There has been some chirping between the teams in recent seasons, but it will come down to skills on the field

Andrew McGlashan01-Dec-2023Big picture: Heat’s power verses Strikers’ economyAdelaide Strikers will aim for back-to-back WBBL titles in front of what they hope will be a record crowd when they face Brisbane Heat at Adelaide Oval.In recent times, there has been a bit of needle between the teams, with Megan Schutt last year branding Heat’s style of cricket a “bit arrogant” ahead of the Challenger final, which Strikers won, but this will be a fascinating match-up even away from chirping.This year’s final pits together the team with the highest batting run rate (Heat at 8.42) and the side with the most frugal economy (Strikers at 6.47).Related

Like a glove – how Bridget Patterson fit into Adelaide Strikers' plans

Strikes have been, without doubt, the team of the regular season, stringing together 11 victories to leave daylight to second place. Heat, meanwhile, had to reach the final the hard way after three defeats towards the end of the round-robin phase. However, in the space of 24 hours, they produced two superb performances to overturn Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers in the qualifying finals.Four Heat batters have more than 300 runs for the season and they have arguably the biggest X-factor player of the competition in Grace Harris, who holds a strike rate of 171.12. Jess Jonassen has once again led the way with the ball as part of a strong spin attack alongside Amelia Kerr, breakout star Charli Knott and Georgia Voll.Strikers’ batting has been underpinned by Katie Mack with 449 runs – interestingly compiled without a single six. In a timely run to the finals, Laura Wolvaardt, crucially available before taking up the South Africa captaincy, has found close to her best form.Their bowling attack is varied with the dual legspin of Amanda-Jade Wellington and Anesu Mushangwe having been a key part of it. In a sign of the team’s consistency, they have only used 13 players through the regular season. A legacy beckons if they can win on Saturday.Form guide

Brisbane Heat LLLWWGrace Harris can win a match on her own•Getty ImagesIn the spotlight: Darcie Brown and Grace HarrisA hamstring injury picked up against West Indies put paid to the majority of Darcie Brown’s season, but she has had an impact on her return with four wickets in two games including a Player-of-the-Match 3 for 18 against Scorchers to secure a home final. “I’m maybe five or so metres back further than any of our other bowlers,” Bridget Patterson told ESPNcricinfo about keeping to Brown. “On Adelaide Oval, it felt quick for sure, I was probably a couple of metres off the ring. Darcie’s been a great inclusion. I’m glad we’ve had her for the important games at the end of the season.”It won’t always come off, but Grace Harris is the type of player who can win a final off her own bat. She had a huge impact in the qualifying finals with scores of 45 and 54 having been somewhat up and down following her record-breaking 136 off 59 balls at North Sydney Oval early in the season. “I’m a strike-rate batter… [aim to] strike at 180-200,” she said after the Challenger final. “You will be inconsistent, but happy to own that role. We want to play an aggressive brand of cricket. It’s about scoring shots and not getting worried about getting out.”Team news: England players absentWhile Strikers have Wolvaardt, England allrounder Dani Gibson has left for their tour of India, which could be a significant hole in the middle order. Gibson struck at 147.43 with the bat and claimed ten wickets. Brown, who was rested for the final regular-season game, will come back in although that leaves a longer tail.Adelaide Strikers (probable): 1 Katie Mack, 2 Laura Wolvaardt, 3 Tahlia McGrath (capt), 4 Bridget Patterson (wk) 5 Madeline Penna, 6 Georgia Adams, 7 Jemma Barsby, 8 Amanda-Jade Wellington, 9 Darcie Brown, 10 Megan Schutt, 11 Anesu MushangweAmelia Kerr is available for Heat before heading back to New Zealand for international duty, but like Strikers, they have lost England batter Bess Heath.

The scores weren’t huge during the stadium round last week with Heat’s 160 for 8 against Thunder the highest. Scorchers were bundled out for 104 by Strikers. The forecast is for a mild day although it will be cooler by the evening.Stats and trivia Laura Harris has the highest batting strike-rate of the season of 220.00. Beyond Lauren Bell (who faced two balls), her sister, Grace, is next at 171.12 Bridget Patterson is one stumping away from equalling the WBBL season record of 13 Brisbane Heat have been in finals for six consecutive seasons and were back-to-back champions in 2018-19 and 2019-2020Quotes”Every time we play each other it comes down to the wire. I’ve seen a lot of… they’ve got the best batting attack and we’ve got the best bowling attack and we are excited for the challenge. There’s a bit of extra spice but it’s all fun and games.”
“We do have the confidence and if that’s perceived as something else then so be it. We back the style of play that we have, we believe in that, and ultimately that’s what it comes down to, we are really clear as a team what we are about.”

استرجع الحكم الدولي محمد عادل، كواليس “تصريح الاحتواء” بشأن مباراة سابقة أدارها بين قطبي الكرة المصرية، الأهلي والزمالك.

