Debut Century at Lords 


Day 1 of the first test of English Summer has come to a close and the Day belongs to New Zealand and Devon Conway. New Zealand Dominated the Day Totally and the English side looked flat today, their bowling attack looked a bit too onedimensional and going forward I don't think England can afford to go with an attack that consists of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson cause the three are similar bowlers in skill and pace which makes it easier for the opposition to adjust too and score runs as there isn't any variation to the bowling attack. 

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat this morning and they went about their work with seeing out the new ball they reached lunch at 85/1 losing the wicket of Latham for 23 of 57. He played on to a delivery from Ollie Robinson. Conway was on 43 and Williamson on 13 at Lunch 

The middle session was an even one with New Zealand losing two wickets but they did add a further 59 runs in that session. During the second session, they lost the wickets of Williamson 13 of 33 who played on to a delivery from Anderson. They also lost the wicket of Ross Taylor for 14 of 38, he was LBW to Robinson. They went into Tea on 144/3 with Conway on 71 and Nicholls on 10.

The final Session was all New Zealand as they scored 102 runs without losing a wicket. Conway continued to make his debut more memorable by bringing up his century and Nicholls gave good company as they kept the board ticking. The two put together a partnership of 132 of  289. Conway finished the day unbeaten on 136 of 240  and Nicholls 46 of 149. The two will resume tomorrow when play starts again for Day 2.

The final scorecard summary looked like this.

New Zealand  246/3      86 overs

Conway 136* (240)                                             Robinson 2-50 (16)

Nicholls 46* ( 149)                                              Anderson 1-55 (20)

SA20 review

By
 The SA20 season 2 has ended with Sunrisers Eastern Cape successfully defending their title to win back-to-back titles. The Sunrisers were the team to beat as they played an excellent brand of cricket and dominated throughout the tournament winning 7 matches and losing 2 with 1 no result to top the table in the league stage.  The final of SA20 season 2 was played by the 2 best teams of the tournament the Sunrisers Eastern Cape and Durban Super Giants. Sunrisers proved too good for Super Giants beating them by 89 runs to not only successfully defend their SA20 title but also win the head-to-head between the 2 teams 3-1.  SA20 season 2 saw some unbelievable performances with quite a few young South African players taking the opportunity and shining. The young standout SA batsman were:  Rickelton 530 runs ave 58.88, strike-rate 173.77 Breetzke 416 runs ave 32, strike-rate 135.50  Stubbs 301 runs ave 60.20, strike-rate, 168.15   Mulder 297 runs...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test Day 1 review

By
  The third test match between Australia and Pakistan kicked off today at the SCG Sydney. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first. However, their decision did not go well as the Australian bowlers dominated the Pakistani batsmen from the very beginning. Pakistan lost their openers, Abdulla Shafiq and Saim Ayub early in the innings and were struggling to recover from there. Babar Azam and Shan Masood tried to stabilize the innings, but the Australian bowlers kept on taking wickets at regular intervals. Mohammed Rizwan, Agha Salaman and Aamer Jamal played some excellent innings in the lower middle order to rescue Pakistan  At the end of the day, Pakistan were bowled out for 313 runs. Pat Cummins was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, taking 5 wickets for 61 runs.  Josh Hazlewood took 2 wickets, while Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Marsh took 1 wicket each. Australia are 6-0 at stumps trailing by 307 runs  Australia will be happy with th...
