Gary Kirsten admitted that it is a “little bit concerning” that seamer Vernon Philander will head straight into two months of county cricket after a busy season. Philander played in seven of the eight Tests South Africa contested this season and turned out in all formats for his franchise, the Cobras. He will not have a break until the end of May, a month before South Africa’s tour to England.Kirsten said despite the packed schedule, Philander must honour his contract with Somerset because he agreed to it before he became a nationally contracted player. Kirsten was consulted about the decision and encouraged Philander to accept Somerset offer because of the experience it would allow him to gain. “That decision was made during the first Test against Australia in November,” Kirsten said. “Philander asked me my opinion and I said I didn’t think it will be a bad idea to get used to the bowling conditions there. I don’t think anyone would have thought that he would play seven Tests and get 50 wickets and really play a major part and bowl a lot of overs for us.”Philander stunned the international stage with his consistent wicket-taking and was awarded a CSA contract in January, which comes into effect on April 1. Philander’s Somerset contract was subject to conditions relating to whether he was able to secure an IPL deal. When he went unsold in the February auction, Philander’s agreement with Somerset kicked in. He will play eight matches starting on April 5, when they host Middlesex in their first Championship match.Kirsten said it is vital Philander sees out his contract but hopes CSA can work with Somerset to ensure he is not overworked or burnt out. “He wasn’t under CSA contract when he signed the Somerset contract. He needs to honour his contract, that’s important. But we would like to create a relationship with them and say these are our needs going forward in terms of the Test series,” Kirsten said. “What’s important for me is that he has a window period, a conditioning period. We would like to create that. We will chat to Somerset and see where they are on it and hopefully we can get a significant conditioning period. As it stands at the moment he is due to comeback at the end of May.”County seasons are known to be gruelling on most and South Africans have sometimes struggled to keep up. Dale Steyn was one of the bowlers who had a tough time adjusting during his 2005 stint at Essex and Lonwabo Tsotsobe also battled in his time at the same county last season. Kirsten said Somerset have promised to be accommodating with Philander but even if they are not, he should have ample rest. “They’ve been quite good about it already. They’ve said we are not going to overuse him but I know how the county circuit works. There’s no such thing as overuse when you’ve got a game on the line,” Kirsten said. “He has got a month off when he gets back and then we go to England so it’s a decent break.”Philander’s England experience is being eagerly anticipated after his explosive start in Test cricket. He is level as the second-fastest bowler to 50 Test wickets, achieving the feat in just seven matches. Although not expressly quick, Philander has shown the worth of being a crafty bowler and has gone from rookie to being the leader of the South African attack in a short space of time.The secret to Philander’s success seems to be nothing more complicated than rewards for discipline and skill and a testament to the work he put in at domestic level. “He is very consistent, he has got good control and gets subtle movement of the ball both ways,”Kirsten explained. “He bowls very accurately and has got enough pace. He knows what he is doing with the ball and he has got a great, very simple bowling technique. But, more importantly, he has got the mental capability to make big plays when we need him to make big plays and that is very exciting. It’s very exciting that we have those types of individuals. We tried him out this summer and look at the summer he had.”

Com a venda de Keno para o Pyramids FC, do Egito, o Palmeiras conta com cinco atacantes no elenco e apenas dois deles jogam com velocidade pelos lados: Artur e Dudu. Ao menos, o clube agora tem quase R$ 90 milhões para investir em reforços.

João Pedro, Tchê Tchê, Fernando e Keno movimentaram pouco mais de R$ 100 milhões em suas saídas nesta janela. Descontadas as fatias de terceiros, o Verdão ficou com R$ 89,1 milhões nos cofres com o quarteto.

A principal carência alviverde está na frente, já que os atacantes à disposição são: Borja, Willian, Deyverson, Artur e Dudu – Papagaio, do sub-20, foi usado diante dos desfalques nas últimas rodadas do Brasileiro antes da pausa. Por considerar Keno um jogador de características únicas no elenco, o clube tentou mantê-lo, mas a oferta alta e o desejo do camisa 11 pesaram.

Ainda não há nomes de possíveis substitutos, mas Bernard é um sonho antigo. Na última semana, o atacante de 25 anos informou que deixará o Shakhtar Donetsk, da Ucrânia, nesta janela. Uma transferência, portanto, seria sem custo entre clubes, apenas tendo de pagar luvas ao jogador. Ainda assim, no Verdão considera-se que esta seria uma negociação complicada, pois o jogador ainda tem mercado na Europa.

Bernard postou no Instagram uma foto em São Paulo (SP), e torcedores do Palmeiras se animaram com um possível acordo. Neste momento, porém, Alexandre Mattos está em Moscou, uma das sedes da Copa do Mundo, onde finalizou a negociação de Keno.

Para a defesa, o clube acertou na segunda com o zagueiro Nicolas Freire. Aos 24 anos, o argentino chega por empréstimo de uma temporada, com opção de compra – ele jogou na temporada passada pelo PEC Zwolle, da Holanda.

