A stunning hat trick to send Manchester United through  in the Champions League doesn’t disguise the fact that there is something clearly not right with Robin van Persie this season.

The Dutchman, who was lauded as the key to United’s title triumph last season, has often been absent or cut a forlorn figure under new manager David Moyes.

With the club currently languishing in 7th place in the Premier League right now, van Persie is obviously not the only player at Old Trafford failing to replicate last season’s form.

Having featured in every league fixture during Sir Alex Ferguson’s final year in charge, the Dutchman has only appeared eighteen times in the same competition for Moyes in this campaign.

Although he managed to stay fit for the previous two seasons, injuries that had plagued the entirety of van Persie’s career seem to have returned to haunt him once more.

Even so, some will point to the fact that he has still notched 11 league goals in this injury-hit campaign as evidence that there is nothing wrong with the striker.

11 from 18 is a record that all strikers would be proud of.

But to suggest that all is well for the Dutchman at Old Trafford would be to ignore the player’s body language and performances at times this season.

Talks of a rift with David Moyes remain unfounded. Accusations mounted that van Persie’s numerous absences from the side were due to disputes rather than any injury. If all newspaper reports were to be believed, nearly every player at the club has had some issue with the manager this season.

But despite this, van Persie’s criticism of his team-mates “sometimes occupying the spaces I want to play in” after the first leg defeat in Greece revealed a very telling disillusionment at the club.

The Dutchman added in the same interview that his fellow United players are “often playing in my zones”, which forces him to alter his natural game.

How often does a player ever come out publicly and express concerns with the team’s tactics? Although he was very clear in not pointing the finger at Moyes, these remarkable comments reveal the striker’s discontent with his side’s setup this season.

In the discussion after the second leg triumph, the Sky Sports panel noted how Moyes’ alterations had managed to bring the best out of van Persie.

Gary Neville pointed out that the inclusion of Ryan Giggs’ forward passing from midfield and Danny Welbeck’s industry out wide served to create the space and opportunities that the Dutchman thrives upon.

For a player that was often decisive in fixtures last season, van Persie has been nothing more than a passenger in too many of the big games this year.

Heat maps and analyses of the Dutchman’s touches in some of these matches reveal just how little impact the striker has had in many of United’s disappointing results this season.

In the recent devastating home loss to Liverpool, the striker was essentially a bystander. Even with Adnan Januzaj, Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney surrounding him, van Persie was unable to exert any influence on the game.

The situation has deteriorated to the point where journalists such as Neil Custis of The Sun have suggested that the club may actively look to sell the player in the summer. Talk of a return to Arsenal or a move to Juventus has been mooted.

Only last week, van Persie publicly outlined his intention to stay at the club. But the January arrival of Mata and Rooney’s recent contract extension perhaps suggests that United are planning for a future without the Dutchman.

The levels of finance involved in both of these deals implies that the pair are considered integral to Moyes’ plans.

Mata is clearly not suited to the wide role which the manager has at times asked him to occupy which begs the question, can these three players actually play in the same side?

Injury plagued and thirty one in the summer, van Persie may be the one ousted either from the starting XI or even the club altogether.

Provided that the knock he suffered in the closing stages against Olympiakos doesn’t prove to be serious, maybe the hat trick will rejuvenate the striker and the club’s fortunes.

But there have been many false dawns at United this season. And something is still clearly not right with Robin van Persie.

Everton striker Victor Anichebe is desperate to break his derby duck against Liverpool on Sunday.

The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has yet to score against Liverpool and insists that derby day goals are the benchmark of any good Goodison forward.

Despite suffering a head injury last time out against QPR, Anichebe is expected to start against Liverpool as Steven Pienaar’s dismissal means that David Moyes will have to re-shuffle his side’s attacking options.

Despite high hopes of breaking his personal hoodoo against Liverpool in the 219th Merseyside derby, Anichebe has less selfish hopes of seeing the Blues pick up three points as Everton look to remain in the top four.

