Bangladesh vs South Africa Test Highlights|South Dale Steyn's 400th Test wickets


Bangladesh vs South Africa Test Highlights|South Dale Steyn's 400th Test wickets

Duminy was exceedingly good with the ball and was the pick of the lot. Steyn was brilliant as well. The part-timer Elgar got rid of the dangerous Rahim. The hosts will rely on Nasir to bat along with the tail and hope that they carry on and build a good first innings total. On the other hand Proteas will look to wrap this up quick and fast.

The day belonged to the visitors by far. The first two sessions the hosts did really well with the bat. After the early breakthrough, Kayes and Mominul put in some handy contributions. Mahmudullah, Shakib and Rahim too backed them with some useful runs. However they failed to capitalize on their starts. Rahim has top scored for Bangladesh so far with 65 runs.

james anderson 6 wickets vs Australia Ashes 2015 Highlights

james anderson 6 wickets vs Australia Ashes 2015 Highlights

The rain has decided to stay and the officials have decided to call off the day. England are only 3 runs behind at the end of the first day. Ian Bell was looking in good touch but he got out to a rash shot just a few minutes before the rain arrived. In all, 13 wickets fell today. It was an outstanding spell by Anderson who picked up 6 wickets and that was the reason why Australia were bowled out for a paltry 136. Root is looking in good touch and he is unbeaten on 30. For now, England are on top, they'll look to play out the day tomorrow and get a healthy lead.

Tillakaratne Dilshan became the 11th player to score 10000 ODI runs

Tillakaratne Dilshan became the 11th player to score 10000 ODI runs


Big win for Sri Lanka! They've beaten Pakistan by a huge margin. You got to give them three ticks for their batting, fielding and bowling today. They posted a mammoth total first up, thanks to a ton by Kusal Perera and fifties by Dilshan, Mathews and Siriwardana. Pakistan in reply kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Their batsmen got starts but failed to make it count. You've to give credit to Sri Lanka's fielding though. 

Image Source :- Cricinfo

Lots of ODI milestones happened in today's ODI. Kusal Perera crossed 1000 runs. Tillakaratne Dilshan became the 11th player to score 10000 ODI runs. Angelo Mathews picked up his 100th wicket and Mohammad Hafeez crossed the 5000-run mark.

The Sri Lankan bowlers kept the pressure on with their tight bowling and exceptional fielding. The hosts' fielding in this series was pretty mediocre and they came up today with a strong fielding side to thump Pakistan. Although Pakistan take the series 3-2! But the question remains on Pakistan's qualification for the Champions Trophy. As of now if West Indies don't play any series before the cut-off time then Pakistan will qualify.

Azhar Ali (Pakistan captain): We wanted to win this game so picked the same team. Credit goes to Sri Lanka, they played really well. We didn't bowl that well. Credit goes to the Sri Lankan batsmen, they played really well in the first half. We wanted to finish the series high with a win. But really happy as we won the series. The highlight of the series is the way we played. We played some positive cricket. The fielding was really exceptional. After a long time you've seen Pakistan fielding so well. Credit should be given to the coaching staff. This unit is really hungry. The senior players have responded well in crucial situations and they've guided the other players really well.
Man of the Series - Mohammad Hafeez: Whole team deserved this Man of the Series award. Really happy to do something for the team. Really happy with this win. Things are working for me. I'm trying my best in contributing towards the team. We changed the mindset and that really worked for us.

Mohammad Rizwan gets the rising talent award. Mohammad Hafeez gets the most colorful player of the series award.

Angelo Mathews (Sri Lankan captain): Yeah it was a clinical performance. Openers batted brilliantly and they set a platform. Milinda was a treat to watch. We just had to enjoy out there. We just had to go back to our basics especially with our bowling department. We had to stick to our line and length. We showed a bit of an improvement. We have to keep improving day by day.

Man of the Match - Kusal Perera: Team needed that knock. 3-2 margin and we're feeling really happy. Everyone did pretty well. (On both the Sri Lankan wins this series, he was the Man of the Match) I'm pretty happy with that. Always I'm trying to do my basics right.

