This video got randomly recommended to me (probably because of the world cup). Anyone else remember when this scandal was the most hilarious thing to come out of that year? Well, unless you were an Australian, that is.

[ad_1] Nathan McSweeney, Marcus Harris, and Cameron Bancroft for Australia A (PC: X) The much-anticipated Test series of the year is just two weeks away, with India set to face Australia in a gruelling five-match showdown Down Under. Both sides are feeling the heat. India arrives on Australian soil after a humbling 3-0 defeat at home to New Zealand. Meanwhile, the pressure on Australia is intense—they haven’t held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014-15 series. They’ve been defeated twice at home by India and will surely be looking to end the losing streak against the Asian powerhouse. However, to do so, they’ll need to get a lot of things right, starting from the very top. Who will open with Usman Khawaja? It is a question that has been circulating in the Australian cricketing circles for months now. After David Warner’s retirement, Steve Smith was moved to open, but the change didn’t bring success, as he scored just 171 runs at an average of 28.50 in that position. Khawaja has stated that he personally prefers not to see Smith opening, advocating instead for Smith to return to his usual position at number 4. National selector George Bailey echoed this sentiment, confirming that Smith won’t be considered for the opening spot. Bailey’s statement has fuelled the debate, with the vacant opener’s position becoming a hot topic. Three main contenders have now emerged for the role: Nathan McSweeney, Marcus Harris, and Cameron Bancroft. Australia have yet to announce their squad, as they will closely evaluate the performances of these players and others in the Australia A squad currently competing in the two-match unofficial Test series against India A. Two weeks ago, McSweeney wasn’t even in contention, but his fortunes have shifted dramatically over the past three games. The South Australia batter began the Sheffield Shield season with a bang, scoring 55 and an unbeaten 127 in his first game against New South Wales in Sydney. The right-handed batter followed it up with 37 and 72 in challenging conditions in Brisbane, against a Queensland bowling attack led by Michael Neser. His impressive run continued against India A in Mackay, where he scored 127 runs across two innings, including an unbeaten 88 in the run-chase. The 25-year-old is in the form of his life and has the support of Warner to open with Khawaja. “He looks a complete player, and I think he’s a good fit with Uzzie (Usman Khawaja) at the top of the order,” Warner was quoted as saying by Fox Sports. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Australia A vs India A (PC: X) The only thing that might go against him is that he has played only one innings as an opener in first-class cricket, and that was yesterday against India A in the ongoing second unofficial Test in Melbourne. In challenging conditions, he made a steady start but was eventually caught at second slip for 14. He’ll have one more chance to make an impression, and given his strong performances in second innings, he might just secure a spot in the Test squad. South Australia’s captain is regarded as one of the most technically sound uncapped batters in Australia. He excels with shots square of the wicket and has a sharp eye for picking up the length quickly. Unlike many of Australia’s top-order players, who often chase deliveries outside off, McSweeney’s instinct is to leave it —a quality that sets him apart and strengthens his defence. On a pitch where 12 wickets fell at the MCG, Harris, opening alongside McSweeney, managed to top-score for his team with a well-crafted 74 in the first innings. The left-hander successfully navigated through the initial spells from India A’s pace trio of Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, and Prasidh Krishna. Once the Kookaburra ball got soft, he began playing his shots to guide his team to a 62-run lead. Harris began his Sheffield Shield season on a strong note, with scores of 143 and 52 against Tasmania. However, his form dipped in the subsequent games, where he registered scores of 26, 16, 17 and 36 across four innings.

Among the options, Harris is arguably the safest choice given his experience against India’s formidable pace attack. The 32-year-old knows well the task of facing such an attack, having debuted under similar conditions in 2018. In his 14 Test matches, he’s faced England in seven, India in five, and Sri Lanka in two. While it’s been nearly three years since his last Test, if McSweeney isn’t selected, Harris’s experience could make him the most reliable option at the top. At the moment, Cameron Bancroft is behind the two aforementioned players. His tough run of form continued, adding only 3 more runs to his season’s first-class tally, which now stands at just 29 from seven innings, before he was dismissed with a well-timed pull shot to forward square leg against India A at the MCG. Bancroft has the skill and temperament needed for success in Test cricket. However, his current slump could very well cost him a spot for the upcoming home summer.

[somesunnyda-y]

As his trusted lieutenant in the slips cordon – with vice-captain David Warner usually deployed to the in-field to liaise directly with bowlers – Paine not only provides informed feedback and knowledgeable insights, but crucially helps quell the skipper's unease when plans are not working.

