Everton loanee became "one of the best" & worth £34m after leaving Goodison

da dobrowin: Everton have long been praised for their production line, but not all who cut their teeth on the blue ground of Merseyside actually made it onto the Goodison Park pitch.

da bet nacional: Leaving before their time, such stars that you will see below went on to forge impressive careers but ultimately recognised their talents away from Everton territory.

The best Everton talents who never played in the PL

Starting off this obscure blast from the past, we have Shkodran Mustafi, who played for Everton during his formative years and featured off the bench against BATE Borisov in 2009/20 – his first season as a professional. And that was all she wrote.

Mustafi cuts an infamous figure on the Premier League scene after several up-and-down years with Arsenal, who he played for 151 times but left having been branded a “horrendous” signing by journalist Charles Watts, even though he won two FA Cups.

Perhaps he wouldn’t have been all that for the Blues, though Arsenal signed the German from Valencia in a deal worth £35m. Thus, there was money to be made.

More presently, Everton must rue the sale of Antonee Robinson, who is thriving for Fulham, hailed as “one of the best left-backs in the world” by Sky Sports’ Dougie Critchley. Given that Robinson left for just £2m in 2019, this must rankle some.

Another oft-forgotten one-timer is Eric Dier, who might have made the club a pretty penny had he stayed on the books way back when.

Everton let Eric Dier get away

Dier has enjoyed a comparatively successful career, having been a mainstay at Tottenham Hotspur for the most part of a decade before heading to Bayern Munich last year, where he resides still.

Eric-Dier-Spurs-Bayern

Last term, the 30-year-old England international was hailed by journalist Henry Winter for “intervening calmly, defending resolutely and ensuring a clean sheet” after defeating Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Dier has been around the block and back again, but Everton sure must rue the fact that he never once plied his craft for the Toffees’ first team, despite cutting his teeth at the club, during an 18-month spell on loan at Finch Farm.

In 2011, Dier, who was a teenager fluent in Portuguese, returned to his homeland from Sporting Lisbon on a temporary basis for an initial six-month period, before extending that stint for a further year.

He notably captained the club’s U18s amid that promising spell, but returned to Portugal at the end of the 2012/13 campaign, albeit with Alan Stubbs subsequently revealing that David Moyes and co had targeted a permanent deal, only to be put off by his £1m price tag…

The Merseysiders must really regret not managing to ensnare him for good, for his value, as per Transfermarkt, rose to a peak of £34m after leaving. There was money to be made with this one.

Where Are They Now

Your star player or biggest flop has left the club but what are they doing in the present day? This article is part of Football FanCast's Where Are They Now series.

Moreover, former Tottenham boss Antonio Conte even tipped Dier to become “one of the best” central defenders in the world, a further illustration of the quality that was carried within.

It’s a frustrating one, to be sure.

Birmingham loan star has seen his value rise by 475% after leaving

da blaze casino: Birmingham City showed off their class in the FA Cup over the weekend with a professional 1-0 away win at non-league Sutton United, to secure their progression to the second round of the competition.

da poker: It’s going swimmingly for the Blues in the third tier too, with just one loss in League One from 12 now as Northampton Town travel to St. Andrew’s up next to get football going again in the entertaining league.

Birmingham boss Chris Davies will know his side has some unbelievable attacking players, seen in Jay Stansfield and Alfie May to name a few, but will also be thankful for the stern defenders he has at his disposal that are equally helping these league wins look like a breeze.

Birmingham's staunch defence this season

In League One, only Exeter City and Wrexham have conceded less than the table-topping side, with the Blues leaking just 11 goals from 12 clashes to date.

Only two goals were actually conceded across the entirety of October in league action from Birmingham’s perspective, with the likes of Christoph Klarer imposing at the back for this promotion-chasing side, using his intimidating 6 foot 3 frame to bully attackers.

One of many statement signings this summer, arriving from Fortuna Dusseldorf for a new challenge in England, the towering Austrian has certainly helped Birmingham shore up defensively, with a staggering seven duels won on average per league game this season.

