Glenn Maxwell thinks Australia were “excellent” in the first two Tests against India apart from the one self-defeating session in Delhi on day three. Australia lost nine wickets for 52 runs in their second innings to squander what little advantage they had at the start of day three. “I think they showed a lot of struggle. Apart from that one session I thought they were excellent. It’s damn hard…

साउथैम्पटन. इंडियन प्रीमियर लीग (IPL) की टीम किंग्स इलेवन पंजाब (Kings XI Punjab) के लिए सोमवार को हजारों किलोमीटर दूर ऑस्ट्रेलियाई धरती से उस समय खुशखबरी आ गई, जब इस सीजन के लिए उसकी टीम में शामिल विस्फोटक बल्लेबाज ग्लेन मैक्सवैल (Glenn Maxwell) ने एक अभ्यास मैच में जोरदार शतक ठोककर दिखा दिया कि लॉकडाउन के कारण क्रिकेट से 7 महीने लंबी दूरी का भी उनकी बल्लेबाजी पर कोई खास असर नहीं हुआ…

IPL Match 43: Maxwell Wallops Rajasthan Royals With Second 50

IPL 2021 (43rd Match) - Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (Dubai)

Glenn Maxwell hit his second successive half century as the Royal Challengers Bangalore chased down a target of 150 set by the Rajasthan Royals to win by seven wickets with relative ease in their IPL match in Dubai on Wednesday.

Maxwell struck 50 in just 30 balls with six fours and a six after replacing Virat Kohli at the crease when the Royal Challengers lost their second wicket with 58 runs on the board in the seventh over.

With Maxwell the Royal Challengers finished off the match in the first ball of the 18th over after he and Srikar Bharat (44) put on 69 runs for the third wicket.

Earlier the Rajasthan Royals put into bat got off to a rousing start but lost nine wickets for just 72 runs inside 11.4 overs as their batsmen kept hitting the ball in the air like a fielding coach in a catching practice session.

They scored 77 runs for the first wicket in 8.2 overs through Evin Lewis (58) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (31) but after Jaiswal was out came a string of dismissals as most of the Rajasthan Royals' batters spent just a few minutes at the crease.

The processions started with Lewis hitting the ball up in the air for the wicket-keeper to get under and take the catch followed by Mahipal Lomror (3) going for a dance down the track and missing the ball completely to be stumped trying to play some kind of a nothing shot.

The two dismissals were followed by Liam Livingstone (6), Rahul Tawitia (2) and Riyan Parag (9) losing their wickets through catches in the out-field.

The end result was that in 16.2 overs the Royals lost six wickets for just 127 runs on the board, as medium pacer Harshal Patel missed a hat-trick, but finished with three scalps for 34 runs off his four overs.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Shabhaz Ahmed had two wickets each.

Leading run-maker in the Rajasthan Royals team, skipper Sanju Samson fell for 19, caught at deep extra-cover while attempting an inside-out shot in the first ball of the 14th over with the total at 113.

Scores: Rajasthan Royals 149 for 9 in 20 (Evin Lewis 58, Yashasvi Jaiswal 31, Harshal Patel 3 for 34, Yuzvendra Chahal 2 for 18, Shabhaz Ahmed 2 for 10) Royal Challengers 153 for 3 in 17.1 overs (Virat Kohli 25, Srikar Bharat 44, Glenn Maxwell 50 not out, Mushtafizur Rahman 2 for 20)

On the form guide ahead of race one in Darwin, if one was trying to work out the odds, with Wayne Maxwell setting the pace in every session, and putting 5 x 65s in that final qualifying session, he looks very hard to beat. He already has a point for pole and with this weekend being a three-race format instead of the normal two, this round takes on even more significance in the championship chase. DesmoSport Ducati duo Oli Bayliss and Mike Jones went P2 and P3 to make it an all-Ducati front row for the first time ever in Australian Superbike. Had Troy Herfoss been foxing somewhat? The Penrite Honda man only made one real attempt at a lap-time in Q2 and that was a 65.645s, so the pace is there. Do Michelin have an ace card up their sleeve in regards to tyre life in these sweltering conditions? Glenn Allerton is enthused with the brand new out of the box M 1000 RR and they should be able to find more improvements in every session as they find their feet with the new bike. How it looks after its tyres over race distance though is a question nobody has answer for yet. South Australian privateer Daniel Falzon was fastest Yamaha and fastest Dunlop runner after a significant break away from the sport. That must somewhat embarrass the factory backed Yamaha Racing Team. Bryan Staring showed more progress is being made with BC Performance Kawasaki to qualify seventh while his team-mate Josh Waters, by far the most successful Superbike rider ever at Hidden Valley, is not quite there yet and starts from P11. Anthony West made some significant steps forward today. Finally getting into the 66s in Q1 with a 66.995s before then dropping six-tenths off that to end Q2 in eighth place on 66.396s. Arthur Sissis also starts from that third row in P9, the ex-speedway rider is an absolute gun off the line, expect him to make up plenty of positions by turn one. #asbk #repcosc (at Hidden Valley Raceway) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSVsxyHgkD/?utm_medium=tumblr

