‘I just wanted to get away from the guard’: Lachie Burtt- The beer snake man explains on what he was doing at sight screen which caused disruption of play in Adelaide | Cricket News

Lachie Burtt, often now referred to as the beer snake man, disturbed the game in Adelaide Oval on Friday during the second test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy by running with a beer snake (a pile of beer cups stacked together, making a snake-like figure) near the sight screen throws light on the incident. “In my head at that time, I just wanted to get away from the guard, so I saw the space and hopped over the tiny white rope,” he told 9News. “I didn’t really have time to stop and think what I was doing right now and what the effects were going to be because of it,” said Lachie Burtt. “I did feel a bit silly, it wasn’t the right thing … sorry Marnus.” “It’s probably not the right thing to do, but no one got hurt,” Burtt said. Burtt felt that the small hiccup didn’t matter much as the game went on after the incident without being impacted “I didn’t jump the fence or anything. It was one ball, and Marnus …

Australia expose Indian batting’s fallibilities, but are not entirely compact themselves headline into Gabba, as series poised at 1-1 | Cricket News

“Can’t wait to get you at the Gabba,” was the most viral takeaway from India’s triumphant tour to Australia in 2021. It was the sledge from Australia’s then captain Tim Paine that went pear shaped for him, and his team, as it was at Gabba, the ground in Brisbane, that India clinched a famous series win. It is to that historic arena that India will now head out for the third Test, hoping it receives them with open-arms again. The series now stands 1-1 after India’s loss in little over two days at Adelaide. What one feared might happen at Perth transpired in Adelaide. It raises the fear whether Perth was an aberration and Adelaide the norm. But Perth has taught us not just about Indians’s bouncebackability, but also about Australia’s iffiness, too. These are essentially two competitive teams performing below-par in their batting, and possessing the traits to be inconsistent. Not only has India had batting collapses in recent times, the Australian Test team too has suffered a few. When the ball moves around, …

Image Source : AP India suffered a 10-wicket hammering at the hands of Australia in Adelaide in the pink-ball Test match Australia stormed back into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a scintillating 10-wicket win. The pink-ball clash was always going to be a tricky one for the visitors since they haven’t played one in more than two and a half years and under lights in helpful conditions, Australian bowlers proved to be too good for India’s flailing batting line-up. Travis Head was the star with the bat for the Australians, smashing a run-a-ball 140 but more than the bowling, the lack of defiance and accountability from the batters in both innings probably cost India the match. The loss had serious repercussions on India’s position on the World Test Championship (WTC) points table as the two-time finalists dropped a couple of places from the top to the third. India’s PCT reduced to 57.29 after the defeat and now their qualification for the final has taken a serious hit. On the other hand, Australia after a blip in Perth …

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: With the documentary The boy from Macksville on the life of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes, who lost his life after a ball hit him ten years ago, releasing post the end of the opening day of the second Pink Ball Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at Adelaide Oval, Hughes’s former team-mate Tom Cooper has shared about the tragic moment at Sydney Cricket Ground. The then 25-year-old Hughes, who was about to turn 26 in two days, was struck on the neck during a Sheffield Shield match on November 25, 2014 and had breathed his last in hospital two days later. “He sort of swung around and at first I thought he looked at me. I was waiting for his cheeky grin but … yeah. I guess at that moment, no-one had any idea of the severity of what everyone had just witnessed. Pretty quickly we knew it was a bit more serious and he wasn’t just going to get up, but we still didn’t know what had actually happened. It felt …

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Schedule, Live Streaming, Date, Pitch Report, Weather Rohit Sharma’s India will take on Pat Cummins’ Australia in the second of a five-match Test series in a pink ball Test at the Adelaide. India leads the series 1-0 thanks to a thumping win at Perth by 295 runs. However, Australia has not lost a pink ball Test in Adelaide they won all seven games. India famously got bowled out for 36 in the last time they played a pink ball Test in Australia. However, the side has momentum with them this time around and the Australian batting order has shown fragility in recent times and also has lost their last day-night Test in Gabba against West Indies earlier this year which is their first defeat in a pink ball match. Here’s a look at all the details India predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana Player to watch out for: Rohit Sharma …

Rohit Sharma confirms KL Rahul as opener for Adelaide Test: ‘I’ll bat somewhere….’ | Cricket News