With the likes of Ben Davies, Krystian Bielik, Ethan Laird and more occupying the other defensive spots at St. Andrew’s, the Blues know that they shouldn’t be leaking goals for fun, giving a platform to the attacking players to go more gung-ho.

Not every defender to have joined in recent years has gone on to be an immediate success, however, with one loan signing disappointing the Birmingham masses before then fully realising his potential down the line away from the Midlands.

Football FanCast's Market Movers series explores the changing landscape of the modern transfer market. How much is your club's star player or biggest flop worth today?

Teden Mengi's time at Birmingham

Teden Mengi joined the Birmingham camp back in 2022 mid-way through the Championship season in a loan switch that wouldn’t go to plan for the highly rated Manchester United youngster.

Mengi would only manage to make ten appearances for the Blues across an injury-disrupted loan stint, with one meagre clean sheet coming his way in league action from nine games, leading to the 6-foot defender returning to Old Trafford frustrated by his stop-start time in the West Midlands.

Now, however, the ex-Red Devils centre-back is starring in the Championship for Luton Town, who he also managed to score two goals for last season as the Hatters succumbed to their relegation fate back down to the second tier. A “dominant” defender – as he was labelled by scout Jacek Kulig – away from that relegation he’s enjoyed a great time of it after leaving Birmingham.

In Championship action this term, he has already surpassed the number of appearances he made for Birmingham in the league at ten, with his value now way above what it used to be when he was trying to cut his teeth at the Blues.

Whilst on the books of Birmingham on a temporary loan basis, Mengi was worth just £1.6m according to Transfermarkt.

Now, with 45 games under his belt for the Hatters as a valued part of Rob Edwards’ first team, his value has shot up all the way to £9.2m. That means his value has risen 475% as Luton attempt to get more out of their main man at the back over the season to come.

Of course, injuries ultimately got the better of Mengi during his time with the Blues, but there must be some regret that he never blossomed into a top star at St. Andrew’s, considering his quick rise at Kenilworth Road.

Birmingham let “special” star leave for £0, now he’s outperforming Iwata

Birmingham City might now regret not giving this star more time to shine.

OPERÁRIO MOSTRA FORÇA NO INÍCIO

Fazendo valer o mando de campo, o Operário tratou de ir para cima do Ituano. Com isso, logo em sua primeira tentativa, Reniê ajeitou para Marcelo que acabou carimbando o travessão, assustando o goleiro Pegorari.

Por outro lado, tentando dar a resposta, o Galo lançou-se ao ataque também conseguindo finalizar, mas a bola de de Pacheco acabou subindo demais. Na sequência, o Fantasma voltou a pressionar conseguindo até marcar, mas o tento de Paulo Sérgio acabou sendo anulado já que o atacante foi flagrado em posição irregular, após aproveitar rebote do camisa 1 no arremate de Marcelo.

GALO SURPREENDE E ABRE A CONTAGEM

Mesmo sendo pressionado, a equipe paulista tentou se manter tranquila em campo. E se deu bem. Em nova chegada pelo lado esquerdo, João Vitor cruzou rasteiro para Kaio mandar uma bomba indefensávelpara Vanderlei, aos 17 minutos.

O gol equilibrou o duelo até o fim. Com o famoso lá e cá, tanto o Ituano, com João Victor, quanto o Operário, com Marcelo, desperdiçaram grandes chances dando muito trabalho aos goleiros até o fim da etapa.

VISITANTES AMPLIAM

Com ambos os treinadores não optando por trocas na volta para o segundo tempo, quem reiniciou o confronto melhor foi o Galo. Sendo assim, aos 3 minutos, aproveitando desvio após levantamento de Kaio para a área, mandou para o fundo da rede aumentando a vantagem.

O gol visitante chegou a desanimar um pouco torcida do Fantasma no Germano Krüger, fazendo com que o Ituano aproveitasse o momento para tentar sacramentar de vez o jogo. No entanto, nem mesmo com as primeiras mudanças de ambos os lados até meados dos 25 minutos, poucas foram as chances criadas mantendo o resultado parcial de 2 a 0.