King Kohli continues to torment as Finch rues inability to kick on

Loading Kohli now averages an outrageous 59.73 in ODIs, the best effort by any player to have featured in more than 33 matches. Pat Cummins, who dismissed Kohli in the 48th over and has tried so hard to unsettle the batting maestro in recent months, admitted the right-hander was the difference. "He just played really good shots. I think for the most part we bowled quite well to him," Cummins said. "He is someone who just looks in complete command of his game ... he's got so much time. "If someone bowls well, he's happy to wait on them and cash in later. He doesn't miss out on too many bad balls. Really good innings." Kohli offered just one chance, a run-out opportunity that Glenn Maxwell missed when the gifted batsman was on 86, before picking out Stoinis in the deep while searching for an 11th boundary. The only time the superstar lost composure on Tuesday was when a pitch invader came a little too close for comfort at the start of Australia's innings. "It felt good [to post a 40th ODI hundred] but it's just a number. It feels good to win games for India," Kohli said in the post-match ceremony, adding he was exhausted. "When I walk in to bat, when the situation gets difficult, I have no choice but to put my head down and bat through the innings." In contrast, Finch, desperate to lead from the front on the current tour of India and this year's World Cup, has now played 21 consecutive white-ball innings for his country without reaching 50. Those numbers remain stark but coach Justin Langer has made it clear he will be patient as Finch seeks to end a slump that is far from ideal for the World Cup starts in less than three months.

Under pressure: Aaron Finch in in the middle of a scoring drought.Credit:AP And while Finch's own performance in Nagpur was not his most productive, there were some promising signs for the under-pressure Australian skipper. On Tuesday's evidence, which came a day after Finch had some one-on-one time with Langer in the nets prior to the squad's training session, a breakthrough innings may not be far away. "Not enough [runs]. It would have been nice to kick on. It was OK to get a start but starts don't win you games," Finch, who spent 59 minutes at the crease, said in the post-match ceremony. There were glimpses of Finch's best during his highest ODI score since November 9, when he was named man of the match in a low-scoring thriller against South Africa that Australia won to end their worst losing streak in the 50-over format. Australia's loss ensures the skipper, described as "mentally gone" by former selector Mark Waugh last week, will remain under the microscope but Cummins was full of praise. "He's such a class player. His record is great in ODI cricket, so runs were always going to come," Cummins said.

