Owen leads Tasmania revival after Paris inroads

Published in Cricket
Friday, 01 November 2024 02:07

Tasmania 302 for 7 (Owen 83, Jewell 61, Paris 4-38) vs Western Australia

Half centuries from Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen have kept Tasmania's first innings on track in their Sheffield Shield match against Western Australia.

Tasmania, who lost to WA just a fortnight ago by six wickets in a Shield final rematch in Perth, ended day one 302 for 7 at Bellerive Oval. A run-a-ball 83 from No. 7 Owen helped lift the hosts from a precarious 153 for 4.

The Shield champions travelled to Hobart on top of the standings, but missing numerous key personnel.

Among the absentees were opener Cameron Bancroft, Cooper Connolly and rising spinner Corey Rocchiccioli on Australia A duty; Aaron Hardie and Josh Inglis preparing for upcoming one-day internationals, as well as Mitch Marsh (paternity leave) and Charlie Stobo (omitted).

Tasmania lined up without key middle-order batter Beau Webster who led their run-scoring tally last season, while the bowling line-up was boosted by the return of Gabe Bell and Lawrence Neil-Smith.

The home side survived the opening session without loss after being sent in to bat by opposition skipper Ashton Turner.

Tasmania posted a century stand before rookie medium-pacer Brody Couch had Jake Weatherald caught down the leg side for 49.

The ever-reliable Joel Paris then did the damage midway through the second session as Tasmania lost 3 for 18.

Jewell was trapped lbw for 61 after surviving an earlier let-off, before Charlie Wakim and captain Jordan Silk were both soon sent back to the pavillion.

Owen fell in the final hour having struck 13 boundaries and two sixes in a career-best knock, only for Paris to end the dangerous innings.

Brad Hope was then dismissed for 25 off Cameron Gannon having shared a 102-run stand with Owen.

Siddle rolls back the years to lead Victoria's attack

Friday, 01 November 2024 02:18

South Australia 286 for 9 (Hunt 62, Scott 53, Siddle 3-44) vs Victoria

Former Test paceman Peter Siddle has again proven age is no barrier as the 39-year-old ensured a weakened Victoria remains well placed after day one of their Sheffield Shield match against South Australia.

Wickets fell at regular intervals throughout the second and third sessions as South Australia ended the day 286 for 9 after being given first use of the Adelaide Oval batting strip by visiting captain Will Sutherland.

Test wicketkeeper Alex Carey was again among the runs while there were half centuries for Henry Hunt and Liam Scott but it was Siddle who made the day's most decisive contribution.

Siddle struck twice in an over to remove Daniel Drew and Jake Lehmann for a second duck in as many matches.

The indefatigable Siddle returned late in the day to clean bowl Scott and send the home side's last recognised batter on his way for 53, and ended the day with 3 for 44 from 18 overs.

Siddle, player of the match with 5 for 49 against a strong New South Wales last weekend, returned to the Shield side among a host of absentees for Victoria.

Bowlers Scott Boland, Todd Murphy and Fergus O'Neill, as well as opener Marcus Harris, all missed the third round match due to Australia A commitments.

Siddle, a veteran of 67 Tests, complemented a young Victoria bowling line-up featuring the returning Cam McClure, Mitch Perry and spinner Doug Warren, who replaced Murphy.

The day began in bizarre fashion with the fifth ball of the match eluding wicketkeeper Sam Harper and striking the fielding helmet for five penalty runs.

Despite the early gift, South Australia were unable to score fluently and only reached a scoring rate of two runs an over in the final moments of the morning session to be 62 for 1 at lunch.

Conor McInerney was the only batter to fall, off the bowling of Sutherland, before Siddle made his double breakthrough after the interval.

Hunt made a typically watchful 62 only to edge Warren to first slip from the first ball of the left-arm spinner's spell.

Siddle was also in action in the field, catching the in-form Carey on the boundary off the bowling of Perry.

Carey's knock ended on 44 as a pull shot failed to clear the narrow Adelaide Oval boundary to leave the home side at a wobbly 159 for 5.

