Parramatta Eels v North Queensland Cowboys | NRL 2021 Round 23 Review
Parramatta secure a 32-16 victory over a hapless North Queensland side who didn't really offer much against the blue and golds. Parramatta lead 14-6 at half-time and never looked in any real danger of losing the match. Today I give some of my thoughts on the match.

Babar Azam interview on test | First day Play | Pakistan West Indies 2nd Test | Fawad Alam unfit
#PakistanCricket #BabarAzam #PAKvsWI Pakistan West Indies 2nd Test match start, Babar Azam express his views after 1st day play, Babar Azam and Fawad Alam made half centuries to help Pakistan reached 200 plus Pakistan 212 for 4 (Azam 75, Alam 76*, Roach 3-49) v West Indies The first four overs set Pakistan back significantly, but the day was defined by a behemoth of a partnership between Babar Azam and Fawad Alam. Under blisteringly hostile conditions for at least the first two sessions that saw no fewer than three players forced off the field, the duo put together a 158-run stand to drag Pakistan from the depths into a position of clear dominance. They were forced together after Kemar Roach and Jayden Seales scythed through Pakistan's embattled top order to leave them three wickets down for two runs, but the attritional rebuild means it has been Pakistan's day. Alam is still unbeaten, but cramps forced him off to bring his stand with Azam to an end and while the Pakistan captain fell soon after, those were the only four wickets West Indies managed as Pakistan put on 212 on the day. Winning the toss, Kraigg Brathwaite had little hesitation putting Pakistan in to bat, and inside ten minutes, it became apparent why. Abid Ali lasted just three deliveries, pushing - without real footwork and with disappointing familiarity - at one from Roach around the fourth stump line, edging to Jermaine Blackwood in the slips. Azhar Ali became Roach's next victim, falling for a duck in similar style, with the ball kissing the outside edge and leaving the secure Joshua Da Silva to do the rest. Seales piled on the misery for Pakistan, inducing the hapless Imran Butt into a forward defensive prod that, on review, was shown to have tickled the outside edge. Aside from Irfan Pathan's famous first-over hat-trick at Karachi, this would be Pakistan's joint-worst Test match start in history. If that represented rock bottom, Azam and Alam used it as a solid enough foundation to begin the rebuild. Both looked vulnerable against an irrepressible seam bowling display from Seales and Roach early on, but the Pakistan captain looked to break out of it through aggression. A mistimed slash over point brought him his first runs, and from there, batting looked to have become easier for Pakistan's premier batter. It was initially less straightforward for Alam. He looked particularly vulnerable around his off stump, Jason Holder and Roach in particular beating his outside edge a number of times, while three of his four boundaries came off thick edges to the slips. However, survival was the primary goal, and on that count, it was mission accomplished. Azam looked just as comfortable in the middle session but much more sedate, especially once he brought up his half-century with a regal late cut behind backward point off Roach, a bowler he targeted in particular early on in the session. He was particular strong square of the wicket, as you might expect, and the slightest infraction when it came to line was a candidate for a put-away boundary. Alam was significantly improved throughout the session, far more assured with his shot selection and more progressive in his approach. A struggling Alzarri Joseph, who came off on the stroke of tea, came in for particular punishment, with Alam bringing up his own half-century with a boundary off the 24-year old. Those fidgety outside edges that kept the slips interested were kept to a minimum, but Alam, too, would find himself suffering through the elements as the sun beat down. The weather seemed to be indiscriminate in the toll it was taking, and Da Silva was forced off the field for a spot of rehydration before the session was out. The one-dimensional nature of West Indies attack - they don't have any left-arm pacers or full-time spinners - arguably saw their woes exacerbated as the Pakistan pair batted themselves into a nice rhythm. Brathwaite turned to Roston Chase for a short spell, only to see Pakistan targeting him, and on a sizzling day, the home side had to turn to their quicks once more. By this point, it was hard to see who might bring West Indies a breakthrough, but Alam was beginning to cramp pretty much every delivery. The game's momentum took a beating, too, and there was a touch of the farcical cricket seems to produce more often than just about any other sport on the stroke of tea. Da Silva needed to be taken off with one ball to go in the session, but the regulations stipulated the over had to be completed before the players broke for tea. It meant there was a lengthy pause while his replacement got himself ready, all to send down a delivery before another 20-minute break. Alam's woes continued post-tea, and it soon became apparent carrying on was impossible. The Jamaican sun had done what Brathwaite's men hadn't looked like achieving for nigh on five hours, and with life injected into the home side, Azam, the epitome of solidity, suddenly began to look susceptible.
Welsh Fire vs London Spirit, 32nd Match Higlight
London Spirit finish last, with just the one win in 8 games. They were rather good with the bat today, but their bowling left a lot to be desired with the brawn of Glenn Phillips towering over them, that finished the game very early. The Fire did lose a few wickets in the middle overs, courtesy Wheal and Cullen, but eventually, Cobb and Qais Ahmed kept their cool to land a few blows late in the chase, under pressure, to finish off a hapless campaign for the London Spirit.