OPERÁRIO-PR REAGE E CONQUISTA VIRADA HISTÓRICA

Voltando a crescer no duelo, o time da casa não quis saber de ficar no prejuízo. Em nova chegada, a arbitragem acabou marcando um pênalti sobre Felipe Saraiva. Na cobrança, Paulo Sérgio converteu com precisão dando um ânimo extra aos mandantes.

E deu resultado. Praticamente na sequência, aos 38 minutos, Júnior Brandão, que havia entrado na etapa final, após receber cruzamento, tirou a marcação e mandou para o fundo da rede para igualar tudo no Germano Krüger. Não dando nem tempo para comemorar o gol de igualdade, aos 41 minutos, Giovanni Pavani, em um forte chute, contou com desvio da barreira do Ituano para fazer 3 a 2.

Já nos momentos finais, praticamente nos acréscimos, o nervosismo tomou conta pelo lado do Galo, com Calyson levando o cartão vermelho. Com um a mais em campo, o Operário apenas administrou o placar até o apito final do árbitro com direito a muita festa nas arquibancadas por parte da torcida local.

Celtic now ready to agree huge salary increase to convince defender to stay

da spicy bet: Celtic are now ready to offer a major wage increase to one of their key men in a bid to convince them to sign a new contract in Scotland, it has been claimed.

Celtic unlikely candidates for Champions League qualification

da dobrowin: Following a 7-1 thrashing by Borussia Dortmund in their second Champions League outing of the season, Celtic looked rank outsiders to qualify for the knockout stages of the new-look Champions League.

However, the Scottish Premiership champions have turned it around since, drawing with Europa League champions Atalanta before pulling off a famous 3-1 win over German side RB Leipzig in their most recent outing.

Goals from Nicolas Kuhn and Reo Hatate helped the Bhoys come from a goal down in front of a raucous Celtic Park to claim all three points, and move to seven from four games.

Currently in one of the knockout qualification spots, Brendan Rodgers’ side face games against Club Brugge, Dinamo Zagreb, Young Boys and Aston Villa in their final four games, likely needing three wins from those to cement an automatic qualification spot and two for a spot in the knockout qualification round.

It continues what has been a strong start to the season domestically, with Celtic yet to lose this season and sitting joint top of the Scottish Premiership with Aberdeen, who they drew 2-2 with last month before thrashing them 6-0 in the Scottish League Cup. Now, there is more good news for the Bhoys.

Celtic make contract breakthrough

That comes as reports claim that Celtic have made a breakthrough in talks over a new contract for defender Alistair Johnston, which will see him pick up a hefty pay rise.

The defender, who Pat Nevin described as “spectacular” in their win over RB Leipzig, has become one of the first names on Rodgers’ teamsheet following his move in January 2023, and though he is under contract until 2027 as things stand, his form is set to be rewarded with a new deal in a bid to ward off potential interest from abroad.

As per the Daily Record, Celtic and the defender are “close to agreeing a new contract”, which “will hand the 26-year-old a significant increase in salary” as well as increasing the length of his stay. It is added that talks have advanced “significantly”, with Johnston’s agent having flown to Scotland to finalise the deal.

ByDan Emery Nov 7, 2024

However, there is less good news for the contract of fellow defender Greg Taylor, who is set to become a free agent as things stand at the end of the campaign. Speaking earlier in the season, Rodgers revealed tying him down to a new contract was a “priority”, however the report adds that “there has been nothing agreed with the Scotland international”, which will likely be Celtic’s next focus.

Bastidores para contratar Fausto Vera tiveram pechincha do Corinthians e papo olho no olho

MatériaMais Notícias

da bet7: A venda do volante Fausto Vera ao Corinthians foi oficializada na última segunda-feira (25) pelo Argentinos Juniors, clube que o atleta defendia.

continua após a publicidade

da heads bet: +Vera é o próximo! Relembre argentinos que já passaram pelo Timão

O Timão ainda não realizou o anúncio oficial. O valor, tempo de contrato e moldes da transação ainda não foram informados, até aqui.

Segundo apurado pelo LANCE!, a operação custou ao Time do Povo 6,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 34,9 mi, na cotação atual), podendo chegar a 8 milhões de dólares (R$ 43 mi) com bônus e premiações. O vínculo terá duração até o fim de 2026.

