Depois das pichações no Allianz Parque e do ataque ao ônibus do Palmeiras na chegada ao estádio para o jogo dessa quarta-feira, a Mancha Alvi Verde, principal organizada ligada ao clube, se manifestou em nota. Repudiou o ato contra a delegação, mas fez cobrança ao diretor de futebol Alexandre Mattos, ao técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari e a jogadores, inclusive contestando recentes aumentos salariais – Dudu e Bruno Henrique receberam esse acréscimo.

-ATIRE A PRIMEIRA PEDRA quem nunca errou? Assumimos os nossos erros e falhas. Quando os erros e falhas são nossos. A Mancha Alvi Verde NÃO compactua com as “pedradas” de ontem. E também não aceitamos esse pré-julgamento feito pela mídia e sociedade de acusar sem provas e sempre envolver o nome da nossa entidade – publicou a torcida.

– Nítido que não tivemos padrão técnico nos jogos do Paulista e Libertadores. Essa “pedrada” é do Felipão, que voltou a ser rabugento, teimoso e prepotente. Nas suas coletivas não assume que o time foi mal e ainda elogia em derrotas vergonhosas em clássicos dentro de casa – continuou a nota.

– Outra “pedrada” que tem dono é da nossa diretoria e Alexandre Mattos. Novamente contratações caras, duvidosas e sem necessidade para as posições que vieram. Foi refém de dois jogadores dando aumento de salário fora da realidade nacional – manifestou-se a Mancha, possivelmente falando de Dudu e Bruno Henrique, que receberam sondagens da China e tiveram seus salários ampliados para permanecerem no começo desta temporada.

– A impressão que temos é que perdeu-se o vestiário. Quem ganha “somente” R$ 300 mil não se entrega e não se envolve de fato e quem ganha R$1 milhão não joga para merecer tanto. (…) Que esse elenco pipoqueiro, que coleciona inúmeras eliminações nos últimos anos no nosso estádio, comece a jogar bola e respeite a nossa camisa.

Nessa quarta-feira, os muros do Allianz Parque amanheceram pichados, inclusive com ataques à Mancha, que recebeu investimentos da Crefisa, também patrocinadora do Palmeiras, para o desfile que conquistou o Carnaval paulistano neste ano. A assinatura das mensagens tinha a inscrição “ZL”. No clube, acredita-se que os atos têm a ver com um racha interno da organizada.

O ônibus do Palmeiras foi atacado enquanto levava a delegação para enfrentar e vencer o colombiano Junior Barranquilla por 3 a 0, ficando a um ponto de confirmar sua classificação para as oitavas de final da Libertadores. Na manhã desta quinta-feira, a esposa de Felipe Melo publicou vídeo dizendo que tinha acabado de encontrar um caco de vidro nas costas do volante.

A respeito do ataque ao ônibus, somente o técnico Luiz Felipe Scolari e o volante Bruno Henrique falaram, em entrevista coletiva obrigatória no regulamento da Conmebol após jogos da Libertadores. Felipão falou que “ninguém tem medo de bandido” no clube. Nenhum outro jogador ou dirigente deu entrevista nessa quarta-feira.

Em nota, o Palmeiras condenou o ataque e irá colaborar com a Polícia Militar para entender quem atacou o ônibus da delegação antes do jogo e cogitava fazer uma emboscada depois do confronto. Ainda há poucos detalhes sobre o caso, que fez jogadores e comissão técnica saírem com um esquema de segurança especial do Allianz Parque. Duas pessoas já foram presas, e alguns que aparecem atirando pedras nem estão com uniforme do Palmeiras.

The corpse is still twitching but realistically Derbyshire’s Division One life is over for the moment