NEW DELHI: Kings XI Punjab batsman Mayank Agarwal was neither apprehensive about getting back to nets nor is he cribbing about strict bio-bubble guidelines in place for the IPL, saying it's worth following the protocols to compete in a league that "beats everything". His captain IPL captain K L Rahul and India skipper Virat Kohli have spoken about the apprehensions they had about getting back in the nets after a five-month break, probably the longest in their careers, but it was not the case with India's Test opener. "There were no apprehensions as such. I just did not put high expectations on myself when I went into practice. It was just more about trying to get back to where I left off. I did not look to judge myself in the first three four net sessions," Agarwal told PTI from Dubai. The 29-year-old from Bangalore said head coach Anil Kumble has been slowly building up the intensity of the sessions. "Physically, yes, I am (back to his best) but skill-wise it would take a few more sessions. It is just about getting your batting rhythm back and things fill start flowing again. It is pretty hot in here also so trying to get accustomed to the climate by training in peak hours," said . Upon arrival in the UAE, all KXIP players went into a six-day quarantine and after returning three negative tests last week, they were allowed to enter the tournament's bio-bubble and start training. The players and officials, who can't invite anyone in their room for the entire duration of IPL and have to wear a bluetooth band so that their movements could be tracked, face strict action for breaching the bio-secure protocol. All teams have taken steps to address mental health issues that may crop up over the course of the tournament. Agarwal said he is just glad that the IPL is happening, something which did not look possible couple of months ago. "Any person who is playing professional sport is mentally tough in many ways. I think most of us would be able to deal with it," he said when asked about the challenges of playing in a protected environment. Agawaral is into Vipasanna (meditation) for years now and said it helped him stay calm in lockdown. "Yes it helped. I could spend time meditating a lot more than I would normally. It just helps you calm your nerves and the biggest thing for me is that we have an opportunity to play the tournament, that beats everything. "It is alright if you have to quarantine for six days, 7 days, 10 days as long as you have enough time to prepare for the tournament." How was being confined to a hotel room for six days? "It is what it is and I did not find it very challenging. You rather be in a quarantine and in a bubble and play rather than crib about it and not play. That is how I have been looking at it. "It has not been too hard. I was training twice a day during those days. Spent sometime opening up the body. KXIP (management) also arranged team bonding stuff onilne and made sure we did not feel left alone in quarantine." His time in lockdown was spent learning how to cook and gardening. "I thoroughly enjoyed that. Did a lot of gardening, planted a lot of fruit trees watching them grow was a great feeling," Agarwal recalled fondly. Rahul, who was exceptional for KXIP at the top in the previous two seasons, has been appointed the captain for this season and Agarwal said his Karnataka mate already has the full backing of the players.

I am very happy that he has got Anil bhai, Chris (Gayle) and Maxi (Glenn Maxwell), a lot of experience in the squad, to help him out in case he needs it."

Pete Buttigieg took maximum donation from ‘Epstein pal accused in unsealed court docs of raping trafficked sex slave’ – The Sun

DOCUMENTS filed with the Federal Election Committee reveal that Pete Buttigieg received a campaign donation from one of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest friends. Billionaire Glenn Dubin donated $2800 to the campaign in May of last year, just a few months before he was accused of statutory rape by an underage girl who was being trafficked by Epstein were released in documents unsealed by a federal court judge. 4 Pete Buttigieg accepted $2800 from Glenn Dubin in May 2019Credit: Alamy Live News4 The Sun obtained a receipt of the donationCredit: FECThe Sun obtained a record of the donation, which was given on May 20, 2019 to Pete for America, Inc. Dubin’s address is listed as his office in New York and under job he wrote “self-employed.” Virginia Roberts stated in the memoir that she submitted during her defamation against Ghislaine Maxwell that Epstein sent her to the Breaker’s Hotel in Palm Beach and ordered her to have sex with Dubin while his pregnant wife was in the other room. She claimed in the memoir that this was also the first time she had been trafficked by Epstein. “I found Glen awaiting for me in the lounge room where I had to call out, ‘Excuse me?’ as I couldn’t see him in the dark,’ wrote Roberts. “There was a throw rug on the ground that he had already placed out as he began to strip down in preparation of the massage. Lying frontwards facing me with his exposedand ever growing manhood, I asked him to roll over to begin the massage.” She continued: “He complied with a cheeky smile and from his eagerness to show he was not shy indeed, I already knew where this was going to end up.” 4 Dubin was a close friend of Jeffrey EpsteinCredit: Reuters4 Virginia Roberts said she was trafficked to Dubin in court documents Credit: Alamy Live NewsRoberts then described what happened next, and alleged that Dubin was aware she was being trafficked. “Mentally preparing for the end of the session he let me know when he was ready to begin the other side to my job and just like Jeffrey did the first time, he requested me to takeoff my clothes starting with my shirt,” wrote Roberts. “When I complied, the requests kept coming in and before I could change my mind and run away, I was having intercourse with this man that was so comfortable doing all of this while his pregnant wife and children slept in the room beside us. “When he had climaxed, we both got up and dressed and he paid me a large tip even though Jeffrey would be the one to actually pay me for my time spent there. Just like it had all started, it had also ended so quickly and now that was that.’ Roberts added: “I had to accept what my duties were and now I could go back to Jeffrey who would be further pleased in my demonstrations to keep him happy.” This allegations was reiterated, though in far less detail, in a deposition Roberts gave in the case.