"He's a really good calming influence on Steve, if you notice in the game they spend a lot of time talking to each other."

I would like to thank @storm-alert for getting me invested in this ship and Cricket Australia for pulling through with the ship material ;)

Would love to win a Test series in India: Steve Smith - Times of India

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/would-love-to-win-a-test-series-in-india-steve-smith-times-of-india/

Would love to win a Test series in India: Steve Smith - Times of India

SYDNEY: Australian batsman Steve Smith said that winning a Test series in India is something that he hopes he can do in his career. Australia have won only four Test series in India and their last win came in 2005, five years before Smith made his debut.

“I’d love to win a Test series in India,” said Smith in an interaction with Rajasthan Royals spin bowling consultant Ish Sodhi in the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise’s Facebook page.

“As an Australian cricketer, the Ashes and the World Cup is big but India are the no.1 team in the world. It’s a very difficult place to play Test cricket, so would love to win a series there,” he said.

Smith had captained Australia to a massive 333-run win in the first Test against India in Pune during the 2017 series. However, India fought back to win two of the next three Tests and won the series. Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin were particularly devastating in the series, the pair Taking 25 and 21 wickets respectively. Smith explained what made Jadeja so difficult to play in the subcontinent.

He said that the best spinners are always consistent with their length and know how to mask their variations. “If you can hit the good length consistently, especially if it is a wicket that is offering spin, then you are in,” he said.

“Someone like Jadeja in the subcontinent — why he is so good is that he just hits that good length. One ball skids out, one spins but it just looks the same out of the hand.”

With ingredients in hand, the chefs head back to Chef Bazirgan’s restaurant, Bambara, to cook up a courtyard brunch. On the menu: smoked haddock with green papaya and apple salad; classic potato roesti with salmon bacon, cider-poached eggs, and harissa hollandaise; and an Asian pear and cranberry clafoutis.

'For reasons sufficient to the writer,” wrote Ernest Hemingway in notes for a preface to his collection of about-to-be-posthumous Parisian fragments (a preface later pieced together by Mary Hemingway as if from Cuba in 1960), “many places, people, observations and impressions have been left out of this book”:

There is no mention of the Stade Anastasie where the boxers served as waiters at the tables set out under the trees and the ring was in the garden. Nor of training with Larry Gains, nor the great twenty-round fights at the Cirque d’Hiver. Nor of such good friends as Charlie Sweeny, Bill Bird and Mike Strater … It would be fine if all these were in this book but we will have to do without them for now.

This tactic of teasing the customer with the hint of splendors withheld—like Dr. Watson’s making us wonder about the untold Holmes adventure of the giant rat of Sumatra—was rounded off with another piece of coquetry, when “Papa” closed by saying:

If the reader prefers, this book may be regarded as fiction. But there is always the chance that such a book of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact.

This challenge may or may not have been intended as literal. But the first thing to say about the “restored” edition so ably and attractively produced by Patrick and Seán Hemingway is that it does live up to its billing, in that at last it gives us the Stade Anastasie and Larry Gains (a handsome black Canadian heavyweight now lost to history) and thus manages that fusion of food writing and pugilism that is somehow associated with Americans in Paris, and not just because of Papa and A. J. Liebling. The new story “A Strange Fight Club” is well worth having, too. It pictures Larry Gains’s Parisian opponent thus:

The new heavy weight was a local boy who had been employed carrying parts of carcasses in the stockyards until he had an accident which affected his reasoning power.

This capture of the elemental brutishness of boxing—and by one of its aficionados—does a good deal to reaffirm Hemingway’s sometimes mocked reputation as a master of the terse and muscular sentence.

There has always been much speculation about how much the redaction of A Moveable Feast is a product or consequence of its relation to the sequence of Hemingway’s marriages. It was largely written about his time with Hadley, touches on his defection to the arms of Pauline, and after his suicide was pasted together by Mary. If we make the common assumption that Mary desired to downplay her predecessors where possible (there is no way to write the lovely Hadley out of the script altogether), then this would furnish an explanation for the reappearance of two fragments in particular: the marvelous little study of Hemingway’s outings with his firstborn son, titled “The Education of Mr. Bumby,” and the intriguing episode “Secret Pleasures,” in which Hemingway writes with undisguised sexual excitement about the good and bad “hair days” that he shared with his first spouse.

