Broad considers himself lucky despite being ruled out of the team

February 17, 2023

England completes all arts of failures in last year’s Ashes. They lost the series 4-0 to Australia. After that, the England Cricket Board (ECB) prepared the entire Test team. Brendon McCullum was appointed as the head coach, with Ben Stokes at the lead. But before that, Steward Broad was dismissed. However, this pacer thinks that he has been benefited from it.

Although Broad took the most wickets for England in that Ashes, 13. But even that did not save him from dismissal. He was dropped from the squad for the West series by the then ECB selection panel. However, he did not have to stay out of the national team for long. After Stokes and McCullum took charge, the star English pacer was brought back into the national team.

Despite being left out of the West Indies series, Broad feels it has been good for his career. If he had been in the team at that time, he also thinks that he could not have reached this stage now. In this context, Broad said, “That decision of the selectors (about the West Indies series) saved my career. Had I been in the team for that series, I might not be at this stage today.”

After that loss, Broad said he changed himself. The English pacer added, “I felt lucky because the selectors dropped me. Although no player wants to miss a game. But not being in that series, it was good for me. I changed my mindset. A few weeks after the drop I found myself completely changed.”

However, with Stokes at the helm, England are having the best time in Tests so far. Broad joined the team after Stokes became captain. Since then, he did not have to look back. Paired with another experienced pacer James Anderson, Broad is doing the work of twisting the batting line-up of the opposition. His name is also high on the list of greatest wicket-takers in England’s Test history.

Australia’s batsman will not play the reverse sweep because of his wife’s prohibition?

February 17, 2023

After the failure of Australia’s batsmen in the Nagpur Test, they were heavily criticized. They could not stand in front of the Indian bowlers. This time Australian batsman Alex Carey is getting new criticism. The criticism is mainly about his shot selection. Carey has made it clear that he will not play that shot because his wife forbids it. And for making such comments, this Australian batter is being criticized.

In the Nagpur Test, Carey’s dismissals were similar in both innings. He returned to the dressing room twice with reverse sweep. And this is seen by cricket experts as unexpected. According to many, he came out as irresponsible. However, this Australian wicketkeeper batsman gave a different explanation. Whether this shot brings him success or not, he will be off playing it for a while. He said that his wife forbade him to play this shot.

In the interview, Carey said, “I failed with the reverse sweep. I played this shot in both innings and got out. In the first innings I didn’t execute it properly, and in the second innings I did something different and got out. In the second innings disaster I wanted to play a little bit different from the others. And this shot (reverse sweep) will sometimes make you successful, sometimes it will make you fail. As it happened to me.”

Carey added, “You can never say it’s always going to give you success. So you have to find a balance between the two. My wife doesn’t like this shot at all. She has told me not to play it many times. And this time maybe I’ll listen to him, I won’t play this shot for a few days.”

It should be noted that Carey got runs in the first innings of the Nagpur Test. Even then, he played this reverse sweep shot. He also hit two boundaries with a reverse sweep. Early on, his batting was also quite aggressive. He made 36 off 33 balls. But then he was dismissed by Ravichandran Ashwin.

It should be noted that in the first Test against India, Carey’s Australia lost by an innings. Where Australia was all out for only 91 runs in the second innings. Carey himself was unsuccessful in batting. However, Carey expects his team to turn around in the second Test. Time will tell if Carey succeeds in avoiding the reverse sweep as he is saying.

What is the secret of Mashrafe’s magic in the BPL?

February 17, 2023

Mashrafe Bin Mortaza is the most successful captain in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) history. The former Tiger captain has already won four titles for different teams. This time Mashrafe showed magic with Sylhet Strikers. The team that never made it to the finals before has made it to the BPL finals. Captain Mashrafe changed everything. That is why Mashrafe is called a magician. But Mashrafe himself does not believe in those words.

Mashrafe showed exceptional cricket in the second qualifier match. He went down to bat at number three himself. Then, he stormed there again with the bat. Maybe this is where Sylhet’s captain changed the face of the match. However, after the game, Mashrafe also said that one could not be successful in cricket if one does not take risks. But not his magic, but God’s mercy is the main reason for success, said Mashrafe.

Mashrafe is very optimistic about his team in the final. However, he is also praising the opponent Comilla Victorians. Sylhet’s captain said, “I don’t have any special magic.

Everything is God’s grace. But everyone in the team has tried to play well. Hopefully, my team will play good cricket in the final as well. We will fight hard to win. But we know the opposition is also strong.”

Mashrafe also credits the supporters for the success of Sylhet. In this context, he also said, “The supporters expect good things from Sylhet in the BPL. But in the end, they have to be disappointed. Even then, they have not reduced their support. Instead, they are giving consent with their eyes closed. It plays a significant role in the success of the team. I have never seen such permission for any other party. “

Mashrafe’s luck in BPL is such that he will win the title for the team he goes to. Dhaka Gladiators, Comilla Victorians or Rangpur Riders have all tasted the title. If Sylhet also wins the first title under the leadership of Mashrafe, he will be able to prove his magic.

Meanwhile, Mashrafe has not lost any final in BPL before; he is in rhythm this time too. Let’s see if he can make Sylhet win the title at the end of the current BPL. Mashrafe Magic fans have high expectations.
