In the Mumbai Test, Rishabh Pant’s dismissal during India’s fourth-innings chase has emerged as a possibly game-changing event. India skipper Rohit Sharma is unsure if the DRS’s decision to reverse the on-field umpire’s decision to give him out caught bat-pad was the correct one. With 64 off 57 balls, Pant prevented New Zealand from sweeping the series in a record 3-0 fashion. Prior to his removal, India was 106 for 6, 41 runs short of their objective. In the end, New Zealand prevailed by 25 runs. After the game, Rohit said, “I honestly don’t know about that dismissal.” “Anything we…

“I’ve seen a few things on Twitter asking if I actually exist,” jokes John Turner. This week, fifteen months after his initial call-up and after five England squads, he finally got his debut in Antigua. Brandon King made his debut on Thursday, and Jordan Cox superbly caught his dazzling drive at backward point on Saturday to claim the opening wicket. “I have really enjoyed being involved in the last few months, but now getting the opportunity to actually play is really exciting,” says Turner. “To get your first wicket is really cool and is probably a moment I’ll never forget.”…

With a 1-0 victory on Saturday, Newcastle severely damaged Arsenal’s hopes of winning the Premier League, giving leaders Manchester City the opportunity to pass the Gunners by eight points. In the 12th minute, Alexander Isak headed home Anthony Gordon’s accurate cross from the right to score the game-winning goal.

However, Andoni Iraola’s club pulled off a stunning shock to deny the champs their fifth consecutive championship. With a…

Ravindra Jadeja reached his third ten-wicket haul in Test cricket, taking eight balls in the morning. India was at 147 after New Zealand managed to add three to their overnight lead of 143. South Africa was the only team to successfully pursue a greater target at the Wankhede Stadium, back in 2000. Only eight fourth-inning scores have been higher than the 147 required by India to prevent a first-ever home series annihilation in a three-Test or longer series. New Zealand chose not to roll the pitch, which may settle the pitch for 15 to 20 minutes, at the beginning of…

Given the public attention surrounding the matches against India A, captain Pat Cummins has downplayed the so-called “bat off” for the final slot in Australia’s Test team, but he has pointed out that it does offer a “final piece of information” and aid the player selected in getting ready for the first Test. After missing the September UK tour, Cummins will make his first international appearance since the T20 World Cup in June when he takes against Pakistan in the first ODI of the summer. He spoke at the MCG on Sunday. With the exception of a one-off match in…

At the midway point of their Sheffield Shield encounter against Victoria at Adelaide Oval, Ben Manenti has orchestrated a 4 for 7 collapse to put South Australia in a commanding lead. Before wicketkeeper Sam Harper, who was joined in the middle late in the evening by Peter Siddle, saved his team from humiliation, the offspinner was the main driver of the visitors’ 45-delivery collapse from 59 for 0 to 66 for 4 in the middle session. After Lloyd Pope caught Jonathan Merlo at backward square leg, Manenti bowled Ashley Chandrasinghe and then dismissed Campbell Kellaway with a quick catch at…

Before the last day of India A’s match versus Australia A in Mackay began, there was a dispute over the ball change. The umpire was heard to declare that it had been replaced due to scratches. Before the first delivery of the day, a number of Indian players and umpire Shawn Craig got into a heated argument. Ishan Kishan, the wicketkeeper, probably found himself in hot water after calling the decision to alter the ball “stupid.” In the audio captured by Fox Cricket’s stump mics, Craig explained why they switched the ball, saying, “Scratch it, we change the ball…no more…