Jon Culley at Derby25-Sep-2013
ScorecardChris Woakes extended his overnight score to a career-best 152 not out•Getty ImagesThe corpse is still twitching but realistically Derbyshire’s Division One life is over for the moment. They needed to win this match, which is not going to happen; they also need to do so, as things stand, with more batting points than Somerset, a similarly unlikely scenario. They will be lucky if they manage one, in which case everything else will be academic.Karl Krikken, their head coach, spoke as positively as he could in the circumstances, vowing to fight on. But he is as aware as anyone that for an inexperienced squad beaten seven times in their first 10 matches a full recovery was always a tall order. To go into the last round of games not already doomed was some kind of achievement.”In these last six games we have played some good cricket,” he said. “In the first half of the season we did not know where a win was coming from but since then we have picked up three wins, which I felt might be enough. If we do go down, Nottinghamshire will stay up with not as many wins as us, and we’ll have the same as Somerset.”You look back, and if we had held our catches in the Surrey game, which we more or less threw away, we would have gone into this game in front, or at least level. But you have to take those chances.”We had chances in this game but we let them off the hook when they were 120 for 6 and we let them off the hook again by allowing the ninth wicket pair to add so many.”Warwickshire have bowled really well on a wicket that is helpful but there is still hope while the little maestro is still there and we will turn up tomorrow and fight, as Derbyshire sides always do.”Yet in truth it will take something exceptional, with some exceptional support, from Shivnarine Chanderpaul, the little maestro in question, to haul Derbyshire anywhere near contention from 44 for 5. Warwickshire may have given up the title but have their eyes on third place in the table after a late-season recovery.With Keith Barker and Maurice Chambers exploiting a swing-friendly humid afternoon to maximum effect, Derbyshire were in trouble after an over from each as they sought to build a reply to Warwickshire’s 391 for 9.They lost Ben Slater to Barker’s third ball and Wayne Madsen, the captain from whom a substantial score was vital, to Chambers’s fifth, which forced him back and had him caught at first slip. Barker struck again in his third over as Paul Borrington edged to gully and Chambers in his fourth, when Rikki Clarke’s catch at second slip saw off Richard Johnson. The umpires signalled tea at that point, with Derbyshire 14 for 4.Chanderpaul has 24 but Alex Hughes had gone too by the time bad light forced an early close, a third victim for Barker, the left-armer, whose absence from any of England’s winter squads is almost as baffling as that of his colleague Chris Woakes. Barker, from only 11 matches, has 43 Championship wickets at 23.30.Woakes supplied more reason to question the selectors’ judgment by turning his overnight century into a career-best 152 not out, demonstrating his ability to defend for long periods in difficult conditions as well as the shot-making quality that has identified him as a batsman of high talent, regardless of what he can do with the ball.Yet he could not have done it without some unlikely help in a partnership of 166 that set a ground record for the ninth wicket in first-class matches. Maurice Chambers, with a career average under six, whose 30 for Essex against Leicestershire in 2011 was his highest score in 49 first-class matches until this one, stayed with him for almost three-and-a-half hours after a start delayed until after lunch, in doing so reaching 58 before he attempted to boss the left-arm spinner David Wainwright and was stumped.”Duncan Fletcher told me when he was England coach that I would never get in one of his teams if I couldn’t bat and I’ve worked really hard on my batting in the last couple of years,” Chambers said. “Some people may say it is only a 50, but for me it is everything I’ve been working towards. I think I can hold a bat, I don’t see myself as a genuine tailender and I want to show that.”Chambers, currently on loan with Warwickshire but surplus to requirements with Essex, where he had slipped out of favour, must be tempting Warwickshire to offer him a longer deal after taking 12 wickets so far. He would not comment on what stage preliminary discussions had reached but said he would welcome the chance to stay at Edgbaston.”I’m not 100 percent sure where I will be next year but there are a few counties interested,” he said. “I’m very confident I will get a contract somewhere next year and if it were Warwickshire, why not?”

It has taken Chris Wright a while to find his feet in professional cricket. But he’s clicked at Edgbaston. He took his best figures for the county as they steamrollered Durham on the final day

