London, Aug 1 (Ians) Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes that England will get better as a Test team after coming back from 2-0 down to make the series scoreline 2-2 in the recently-concluded Ashes series, while adding that they have started to tweak things along the way.
On Monday at The Oval, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali delivered game-changing spells while Stuart Broad had a fairytale finish to his career by taking the last two wickets to help England beat Australia by 49 runs and make the final series scoreline 2-2.
“If you look at the players they have, I don’t think (Brendon) McCullum (head coach) is asking them do anything other than be themselves. He is saying, ‘go out and trust your way’. This is just the tip of the iceberg, I believe.”
“It is a relatively young team, some of the guys haven’t played a lot of Test cricket – Harry Brook,...

Manchester, July 17 (Ians) Veteran quick James Anderson has replaced fellow pacer Ollie Robinson in England’s playing eleven for the fourth Ashes Test starting at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
Anderson was rested from England’s playing eleven for the third Test at Headingley, where they won by three wickets to keep the series alive. He now comes in for the Manchester Test in place of Robinson, who experienced back issues during the victory at Headingley. The back issues meant Robinson bowled only 11 overs in the first innings and didn’t bowl at all in second innings.
In the ongoing Ashes, Anderson has taken just three wickets at an average of 75.33 in the first two Tests at Edgbaston and Lord’s. He will now have a chance to bowl from the James Anderson End at his home ground Old Trafford, something which was also indicated by skipper Ben Stokes.

Dubai, July 12 (Ians) Australia batter Travis Head has overtaken team-mates Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne to grab a career-best second position in the Icc Men’s Test Player Rankings released on Wednesday.
Head jumped two places and up to second behind New Zealand veteran Kane Williamson on the back of his tremendous Ashes series against England that has already netted him a total of 266 runs at an average of 44.33.

London, July 12 (Ians) Mitchell Starc has expressed his intention to rely on his own strengths throughout the ongoing Ashes 2023 series, rather than attempting to emulate the approach of players like Pat Cummins and altering his own methods.
The 33-year-old took six scalps at Lord’s to lead Australia to a 43-run win. He backed it up with seven wickets in the third Test at Headingley, including a fifer in the second innings.
In Ashes 2019, Starc was mainly overlooked for his high economy rate. He had appeared only at Manchester, where the teams head next in this series, and claimed four wickets in the victory at Old Trafford, but he felt it had a detrimental impact on his game that lingered when he returned home.
“There was a big (focus) on economy rates last time which plenty of guys spoke about throughout the tour, and we all bought into that. And...

London, July 11 (Ians) Former captain Nasser Hussain has expressed his intention to persuade Joe Root to assume the No.3 for England in the ongoing Ashes 2023 series as the hosts face a selection headache when it comes to the spot.
The No. 3 position was filled by Ollie Pope until his Ashes campaign was cut short due to a shoulder injury sustained during the Lord’s Test. In an attempt to find a replacement, the team experimented with Harry Brook in the first innings of the Headingley Test, but the young batter struggled to make an impact.
By the second innings, Brook pushed back down to his usual position at No.5 after England sprung a surprise and sent Moeen Ali in at first drop. However, the decision to promote Moeen didn’t work out as he was dismissed cheaply for five.

London, July 1 (Ians) After setting a stiff target of 371, Australia put in a strong bowling performance to leave England at 114/4 at the close of day four’s play in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s on Saturday.
For England, Ben Duckett (50 not out) and captain Ben Stokes (29 not out) shared an unbroken 69-run stand for the fifth wicket after being reduced to 45/4, as the hosts now need 257 more runs for an improbable win on an exciting day five to level the five-game series.
In what was another enthralling day of Test, England pulled things back with the ball to bowl out Australia for 279 in 101.5 overs, with Stuart Broad the pick of the bowlers with 4/65 in 24.5 overs.

London, June 30 (Ians) Australian bowlers wreaked havoc with the ball in the morning session to take a 91-run lead over England, before a steady showing with the bat, led by Usman Khawaja’s 58 not out on Day 3 helped them strengthen their grip on the second Ashes Test at Lord’s on Friday.