وكان محمد عادل قال في تصريحات سابقة، إنه اضطر في بعض أوقات المباراة لاحتواء غضب لاعبي الزمالك، بعدما شعر بتوترهم الشديد بسبب نتيجة اللقاء الذي انتهى بفوز الأهلي بنتيجة 5-3 من الدوري المصري، وقتها.

وقال محمد عادل، في تصريحات لبرنامج ملعب أون سبورت على قناة أون سبورتس: “عمر ما حصل في مصر إن عُرضت علي رشوة، لكن حدثت كثيرًا خارج مصر، كان يقال لي مثلًا رئيس نادي فلاني يريد أن يزورك في الغرفة أو مسؤول العلاقات العامة يريد أن يجلس معك، فكنت بخرج من الموضوع بشياكة وكنا كحكام بنقعد كلنا في أوضة واحدة عشان نحافظ على بعض”.

وعن تصريح الاحتواء، قال: “أنا أستطيع أن أتحدث بلغة عربية جيدة، أنا الحكم الوحيد الذي حكم مباراة الأهلي والزمالك واحتسبت 3 ركلات جزاء بدون فار، وكنت أقول في المداخلة مع الكابتن شوبير إن خلال المباراة وبسبب النتيحة بدأ بعض اللاعبين يخرجون عن السيطرة، بعض اللاعبين كانوا غاضبين ويقولون لي عجبك النتيجة ولا إنت عشان عايز يتكتب اسمك في التاريخ، فإما أن أحتوي غضب اللاعبين أو أعطيهم بطاقة صفراء في أخرى وأطردهم”.

وتابع: “أبرز محاضرة تدرس في الفيفا هي كيفية إدارة المباريات، أنا قلت لطاقم التحكيم نحتوي لاعبي الفريق، وهذا من حسن إدارة الموقف، وهذا موجود في القانون، لو عدنا للمباراة التي قلت بعدها كلمة احتواء، هل أحد من الناديين كان له ركلة جزاء ولم تُحتسب؟ لا، أو كان لاعبا يستحق الطرد ولم يُطرد؟ لا، الناس كانت طايرة بالتحكيم حتى هذه المكالمة”.

وكشف: “ممكن لاعب عندما يكون غاضبا تتجاهله، أو تشرح له سبب القرار، طالما في إطار الاحترام فهذا أمر جيد، في ركلة الجزاء الثانية التي احتسبت للنادي الأهلي، أثناء تسديد الكرة في حد من الخارج ألقى بكرة في الملعب وكانت بجانبي، وعندما سجلت الكرة في المرمى قمت بركل الكرة الزائدة خارج الملعب، وهذا نوع من أنواع الاحتواء ولم يشعر أحد بهذا الموقف نهائيًا، وهذا قانوني لأن الكرة لم تكن متداخلة في اللعب”.

وواصل: “أذكى لاعب رأيته في الملعب على مدار 27 سنة في الملعب هو عبد الله السعيد، يفعل أمورا رائعة في الملعب، ويلعب وعمره 39 سنة وكأنه 20 سنة، لا يُفكر إلا في كرة القدم فقط، وأيضًا من الشخصيات القيادية التي يُمكن الحديث معها في الملعب”.

واختتم: “أصعب لاعب قابلته في الملعب نبيل عماد دونجا، خارج الملعب شخص طيب جدًا لكن في الملعب تشعر وكأن لابسه جن”.

  The Liga MX roster has taken a hit with several last-minute absences. América’s Henry Martín and Sebastián Cáceres were ruled out due to injury, while Cruz Azul will be without Ignacio Rivero, Erik Lira, and Carlos Rotondi.

The maximum fee Real Madrid would be willing to pay for Ibrahima Konate — into the last year of his contract — to Liverpool has been revealed.

Madrid not ruling out move for Konate this summerWould ideally prefer to sign him for free next yearFee Blancos would be willing to pay now revealedFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

When it comes to Konate, Real Madrid want to follow the same recipe they implemented to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer. Madrid prefer to sign Konate as a free agent after his contract at Liverpool expires next summer. However, under certain circumstances, the 15-time European champions could rather opt to buy the defender this summer instead of waiting to snap him up for free in 2026.

According to , Madrid will not pay more than €25 million (£22m/$29m) for Konate's services. Los Blancos are aware that the odds are heavily stacked in their favour, with the centre-back keen on playing for the Spanish heavyweights. However, Liverpool will not make life easy for Madrid. While they would have no issues cashing in on the French centre-back this summer, they have slapped a non-negotiable price tag of €50m (£43m/$58m).

DID YOU KNOW?

