The England litmus test to India’s World Cup readiness
INDIA TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2022 by Kaushik Rangarajan • Last updated on Share Tweet Rohit Sharma has been medically cleared to play the first T20I. © Getty It is the reality of the looming World Cup that India are close to being back at full strength for a T20I series that starts two days after a gruelling Test match. Well almost. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli will be available only from the second game of the series but that aside, the rest of the squad has been hard at work with a sense of urgency that build-ups to bilateral T20Is otherwise lack in non-World Cup years. India, who have played four T20s (vs Ireland, Northamptonshire and Derbyshire) in the last 10 days, have won 13 of the 15 completed T20Is since tumbling out of the group stages of last year's World Cup, most while not fielding their top players. It's a formidable record in a fickle format, one that is representative of both their baseline … [Read more...] about The England litmus test to India’s World Cup readiness
England vs India, Edgbaston Test: India Thought They Would Appear And Things Would Just Happen
As the Edgbaston Test came to an end, giving England a fine win that gave them a 2-2 verdict in the five-Test series, one was left wondering what the result would have been, had India played the final Test of the series last year along with the rest, when they had the momentum. But other things take precedence in Indian cricket, one assumes. Nevertheless, even when the side went into the Edgbaston Test, there seemed to be a little bit of an assumption that all they needed to do was to appear, and things would just happen. Couldn’t have been more wrong, as the Indian team brutally got to know. India lost the Test, or began the process of losing, on Day 3 afternoon, when, in spite of a definite edge in proceedings, the batters just could not translate that into anything close to a challenge. It can’t be that the Indian think tank was not aware of the English batters’ ability to run down scores they made it clear time and again against New Zealand so the need to score really … [Read more...] about England vs India, Edgbaston Test: India Thought They Would Appear And Things Would Just Happen

‘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. "This bowling attack is a level above the New Zealand one England decimated." England ratings: Full marks for relentless run-scorer Jonny … [Read more...] about ‘Bazball’ scales new heights as fearsome England make history with record run chase against India

London: Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant broke into the top-5 of the ICC Test ranking for the first time after scoring a century and fifty in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston, while star batter Virat Kohli dropped three places to 13th after a string of poor performances. Wicketkeeper-batter Pant put India on top early in the Test against England with 146 runs off just 111 balls in the first innings then followed up with 57 later in the match. Pant’s recent form with two tons and three half-centuries in his past six Test innings has earned him a highest-ever position in the Test batting rankings, moving six places to fifth. Virat Kohli, who only managed scores of 11 and 20 against England in rescheduled Edgbaston Test and slipped out of the top-10 in the ICC men’s Test player rankings.

“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
