Ashes 5th Test: Anderson keeps place as England name unchanged XI vs AUS

England announced an unchanged team on Wednesday to play Australia in the fifth and final Ashes test at the Oval. England record wicket-taker James Anderson, who turns 41 on the fourth day, retains his place in the side despite a disappointing series so far while pacer Mark Wood and all-rounder Chris Woakes have both been passed fit. The fifth test starts Thursday. Australia takes a 2-1 lead into the match and has already retained the urn but England is looking to level the series after the final-day washout at Old Trafford in the drawn fourth test. Jimmy Anderson is the greatest fast bowler to play the game, England captain Ben Stokes said. He's not had the impact and the wickets he'd have liked to in this series, he's come under a bit of flak, but he's a quality performer. Australia arrived in south London with an insurmountable lead as holder of the Ashes, but a similar scenario in 2019 saw the team come unstuck in the final test and forced to settle for a drawn series. Austra

Ashes 4th Test: It was not a day to be proud of for Australia - Ian Healy

Former wicketkeeper Ian Healy has targeted Australia skipper Pat Cummins for the team's abysmal showing in the fourth Ashes Test saying, "it was not a day to be proud of" for the visitors. Australia surrendered the initiative on the second day of the Test to England, who took a 67-run first-innings lead on Thursday and look set to pile more misery on Australia with Harry Brook and skipper Ben Stokes batting on 14 and 24 respectively. Responding to Australia's first-innings score of 317, England are 384 for 4, dealing a huge blow to the visitors' hopes of winning the crucial Test at Old Trafford. Healy was unimpressed with Cummins' tactics on Thursday, saying Australia couldn't keep the opposition in check. "It was not a day to be proud of whatsoever. We couldn't keep things tight. Cummins had a terrible day in the field. He dropped two catches and didn't see one," Healy told 'Sen Radio' on Friday. The legendary 59-year-old former wicketkeeper indicated that Cummins, while off-col

Ashes 4th Test highlights: Crawley blasts 189 as ENG lead AUS by 67 runs

Opener Zak Crawley hit a rapid 189 as England dominated the second day of the fourth Ashes Test to take a 67-run lead over Australia with six wickets left at stumps on Thursday. England rocketed to 384-4 in 72 overs with a heavy dose of Bazball bravado after Australia was dismissed for 317 in the morning session at Old Trafford after resuming on 299-8. Crawley took England into the lead after just 54.3 overs with a superb flick for six off Mitch Marsh. Australia's woes continued as England was allowed a couple of overthrows when Australia captain Pat Cummins forgot to back up Steve Smith's throw from the deep, although it did have some respite when an off-balance Crawley dragged Cameron Green (1-40) on to his stumps. Crawley scored 189 in 182 deliveries, including three sixes and 21 fours, repaying the rock-solid faith England captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have shown him. The 25-year-old Crawley's inconsistency has attracted criticism and he arrived at the crease w

Ashes 4th Test: AUS 299-8 at stumps on Day 1; Broad claims 600th wicket

Stuart Broad claimed his 600th test wicket for England, under-fire wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow took three catches and Australia batters kept the runs ticking along to reach 299-8 at stumps on the first day of the fourth Ashes test on Wednesday in what already looks like another close contest. Broad joined test cricket's exclusive club as he and Chris Woakes kept England's hopes of a rousing Ashes comeback alive at Old Trafford. Three years after taking his 500th wicket at the same ground, Broad completed another century to join a hall of fame that includes only four other names: Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Broad's teammate James Anderson and Anil Kumble. Among fast bowlers, Anderson and Broad stand alone in the pantheon. The 37-year-old Broad dismissed the series' top run-scorer Usman Khawaja (3) early on and returned after tea to bounce out Travis Head (48) as his landmark victim, overtaking Ian Botham's record for an England bowler of 148 Australian wickets in the ...

Ashes 2023, 3rd Test: Mitchell Marsh's century put Australia ahead on Day 1

Mitch Marsh celebrated his test comeback by smashing a century and taking a wicket as Australia led England by 195 runs after day one of the third Ashes test at Headingley on Thursday. Marsh's scintillating run-a-ball 118 rescued Australia from 85-4. To put it in even better perspective, the allrounder and Travis Head combined for 155 runs. The rest of the team scored 108. After Marsh was out on the stroke of tea at 240-5, Australia collapsed to be all out for 263 with fast bowler Mark Wood in his test return taking 5-34. Marsh capped an unforgettable day in his first test in four years when he got England's third wicket when Zac Crawley nicked off. England was 68-3 at stumps, trailing by 195 runs. On their home ground, Joe Root was on 19 and Jonny Bairstow on 1.

Legendary umpire Simon Taufel opens up on Bairstow's dismissal controversy

Lambasting the "hypocrisy and lack of consistency" shown by some following Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping in the recent Lord's Test, former ICC elite umpire Simon Taufel said people cite the 'spirit of the game' when they don't like a dismissal under the laws of cricket. Bairstow's controversial stumping in the second Ashes Test has opened a debate with the likes of England coach Brendon McCullum and skipper Ben Stokes saying it was not in the spirit of the game. "My experience is when people don't like a dismissal under the Laws of Cricket, they cite the Spirit of Cricket to support their view," Taufel wrote in a lengthy post on LinkedIn. "Was Jonny Bairstow's dismissal at Lord's a breach of the Spirit of Cricket? Have you seen any umpire tell a fielding side that the keeper standing back is not allowed to attempt a stumping?" "Was there a complaint from anyone when Bairstow tried to stump Marnus exactly the same way in the first innings? What has Jonny Bairstow said abo

Ashes: Ollie Pope ruled out, to undergo surgery for shoulder dislocation

England vice-captain Ollie Pope was on Tuesday ruled out of the remainder of the Ashes series after dislocating his right shoulder during the second Test at the Lord's and will now undergo a surgery in coming days. The 25-year-old batter had hurt his shoulder when he landed awkwardly during Australia's first innings in the second Test last week. He then aggravated his injury during the second innings on the third day after England were erroneously told they were not permitted to use a substitute fielder in the second essay. "England and Surrey batter Ollie Pope has been ruled out of the rest of the LV Insurance men's Ashes series after dislocating his right shoulder during the second Ashes Test at Lord's last week." "Scans in London on Monday revealed the full extent of the injury and he will miss the rest of the summer campaign and will require surgery," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in statement on Tuesday. England have not named a replacement. The third Test is sched
