EXTRAS 

W:4 LB:6 




England were finally put out of there misery following there 33 run defeat to the Australian side in Ahmedabad. Australia went into the game without two key players, Mitchell Marsh who flew back to Australia for personal reasons and Glenn Maxwell who was ruled out on the account of an concussion suffered when he feel of a golf buggy. After being asked by England to bat first, Australia's openers Travis Head  (11) and David Warner  (15) feel cheaply to Chris Woakes. Steven Smith and Marnus Labuschange came together to rebuild Australia's innings. Smith looked in excellent form but fell after 44 to Adil Rashid for the seventh time in ODI's. Filling in for Maxwell, Green (47) and Labuschange (71) put on 61 before the latter trapped lbw by the extra pace of Mark Wood. Just as Australia's inning looked like stalling, Marcus Stonis (35) - in the team for Marsh and Adam Zampa (29) added some late runs to take them to 286 - with Woakes the pick of England’s bowlers with 4 for 54.England’s chase began terribly. Jonny Bairstow's torrid World Cup continued as he was caught down the leg side first ball off Mitchell Starc. Joe Root (13) followed his fellow Yorkshireman back to the sheds as England were reduced to 19 for 2.Dawid Malan has been England’s standout performer with the bat at the World Cup, the competition has not been stiff, and he made 50 before picking out Head on the fence off Pat Cummins. Jos Buttler fell to the spin of Zampa, as England’s stock plan in recent years - rely on Ben Stokes - looked the option once again. After starting his campaign late due to injury, Stokes arrived in Ahmedabad badly out of form. He took time to get going, but found an ally in Moeen Ali and they threatened to rip the game from Australia’s grasp with a 63-run partnership. But when Stokes (64) and Ali (42) departed - both to the leg spin of Zampa - England’s task looked hopeless. David Willey (15) and Woakes (32) frayed Australian nerves with some crisp hitting, but Zampa put the gloss on a player-of-the-match performance (29 runs, three wickets, one catch) with a superb diving grab to remove the former as Australia claimed the win to move on to 10 points. 


The final score ended up being AUS: 286 ENG: 253

This is what Australia Skipper Pat Cummins had to say:

"The boys have played brilliantly. I feel like every game we have improved a little bit. I still don't think we played the complete game or have really closed out a game but it feels like it's all come together. "You've seen a marked improvement. Everyone's diving around, all muddy. All the boys want to be in the heat of things, so it's great."

REWIND: 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL

  Would you believe me if I said this world cup was ten years ago on the 13th of July, well you probably wouldn't. In this blog were going to take a look at the matches that built up to Germanys 1-0 win over Argentina, Thanks to Mario Götze of course. GERMANY If  you ask me, Germany's 2014 world cup squad was one of the most dynamic and raw-talented teams we have seen in a good while, for one reason they had a team. That might not make sense but if you look at other teams, who have one or two good players you will see that they struggle, but when you look at Germany it had an entire roster of top tier players most of whom played together at club level.  Germanys squad for the world cup included: Manuel Neuer  Kevin Großkretz  Matthias Ginter  Benedikt Höwedes  Mats Hummels  Sami Kedira  Bastain Schweinsteiger  Mesut Özil  Andre Schürrle  Lucas Podolski  Miroslav Klose  Ron-Robert Zieler  Thomas Muller  Julia...

CRICKET HISTORY: SANDPAPERGATE

  Today is the first instalment of cricket history and iam going to cover quite a infamous event, Sandpapergate.  For those of you that don't know Sandpapergate was a ball tampering incident that involved Cameron Bancroft, Captain Steve Smith and David Warner. During a test match against South Africa in March of 2018, Cameron Bancroft was caught rubbing the match ball with a small yellow object. He was then seen stuffing said object into his trousers, when approached by the umpire he pulled out a dark microfiber sunglass pouch from his pocket. The umpires inspected the ball and concluded that it had not been noticeably tampered with. At the press conference at the end of the days play Bancroft, accompanied by Captain Steve Smith admitted that he was caught attempting to alter the condition of the ball using a short length of adhesive tape to which dirt and grit has adhered, forming and abrasive surface.  Five days later, after an investigation by Cricket Australia, Bancro...

 Australia beat Pakistan by 62 runs yesterday, which earns them there second win in the world cup which happens to move them up into fourth behind South Africa and ahead of New Zealand. The Aussies have started the world cup campaign by losing to India by 6 wickets and South Africa 134 runs. They redeemed themselves by beating Sri Lanka by 5 wickets and Pakistan by 62 runs. This is what Australia's captain, Pat Cummins had to say:  "That was great. Pretty tough playing here but good to get a win. Proper from the openers, it set the tone and we want to take the game on like that. The key in ODIs [one day internationals] is to carry on. You get on breakthrough and it looks tough for the next guy. Batting for long like our openers did, was great. Zampa has been awesome. Showed his class, he's a wicket taker . Babar and Iftikhar were big wickets. Were coming of two wins and have a three or four- day break before the next game. Can take a couple of days off, then get to work. ...
