Stop-clock trial begins with T20I series between West Indies and England

Six-month experiment gets underway to increase the pace of play in men’s T20Is and ODIs

The first T20I between West Indies and England on Wednesday will see a stop clock used for the first time in international cricket. Part of a six-month experiment announced last month by the ICC, the stop clock will aim to restrict the time taken between overs and quicken the pace of play.The bowling team will need to be ready to bowl the first ball of their next over within 60 seconds of the previous over being completed. After two warnings, a third default by the bowling side will result in a five-run penalty imposed against them.The third umpire will start the clock at the completion of an over – the countdown would be displayed on the big screen at the ground, too. In case the batters have called for equipment change, drinks or if there is an injury break, and the 60 seconds are over the fielding time will not be penalised.In the scenario where the bowler is ready, but the batter is not ready, the match officials will deduct the time allowance from the batting team. For example if the batting team exceeded their allowances by two minutes, and are fielding second, then that additional time will be deducted from the overall time which could potentially lead them incurring both in-game and financial penalties if they fail to finish the overs before the cut-off time.As it stands, the stop clock will be used only in men’s ODIs and T20Is and goes one step further from the ICC’s change in playing conditions from 2022 where slow over-rates would force fielding sides to keep one fewer fielder outside the circle in the final over of a game. These in-game sanctions are in addition to any monetary fine that teams have to pay for slow over-rates under the ICC’s playing conditions.Stop clocks aimed at speeding up play are not new in sport. In major tennis tournaments, a player gets 25 seconds to get ready to serve between points. The idea of a stop clock in cricket was proposed in 2018 by the MCC’s World Cricket Committee that included Ricky Ponting, Saurav Ganguly and Kumar Sangakkara, among others, to reduce the ‘dead-time’ between overs in international games.The five-match T20I series between West Indies and England runs from December 13 to December 22, with the sides playing the series opener in Bridgetown, then moving to St George’s for two fixtures and finishing the series with two matches in Tarouba.

Bartlett, Fraser-McGurk star as Australia win with record 259 balls remaining

The visitors lost 9 for 48 in a dismal batting display in Canberra with Australia’s inexperienced attack impressing again

Lance Morris’ spectacular return was cut short by a side strain injury, but Xavier Bartlett continued a strong start to his international career with four wickets as Australia thrashed a hapless West Indies at Manuka Oval to sweep the ODI series.Openers Josh Inglis and Jake Fraser-McGurk raced toward the low target by smashing 67 runs within five overs. They had struck Australia’s fastest team 50 in men’s ODIs since 2002.Their eight-wicket victory with 43.1 overs to spare was the shortest men’s ODI ever played in Australia. The match lasted just 31 overs and was completed in three hours, including the innings break.Related

No rest on Abbott's mind: 'Hard team to get in, even harder to stay'

Short ruled out of final ODI with McDermott called up

Bartlett had starred with 4 for 21 as West Indies were embarrassingly bowled out for 86 in 24.1 overs in their fifth lowest ODI score. Playing their 1000th ODI, the second nation to do so after India, Australia were almost flawless following comprehensive victories in Melbourne and Sydney.Inglis raced to 22 off seven deliveries as he played gorgeous orthodox shots, but was quickly overtaken by Fraser-McGurk who muscled three sixes in four balls off seamer Matthew Forde.Fraser-McGurk was on track for a rapid half-century, but holed out to mid-on to end his 18-ball 41 and dashed Australia’s hopes for a 10-wicket win. Aaron Hardie made just two before Australia passed the target after 6.5 overs.Australia recorded their 12th straight victory in the 50-over format, but were aided by a shoddy West Indies effort with a number of batters dismissed in tame fashion.It wasn’t all rosy for Australia with Morris, who returned to the side along with Bartlett in place of injured Matthew Short and a rested Josh Hazlewood, coming off the ground midway through his fifth over with a left side strain. He will have a scan and faces a nervous wait ahead of Australia’s tour of New Zealand.Steven Smith elected to bowl under bleak skies with Bartlett looming as a major threat in seaming conditions. After having a breather following his stunning four-wicket debut at the MCG, Bartlett was immediately on the money with the new ball and he had opener Kjorn Ottley lbw in his second over.Ottley trudged off after a short discussion with Alick Athanaze, but replays showed he had inside edged the ball. Bartlett continued to showcase his prowess for swing bowling and he bowled an unrelenting line and length to finish with 1 for 11 off his opening five-over spell.Jake Fraser-McGurk gave a glimpse of his potential•Getty Images

But Athanaze and Keacy Carty held firm as West Indies’ fortunes momentarily seemed to turn with the sun emerging and they eyed a decent total on the traditionally batting-friendly Manuka Oval surface.West Indies avoided the early collapses that marred their opening two games, but the introduction of Morris in the 11th over soon left them in familiar woe.Morris had his first international wicket when Carty was brilliantly caught by a flying Marnus Labuschagne at backward point. Captain Shai Hope unsuccessfully reviewed an lbw decision off Sean Abbott in the next over before Morris clean bowled debutant Teddy Bishop with a searing full delivery that rattled the stumps.In contrast to when he took the new ball at the MCG, Morris enjoyed being held back in a role he usually relishes with Western Australia at domestic level. He bowled consistently in the mid 140kph and a threatening short of a length before going off the ground.Athanaze had held the innings together until he threw away his wicket with a rash sweep stroke against legspinner Adam Zampa that was caught deep backward squareSmith went on the attack and brought back Bartlett, who on his first delivery nicked off Romario Shepherd. Bartlett soon became just the sixth men’s bowler to record four-plus wicket hauls in his first two ODIs.West Indies’ woeful performance was summed up with a comical run out of Forde, who bickered with batting partner Roston Chase on his way off, as their 27-year ODI drought against Australia in Australia continues.

