Mitchell Johnson, the Australia fast bowler, has identified Virender Sehwag as the main obstacle to his team’s bowling attack, one he felt he can overcome by subjecting the India opener to a barrage of short balls.”Last time when we were over here we came out and he was hitting good balls for four or six, you look up at the scoreboard and he’s almost 50,” Johnson said. “Sehwag is someone we can bowl a lot of short balls to. I don’t think he’s too confident with the short ball early.”Apart from Johnson, Australia boast of a squad with several pace options including Doug Bollinger, Ben Hilfenhaus, Peter George and Shane Watson. The short ball, Watson said, could be a significant weapon against a strong Indian batting line-up. “There are a few things we know we can make the most of with, hopefully, some of the Indian batsmen. I think with a few guys it doesn’t necessarily have to be raw pace, but getting a few short balls up a few of their top-order batsmen is going to be really important, to set the tone for our bowling side.”Australia have two frontline spinners in their squad – Nathan Hauritz and Steven Smith – but they could be supported by a raft of part-timers including Michael Clarke, Simon Katich and Marcus North, all of whom have five-fors at the Test level. Clarke’s best of 6 for 9 came in Mumbai in 2004 but troubles with his back have limited his left-arm spin in the recent past. Offspinner North recently delivered a match-winning performance with the ball, against Pakistan at Lord’s, while Katich, who bowls left-arm chinaman, has career-best figures of 6 for 65.”I think more people get enjoyment out of watching me bowl than bat,” Katich said. “But now we need an even spread of contributors. The spinners have a big workload here. I was bowling for about three or four weeks before we came over, preparing myself to help out.”

West Ham: Romano drops Rice update

West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice has turned down a third contract offer from the Hammers.

What’s the story?

That’s according to transfers expert Fabrizio Romano, who tweeted: “Declan Rice has turned down third contract offer at West Ham. There’s still no agreement – Rice has always been committed, but he’s now open to a move this summer. West Ham insist he’s untouchable as David Moyes said – but Declan Rice won’t sign a new deal.”

The 23-year-old is a major asset for David Moyes’ side but now, according to The Mirror, is a target for both Chelsea and Manchester United ahead of a potential summer departure.

Moyes will be fuming

Rice has been subject to heavy speculation for the best part of a year now and the latest update on the Englishman’s future is sure to have left David Moyes fuming.

The 29-cap England star has seriously impressed over the last two seasons with the midfielder being a kingpin for the Irons’ push towards a top-six finish in the Premier League last term, as well as this campaign’s road to the semi-finals of the Europa League.

In that time, the 23-year-old has made 78 appearances for West Ham in all competitions which has seen him promoted to being an England regular, having played in every match of the Three Lions’ run to the final of last summer’s European Championship.

Having now established himself as one of Europe’s most exciting deep-lying midfielders, Moyes stated earlier this month that it will take more than £150m to lure Rice away from east London.

According to SofaScore, the defensive midfielder is the Hammers’ top performer this season with an average match rating of 7.2 in the league.

West Ham’s maestro, who takes the captain’s armband when Mark Noble isn’t on the pitch, averages 74 touches per game as well as producing 0.8 key passes with a sensational 92% passing accuracy.

Moreover, the 23-year-old makes 1.7 interceptions per match, as well as 2.2 tackles and 1.2 clearances, making him a colossus in the middle of the park.

Having come through the youth ranks at the east London outfit, having been released by Chelsea at 14, Rice has quickly become a sensation at the London Stadium ever since making his Hammers debut as an 18-year-old against Burnley in May 2017.

Now, 187 appearances later, the Englishman is West Ham’s most valuable possession, and the prospect of him departing east London this summer will undoubtedly have Hammers supporters sweating.

Sammy ready for Sri Lanka challenge

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said his team is prepared to face the challenges posed by Sri Lanka ahead of the first Test starting at Galle on Monday

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said his team is prepared to face the challenges posed by Sri Lanka ahead of the first Test at Galle starting on Monday.”Sri Lanka is a place where lots of runs have been scored. If you look at the last few series played here, the batsmen have scored the runs. It looks like a very good wicket. In Sri Lanka the ball also spins so we have to take that into account and plan accordingly,” said Sammy who will be making his debut as West Indies Test captain.He was disappointed that West Indies were denied much-needed practice out of the three-day game which was washed out by bad weather after the first day, but added, “We put in some good work coming from Barbados and even the opportunities we have got here to practice our guys have worked hard. We are ready to go out there and face the challenges Sri Lankans pose.”Sammy felt the presence of Chris Gayle and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the only two members of his team to have played Tests in Sri Lanka, gave his side important experience. “They have played here before and we are sharing information and getting as much information as possible to compete well in this series.”We want to play according to our strength. The management and coaching staff will meet and we’ll select the best team to pose a challenge to Sri Lanka,” Sammy said. “I am not predicting anything, our guys are confident and they know the task ahead.”It’s not easy to beat Sri Lanka here. Not only West Indies but most teams find it. We are confident that if we put in hard work we can be consistent in our performance. Like you saw Sri Lanka just won in Australia and they’ve never won in Australia. It’s a motivation for our guys to come up with some consistent performances.”Sammy said that it was a massive honour for him to captain West Indies. “West Indies cricket carries a great history and a legacy. To lead any West Indies team is exciting. I know the players and they have prepared mentally and physically to take up the challenge. We are quite excited and looking forward for tomorrow.”

Liverpool plot move for Declan Rice

Liverpool are plotting a summer move for West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice, and he could make the perfect partner for Fabinho.

What’s the story?

According to journalist Dean Jones (via GIVEMESPORT) Liverpool are ‘going to be interested’ in Rice when the transfer window opens this summer.

