Clarke speaks of emotional toll

At the end of a tumultuous summer, Michael Clarke admitted he spoke of a World Cup victory based on skill over emotion as a way of convincing himself that he could endure the toll of this most draining season

Daniel Brettig at the MCG29-Mar-2015At the end of a summer when Australia went through the unspeakable grief of bidding farewell to Phillip Hughes, Michael Clarke admitted he spoke of a World Cup victory based on skill over emotion as a way of convincing himself that he could endure the toll of this most draining season.Clarke spoke fully and frankly of the longest of summers after lifting the Cup in front of a world record MCG crowd and signing off from limited-overs cricket with an emphatic win over New Zealand. But it was clear how much it had stretched Clarke, from the emotional tumult around the death of Hughes to running battles with the selection panel over his fitness to lead.”The summer has been different because it’s not just about the physical side of the game,” he said. “I think we’ve all experienced the mental side and the emotion of what’s happened, and I guess that’s why the boys deserve even more credit, to be able to continue to get up every single day and want to perform and help the team have success with that emotion that runs through your body.”I think through the whole World Cup, I made it very clear that it was going to be skill, not emotion that won us the World Cup, and I think a lot of the things I’ve said in press conferences have actually been for myself. I’m saying it out loud so I can hear it myself, and I think that’s probably one of the main things I’ve been saying, skill over emotion will win the World Cup for us, and I think I’ve needed to hear that, as well. I’ve needed to say it out loud because it has been emotional, there’s no doubt about it.”To fight my backside off and work as hard as I possibly have to get back into the team, number one, after surgery, and then I guess to deal with what we’ve all dealt with over the last few months and to win a World Cup in front of your home fans, it’s taken amazing discipline from all the players, a lot of hard work, and it’s a fitting reward, like I say, for the pain everyone has gone through.”Clarke said he had found it harder to deal with the gap left in his life by his friend and “little brother” as the summer went on, spending a lot of time speaking with the Hughes family, whom he had shepherded through the days before and after the 25-year-old’s death.”Hughesy is thought about and spoken about on a daily basis,” Clarke said. “I think probably the last couple of months for me personally, it’s probably been harder than when he first passed away. I’ve been in regular contact with his sister and his family. And I know they would have been watching tonight. I guess that’s what makes it so special, that we are still thinking about him. We are still talking about him, and we always will.”Like I say, I won’t play another game, I certainly won’t play a Test match without his Test number on my heart, and I’ll wear this black armband for the rest of my career. You know, we’ve spoken about it as a team. We believe we played this World Cup with 16 players in our squad, and that will continue for the rest of my career, that’s for sure.”A little more than a day after he had announced his ODI retirement, Clarke was convinced the team was in good hands. Marshalled by the coach Darren Lehmann and Clarke’s likely successor Steven Smith, they can be expected to carry on in the same aggressive vein that typified their success in this World Cup. Certainly Clarke had no doubt he was leaving the side in better shape than when he first led it in 2011.

I think the team is in a great place. I think that talent will not just be talent, it’ll be consistent performance. Like I said, I think it’s the right time for me to go now

“Now I know it’s the right time,” he said. “There’s no such thing as fairytales in sport but that’s as close as it gets for me, not only to win a World Cup but to win in front of your home fans. There was a lot of expectation, a lot of added pressure, the fact we were playing in Australia in front of our home fans. I think the boys soaked that up from day one and loved every minute of it.”We’ve worked really hard. Even today once we bowled New Zealand out, six or seven of the guys went to the nets for a hit in the lead-up to our batting innings just to make sure they were as well prepared as they possibly could be and ready to walk out and chase those 180 runs. It shows the discipline and the dedication to wanting the team to have success. I’m extremely proud and really happy with how the day panned out.”I think the team is in a great place. I think they’ll continue to have success. I think they’ll continue to get better. I think that talent will not just be talent, it’ll be consistent performance. I think, like I said, I think it’s the right time for me to go now. I think this team is ready to move forward and continue to have a lot of success all around the world.”As for the timing of his retirement announcement, something a few had questioned on match eve, Clarke gave a simple and logical explanation. In doing so he illustrated how much attention he has paid to the media cycle during his career, both its bouquets and brickbats.”Because I think tomorrow’s press is going to be about the team, and if I announced it tonight, then tomorrow’s press wouldn’t have been about the team,” Clarke said. “I’ve probably taken one day of media rather than a week of it. I’m hoping the next week is full of positive things about every single player in that change room and what they’ve achieved in this tournament. But you guys will dictate that.”