A spokesperson for Dubin told The Sun: “Glenn and Eva Dubin are outraged by the allegations against them in the unsealed court records and categorically reject them.” The spokesperson also claimed to have flight records and other evidence that “definitively” disproved this allegation, but they have yet to be produced at this time. Dubin, who very suddenly shuttered his hedge fund to work in the private sector last month, has never been charged with rape or sex trafficking. Buttigeig’s campaign did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

England can see off Australia with fearless and dynamic cricket

Eoin Morgan is adamant, there is a big reason to have faith in the prospect of the seismic semifinal World Cup against Australia.

That was when she [

For a few terrifying days in this tournament, it turned out that England had forgotten what had made them World Cup favorites in the first place. crashed to defeat by Australia, hot on the heels of humiliation by Sri Lanka, and the most crushing of all England & # 39; s World Cup cock-ups looked at the cards.

Since then England regained their dynamism and fearless approach to the point where their captain believes they can look at the old enemy in Edgbaston and book their date with destination against surprising finalists New Zealand on Sunday

Warner, Finch (capt), Smith, Wade, Handscomb, Stoinis, Carey (wkt), Cummins, Starc, Behrendorff

Roy, Bairstow, Root, Morgan (capt), Stokes, Buttler (wkt), Woakes, Rashid, Plunkett, Archer, Wood

Umpires: Kumar Dharmasena (SL) and Marais Erasmus (SA)

TV Referee: Chris Gaffaney (NZ).

The Referee: The Referee: Excuse on Thursday for not giving a good one.

Weather: & night rain to dry and cloudy, although there is a threat of scattered showers in the afternoon.

We can't wait to get back to work, & # 39;

& # 39; We are now a different team than we were three or four games Aug, & Morgan said.

& # 39; But we came here against India and produced something similar to the cricket we played in the last four years and then they were better against New Zealand. That was very encouraging and now we will review the same. Our strength is the way we play and we will stick to it. "

What a chance England waits. What a chance Morgan should be the first English captain to lift a 50-over World Cup if they can beat Australia and set up a date against the Kiwi & # 39 ; s at Lord & # 39; s.

Morgan carved a relaxed figure at Edgbaston

It was a sharp contrast to when the England captain seemed to be engulfed in pressure when Australia defeated him on Lord & # 39; s.

& # 39; The group stage cost a lot of us, & he said. & nbsp; that was due to the rollercoaster of emotions and performances we experienced during those nine games

& # 39; In retrospect, it didn't turn out badly.

It was Australia's left armvers – the excellent Mitchell Starc and the less-announced Jason Behrendorff – who did the damage to England with nine wickets between them at Lord & # 39; s and they will be the biggest b deliver the threat again on Thursday.

Allrounder Ben Stokes is seen during bowling during the English net session at Edgbaston

Morgan's ability to defeat Starc and his hunger for the short-balled squat that is definitely on the agenda again , thanks to Kevin Pietersen & # 39; s belief that Captain Starc was afraid of Lord & # 39; s. ]

& # 39; If Kevin Pietersen makes a comment, I address it in the same way as everything Geoffrey Boycott says, & # 39; Morgan told the BBC. & # 39; They are not comments that I think are good for the team environment and do not take into account the interests of the team or player in question.

Boys try their heart well for their country and try to learn and get better. We have critics who are critics. They have to do that, that's the job, so let them be. & # 39; Touche.

Instead of worrying about Starc, Morgan preferred to remind Australia that England has two bowlers in Jofra Archer and Mark Wood just as quickly. And the captain, who was bounced off by Starc on Lord & # 39; s, only has to think back two years ago about the Champions Champions Trophy win over Australia here in Birmingham, when he scored 87 against an attack involving the man on his Arch enemy was thought

With so much of this World Cup, it is fascinating to see what the captain who wins the throw does what really should be a flat field – as opposed to so many van de slow and

Starc has only seized four of his World Cup records – equivalent to 26 wickets when Australia was the first to bet in this tournament. Beating has proven to be the way, even for a side from England who entered the World Cup, convinced that they could pursue everything.

But rain can come around on Thursday and when it comes to a shortened second inning, maybe the Duckworth can hunt -Lewis method may come into play, be the way to go again. Morgan, who has won his last three tosses, can make a delicate decision if he makes it four out of four.

The captain would not exclude Moeen Ali and the ashes with two spinner played such a big role in England's one-day cricket prior to this tournament, but it would be a great surprise if he would Liam Plunkett to welcome. England will certainly remain unchanged.