“I was thinking about the fact that I haven’t scored against Liverpool recently,” the Everton striker told the Liverpool Echo.

“I really want to change that – it would mean a lot to me.

“Scoring is always nice no matter who it’s against but against Liverpool would be extra special.

“It’d be nice for me and the fans. Jela has done it and many of Everton’s best centre forwards over the years can say they’ve done it.

“More important though is that we win.

“That’d be perfect for us,” he added.

Anichebe has netted on four occasions this season, two coming in the Premier League and is hoping goals in the derby will help  his claims for more first team action.

The board has compared it to the kind of review England undertook in 2015 after their group stage exit at the ODI World Cup that year

Danyal Rasool09-Sep-2024The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to undertake a wholesale review of all aspects of international and domestic cricket in a bid to “restore the pride and excellence” of Pakistan cricket.For the review, the opening form of which will be a meeting called a “connection camp”, the board will invite both head coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie to Lahore, with chairman Mohsin Naqvi also in attendance. Several centrally contracted cricketers, including both international captains Shan Masood and Babar Azam, will attend the camp, which will be held on September 23. The goals of the camp involve a rebrand of the kind of cricket Pakistan play across formats right down to grassroots levels, with a view to reverse the steady decline in international performances from the Pakistan national side across formats of late.The formation of the camp is the idea of the PCB chairman himself. It is not understood to be designed around specific, short-term concerns such as any proposed changes to the men’s national captaincy in either format, or the squad selection for any upcoming series. Its scale, instead, is a rather more ambitious review. Privately, PCB officials have compared it to the kind of review England undertook in 2015 following their group stage exit at the ODI World Cup that year. Held as the gold standard for the speed at which the cultural reset was achieved, England went on to become the number one ranked white-ball side, and won the 2019 ODI World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup.Related

• The anatomy of Pakistan's fall in Tests

• Dysfunctional system leaves Pakistan stuck in Test-match mire

• The PCB is even more disastrous than usual. Here are the numbers to prove it

The specifics around how they achieve that are somewhat less clear, but Naqvi believes the connection camp is the first step towards reversing the course of the national side. The PCB feels it needs the camp to set out a unified vision and shared purpose, and to understand how it is perceived by fellow cricketing nations, as well as its own fans.It is not surprising to see why the comparison with the England review appeals to the PCB. Its success was achieved at great speed, with a series against New Zealand immediately following that disastrous World Cup demonstrating how quickly a tide could be turned.One significant challenge is the quality of talent Pakistan can draw from. After their cultural reset, England were able to draw from a pool that has come to be seen as their white-ball golden generation, while just last month, Naqvi acknowledged Pakistan’s reserves of talent in domestic cricket were worryingly low, dampening the prospect of a quick reversal.The PCB has also gone all in on the domestic one-day competition, rebranded as the Champions One-Day Cup. It is set to be held in Faisalabad from September 12 to 29, a week before the start of Pakistan’s Test series against England, with the connection camp taking place on a rest day during the tournament. Naqvi expressed confidence this tournament would be able to begin restocking the domestic player pool, and with the connection camp, he believes he has the opportunity to reshape the board’s vision.There is, however, recognition that any such discussion, camp or meeting will be met with huge scepticism from the fans. The PCB is understood to accept there is a massive gulf of trust between the board and the game’s followers, who do not believe Pakistan cricket is heading in the right direction, or indeed that the right people are running it. While the camp looks to begin bridging that trust, the only tangible way to do that will involve better results on the field in international cricket.

