Pakistan reasserted their dominance in the UAE with a crushing win in Dubai over a Sri Lanka side that has seen ODI wins excruciatingly hard to come by in 2017. A century from Babar Azam – back playing his most favoured format – and a blistering 81 from Shoaib Malik saw Pakistan set Sri Lanka a stiff target of 293. They were never really in the chase, losing half the side for 67, with Rumman Raees and Hasan Ali leading the 83-run rout and handing them their eighth consecutive loss in the format.Upul Tharanga won the toss and opted to bowl when most – Sarfraz included – considered fielding under the scorching Dubai an unappealing prospect. But Sri Lanka’s opening bowlers Suranga Lakmal and Lahiru Gamage backed up their captain with a stellar opening spell, characterised by subtle swing and consistent line and lengths that deprived Pakistan of scoring opportunities. Ahmed Shehzad fell in what is becoming increasingly predictable fashion, getting bogged down by 11 dot balls, before coming down the wicket to Gamage and gifting midwicket a simple catch.It wasn’t until Babar, who had managed to hang in despite struggling for rhythm, and the street-smart Malik came together, that the momentum took a clear shift in Pakistan’s favour. The running between the wickets was excellent, and Malik was destructive when he decided to take the aerial route, with even the tricky Dhananjaya rendered ineffective towards the close of the innings.The bowling looked particularly toothless as Babar and Malik set themselves up for the finish, even if they were unable to come up with the sort of power-hitting the innings required at that stage. For their part, Sri Lanka were superb in the field, in stark contrast to the series against India, with fielders in the infield throwing themselves around and saving several runs. It wasn’t until the last six overs that the big runs really began to leak, but along with it came regular wickets that stymied Pakistan’s charge in the slog overs. Where once 300 looked a formality, Pakistan ended up scrambling to reach 292.Even so, the target was a formidable one, and Sri Lanka began with a clear, positive intent. Upul Tharanga and Niroshan Dickwella sought to take advantage of the Powerplay in a way Pakistan had not, hitting five fours in the first 19 balls. But from the moment the first wicket fell, Dickwella poking at a ball from Raees that nipped away from him, the rot set in. The run rate began to drop sharply; just five runs were scored off the next 24 deliveries. Raees was the most menacing and accounted for Dinesh Chandimal’s wicket too, the ball swinging back into the right-hander and trapping him plumb in front.Tharanga looked thoroughly unconvincing once Mohammad Hafeez came on, surviving numerous lbw appeals in a phase when the middle of his bat completely disappeared from the game. After being worked over for a couple of overs, the Sri Lanka captain was put out of his misery by Hafeez with a ball that skidded on and thudded into his off stump. Two overs later, Hasan Ali dismissed Kusal Mendis and Milinda Siriwardana off successive deliveries, effectively putting the game to bed.The lower order hung around long enough to seriously frustrate Pakistan, without really having a hope of winning. Thisara Perera provided brief entertainment before top-edging Shadab Khan and holing out, substitute fielder Faheem Ashraf taking an excellent catch. Raees came back into the attack and ended the resistance of the last recognised batsman Lahiru Thirimanne, who top-scored with 53.Where Pakistan might have expected to skittle the tail out cheaply, Dananjaya and Jeffrey Vandersay, the Nos. 8 and 9, viewed the situation as an opportunity to get batting practice. While they never showed any intent of even trying to reach the target, they grittily hung around for a 68-run partnership, ensuring Sri Lanka batted out their full fifty overs.Dananjaya ended up with an unbeaten fifty as the game meandered along for a full two hours. Pakistan seemed content to bowl out the overs than look to finish with a flourish. Even so, by the time Pakistan inevitably took a 1-0 lead, all Dananjaya and Vandersay had done was sprinkle some respectability onto another abject white-ball performance from Sri Lanka.

