The dismissal of three batsmen between the 30th and 33rd overs turned the course of the match and was a major cause of Sri Lanka’s three-wicket defeat to Australia in the first ODI according to Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews

Andrew Fidel Fernando in Colombo21-Aug-2016The dismissal of three batsmen between the 30th and 33rd overs turned the course of the match and was a major cause of Sri Lanka’s three-wicket defeat to Australia in the first ODI according to Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews.Mathews himself had lost his wicket in that period, miscuing a James Faulkner ball to backward point, where he was brilliantly caught. His wicket was the second in a double-wicket maiden, and Mitchell Starc would soon strike to dismiss Dhananjaya de Silva as well. Having been 124 for 2, Sri Lanka slipped to 132 for 5, and the innings never really recovered.”We were going pretty well at one point,” Mathews said. “But straight after Kusal Mendis got out, I got out, and then Dhananjaya got out. I thought that was a bit of a turning point. We needed a partnership with Dinesh Chandimal. Either me or Dhananjaya had to set it up for Thisara Perera and Milinda Siriwardana to go out there in the 43rd or 44th over and get those quick runs. It wasn’t easy to get quick runs. The boundaries were 80 or 85 yards away. We needed to be scrappy, but unfortunately we were short 20 or 30 runs.”The dry state of pitches has been a cause of mild controversy so far in this Australia tour, and the Khettarama surface for this match was criticised – both by Aaron Finch, who labeled it a “poor pitch”, but also by Mathews, who delivered a milder censure. Balls were seen to disturb the surface early in the match, and virtually every ball was raising dust by the finish. It was Australia’s seamers, who through a variety of slower balls, used the conditions better on this occasion.”The pitch was a bit too dry I thought,” Mathews said. “It was hard work for the batters. It was stopping and gripping for the seamers’ slower ones, and it was turning square. With this kind of weather we knew it was going to turn, but it was a bit too dry. It’s that type of wicket that Australia’s seamers will also come into play with their variations.”Among those extracting dramatic turn from the surface was debutant left-arm spinner Amila Aponso, who spun several deliveries so sharply it wound up in the hands of Mathews at slip. He consistently threatened the outside edge of Australia’s right-handers, and finished with figures of 1 for 27 from his 10 overs. He was by a distance the most economical Sri Lanka bowler.”I thought Amila bowled the best out of the lot,” said Mathews, who used five slow bowlers in the match. “Dilruwan Perera was steady, but the way Amila bowled was fantastic. This is actually the first time I’m seeing him. He bowled extremely well and I’m very pleased.”Mathews said Aaron Finch, who hit seven fours and two sixes to make 56 from 46 balls, had set up the chase for Australia.”He got a lot of runs against the new ball, and that would have been his plan, because when the ball gets a bit older – after 10 overs – it is not easy on this track. With the fielding restrictions and two men out of the ring, he scored quickly and fearlessly against our spinners.”

كشف هيرفي رينارد المدير الفني لمنتخب فرنسا للسيدات عن موقف الاتحاد الفرنسي لكرة القدم، من إعارة المدير الفني لمنتخب فرنسا للسيدات، إلى منتخب كوت ديفوار.

وأشارت تقارير في وقت سابق، إلى تواصل مسؤولي الاتحاد الإيفواري مع نظرائهم في فرنسا لطلب التعاقد مع رينارد على سبيل الإعارة لتولي منصب المدير الفني لمنتخب كوت ديفوار لحين نهاية بطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا.

وقال رينارد في تصريحاته لقناة “كانال بلس”: “المفاوضات لم تنته بشكل إيجابي، لأنه لم يكن ينبغي أن يحدث ذلك، كنت سأحب الأمر لكن القدر اختار غير ذلك”.

وتأهلت كوت ديفوار في نهاية المطاف إلى دور الـ 16 لبطولة كأس أمم إفريقيا، يوم الأربعاء، بعد إقالة المدير الفني جان لويس جاسيت، وجاء التأهل بفضل فوز المغرب على زامبيا.

ومن المرجح أن يبقى المدرب المؤقت إيمرس فاي مدرباً لمنتخب كوت ديفوار في المباراة ضد حامل اللقب السنغال يوم الاثنين.

الجدير بالذكر أن رينارد سبق وتولى تدريب منتخب كوت ديفوار وقادهم للتويج باللقب في عام 2015.

Manchester United will be seeking to pile the pressure onto Tottenham Hotspur by adding another embarrassing defeat to their recent results.