It is Australia that has selection issues and could give a tournament notice to both substitute players in their team. Peter Handscomb, who came for Shaun Marsh, absolutely plays while Matthew Wade, confirmed as Usman Khawaja & # 39; s stand-in, could be rushed at the expense of Glenn Maxwell.

England has won their last 10 games in all respects formats at Edgbaston while Australia has not won since 2001.

There is a reason why we have been successful here & # 39; said Morgan. & # 39; The wicket tends to suit us, but the support also works. & # 39;

That can be invalidated by the Australian World Cup family. The five-time winners play in their eighth semifinals and have won the previous seven, while England was nowhere near this stage since the defeated finalists of Graham Gooch came so close to winning the 1992 tournament.

The bottom line is England is the best team at this World Cup, India, the next best, crashed on Wednesday and Morgan must ensure that there is no repeat of the 2015 final between Australia and New Zealand. All of England has to do it themselves.

SEMI-FINALS OF THE PREVIOUS CRICKET WORLD CUP

1975 Australia beat England with four wickets

Only Mike played in the inaugural World Cup Denness and his tail-Gender Geoff Arnold achieved double digits when Aussie left-poor Gary Gilmour pulled through England & # 39; s top six with 14 to play the hosts out for 93.

1983 India beat England with six wickets

Nathan Lyon and his fellow spinners are topping the charts of leading wicket takers, writes Robert Craddock | Nathan Lyon

Australia spinner Nathan Lyon and fast bowler Mitchell Starc took stunning catches to dismiss Moeen Ali and Jonny Bairstow as England suffered a dismal collapse in the second Ashes Test in Adelaide. Glenn Maxwell fell agonisingly short of a century at the MCG, but his innings of 96 has put Victoria in the driver's seat in their Sheffield Shield clash with Western Australia. Nathan Lyon had plenty to say before the Ashes started and so far he's backed up his words. Watch: Nathan Lyon's one-handed stunner to rub salt in England's wounds.

The man they call the GOAT was simply awesome in Brisbane, running out James Vince with a direct hit that turned the Test in Australia's favour. Overton, Woakes put up a fight after Starc & Lyon screamers. Chasing a mammoth 8-442, the highest score ever in a day-night Test, the pressure was on Alastair Cook, Joe Root and co to keep England's chances alive.Day 3 of the first-ever pink ball Ashes Test seems to be going in favour of the Australians. Lyon, Starc screamers leave England reeling.

Impressive in the first Test in Brisbane, the Australian spinner took four wickets as England were cleaned up for 227 in Adelaide. As they say 'catches win matches', the Australian players have managed to prove that.Boundaries continue to flow through Overton's bat as he gives Lyon the charge and thumps another boundary. After tearing through England's top-order in first session, Australia hit a roadblock in the form of a Moeen Ali-Jonny Bairstow stand. Their stories and styles are many and varied, from cheeky Pakistani leg-spinner Yasir to portly Sri Lankan veteran Herath, the quirky Indian genius Ashwin to Lyon who stands out for being just plain normal. A leaping Nathan Lyon plus precise pace bowling from Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood sapped what little confidence the tourists started the day with. Debutant Craig Overton was left stranded nine runs short of a half-century in his maiden Test innings as England were bowled out for 227 on day three at the Adelaide Oval. England's Jonny Bairstow watches as Australia's Nathan Lyon dives to take a catch to dismiss England's Moeen Ali during the third day of the second Ashes cricket test match. Root lasted just 10 deliveries, struggling to hide his disbelief after playing an expansive drive that resulted in a thick edge flying to Cameron Bancroft at third slip. Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc took brilliant catches to sum up the first half of day three of Australia's second Ashes Test against England.

IPL 2017 Fantasy Tips (updated): SRH vs RPSG and DD vs MI

With David Warner, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ben Stokes already in, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith are the only other capped players from this fixture who ought to upload fee to my group. Each of them, however, haven’t been as regular as you would love, to be banked on at this level of the match. Considering that his season debut in opposition to Delhi Daredevils, one in which he scored 89, Williamson has ratings of 21, fifty-four*, 40 and 24 – which isn’t exact enough to fasten an overseas spot for your delusion crew. The dearth of big ratings has lots to do along with his batting position, something that I have been saying all along. To get the exceptional out of the 26-year-old in a T20 in shape, you may make him open the innings. Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner beginning to bat loads higher than they did in the first 1/2 of the season best further influences the probabilities of Williamson coming top. So, except the Sunrisers suit into Agenda Mantra, it’s miles really difficult to get the fee from the Kiwi.

