ASK NASSER: After losing by 434 runs to India in the third Test in Rajkot, England was left to lick their wounds. India's elving victory put them 2-1 up in the series of two games to play, but England captain Ben Stokes was unconcerned about their Bazball strategy.

On a live stream earlier this week, a Class A cricket match between Scarborough and Rockingham Mandurah District was being broadcast when viewers caught a comment made by the commentator. With Scarborough's score of 0/84, the caller gave Rockingham some bowling assistance as they sought to make the all-important breakthrough.

Ravi Shastri, an Indian cricket legend, believes that Australia's lack of discipline and undersupply of confidence in their defence has cost the team dearly during their humiliating four-match series in the subcontinent. As the world's No. 1, Australia emerged in India as the world's No. 1. Their chances of winning a first series in the country in 19 years fell away within just six days of cricket. In Nagpur, the tourists were defeated by an innings and 132 runs and lost by six wickets in Delhi after another tragic defeat as India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the fourth time in a row.

Cricket Australia has approved the Melbourne Cricket Club's call for a historic Test match between India and Pakistan to be played at the MCG. The MCC has officially petitioned CA for the first red-ball match in 15 years, but admit that the situation is "complicated."

NASSER HUSSAIN: India plays more Twenty20 cricket than on any other team because of the IPL and is extremely versatile and experienced in this style of the game. In what would be a highly awaited semi-final here in Adelaide on Thursday, they pose a major threat to England. However, there is no doubt that they are under more pressure than they are on the other team in the game. They can go from hero to zero so quickly due to their fanatical help. At the moment, India is riding high and most people are rated as favorites for this World Cup, but if one of them slips up all the surrounding noise could become very loud. If you believe England is under pressure, then multiply it by a million with India.

On Sunday, the sun shone county cricket from Scarborough to Hove. Storm clouds are also forming here and elsewhere. According to some, the sport is upheaval, oblivion, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