With a new man in the dugout, as Daniel Levy scrambles for something to ease his issues, there is little expected to change in the four days since their 6-1 mauling at the hands of Newcastle United now that Ryan Mason is in charge.

Meanwhile, the Red Devils have just booked their place in a second cup final of the season and will seek to solidify their spot in the top four with a win today against the vulnerable hosts.

The returning Spurs team will surely be greeted with disdain from the home support after such a performance, in which the players were forced to reimburse fans who had travelled. They were defensively anonymous, and whether it was down to the formation or not, the attitude throughout the whole squad was so toxic.

Of those who started for the Lilywhites, few stood out quite like Eric Dier for being a defensive liability. His 5.9 rating gave way to a 75% pass accuracy, as the versatile dud made just two tackles, via Sofascore.

However, that is not a new development, with the 29-year-old having played 358 games for the club, despite pundit Frank McAvennie claiming he was "awful" and "not good enough" back in 2021.

It seems the England defender remains around the starting squad regardless of form, so Erik ten Hag could seek to exploit this glaring weakness by unleashing the hulking Wout Weghorst on the Spurs liability.

How has Wout Weghorst played this season?

Having spent 120 minutes battling for a first goal that never came, it was not a day for the strikers on the weekend at Wembley. A 19-minute cameo for the Dutch forward only really allowed him to take a penalty in the shootout, which he scored, however, he always captures the imagination for his immense work rate despite his 6 foot 6 frame.

This combination of tireless pressing, which actually have led to him being branded a "pressing monster" by journalist Scott Saunders, alongside his unique physique will give Dier a huge headache tonight. The England international looks shaky at the best of times, but seldom has he come up against such a physical marvel who won't give him a moment's peace.

In turn, this will afford the creative assets around him space to pose the real danger, with Weghorst keen but often unable to get on the end of such chances.

Despite scoring only twice in a Red shirt, Ten Hag remains faithful to the £33k-per-week ace, outlining the positives his main marksman brings: "I think he has intelligence from positions, he is a very good anticipator.

“Of course I tell him to [help] linking up there, which he is also doing as a high striker. But in that position, [he is] linking up and getting in front of the goal when crosses are coming in. As for the rest, there is the defending part which he is also very good [at]."

Seeking to bully Dier into submission in the same way Alexander Isak did last weekend, but again with that touch of class that will knit everything together, Weghorst will hope to spearhead another embarrassing loss for the hosts tonight.

To say West Ham United have been one of the disappointments of the Premier League season is an understatement, especially considering the heights they reached last term.

A seventh-placed finish in the league while coming so close to reaching the Europa League final meant David Moyes had big expectations in the summer, and he has failed to replicate those performances or results, putting him under severe pressure.

With just eight league wins all season, the Hammers are just three points from the relegation zone and according to Football Insider, if David Sullivan and co sack Moyes before the end of the campaign, they could look to appoint former Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez.

The board contacted the Spaniard earlier on this term following the uncertainty surrounding the Scot’s future, yet they eventually kept faith in him. However, it appears as though the decision hasn’t paid off.

Should West Ham hire Rafa Benitez?

Benitez would certainly bring a wealth of experience with him to the London Stadium if given the role.

He has managed European heavyweights such as Real Madrid and Inter Milan, while amassing 359 matches in the Premier League by taking charge of Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Everton during a wonderful career.

It puts him among the game's elite managers and with a CV like that, the Spaniard is certainly used to lofty expectations, something the Hammers undeniably have.

Averaging 1.69 points per match in the top flight is a solid achievement and he has also lifted a UEFA Cup and Champions title too, proving he could bring a winning mentality to the club that is desperately needed.

Newcastle defender Jamal Lascelles praised Benitez during his time in the northeast, claiming he was a “special” coach, and he worked wonders on Tyneside. Indeed, he earned promotion from the Championship before keeping them in the top flight amid a lack of investment by Mike Ashley in the playing squad.

His last job in England wasn’t exactly a success, however, winning just seven matches in charge of Everton. That said, there were plenty of external factors which didn’t help his cause and overall, his career has been extremely successful.

Crucially at this stage of the campaign, the 62-year-old is a free agent and could take charge as soon as Moyes is sacked.

Journalist Nick Miller claimed he “wants a job” and has been “everywhere recently” and the question is, will West Ham make a decision in the next few days or wait until after their match against Arsenal?

There is no doubt Benitez could be successful, having managed some excellent teams during his career. Indeed, coming into a job with just a handful of matches left to save West Ham’s season may bring out the best in the Spaniard, just when the club need it most.

