Queensland are on the verge of a crucial Sheffield Shield win after their bowlers quelled Tasmania’s fightback on day three at Bellerive.All seven batters at the top of the Tasmania order made starts in their second innings, but no one could replicate the day one century from Queensland and Test opener Usman Khawaja that set the tone for the game.Instead, Queensland reached 26 for 1 at stumps in their second innings on Saturday, needing another 56 to win. Barring a miracle Tasmanian bowling performance, the visitors will wrap up the match before lunch on Sunday.Related

Neser's six-wicket burst leaves Queensland in command

Queensland started the second-last Shield round in second-last place, but their likely win will keep them in contention for the final.Michael Neser put Queensland in the box seat on day two with his six wickets in 39 balls, then took another two on Saturday, giving him eight for the game.But after being made to follow-on 264 runs behind, Tasmania put up a fight in their second innings. They resumed on at 70 for 1 and opener Jake Weatherald top-scored with 71 as Tim Ward, Jordan Silk and Test allrounder Beau Webster also scored half-centuries.Neser made the first breakthrough, trapping Weatherald lbw after he had hit nine fours and a six in his 81-ball innings.After Ben McDermott’s great catch off the legspin of Mitch Swepson dismissed Ward, Doran and Silk put on 74 for the fourth wicket to give Tasmania some hope that they could put themselves back in the game.Jack Wildermuth then had Doran caught behind and, crucially, Mark Steketee trapped Silk lbw in the next over to put the brakes on the fightback.Webster rallied the tailenders to ensure Queensland would bat again, but the wickets fell steadily – including a brutal yorker from Neser that bowled Kieran Elliott.Steketee was the pick of the attack, taking 3 for 87 from 23 overs as Xavier Bartlett and Swepson claimed two wickets apiece.Riley Meredith had Matt Renshaw caught behind for 11 to start Queensland’s second innings but Khawaja and Jack Clayton will aim to wrap up the match on Sunday.

دي لافوينتي: منتخب إسبانيا يمتلك جاذبية خاصة.. ولا أهتم بتحطيم رقم ديل بوسكي

تحدث الإسباني لويس دي لافوينتي، المدير الفني لمنتخب إسبانيا الأول لكرة القدم، عن مباراة بلغاريا في تصفيات كأس العالم 2026.

ويستضيف ملعب “نويفو خوسيه زوريلا” مباراة منتخبي إسبانيا وبلغاريا، في خضم تصفيات قارة أوروبا المؤهلة إلى النسخة المقبلة من كأس العالم، التي تستضيفها أمريكا، كندا والمكسيك.

ويمتلك منتخب إسبانيا 9 نقاط في صدارة المجموعة الخامسة، في حين أن بلغاريا لا تمتلك أي نقاط حيث تحتل المركز الرابع والأخير.

وقال دي لافوينتي، في تصريحات نقلتها صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية: “جميع اللاعبين يمنحونني الثقة، لقد أثبتوا جميعًا أنهم في مستوى استثنائي، سنرى كيف سيتطور أداء من لعبوا يوم السبت، لدي فكرة بالفعل لكننا سندفع بفريق يتمتع بأقصى درجات الثقة والمستوى العالي”.

وأكمل: “الفريق متعطش جدًا للفوز وسنقوم بإشراك اللاعبين المناسبين للمنافسة وتحقيق الثلاث نقاط، أعتقد أن المنتخب الوطني لديه جاذبية خاصة في أسلوب لعبه، لا أرى سوى تألق القميص الأحمر على الملعب”.

وعن الإصابات أوضح: “لقد عملنا على صحة اللاعبين لفترة طويلة، تواجدت سلسلة من الحالات الخاصة التي استدعت خروج بعضهم عن المعسكر، يتعرض اللاعبون للإصابة في كل مباراة بالدوري ورغم ذلك لا أعرف لماذا يُبالغون في التعامل مع إصابات اللاعبين مع المنتخب الوطني، هذه هي ظروف كرة القدم”.

وعن تحطيم رقم ديل بوسكي الشهير بخوض 29 مباراة بدون هزيمة أتم: “الجيل الحالي مختلف عن جيل 2010، ليس من السهل الحفاظ على هذه الأرقام القياسية، لم أتحدث عن ذلك مع اللاعبين لأن ما يهمنا هو التأهل لكأس العالم”.

