The rights to India’s home international games for four years from April 2010 have been provisionally awarded to Nimbus Communications for Rs. 2000 crore (US$431 million)

Cricinfo staff20-Oct-2009The rights to India’s home international games for four years from April 2010 have been provisionally awarded to Nimbus Communications for a projected valuation of Rs. 2000 crore (US$431 million). The deal is fixed at Rs 31.25 crore (approximately $6.6 million) per match, whether a Test, ODI or Twenty20, and is conditional on Nimbus furnishing a bank guarantee by January 15 of Rs 2000 crore.That figure is based on the BCCI’s current calculation of the number of games it might play between 2010-2014 but it is only a rough estimate given that the current Future Tours Programme ends in 2012 and the next one has not yet been made public.The BCCI has not issued an official statement on the deal but Lalit Modi, the BCCI vice-president and a member of the Indian board’s marketing committee that discussed it on Tuesday, confirmed the figures and said the package does not include internet or radio rights.”It’s the highest price ever that will be paid per match by a broadcaster to any national board,” Modi told Cricinfo. “To put the figure in perspective, the IPL gets around Rs 7 crore per match and the Champions League Twenty20 around Rs 6 crore per match. Besides, there is also the possibility that the total amount may increase going forward if India plays more games like it would, for instance, once the uncertainty surrounding India-Pakistan matches is resolved.”Nimbus, one of India’s leading television marketing companies, holds the rights at present, for which it paid $612 million – subsequently renegotiated to $549 million – in February 2006 for a deal that ends next March.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, journalist Pete O’Rourke has made a Leeds United transfer claim involving Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley.

The Lowdown: Whites ‘best placed’ to sign Barkley…

As per recent claims, the 27-year-old is a Whites transfer target ahead of the January as Bielsa eyes more options in the advanced positions.

Barkley has actually managed to impress Thomas Tuchel when called upon this season, with the German holding special praise last month, but that still hasn’t been enough to earn him more playing time. The England international has only featured in a handful of matches so far over 2021/22, prompting him to be linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Backing Leeds’ interest, Fichajes reported that Bielsa and sporting director Victor Orta by extension are the ‘best placed’ side in the race to sign Barkley as they enter pole position for him.

The Latest: O’Rourke backs claim…

While he doesn’t say if Leeds are winning the race, O’Rourke has made an interesting transfer claim involving the former Everton star and Bielsa.

As per his information, speaking to GiveMeSport, Barkley is the Whites manager’s ‘immediate target’ ahead of the winter window. O’Rourke explained:

“”Barkley is Bielsa’s immediate target in the January transfer window if he can get one in.”

The Verdict: Get it done?

The £110,000-per-week midfielder could feasibly revive his career at Elland Road and regain favour with Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate as the World Cup looms next year.

Leon Osman, Barkley’s former teammate at Goodison Park, has called the player an ‘exceptional talent’, and we believe he has the ability to become a success at Leeds.

Compiling his numbers from last season, the 27-year-old averaged a consistent 1.6 key passes per 90 during his temporary stint at Aston Villa, with only Leeds star Raphinha bettering that number among Bielsa’s squad over 2021/22 (WhoScored).

It’s clear that Barkley is capable of turning it on when he’s handed the chance, and Chelsea’s forgotten man could be an astute purchase for Leeds in January.

Sir Vivian Richards has called on Chris Gayle to put the West Indies contract dispute firmly behind him and lead his team in a manner befitting the region’s legacy