Newcastle United got their revenge on Manchester United following the League Cup final defeat at St James Park, beating them 2-0 in their Premier League clash this evening.

The Magpies move into third place in the league table following their victory ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s fixture against Everton tomorrow evening and Eddie Howe will surely be thrilled with his team’s perfect balance of patience and persistence throughout.

The home team absolutely dominated their opponents despite having only 47% possession. Indeed, the Toon had far more shots on target (6 v 1), created more big chances (4 v 0), won more duels (59 v 41) and completed a higher number of tackles too (24 v 17).

Howe and his team would’ve felt that they were unlucky at half-time as they looked the better side throughout the opening 45 minutes with several opportunities squandered in front of goal despite comfortably pressing the Red Devils.

However, when they returned to the pitch for the second half, they finally got the goals they deserved with Joe Willock proving to his manager he was worthy of the starting spot in midfield when he opened up the scoring in the 65th minute to give the Geordies the lead in front of the roaring home support.

It was then Callum Wilson’s turn to show Howe what he had been missing from the bench when he replaced Alexander Isak in the 80th minute and doubled the lead to 2-0 when a free kick driven into the box gave the out of favour striker his chance in the 88th minute.

Indeed, Wilson will be rightly feeling accomplished in delivering the goal that ultimately killed the game for the opponents, but it’s safe to say that Kieran Trippier was the real hero at St James’ Park tonight.

How did Kieran Trippier get on vs Manchester United?

The England international has been an incredible voice on the pitch for the club since his arrival in January 2022 for just £12m but it’s not just his leadership that has been worth its weight in gold to help Newcastle become comfortable contenders in the top four race.

Over his 90-minute performance, the £100k-per-week maestro – hailed for his “elite output” by Statman Dave on Twitter was superb.

Indeed, he delivered four key passes as a marker of his rampant threat down the right-hand side and of course, most importantly, whipped in a wonderful free-kick which earned him an assist for Wilson’s goal.

That well-placed free kick happened to be Trippier’s sixth Premier League assist this season and no other defender in the league has registered more so far, making it an even more impressive day for the right-back.

The full-back is so often the man to provide plenty in attack but he was faultless defensively up against Marcus Rashford and co on Sunday, completing five clearances from his 81 touches, as well as winning three duels.

Howe will be hoping that Trippier and the rest of his teammates can take huge confidence and momentum from their performance to achieve their Champions League dreams over the remaining 11 league games ahead.

Tottenham Hotspur return to Premier League action today, still licking their wounds from the midweek Champions League exit at the hands of AC Milan.

It marked a return to the sidelines for Antonio Conte, but an unwelcome reintroduction to management as his side were decidedly toothless once again in a game where they needed a goal.

This was not the first time the Italian had struggled to make his team tick offensively, and amongst the frustration, the night was marred further by Cristian Romero’s red card.

It marked the third of his career since moving to the Lilywhites in 2021, as the Argentine went steaming into an unnecessary tackle in typical fashion only to clear out the opposition man and receive his second yellow.

Although the issues once again lay up top, he was the man who resigned the ten-man outfit to defeat; it could well cost him his place today.

Should Cristian Romero be dropped for Spurs?

Once again playing host, this time it is Nottingham Forest who travel to north London hoping to continue their resurgence to avoid a potential relegation battle.

The Tricky Trees twice came from behind last week to draw with Everton, yet on the road have won just once in the league all season.

Conte will surely see this fixture as a fine opportunity to bounce back, but he cannot rely on the unruly 6-foot-1 stopper not to follow up his recklessness again today. Should they once again lose a man, it makes what should be a routine victory into an all-out war.

Jamie O’Hara summed up his frustrations with Romero following Wednesday’s clash, as he told talkSPORT:

“He’s a liability though, James [the caller]. He’s a liability.” This was followed up with a subsequent tweet which dubbed the central defender “ridiculous”.

Although he may well be imperative to the way they play, his desire to engage in aggressive situations often comes to the detriment of the team. It expunges his 87% pass accuracy, 2.6 tackles and 2.9 clearances per game (via Sofascore), and they cannot afford that risk today.

He must be dropped in favour of perhaps a lesser player with a cooler head, to allow him to the World Cup winner process how his actions have affected the club.

Arsenal are interested in swooping for Real Betis winger Luiz Henrique, with the Brazilian prospect impressing during his maiden season in European football.

What’s the latest on Henrique to Arsenal?

