Australia's David Warner Ready For Hostile New Zealand Fans In T20s

Australia batting great David Warner on Monday said he expected a hostile reception when the world champions begin a T20 series in New Zealand this week. New Zealand host Australia in Wellington on Wednesday in the first of three T20 matches before a two-Test series. Warner eight years ago accused New Zealand fans of "derogatory and vulgar" abuse aimed at him and his team-mates during Australia's last Test tour in 2016. The 37-year-old, who stepped down from Test cricket in January, is expecting more barracking from Black Caps fans during the series, which moves to Auckland for the second and third matches on Friday and Sunday.

"Ball Clearly Missing Stumps": Ben Stokes' Bold DRS Verdict After England's 434-Run Loss In Rajkot

England captain Ben Stokes isn't a happy man, having seen his side suffer one of its biggest defeats in the history of the game. As India came out on top in the third Test at Rajkot, securing a 434-run victory to go 2-1 up in the 5-match series, Stokes was left to rue some dubious LBW calls that left him and head coach Brendon McCullum bemused. The "umpire's call" in the DRS system is a factor that has been debated around for a long time, with several cricketing personalities wanting the ICC to do away with it. Stokes, citing the example of Zak Crawley's LBW dismissal in the second innings to Jasprit Bumrah, suggested the same and even had a chat with the technology maker's people to understand the scope of the error.

India registered their biggest-ever Test win on Sunday, hammering England by 434 runs. Chasing an improbable total of 557, England were bowled out for 122 in their second innings. Before England's batting collapse on Day 4, Vaughan said that England's 'Bazball' approach has been exposed on Indian conditions.
