Boland buoyed by Perth spell: 'I'm good enough to compete with anyone'

Australia seamer pleased with how he bounced back after wayward start to first Test

Andrew McGlashan02-Dec-20250:54

Clarke: Australia going to a venue where they play well

Even when Mitchell Starc blew England away with seven wickets during the first innings in Perth it did not go unnoticed that, in an attack missing Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, the visitors had taken Scott Boland for more than six an over.It came following pre-series debate about how they would look to take on Boland after largely dominating him in the two matches he played in the 2023 Ashes. However, the second day was a different story. Boland’s three-wicket burst after lunch – removing Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the space of 11 balls – turned the match on its head when England had been 105 runs ahead with nine wickets in hand.”It probably just proves to me that my good stuff, it doesn’t matter who it’s to, I think it feels like when I’m getting in the right areas it’s good enough to anyone,” Boland said ahead of the second Test at the Gabba. “I think that gives me a little bit of confidence that if I’m nailing my game… I’m good enough to compete with anyone.”Related

Having overpitched too often in the first innings, Boland adjusted both his line and length in the second, hanging the ball wider, drawing Pope and Brook into drives away from their body. After the match, Andrew McDonald said the initial plans were partly to blame for the tactics Boland used with the new ball on the opening day.”I think Ronnie’s pretty nice to me there,” Boland said. “I just had one of those days where I just felt like I was over-pitching too much. Obviously, I wanted to start a little bit fuller than normal with the new ball, but I probably bowled seven or eight half-volleys and they all went for four. Some days half of them don’t and you think it’s [going] a little bit better.”I was pretty happy with how I bounced back in the second innings. I sort of went back to my natural length. Stuff that I know I’m really good at. I was obviously really disappointed with how I bowled in the first innings because generally I don’t bowl too many half-volleys.”On a pitch at the Gabba likely to have good pace and carry, if not perhaps to quite the level of Perth Stadium, Boland expects similar tactics to come into play. “I think we’ll get some good bounce here at the Gabba, which we usually do,” he said. “We went through what worked in Perth and what’s going to work here. It feels like a lot of the stuff is very similar.”Pope, who was tied down before losing patience and edging to Alex Carey, accepted there were things to learn but continued to see opportunity if Australia’s bowlers kept targeting a wider line.Scott Boland’s burst on day two in Perth helped swing the first Test•Getty Images

“It’s trying to learn the lessons, and take some positives,” he said. “I think it is just about being really precise with how you go about it. They can hang it out wide but as soon as they do miss their lengths it is about trying to put them under pressure there as well.”I look back on that [second] innings and the dismissal, [and] it’s just being that bit more precise, going about it in the same way but having that little bit more [precision] in my game.”Boland, who averages 13.16 from four day-night Tests, also sees the short ball being a threat again with England unlikely to back down from a challenge despite the bigger boundaries on most Australian grounds. However, he did note that their lower order had briefly rallied in the second innings, with Gus Atkinson and Brydon Carse added 50 in 36 balls, when the quicks banged in the ball in.”Definitely the ground size plays a big part in that,” Boland said. “Perth Stadium is really wide, really big pockets. And the ground is quite similar here. Same as the MCG and SCG. Adelaide’s probably the only one that’s a little bit different. I think that worked in our favour.”They [England] tried some bouncer plans which worked well at different times. I think sometimes when you do go to that bouncer plan, you can leak runs pretty quickly. I think we had them 6 for 80 [88] and then we sort of went into some full-on bouncer plans and leaked [runs] a little bit [but] we got some wickets. First innings, it worked really quick and then second things, they played a little bit better. So I think we’ll just be adjusting on the fly.”There has been intrigue this week around whether Cummins could make a late entrance for the Brisbane Test, as he ramps up his return to bowling, despite not being named in the squad although a return in Adelaide remains the likely outcome. “He looked in red-hot form the other night, as good as you’ll see [from] a fast bowler charging in in the nets,” Boland said.Meanwhile, Hazlewood is due to join the squad on Thursday to continue his return to bowling after being ruled out of the first two Tests with a hamstring injury. He is considered unlikely to be in contention until either Melbourne or Sydney.

