James Anderson played 25 Test matches against Virat Kohli and dismissed the Indian batsman seven times. Overall, Anderson defeated Kohli ten times in 37 matches across formats.

New Delhi: The on-field rivalry between Virat Kohli and James Anderson has been one of the most intense player battles in the world of cricket over the years. But fans were denied the entertainment after Kohli pulled out of the ongoing Test series against England due to the birth of his son Akaay. Despite Kohli’s absence, India won the series after winning three consecutive matches. The fifth and final Test match starts on March 7 in Dharamsala.

Anderson, the oldest player in the visiting contingent at 41, said it was a shame that Kohli is not part of the series. He also said that it is a blessing in disguise for England as Kohli can take the game away from the opposition.

“You always want to play against the best players. And it was a shame that he (Kohli) was not part of the series. We’ve had some great battles over the years. But not just for me, I think as a team you want to play against the best in the world, and he certainly is,” Anderson told JioCinema.

Kohli is at the top when it comes to the best cricketers in the world. For Anderson, bowling to Kohli has been a challenge over the years, a struggle the right-arm England pacer has relished. “I think the English fans will be grateful that he is not playing because he is such a quality player.

“But from our point of view you want to test yourself, you want to go up against the best, and he’s been someone I’ve found very challenging to bowl against over the years, and it’s a shame he hasn’t played,” added the pacesetter.

The last time Kohli appeared for India in a Test match was against South Africa. He will now be seen directly in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) when he takes the field for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Meanwhile, Kohli is believed to be out of the country at the moment. He was caught on camera in London a few days ago with daughter Vamika. It is understood that Kohli and his family are all in Britain.

Jasprit Bumrah has become the first India pacer to top the ICC Men's Test Bowling Rankings.

New Delhi: Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah shared a cryptic story after becoming the number one ICC bowler in the latest Test rankings. Bumrah has played six Test matches on Indian soil.

Bumrah has now become only the fourth bowler from his country to reach the number one position in the Test bowlers rankings, after spinners Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Bishan Singh Bedi.

Gujarat Giants are heading into the WPL 2024 auction with a purse of Rs 5.95 crores and 10 slots to fill.

New Delhi: Former Indian cricket team head coach WV Raman opined that Gujarat Giants need fast bowlers and want to get some in the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 auction on Saturday in Mumbai. Gujarat Giants are going into the auction with a maximum amount of Rs 5.95 crores and 10 slots to fill.

They finished bottom of the table and released eleven players before the auction, including fast bowlers such as Annabel Sutherland, Kim Garth and Mansi Joshi, to name a few. “Their retentions suggest they were counting on hitters taking them.

“In this kind of competition, be it WPL or IPL, the foreigners either have to generate pace or hit fast bowlers. But what has happened here is that they have let go of all their fast bowlers,” Raman said in JIO Cinema.

“Annabel) Sutherland, for example, was let go and she is a very good all-rounder, which was a surprise to me. And now they have to look for two fast bowlers and they also need a few Indian batters and spinners,” Raman added.

Former India captain Anjum Chopra also echoed Raman and suggested that South African veteran Shabnim Ismail could be a good option for Gujarat Giants. “Annabel Sutherland was an integral part of the team, especially when Beth Mooney got injured and Sushma Verma came into the picture,” explains Chopra.

“I’m surprised they released her (Verma) too because she was the back-up wicketkeeper and the foundation of the team. I feel like they are trying to rebuild the team while retaining the resources,” said Chopra.

“I’m not too worried about Sutherland because they are looking for a real bowler. I won’t be surprised if they go after Shabnim Ismail. She is a regular who can bend her back and bowl, and a mix-and-match 50-50 kind of cricketer.

The left-arm seamer has been profligate at the death in T20Is for over a year and after giving away 37 runs in his first three overs on Sunday, no one would have thought he would be able to defend just 10 with the dangerous Matthew Wade on strike.

Bangalore, December 3: Arshdeep Singh felt that it was simply divine intervention and the unhinged faith of his skipper Suryakumar Yadav that enabled him to defend ten runs in the final of a thrilling fifth T20 International in which India edged Australia by just six runs.

