Hobart Hurricanes opener Ben McDermott become the first player in BBL history to crack successive centuries, firing his side to a comprehensive 85-run win against Melbourne Renegades.McDermott clattered nine sixes and as many fours in a stunning knock of 127 from 65 balls at the Docklands Stadium on Wednesday night.It was the third-highest individual score in the BBL, behind Melbourne Stars’ Marcus Stoinis (147*) and Hurricanes team-mate Matthew Wade (130 not out).It came to an anti-climactic end when he was run-out by Sam Harper on the final ball of Hurricanes’ innings.At the halfway point of their innings, Hurricanes were ticking along slowly at 3 for 66, with McDermott unbeaten on 39 off 31 balls.But the got going during the power surge as he and Peter Handscomb took 44 runs off Zahir Khan in the 13th over and Kane Richardson, who finished with 0 for 63 from four overs on return from illness.Tim David came to the party late with four huge sixes in a nine-ball cameo as Hurricanes belted the most runs ever recorded in the back half of a BBL innings for a total of 5 for 206.In response, Renegades opener Harper whacked the first ball of their chase for six and made a gritty 57 off 35. But the hosts were never seriously in the hunt, bowled out for 121 in 15.5 overs.Tom Rogers and Sandeep Lamichhane took six wickets between them for Hurricanes.McDermott is the first player to hit three BBL centuries, with two of those against the team that delisted him at the end of 2016.Promoted to the top of the order on Christmas Eve, McDermott now has 304 runs in three innings as an opener at a strike rate of 180.95.He clubbed 67 off 43 against Stars and followed it up with an unbeaten 110 off 60 against Adelaide Strikers on Monday.The three monster efforts have led to a hat-trick of wins and put Hurricanes (with four wins and three losses) firmly back in the title hunt after a scratchy start to the season.Renegades (one win and five losses) are staring down the barrel of a third-straight wooden spoon after five consecutive losses.

Malan has previously been batting coach and assistant coach of the New Zealand men’s team

Sreshth Shah04-Jan-2022South Africa-born Heinrich Malan, the 40-year-old former allrounder who has had extensive coaching stints in New Zealand, will succeed Graham Ford as full-time head coach for the Ireland men’s team.Malan is expected to take up the role in March (subject to work permit approval) for three years. He holds a Level 3 Coaching Certificate from Cricket South Africa and his recent coaching stints across 11 years include being the assistant coach and fielding lead for the New Zealand men’s team. He was also the head coach of New Zealand A, and has also held the batting coach role with the senior men’s team.While Malan officially succeeds Ford to the full-time role, he will actually take over from interim head coach David Ripley. Ripley, the former Northamptonshire boss, has accompanied Ireland to their tours of the USA and West Indies after Ford resigned due to fatigue arising from operating in a Covid-19 world.Malan, a former middle-order batter and medium-fast bowler, played first-class cricket in South Africa from 2005 to 2009, and has earned considerable success as a coach outside the New Zealand national team too. Under his coaching, Central Districts Stags won the one-day competition (Ford Trophy) in 2014-15 and 2015-16, the first-class competition (Plunket Shield) in 2017-18 and 2018-19 and the domestic T20 competition (Super Smash) in 2018-19. After switching to Auckland Aces, he won the 2019-20 Ford Trophy as coach.In a press release issued by Cricket Ireland, Malan also credited Ford for creating the “building blocks in place” that will help the men’s team progress further under his coaching.”My coaching philosophy has certainly evolved over time and I am very keen to get to know this group of players and staff to collaboratively shape our environment through the way we want to operate on a daily basis,” Malan said. “The ‘wheel’ in Irish cricket is turning nicely for the stage it is at, but this point in time is a great opportunity to review what – and how – we are operating to not only grow the wheel, but make that wheel turn quicker.”While I came up through the South African system, the opportunity to move to New Zealand in 2013 really enhanced my coaching experiences and created opportunities to progress my coaching career. Hopefully, I can share these experiences and help our players improve and compete consistently across formats. And that is the key – to create greater consistency of performance over the long term.”Richard Holdsworth, the high performance director at Cricket Ireland, said that Malan’s reputation as an innovative coach with an interest in sports science played a role in his appointment. The short-term goal for Ireland, according to Holdsworth, is making greater strides in white-ball cricket.”Despite coming from outside the Irish system, Heinrich clearly articulated an understanding of the Irish cricket identity, and is determined to succeed in bonding the senior squad around these ideals, then flow those ideals down the pathway system,” Holdsworth said. “He fully understands the development stage we are at as a new Full Member, and is clear on the goals of the organisation – but is committed to working hard on building a skilled and confident squad that is competitive with the world’s leading sides.”After the ODI series against USA was called off due to a Covid-19 outbreak in both camps, Ireland are now set to play West Indies in Jamaica for three ODIs – part of the ODI Super League – and one T20I. Malan will join the Ireland set-up in March, just before the team tours Zimbabwe for a series that was postponed from last year.

