The game we all love, however
The controversy surrounding Justin Langer refuses to sleep. Whether it is his penchant to be in the news all the time or does controversy follow him whatever he does is not really clear but it looks like he rather enjoys to be in the middle of a storm. Ever since Australia lost their home series …
One more year and one more Ashes is done and dusted. Australia swept to an easy win. England were nowhere found in the entire series. It was a complete one-sided affair. For the 3rd consecutive series, England were humiliated in Australia. 0-5 in 2013, 0-4 in 2017 and now 0-4 in 2021. All said and …
England have one last chance to keep the Ashes alive. It is pressure enough. Come Boxing Day, the magnificent Melbourne Cricket Ground will host more than 70,000 spectators. England can be rest assured that more than 90% of them will be vociferous supporters of Australia. Beers will keep flowing throughout the game and Australians are …
Before you get on with the review of Australia after Adelaide, please feel free to read about my review about England. Australia must be thrilled. Hardly 2 tests into the series and they are already one test win away from winning and retaining the Ashes. Remember, last time, in England, Australia drew the series to …
It is really hard to believe that England have been planning for the 2021 Ashes series for 2 years. Yes, that is what is everyone made to believe. The rest and rotation policy that was followed in Sri Lanka and against India, both at home and away, points in this direction. As was the selection …
The first test of the Ashes done and dusted, the teams have moved onto the day-night game at Adelaide. This is a unique series in that it has got 2 day-night games instead of the usual one. The first of which will start on the 16th at Adelaide. England who are in a spot of …
So, the first Ashes test at Gabba has resulted in a resounding victory for Australia. The defeat was so chastening that it is difficult to see England emerge from this rubble but emerge they must. Not just for their sake but for the sake of the cricket watching global fans. We just do not want …
Australia and Cummins could not have asked for a perfect start. First Australian bowler to captain the side, a side that had been in turmoil just before the start of the series, Cummins must have certainly felt the pressure. He must have hoped for a decent morning with a couple of wickets if they were …
If England are in Australia in the month of December and will be celebrating Christmas in Australia, it can mean only onething. THE ASHES is here. The Ashes which is the predominant trophy that predates any tournament is about to start and the excitement even after 100 years is still undiminished. Even ODI and T20 …
He is back. Steve Smith is back. Smith is back as the Australian vice-captain. After more than 4 years since the disgrace of Newlands, Smith is now the vice-captain of the team. Paine’s ignominious exit post his lewd messages, left a leadership crisis within the Australian team. That too just before The Ashes. Ashes we …
