Chokers tag will stay till we win the Cricket World Cup says, SA's Bavuma

The current South African team members are divided whether the chokers tag applies to them or not but everyone is aware that the narrative will stick with them until the Proteas win a silverware, skipper Temba Bavuma said on Friday. Despite having world class players at their disposal, South Africa have never gone beyond the semifinal stage at the World Cup, earning them the tag of perennial chokers. "I've used it a couple of times but you don't really hear it coming about within the team," Bavuma said when asked if the current group uses the word "choke". "I think there are guys who believe that it applies to this team, there are guys who don't believe that it applies to this team. "The belief amongst the team, that's the most important bit I bring up to just make sure that we're not kind of skirting around the issue that it's something that is there, it's something that will always have to deal with." Bavuma feels the team needs to accept the narrative, which will go away by its

Cricket World Cup 2023: Sachin, Dhoni and the tale of two sports shops

Sachin Tendulkar was a constant presence next to Mahendra Singh Dhoni at slips during Test matches. It seems Tendulkar and Dhoni are destined to stand adjacent to each other, just like they did on the field, in retirement too. Call it a quirky coincidence, two sports goods and apparel shops named after two of India's biggest sporting icons stand next to each other on the Wallajah Road, opposite the Chepauk. You can't actually miss 'Sachin Sports' which opened back in 1998 and 'Dhoni Sports' which was born in 2016 while walking towards the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The reverence for 'God' is universal but Chennai's love for 'Thala' (elder brother) is deeply personal. "Obviously, Dhoni is huge in Chennai but if your products aren't good enough you won't be able to attract customers. We don't just look at selling sports stuff on match days but more on non-match days when people might flock in," said young owner Syed Naseeruddin Shahbaz. Shahbaz was an accomplished national level hocke

Cricket World Cup 2023: Gill down with dengue, Dravid to wait for 36 hours

The Indian team's worries ahead of its opening World Cup game against Australia have been compounded with in-form Shubman Gill suspected to be suffering from dengue and the batter is a doubtful starter for Sunday's match against Australia here. Ishan Kishan could open the innings in case Gill is ruled out. The BCCI is yet to confirm the nature of the illness but head coach Rahul Dravid did not want to throw in the towel yet with 36 hours still to go for the match. He is feeling better today. The medical team is monitoring him, and he is doing better," Dravid said during a press conference here on Friday. Further Dravid, who is known for being non-committal, played it safe. He is not technically out for the first game. The medical team is monitoring him and (we) will take the decision after tomorrow, Dravid said. Earlier, the BCCI said they were waiting for updates on Gill. He's under the weather, the medical team is closely monitoring him. We are hoping he gets better soon. We w

Hosts responsible for our cricketers security at CWC 2023 says, Pakistan FO

Pakistan on Thursday said it is the responsibility of the host country to provide full security and a conducive sporting environment to Pakistani cricketers while they are in India for the ICC Cricket World Cup matches. Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch was asked at the weekly briefing about the security concerns regarding Pakistani players during the tournament. "As far as the security of the Pakistan cricket team is concerned, we have said in the past and I will reiterate that it is the responsibility of the host country to provide full security and a conducive sporting environment to our cricket team while they are in India for the ICC World Cup," she said. On the issue of visas for Pakistanis to visit India to watch matches, she said Pakistan was in contact with the Indian authorities on this matter. "We expect the Indian authorities to immediately grant visas to Pakistani journalists and spectators who wish to watch the Cricket World Cup matches in India," she ..

CWC 2023: Ashwin trains intensely, hints of his inclusion in IND playing 11

Giving a strong indication of him turning up in India's World Cup opener against Australia here on Sunday, veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin went through an engaging net session here on Thursday. Ashwin could be included as the third spinner behind Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav against the Aussies ahead of pacer Shardul Thakur considering a possibly gripping pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, and his hold over veterans David Warner and Steve Smith. Ashwin, who takes the ball away from the left-handers with his off-breaks, has had the measure of Warner in the past, dismissing him 11 times in the Tests. The Aussie had batted right-handed in the recent second ODI against India at Indore to counter Ashwin. Smith, a consistent run-scorer in ODIs, too had his struggles against the Indian maestro, especially in Test cricket. Hence, it would not be a big surprise to see Ashwin getting a nod ahead of Thakur in the first match at Chepauk. Ashwin, who replaced injured Axar Patel

CWC 2023: Fantastic to see Devon and Rachin bat amazingly says, Tom Latham

New Zealand's stand-in captain Tom Latham was delighted to have found a new hero in ton-up Rachin Ravindra as they began their World Cup campaign, obliterating champions England by 9 wickets here on Thursday. The 23-year-old Ravindra (123 not out) combined with senior pro Devon Conway (152 not out) to complete a mauling of England after their bowlers set it up with measly spells. "Obviously, a fantastic partnership between Rachin and Devon. From the 30-over mark onwards, to restrict them to 280 was fantastic," Latham said at the post-match presentation ceremony. Not done with praises for the centurion duo, Latham added, "Probably, the most pleasing thing was Devon and Rachin just reacted to what was being bowled. Rachin played a fantastic innings and was proud of him. Looking forward to getting around him tonight." Opting to field after winning the toss, New Zealand bowlers did well to restrict a flamboyant England line-up to 282 for 9 in the allotted 50 overs, and that was not los

Cricket World Cup: Lukewarm crowd response for opening game creates furore

There will be two World Cups being held simultaneously in India. The first one on days when Indian team plays and it will be even difficult to get hold of a ticket. Virat Kohli made it clear in his Instagram post that no one should ask him for tickets. The stands will be jam-packed and you will feel ODI cricket is alive and kicking. The other one is more stark in contrast like the opening game between current champions England and runners-up New Zealand at the Narendra Modi Stadium, which saw the presence of barely 10,000 people at the start. By the time, the sun stopped beating down hard, it increased to around 15 to 17,000. The two teams, which played the greatest World Cup match during that epic final at the Lord's in 2019, perhaps wouldn't have visualised empty stands staring at them. Looking dapper in jet black suit, ICC's Global Ambassador Sachin Tendulkar walked in with the trophy but the greatest ODI batter of all time, even in retirement, wouldn't be used to this kind of .