Nottingham Forest now agree deal to sign gem with same agent as Chris Wood

Nottingham Forest have now agreed a deal to sign an “exceptional” defender, who was at the City Ground yesterday to finalise the move, it has been revealed.

Forest looking to strengthen squad amid Nuno "concern"

Nuno Espirito Santo has repeatedly made it clear that he wants to bring more new signings through the door before the upcoming transfer deadline, recently saying: “There are things that I myself cannot control. What I said is, and I had a long thought about it, is my concern for the squad,”

“These boys last season achieved something fantastic. If we as a club don’t help them in terms of numbers, in terms of quality and talent, everything will go.”

The need for more fresh faces was underlined yesterday, with Forest suffering a shock 3-0 defeat at home against West Ham United, which is unlikely to have done the manager any favours heading into clear-the-air talks with owner Evangelos Marinakis.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis watches on.

There is also well-known to be a rift between Nuno and Edu, with the two falling out over which players to bring to the City Ground this summer, but there is now one deal thought to be edging towards completion.

According to transfer expert Pete O’Rourke on X, Nottingham Forest have now agreed a deal to sign Linfield and Northern Ireland U21 defender Matthew Orr, who was at the City Ground to watch the clash against West Ham on Sunday and finalise the move.

At just 18-years-old, the youngster is likely to be one for the future, but he has already started to catch the eye for Linfield at senior level.

Nottingham Forest submit huge £50m+ package to sign "complete" PSG star

They’re eyeing one last blockbuster move…

ByTom Cunningham Aug 31, 2025 "Exceptional" Orr could become "top player"

Linfield midfielder and coach Chris Shields has been left very impressed by the Forest-bound defender in the past, saying: “I remember Matty training – he was a sleight kid then, so I had to do a double take when he came into senior training. I was questioning if it was the same person because he had filled out over a couple of years.

“He’s met everything head on and his skill level at one-on-one defending is one of the best I’ve seen. He’s exceptional.”

Shields is not the only person who has singled the Linfield starlet out for praise either, with manager David Healy saying: “Matthew is a great young talent with a lot of potential to develop into a top player. He has taken his opportunities and his dedication and hard work have paid off.”

Despite still being a teenager, Orr, who shares the same CAA Base agency as Chris Wood, has already established himself as a first-team regular for Linfield, making 37 first-team appearances, so he is clearly a top prospect, who could be capable of pushing for a starting spot at Forest within a couple of years’ time.

Aston Villa now pushing for "incredible" late signing after shock £47m bid

With Monday’s transfer deadline fast approaching, Aston Villa have reportedly launched a shock £47m offer to sign a late midfield reinforcement for Unai Emery.

Aston Villa's late transfer plan

The Villans are attempting to salvage their summer after battling with PSR constraints since the end of last season. So far, the current window has seen Evann Guessand, Yasin Ozcan and Marco Bizot all arrive, but after Emery revealed his desire to have two players in every position, the Midlands club may not be done with their incomings just yet.

The rumours have been coming thick and fast since those words and all eyes are now on Monchi as Aston Villa look to bolster their squad one final time this summer.

Of those mentioned, the biggest name has been Marco Asensio. It seemed as though Aston Villa were destined to miss out on the Spaniard after an excellent loan spell last season, but fresh reports have now indicated that they’ve made their move and he could be on the way.

Marco Asensio celebrates for Aston Villa

The Paris Saint-Germain winger was a real difference-maker for the Villans last season and would no doubt add the further firepower that they’ve lacked in recent weeks.

The same, meanwhile, can be said for another Premier League rival that Aston Villa have already reportedly launched a shock bid to sign late on in the window.

Aston Villa launch shock Paqueta bid

According to Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa have launched a £47m bid to sign Lucas Paqueta from West Ham United before the transfer window slams shut.

West Ham's Lucas Paqueta celebrates his goal against Wolves in the Carabao Cup.

Those in the Midlands are reportedly pushing to secure his signature, but remain without the green light from the Hammers, who are keen to keep hold of the Brazilian.

Aston Villa eye shock hijack for star who's on the verge joining Man Utd

The Villans could deal the Red Devils a major blow.

ByTom Cunningham Aug 31, 2025

It seems like West Ham are in no mood to compromise, either. TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook has been quick to burst Villa’s bubble, reporting that a move, at this stage, is unlikely for Paqueta with West Ham unwilling to agree a loan deal that includes an obligation to buy. As such, Villa are not in a position to afford the midfield star.

