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.
Bexley are the Kent League Premier Division frontrunners after they narrowly won away to fourth-placed St Lawrence & Highland Court on Saturday.
The former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Khalid Mahmood has hit out at the government's decision to form a high-level committee to decide on the national cricket team's participation in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Mahmood, in whose tenure Pakistan made a full tour of India in 1999 and who himself visited the neighbouring country in 1989 as manager of the junior team, said it made no sense to form this committee. "The interesting thing is that no representative of the main stakeholder, the Pakistan Cricket Board is on the committee," Mahmood said in an interview.
Ingnored for the upcoming five-match T20I series against West Indies, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Rinku Singh provided some artificial excitement in the ongoing Duleep Trophy, slamming a 30-ball 40 for Central Zone in the semi-final against West Zone. Rinku took the West Zone bowlers to cleaners in the last hour before lunch. Target was bordering on impossible, but Rinku, who had hammered 5 consecutive sixes for Kolkata Knight Riders against Yash Dayal of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023, would have none of it.
Mitchell Starc outplayed Moeen Ali with a ripper during England's fourth innings of the third Ashes Test on Sunday. In their chase of 251, England ended Day 3 at the score of 27 without loss at Headingley in Leeds. On the following day, Mitchell Starc dismissed Ben Duckett to provide Australia with the first breakthrough at the score of 42. England sent Moeen at the number three position but the plan didn't work as Starc sent the batter packing at his individual score of 5.
Legendary Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar was not pleased with Rohit Sharma's captaincy and said that he expected more from him. Since Rohit replaced Kohli as the India skipper, the national team has failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup final and has also lost to Australia in the World Test Championship (WTC) final. In a recent interaction, Gavaskar raised questions over Rohit's captaincy and said that he has not done justice to his reputation as the joint-most successful captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL) where he has won five titles with Mumbai Indians.
David Warner's hopes of choosing the manner of his retirement from international cricket have dimmed after the Australian opener's twin failures in the defeat by England at Headingley and Mitchell Marsh's successful return to the side.
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, also known by the nicknames 'Sunny' and 'Little Master', is doubtlessly among the greatest Indian cricketers to have graced the gentleman's game. The diminutive opener, who burst into the cricketing spotlight in his debut Test series overseas against the mighty West Indies, fronting up to the fiery Caribbean quicks, broke numerous batting records while setting new ones over the course of a spectacular career, turned 74 on Monday. Several of his historic and heroic innings in cricket's longest and, arguably, the toughest format, came between 1971 and 1987.
