Stephen Fleming’s defending champions touched down in Sri Lanka on the weekend, confident that they could retain their crown in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy

Charlie Austin08-Sep-2002Stephen Fleming’s defending champions touched down in Sri Lanka on the weekend, confident that they could retain their crown in this year’s ICC Champions Trophy.The Clear Black Caps clinched a surprise win in ICC Knockout 2000 – the forerunner to the current tournament – overcoming Zimbabwe and Pakistan before defeating India in the final.And despite a relatively poor run in the two years since – only 18 wins in 56 matches – Fleming believes good planning and hard work gives his side a good chance of success.”We are excited by the prospect of defending a championship that we won pretty well last time and arrive here in very good heart,” he said, speaking from the team’s Colombo hotel.New Zealand prepared for the tournament with four state games in Sydney, winning them all, and now have plenty of time to prepare for their first game on Sept 15.”Australia was all about getting into the swing of playing again,” he said. “The conditions will be very different here but just getting outside was the first step for us.””We were lucky to have good weather and we come here early with a good programme in place for our preparation. We have two tough practice matches to get used to the heat and, in a weeks time, we should be ready to go.”Unfortunately, however, they need to defeat world champions Australia, who have been in ominous form during a tri-series in Kenya, to stay in the competition.”We have confidence in our preparation and are going to be well prepared by the time that we play Australia,” he claimed.”We respect them as a cricket side and you have to be at the top of your game to compete well with them, but we back ourselves to do that through hard work and good planning.”He admitted, though, that the unavailability of injured Chris Cairns, who scored a match-winning hundred in the 2000 tournament, was a major blow.”The absence of Chris Cairns has affected the balance of the side because he is a world-class all-rounder, but it has given an opportunity to younger players and they have come to the fore.”He singled out fast bowler Shane Bond and all-rounders Scott Styris and Jacob Oram as the players to look out for.”Shane Bond – in excellent form after a stint with Warwickshire – is an exceptional talent, a fast bowler with genuine that we are very lucky to have. Jacob Oram is an exciting all-rounder and Scot Styris had a successful tour of the West Indies.”New Zealand have an unfortunate history in Sri Lanka, their tours frequently coinciding with terrorist attacks and security concerns.Tours in 1987, 1992, 1997 and 2001 were all marred by security fears and three players refused to tour this time.But Fleming appeared relaxed: “Everything has been very smooth so far. We have been here quite a few times so know what to expect and have looked forward to the visit.”He looked forward to the ICC’s experiment with enhanced technological support for umpires during the tournament, including the use of replays for lbw decisions.”The players are just waiting to see how it goes. This is the opportune time to try it out before the World Cup and we hope it goes well, adding another dimension to the game.”

The return of the Premier League is just a couple of weeks away and for many that means that it’s not too long until they place their first accumulator of the season on a Saturday morning.

Whether you head down the betting shop to make your selections or take advantage of the offers available online, there’s no doubting that online betting has made sports betting even more accessible to fans

However, you need to make sure you choose a reliable operator and for the best Premier League betting sites check out Bestbettingsites.com

How To Understand the Odds

At the most basic level sports books will provide the odds for each team to win and for a draw. In the UK these are most often displayed as fractions. Let’s look at an example game, a match between Aston Villa and Manchester United. Here are the odds you would see when looking to place your bet:

Aston Villa to win: 7/1

Manchester United to win: 4/7

Draw: 3/1

The bookmakers will have calculated these odds based on how well the teams have been playing and what happened in their previous meetings. Based on these odds they are giving Manchester United a 63% chance of victory, which is pretty high. But what do the odds mean for your money?

The number on the left tells you what you can expect to win if you bet the number on the right. So, a £10 bet on Aston Villa to win could see you win £70 and your original stake back – so a total of £80. But a £10 bet on Manchester United won’t be nearly as profitable, netting you a profit of only £5.71 (and your original £10 back).

Odds vs Probability

You should have noticed by now that the higher the probability of something happening, the lower the odds you’ll get. This is how the sports books keep in business; relying on bettors to chase the excitement of a big win over the steady accumulation of smaller victories. If you want to turn a steady profit, then betting on the obvious winner should see you slowly increasing your bank balance. Of course, upsets to happen, such as when Leicester won the Premier League on their first season up from relegation in 2016. Some sports books offered odds as high as 5000/1 before a game had even been played, and for many fans that was well worth a punt.