Scott then played an important innings to revive South Australia, with assistance from Ben Manenti and debutant Henry Thornton.

From call centre to England - the rise of Feaunati

Published in Rugby
Friday, 01 November 2024 01:20

Having played in Super Rugby Aupiki for the Hurricanes Poua and Wellington Pride Feaunati made the move to England a year ago.

She has proven to be a superb find by Chiefs head coach Susie Appleby - not only English qualified but also international class.

"We were desperate to get EQP (English Qualified Player) numbers of quality players in here," Appleby tells BBC Sport.

"I probably brought in about four players from around the world that I found last season and she was the golden nugget.

"At first sight she was incredibly talented, but really raw.

"New Zealand don't play in systems, New Zealand just play rugby. She had no idea about the why's, the how's, the where's.

"That was the exciting bit, that you can learn that, but you can't teach raw talent."

Appleby is under no illusions of how good Feaunati could become - especially with a World Cup on the horizon:

"The world's her oyster. She's got a massive future ahead of her, but she's a young player still," Appleby added.

"She's learning her trade, she could be one of the best players in the world, but she's not yet."

Feaunati says her ambition for some time had been to make the move to Premiership Women's Rugby, while deep down knowing she had what it took to have a chance of playing on the international stage.

"I was seeing how far I could get in New Zealand and i was probably there or thereabouts," she said.

"I could have given it a couple more years, but to me growing up and watching the Red Roses and being part of the RFU is something that I really missed.

"I wanted to follow in my Dad's footsteps a bit in coming over here and doing the club thing, but I always knew that I could play for England, so I strived for that as well."

The 'special feeling' created by beating All Blacks

Published in Rugby
Friday, 01 November 2024 00:35

"There was electricity in the air at Twickenham," recalled former England centre Brad Barritt.

"We were playing the world champions, a team littered with experience and a trophy cabinet the desire of most rugby players across the globe.

"We knew we faced a huge challenge but you just felt this special feeling brimming in the team."

World number one side New Zealand, boasting household names Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, rocked up to Twickenham in December 2012 expecting to extend their unbeaten run to 21 matches.

Those outside of England's camp gave them little hope of beating the All Blacks for the first time in nine years, but within Stuart Lancaster's squad was a quiet sense of anticipation.

Barritt said there was a feeling among the players they were "due a big performance".

What followed, was one of the finest performances in English rugby history and a record 38-21 win over New Zealand.

"We probably hadn't had the results in that autumn series so it built to a crescendo facing an unstoppable All Blacks side, which was widely regarded as one of the best rugby teams ever," the 38-year-old Barritt told BBC Sport.

New Zealand were heavy favourites but Owen Farrell's ever-reliable boot rewarded his side for their set-piece dominance and gave the hosts a 15-0 lead at half-time.

Having last beaten their opponents in 2003, England were in unfamiliar territory holding the advantage at the break, but Barritt said they were disappointed not to be further in front.

"We probably didnt execute some of the opportunities we created but we did build some scoreboard momentum," he said.

"Everyone knew the opponents we were facing though, and how they were going to bounce back."

English trepidation was quickly realised.

The world champions recovered after the interval and scored two quick tries through Julian Savea and Kieran Read to reduce the deficit to one point.

The seemingly inevitable comeback was almost complete.

"Suddenly you are at parity and having to restart the game," added Barritt.

"But there was a still a lot of positivity among the players. We had barely fired a shot at New Zealand in the second half and wanted to get back on the front foot and execute on one of our plays."

Three minutes after Read's try, Barritt broke through in midfield before combining with centre partner Manu Tuilagi to score in the corner.

Stumps India A 107 and 208 for 2 (Sai Sudharsan 96*, Padikkal 80*, O'Neill 1-33) lead Australia A 195 (McSweeney 39, Connolly 37, Mukesh 6-46, Prasidh 3-59) by 120 runs

After the first day's spotlight shone firmly on Australia's Test hopefuls, India Test squad member Abhimanyu Easwaran and reserve Mukesh Kumar had contrasting fortunes before B Sai Sudharsan and Devdutt Padikkal led an India A fightback on day two in Mackay.

