Only three could play any given match, but the Ashes ranked higher than ego.Of course he wanted to play, but his sentiment seemed sincere. On previous tours Australian teams had tried importing the same bowling approach they used at home, and … [Read more...] about Mitchell Starc proves his worth with the pink ball in the first day-night Test against New Zealand in Perth

External Link: Fifth Ashes Test summary With Australia having already retained the Urn, the hosts are in the box seat at 8-313, hoping to tie the series up at 2-2 after building a 382-run lead on the back of Denly, who fell six agonising runs short of his maiden Test century.The 33-year-old opener, who has been toiling in first-class cricket since 2004, was dropped late on day two before he had troubled the scorers, but knuckled down on day three, only getting out for 94 on his 206th ball.His partnership with fellow opener Rory Burns was worth 54, which was twice as good as the previous best opening effort of the series — also held by the … [Read more...] about The Ashes: Australia dominated by England on day three of fifth Test at The Oval

India vs Bangladesh, Day/Night Test: More helmet blows in Kolkata raise pink-ball visibility question
KOLKATA: Two more Bangladesh batsmen sustained sickening blows to the helmet on Saturday, raising questions about the visibility of the pink ball used for their maiden day-night Test against India at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. The tourists, facing a heavy defeat, were already grappling with a personnel crisis after Liton Das and Nayeem Hasan were hit on the head by short deliveries from Mohammed Shami in their first innings on Friday. That forced Bangladesh to bring in Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam as concussion substitutes. On Saturday, Mohammad Mithun was smacked on the helmet by an Ishant Sharma delivery, while Mushfiqur Rahim, whose unbeaten 59 helped them avoid a defeat inside two days, was hit by an Umesh Yadav lifter.