ميدو: صن داونز فريق مزعج وجمهوره يقلق من مواجهة الأهلي

قال أحمد حسام ميدو لاعب ومدرب الزمالك الأسبق، ومقدم البرامج الرياضية الحالي، إن فريق النادي الأهلي مقبل على موعد تاريخي في مباراة كبيرة أمام صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي.

ويصطدم الأهلي بنظيره صن داونز الجنوب إفريقي في نصف نهائي دوري السوبر الإفريقي (الدوري الإفريقي).

وأضاف ميدو في تصريحات تلفزيونية بفضائية “المحور” عبر برنامج “الريمونتادا”: “فريق صن داونز من الفرق أصحاب الهوية في قارة إفريقيا ولديهم مدرسة لعب مميزة جدًا”.

Lehmann backs ICC drive against suspect actions

Darren Lehmann, the Australia coach, has praised the ICC’s recent crackdown on suspect bowling actions, saying it is good for the game. Since July 2014, the ICC’s match officials have reported six bowlers for suspect actions, including Pakistan offspinner Saeed Ajmal. Ajmal, who has been Pakistan’s lead spinner across formats was banned last week after being reported during the Galle Test against Sri Lanka.Lehmann had earlier raised the issue of suspect actions, specifically against West Indies’ Marlon Samuels during the Big Bash League 2012-13. Lehmann had questioned the legitimacy of Samuels’ action after the bowler had been reported during IPL 2012. Lehmann was also recently nominated to the ICC Cricket Committee that had pushed for better methods to detect flex and suggested more support for match officials to identify illegal actions with confidence.”The ICC have obviously decided to have a crackdown on it and that’s good for the game. We’ve got to make sure that area is right,” Lehmann told radio channel, . “If you’re within the rules then fine, if you’re not, then you’ve got to be looked at. That’s what they have decided to do. They have had a real crackdown on four-five players of late so what that tells coaches and players, and everyone coming through the game and the young guys, is you won’t be able to do any of that moving forward.”Discussing Australia’s performance in the triangular series in Zimbabwe, Lehmann said he was disappointed with the final result but acknowledged the series had allowed the team management to get a look at a few players before the World Cup.Australia were beaten by Zimbabwe and South Africa in the league stage of the tri-series, before they lost to South Africa by six wickets in the final. Despite the performances, Lehmann said Australia had a better experience in the tournament by testing a few youngsters against players like AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, and had also gained insights into South Africa’s preparations for the World Cup.”Obviously the results were a bit disappointing but we found a few and we haven’t seen a couple of these guys at that level,” he said. “You’ve got to remember we played against a very good side and came up against the best players in the world in [Faf] du Plessis and [AB] de Villiers.”It was very good for our young players to see that kind of team. We probably got more out of the tournament than South Africa did. We know exactly how they’re going to shape up and what they are going to do. They won’t change their set-up. So we know what to expect from them. Obviously, the wickets are nothing like the Australian wickets, so that’s an advantage. They have a very good bowling attack, but it’s good to see them close-up.”Lehmann also brushed aside suggestions of issues with Michael Clarke after the Australia captain criticised team selection during the triangular series. Clarke, who had to leave Zimbabwe after just one game due to a hamstring injury, had expressed his unhappiness over the selectors’ decision to omit Steven Smith from the XI during the three-wicket loss to Zimbabwe. Responding to Clarke’s comments at the time, Lehmann had said he would have preferred to have their conversations kept out of the media.”[There’s] Nothing. He said something, I said something. That’s what happened,” Lehmann said. “Clarke and I laughed about that last couple of days, it’s been quite interesting. No issues whatsoever. We deal with those issues straightaway and move on. Captains will be disappointed when they lose, as they should be, and as we want him to be. We were disappointed and that’s the way it goes sometimes.”You are allowed to make mistakes. There are no issues from Michael’s end, or my end or anyone’s end. It’s been out more in the media.”

