Finch: Marsh and Smith’s form are good signs for Australia

–Fixtures | Squads | Points table | Tournament IndexTop Story: Marsh’s 177* powers Australia to seventh straight winAustralia’s aversion to chasing has disappeared ahead of a semi-final with old foes South Africa after a statement innings of 177 not out from Mitchell Marsh at No.3 helped his side cruise to their second-successive record World Cup chase against Bangladesh in Pune, running down 307 with eight wickets and 32 balls to spare.Marsh made his highest ODI score and his first century at first drop, thumping 177 off 132 balls with 17 fours and nine sixes in brutal fashion.Australia had only chased more than 300 once in the last four years, but the rejigged batting line-up finally clicked with Steven Smith making an untroubled, unbeaten 63 at No.4 and sharing in a 175-run stand to guide Australia to their seventh straight win of the tournament.Click here to read the full reportMatch analysis: Marsh owns the No. 3 spot with monstrous hittingAustralia head into the semi-finals high on confidence•Getty Images

Australia’s World Cup campaign has resembled a balls-in-a-maze puzzle. From catches going down in the first two matches, to Steven Smith having to adjust to a new role, to his vertigo, to Glenn Maxwell’s concussion on a golf course, Australia just haven’t been able to get all the balls in the innermost circle.One concern must have been how Mitchell Marsh, a big part of their plan to frontload their batting, didn’t quite respond immediately to moving down to No. 3 midway in the tournament. Against Bangladesh, in the final league match of the tournament, Marsh ticked that box with an innings full of power and intent that must sound a warning bugle for their opponents in the coming week.Read the full piece from Sid MongaMatch report: Stokes and Willey fashion a last hurrah for EnglandFifty six of Ben Stokes’ 84 runs came in boundaries•ICC/Getty Images

England’s soon-to-be-deposed world champions bade farewell to the 2023 World Cup with a glimpse of their former domineering selves, as they marched to an emphatic 93-run win over Pakistan at Eden Gardens. The result means that Babar Azam’s men are officially out of semi-final contention.David Willey marked the final appearance of his international career with a sparky all-round display that included his 100th and final ODI wicket, and after Ben Stokes had underpinned an imposing total of 337 for 9 with his second forceful outing in quick succession, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid turned the screw on a spin-friendly surface to snuff out any pretence of a contest with four wickets between them.Must Watch: Steve Harmison on Jos Buttler2:12

Dravid: Shreyas’ temperament stands out under pressure

They’ve been occasionally tested, but otherwise, India’s World Cup run has been nothing short of magical. Now on the day of the auspicious Indian festival of Diwali, they have a chance to gift their fans another dose of entertainment, and even though we know that anything can happen in sport, a defeat for the hosts is extremely unlikely.That’s because India have been absolutely dominant during their 8-0 run at this World Cup. Coming into their final league game, they face the least-fancied team of the tournament, Netherlands, even if they have performed better than expected.

Após tentar reverter a liminar, o Avaí informou que, na noite desta sexta-feira, pordecisão do Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD), a partida deste domingo (16), diante do Fluminense, será realizada com portões fechados. O clube catarinense tentou todos os meios de reverter a punição, mas não conseguiu.

Durante o dia, o presidente do Leão da Ilha, Júlio César Heerdt, e o presidente da Federação Catarinense de Futebol (FCF), Rubens Angelotti, estiveram presentes na Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) para tentar reverter tal decisão, mas não obtiveram o resultado esperado.

Entenda o caso do corte nos cabos do VAR

Depois do Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD) decretar que o jogo entre Avaí e Fluminense seria com os portões fechados, os catarinense entraram com pedido para que a punição seja apenas na próxima rodada em casa. Com isso, iniciou a venda de ingressos na quinta, mas logo suspendeu.

Vale destacar que a acusação (por meio de uma liminar) é em virtude de cabos do VAR que foram cortados durante o confronto com o Atlético-GO. No entanto, o julgamento seria realizado na sexta-feira, dia 14, e os catarinenses fizeram o pedido para que os portões fossem abertos.

De acordo com o STJD, nada mudou e a liminar para o jogo com portões fechados continua valendo. No entanto, o clube catarinense trabalhou com a ideia de tentar reverter e utilizou uma argumentação pautada no Regulamento Geral de Competições (RGC).