محمد صلاح يشعل حربًا بين كاراجر وريتشاردز.. اتهامات بالتفاهة وتييري هنري يتدخل

تسبب النجم المصري محمد صلاح في نشوب حرب كلامية بين جيمي كاراجر وميكا ريتشاردز، على الهواء مباشرة، بسبب التصريحات التي أدلى بها يوم السبت الماضي، قبل أن يتدخل تييري هنري للحيلولة بينهما.

ولم يسافر محمد صلاح رفقة بعثة ليفربول إلى إيطاليا لخوض مباراة إنتر ميلان، مساء يوم الثلاثاء، في الجولة السادسة من دوري أبطال أوروبا، مرحلة الدوري، حيث حقق الفريق الإنجليزي فوزًا بهدف دون رد.

جاء استبعاد محمد صلاح كقرار من آرني سلوت إثر تصريحاته الساخطة التي أدلى بها قبل أيام، والتي هاجم خلالها إدارة النادي والهوندي.

وقال ميكا ريتشاردز، في تصريحات عبر الهواء مباشرة في الاستوديو التحليلي عبر شبكة “سي بي إس” الأمريكية، ونقلتها صحيفة “ذا صن” الإنجليزية: “نحن نتحدث عن أحد أعظم اللاعبين الذين تألقوا في الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز على الإطلاق”.

ورد كاراجر: “لكن الناس ينتقدون المدرب لعدم إشراكه، أنا لا أنتقد المدرب”، وأضاف ريتشاردز: “أتفهم إحباط محمد صلاح من رغبته في النزول إلى أرض الملعب، لقد قلت إنه مخطئ، ما زلت أعتقد أنه مخطئ لتصريحه بذلك، لذا أتفق  في هذه النقطة، لكنني أفهم أيضًا أنه، نظرًا لمستوى اللاعب، سيرغب في اللعب، سيشعر بالإحباط”.

وتابع كاراجر: “جميعنا نشعر بهذا الإحباط، ولكن عندما ننظر إلى المدرب ويجد أشخاصًا في الخارج يقولون (يا إلهي، يجب أن يشركه) دون النظر إلى السياق”، ليرد ريتشاردز: “لقد كتبت في عمودك قبل أسبوعين أن لديه مباراة عطلة الأسبوع من أجل إنقاذ مستقبله، إذن، لديك هذا الرأي بشأن المدرب أيضًا”.

ثم حاول تييري هنري، نجم آرسنال السابق، تهدئة الموقف بتدليك كاراجر بطريقة غريبة، وكان كاراجر قد جادل ريتشاردز سابقًا حول ما إذا كان ينبغي إشراك صلاح في مباراة ليدز.

ثم تساءل كاراجر: “في أي مباريات كان يجب أن يشارك؟”، ليرد ريتشاردز: “كنت سأشركه في مباراة ليدز، لكن الأول رد مذهولًا: “متى؟”، حيث رد الآخر قائلًا: “عندما كانوا بحاجة إلى هدف آخر، كان ليدز في المباراة يضغط، وفي بعض الأحيان كان من الممكن أن يتعرضوا لخطر الهجمة المرتدة”.

وشدد: “أنت تعرف محمد صلاح، أنت تعرف سجله من السنوات السابقة، بإمكانه أن يسجل هدفًا، صحيح أن مستواه لم يكن رائعًا، لكنني أتفهم إحباطه”.

ولكن كاراجر لم يتفق مع هذا، حيث قال: “كان ليفربول فائزًا بنتيجة 2/0، ليدز عاد وتعادل، كانت الكرة في الملعب لثلاث دقائق تقريبًا قبل أن يسجل ليفربول لتصبح النتيجة 3/2، كانت الفترة الزمنية قليلة، لا يمكنك التفكير في الدفع بـ محمد صلاح”.

وانفعل: “انتظروا، ليفربول لديه مشاكل كبيرة مع الكرات الثابتة، عليك أن تفكر فيما يفكر فيه المدرب على جانب الملعب: هل سأشرك لاعبًا لا يدافع ولن يساعدني في الكرات الثابتة لأنه صغير الحجم؟!”.