Konate has already declined multiple renewal offers from Liverpool, having entered into the final year of his contract. The French international has made it clear that he would be open to a departure from Anfield this summer as long as it's Madrid who sign him. However, he reportedly doesn't have any issues in running down his contract and emulate his former team-mate Alexander-Arnold.

While Madrid are more inclined towards signing Konate for free next summer, a policy they have mastered in recent years, they could make a late push to sign him this summer if they manage to offload some players. David Alaba, who was similarly signed for free from Bayern Munich in 2021, has entered the final year of his contract. The Merengues would be keen to offload him this summer, given that he's the team's second-highest earner behind Kylian Mbappe.

The WPL final is scheduled for March 17 in Delhi, two days before England’s first T20I against NZ in Dunedin

Matt Roller02-Feb-2024The ECB has made an unsuccessful request to New Zealand Cricket (NZC) to move the dates of England’s upcoming women’s tour, with four players deemed unavailable for the first three T20Is as a result of their Women’s Premier League (WPL) commitments in India and two others pulling out of their franchise contracts.NZC confirmed the fixtures in July for the tour, which comprises five T20Is and three ODIs between March 19 and April 6. The BCCI had only publicly announced the window for the WPL last Wednesday, with the final scheduled for March 17 in Delhi – two days before the opening T20I in Dunedin.ESPNcricinfo understands that the ECB asked NZC to consider shifting the series back but were told it would not be possible. “We explored every option available to us to make sure all our players were available during the New Zealand series, but that didn’t quite work out as we would have liked,” Jon Lewis, England’s coach, said.”Yes, there are things that other boards could have done, but they’re things that are totally out of our control to be honest. We’ve had to react to the situation as best we can… it’s quite a unique situation. It’s quite complex… we talk to everyone as individuals and work out what we think is the best plan for them.”Lewis blamed the late release of the WPL’s schedule, which was decided several months after NZC had confirmed the dates of England’s tour. “[The series] was in our diary for a very long period of time,” he said. “The WPL dates came out very late. Moving forward, all the boards around the world will create a window for the WPL similar to the men’s game.”Related

Nat Sciver-Brunt: 'I'd be lying if I said money wasn't a factor'

The ECB told the eight England players with WPL contracts that to be considered for selection in the first three T20Is, they would need to leave India before the knockout stages. Jonathan Finch, the director of England women’s cricket, said: “All players participating in the WPL were given our backing to remain in India for the duration of the tournament.”Lauren Bell (UP Warriorz) and Heather Knight (Royal Challengers Bangalore) both pulled out of their deals last week. “They withdrew once they learnt that the WPL regulations don’t allow for replacements mid-tournament, not wanting their respective WPL teams to be disadvantaged by their early departure,” Finch said.Lewis himself will leave the WPL after UP Warriorz’s final group game on March 11, with assistant coach Ashley Noffke likely to deputise if they reach the knockout stages. “I had good discussions with the franchise,” Lewis said. “Hopefully, we’re in a really strong position. We’ve got a lot of cover in the coaching department and UP have been really accommodating.”Jon Lewis: “Moving forward, all boards around the world will create a window for the WPL similar to the men’s game”•ICC via Getty ImagesEngland named two separate T20I squads on Friday, one for the first three matches and another for the final two. Hollie Armitage and Linsey Smith will be replaced by Alice Capsey (Delhi Capitals), Sophie Ecclestone (UP Warriorz), Nat Sciver-Brunt (Mumbai Indains) and Danni Wyatt (UP Warriorz) ahead of the fourth T20I. Kate Cross (RCB) will arrive for the ODIs, while Issy Wong (MI) was not selected for either format.”We tried to make sure that all the players that are in New Zealand with us will get a really fair crack, rather than worrying about Nat Sciver-Brunt getting knocked out [of the WPL] on one day, flying in three days later and taking their position in the team,” Lewis said, framing the clash as “a brilliant opportunity” to test England’s depth ahead of the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh later this year.With Wyatt in India for the full WPL, Tammy Beaumont looks set to open the batting in the first three T20Is and will win her 100th cap in the format. A pedestrian strike rate meant she has spent two years out of the side since her 99th, but she has since shown her dynamism in domestic cricket. “We asked her to go away and improve in certain areas,” Lewis said. “She went away and she did that.”Mahika Gaur, who has played in England’s last two T20I series, is unavailable as she continues to study for her A-Levels, while Freya Kemp has been picked as a specialist batter for the parallel England A tour to New Zealand after a recurrence of a back injury. Kirstie Gordon (T20s) and Grace Scrivens (ODIs) will captain the secondary tour, while Tash Farrant and Emma Lamb both feature after back injuries.England T20I squad vs New Zealand: Hollie Armitage*, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey+, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone+, Lauren Filer, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Heather Knight (captain), Nat Sciver-Brunt+, Linsey Smith*, Danni Wyatt+ ()England ODI squad vs New Zealand: Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Kate Cross, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Heather Knight (capt), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danni WyattEngland A squad vs New Zealand: Georgia Adams, Hannah Baker, Alice Davidson-Richards, Tash Farrant, Kirstie Gordon (T20 captain), Freya Kemp, Emma Lamb, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Sophie Munro, Grace Potts, Paige Scholfield, Grace Scrivens (ODI captain), Seren Smale, Rhianna Southby, Mady Villiers

