semi-finals moved amid security concerns” plus 2 more- IPL semi-finals moved amid security concerns - Steve McClaren’s Twente one win from Dutch League title - Major League Baseball — Latest Round-Up IPL semi-finals moved amid security concerns Posted: 19 Apr 2010 02:37 PM PDT Two devices exploded before a match at Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium last weekend The IPL moves towards its climax later this week despite fresh security concerns. Two small devices exploded before a match at Bangalore's Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, forcing organisers to switch the semi-final's due to be played there to Mumbai. The match took place, allegedly against the wishes of Bangalore Royal Challengers’ Kevin Pietersen and Jacques Kallis, and more rudimentary devices were later destroyed by police. Leading figures at the Professional Cricketers Association, which represent English players, have voiced their concerns over player safety ahead of the 2011 World Cup, less than a year away. The PCA's legal director Ian Smith summed up their worst fears. "It’s becoming a more and more dangerous place, the risk profile is only headed in one direction," he said. “If it’s not safe today, what makes us think it’s going to be safe in a year’s time?" Security fears forced last year's IPL to be relocated to South Africa but despite concerns prior to this year's tournament, it returned to India. The tournaments Chairman Lalit Modi played down the significance of the attacks, but some foreign cricketers are showing increasing signs of unease at playing on the sub-continent. The scare also comes at an already awkward time for the competition, which has been beset by allegations of financial irregularity in recent weeks. India hosts 29 of next years 39 World Cup fixtures, starting in February. The number has already risen by eight after the tragic Lahore attacks on the Sri Lankan team last year led to Pakistan losing their 14 scheduled games. - Strauss voices concerns over County Cricket system - Experience may still give Inter the edge in Serie A title battle - ‘Spot fixing’ investigation taints County cricket openers Steve McClaren’s Twente one win from Dutch League title Posted: 19 Apr 2010 02:45 AM PDT Steve McLaren is one win away from securing the first domestic league title of his managerial career. FC Twente now need just three points from their final game in the Dutch Eredivisie season in order to be crowned champions. McLaren's side faced tough opposition against Feyenoord this weekend, but goals either side of the break from Blaise Nkufo and Miroslav Stoch were sufficient to overcome their fifth-placed rivals. It was a vital win for Twente as Martin Jol's Ajax continue their relentless pursuit of top spot. The Amsterdam giants put four past Heracles but remain second due to the result at Enschede. The destination of the Eredivisie title still remains uncertain with a single point separating first from second but should the ‘Tukkers’ win against mid-table Nac Breda next week, the title will be theirs irrespective of Ajax’s result. FC Twente will also claim the title should they match Ajax’s result against NEC Nijmegen. Unfairly nicknamed the "wally with the brolly" in the wake of England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008, McLaren's reputation was severely dented after his spell as England boss despite building an impressive CV at Middlesbrough The highlights of his spell at the Riverside came when he guided the club to a League Cup triumph in 2004 and to the UEFA Cup final two years later. Should McClaren win the Dutch League it would surely eclipse his thrilling European run with Middlesbrough as Twente have only won the League on one occasion, way back in 1926. Their consistency under the Englishman’s stewardship has been astonishing. He guided the club to the runners-up spot last season and is set to go one better in this campaign. During this seasons campaign they have played attractive football while remaining solid in defence, conceding only 23 goals in 33 games. Ajax have scored 102 goals during their title push with an astounding goal difference of +82 but their impressive goal tally will be insignificant should FC Twente maintain composure for one final game and secure the title they crave. - Steve McClaren’s Dutch rehab yielding results - FC Twente want Arsenal’s Wilshere on loan - Steve McClaren leads FC Twente into Europe Major League Baseball — Latest Round-Up Posted: 19 Apr 2010 02:21 AM PDT Ubaldo Jimenez threw the first no-hitter in Colorado Rockies history on Saturday night at Atlanta's Turner field. Jimenez took 128 pitches to accomplish the feat, and was pushed all the way to the last, having to face Chippers Jones and Brian McCann in the bottom of the ninth. The 26-year-old got Brian McCann on a simple groundout to second to end the game. Earlier in the game, he had to rely on a much tougher play from one of his team-mates to keep the feat intact. In shades of the play DeWayne Wise made to preserve Mark Buehrle's perfect game last July, centre-fielder Dexter Fowler made a spectacular diving play to rob Troy Glaus of a hit in the bottom of the seventh. What was perhaps most remarkable about the performance was the demonstration of Jimenez's arm strength and durability. He struggled with his control somewhat early on, walking six batters, as his fastball touched 100mph on occasion. However he settled down, and even into the ninth that heater was still reaching 98mph. The achievement now leaves just three Major League teams without a no-hitter in their record books – the Rays, Padres and the New York Mets. The Mets themselves were also involved in a noteworthy game on Saturday night, beating the Cardinals 2-1 in a game spanning almost seven hours, and 20 innings. Neither team scored a run until the 19th inning, using 19 pitchers between them, including two position players taking to the mound for the Cards. One of them – Joe Mather, who had not pitched competitively since high school – took the loss, as Francisco Rodriguez picked up the win after blowing a save in the bottom of the 19th. After Jeff Francouer put the Mets ahead in the top of the frame, scoring Jose Reyes on a sacrifice fly, Rodriguez came out to pitch the bottom half. He walked Ryan Ludwick, who was subsequently thrown out trying to steal second base. This proved to be a big tactical error, as Albert Pujols ripped a double, which would probably have scored Ludwick anyway. Pujols eventually came around to score on a Molina single to tie the game at 1-1. After scoring in the previous frame, Reyes put the Mets back into the lead with a sac fly of his own to score Angel Pagan. Mike Pelfry, usually found starting games, picked up the first save of his career. Finally, the ever-impressive Tim Lincecum had yet another game to remember of his short career, as the Giants defeated the Dodgers 9-0. Lincecum pitched 6 scoreless innings, but was equally impressive with the bat, notching three hits, and three RBIs. So far this season, Lincecum has hit more RBIs than he has given up earned runs, with a minuscule 0.90 ERA. - Major League Baseball — NL Central Preview - Major League Baseball — AL Central Preview - Major League Baseball — AL East Preview You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
