“Like Keeping Your Ferrari Parked In Garage”: Ex-India Selector On Edgbaston Test Playing XI | Cricket News
From being in an advantageous position in the fifth rescheduled Test against England in Edgbaston, the Indian cricket team could not hold their nerve and lost the game by seven wickets. England rode on unbeaten centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to register their highest successful chase in Tests of 378 runs. After the loss, experts have opined that the team composition could have been different. Former Indian cricket team player and ex-national selector Jatin Paranjape said that Ravichandran Ashwin could have been picked in the XI. "I don't think so. You can understand why they picked Bumrah as captain; the powers that be must have thought that Bumrah as a captain is a good choice. Sometimes it is better to err on the side of caution, and that in itself turns out to be a better decision," Jatin Paranjape said in an interview to senior sports journalist Jamie Alter . "I can understand why they played Shardul, because he had done well in the Test match at The … [Read more...] about “Like Keeping Your Ferrari Parked In Garage”: Ex-India Selector On Edgbaston Test Playing XI | Cricket News
“Going To Lose Games…”: Jonny Bairstow’s Interesting Take on England’s “Approach” After Edgbaston Win | Cricket News
Riding on unbeaten tons from Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root , England scripted history as the team pulled off their highest-successful chase in longest format to beat by seven wickets at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Chasing a total of 378, Root and Bairstow's 269-run partnership helped England record their fourth successive chase in Test cricket. The Ben Stokes -led side has been playing some aggressive brand of cricket, termed 'Bazball', since the appointment of Brendon McCullum as head coach of the team. Despite winning their last four Tests while chasing daunting targets, Bairstow feels that while England have been playing a positive brand of cricket, the team might also lose games with their approach. "It is great fun at the moment. The last month has been fantastic for the lads and the smiles on their faces when everyone does well is a massive part of it. I am stripping it back to the basics. The last few years have been tough on me but the last few months have been … [Read more...] about “Going To Lose Games…”: Jonny Bairstow’s Interesting Take on England’s “Approach” After Edgbaston Win | Cricket News
Sunil Gavaskar Weighs In On Edgbaston Pitch After England’s Record Chase | Cricket News
The Indian bowling attack was completely dismantled on day and 5 of the Edgbaston Test as the duo of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow slammed unbeaten centuries to guide England to their highest successful chase in Test cricket as Ben Stokes ' side chased down the 378-run target with 7 wickets in hand. The Indian pacers got no help from the wickets as the England batters made merry on a flat track. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar was asked how this could happen on a pitch where three innings have already been played and whether the heavy roller had a role to play in the pitch offering no help to the Indians bowlers. Gavaskar explained that the Edgbaston pitch has traditionally helped batters as the days progressed. "Well the roller does play a role for the immediate half an hour or so because it flattens the dents or whatever that might be there and there could be quite if you dents if there are fast bowlers who are pounding the ball on the grass. The roller just helps … [Read more...] about Sunil Gavaskar Weighs In On Edgbaston Pitch After England’s Record Chase | Cricket News

Rohit Sharma had missed the rescheduled fifth Test against England after testing positive for COVID-19, but he has now recovered and hence would be leading the side in the first T20I of the three-match series on Thursday in Southampton.

Time To Drop Virat Kohli?
New Delhi: After dominating world cricket for almost a decade, Virat Kohli is going through an ‘unprecedented’ lengthy lean patch, which is hurting Indian cricket badly and there are doubts over star batter’s cricketing career in the longer run. During his impressive career, Kohli has been one of the most consistent all-format batter, who made jaw-dropping chases and found the safest possible way to score plenty of runs.He was absolutely smashing records after records and was a genuine threat to master blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI and 51 Test hundreds. But, things have gone drastically downhill for Kohli in the last two years. The 33-year old Kohli has gone more than 100 innings in all forms of cricket including IPL without scoring a hundred since hitting 136 in Kolkata against Bangladesh in November 2019. The star batter has often got starts but he hasn’t been able to convert them into big scores. He has even gone past fifty several times since that innings in … [Read more...] about Time To Drop Virat Kohli?
‘Bazball’ scales new heights as fearsome England make history with record run chase against India
Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player Highlights from day five of the fifth Test at Edgbaston as England clinched an astonishing seven-wicket win over India Highlights from day five of the fifth Test at Edgbaston as England clinched an astonishing seven-wicket win over India This was supposed to be the chase that proved too tough. Knocking off 277, 299 and 296 in successive matches against New Zealand was one thing but an England-record 378? Against India? Against Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja? Surely logic would trump 'Bazball' this time? "Even the most cynical of curmudgeons will feel evangelical about 'Bazball' if England pull this off," said Sky Sports Cricket's Mark Butcher at lunch on day four at Edgbaston with India already 361 runs to this good.
