If you are an Australian cricket fan already freaking out about the top-order after one bad Test against the West Indies, all I can say is chill. Sure, Sam Konstas did not exactly light up the Test. Sure, Cameron Green and Josh Inglis did not score bucket loads of runs. But it is all good, […]

With the high stakes in Test cricket, emotions can sometimes run very high, particularly when it seems decisions are not being made fairly and at important times.

Sure, having had a […]
Let’s face it, captaining Team India on a Test tour in England is a tough gig. That’s the epitome of high-pressure cricket. Now, imagine being just 25 years old and being named captain on a tour of this nature. There’s been a fair amount of fanfare over the talented Shubman Gill – the right-handed batter […]

Just a few moments after Bangladesh suffered a painful innings defeat to Sri Lanka, Najmul Hossain Shanto dropped a bombshell—he’s resigning from his role as Test captain. No leaks, no teasers, just a very heavy press conference. A post-match captain’s review was anticipated, and then the captain revealed he is stepping […]
We’ve all been there – that uneasy feeling of triumph just before it spirals out of control. That was India in Birmingham, 2022.
