If they are coached and managed correctly, they are going to be fine, says Michael Vaughan on England | Cricket News

Despite England staring at another Ashes series loss Down Under which will mean they won’t be able to get hold of the Urn which they let go off in 2021, former captain Michael Vaughan has warned against wholesale changes to the team. Australia, thanks to a fine unbeaten century from Travis Head on Day 3 of the third Test at Adelaide Oval, have a firm grip on the match with their lead currently standing at 356 runs and six wickets in hand. The Bazball approach which England embraced with an eye on the ongoing series has failed to deliver with their batting approach coming under intense scrutiny right through the series. A defeat in Adelaide would mean fourth successive Test series loss in Australia, where England are without a win in 17 straight Tests. Each of England’s previous Ashes defeats on Australian soil has brought out plenty of changes. However, Vaughan said the England and Wales Cricket Board shouldn’t take a similar route this time despite the series loss. “English cricket often works in four-year …

In what can only be described as yet another ‘Peak Bengaluru moment’ to go with several that the city keeps producing, an auto driver was pictured displaying a signage which stated that he was “a professional table-tennis coach.” A post on Wednesday morning from a Bengaluru-based Human Resources professional has since garnered eyeballs. As it turns out, Gurumurthy N, the auto driver, is a former table tennis player and a certified coach, with a LinkedIn page to boot. A certified coach “I have coached the Olympian Archana Kamath when she was a member of the U14 Karnataka team in 2012,” Gurumurthy N tells The Bridge in a telephonic conversation. Having watched his uncle, a coach, play the sport, Gurumurthy picked up the paddle as an 8-year-old. While he did play tournaments across the state, he found his calling in coaching and made a swift transition. Thereafter, armed with an ITTF Level-1 and 2 coaching certifications, he found a coaching job at Tenvic Sports, a company founded by the former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble. After …

Two-time Olympic medallist Neeraj Chopra announced that he will be coached by javelin legend Jan Železný, who currently holds the javelin world record. Železný will replace Dr Klaus Bartonietz, who was with Neeraj Chopra since before the coronavirus pandemic. Neeraj’s association with Bartonietz had led to two Olympic and two world championship medals. Neeraj Chopra has long spoken of his admiration for Jan Železný, who was the gold medallist at the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games besides having five of the top ten best throws of all time. The Czechia legend broke the javelin throw world record on four occasions en route to claiming the current undisputed mark of 98.48m, in Germany, in 1996. “Growing up, I admired Jan’s technique and precision and spent a lot of time watching videos of him. He was the best in the sport for so many years, and I believe that working with him will be invaluable because our throwing styles are similar, and his knowledge is unmatched. It’s an honour to have Jan by my side as …