Kraigg Brathwaite and Shai Hope crafted an extraordinary tale for West Indies at Headingley, leading their side to a five-wicket win that helped them draw level in the series

The Report by Andrew McGlashan29-Aug-2017
Scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsIt was one of the great Test matches. Headingley has seen some remarkable final days and West Indies created their own extraordinary tale by chasing down 322 to level the series. Shai Hope achieved what Kraigg Brathwaite narrowly missed, becoming the first batsman to score twin hundreds on the ground in first-class cricket and, at 6.43pm, with the floodlights illuminating the ground almost as much as the day-night Test last week, Hope tucked the ball through square to complete one of the most unexpected redemption stories in the game’s history.Such was the application and skill of West Indies’ batting, anchored by the 144-run third-wicket stand between Brathwaite and Hope that, once they got through the morning session, the prospect of victory was closer than many would accept. There was constantly talk of how quickly it could change, but the collapse never came. At tea, moments after losing Brathwaite for 95, they needed 123 off 35 overs; when Roston Chase was superbly caught by substitute Mason Crane at mid-on, 76 off 19.5 overs.There was a chance with the new ball looming and the light fading that it could still unravel for West Indies, but Chase’s wicket may actually have helped. He was finding the old ball hard to time, and it brought in Jermaine Blackwood who chanced his arm (or batted normally for himself). He clubbed two tension-easing fours before, in brilliantly brazen style, hammering James Anderson’s second ball with the new ball straight for six. He was stumped with two runs needed, but his 41 off 45 balls ensured England never regained a foothold. From losing 19 wickets in a day, to this. Their first win in England since Edgbaston in 2000.Hope brought up his century from 175 balls – the second fifty proving much harder work off 105 deliveries – and on 106, with 37 runs required, he benefited from the 13th drop catch of the match when Alastair Cook at first slip spilled a top-edged cut. The last West Indies batsman to score two centuries in a Test was Kieran Powell, against Bangladesh in 2012, and Hope’s performance – from a man who averaged 19 before this Test – epitomised more than anything the team’s revival. Those who paid £10 to get in witnessed an ‘I-was-there’ moment.It was the second-highest successful chase at the ground behind Bradman’s 1948 Australians, slotting in ahead of England’s final-day hunt against Australia in 2001. Joe Root became the fourth England captain to declare and lose a Test but it was a perfectly reasonable target to set and it needs to be hoped a streak of positiveness isn’t knocked from Root’s mindset. England did not bowl badly, although Chris Woakes wasn’t at his best, on a surface that behaved far better than expected.Missed chances, though, proved costly from early in the day. In the fourth over, Cook had also dropped Brathwaite when he had 4. Another chance came from Brathwaite, on 29, amid bizarre circumstances when he popped a return catch to Broad which burst through the hands and cannoned into the non-striker’s stumps with Kyle Hope well out of his crease. A wicket, but the more valuable one would have been Brathwaite’s, as one of the players with the ability to defy England for long periods. It was 40 overs before he offered another chance, edging Moeen Ali to slip, and by then the groundwork for victory had been laid.Hope’s innings was magnificent. His first boundary was a rifled back-foot straight from a short-of-a-length delivery by Woakes and his fifty came off 70 balls, a slightly quicker rate than Brathwaite and he ensured Root could never dry up the scoring. As in the first session of the second day, it was an examination of both batsman’s techniques against a moving ball and the pair also played Moeen smartly to nullify his threat. After their 246-run partnership in the first innings, it was the first time since Brian Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan at Colombo in 2000-01 that the same West Indian batsmen had shared two hundred stands in a match.In mid-afternoon, England tried to conjure something with forceful spells from Broad and Ben Stokes, the latter not used until the 47th over of the innings, but both batsmen withstood everything, including a few zipping deliveries from Broad and the occasional ball which jumped off a length. England grew increasingly frustrated, especially Broad who took a kick at one of the followthrough marks which brought a rebuke from umpire S Ravi and may interest the ICC.Eventually it was spin which brought the breakthrough, Brathwaite driving away from his body to give Stokes a catch at slip. England would have had expectations of making further inroads into the middle order, but Hope and Chase sensibly soaked up the pressure after tea as Root gave Anderson an extended 10-over spell either side of the break which gave him precious little time to rest before the new ball.The harder ball zipped under the lights, but also came quicker off the bat – the middle and edges – as it dawned on England that the game had escaped them. With the target closing in Blackwood swung fiercely at Broad, edging a boundary and then clearing third man for six. There was still time for one more dropped catch – Stokes, of all people, shelling Blackwood at deep midwicket – but by then West Indies were all-but home. Lord’s, next week, is one of the more unexpected deciders.