O Avaí foi pautado no artigo 64, Parágrafo 3º, do RGC, que cita que a punição a um clube brasileiro só poderá ser executada após dez dias decorridos do recebimento de comunicação da Justiça Desportiva. O julgamento seria realizado nesta sexta, mas foi adiado.

O Avaí vem por meio desta nota, também, repudiar a decisão por meio dos seguintes argumentos:

“We’ve got to move on quite quickly… but I think it’s important that the guys enjoy it”

Matt Roller15-Oct-20231:27

What made the Afghanistan spinners so good against England?

Afghanistan’s fixture list sees them play New Zealand in Chennai less than 72 hours after they pulled off the most famous win in the country’s sporting history by beating England in Delhi on Sunday night. But their coach Jonathan Trott’s message to his players was simple: “It’s important that you celebrate your victories.”Despite having won only one of their previous 17 matches at World Cups before their 69-run victory over the defending champions, Afghanistan’s ambition in this tournament was to qualify for the semi-finals. As a result, Trott admitted he needed to guard against complacency when they head south.And yet, drawing on the experience of his own playing career, Trott said that it was only right that his players should bask in their success. “I’m very keen not to put a dampener on things or tell them to focus on the next game,” Trott said. “I know from my career and my experience, I never soaked up enough, or enjoyed moments [like these].Related

Rashid Khan hopes for 'big celebration' in earthquake-ravaged Afghanistan after England win

“I’m certainly going to say to the guys, ‘enjoy tonight, spend some time together, whatever you want to do.’ As soon as we land in Chennai, in 12-18 hours’ time, we switch on for the next game and it’s back to business. It’s important you celebrate your victories, because they’re so hard and they’re always such a challenge.”We’ve got to move on quite quickly… but I think it’s important that the guys enjoy it. But also, [that they] take stock and realise when they get a certain amount of things right in the 50 overs or the 100 overs, what they can achieve and the level of teams that they can put under pressure and compete with and win cricket matches.”The spin trio of Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman did the trick for Afghanistan•Getty Images

Trott suggested that his players had benefited from the experience of playing with and against England’s players in franchise leagues, realising that despite their status as world champions, they were “human” too. “They get to know the ins and outs of each player, so there’s that familiarity and also the confidence,” he said.”Sometimes, I think when you see big Test-playing nations, you hold them in high regard. Playing with players like that, you see that they are human, and you are just as entitled to win or do well [as they are]… that’s the beauty of the World Cup, isn’t it? That’s what cricket is about.”I’m just chuffed with the players. The things that we’ve spoken about as a side, we’ve agreed if we get these things right, we can compete with anybody in the world. These guys work incredibly hard. I’m really impressed with them. They will see the rewards, and this will encourage them to kick on even more.”Trott also acknowledged the bigger picture of Afghanistan’s win. Last weekend, over 1,000 people were killed and many more injured in an earthquake in the west of the country. The players wore black armbands in memory of the victims during their defeat to India on Wednesday, and several players have donated substantially to relief efforts.”It’s not just cricket that the guys are playing for,” Trott said. “The guys are very knowledgeable of the things and the hardship that some people are going through because of the natural disaster, and for various other reasons. If this can give a smile to people’s faces anywhere in the world, but also encourage boys and girls to pick up a cricket bat or a cricket ball and get playing cricket wherever they are in Afghanistan, then that’s the goal that’s been achieved.”It’s very pleasing. There’s a lot of confidence that will hopefully come from this when competing against the bigger nations and it’ll have a knock-on effect to all the other games – not only in this World Cup, but for the future as well. [It shows] just what Afghanistan cricket can achieve… we don’t fear anyone. Every game we are here to play, and we are here to win.”

Riaz and Maroof put up a crucial stand of 39 off 28 balls to finish the job for Pakistan with 10 balls remaining

ESPNcricinfo staff03-Dec-2023

Fatima Sana’s three-for and a combined effort from batters helped Pakistan win the first T20I against New Zealand in Dunedin. It was Pakistan’s first-ever win against New Zealand in the format.Having elected to bat first, New Zealand got off to a steady start before medium-pacer Sana struck in the sixth over to remove Bernadine Bezuidenhout for 13. She then went on to dismiss Kate Anderson in the eighth over and pin Suzie Bates in front in the tenth to leave New Zealand at 59 for 3. She conceded just 18 runs off her four overs.Sophie Devine and Maddy Green then cautiously started the repair job but Aliya Riaz came back to remove the former for a 17-ball 11. Nida Dar then dismissed Georgia Plimmer in the 16th over.Green and Rowe then added 28 off 24 balls to take the total past 100. Green hit five boundaries during her stay and was unbeaten on 43, as New Zealand set Pakistan a target of 128.In the chase, Pakistan openers Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar started slowly, scoring 30 runs in the powerplay. Devine broke the stand in the ninth over, removing Muneeba for 23, following which Zulfiqar and Dar built towards the target.Zulfiqar departed for 41 and Dar for 23, leaving Pakistan with 35 runs to get off 38 balls. Riaz and Maroof came together for a fourth-wicket stand of 39 off 28 balls and finished the job with 10 balls remaining. Riaz scored the winning runs, a six off Jess Kerr in the 19th over.