Trailing by 88 runs on the first innings, India stared down the barrel at 30 for 2 after the wickets of skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and Abhimanyu. But Sai Sudharsan and Padikkal steadied the ship with an unbroken 178-run partnership as batting became easier on a surface that flattened out as the day wore on.

They learned the lessons from India A's disastrous first innings of 107 when a number of batters nicked off. Sai Sudharsan and Padikkal demonstrated patience and judged the full lengths well as they closed in on centuries. They waited to pick off the bowling, which was more wayward than on the opening day.

Both batters used their feet well to offspinner Todd Murphy, who did not threaten and had figures of none for 54 from 17 overs. His struggles reared just before stumps when a delivery slipped from his fingers and landed near the square leg umpire.

It was a terrific recovery from India A after the wickets of Gaikwad and Abhimanyu, who each had double failures for the match. Gaikwad could only tentatively poke at a length delivery from quick Fergus O'Neill and edged to second slip where Cameron Bancroft demonstrated why he is one of the country's best fielders, with a sharp catch low to the ground.

Abhimanyu is seen as a contender to play in the early part of the Test series given the uncertainty over Rohit Sharma. But he was all at sea against the new ball with O'Neill producing rampant movement.

Abhimanyu was fortunate to have survived on 2 after edging quick Jordan Buckingham to third slip only for the delivery to be deemed a no-ball. The pressure was building on Abhimanyu, who attempted to play more positively and also scampered for tight singles on a couple of occasions. But he pushed his luck after dashing off for a quick run only for the athletic Buckingham at midwicket to throw down the stumps leaving the diving batter just short of his ground.

India's recovery appeared to have had a setback when Padikkal on 31 drove O'Neill straight to Nathan McSweeney at short extra-cover only for the delivery to be called a no-ball.

Padikkal had medical treatment on his legs late in the day, but fought through as India A eyed setting a tough target with the focus soon to shift once again to those Australia A batters hoping to partner Usman Khawaja in the first Test.

India A's revival was started by Mukesh. He bowled unwavering spells and nipped the ball both ways to finish with 6 for 46, while quick Prasidh Krishna unfurled canny changes of pace, which has served him well in white-ball cricket, to claim a three-wicket haul.

Australia A resumed their first innings at 99 for 4, trailing by just eight runs, with skipper McSweeney having a golden opportunity to boost his bid for first Test selection. McSweeney had survived through to stumps on a madcap day one after the early dismissals of Test candidates Bancroft, Sam Konstas and Marcus Harris.

He once again showcased dogged defence and good judgment to leave deliveries outside his off stump. After a slow start to the day's play, it took 17 deliveries until the first runs were scored when Cooper Connolly flayed a boundary through the off side.

Connolly, 21, decided to counter-attack and quickly passed McSweeney after smashing 22 runs in an eight-ball whirlwind. His ability to shift gears is a reason why Connolly has risen in the ranks quickly and is seen as a contender for the Test tour of Sri Lanka early next year.

In a contrast to many batters so far in this match, Connolly drove with ease and underlined why in Western Australian cricket circles he has been compared favourably to former Test batter Shaun Marsh. He appeared set for his fourth half-century from six innings in his first-class career before a tame dismissal on 37 when he mistimed a delivery from Mukesh to square-leg.

It led to the quick wickets of Josh Philippe and McSweeney, whose dedication to defence was finally broken when he was caught at gully after being lured into driving a full delivery from Nitish Kumar Reddy.

Reddy was able to find late movement that deceived McSweeney to highlight an impressive performance of 1 for 14 from seven overs.

Australia A led by just 29 runs at the fall of McSweeney's wicket before Murphy hit a breezy 33 to frustrate India A. It was left to Mukesh to finally wrap up the innings as he clean bowled Brendan Doggett for his fifth wicket and then picked up Murphy - who was the fourth batter in the innings to fall in the 30s.