He recently lost his place to Sediqullah and the veteran opener Shahzad in the national team set-up

Umar Farooq04-Jul-2023Following his exclusion from the Afghanistan national side, opening batter Usman Ghani has chosen to take a break from international cricket. Ghani alleged that the leadership in the Afghanistan set-up is corrupt, and that he would “eagerly wait for the right” management and selection committee before making a comeback.Ghani last represented Afghanistan in March against Pakistan, scoring 7 and 15, and in the last two years played 11 T20I innings at an average of 23.50 and a strike rate of 99.15. His international debut was in 2014 and he last played an ODI in 2022 before losing his place in the 50-over format. With his recent exclusion from T20Is in Bangladesh, he is effectively ruled out of white-ball cricket. Ghani has never quite been considered for red-ball cricket.”After careful consideration, I have decided to take a break from Afghanistan Cricket,” Ghani wrote on Twitter. “The corrupt leadership in the cricket board has compelled me to step back. I will continue my hard work and eagerly await the right management and selection committee to be put in place. Once that happens, I will proudly return to play for Afghanistan. Until then, I am backing myself from representing my beloved nation.”Ghani also stated that he made multiple attempts to meet the chairman of Afghanistan Cricket Board, Mirwais Ashraf, but “he remained unavailable.” Ghani also criticised the new chief selector Asadullah Khan for not offering a “satisfactory response” on dropping him from all formats.In the Afghanistan set up, Ghani has been replaced by veteran wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Shahzad, who returned after a gap of 19 months after improving his fitness and scoring runs consistently in the domestic circuit. He was among the leading run-getters, scoring 264 at an average of 44 in the Green Afghanistan One Day Cup and 440 runs at 88 in the regional Miwais Nika three-day tournament.For the opening slot, the selectors have retained 21-year-old Sediqullah Atal. He scored three half-centuries, including 94 for Defenders in the Green One Day Cup, averaging 49.75 in four games. Atal is considered a long-term prospect for the national side.”Shahzad’s selection is based on domestic performance and we want to see him up there,” chief selector Asadullah told ESPNcricinfo. “We are basically looking at the 2024 T20 World Cup and trying out players. With Shahzad, we feel he can contribute with this opportunity for him to prove how well he can do. He is not part of our ODI plans but the focus is to go with him to the T20 World Cup. Also, it was the captain and coach’s demand to see Shahzad as an option and how it goes. We don’t have anyone other than [Rahmanullah] Gurbaz in the top order so we want to build a backup.””We have plenty of time for the T20 World Cup, so it’s not an end for anyone. We have plenty of cricket coming ahead and will keep including youngsters. We have invested a lot in youngsters and they are part of the pool like Sediq Atal is there as well. So we also want to make sure we have more options. Our plan is to build a bigger pool and we have players for every role to gain benefit in different conditions against different opponents. We must have different options on the bench to counter the strength of opponents.”On Ghani’s allegations, though, the ACB offered no comment. Afghanistan play three ODIs and two T20Is in Bangladesh starting Wednesday.

Capitals head coach also says Mitchell Marsh will be ready for selection against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 10

Hemant Brar02-Apr-20221:59

Will bowlers make the difference this season?

South Africa seamer Anrich Nortje is only a couple of spells away from being available for Delhi Capitals at IPL 2022, the franchise’s head coach Ricky Ponting said on Saturday. There has been a lot of mystery around Nortje’s back and hip injury as the seamer hasn’t played competitive cricket since the T20 World Cup last November.Ponting also confirmed that David Warner would be available for Capitals’ next game, and hoped for Mitchell Marsh to be there for the one after that. Warner was rested for Australia’s ongoing limited-overs series in Pakistan but, along with other Cricket Australia-contracted players, was not available to play in the IPL till April 6. Marsh, meanwhile, is nursing a hip strain.Related

• Gill and Ferguson make it two in two for Gujarat Titans

“Nortje bowled at 100% this morning in the warm-ups,” Ponting said after the match against Gujarat Titans. “I think he has to get through another maybe four- or five-over spell at 100% capacity and then if he gets clearance from Cricket South Africa, he should be ready to go. We have got a few more days before our next game [against Lucknow Super Giants on April 7], so hopefully he is available for selection for that one.”I think David Warner has arrived in Mumbai. He left early yesterday morning I believe, so he should be there when we get back to Mumbai tonight. Mitchell Marsh has been in Mumbai for a few days, obviously getting his quarantine done. I think he might be out of quarantine tomorrow actually.”We are hoping that he [Marsh] is gonna be available for the game on 10th [against Kolkata Knight Riders]. He picked up that slight hip flexor strain in Pakistan. So we need to get a lot of treatment work into him and obviously a few good training sessions before he is available for selection. But fingers crossed, Davey should be there for the next game and Mitch Marsh for the game after.”Ponting on Nortje: “I think he has to get through another maybe four or five-over spell at 100% capacity”•BCCI