Jogos de volta da Copa do Brasil têm novas polêmicas envolvendo o VAR

MatériaMais Notícias

Novamente, o árbitro de vídeo teve papel polêmico nas partidas do futebol brasileiro. Durante os jogos de volta das quartas de final da Copa do Brasil, ontem, duas partidas tiveram situações envolvendo o VAR. Atlético-MG x Cruzeiro e Internacional x Palmeiras contaram com a presença decisiva da assistência do vídeo em lances capitais dos confrontos. Confira!

Gol anulado e expulsão marcam clássico mineiro

No dérbi de Minas, um lance chamou a atenção. Após um escanteio cobrado pelo Galo, o lateral-esquerdo Fábio Santos disputou a bola com Marquinhos Gabriel e caiu. O juiz mandou seguir e, na sequência da jogada, Pedro Rocha marcou o gol cruzeirense. O VAR entrou em ação e o juiz anulou o gol da Raposa por suposta falta em Fábio Santos no início do lance.

Além disso, logo após o gol e antes do juiz rever a jogada, uma confusão se instalou entre os jogadores. Tudo porque, na comemoração, Pedro Rocha tirou a camisa e mostrou à torcida atleticana. Alguns atletas do Galo não gostaram da atitude e foram tirar satisfação com o atacante celeste. Em meio à confusão, Alerrandro, do Atlético, e David, do Cruzeiro, trocaram empurrões e acabaram expulsos pelo árbitro Flavio Rodrigues de Souza.

Ao LANCE!, o ex-árbitro Carlos Eugênio Simon destacou que, no clássico entre Atlético-MG e Cruzeiro, o VAR ajudou a corrigir um erro claro do árbitro Flávio Rodrigues de Souza:

– O Marquinhos Gabriel não olha em nenhum momento para a bola. Claramente, ele vai direto no corpo do Fábio Santos e, depois da jogada, vem o gol do Pedro Rocha. O lance, inclusive, aconteceu diante dos olhos do Flávio Rodrigues de Souza, que vinha de boas arbitragens. Graças ao auxílio do VAR, ele não cometeu o erro.

Para ele, os desdobramentos em torno da não marcação do gol foram corretos.

– Na questão disciplinar, ele agiu corretamente. Além de dar o amarelo para o Pedro Rocha por tirar a camisa, David e Alerrandro foram expulsos de maneira correta – finalizou.

VAR volta atrás em pênalti e anula gol do Internacional

Em Porto Alegre também aconteceram lances envolvendo o VAR. Tudo começou aos 35 minutos do segundo tempo, quando Felipe Melo caiu dentro da área e o juiz Raphael Traci marcou pênalti. O VAR foi acionado e anulou a penalidade, pois o volante do Palmeiras sequer foi tocado.

As polêmicas não pararam por aí. No final da partida, aos 47 minutos, Cuesta marcou de cabeça o gol que daria a classificação para o Internacional. Depois de toda a comemoração, a arbitragem anulou o tento, alegando falta do zagueiro colorado sobre Felipe Melo, que estava na marcação. O lance gerou muita polêmica.D’Alessandro acabou sendo expulso por reclamação e até mesmo a Polícia Militar foi acionada para ‘proteger’ a cabine do VAR.

Carlos Eugênio Simon também comentou sobre a arbitragem no Beira -Rio. Segundo ele, Rafael Traci acertou ao, com a ajuda do VAR, anular o pênalti sobre Felipe Melo no confronto entre Internacional e Palmeiras.

– Não aconteceu o pênalti. O Edenílson não toca no Felipe Melo, que acaba caindo. O árbitro de vídeo chamou a atenção e agiu corretamente.

Já a anulação do gol de Victor Cuesta, nos últimos minutos da partida, rendeu outra interpretação de Carlos Eugênio Simon.

– Para mim, o Cuesta salta e em nenhum momento faz carga no Felipe Melo. Não houve infração nenhuma.

O ex-árbitro ainda lamentou a organização da CBF em relação à escala.

– O Rodrigo D’Alonso Ferreira foi árbitro de vídeo neste Internacional x Palmeiras. Um jogo muito tenso, acirrado, com muita pressão para a arbitragem. E no próximo domingo ele já vai apitar o confronto entre Ceará e Palmeiras, pelo Brasileirão.