The left-arm seamer has been profligate at the death in T20Is for over a year and after giving away 37 runs in his first three overs on Sunday, no one would have thought he would be able to defend just 10 with the dangerous Matthew Wade on strike.

“I gave away too many runs, but God gave me another chance and the support staff believed in me. To be honest, nothing went through my mind. Surya bhai told me that whatever has to happen, will happen,” said a beaming Arshdeep at the end of the match, after scoring the block gap deliveries and conceding just three runs.

During his own bowling, he said: “I have learned a lot of lessons, but I come back from the mistakes.”

Captain Surya felt that the young team ticked all the boxes in a comprehensive series win by 4-1 margin.

“It was a good series. The way the boys showed their skills was commendable. We wanted to be fearless, we wanted to enjoy being in the middle of it. I told them, “Do what’s right and just enjoy your game,” and they did the same. So happy with it.”

Surya admitted that if Washington Sundar had backed the two spinners, they would have won more easily as slow bowlers with pitch support.

“If he (Washington Sundar) would have been there, it would have been an extra. At Chinnaswamy, 200+ is easier to chase. 160-175 is a difficult story here. After 10 overs I told the boys we had a match.”.

Player of the match Axar Patel had no hesitation in admitting that it was nice to bowl on a track without dew to make things easy for the batters.

“Today was fun. The first four games there was dew. Today it was a tailor-made wicket for me. After a few games I was able to find my rhythm.”

Having already bowled alongside Ravi Bishnoi in a few Syed Mushtaq Ali matches for Gujarat, it became easier to operate together, the senior spinner said.

“We also played a few matches together for Gujarat. We complement each other, I hope this collaboration grows.”

Bishnoi, the ‘Player of the Series’, said he didn’t want to put the ball up as there was a chance of being hit.

“My plan is simple, stump to stump bowling works, just a short length works, setting it up can be hit. I wanted to be a typical leg-spinner by bringing the long-on forward.”

The challenge will be different on an away trip to South Africa, where he played the 2020 U19 World Cup.

“South Africa will throw different pitches, but I will try to attack there as well.”

With just four wins from nine matches, Pakistan finished fifth in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Morne Morkel’s contract expired next month.

With four wins from nine matches, Pakistan finished fifth in the points table behind India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. . This was the third time in a row that Pakistan exited the group stages in the ODI World Cups.

“Morne Morkel has resigned as the bowling coach of the Pakistan men’s team. The former South African fast bowler joined the Pakistan team on a six-month contract in June this year,” the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a press release.

“Morkel’s first assignment with the men’s team was their tour to Sri Lanka for the two-match Test series. Pakistan Cricket Board will announce his replacement in due course. Pakistan’s next assignment is a three-match Test series against Australia, which will take place from December 14, 2023 to January 7, 2024 in Australia,” it added.

Earlier, similar chants were heard at Eden Gardens in Calcutta during India’s match against South Africa, which they won quite comfortably. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul struck superb centuries as India produced a solid batting display to post a mammoth 410/4 after opting to bat.

Iyer (128 not out off 94 balls) hit a career-best ODI ton while KL Rahul (102 off 64 balls) hit the fastest World Cup hundred by an Indian as the duo added 208 runs off 128 balls. Rohit Sharma (61), Virat Kohli (51) and Shubman Gill (51) also scored blistering fifties.

For the Dutch, Bas de Leede (2/82), Paul van Meekeren (1/90) and Roelof van der Merwe (1/53) shared the wickets.

A furious row has broken out between the well-to-do residents of an upscale Sydney suburb and the “noisy” bowling club they say is making their lives a misery.

Locals in Mosman on the town’s lower north coast say the 120-year-old Warringah Bowling Club has abandoned its genteel sport roots for more raucous pursuits.

They now claim to be bothered by unbearable noise from a children’s bouncy castle, trivia nights, live bands, and taunts from drunk guests, including urinating in public.

The club says they have even received complaints about noise from their meat raffles and children playing on the premises.

But residents have now been warned the feud could force the club to close and sell out to a developer who wants to build a seven-story nursing home on the site, with the club on the roof.