A equipe argentina receberá 4,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 24,1 mi, cotação atual) de forma parcelada. Os juros e encargos, além de comissão aos intermediários do negócio, custarão 2 milhões de dólares (R$ 10,7 mi).

No comunicado de venda, o Argentinos Juniors confirmou que repassará 70% dos direitos jogadores ao Corinthians, mantendo 30%.

+Veja datas e horários dos jogos da Copa do Brasil

NEGOCIAÇÃO PELO VALOR

Mas para chegar a esses números, a diretoria corintiana precisou de paciência na negociação, que durou cerca de duas semanas.

Inicialmente, o Corinthians ofereceu 7 milhões de dólares (R$ 37 mi, na cotação atual) na operação total, que já seria parcelada. O Argentinos Juniors receberia R$ 4 milhões de dólares (R$ 21,4 mi).

O clube portenho, no entanto, não gostou do preço. A ideia era ter em mãos 6,5 milhões de dólares (R$ 34,8 mi). E foi nesse ponto que as tratativas se intensificaram, como uma espécie de pechincha do Timão.

A possibilidade de bonificação por meta de jogos e títulos conquistados surgiu no decorrer das tratativas e agradou a diretoria do Argentinos Juniors.

A aposta nesse modelo de negócio foi para compensar a ausência financeira que o Corinthians tinha para pagar um valor tão alto no estágio inicial da negociação.

Além do parcelamento da quantia total, a ideia de bonificar também é de compensar o pagamento ao Argentinos Juniors durante a passagem de Vera pelo time do Parque São Jorge. Isso porque, no compasso que o Timão vai vencendo e se classificando em competições ele recebe premiações.

Para finalizar a negociação houve até mesmo uma conversa olho a olho entre os membros da direção corintiana e Cristian Malaspina, presidente do Argentinos Juniors, que veio ao Brasil no último fim de semana para selar o negócio.

Nesse momento, a situação já estava bem encaminhada, tanto que o advogado da equipe argentina também viajou.

CONCORRÊNCIA EUROPEIA E APOIO DE EMPRESÁRIOS

Em meio a negociação do Corinthians com o Argentinos Juniors, o Genk, da Bélgica, também procurou a equipe portenha por Fausto Vera.

Financeiramente, a proposta dos belgas não foi muito diferente ao que o Timão ofereceu inicialmente pelo volante. No entanto, a parte corintiana tinha como trunfo as tratativas com os representantes do jogador.

A ideia do estafe de Vera foi o potencial de vitrine do Corinthians para o mercado central da Europa, principalmente com o clube alvinegro estando nas quartas de final da Copa Libertadores da América.

Já no Genk, ainda que o meio-campista cumprisse o objetivo de chegar ao Velho Continente, ele atuaria em um mercado fora do grande centro e sem muita visibilidade.

MONITORAMENTO

Vera foi bem qualificado pela comissão técnica, que, desde a lesão de Paulinho, visava um atleta para a função. O camisa 15 rompeu o ligamento cruzado anterior do joelho esquerdo e não atuará mais nesta temporada.

Para chegar à contratação, o Corinthians contou com a ajuda dos representantes de Vera na América do Sul. Pessoas ligadas a Kristian Bereit, que é agente do meia, estiveram no Brasil e entraram em contato com o Timão.

O jogador, que inicialmente foi oferecido pelo Time do Povo, passou por um processo de monitoramento e agradou o clube.

A situação foi parecida com a do chileno Erick Pulgar, que teve o seu nome levado ao Corinthians por pessoas de fora, foi avaliado positivamente, mas não teve a negociação concluída por conta de uma acusação de violência sexual contra uma mulher, no Chile.

Outras equipes brasileiras chegaram a monitorar Fausto Vera, mas o Corinthians foi o único que avançou às negociações e, por fim, fechou com o jogador.

