MELBOURNE : Australia will not decide on the makeup of their attack for the second test against Pakistan until seeing the pitch but their intelligence on Karachi has them leaning toward playing two spinners, interim head coach Andrew McDonald said.
Jhulan Goswami on Wednesday backed teen batting sensation Shafali Verma to overcome her poor form in the ongoing ICC women's World Cup sooner than later, saying that the swashbuckler is hitting the ball quite well during net sessions. Verma was dismissed for a duck in the opening game against Pakistan that Indian won and hasn't exactly done well for the past few games. The 18-year-old's form is expected to be crucial to the team's chances of landing a first ever ICC title.
England by seven runs in a thrilling league-stage encounter of the ICC women's World Cup here on Wednesday, leaving the tournament favourites in a spot of bother. Batting first, the West Indies women, despite an impressive opening stand of 81 between veterans Deandra Dottin (31 off 64 balls) and Hayley Matthews (45 off 58 balls), managed a mediocre 225 for 6 in 50 overs after opting to bat in their second league match. In reply, England nearly pulled through, courtesy a 61-run stand between Sophie Ecclestone (33 no) and Kate Cross (27) for the ninth wicket before being all-out for 218 in 47.4 overs.

Jonny Bairstow could barely keep the grin off his face after spending some five hours at the crease for England under a blazing Caribbean sun on the first day of the first Test against West Indies on Tuesday. In picking up where he left off two months ago in Australia, Bairstow's second century in as many Tests, an unbeaten 109 in Antigua, helped turn the match perhaps slightly in favour of the visitors at stumps. "I am very passionate about playing Test cricket. I am absolutely delighted. It has been a good start to the year and hopefully that can continue," he said.