Queensland 36 for 0 trail New South Wales 239 (Patterson 91, Edwards 88, Lovell 3-13, Straker 3-69) by 203 runs

Kurtis Patterson made his highest first-class score in two years on his return to the New South Wales side as he and Jack Edwards engineered a recovery against Queensland after the visiting quicks had caused early problems.
NSW slumped to 59 for 5 during the morning session as the new ball nibbled around with 19-year Tom Straker, in his second first-class match, taking three early wickets. But Patterson, who had returned to a line-up missing a host of players on Australia duty after being dropped last season, and Edwards, himself making a comeback from injury, added 135 in 35 overs for the sixth wicket.

"I probably haven't said it publicly but I think I needed to be dropped when I was last year because frankly, I wasn't batting well enough," Patterson said. "I'd be lying if I said that thought never crossed my mind, whether I'd get another go back here. But thankfully I've kind of ticked all the boxes with [grade club] St George and got my opportunity."

However, NSW then lost 4 for 3 at the end of their innings and Queensland's openers, Usman Khawaja and Matt Renshaw, were able to get through some testing new ball spells, including Josh Hazlewood's first of the season to finishing unbeaten.

Patterson played two Tests back in 2019 against Sri Lanka, scoring a century in the second and finishing with an average of 144, but fell out of contention shortly after and last season lost his place in the NSW side after being dumped as captain.

He fought hard against the moving ball in the opening session before taking advantage of easier conditions in the afternoon and was in sight of his first century since 2022 when he was given caught behind off Angus Lovell although he seemed upset with the decision.

Edwards, who missed the last round with a hamstring injury, played positively from the outset to wrestle back some initiative for NSW. Like Patterson, he did not appeared pleased with the caught-behind decision which ended his innings short of what would have been a third first-class century.

That heralded a late collapse for NSW as Lovell and captain Mitchell Swepson cleaned up the lower order.

The day had started in similar style for the home side with Blake Nikitaras falling in the opening over when he jabbed a full delivery from Liam Guthrie to third slip. Nic Maddinson tried to take the positive route but dragged on against Straker for 10 off six deliveries with Ollie Davies then falling to an excellent delivery which nipped off the seam to take off stump.

Moises Henriques drove a wide delivery to point and Matthew Gilkes got a top edge to a short ball.

Queensland's attack did an excellent job in the absence of senior figures Michael Neser (Australia A) and Mark Steketee (injury).

Australia will play two Tests in Galle on their tour of Sri Lanka from late January, which could be vital in deciding who reaches the final of the World Test Championship, while an ODI has been added to the trip as preparation for the Champions Trophy.

Depending on how the five-match Border-Gavaskar series plays out, the series may be crucial to both side's hopes of reaching Lord's in June.

The Tests will be held from January 29-February 2 and February 6-10. The ODI will then take place on February 13 at a venue still to be confirmed with the teams then scheduled to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

There is a chance Australia could be without captain Pat Cummins for all or part of the tour due to the birth of his second child.

"We'll see what that looks like closer to the time," head coach Andrew McDonald said. "We've got a couple of players in Mitch Marsh and Travis Head taking paternity leave at the moment. So we respect that if that was to unfold for that particular time and if he wants to miss a Test. If he's got bigger things to take care of than a Test match in Sri Lanka, then that's fine with us."

McDonald and chair of selectors George Bailey have suggested they will select players specifically for Sri Lankan conditions. Glenn Maxwell is in contention for a return while left-arm spinner Matt Kuhnemann could be an option to supplement Nathan Lyon given the success of left-arm orthodox spinners in the subcontinent.

"I think if we're really going to be serious about the young spinners going over there, whoever is going to accompany Nathan [Lyon], is the Big Bash the best preparation?" he told ESPNcricinfo. "I'd be encouraging the selectors to let these spinners be going earlier and then I'd be encouraging those spinners to practice with a red ball in between Big Bash games."

Wilson's 'Jumpman' TD grab leaves Jets awestruck

Published in Breaking News
Friday, 01 November 2024 00:21

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Trailing in the fourth quarter, his team's season teetering on the brink, wide receiver Garrett Wilson delivered OBJ 2.0 -- a spectacular, one-handed catch in the end zone that propelled the New York Jets to a 21-13 victory over the Houston Texans on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium.

