“He Is The Great MS Dhoni But It Was A Poor Call”: Ex-New Zealand Star’s Big Remark | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of MS Dhoni© BCCIMS Dhoni impressed both fans and experts with his explosive innings but it was not enough to clinch the victory for Chennai Super Kings in their IPL 2024 match against Delhi Capitals. Dhoni was at his explosive best as the veteran wicket-keeper batter slammed 37 off just 16 balls but CSK could only manage to score 171/6 in 20 overs while chasing 192. The knock broke the internet but former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull believes that it was a poor call for Dhoni to come out to bat after Sameer Rizvi and Ravindra Jadeja. In a discussion on Cricbuzz, Doull said that this was the first time Dhoni was batting in IPL 2024 and he needed more time to settle down before firing in the run chase."I know there was a lot of hoopa about Dhoni's innings but he blo...

On Steve Smith Becoming Opener, Australia Great’s Audacious ‘Brian Lara’s 400’ Prediction | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australian cricket team skipper Michael Clarke backed star batter Steve Smith to open the innings in Test matches after the retirement of David Warner. Following Warner's departure, a lot of questions have been asked about who can become Usman Khawaja's opening partner. Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh are possible options while Marcus Harris, Cameron Bancroft and Matt Renshaw have played the role in the past. Clarke said that Smith can become the best opener in the world within 12 months and he should be given the chance to try out the batting position.“If he wants to open the batting and they give him the chance, he will be the number one Test opener within 12 months. He [Smith] is that good a player. If he can bat at 3, he can bat anywher...

“Maybe There Is Beef”: Michael Clarke On Mitchell Johnson’s Vicious Attack At David Warner | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of David Warner and Mitchell Johnson© AFPFormer Australia star Mitchell Johnson left the entire cricket fraternity stunned with his vile attack at David Warner following the latter's inclusion in the team for the Test series against Pakistan. Johnson fumed at the prospect of Warner getting a "hero's sendoff", with the Pakistan Test series being his last in the format, while also targeting the chief selector Goerge Bailey over the opening batter's inclusion in the squad. While Bailey brushed aside the chatter, former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has had a few things to say on the subject."In every sporting team, not everybody gets on. Not everyone is best friends. Dave is a strong character, Mitch is a strong character, (they) went hard at each other in the nets," Cl...

Ashes 2023: “Won’t Get A Game…” – Australia Great’s Explosive Take On England Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] England cricket team in action during Ashes 2023© AFPFormer Australian cricket team skipper Michael Clarke was extremely critical of England fast bowler Ollie Robinson and said that he needs to concentrate on his bowling more than on-field antics. Robinson received a lot of flak for giving a send-off to Usman Khawaja during the first Ashes Test in Edgbaston. The visitors were able to power through on the final day of the match and register a brilliant two-wicket victory. In a recent interaction, Clarke said that Robinson is currently playing for England because bigger names like Jofra Archer and Chris Wood are out of action while suggesting that he needs to prove himself more before losing his temper on the field."He needs to shoosh," Clarke said on the Big Sports Breakfast."If En...

“Since Taking Over As Captain…”: Australia Great Takes Firm Stance On Rohit Sharma’s Future | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Rohit Sharma.© AFPNew Delhi :The Indian team under the leadership of Rohit Sharma was outplayed by Australia by 209 runs at the Kennington Oval in London at the ICC World Test Championship final. Rohit Sharma's captaincy was criticized and as a batter too he could score only 15 and 43 in the two innings. Despite India failing to clinch ICC T20 World Cup 2022 and ICC WTC final 2023, Australia's World Cup-winning captain Michael Clarke has backed the skipper Rohit."I would be keeping the faith with Rohit, I think he is a very good captain. I like his aggressive approach, he looks to be as positive as he can be. He has had a lot of success as a leader (look at his IPL record for Mumbai Indians). Just because India didn't win the World Test Championship doesn't mean Rohi...

“Understand Why Sourav Ganguly Has Predicted 4-0…”: Ex Australia Captain On Clean Sweep Chances | Cricket News

[ad_1] With Australia trailing 0-2 against India in the four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, former captain Michael Clarke questioned Australian team management's decision not to seek the advice of Mathew Hayden and Mark Waugh on tour. In Pat Cummins' absence Steve Smith will lead Australia in the third Test match in Indore starting on Wednesday."Matt Hayden and Mark Waugh are both there in India as commentators. If I was in the Australian camp, I would want both of these men to be with the team at the nets every single day. If they want money give it to them. Even Hayden who used the sweep to perfection is saying on commentary that you can't just sweep every ball or play the reverse sweep every ball. He knows it. You can play these shots when you are not out 80, not when you are on...
