ESPNcricinfo staff24-Sep-2021Experienced uncapped English allrounder Eve Jones has signed with Melbourne Renegades for the upcoming BBL season.Jones, 29, has not played international cricket but is coming off an outstanding domestic season. She was the leading runscorer in the T20 Charlotte Edwards Cup for Central Sparks, scoring 276 runs at 55.20 with three half-centuries in six innings. She’s also the second-leading scoring in the 50-over Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy including an unbeaten century and was fourth on the runs tally for Birmingham Pheonix in the Hundred.Related

“I’m absolutely delighted to be playing for the Renegades,” Jones said. “Playing in the WBBL is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and I’m really excited to have that opportunity.”I’ve watched the Big Bash on the TV for a number of years now. It looks like a fantastic competition – it’s a big stage, there’s world-class players and there’s so much support behind it.”New Renegades WBBL coach Simon Helmot believes Jones could be more than handy with the ball as well.”She adds to the strength of our batting group, provides a left-arm bowling option, and brings leadership experience,” Helmot said.”Eve has had an exceptional domestic summer in the UK, where she has performed consistently and compiled an enormous amount of runs.”
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been handed an injury boost ahead of his side's all-important north London derby clash away to Tottenham this weekend.
Arteta dealt Arsenal selection headache with key players absent
Following the international break, Arsenal return to action imminently, with Arteta and the squad preparing to face-off against their fierce cross-city rivals on Sunday.

The manager will be very keen to get back to winning ways after agreeing to a new three year deal at the Emirates to extend his stay until 2027, but he faces mounting obstacles to overcome in his preparation for a tough trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Star midfielder Declan Rice is a confirmed absentee against Spurs through suspension, having controversially been sent off against Brighton for two bookable offences, with fellow midfielder and summer signing Mikel Merino also set to miss Tottenham as he is out for nearly two months with a shoulder injury.

Arsenal's shortage in that area means Arteta is reportedly planning to drop Kai Havertz back into midfield, with new arrival Raheem Sterling a candidate to play their false-nine role in the German's stead.
If absences for Merino and Rice weren't bad enough for the Gunners, defender Riccardo Calafiori is a real doubt for the North London Derby as well, after the centre-back sustained a calf injury during Italy's 3-1 UEFA Nations League win over France.
The most worrying injury blow, though, has come in the form of club captain Martin Odegaard. The Norway star was forced off in his country's 2-1 win over Austria on Monday, and needed medical staff to assist him in walking off the pitch as he couldn't bear weight on his ankle.
The 25-year-old has since returned to Arsenal, and was pictured boarding a plane to London on crutches. Reports in England have now shared that Odegaard is expected to be out for at least three weeks, dealing a hammer blow to Arteta as he gears up for crucial fixtures against Tottenham, Atalanta in the Champions League and Man City away.
Arteta handed Arsenal injury boost as Gabriel Jesus returns
Journalist John Cross, in a piece for The Mirror this week, has shared some much-needed good news out of London Colney – with £265,000-per-week striker Gabriel Jesus looking ready to be available for selection.
As per their information, Jesus could be set to return from injury for Arsenal against Tottenham, so Arteta will at least have the Brazil international to call upon in the wake of his many casualties this weekend.
The former Man City star has played just five Premier League minutes so far this season, which came during Arsenal's 2-0 opening weekend victory over Wolves, missing their last two top flight games with a groin injury.
Jesus' experience and quality will be a real asset for Arteta, as the head coach ponders how best to set up his team against Ange Postecoglou's Lilywhites.