StarSports||*Watch# India vs Zimbabwe 1st T20 Highlights

In short it was a perfect and an all-round performance by the Men in Blue. The new look Indian side have done fine on the tour. With one match to go, they'll look to win the last one as well. 5-0 will be their next target.

During the run chase, Zimbabwean openers got them off to a dazzling start but once the openers were dismissed, wickets fell down like nine pins. No partnerships, no resistance, no fight was shown by the middle order batsmen. They marked their attendance, played rash shots and left in a hurry. Towards the end Madziva and Utseya hit a few lusty blows but it was too late. For India, Axar Patel and Harbhajan Singh, the spin twins kept things tight and picked up crucial wickets. Patel took three wickets while Bhajji picked up a couple of them.

A clinical performance by the Men in Blue. They have won the fourth match in a row on the tour. Everything went their way today. Right from the toss to the last over of the match. Rahane elected to bat first and then the top order in the likes of Vijay, Uthappa, Pandey and Rahane himself played crucial knocks. They got off to a flier and the rest of the batsmen who followed did their bit as well. They ended the innings on high as Harbhajan hit a boundary off the last ball of the innings.

The Man of the Match goes to Axar Patel for his brilliant spell - I bowled to my strengths and it's not easy for the batsmen when you keep it slow. The seam on the ball helps the spinners a lot. Thanks and cheers mate!
Ajinkya Rahane - I think we batted pretty well. We thought a score of 160 would be decent and we got more than that. The wicket was better and our bowlers did their job. The singles and doubles we took in the middle overs were crucial. That helped us to get a good score.

Elton Chigumbura - I think we were all round the place especially with the bat. I though that we give them 15-20 runs more. It doesn't help when you are losing wickets. Definitely, it's important to play well on Sunday and hopefully we will do it.

{Ashes 2015 Live updates} Rogers and Smith hit tons as Australia reached 337/1

{Ashes 2015 Live updates} Rogers and Smith hit tons as Australia reached 337/1


The wicket looked a flat one as the batsmen were scoring runs freely. But they say don't judge a wicket unless both the teams play. To be honest England didn't bowl that bad, they just couldn't get any help from the wicket. They had their chances though but didn't take. Bell dropped Smith on 50 and since then the Australian has looked as good as ever. Moeen Ali was the lone English bowler to take a wicket today. Also this is only the second time at Lord's that just one wicket has fallen on opening day.

Soumya Sarkar 90 Runs From 75 Balls Innings Highlights vs South Africa





A happy Australian dressing room sums up the day.Australia won the toss and piled on 337 runs today for the loss of just one wicket. Warner got a start but was over aggressive and paid the price. Rogers was watchful early on and found good company in the name of Steven Smith. Both of them have added an unbeaten 259-run stand so far after smashing brilliant tons.

Soumya Sarkar 90 Runs From 75 Balls Innings Highlights vs South Africa

Soumya Sarkar 90 Runs From 75 Balls Innings Highlights vs South Africa

The Tigers have handed Proteas quite a drubbing. They are taking giant strides in the world of cricket and have stamped their authority by thumping their way to a series win over South Africa. They have excelled in every department. The team is full of self belief and they have exemplified this to the fullest. They have gone through the proceedings and with utmost ease have hunted this target down.

Joe Root 134 from 166 balls Ashes 2015 Innings Highlights



 Bowlers came to the fore and delivered. Mustafizur was brilliant with the new ball while Mashrafe's plan of bowling Shakib early clicked. Rubel too came to the party and Mahmudullah also added one wicket to his credit. Chasing a similar target, they backed themselves to replicate it once again but this time, they did it in some fashion with a pounding 9-wicket win. The openers blazed away and in no time were within sniffing range of sweet victory. Both Tamim and Sarkar went onto scores fifties. Sarkar missed out on his ton as he perished on 90. With this victory, this will be their fourth consecutive ODI series win at home for the Bangla Tigers.


Mashrafe Mortaza - It was difficult after losing the first match to come back. It was brilliant how the boys played. You do not get enough time to think about the mistakes but the boys did well. The way Soumya was batting, Shakib was brilliant and Mustafizur day by day is becoming a good bowler. Tamim too was brilliant. Boys will get some confidence and we want to deliver this in the Test series as well. Thanks to the crowd, keep supporting us and hopefully we will keep doing better.