ScorecardChris Wright’s best figures for for Warwickshire will encourage the belief that a Test cap is not beyond him•Getty ImagesIt has taken Chris Wright a while to find his feet in professional cricket. He was overlooked by three counties and even went to Sri Lanka to get a game. But he has clicked at Edgbaston. He took his best figures for the county as they steamrollered Durham on the final day.Warwickshire got their title defence up and running by demolishing Durham with 46 overs to spare on the final day. Wright, having taken the one wicket to fall before the close on Friday, followed up with a morning spell of 3 for 10 and finished with 6 for 31 – his best performance for the county.Hampshire, Middlesex and Essex all got a good look at Wright and will wonder why the skills that increasingly encourage talk that he is an England bowler-in-waiting never previously surfaced.He nearly did not get his chance at Warwickshire either. Graeme Welch had to lobby Ashley Giles extensively to get him to take Wright on loan during 2011 but Giles was grateful for Welch’s insight.Wright’s bowling inspired Warwickshire to glory almost immediately. His first three appearances included two five-wicket hauls and 22 wickets at 24.31 nearly won the Championship in 2011. 62 scalps at 24.06 last year saw Warwickshire romp away with the pennant. Only poor weather prevented their coronation earlier than the penultimate match of last season.It is hard to make a case against them winning consecutive titles. The bowling attack is unmatched and the batting has enough runs in it, particularly the lower order, to allow the unrelenting foursome of Wright, Keith Barker, Rikki Clarke and Chris Woakes, plus the spin of Jeetan Patel, to win matches.Warwickshire underlined that, given a full match, they will outlast most teams. Durham competed very well for two-and-a-half days but eventually fell away like a tired jet skier, falling to their heaviest runs defeat against Warwickshire. Phil Mustard’s 28 in 140 minutes was as stubborn as they got until he was last out, carving Chris Woakes to point. Paul Collingwood clung on for an hour for 5.The result in no way reflects the situation on the third morning where Durham got on top. That moment and their defeat of Somerset in the opening round will be give confidence that they will survive comfortably. But their batting is not good enough to finish any higher than mid-table. In 16 innings this season the first four Durham batsmen have scored 99 runs and mustered only three double-figure scores between them.Their top three is especially vulnerable. Mark Stoneman and Will Smith are both experienced players with average-to-poor returns. Smith is on an especially poor run. His last 13 innings in the Championship have yielded 74 runs. He was picked this season only on the strength of a century against Durham MCCU in the first match of the year.Twenty-year-old Keaton Jennings is also in that top three. All of them fell to Barker in the first innings and all were claimed by Wright in the second innings. They were not the first and won’t be the last to succumb to highly accurate seam bowling that swung a little.It swung more as the match went on and the wind calmed. Wright said both teams struggled in the strong gusts of the first two days. But the Durham attack – most notably Ben Stokes – found some reverse-swing on the third afternoon and that was a precursor to Warwickshire finding some deadly movement on day four.”The fact that we were moving it both ways made it a lot harder for them,” Wright said in sympathy for the Durham batsman who were rolled for their lowest total against Warwickshire. “Moving the ball around in the air is something this team has been particularly good at.”Wright enjoyed a winter in India working with England bowling coach Kevin Shine. He developed a delivery that shapes away from the left-hander – a skill that has been extremely beneficial for James Anderson – that was evident in the first dismissal of the day. Stoneman followed a back of a length ball that left him slightly and edged behind.But new deliveries or not, Wright felt the full force of flat Australian wickets after Christmas with just four wickets at 49.00 as England went winless on the seven-match List A tour. It was a chastening experience but Wright is used to some low points in his career.”More than anything it was good to be exposed to the conditions, the flatter wickets, and to be involved in the England set up,” Wright said. “But you did need to keep your chin up.”

England’s bowlers will know plenty about BJ Watling after the wicketkeeper guided New Zealand XI to an excellent three-wicket victory with eight balls to spare in Queenstown

England’s bowlers will know plenty about BJ Watling going into the first Test, after the wicketkeeper guided New Zealand XI to an excellent three-wicket victory with eight balls to spare in Queenstown, to leave the visitors in far from perfect form heading into the series.It was England’s first defeat in a first-class warm-up match on tour since they lost by eight wickets against an India Board President’s XI in Vadodara in February 2006. The attack, except for Graeme Swann, struggled for consistency on a surface that, while offering a hint of turn, remained true for batting throughout.At tea, England were favourites with New Zealand XI 167 for 5. Watling and Corey Anderson, who together bludgeoned a 105-run stand in the first innings, produced a repeat performance in the second innings by adding 89 runs in 19 overs. Graham Onions again came in for punishment, as a two-over spell went for 23, on another dispiriting day for him. He claimed forgettable match figures of 1 for 213.Joe Root was given an extended bowling spell during the evening session, partly because Swann was off the field for a few overs, and also probably with a view to have him filling in for a few overs during the Tests. Root struck twice to keep England in the hunt. Anderson advanced down the pitch to Root and ended up yorking himself. After a 46-run stand for the seventh wicket, Jimmy Neesham picked out Stuart Broad at deep square-leg.However, Watling, who was dropped in the gully on 47 by Swann, shortly after he came back on the field, provided a calm head as the home side ended up winning with time to spare. Neil Wagner, after being added to New Zealand’s squad for the first Test earlier in the day, did not need to be shielded from the strike and played some handsome strokes, including a top-edged hook for six off Broad, and a boundary that leveled the scores, to ease the pressure on Watling in their match-sealing stand of 52England declared overnight, leaving the New Zealand XI a full day to chase the target. As in the first innings they made a solid start, seeing off the new ball through an opening stand of 56. Hamish Rutherford showed his intent by upper-cutting Broad over point for six, before departing playing a similar shot off Chris Woakes, which was taken by Nick Compton at point. Broad returned for a second spell and pitched the ball a touch fuller, which brought reward when Carl Cachopa was caught on the crease and lost his off stump.For the next 23 overs either side of lunch, Tom Latham and Neil Broom resisted solidly and kept the score ticking over. Onions was given another extended chance to bowl himself into form, but never suggested he would find his groove.Swann broke the partnership when he removed Latham while playing the sweep, and there was a touch through to Matt Prior who held on while in the process of appeal for lbw. Broad, who again maintained his pace throughout each spell, removed Broom offering no shot and when Dean Brownlie fenced to second slip the game looked to be England’s. Instead, they will travel to Dunedin on Sunday with another reminder of the fighting qualities of New Zealand cricketers.