Com o término das quartas de final, as semis da Copa do Brasil foram definidas: o Internacional encara o Cruzeiro, enquanto o Grêmio enfrenta o Athletico Paranaense. Os mandos de campo serão definidos em sorteio que será realizado na sede da CBF, na próxima segunda-feira.

Wellington end title drought with tense win

Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsJames Franklin anchored Wellington’s chase with a half-century.•Getty Images

Guided by a well-compiled 75 from James Franklin and an aggressive 41 from Luke Ronchi, Wellington edged out Northern Districts by four wickets in a tense game to win the Ford Trophy, their first domestic title in a decade and their first List A title in 12 years.Two of Wellington’s top three could not convert their starts in the 233-run chase but Michael Pollard was effective upfront with a 79-ball 43 that steadied the side. He was unable to push on, and two additional wickets contributed to the asking rate creeping to past seven by the 42nd over. Franklin and Ronchi eased the chase into the final overs and smashed 17 runs off Trent Boult in the 46th to tilt the balance in their favour. But two overs later – with 17 required off 15 – Franklin picked out the fielder at long-off, allowing Northern Districts a toe-hold into the game.Ronchi, however, ensured Wellington’s wait for silverware would not extend to another year, smashing two consecutive fours to the backward square region to take his side home with four balls to spare.Northern Districts would have also rued the fact that they failed to build on a 104-run stand between Brad Wilson and BJ Watling, which had helped them recover from 29 for 2. The pair made fifties with Wilson hitting five fours, one more than Watling, in a 21-over stand before they were dismissed for 65 and 50 respectively.Once the pair were out, Daryl Mitchell and Mitchell Santner added a quick 58 runs for the fifth wicket before Northern Districts went into a freefall at the end of their innings. Their last five wickets fell for just 12 runs, shared by the economical Brent Arnel, Mark Gillespie and Jeetan Patel. Arnel finished with 3 for 30 in nine overs while Gillespie had returns of 3 for 46.

Dhoni sees 'plenty of improvement' since 8-0

Following the drawn second Test in Wellington, India have now failed to win even one of their past 14 away Tests going back to June 2011