Smith, alternatively

Has crossed the 50-run mark simplest twice in 10 matches this season, which could be very bad for a batsman of his caliber.This is one of the motives why I took him out of my group ahead of the RCB-KXIP in shape. Even though he converts one today, the damage might be restrained, with the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan within the competition line-up.Additionally, Sunrisers should be looking at strengthening their bowling unit after the forgettable overall performance towards Daredevils, which should make it even greater difficult for the RPSG batsmen. Reviews endorse that Ashish Nehra is fit to take his region again inside the aspect, in all likelihood on the price of Mohammed Siraj. Bipul Sharma should go back to the team, too, after the manner he bowled in opposition to Ajinkya Rahane and Rahul Tripathi at Pune.

That is Aa perfect bowling attack for Yuvraj Singh to build on his knock in opposition to Daredevils in the ultimate in shape

But with Warner and Williamson batting above him, there are excellent probabilities of the southpaw no longer getting sufficient deliveries to reason any widespread harm. I anticipate Imran Tahir to be seen off, too.

With Mumbai Indians gambling Delhi Daredevils and Sunrisers Hyderabad in their subsequent fixtures, a couple of early wickets is a sensible expectation in each of them; and as an end result, Rohit Sharma will be compelled to come in early into the sport. The 30-12 months-old also can be carried to Mumbai’s next couple of fits relying on how matters flip out in the first two, which makes him my first choose.

IPL 2013 at a Glance

Five things small businesses can learn from the Australian cricket team's campaign in India.

After three thrilling test matches between Australia and India, where Australia could have easily been 3-0 up or even 1-2 down, we have a couple of days to take stock before the series goes to the decider at Dharamsala. During these few days respite for all the avid watchers and listeners out there, we have some time to reflect back on what has transpired. Although there are plenty of lessons to be learnt for cricketers, there are also some learnings that small businesses can take away as well.

1. A slow day in the office can still be a win

The fifth day in Ranchi was never realistically going to be a day where Australia would press for victory after Pujara and Saha dominated on day 4. But it was still a very important day for Australia in the context of the series. Not only to save the test match, but also to not give momentum to India heading into the final match. The application from Marsh and Handscomb in particular, although meant that the match reached a somewhat anti-climax, was a key component for giving Australia hope to still regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and perhaps even win the series outright.

From a small business point of view this mirrors those quiet days where the bell above the front door doesn't chime, the phone doesn't ring or your inbox stays empty. It is important to still make the most of these days and know that being able to ride them out will mean you are still in the game and ready for the battles that lie ahead. One of the biggest issues small businesses face is being able to stay in the game long enough to get that much needed break that propels them forward and so the more quiet days you can see through without having to close up shop the better position you will be in.

2. If something doesn't work the first time then don't give up on it

Before his recall into the Australian Test Team, Glenn Maxwell had only scored 80 runs in his 3 match career, averaging 13.33 with a top score of 37. Many had argued that Maxwell had seen the last of wearing the baggy green, but selectors put faith in him to help boost the Australian middle to late order. The first two tests of the series saw Australia's middle to late order fail to make the most of opportunities to put India out of the match, and hence there was a lot of pressure on Maxwell to perform.

His 104 off 185 balls, and more importantly the 191 stand he had with skipper Steve Smith made a very clear statement that Maxwell still has what it takes to be a successful long form player.

Small businesses will often try new things, be it products, marketing channels, promotions, etc, and these will often fail the first time, and even the second or third time. Persistence is key though. In some sales circles, it has been said that it takes up to seven contacts with a potential client before they will commit to a sale, and hence giving up after six attempts is costing your business. Many marketing approaches also need businesses to try things several times and even slightly modify them until the optimal mix is found. If you are trying things multiple times though just make sure that you have some way of testing what you are doing so that you can properly assess the true effectiveness of your activity.

