Richarlison joining Spurs might not be the most comforting news for those of a Chelsea persuasion. Antonio Conte is getting the signings he craves ahead of an important season where even lofty shouts of a title bid are being sounded from North London, which is never good.
Former India head Ravi Shastri was on Friday disappointed with the way India opener Shubman Gill was dismissed on day 1 of the Edgbaston Test against England. Shubman was dismissed for 17 by James Anderson as the young batter edged one to the slips after a decent start. Gill has played decent knocks in the past but is yet to score a Test hundred. He has often lost his wicket after being set and that is something Shastri is not happy with.
Team India opted to go in with four seamers and one spinner for the ongoing Edgbaston Test against England. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur are the four pace bowling options while Ravindra Jadeja has been chosen as the lone spinner. Former England captain Michael Vaughan reacted to Ravichandran Ashwin's omission from the playing XI and labelled the move as "ridiculous".
Arguably, there is no better sight in cricket than a fast bowler in full flow in his run-up, running into bowl, hitting the straps, with the crowd behind him, cheering in anticipation, the pace increasing as he nears the bowling crease, the final jump, the landing with the thighs, shins and ankles taking the weight of the body, the twisting of the shoulders, the forearms and the wrists coming into play before the final release of the ball at great speed. All this takes a toll on the body of course and if the pacer is overworked, careless or unfit, it can lead to injuries and a potential exit from the team. Perhaps this is one reason fast bowlers are not 'burdened' with captaincy.
Proteas skipper Sune Luus is proud of her side as they fought for a draw in the weather-affected sole Test against England in Taunton on Thursday.
The India vs England 5th Test is about to get underway at Edgbaston in Birmingham and the tourists have been put in to bat by skipper Ben Stokes after winning the toss. India have gone in with a 4-man pace attack with Shardul Thakur playing as the fast bowling all-rounder. In a big decision India have decided leave out Ravichandran Ashwin as they have picked Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI.
Australia completed a comprehensive victory over Sri Lanka in the first Test match at Galle by 10 wickets to further cement their place at the top of the World Test Championship table. The victory was a result of yet another poor batting performance by the hosts, who were dismissed for just 113 in the second innings. Travis Head was the best bowler for Australia as he picked up 4 wickets within 3 overs. Nathan Lyon also picked up 4 wickets in the second innings to finish the match with 9 wickets.
