2nd Test: One Of Worst Ways To Get Out, Says Matthew Hayden On Steve Smith's Leg Side Dismissal

Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden has weighed in on the struggles of star batter Steve Smith, who continued his poor run of form in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. On Day 2 of the Pink Ball Test in Adelaide, Smith was dismissed cheaply for the third time in the series, falling to India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah yet again. This time, Smith was strangled down the leg side, a dismissal Hayden labeled as one of the worst ways to get out.

Focus On Batting As Demoralised India Women Look To Avoid ODI Series Defeat Against Australia

A desperate India will need their under-fire batters to step up in the second Women's ODI against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday, as the visitors aim to avoid yet another series loss Down Under. India's batting woes continued as the tourists were bundled out for 100 in the series opener, leading to a demoralising five-wicket defeat, their heaviest in terms of balls remaining since ODIs were reduced to 50 overs a side. India have never won a series Down Under and they will have their task cut out against a quality Australian side, which showed no signs of rust despite playing in the format after a gap of nine months.

It will be a battle of India's formidable batting against Bangladesh's incisive bowling when the two teams clash for the ACC U19 Men's Asia Cup title at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday.

Mohammed Siraj Gets Booed By Australia Fans During 2nd Test, Reason Is A 'Fiery' One. Watch

What is an India vs Australia match without some spice? And the second day of the second Test in Adelaide had it in great measures. Virat Kohli celebrated ecstatically after Marnus Labuschagne got out while there was one contentious DRS call that went against India. But the most talked about incident happened when Mohammed Siraj got centurion Travis Head out. Travis Head smashed a brilliant 140 – his eighth hundred in the format – third on his home ground.

Australia Pacer Josh Hazlewood Offers Fitness Update, Hopes to Play 3rd India Test

Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood offered a fitness update amid the ongoing Adelaide Test against India, saying that his body is feeling good and he has "ticked off a few boxes". He also expressed hope to feature in the third Test of the series at Brisbane, starting from December 14 onwards. Hazlewood's presence is being missed by Australia, who have fielded pacer Scott Boland during the pink-ball Test against India at Adelaide. The pacer, out of action due to a side strain, haunted India in the first Test with a first innings four-wicket haul and while India could score just 180 during their first innings at Adelaide, the presence of Hazlewood could have made the bowling attack more lethal.

"Nice To Have Found My Rhythm": England's Gus Atkinson On Hat-Trick Against New Zealand

Atkinson continued his fine run in Test cricket, registering a hat-trick during the second Test against New Zealand at Wellington on Saturday. Atkinson accomplished this feat against the Kiwis at Wellington, removing Nathan Smith, Matt Henry and Tim Southee in successive deliveries in the 35th over to get them bundled out for just 125 runs.

"He Didn't Have A Mother, Father's Business Was Not Working...": Prithvi Shaw's Back Story Comes To Light

Prithvi Shaw, since not being picked in the IPL 2025 auction, has been in the news. Despite a modest base price of Rs 75 lakh, considering his potential, Shaw found no takers. Since then, Shaw has been in the limelight. For someone who broke domestic cricket records at will during the early stages of his career, Shaw's journey has been a tale of paradoxes. He started his international career with a Test century in 2018 but played only five Tests since then. Though he featured in six ODIs and one T20I, Shaw's career never flourished. Injury and off-form meant that he has for long been not considered for the national team.