London, June 27 (IANs) Seamer Josh Tongue will mark his Ashes debut as he has been included in England’s XI for the second Test at Lord’s, starting on Wednesday, after Moeen Ali missed out following the finger injury he sustained during the first Test.
Tongue made his Test debut against Ireland at Lord’s earlier this month, claiming 5-66 in the second innings. His inclusion in the only change from the team that lost the first Test at Edgbaston by two wickets.
Moeen suffered a blistered finger during the opening match of the series, which Australia clinched by two wickets in a thrilling contest that went deep into the final day.
The off-spinner’s exclusion means Joe Root will be the primary spin option available at Ben Stokes’ disposal. Root bowled 22 overs in the first Test, and managed to take one wicket with his off-break deliveries.

London, June 23 (Ians) Leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed has been added to the England squad as a cover for Moeen Ali for the second Men’s Ashes Test against Australia to be held at Lords from June 28, the England and Wales Cricket Board (Ecb) said on Friday.
Ali returned to Test cricket after retiring from the format in 2021, due to lead spinner Jack Leach suffering a stress fracture to his back. But Ali also suffered an injury to his spinning finger while playing in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
With a big blister on his spinning finger after bowling many overs on the trot in first innings, Ali couldn’t bowl significant overs in the second innings, which resulted in England losing in a dramatic fashion by two wickets to Australia.
The 18-year old Ahmed made his Test debut in the final Test against Pakistan in Karachi last winter and picked a five-wicket haul.

Birmingham, June 18 (Ians) Opener Usman Khawaja hit his seventh Test century since being recalled by Australia to lead a solid effort on day two of the first Ashes Test against England at Edgbaston.
Khawaja’s brilliant unbeaten 126, his 15th career century but his first in Tests in England, and his vital partnerships with Travis Head (50) and Alex Carey (52 not out) helped Australia finish the day on 311/5, trailing by 82 with five wickets remaining.
Khawaja’s record since returning in the Sydney Test against the same opponents back in January of 2022 has been phenomenal.
The left-hander has hit tons in India and Pakistan in that time, as well as reaching triple figures at home against South Africa and England. But his record in English conditions had been poor before this outstanding knock in Birmingham.
Khawaja has now scored 1747 runs in the 31 innings since his return to the Australian fold, averaging an extraordinary 69.88 in that time.

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.

Lyon is likely to be on the receiving end of some aggressive batting tactics in the Ashes. He finished the last cycle of the World Test Championship as its leading wicket-taker with 88 scalps.
But the 35-year-old’s record won’t stop England from going after him with their new aggressive style of play called ‘Bazball’.
“If he bowls a good ball then I’m going to respect it. But other than that, I’m going to try and take him on. He could get a lot of wickets, but hopefully, we’re going to hit him for a lot of runs,” Brook was quoted by the Icc website.

London, June 3 (Ians) Fast bowler Josh Tongue has retained his place as England named an unchanged 16-member squad, which is playing the ongoing match against Ireland, for the first two Ashes Tests against Australia.
Tongue was a late addition to England’s squad to face Ireland in the one-off Test at Lord’s after fellow pacers Ollie Robinson and James Anderson picked up ankle and groin niggles respectively in the County Championship, and has been among the wickets in the ongoing match. The performance at Lord’s has led to him now being named in England’s squad for the first two Ashes matches.
Though Robinson and Anderson missed out on featuring in the Ireland Test due to the niggles, they are expected to be fit in time for the opening Ashes Test. It also means that wicketkeeper-batter Ben Foakes will not feature in the opening two matches of the highly-anticipated series.

However, things went downhill for Srh in the death overs as they lost their way, managing to score only 43/4 in the last five overs.
Mumbai Indians medium pacer Akash Madhwal bowled an eventful 19th over in which he bowled a no-ball but ended it in a flourish by castling Henrich Klassen (13) and Harry Brook (0) off successive deliveries. He will be on a hat-trick if Mumbai Indians manage to reach the Playoffs.