The Pakistan batsman said he was unaware he had breached a PCB code when he made allegations against the coach in the media. However, he has not withdrawn his complaints

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Sep-2017

While Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal stands by his words against head coach Mickey Arthur, he has admitted that he might have been wrong in approaching the matter in the manner he did – a public outburst in a fiery press conference last month. In his response to the second show-cause notice issued by a three-man PCB committee, Akmal said he wasn’t aware his actions were a breach of the players’ code.The tone of Akmal’s response was significantly more conciliatory than earlier statements he had made on the subject. In a vague explanation, Akmal wrote that he “unaware” about any breach of code, and did what he did “unintentionally in the heat of the moment”. A source close to the player confirmed to ESPNcricinfo that the batsman still held his ground about his claims about Arthur but “regretted” going to the media to talk about his fallout with the coach.The committee was formed to probe Akmal’s allegations that the head coach had used abusive language with him. The claims are yet to be verified, but the PCB found him to be in breach of its code of conduct despite being a non-contracted player. According to one of the committee members, Amjad Hussain – who is the PCB’s media director – players who are not centrally contracted with the PCB but are part of the domestic circuit are still compelled to follow the players’ code of conduct which is enforced at every level.Akmal had promised to apologise to Arthur should the committee find him guilty, but also made it clear he expected the same from Arthur if the verdict was in his favour. Calling himself a national cricketer who had “produced excellent results for Pakistan”, he said that the law did not allow any person to hurt the feelings and self-respect of another individual. He concluded by expressing full faith in the PCB to resolve the matter efficiently, as it was one “of respect, dignity and pride of Pakistan and its nation”.

The stand-in captain also said they were still looking for the right combination in T20s, as they handed six debuts in their last two matches

Mohammad Isam18-Feb-2018

Bangladesh have to face the reality of their shortcomings in T20s and only then will they improve in the format, according to their stand-in captain Mahmudullah. The call to “face facts” comes on the back of getting thrashed by 75 runs in the second T20 by Sri Lanka, culminating in a 2-0 defeat for the hosts.Bangladesh conceded 210 for 4 after deciding to bowl in Sylhet. Only left-arm spinner Nazmul Islam seemed to curtail Sri Lanka’s big hitting in his four overs but the others gave away far too many bad balls. Bangladesh’s chase never got off to a sound start with only Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah making a bit of splash, before getting bowled out in the 19th over.They had batted better in the first T20, putting up their highest-ever T20 score, but bowled very poorly to go down 1-0 in Dhaka. In what was their first international match in Sylhet, the home side couldn’t correct any of their mistakes with the ball.”The responsibility is upon every cricketer to take us forward in T20s,” Mahmudullah said. “We have to figure out all the nitty-gritty issues by discussing with the coaches and team management. We have to face the facts and find out where we are making the mistakes. If we do this quickly, we will perform better.”Mahmudullah stressed on the need to be aggressive in T20s regardless of the situation of the game. He said that taking early wickets and then getting off to a good start with the bat is key to doing well in the format. “I think the fault is in our execution. It is tough to survive in T20s if we don’t have individual plans and are not courageous enough. If you are giving 10-12 runs every over and still not trying anything different, you are not going anywhere.”You have to take the wickets, despite giving away 15 runs. Their opening bowler took two wickets despite going for runs. It helped them in the Powerplay.”The first six overs is very important in T20s. Our top order has to go hard even if we lose wickets. For our bowling unit, we have to take early wickets otherwise we won’t be able to survive in T20s. It can be a proper bouncer, yorker or slower [delivery], but you have to take wickets.”But Bangladesh have been a side seeing constant changes. They dropped four players, including recent debutants Zakir Hasan and Afif Hossain, for the second T20, handing debuts to two more – Abu Jayed and Mahedi Hasan. Mahmudullah said that they are still looking for a proper combination in T20s.”Those who got the chance are well-deserving. I think we are still looking for the right combination in T20s. I hope we can figure it out quickly, otherwise we are waiting a lot of trouble inT20s,” he said.

