ScorecardThe eighth wicket pair of Xavier Doherty and Luke Butterworth batted for 48 overs to secure a draw•Getty Images
Victoria’s press for a second win in the tournament was shut out by Luke Butterworth’s third first-class century as Tasmania salvaged a draw in Melbourne.Butterworth began the day on 6 and his side was still 407 runs in arrears. He displayed remarkable patience and carried his bat through the day, refusing to provide any opportunity for the Bushrangers to orchestrate a turnaround. Tim Paine, the Tigers’ captain, was equally stoic in his 158-ball vigil for 44 as only two wickets fell in the entire day’s play.The Bushrangers’ only hope came when Paine was run-out and Ben Hilfenhaus bagged a duck, but the wobble was remedied as Xavier Doherty lasted 139 balls for his 20 and his 70-run stand for the eighth wicket with Butterworth lasted 48 overs to shut Victoria outBoth teams lag in the bottom half of the points table with the Tigers on 16 from nine games played and the Bushrangers with 10.
There was no disguising Ashley Giles’ downbeat mood when he considered England’s continued losing run under his leadership

Ashley Giles and his fielding coach Paul Collingwood are looking for a ray of sunshine•Getty Images
It was once said by PG Wodehouse that “it is never difficult to distinguish between a Scotsman with a grievance and a ray of sunshine.”While it might be stretching a point to describe Ashley Giles, the England limited-overs coach, as a man with a grievance, there was no disguising his low mood when he appeared before the media in Barbados on Wednesday.It is understandable, too. His side has now been beaten five times in succession in T20I cricket and has lost the series against West Indies with one game in hand. Furthermore, the batting appears vulnerable against spin – the top-order batting appears vulnerable against everything – and his captain, Stuart Broad, has an injury that might well prove rather more troublesome than the England camp are letting on. At some stage, his injured knee is going to require several weeks off and, perhaps, an operation.As if all that was not enough, Giles takes this struggling team to Bangladesh in a few days to contest a World T20 tournament for which they appear woefully unprepared. And he does so knowing that his application to become England coach in all formats might well be decided by the outcome.So Giles was noticeably downbeat and admitted he was concerned by England’s poor form. While he celebrated the encouraging performance of Jos Buttler in the second T20I, he stressed that the middle order could not consistently be expected to bail England out of a mess if the top order has failed.”Sure, we’re concerned,” Giles said. “We’ve lost five in a row. Clearly we’re not playing very good Twenty20 cricket and we haven’t done for a period now.”We’ll go into the tournament as underdogs. We’re just not getting into matches. That’s the biggest concern. Four of the last five occasions we’ve been three down at six overs. The other time we were two down. If you consistently do that, you’re behind the eight ball.”As good as the players we’ve got coming into our middle order, it’s very difficult for them to salvage games from those positions. Jos Buttler was fantastic and showed a glimpse of his world-class quality. But unfortunately we’re working from a low-base after six overs quite a lot. And from that position it gives you very little chance to kick-on and attack all the way through your innings. You have to go through a certain amount of rebuilding. So that’s disappointing and it is frustrating.”We’re consistently having problems with spin as well, so we have to keep working on those skills against spin. In Bangladesh it’s definitely going to play a part. We’d be naïve and stupid to think that probably every team we come up against is not going to open up with spin against us.”We have to try to find a formula at the top. I know you guys will say ‘isn’t that a worry?’ going into a world tournament that you don’t know what your best top three is, but before the one we won here, the opening partnership changed a couple of games before the tournament, so it’s not the end of the world.”The problem for Giles is instilling confidence into a group of players who are beginning to become uncomfortably familiar with defeat. He knows that, if England are to even challenge in Bangladesh, they have to play a brand of positive cricket that currently looks beyond them. But he also knows that, the more the side lose, the more hesitant and uncertain they will become.”Our message is, quite clearly, ‘go and express yourselves, we back you, go and play your way,'” Giles said. “The guys in those positions, we’ve backed them, we support them, we keep working with them and we need them to start putting in some results as well. They know that.”But I think, as much as you say that, you have to understand that guys who are struggling for runs – in the heat of battle, with options going through their head – are sometimes going to hesitate. And if you slightly back off that option just before you make it, then you’re going to get into trouble.”Losing isn’t great preparation. Confidence is important and winning games is always good for the side.”But the wickets we’ve played on against this side are actually pretty good for where we’re going and who we’re going to be playing against. And we’ve come up also against a very, very good side here.”There are signs, however, that Giles’ faith in his own team is starting to wear. He knows he lacks a spinner to compete with the likes of Sunil Narine, or an opening batsman to compare to Chris Gayle”We can’t ‘magic’ guys out of thin air,” he said. “West Indies have great personnel at the moment. We’ve got very good personnel, but very different.”But we have to work with what we have, and I think we’ve got some very good players in the side.”

