"You Take The Pitch Away...": South Africa Great's Massive Compliment For Jasprit Bumrah

With his unconventional action, toe-crushing yorkers and disconcerting pace, India's Jasprit Bumrah has taken the pitch out of equation on his way to acquiring legendary status, says fast-bowling great Dale Steyn. Bumrah bowled India to a magnificent win in the second Test against England in Visakhapatnam, helping the hosts level the five-match rubber at 1-1. Steyn was all praise for the premier pacer for his ability to consistently bowl wicket-taking yorkers even on docile Indian pitches, a skill that he believes only a handful of bowlers possess. "I don't think there's any Test bowlers right now who are able to run in and bowl essentially wicket-taking yorkers."

Shamar Joseph May Be Saviour In Purest Form Of Cricket, Says Steve Waugh

Legendary Steve Waugh heaped rich praise on young sensation Shamar Joseph who bowled the West Indies to their first Test win in Australia in 27 years, calling him a ‘saviour in the purest form of the game'. The 24-year-old Joseph, who made his debut in the first Test of the two-match series, ran through Australia with a spell of 11.5-0-68-7 to power Windies to a thrilling eight-run win at the Gabba, Brisbane, a traditional fortress of the hosts. The effort was even more special because Joseph, who not long ago worked as a security guard, braved a toe injury to deliver a win for the ages for his team.

Things were not looking good for West Indies pacer Shamar Joseph as he was forced to retire hurt after copping a blow on his toe, following a vicious yorker from Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc. As a result, West Indies were bowled out for 193 on Day 3 of the 2nd Test in Brisbane. However, with Australia needing just 216 runs to sweep the two-match series, Shamar, who made his debut in the series opener, was taken for scans and thankfully, there was no fracture detected.
