England’s women slipped to a comprehensive 63-run defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the final of the 2002 Tri-Series tournament at Chester-le-Street.

CricInfo Staff20-Jul-2002England’s women slipped to a comprehensive 63-run defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the final of the 2002 Tri-Series tournament at Chester-le-Street.After winning the toss and putting the tourists in, England started well with two quick wickets. Isa Guha induced an outside edge from Nicola Payne in the first over and Laura Harper held the catch at first slip. Emily Drumm was dismissed two balls later when she top-edged for wicketkeeper Mandie Godliman to take the catch.However a superb half-century from Katherine Pulford enabled New Zealand to recover to 161 before they were bowled out in the 49th over.England’s run-chase began slowly, and wickets fell steadily throughout their innings. Opener Claire Taylor top-scored with 32, but only two other Englandplayers reached double figures as they were bowled out for 98 in the 44th over.

Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan is confident that the Whites will be doing plenty more business in the summer transfer window.

The Lowdown: Leeds make transfer progress

Marcelo Bielsa has already made some progress this summer, signing left-back Junior Firpo from Barcelona, making up for the loss of Ezgjan Alioski.

The hope is that this is only the start of Leeds’ spending, however, as they look to make serious inroads ahead of another Premier League season.

The Latest: Whelan confident of more signings

Whelan fully believes that the addition of Firpo is only the start, telling Football Insider that those high up at the club will be working hard on signings.

The 46-year-old, who recently returned to Elland Road to take up a new role working in the community with the club’s Foundation, said:

“I’m sure the club have got their eyes on many people. They will be looking at other targets now.

“The Euros has finished now and business, it will get done. The club will want to get deals done as quickly as possibly. You want to get new faces into the squad as quickly as possible so they can get to know their teammates and get used to their surroundings.

“There is lots of work going on in the background to try and get these deals done. It is never as easy as you think. Victor Orta, Mr. Radrizzani and the manager will be doing a lot of work behind the scenes to get Leeds United to where they want.

“It is about giving Leeds the best chance of success next season.”

The Verdict: Busy summer ahead

It is vital that Leeds build on last season’s ninth-place finish, not resting on their laurels and hopefully pushing further towards the European places.

Now is the time for the club to be bold and bring in top-quality players in various areas of the pitch, allowing Bielsa to rotate his squad, keep it fresh but not lose quality at the same time.

This feels like a pivotal summer in the transfer market, so Leeds need to get it right or risk going backwards. One look at Sheffield United, who also finished ninth a year after promotion only to then end up bottom of the Premier League last season, offers a warning as to how quickly fortunes can change if the right moves aren’t made.

At least Whelan’s comments suggest that the Whites aren’t being complacent this summer.

In other news, Leeds have reportedly pulled out of a move for one player this summer. Find out who it is here.

Mais do que os três pontos, a vitória contra o Bangu neste domingo representa, para o Botafogo, a entrada no G4 da classificação geral do Carioca, garantindo assim vaga para as semifinais do torneio. Com 14 pontos somados e dois jogos ainda por disputar, a próxima semana será decisiva para que a equipe se garanta entre os primeiros lugares. E, para o próximo compromisso, o técnico Jair Ventura terá dois problemas: a ausência de Rodrigo Pimpão e Victor Luís.

O atacante acabou expulso no primeiro tempo em Moça Bonita, cometendo duas faltas de amarelo em um espaço de três minutos. Enquanto isso, Victor Luís recebeu o terceiro cartão amarelo e deve ser substituído por Gilson.

Desta forma, ambos não enfrentam a Portuguesa-RJ, nesta próxima quinta-feira, às 19h30, em Los Larios, em Xerém. Ambos devem voltar ao time para a última rodada da Taça Rio, contra o Resende, domingo, no Nilton Santos.

Manchester United are the frontrunners to sign Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane this summer, according to Spanish football journalist Euan McTear.

After losing Sergio Ramos to PSG earlier this summer, Real Madrid won’t want to lose another star centre-back but with only one year left on his contract, the Spanish giants may look to cash-in on him, rather than risk losing him for free next year.

After playing for France at the Euros, Varane will now turn his attention back to club football and where he will be playing this season coming, with McTear telling TT: “At this point, Manchester United seem like the frontrunners”.

Varane has played plethora of trophies in his time at the Bernabeu and McTear thinks there’s definitely a space for the French defender at Old Trafford.

He added: “They’re are one of the clubs that do have a space there, next to Maguire there is a question mark, some of the other clubs have their two settled centre-backs so Manchester United makes a bit of sense”.

It looks like United are ready to make their move for Varane, with The Guardian reporting that the Red Devils are preparing a bid and that Varane would like to play in the Premier League.

Virender Sehwag, India’s centurion on day one of the second Test at Trent Bridge, praised England’s Matthew Hoggard for his bowling performance, while adding that England might have been disappointed not to take more wickets

Stephen Lamb08-Aug-2002Virender Sehwag, India’s centurion on day one of the second Test at Trent Bridge, praised England’s Matthew Hoggard for his bowling performance, while adding that England might have been disappointed not to take more wickets.”I have never seen the ball swing like that and England could have done better,” Sehwag told reporters. “I knew I could get a hundred if I could stay at the wicket. “He (Hoggard) is the best bowler in England and the best bowler in this Test.”Asked about the constant comparisons between him and Sachin Tendulkar, Sehwag said: “I am very happy because Sachin is a great batsman, I did copy him and so I don’t mind people comparing us. The only difference between us is on the scoreboard – there are 27 centuries difference.”Hoggard, who recently rose to fifth in the PriceWaterhousecoopers Test bowling rankings, admitted it was hard to control the movement.”When it does that much it’s very hard to find the right line and length – itwas swinging from off-stump but not from leg. Sometimes you can have too much swing, although I would like to put the conditions in a suitcase and carry them everywhere with me.”Everybody bowled tight and I think it’s just a matter of time before theystart nicking the edges and providing chances.”

O técnico Fabio Carille acredita que o Corinthians está fortalecido para a sequência de mata-matas no Campeonato Paulista, Sul-Americana e Copa do Brasil. O treinador lembrou o desempenho em clássicos pelo Estadual e ressaltou que abril será um mês importante.

– Foram duas vitórias e um empate nos clássicos, então entramos muito fortalecidos e confiantes nesse mês, e também conhecendo mais o nosso elenco. Vai ser um mês muito decisivo – afirmou o treinador, em entrevista coletiva nesta sexta-feira.

Apesar da grande sequência de jogos decisivos, Carille disse que não pretende priorizar alguma competição. O Timão faz o duelo de ida das quartas de final do Paulistão neste sábado contra o Botafogo-SP e depois encara a Universidad de Chile pela Sul-Americana antes da partida de volta do Estadual. Ainda há duelos com o Internacional pela Copa do Brasil na semana seguinte.

– Vamos priorizar sempre o próximo jogo independentemente do campeonato. Não tem jeito, equipe grande é assim, ainda mais na nossa fase. Se tivesse tido o último ano com títulos, talvez poderia pensar assim. Mas não dá para priorizar, tem que matar um leão a cada dia. Não penso lá na frente. Penso no próximo jogo. Se começar a penas já no Inter, vamos ficar loucos aqui dentro – analisou.

Carille ainda fez um alerta para o jogo contra o Botafogo-SP. O treinador falou que já assistiu a vídeos da equipe de Ribeirão Preto e passou instruções para os jogadores corintianos.

– O Botafogo-SP é um time que compete muito, já venho passando isso desde o fim do jogo contra o Linense. Vamos ter que competir muito também – disse Carille.