Celtic’s faultless start to the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership campaign continued on Saturday with a comfortable 2-0 win over Hearts at Parkhead.
The Hoops have now won all five of their matches in the division, without conceding a single goal, after goals from new signings Arne Engels and Luke McCowan.
Despite the win, there were some underwhelming performers on the pitch for the Scottish giants and one of them was centre-forward Kyogo Furuhashi, who endured a difficult afternoon – losing 100% of his duels and leaving the pitch with no meaningful contributions.
FFC have urged Brendan Rodgers to finally ditch the Japan international from the starting XI and that would present Adam Idah with a chance to prove his worth.
Celtic splashed out a fee of £8.5m, which could rise to £9.5m with add-ons, to sign the Ireland international from Norwich City on a permanent deal, after his loan spell last term.
The Bhoys will be hoping that it turns out to be a profitable investment on the 23-year-old striker, as they have not always had the best of luck when spending big on new centre-forwards.
One number nine the club had a howler with initially was Patryk Klimala, who struggled at Parkhead before the club later hit the jackpot with him.
How much Celitc paid for Patryk Klimala
Back in January 2020, Celtic reportedly agreed a fee of around £3.5m to sign the 21-year-old marksman from Polish outfit Jagiellonia Białystok.
It was claimed at the time that Neil Lennon had identified the forward as a top target during the January transfer window, and that the Hoops had beaten Danish giants Copenhagen to his signature.
They activated a €4m release clause in his contract with the Polish side, which allowed them to secure his services for £3.5m, as Lennon viewed him as a strike partner for Odsonne Edouard.
Former Celtic striker Patryk Klimala.
He had come up through the youth ranks with Jagiellonia Białystok, where he scored a stunning 17 goals in nine U19 matches, before emerging as a first-team option.
Klimala scored 11 goals in 50 senior outings for the club, including seven goals in 17 league games during the first half of the 2019/20 campaign, and this shows that Celtic were buying him for his potential.
The 21-year-old striker did not arrive at Parkhead with a proven track record of scoring goals and that made the £3.5m spent on him a significant gamble by the Scottish giants.
Unfortunately, it was not a gamble that paid off for Celitc on the pitch as the Polish marksman went on to struggle throughout his time on the field for the Hoops.
Patryk Klimala's Celtic career
The young striker only made four appearances in all competitions for the Bhoys during the second half of the 2019/20 campaign, and failed to find the back of the net.
After his return of seven goals and three assists in 17 Extraklasa matches during the first half of the season, the forward did not record a single goal or assist in his two outings in the Scottish Premiership.
Former Celtic striker Patryk Klimala.
Klimala was then offered more opportunities to showcase his qualities in Glasgow during his first full season at the club, in the 2020/21 campaign.
The Poland U21 international played 24 matches in all competitions for the Hoops but only contributed with three and zero assists for the Bhoys.

As you can see in the table above, Klimala struggled at the top end of the pitch in the Premiership, with five ‘big chances’ missed and zero assists to go along with his three goals in 17 games.
The centre-forward only completed 68% of his attempted passes, completing 2.5 per game on average, as he struggled to handle the step up in quality in Scotland.
By April of that season, Celtic decided to part ways with the striker and, surprisingly, they were able to recoup all of the money they paid for him.
MLS side New York Red Bulls swooped in to sign the young attacker for a reported fee of $4.8m (£3.5m), per Sky Sports journalist Anthony Joseph, and the Hoops hit the jackpot with that sale, based on his decline since then.
Where Patryk Klimala is now
At the time of writing (16/09/2024), Klimala is on loan at Sydney FC in Australia, having joined them earlier this month, after being allowed to leave on a temporary basis by Slask Wroclaw.
Transfermarkt currently has his market value at a staggeringly low €600k (£500k), which is a significant drop-off from the £3.5m Celtic sold him for, at the age of 26.
The Polish striker enjoyed a solid, if unspectacular, time in the Big Apple after his move from Glasgow, with a return of 14 goals and 11 assists in 63 matches in all competitions.
He then spent a year with Hapoel Beer Sheva, from January 2023 to January 2024, and only managed four goals in 23 appearances for the club before being allowed to join Slask Wroclaw on a free transfer at the start of this year.

As you can see in the table above, Klimala endured a frustrating time in the Polish top-flight for Wroclaw during the second half of the 2023/24 campaign, with zero goals and four ‘big chances’ missed in 11 matches.
The 26-year-old former Celtic flop was then dropped down to the second team for the start of this season and scored four goals in four games in the fourth tier before being sent out on loan to Australia.
Overall, this shows that the Hoops hit the jackpot when they sold their big flop for a fee of £3.5m as his career has gone downhill since moving on from Glasgow, as shown by his faltering form and his plummeting market value.