Things can quickly change in a transfer window, however, and Paqueta remains one to watch. Dubbed “incredible” by David Moyes during his time at West Ham, the South American is certainly one worth fighting for.

Torrent Group to buy majority stake in Gujarat Titans

Subject to the final approval, the new owners could likely be involved from IPL 2025

Nagraj Gollapudi10-Feb-2025

Gujarat Titans had won the IPL title in their inaugural season•BCCI

Torrent Group, an Indian business conglomerate with headquarters in Ahmedabad, is set to buy a majority stake in 2022 IPL champions Gujarat Titans (GT). ESPNcricinfo has learned that Torrent will buy a 67% stake in GT from CVC Capital Partners (Irelia Company Pte Ltd), who bought the franchise in 2021.At the moment, further details, including the valuation of the stake divested by CVC, could not be confirmed. It is understood the IPL is processing the paperwork before a final nod is given by the league’s governing council. Subject to the final approval, GT’s new owners could likely be involved from the 2025 season, which starts on March 21.CVC, a global private equity fund, had paid INR 5625 crore (US$ 750 million approx.) in 2021 to buy GT, who won the IPL in their first season (2022), made the final the following year (2023) and finished eighth in 2024. GT’s home base is the Narendra Modi Stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium with a capacity of over 100,000.Incidentally, Torrent Group’s subsidiary, Torrent Sports Ventures Private Limited, was among the final nine bidders at the walk-in auction conducted by the BCCI in 2021 to add two new franchises to the original eight.The bidders then could bid for six cities, which included Indore, Dharamsala, Guwahati and Cuttack along with Ahmedabad and Lucknow, the eventual winners. Torrent bid for Ahmedabad (INR 4653 cr) and Lucknow (INR 4356 cr). In 2023, Torrent bid unsuccessfully for three of the ten cities put up for bidding by the BCCI to start the five-team WPL.As per the company’s website, Torrent Group has a valuation of about INR 41,000 crore and is among one of the top multinational companies in India, spearheaded by two prominent subsidiaries: Torrent Power and Torrent Pharma. It is understood that Jinal Mehta, director of Torrent Group, will oversee the IPL investment.”With the acquisition of a majority stake in the Gujarat Titans, we are excited to have the opportunity to elevate our fan experience and unlock new growth avenues in the years to come,” Mehta said. “We are committed to nurturing the Gujarat Titans team and creating a lasting legacy for everyone involved – our fanbase, the players and our employees. With a proven track-record of delivering high quality products and services across multiple sectors, Torrent is well-positioned to set new standards of excellence in the Sports industry through the acquisition of Gujarat Titans”.The GT investment was CVC’s first successful foray into cricket. The global fund manager, which has offices across the globe, had previously bid for Delhi Capitals in 2018 after GMR Group divested stake in the franchise, which eventually was bought by Jindal South West (JSW) for INR 550 crore approx. at the time.GT are led by India batter Shubman Gill and also have Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan, England white-ball captain Jos Buttler and India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj among others.

Sullivan loves him: "Incredible" manager could replace Potter at West Ham

An “incredible” manager has now emerged as a contender to replace Graham Potter at West Ham United, it has been revealed.

Potter's future in doubt after yet another defeat

Potter would’ve been hoping that the surprise 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest before the international break could be a turning point, but his side once again came up short over the weekend, this time falling to a 3-0 defeat at home against Tottenham.

Speaking after his side’s third loss in four Premier League games, the West Ham boss said: “I understand because the scoreline is the scoreline and I understand why people are upset,”

“We are a new team and we have to stick together and focus on the things we’ve done well and see where we can improve.”

West Ham make offer for £14m Tottenham ace with January move now possible

The Hammers have made an approach to sign an “outstanding” player, who is keen on a move to a new Premier League club.

ByDominic Lund Sep 14, 2025

However, having been in charge since January and been given the opportunity to bring in his own players in the summer, it remains to be seen how much longer the Englishman can last, considering his record up to this point is extremely poor.

The 50-year-old has averaged just 0.96 points per match, and has the second-worst Premier League win percentage of any West Ham manager at just 27.3%.

As such, the Hammers’ hierarchy are now starting to run the rule over potential replacements, according to reporter Alan Nixon (via GiveMeSport), who states David Sullivan is an admirer of former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo.