The True Costs and Benefits of Fracking

The Bumby pages are frankly sentimental but nonetheless somehow dry, while the little boy’s attempts to be a man in two languages, and to keep up with his father’s enjoyment of café society, are simply charming. (Once you have heard the proprietress of Shakespeare and Company grandly referred to as “Silver Beach,” you are doomed to remember her that way. And you will perhaps also recall Bumby’s announcement of what he has learned from his nanny’s husband, Touton: “Tu sais, Papa, que les femmes pleurent comme les enfants pissent?” A different version of Papa, to be sure, but one worth having.)

Even in this record of spontaneous innocence, however, the chance is not missed to take another sidelong whack at Scott Fitzgerald:

“Monsieur Fitzgerald is sick Papa?” “He is sick because he drinks too much and he cannot work.” “Does he not respect his métier?” “Madame his wife does not respect it or she is envious of it.” “He should scold her.” “It is not so simple.”

Again, there is nothing to complain of here in point of terseness and economy, but it sent me back again to that supremely unsatisfactory moment in the original collection, in the chapter titled “A Matter of Measurements,” when Fitzgerald invites Hemingway to lunch at Michaud’s restaurant and tells him: Todoist and siri.

“Zelda said that the way I was built I could never make any woman happy and that was what upset her originally. She said it was a matter of measurements. I have never felt the same since she said that and I have to know truly.”

By his own account, Hemingway thereupon leads the author of The Diamond As Big As the Ritz out to the men’s room, conducts a brief inspection, and reassures (or, to be more exact, fails to reassure) his pal that all is well, and that he’s looking down on his penis, literally and figuratively, rather than taking the sidelong perspective. I have never trusted this story, if only because—as Hemingway himself later admits—“it is not basically a question of the size in repose. It is the size that it becomes.” So, unless the viewing in the Michaud pissoir was of an engorged and distended “Scottie”—which it plainly was not—then Papa was offering Fitzgerald a surrogate form of consolation. And was then planning to write about it! (That Zelda was a lethal bitch who wanted her husband at least to fail and perhaps to die is for once not confirmed by another new inclusion, “Scott and His Parisian Chauffeur,” where she is pictured as behaving really quite gracefully under pressure and where the same Mike Strater whose absence was deplored in the original preface is also shown in a fairly good light on a train from Princeton to Philadelphia.)

I suppose that another way of betraying a friend of whom it’s thinkable that you were jealous, and who would, as it happens, do you the good turn of introducing you to an editor like Maxwell Perkins and a publisher like Scribner, would be to write about him thus:

Scott was a man then who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty. He had very fair wavy hair, a high forehead, excited and friendly eyes and a delicate long-lipped Irish mouth that, on a girl, would have been the mouth of a beauty (italics mine).

All right so far, perhaps, even with that emphasis noted, but then: “The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more.” And this in the second paragraph of the first page of the chapter about his friend—the one he is later on bluffly cheering up about his sand-castle masculinity …

It might be trite to pick on the verb worried, but undue or conspicuous anxiety about such matters has been known to furnish a clue about the author himself, and Hemingway more or less forces one to contemplate this very contingency. The brilliance of the anecdote in “A Strange Enough Ending,” in which the author bids adieu to Gertrude Stein and her partner, is that it is almost the sound of the other shoe dropping after that rugged earlier moment in “Miss Stein Instructs,” in which Stein dismisses male homosexuality as truly and horribly unnatural. Hemingway writes,

I heard someone speaking to Miss Stein as I had never heard one person speak to another; never, anywhere, ever. Then Miss Stein’s voice came pleading and begging, saying, “Don’t, pussy. Don’t. Don’t, please don’t. I’ll do anything, pussy, but please don’t do it. Please don’t. Please don’t, pussy.”

As someone wrote about Dorothy Parker’s short story “Big Blonde,” the talent (I won’t say genius) here lies in getting the reader’s imagination to shoulder the bulk of the work. A pretty revenge, I dare say, if slightly and crudely rubbed in a few lines later when Miss Stein is described as resembling “a Roman emperor.”

And so to the excerpt that has continued to excite perhaps the most comment. Closing the original chapter in which Miss Stein expresses her loathing for male perversion, Hemingway writes that he went home to Hadley and “in the night we were happy with our own knowledge we already had and other new knowledge we had acquired in the mountains.” Read these words alongside the following lines originally excised from the restored chapter titled “Secret Pleasures”: “When we lived in Austria in the winter we would cut each other’s hair and let it grow to the same length.” Presuming these to have been the same mountains, or even perhaps assuming slightly different peaks, the whole concept of matching coiffureappears to Hemingway to have been almost unbearably exciting:

“If you don’t think about it maybe it will grow faster. I’m so glad you remembered to start it so early.” We looked at each other and laughed and then she said one of the secret things … “How long will it take?” “Maybe four months to be just the same.” “Really?” “Really.” “Four months more?” “I think so.” We sat and she said something secret and I said something secret back.