Mumbai, May 21 (Ians) Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in what is a must-win encounter for the hosts in their last preliminary league match in the Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium, here on Sunday afternoon.
Mumbai Indians need to win this match by a big margin and hope that Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) either lose their match or have a no-result in their encounter with Gujarat Titans in Bangalore in the second match of the day.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma said the conditions and nature of the pitch prompted him to opt to field first. He said his team is not worrying too much about the Playoffs spot and is concentrating on playing well.
“(Going by) Just the nature of the pitch and because we’re comfortable chasing. The pitch is a bit dry, it’ll get easier to bat as the sun sets.

With some of the biggest names in cricket battling it out, fans are being treated to a showcase of skill and talent. However, as with any competition, there are always teams that fail to live up to the expectations.
Three teams — Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings — have been eliminated from the playoff race. Capitals were the first team to be eliminated, followed by Sunrisers and Punjab Kings.
Why did Delhi fail?
Delhi Capitals have arguably been one of the worst teams in the competition this season, finishing their campaign with just 10 points from 14 matches.
The team’s internal struggles in finalising their starting lineup, coupled with underperforming key players, have contributed to their early elimination from the competition, making them effectively the first team to be knocked out.
DC’s batting line-up consists of high-quality top-order batsmen such as David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Phil Salt and Rilee Rossouw.

To be fair to players, it’s the auction dynamics — demand and supply — which often dictates the amount. Players have no control on the amount for which they are signed at the auction except finalising their base price.
However, once the auction is done and dusted, these professionals should ideally accept the reality and concentrate on producing match-winning performances for their franchise. But Ipl history suggests that more often than not, players with big price tags couldn’t deliver as per expectations and same has been the case in the ongoing Ipl 2023 season.
The Ipl franchise spent big money on the likes of Sam Curran, Cameron Green, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal but their performances have been ordinary.

Put in to bat first, Sunrisers Hyderabad were off to a slow start as Rcb pacers Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell kept the openers — Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi — on a tight leash.
Srh got some momentum in Parnell’s second over with the openers hitting the pacer for 16 runs. However, New Zealand spinner Michael Bracewell dismissed both openers in his first over to put a halt to the scoring rate.

“We are gonna have a bowl. The last two nights we have had some dew. Good surface but touch on the slower side. Same team as the last game. Hasaranga has a niggle. Bracewell strengthens our batting.

New Delhi, May 17 (Ians) Former England captain Michael Atherton believes picking Jonny Bairstow over Ben Foakes is the right call taken by the Test team think-tank for the one-off Test against Ireland and possibly, for the highly-anticipated Ashes.
Bairstow has been out of cricketing action for England since September last year after breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle in a freak incident at a golf course. In his absence, Foakes impressed as a wicketkeeper-batter in England’s away Test series in Pakistan and New Zealand.
With young batter Harry Brook scoring 809 runs in 10 Test innings, including four centuries at an average of 80.9 and making himself undroppable, England’s selectors chose Bairstow, who scored four centuries in five Test innings last year against New Zealand and India, over Foakes.
“I think it is the right call and I think that is the minority view from testing the water on social media.

Jaipur, May 7 (Ians) England batter Joe Root was handed his Indian Premier League (Ipl) debut as Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in an Ipl 2023 match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Sunday.
The pitch for Sunday’s match is the one used in Friday’s game, where Rajasthan were handed a nine-wicket thrashing by defending champions Gujarat Titans. Both Rajasthan and Hyderabad are coming off four losses in their last five matches of the competition and need a victory to get their campaign back on track.
After winning the toss, Samson said apart from Root’s debut, the team is dealing with a few injury issues. Trent Boult is not in the playing eleven, with Rajasthan fielding three spinners — Ravichandran Ashwin, Murugan Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
“Conditions also demand the same. Climate has been different. Not much dew in the latter half.

Hyderabad, May 4 (Ians) With the race for the playoffs heating up, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana feels that for his team, there is now nothing to lose but many things to gain and their approach will be to take up one match at a time to tackle various scenarios.
Kolkata are currently in eighth place in the points table, with six points from nine matches. Thursday will see them face Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to set up a chance for a late comeback in the battle for playoffs.
“Now I am looking at the tournament in a way where we have nothing to lose, but many things to gain. If we move ahead game by game, then it is better for us than thinking about what will happen after five games,” said Rana in a video posted by the franchise on their social media handles.