IPL 2021 replacement : 4 Franchises want Wanindu Hasaranga | IPL 2021 UAE Analysis | IPL 2021 Tamil
IPL 2021 replacement : 4 Franchises want Wanindu Hasaranga | IPL 2021 UAE Analysis | IPL 2021 Tamil #ipl #indvssl #slvsind Reports: Four IPL franchises lining up Wanindu Hasaranga as replacement for IPL 2021 UAE leg The ongoing limited-overs series between Sri Lanka and India has certainly raised the stocks of the leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga. He has not only impressed the experts with his variations in the bowling, but has grabbed the eyeballs with his excellent batting as well. He was the best player for Sri Lanka on the hapless England tour as well scoring runs with the bat and also picking up wickets with his bowling. As far as the ongoing series is concerned, his fighting spirit is being lauded by many. He accounted for three wickets in two ODIs and has picked same number of wickets in as many T20Is so far. Moreover, his batting skills in the second T20I has also impressed many. The fighting spirit which he has shown in trying times for Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) is certainly laudable and clearly, this might help him in grabbing the much-awaited the Indian Premier League (IPL) contract. Rather if the reports are to be believed, as many as four IPL franchises have lined Wanindu Hasaranga up as a replacement pick ahead of the second leg which is set to commence on September 19. It is very much likely that a lot of overseas players will pull out of the IPL second leg with England cricketers unlikely to be available. This opens up a lot of slots and Hasaranga comes up as a really good option for the teams given his all-round skills.

Albania 0-2 England - Recap
England maintained their winning start to the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable victory over Albania in Tirana. Albania provided more of a challenge than hapless San Marino in England's opening 5-0 win at Wembley but once they had survived an early scare when Myrto Uzuni missed a great chance for the side ranked 66th in the world, this was routine for Gareth Southgate's side. England captain Harry Kane lifted the mediocrity of an attritional first half on a slow surface when he scored his 33rd goal for his country, a superbly guided diving header from Luke Shaw's cross seven minutes before the interval. This set the platform for a more positive second-half display, Mason Mount adding a composed second in the 63rd minute after sustained England pressure saw Phil Foden's effort turned on to the post by Albania keeper Etrit Berisha and Kane lifting a close-range shot over the top. England stretched their unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers to 23 games but now face their sternest test so far in this campaign as Poland and their master marksman Robert Lewandowski come to Wembley on Wednesday (19:45 BST). Reaction from Tirana as England beat Albania 'Now Tuchel picks him everyone will agree' - how 'exceptional' Mount is proving critics wrong Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast Kane's class lifts England Kane had been going through something of a drought by his own standards. His previous England goal came 500 days ago, in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Kosovo, and his header in Tirana ended a run of 496 minutes without scoring. Kane's class, however, remains permanent so it was no surprise that he was the man to break the deadlock after England had struggled to break down a resilient Albania defence, the beneficiary of a superb left-flank delivery from Shaw. It was also a good moment for the recalled Shaw, whose impressive recent form for Manchester United merited his inclusion. Southgate may well have his ideal Euro 2020 starting line-up fixed in his mind but Shaw, who has assisted goals in his last three England starts, is emerging as a genuine rival to Chelsea's Ben Chilwell. Mount's cool finish from Kane's pass after Raheem Sterling intercepted Berat Djimsiti's pass was another illustration of his growing stature and Chelsea's rising star must surely be a certain starter when England open their Euro 2020 finals campaign against Croatia at Wembley on 13 June. England had the odd anxious moment in defence, especially when Uzuni blazed over with only keeper Nick Pope to beat and the scoreline goalless, but they were largely untroubled. The more accurate measure of where England's current rate of progress stands will come when they face the world-class talent of Bayern Munich's Lewandowski. Southgate's formation taking shape Southgate's decision to select two defensively-minded midfield men once more in Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips was another strong indicator that this will be his preferred formation at the Euros this summer. It is a game plan which has looked stodgy on occasions, particularly in two Uefa Nations League games against Denmark, a goalless draw in Copenhagen and a defeat at Wembley, and leaves Southgate open to accusations of over-caution. Southgate's single-minded approach means he will not worry about outside noise if he is convinced this is the right way to go. The proof, as ever, will come with results before and during the summer's delayed Euro 2020 showpiece. One factor in Southgate's plans will be the fitness of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. He is recovering following groin surgery and while Liverpool are hopeful he will return before the end of the season, this is by no means guaranteed. If he is fit, it would appear he will start alongside Rice in that opener against Croatia. Phillips was pushed forward into a more advanced position in the second half but this now seems to be emerging as Southgate's favoured strategy. The debate continues around England's goalkeeping position with Everton's Jordan Pickford out injured but he has been Southgate's favoured keeper for some time so it still seems to be his position to lose if he is fit. Southgate will have learned little about Burnley keeper Nick Pope other than what he already knows and what he has seen in England's training camp because he has had nothing to do against either San Marino or Albania. He may have more to do when Lewandowski gets him in his sights at Wembley. This England performance, ultimately, was efficient as opposed to spectacular but Southgate can be satisfied with six points, although anything less would have prompted serious questions. This can be filed under "job done" and now it is on to Poland on Wednesday. #uk #news #AlbaniavsEngland #englandvsalbania #worldcupqualifiers #Albania #HarryKane #MasonMount #LukeShaw #englandalbania #ashleycole #uksportsnews #england #footballenglandalbania2021