Klimala should be in the prime years of his career, at 26, but is, instead, struggling and moving from club-to-club to find his form, which shows that Celtic struck gold by raking in £3.5m for him.
A "top class" Rangers player who Jurgen Klopp has spoken of his admiration for has been linked with a late loan move away from Ibrox this summer.
Rangers transfer news
The Gers are running out of time to do any fresh transfer business in the current transfer window, although Philippe Clement may already be content with the squad that he has built in recent months. A host of new faces have arrived, providing him with the additional depth that was needed to close the gap on Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, but further additions still can't be ruled out.
Rangers have been backed to make a late swoop for Fiorentina winger Josip Brekalo, providing Clement with an extra wide option, having scored seven goals in Serie A during his time at Torino back in 2021/22. Tiago Gouveia is another winger who has been linked with a summer switch to Ibrox before the end of the week, with the 23-year-old currently plying trade at Benfica.
There is still some hope of the Gers completing the signing of young Norwich City striker Abu Kamara, with the attacking ace even described as "unplayable" by Colby Bishop in the past.
At the other end of the pitch, Troyes centre-back Jackson Porozo had reportedly been the subject of contact from Rangers, but their chances of snapping him have been and gone, with the demands "not suitable". Now, another outgoing piece of Gers transfer business has been mooted.
"Top class" Rangers player could depart
According to a new update from Football Insider, Rangers youngster Leon King is wanted by League Two side Salford City this summer, with a loan move mooted and the Gers "open" to him leaving".
It is stated that the "highly-rated centre-back" has "tumbled down the pecking order" at Ibrox of late, so a temporary move elsewhere could be best for the 20-year-old's development.
Glasgow Rangers defender Leon King.
A loan move away for King sounds like the ideal option at this point in his career, considering he isn't seen as a key player by Clement currently, as the report alludes to. The young defender is a talent, though, and could benefit from a spell in the English game, honing his trade and growing as a footballer in the process.
None other than legendary former Liverpool manager Klopp spoke of his admiration for him after a Champions League meeting back in 2022, while Rory Wilson has said of him:
"Leon and Alex are both top class and you can see the quality they both have. Leon just takes everything in his stride. "He's a top player who handles it brilliantly."
Prso 2.0: Rangers could make late move for exciting £34k-p/w star
Rangers need another one or two signings to bolster their squad before the window closes
ByRoss Kilvington Aug 27, 2024
King could benefit from a season at Salford, assuming a move does go through, before returning to Rangers this time next year with more experience, pushing for more regular starts in the process. He has already made 37 appearances for the club, showing that he can hold his own, and it is now a case of finding another gear and reaching his undoubted potential.
Liverpool are yet to spend a penny this summer, which is perhaps surprising given they have a new manager. Arne Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp last summer, and whilst he has got off to the perfect start on the pitch, with two wins from two, his side have not yet signed anyone.
However, with mere hours left of the window, that could all change for the Dutchman. The Reds are believed to be pursuing one player who could add strength and depth in attack.
Liverpool target Serie A winger
The player in question here is Juventus and Italy international winger Federico Chiesa. As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the Merseysiders are close to agreeing personal terms with the player, with a "four-year contract ready" following talks earlier this week.
Juventus winger Federico Chiesa
This comes after David Ornstein broke the news that the winger could move to Anfield for a remarkably low fee of around £13m, with Romano adding that an agreement still needs to be reached over the official price tag.
Why Chiesa would be a good signing
Last season for the Turin outfit, the 26-year-old winger featured 33 times in Serie A, scoring nine times and registering three assists. He also scored once in four Italian Cup appearances, as Juve went on to lift the trophy.
In the Serie A in 2023/24, the former Fiorentina attacker was second in the charts for most combined goals and assists as per Sofascore. His 11 goal involvements were only beaten by Dusan Vlahovic, who scored and assisted 20 times.
His 11 goal contributions in the top flight last term would have placed him fourth amongst the Liverpool players, behind five others including three players who got 13 goals and assists. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mohamed Salah came out on top, with 28, according to Sofascore
One of the players who ranked above him on that list, coming in second place, was Darwin Nunez. The Uruguayan has struggled to hit the ground running since his initial £64m move from Benfica, having scored 33 goals in 97 games for Liverpool.
Recently, the 25-year-old has been linked with a move away from Anfield, with Premier League rivals Arsenal believed to be the club considering a potential deal. The Reds could well be lining the Juve attacker up as a replacement for the former Benfica attacker.
Under Klopp, Nunez proved to be a handy utility man, capable of playing on the left wing or at centre-forward. It is safe to assume Slot would utilise this too, so if they sold their club-record signing before Friday’s deadline, they might well want to replace this versatility.
Darwin Nunez and Jurgen Klopp
Luckily for the Merseysiders, the Juve number seven is one of Europe’s most versatile attackers, something he has proven throughout his time wearing the famous black and white stripes of the Old Lady.