Writing in his column for GIVEMESPORT, transfer insider Dean Jones recently stated that Gunners technical director Edu will use Manchester United’s forthcoming Europa League tie against the Heliopolitans to his advantage, sending scouts to watch the winger at Old Trafford.

Signing from homeland outfit Fluminense last summer, the South American starlet has attracted the attention of a wealth of top outfits already, and despite his inconsistency, there is a discernibly first-rate talent awaiting nurturing.

Valued at £44m by his outfit amid interest from Aston Villa in January, Arsenal would have to make a sizeable bid to convince the La Liga outfit to part with one of their most exciting prospects, and a stellar showing against the Red Devils might enhance the chances of that happening.

Should Edu ditch Nelson for Henrique?

Henrique has made a steady start to life in Spain, scoring three goals and providing five assists from 30 matches – 20 starts – across all competitions, including two goals and assists apiece in the Europa League.

The 22-year-old’s standout moment with the Green and Whites came against holding Europa Conference League champions Roma in the group phase, where he scored a goal and an assist in Italy to clinch a pivotal victory.

As per FBref, the ace ranks among the top 4% of positional peers for tackles, 14% for clearances, 13% for aerials won, and 19% for successful take-ons in Europe’s top five leagues over the last 365 days, illustrating a robust and gritty side to the machine’s game that will serve him well when effectively contributing towards the defensive side of his game, tracking back to provide respite for the backline and aid the swift transitions away from danger.

Praised as a player who “makes things happen” by Jones when assessing the former interest from the Villa, Henrique is inching closer to prominence and when he channels the precision and fine-tunes the danger that lies at his feet, he could become a devastating cog for whoever has him.

With his acquisition, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta could finally ditch Reiss Nelson, who is seemingly entrusted with only a peripheral role this season, playing just 63 minutes in the Premier League all term.

With the 23-year-old out of contract at the end of the campaign, Arsenal could make fine use of a top-class replacement, an upgrade to coincide with the ascension under their Spanish boss that has left them topping the Premier League table after 24 matches, five points clear of current champions Manchester City.

Throughout his career, as per Whoscored, Nelson averages a match rating of 6.65, registering 1.1 shots and 0.8 key passes per match; Henrique, comparatively, averages 1.4 shots and 0.7 key passes, also boasting a superior average rating of 6.86 – suggesting that the Brazilian – who is younger than the Gunners forward – could provide a higher quality of performance week-in-week-out.

With Arsenal building the blocks for an illustrious new era in north London, landing a precocious phenom of Henrique’s ilk would embody the resurgence under Arteta’s wing.

No doubt, there will be more than a few Gunners eyes on the gem as the wizard takes to the field at Old Trafford, and should the gem impress, he might just find a move to the Premier League is forthcoming.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Eric Dier is ‘nowhere near the required level’ to bring the club success, according to journalist Ryan Taylor.

The Lowdown: Dier struggling

The defender has already been criticised by pundits for his performances this season, with journalist Kevin Palmer slamming his very poor performance in the 2-2 draw against Brentford, claiming he’s ‘not good enough’ for a top six club.

Given that Cristian Romero has been injured for large parts of the season, Dier has been given a lot of game time by Antonio Conte, making 22 appearances in the Premier League, however he has left Taylor unimpressed…

The Latest: Criticised by Taylor

In an interview with GiveMeSport, the journalist name-checked a few Tottenham players who he has been disappointed by, and he reserved particularly scathing criticism for Dier, saying:

“Ben Davies, good squad player but he should not be a starter. Hugo Lloris, poor, while Eric Dier is just nowhere near the required level for what Spurs are trying to achieve.”

[web_stories_embed url=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/web-stories/tottenham-latest-news-4/” title=”Tottenham latest news” poster=”https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/cropped-tottenham-fans.jpg” width=”360″ height=”600″ align=”none”]

The Verdict: Not good enough

Taylor also described the Englishman as ‘very poor’ back in January, and that is a probably a fair assessment, given the level of his performances so far this season, as he is one of two Spurs players to have made an error leading to a goal.

In fairness, there have been some improved signs recently, with the 29-year-old impressing in the 2-0 victory against West Ham United at the weekend, winning six of his seven aerial duels, the second-highest amount of any player.

That being said, the Hammers offered little in the way of attacking threat, and the £85k-per-week earner does not put in those types of performances on a regular enough basis, ranked by Sofascore as Spurs’ worst-performing outfield starter in the 4-1 defeat at Leicester City.

As such, Conte should look to bring in a new option at centre-back in the summer window, and The Daily Mail report that a dominant defender will be at the top of their wanted list this summer.
