1st of all greetings to our readers and viewers cricket is our passion and we all like to talk about this game and like to watch it.There are a lot of cricket news of this week but we will talk about 5 cricket news of this week.
Let's start our JOURNEY.
1.Australia's lowest total in T20 history
Australia played 5 Match T20 series against Bangladesh at their home and they were thrashed by Bangladesh's spinners.1st they lost the series in just 3 matches and managed to win 4th match as we wrote in our previous blog but in the final game they were humiliated by home side.Once again target wasn't too big but the pressure getting better at them.They recorded their lowest T20 total in history of 62 and got all out in fewest balls.Australia lost 5th consecutive T20 series including the home series against India but last 2 series against West Indies and Bangladesh exposed them really badly.They have won just 2 matches out of 10 games and it was their batting which let them down completely.They have managed to win only game in West Indies courtesy of Finch and Marsh partnership and some unreal death bowling by Mitchell Starc against Andre Russell where he saved 10 runs in last over against him.
When they came in Bangladesh there was another test was waiting them and they failed in it badly and recorded their lowest total in final game.Mitchell was only good batsman having average of 37 in 10 games next best was 13 of Moises Henriques and that should sum up the situation of them.
Yes they were missing their key players but these are the top performers of Big Bash and that was a huge opportunity for them to showcase their talent but they failed badly.Australia has to answer alot of questions before the World Cup especially in batting department and Steve Smith is already agreed to leave the World Cup for the preparation of Ashes.On the other side Bangladesh sent the clear message that don't underestimate them in World Cup.
2.India Vs England
Blockbuster test series has started in England but that was disappointing end of 1st test due to rain because at final day India required 159 runs and England required 9 wickets but that was a complete wash out which was unacceptable for cricket fans because it has become the pattern in every cricket series.ICC should take some action to avoid this in future.The royal battle between Virat and James Anderson has started there also Anderson got Virat Kohli on a golden duck in the 1st innings.Anderson dismissed him for the 1st time till 2014 home series and now it's upto Kohli let's see how he replies.
3.Moin Inclusion and Archar out of Action
2nd test will be in Lord's and England didn't play a spinner in 1st test but now they have called Moeen Ali to the side and I think he will be the part of playing eleven he has dismissed Rahane 7 times, Virat 5 times and Jadeja 4 times so it will be a mouth watering contest.
Another big blow for England because Jofra Archar is out for the rest of the year due to injury so he won't be available for World Cup and Ashes also.It will be a huge loss for England because he has been superb from the start of his career and you always need a bowler like him in Australian conditions.
4.Pakistan Vs West Indies
West Indies has announced his test squad Shanon Gabriel and Darren Bravo are missing out.Gabriel due to injury and Bravo withdraw himself due to bubble restrictions and young pacer Chemar Holder is back.It will be a big series for their captain Kraig Brahwaite and could be a fascinating battle if pitches are good.Both teams are having a good fast bowling attack which can lead them to a victory and both teams will be wanting to start their journey in WTC in good way.
5.Khaya Zondo alleged De Villiers
This is another shocking news coming from South Africa as Khaya Zondo alleged Ab de Villiers for discrimination.He said that in the tour of India in 2015 Khaya Zondo was in the squad and Dean Elger came in team late and got opportunity in final ODI and I had lost the respect for him after this incident.1st right for Zondo to play but De Villiers got Elger into the playing eleven.So this matter needs a bit attention.