Abhishek Purohit in Wellington19-Feb-2014Following the drawn second Test in Wellington, India have now failed to win even one of their past 14 away Tests going back to June 2011. They endured eight straight defeats in England and Australia in 2011-12 but this current side of young batsmen halted that streak with a thrilling draw against South Africa in Johannesburg in December last year. They then lost in Durban and Auckland before failing to convert a strong position in Wellington. MS Dhoni felt his team was continually getting better and would hopefully reach a point where they would start generating victories away from home.”I am someone who speaks more about the process rather than thinking just about the results,” Dhoni said. “We played after a long break outside the subcontinent. If you compare those two series [0-8] with the last few we have played, there is plenty of improvement. That’s what it’s all about. You want to keep improving to a stage where you start converting those good situations into better starts and start capitalising on it. So far you may say we haven’t capitalised on the kind of starts when it came to our batting department, but still there is plenty of improvement. I will take that and move on to the next series.”India did not win a single game out of the 11 completed matches in South Africa and New Zealand. Dhoni said India kept getting ahead in New Zealand but could not make that advantage count with victories on the board. However, he felt there are still plenty of encouraging signs from this tour, even compared to South Africa.”The ODIs were disappointing to some extent, especially the New Zealand part. South Africa, you can always say we didn’t get enough time to prepare ourselves and in a three-match series, it is difficult to come back. But [in] New Zealand there were instances where we could have capitalised on the kind of starts we got or if we had a good partnership in the middle, but we failed to do that.”We saw a glimpse of that in the Test match also. In the last Test match also, in the second innings, we bowled fantastically well to come back into the series. Then when we were batting, I felt we had a good partnership going but we lost wickets at the wrong time and that put the pressure back on ourselves. That’s one part where we will have to improve.MS Dhoni has said there are plenty of positives in the team’s performance compared to the South Africa tour•Getty Images”What’s important is to see whether we have improved and changed the way we have played our cricket. If we compare to it to the South Africa series, there are plenty of positives.”India had embarked on the tour of South Africa with an inexperienced top six, three of whom were on their first overseas Test trip. Dhoni said he had wanted them to develop as cricketers on the twin tours and while most of them had played at least one big innings, the captain said he would like to see them become more consistent.”Often it’s not about how much runs you have scored,” Dhoni said. “It’s often about what kind of cricket you are playing. You may get a good ball and you may get out. But at times, back home what happens is if you score a fifty, you are in form and batting well. But that’s not the reality. A batsman who is batting well may score 30 runs and may get out to a very good delivery. As a batting unit, we have done well and we have shown improvement.”But what’s important is to be more consistent. All batsmen have got one good innings in the last four Tests. If we can improve that and make it maybe two or three, then the situation of the team really improves. That’s one area where we will have to improve, and definitely that seems like something where we will definitely improve in the future.”One positive from the New Zealand tour was that Shikhar Dhawan showed he could score big at the top of the order in Tests outside India, with 115 in Auckland and 98 in Wellington. While his partner M Vijay could not get going, Dhoni was pleased with the “vast” progress of his openers in difficult conditions.”It will always be tough, the reason being it is not easy especially with the Kookaburra ball. It does a lot initially even if the wickets are flat. It is always difficult for the openers and that is where experience to some extent really counts. You only get experience as you play more and more cricket. Considering their frame of mind how it was in South Africa, I think slowly there has been vast improvement, how they are preparing themselves for the games.”Actually, Vijay in the nets has been batting really well. He has not been able to convert or take that into the match but he is looking really good. Shikhar again I think he batted well. He got big runs. It is really important he maintains himself in the same way, figures out how he needs to plan to be successful outside the subcontinent and what will be important is to back yourself to play the kind of cricket you really play.”Also comforting Dhoni was the intensity shown in New Zealand by the leader of his bowling attack, Zaheer Khan. The swing bowler had appeared spent in South Africa after sending down more than 60 overs in Johannesburg, but he was sharp through the 67 overs he had to bowl in Wellington, which included figures of 51-13-170-5 in the second innings. Dhoni said it was good to see Zaheer taking wickets, and added that is what the team would need from him regularly, in addition to the mentoring role he performs.”If I compare Zak from the first Test he played in South Africa to this Test match, there is leaps and bounds of improvement. That’s what I had a chat with him also. When you are playing with three fast bowlers, the role of every fast bowler becomes important. It’s good to see him get wickets. Hopefully, what will happen is with more and more bowling, he will get much better. Now he will play cricket, you have the domestic circuit followed by the IPL. I think it will be good exposure for him. I think in the last innings over here, he bowled really well and that’s where he will have to be throughout.”

Innings wins for Islamabad, Karachi Whites and Rawalpindi

A round-up of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy matches that ended on December 15, 2013

ESPNcricinfo staff15-Dec-2013Group IRawalpindi thrashed Karachi Blues by an innings and 140 runs to continue leading the table with the help of left-arm pacer Nasir Malik’s 11 wickets in the match. Their batting was led by a hundred from Awais Zia (123) which gave them a huge first-innings lead.Karachi started well with Naved Khan (48) and Abdul Jabbar (85) but only one more batsman, Faraz Ahmed (43), managed a decent score to lead them to 266. Nasir was not economical but his five wickets restricted Karachi’s score. Rawalpindi put on a massive 457 with fifties from Babar Naeem (78), Muzammil Nizam (56) and handy contributions from the tail. Still trailing by 191, Karachi were dismantled by Haseeb Azam (4 for 25) and Nasir (6 for 17), who finished with his career-best match figures, to be routed for 51, an innings which included six ducks.Group IIA maiden double-hundred from Faizan Riaz and bowling efforts from medium-pacers Shehzad Azam and Mudassar Ali gave Islamabad an innings win against Quetta in Islamabad to move to third place in Group II.Put in to bat, Riaz’s unbeaten 256 charged Islamabad to 444 for 8, which they declared on. Quetta managed only 208 as Azam took 5 for 63, and were made to follow-on. Still trailing by 236, they were demolished for a paltry 99 in the second attempt, with Mudassar taking 4 for 7 to finish the match with more than a day to spare.Mir Hamza’s 10-wicket haul and hundreds from Saad Ali (101) and Faheem Ahmed (105*) helped Karachi Whites to an innings win against Multan in Karachi, which continued Karachi’s lead at the top of the table.Asked to bat, Multan had only four batsmen reaching double figures, Ahad Raza top-scoring with 47, to reach a total of 115, as Hamza (5 for 31) ran through their tail. Karachi got a shaky start but took a massive lead of 357 runs with the help of Saad and a ninth wicket stand between Faheem and Khurram Shahzad (82). Multan’s batting performance hardly got any better as they tallied 142 in their second attempt and Hamza troubled their top and middle order this time. Aamer Yamin resisted with 61 but could not avoid the big loss.