Vendas do Palmeiras nesta janela:

Keno: R$ 37,8 milhões (100% do valor para o clube)
Tchê Tchê: R$ 20,5 milhões (100% do clube)
Fernando: R$ 24 milhões (90% do clube – R$ 21,6 milhões)
João Pedro: R$ 18,4 milhões (50% do clube – R$ 9,2 milhões)
Valor arrecadado pelo clube: R$ 89,1 milhões

Varun Aaron, the Jharkhand fast bowler who has replaced Ishant Sharma in India’s ODI squad for the England series, said he will not cut back on his pace as his career progresses because he loves bowling fast. Indian fast bowlers have a history of dropping their pace dramatically as their careers take off – Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel and to some extent Ishant Sharma – but Aaron, who regularly clocks over 140kph and impressed for India Emerging Players during the recent tournament in Australia, said he will not go down that road.”It’s an individual thing, I guess. I don’t know why they decided to give up on their pace. I love bowling fast, and it is my strength. I will never compromise on my pace,” he told the . “And it’s a lot of fun to hit people on the head.”Aaron, who played for Delhi Daredevils in this year’s IPL, does know the value of accuracy too. “Speed is okay; you have to bowl quick. But it troubles international batsmen only to a certain extent. After that, they adjust pretty easily,” he told . “You have got to have a few tricks up your sleeve and you have got to bowl a good line and length consistently to get wickets. Even genuine fast bowlers have to have the right line and length.”With India struggling in the pace department in England, there were calls for Aaron, who is just 21, to be drafted into the national team, and when Ishant sustained an ankle injury, Aaron was called up to the one-day squad. He, however, said he would not be bogged down by the pressure of expectation. “It’s tough to ignore the expectations that people have. But I don’t want to think about that and I’m concentrating on bowling as fast and as well as I can.”One thing that could work in Aaron’s favour is that the assistant coach at Delhi Daredevils is Eric Simons, who is also India’s bowling coach. “Working with Eric was great,” Aaron said. “Generally, he just tells you to do the most basic of things perfectly or a small little change here or there which somehow you fail to notice. But I am always open to advice.”Aaron took 13 wickets for Jharkhand during last year’s Ranji season, followed by another nine in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, during which he reportedly bowled a 153-kph ball. He took 10 wickets in three games in the three-day leg of the Emerging Players Tournament , including 4 for 40 in the first innings against Australia Institute of Sport.

Almost three months since he blasted his way to the fastest-ever World Cup hundred, Kevin O’Brien returns to international action as Ireland take on Pakistan in a two-match ODI series. Though looking back at Ireland’s impressive World Cup campaign, during which they upset England, still puts a smile on his face, his focus now is helping Ireland rise up the ODI rankings starting with the Pakistan series.”These games are massive; with the one-day international status comes the ranking points,” O’Brien said on Irish radio show . “If we get a couple of wins here, we hopefully can climb up that table, and get as close as we can to ninth place.”Ireland are still some way off ninth-placed Bangladesh in the rankings, and even two wins would still leave them several points behind. But it would put some distance between them and Zimbabwe.O’Brien said the World Cup had been wonderful for the Ireland team, but they now had to start again against a strong Pakistan outfit. “The World Cup was a fantastic experience for all the players and the management. But we’ve got to put that to the back of our mind and start again on Saturday with a big game against Pakistan.”They’ve got some experienced players and they’ve got some young guys who are coming in looking to show what they can do at international level. So it’s going to be two very tight games, and hopefully we can perform well, to our abilities, and get a win or two.”Phil Simmons, the Ireland coach, said a big change in the mentality of the Ireland side was that they now thought about winning rather than just survival or putting up a fight. O’Brien said he doesn’t think about the result of a game and concentrates on the basics. “We’ve got to go in with a positive mentality and hopefully we can hit our areas with the ball and bat well. We can’t really look too much at the result before the game; we’ve just got to go in and do our basics well.”Ireland will be missing two key players for the series: O’Brien’s brother Niall O’Brien and left-arm spinner George Dockrell, who are both injured. Kevin O’Brien said his brother would be a big miss because of his form in the English domestic season for Northamptonshire, but it would give someone else a chance to perform on a big stage.”Niall has started the season over in England fantastically well. He has scored a couple of hundreds and five fifties, so he is in great nick. I suppose it gives another guy a chance to come in and show what they can do, and hopefully we can all pull together, the 14 guys out here, and hopefully play well.”Kevin O’Brien has also been playing in England, in limited overs-matches for Gloucestershire.

According to Sky Sports pundit Kevin Campbell, having Kurt Zouma fully fit again is ‘massive’ ahead of West Ham’s upcoming Europa League semi-final second leg clash against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night.

The Lowdown: Zouma back in contention

The Frenchman recently returned to action following a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in the Irons’ 2-0 Premier League defeat to Brentford in April.

The 27-year-old was named in David Moyes’ starting XI to face Arsenal last weekend in place of the suspended Craig Dawson, and whilst it may have been a risk for the manager to play Zouma against the Gunners given the dearth of available centre-back options, the duo are likely to partner each other at the back in Germany later this week.

