Watch: When Virat Kohli Sledged 'Big Mouth' Ollie Robinson, Mohammed Siraj Followed Up With Nasty Bouncer
England pacer Ollie Robinson has been a constant subject of chatter on social media ever since the Ashes 2023 started. His on-field duels with Usman Khawaja were well documented. Some of the words he used on the field for the Australia batter earned him plenty of flak. But, it isn't the first time Robinson is being a 'big mouth' on the field. Even during India's tour of England in 2021, the seamer had drawn flak for his antics on the field. The then-India skipper Virat Kohli even got into a verbal duel with Robinson, and fair to say that Kohli emerged victorious.

England won a number of fans with their ‘Bazball' approach to cricket but it was not enough against Australia as they were beaten by two wickets in the first Ashes Test in Edgbaston. Even the decision by England skipper Ben Stokes to declare the first innings towards the end of Day 1 was met with a lot of criticism.

Watch: West Indies Star's Smart Boundary Line Catch In ICC World Cup Qualifiers 2023
West Indies' star player Keacy Carty took a superb boundary line catch during his team's World Cup Qualifiers match against Nepal at Harare Sports Club, Harare on Thursday. On the first ball of the 23rd over that was being bowled by Akeal Hosein, Nepal batter Kushal Malla tried to go for a big one. The ball travelled towards the long-on where substitute fielder Carty was stationed. The fielder took the catch and lobbed it in air just before he jumped over the boundary rope to balance his body. The ball would have fallen outside the playing area for a six but Carty made a really good adjustment to turn it into a catch.

"My Dream Is Now In Front Of Me": Mukesh Kumar On Test Selection
For someone who has come through the grind and lost many battles, including when his father died of a brain haemorrhage, in his journey to become a cricketer, Mukesh Kumar knows well what it takes to be selected for the Indian Test team. "Kehte hai na agar aap Test nahin khele toh kya khele... (Like they say, what have you done if you didn't play Tests)," the fiesty Bengal pacer told PTI after being selected in the Test and ODI squads for the upcoming tour of the West Indies. "My dream is now in front of me. I always wanted to be here -- to play Tests for India. And, I've finally arrived." What now flashes through his mind is a myriad of memories from his village Kankar Kund in the remote Gopalganj district of Bihar to sleeping in the dormitory at Eden Gardens in Kolkata where he had first come in 2012 to help his father in his taxi business.
