Australia's Nathan Lyon conjured up a spin masterclass in the third test against India on Thursday and his figures of eight for 64 were even more special coming against arguably the best players of spin bowling.
INDORE, India : India were all out for 163 in their second innings on Thursday, leaving Australia needing 76 to win the third test in Indore.
Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has advised India skipper Rohit Sharma and the team management to back underfire player KL Rahul. It is worth noting that Rahul is going through a lean patch with the bat and that saw him being dropped for the third Test against Australia. The player who was part of the first two matches could score only 38 runs across three innings. Shubman Gill, who is having a good run with the bat currenly, has replaced him in the playing XI. However, Clarke is of the opinion that the team management should have shown more faith in the player.
Nathan Lyon took eight wickets on Thursday to give Australia a glimmer of hope of beating India in the third Test - provided they can avoid another calamitous batting collapse.
Amid the welter of men’s T20 franchise leagues, Test series, qualifying groups for T20 and ODI World Cups, a women’s T20 World Cup has been played in South Africa. It had its share of surprises, not least of which was that the host nation reached the final, having lost its opening two matches, before losing to a strong Australian team.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting fears struggling David Warner runs the risk of missing out on the Ashes series and his Test career might end on a tragic note following his prolonged dry run with the bat. Ponting feels Warner would struggle to find a place in the touring Ashes squad and his Test career might just not end on his own terms. Warner had a torrid tour of India, where he scored 1, 10 and 15 in three innings before returning home with a fractured elbow. The left-hander has struggled in the last England tour in 2019, averaging just 9.5. "I've heard him talk before about their cycle. This current cycle will finish after the World Test Championship, which is obviously the week before the first Ashes Test and I would think all going well that they want to get David through until the end of that Test match at least," Ponting was quoted as saying by RSN Cricket.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah unveiled the official mascot of the Women's Premier League (WPL) on Thursday. The official mascot of the WPL is named 'Shakti' and resembles a tigress, donning a blue jersey. In its inaugural edition, five teams - Delhi Capitals, Gujarat Giants, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore and UP Warriorz splurged their purse to acquire some of the best talents in the international and domestic circuit.
Former Australia opener Mark Waugh was extremely critical of the pitch in Indore after 14 wickets fell on Day 1 of the third Test encounter between India and Australia on Wednesday. The pitch produced uneven bounce for the players and most of the batters were stunned by the amount of spin on offer for the Aussie bowlers. India were bundled out for just 109 and in response, Australia started well but ended up losing four wickets before the end of day's play. "It was mayhem. The pitch was not up to test standard, I think that's a fair thing to say," Mark Waugh told Fox Sports after the day ended.