On the eve of India’s pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide, captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed that KL Rahul will partner Yashasvi Jaiswal as opener in the pink-ball affair. “KL will open (in Adelaide). The way he batted and his partnership with Jaiswal was instrumental in that first test win. The way he has batted outside India, he deserves it. I will bat somewhere in the middle. It was a fairly simple decision. Personally, it wasn’t easy (as a batsman) but for the team, it was an easy decision to make,” Rohit told reporters in Adelaide on Thursday. The 37-year-old Rohit, who has arguably been India’s leading Test since the inception of the World Test Championship in 2019, has been under scrutiny ever since the team’s 0-3 home series whitewash against New Zealand in November. Rohit only crossed fifty once in six innings the series and finished with 93 runs. His average of 15.16 was the worst of his Test career in a series where he played at least three matches. #INDvAUS #CricketTwitter India captain …

Border Gavaskar Trophy: ‘It should be good for the remainder of the Test’: Pitch curator on the rain affected second India Australia Test match at Adelaide Oval | Cricket News

With the Rohit Sharma led Indian team going into the second Pink Ball Test in the Border Gavaskar Trophy on December 6 having a 1-0 lead in the series, the spotlight will be on the pitch as well Adelaide weather for the opening day. While India were bowled out for 36 in the Adelaide Test during the 2020-21 Border Gavaskar Trophy, where they bounced back to win the series 2-1, the visitors would hope to carry on from where they left in Perth after the 295-run win over Australia. With a record crowd expected on a rain-expected opening day at the Adelaide Oval, pitch curator Damian Hough rates that the pitch will be good for the Test. “Friday looks like it could be thunderstorms. I’m not sure exactly on the timing of those storms coming through, but we’re expecting to pull covers on Friday. Hopefully it clears out on Saturday morning, then it should be good for the remainder of the Test,” said Hough while speaking with cricket.co.au. While Australia have played in 12 of …

India vs PM’s XI: How cricket has become the Australian premier’s unwritten perk over the years | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Australian Prime Ministers don’t wade into cricket. Their toes, it would seem, are permanently sunk into the soft, fine sand on the beach that cricket resembles, while rougher political tides ebb and flow all around. Not merely because the Indian team was camped in Canberra, and paid a visit to the PM Anthony Albanese, but Cricket and the Australian PM are entwined deeper than what normal statecraft, would afford. It’s the unofficial distraction, a PM’s unwritten perk. Back in 2018-19 former PM Scott Morrison had a private WhatsApp group called ‘Legends’, and added Pat Cummins and then coach Justin Langer, onto it. He did his best to gee them up with, ‘good luck, go get ’em today’ messages, according to an Amazon documentary. Tim Paine earlier, received texts of encouragement from Morrison too. But cricket has famously wooed every inhabitant of ‘The Lodge’, the official PM residence. Big challenge ahead for the PM’s XI at Manuka Oval this week against an amazing Indian side. ⁰⁰ But as I said to PM @narendramodi, I’m backing the …

Border Gavaskar Trophy | ‘The panic in Australian ranks is palpable’: Sunil Gavaskar ahead of Adelaide Test | Cricket News

Border Gavaskar Trophy: With India going into the Adelaide Pink Ball Test match in the Border Gavaskar trophy with a 1-0 lead in the five-Test series and with reports of a rift in the Australian dressing room, Indian legend and former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar understands that there is a panic in the Australian ranks and has called pacer Josh Hazelwood’s injury as a mystery ahead of the second Test starting December 6. “The panic in the Australian ranks is palpable, what with former players calling for heads to be chopped off and some even hinting at cracks in the Australian team after Josh Hazlewood’s media interview at the end of the third day’s play, where he suggested that it was up to the batters to now do something. Now, a few days later, Hazlewood is out of the second Test and possibly the series too with a supposed side strain. Strange, since nobody had noticed anything wrong with Hazlewood at that media conference. Mystery, mystery — the like of which used to be common …

India vs Australia 2nd Test: Cheteshwar Pujara wants KL Rahul to continue opening with Yashasvi Jaiswal; wants Rohit Sharma to bat at No. 3 | Cricket News

Published by Webster

With regular skipper Rohit Sharma returning to the fold, he is likely to open the innings against Australia in the 2nd Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide. Veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara, however, feels that due to KL Rahul’s decent form in the 1st Test, the Karnataka batter should continue to open. “I think, for some reason if we can carry on with the same batting order, like KL and Yashasvi to open, Rohit could come in at three, and Shubman could come in at five,” Pujara said in a chat with ESPNcricinfo. “If Rohit wants to open, KL should bat at No. 3. Nothing later than that. I think he has to bat top of the order, because it suits his game really well. I hope we don’t tinker around with that,” he added. With Shubman Gill set to return to the playing XI following his recovery from the thumb injury that ruled him out of the 1st Test, Pujara explains why the batter would be better suited for the No. 5 role. …