3. Know when to move on

In a slight contradiction to the previous point, it is also good to know when to give up on an idea or a plan. Don't keep pushing all of your time into a social network that no one is following, or paying for advertising that isn't giving you a return on your investment. The difficult part here is knowing when you have crossed that line, i.e. are you on the edge of a break-through or are you continuing on a downward spiral. Again making sure that you are testing everything that you do is a good start to being able to make a call on this, but it also takes a bit of experience and gut-feel from yourself as well to know when to pull the pin.

The Australian cricket team may have got lucky in this area with the injury to Mitchell Marsh. India 2017 just wasn't going to be his series. The conditions didn't suit his style, his bowling wasn't really called upon and he didn't get a lot of luck either. He still has a lot to offer the Australian Test Team particularly on home soil, but an early exit in this series may have saved him from a few more disappointments. Look for him to bounce back soon though.

4. Be aware of the opposition but don't focus too much on it

There has been a lot of talk during this series both on and off the field. It has been a feature of Virat Kohli's cricket for some time now, and there are plenty of Australian players who don't mind to voice their opinions either. Although this is great from a promoter and spectator point of view, the players may have let this get the better of them at times throughout the series. It could be a case of less talk, more action for some players based on their performance so far.

This approach can also be taken by small businesses as well. Competition is everywhere you look now and it's not only from down the street. It is very important to understand where your competition is coming from and also be aware of what they are doing, but you also have to be cautious not to get too carried away by looking externally. The best way to fight off competition is look at what you are doing and do it better! What is your point of difference? What are your strengths? What things could you improve on? These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself in order to standout from your competition.

5. Know the conditions

One of the features of Australia's tour of India thus far is the way they have adapted to the playing conditions. Yes there have been some low points, particularly from a batting point of view where the opposite could be argued, but on the whole their ability to build reasonable totals on difficult pitches has been impressive. Australia has been very dominate for a number of seasons now on home soil. Our batsmen love the ball coming on and the bright sunny days, and it makes for big free flowing scores. But so many times we have watched Australian touring sides struggle to adapt abroad in places such as India, Sri Lanka, England and South Africa.

Coach Darren Lehmann has spoken about the team's preparation for this series and their time in the UAE where they have worked on playing in certain conditions, and it seems to be paying off (and before you say that Australia has only won the one match, the bookmakers had Australia at $9 to win the series, so no-one expected them to be in the running come the last match).

Many small businesses overlook this important step in creating their business plan. Knowing the environment you are operating in is a key to success (or at least a key to preventing failure). Understand your competition as mentioned previously, get to know your target market in depth and fill your toolkit with everything you need to combat the conditions in front of you.

Where the series will end in a week and a bits time is still anyone's guess at the moment. Each match has turned and twisted session on session and this is likely to continue. What we can be sure of though is that neither side is looking to take a backwards step, so let's just sit back and enjoy the show!

India continued from where they left off on the second day with both overnight players Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara going on to pile on runs. But it was only at the stroke of lunch when Vijay tried to go over the top and was stumped in the process. Having lost only one wicket in the first session, India would look to get as close as possible to the Australian total in the post-lunch session. (LIVE SCORECARD)

Catch all live cricket action on India vs Australia straight from Ranchi, India

12:12 IST: Four! Pujara starts off in fine fashion after lunch. Clips it off his legs for a boundary.

12:05 IST: Virat Kohli is the next man in for India. Vijay played a very poor shot just before lunch to throw his wicket away. It would be ideal for India not to lose any more wickets in this session.

11:32 IST: We will be back in 30 minutes. Do join us then.

11:31 IST: So players go for lunch. India 193 for 2.

11:01 IST: Vijay goes for the slog sweep and hits it well. Four runs!

Rahul and Vijay gave the hosts the perfect start after poor batting displays by the hosts in the opening two Tests. With still no further update on skipper Virat Kohli's shoulder injury, India needed to make a solid start.

Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood tested Vijay and Rahul for a brief period before tea but post the second session both Indian openers looked at ease. Rahul hit nine boundaries and once again looked good for a century before getting an unplayable delivery for Cummins.

Vijay and Pujara made sure there were no more hiccups for India and put the hosts in a strong position for an assault on the Australian score on Day 3.

Earlier, Smith's unbeaten 178 was the bedrock of the tourists' innings which also featured a maiden Test century by all-rounder Glenn Maxwell.

Australia were finally bowled out for 451 in their first innings with Ravindra Jadeja claiming his eighth five-wicket haul in his 29th match to return with figures of five for 124.