ولم يتوقف الأمر بينهما عند هذا الحد، حيث تعجب ريتشاردز من المنشور الخاص بـ كاراجر، تعليقًا على صورة محمد صلاح في صالة الألعاب الرياضية صباح أمس، حيث قال نجم ليفربول السابق: “أعتقد أنني لم أرغب في أن يحقق ليفربول الفوز في مباراة أكثر من مباراة الليلة، نادينا العظيم هيا!”.

وفي هذا الصدد، سأل ريتشاردز، كاراجر: “لماذا تتصرف بتلك التفاهة يا جيمي؟ ما الخطب؟ لماذا تتدخل في هذا؟”، ليرد الآخر: “لم أكن أرد على ذلك بالمناسبة، لقد قمت بالرد على منشور شخص آخر، الأشخاص الذين أعمل معهم عبر التلفزيون البريطاني”.

وسُئل كاراجر عن مغزى ما قاله، ليرد: “أنا متشوق جدًا لفوز ليفربول اليوم (تصريحاته في الاستوديو قبيل اللقاء)، من أجل المدرب، أنا مثل محمد صلاح، لا تربطني أي علاقة بالمدرب، لا أعرفه جيدًا، كنني أعتقد أن ما حدث هناك وكيف تحدث عن المدرب، يجعلني متشوقًا جدًا لفوزه الليلة، من أجله فقط”.

وأكد: “وأيضًا من أجل المشجعين الذين ذهبوا إلى هناك، وهم ليسوا من مشجعي محمد صلاح، وليسوا من مشجعي جيمي كاراجر، أنتم تشجعون ليفربول، أيًا كان المدرب، أيًا كان من أنت، أنتم تدعمون النادي فحسب، أريد فقط أن يفوزوا جميعًا، لأنه كما ذكرت، كان هناك تركيز كبير على ما قاله محمد صلاح، لكن على المدرب الإجابة على الأسئلة في المؤتمر الصحفي باستمرار”.

واستأنف: “أليسون بيكر، الذي أظهر قيادة رائعة، أعتقد، الليلة الماضية أيضًا في المؤتمر الصحفي، سُئل عن زميله محمد صلاح وتصريحاته، يريد الدفاع عنه وعن النادي والمدرب أيضًا، لذلك لم يكن موقفًا سهلاً عليه”.

واستدرك: “لقد قلت رأيي في الأمر الليلة الماضية (تصريحات قوية ضد محمد صلاح مساء الإثنين)، ولا أريد إعادة الحديث عنه، لكنني شعرت بالإحباط بعض الشيء عندما رأيت ذلك المنشور اليوم، لم يذكر ليفربول ومباراة الليلة، يخوض ليفربول مباراة مهمة اليوم في سان سيرو، ويحتاجون إلى تحقيق نتيجة جيدة نظرًا لنتيجة مباراتهم السابقة، عندما كان محمد صلاح يلعب، ضد آيندهوفن”.

واختتم: “لذلك كان من الممكن أن يكتب تعليقًا مثل (بالتوفيق للاعبين الليلة)، ربما لم يكن يقصد ذلك، لا أعلم، لكن ليفربول لديه مباراة مهمة الليلة، وهو ينشر منشورًا كهذا على وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي”.