Josh Cobb has left Northamptonshire with a year remaining on his contract after he was removed as T20 captain without prior consultation by coach John Sadler last summer.Cobb said he was “blindsided” by Sadler’s decision to name David Willey captain two weeks before the start of the Blast season, after spending four years in charge. “I am both shocked and disappointed to be relieved of my captaincy duties so close to the Blast starting,” he wrote on social media at the time.His form suffered in the Blast, making 76 runs in seven innings and he was deemed surplus to requirements throughout the Royal London Cup and the second half of the County Championship season. His final first-team game of the summer came on June 9.Cobb, 33, intends to continue his professional career elsewhere in 2024. “Cobb has left the club by mutual agreement ahead of the final year of his existing contract, allowing him to pursue cricketing opportunities elsewhere,” Northamptonshire said in a club statement.The high point of Cobb’s nine seasons with Northants came in 2016, when he hit 80 off 48 balls against Durham in the final of the Blast to help them win the competition for the second time in four years. It was the second time in his career that he was named player of the match in the Blast final, after taking 4 for 22 in Leicestershire’s 2011 victory over SomersetNorthants signed Cobb ahead of the 2015 season as part of a data-driven recruitment strategy which underpinned their extraordinary T20 success during a period of financial adversity. He leaves as their second-highest run-scorer in the Blast’s history behind only Alex Wakely, his predecessor as T20 captain.”I have loved my time at the club,” Cobb said. “Winning the T20 Blast in 2016 is one of the highlights of my career so far and I hope the club can return to those glory days in the future. I’d like to thank the club, staff, my teammates and of course the fans for all their support over the years.””On behalf of everyone at the club I’d like to wish Josh all the best for the future,” Ray Payne, Northants’ chief executive, said. “We’re grateful for his service as both a player and a leader as our white-ball captain during his eight years at the club”.Visa pending, Northamptonshire are hopeful of securing the services of Rory Kleinveldt, the former South Africa seamer, as their bowling coach for the 2024 season. Kleinveldt, 40, played for the club for four seasons between 2015 and 2018, including the 2016 Blast final, and was recently part of South Africa’s limited-overs set-up.

The pitch trays will be shipped from Australia to Florida then transported to the pop-up venue

Adelaide Oval head groundsman Damien Hough says the drop-in pitches that will be used at Eisenhower Park in New York for the Men’s T20 World Cup are a world first in terms of how they are prepared with some of the trays being built in Adelaide before being shipped to Florida and then transported to the new venue ahead of the tournament.Hough and his team at Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions have been hired by the ICC to oversee the delivery and preparation of the drop-in pitches at the pop-up stadium in New York given their expertise in growing and preparing drop-in pitches over the last decade.Related

Hough explained that it has been a complicated process to prepare the pitches for the World Cup with a lot of logistical challenges involved.”It’s a bit tricky, we basically built six of the 10 trays here in Adelaide,” Hough told . “We made them modular. We’re really proud of them. We’ve got a couple out of the back that will probably come out here [on Adelaide Oval] next year.”We put them in a shipping container and send them really wherever we want around the world. But they’ve gone over to Florida. And I’ve just come back from a month of work over there putting the trays together, putting the soil in, compacting them and putting the grass on. So we’re in the grow-in phase.”We’ve got a business, a company over there called LandTek that are helping us with the grow-in phase. Then there’s a couple more strategic trips throughout the next six months to do some work on them and then transport them from Florida all the way up to New York where we’ll put them in and prepare them.”It’s a lot of work that’s gone into it so far. But the real work starts around the start of May. It’ll take two days to transport them up which is quite incredible. Never done that before. So there’s a lot of firsts. And then there’s getting them in the ground.”Four go into that venue, that pop-up stadium, 34,000-seat stadium. Eight games in 10 days. One of them is Pakistan and India which will be amazing. And then there’s six that go into the warm-up venue with so many teams rotating through and so much training.”Hough, who has also been dividing his time while also working on the Adelaide Oval pitch for the Test match between Australia and West Indies and Adelaide’s BBL pitches, said there is only likely to be one warm-up game at Eisenhower Park before the World Cup starts.”The first game is early June,” Hough said. “There’s probably going to be a warm-up game just to test the venue out in late May. But yeah, I pinch myself sometimes. For us, Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions, to have a little bit of involvement and assist with something that is quite historic in a World Cup in America for the first time.”
