MANCHESTER, England :England spinner Moeen Ali struck late in the afternoon session to remove Marnus Labuschagne and leave Australia on 187-4 at tea on day one of the fourth Ashes test on Wednesday, ensuring another tantalising clash is finely poised.
MANCHESTER, England : Steve Smith helped Australia overcome a shaky start to recover to 107-2 at lunch on day one of the fourth Ashes test on Wednesday, after England had made early inroads at Old Trafford.
The ongoing Ashes Test series has been filled with controversies but the most hilarious one involved Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey and a haircut. During the third Test at Headingley, former England skipper Alastair Cook claimed that Carey went for a haircut in London but did not pay the barber for his services. The story was even carried by the English tabloid The Sun resulting in a strong response from the Australian cricket team. Teammate Steve Smith was left fuming by the reports and he went on record to slam the publication for their reporting on the issue.
Following a thriller of a men's Wimbledon final that saw 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz emerge victorious over 23-time major title winner Novak Djokovic, cricketers took to social media to congratulate the Spanish star on his win and express their awe for the match, which lasted up to five sets. The 20-year-old Carlos Alcaraz produced a masterful comeback performance against seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to win the men's singles final match 1-6, 7-6(6), 6-1, 3-6, 6-4, at the Centre Court on Sunday to clinch Wimbledon 2023 crown and his second Grand Slam title.
Steve Smith had the last laugh in his newly evoked rivalry on Day 4 of the third Test of the Ashes 2023 series at Headingley Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Australia and England's encounter at Headingley have never disappointed in the entertainment aspect and even this time it lived up to the expectations. On Day 2 of the highly engaging third Test, Jonny Bairstow took a slight dig at Australia's Steve Smith after his dismissal.
A rather bizarre claim was made during the third Ashes Test between England and Australia, with the hosts' former skipper Alastair Cook suggesting Aussie wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey didn't pay a barber after getting a haircut. Cook's claims went viral, and the subject became a huge talking point, with Australia star Steve Smith also getting into the debate and suggesting that the stumper didn't even get a haircut. After Cook's claims turned out to be false, he issued an apology, saying it was probably a case of mistaken identity.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra recently gave his take on 'Fab 4', a term used for the group of top-batters of Test cricket in the current generation. 'Fab 4' features the likes of Australia opener Steve Smith, former England skipper Joe Root, New Zealand batter Kane Williamson, and star India batter Virat Kohli. Since 2020, there has been a dip in Kohli's performance as he has been able to get only one century in the longest format. Chopra stated that looking at the current situation, Kohli should not be named in 'Fab 4'.
Star Australia batter Steve Smith is furious with a report in a British tabloid that his teammate Alex Carey did not pay the barber after a haircut at a shop in Leeds. The Sun carried the report. However, Smith wrote on his Threads account: "I can confirm that Alex Carey has not had a haircut since we were in London. Get your facts right The Sun." Since Jonny Bairtsow's controversial dismissal in the second Ashes Test, things have taken a wrong turn for the two sides. The Australia side was heavily booed by the Leeds crowd during the third Test.