He said: “Of course, they’re going to be interested in Declan Rice because if Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have had that player on their radar, then you kind of at least have got to consider whether you’re going to need him.”

[snack-amp-story url=”https://www.footballfancast.com/web-stories/read-the-latest-liverpool-news-transfer-rumours-gossip-salah-gnabry-isak-romano” title= “Read the latest Liverpool news!”]

They are among a number of Premier League clubs who are interested in signing the Englishman to bolster their options in the middle of the park.

The report says that Rice has recently turned down a contract offer at the London Stadium and would be open to a move. However, his contract doesn’t expire for another two years, and the Hammers are said to have the option to extend that by a further year, so he would fetch a high price. The Daily Mail have reported that the club would be asking for a British record £150m fee for him.

Imagine him and Fabinho

Although Liverpool supporters shouldn’t get too excited as they will face stiff competition for his signature, he would be the perfect signing for them and would partner Fabinho extremely well.

Earlier this month it was reported by Football Insider that Jurgen Klopp has his sights set on signing a ‘world-class’ midfielder, and that Rice was on the list of options. With Jones now confirming this, he may be the Reds’ priority, especially when you consider that he’s been described as “world-class” already by reporter Toby Cudworth and many others.

He has been key for West Ham in the league this season appearing 32 times with one goal and four assists from defensive midfield. He also often captains the side when Mark Noble isn’t playing, so has great leadership qualities as well.

The England international ranks in the top 3% amongst Premier League midfielders this season when it comes to his pass completion percentage and the top 2% for interceptions.

Liverpool already have two incredible midfielders in Thiago and Fabinho, if they added a third the team would be complete with a stellar player in every position.

Klopp is famous for the constant pressure he likes his teams to put on their opponent, and Rice would fit perfectly into that. His percentage when it comes to successful pressing this season is 33% which is almost identical to Fabinho’s 32%.

The fact he came through the youth setup at Chelsea may well have an impact on which club he ends up moving to, but the chance to win with Liverpool and play under Klopp must be an attractive option.

Everton player ratings vs Liverpool

Despite the spirit shown by Everton in the Merseyside derby, they still ran out 2-0 losers away to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Andy Robertson and Divock Origi came up with the goals which eventually broke the Toffees’ resistance in the second half, and The Transfer Tavern have used statistical experts SofaScore to analyse who the three worst performers (to have played at least 45 minutes) were for Everton on the day:

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/everton-news-4/” title=”Everton news!” poster=”” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

Michael Keane (6.6)

Admittedly tied with both Demarai Gray and Anthony Gordon here in terms of rating (6.6), Keane ranks in third here given that the former did not complete the full 90 minutes and the latter showed some promise going forward.

Keane made just one tackle and failed to block any shots on the Everton goal, while his 31 touches were fewer than any outfield Liverpool starter managed. He was also guilty of giving the ball away 12 times, the fifth-most out of his teammates.

Jordan Pickford (6.4)

After conceding two goals, goalkeeper Pickford was given a 6.4 overall rating.

The England international gave away possession cheaply on no fewer than 15 separate occasions from his 26 touches, and he only made two saves in total.

Mason Holgate (6.3)

With a 6.3 rating given, Holgate ranked as the Toffees’ worst player on the day.

The defender lost out on two of his duels and failed to record any interceptions or tackles, also losing possession six times from his mere 16 touches of the ball.

Reserva do São Paulo sugere diálogo a Aguirre: 'Grupo está bem motivado'

MatériaMais Notícias

Aderllan esteve em apenas cinco jogos do São Paulo desde sua chegada ao clube, em julho. Mas o zagueiro é exaltado internamente pelo recorrente esforço em manter um bom ambiente mesmo pouco entrando em campo. E avisa a Diego Aguirre que encontrará um grupo motivado, mas que o melhor caminho para ter bons resultados é o diálogo.

– A nova comissão técnica, comandada por Diego Aguirre, vai encontrar um grupo muito motivado. Todos querem o melhor para o São Paulo. Vamos procurar conversar bastante para nos entendermos o mais rápido possível. O caminho agora é o diálogo. Aguirre é um treinador experiente e terá total Apodi do elenco – disse Aderllan ao LANCE!

Emprestado pelo Valencia até o final do ano, o zagueiro recebeu a chance de ser titular na vitória por 3 a 1 sobre o Red Bull, no Morumbi, no domingo, aproveitando o pedido do próprio Aguirre ao técnico interino André Jardine para poupar Rodrigo Caio. Mas Aderllan não reclama pelas raras oportunidades que recebe diante da concorrência não só com Rodrigo Caio, mas também com Arboleda e Bruno Alves.

– Estou muito feliz pela oportunidade de iniciar a partida como titular e também pela confiança que todos estão me passando desde a minha chegada. Tenho trabalhado muito para conquistar meu espaço na equipe e ter uma sequência no time titular. O mais importante é que o grupo é unido e todos torcem uns pelos outros. Quem estiver bem, vai jogar e ajudar o São Paulo a conquistar seus objetivos na temporada – comentou.

– Agora é pensar no CRB. Vamos ter um jogo complicado contra eles no Rei Pelé. Vamos procurar fazer um jogo de muita intensidade para conquistarmos a vaga na terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. Esse é o foco de todos aqui – completou Aderllan, já de olho na partida desta quarta-feira, em Alagoas, na qual o Tricolor defende a vantagem da vitória por 2 a 0 na ida, no Morumbi.

Em Maceió, André Jardine segue à frente do time enquanto Diego Aguirre acerta seu visto de trabalho. A expectativa é de que o uruguaio estreie nas quartas de final do Campeonato Paulista, contra o São Caetano, mas ele estará em Alagoas para ver a partida desta quarta-feira.