Tawanda Muyeye unbeaten overnight as Kent eye mammoth fourth-innings run chase

ECB Reporters Network23-Sep-2021The LV= Insurance County Championship Division Three title race is set for a nerve-shredding finale, after Kent reached 275 for 5 in their run chase against Middlesex. The hosts, currently second in the table, need another 98 to overhaul leaders Middlesex, following a pulsating third day at Canterbury.Ollie Robinson hit 112, but he was out to the final ball of the day, caught by John Simpson off Tim Murtagh, who took 2 for 23.Tawanda Muyeye is unbeaten on highest first-class score of 76 not out, after a stand of 128 with Robinson, as Kent recovered from 103 for 4 to give themselves a fighting chance going into day four.Earlier Matt Milnes took 5 for 87 as Middlesex were dismissed for 363, setting Kent a target of 373 to win.The visitors resumed on 298 for 6 and Luke Hollman was out for 29 in the second over of the morning when he chipped Marcus O’Riordan to Nathan Gilchrist at mid-on. Toby Roland-Jones was caught by Jack Leaning at third slip for six, after edging Milnes’ second delivery with the new ball.Related

Milnes then flattened two of Simpson’s stumps to bowl him for 46, cueing an aggressive cameo from Ethan Bamber, who hit 25 from 23 balls before Milnes bowled him middle-stump, leaving Murtagh unbeaten on five.Kent’s chase suffered an early blow when Murtagh had Jordan Cox caught for one at third slip by Robbie White and Daniel Bell-Drummond fell early in the afternoon session, edging Bamber to Stevie Eskinazi at first slip.Martin Andersson had Jack Leaning lbw for seven and Kent’s chances of chasing down the total took a major hit when Zak Crawley was leg before to Roland-Jones for 47.However, Muyeye brought up his maiden first-class 50 when he drove Roland-Jones through cover for four and Robinson was on 75 when he survived a loud appeal when Middlesex were convinced he’d chipped Hollman to Sam Robson at point. Robinson stood his ground and after conferring, the umpires ruled he was not out.Robinson subsequently pushed through Bamber point and scrambled a single to bring up his century, but Middlesex’s decision to take the new ball for the final over of the day was vindicated when Murtagh found his edge and he was caught in the slips.

Everton’s transfer dealings over the years have been questionable to say the least, with their reckless approach undoubtedly contributing to their eight-point deduction last season.

The Toffees were hit with various deductions after breaching the Premier League’s PSR rules, after exceeding the permitted £105m losses over a three-year period.

The combined £47m spent on midfielders Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin proved to be awful dealings, with the pair struggling with injuries during their respective periods at Goodison Park, before both departing the club on free transfers.

Yerry Mina is another example, costing the Toffees £27m back in the summer of 2018, making just under 100 appearances for the club, but also providing no resale value on his big-money transfer.

However, another player in recent times has proven to be a dreadful addition, with his antics off the field tarnishing any relationship he could’ve had with the Everton faithful.

