India vs Australia One-off Test: Watch Beth Mooney dismissed in bizarre fashion by Richa Ghosh

It’s Christmas season, after all, and Australia gave India a gift during the One-Off Test at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday when opener Beth Mooney was run out in a bizarre manner. The experienced left-hander, who has been a thorn in India’s flesh many times in the past, was looking in good touch early on in Australia’s second innings. And then came a moment she’d like to forget in the 12th over. Sneh Rana bowled a full ball that Mooney patted to Richa Ghosh at silly point. The Test debutant, who keeps wickets in the shorter formats, bent down low and picked up the ball in one quick motion. Ghosh then released the ball quickly to effect a direct hit. Meanwhile, Mooney had walked out of the crease and didn’t really make a conscious effort to get back as she turned her back to the field...

India vs Australia One-off Test: A chance for hosts to show gap is closing, start of new era for Alyssa Healy’s team

When it comes to challenges in women’s cricket, it doesn’t get bigger than facing Australia. The current holders of both World Cup titles, they are the benchmark for excellence, and have been so for a while. As Harmanpreet Kaur and Co get ready to face them over the next three weeks, it feels like the game is at an interesting crossroads. Can India show the world that the advent of the Women’s Premier League and increased exposure to top-level cricket has helped reduce the gap with Australia? Can Australia be the same dominant force at the international level now that Meg Lanning has officially stepped aside? The one-off Test (the first in 40 years in India between these two sides), followed by three ODIs and three T20Is, will play a part in answering some of those questions. The white-...

India vs England One-Off Test: In Jemimah Rodrigues-Shubha Satheesh century partnership on debut, a study in contrast

Both Jemimah Rodrigues and Shubha Satheesh got their Test caps on Thursday morning at the DY Patil Stadium, but their journey in the game till here couldn’t have been in starker contrast.Jemimah, a prodigy from her days in Mumbai age-group cricket, had already played 113 times for India at the senior level in white-ball cricket. Shubha, a left-field selection to India’s Test squad after impressing in an intra-squad red-ball game last month in Bengaluru, is a relative unknown who was playing her first-ever senior international. Jemimah, at 23, has faced enough highs and lows in her career to perhaps fill a book, while Shubha’s story is only beginning. Every time Jemimah – and her teammates – hit a boundary during the day, the broadcaster’s feed featured her face prominently as part of a ...