Nuno was a huge success at The City Ground, meaning he has now emerged as a contender to replace Potter at West Ham, but they may have to move quickly, given that the 51-year-old is likely to be attracting interest courtesy of the job he did at Forest.

"Incredible" Nuno could be an ideal Potter replacement

At this stage, the Hammers are looking like serious relegation candidates, having lost three of their opening four games, which leaves them 18th in the Premier League table.

Consequently, it would make sense to bring in a manager with a proven track record of being able to transform struggling sides into European contenders, and that is exactly what the former Forest boss managed to do in his last job.

After taking over a Forest side that only narrowly avoided relegation the season prior, the Portuguese coach led them to the Europa League, and he was praised for the “incredible” job he did by Sky Sports’ Sam Obaseki, while also receiving plaudits from Fabrizio Romano.

Nuno could be an excellent appointment for West Ham, given that he is vastly experienced in the Premier League, having also managed Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Sullivan should move swiftly to ensure he wins the race.

قرار مفاجئ من الدوري الإسباني بشأن إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في ميامي

أصدرت رابطة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم، منذ قليل، بيانًا رسميًا فيما يخص مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في إطار منافسات البطولة المحلية لذلك الموسم، والذي كان من المقرر إقامته خارج إسبانيا.

كانت رابطة الليجا والاتحاد الأوروبي للكرة القدم قد وافقا، في وقت سابق، على إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في الجولة السابعة عشر من الدوري الإسباني يوم 20 ديسمبر في ميامي الأمريكية.

وتسبب ذلك القرار في حالة غضب شديد لدى قادة الفرق في الليجا، حسبما أعلنت رابطة لاعبي كرة القدم الإسبانية، كما تقدم ريال مدريد بشكوى إلى المجلس الإسباني لكرة القدم اليوم اعتراضًا على ذلك.

وفي هذا الصدد، أعلنت رابطة الدوري الإسباني منذ قليل إلغاء إقامة مباراة برشلونة وفياريال في ميامي، بعد التشاور مع الشركة المنظمة للحدث، بسبب ردود الفعل التي وقعت في إسبانيا الفترة الأخيرة تجاه ذلك المشروع.

وقالت رابطة الدوري الإسباني: “نود الكشف أنه بعد مناقشات مع الجهة المنظمة لمباراة الدوري الإسباني، بين برشلونة وفياريال في ميامي، فقد تقرر إلغاء الحدث، نظرًا للوضع غير المستقر الذي شهدته إسبانيا خلال الأسابيع القليلة الماضية”.

وأضافت: “نود الإعراب عن أسفنا الشديد لعدم إمكانية إقامة هذا الحدث، الذي كان يمثل فرصة تاريخية لا مثيل لها لتسويق كرة القدم الإسبانية، حيث كان من شأن إقامة مباراة رسمية خارج حدودنا أن تشكل خطوة حاسمة في التوسع العالمي لمسابقتنا، مما يعزز الحضور الدولي للأندية، ومكانة اللاعبين، وعلامة كرة القدم الإسبانية في سوق استراتيجي كالولايات المتحدة”.

وواصلت: “لقد امتثل المشروع تمامًا للوائح الاتحاد، ولم يؤثر على نزاهة المسابقة، كما أقرت بذلك الجهات المختصة المشرفة على الامتثال، والتي عارضتها لأسباب أخرى”.

واسترسلت: “وفي ظل تزايد التنافسية العالمية، حيث تواصل دوريات مثل الدوري الإنجليزي، وكذلك مسابقات مثل دوري أبطال أوروبا، توسيع نطاقها وقدرتها على توليد الموارد، تُعد مبادرات كهذه ضرورية لضمان استدامة ونمو كرة القدم الإسبانية”.

وأوضحت: “إغفال هذه الفرص يعيق توليد إيرادات جديدة، كما يحد من قدرة الأندية على الاستثمار والمنافسة، بخلاف ذلك فإنه يحد من الانتشار الدولي لمنظومة كرة القدم الوطنية بأكملها”.

واختمت: “نتقدم بالشكر للأندية على استعدادها وتعاونها في هذا المشروع، وعلى التزامها المستمر بنمو المسابقة، نحن سنواصل العمل، كعادتنا، لإيصال كرة القدم الإسبانية إلى جميع أنحاء العالم، من خلال رؤية منفتحة وحديثة وتنافسية تعود بالنفع على الأندية واللاعبين والجماهير”.