Hashim Amla - Very disappointing indeed but credit to Bangladesh. They played really well. We haven't played good cricket of late. I think we have a good idea of what the wickets are going to be at Chittagong. Test cricket is a different ball game and we want to regroup and come back.

Soumya Sarkar has been adjudged the Man of the Match for his brilliant ninety runs. This is his second consecutive Man of the Match award. He is the Man of the Series as well.

Joe Root 134 from 166 balls Ashes 2015 Innings Highlights

Joe Root 134 from 166 balls Ashes 2015 Innings Highlights


England lead the 5-match series 1-0. Australia will have a lot to think about after the woeful batting performance. They will have to go back to the drawing board to look at what went wrong. Haddin's drop of Root was the key as he wasn't off the mark and went on to make a century which probably took the game away. The bowlers will also have to do better. Johnson went wicketless in the first innings but batted well in the fourth innings to score 77 runs. However, it was too little too late as the top order failed to contribute. Will Australia bounce back for the second match? They certainly have the ability to do so. 



Kagiso Rabada took 6 for 16 Bowling Highlights VS Bangladesh



So England register the first win of the series and they do so convincingly. They win by 169 runs as they bowled the Aussies out on day 4. The bowlers put up a splendid performance to bowl the visitors out in a day. Moeen Ali and Stuart Broad were the pick of the bowlers as they bagged three wickets each.

Joe Root gets the Man of the Match award for picking up a couple of wickets and his century in the first innings, it had to be him. We will be back for the second Test at Lord's on the 16th of July. Will Australia bounce back or will England win the second consecutive match? We will find out soon enough. Till then, goodbye and take care.


Alastair Cook - The crowd was brilliant and the support they showed was fantastic. This Test match couldn't have been any better. The guys are loving being around each other and it obviously helps when you are on top. We knew the chances would come and they are great bowlers. The catching was very important but the hard work pays off.


Michael Clarke - We were outplayed in all three facets of the game and have a lot to think about before the second Test. Hopefully Starc will be fit. If you get an opportunity as a bowling and fielding side you have to take the chances. The guys played really well but we didn't play the best cricket. If we get similar conditions we will have to play better than we did here.

ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 Afghanistan v United Arab Emirates Highlights

ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 Afghanistan v United Arab Emirates Highlights


The Man of the Match goes to Mohammad Shahzad for his 72-run knock. He says that the pitch was good for batting. Adds that they had a plan and the batsmen chased it down well. Also says that he was waiting for the bad and loose deliveries and put them away. Ends up saying that he wants to carry this form ahead.

 ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 Afghanistan ,ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 UAE,World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 Images,World Twenty20 Qualifier 2015 highlights


Samiullah Shenwari and skipper, Asghar Stanikzai helped them to get over the line with a 69-run for the the third wicket. The bowlers couldn't do much and were hit all over the place by all the Afghani batsmen. Another outstanding performance by Afghanistan. They have now won two out of two!

UAE were excellent with the bat today. They were bowled out cheaply yesterday but today their batsmen were quite brilliant. Their batsmen managed to get a a competitive scored on the board but weren't able to restrict the Afghanistani batsmen. They got out Mangal early on but were not able to stop Mohammad Shahzad. He attacked all the bowlers and played a scintillating knock of 74 runs and scored these runs only in 32 balls.

In reply, Quinton de Kock and Amla entered with intent. They both got off to a good start but after the dismissal of Amla, Quinton looked uncomfortable. He managed to play himself to 35 before getting out. After the two openers departed, in came Rossouw and du Plessis. Both of them played all the way til the end to take South Africa through comfortably. They never looked troubled and Bangladesh will be questioning their bowling and batting after tonight's performance. Also, this was the first wicketless preformance by Mustafizur Rahman. There's a;ways a first isn't there?

Ambati Rayudu 124 of 133 Balls innings Highlights vs Zimbabwe

That's it then, Bangladesh lose the first ODI and South Africa lead the 3 match series 1-0. They have done it very very convincingly. It all started with the brilliance of Khagiso Rabada. He picked up 6 wickets and gets the best bowling figures on debut. His day couldn't have been any better as he even got a hat-trick to his name. Along with his bowling partners, South Africa restricted the Bangladeshi's for 160.

