“Are you going to have nightmares…” “Yes!” The question wasn’t even fully formed yet and Meg Lanning had provided the answer. No, she wasn’t going to sleep well after hitting the catch that would give footer Alana King a hat-trick, her country’s second in the women’s T20Is. To be honest, Lanning, the Australia captain, was a kind person about the situation, from burying his face in the Edgbaston grass there, where if you gave him 99 equal chances, he would take it, to grimacing in the background as reporters questioned King a few yards away. afterwards about the incident and then confronted the same reporters, knowing very well what was going to happen. “I’m going to have nightmares,” Lanning said. “I wanted to dig a hole and jump into it as fast as I could. I tried my best and I dropped it.” Softening the blow somewhat was the fact that Australia had one foot in the Commonwealth Games semi-finals with Barbados 53 for 8 at the time. Barbados managed just 64 before being blown away.

Adam Gilchrist believes it would be “commercial suicide” for Cricket Australia to allow their contracted players to play in the UAE or South Africa T20 Leagues that will clash with the BBL in January. Speaking on SEN Radio on Wednesday, Gilchrist was discussing a report on Australian who said David Warner was seeking an exemption from CA to play in the UAE league in January. Warner is contracted to CA, but Australia had no international cricket in the final three weeks of January following the completion of a three-Test series with South Africa on January 8. “It’s a big kicker, no, maybe a step towards being signed to a club before or over a country for the main amount of cricket you play,” Gilchrist said. “I think it’s almost commercial suicide for them to let a player like him go head-to-head with their own competitors. “They can’t force David Warner to play in the BBL. I understand that. But to let him go, or any other player, don’t just pick Warner, because there will be other p

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes Tim David is the type of player who could win the Australia T20 World Cup, comparing his game-winning abilities to 2003 50-over World Cup star Andrew Symonds. Ponting, who recently took on the role of chief strategist at Hobart Hurricanes where David played in the BBL, suggested that if he were an Australian voter, he would find a place for a strong right-hand man on the Australian side despite the reality of the 2022 T20 World Host. The cup defended the title they won without David in the squad last year. He compared David’s power stroke to that of his late friend Symonds, who came on last-minute in Australia’s 2003 World Cup squad and dominated by scoring a brilliant 143 not-comes in the opening game against Pakistan and another 91 wins not coming off the game. semifinal against Sri Lanka. “If I were a picky eater, I would love to have someone like that on my team,” Ponting said. “If he plays or not, just to have that kind of attackin

Australian cricket is under greater pressure than ever to attract big overseas talent to the BBL due to the huge amount of money that may be offered in the new South African and UAE T20 leagues which will run at the same time of year. , according to Ricky Ponting and Usman Khawaja. Ponting has moved into a team role in the BBL for the first time since playing and commenting on the tournament for the first 11 years after being appointed chief strategist at Hobart Hurricanes. He made his first major appointment Friday announcing Jeff Vaughan as head coach for the next three years alongside new assistants James Hopes and Darren Berry. Ponting and his new coaching staff held a three-hour meeting on Thursday night where they discussed Hurricane’s plans for the upcoming overseas draft to be held on August 28. Hurricane will have the last (8th) pick in the first two rounds after being drawn out last in a weighted lottery. But following developments that South Africa’s new T20 league has so

The night before the Fifth Trial between England and India in Edgbaston, Ben Stokes watched “Elvis,” a biographical drama about rock ‘n’ roll icon Elvis Presley. You wouldn’t describe Stokes or his team-mates as cinephiles, although they often make the trip to the movies on Test game week to pass the time. Choosing a film is usually fairly easy, although Stokes’ penchant for horror films can be polarizing. On odd occasions they have taken inspiration from the big screen. During their 2019-20 South Africa tour, they were fascinated by Sam Mendes’ “1917”, about the search for two British soldiers who delivered the message to call off a failed operation. It helped Mendes, a cricket fan, name the three characters after Stokes, Jos Buttler and Alastair Cook. This time around, there aren’t too many cricket references – even if director Baz Luhrmann is Australian – but there are certain moments that touch Stokes’ heart. During the 1950s, Elvis had a reputation as a troublemaker for creatin