Flexible Odds

Of course, over the length of a season, things change. Teams over/under perform, transfers are made, and surprise upsets happen. Bookies are constantly updating their odds, so the prices on offer at the start of the season will not be the same as those offered midway through. If you’re tempted to risk a small bet on an outlying team, make sure you do it at the start in order to get the best price – it won’t make any difference to your chances of winning, but it will make sure you get the biggest prize pot.

Advanced Betting Strategies

Placing a bet on the winner isn’t the only way you can wager your money on a game. Nowadays you can get odds on everything, from the number of corners taken to who will be the next manager to get fired. If you’re seriously into the stats, then placing a number of these side bets can be a satisfying way to show off your skills.

One of the most popular bets offered today is known as an accumulator bet, and it offers fantastic returns if you can correctly predict multiple outcomes. This can be a riskier strategy, because you need all your predictions to come true in order to see any winnings, but any winnings will roll over and increase your subsequent bets – meaning you can walk away with hundreds if you’re right. You can also cash out your accumulator for smaller winnings if a result is not going your way, as long as it’s before the game ends.

Conclusion

Betting can be fun, but don’t expect to make millions from one match. If you understand the way that odds and probabilities are used to predict outcomes you can make much more informed decisions about where to put your money.

The Somerset dream of retaining the Cheltenham and Gloucester trophy to salvage something from their disappointing season was ended when they were beaten by Yorkshire in the final at Lord’s

Richard Walsh31-Aug-2002The Somerset dream of retaining the Cheltenham and Gloucester trophy to salvage something from their disappointing season was ended when they were beaten by Yorkshire in the final at Lord’s.The Yorkshire victory was founded upon a five wicket haul from Matthew Hoggard and an unbeaten century from Man of the Match winner Matt Elliott.After winning the toss the Somerset innings got off to a bright start with openers Marcus Trescothick and Peter Bowler putting on 41 in quicktime before the returning Trescothick was out for 27 the victim of a spectacular catch by Michael Vaughan.Bowler was then joined by Jamie Cox, and together they gave Somerset a solid platform on which to build,adding 81 for the second wicket in 15.3 overs until Cox fell LBW to McGrath after making 34.With the score on 122 Mike Burns, whose selection was in some doubt beforehand after he suffered a knee problem at Blackpool joined the veteran Bowler who two overs later reached his fifty.With the score on 159 Hoggard changed to the Nursery End, and with his first ball tempted Bowler who gave a catch to wicket-keeper Richard Blakey. Bowler had batted for just over two hours and faced 89 balls for his 67 runs.Burns(21) was next man out with the score on 171. Somerset’s new England man Ian Blackwell was warmly applauded to the wicket, but on this occasion failed to deliver and was comprehensively bowled by Ryan Sidebottom.With ten overs left and the score on 191 for 5, two of last years batting heroes Keith Parsons and Rob Turner came together at the wicket . The pair brought up the Somersret 200, but after pushing the score along Turner gave a simple catch to Craig White at short mid wicket and the Cidermen were 230 for 6.The overs were running out and quick runs were needed so Richard Johnson was promoted ahead of his former Middlesex team mate Keith Dutch and was lucky to survive a run out. With Somerset still chasing runs, shortly afterwards Johnson swung hard at Hoggard and turned to see his stumps upended.With Somerset on 233 for 7 Dutch joined Parsons and brought a real cheer from the Somerset fans with first the boundary for a while, and when Parsons brought up the 250 in the last over there was even more to cheer about. But the cheering was short lived when he was caught by Sidebottom at long on from the next ball for 41.Dutch brought the innings to a close with a blistering cover drive to the boundary but the Somerset total of 256 for 8 seemed short of what was promised earlier on, with only eight boundaries in the last twenty overs, during which only 108 runs had been scored.Dangerman Craig White got the Yorkshire reply off to a very positive start when he dispatched Andrew Caddick’s second ball to the cover boundary, but his threat was short lived as in the third over he edged Johnson to wicket-keeper Turner, and Yorkshire were 19 for 1.Three balls later the Somerset fans had even more to cheer about when Johnson struck again as he clean bowled Chris Silverwood.Aussie Matt Elliott brought up the fifty and along with Matt Wood looked well set. However with the score on 64 Wood chopped a slower ball from Johnson onto his stumps and once again the Cider fans and something to cheer about.The demise of Wood brought England batsman Michael Vaughan to the wicket, and the longer he stayed with Elliott, the Yorkshire cause appeared to gather momentum. A classic off drive from Elliott brought up the hundred, and Somerset were in desperate need of a wicket. The Aussie moved past his half century in the twenty fourth over to put further pressure on Somerset.By the halfway stage of their innings the White Rose county had scored 116 for 3, and seemed to be cruising, that was until Steffan Jones returned at the Pavilion End.With the second ball of his second over the Welshman trapped Vaughan LBW after he had put on 93 in twenty overs, but his departure on 157 had brought Somerset back into the game.Elliott had other ideas and gradually moved his side towards their target, bringing up his century in the 44th over, having faced 110 balls.Elliott remained at the wicket until the end and hit the winning runs to see his side home to a six wicket victory with 12 balls to spare and remained unbeaten on 128.Whilst the Yorkshire players were celebrating with their trophy the Somerset players sat on the grass looking disappointed and thinking about what might have been, as were their fans who started to drift away for the long return journey home.At the end of the match Jamie Cox said: "Of course we are bitterly disappointed because today was the basket that we put all of our eggs in and we lost.Now we really have to have a good three weeks and move heaven and earth to try to survive in the county championship which is hugely important to us."He continued: "This competition has been a great run for us during my time at the club. We are going places and I want to be part of it so will be back next season. I always said that I wanted to be here five years, and I have one more year to go."

