With all the talk around the pitch for the fourth and final Test at Ahmedabad, images of the strip that will be used for the 4th Test have emerged on social platforms on the eve of the match. As predicted, the pitch looks to be similar in nature to the one used for the third Test at the same venue a week back. It could be a similar story where the spinners start dominating the game from the first day. Surprisingly, there is a tinge of green on the strip. That patch of green could be shaved off on the morning of the Test. If it stays there, then it could be an interesting toss. The green on the strip could confuse the captains. Yet, it seems like the side winning the toss would like to have the first use of the pitch as it would be best on day one. As the game progresses the cracks could widen and it could make life hell for the batsmen. Here is the first look of the strip that would be used tomorrow: Final #pitchwatch before the fourth #INDvENG Test in #Ahmedabad … … [Read more...] about India vs England 4th Test Pitch Report And First Look of Motera Surface: Batting Beauty or Rank Turner?

New Zealand vs Australia, 3rd T20I: Agar and Maxwell keep visitors’ series hopes alive
Trailing 2-0 in the five-match series after a nail-biting defeat last time out in Dunedin, Australia produced an impressive response in the third T20I. Maxwell smashed 70 from 31 balls with captain Aaron Finch adding 69 as Australia posted 208-4 after losing the toss. Agar took 6-30 as New Zealand slumped to 144 all out in reply, setting up an intriguing fourth match on Friday (March 5). 1 49342 Spin bowler Agar is the first Australia player to record six wickets in a T20 match and only the fourth ever in international cricket. Australia are looking to avoid a third consecutive T20I series defeat following losses to England and India, while the hosts are seeking a third straight triumph. The clash on Wednesday went against that formbook, as well as the trend of this series so far, with Finch's 44-ball knock setting the tone. After Matthew Wade (5) fell early, the skipper - who had not registered a fifty in his previous 26 innings - put on stands of 83 with Josh Philippe … [Read more...] about New Zealand vs Australia, 3rd T20I: Agar and Maxwell keep visitors’ series hopes alive

"IPL has been nothing short of amazing in my career, as well as other players too. My words were never intended to be degrading, insulting, or comparing of any leagues. Social media and words out of context can often do that," Steyn tweeted. "My apologies if this has upset anyone."