Gosh. And this, as some addicts will already know, is merely an amuse-bouche for the main course of another unfinished Hemingway effort, “The Garden of Eden,” at the end of which it seems that hair must be discarded altogether, and shaved heads become the sexual totem. Not even Adam and Eve went so far in their admission of guilt and nakedness, but perhaps a man whose mother once dressed him as a girl and trimmed his crop to suit, and crooned to him as “Ernestine,” had some old scores to settle in the androgyny column.

What is it exactly that explains the continued fascination of this rather slight book? Obviously, it is an ur-text of the American enthrallment with Paris. To be more precise, it is also a skeleton key to the American literary fascination with Paris (and contains some excellent tips for start-up writers, such as the advice to stop working while you still have something left to write the next day). There are the “wouldn’t be without, even if you don’t quite trust” glimpses of the magnetic Joyce and the personable Pound and the apparently wickedly malodorous Ford Madox Ford. Then there are the moments of amusingly uncynical honesty, as when Stein and Toklas met Ernest and Hadley and “forgave us for being in love and being married—time would fix that.” The continued currency of that useless expression the lost generation becomes even more inexplicable when it is traced to a stupid remark made by Gertrude Stein’s garage manager, and such quotable fatuity, however often consecrated by repeated usage, is always worth following to its source. Most of all, though, I believe that A Moveable Feast serves the purpose of a double nostalgia: our own as we contemplate a Left Bank that has since become a banal tourist enclave in a Paris where the tough and plebeian districts are gone, to be replaced by seething Muslim banlieues all around the periphery; and Hemingway’s at the end of his distraught days, as he saw again the “City of Light” with his remaining life still ahead of him rather than so far behind.

New York: 13, November, 2019:  A masterful 157 by Babar Azam in the ongoing three-day match against Australia at Perth has made former Australia great Michael Hussey to believe that the batsman now has what it takes to become one of the game’s elite multi-format batsmen.  

Already a force to be reckoned with facing the white ball, Babar’s Test career is on an upwards trajectory after a modest start.

He averaged just 23.75 across his first 11 Tests, but has averaged 50.66 in his last 10.

He may have been facing a second-string attack, but Michael Neser and Jhye Richardson are far from second-rate bowlers — and Babar handled them with aplomb on Monday.

He came to the crease with his side in trouble at 3-60 before turning the match on its head alongside Asad Shafiq in an unbeaten 276-run partnership.  “It’s been a beautiful innings really.

He’s timed the ball magnificently all around the ground,” Hussey was quoted as saying by an Australian website.

Babar plays gloriously off the front foot, so the fact he crafted the big score while facing plenty of short-pitched bowling early spells trouble for Australia.

Furthermore, the venue for the second Test is Adelaide Oval, which is a slower wicket when compared to Perth Stadium’s, and should play somewhat into Babar’s hands.

What should also ring alarm bells is the fact the 25-year-old converted his century in style, which is something he’s been criticised of not doing often enough. He’s scored 11 Test fifties, and has made just one century.

“I honestly believe this guy can be in the same conversation when we start talking about the best players in the world,” he said.

“We start talking about (Virat) Kohli, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, Joe Root gets floated around.

“I think if he can start putting together some big hundreds like this in the Test arena, he’s that good … he’s a brilliant, brilliant player,” he added.  002

Labuschagne picks Smith over Kohli in Test cricket | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: Australia batsman Marnus Labuschagne has picked teammate Steve Smith ahead of Virat Kohli in the longest format but accepted that the India skipper’s numbers in white-ball cricket is second to none. In the longest format, Smith and Kohli have been hogging the top two in ICC rankings for a while now. Labuschagne feels Smith’s ability to bat consistently in different conditions sets him apart. “I think Steve (Smith) in Test cricket has just shown in any condition, he can find a way. I think that’s what you know really makes him the best, number one Test player in the world,” Labuschagne was quoted as saying by India Today. “He has found a way in India, he has found a way to score in England, he is obviously very consistent in Australia, so it seems that it doesn’t matter where you are playing and in what conditions, he is finding a way. Now, Virat has probably done a similar thing. I will probably go with Steve in Test cricket.” “Virat’s white-ball cricket is phenomenal. The way he finishes innings, the way he finishes matches off, the way he chases. I think for me personally, I have learned a lot from him,” he added. Labuschagne is part of Australia’s 26-member preliminary squad for their proposed limited-overs series against England. The final squad will be picked after the tour is confirmed by both the boards. Australia’s proposed limited-overs series in England, which will consist of three T20Is and as many ODIs, will begin on September 4. According to a report in Daily Telegraph, the planned fixtures would see Australia play T20Is on September 4, 6 and 8, and ODIs on September 10, 12 and 15. The Australia team is expected to reach the UK via a private flight. As per the report, all six matches are expected to be played at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton and the Old Trafford in Manchester — the two stadiums with hotels large enough to house both the teams, match officials and broadcasters.

