India vs England, 5th Test: Ravichandran Ashwin a victim of circumstances or conditions? | Cricket News – Times of India

Ashwin finds himself out in the cold againThey say the more things change, the more they stay the same. One can apply that theory to the way Ravichandran Ashwin's spot becomes so dispensable every time India play in an away Test in SENA countries. Like the previous four Tests in the series against England in the UK, contested last year, he was left out again as India chose a four-pronged seam attack and the lone spinner's spot went to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja. Former England captain Michael Vaughan tweeted his disgust in one sentence: "No @ashwinravi99!!!Ridiculous." No @ashwinravi99 !!!! Ridiculous .. #ENGvIND— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) 1656671320000Former England off-spinner and allrounder Moeen Ali had told TOI last week about how the conditions in Edgbaston would be ...

Moeen Ali open to England Test comeback for Pakistan tour | Cricket News – Times of India

NOTTINGHAM (United Kingdom): Moeen Ali has revealed he would be willing to end his retirement from Test cricket if England ask him to tour Pakistan later this year. Moeen ended his 64-cap Test career last September after admitting he found it hard to stay motivated for the five-day form of the sport. But the 34-year-old all-rounder has been impressed by new England coach Brendon McCullum's impact during the current Test series against New Zealand. During a commentary stint on BBC's Test Match Special on Saturday, Moeen confirmed he would be ready to tour Pakistan this winter. "When, or if, (England head coach) Baz McCullum wants me, I'll definitely play in Pakistan," he said.

Moeen Ali’s OBE about more than ‘runs and wickets’ | Cricket News – Times of India

LONDON: England all-rounder Moeen Ali has insisted his recognition in the Queen's Birthday Honours List is about far more than "runs and wickets". When sportsmen or women are named in one of the British and Commonwealth honours lists presided over by Queen Elizabeth II, who is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee this week, it is usually largely in recognition of a successful on-field career. And while the 34-year-old Moeen, who on Wednesday was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE), has made 225 appearances for England in all formats during a 16-year professional career, the dashing Worcestershire batsman and off-spinner has also been a trailblazer for the Asian community in Britain. A Birmingham-born cricketer of Pakistani heritage, Moeen has rarely been shy of proclai...

IPL 2022: Delhi Capitals lost to Chennai Super Kings by 91 runs, playoff chances take a hit

David Warner glared at Nitin Menon as he walked past him, livid that the umpire’s call didn’t go his way. Maheesh Theekshana’s leg-before appeal was very confident and the DRS showed that Menon was right. Delhi Capitals desperately needed two points from this game to keep their playoffs hopes alive and against Chennai Super Kings’ 208/6, Warner was the team’s best bet. The batsman’s anger captured the frustration of a failed reverse sweep attempt. In the end, DC folded up for 117 to lose by 91 runs, a serious blow for them with just three group matches remaining. For CSK, they will take this win and hope against hope. Connoisseur’s cricket Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway batting in a partnership is connoisseur’s cricket.

IPL 2022: Concerned that different types of bowlers are getting Virat Kohli out, says Ian Bishop | Cricket News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Virat Kohli has not been able to score fluently in the IPL this season and it is a matter of concern that he is getting out to different types of bowlers, observed former West Indies pacer Ian Bishop. Kohli has managed just 175 runs with a top score of 58 at a strike rate of just 111.09, which is the third lowest among batters with at least 150 runs this season. On Wednesday, Kohli was cleaned up by Mooen Ali after a laboured 30 off 33 balls and Bishop said he is concerned about Kohli's struggles against spin, especially off-spin. "For a while, for 10 or 15 runs, he wasn't even going at a run-a-ball, or he was just going at a run-a-ball," Bishop said on ESPNcricinfo's 'T20 Time Out'. "He didn't get ahead, and there wasn't much intent. He hit one (six) over extra-cover off the...

The quartet of Mahipal Lomror, who smashed a 27-ball 42, skipper Faf du Plessis (38 off 22), Virat Kohli (30 off 33) and Dinesh Karthik (26 not out off 17) did well to lift RCB to 173 for 8.

IPL 2022: How Moeen Ali has Virat Kohli’s number

Moeen Ali has clean bowled Virat Kohli in the past, even in Tests with his big-turning loopy off breaks. Kohli has tried to cover drive on stretched front foot and has been bowled once in a Test in Chennai. This time around, since the ball had been turning decently on the Pune surface, Kohli tried to wrist it with the turn to the on side. But he missed it completely. It spun in sharp from outside off stump to go through the bat-pad-gap and disturb the furniture. Moeen pumped his fist and Kohli had one of those rueful looks at the pitch as he walked away. He had tried to cut a delivery outside off that had gone on straight and was beaten. Then one spun sharply past his pads for a wide. The pitch was helping turn and as soon as Moeen got his line right by starting it from outside off stum...