Andrew Miller10-Nov-2009Sir Vivian Richards has called on Chris Gayle to put the West Indies contract dispute firmly behind him and lead his team in a manner befitting the region’s legacy, as the team prepares to arrive in Australia on the eve of a Test campaign that will test the fragile peace that was brokered during meetings between the WICB and the players’ association last month.The team touches down in Australia on Wednesday, and Richards was cautiously optimistic that the reunited squad would put their recent troubles to one side. “The way it looks at the moment, it does suggest that there is a ceasefire,” he told Cricinfo. “But we all know what ceasefires are like. Let’s hope this is not a ceasefire like you get in the Middle East.”Gayle was a controversial choice as captain for the Australia tour, given his integral role in the stand-off with the board, and Daren Ganga was mentioned as a possible replacement following his inspirational leadership of Trinidad & Tobago in the recent Champions League.But there is no questioning Gayle’s status as the leading batsman in the Caribbean, and his absence was keenly felt earlier this year, as a second-string West Indies side slumped to an embarrassing home series defeat against Bangladesh, before being knocked out in the first round of the ICC Champions Trophy.””I think Daren Ganga is a good captain who thinks on his feet, and he’d have been quite appropriate, so presently the jury is out,” said Richards. “Gayle has got to go and show a different sort of attitude when he goes to Australia. He’s got to show that he wants to represent his people and represent them well, and not only them, but also the legacy that he’s representing. Let’s hope he has learned his lessons.”Gayle has been the subject of controversy throughout a torrid year, particularly during the unscheduled tour of England in May, when he arrived in the country barely 24 hours before the first Test at Lord’s, and went on to say in a newspaper interview that he “wouldn’t be so sad” if Test cricket died out. But having announced his availability for the Australia tour, Richards said he was prepared to take the captain’s declarations of full commitment at face value.”I take it on board when he says he feels pretty strong, even though he may not show the so-called enthusiasm,” said Richards. “Some people do things differently, and he’s one of those individuals who’s pretty laid back. But I still like to believe he wants to see West Indies cricket do well, and it’s up to him. He’s in the seat now to make that happen.”Even with a fully unified squad, the challenge that awaits West Indies would be arguably the toughest in the world game, and Richards – who made five Test tours of the country in the course of his illustrious career – knows from personal experience just what lies ahead.”An Australia tour can make or break a team,” he said. “They are like that. They are a pretty competitive bunch of folks. Over the years, I’ve always loved competing against the Aussies, because you knew they weren’t going to give you half-measures, they were going to give you their all. You knew to what capacity you were going to have to raise your level. And that, to me, was always interesting.”The Aussies were always ready and available verbally, whether with ball in hand or not. And I appreciated that aggressive stuff because I am a competitor myself, and these were the things that made me think. I hope that Gayle and the guys can deal with that, especially coming back from the dispute. Let’s hope that he [recognises] the job he has to do now, and makes sure that he gels that team, and hopefully, if this ceasefire lasts, builds a team that can be competitive in the future.”Few people give West Indies a realistic chance of putting up a fight against Australia – Brian Lara, who led their last tour to the country in 2005-06, predicted recently that they would receive a “hiding” – but it is not all doom and gloom in the Caribbean, thanks to the exploits of Trinidad & Tobago, who captured the imaginations with their enterprising performances in last month’s Champions League in India, in which they finished as runners-up.”The way things have played out in the media, a lot of people would think there’s nothing happening in the Caribbean,” said Richards. “But they have given us the light, and shown the world that our club structure is as good as any club structure around the world. Even though they didn’t win the tournament, to me, the message was already sent that West Indies cricket is still very much alive.”Nevertheless, Richards did not believe that Trinidad’s success as an individual island would lead to further ructions within the fabric of West Indies cricket. “I don’t think we have very far to go where those matters are concerned,” he said. “Barbados tried that once [in 1967] when they took on the Rest of the World, because of the number of players they had in the West Indies team at the time, and they took a hiding. They are going to need more volume, there are so many people around the Caribbean with so much talent. They must be given an opportunity. That’s the format that we have and that’s how I’d like it to remain.”Sir Vivian Richards is an ambassador for the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority

Wolverhampton Wanderers were incredibly close to securing a loan deal for Renato Sanches in the summer, and continue to be connected with the Lille midfielder going into the January transfer window.

The Ligue 1 side and Wolves could not come to an agreement to sign the player on a temporary basis with the two clubs ending talks on deadline day, but Bruno Lage is reportedly keen to reignite interest to bring the Portuguese player to the Premier League.

The 24-year-old has been turning heads with a number of clubs taking an interest in the Portuguese midfielder, including Liverpool and Arsenal, which could cause hiccups for Wolves and Lage’s chances of securing a deal, especially if the two clubs were to pursue rumoured interest.

According to Birmingham Live, Wolves have been given the green light to go back in for the Portugal international, along with the other clubs who have been linked.

The £27m-rated gem was hailed by Monaco manager, Niko Kovac, when he coached Sanches at Bayern Munich, earning quite the review:

“Renato has an exceptionally good technique, very good speed and a great body,” he said.

Lage revealed his plans for the winter last week and by securing a deal for the Lille dynamo, the Wolves boss could live up to his promise.

He commented: “I just want top players and when I say top players, it’s not about how much they cost, it’s about the mentality they have.”

And in Sanches, he’d certainly find a player with an elite mentality, somebody capable of taking this Wolves team to the next level.

The box to box midfielder was integral to Lille’s league title win last season, beating Paris Saint Germain to the top spot for the first time in a decade. He is well established and proven in his role with the ability to play under pressure and adapt, after playing for two of the biggest European clubs, Bayern Munich and Benfica, winning multiple trophies, and completing 32 appearances for the Portugal international side too.

Lage could definitely use a player of Sanches’ varied experience and youth in a midfield, especially with Moutinho now 35 years old, he would be the perfect addition to add depth and quality to the centre of the pitch for Wolves.