Neal Maupay’s time at Everton

During the summer of 2022, Everton made a surprise move to sign striker Neal Maupay from Brighton, forking out £15m for his services.

At the time, it seemed like a fair price for a player of Maupay’s Premier League experience, but his move to Merseyside proved to be a disaster for both parties.

The Frenchman only registered one goal in his 32 appearances during the 2022/23 campaign – a disappointing return given the fee paid for his signature.

He subsequently spent last season on loan at former side Brentford, scoring six times in the league for Thomas Frank’s side, returning to Goodison for pre-season this summer.

However, he was subject to abuse by supporters after the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season, with the striker speaking out about the incident on social media.

The confrontation would spell the end of his time at the club, moving to Ligue 1 side Marseille during the recent transfer window on loan with an obligation to buy next summer.

On the whole, the move was another example of the club’s poor dealings in the market, but, it gets even worse when the club made the move for the striker over a player who’s taken the Premier League by storm.

The man who Everton missed out on to sign Maupay

Winger Mohammed Kudus joined West Ham United back in the summer of 2023 for a fee in the region of £38m from Eredivisie side Ajax.

Since his move to the Premier League, the Ghanaian has thrived, registering 21 goal contributions in all competitions, helping the Hammers cement a top-half finish last season.

As a result of his excellent form at the London Stadium, the 24-year-old has seen his valuation skyrocket, with Kudus described as a “£100m player” by former coach Jeremy Seethal, having also been the subject of interest from Liverpool over the summer.

His move to join the Hammers will be a huge kick in the teeth for Everton, especially considering the Toffees were actually close to signing the attacker during the same summer they pursued a move for Maupay, only for the deal to collapse at the eleventh hour.

Speaking with a Dutch outlet whilst still at Ajax, Kudus confirmed that he wanted a move to Merseyside to gain valuable game time in his career, but that a move never materialised in the end, with former boss Frank Lampard missing out on the addition of a now proven player in England’s top flight.

The club will undoubtedly be kicking themselves that they couldn’t secure a deal for the winger’s services – especially considering his rapid development at West Ham – with Football Insider reporting earlier this year that a deal would have been done had the Toffees’ finances been ‘healthy’.

As for Maupay, the move was a disaster with his transfer fee just one reason as to why the club were docked last season, making the right call in allowing him to depart Goodison this season.

Their goalscoring woes of recent times would’ve been non-existent had they won the race for Kudus’ signature, however, he will always remain one that got away for the Toffees.

Everton struck gold on Lampard's free transfer who's now worth £17m

The former manager didn’t inspire the club on the pitch, yet he made some decent signings…

Andrew Fidel Fernando28-Aug-2021Day four at Headingley, with Virat Kohli’s India resuming against Joe Root’s England. The visitors still trail by 139 runs. Can they produce another memorable comeback or will the hosts capitalise on their first-innings advantage? Get your updates on ESPNcricinfo’s blog. All timestamps are local time. Ball-by-ball is commentary available here. And here’s our live coverage in Hindi. (Please refresh your page for the latest)It’s all over. IT’S ALL OVER!Overton takes the last two wickets. It’s an utterly emphatic 76-run win for England.What a breathless morning. This was almost more impressive than the first day, when England had substantial help from the conditions. Here, they had blue skies over head, and two batters who were batting comfortably the day before. They had to work a little to open the tap early in the morning, but once they did, the dismissals came like a flash flood. India lost their last eight wickets for 63 runs; their last seven for 41. It was a continuous, rapid unraveling, and they will now have to pick themselves back up.Robinson got the most wickets by a distance, but England hunted as a pack. Anderson was excellent, and was unlucky to get more than his one breakthrough this morning. Overton, who had been good yesterday, came in to wipe out the innings. Moeen Ali produced a wicket with a terrific delivery in the middle somewhere. Sam Curran wasn’t even needed this morning.Head over to our ball-by-ball coverage for presentation details. I’ll be back with the full report a little later.