Steve Smith has an edge over Virat Kohli in Tests: Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch - cricket

https://liveindiatimes.com/steve-smith-has-an-edge-over-virat-kohli-in-tests-australia-limited-overs-captain-aaron-finch-cricket/

Virat Kohli and Steve Smith have had a see-saw battle for the top position in Test cricket over the past few years. While Smith was named as ICC Test Player of the Year of 2017, Kohli went on to earn the plaudit for the year 2018. The two have also continued to battle it out among themselves in ICC Test Rankings, as they keep on going one over each other to earn the no. 1 spot. Last month, Smith went past Kohli to reclaim the top position in ICC Test Batting Rankings, while Kohli slipped to the second spot.

In a recent interview, Australia limited-overs captain Aaron Finch was asked to pick who is the better batsman among the two across all formats. While Finch said that Kohli is better in ODIs and T20Is, he also added that Smith holds the edge in the longest format over Kohli.

“I think in Test cricket, Virat and Smith’s record at home and in away games is unbelievable. Virat had a tough series a few years ago in England against James Anderson. But then he came back to England in 2018 and dominated the series,” Finch was quoted as saying in an interview to Sports Tak.  

“Smith has never really struggled anywhere, to be fair. He is an unbelievable Test player. The most impressive thing about both of them which probably separates and puts them above anyone else is that how dominant they are all over the world,” he added.

“It’s one thing to dominate in your country, at wickets you are comfortable in. To do it all around the world is extraordinary. Sometimes they get out early, but that’s just cricket. But they very rarely miss out, and when they go, they go big,” he further added.

“I think Smith just has an edge in Test cricket. Virat’s probably has played on wickets that has deteriorated a lot quicker when the ball started spinning big, and going a little bit lower a bit more often,” he further explained.

“Smith in Test cricket is unbelievable, I think his game plan is so well, he’s so good at,” the Australia batsman added.

Smith has played 73 Tests so far in which he has scored 7,227 runs at an average of 62.84. He has scored 26 hundreds so far. Meanwhile, Kohli has played 86 Tests in which he has scored 7,240 runs at an average of 53.62. He has scored 27 Test tons so far.

Usman Khawaja was snubbed by Cricket Australia while announcing central contracts

Usman Khawaja felt he is still one of the six best batsmen in the world

I was very shocked: Khawaja on Cricket Australia’s financial crisis

Batsman Usman Khawaja, who was snubbed by Cricket Australia while announcing central contracts, says he was shocked to learn about the financial crisis the Board is facing and blamed it on “mismangement”.

Former captains Michael Clarke and Allan Border had criticised Cricket Australia for dropping Khwaja, who felt he is still one of the six best batsmen in the world.

“I was very shocked. Because I knew our projections for revenue were still very high and I think they still are, depending on what happens with the Indian series,” Khawaja was quoted as saying by Fox Sports.

“It’s a bit confusing. I don’t have all the financial information in front of me, but it seems like it’s more of a cashflow problem at the moment. There’s obviously a little bit of mismanagement there somewhere, with the portfolio and putting a lot of money into the share market.

“To me that’s Business 101. To make sure you have enough cash reserves if crap hits the fan. So I’m a little bit disappointed on that front … but what’s been done is done now, so it’s just our responsibility as CA and ACA to work through this.”

Khawaja said he was still good with bat in his hand and that “age is just a number”.

“My playing against spin has been right up there as some of the best in the county. Bar maybe Steve Smith, who is an absolute genius. But the most important thing is to score runs.

Ashes: Archer blow reminded Smith of Hughes tragedy

Former Australia skipper Steve Smith has revealed that the first thought which came to his mind after he was hit on the neck by a ferocious bouncer from Jofra Archer was the death of his teammate Phillip Hughes.

“I had a few things running through my head, particularly where I got hit, just a bit of past came up — if you know what I mean — from a few years ago,” news.com.au quoted Smith as saying as he referred to the day Hughes was struck and died in a Sheffield Shield match between New South Wales and South Australia in 2014.