Whether the Molineux outfit can strike a deal with Lille remains to be seen, and with other Premier League clubs now taking a shine to the midfielder, they will need to make him an offer he cannot refuse, which will likely include consistent first-team football. Either way, he’s certainly a player that can help Lage fulfil his promise in the winter market.

Focado na reta final do Brasileirão, o Corinthians se movimenta também para renovar contratos dos jogadores. Após o empate sem gols com o Grêmio, por exemplo, o goleiro Cássio e o zagueiro Balbuena detalharam as conversas em andamento.

Aos 30 anos, Cássio tem contrato até o fim de 2019. De acordo com o goleiro, as tratativas são para renovar o vínculo por mais uma temporada, até o fim de 2020, e o acordo pode ser selado nas próximas semanas.

– Realmente estamos conversando. Acho que em mais uma ou duas semanas pode se resolver. Estou muito feliz aqui no Corinthians – afirmou o goleiro, que chegou ao clube em 2012.

Balbuena, por sua vez, tem um contrato vigente mais curto. O atual vínculo do zagueiro vai apenas até o fim de 2018, e as partes negociam um acordo por mais quatro anos. O paraguaio, porém, diz “esquecer” as tratativas por conta da reta final do Brasileirão e deixa o assunto a cargo de seus empresários.

– Eles se reuniram lá, falaram desse aspecto da renovação, ele (empresário) não me falou em detalhes como foi essa reunião, tem uma nova reunião aqui quando ele vier. Em princípio seria um contrato de quatro anos, só isso que eu sei. Os detalhes ainda não me falaram, porque eu não gosto muito de tirar o foco do trabalho, temos muitos jogos seguidos, estamos focando mais no trabalhamos que estamos fazendo, no jogo. Vai ter tempo para a gente conversar, mas o importante é que há intenção de ambas as partes e isso que vale. Então a gente está tranquilo nesse sentido. Como falei, meu foco é poder trabalhar para tentar ajudar a equipe no jogo – afirmou o zagueiro de 26 anos, que chegou ao clube no início de 2016.

– Lógico que todos os jogadores se sentem felizes (por serem procurados antes para a renovação de contrato), isso é um fato de que meu trabalho está tendo efeito, fico feliz que meu trabalho esteja sendo notado a ponto de eles me chamarem para renovar, então logicamente eu valorizo muito isso, eu conheço o pessoal da diretoria, sempre tratam todo mundo muito bem, então a gente não tem o que falar mal deles e o mais importante é que há um bom relacionamento que é mútuo. O mais importante agora é seguir trabalhando para conseguir nosso objetivo que é o título – acrecentou Balbuena.

Além da dupla, outro jogador que negocia a renovação de contrato é Fagner. O vínculo do lateral-direito vai até o fim de 2018, e as partes já tiveram reunião por um acordo mais longo.

O Fluminense está pronto para enfrentar o Bahia. Na manhã deste sábado, Abel Braga comandou uma atividade técnica no CT Pedro Antonio, exigindodos jogadores a manutenção da posse da bola e muita movimentação em campo. No entanto, como o treino foi fechado à imprensa, segue o mistério quanto à escalação do Flu para o jogo no Maracanã, válido pela 31ª rodada do Brasileiro.

Douglas, Wellington Silva e Henrique participaram da atividade no gramado e podem voltar ao titular de Abel neste domingo. O volante ficou fora de dois jogos após ter dores articulares novamente, enquanto Wellington Silva já foi acionado pelo técnico no segundo tempo da partida contra o Flamengo.

O zagueiro, por sua vez, está sem atuar há mais de 40 dias. Henrique recuperou-se de uma lesão muscular e treina com os demais jogadores há duas semanas, mas a comissão técnica trata com cautela seu retorno. A ideia é que o capitão seja titular no clássico decisivo contra o Fla, pela Sul-Americana.

A provável escalação do Fluminense contra o Bahia é: Diego Cavalieri; Lucas, Gum (Henrique), Reginaldo e Marlon; Richard, Wendel (Douglas), Gustavo Scarpa e Sornoza; Marcos Junior (Wellington Silva) e Henrique Dourado.

An update has emerged on Newcastle United target Seko Fofana, regarding RC Lens’ valuation of his services…

What’s the talk?

According to French outlet Jeunes Footeux, the Ligue 1 outfit are looking for a fee in the region of £25m (€30m) for the midfielder.

The Magpies are reportedly keen on a deal for the former Manchester City youth player as Eddie Howe looks to bolster his squad in January.

Forget Willock

Newcastle reportedly paid £25m to bring Joe Willock to the club on a permanent deal in the summer after his initial loan spell at St. James’ Park. He has been able to live up to his price tag, as of yet, however, as he has struggled on the pitch this season.