'We enjoy confrontation as a group' – Elgar's South Africa brace for 'feisty' tour of Australia

The ‘bold and brash’ players in the opposition camp will ‘bring out the best’ in his side, South Africa captain says

“Bring it,” is South Africa’s message to Australia as they head Down Under in search of a fourth, successive away series win against the opponents.It’s been more than four years since they last played each other, in the series that became known for the sandpaper-gate scandal but also ranks as one of South Africa’s biggest successes in the last decade. It was the first time they claimed a series win against Australia at home since readmission. The residue from that series litters the entrance hall to this one and there’s every expectation that the action will take place as much off the field as on it.Related

South Africa quicks' lack of game-time remains a concern

“Because we are playing in their home conditions, it’s going to be pretty feisty,” Dean Elgar, South Africa’s Test captain, said ahead of their departure on Thursday. “The individuals they have within their squad are pretty brash and bold – in your face kind of characters and that can work in our favour. I think that plays into our hands. We enjoy that confrontation as a group and we manage it pretty well. We’ve got calm heads around that. If they want to be in your face, it’s fine. I definitely don’t shy away from that and I will be encouraging the players not to shy away from that, because I think that’s when South Africans bring out their best.”Elgar’s team, however, is not in the same state as Faf du Plessis’ was in 2018. Although they presently sit second on the World Test Championship (WTC) table, they are closer to the 2019 outfit that toured India with an interim team director at the helm, who was being sent on his first international assignment to one of the most difficult places to play Tests, and an impending administrative crisis looming. This 2022 side also has a temporary coach, who will make his debut. He too is taking South Africa to a tough place and there’s no indication of when permanent appointments will be made. But there is one difference. Elgar revealed that he requested Malibongwe Maketa to take over from Mark Boucher and that he and Enoch Nkwe (the team director from 2019 who is now director of cricket) are on the same page.”Mali is one of the coaches I asked our director (Nkwe) to try and get in to be interim. I’m glad I got that one right,” Elgar said. “It’s nice to have a DOC that has got cricket at heart and is backing his leadership that needs to be backed. Mali understands his role, which is going to be a supportive role, and he understands me as a cricketer, as a person and as a leader. Mali comes with quite a lot of experience. He has been around the block as long as I can remember.”Maketa worked as head coach for the Warriors franchise in South Africa’s domestic circuit from 2015 to 2017, as Ottis Gibson’s assistant for the national side between 2017 and 2019, and most recently as the South African A coach. He was also on the tour in England earlier this year and has worked with most of the squad members in some capacity over the last decade. He is one of the few consistent presences on the South African scene, which Elgar thinks they need more than anything as the Test team evolves.”The environment has changed drastically (since 2019) but in a good way. We’ve tried to keep our core players so the consistency has always been pretty stable. We have evolved immensely and really played good cricket in the Test arena but we are still trying to push for the consistency factor which is going to be key going into a big series,” he said.Arguably, this is the biggest test for South Africa for at least the next three years. It’s their last three-Test series until they host Australia in 2026, a must-win if they are to reach the WTC final and their first in Australia over the festive period since 2008. That means no-one in the current squad has played a Test at the MCG or the SCG or soaked in the atmosphere of such an occasion.”Growing up as a kid, you’d always wake up for these Boxing Day Test matches Down Under and you don’t mind losing a few hours’ sleep,” Elgar said. “Now we’ve got 16 players who are going to experience it first-hand. It’s a childhood dream of mine to experience this. Playing a Boxing Day and a New Year’s Test in Australia – I don’t think you get bigger than that.”

"مليئة بالأحقاد".. ميدو يدعو جماهير الزمالك لإجراء عاجل بسبب راعي الأهلي

أعلن أحمد حسام ميدو، نجم الزمالك السابق والإعلامي الرياضي، عن قراره بمقاطعة إحدى شركات الاتصالات الكبرى، مطالبًا جماهير الزمالك باتخاذ الخطوة نفسها، احتجاجًا على الإعلان الأخير الذي طرحته الشركة الراعية للنادي الأهلي، والذي أثار حالة من الغضب والاستياء بين جماهير القلعة البيضاء.

وكتب ميدو عبر حسابه الرسمي على منصة “إكس”: “قررت مقاطعة شركة اتصالات، وأرجو من جمهور الزمالك العظيم مقاطعة هذه الشركة المليئة بالأحقاد تجاه نادي الزمالك العظيم. بطلب من كل الزمالكاوية تغيير نمرتهم، وأنا أول واحد هغير نمرتي. أنا رقمي اتصالات ومن بكره هغير نمرتي”.