Talking about the defeat to Titans, Ponting said the early wickets cost them. Chasing 172 at the MCA Stadium in Pune, Capitals fell to 34 for 3 inside five overs. In their opening game against Mumbai Indians as well, they had lost three wickets inside the powerplay but there Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel had helped them pull off a coup.”On this wicket, on this ground, we thought it was a very, very chaseable total,” Ponting said. “Unfortunately for us, for the second game in succession we were behind the eight-ball early. There were a few too many quite soft dismissals from our batsmen tonight.”If you are losing three wickets in the powerplay, it’s really hard to win games from there. We know that, the stats say that, they have said that right through the history of T20 cricket. That’s certainly one area that we got to get better at, getting through that powerplay. None or one down would be a nice start to a run chase.”Despite the early wickets, Capitals were in a comfortable position at the end of 14 overs. They needed 54 runs in the last six overs with Rishabh Pant and Rovman Powell in the middle. Losing from there, Ponting said, was more disappointing.”There probably was a little bit of panic,” he said. “At no stage tonight did the run rate go out of hand and that’s what probably makes it a more disappointing loss than it probably looks on the scoreboard. We went down by 15 [14] runs but the [required] run rate never got above 9.5.Ponting felt there was a “little bit of a panic” in the way Capitals approached their chase against Gujarat Titans•BCCI

“We had Rishabh in the middle of a really good innings. Rovman Powell had just gone out. If those two had been out to bat together for two-three more overs, I think we would have won the game. But we were not good enough to do it.”Titans’ bowler who dealt Capitals telling blows was Lockie Ferguson. He sent back Prithvi Shaw with his very first ball in the match. In the same over, he dismissed Mandeep Singh, too. Later, he came back to get rid of Pant and Axar in another, decisive double-wicket over.Talking about Shaw, who has been out to the pull shot twice in two games, Ponting said: “I thought he played beautifully in the first game. I think he got 38 off 24 balls and got us off to a good start in the powerplay. He didn’t go on to capitalise as you would have liked but because of that start, we were good enough to go ahead and win that game.”Unfortunately today Ferguson comes into the attack and probably gets Prithvi out exactly the way they would have planned. Unfortunate for him but we will have a good chat with Prithvi. He has been out twice now playing that pull shot, so we might have to do a little bit of work on that with him over the next few days.”

Jimmy Peirson raced to a maiden first-class hundred before South Australia suffered another horrid first innings

