“Pat Cummins’ Best Day With Ball”: Australia Star On World Cup Final | Cricket News

[ad_1] With the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Pat Cummins put the skids on India.© AFPAustralia batter Marnus Labuschagne said he had "never seen" someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the World Cup final against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma's side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India."I think that was certainly Pat's best day with the ball," Labuschagne told Sen Radio."I think I've never seen someone bowl the sequence he (Cummins) did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven't seen that from a midd...

“India Were Getting Into Me…”: Australia Star On Virat Kohli And Co.’s Sledging In Cricket World Cup Final | Cricket News

[ad_1] In Australia's Cricket World Cup 2023 final win against the Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team, there were several protagonists. There were the bowlers led by Mitchell Starc, who restricted India to just 240 and then there was Travis Head, who scored 137 off 120 balls to ensure that India cross the mark in just 43 overs. Marnus Labuschagne was also a standout performer, though his performance was not as flashy as others. He scored 58* off 110 balls and blunted out the famed Indian bowling attack. He stayed on till the end, with taking any unnecessary risks, to take Australia over the line.There were attempts by players like Virat Kohli to rile up Marnus Labuschagne but it did not have any effect on him."It was so loud and the wave of momentum India had was immense. The Indian te...

Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Siraj In Tears After India’s Heartbreaking Loss In Cricket World Cup 2023 Final – Watch | Cricket News

[ad_1] A scintillating century by Travis Head proved to be the point of difference as Australia beat India by seven wickets to clinch their sixth ICC Cricket World Cup title at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. Australia have officially won a World Cup title in the decades of 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. For India, their decade-long wait for a major ICC Trophy continues as after overcoming the semifinal hurdle, they have lost in the final. In the chase of 241, Men in Blue started off with an expensive over by Jasprit Bumrah as he was smashed for 15 runs, including three fours. Also, a catch was missed on the first ball itself. But Virat Kohli, who had missed the catch in the first over, made up for his error as Mohammed Shami struck in his first over, removing David W...

Ricky Ponting Wants Marnus Labuschagne To Replace This Star Player In World Cup Semifinal vs South Africa | Cricket News

[ad_1] Marnus Labuschagne's batting skills in the middle overs would make him a better choice than all-rounder Marcus Stoinis in Australia's World Cup semi-final against South Africa in Kolkata on Thursday, feels former captain Ricky Ponting. Glenn Maxwell will return to the Australian side after resting from the final league game against Bangladesh on Saturday, and either one of Labuschagne or Marcus Stoinis will get the chop for the semifinal against the Proteas at Eden Gardens. Ponting has backed Labuschagne to be in the playing eleven for the semifinal match and wants batting all-rounder Stoinis to be dropped. Stoinis has had an ordinary campaign with both bat and ball so far, scoring 87 runs at an average of 21.75, while taking four wickets at 35.75 from six World Cup matches."I pro...

“Umpires Really Did Not…”: Australia Seek Clarity From ICC Over Controversial Marcus Stoinis Dismissal | Cricket News

[ad_1] The Australian camp was not happy with the third umpire's decision to rule Marcus Stoinis out in the 134-run defeat to South Africa in the World Cup, with batter Marnus Labuschagne and coach Andrew McDonald saying they will seek clarity from the ICC. Stoinis was adjudged out caught behind in the 18th over off a Kagiso Rabada delivery after South Africa reviewed the decision. The Ultra edge showed a spike, as the ball touched Stoinis' bottom hand. But what made things confusing was that Stoinis' top hand left the bat and whether the top and bottom hand were both connected to the bat was debatable."You have got to accept the umpire's decision in these moments. I'm sure there will be some sort of explanation coming from the ICC around the dismissal," McDonald said after the game.Labu...
