Glenn Maxwell smashed an unbeaten 32 off nine balls to take Australia to an easy five-wicket win over Zimbabwe in the first of three one-day internationals at Townsville's Riverway Stadium on Sunday. Chasing 201 for victory, the Australians reached their target with more than 16 overs to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. All-rounder Cameron Green ripped out the Zimbabwe tail with 5-33 as the visitors collapsed from 185-4 to 200 all out, a total that was never going to be enough against a full-strength Australia.
When James Anderson took the wicket of Simon Harmer during South Africa's second innings of the second Test in Manchester on Saturday, he went past Australia legend Glenn McGrath to become the leading wicket-taker in international cricket among pacers.

Anderson now has 664 wickets in Tests, 269 in ODIs and 18 in T20 Internationals (T20Is).

New Zealand defeated West Indies by 50 runs in the rain-affected second ODI match between the sides at Kensington Oval, Barbados on Friday. Given that the guests were trailing 0-1 in the three-match series, it was a much-needed victory for them. Finn Allen was their star on the match day as he scored 96 runs to take the side to 212 before it got bundled out. Meanwhile, Michael Bracewell also hogged limelight, not for his batting or bowling but for a sensational catch he took in the match.
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath was all praise for India fast bowler Umran Malik, saying that sheer pace is unique and that cannot be taught to any bowler in the world. Umran impressed everyone with his pace during the Indian Premier League 2022, clocking over 150 kph regularly. As a result, the Jammu and Kashmir pacer recently made his debut for India during the T20I series against Ireland. While several experts have suggested that Umran should focus more on line and length instead of pace. However, McGrath said that he hates seeing fast bowlers sacrificing pace to attain control.
Former Australia pacer Glenn McGrath is of the opinion that fast bowlers should not reduce their speed in order to gain control in bowling. He added that the pacers should work harder to bowl right line and length with their top speed. McGrath cited the example of former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson on how fast bowlers should develop their game. He claimed that the southpaw was a "dangerous bowler" at the start but after working on his action and run-up, he became a "lethal bowler".