Harrison Ward does it again as Sussex make it five wins from seven

Sam Billings fifty in vain as Kent lose fourth game on the trot

ECB Reporters Network20-Jun-2024

Harrison Ward guides Sussex to victory•Getty Images

Sussex 201 for 7 (Ward 61, Lamb 40, Parkinson 3-31) beat Kent 170 for 7 (Billings 51, Bell-Drummond 37, Evison 34*, Lamb 3-37) by 31 runsSussex Sharks made it five wins out of seven in the Vitality Blast when they defeated Kent’s Spitfires by 31 runs at The 1st Central County Ground in Hove. But for Kent this was a fourth defeat in as many games.Kent’s challenge, to score 202, was always a daunting one, the more so after Zak Crawley was bowled by Ollie Robinson for 4 in the opening over – the England opener’s sixth consecutive failure to reach double figures. Robinson was also unlucky not to have Marcus O’Riordan lbw in the same over.But when O’Riordan was out in the second over, edging Nathan McAndrew to first slip, everything appeared to depend on Daniel Bell-Drummond and skipper Sam Billings, because there was a lack of experience in Kent’s late middle-order.Bell-Drummond and Billings looked the part as they added 93 for the third wicket. And when James Coles went for 19 in one over, and also dropped Bell-Drummond, a steepling catch, it looked a possible turning point. But Sussex captain Tymal Mills responded by bringing himself on at the other end and immediately bowled the Kent batter.That moved Billings firmly centre stage. But in the next over he sent a lofted drive to Robinson at wide long-off and the match looked over, despite a spirited knock from Joey Evison and a quick 18 from former Sussex player Harry Finch. Danny Lamb completed an impressive all-round match with figures of 3 for 37.Earlier Kent, who chose to field, made a good start when they conceded just three runs off the opening two overs. But the next four overs went for 19, 13, 16 and 17 as Sussex reached 68 without loss from the powerplay.In those six overs Daniel Hughes faced just nine deliveries. But Harrison Ward, showing form and confidence after his 68 at Chelmsford on Friday, made up for at the other end. He reached his fifty from just 24 balls, with some long hitting, both straight and to the short boundary on the left-hander’s leg side.Kent broke through in the seventh over when Hughes, who had swung Matt Parkinson for two sixes, was well caught by Bell-Drummond at long-leg as he attempted a third. Ward followed in the next over, caught by Finch on the deep midwicket boundary. He had made 61 off 28 deliveries, with six fours and five sixes.The Kent fightback continued when Beyers Swanepoel bowled John Simpson for three in the ninth and in the next over Tom Alsop was lbw to Parkinson for just 2, a very tight decision. When Coles gave Parkinson his third wicket, also lbw, for 21, Sussex had lost five wickets for just 36 runs.But some late hitting by Lamb, who managed 40 from 32 balls, saw Sussex past 200. Kent, for the most part, bowled well in discouraging conditions. But Swanepoel (1 for 53) and Grant Stewart (0 for 51) were disappointing.

Rabeya and Murshida end Bangladesh's losing streak

Rabeya’s four-for helped Bangladesh restrict Thailand to 96 for 9 after which Murshida anchored the chase with a fifty

Bangladesh ended their ten-match losing streak in T20Is and collected their first points in Women’s Asia Cup 2024. They bounced back from the opening game defeat to Sri Lanka with a convincing seven-wicket victory over Thailand in Dambulla to keep their hopes for a semi-final spot alive.Legspinner Rabeya Khan’s four-wicket haul and seam-bowling allrounder Ritu Moni’s two scalps helped Bangladesh restrict Thailand to a below-par 96 for 9 on a spin-friendly surface. Nattaya Boochatham top-scored for Thailand with a 41-ball 40. In reply, Murshida Khatun, after missing the previous game, scored 50 off 55 balls to take Bangladesh home in 17.3 overs.Suwanchonrathi, from No. 11 to openerAphisara Suwanchonrathi, who had batted at No. 11 in her last two innings, was promoted to open with Boochatham. But the move backfired as Suwanchonrathi struggled to get going. She took 12 deliveries to get off the mark and eventually fell for a 20-ball 6 in the seventh over. Thailand could only post 25 for 0 in the powerplay.Rabeya, Moni strangle ThailandRabeya struck twice in her first over, the seventh of the innings, to remove Suwanchonrathi and Nannapat Koncharoenkai. Koncharoenkai, who had top-scored with 40 in the last match, fell for a duck this time. Bangladesh understood early in the game that Thailand found it difficult to score against full balls. Their spinners deceived the Malaysia batters with drift, turn and bounce.At the halfway stage, Nigar Sultana threw the ball to Moni, and she struck immediately. She hit the hard length and got the ball to swing in to remove Phannita Maya to leave Thailand 38 for 3. In her next over, Moni bowled Chanida Sutthiruang with a slower ball, for a ten-ball 8.Rabeya returned in the 14th over and castled Suwanan Khiaoto with a wrong’un. She did not let Boochatham take off either and cleaned her up in the 17th over.Debutant left-arm spinner Sabikun Nahar Jesmin, after conceding 23 in her first three overs, scalped two off two deliveries in her final over to sink Thailand further.Murshida Khatun anchored Bangladesh’s chase with 50 off 55 balls•ACC