England seamers Anya Shrubsole and Jenny Gunn pushed India’s campaign in the Women’s World T20 further off course with a resounding five-wicket loss, their second in as many matches
ESPNcricinfo staff26-Mar-2014 ScorecardAnya Shrubsole refused to let India Women off the hook•ICCIndia’s campaign in the Women’s World T20 slipped further off course as they suffered a heavy five-wicket loss to England in Sylhet. Anya Shrubsole and Jenny Gunn wrecked the batting line-up, which if not for Mithali Raj’s half-century might have presented a grimmer sight than the eventual 98 for 9.The two England seamers were remarkably effective, accounting for six batsmen and costing only 21 runs from their full quota. The fielders backed them up too, with Lydia Greenway picking up a sharp catch and effecting a difficult run-out early on. Shrubsole was judged Player of the Match for figures of 4-1-6-3.India seemed to have exhausted their stock of good luck after winning the toss as they slumped to 31 for 5 in the ninth over, with all those dismissed failing to reach double-figures. At the other end, the captain Raj struck a doughty 56-ball 57, including eight fours to keep her side afloat. Her dismissal in the 17th over ended all hopes for late acceleration, but India managed to last the 20 overs.Seamer Soniya Dabir orchestrated a minor top-order stutter during England’s chase, but England knew they had enough time to overhaul the target. Opener Sarah Taylor had afforded her side some momentum at the top with a 29-ball 28 and Greenway came in at No. 4 to hold one end up. There was a bit of excitement at the back end when Natalie Sciver was run-out off a direct hit, but by that time England only had 11 more runs left to pocket their first victory of the tournament.
O Corinthians perderá dois de seus principais jogadores para a Seleção Olímpica: Mateus Vital e Pedrinho. Ambos foram convocados pelo técnico André Jardine para disputarem o Torneio de Toulon, na França, e desfalcarão o Alvinegro em quatro partidas até a parada para a Copa América. Duílio Monteiro Alves, diretor de futebol do Timão, explicou a decisão de cedê-los.
– Primeiro que é importante não só pela parte financeira (referindo-se a uma valorização da dupla), mas para os jogadores também é importante disputar o Torneio de Toulon. Demonstraram muita vontade de servir à Seleção. Conversando com a comissão técnica vimos que seria importante, até pelo amadurecimento deles – afirmou o cartola corintiano.