New Delhi, April 30 (Ians) After Sunrisers Hyderabad ended their three-match losing streak in Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 with a nine-run win over Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, batting coach Hemang Badani stated that the time Heinrich Klaasen and Abdul Samad were at the crease, the message sent to the duo was to look for a boundary in every over.
At the halfway stage, Hyderabad were 83/4, despite amassing 62/2 in Power-play. But Klassen made an unbeaten 53 off 27 balls while sharing a 53-run standoff 33 balls with Samad, who made 28 off 21 balls, as the 2016 Ipl champions took 62 runs off the last five overs to post an imposing 197/6, enough to grab two points.
“The message was quite clear — in this format, you have to keep striking. The message was to keep looking at a boundary and an over, keep looking at probably about 8 (runs) an over at that point maybe for the next 2-3 overs.

New Delhi, April 25 (Ians) Former India batter Wasim Jaffer has questioned the utilisation of Umran Malik by Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh). He stated that if the team think tank doesn’t have enough belief in Malik’s bowling abilities, they would be better off adding a batter to the team.
Malik bowled only two overs in the match against Delhi Capitals (DC) on Monday. He conceded 14 runs and went wicketless. The fast bowler picked up five wickets in six matches so far and hasn’t bowled his full quota of 4 overs in most of the games.
The capitals were struggling at 62/5. Then, Axar Patel struck a crucial run-a-ball 34 and with help from Manish Pandey (34 off 28) propelled DC to a below-par 144/9 in 20 overs.

Srh opener Mayank Agarwal had put his team in a position of strength, hitting 49, but got out trying to lift Patel out of the park.

Hyderabad, April 25 (Ians) Brilliant all-round effort by Axar Patel helped Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad, for whom Washington Sunder was equally good with both bat and ball, in Match 34 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday.
Axar Patel came in to bat with Delhi Capitals struggling at 62/5 and struck a crucial run-a-ball 34 and with help from seasoned Manish Pandey (34 off 28) propelled Delhi Capitals to a below-par 144/9 in 20 overs after skipper David Warner had won the toss and elected to bat first.
Axar starred with the ball too as he claimed 2-21 in his four overs and along with fellow-spinner Kuldeep Yadav (1-22), Anrich Nortje (2-33) and Ishant Sharma (1-18) applied the screws on the Sunrisers Hyderabad batters in their chase of what looked like a below-par score. He claimed the crucial wickets of Mayank Agarwal and Aiden Markram as they dried up the runs in the middle overs.

Hyderabad, April 24 (Ians) Delhi Capitals came up with a brilliant bowling effort to squeeze out a 7-run win against Sunrisers Hyderabad, negating some brilliant late-order batting by Heinrich Klaasen and Washington Sundar in Match 34 of Ipl 2023 here on Monday.
It was a superb bowling effort by the Delhi Capitals bowlers as Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje and Ishant Sharma applied the squeeze as they throttled the Sunrisers Hyderabad innings in a low-scoring encounter.
Washington Sundar had claimed 3-28 and three batters were run-out as Delhi Capitals were restricted to 144/9 in 20 overs. Though it looked like they had fallen 20 runs short, in the end, it proved enough thanks to the brilliant effort put up by the DC bowlers.
After Mayank Agarwal (49) had maintained the Sunrisers’ chances with a crucial knock, Heinrich Klaasen and Sundar revived their chances after a middle-order wobble. Thanks to their efforts, Sunrisers Hyderabad needed 38 runs off...

Hyderabad, April 24 (Ians) Off-spinner Washington Sundar claimed three wickets in an over as Sunrisers Hyderabad rode on clinical bowling and fielding to restrict Delhi Capitals to 133/9 in 20 overs in Match 34 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) here on Monday.
Sundar got the wickets of DC skipper David Warner (21), Sarfaraz Khan (10) and Aman Hakim Khan (4) within six balls as Delhi Capitals slumped to 62/5 after electing to bat first on winning the toss.
Manish Pandey (34 off 27) and Axar Patel (34 off 34) revived the innings a bit but Delhi Capitals lost wickets in a heap again as they ended up with a below-par score at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here.
While Sundar claimed 3-28 off his four overs, experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar was at his miserly best with 2-11 in four overs. Sunrisers also affected three run-outs in all as they restricted Delhi to a small total.