Murshida among the runsBangladesh’s last T20I win before Monday came against South Africa in December 2023 when Murshida top-scored with an unbeaten 62. But in the next seven months, the team struggled with the bat, often collapsing around Sultana. In the last three series before this tournament, they used seven players in the top three, trying to find the winning combination.Even on Monday, Bangladesh made three changes to their XI. One of them was Murshida and she made it count. She took ten deliveries to get off the mark but after that, she kept the scoreboard ticking. There was a mix-up between her and Dilara Akter in the fifth over, which resulted in the latter being run out. But Murshida kept Bangladesh on the right track. She hit eight fours in her innings and brought up her fourth T20I half-century. Along with Ishma Tanjim, she added 60 off 58 balls for the second wicket.Bangladesh lost two wickets late in the game but, for a change, they didn’t need Sultana to rescue them.

Gloucestershire dig in on back of Ben Charlesworth hundred

Leicestershire tail wags to breach 400 before bowlers forced to toil in the field

ECB Reporters Network23-Aug-2024

Ben Charlesworth cuts firmly during his century•Getty Images

Ben Charlesworth led the way with 105 not out as Gloucestershire produced a determined fightback on the second day of the Vitality County Championship Second Division game with Leicestershire at Bristol.The 23-year-old left hander notched his second first-class century off 164 balls, with 14 fours and three sixes, in a Gloucestershire first-innings total that had reached 227 for 3 by the time bad light ended play seven overs early. James Bracey was unbeaten on 34.Leicestershire had posted 402 all out in their first innings from an overnight 291 for 7. Liam Trevaskis contributed 50 and Tom Scriven 60 off 84 balls, while Zaman Akhter finished with 3 for 110.There was bright sunshine over the Seat Unique Stadium for most of the day, but also a blustery wind. Leicestershire added 14 to their overnight total before Ben Green, back on loan from Somerset, was bowled for ten by Akhter off an inside edge and pad.By the time the second new ball was taken, Leicestershire were 319 for 8. It had barely any effect as Trevaskis went to fifty off 108 balls, with six fours, helped by Scriven in a taking the score to 381with a ninth-wicket stand of 76.Offspinner Ollie Price ended it by having Trevaskis caught in the covers to earn a third bowling bonus point. But Scriven wasn’t finished and completed a half-century of 78 balls, with his seventh boundary, stroked through extra cover off Price.It was largely due to Scriven’s efforts that Leicestershire took a fourth batting point. He brought up 400 with a pulled four off Akhter and was clearly looking to hit out when lofting a catch to long-on off Price to complete the innings.Lunch had been delayed for the fall of the final wicket and Gloucestershire began their reply at the start of the afternoon session. Soon the Leicestershire seamers were finding the pitch as unresponsive as their Gloucestershire counterparts had done as Charlesworth and Cameron Bancroft put together a half-century opening stand in 13 overs.Charlesworth top-edged a pull shot for six off Josh Hull, but it was one of few false shots as both he and Bancroft settled in to play some delightful strokes. Bancroft was particularly strong through the leg side and it was a surprise when the Australian edged an attempted cover drive off Scriven to second slip and departed for 39.At 68 for 1, Price joined Charlesworth and made only six before getting a thin edge to an attempted pull shot off Hull and feathering through to wicketkeeper Peter Handscomb. Charlesworth was unbeaten on 42 when tea was taken at 4pm with Gloucestershire 102 for 2.The tall allrounder soon moved to his half-century at the start of the final session with a flashing square cut boundary off Scriven. He had faced 96 deliveries and hit seven fours and a six, rarely looking in the slightest trouble.Fellow left-hander Hammond was also producing some swashbuckling shots as the pair took the score past 150 in the 39th over. They had added 65 in 16.2 overs when Green made an important breakthrough, nipping one back off the seam to pin Hammond lbw for 29.Charlesworth had a moment of anxiety on 77 when surviving a loud shout for a catch behind off Scriven. But there were to be no nervous nineties for him as two mighty blows cleared the ropes in the same over from left-arm spinner Trevaskis and took him to three figures.It was a hugely impressive ton from a young player long earmarked for a big future. Bracey leant typically solid support, but with rain forecast for tomorrow morning it may take a supreme effort from one of the teams to force a decisive result on such a bat-friendly surface.