Anton Roux, Netherlands’ interim coach, believes his side can take plenty of encouragement from their performances at the World T20, even though doubt surrounds his own position and the future of Dutch cricket
Alan Gardner in Chittagong30-Mar-2014Anton Roux, Netherlands’ interim coach, believes his side can take plenty of encouragement from their performances at the World T20, even though doubt surrounds his own position and the future of Dutch cricket.Netherlands missed out on qualification for the 2015 World Cup, as well the financial incentives that would have brought, and consequently lost their ODI status, potentially making it harder to arrange fixtures. Roux stepped up to take charge of the team after Peter Drinnen left towards the end of last year and does not yet know about whether he will be asked to do the job permanently. However, ahead of Netherlands’ last World T20 fixture, he was more focussed on the fact that his team had made a positive mark at the tournament.”There’s a lot of uncertainty but coming into this tournament I didn’t want to think too far ahead for myself but more importantly for these guys,” he said. “From a cricketing point of view, this has been one of the best tournaments I’ve been involved with, playing in front of sold-out crowds every night, games going down to the wire, the atmosphere being absolutely amazing and coupled with some extremely good cricket, that’s all you can ask for.”To think about what the future holds, for me personally or the Dutch team, we’ll cross that bridge when we get back home. All we focused on was doing well with the cricket and I think we’ve done that.”Netherlands made history with the fastest T20 chase in the first round to qualify ahead of Ireland as the only Associate in the Super 10 stage, knocking out Zimbabwe in the process. They were then bowled out for 39 by Sri Lanka, this time setting a record low, but then fell narrowly short of beating South Africa before pushing New Zealand hard on Saturday. Those performances have restored confidence after a backlash to being skittled by Sri Lanka.”It’s more the boys wanted to prove a point to themselves than to the public, because the cricketing public back home, after the 39 against Sri Lanka, it was just ridiculous what they were saying,” Roux said. “I think we’ve proved a point to ourselves that we can definitely compete at this level and that to me is just an awesome victory for us, how the boys changed it around and got themselves motivated and fought all the way to the end, that’s huge.”Netherlands have been on the road for five weeks, including a pre-tournament training camp in Dubai, and have experienced the full gamut of emotions during their World T20 campaign. Roux said they began their preparations by watching highlights of the famous 2009 win at Lord’s over England, who they will play in their final Group 1 game on Monday.Both teams have been eliminated from the semi-final equations but Netherlands will be aiming to add to their scrapbook of the 2014 tournament. Even if they lose, Roux will depart with a sense of satisfaction. “One of the things that was discussed was trying to rewrite and do our own memories on this trip,” he said. “The Irish game was a world record on its own, so I think we’ve achieved what we wanted to achieve.”England have endured a long and trying winter themselves and may present a less motivated opponent than Sri Lanka, South Africa and New Zealand. Netherlands underwent a light training session on Sunday morning and Roux said it was important his players were able to relax and focus on their own performances as they look for one last hurrah in Bangladesh before returning home to see the tulips in spring.”I think the challenge is not so much worrying about what England are feeling. There’s also a lot of drained bodies and tired minds in our camp, which is why today’s session was optional, to get our guys refreshed. In this group alone, apart from our game against Sri Lanka, all the games have gone pretty much down to the wire. That’s emotionally taxing, more than anything physical, so [the challenge is] to keep the guys nice and fresh and ready for that big upset again, because I’m sure it won’t be a walk in the park. It’s going to be a fight to the death – so hopefully we’ll be up for it.”
ScorecardRumana Ahmed and Lata Mondal were the key performers for Bangladesh Women in their 43-run victory in the first ODI against Pakistan Women in Cox’s Bazaar.Ahmed was the top scorer in a low-scoring contest, making 44 in the middle order to prop up a faltering innings. Bangladesh had slumped to 33 for 4 but Ahmed stayed firm at one end until her team reached 100. Shaila Sharmin scored 22 to steer Bangladesh to 133 for 6, but the innings folded after her dismissal. Bangladesh were eventually all out for 152 in 49.3 overs. Qanita Jalil took 3 for 26 in ten overs for Pakistan.Pakistan’s chase got off to a terrible start. Lata Mondal and Jahanara Alam cut through the top and middle order and the visitors were reduced to 63 for 8. Asmavia Iqbal’s 40 at No. 8 helped Pakistan limp past 100 but they were dismissed for 109 in 44.1 overs. Mondal finished with 4 for 35 in eight overs, while Alam took 3 for 22 in ten.