The new building would block the multi-million dollar view across the harbor to the CBD for many neighbors in the condominiums that surround the club.

“We cannot survive without diversification,” club secretary Liarne Peek told Daily Mail Australia. “There is absolutely nothing else for us to do.

“It’s an incredibly lucrative deal for the club that will guarantee the club’s future for the next 99 years – and we’ll have a great view of the harbor from the roof.

“If these things continue, and they hold us back, and it looks like we’re not going to survive, that’s the next thing we’ll do. Say goodbye to your sunshine.

“The only downside is that we’re going to be closed for two and a half years while it’s being built, which means we’re no longer involved in the community, like the yoga classes we teach.”

The battle between the club and its neighbors on Bradleys Head Road erupted into the public eye when the license came up for renewal last week.

The spat began more than two years ago when locals claimed the club had been reimagined as a function center, sparking a flurry of complaints to NSW Liquor and Gaming.

Locals now claim that the bowlo is now just a “noisy beer garden” with “anti-social behaviour, including shouting, cheering, drinking contests and foul language.”

“I’m only 10 feet away and they’re standing along the fence yelling and cursing and using the ‘f’ word and the ‘c’ word,” neighbor Bronwyn Smith told me. The Sydney Morning Herald.

“They have customers who pee and pee all over our fence. All we want is for them to manage these out of control customers. It’s not too much to ask.’

They claim that a newly constructed pavilion deck has resulted in the clubhouse operating with doors open to connect indoors and outdoors during events.

A report to NSW Liquor and Gaming revealed that locals had been complaining about the noise from live bands and trivia nights are now ‘broadcasting… and some residents can understand the trivia questions’.

Local residents sent photos of a few drunk customers urinating in the parking lot of the club’s day care center, saying that guests often hung out in the parking lot “talking loudly, yelling and swearing.”

The club insisted there was no evidence the two men in the photo were peeing customers.

Neighbors have now demanded that the club tear down the pavilion, or put restrictions on its use, and all outdoor events must end by sunset, with most events held indoors, and a strict 10pm curfew, with CCTV and sound level monitoring.

Police say they have been working with residents and the club to find a solution, with acoustic blinds and soundproofing installed since then, as well as a new fence.

But the complaints kept pouring in, even though police found a problem with only two of 26 calls from neighbours, the report said.

Alderman Simon Menzies said residents complained about ‘anything and everything’.

“If the bowlo goes down because of the neighbors, the developers will come in and put high-rises in it, which will upset the neighbors even more,” he added.

Ms Peek added that her young staff are now afraid to pick up the phone when it rings in the club.

“It’s only three locals complaining, but when they call, they can be aggressive on the phone,” she said. “My employees don’t want to take a call anymore in case it’s them.

“It’s part of our daily lives now.”

Mosman Council said the club has improved its facilities during the Covid lockdowns and the problems started when lockdown measures started to be relaxed.

The club says it has now banned lucrative 18th and 21st birthday parties and all bands are now playing indoors with all windows closed.

It says it has also limited pavilion hours of use to 6 p.m. in winter, 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and 7 p.m. on Sundays in summer.

Children are now also prohibited from playing in the bowling alley and will be confined to a smaller area where they can be better supervised.

It also plans to employ security guards to enforce the club’s rules of conduct, with two security guards for functions of more than 100 guests.

But it added: ‘The club is one of the few local venues where customers can enjoy being outdoors.

It is ‘unreasonably draconian’ to require that the number of outdoor events, such as barefoot bowls, be limited to four per month in the summer.

“Many members are older and frail adults who prefer to sit outside where there is less risk of Covid transmission…a month is unreasonable and unfair.”

Council checks of noise levels in December 2022 and January 2023 found that while the “noise was audible, it was not considered offensive or unreasonable”.

NSW Liquor and Gaming has now issued a formal warning to the club over the ‘sometimes unnecessary disruption caused by the use of the outdoor pavilion’.

It added: ‘The club has an ongoing obligation to proactively deal with any disruptions caused by its operations.

“In the event that there is an escalation of disruption and if direct evidence is provided that demonstrates poor management of disruption issues, it is open to regulatory intervention.”