India have been in this kind of position many times before and gotten themselves out of trouble, but England will be no pushovers

Karthik Krishnaswamy01-Feb-20242:39

Manjrekar: ‘Selecting Sarfaraz over Patidar would be an over-reaction’

Big pictureIt’s happened before, you know? It’s even happened against England; the last time they were here, in fact.It’s happened before. India have gone 1-0 down at home, and India have bounced back. This is what India will be telling themselves: ‘We’ve been here before. We trust ourselves to find our way out of this. We trust our methods.’It’s what they should tell themselves too. Change is a fact of life, a constant that India aren’t blind to – note their efforts to embrace the sweep and all its variants in the lead-up to Visakhapatnam – but there’s a reason why they’ve been so successful in their own conditions for such a long time: their methods work, and work exceedingly well, most of the time.Hyderabad was one of those exceptions, rare and freakish. India have experienced something very much like it too – Dinesh Chandimal, an almost stroke-for-stroke precursor to Ollie Pope – and they came back to win that series as well.Related

Patidar vs Sarfaraz takes centre stage at India nets

India have been there, and India have done it. They will trust that they can do it again. And for all of the shockwaves they set off in Hyderabad, England will know coming to Visakhapatam that they will most likely need to keep doing freakish things to repeat that result. Having won the first Test with a frontline spin attack with the collective experience of 36 Tests, they now go into the second with one that’s played a combined three Tests. Three. It’s quite likely that Joe Root will once again bowl more overs than at least one of their theoretically main spinners.For all that, though, have England had a better chance in India than this one since their triumphant 2012-13 tour? India were a team in transition in those late-Tendulkar days, and if they aren’t already in another full-blown transition now, the number of absences they’re dealing with has left them in a not-too-dissimilar situation.Who among Sarfaraz Khan and Rajat Patidar will feature in Visakhapatnam?•Getty Images

They’ve already felt the effects of losing experienced batters. Bowlers win Test matches, it’s true, but batters can lose them, in ways that aren’t immediately apparent. India came away from Hyderabad with the impression that they lost that Test match on day two, when their batters, one after another, fell while attempting boundary hits. Eight of their top nine got past 20, and three of them got into the 80s, but none of them got to three figures. The aggression that cost them their wickets also brought them their runs, yes, but you could easily imagine Virat Kohli, in the same conditions and against the same attack, going at a not-dissimilar clip while hitting nothing in the air, and piling up what may have seemed to him a double-hundred for the taking.In Visakhapatnam, India will miss not just Kohli but also KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, two of their three most experienced batters from the first Test.And the loss of Jadeja, needless to say, will leave them without half of one of the greatest spin-bowling duos in history. It’s a massive blow, particularly since India are already without Mohammed Shami, whose absence in Hyderabad left them without a supreme wicket-taker in Indian conditions while also – given their seeming lack of faith in Mohammed Siraj – piling extra overs onto their spinners’ shoulders.It’s a reflection of how good India are that Jadeja’s likely replacement is Kuldeep Yadav, a bowler who’d probably be part of England’s first-choice attack in every Test match, home and away, if they could magically change his nationality. Even so, as good as they are, India are not as good as they could be, and in this lies England’s greatest chance.Form guideIndia LWLDW (last five Tests, most recent first)
England WWDWLIn the spotlightHe averages 21.55, has taken three five-fors in just 14 innings, and was Player of the Match in his most recent Test match, but he’s an Indian spinner in the time of R Ashwin and Jadeja. Kuldeep Yadav has missed 56 of India’s 64 Tests since his debut in 2017, and he’s waited patiently for opportunities like this one. Along the way he’s made himself a more resilient bowler, quicker and harder to sit on the back foot against, while remaining just as deceptive in the air and off the pitch. In some ways he might be just the bowler India need against an England line-up prepared to sweep and reverse sweep everything in its path: a bit more dip, a bit more bounce, and the threat of the ball going in unexpected directions.He sent down 48 overs in Hyderabad, the most he’s ever bowled in a Test match, and there’s every chance he’ll have to go through a similar workload again. Can Joe Root cope with it? And what effect will it have on his batting?Team newsIndia have decisions to make with Rahul and Jadeja out. Kuldeep’s wicket-taking ability or Washington Sundar’s all-round utility? Rajat Patidar’s standing in the hierarchy or Sarfaraz Khan’s unorthodox methods? Is there, perhaps, even a case for Sundar Kuldeep, with either a batter or a fast bowler – Siraj – missing out?India (possible): 1 Rohit Sharma (capt), 2 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 3 Shubman Gill, 4 Shreyas Iyer, 5 Rajat Patidar, 6 Axar Patel, 7 KS Bharat (wk), 8 R Ashwin, 9 Kuldeep Yadav, 10 Jasprit Bumrah, 11 Mohammed Siraj.1:32

