‘There’s strength in loyalty, not numbers’: David Warner’s cryptic post before ENG vs AUS 4th Ashes Test

David Warner has had a poor Ashes 2023 so far. The 36-year-old, has only managed to accumulate  141 runs in three Tests at an average of just above 23, including one half-century. Warner’s struggles have been largely due to his inability to get off to a good start. His struggles have been compounded by the fact that he has been facing some excellent bowling from England’s bowlers. Stuart Broad has been his tormentor-in-chief. Despite his struggles, Warner remains a key member of the Australian team. He is one of the most experienced batsmen in the side and is a vital part of the team’s plans for winning the Ashes. However, question marks have also been raised over his inclusion in the playing eleven. Now a day before the fourth Ashes Test, Warner shared a post on Instagram that read: “W...

‘If you’re going to just entertain, might as well be a circus’: Geoffrey Boycott slams England’s Bazball before Lord’s Test

England will be looking to level the Ashes series after their defeat in the opening match at Edgbaston when the second Test gets underway at Lord’s on Wednesday. The second Ashes Test is sure to be a closely contested affair. Both teams have a strong chance of winning, and it should be an exciting match to watch. However, England’s ultra-aggressive approach, deemed Bazball, has not gone well with their former legend Geoffrey Boycott, who launched a scathing attack on the Three Lions. In a conversation on the Vaughany and Tuffers Cricket Club podcast, Boycott said that he did enjoy England’s brand of cricket but felt that they had deviated from the primary goal of winning the game. “I enjoyed the cricket, it kept you on the edge of your seat,” Boycott was quoted as saying by Fox Cricket....

‘Ashes will be done and dusted if Australia…’: Glenn McGrath makes bold prediction before Lord’s Test

Australia and England collide in the second Ashes test at Lord’s which starts on Wednesday. Australia won the first match by two wickets after a gripping five-day battle at Edgbaston and thus took an important 1-0 lead in the series. Former Australia legend Glenn McGrath believes that if the Kangaroos win the win the second Test then Ashes will be ‘done and dusted’ and it is game over for England. “The last time a team came from behind to win the Ashes was in 2005, a series I was right in the thick of,” he said while speaking to the BBC. “We were 1-0 up heading into the second Test at Edgbaston, a match I sat out after the infamous incident of treading on the ball in the warm-up. “We lost a thrilling Test by two runs, but I will always maintain that the series would have been won had w...

Pat Cummins’ shares emotional moment after Ashes opener win over England

Australian Test captain Pat Cummins’ heroic late 44 runs took his team to a first Test victory at Edgbaston – one that he celebrated by embracing his father minutes after the winning runs were scored.

The Cummins family has been known to follow their son’s cricketing journey throughout the world. Later after the match, the Australian captain spoke about how he felt lucky that his father and brother were there at Edgbaston to watch and support him. “It was really special, Dad has been here a...

Ben Stokes is well aware of the threat posed by World Test Championship winners Australia but says England have “found something that works” and will not back down from their high-risk, high-reward style of play in the upcoming Ashes series. Stokes and coach Brendon ‘Baz’ McCullum have ushered in a fearless approach that has injected fresh excitement into test cricket with England winning 11 of their last 13 tests under the duo.
