Ex-Australia Star “Delighted” Over Mitchell Starc’s IPL Deal. Says This On Pat Cummins’ Price Tag | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie has questioned Pat Cummins' massive IPL price tag, saying T20 cricket is not the quick's best format but backed Mitchell Starc's jaw-dropping Rs 24.75 crore deal. Cummins attracted the second highest paycheck in the auction in Dubai on Tuesday after an intense bidding war between Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, and Sunrisers Hyderabad, who shelled out a whopping Rs 20.50 crore for the Australian captain."Pat's obviously a quality bowler and a quality leader, we've seen that. I just don't think T20 is his best format," Gillespie told SEN Radio."I think he's a Test bowler, personally. I think Test cricket is his absolute bread and butter." It was not the first time that Cummins, who has 55 wickets in 50 T20I ma...

“Evolution Of Bazball…”: Australia Great Finds A Trend In England’s Philosophy | Cricket News

[ad_1] England players during the second Ashes Test.© AFPSince Brendon McCullum took over as England coach, the team has played an attractive and aggressive brand of cricket - popularly known as 'Bazball'. Sometimes that approach even has backfired, like in the first Test. England batted aggressively but also gifted wickets to the Aussies as they ultimately lost by two wickets. However, former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie has said that the Bazball concept might be going through an evolution."I don't think they are going to change their philosophy. I actually saw glimpses of Plan B in the first Test. Just have a look at Ben Stokes' innings in the second innings. He got 30 odd runs (43 runs actually) but he was pensive for a while, particularly against Nathan Lyon," Jason Gillespie said...

England “Had Lot Of Selfish Characters Playing…”: Ex-Star’s Scathing Revelation | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former England pacer Steve Harmison has hinted that quite a few senior players in the side did not contribute to the team spirit in the late 90s and early 2000s, but all that changed during the 2005 Ashes series, which the hosts won 2-1. Responding to former Australian quick Jason Gillespie's assessment that he had noticed a big change in the England side during the 2005 Ashes, Harmison, who was part of the 2005 side, said that, "The difference between that and 2003, 2001 and 1999, 1997, was in 2005 we were a team."Gillespie had suggested that he had never seen such camaraderie in the England team during previous series between the two sides."I noticed a big difference in the England side in the '05 Ashes… we'd never felt that as an Australian side before," Gillespie told 'Sen Rad...

[ad_1] Virat Kohli will be a crucial player for India in the Test series against Australia© AFPFormer Australian cricket team fast bowler Jason Gillespie had a piece of advice for his national side ahead of the Test series against India.

The on-field duel between Kohli and Cummins will certainly be a highlight of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar series and he believes that Kohli needs to face Cummins early in his innings for the visitors to get any advantage."I am really looking forward to seeing (Virat) Kohli vs Cummins. That's a fantastic match-up. It will be interesting to see how they go. When Virat comes out to bat, I would love to see Cummins take ...

“Play By The Laws And…”: Ex-Australia Star Weighs In On Deepti Sharma’s Run-Out | Cricket News

[ad_1] Charlie Dean's run-out at the hands of Deepti Sharma at the non-striker's end because she was backing up too far ahead when the ball was not even delivered, has garnered some real attention and the cricket fraternity continues to be divided on whether it is within the spirit of the game. The incident took another turn on Monday after Deepti Sharma revealed that Team India had given Dean a warning, and when she chose to venture out of her crease repeatedly, they decided to run her out."It was our plan because she was leaving the crease repeatedly. We have even warned her. So, whatever we did was according to the rules and regulations," Deepti Sharma said. "We had told the umpires too. But she was still doing it, so we had no other option."However, after this, England's designated c...
