Pat Cummins & his Wife and Michael Clarke (Photo Source: The Australian team recently suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against Pakistan. Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan created history, the team won the ODI series on Australian soil after 22 years. Pakistan had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the first match of the series. Then after Pakistan won by 9 wickets in the second ODI, the series was tied at 1-1. The third ODI was played in Perth on 10 November. Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were released from the squad in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.

It did not seem that Australia wanted to win the series: Former player gave his opinion regarding the playing XI of the host in the third ODI against Pakistan.

Pakistan has won the three-match ODI series by 2-1. Michael Clarke (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Michael Clarke has raised questions on Australia’s playing XI in the third and final ODI match played against Pakistan. Michael Clarke is quite surprised to see why Australia rested its star players in the third ODI against Pakistan. Let us tell you that in the third ODI match played between these two teams, Australia rested Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. His decision proved wrong and Pakistan defeated Australia in this match. Not only this, Pakistan has defeated Australia at home for the first time in 22 years. Speaking on Big Sports Breakfast, Michael Clarke said, ‘I am a bit surprised. Only 11 days are left for the first Test match against Team India to be played in Perth and the Australian team made a lot of changes in the playing XI of the third ODI against Pakistan. If Australia had won the first two matches, it would have been important to understand that the big players should be rested in the third match. But it was very important for Australia to win this series and I think they had nothing to do with it. Michael Clarke raised questions on team management Michael Clarke further said, ‘If you take it lightly then it is a very bad thing. Very few fans are coming to the stadium to watch ODI cricket and it is very important to tell them that this format is still great and they should come to the stadium in maximum numbers to watch the matches. Pakistan has won the three-match ODI series by 2-1. Now the three-match T20 series between these two teams is going to start from November 14 in Brisbane. Even though the hosts may not be able to win the ODI series, the team would definitely like to win the T20 series. Talking about the third ODI match, Australia, batting first, scored 140 runs after losing all the wickets. Pakistan achieved the target against Australia by losing two wickets.

BGT 2024: Michael Clarke wants to see the player who played his last international match in 2019 open against India.

The five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. Michael Clarke (Photo Source: Twitter) Former player Michael Clarke believes that Cameron Bancroft should be included in the Australia team in the five-match Test series against Team India. Let us tell you that the five-match Test series between Team India and Australia is starting from November 22. The first test between these two teams will be played in Perth. Experienced all-rounder Cameron Green is injured and it is finding it very difficult for him to play in this series. Michael Clarke said on Sky Big Sports Breakfast, ‘I don’t think it would be right to select anyone for two matches. I said the same for Sam Konstas. I think he is a talented player and he has started the season with a bang. But you cannot say that a player who has scored just two centuries is like Cameron Bancroft or Harris who has scored 12 centuries in 4 years. He has played first class cricket for a long time and his name should be the first in this list. I would be very disappointed by the fact that I am the captain of the Australian team and I do not know who will open the team in the first Test match at this time. Cameron Bancroft played his last international test match in 2019 Let us tell you that Cameron Bancroft played his last international Test match against England in 2019. However, this player has performed brilliantly in domestic cricket for some time. If Australia wants to make it to the finals of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then it is very important for them to defeat Team India. Very soon Cricket Australia will announce the Australia squad for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. It is going to be very exciting to see who is given the responsibility of opening the Australian team in the upcoming Test series.

It is a mental illness, and he has told how his mental health is having a bad effect on his body. Clark remains sad all day long and experiences a lot of depression. He said that he started experiencing this recently. But the surprising thing is that he has not got this disease treated nor has he made any such plan. “I have never had my mental health checked. I think this is a normal thing in today’s world and things get better slowly on their own. You can ask my parents, I have never even gone to a doctor for this. My condition has become such that I remain very sad and upset throughout the day, and for many days I do not move from one place, I just lie down all day.” “I just couldn’t get out of bed. Losing family members, losing some of my closest friends, so I think I was the one who suffered the most, but I think it was grief. I don’t know if it was depression or not. I never went to the doctor to get medication to take care of my sadness and depression.”

T20 World Cup 2024: Virat Kohli is one step closer to scoring big, says Michael Clarke

Virat Kohli has scored only five runs in three innings so far. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: X/Twitter) The performance of Indian team’s best batsman Virat Kohli has been very poor so far in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 being played at the moment. He has scored only five runs in three innings so far. In the match played against America, Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion on the first ball without opening his account. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke has put forth his opinion on his form. Let us tell you, in this important tournament, Virat Kohli is opening the innings for the Indian team along with Rohit Sharma. This opening pair has not yet given a good start to the Indian team. According to Michael Clarke, even though Virat Kohli could not leave his mark in the group stage, he can be seen playing a match-winning innings for India in the upcoming matches. Speaking on ESPNcricinfo’s Around the Wicket, Michael Clarke said, ‘He had a very good performance in the Indian Premier League. I am not worried that Kohli has scored three low scores so far. This means that Virat is one step closer to playing a big innings. This is the most important stage of the tournament where the best players are always seen performing well.’ Michael Clarke made a big statement about the Indian team’s playing XI Michael Clarke further said, ‘If they feel that this is their best playing 11, then they should not make any changes in it. The pitch on which the team was playing till now was very difficult for the opening batsmen. I don’t think three low scores will make any difference to Virat. If India feels that Kohli should open in their best 11, then it is the best thing. In IPL also, there was talk that Virat will be seen batting at number three in this Indian team.’ India won their first match in the group stage against Ireland by 8 wickets while they also defeated Pakistan. India also defeated USA while the team had to face defeat against Canada.

“It is only a matter of time for players like Rohit Sharma” – Michael Clarke said on Hitman’s form

Rohit Sharma (Image Credit- Twitter X) Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke shared his views on Rohit Sharma’s recent form. Actually, Rohit started IPL 2024 in a brilliant manner, but in the last six IPL matches (6, 8, 4, 11, 4 and 4) there has been a decline in his form. Rohit made a great start to the tournament, scoring 261 runs in the first six matches at an average of 52.20 and an excellent strike rate of 167.31. However, his average fell below 15 in his next six matches and he managed only 69 runs during this period. In the most recent match of Mumbai Indians against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rohit was out after scoring 4 runs in 5 balls. Talking about Rohit’s form, Clarke said that the team is not worried about it. It is just a matter of time that Rohit will be back in form soon. Michael Clarke’s big statement regarding Rohit Sharma In Star Sports show Cricket Live Rohit Sharma Said, “How many times have you seen good balls get hit? This happened with Sky (Suryakumar Yadav). Exactly the same ball, exactly the same shot, except it went for six, Rohit was out on the same ball. Rohit, being the intelligent player he is, his own performance will undoubtedly be a disappointment, especially considering his strong start. In my opinion, a break to freshen up could do wonders for him, but as an Indian captain and a key player of Mumbai Indians you don’t get breaks, so he has to regain form. Clarke further said, “I saw him bat in the nets the day before the last match when his back was a little stiff. He was in a very good mood. She’s happy, which is actually a good sign. It doesn’t look like he’s struggling with his timing, it’s just a matter of getting out. With a player like Rohit, it is only a matter of time that he regains his form. Hopefully, he will stress less and focus on his game because he is too talented to miss time and again. He is at his best when he is timing the ball rather than trying to force it. He is a great player and I have no doubt that he will be back soon. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again in the World Cup (laughs).”

He is crazy.” “…there is a lot of cricket left in him” Michael Clarke added: “James Anderson’s record in England is absolutely fantastic.