وجاءت تصريحات ميدو بعد ساعات من بث الشركة إعلانًا دعائيًا خاصًا بالنادي الأهلي، تضمن بعض المشاهد والعبارات التي اعتبرها جمهور الزمالك مسيئة أو تحمل رسائل ضمنية تقلل من قيمة ناديهم، مما أشعل حالة من الجدل على مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي.

وتفاعل عدد كبير من مشجعي الزمالك مع دعوة ميدو، ما بين مؤيد لخطوته باعتبارها تعبيرًا عن الغضب الجماهيري، وآخرين طالبوا بالتصدي لما وصفوه بـ”الاستفزاز الإعلامي المتكرر”.

يُذكر أن الشركة ذاتها ترعى النادي الأهلي منذ فترة، وقد أطلقت الحملة الإعلانية الجديدة بالتزامن مع نهاية الموسم الكروي، ما زاد من حساسية التوقيت وردود الأفعال، خاصة في ظل المنافسة التقليدية والحساسة بين القطبين الأهلي والزمالك.

Lamichhane taken into custody upon landing at Kathmandu airport

Says he will “fully cooperate in all stages of the investigation and will fight a legal battle to prove my innocence”

Sandeep Lamichhane has been taken into custody by police in Kathmandu in response to the arrest warrant that had been issued in his name over an alleged case of coercion.Shortly before being arrested, Lamichhane wrote on Facebook that he would “fully cooperate in all stages of the investigation and will fight a legal battle to prove my innocence”.”I know I am facing a difficult time of conspiracy and wrongful allegation and the ramification of its effect is something unimaginable. I am sure there must be some mechanism of compensating to the accused who proven to be innocent in our legal system,” he wrote. “I will soon seek legal support against wrongful prosecution and allegation made against me and I am sure I will get the justice and will return to the cricket ground soon to make the name and fame of my beloved country and I pray for speedy trial.”When news of Lamichhane’s arrest warrant was made public, on September 8, he was in the West Indies, taking part in the Caribbean Premier League. Back then, he had said he would leave the CPL and return to home to face the “baseless allegations”.Lamichhane, 22, is by far Nepal’s most high-profile cricketer, and the only one to have played in T20 leagues in most parts of the world, including in the IPL, the BBL, the PSL, the BPL, and the CPL.He is also the world’s second-fastest bowler to 50 ODI wickets and third-fastest to 50 T20I wickets, and last played international cricket in August 2022, in the T20I series against Kenya. After that, he was set to represent Jamaica Tallawahs in the CPL but was unable to get involved in the action.Lamichhane was Nepal’s captain at the time of the arrest warrant, a position he has since lost, having been suspended by the board following the surfacing of the allegations. At the time, Cricket Association of Nepal’s acting secretary Prashant Vikram Malla had said that his suspension would remain in place pending a complete investigation.

