England Skittle New Zealand At Lords
Last Word on Sports | Cricket

England’s latest red-ball reset has gotten off to a flying start with England skittling New Zealand at Lords. Having lost the toss and been put into the field by the Black Caps on what looked like a good day for batting day, it did not take long for Jimmy Anderson to make an impact on his return to the side. Will Young, who has been in fine form for Northants, lasted just two balls with Johnny Bairstow taking a sharp chance off the bowling of Anderson. Tom Latham occupied the crease for longer, but scored just one run before being dismissed. If New Zealand were relying on Kane Williamson and ..read more

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka Play Out Draw in Chattogram Test

There was not very much in it for the bowlers in the Chattogram Test and not for the first time. Angelo Mathews, in particular, delivered a timely reminder of his quality with the bat, falling just one run short of a double century in Sri Lanka’s first innings. Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim struck centuries in reply for Bangladesh, with Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Litton Das also in the runs for the hosts. But despite some early breakthroughs in Sri Lanka’s second innings, a result never looked likely. Dinesh Chandimal, who made a fifty in the first innings, and Niroshan Dickwella made absolutel ..read more

England vs New Zealand: Bowling Looks Strong But Batting Still Frail In England Squad
Last Word on Sports | Cricket

England have named their first 13-man squad of the new era under Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes. The immediate takeaway is that if English cricket administrators have not always been as appreciative of Stuart Broad and James Anderson as they should have been, England cricket fans will certainly be grateful that they can call upon such experienced campaigners. Particularly because England’s other seamers have been dropping like flies in recent weeks. A bad batch of Dukes balls and a punishing early season County Championship schedule have not helped in that regard, with the likes of Saqib Mah ..read more

In The End Tom Harrison Was An Executive Who Couldn’t See The Wood For The Trees

Tom Harrison ends his reign as CEO of the England and Wales Cricket Board with the game in disarray. The principal victim of that is cricket in England and Wales, but it is also an unedifying end to the career of a man who brought a great deal to the sport. The TV rights package he negotiated in 2017 for over £1 billion has helped cricket in England and Wales weather the almighty storm that was the covid-19 pandemic, and he also played an important role in England winning two World Cups. But, and it is a big but, he was not a leading figure in England’s success on the pitch. Rather, he has do ..read more

England vs New Zealand: Who Should Play For the Hosts at Lords?

With the start of the English Test summer now barely three weeks away, the stage is set for an entertaining England vs New Zealand tussle. The two sides have met fairly regularly of late and there should be few secrets, not least because England’s new coach is none other than former-Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum, credited by his successor in the role Kane Williamson with revolutionizing the New Zealand approach. New Zealand’s results in recent years certainly paint an encouraging picture. The Black Caps have reached three World Cup finals since 2015, in both the ODI and T20 competitions ..read more

The IPL’s Loss Is County Championship Cricket’s Gain
Last Word on Sports | Cricket
by Jim Smith
2y ago
One of the chief criticisms levelled at the County Championship in recent years is that it fails to prepare English batters for Test cricket. The reason for that is that the green-tinged pitches and the playing conditions allow medium-pacers to run riot, giving the Counties little to no incentive to play genuinely quick bowlers or spinners. However, the dial appears to be moving on that front, or at least in relation to the number of fast bowlers currently plying their trade in the County Championship. The unwritten rule that Pakistani players cannot play in the IPL is a big reason for that ..read more

Umran Malik: The Jammu Express

Abdul Samad has perhaps done Indian Cricket its biggest favour in recent times. Introducing Umran Malik as a net bowler to the Sunrisers Hyderabad squad in 2020, eventually paved the way to international recognition for India’s latest (and fastest) bowling sensation. Meet Umran Malik: the Jammu Express. The speedster is able to rack up speeds in excess of 150km/h almost every delivery. He has hurried cricketing royalty in KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya. The likes of Ravi Shastri are now calling for him to be rushed into the Indian set up. The Jammu Express is a product of the ever-re ..read more

Ben Stokes: The Right Man At The Wrong Time?

Ben Stokes is clearly an inspirational leader. Whether it single-handedly leading England to victory at Headingley – surely his finest moment – or captaining a scratch English side to a 3-0 victory against a full-strength Pakistan, he is clearly a cricketer that teammates will follow. That he is extravagantly gifted, to the extent that he would likely keep his place in the side purely as a bowler or batter, no doubt helps, but as Joe Root’s captaincy proved, talent alone does not guarantee success in the role. The unanimous response to his elevation to the captaincy was that he was not only t ..read more

English Cricket Should Introduce One Day Franchise Cricket
Last Word on Sports | Cricket
by Jim Smith
2y ago
The first English foray into Franchise Cricket was along way from being a success. The considerable cash reserves built up by the ECB over the years were frittered away on the Hundred without many obvious benefits in return. Of course, the Hundred is not without positives. It certainly shouldn’t be overlooked that it provided a new, and considerably bigger, platform for women’s cricket, as well as allowing the stars of the women’s game to earn a reasonably big pay cheque. But ultimately, it is impossible to escape the conclusion that it was both badly thought out and badly executed. From the ..read more
