(Reuters) - Two years after nearly quitting cricket while battling mental health issues, late-blooming opener Sarel Erwee savoured a brilliant maiden century on Friday to drag South Africa back into the test series against New Zealand.
After not being at his best against the West Indies in the recently-concluded T20I series, India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan found his form, scoring a brisk 89 off just 56 balls against Sri Lanka in the first T20I at the Ekana Sports City in Lucknow. With his knock, Ishan Kishan surpassed the likes of Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and MS Dhoni to register the highest score by an Indian stumper in T20Is. His knock was laced with 10 boundaries and three sixes, striking at an average of just under 159.
India batter Ishan Kishan says that the attacking gameplan he has been given by the team leadership has set him up to succeed.
cricket while battling mental health issues, late-blooming opener Sarel Erwee savoured a brilliant maiden century on Friday to drag South Africa back into the Test series against New Zealand. The 32-year-old lefthander's sparkling 108 on day one of the second Test at Hagley Oval helped the Proteas to a position of strength at 238 for three at stumps after captain Dean Elgar won the toss and sent his team in to bat. It was a stunning turnaround for both team and player, with Erwee managing only 10 runs on debut last week as South Africa crashed to their second-worst defeat in Tests in the first meeting at Christchurch.
Johannesburg - Sarel Erwee went in to the second Test saying he wanted wanted to right the wrongs from the first game and boy did he do that.
Pat Cummins said on Friday his team were "comfortable" with security arrangements and excited by what lies ahead, as Australia prepare to jet into Pakistan on their first tour since 1998. They are due to leave over the weekend ahead of the first of three Tests in Rawalpindi on March 4 -- giving them less than a week to acclimatise and without any warm-up matches. It will be followed by Tests in Karachi and Lahore before three ODIs and a single Twenty20, all in Rawalpindi. "We've got to a place where everyone hopping on the plane is comfortable with where it's all sitting. It's been a really thorough body of work that the security and the logistics teams have worked through," Cummins said.
India were forced to look in the mirror after their early exit from the T20 World Cup last year but four months later, they look a transformed unit with a bunch of youngsters being tried out in various positions and roles. It is still early days but the Rohit Sharma-led side has already figured out the core group of players that will travel to Australia for the World Cup Down Under later this year.
