News about Mohammed Siraj

NASSER HUSSAIN: Forget any discussion about Bazball's merits; what England has lacked during this series in India is a ruthless streak to get through tough times. They haven't been able to prevent first-innings disasters from happening. It's simple as that. They're expensive, and it's cost them dear. I'm afraid they saved the worst until last, because they went from 100 for one to 183 for eight in the afternoon, which was the most frustrating part of the tour for me.

PAUL NEWMAN IN DHARAMSHALA: Thousands of England supporters who participated in this 'bucket-list' Test were ideally encouraged to enjoy the stunning views of the snow-capped Himalayan mountains. For the alternative, it was safer to watch a complete horror film. This was the most frustrating day of a tour so far, but England had promised a lot but not delivered maddeningly little. Worse than when they lost to a historic loss in Rajkot and even worse than when they threw it all away in Ranchi.

Fireworks have blazed the stand-by. This fourth Test may be short, and England will only hope, sweet, as they try to pull Rajkot behind them and level this series. Well, Ben Stokes said on Wednesday that he had never seen anything like the dark brown, ultra-dry, and cracked pitch that brought back memories of England's last Indian tour three years ago, when the team lost by a 3-1 series loss to rank turners. When asked to describe the surface two days out at this north-western outpost where an international stadium was constructed 12 years ago almost in honor of legendary local MS Dhoni,' said the England captain.

England captain Ben Duckett led England's comeback against India in the third Test with a remarkable century of 88 balls. On 133 and England on 207 for two, the opener was unbeaten on day two and England on 207 for two as they responded brilliantly to India's first innings total of 445 in Rajkot. And that was during Ravichandran Ashwin's dismissal of Zak Crawley for 15 and Mohammed Siraj trapping Ollie Pope lbw for 39 runs.

HELP NEWMAN IN RAJKOT: When asked on Tuesday if the draw, anathema to England in the Bazball period, was still off the table, Ben Stokes had a one-word answer, even if the pitch for Thursday's pivotal Test is a repeat of the one that resulted in high-scoring stalemate here more than seven years ago. 'Yeah,' said the England captain, one of six century designers in the drawn first Test at Rajkot of a series that began in 2016-17. India won convincingly. He had no reason to say anything else.

PAUL NEWMAN IN VISAKHAPATNAM: England fell short of a second miracle in a row this week after being bowled out for 292 runs on Monday, losing the second Test by 106 runs. After pulling off an amazing victory in the first Test, England got to a target of 399 and make history on the fourth day. However, even though they did have times when they were able to imagine escaping the near impossible, they were unable to repeat their first Test magic and left the series level at 1-1 with three others participating.

On days three and four of the match, Ben Stokes' team shocked the cricket world by producing a comeback for the ages, winning by 28 runs following stunning performances from Ollie Pope and Tom Hartley. Pope ruled India to win the Test by 196 runs, but Hartley recovered from a difficult first innings to take seven wickets, including the final one of Ravichandran Ashwin to win by a single run.

PAUL NEWMAN IN HYDERABAD: From being battered for six on his first ball in Test cricket to becoming the first English spinner since Jim Laker to a seven-wicket haul on debut. Take a bow, Tom Hartley. What a brilliant result from Lancashire's young left-arm spinner, and what a triumph for England to kick off this five-Test series. It came at the end of a fourth day of epic drama, with just four balls of the extra half hour remaining and England completing one of the best comebacks in Test history.

South Africa was bowled out for just 55 in 23.2 overs on their first morning of their second Test against India. The Prosecutors were hoping to capitalize on their stunning victory in last week's first match of the series, where they defeated India by an innings and 32 runs in Centurion. However, they had a tumultuous morning after winning the toss and electing to bat in Cape Town on Wednesday - a traditionally good batting wicket.

AADAM PATEL MUMBAI, MUMBAI: Walking along the streets of South Mumbai is to feel the pulse of Indian cricket. Mumbai is the game's heartbeat in these areas. Forget the Lord's, they say. This is the authentic home of cricket.

The Australian cricket team has come under fire for their perceived arrogance during the Test Championship final at The Oval following a 'disrespectful' incident at the end of the Indian first innings

ATT THE OVAL: Steve Smith warned England's batsmen about the dangers of Bazball after Australia took over the World Test Championship final against India. With Scott Boland leading the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston next week, India closed the second day on a tense 151 for five in reaction to Australia's punishing 469. Smith, a former 121, suggested that England's ardent defense against Australia's high-class attack might have come unstuck in under similar testing conditions.

India won the toss and elected first in the World Test Championship final on Wednesday, a rare development when Mohammed Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja for a duck. Warner and Marnus Labuschagne formed a tense team of 69, until Warner clipped a delivery down leg to lose his wicket. The veteran, who declared this week that he would not complete his Test career in Australia this week, is hoping that his knock would be enough to convince selectors that he is deserving of a spot in the first Ashes test at Edgbaston, who has underperformed this year.

After feathering a Mohammed Siraj delivery to the wicketkeeper, Khawaja got off his wicket for a duck, giving Australia a rocky start in the World Test Championship final at the Oval. The 36-year-old has been in good shape going into this year's Ashes series, but this untimely occurrence is not exactly intended to prepare for James Anderson and Stuart Broad's upcoming challenges.

As Australia levelled the ODI series after thrashing India by ten wickets in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, Steve Smith took a stunning catch. The Aussies ripped into India's batting line-up, with the hosts bundled out for 117, their fourth-lowest ODI total at home, as Mitchell Starc took five wickets and Sean Abbott chipped in with three wickets. As Smith, who is still standing in as skipper in place of Pat Cummins, began to his right to exclude Pandya for 1.

Warner will be assessed by team medical staff after suffering a blow to an elbow when he was on two and then being hit again on six when a bouncer from Mohammed Siraj slammed into his helmet

Allan Border, an Australian cricket legend, has warned David Warner that if his poor form persists, he could be booted from the Test team before the Ashes tour. On day one of the second Test in Delhi, the 36-year-old batted a jolly for his 15 runs, but the first wicket fell on Friday as Australia were bowled out for 263 in their first innings.

In India, travel agencies are used to receiving turning wickets, but curators' tactics in the run-up to the Border-Gavaskar series opener have been unusual. Ground workers were on the VCA Stadium pitch for hours on Tuesday, employing some bizarre tactics as soon as the Australians left the field after their training session.