Rahul Dravid will be team mentor and Paddy Upton head coach in a re-jigged coaching team for Delhi Daredevils

‘Great to be part of a young, exciting team’ – Dravid

Former India captain Rahul Dravid has been appointed team mentor of Delhi Daredevils. Dravid will head a refurbished coaching bench at Daredevils, who have also hired former South Africa and India assistant coach Paddy Upton as head coach.Dravid and Upton will work with a team of assistants: Zubin Bharucha (technical director), former India batsmen Sridharan Sriram and Praveen Amre (batting coaches), and former Tamil Nadu and India fast bowler TA Sekhar (bowling consultant).”I am very excited by the challenge of taking Delhi Daredevils on to the next level. From what I have seen I have been impressed by the ambition and energy demonstrated by the team and I look forward to working with a group of players that I believe have what it takes to succeed,” Dravid said.”Along with the rest of the support staff, I am fully aware of what this franchise means to its supporters and I intend to do everything possible to help build a team that the fans can be proud of.”The franchise was forced to ring in changes to the coaching staff once former South Africa batsman and coach Gary Kirsten’s three-year contract was terminated after two seasons. Under Kirsten, who took charge in September 2013, Daredevils finished bottom of the table in IPL 2014 and second from the bottom last year. Daredevils also axed Kirsten’s assistant Rob Walters, who was the trainer.Incidentally, the trio of Dravid, Upton and Bharucha were part of the core team at Rajasthan Royals, which has been suspended for two seasons by the Lodha Committee. In 2014, having served as captain in previous seasons, Dravid assumed the role of team director cum mentor at Royals. In the 28 matches Dravid oversaw, the franchise won 13 matches and lost 12, with two ties and one no result.One of the most sought after coaches in the T20 format, Upton recently won the Big Bash League with Sydney Thunder, before also coaching Lahore Qalandars in the inaugural Pakistan Super League.”I relish the privilege to work again with Rahul and Zubin, and to have the opportunity to do so at a franchise like Delhi Daredevils,” Upton said. “I am constantly learning about the Twenty20 format as I move around the world, and look forward to applying and furthering this knowledge at the coming IPL season with Delhi.”

Elsewhere, Rohit Motwani’s career-best 189 helped Maharashtra put up 481 after they had been put in

ESPNcricinfo staff10-Nov-2017

Left-arm spinner Saurabh Kumar continued the Uttar Pradesh fightback with 4 for 54, with an economy rate under 2, as Assam finished the second day on 279 for 6, still trailing by 70 runs. He had already struck a century from No. 8 to lift his side to a more than respectable 349, but clearly it wasn’t enough to satisfy him. Coming on as the second-change bowler, he knocked over four of the top five in Assam’s line-up to make sure the visitors retained the upper hand in Guwahati. Only Sibsankar Roy (72) and Rishav Das (52) were able to progress past fifty. Assam’s hopes of a first-innings rest rather heavily on Swarupam Purkayastha (34 not out) and Pallavkumar Das (10 not out).Wicketkeeper-batsman Rohit Motwani built on his overnight half-century to make a career-best 189 to help Maharashtra put on 481 against Railways in Pune. Railways responded with an unbroken stand of 88 for the opening wicket that took them to stumps 393 runs behind on the second day.Maharashtra had begun the day on 249 for 5. They lost Chirag Khurana and Nikit Dhumal in quick succession and were reduced to 287 for 7, before Motwani dominated partnerships with the tail enders, putting on a combined 194 runs for the last three wickets. It began with 94-run stand for the eighth with debutant Mukesh Choudhary, during which Motwani brought up his fourth first-class hundred. He was the last man out, eleven short of a double-hundred, having struck 24 fours and three sixes.

