The ghosts of Australia in the recent past came back to haunt England in the Caribbean on Saturday in a batting collapse that all but ensured West Indies of a stunning series victory.
Australian bowlers were at their ruthless best on Day 5 of the third and final Test at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Led by their skipper and fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Australia sealed the three-match series 1-0 with a 115-run win in the series decider. After the first and second Test in Rawalpindi and Karachi, respectively, had ended in draws, Cummins and Nathan Lyon produced one of the finest spells on a batting-friendly track, as Pakistan were skittled out for cheap.
After Australia's 1-0 Test series triumph over Pakistan on Friday, captain Pat Cummins praised the influence of interim coach Andrew McDonald in the team's victory. Nathan Lyon's five-wicket haul and skipper Pat Cummins' three-wicket haul helped Australia in bowling out Pakistan at 235 and claiming a victory by 155 runs on Day 5 of the third Test. "He's fantastic, Very diligent, very thorough, strategic, very organised. He is a huge part of this tour win ... and all the support staff. It's not just the players that walk out, we have got a squad of 30-odd people working so hard. He (McDonald) has been an important part," cricket.com.au quoted Pat Cummins as saying.
Senior batter Steve Smith has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming limited-overs matches with Pakistan due to a recurrence of a left elbow injury, Cricket Australia said Saturday.
Steve Smith has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming limited-overs matches with Pakistan due to a recurrence of a left elbow injury, Cricket Australia said Saturday. The 32-year-old became the fastest batter to complete 8,000 runs during the final Test in Lahore that Australia won by 115 runs to clinch the series 1-0 on Friday.
Australia suffered a blow ahead of their upcoming ODI series and lone T20 against Pakistan with senior batter Steve Smith being ruled out with an elbow problem. Cricket Australia said on Friday night that Smith will miss the white-ball leg of the tour of Pakistan to manage discomfort in his left elbow. "Smith experienced some discomfort during the three-match Test series and, with a full schedule of international cricket over the coming 18 months, it was felt prudent to prioritise recovery and treatment at this time," a CA statement said.
Indian Premier League (IPL) champions. Since then, a mega-auction has happened, both Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders have acquired a new look with their cores intact. And now they are back in the cauldron of Wankhede to kickstart a new season. The CSK-KKR rivalry isn’t exactly top billing, with the Chennai team generally having the better of the exchanges, including the last final. But KKR have had an X-factor over the years that always makes them an uncomfortable team to play first up. Probably, CSK’s bitterest-ever defeat in IPL came in the 2012 final at Chepauk against KKR when Manvinder Bisla played a blinder. Since then, CSK have always been cautious going into this fixture, more so due to the presence of the likes of West Indians Andre Russell and Sunil Narine. These two players have bothered the four-time champions time and again and CSK will try to ensure that the duo does not get going on Saturday.
Australia claimed a historic victory against Pakistan on Friday, taking the three-Test series 1-0 with a 115-run win on the fifth day of the last match in Lahore.
