Chief Selector George Bailey Provides Hint On Australia's Next Test Opener

Cricket Australia selection chair George Bailey has hinted that Marcus Harris is first in line to be David Warner's successor and become Australia's next Test opener. Harris hasn't played a Test match for his country since the final Ashes Test of the summer at the start of last year, but the 30-year-old was named ahead of a slew of other key batters in Cricket Australia's contract list for the 2023-24 season on Thursday. Harris was one of only three specialist openers to be given a new deal, with selectors opting to leave Matthew Renshaw and Cameron Bancroft off the 24-player list ahead of a busy summer that includes the ICC World Test Championship final against India in June and the Ashes series in England.

Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa Will be Australia's Go-To Bowlers During ODI World Cup: Ricky Ponting

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting expects his country's pace-bowling stalwart Mitchell Starc and leg-spinner Adam Zampa to do the star turn when the ODI World Cup is held in India later this year. Starc, 33, was in sublime form during the three-match ODI series against India recently picking up eight wickets, including a five-for in the third game at Visakhapatnam, as the visitors won the series 2-1. The tall quick made India's T20 specialist middle-order batter Suryakumar Yadav look like a sitting duck, dismissing him for nought in the first two fixtures. Zampa, after being ignored for the four-Test Border-Gavaskar series, also packed a punch in ODIs, grabbing four wickets in the third game at Chennai as Australia won the decider by 21 runs.

"We Conceded 16 Sixes": Ricky Ponting's Brutal Assessment Of DC's Defeat Against LSG

Delhi Capitals chief coach Ricky Pointing expressed his extreme displeasure with the "really sloppy" fielding and poor execution by his bowlers in the team's 50-run defeat to Lucknow Super Giants in an IPL match. Delhi Capitals bowlers gave away 16 sixes and spilled the catch of LSG opener Kyle Mayers, as the team, led by David Warner, had a disappointing start to their 2023 season. Mayers' 73 off 38 balls studded with seven sixes was the cornerstone of LSG's massive 193 for six. Player of the Match Mark Wood then bowled a fiery spell, returning figures of 5/14, as DC were restricted to 143 for nine.
