“He’s The Extra Bowler” – Ex-Australia Star’s Brutally Honest Take On Arjun Tendulkar | Cricket News

[ad_1] Arjun Tendulkar in action for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023© TwitterFormer Australia all-rounder Tom Moody believes that Arjun Tendulkar is sort of a surplus to Mumbai Indians' resources and as a result, it is not guaranteed that the youngster will get to complete his full quota of four overs on a regular basis. Tendulkar bowled two overs in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans and although he conceded just nine runs, he was not given a second spell in the final overs. The MI attack was taken to the cleaners by Abhinav Manohar and David Miller as the defending champions posted a huge total of 206.While several fans expressed their surprise at Tendulkar not getting more overs, Moody believed that it was the right decision to give him a small spell and ...

“Team Has Let KL Rahul Down”: IPL-Winning Coach Comes In Support Of Under-Fire LSG Skipper | Cricket News

[ad_1] KL Rahul (68 off 61), along with Kyle Mayers, provided an ideal start to LSG.© AFPKL Rahul's half-century went in vain as Gujarat Titans edged Lucknow Super Giants out by seven runs in an IPL 2023 game on Saturday. Chasing a meagre total of 136, Rahul (68 off 61), along with opening partner Kyle Mayers, provided an ideal start to LSG, adding 55 runs for the opening wicket. However, GT bowlers made a strong comeback and restricted LSG to 128/7 in 20 overs. While several experts have criticised Rahul for his strike-rate, former SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) coach Tom Moody has backed the LSG skipper, saying that the other players have let him down."I don't think any blame is on KL Rahul. I think the team has let him down. He and Kyle Mayers, at the top of the order, set the ideal platfo...

[ad_1] Virat Kohli has 103 runs in 2 matches for RCB© AFPWith over 100 runs in the first two matches, Virat Kohli has begun the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in an emphatic fashion. Kohli's performances have instilled big hopes in the hearts of fans who have been dreaming to see the franchise lifting the coveted trophy since the beginning of the T20 league in 2008. However, going forward, former India star Irfan Pathan has urged Kohli to leave the opening spot and bat in the middle order for the RCB.Pathan's comments came as a big surprise as Kohli has looked in pretty good form while opening for the Bengaluru franchise.

“Too Many Holes, No Balance”: Ex-SunRisers Hyderabad Coach’s Scathing Analysis Of Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Mumbai Indians team.© AFPFormer SunRisers Hyderabad coach Tom Moody has reiterated that Mumbai Indians would not be able to make it to the final of the Indian Premier League 2023. After MI's 8-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in their campaign opener, the Australian coach pointed out that the Rohit Sharma-led side has "too many holes". It is worth noting that MI had ended at the bottom spot in the points table last season -- their worst-ever performance in the history of the tournament -- and the disappointing loss to RCB in IPL 2023 puts serious doubt on their latest form."I'm concerned (for Mumbai Indians) because I sort of called it before the start of the IPL that I didn't think they'd be anywhere near the finals. I just feel there are too many holes am...

“Australia’s Obsession…”: Ex-Sri Lanka Coach Passes Damning Verdict On Pat Cummins & Co | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australia cricketer Tom Moody was extremely critical of Pat Cummins and Co after the visitors struggled on Day 2 of the first Test match between India and Australia in Nagpur. The pitch was the center of attraction before even a single delivery was bowled with ex-Australia cricketers and experts alleging “pitch doctoring” on India's part to gain an advantage. However, the hosts were impressive with both bat and ball as Rohit Sharma guided them to a comfortable lead. Moody took to Twitter to pass a damning judgement on the side who struggled to excel on Friday.  “Australia's obsession of what might be, instead of focusing on playing what's in front of them, has weighed heavily. #INDvAUS,” he tweeted.Australia's obsession of what might be, instead of focusing on playing what'...

Anil Kumble Bats For Separate Indian Teams In Test And White-Ball Cricket | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Anil Kumble© TwitterFormer India captain and coach Anil Kumble feels having totally different squads in limited overs and Test format is the way forward for the country in international cricket. England's roaring success in ODIs and T20Is has ignited the debate for different teams and coaches in white and red ball cricket. "Definitely, you need separate teams. You need, certainly, T20 specialists. I think what this English team has shown and even the last (T20) World Cup champions Australia have shown is that you need to invest in a lot of allrounders. Look at the batting order," Kumble told ESPNcricinfo."Today Liam Livingstone is batting at No. 7. No other team has a No. 7 of the quality of Livingstone. (Marcus) Stoinis walks in at No. 6 (for Australia). That's the ...

[ad_1] Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma might not play much T20 cricket for India© AFPIs the T20I journey all over for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli? At the age of 35 and 34 respectively, the two veteran batters aren't getting any younger. While Kohli did manage to set the stage on fire in a few matches for India at the T20 World Cup 2022, the performance from Rohit Sharma was arguably as bad as it can get. But, the big question is what the future holds for the duo in the shortest format considering the next T20 World Cup is in 2024?As far as Australia great Tom Moody is concerned, Rohit and Kohli shouldn't play T20I cricket for India in the next cycle. The focus for the team management, as per Moody, should be to develop a new side consisting of younger players."With two years to play out, I...
