Stuart Broad joined Test cricket’s exclusive 600 club as he and Chris Woakes kept England’s hopes of a rousing Ashes comeback alive on day one of the fourth Test at Old Trafford.
The ongoing Ashes series between England and Australia is getting more intense with every passing game. After taking a 2-0 lead, the visitors faced a three-wicket defeat in the third match as the series now stands at 2-1. Australia skipper Pat Cummins has been outstanding in the series, so far. Apart from shining with the ball, the ace pacer also played an unbeaten knock of 44 runs, and guided his team to victory in the first Test. As both teams are now preparing for the fourth Test, the question arises whether the team management will be resting Cummins to manage his workload.
The first day of the first Test match against West Indies belonged to Ravichandran Ashwin. He completed his 33rd five-wicket haul in style to put his team on the front foot. He has now become the bowler with the most five-wicket hauls in Test cricket among all active players. After missing the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 final against Australia earlier in June, Ashwin made an impactful return in India's first match of the new 2023-25 WTC cycle. He took 5/60 in 24.3 overs at an economy rate of 2.44. He dismissed skipper Kraigg Braithwaite, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder and Jomel Warrican.
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'.
Legendary Australia cricketer Glenn McGrath was left disappointment by the third umpire's decision on a controversial catch taken by Mitchell Starc on Day 4 of the second Ashes Test. During England's chase of 371 runs in the final innings of the game, Ben Duckett got an edge and Starc took a diving catch at fine third man region. Upon finishing the catch, the Australia star had a big smile on his face, confident that he did enough to send the England batter packing.
Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon suffered an Ashes injury scare when he limped off with a calf problem during the second day of the second Test at Lord's. Lyon appeared to hold his calf muscle after running in from the boundary Thursday to field a shot from England's Ben Duckett. The 35-year-old slowly hobbled off the field and sat down for several minutes while a member of Australia's medical team checked his injury.
England pacer Stuart Broad did the inevitable as he dismissed Australia opener David Warner for the 15th time in Test cricket. The incident happened on Day 2 of the ongoing first Ashes Test at Edgbaston. Broad got the chance to bowl at the former Australia captain at the end of the opening day after England declared at 393/8, but Warner survived a nervy 20-minute session against his nemesis. However, Broad struck with the first ball of his fourth over of the morning as Warner inside-edged the delivery back onto his stumps.
Indian cricket team has had some extraordinary batters over the years but no one has been able to match the greatness of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. The Master Blaster had a huge career of 24 years and broke numerous records with the bat. However, one bowler who always used to trouble Tendulkar was Pakistan's former all-rounder Abdul Razzaq. There used to be a tough-time for Tendulkar whenever he would be facing Razzaq and after his retirement he even praised the all-rounder for his greatness.
