Birmingham, June 16 (Ians) Australia made a steady start in their first innings after Joe Root’s excellent century steered England to a surprise declaration on an intriguing opening day of the first Ashes 2023 Test, here on Friday.
Root’s unbeaten 118 not out, his 30th century in Test cricket, was the stand-out contribution on a surface that offered little for the bowlers, and was the 32-year-old’s fourth hundred against Australia but his first since 2015. His ton drew him level with Matthew Hayden and Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the all-time list, just three behind Alastair Cook’s England record of 33.
England opted for a first-evening declaration with the score on 393/8 in their first innings after scoring at a rate of more than five-an-over across the day. And Australia’s openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner will resume on 14/0, 379 behind, having survived a tricky mini-session at the end of Friday’s play.

Jamaican rapper Sean Paul is letting his fans in on the little-known history behind his name. Born Sean Paul Ryan Francis Henriques Od, 49, the Jamaican rapper revealed why he took some inspiration for his stage name from Guyanese cricket player Shivnarine Chanderpaul, reports people.com.
“There’s a famous cricketer in Trinidad (named) Shivnarine Chanderpaul. Everybody was like, ‘Sean da Paul,’ and that name stuck,” he explained during a Vice documentary.
Since their names share a similar pronunciation, he adopted the moniker as a staple for much of his music.
He added: “Then I just started to say it in shows and met the dude Chanderpaul years later, and he’s like, ‘Yo!’ But yeah, big up to Shivnarine Chanderpaul.”
After the documentary premiered, which showcased the making of his 2003 hit ‘Get Busy’, he commented about the revelation in a cheeky Twitter post, writing: “If u didnt kno now you kno: big up #Chanderpaul.

Perth, Dec 2 (Ians) Cricket West Indies (Cwi) on Friday announced that they have brought in Shamarh Brooks as a concussion substitute from Nkrumah Bonner in the ongoing first Test against Australia at Perth Stadium.
Bonner had to leave the field on day three of the Test match after having copped a blow on the helmet off all-rounder Cameron Green’s vicious bounce. He was batting at 16 off 47 balls and was involved in a 28-run stand for the second wicket with skipper Kraigg Brathwaite.
“Hopefully he’s Ok. We’re getting word that he’s feeling dizzy. There was that nasty blow from Green, and that’s not a good sight,” Mark Howard said in commentary for broadcasters Fox Cricket.

Perth, Nov 30 (Ians) The West Indies men’s team are wearing black armbands on day one of their first Test against Australia at Optus Stadium in Perth as a tribute to former wicket keeper David Murray, who passed away last week.
Murray, who passed away last week at the age of 72, was the son of West Indies batting great Sir Everton Weekes. He played 19 Tests and 10 ODIs for the West Indies from 1978-82.
Murray’s first tour with the West Indies was in 1973 to England. He made his international debut for the West Indies men’s team at The Oval on September 7, which featured Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, Rohan Kanhai and Clive Lloyd.
His Test debut came in 1978 against Australia in Guyana. He also featured in 114 first-class matches. But in his international career, he mostly remained an understudy to his namesake Deryck Murray and then was usurped by Jeff Dujon in the start of 1980s.

Perth, Nov 29 (Ians) West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite wants his batters to have discipline and bat for the 100 overs in the first Test against Australia, beginning on Wednesday, in order to combat the pacy and bouncy surface at Optus Stadium here.
For the first time since 2016, Australia and West Indies are set to clash in a Test match. The Optus Stadium is set to host the first of the two Test matches in the series and as per the curator Isaac McDonald, the track will provide good pace and bounce.
Both sides have a strong pace attack that could use the conditions to their advantage but it could be how the batters of both teams deal with the pace on the pitch that decides the outcome of the Test.
“We want to bat (for) 100 overs, the main focus is to have discipline. We have batsmen that can get on with it,...

St John’s (Antigua), Nov 1 (Ians) West Indies lead selector and cricketing legend Desmond Haynes believes the opening combination of skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and the uncapped Tagenarine Chanderpaul can pay dividends for West Indies in the two-match Test series against Australia to be played in December this year.
