Trescothick notes cricket's new warmth, stresses competitive fire

England assistant coach Marcus Trescothik feels cricket has become more friendly because of franchise tournaments all around the world, and that the constant nudging between India and the hosts in the ongoing Lord's Test has provided the much-needed competitive edge to the game. There has been exchange of words between India and England players in the third Test, but it has not led to bad blood, which is good for the game. "Having that competitive edge definitely helps the situation. It helps the atmosphere in the series," Trescothick said after the fourth day's play on Sunday. "Cricket has got a bit more friendly over the past few years because the players are together in franchise tournaments all over the world. Sometimes it's good to create something in the game. "Both teams are passionate about playing the game and it is understandable that at times it gets to a boiling point," he said. "There will be things that happen between the two teams but both teams know there's a line

Ex-England captain wants sides to complete full overs on each day of Tests

After seeing just 75 overs being bowled on day 2 of the third Test between Ben Stokes' side and India at Lord's, an exasperated former England captain Michael Vaughan wanted teams to mandatorily bowl full quota of 90 overs on all five days of a match. India bowled 83 overs on day 1 of the Test, while less than 75 overs could be squeezed in on day 2, leaving a combined shortfall of nearly 23 overs over two days. Vaughan said penalising the teams for slow over-rate was not good enough as the players were "quite rich" and won't be affected by the fines imposed on them. "I don't' think fines work. I think these lads (cricketers) are quite rich. I don't think the cash is going to affect them," opined Vaughan, who played 82 Tests and scored more than 7,500 runs across formats, on BBC Sport. He was at a loss to understand how teams were unable to complete the full quota of overs on the first four days when they managed all 90 overs on the fifth and final day. "(It's) been a problem for T