Wilson's 26-yard touchdown, his second of the game, was the talk of a jubilant postgame locker room. Some players said it reminded them of Odell Beckham Jr.'s iconic catch for the New York Giants 10 years ago in the same stadium (same end zone, different side).

Others described it as Michael Jordan-esque. In fact, Wilson -- in midair -- resembled the Jumpman logo, with his legs split and right hand high in the air as he snatched Aaron Rodgers' third-and-21 pass in front of Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter.

"He looked like he was Jordan," defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw said. "Unbelievable."

Initially ruled incomplete because Wilson got only one foot down, the Jets won a replay challenge after officials ruled that his left shin landed inbounds in the back of the end zone. Based on the rules, one shin equals two feet.

"Oh, my goodness," interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said. "I mean, I was talking to the ref when they were reviewing it. I'm like, 'Just for the sake of posterity, you have to let it stand just so it goes down in history.' It would rival the Odell catch. It was amazing."

Wide receiver Davante Adams said he didn't see the replay until after the game. He joked with Wilson about the catch, saying it was so similar to the Jumpman logo that he might have to switch his endorsement allegiance.

"I told him he might get kicked from Adidas after that one," Adams said. "That one looked like he's headed over to Jumpman with me. We're going to see. I'm going to talk to some people about that one. I'm not going to say they're going to replace the logo because Mike might not like me saying that, but that was a hard catch."

Not only was it acrobatic, but it was important, as the Jets (3-6) snapped a five-game losing streak to preserve their faint playoff hopes. After a dreadful first half, the Jets scored a touchdown on their last three drives to pull out a virtual must-win.

Wilson, who had a critical drop in a Week 7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, finished with nine catches for 90 yards. His first touchdown, a 21-yarder, also was a one-handed grab. That was nice, too, but his second touchdown could turn out to be a turning point in the season.

"I was like, 'That's a good one, that's a good one. And it's got to count,'" Wilson said. "I remember saying to all of them, I'm like, 'Y'all gassing me up too early. This has to count, y'all, let's chill.' Once it counted, I was like, 'Yeah, all right, now y'all can tell me whatever.'"

Wilson was 14 years old when Beckham made his legendary catch against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson was at his family's home in Texas, watching with his father.

"Man, Odell's, it was different," he said. "He got two feet down. The ball was going to land out of bounds, and it was Odell, man. It was Odell against the Cowboys. That was the one. So for this to even come up in that convo, I'm blessed. I'm honored."

Wilson's touchdown gave the Jets a 14-10 lead with 12:54 left. The clincher came when Rodgers (22-for-32, 211 yards) threw his third scoring pass, this one a 37-yarder to Adams -- his first receiving touchdown since being traded by the Las Vegas Raiders.

Rodgers admitted he was "terrible" in the first half, throwing for only 32 yards, matching a career low. The low point came when rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley, on his first NFL carry, fumbled the ball out of the end zone for a touchback -- a huge gaffe.

Corley, who got the ball on a jet sweep, had a clear path to the end zone but released the ball before he crossed the goal line. He celebrated as if he had scored his first touchdown, but a replay review confirmed that he was short.

Rodgers called it a "silly" play. Corley didn't stick around to talk about it, leaving before the media was allowed in the locker room. Ulbrich admitted he was "definitely frustrated, to be honest -- and angry at the same time. But what an amazing opportunity for this kid to learn and grow from. I promise you, 10 years from now when he's still playing in this league, that will never happen again."

The Jets trailed after a sloppy and listless first half, but then Wilson scored. And scored again, with a catch they will be talking about for a long time.

"Yeah, that's up there," Wilson said. "Just given that it's the stage is on -- it's in the NFL. But when I was in Little League, man, I used to have some catches now. For real, bro. So it felt like I was going back to those days a little bit."

With one month to go until the prestigious ITTF Mixed Team World Cup 2024, the ITTF is delighted to unveil the 16 qualified teams that will battle for the Guoliang-Sörling Trophy in Chengdu, China, from 1-8 December 2024. 

