AUS A vs IND A, 2nd Unofficial Test: Tensions flare after umpires deny Prasidh Krishna’s ball change request | Cricket News

Published by Webster

India A pacer Prasidh Krishna lost his cool after on-field umpires denied his request to change the ball on Day 2 of the second unofficial Test against Australia A at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. In the 28th over of Australia A’s innings, Krishna, dissatisfied with the condition of the ball, approached umpire Gerard Abood to request a change. However, Abood, undeterred by Krishna’s concerns, signaled for play to continue. Former Australian cricketer Rob Quiney, on air, noted that the India A seamer looked “unhappy.” “They’re talking about a bit of potential mud on the ball; making sure it’s okay to get it out of the seam,” Quiney observed. “I’m not sure if it’s an aesthetics thing.” Krishna’s dissatisfaction grew more apparent as the over continued. After Marcus Harris, Australia A’s top scorer, defended the ball back to him on the following delivery, Krishna aggressively threw the ball back towards Harris, resulting in two overthrows. “It was a bit of frustration, and it was interesting in the buildup to that ball when the ball …

The match, in all likelihood, is set to end on Day 3 at the MCG. Rahul’s horror-show and Ruturaj departs Shortly after Ruturaj Gaikwad is trapped onto 11 by McAndrew, KL Rahul has suffered an epic brain-fade. He has negotiated the seamers adeptly for a considerable period, only to watch a ball from spinner Corey Rocchiccioli roll onto his leg-stump. That is an atrocious way to get out. It was Rocchiccioli’s first delivery in this innings. KL Rahul b …

India A vs Australia A (IND A vs AUS A) LIVE Cricket Score Card HIGHLIGHTS: The second unofficial Test between India A and Australia A got underway at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday. We take you through the major highlights from Day 1: KL Rahul fails litmus Test, Easwaran flounders again KL Rahul’s early summer challenge ended tepidly when he was castled by Scott Boland in only three balls into the second over. Rahul has been pushed back to the top of the order with Rohit Sharma set to miss India’s opening Test. Rahul’s blip did not benefit Abhimanyu Easwaran, the other contender for the opening slot, as he fell for a four-ball duck in the first over. Easwaran, who entered the Australia tour on the back of superb scoring form in domestic cricket, has failed to live upto expectations in the series. The duck followed scores of 7 and 12 in the previous game. But more concerningly, Easwaran’s technique came under the scanner as he attempt to wriggle out of a short-pitched …

IND vs AUS: Scott Boland keeps his KL Rahul word, ‘gets on top’ of India opener in 3 balls at MCG | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The mind games have begun in Australia and pacer Scott Boland has struck first blood ahead of India’s gruelling summer challenge Down Under in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Limbering up to resume his Test duties alongside senior pacers Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins, Boland made his intentions clear before the second unofficial Test against India A in Melbourne by handing a challenge to India batter KL Rahul. Rahul, under a scanner after losing his spot in the middle-order for the second and third Tests of a harrowing series defeat to New Zealand at home, had a point to prove while flying out early to join the India A squad. Furthermore, the Karnataka batter was pushed back to open as an audition for the vacant slot in captain Rohit Sharma’s potential absence in the first Test at Perth. Boland’s words on the eve of the second India A-Australia A contest at the Melbourne Cricket Ground would have put Rahul on his toes. “I was lucky to bowl to him in a Test over …

‘Ball-changing controversy was squashed before India’s BGT arrival’: Warner seeks more clarity on Mackay incident | Cricket News

Published by Webster

David Warner has called on Cricket Australia to provide more information about why umpires changed the ball used by India A in a match in Mackay on Sunday which led to a heated exchange between wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan and an on-field umpire. The ball used by India A while defending a 224-run target was changed before the final day’s play in the four-day match against Australia A, with umpire Shawn Craig telling the Indian players on the field before the start of play: “When you scratch it, we change the ball. “There will be no more discussion, let’s play. This is not a discussion, you will be playing with that ball.” A miffed India A wicket-keeper Ishan Kishan, returning to the national team radar after a year of turmoil, could be heard telling Craig that it “is a very stupid decision” to play with the new ball, to which the umpire replied: “Excuse me, you’ll be on report for dissent. That’s inappropriate behaviour. Because of your actions we changed the ball.” Not much was to …

India ‘A’ denies tampering allegations: ‘Maybe a nail from side boards brushed it’ | Cricket News

The India A side currently playing their Australian counterparts, has denied all allegations made against them of scratching the ball during the first unofficial Test against Australia A at Mackay in Queensland. A source in the India A team said that the scratch might have occurred due to the ball hitting the side-board or could have happened if it struck a nail near the boundary ropes, but was categorical in saying that no player tampered with the ball while bowling with it. “Our players didn’t tamper or scratch the ball. There were three marks on the ball which was changed. It was like a nail would have brushed it near the ground or the marks would have happened near the boundary rope or it must have brushed the boards. Our players had nothing to do with any allegations and our players told this to the umpire too,” a source within the India A team informed. The final day of the first unofficial Test started off on a wrong note when the Indian players surrounded umpire …

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: In Australia, Prithvi Shaw becomes a cautionary tale of rushed Test debut for batting prodigy Sam Konstas | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Prithvi Shaw’s fall from grace seems to have become an example for cricketers in Australia, with a renowned coach warning against a rushed debut for 19-year-old Sam Konstas. Neil D’Costa, the batting coach who guided Michael Clarke and Philip Hughes to Test debuts, has warned that ‘picking Sam Konstas for an international debut against India could do the youngster’s career more harm than good’, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Australia are searching for Usman Khawaja’s opening partner, given that David Warner retired at the start of the year and Steve Smith will return to the No.4 position. Nathan McSweeney, who made 39 for Australia A against India A on Friday, in the fray but there have been speculations that the selectors could put faith in Konstas. Only 19, Konstas is regarded as one of Australian cricket’s brightest talents at the moment. However, D’Costa said: “He could be a good player for 100 Tests. If they put him in now, he might only play 10 Tests.” D’Costa, who is Marnus Labuschagne’s batting coach, went on …

At stumps on Day 2, the two southpaws had taken India A to 208 for 2, giving the team a 120-run lead over Australia A. India A had a shaky start to their second innings, losing openers Abhimanyu Easwaran (12) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (5) early. Captain Gaikwad was dismissed by Fergus O’Neill, while Easwaran was run out following a mix-up. After a tap to the leg side off Brendan Doggett, Easwaran attempted a quick single but was caught short by a direct hit from Jordan Buckingham.

India A seamer Mukesh Kumar ran through Australia A’s batting order, picking up 6 for 46 to restrict the hosts to 195 runs in their first innings. Despite his efforts, Australia A secured a crucial first-innings lead of 88 runs. In response to India A’s first-innings score of 107, the home side ended Day 1 on 4/99 at stumps. The first wicket to fall was 19-year-old Sam Konstas, who was dismissed for a duck in the opening over, caught behind off Mukesh Kumar on the third ball of the innings.

Marcus Harris fought hard for his 17 but was caught in the slips off the bowling of Prasidh Krishna. Mukesh Kumar then removed Beau Webster (37), keeping Australia A under pressure. On Day 2, the overnight batters, captain Nathan McSweeney (39) and Cooper Connolly (37), resumed positively, putting on 51 runs for the fifth wicket, the first fifty-run stand of the …