The differences between South Africa and New Zealand were far greater than the ability of one attack to take 20 wickets and the struggle of the other to do half of that or that one batting line-up could score over 300 and the other just over that in both innings combined. According to Graeme Smith what really separates top sides from those in the tier below is whether they can know their game and play it.”The biggest thing is an understanding of what needs to be done and then going and doing it,” Smith said. And for that, it takes experience. South Africa, although not to the same depths as New Zealand, have been through years of what was considered underachievement when they could not reach the top ranking and hovered below.What they learnt in those years was the ability to withstand, what they learnt after that was how to push on. “There is resilience in the squad. We’ve been under big pressure. We’ve fought back from tough positions and we’ve worked our backsides off to get back into games. Then, when we’ve had that opportunity, we’ve driven a bus through the door,” Smith said.At the moment, New Zealand are still on level one but only barely. Sometimes, like in the first innings, they cannot withstand. On other occasions, such as the second, they can for a little while. On every instance over the last 12 months when South Africa have been under that kind of pressure, they have survived.The Oval, where they came back after a sorry day one; Headingley, where Kevin Pietersen’s innings could have blown them away; Lord’s, where Matt Prior may have derailed them; Adelaide, where Faf du Plessis rearguard action was epic; and Perth, where Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn played Australia out of the match, all stand out as examples of that. Those performances have shaped the character of the South African squad that exists now.”There is a good degree of confidence within the squad, which enables you to play that way going forward. If guys have got good performances behind them and come off with some good wins … it’s a lot easier to play that way when you haven’t got that kind of confidence,” Smith said.New Zealand are side that does not have it. Hobart and Colombo aside they have not had a good last year. It’s obvious even to their opposition where their faults lie. “They are struggling to find who fits in where and how can perform in certain role,” Smith said. “It’s more than who bats at No. 4, it’s about behind the scenes and the environment. They are growing there.”South Africa have leaders other than Smith in the dressing-room, a solid top six and a bowling attack that is the envy of the cricketing world. They look a perfectly balanced unit whose only worry is to drive home their No. 1 ranking as hard as they can. “It’s just about winning really, that is what you are defined by in modern-day sport,” Smith said. “If you play games like this and you are dominant and you take the game forward, it’s very nice.”They have been in control before but rarely as much as they were against New Zealand at Newlands, when Smith looked at the scoreboard and saw New Zealand were 26 for 9. “I couldn’t quite believe we were in that situation,” he said. “We bowled superbly in our new spells. We didn’t start sluggish and we asked questions early on.”What was as important as the emphatic nature of the bowling for Smith was the calmness of the batting that followed. “After bowling them out for 45, the attitude we had as a batting unit was so important. It would be easy to go out there and think: ‘What’s happening out here?'” he said. “It was great to see Alviro push through those little sessions where he has found it tough in the past, because his potential is huge.”Petersen’s hundred could end up as the least talked about but most telling act in the match. That would not matter to Smith, even if he doesn’t get his due, because it’s not as much about the individual as it is about the collective. “There’s honesty in the group. I see us as mature team. We’ve grown up now.” New Zealand will hope they can do the same.