'Our mentality is that we can win from any situation' – Mumbai players celebrate 42nd Ranji triumph

“It was very good gesture,” veteran quick Dhawal Kulkarni says of Ajinkya Rahane giving him a chance to pick up the final wicket, which he did

ESPNcricinfo staff14-Mar-2024

Mumbai – Ranji Trophy champions for the 42nd time•PTI

Dhawal KulkarniIt’s a cricketer’s dream to start on a high and end on a high. This final will remain very close to me because this is my sixth final and the fifth time we have won.[On Ajinkya Rahane bringing him on after the penultimate wicket fell] It was very good gesture. I wasn’t expecting it because Tushar [Deshpande] had picked up two wickets just before that. But hats off to him [Rahane]. He told me, ‘Dhawal, you have led for so many years. Lead once again and finish the job.'[Looking back on his journey with Mumbai] The more I played, the more experience I gained by playing alongside big players. The same experience I tried to pass on to the youngsters.

Tanush Kotian, Player of the TournamentAt the start of the season, we thought we were the runners-up two seasons ago, so we really wanted to win. Last year, we failed to qualify for the knockouts for one run. So we were determined to win this time. For the last two years, we were putting in the efforts with the same team but it was not happening. So this time it was amazing to lift the trophy.[On his batting] The way I batted last season, I had that confidence. I worked a lot on my game with my father, coaches and support staff. Ajju [Rahane] guided me about how to score a hundred. My personal batting coach also supported a lot. So I think because of that hard work I could do it.[On being made to wait by Vidarbha] We were getting frustrated in the middle because we could not wait to lift the trophy. But we said to ourselves we would do it, we would pick up a wicket soon.[On his future] The way I have improved this season from the last one, I feel I just need to keep working hard every day and keep talking to my captain, coaches and senior players in the team for advice on what I can work on. And hopefully, I will come back even stronger next time.[On dressing-room environment] We were doing well from the start of the season. But we knew it would not be easy in the knockouts. Ten games with just three-day breaks was not easy, especially for the fast bowlers – to play ten games and bowl with the same intensity. The batsmen also supported well and showed great temperament. The lower order also batted really well. So it was a team effort, and what we achieved what we had planned.

Shardul ThakurIt’s very special. We had won in my debut season, but then a couple of years went by just like that. Then when we won in 2015-16, we did not have any Test player in our side. That was an achievement in itself. The Ranji Trophy is a very long season. I joined the team from the last league match. But all the boys in the team, including the support staff, everyone has been working very hard since June. Finally, as we are winning the trophy in March, this feeling is very special.[On his contributions] We play cricket for challenging situations. Everyone can perform in easy situations but what matters is who performs for the team in challenging situation. So I always think like that – not to just pull the team out of the tough situation but also put a good total on the board, so that there is a psychological effect as well on the opponents. The same happened in the semi-final and final. We were seven down for 110 [106], I scored a big hundred. Here, too, we were in a similar situation in the first innings. I could score 75 from there and increase team’s total. I feel the 200-plus total helped us win today.

Musheer Khan, the Player of the Match[On his century] It was a very important innings for me because it was the final. I was trying to bat as long as possible and stitch a partnership with whoever was at the other end.[On batting with Rahane] I really enjoyed batting with him. He were talking regularly, we had a good understanding – he was helping me understand things better. Our plan was to bat the whole day with a straight bat.[On being part of the Mumbai team] It is a pride for me to share the Mumbai dressing room, we have got some great players. I am happy we won the title for the 42nd time. We had been working hard for a long time and today we got the reward.[On his batting] I need to work a lot on my game. I want to just focus on my process and not look too far ahead.Shams MulaniLast time we had missed the chance. So this win is very important for us. Throughout the season, everyone has contributed. It was not just one or two players, everyone stood up when it was needed.[On his all-round performance] Whether I am batting or bowling, I think about what the team needs and how I can support to put us in a better position. Our spirit was always high. Throughout the season we made comebacks from tough situations. Our thinking was that this was another tough situation and we had to come back. Our mentality is that we can win from any situation. We did not have always easy wins. We kept working hard, picking up a wicket here or two there, winning a session, and that’s how we have reached till the trophy.

-Eu nunca imaginei estar aqui recebendo essa importante conquista, principalmente, dividindo o palco com o meu conterrâneo do Ceará, Tom Cavalcante.

Segundo apurou o Futebol Latino, a agenda de Bill Morais prevê a aparição em duas partidas festivas neste fim de ano. Uma delas ocorrerá na cidade de São Paulo e a outra no Rio de Janeiro, mais precisamente, no “Jogo das Estrelas”, organizado por Zico.

Australia have replaced India as the No. 1 Test team in the ICC men’s rankings after the annual update. India, though, have retained the top spot in the ODI and T20I rankings.In this cycle, the matches played only after May 2021 are taken into consideration for the ranking, which means India’s 2-1 series win in Australia in December 2020-January 2021 has dropped out. All results between May 2021 and May 2023 are weighted at 50%, while the ones in the following 12 months are weighted at 100%.As a result, Australia, who also won the World Test Championship last year, now have 124 rating points, four clear of second-placed India (118), and 19 ahead of third-placed England (105). Both India and Australia are next in action in the format only in November, when they face each other in Perth.Full rankings tables