Alex Malcolm09-Nov-2020Former Test opener Matt Renshaw reached his first Sheffield Shield century in over two years while Jimmy Peirson produced his maiden first-class century to put Queensland on top as South Australia collapsed at Glenelg Oval.Mitchell Swepson claimed his third consecutive five-wicket haul, albeit with some helpful umpiring decisions, to again press his credentials for a call-up to the Test squad as the Redbacks disintegrated late on day two.Renshaw’s last Shield century came in March of 2018 just prior to his last-minute recall to Australia’s Test team for the infamous final Test in South Africa. He made three more first-class centuries in the first three months of the 2018 county season for Somerset but had since endured a stretch of 41 first-class innings without reaching three figures, during which time he was dropped by both Australia and Queensland and took a break from the game.Batting at No. 5 for just the fifth time in his career, Renshaw began the day on 84 alongside Peirson, who was 60 not out, following a dominant opening day. Renshaw nudged his way to a century, bringing it up with a thick edge to third man while Peirson cruised to his maiden hundred from just 116 balls before falling just one run shy of a 200-run stand.Renshaw then teed off on legspinner Lloyd Pope, clubbing him for 23 in an over to race past 150 and set Queensland up for a lunchtime declaration at 5 for 496. South Australia’s bowlers suffered another hiding. In five bowling innings in four matches this season the Redbacks have taken five wickets or fewer four times and are yet to bowl a side out. They have conceded 480 or more in the first innings of all four matches.Queensland’s attack took 9 for 154 on the same surface in the afternoon. The extra pace of Brendan Doggett and sharp spin of Swepson did the damage. Travis Head continued his outstanding form striking seven boundaries in 37 but was unfortunate to be given out lbw to Swepson when a big spinning leg-break from around the wicket appeared to strike him outside the line.That sparked a calamitous collapse. Will Bosisto faced 139 balls for 38 before holing out to point and then Harry Nielsen nicked the second ball he faced attempting an expansive drive on the up. Swepson got another fortuitous decision when Liam Scott was given out lbw despite a huge inside edge, but he was too good for Chadd Sayers and Wes Agar to bag his fourth five-wicket haul in first-class cricket.The collapse was complete when Daniel Worrall was run out for a diamond duck. The retiring Callum Ferguson was left stranded 11 not out at stumps with the Redbacks still 342 runs behind.

The ACB has sanctioned him for breaching a code-of-conduct policy that requires players to seek the board’s permission before travelling abroad

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Aug-2019Mohammad Shahzad, the Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batsman, cannot play “any form of cricket” for a year. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), which had earlier suspended Shahzad indefinitely for breaching the board’s code of conduct, has fixed the term of his suspension.Shahzad’s suspension comes after he breached of a policy that requires players to seek the board’s permission before travelling out of the country. ESPNcricinfo understands that Shahzad is based in Peshawar, Pakistan, and was recently seen training there.”ACB has well-equipped training and practice facilities within the country and Afghan players do not require to travel abroad for such purposes,” the ACB said in a statement on Sunday.Last year, the ACB had fined Shahzad and asked him to relocate to Afghanistan permanently or risk having his contract terminated.Shahzad spent his early years in a refugee camp in Peshawar, but his parents are originally from Nangarhar, Afghanistan. Like many of his Afghanistan team-mates, Shahzad grew up near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border; he also got married in Peshawar. A significant number of Afghans, once refugees, now reside in Pakistan, mainly in Peshawar, registered in the country as temporary residents.Shahzad has been in the news a fair bit in recent times. He was sent back home from the World Cup because of a knee injury but told media in Kabul soon after that he was fit to play and hinted that the team just didn’t want him with them. “If they don’t want me to play, I will quit cricket,” he had said at the time.The senior cricketer, an integral part of Afghanistan’s rise up the ranks to Test status, had also served a retrospective one-year ban in 2017 for “inadvertently” consuming a banned substance.

Notts skipper smashed a career-best 124 to keep team’s hopes of reaching the knockout phase of the Royal London One-Day Cup alive