Even if the Reds do keep hold of their Uruguayan number nine past the close of the window, it could be bad news for the 25-year-old. There is every argument to say the Italy international is a direct replacement for him, given his versatility and similar record in front of goal.
With Nunez already finding himself on the bench in the early weeks of the season, a further attacking addition could spell even more trouble for the towering marksman and his hopes of truly catching fire at Anfield.
Federico Chiesa
Chiesa was described as a “galactico” by football analyst Ben Mattinson, and it is certainly easy to see why. Although he struggled last term, he is an enterprising and versatile attacker, who could be the dream replacement in Slot’s squad for Nunez.
Liverpool hit gold on Klopp signing worth nearly 5x more than Chiesa
He’s had his detractors but he sure is the real deal…
The series has moved from the east of the country to the west but India’s situation remains the same: they have to win the next match to stay alive.They’ve been buoyed by their biggest T20I win over South Africa on Tuesday, which could have been even bigger had their middle order not fallen away. Despite that, India will be pleased with the performance of their opening pair, who shared in their highest first-wicket stand against South Africa, and their attack, who challenged South Africa for the first time in the series.Bhuvneshwar Kumar, in particular, has been outstanding up front, moving the ball both ways and causing problems for a struggling South African opening pair. They’ve managed stands of 22, 5 and 23 and will want to be able to get off to better starts as South Africa fine-tune their batting combination. Their middle-order batters have made up for what the top two have lacked but will be disappointed with their lack of fight, and especially the hold Yuzvendra Chahal had over them in Visakhapatnam, where India’s spinners had their first real say of the series. South Africa’s have yet to do the same.On pitches that have been described as tricky for batting, the seam bowlers and their variations have been the biggest talking point, and wicket-taking has been dominated by India. Bhuvneshwar and Harshal Patel lead the bowling charts followed by Chahal and Dwaine Pretorius. South Africa’s biggest name, Kagiso Rabada, has been used more in a containing role while Anrich Nortje is still finding his feet after a lengthy injury layoff. Both will want to have more of an impact before the end of the series,An India batter is also atop the batting charts. Ishan Kishan has scored the most runs so far followed by a rejuvenated Heinrich Klaasen, and both are perhaps unexpected heroes. This pair have the opportunity to make themselves indispensable for their teams in the immediate future, especially with the series on the line.

