Michigan State got the best of Ohio State in a 71-67 battle Thursday, but Spartans head coach Tom Izzo stands by the No. 4 Buckeyes as a No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament. After a third straight win — and second against a top-five team, following the 81-72 victory versus Illinois two days earlier — Izzo explained why MSU's result says more about the Big Ten than OSU. "And I will say this, I love Ohio State's team," Izzo said . "I think (Buckeyes head coach) Chris (Holtmann) has done as good of a job as anybody in this league when you look at what he has and the size. Boy, I'll tell you, he's got a couple guys. (OSU sophomore forward E.J.) Liddell — he's a man, I really enjoy him. (Junior point guard Duane) Washington is really good and (junior forward Justin) Ahrens has been so good. They've got a lot of very, very, very good players that aren't maybe superstars but you talk about a connected group. It's fun to be down on the floor and listen to them talk.

Following the Motera horror show, the English team has faced immense backlash, and former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin is the latest to take a jibe at the tourists. Azharuddin said it was not pleasant to see batsmen “come a cropper” in the third Test between India and England in Ahmedabad, which ended in a 10-wicket win for India on Thursday. Taking to Twitter, a day after India’s win Azhar said that the English batsmen could have used rubber soles rather than opting for spikes on the Motera strip. The former India skipper also pointed out that batsmen in the past like Sunil Gavaskar have succeeded in playing with rubber soles. He tweeted: “It was disappointing to watch the batsmen come a cropper in the Ahmedabad Test.The key to batting on such dry tracks and rank turners is shot-selection and assured footwork. It makes little sense to wear spikes when batting. Rubber soles don’t hamper the ability of batsmen.” His second tweet: “I have seen some amazing Test knocks being … [Read more...] about India vs England: Mohammed Azharuddin Slams English Batsmen For Wearing Spikes on Motera Pitch

PSL 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Rizwan led the chase with a 76. © AFP Led by half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan and Shoaib Maqsood, Multan Sultans registered their first win of PSL 2021, beating Lahore Qalandars by 7 wickets. The duo stitched a 110-run stand for the third wicket to help their side ease past the 158-run target in only 16.2 overs. Put in to bat, Lahore lost their openers - Fakhar Zaman and Sohail Akhtar - early, which included a maiden-wicket over in the powerplay by Carlos Brathwaite. However, the in-form Mohammad Hafeez, yet again, bailed the team out from a precarious position, this time in company of Joe Denly. The duo put on an 89-run stand in only 9.1 overs, with Hafeez playing the aggressor. However, a couple of quick strikes, followed by Hafeez's run out on a 35-ball 60 further dented their innings. Samit Patel couldn't push the pace in the death overs, but his unbeaten … [Read more...] about Rizwan, Maqsood star as Multan Sultans pick up first win

Pep Guardiola's men are 10 points clear at the summit and two of their players feature among our Opta-fuelled fantasy picks, along with a couple of Everton men on the back of last week's long-awaited derby win at Liverpool. Manchester United, Tottenham and Leicester City players are also selected ahead of games against Chelsea, Burnley and Arsenal respectively. EDERSON There are many factors behind the leaders' winning run - not least an incredible defensive record, with goalkeeper Ederson more than playing his part. The Brazil international has kept 15 clean sheets from 24 Premier League games this term, averaging one every 1.6 matches. Only two keepers to have played at least 10 times have averaged fewer games per clean sheet across an entire season - Chelsea's Petr Cech (24 in 35 apps in 2004-05) and former Manchester United stopper Edwin van der Sar (21 in 33 apps in 2008-09). 24 - Manchester City have kept 24 clean sheets in all competitions this season - one more … [Read more...] about Premier League Fantasy Picks: Rashford, Kane and Vardy backed to shine