Hyderabad, April 24 (Ians) Opener Prithvi Shaw was dropped as Delhi Capitals skipper David Warner won the toss and elected to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 34 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium here on Monday.
With Delhi Capitals having opened their account in Ipl 2023, Warner said they are looking forward to winnings a few more games.
Warner said that Prithvi Shaw, who has been struggling for form, has been left out with fellow-Mumbai Ranji player Sarfaraz Khan coming into the playing XI. Ripal Patel made it to the playing XI at the expense of Lalit Yadav.
“We will bat first. Looks like a nice surface to bat on, has a nice even sheen to it. If you set a decent total, you can defend it for sure. It’s about being consistent here. We got to start well in the first 6 overs with bat and ball as well.

Chennai, April 22 (Ians) After being outplayed by Chennai Super Kings by seven wickets at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium on Friday, Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Brian Lara indicated their new-look opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Harry Brook is what the team will be fielding in upcoming games.
In six games of Ipl 2023, Hyderabad have fielded four opening combinations, with the Brook-Sharma one the latest addition on Friday. The experiment meant regular opener Mayank Agarwal was pushed to an unfamiliar number six position, as the new opening combination put 35 runs on board before Brook fell in the fifth over.
“Obviously, the experiment of trying to get Harry Brook up the order produced a 100. If you were saying what team would you have at the beginning of the tournament, if we had a fit Abhishek, it would be Abhishek and Mayank Agarwal. But Harry Brook has given the innings some impetus...

Chennai, April 21 (Ians) Brilliant bowling performances led by Ravindra Jadeja’s impressive 3/22 helped Chennai Super Kings (Csk) restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 134/7 in an Ipl 2023 match at Ma Chidambaram Stadium, here on Friday.
Csk bowlers were at their best as they didn’t let Srh batters pace up the innings. After a modest start in the powerplay, Srh scored 57 runs in the middle overs with just four boundaries and a maximum and also lost four wickets in quick succession, getting reduced to 102/5 after 15 overs.
Put into bat first, Srh were off to a modest start with 13 runs coming off the first two overs. However, the opening duo of Abhishek Sharma And Harry Brook then went for few boundaries.
Akash Singh bowled a brilliant fifth over, giving away just one run and claiming the big wicket of Brook. With 10 runs from the sixth over, Srh posted 45/1 in the powerplay. In the next four overs post-powerplay,...

Chennai, April 21 (Ians) Chennai Super Kings (Csk) won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh) in an Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 match at Ma Chidambaram Stadium, here on Friday.
Both sides remained unchanged for this game.
“This pitch is 50-50 because it is slightly cloudy. There might be dew so it is always better to chase. All packed together on the points table, we need to do well and not look at the table at this moment. Combination-wise, we have been fortunate because we haven’t had all players available. The headaches start later when everyone becomes available,” Csk skipper Ms Dhoni said at the toss.
Srh captain Aiden Markram said there will be the same 16 but since they are batting first here, there will be a change to the XI.
“We had a good game against Kkr batting first, so hopefully we can take a leaf out of that.

Hyderabad, April 19 (Ians) After losing to five-time champions Mumbai Indians in their Ipl 2023 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Tuesday, Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Brian Lara admitted that the side is still looking around for a batter in their middle-order who can finish matches like the way Rahul Tewatia and David Miller do.
In chasing 193, Hyderabad had contributions from Mayank Agarwal, captain Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen. But none of the trio could stay long to score big. Though Marco Jansen and Washington Sundar played some good cameos, they weren’t enough for Hyderabad to win the match and are now at ninth place in the points table.
“It’s a work in progress. We need to have guys who are thinking the game throughout right till the end. There are some great examples in the Ipl. (Rahul) Tewatia, (David) Miller, we do need that sort of person...
