Latham looks forward to giving own spin to Kiwi brand of cricket vs India

Newly-appointed New Zealand Test captain Tom Latham says he is looking forward to his progression from a "caretaker" to a full-time leader of the side that will allow him to put his "own spin on things" starting with the tour of India this week. Latham, who has captained the Black Caps Test side in nine previous matches, took over as full time captain from Tim Southee, who stepped down last week. He will lead a 15-strong squad, including Southee, to India on Friday for the three-match series starting October 16. "It's obviously a special feeling to be named full-time captain. It's massive honour and a huge privilege. I think in the past, it's always been a little bit of a caretaker role...But I guess, it's a different situation where I would be able to put a little bit of my own spin on things and what that looks like," the 32-year-old Latham said in a short video posted by New zealand Cricket. "I am not 100 per cent sure yet but hopefully we will see where it does look a little bi

Every match from now on will be crucial in Women's T20 WC, says Jemimah

Middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues urged India to move on from the forgettable defeat against New Zealand and focus on the upcoming matches, which she termed as crucial for her side's survival in the Women's T20 World Cup. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side crashed to a heavy 58-run defeat against the Kiwis on Friday night, and the Women in Blue will now face cross-border rivals Pakistan on Sunday in the second Group A match. This would be the game we would like to forget, because this is a World Cup. We need to keep moving on and keep picking ourselves up. We can't stay stuck at this game. I think that will show the character of this team, Rodrigues said in the post-match press meet. Rodrigues exhorted the team not to get panicked but to focus on the process that earned it some good wins in the past. We have been doing really well as a team, sticking to the process and taking one game at a time. We know every game from here is so crucial for us. We're going to go one game at a time

Sophie Devine trusts umpire's decision on run-out incident against India

New Zealand captain Sophie Devine, who inspired them to a big win over India in their Women's T20 World Cup opener, feels the run-out controversy surrounding Amelia Kerr may have "stalled" India's game flow but she stressed the importance of respecting umpires' judgment. India found themselves in the midst of an umpiring controversy against the Kiwis here on Friday, a match they lost by 58 runs. "Yeah it was an interesting one probably broke a little bit of momentum (of India) and maybe stalled them a little bit. But I think that's part of cricket isn't it, people's interpretations are always going to be slightly different," Devine said at the post-match media interaction. The incident occurred in the 14th over of New Zealand's innings when Kerr was run out by Indian wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh while she attempted a second run along with Devine. Kerr had already begun walking off the field before being called back by the umpires Anna Harris and Jacqueline Williams who ruled the ball .

Tim Southee quits NZ captaincy ahead of India tour, Tom Latham to take over

Tim Southee has stepped down from New Zealand captaincy ahead of the three-Test series against India and Tom Latham has been appointed in the veteran pacer's place. Southee captained New Zealand in 14 Tests in which the Kiwis won six, lost six and drew two. I've always tried to put the team first throughout my career and I believe this decision is the best for the team, said Southee in a New Zealand Cricket statement. I believe the way I can best serve the team moving forward is focusing on my performances on the field and getting back to my best, to continue taking wickets and helping New Zealand win Test matches." The 35-year-old right-arm pacer has so far played 102 Tests alongside 161 ODIs and 126 T20Is. With 382 wickets, he is the second-highest wicket-taker for the Kiwis after legendary Richard Hadlee (431). I will, as I've always done, continue to support my teammates, especially the exciting young bowlers making their way on the international stage. I wish Tom all the bes

New Zealand collapse in 2nd Test against Sri Lanka, nearing unwanted record

New Zealand are teetering on the brink of their heaviest defeat in Tests after being forced to follow on in the second Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday. Following a devastating morning session in Galle where Sri Lanka claimed eight wickets, the tourists were asked to follow on, trailing by a staggering 514 runs. Things only worsened for the Blackcaps, who lost opener Tom Latham before lunch in the second innings. New Zealand still need an improbable 511 runs on a turning Galle pitch just to avoid an innings defeat. New Zealand's worst-ever defeat was by an innings and 324 runs against Pakistan in 2002 and it would appear a record under threat here given the little resistance New Zealand's batters have offered against Sri Lanka's masterful spin attack. Sri Lankan left-arm spinner Prabath Jayasuriya dominated the first innings, taking six wickets for 42 runs, while debutant off-spinner Nishan Peiris was an impressive supporting act, claiming three scalps before dismissing Latham i