صحيفة دنماركية: ميتلاند يوافق على رحيل إمام عاشور.. والوجهة معروفة

كشفت صحيفة “Ekstra Bladet” الدنماركية أن رحيل إمام عاشور عن الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ميتلاند أصبح حتميًا في الأيام القليلة المقبلة.

وكان هناك الكثير من الغموض حول مستقبل عاشور مع الفريق الدنماركي، إلا أن التقرير يؤكد أن الأزمة سيتم حلها لأن هناك مفاوضات تتم في الوقت الحالي على رحيل اللاعب.

وأكدت الصحيفة أن ميتلاند سيوافق على رحيل إمام عاشور لصالح الأهلي، رغم أنه كانت النية هي الإبقاء على اللاعب لكن الأخير لم يرغب في الاستمرار بالدنمارك.

وأفاد التقرير أن إمام عاشور ووكيله كانا يعملان من أجل تسريع عملية الانتقال في الفترة الماضية، في ظل تجاهل اللاعب لخطابات ناديه الدنماركي من أجل العودة إلى التدريبات في فترة الإعداد قبل الموسم الجديد.

بعد موقف عاشور من عدم السفر إلى الدنمارك، أصبح لا بديل أمام ميتلاند سوى الموافقة على المفاوضات بشأن مستقبل اللاعب ولهذا الرحيل أصبح قريبًا من أي وقت مضى.

وفضل إمام عاشور الاستمرار في مصر بدلًا من السفر إلى الدنمارك مرة أخرى، بعد أن وافق ميتلاند في منتصف الدور الثاني من الموسم الماضي على عودته إلى القاهرة لتلقي العلاج بعد إصابته وعدم استكماله الموسم تحت إشراف الجهاز الطبي لمنتخب مصر

Vince and Dawson guide Hants

James Vince and Liam Dawson both struck half centuries as Hampshire shaded the first day of their Championship Division Two match against Glamorgan

08-Jul-2013
ScorecardJames Vince and Liam Dawson both struck half centuries as Hampshire shaded the first day of their Championship Division Two match against Glamorgan in a sun-drenched Cardiff. Vince and Dawson, with a partnership of 132 in 40 overs, helped Hampshire to 274 for 5 at the close of the opening day with both sides looking for their second win of the four-day campaign.Glamorgan toiled in the heat on a slow pitch with Australian seamer Michael Hogan the pick of the bowlers with 2 for 44 from his 23 overs, helping to keep the Hampshire rate below three runs an over. Despite losing Vince in the evening session the patient Dawson showed determination in batting for four hours and 13 minutes for his contribution.After winning an important toss on a batsman-friendly slow pitch Hampshire cruised to 80 for 1 in the opening session. Openers Michael Carberry and Jimmy Adams produced a stand of 76 before slow left-armer Dean Cosker struck three overs before lunch. Carberry, who made a patient 31 from 95 balls with five fours, was dismissed when he was caught at mid-on by Stewart Walters.Glamorgan, who were looking to transfer their unbeaten form from the Friends Life t20 competition, included opener Gareth Rees for the injured Will Bragg in his first start of the season.After lunch Hampshire suffered two further setbacks in the hot conditions. Three short of his half century visiting captain Adams edged Will Owen to Walters at second slip. And 93 for 2 became 118 for 3 when South African Neil McKenzie was bowled by Hogan, who registered the first bowling point for Glamorgan. The two wickets fell in the space of 7.3 overs.Hampshire’s post-lunch setbacks were overcome as fourth-wicket pair Vince, who drove well, and Dawson reached tea both 41 not out with their side 183 for 3. In the evening session both Vince and Dawson completed their half centuries but the second new ball saw Glamorgan launch a mini fightback.Just after Hampshire secured a second batting point Hogan claimed his second wicket of the day to trap Vince in front and three overs later Sean Ervine was caught by Walters at second slip after edging Jim Allenby. Dawson and Adam Wheater survived any further scares to take Hampshire to stumps in a solid position.
