Monga’s Incisive Analysis of Australia’s 50 -Over Triumph – By Michael Roberts Source : thuppahis Sidharth Monga, in ESPNcricinfo.com, 22 March 2023, “Zampa and Co stifle India to take series 2-1″ Australia snatched the No. 1 ODI ranking Australia Outplay India in Final Fifty-Over ODI and snapped India’s four-year unbeaten series streak at home with a thrilling win in the defence of 269 in Chennai. Australia went all in from the moment they won the toss and gambled against the dew by choosing to bat on a dry and soft surface. They attacked the new ball in the powerplay, but kept attacking, which resulted in quite a few starts but no fifty. The bowlers then hung in despite a quick start from India, their two spinners Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar took six wickets between them to drag India back from 65 for 0 and 146 for 2. The defence was all the more remarkable because Cameron ...

Mr. Plunkett worked at Walker Sons & Co Ltd as a car salesman and resided at Negombo. He had two daughters Sheila and Carmaline. (Bubbles). Sheila was married to Nala Hewawisa and Carmaline to Ron Forbes.

Thiagarajah, Mr & Mrs Rajagopal, Mrs. Sita Parakrama, Mr Livy Wijemanne. It was a difficult decision to arrive at and finally Mrs. Sheila Hawawissa was adjudged ‘ Queen of the 1957 September Dance”. The runners-up were Mrs Joan Gilles ...

Ashes opener axed, Maxwell’s exile extended as Aussies name Test squad – by Christy Doran Source:foxsports.com.au Australia have named a 16-man Test squad for their upcoming series against Sri Lanka, with opener Marcus Harris axed and no room found for Glenn Maxwell. While there were reports that Maxwell — the short-ball specialist who has played seven Tests — would be parachuted back into the squad for the first time since 2017, Australia’s three-person selection panel rewarded the members that did the job in Pakistan in March. Instead, spinners Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Swepson, who both featured prominently in Pakistan, as well as bowling all-rounder Ashton Agar have been selected. All-rounder Mitch Marsh will provide back-up for Cameron Green, while Scott Boland is the spare seamer selected. Nor is Maxwell in the Australian A side, with the batting all-rounder to instead feature in the short-form Australian side, with national chair selector, ...
