Legendary pacer Glenn McGrath has slammed England for playing casual cricket against Australia in the ongoing Ashes, sarcastically terming it as "CazBall" instead of "Bazball", the aggressive version of game associated with the Brendon McCullum coached side in recent times. England are down 0-2 after losing the first two Tests at the Edgbaston and the Lord's. The 53-year-old said he was initially in "two minds" over the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow, which has divided the cricketing world with many, including skipper Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, calling it contrary to the 'spirit of the game'.
Rose Lavelle said she is more comfortable taking on the responsibilities of leadership and is ready to step up as a senior member of the U.S. squad when she heads to her second Women's World Cup, even as questions remain around her fitness.

Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek were in cruise control at Wimbledon on Wednesday, but confetti-throwing climate protesters and rain delays caused more headaches at the All England Club. Djokovic, bidding for a record equalling eighth Wimbledon men's title and 24th Grand Slam crown, defeated Australia's Jordan Thompson 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5. It was the 36-year-old's 350th Grand Slam singles win, third only to Roger Federer and Serena Williams on the all-time list. Victory also preserved his 10-year undefeated record on Centre Court.
The second Ashes Test between England and Australia grabbed a lot of limelight because of the infamous dismissal of Jonny Bairstow by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. The match ended in the favour of the visitors, who then took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. As both the teams are now gearing up for the third Ashes Test, which will begin on Thursday, Australia skipper Pat Cummins expressed his view on Bairstow's wicket and stated that he would not shy away from doing such a thing again if he gets an opportunity.
England wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow has been in the headlines ever since his controversial dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's. Alex Carey's decision to throw the ball at the stumps while Bairstow was still in his crease gave Australia a big reward, in the form of the English batter's wicket. While there remains a 'spirit of cricket' debate around the dismissal, the letter of the law allowed what happened on the field. Now, a video has emerged highlighting Bairstow's 'routine' that prompted Carey to throw the ball at the stumps.
