MELBOURNE : Former Australia all-rounder Andrew Symonds was remembered as a rare cricket talent and "mischievous character" at a public memorial in the north Queensland city of Townsville on Friday.
Umran Malik has been the talk of the town this IPL as the SunRisers Hyderabad pacer has impressed many cricket fans, followers and even ex-cricketers with his raw pace and verve. Malik has been great form for SRH, picking up 15 wickets so far. He is the second highest wicket taker for the franchise in IPL 2022 behind T Natarajan and many believe he should be fast tracked to international cricket.
Yuvraj Singh has revealed how his then skipper Sourav Ganguly spooked him so much by pulling a prank the night before his debut at the 2000 ICC Knockout tournament that he could not sleep the whole night. An 18-year-old Yuvraj dominated the Australian attack led by the likes of Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee as his 80-ball 84, filled with superb drives and flicks, led India to 265/9. The score proved too much for the Australians as they were bowled out for 245, with India winning the ICC Knockout quarterfinal in Nairobi on October 7, 2000.
Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath on Friday said the way fast-rising Prasidh Krishna bowled a penultimate over in an IPL game showed he could handle pressure. McGrath also expects India pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who is having a low-key IPL for Mumbai Indians and has taken only four wickets so far, to bounce back strongly.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik has been the stand-out pacer of this IPL so far. The 22-year-old from Jammu & Kashmir has clocked speeds in excess of 150 kph on a regular basis and topped that with yorkers that have tested the batters. Former Australian pace legend Glenn McGrath - currently in India in his capacity as director of the MRF Pace Foundation - felt that the selectors will be tracking the youngster closely.
