‘Twice in 12 months’: Former India opener slams Sanju Samson’s dismissal patterns, ‘rare for top-class batters in T20s’ | Cricket News

3 min readUpdated: Feb 1, 2026 10:36 AM IST Even a much-awaited homecoming could not save Sanju Samson from the perils of poor form. On Saturday, the Kerala batter slumped to his fifth successive failure in the T20I series against New Zealand in Thiruvananthapuram, much to the disappointment of his fans in his hometown. Continuing to display his wobbly batting technique, Samson only managed a thick outside edge down to the deep third fielder as he attempted to hoick a six across the line. Falling for six, Samson totalled only 46 runs in five outings, the poorest returns for an Indian opener in a five-match T20I series. Samson went past his own dubious low for India exactly 12 months ago when the repeated short-ball ploy proved to be his undoing against England in five games, where he managed only 51 runs. Former India opener Aakash Chopra slammed Samson’s shaky batting technique and said that the repetitive dismissal pattern was unusual at the international level.

WATCH: Babar Azam livid after dismissal in BBL match, hits boundary cushion on way out | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Pakistan’s Babar Azam wasn’t in a good mood after his dismissal in the Big Bash League in the match against the Sydney Thunders, even striking the boundary cushions with his bat as he made his way back. The source of Babar’s frustration wasn’t clear but it might have had something to do with his strike partner Steven Smith turning down a single when the Pakistan batter had called for it. The incident happened in the last ball of the 11th over when Smith turned down a single from Babar in order to be on strike for the next over when he opted to call for The Power Surge which is ‘a two-over period during which the fielding team is allowed only two players outside the inner fielding circle. The batting side can call for this at any point from the 11th over of their innings,’ according to BBL rules. Smith would end up smashing four back to back sixes in the next over and raced to 88 runs as the Sixers were 141/0 after 12 …

“You Can’t Win Games” Joe Root’s Defends Jamie Smith’s Abysmal Dismissal

“You Can’t Win Games” Joe Root’s Defends Jamie Smith’s Abysmal Dismissal

Published by Webster

England batter Joe Root has defended teammate Jamie Smith despite being criticised for his dismissal during the final test of the Ashes 2025/26 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The wicketkeeper’s reckless dismissal late on day two of the New Year’s Ashes Test at the SCG has drawn criticism among the cricketing fraternity. England has been well balanced at 5/323 with less than ten minutes remaining before lunch when Steve Smith fell into an obvious trap. Facing Australian part-timer Marnus Labuschagne, Jamie Smith backed away to a short delivery and hit it straight to deep cover, where six fielders were stationed on the boundary. Joe Root scored a commanding 160 runs in the first innings, said Smith’s intent was to maximise scoring before Australia took the second new ball, rather than simply seeing out the session. “You go into a second new ball and you saw how it reacted. It was completely different,” Root said after stumps. “It was about maximising that ten-over period ahead of facing that new ball. You eke out an extra 20 …

Aakash Chopra decodes Shubman Gill’s dismissal: ‘He is feeling slightly obliged…Samson used to score runs at a strike rate of 175’ | Cricket News

Indian T20I vice-captain on Tuesday fell after scoring a boundary. He showed attacking intent against Lungi Ngidi by charging down the wicket, but could not get the shot right. It is not how Gill historically has approached his T20 innings, be it for Gujarat Titans or India. He tends to take his time and accelerate as the innings progress. Decoding this new Gill approach, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, because the player who opened before him, which was Sanju Samson, was playing an ultra-aggressive brand of cricket, Gill is trying to emulate that method. “What is Shubman Gill trying to do? I ask this question because it seems like he doesn’t play like this, but is trying to play like that. Why would he be doing that? It seems like he is too hasty to hit. The way he got out in Cuttack, he hit a four off the first ball, and then he jumped out and hit the next ball,” Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

Soccer-Club Brugge players caught off guard by coach’s dismissal

Published by Parlour News

BRUGES, Belgium, – Club Brugge captain Hans Vanaken said he and his teammates had been caught off guard by the sudden dismissal of coach Nicky Hayen on Monday, two days before their Champions League clash against Arsenal. HT Image Hayen was sacked after the club lost to St Truiden at the weekend and slipped into third place in the Belgian league. He was immediately replaced by Croatian Ivan Leko, whose club KAA Gent were unaware of his decision to leave until they read about it in the media. Vanaken said Club Brugge players had learnt after Monday training of the coach’s dismissal. “A surprise for the squad,” he told a press conference on Tuesday. “Nobody expected that. There wasn’t really a reason or anything we thought was a reason. Look, the board has made a decision and it’s up to the players to accept that. We know that in football, tough decisions are made sometimes. “Firing a coach is always unpleasant. Secretly, we’re all convinced that things could have got better in the coming months.” …

‘Oh Harry!’: Michael Vaughan in disbelief, Stuart Broad raises questions as ex-England stars react to Brook’s dismissal | Cricket News

Published by Webster

England were off to a nightmarish start in the second Ashes Test with Mitchell Starc sending Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope back quickly and making the pink ball talk early. They were then brought back into the game by Joe Root and Zak Crawley and Harry Brook seemed to be doing the same after the latter’s dismissal. However, Brook’s steady stand with Root ended in a way that left some of England’s former stars visibly frustrated in commentary boxes. With his partnership with Root on 54 off 69, Brook went for a big booming drive off Mitchell Starc with minimal footwork second ball of the 40th over, which was pitched up just outside the off stump. It took his outside edge and darted to Australia captain Steve Smith’s face and the latter did well to hold on. Former England captain Michael Vaughan was on commentary for BBC’s Test Match Special, who put out a video of his reaction to the moment in which he can be seen leaning back with his hands folded and a …

Kuldeep Yadav bowled the best ball to beat me in drift and my hands followed: Tristan Stubbs on his dismissal | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Tristan Stubbs had little idea that Kuldeep Yadav’s best delivery of the day would come off the first ball of a new spell and the South African admitted that his Delhi Capitals teammate made him dance to his tune despite having faced him many times in the nets. Stubbs had hit Kuldeep for a couple of sixes and was one short of half-ton when the spinner tossed one up and it drifted in the air and started deviating after pitching. Stubbs literally moved his hands towards the ball without any foot movement, resulting in a regulation catch for KL Rahul at first slip. “I have faced him quite a few times. This was the first ball of his new spell and I think the best one he has bowled,” Stubbs, who scored 49 off 113 balls, said at the end of the day’s play. When asked if he wanted to steer it past the slips for a single, the batter explained his dismissal and gave Kuldeep full credit for setting him up. A crucial moment! …
