Published by Webster

England vs Zimbabwe One-Off Test, Day 2, Live Updates© AFP England vs Zimbabwe One-Off Test, Day 2, Live Updates: England will be resuming the Day 2 of the ongoing One-Off Test against Zimbabwe from 498/3. Currently, Ollie Pope (169*) and Harry brook (9*) are standing unbeaten at the crease. The number three Pope top-scored with 169 not out at better than a run-a-ball. That England almost made 500 runs in a day, allied to Pope’s fourth score of over 150 at this level, emphasised the gulf between the sides in what is Zimbabwe’s first Test in England in 22 years.

Joe Root Leaves Behind Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis, Breaks All-Time Record To Script History

Joe Root Leaves Behind Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis, Breaks All-Time Record To Script History

Published by Webster

England’s flamboyant Joe Root shattered South Africa’s legendary Jacques Kallis’ record for the fastest to 13,000 Test runs and took a step closer towards dethroning India’s legendary Sachin Tendulkar from the summit of the highest-run scorer in the format during the opening day of their one-off fixture against Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge. In a high-scoring opening day where England’s top-order tormented the tourists, Root wasn’t at his best and notched 34 before surrendering his wicket to Blessing Muzarabani. In his 153rd match. Root stepped on the crease, 28 runs shy of the milestone. In the 80th over of England’s first innings, he sprinted for a single off Victor Nyauchi to breeze past the iconic Proteas all-rounder’s record, who scripted the milestone to his name in the 159th match, six more than what Root took. The 34-year-old’s exploits came to an end courtesy of Zimbabwe’s short-ball ploy. Muzarabani hit the deck and lured the English star to pull the ball away. Root couldn’t control the trajectory and holed it straight to Sean Williams. As …

Top Three Hit Hundreds As England Run Riot Against Zimbabwe

Top Three Hit Hundreds As England Run Riot Against Zimbabwe

Published by Webster

England’s top three of Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope all made hundreds as they piled on the agony for a hapless Zimbabwe in a one-off four-day Test in Nottingham on Thursday. An utterly dominant England were 498 for three at stumps on the first day at Trent Bridge after number three Pope top-scored with 169 not out at better than a run-a-ball. That England almost made 500 runs in a day, allied to Pope’s fourth score of over 150 at this level, emphasised the gulf between the sides in what is Zimbabwe’s first Test in England in 22 years. Left-hander Duckett led the initial run-spree with 140 on his Nottinghamshire home ground and opening partner Crawley made 124. Not since the same trio all reached three figures against Pakistan at Rawalpindi in December 2022 had England’s top three all made hundreds on the opening day of a Test. Crawley’s century came after he had managed just 212 runs in his previous eight Tests at an average of 15.14. “With Ben playing …

“Not Taking Anything Away…”: Ex-South Africa Star’s Huge ‘Fab Four’ Take On Virat Kohli

Published by Webster

File photo of Virat Kohli© AFP Indian cricket team batter Virat Kohli, who announced his retirement from Test cricket recently, was often compared to Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson when it came to the ‘modern greats’ conversation. The four talented batters were dubbed cricket’s ‘Fab Four’ and over the years, fans have engaged in a lot of debates over who is the best among the lot. While Virat finished his career as the fourth-highest run-scorer among the four, former South Africa star Daryll Cullinan picked him as the best among the ‘Fab Four’ because of the kind of responsibility he took in all forms of cricket. “I think in terms of the Fab Four, he obviously would go down right up there in terms of all formats of the game as being the best of them. They’ve all played some brilliant Test cricket. But what has set me apart with Virat Kohli is that he has taken on the responsibility in all forms of cricket, right up front, the captaincy, the whole …

Bruised England, Afghanistan Eye Victory To Stay Afloat In Champions Trophy

Bruised England, Afghanistan Eye Victory To Stay Afloat In Champions Trophy

Published by Webster

A battered England will hope to keep their Champions Trophy hopes alive when they face a dangerous Afghanistan in a crucial group B match in Lahore on Wednesday. A defeat here would severely dent both the teams’ dreams of a semifinal berth in the tournament, as South Africa and Australia have already notched up two points. The days of England’s white ball supremacy are far behind now, as the former world champions’ creaking unit even failed to defend a 350-plus total against Australia in their tournament opener. While England may take some comfort in posting a massive total, the reality is that it came against an Australian side missing their premier pacers – Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. The English bowlers then failed to stop an Australian line-up that did not have lead batters such as injured Mitchell Marsh and now-retired Marcus Stoinis. So, England will need to show massive improvement against Afghanistan on both those counts. Afghanistan’s three-pronged spin attack, consisting Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Mohammad Nabi, has the …

England SWOT Analysis, Champions Trophy: Can ‘Bazball’ Secure Its First ICC Trophy At Last?

Published by Webster

England’s quest for their maiden ICC Men’s Champions Trophy title carries the weight of past performances and high expectations across the years. Having conquered both the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, the Champions Trophy remains the only white-ball title missing from their cabinet. Twice before, in 2004 under Michael Vaughan and in 2013 under Alastair Cook, England came agonisingly close, only to falter at the final hurdle against India. Now, as they prepare for the 2025 edition, a full-strength squad, a renewed tactical approach, and the aggressive philosophy of new white-ball head coach Brendon McCullum offer a fresh shot at redemption. Strength: England’s strength lies in their formidable batting unit, one that has defined their white-ball dominance over the past decade. The team has been the fastest-scoring ODI side since the 2023 World Cup, scoring at 6.02 runs per over. The presence of Jos Buttler, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Phil Salt and Ben Duckett ensures that England can take the attack to any opposition. Root’s adaptability and …