ECB Reporters Network03-Jun-2018
ScorecardSteven Mullaney smashed a career-best 124 to keep Nottinghamshire’s hopes of reaching the knockout phase of the Royal London One-Day Cup alive following a 31-run win over Durham at Emirates Riverside.The Outlaws’ skipper was the difference between the two sides as he guided his team out of trouble at 73 for 5 to a competitive total of 255, with a balance of quick running and power hitting towards the end of the innings.Durham lost their composure in their chase, losing wickets at vital times to succumb to the defeat. The result gives Notts a real chance of securing a quarter-final berth at the least ahead of their final match against Derbyshire.The visitors were inserted by Durham skipper Tom Latham, and Mark Wood got his side off to the perfect start clean bowling Riki Wessels off the first ball of the innings. Alex Hales struggled to get going in his innings and was caught looking to break the shackles by Michael Richardson. The introduction of Gareth Harte paid dividends as Moores knicked off behind for 23, while Matt Dixon had Samit Patel caught at fine leg.Despite Durham’s inroads, the presence of Ross Taylor was a threat. He was looking in good touch at the crease, but then played on to a Harte delivery to put the home side in the ascendancy. Mullaney and Chris Nash were able to stabilise the innings by knocking the ball around the ground. The duo were steady in their approach, putting on a fifty partnership in 92 deliveries.Ryan Pringle ended the partnership with a turning delivery to dismiss Nash lbw for 40, while Billy Root followed cheaply. However, Mullaney remained composed at the crease to notch his fifty before upping the ante towards the end of the innings. Dixon felt the brunt of his onslaught as he powered his way towards three figures.The Notts skipper reached the milestone off 111 deliveries, including seven fours and three sixes. Mullaney pushed on in the final over to reach his highest List A score, hitting Dixon for three-straight sixes before he was caught by Richardson for 124. Dixon ended with figures of 2-88 – the most expensive List A statistics recorded by a Durham bowler.The home side’s reply began poorly as Cameron Steel edged behind to hand Jake Ball his 100th List A wicket. Graham Clark and Richardson built a steady partnership, putting on 50 off 80 deliveries. Samit Patel dropped Clark off his own bowling, but returned in the following over to dismiss the opener for 36.Latham arrived at the crease with an attacking intent. He found found the rope four times and also scored a six, but was then out tamely to Nash for 28. Will Smith joined Richardson in the middle and the duo picked up from where they left off in their last outing, reaching their fifty partnership at a brisk pace.However, Durham lost quick wickets to stifle their momentum as Richardson, Poynter Smith and Harte were dismissed as the pressure started to build. The tail were left with a huge task as the required rate soared, and the visitors were able to hold their composure to secure the win.

Kraigg Brathwaite has been dropped from West Indies’ ODI squad, while Carlos Brathwaite was allowed to go to the IPL

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Apr-2017West Indies have dropped opener Kraigg Brathwaite from their ODI squad to take on Pakistan. Carlos Brathwaite, who led West Indies in the four-match T20 series completed on Sunday, was also left out and allowed to travel to the IPL early* ahead of a series that is crucial to West Indies’ chances of automatic World Cup qualification.Fast bowler Shannon Gabriel was fit to be included, after straining his side during the second ODI against England, while wicketkeeper Chadwick Walton, whose last ODI appearance was in 2014, returned to the squad selected for the first two matches against Pakistan. All three ODIs will take place in Guyana, starting with the first match on Friday.

West Indies ODI squad

Jason Holder (capt), Devendra Bishoo, Jonathan Carter, Miguel Cummins, Shannon Gabriel, Shai Hope, Alzarri Joseph, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Ashley Nurse, Kieran Powell, Rovman Powell, Chadwick Walton

Kraigg Brathwaite made his ODI debut last year against Pakistan but has averaged 27.80 from ten innings, with a strike rate of 57.55 – no one has batted more slowly (with a qualification of 100 runs) in that time. He made scores of 14, 42 and 5 during the 3-0 defeat against England last month, as West Indies struggled to build competitive totals.Evin Lewis also failed to make a significant impact in the England series but, after blasting 91 to help West Indies win the third T20 against Pakistan, he retains his place and is likely to open alongside Kieran Powell. Walton is also a candidate to bat at the top of the order.
West Indies decided not to select Carlos Brathwaite, who captained the side during their 3-1 T20 defeat, and instead allow him to link up with IPL franchise Delhi Daredevils this week. Brathwaite’s form in ODIs has not made him an automatic pick and his absence could open the door for Jamaica allrounder Rovman Powell.Pakistan are currently No. 8 in the ICC’s ODI rankings, holding the final automatic qualification spot for the 2019 World Cup; West Indies are in ninth, with five ranking points separating the sides. Failure to beat Pakistan would leave West Indies – who will be absent from this year’s Champions Trophy – struggling to catch them ahead of September’s cut-off and facing the prospect of having to come through the ICC Qualifier.*April 4, 1030 GMT – This story was updated to clarify Carlos Brathwaite’s omission