Aaron Finch pinpointed Australia’s middle-overs game as an area of improvement, as their tendency to lose wickets in clumps has often hurt their ability finish off innings strongly

Daniel Brettig10-Jan-2018

If 4-0 was a clear statement about the gap between Australia and England during the Ashes, then another figure says plenty about the fact that Steven Smith’s team have a lot of work ahead of them to become genuine contenders for the 2019 World Cup. Last year, Australia won only five of 15 ODIs, endured a winless Champions Trophy, where two of their three games were washed out, and slid to No. 3 in the ICC rankings.Aaron Finch, a fixture in the team for most of the past five years, witnessed a pattern of batting collapses over that period, in New Zealand, England, and then in India. With the benefit of a few months’ worth of reflection, he reasoned that this was the key area Australia had to address in order to start building for the next global tournament.On the selection front, the replacement of Matthew Wade and Glenn Maxwell with Tim Paine and *insert name here* appears to be directed at addressing those mid-innings wobbles, something Finch said had prevented the team from building the sorts of high totals now considered non-negotiable, given the hyper-aggression shown by teams such as India and England.”Being still 18 months out, there’s quite a lot of cricket to come before that World Cup, so I’m sure there’ll be a little bit of experimentation with the key seven, eight or nine of the squad going forward,” Finch said. “Probably still going to be in and around the squad anyway. When you look at guys who are bankers in the side, Smith obviously, Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood, Davey (David) Warner, who no doubt will be there in the future, but I think there’s a chance to tinker with a few things and make sure we get our balance right.”In the Champions Trophy, we probably didn’t put enough partnerships together with the bat. A lot of back-to-back wickets, and we know how important that is in stalling run rates and creating momentum. So we were probably losing too many early wickets through that middle period of the game and not allowing us a real big platform to take into that last 10-15 overs to put a real assault on the opposition.”When we were playing in India, a similar thing happened, we’d lose clumps of wickets. And we know playing India in India is very tough, starting against spin on some wickets that had a bit of turn in them. That’s one part we can improve and probably through that middle part just bank it a little bit more and really load up for the back 15 overs.”The balance of the squad intrigues, given the inclusion of both Mitchell Marsh, after his standout batting displays during the Ashes series, and Marcus Stoinis, following a series of stout performances in losing efforts in New Zealand and India last year. At the same time, the ambiguity over Maxwell’s future, given that the selectors are yet to decide on the replacement for Chris Lynn after his withdrawal with a calf injury, had Finch describing how he had seen his fellow Victorian prepare with the sort of diligence Smith has asked for.”He’s disappointed, he backs his ability and game to be very successful in international cricket,” Finch said of Maxwell. “He knows that averaging 22 over his last 20 games wasn’t what the side needed from him. But he’s gone back and he’s in great form, he’s peeled off runs and that’s all you can do. They say make runs and make a statement, and he certainly has done that.”He’s playing some really good cricket at the moment. The way he’s batting is as good as I’ve seen in terms of his tempo and stuff like that. He’s changed a little bit from being all guns blazing from the first ball to giving himself a little bit of time, and I suppose the Stars have been losing a few early wickets, so it’s allowed him to bat for that little bit longer before he has to take a risk. If the opportunity comes, he’ll take it with both hands.”In the lead-up to the Shield season, his training was fantastic. I think his results have reflected that over the last couple of months in terms of his pure output of runs in that format. Now he’s getting runs in the T20s as well, consistent runs, which has been one part he would’ve liked to address a bit earlier, and just make sure when he is in good form he’s backing that up. You can’t really argue with a couple of 60s, a 290 and then a 96 in three back-to-back games in the Shield.”England, meanwhile, went on their own journey of reinvention after failing to contend for the World Cup, won by Australia at home in 2015, settling on a more heavy-hitting style that Finch said had been a subject of plenty of interest among Smith’s men, not least when they were soundly beaten during the Champions Trophy. “They’ve played some great one-day cricket in the last couple of years, a different leader with Eoin Morgan leading their side,” Finch said.”I think the one-day and T20 formats really suit the way they play: ultra aggressive. Beating us in the Champions Trophy, there’s still a few scars there for the boys. But, overall, they’re a pretty good side, plenty of guys who can give it a smack with the bat, so I’d expect them to play hard. We’ve played them a few times over the last couple of years, and the structure of their side hasn’t changed a hell of a lot. They’ve got similar players, and anyone who’s come into the side has played a similar-type role to the ones that have gone out.”You have guys like Hales and Roy and Bairstow at the top of the order, who can give it a smack. They’ve got a side that takes risks their whole innings and looks to put the foot down for a long period of that 50 overs with the bat. With the ball, they’ve been very similar for a long time now. So we do have a lot of knowledge there, but there’s always a chance to continue learning and come up with some new plans for different players.”