In the spotlight
His comeback since returning from a Kolpak deal has gone mostly under the radar but Wayne Parnell has put in some quietly impressive performances as he makes a claim for a T20 World Cup spot. He opened the bowling in the second match and was South Africa’s second-most economical bowler with a return of 1 for 23 in four overs and batted for the first time in the third match, where he scored an unbeaten 18-ball 22. With South Africa’s combination accommodating two seam-bowling allrounders at the moment, and Dwaine Pretorius establishing himself as a top-order pinch-hitter, Parnell has an opportunity to make the lower-order finisher’s job his.Shreyas Iyer has got starts in every match but may not yet have done enough to keep his place when Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav return. In the first and second match, he was undone by Dwaine Pretorius’ slower ball and in the third, didn’t time his sweep well enough to clear Anrich Nortje. After the first match, Wasim Jaffer and Dale Steyn said Iyer needed to work on his attacking strokeplay against pace, and the numbers agree. In this series, Iyer has scored 38 runs off 46 deliveries bowled by pace bowlers, including two fours and a six, and 52 runs off 27 balls bowled by spinners, including one four and six sixes. His strike rate against pace is 82.60 and more than double that against spin, 192.59.Quinton de Kock batted in the nets on Thursday and could be fit to return to South Africa’s XI•AFP/Getty Images
Team news
India have used the same combination in all three matches so far, and it worked for them in the third match. They’re unlikely to tinker with a winning formula, which could mean a longer wait for Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh to make their debuts.India (possible): 1 Ishan Kishan, 2 Ruturaj Gaikwad, 3 Shreyas Iyer, 4 Rishabh Pant (capt & wk), 5 Hardik Pandya, 6 Dinesh Karthik, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Harshal Patel, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal.Aiden Markram has left India after serving his seven-day quarantine after contracting Covid-19 on June 8. He will not have enough time to complete his return-to-play program before the end of the series. South Africa are also waiting on the fitness of Quinton de Kock, who injured his wrist before the second match, but batted in the nets on Thursday. Given the low strike-rates of the opening pair, de Kock is likely to replace Reeza Hendricks if he’s fit.South Africa (possible): 1 Quinton de Kock/Reeza Hendricks, 2 Temba Bavuma (capt), 3 Rassie van der Dussen, 4 David Miller, 5 Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 6 Dwaine Pretorius, 7 Wayne Parnell, 8 Kagiso Rabada, 9 Keshav Maharaj, 10 Anrich Nortje, 11 Tabraiz Shamsi.
Pitch and conditions
The pitch at the SCA Stadium in Rajkot is usually full of runs. India chased down 202 in the first T20I played at this venue, back in 2013, while New Zealand defended 196 here in 2017. India successfully chased 154 against Bangladesh in the most recent match here, in 2019, reaching their target with more than four overs to spare. There could be some relief from the weather gods, with cooler temperatures on this side of the country and less humidity.
Stats and trivia
South Africa have outdone India significantly in the 11th-16th-over phase during this series, scoring at 11.00 per over while restricting the hosts to a run rate of 7.72 in the same phase. South Africa have only lost three wickets in this phase through the series, while India have lost six.
But South Africa have struggled in the powerplay, losing six wickets across the three matches while only going at a run rate of 7.11. India have done a lot better, going at 8.33 while losing just the one wicket.
Quotes
“We’re not expecting things to happen. We know we have to play well, and that’s what we did in the first two games. I don’t think you guys were thinking we were going to come here and win the series 5-0 just because all the big-name players aren’t here. That’s a good Indian team. I’d be foolish to change our approach after one loss.” “Weather plays a big role in how a pitch plays. So we will assess the pitch and conditions tomorrow and see what the par score could be. If we are defending, we will have an idea, having batted first, which areas to bowl at.”
Ao olhar o placar de 4 a 0 no agregado da semifinal da Libertadores, o torcedor que não acompanhou as partidas entre Flamengo e Barcelona (EQU) pode ter a impressão que o time de Renato Gaúcho teve vida fácil. Por outro lado, as intervenções de Diego Alves – tanto no Maracanã quanto no Monumental – dão melhor a medida do que foi o confronto. Foram 12 defesas, sendo quatro de nível difícil, que deram ao camisa 1 papel decisivo na classificação para a final.