The elite lineup features a perfect blend of established powerhouses and emerging forces in world table tennis, representing five continents. Defending champions China will face stern competition on home soil as they aim to retain their crown from the inaugural 2023 edition.  

The competing teams are: 

The tournament also features an innovative three-stage format. In Stage 1, the 16 teams will be divided into four groups of four, where the highest-ranked teams are placed in different groups (1st in Group 1, 2nd in Group 2, 3rd in Group 3, and 4th in Group 4), with the remaining teams drawn two at a time in seeding order following a snake system. Each group will be played in a complete round-robin format. 

In Stage 2, the top two teams from each Stage 1 group advances to form a single eight-team group. These teams then compete in another round-robin format, but with a strategic variation teams that have already faced each other in Stage 1 wont play again, with their previous results carrying forward. This innovative approach ensures fresh matchups while maintaining the significance of early tournament performances.  

The competition culminates in Stage 3, where the stakes are at their highest. The top four teams from Stage 2s standings qualify for the knockout phase, featuring both semi-finals and placement matches. The semi-final matchups are determined by ranking, with the first-placed team facing the fourth-placed team, whilst second plays third. Each teams journey concludes with either the final or the bronze medal match, ensuring every podium position is determined through head-to-head competition.  

This comprehensive format, totalling 52 matches across all stages (24 in Stage 1, 24 in Stage 2, and 4 in Stage 3), guarantees that the eventual champions must demonstrate both consistency through the round-robin phases and excellence in the knockout stage.

Each team match follows the following:

  • The order of play shall be:
    1. Mixed doubles
    2. Womens singles (player not playing mixed doubles)
    3. Mens singles (player not playing mixed doubles)
    4. Womens doubles vs Womens doubles/Mens doubles vs Mens doubles*
    5. Mens doubles vs Mens doubles/Womens doubles vs Womens doubles* *The order of play for matches 4 & 5 shall be determined after the first match by the captain of the lower-ranked team
  • All individual matches are played best-of-three games (result 3-0 or 2-1)
  • Team matches end when one team accumulates 8 games

The Mixed Team World Cup represents a unique celebration of gender equality in table tennis, with each team featuring between three and four players of each gender. This format has already proven to be a hit with fans and players alike during last years inaugural event, combining mens and womens singles, doubles, and mixed doubles matches throughout the competition. With Chengdus state-of-the-art facilities ready to welcome these 16 exceptional teams, table tennis fans worldwide can look forward to a spectacular showcase of the sports finest talent this December. 

New Zealand bat; Santner and Bumrah out of Mumbai Test

Thursday, 31 October 2024 21:03

Toss New Zealand chose to bat vs India

New Zealand won their second toss of the series and decided to bat first as they pushed for a first-ever whitewash against India in India. It was an important toss to win again because batting last was not expected to be fun. However, Dinesh Karthik, who inspected the pitch, said there was moisture in the surface, which was expected to make for early turn as well, then some settling down and a lot of turn after that.

New Zealand made two changes, both fitness related. Mitchell Santner, who bowled New Zealand to a win with a sore side in Pune, was out with the side strain, making way for legspinner Ish Sodhi. Matt Henry recovered from a Grade 1 gluteal tear to take his place in the XI, replacing Tim Southee.
Santner had picked up a side strain during the final day of the Pune Test, where he played a starring role. He was ruled out for Mumbai after failing a fitness test on match eve.
India, fighting for pride and also crucial World Test Championship points, made one change: the unwell Jasprit Bumrah made way for Mohammed Siraj. A BCCI statement said Bumrah had "not fully recovered from his viral illness".

KL Rahul continued to sit out despite the batting failure against spin in Pune.

New Zealand 1 Tom Latham (capt.), 2 Devon Conway, 3 Will Young, 4 Rachin Ravindra, 5 Daryl Mitchell, 6 Tom Blundell (wk), 7 Glenn Phillips, 8 Ish Sodhi, 9 Matt Henry, 10 Ajaz Patel, 11 Will O'Rourke

India 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Rohit Sharma (capt.), 3 Shubman Gill, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Rishabh Pant (wk), 6 Sarfaraz Khan, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Washington Sundar, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Akash Deep
