Ollie Pope has lost England’s number three spot more often than any specialist batter in the Bazball era, and now a third player in as many years is stepping in. Jacob Bethell filled in twice, scoring a maiden century in Sydney during his second stint, before injury ruled him out of the Pakistan series. Jordan […]
Jadeja reached the landmark in Galle, becoming just the fourth cricketer in history and the second Indian after Kapil Dev to pair 4000 Test runs with 350 Test wickets. He got there in his 90th Test, faster than Kapil, Botham or Vettori managed the same double. The milestone arrived mid-spell against Sri Lanka, with three […]
Pakistan have generally had the talent to compete with England on English soil, but a single passage of play keeps costing them the series. It happened at Old Trafford in 2020, at Edgbaston in 2010, and in smaller ways throughout the 2016 and 2018 tours. Thirty years on from their last series win, in 1996, […]
Nellai Royal Kings are strong favourites in this NRK vs SAL match prediction, holding a 55% win probability against SKM Salem Spartans’ 45%. Nellai arrive on the back of a nail-biting 2-wicket win, while Salem have lost five matches in a row, giving Nellai a clear momentum and form advantage heading into the 24th Match […]
IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans are favoured to win this TT vs MDP match prediction, with a 53% win probability against Madurai Panthers’ 47%. Tiruppur’s bowling attack, led by T Natarajan, and their recent momentum against a Panthers side that has dropped its last outing give them the tactical edge heading into the 23rd Match of TNPL […]
Because every single franchise managed to find a non-gambling partner before it ever needed the fallback option at all. The Hundred’s board had actually voted in May to allow betting companies as a strict, closely conditioned last resort, but a late scramble for front-of-shirt deals meant all eight teams signed non-gambling sponsors before the tournament’s […]
If the players walk away, the model doesn’t work. Cricket Australia’s self-determination framework only functions because every state assumed the Australian Cricketers’ Association would eventually sign off on a revised pay deal, and that assumption broke on the eve of the crucial June meeting. Six states agreed in principle to decide their own privatisation timelines, […]
By splitting the job cleanly between two bowlers who never really needed to overlap at all. Hasan Mahmud’s disciplined seam did the early damage in Australia’s first innings, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s off-spin finished the job entirely in the second, and that clean division let Bangladesh bowl out the world’s top-ranked Test team twice inside […]
England hold a narrow edge in this ENG vs PAK match prediction, with our model giving them a 53% win probability over Pakistan at the start of the 1st Test in Leeds. Home conditions and Joe Root’s proven form at the top of the order give England the tactical upper hand, though Pakistan arrive full […]
Dindigul Dragons are favourites in this DD vs TRI match prediction, with our model giving them a 55% win probability against Trichy Grand Cholas in the 22nd Match of TNPL 2026. Dindigul’s batting depth was on full display in their last outing, and their overwhelming head-to-head record against Trichy adds further weight to this call. […]
BT vs SLK 9th CPL Match Highlights: Barbados Tridents defeated St Lucia Kings by 9 runs in the 9th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2026 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet. Chasing 178, the Kings fell short at 168/7 despite a late push, while the result kept Barbados Tridents on top […]
Sri Lanka finished Day 1 at Galle with one wicket because they could not convert pressure into dismissals, not because they lacked chances. Debutant Keshara Nuwantha beat the bat 18 times in 21 overs, more than any other bowler in the match, yet finished wicketless. A bat-pad chance off Rahul fell just wide of short […]
Padikkal’s unbeaten 131 at Galle ended a stretch built on indecision, not a lack of talent. India shuffled seven batters through the No. 3 slot across 19 Tests since Pujara’s exit in June 2023, and none reached three figures until now. Padikkal was only a late replacement for the injured Sai Sudharsan, yet he batted […]