Dhaka Dynamites destroyed Sylhet Sixers in the shortest-ever BPL chase, winning by eight wickets and 73 balls to spare. Shahid Afridi took four wickets and struck five sixes in his 15-ball 37 before Evin Lewis hit five more sixes in their chase of 102.Sylhet, who had previously won three of their first four matches, including one against Dhaka in the tournament opener, crawled to 101 for 9 in 20 overs. A 48-run tenth-wicket stand, the highest in BPL history, carried them towards respectability after they had slumped to 53 for 9 in 13 overs.Afridi took four wickets, his third four-for this year and eighth overall, while Sunil Narine finished with 3 for 10, which included his 300th T20 wicket, the third bowler to the landmark after Dwayne Bravo and Lasith Malinga.Hider, Narine take early wicketsIn the second over, Abu Hider had Upul Tharanga caught behind with a fine delivery that moved slightly away. He also removed Danushka Gunathilaka, who replaced opener Andre Fletcher. Narine also had Sabbir caught at slip before Ross Whiteley was stumped in his next over, Narine’s 300th T20 scalp.Afridi takes overFrom the sixth over, Shahid Afridi, who arrived on Friday, took control of the game. He had Nasir Hossain top-edging a hoick to slip, before having Wanindu Hasaranga squirting a drive to cover. Tim Bresnan, on his BPL debut, was then caught at long-off.Off the last ball of his spell, Nurul Hasan was caught in an unusual attempt to scoop the ball over the slip fielder. Delport completed his fourth catch, which gave Afridi his second BPL four-wicket haul. Khulna Titans were bowled out for 44 runs the last time he took a four-for. .Hasan’s resistanceAbul Hasan struck a century on debut at No. 10. He showed more of that capability with the bat against Dhaka. He struck a six and three fours in his 26-ball 30. Taijul Islam supported him with 16 off 20 balls.Improving net run-rateHaving replaced Kumar Sangakkara, Afridi was asked to open, and he hit his stride straightaway. He smashed Tim Bresnan for two sixes in the first over of the chase.Afridi and Lewis hit two sixes each in the fourth over, bowled by Taijul. After seven sixes in the first 24 balls of the innings, Bresnan dismissed Afridi and Delport off consecutive deliveries.Lewis, though, finished the game with three sixes in the eighth over, bowled by Hasaranga. Lewis was unbeaten on 44 off 18 balls, which included two fours and five sixes.
