Hasarsnga was almost unplayable, producing a mesmerising spell in which he claimed 7 for 19 off 5.5 overs, leaving the Zimbabwe batters all at sea as they crashed to 96 all out in 22.5 overs. Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis then led the spirited run chase as they scurried to the under par target in 16.4 overs. Image source: © ICC 2023 ...

Australia wrest back initiative after Pakistan dominance – Hazelwood bamboozles Pakistanis – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Australia v Pakistan 2023-24 | Third Test | Day 3 Josh Hazelwood led an Australian rout of a hapless Pakistan as a deteriorating SCG surface saw the visitors collapse dramatically to put Australia in command for a series sweep. In a game where fortunes fluctuated wildly, Australia handled the conditions better to win an epic arm wrestle. Butter fingered Pakistan let Australia off the hook as they continued to squander any chance of a consolation win on tour. With a day lost to rain, overnight batters Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith appeared to be in control taking the score to 187 for 2 wickets before Pakistan struck quick blows to remove both of them. At 187 for 4, Ayub Saim at mid-off then dropped another important sitter with Mitchell Marsh ...

Warner and Labuschagne lead Australia to an eight wicket win and series sweep – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Australia showed no mercy as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne crushed Pakistan racing to victory chasing a mediocre 130 for a clean sweep of the three Test series. Warner, in his last Test in the Baggy Green, was at his flamboyant best producing a wide array of strokeplay he is renowned for, leaving lasting memories of arguably the best opening batsman Australia has ever produced in all formats. His departure from the red ball game leaves a void that is hard to fill and it will undoubtedly take considerable time to produce an opener with the same consistency and and flair. Australia won the series on the back of Cummins superb efforts with the ball which fittingly gave him the man-of-the-series as he led his team remarkably ...

Warner fails after two lives in rain shortened second day. – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Australia limped to 106 for 2 off 47 overs when bad light followed by rain, brought a halt to the second day’s play which was subsequently abandoned. David Warner playing his last Test, survived two lives but was unable to capitalise on his good fortune to be snapped up at first slip for 34. A clearly disappointed Warner left the SCG to a standing ovation from the 30,000 plus crowd. His close buddy and opening partner for many years, Usman Khawaja figured in their 22nd 50 run partnership before Warner departed. Khawaja who has had tremendous success at the SCG appeared set for a half century until Pakistan’s batting hero Aamir Jamal bowling with venom, forced him to edge one to the slips for a painstaking 47. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith ...

Cummins five wicket hat-trick fails to give Australia a decisive edge as Pakistan tail wags. – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pat Cummins continued his heroics with the ball while destroying the myth about the SCG being a spin friendly track. While Nathan Lyon toiled fruitlessly on a bouncy track, the Pakistani batters were treated to another barrage of short stuff that had them ducking and weaving as Australia’s four-prong pace attack peppered them from the first over. The three Test series has been a bouncer war immaterial of the venue, and the batters on both sides will carry battle scars from it that will linger. Pakistan fought back gallantly after the early setbacks to post a competitive score and see to be on top at this stage. Only Mohammed Rizwan, Aamir Jamal, Barbar Azam and Salman Aghar Ali batted with a degree of confidence while ...

Paceman hold the key to a titanic struggle at the MCG – Cummins, Hamza and Afridi hold the key. Lyon will have a say on uneven track. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pat Cummins led from the front grabbing five wickets, and then Mitchell Marsh and Steve Smith staved off a brilliant Pakistan fightback to steer Australia to safety and possibly victory in the second Test at the MCG. Cummins absolute control with the ball saw Pakistan fall 54 runs short of Australia’s first innings total of 318 before Pakistan staged a dramatic comeback grabbing four for 16 sending shock waves through the home team. Mir Hamza and Shaheen Shah Afridi were lethal in Australia’s second stint removing Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, David Warner and Travis Head leaving Australia in total confusion. Hamza and Afridi grabbed three wickets each to give Pakistan a glimmer of hope ...

Australia and Pakistan in ding dong battle in a MCG Test cliff- hanger. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pakistan’s bowlers made the Test series interesting by rolling Australia for 318 as seven wickets fell for 133 throwing open the challenge to their batters to take the Boxing day contest to a real fight. Pakistan’s pace quartet were sharp, mostly accurate and deserved greater success if they held onto their chances which would have made Australia’s tally much less than it was. Also erratic bowling at times cost them precious runs that could have made it interesting. The extra bounce gave away too many runs over the wicket-keeper to the boundary. Australia for once, looked all at sea as they struggled to come to grips with a focused Pakistan attack that appears to have new belief in themselves. Pakistan in reply looked set to take control as ...

Pakistan show fight on Boxing day to curtail Australia. BY RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pakistan showed better intent and threw down the gauntlet to Australia in a rain curtailed first day of the Boxing day Test in Melbourne. Pakistan’s bowlers were on a mission as they bowled better lines and length to suffocate Australia’s free scoring batters, and on a rain shortened first day, Australia could only muster 185 for 3. Winning an important toss and putting Australia in, appeared debatable at the outset, but turned out to be the correct one at the end of the day’s play. The spirited display breathed new life into the series that seemed one-sided after the Perth mauling the Pakistanis were handed. But the pitch at the MCG had plenty of assistance to Pakistan’s pretty fiery attack that tested Australia’s batters with sharp movement and bounce. It shapes for a competitive ...