Dono da meta alvinegra e um dos destaques da campanha do Botafogo nesta Copa Libertadores, Gatito Fernández não se dá por satisfeito com as primeiras duas vitórias alvinegras no grupo A da competição. Visando mais a frente, o arqueiro paraguaio destaca a importância de vencer o Barcelona-EQU – nesta quinta-feira – e projeta uma classificação adiantada para as oitavas de final.

– É um jogo importante contra o Barcelona de Guayaquil. Temos o mesmo número de pontos e queremos uma vitória para liderarmos o grupo. Sabemos que uma vitória aqui praticamente nos classifica para as oitavas, além de nos deixar mais tranquilos para jogarmos em casa, jogando a pressão para os outros times que terão de procurar os pontos para classificarem – destaca o arqueiro alvinegro ao site oficial do Botafogo, diretamente do Equador.

Segundo Gatito, o Botafogo descobriu a fórmula ideal de se jogar a competição. E a experiência do time nas fases anteriores – o Glorioso não entrou direto nos grupos – contribuiu para que a equipe encorporasse o espírito copeiro.

– O time está sabendo jogar a Copa Libertadores. A primeira fase nos ajudou bastante a entender como se joga, deu mais experiência e confiança para todos nós, além da confiança com a vitória contra o Atlético Nacional. Nos demos conta que podemos sempre tirar o resultado, respeitando os rivais, mas sabemos que se fizermos o trabalho certo nós podemos conseguir uma vitória ou ponto fora de casa. Realmente o time está sabendo jogar essa competição e tomara Deus que seja assim até o final – completa Gatito ao site do Botafogo.

An update has emerged on Flamengo forward Gabriel Barbosa, regarding Everton’s interest in his services.

What’s the talk?

According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Everton manager Rafa Benitez is keeping tabs on Flamengo centre-forward Gabriel Barbosa.

The former Newcastle boss is going in search of additions to his squad before the end of the window and has identified the Brazilian striker as a potential target.

Get it done

Marcel Brands must get a deal done for Barbosa this summer as he could complete Everton’s attack. The Toffees already have James Rodriguez, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, but the Flamengo forward could be the missing piece to form a mouth-watering front four.

Imagine a 4-3-3 variation with Rodriguez as the most advanced of the midfield three behind Barbosa on the right, Calvert-Lewin through the middle and Richarlison on the left. That could be a lethal strike force for Benitez, especially given Gabigol’s record for Flamengo.

The ex-Inter man has 68 goals and 18 assists in 96 appearances for the club, including 14 goals and assists in 15 games in the 2020/21 campaign. He has shown that he can score goals at an eye-catching rate, whilst he also has the versatility to play as a striker, on either wing, or as an attacking midfielder. This means that Benitez could utilise him in a variety of ways and have flexibility with his frontline options.

Former Brazil international Zico once claimed Barbosa “has everything” and said that he can make himself one of the greats with Flamengo. He told O Dia (via TNT Sports):

“I think Gabigol has everything to be the greatest striker in Flamengo’s history. It’s getting there. His performance got better and better, consolidating himself as one of the greats.

“He’s already gone down in history. He is young and can do much more, and hopefully, he can do it. Doing this is always good to give joy to the Rubro-Negro fan and, logically, we always expect this from a guy who has the potential that he has.”

This is why Brands must swoop for the Brazilian this summer, as he is highly rated in Brazil and his statistics back up the hype.

He has shown that he is too good for the league he is currently playing in with his sublime goalscoring record and Everton fans would love to see him showing off his skills alongside the club’s current forwards.
