ANKARA, Turkey -- Fenerbahce will enter the Champions League on Friday despite its UEFA ban for match-fixing after winning an emergency ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The Turkish club said in a statement to the Istanbul stock exchange on Thursday it was cleared to take part in the third qualifying round draw. "The execution of the two-year ban from UEFA competitions given to our club by the UEFA (appeal) committee has been suspended by CAS," Fenerbahce said. CAS, which registered the Istanbul clubs appeal against UEFA on Wednesday, said all parties agreed to freeze sanctions until the full appeal verdict. "It is anticipated that hearings will take place in August with a final decision being issued before Aug. 28," the court said in a statement. That schedule gives CAS until the eve of the Champions League draw in Monaco -- though Fenerbahce needs to beat two opponents to reach that elite 32-team stage alongside the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Bayern Munich. "This struggle will continue until the end and both the whole of Turkey and the world will see that Fenerbahce is in the right," president Aziz Yildirim told the clubs television station. The case continues fallout from a widespread match-fixing scandal which has rocked Turkish football for two years, and brought Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- a Fenerbahce fan -- into the politics of UEFA and the Turkish Football Federation. UEFA expelled Fenerbahce from its competitions last month after judging that club officials fixed matches to win the 2011 Turkish league title. UEFA rules bar clubs if they are connected to fixing matches played since April 2007. Fenerbahce finished runner-up in the Turkish Super League last season to earn a preliminary-round place. League champion Galatasaray will advance direct to the group stage, which is worth at least 10 million euros ($13.09 million) in UEFA prize money and television rights payments to each Turkish club advancing. Still, Fenerbahce could yet be removed from Europes signature club competition even after playing matches. In August 2011, the Turkish federation -- reportedly under pressure from UEFA -- withdrew Fenerbahce the day before the Monaco draw. Then, runner-up Trabzonspor was restored by UEFA into the group stage even though it had already been eliminated in the qualifying rounds. Fenerbahce officials, including Yildirim, deny wrongdoing and are appealing their criminal convictions in national courts. In a second case Thursday, CAS cleared Beziktas to enter the Europa League draw ahead of its full appeal hearing next month against expulsion. UEFA ruled that Beziktas officials helped fix the teams 2011 Turkish Cup final win.

In their efforts to overcome Sri Lanka this week in Galle, Australia will not just be battling the vagaries of Asian conditions and the skills of Rangana Herath, Kusal Mendis and Lakshan Sandakan. Steven Smiths men will also be confronting history - almost 140 years of it.Never in all their years of Test matches, dating back to 1877, have Australia come back from 1-0 down to win a three-match series. The last time Australia successfully overturned a 1-0 deficit in any series was during the 1997 Ashes in England, where a heavy defeat in the first match at Edgbaston was overcome 3-2 by Mark Taylors team. That encounter was fought over six Tests: a luxury the current side does not have.The size of the task ahead is not lost on Smith, nine matches into his captaincy and five days distant from a first defeat. I guess it would be nice to create some history then, wouldnt it? Smith said. Were still confident that we can win this series. Were going to have to play well, were going to have to play better than we did in Kandy, but Im hopeful that we can do that.Matters of how to achieve this success boil down to a pair of challenges: dealing more effectively with the array of spin bowling presented by Sri Lanka on a dry Galle pitch in order to build big innings, and getting the best out of a bowling attack that will feature a spin debutant in Jon Holland alongside Nathan Lyon, and a pair of potentially explosive pacemen in Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.Smith wants to see his batsmen play to cover balls hitting the stumps in order to try to avoid the surfeit of lbw and bowled dismissals that bedeviled them in Pallekele. He also acknowledged the advice of the former captain Ricky Ponting to avoid being trapped on the crease by good length deliveries.Its obviously different to batting against spin back home, [where] you can trust the bounce and trust what the balls going to do as such, Smith said. For us, we havent done it overly well in the last couple of years. Looking at the dismissals in the first Test match, the balls that skid on are generally not half-volleys; theyre generally pretty good length balls.In saying that, its hard to sometimes distinguish which ball is going to skid and which ball is going to spin. So its about trying to one get the bowlers off their lengths as much as you can, make them a little bit uncomfortable, but at the same time if tthey do get in a good rhythm and you are playing from the crease, particularly against someone like Rangana [Herath] its playing for that ball that is going to skid on.dddddddddddd If it spins and you nick one so be it, but we didnt lose any wickets on the outside of the bat in the last Test match, so I think you can live with that.One of the more revealing elements of Australias preparation was the fact that Starc and Hazlewood were kept away from the nets on their main training day, instead doing one-on-one work with the bowling coach Allan Donald on a centre wicket. Donald was working with South Africa when they recently defeated Sri Lanka on this ground, when reverse swing proved as dangerous as any spin. Smith wants greater economy from his bowlers, and both Starc and Hazlewood should be better for the run last week.Looks pretty dry, I daresay its going to take some spin, which at the same time theres quite a big breeze so I think it will drift a lot for the spinners, Smith said of the conditions. Talking to Allan Donald who was here with the South African team in that game, he said the ball reversed quite significantly from both ends.[Morne] Morkel had it going away from the right handers and [Dale] Steyn had it going into the right handers, so weve got Starc who can do [away swing to right handers] and Hazlewood can do [in swing] and Mitchell Marsh bowls good reverse swing as well, so weve got the bases covered. Its just about going out there and making sure we do the right things this Test match.As for Holland, he and Smith have already spoken at length about how best to bowl in Sri Lanka. I had a few chats to him about paces and the seams that work here, Smith said. Playing in Australia, the spinners that seem to do well there are the ones that get over the top of the ball.The ones who seem to do well in the subcontinent are the ones that actually come under the ball and bowl with that side seam. Hes been working on that over the last couple of days and hes bowled pretty well in the nets. Hes got that little bit of extra height, hes quite tall. Its hard to pick up the length which is pretty key in these conditions.To turn this series around, Australia will need a lot to go right. History, or humiliation, beckons. ' ' '