Miller: Bashir debut another ‘no fear’ pick from England

England are going 3-1 again, with James Anderson and Shoaib Bashir coming in for Mark Wood and the injured Jack Leach.England: 1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Rehan Ahmed, 9 Tom Hartley, 10 Shoaib Bashir, 11 James Anderson.Pitch and conditionsOn the eve of the match, Ben Stokes suggested the Visakhapatnam pitch might offer a little less turn initially than the one in Hyderabad did, before “footholes and stuff like that […] come into play the further the Test goes”. The sun will bake down, though, so it may not take too much time for the pitch to begin showing wear.Spinners will bowl the bulk of the overs, but don’t be surprised if the quicks make an impact. Reverse swing came into the picture the last time England played here – Anderson, Stuart Broad and Stokes took 10 of the 20 Indian wickets that fell – and three years later Shami was India’s fourth-innings destroyer against South Africa, taking 5 for 35 on a wearing pitch where the ball frequently kept low.Shoaib Bashir was named in England’s XI for the second Test•Getty Images

Stats and trivia Ashwin is four wickets away from becoming the second India bowler to reach the 500 mark in Test cricket. Ashwin (95) is just one wicket behind Bhagwath Chandrasekhar, India’s leading Test wicket-taker against England. Anderson (139) is a distant first on the England-India Test wicket-takers’ list. Jasprit Bumrah, meanwhile, needs four wickets to get to 150 in Tests. Rohit Sharma made centuries in both innings the last time India played a Test in Visakhapatnam. A similar Test this time will help him go past 4000 Test runs. He currently has 3800. Root (11,477) has more Test runs than India’s entire squad in Visakhapatnam (10,702). Anderson is set to play his 14th Test match in India, joining Keith Fletcher, Gordon Greenidge, Clive Lloyd and Ricky Ponting in joint third place in the overseas players’ list, with only Viv Richards (15) and Derek Underwood (16) ahead of them. Anderson is also 10 wickets away from joining Muthiah Muralidaran and Shane Warne in the 700 club. Stokes is unlikely to bowl, but if he does, he’ll know he’s three wickets away from the 200 mark in Tests.Rohit Sharma plots India’s comeback•Getty Images

Quotes”Playing in India, we play a lot of cricket on these tracks. It’s not that we don’t know how to reverse sweep or sweep or paddle. On that particular day, depending upon the situation of the team, we as batters take our calls. And it’s very clear to us to bat with freedom. We’ve also practised some reverse in the first game as well, but then, yes, playing out in the centre is a batter’s individual plan, and if the team demands us to play in a certain way we are definitely up for it.”
“The way in which they set the tone for everybody else but also the way they put the bowlers under a serious amount of pressure with a new ball. A new ball is always the most difficult period, but you know, consistently not only are they able to negate that but they’re also able to get the scoreboard rolling at a very, very good rate, which is a huge thing for our dressing room and our batting line-up as well. And I think it’s pretty obvious [there’s] a difference in height between the both of them and I think they complement each other very, very well. Balls that Zak plays on the front foot, Ducky plays on the back foot. So it’s very tough, I think, for bowlers to settle into a rhythm and settle into a line and length against those two. One’s left-handed, one’s right. So the way in which they complement each other is brilliant. And yes, they get us get us off to a great start and just sort of set the tone for us in a Test.”
