R Ashwin on Josh Tongue: ‘He is able to produce those wicket-taking balls’ | Cricket News

Published by Parlour News

Former Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has heaped praise on Josh Tongue after the fast bowler’s performance in the Melbourne Test, which earned him the Player Of The Match award. He recalled his county stint and said how he knew Tongue from 2017 and saw him struggle with injuries at the time. He also mentioned on his channel about Brydon Carse, who picked up four wickets in the second innings. “I remember when I played county cricket in 2017 in Worcestershire, Josh Tongue had stress fracture issues. He is able to produce those wicket-taking balls. Brydon Carse is a bit of an enforcer. If they are able to hold their lines for longer periods of time, they can create a good team. Also, the batting must have a bit of a thought. England can’t get themselves ahead and leave the game behind,” Ashwin said on his YouTube channel. “For instance, how Harry Brook bottled the game against India. In Perth, there was a small passage of play. They go for that brute force without any thought …

Patience is the most important virtue of a spinner. Unfortunately, it has been missing among our spinners, and that’s what I’ve been witnessing of late, especially on turning tracks, not on rank turners. I can see a couple of reasons. A) Our spinners don’t bowl enough in our conditions in domestic tournaments. B) The influence of white-ball habits. A spinner matures with not only age but also with the overs he sends down. When you bowl longer, you gain maturity and develop patience, which is absolutely necessary. In India’s case, we are speaking not about spinners, but all-rounders like Washington Sundar and Axar Patel. They have been quite good and effective with the white ball. But when it comes to red-ball cricket, they hardly have the experience on such pitches on the domestic circuit. When you play on pitches that have a bit of help for spinners, you know exactly what is happening and what skill is required. Previously, we had pitches that were good for batting on the first couple of days, and it …

Pacer Arshdeep Singh finally found a place in India’s playing XI in the 3rd T20I against Australia at Hobart and immediately showed his prowess when he snapped up 3 wickets which helped the Men in Blue waltz to a 5-wicket win and level the series 1-1. The Punjab pacer accounted for the wickets of Travis Head, Josh Inglis and Marcus Stoinis as Australia posted 186/6 which India chased down in 18.3 overs thanks to Washington Sundar’s 49. “When someone is coming hard at you, there’s always a chance to pick up wickets. And when someone like Bumrah is bowling from the other end, batters often take more risks against me, that gives me wicket-taking opportunities,” Arshdeep said after the match where he won the Player of the Match trophy. “I’ve just been working on my process, trusting my skills, and executing the plans I’ve practised. It feels great to contribute when I get the chance. I just try to enjoy my bowling and keep my plans simple. No matter the situation – powerplay or death …

Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy last week with the bat was an all too brief stay at the crease, lasting 23 fleeting minutes before an expectant home crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. As Kohli’s off-stump went for a toss from a nip-backer off his 15th delivery from a relatively unknown Himanshu Sangwan, the Railways pacer burst to the limelight for his roaring celebration, theatrics often associated with Kohli himself. After all, there is the Delhi fire running in 27-year-old Sangwan too who represented the team in age-group cricket and made his U-15 debut with Kohli’s India teammate and wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Sangwan, who works as a senior ticket collector in the Old Delhi Railway Station was later appreciated by the former India captain in the dressing-room following Delhi’s innings victory on Saturday. विराट कोहली से गेंद पर हस्ताक्षर लेते हिमांशु सांगवानी #विराटकोहली #ViratKohli𓃵 Nice gesture by Virat Kohli😧 pic.twitter.com/P5WAib5g65 — Lokesh sharma/ लोकेश शर्मा (@lokeshreporter) February 2, 2025 “When I gave him (Kohli) the ball to sign it, he asked …

Last week, a couple of videos of Arshdeep Singh making the ball talk went viral on social media. After Australia humbled India within three days on a lively Sydney pitch, the County Championship shared a video of the left-armer Arshdeep Singh knocking over Essex’s Paul Walter with the commentators gushing: “Oh what a ball, that’s a beauty by Arshdeep Singh, top of off stumps, bails flying, and that swung back in as well. Wow, what a beauty!” A couple of days ago, BCCI domestic shared the highlights of Arshdeep’s new ball spell against Maharashtra in Punjab’s Vijay Hazare Trophy. The left-arm seamer cut India hopeful Ruturaj Gaikwad in half, beating his outside edge, before knocking his off stumps. Arshdeep has made a habit of producing rippers like the Babar Azam’s wicket in his first-ever World Cup (2022) delivery for instance. In three years since making his debut in 2022, with 95 scalps to his name, he has become India’s leading wicket take in the T20Is. In the 50-over Vijay Hazare Trophy, Arshdeep is the leading …

When India and Australia line up for the first Test at Perth on November 22, it will be a feast for fast-bowling connoisseurs as Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins weave some pacy magic. Former Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait in an interaction with The Indian Express raves about their skill-set and offers his views on which of the two is more difficult to face for batsmen while elucidating what makes them different. Differently lethal. Excerpts: Where do you put Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins among the list of great fast bowlers of all time? Shaun Tait: Pat Cummins has got to be arguably the best cricketer in the world, even with a bat. If you talk about his captaincy as well, he’s a very successful captain of Australia. He’s the number one bowler and he can make runs as well. So from a leadership point of view, he’s maybe the most valuable cricketer on the earth. You look at someone like a Ben Stokes, all-rounder captain, same sort of thing. So it’s a really good …

Bhuvneshwar on cusp of becoming IPL’s leading wicket-taking quick, Samson’s dominance of spin continues & Abhishek rubbing shoulders with Head | Ipl News

In a week that hosted a slew of close shaves and heavily one-sided contests in the IPL, certain veterans and young guns unleashed versions of their best. So did the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who continued their relentless pursuit of elevating T20 batting. After picking up only three wickets in his first six matches this season, Bhuvneshwar Kumar has crafted a return to the peak of his prowess with the new ball for the Sunrisers. In a humdinger run-fest where SRH trumped Rajasthan Royals by one run, Bhuvneshwar cracked the top order by castling Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson for ducks with his Player of the Match performance. He backed it up with economical returns against Mumbai Indians and the Lucknow Super Giants. Bhuvneshwar Kumar of Sunrisers Hyderabad celebrates the wicket of Rovman Powell of Rajasthan Royals during match 50 of the Indian Premier League season 17 (IPL 2024) between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals held at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on the 2nd May 2024.
