导出博客文章Australia have begun preparing for life after the sage influence of Rod Marsh
and Greg Chappell by recruiting former Test wicketkeeper Graham Manou as the
national Under-15-19 High Performance pathway manager.Manou, who has been
working with the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) since 2013, will leave
his role as cricket operations and membership manager late next month to oversee
youth development and talent identification at Cricket Australia (CA).Having
also served as captain of South Australia during his playing days, Manou was a
key man for the players union. He made pre-tour security visits overseas while
also sparring with the CA team performance manager Pat Howard over numerous
issues such as the recent agreement over womens pay and conditions.Whatever
their differences of opinion, Howard and Manou worked closely together. The
arrival of Kevin Roberts as executive general manager of strategy and people -
after he resigned from the CA Board last year - saw the ex-gloveman come into
calculations for the talent management and selection areas.While it was a very
difficult decision for me to leave the ACA, Im very excited about the
opportunity to influence the next generation of cricketers and assist in further
enhancing a clear and inspiring pathway, Manou said. I have thoroughly enjoyed
my time at the ACA and wish the Executive and the team at the ACA all the best
for the future.The 2011 Argus review called for succession planning in areas
beyond the national team itself, and Manous appointment is a clear sign that
Roberts and Howard are aware that national talent manager Chappell, 67, and
national selector Marsh, 68, cannot carry on in their roles indefinitely. While
there is no pressure on either man - both highly respected figures in the global
game - to retire, Manous arrival will afford the chance to broaden the base of
candidates for more senior roles. He will also add useful cricket experience to
CA, as the organisation seeks a balance between commercial clout and knowledge
of the game.Apart from the national coach Darren Lehmann, Trevor Hohns
previously served as selection chairman from 1996 to 2006 and could do so again,
while Mark Waugh has been on the panel since May 2014. It is believed that CA
wish to take a more analytical approach to selection of the Twenty20 team in
particular, after disappointing showings at the two most recent ICC events.
Australia are ranked No. 1 in Tests and ODIs.This is a terrific opportunity for
Graham and his family, so whilst we are sad to see him go, we can certainly
appreciate that these roles dont come along every day, the ACA Chief Executive
Alistair Nicholson said. Graham is regarded very highly at the ACA and has built
fantastic relationships with the Executive, staff and of course the players in
his three and a half years with us. His integrity and commitment to the players
is of the highest order and we wish him well in this next challenge.There has
been considerable crossover between the ACA and CA in recent years, notably the
choice of the former president Lehmann as national team coach and his successor
Michael Kasprowicz joining the CA Board before being named interim chief
executive of Queensland Cricket.Manous departure will leave a gulf of cricket
experience at the ACA, though Simon Katich has agreed to work in a part-time
role on player liaison matters. Jodie Fields and Brendan Drew will maintain
their roles in working with the ACA membership.

With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided
the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania
80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker
and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years
ago and took bronze in 2005.

Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks,
scoring four goals in his first four games. HELSINKI, Finland -- Slovakia
defeated the United States 4-1 and the Czech Republic routed Norway 7-0 in group
finales for both teams to reach the quarterfinals at the ice hockey world
championship on Tuesday. The U.S. had a chance to clinch the group, but will
finish second or third, meeting Russia or Finland in a quarterfinal on Thursday.
In Stockholm, the other group leader, Switzerland, defeated Belarus 4-1 to
achieve its best group record at the worlds, seven wins and no losses. The Swiss
hope to win a medal for the first time since 1953, when they were third among
three teams. Julian Walker scored twice, and Roman Josi and Mathias Bieber once
each. Switzerland won its group, followed by Canada, Sweden and the Czechs.
Slovakias Branko Radivojevic was handed a free score after only 15 seconds when
U.S. goaltender Ben Bishop turned the puck over, trying to reach a teammate with
a pass. Martin Bartek, 3:44 in, and Rene Vydareny made it 3-0 for last years
runner-up with Rastislav Stana making only 20 saves. Danny Kristo replied for
the U.S. in the second period, and Marko Dano added a late empty-net goal. "We
were hopeful and excited about the opportunity to try to finish first. We weree
not able to do that but we will be ready for the next opponent,"
U.ddddddddddddS. coach Joe Sacco said. "The first two goals were unfortunate,
its tough to play catch-up. Slovakia made a good job of bottling up the middle
of the ice and they protected the front of the net very well. We had a hard time
getting there, and when we did their goalie came up big." The first goal was
strange. Bishop went behind the net to pick up the puck and play it to a
teammate. He hit the stick of Slovakia forward Tomas Kopecky and the puck went
to Branko Radivojevic, who was left with an open net. "The first one bounced
right out in the slot from behind the net. The second one I got to but it just
squeaked through," Bishop said. "Just unlucky goals. Otherwise I think we played
a good game, but the other goalie played well. We could have scored five easily.
Its a shame we didnt win." For the Czechs, Tomas Fleischmann showed the way with
goals in the second and eight minutes. In a game without great significance,
Christian Ehrhoffs second goal was an overtime winner as Germany beat France
3-2. Both teams quarterfinal hopes were dashed by Slovakias earlier victory. ' '