Trent Rockets 121 for 8 (Malan 19, Little 2-18) beat Manchester Originals 120 for 9 (Turner 26, Cook 4-18) by two wicketsOne of the many criticisms of the 2022 edition of the men’s Hundred was the lack of close finishes. The kind which build legends and tear down legacies, or even simply give mortals a taste of nectar or soul-crushing agony. Now, in the 32nd and final game, we had it.Trent Rockets won the Hundred, and to work out how would require starting right at the end. A chase of 121 which always felt on the verge of going off the rails had somehow stayed upright until the final five deliveries, with a seemingly unlikely 11 required for victory. Lewis Gregory, captain of the Rockets, Somerset till he dies, England once in a while, found them within three.A miraculous flat six over square leg from a near-perfect leg-stump yorker was the surprise knife into the side of Manchester Originals. The four flicked around the corner from a next-ball full toss, then the single to take Rockets over the line, simply twisted it.As Gregory roared like a man finally being allowed to exorcise the tension he had managed so well up to that point, Richard Gleeson fell to his knees, eyes red from the pain of knowing he was most to blame. More so through having the courage and trust to deliver that final set. His second ball could have been better, but the first was more or less exactly what he wanted. It didn’t matter what the third was.Having been there at the end of Lancashire’s last-ball defeat in the Vitality Blast final against Hampshire, this was another demoralising moment for Gleeson – at the end of an otherwise breakthrough summer in which he’s made his England debut and earned a role as a designated reserve for the T20 World Cup. One crumb of comfort was how quickly he rose to his feet to congratulate the victors. The 34-year-old is no stranger to returning from adversity.How we got to this finish will remain a mystery, because nothing about how the match’s previous 195 deliveries suggested anything close to a high drama, high-quality finale. There was ebb and flow, which isn’t exactly what this format is supposed to be about. The scores and balls go up, then they come down, while the broadcasters assure you this is the best thing ever. By the end, they weren’t even hamming it up.Everyone got what they wanted at the toss. Manchester Originals chose to bat first, which suited Trent Rockets who were going to bowl. Midway through the fifth set, with Originals reeling on 22 for three – captain Laurie Evans, wily fox Wayne Madsen and soon-to-be England’s T20 starting opener Phil Salt all seen off in the space of 23 balls – it looked like one team had it very wrong.Sam Cook made the initial breakthroughs•Getty Images

Perhaps cues should have been taken from the women’s game. Oval Invincibles played a tacky pitch better than Southern Brave, in part because they could plan a route to their target of 102 rather than thrash around blindly on a pitch that wasn’t conducive to an engaging spectacle. By CricViz’s metrics, this was the toughest surface for batting in the Hundred this season.It was made that little harder by Sam Cook and Samit Patel, whose variants of seam and spin claimed four for 18 and three for 23 respectively. Cook’s were split evenly between the first 20 and final 20 deliveries. Evans was trapped lbw and Madsen bowled, before he returned at the death to remove Tom Lammonby with a leg-stump yorker and then castle Gleeson.Patel’s work, however, kept an explosive middle-order under wraps. Tristan Stubbs was undone by a bit of bounce – a top-edged sweep to fine leg taken superbly by wicketkeeper Tom Moores as he tracked the ball towards fine leg. The long levers of Walter came and went, as a leading edge found a sprawling Dawid Malan at cover to leave Patel on a hat-trick.The third did not come immediately, but it was perhaps the most valuable of the lot. Ashton Turner, Originals’ replacement for Andre Russell, was finding more joy than any of his team-mates, even striking Patel into the stands at midwicket for the only six of the innings. An attempt to repeat the shot against the 37-year-old found Cook in the deep. Nevertheless, the Australian’s jolt of adrenaline was enough for the tail to sneak to 120.Even with the deck as it was, the expectation was of a comfortable Rockets win, given a line-up packed full of international experience. However, their three T20I centurions all underwhelmed: Alex Hales clubbed Little to cover, Malan (19) gifted Stubbs a leading edge into the covers off Walter, and Colin Munro (16) gave Parkinson the last laugh with a catch at long-off after striking him for back-to-back fours.Patel offered little with the bat. He was struck on the head by a Walter short ball and then fell for just nine from 13 to leave a testing yet achievable 36 from 26. By the final 15, just after Moores had become Walter’s second, there were 24 required which became 15 from 13 when a scampered three was followed by a Daniel Sams heave to leg off Tom Hartley that was carried over the boundary by Lammonby.Related

Another go at clearing that region went too straight and into Stubbs’ mitts at long-on, the first of two wickets for four runs in the eight balls that led to Gleeson’s fateful final five.The journey to that point had been long and winding, beginning at the start of August and featuring a Friday-night detour to the Ageas Bowl for Manchester Originals to earn the right to be here. And now, thanks to two wickets each for Little, Walter, Hartley and Parkinson, they were on the verge of doing it the hard way. Now they’ll have to start from the beginning and do it all again.As for the Rockets, this was no less than they deserved. They have set the standard in the men’s competition, right down to leaning on Nottinghamshire’s fashioning of Trent Bridge into one of the best short-form venue experiences in the world. For the longest time, the ground and the county have set a high standard for white ball cricket. Now they have another trophy to show for it, after a match that served a timely reminder that, no matter the format, cricket always wins.