Protagonismo que Diego Alves está acostumado e certamente levará para a decisão contra o Palmeiras, em jogo único no Centenario, em 27 de novembro.
Um dos capitães do Flamengo, Diego Alves teve papel de destaque nas conquistas do clube, como na Libertadores e Brasileirão de 2019 e Supercopa do Brasil de 2021. Contudo, também oscilou, principalmente por conta de lesões em 2020, e viveu uma “novela” até sua renovação no fim do último ano. Seu atual vínculo, agora, se aproxima do fim: é válido até 31 de dezembro.
Em quatro edições da Libertadores, Diego Alves foi titular em todas 17 partidas mata-matas do Flamengo na Copa (oito fases e a final em jogo único de 2019).
Foram apenas dois confrontos perdidos pelo clube neste período: Cruzeiro, nas oitavas de final de 2018 (derrota por 2 a 0, fora, e vitória por 1 a 0, em casa), e Racing (ARG), nas oitavas de final de 2020 (nos pênaltis após empates em 1 a 1).
O goleiro Diego Alves não foi vazado em sete das 17 partidas em questão. Em outros oito jogos sofreu um gol. Ou seja, apenas contra Emelec, no Equador em 2019, e diante do Cruzeiro, em Belo Horizonte em 2018, foi vazado duas vezes.
Somadas as participações em torneios nacionais e internacionais desde 2017, Diego Alves participou de 23 confrontos eliminatórios. O retrospecto é positivo: 18 classificações ou títulos (sete na Libertadores, cinco na Copa do Brasil, dois na Supercopa do Brasil, três na Sul-Americana e um na Recopa Sul-Americana).
As desclassificações foram na Libertadores, como citado acima, e na Copa do Brasil contra o São Paulo, em 2020, Athletico, em 2019 e Corinthians, em 2018.
Na final da Sul-Americana, em 2017, o goleiro estava lesionado e não atuou nos dois jogos, sendo substituído por César. O Independiente conquistou o título.
Paul Farbrace is in line to coach the Bangla Tigers in the T10 League in Abu Dhabi in early 2021.Farbrace, who is currently Warwickshire’s sporting director, is yet to sign a contract but has been approached by the franchise and confirmed his interest in the role to ESPNcricinfo. The T10 League will run from January 28 to February 6 in Abu Dhabi, and Farbrace’s involvement is subject to approval from the county.While it would be unusual for a county’s director of cricket to coach in a franchise league, Farbrace hopes that the experience can be mutually beneficial for him and Warwickshire. His involvement could pave the way for some of the county’s best young white-ball players, like Adam Hose and Ed Pollock, to join him at the Tigers, while he also hopes to expand his contact book while searching for potential overseas signings for next year’s T20 Blast.Related

The transfer window opened just over four weeks ago, and after a slow start and a lack of exciting deals, it's starting to heat up.
It's no different for Tottenham Hotspur, who made their first permanent addition to Ange Postecoglou's team last week when they spent £30m on signing Leeds United wonderkid, Archie Gray.
It was a surprise to see the Lilywhites go so big on a young and exciting prospect, but based on recent reports, they could be set to do it again for another up-and-coming superstar this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur transfer news
According to a recent report from journalist Ben Jacobs via his show on Playback, Tottenham are one of several sides interested in Stade Rennais' young prodigy, Desire Doue.
Rennes midfielder Desire Doue
Alongside the Lilywhites, Jacobs claims that Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich are keen to sign the player this summer, but it is the North Londoners who are "really starting to move."
A separate report from the MailOnline in May revealed that it will cost Daniel Levy and Co around £35m to prise the talented Frenchman away from the Ligue 1 outfit this summer.
It would be an eye-watering amount to spend on a 19-year-old prospect, but as with the Gray transfer, it could prove to be an absolute bargain in the long run.
Spurs could repeat their Gray masterclass
Now, while Gray and Doue are different sorts of players, there are a couple of things they have in common.
The first is that they've made less than 100 senior appearances in their career, with the Englishman making 52 thus far and the "special" Frenchman, as dubbed by data analyst Ben Mattinson, making 76 to date.
This highlights just how raw they are and perhaps serves as a warning for fans not to expect the world from them right away.

The second similarity is that they've already shown an element of versatility in their short careers.
For example, the former Peacocks gem played much of last season as a right-back, but he's also started as a defensive, attacking, and central midfielder and was even being described by Mattinson as a "future £100m" midfielder.

Likewise, the Angers-born "entertainer", as dubbed by Mattinson, has started everywhere for Rennais, including central and attacking midfield, left and right midfield, striker and second striker and on both wings, which may well be music to Postecoglou's ears.
Lastly, alongside their similar price tags, they are incredibly highly rated by those in the know.
Mattinson described Gray as a player who "ticks every box", and Rennais midfielder Baptiste Santamaria described his teammate as "the most gifted youngster I've seen in my career."
Ultimately, there is always a risk in signing a young player like Doue, but with his impressive showings over the last year or so, the interest he has garnered from some of the biggest clubs in the world and the way those in the know speak about him, Spurs look like they could get their hands on an incredible prospect to go alongside the one they signed from Leeds last week.