The former Arsenal man has averaged a dismal WhoScored rating of 6.47 in the Premier League, failing to produce a single goal or assist in 14 matches. He is averaging 1.1 dribbles and 0.7 key passes per game, showing that he is not making a huge impact with the ball at his feet for the Magpies.

Fofana, meanwhile, has been in sensational form for Lens in Ligue 1 and is showing that he has quality in possession for his side. He is averaging 2.2 dribbles and 1.2 key passes per game across 18 matches, which means that he has completed 40 dribbles and 22 key passes in Ligue 1.

With that in mind, it’s hardly a surprise he’s been dubbed a “phenom” by journalist Zach Lowy and “unbelievable” by author Tom Scholes for his displays in 2021/22.

The Ivorian has averaged a WhoScored rating of 7.13 to illustrate how consistent he has been throughout the season so far. He is performing to a high level and providing quality on a regular basis in the final third, with five goals to go along with his dribbling and creativity.

Fofana once claimed that he is inspired by ex-Manchester City and Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure, saying: “He inspired me a lot. When we went on tour, we spoke about everything and nothing. I had some times that I will never forget. And on the pitch, he was a role model for me, with his long runs forward, his assists, his goals. He was able to do almost everything, he was complete.”

PIF must now splash the £25m Lens want in January in order to complete a deal for the 6 foot 1 colossus. If he is able to translate his form for Lens over to Newcastle then he could be a sizable upgrade on Willock and offer them the threat in possession from midfield that Howe’s team is currently lacking.

يعتقد النجم البرازيلي رونالدينيو أن برشلونة يمر بمرحلة انتقالية ولديه كل شيء للعودة إلى القمة، بالنظر إلى مدربه تشافي هيرنانديز ولاعبيه وصفقاته الجديدة.

لعب رونالدينيو لبرشلونة في الفترة بين عامي 2003 و2008، وتألق بقميص الفريق الكتالوني.

وأكد رونالدينيو في تصريحاته التي نشرتها صحيفة “موندو ديبورتيفو” الإسبانية: “برشلونة لديه مدرب رائع ولاعبون رائعون، وبعض الوافدين الجدد، ولديه أيضًا لاعبون شبان موهوبون للغاية”.

وأضاف: “برشلونة لديه كل شيء للعودة إلى القمة، النادي يمر بمرحلة انتقالية، أتمنى أن يسير كل شيء على ما يرام”.

كما أشار البرازيلي: “برشلونة هو النادي الذي لعبت فيه أطول فترة في مسيرتي، إنه فريق أحبه”.

عندما سئل عما إذا كان ميسي هو أفضل لاعب في كل العصور، لم يكن صريحًا: “من الصعب القول، هناك الكثير من اللاعبين الآخرين”.

وأردف رونالدينيو: “لا أحب المقارنة، لديك مارادونا، بيليه، هناك الكثير … كل واحد منهم كان الأفضل في وقته”.

وعن كرة القدم البلجيكية، أشار رونالدينيو إلى كيفن دي بروين، لاعب وسط مانشستر سيتي، باعتباره اللاعب الذي يحبه أكثر، وإيدن هازارد جناح ريال مدريد، أكثر من يشبهه بسبب مراوغاته.

The Trinidad & Tobago captain, has termed West Indian cricket as being stuck a decade behind

Cricinfo staff17-Nov-2009

Daren Ganga, the Trinidad & Tobago captain, has termed West Indian cricket as being stuck a decade behind. Ganga has called for officials in the Caribbean region to professionalise the game in order to lift the side back to a competitive level in global cricket.”I know that there is a new board [in T&T] and they are still settling down, but I would like to make a call to [for them] to assist local clubs and help them to become more professional,” he said. “When clubs operate in an amateurish manner, the players cannot advance quickly. It was mentioned that Adrian Barath played for this club at age 14. Maybe, he would have been able to do it earlier if the circumstances were different.”Ganga, whose influence has been a major factor in bringing T&T from near-bottom to the top in regional cricket within a few years, said the West Indies Cricket Board had plenty of catching up to do. “What we have been doing for training and in camps seven years ago, we are still doing today,’ he said. “There has been no change in our approach to preparation and this is keeping us way behind. We are at least ten years behind in terms of technology and this must change.”I remember when Ramnaresh Sarwan, Chris Gayle, and myself went to Australia as young players on the West Indies team, we felt really bad, when we saw what guys like Michael Clarke and Shane Watson were exposed to,” he said. “The training they were putting down was something we have never done before and we were amazed. What was even more amazing was the fact that Watson and Clarke had not even made the Australian national team up until that time.”West Indies cricket is on the verge of recovering from the contracts crisis which led to many senior players going on strike. A full-strength squad, however, was named for the tour of Australia.
