Feb-2025

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s recent run of form has been a cause of concern for India•Getty Images

India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir believes Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will both have “massive roles” to play for the team in the upcoming Champions Trophy. Gambhir said that both players still have “so much value” to offer, despite their recent poor run of form.”I think both Rohit and Virat, they add so much value to the dressing room. They add so much value to Indian cricket as well. They’ve got to play a massive role (in the Champions Trophy),” Gambhir said in Mumbai on Saturday, at the BCCI annual awards.”And I’ve said it before as well, those guys are so hungry, they want to play for the country. They have the passion to play for the country and deliver for the country.”Gambhir said India cannot afford to relax even for a moment in the Champions Trophy because they have just three league matches, unlike the 2023 50-over World Cup where there were nine each.Related

Tickets for Champions Trophy final from only four days before match

“Champions Trophy is a completely different challenge as compared to the 50-over World Cup because literally every game is a make-or-break, so you can’t stop anywhere in this tournament.”So hopefully we’re going to start off really well, because ultimately, if you want to go on and win the competition, you have to win five games.”Gambhir played down the hype surrounding the India vs Pakistan match, which is scheduled to be played in Dubai on February 23.”Look, we don’t go to the Champions Trophy thinking that the 23rd is the most important game for us. I think five games, all the games are important. The mission to go to Dubai is to win the Champions Trophy, not only win one particular game. But yes, if that is one game in the middle of winning the Champions Trophy, we’re going to try and take it as seriously as possible.”And more importantly, I think when two countries, India and Pakistan, play against each other, obviously the emotions are really high, but ultimately the contest remains the same.”Gambhir also hailed Suryakumar Yadav, India’s T20I captain, for infusing fresh ideas into the squad following the retirements of Kohli and Rohit from the shortest format after the T20 World Cup last year.”Me and Surya have been on the same page when we talk about selflessness and fearlessness. But yes, we want to be more smart going forward, because that is how we’re going to grow as a T20 team, and hopefully in all the other formats as well.”But I think the guys have been absolutely phenomenal. They’ve got the skills, they’ve got the temperament, they’ve got all the ability. And what they’ve done in the last six months, I think that’s been incredible.”I think the foundation of this T20 team was based on two principles. That is selflessness and fearlessness. I think that is something which we want to create in that dressing room, and these young boys have responded really, really well.”
