Proud Irish visitors celebrate a historic victory

Image
Greetings from Ireland. Dublin, the home base of Cricket Ireland, is 7,520 kilometers away from Abu Dhabi, the site of their men’s team’s T20I matches against South Africa on Friday and Sunday. The farthest distance you could go and still remain in Ireland is 644 kilometers. Which would take you from the northernmost point, Malin Head in County Donegal, to the southernmost point, Mizen Head in County Cork. Of course, Abu Dhabi was a long way from home, especially for Ireland. However, they were the official home team. Why? due to the fact that they must rent venues from clubs. When they play in Ireland because they lack a permanent home there. As a result and this is strange. They spend less money traveling to a very different region to play more than eleven times the length of their nation. The strangest part of it all was that, in the two weeks prior to Friday. South Africa had played three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Afghanistan at Sharjah. Which is located around 165 kilo...

Dwayne Bravo retires from all cricket

Image
Dwayne Bravo, whose injury ended his CPL 2024, has announced his retirement from all cricket-related activities. He is the all-time top wicket-taker in T20 history. Bravo retired from the IPL last year. Bravo posted on Instagram on Thursday (September 26) to announce his retirement. “21 years as a professional cricketer — it’s been an incredible journey, filled with many highs and a few lows,” Bravo wrote. The main reason I was able to fulfill my dream was that I gave you my all at every turn. Even though I really want to keep our relationship going, it’s time to accept reality. “My body can no longer withstand the pain, the breakdowns, and the strain, but my mind wants to keep going. I can’t put myself in a situation where I could disappoint my supporters, my teammates, or the teams I play for. https://finebook247.in/ Thus, I humbly declare my official resignation from the sport. The Champion says goodbye for now. The legendary West Indian cricket player had already left the national ...

India looks to extend its record home run streak, and Green Park faces a viability test.

Image
In the Green Park Stadium meeting room on Thursday, Shakib Al Hasan was the center of attention for twenty-six minutes. To finish his Test career, the experienced Bangladesh all-rounder casually revealed details of his chat with the selectors and the board chairman. The most decorated cricketer in the nation wants to host a farewell party in Mirpur, but given the current political climate, it might not go as planned. That means that the Kanpur Test, which begins on Friday, might be his last. Another left-arm spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, would be waiting to play his first international match at home in his seven-year career. While it is unclear whether Shakib will end his Test career at Green Park. They would both need to hope that the state association has put in place enough precautions against the forecast rains over the next three days in order to anticipate a spectacular event, whether it be a welcome or farewell, on the anticipated spin-friendly track of Green Park. Green Park Green Pa...

Sri Lanka leads 1-0 thanks to a spin from Prabath Jayasuriya.

Image
In just twenty-two balls, Sri Lanka completed the first Test match against New Zealand in Galle on Monday morning. Securing a 1–0 series lead. After taking the final two wickets of New Zealand’s innings to dismiss them for 211. Prabath Jayasuriya completed a fifer that enabled the hosts to win by 63 runs. The game was evenly poised with two wickets remaining, and on a surface that was starting to collapse. New Zealand needed to win by 68 runs. The visitors were still hopeful, though, because Rachin Ravindra had performed admirably in the given circumstances on the penultimate day and was unbeaten at stumps on 91. Regretfully, Prabath Jayasuriya’s delivery, which pitched on legstump and straightened, trapped the southpaw on the back leg in the second over of the morning, thereby putting an end to it. He was beyond saving by even a review. A few balls later, the spinner almost had William O’Rourke, but this time, the review wasn’t in Sri Lanka’s favor. Still, the opposition was only goin...

Giving Taskin Ahmed three swift wickets and Hasan Mahmud the first five-wicket haul of any Bangladeshi pacer in India. Even so, the lower order of India, spearheaded by R Ashwin’s 113 and Ravindra Jadeja’s 86, turned in a stunning effort. Adding 232 for the final four wickets after being reduced to 144/6. Bangladesh’s response was beset early on as India’s Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah struck first as they went into lunch on 26/3. When Ravindra Jadeja poked at a delivery outside off. While this was going on, R Ashwin took one off Hasan Mahmud for a four, and Akash Deep quickly followed suit, hitting two fours off the same bowler in an over to help India surpass 350. Another fortunate moment came when Akash misplayed a pass to Taskin, only for Shakib Al Hasan to make the catch. After that, he hit a textbook off drive and gave Mahmud, who had a costly start on the second ...

Australia has many things depending on its journey to CT 2025.

Image
In exactly two months’ time, Australia would have completed an entire year as men’s ODI world champions for the sixth time in history. No cricket fan in India of course has forgotten the events of November 19, 2023, quite yet. But the last 10 months since that incredible evening in Ahmedabad have slipped by so inconspicuously for the Australian ODI team, that you’d think some sections of the cricket audience in Australia might need a reminder. Especially since we are in September, and it’s finals season for all the major football codes around the country. But it’s also a reflection of the times that ODI cricket isn’t as popular as it once was. Maybe it’s because there have been so many other cricket competitions held in the interim. Including another World Cup with a T20 format. Australia Only the fourth One-Day International (ODI) will be played by Australia. After they regained their crown last November when they depart on Thursday, September 19. While Pat Cummins prepares for the...

This is a 134% increase over the USD 1 million that Australia received for winning the competition in 2023. The ICC said on Tuesday that the total prize pool of USD 7.95 million is likewise 225% greater than the USD 2.45 million up for grabs in 2023. The ICC decided in June 2023 to give women the same prize money as men for their individual events, and this forthcoming competition will be the first to do so. Earlier this year, USD 2.45 million was given to India, the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup winners. The men’s T20 World Cup had 20 participating sides compared to the women’s event’s 10, and the discrepancy between that sum and the USD 2.34 million that the women champions would receive is due to the difference in the number of matches played by teams over the two events.