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/west-ham-newest-updates/” title=”West Ham newest updates!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Latest: European priorities

In a recent interview, Campbell told Football Insider’s Dylan Childs: “They badly needed a centre-half. Even if Kurt Zouma was only fit to play an hour it’s massive.

“Of course, if he got injured the question would be to Moyes, ‘Why did you risk him?’ The Europa League semi-finals are the priority.

“I was hoping David Moyes would get a game! I was hoping he’d sign up for one game.

“Listen, these things happen at this stage of the season. West Ham have to prioritise the semi-final. It is an amazing achievement already but they will want to get to that final.

“It is unfortunate that the injuries have come at the time they have but at least Zouma is back now.”

The Verdict: Huge boost for West Ham

The 11-cap France international has been an absolute colossus at the back for the Hammers this season, winning 2.4 of his aerial duels per game on average across all competitions, showing his physical strength. He has also demonstrated a calmness to play out from the back, with a pass success rate of 87.7%, as per WhoScored.

Dubbed an “eye-catching” player by his former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, the recent return of Zouma will come as a huge boost to Moyes, especially given the fact that Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna might both be out for the rest of the season through injury.

West Ham will need all of the defensive experience available to them when they face Eintracht Frankfurt with a need to overturn a 2-1 deficit, and having someone like the £100k-per-week Frenchman in the side could prove to be the deciding factor when it comes to turning the tie around and making it to the final.

A masterful 80 by Darren Bravo was all that stood in the way of Sri Lanka, as they closed out the third day of the second Test 222 runs ahead

The Bulletin by Andrew Fernando25-Nov-2010
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsDarren Bravo’s classy 80 ended in the day’s penultimate over•AFPA masterful 80 by Darren Bravo was all that stood in the way of Sri Lanka, as they closed out the third day of the second Test 222 runs ahead. Darren Bravo was assured as he notched up his second half-century in as many innings in Tests, even as his more illustrious team-mates struggled to come to terms with the skill and variation of the Sri Lankan attack. The visitors looked good to end the day just three down as the gloom set in over Premadasa Stadium, but a double-strike from Tillakaratne Dilshan minutes before stumps meant Sri Lanka were still well in the hunt for a win and the visitors were left to ponder how they might save the Test.Darren Bravo was difficult to tie down in his 129-ball stay, happy to settle into a steady rhythm of singles for the majority of the afternoon, but taking the attack to the spinners and forcing Kumar Sangakkara to adjust the field when it became too tight for his liking. He hit four sixes and they may as well have all been carbon copies of each other. Thrice he waltzed down to left-arm spinner Rangana Herath, getting to the pitch of the ball to launch him over long-on and long-off, while Mendis, too, was treated to a lofted wallop that sailed over the ropes in the same area.Darren Bravo fell in the penultimate over of the day to a stunning catch. Having watched Brendan Nash perish two balls prior, Darren Bravo tried to hit out against Dilshan, but his attempted slog over midwicket – perhaps the first rash stroke he played all day – took the leading edge and looped in the air on the off side. Herath, who was fielding at backward point, ran towards cover and flung himself horizontally, arms outstretched, and the ball landed in his palms mid-flight and his ecstatic teammates converged to congratulate him.Sri Lanka looked to step up the scoring in the morning, as they attempted to force a win in the rain-hit match, declaring at 387 for 9, after the tail had chipped in with some valuable runs. Kumar Sangakkara departed early on, having hit a couple of imperious boundaries off Kemar Roach, and Prasanna Jayawardene’s 34 guided Sri Lanka steadily towards a formidable first-innings total.Herath batted well in the company of the other lower-order batsmen, and exploited some negative field placements to make some quick runs, tempering occasional aggression with a series of canny ones and twos. He remained unbeaten on 24 when the declaration came and the hosts had left themselves just enough time before lunch to knock over Adrian Barath.Chris Gayle began the afternoon session with some typically brutal strikes off the wayward Suranga Lakmal and his 30-ball stay was littered with glimpses of the kind of arrogance with which he flayed the Sri Lankan attack during his triple-ton in Galle. Gayle drilled boundaries through cover and point, but was not always his domineering self, as he survived a couple of close lbw shouts off Lakmal, who bowled the odd good delivery amid the rubbish. Gayle was out hooking for 31, top-edging a steepling bouncer to Angelo Mathews, who shuffled around at the square-leg boundary to snaffle the chance, giving Lakmal his first wicket in Tests.Shivnarine Chanderpaul didn’t last too long, falling to a Mendis legbreak and Nash never looked comfortable at the crease during his strained 29. The spinners tormented him outside the off stump while Lakmal, too, caused some nervous moments with the short ball. He was given a reprieve on 15 when a well-directed bouncer from Lakmal induced a top- edge, but Prasanna Jayawardene’s valiant effort – running full tilt towards backward-square for about thirty metres – was not enough to end his stay, the ball brushing past the wicketkeeper’s gloves as he put in a full-length dive. He was eventually adjudged lbw by Asad Rauf, giving Dilshan the first of his two quick wickets. Bad light intervened soon after Darren Bravo had departed and caused yet another premature end to play, with two days remaining in the Test.
