Trophy game, and the fifth ODI between India and New Zealand

Liverpool owner John Henry says fan protests against ticket prices are causing the club to reassess plans to further redevelop Anfield.Henrys Fenway Sports Group apologized to fans earlier this year and reversed planned rises in ticket prices after a walkout during a game.But having funded the redevelopment of Liverpools main stand over the last year, the next phase of the expansion program might not make economic sense if the club cant recoup the construction cost. The Anfield Road stand had been next in line for rebuilding at the 54,000-capacity Anfield.I dont know if there is a next step because ticket prices are an issue in England, Henry said. That may foreclose further expansion. Well have to see.Henry was speaking Tuesday at Yankee Stadium where his baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, was playing the New York Yankees.Liverpool has opened its first full season with Juergen Klopp in charge by winning four of its six Premier League games. The German signed a contract extension in July through 2022.He was a perfect fit for Liverpool, for the culture of the club, for the supporters, for the kind of team that we were trying to build, Henry said. We couldnt have asked for a better fit.With no European matches this season, Liverpool is chasing a top-four finish to return to the Champions League.From the 2018-19 season, entry into the Champions League group stage is easier for English clubs with the Premier Leagues fourth-place team no longer having to go through a playoff.The market pool system, which steers UEFA prize money to clubs in England, Germany, and Italy, where the broadcasting deals are bigger, will be changed to reward better historical results in the competition. That should help Liverpool as a five-time European champion but see income drop for Manchester City, which has never won the continents top prize.The Champions League changes were agreed by a small number of club officials and UEFA, with the rest of Europe not knowing the outcome until the announcement in August.Henry said he was aware of other teams in England obviously not happy with the UEFA deal.The changes werent really discussed with us, they were implemented essentially. They unilaterally made changes to the market pool and there should have been I think more discussion. But I can tell you that the (Premier League) owners were not happy ... at least among the clubs that I speak with.---AP Sports Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.

The Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) has promised a neutral pitch for Visakhapatnams Test debut a day after K Sriram, the BCCI curator who has been overseeing the pitch preparation at the venue, was quoted by PTI as saying it would turn from lunch on the second day. Srirams comments came a day after Virat Kohli had expressed displeasure at the amount of grass on the pitch for the first Test in Rajkot, which ended with India having to fight out a draw.G Gangaraju, the ACA secretary, said there was no request from the Indian team management for a rank turner. They didnt ask for anything, he told ESPNcricinfo. We [also] dont entertain anything like that. Its a neutral pitch for both the teams. Both the teams have seen the pitch, and they are very happy. Both the curators - the board curator Mr K Sriram and our ACA curator Mr K Nagamallaiah - have done a very good job. Ashish Bhowmick, the BCCI curator from the East Zone, is also at the venue to oversee preparations.India coach Anil Kumble, though, said at a press conference before the teams training session that he hadnt seen the pitch yet. Whatever pitch we get, we will make our strategy around it and select a team accordingly, he said. We play to take 20 wickets and win the match.The pitch in Visakhapatnam has been under scrutiny lately after 17 wickets fell on the third day of a Ranji Trophy game between Assam and Rajasthan last month. After Assam were bowled out for 69 inside 21 overs, their coach Sunil Joshi took to Twitter to slamm the unpredictable pitch.dddddddddddd Gangaraju, though, played down the controversy, and said the pitch to be used for the Test was different to the ones that staged the Ranji Trophy game, and the fifth ODI between India and New Zealand, where the visitors slumped to 79 all out chasing 270. The pitch used for the ODI was slow, batsmen struggled to time their strokes, and there was appreciable turn for the spinners, with Amit Mishra picking up 5 for 18 in six overs.An ACA official, who is closely involved in the preparation of the pitch, said the bounce was likely to remain consistent throughout the Test.The pitch has very less grass. It wont be to the same extent as in Rajkot, where there was not much turn even on the fourth day, he said. There was some uneven bounce on the fourth [third] day of the Assam-Rajasthan game, but here I think the bounce will remain consistent all the way. It is something we have worked a lot on.He said conditions in Visakhapatnam wouldnt allow for the ball to turn right from the first day as had been the case in some of the Tests against South Africa last year, but would remain good for batting for the most part.The pitch is a mixture of 50% black soil and 50% clay, the official said. The cracks wont open up here too much; the clay is different [to pitches seen against South Africa], and the climatic conditions are different. ' ' '
