“Players were too lazy” – Nasir Hussain on Sri Lanka’s poor performance in Manchester Test

Apart from this, Hussain believes that Sri Lankan players looked very sluggish on the third day of the first Test against England. He said that the visiting team will have to reconsider their performance in case of defeat. He said, “If Sri Lanka lose this Test, they will look back at the first hour on Friday and ask themselves whether they were fully prepared, because it was a complete contrast to the fight they showed over the first two days. Test cricket is like arm wrestling – you can’t drop your concentration at any level – and I felt they were quite lethargic in the morning. They were not ready for the match to start.

(Photo Source: Sony Liv) India’s star batsman Virat Kohli scored 24, 14 and 20 runs respectively in the recently concluded three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and interestingly, he got out against spinners in all the matches. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra said, Kohli, who is known to be a very good player of spin, misread the line and length against them. Virat Kohli was out LBW in all the matches of the ODI series against Sri Lanka and every time a review was taken on the ball of his dismissal. ODI series In the first match, Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed him, while Jeffrey Vandersay and Dunith Welalage took his wickets in the second and third matches respectively. Kohli’s struggle against spin is not new. In the last few years, he has struggled a lot against wrist spinners and this trend continued in the Sri Lanka series as well. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Virat Kohli was LBW three times in three innings against spinners. I don’t remember when this happened last time, he was playing the wrong line and also used the review every time. He was not able to put pressure on the bowlers with his batting in the series.” The cricketer-turned-commentator also spoke about Shreyas Iyer, who has also struggled in the series. Iyer made his debut after being dropped from BCCI’s central contract but failed to make a mark in the three-match series. He had a great chance to perform well and cement his place in the squad for the Champions Trophy 2025, but Iyer scored only 38 runs in the series. Speaking about this, Chopra said that he is not sure why good spin players are struggling. He said, “Shreyas Iyer is considered a good player of spin, but he too was unable to counter the spinners twice and got out due to speed once. If the performance of our good spin players is like this, then I don’t know why this is happening.”

Not only this, he bowled lethally in the last overs against Pakistan and South Africa in the final and put the match in India’s bag. Ravi Shastri said on the ICC review, ‘I think the match played between India and Pakistan was the most exciting match of this tournament. In this match, India gave a tough challenge and they got to know with which combination they have to play further in this tournament. Not only this, the last five overs were also very important in the final match of ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Jasprit Bumrah took the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan at a crucial time in the match played against Pakistan, after which India took the lead in the match. All this happened during the first ball of the new spell. Ravi Shastri praised Jasprit Bumrah a lot Ravi Shastri further said, ‘Jasprit Bumrah has told the world what you should do with the ball whenever it is in your hand. Very few people have done this. Wasim Akram and Waqar Younus have done this in their high level days when they used to play white ball cricket. This could also be seen with Shane Warne, he knew where the ball would pitch and hit the wicket. Players who recognize the ability of their game are able to do this. Something similar was seen with Jasprit Bumrah in this World Cup.’ Regarding Rishabh Pant, Ravi Shastri said, ‘He did his job well with the bat and surprised everyone with his wicketkeeping. It is very difficult for anyone to recover so quickly and then move forward like this. He too must have felt a lot of pressure in this tournament because it is not easy for any player to make a comeback so quickly.’ 5 Australian players who scored half-century in their debut IPL match IPL 2024: These 11 foreign players took crores of rupees but flopped IPL 2024: 5 players who hit the most sixes in the 19th and 20th overs of IPL 5 fastest bowlers in IPL history Who are the head coaches of all 10 teams in IPL 2024?

‘He thinks he has become bigger than the game’, former cricketer slammed Wanindu Hasaranga for his poor performance in the second T20I

Former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali criticized Hasarga’s performance Wanindu Hasaranga (Image Credit- Twitter The second T20 match between Sri Lanka and India was played in Pallekele on 28 July, where the visiting team won by 7 wickets in a rain-affected match. Wanindu Hasaranga proved to be very expensive in the match and he gave 34 runs in a spell of two overs, while taking only one wicket. At the same time, former Pakistan batsman Basit Ali has criticized Hasaranga’s performance. He said that the 27-year-old feels that he has become bigger than the game. Speaking on his YouTube channel, he said, Number one all-rounder, Wanindu Hasaranga. I think he has become bigger than cricket. Cricket is small, he is big. He got out playing a bad shot on the first ball. He was not good with the ball either. Suryakumar Yadav and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a lot of runs. Basit Ali took a dig at Hasranga He took a dig at Hasaranga (Wanindu Hasaranga) and said that Sri Lanka should give him the Player of the Match award and give him rest from the remaining matches. Basit Ali said, according to me the Man of the Match should be given to Hasranga. Give him the Player of the Match award and ask him to rest for the third match. He hits silly shots and his bowling is also the same. It seems like he has become Boom Boom Bumrah, he should learn from Bishnoi. Apart from this, the former Pakistani cricketer said about the batting of the Sri Lankan team that, the middle order batsmen of Sri Lanka could not perform. I think India’s dominance is such that Sri Lanka is afraid of the name of India. In both the matches, good partnerships were made and then suddenly broke. I don’t know whether their middle order knows how to bat or not.

Stokes further said- Wood is a really fast and skillful bowler. He opened the match for us. It seemed like he was looking to take a wicket on every ball. Obviously, when the ball comes at a speed of 150 kilometers and it reverse swings, it will be very difficult to bat. Wood is very important and the skill he has is the X factor.

After a poor performance, Shadab Khan made a strong comeback in LPL

Lanka Premier League player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. Shadab Khan (Photo Source: X) Lanka Premier League (LPL) player and Pakistan leg-spin allrounder Shadab Khan has had a memorable start to LPL Season 5 with Colombo Strikers. In his very first match, he took a hattrick against Kandy Falcons and since then has taken 16 wickets, the most by any bowler in this LPL season. Shadab himself admitted that it has been a remarkable turnaround for him; after not taking a single wicket for Pakistan for quite some time, he is enjoying his return to form in Sri Lankan conditions, especially at his team’s home ground Colombo. Shadab Khan gave this statement on his comeback “I was struggling for three months. I hadn’t taken a single wicket in the last seven international matches. Coming here, starting bowling and now always taking wickets – that’s the beauty of cricket. You should enjoy these situations; sometimes you do well, sometimes you don’t. But there should be consistency in the process.” “The pitch was slow and a bit grippy, which helped us. But T20 cricket is very challenging now, with 200 runs being easily achievable. As a spinner, you need variations to succeed on different tracks. Without variations, you can score runs, but with them, you can also take wickets and stop runs. It is important to land the ball in good areas.” “I am performing well for my team and that is a good sign. Taking wickets as the main bowler is positive for me and my team. I want to contribute in all three phases – bowling, fielding and hopefully with the bat as well.”
