DT 26 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2016 Sport Siddikur continues to shine in Macau • Tribune Report Premier Bangladesh golfer Siddikur Rahman continued to shine in the Venetian Macao Open as he carded four-under-par 67 in the second round yesterday to rise to joint seventh position, tied alongside three others. The 31-year old golfer from Madaripur traded six birdies against two bogeys in the $1,100,000 tournament and now trails early leaders Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe, Kalem Richardson of Australia, Indians Chikkarangappa S and Anirban Lahiri and Sutijet Kooratanapisan of Thailand by only two shots. Siddikur maintained his good run at Macau Golf and Country Club as he had struck two-under-par 69 in the opening round, hitting four birdies and half as many bogeys. • Novak Djokovic of Serbia plays against Mischa Zverev of Germany during the Shanghai Masters yesterday REUTERS Hughes family walk out • AFP, Sydney The family of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes walked out of the inquest into his death yesterday, with his father calling the Sydney Cricket Ground an “unsafe workplace”. Hughes, who played 26 Tests, was 25 years old when he died from bleeding on the brain in November 2014 after being hit on the base of the skull by a ball during a domestic Sheffield Shield match in Sydney. The five-day inquest, which wrapped yesterday, has looked into whether he was targeted with short balls or “sledged” with unsettling comments from opponents, but has also exposed tensions between Hughes’ family and the cricket community. Hughes’ father Greg wrote that he was concerned about the amount of short-pitch bowling to his son. • MSC finally open account Djoker hoping Kyrgios can stop spoiling his gifts • Reuters, Shanghai World number one Novak Djokovic hopes Nick Kyrgios can learn some “life lessons” after the Australian was fined by the ATP Tour for breaching its code of conduct during a contentious defeat at the Shanghai Masters. The Australian was beaten 6-3 6-1 by Mischa Zverev in a second-round match on Wednesday in which he put in a series of half-hearted serves and appeared to be walking off court before the unseeded German had completed his shot. The 21-year-old, who has had a number of scrapes with tennis authorities over his behaviour in the past, also clashed with spectators before being booed off the court and was subsequently fined $16,500 by the ATP for his behaviour.• Farbrace backs Morgan return • AFP, Chittagong Eoin Morgan will return as captain of England’s limited overs side in India next year despite skipping the ongoing tour of Bangladesh over safety fears, according to assistant coach Paul Farbrace. Some commentators have queried whether Morgan should resume the captaincy after he and opener Alex Hales decided not to travel to Bangladesh in the wake of an attack on a cafe in Dhaka in July that killed 18 foreigners. In Morgan’s absence, Jos Buttler led the ODI side to an impressive 2-1 victory in a contest which ended on Wednesday - making England the first side to win a 50- over series in Bangladesh in seven attempts. Despite winning plaudits for his captaincy, Buttler has insisted he is only keeping the seat warm for Morgan who has presided over a sharp improvement in England’s limited overs cricket in the last 18 months. Farbrace said Morgan is “100 percent” sure to return to the role next January when England are due to play a series of ODI and T20 matches against India. “He will definitely be captain in India,” Farbrace told reporters.• • Tribune Report Mohammedan Sporting Club finally registered their first victory in the Bangladesh Premier League this season after beating reigning champions Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club 1-0 in their 10th match at Bangabandhu National Stadium yesterday. Tawhidul Alam Sabuj put Mohammedan ahead three minutes into the second half, smashing home after Nzekou Patrice’s corner was headed down by Shahadat Hossain Shahed inside the box. Sheikh Jamal goalkeeper Mazharul Islam Hemel produced an outstanding save to deny a powerful free-kick of Senegalese defender Yaya Sy in the 19th minute. A fullstretched Hemel dived to his right to rescue Sheikh Jamal on that occasion. Mohammedan are ninth with nine points from 10 matches while Sheikh Jamal are joint top with Rahmatganj with 19 points each. Rahmatganj though are ahead on goal difference. In the day’s other match at the same venue, struggling RESULTS Mohammedan 1-0 Sk Jamal Sabuj 48 Arambagh 1-0 SkRussel Tyson 37 Sheikh Russel Krira Chakra continued their poor form as they conceded yet another defeat, this time against Arambagh Krira Sangha, who edged past them 1-0. Brazilian midfielder Thiago Tyson netted the all-important goal in the first half to help Arambagh post their third victory in the league this season while it was Sheikh Russel’s seventh defeat in 10 matches. Sheikh Russel had earned their first win in their previous match against Mohammedan. Sheikh Russel remained second from bottom in the table with only five points while Arambagh, who had to start without their firstchoice custodian Mitul Hasan due to suspension, moved to sixth place with 14 points. Pappu Hossain replaced Mitul between the bars. Thiago Tyson gave Arambagh the breakthrough with a brilliant strike in the 37th minute. Following a lovely flick from Mohammad Abdullah, the Brazilian took little time outside the penalty area before unleashing an amazing left-footer that deflected off Monaem Khan Raju to sneak past Sheikh Russel netminder Zia. •