Man of the match - Khagiso Rabada. It had to be him for his bowling performance of 6/16.

Shakib Al Hasan picks up the award for the best Bangladeshi performer. Mortaza said the total was not really competitive and Shakib and Rahim had a good partnership but it was not enough.

Ambati Rayudu 124 of 133 Balls innings Highlights vs Zimbabwe


Elton Chigumbura was brilliant with the bat for the hosts and scored his 2nd ODI hundred, but didn't get enough support from the other end to take them through. The spinning duo of Axar Patel and Harbhajan Singh were good with the ball, picking up 3 wickets between them. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the Indian bowlers for his consistent line and length and a brilliant last over which won India the nerve cracking match.

Ambati Rayudu 124 of 133 Balls,Ambati Rayudu 124 of 133 innigs,Ambati Rayudu 124 of 133 Balls images


Not a convincing win, but India will take that. They have won the 1st ODI of the 3-match series. After a good batting display, where Ambati Rayudu scored a 124-not out and Stuart Binny came up with his career best 77 that took India to a good defendable total of 255/6. India in the 2nd innings came up with a decent bowling display to restrict Zimbabwe and win with a narrow margin of 4 runs.

Ambati Rayudu gets the Man of the Match for his brilliant hundred in the 1st innings.

England vs Australia The Ashes 2015 Highlights and Match Stats


England vs  Australia The Ashes 2015 Highlights and Match Stats 


That ends a riveting day of Test cricket! The Ashes are always closely fought and the day one already sums up the performance. England were put in early trouble as they lost their three wickets for just 43 runs but then Root and Ballance shared a 153-run stand that laid the foundation. Hazlewood struck again to remove Ballance while Root continued his purple patch. The run machine scored 134 runs at a pretty good rate but he was dropped on zero by Haddin earlier. Stokes played his natural game and hit a fifty as well as England posted a pretty good total at the end of day 1.

The Ashes 2015,The Ashes 2015 images,The Ashes 2015 series


Can the English lower order post a big total first up? Or the Australian bowlers will run through to bowl England? Starc wasn't really accurate but he was getting movement even with the old ball. He picked up three wickets, as he removed all the middle order batsmen. Hazlewood was the pick of the bowlers today though as he grabbed three wickets as well and was pretty accurate with his line and length as usual. Mitchell Johnson was a failure as the Aussie speedster couldn't get a single wicket today. In fact he bowled well but wasn't successful enough to get a breakthrough.

The Ashes 2015 will start from Jul 08 2015 to Aug 24 2015.The Ashes 2015 Schedule contains  5 Tests Matches. It is one of the oldest fight between England and Australia.

  England will try to take the revenge of what they faced at the last ashes 5-0 whitewash. One of the problem areas for England is they dont have the combination. If we talk about the batting or bowling. They dont have anyone who can support Andreson. If We talk about the spin department then also they disappoint us.

In last few months england have tested many batsman, But to handle pressure at this type of stage they have Cook, Bell and root. If these three performed well with the bat then they can win this ashes. On the other hand Aussies have Smith and Warner at the top with Clarke. A one of the best test combination in present all team scenario.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 3rd Test 2015 Highlights, Report


Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 3rd Test 2015 Highlights, Report


Pakistan had lot of issues with the ball. Started well, but couldn't quite maintain the same. Apart from Yasir Shah, no one has bowled consistently well. They went through the motions pretty quickly and will hope that Sri Lanka get all out soon tomorrow, or rain helps them.


 sri lanka vs pakistan highlights 2015,sri lanka vs pakistan 2015 images,sri lanka vs pakistan live 2015


The Lankans now lead by 291 and are in great command in this Test. They might look to bat probably till Lunch tomorrow, depending on how long this partnership lasts. If they do bat the two hours and more of a session, the target might well go in excess of 400.
That ends a fine day of cricket for Sri Lanka. They wasted no time this morning in dismissing Pakistan quickly but then lost their way, losing 3 quick wickets. But skipper Mathews held firm and developed useful stands, first with Tharanga, then with Mubarak and finally with Chandimal.
