SYDNEY :Australian opener David Warner's impassioned appeal for the return of his missing baggy green cap for his final test has been successful with the rucksack containing the iconic headwear discovered at the team hotel in Sydney.
SYDNEY : David Warner admits he never quite fit the mould of a test player but this week will end his 12-year career on his own terms and in the same manner that other modern greats of the Australian game have made their exits.
SYDNEY : Australian opener David Warner has made an impassioned appeal for the return of a rucksack containing his baggy green cap that went missing on a flight from Melbourne to Sydney for his final test match this week.
Mitchell Starc, Australia's World Cup-winning pacer, became the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), after he was bought for Rs 24.75 crore by Kolkata Knight Riders at the Players Auction earlier this month. Starc became the second player to breach the Rs 20 crore mark during the IPL 2024 auction, following SunRisers Hyderabad's Rs 20.5 crore bid for Australia captain and star pacer Pat Cummins. Starc, who went into the auction at a base price of Rs 2 crore, attracted bids from Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, but KKR secured his services eventually.
Captain Pat Cummins declared himself delighted at the end of a landmark year for Australian cricket as his 10-wicket haul in the second test win over Pakistan in Melbourne secured his entry into an elite band of bowlers.
Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja lashed out at the team post their 360-run loss to Australia in the first Test of the three-match series. Nathan Lyon took his 500th Test wicket Sunday as Australia dismissed a rattled Pakistan for just 89 to post a thumping 360-run win in the opening Test at Perth. Pakistan's second innings was summed up in 30.2 overs with Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc both claiming three wickets each. Meanwhile, Lyon picked two to rise to 501 Test wickets.
It was a great outing for Australia in the first Test match against Pakistan in Perth on Sunday as the Pat Cummins-led side marched on to a 360-run comprehensive victory. Nathan Lyon picked up his 500th Test wicket as the Australian bowlers made light work of the Pakistan batters and the visitors were bundled out for just 89. It was a clinical showing from the Australian cricketers but there was one light moment that left all of them in splits. A piece of trash entered the field and Australian fielders found it very difficult to catch it due to the wind. Steve Smith finally ended up catching it and his celebration has gone viral on social media.
Iconic Australian spinner Nathan Lyon achieved the significant milestone of 500 wickets in Test cricket during the first Test between Australia and Pakistan in Perth on Sunday. Lyon became the eighth bowler to reach this elite feat, joining the distinguished company of legendary players in the long-format cricket. During the match, Lyon claimed his 500th wicket by dismissing Faheem Ashraf leg-before-wicket for a mere five runs while Australia defended a target of 450. This accomplishment places Lyon alongside his compatriots, the late spin maestro Shane Warne and pace legend Glenn McGrath, who have also achieved the milestone of 500 Test wickets. Australia emerged victorious in the match by 360 runs, and Lyon concluded with combined bowling figures of 5/80 across both innings.
