Dharamsala, May 18 (Ians) While hailing Punjab Kings for taking the decision to retire out Atharva Taide during their 15-run loss to Delhi Capitals, former West Indies fast-bowler Ian Bishop believes that call could have come earlier in the innings.
Chasing 214 at the Hpca Stadium in Dharamshala, Punjab were at 128/3 and needed 86 runs in 30 balls, when they made a tactical move to retire out Taide, who made a 42-ball 55, in the 15th over, bringing an end to a 50-ball 78-run second-wicket partnership with Liam Livingstone, who would go on to make a scintillating 94 off 48 balls.
“The over before, I was getting ready to put on social media – retired out, but I was reluctant in case he did a Rahul Tewatia, and that kind of opprobrium being thrown back at me.”
“But I want to give them credit for actually making the decision, whoever made it, because it’s not an easy decision to make,...

In reply, after a shaky start, Atharva Taide ( 55 off 42) and Livingstone’s blitzkrieg (94 off 48) brought Pbks back in the game. However, Delhi bowlers did well to keep taking wickets from one end despite fireworks from Livingstone as they dealt a hammer blow to Punjab’s chances of qualifying for the play-offs with a 15-run win.

New Delhi, May 12 (Ians) Time and again, it’s been the batting, which has let Delhi Capitals (DC) down in the ongoing Ipl 2023 and the David Warner led side will look to sort it out when they face a desperate Punjab Kings (Pbks) in the Match No 59 of the season at Arun Jaitley Stadium, here on Friday.
Both teams are coming off crushing defeats in their last matches respectively. Delhi lost to Chennai on a spin-friendly Chepauk track while Punjab Kings suffered a last-ball defeat against Kkr at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
The Capitals are placed at the bottom of the table with eight points from 11 matches and even if they win their next three matches, it will only take them to 14 points, which might not be enough to earn them a place in the top four.

Mohali, May 3 (Ians) When Punjab Kings, after being put in to bat first, posted 214/3, thanks to Liam Livingstone’s scintillating 82 off 42 balls and Jitesh Sharma continuing his good form to be unbeaten on 49 off 27 balls, while sharing a 119-run stand for the fourth wicket, it seemed Mumbai Indians were on the backfoot.
After conceding 69 runs in the last five overs, Mumbai were even further pushed backwards when Rishi Dhawan dismissed Rohit Sharma for a three-ball duck in the first over and lost Cameron Green in the last over of power-play.
But Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium on Wednesday. In front of a vociferous crowd, Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar brought out his innovative array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a match-winning partnership of 116 for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets.

Ipl 2023: Advised Sikandar to stand away from leg stump to hit against Pathirana, says Shahrukh Khan
Chennai, May 1 (Ians) In Sunday’s thrilling afternoon match between Chennai Super Kings (Csk) and Punjab Kings (Pbks), Sikandar Raza was at the strike when the visitors needed three runs off the last ball for a victory at Chepauk.
Raza eventually helped Punjab to victory by taking three runs off a slower delivery from Matheesha Pathirana going over backward square leg, remaining unbeaten on 13 off 7 balls.
Now, lower-order batter Shahrukh Khan, who was at non-striker’s end as Raza got the winning runs to chase down 201 successfully, revealed that he had advised the Zimbabwe all-rounder to stand outside the leg-stump to get runs off Pathirana.
“I advised Sikandar to stand away from the leg stump because the bowler (Matheesha Pathirana) was bowling low and chances were to hit the ball from the middle of the bat. According to me, Pathirana is one of the best death overs bowlers currently and...

Ipl 2023: Stoinis, Mayers' fifties power Lucknow Super Giants to historic 257/5 against Punjab Kings
Mohali, April 28 (Ians) Attacking fifties from Marcus Stoinis and Kyle Mayers powered Lucknow Super Giants to historic 257/5 against Punjab Kings in an Ipl 2023 match at Is Bindra Stadium, here on Friday.
Lucknow got off to a flying start thanks to Kyle Mayers Kyle Mayers 54 off 24. Then Marcus Stoinis and Ayush Badoni stitched 89 run partnership and Lsg stood strong in the middle overs.
Nicholas Pooran’s 19-ball 45 quickfire did the rest as Lsg posted a massive total of 257/5 on the board, second highest total in Ipl history. Rcb have the highest Ipl total to their name when they scored 263/5 in 20 overs against Pune Warriors India in 2013.
Pbks debutant Gurnoor bowled a brilliant opening over, giving away just two. He could’ve got the Lsg skipper Kl Rahul, who looked to drive on the up and hit it straight to the point where Atharva Taide got both hands on the ball to his left but spilled it.

When I was a kid in the late 1980s, the world was very different. We didn’t have the internet, we didn’t have mobile phones, we didn’t have thousands of channels to surf and our computer game choices were limited, even more so given their expense. However, there was one option that many kids of that age in the UK had in common: the fantastic, immersive books Fighting Fantasy by Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson that allowed you to make decisions and choose your adventure. They were the best thing since sliced bread, frankly, but we mention their existence here as Livingstone and Jackson were also central in bringing Dungeons and Dragons to the UK in the late 1970s which, in turn, has led us to 2023 and the latest attempt to get the famed game to the big screen.

London, March 13 (Ians) Experienced England all-rounder Moeen Ali has hinted that he could call time on his One-day International career after the team’s title defence of the 50-over World Cup to be held in India later in the year.
Moeen has already retired from Test cricket and only plays white-ball cricket for England and in franchise leagues all around the world.
The 35-year-old has made it clear that the World Cup in India is a clear priority but has floated the idea of subsequently stepping away from the format,
“I don’t set a lot of goals, but I want to play that World Cup, be a part of that World Cup and hopefully win that World Cup and then we’ll see,” he told talkSPORT 2 ahead of Tuesday’s series-ending T20 in Bangladesh.
“I’m not saying I will retire or I’m not saying I won’t retire.

London, Dec 8 (Ians) Pace bowler Mark Wood will return to the England team in place of the injured Liam Livingstone for the second Test against Pakistan starting on Friday.

By winning the second Test in Multan, England are looking to seal their first Test series win against Pakistan in an away series in 22 years.
Wood has not played a Test since March because of an elbow injury that kept him out of the home summer.

Rawalpindi, Dec 3 (Ians) With their attacking approach, England took four wickets in the final session and reduced Pakistan to 499 for 7 at the end of day three of the first Test to keep their faint hopes of victory alive, here on Saturday.
On a flat surface, the visitors were made to toil in the field throughout the afternoon with little reward as Babar Azam led Pakistan’s resistance with a glorious hundred. The hosts were trailing by 158 runs at stumps on Day 3 with Agha Salman (10) and Zahid Mahmood (1) unbeaten at the crease.
Babar’s calm and composed innings of 136 came to an end before tea when he cut Will Jacks straight to the point and departed. It was the first sign of any spin in the track, and gave life to the rest of the England bowling attack, as Pakistan lost four wickets for just 88 in the final session.

Melbourne, Nov 22 (Ians) England all-rounder and T20 specialist Liam Livingstone has pulled out of the upcoming edition of Australia’s Big Bash League (Bbl) for Melbourne Renegades because of increased international workload.
The Renegades were expecting the 29-year-old to be available for the first eight matches of the tournament, beginning on December 13, but have been left “disappointed” by the decision.
A statement issued by the Renegades said on Tuesday, “The Melbourne Renegades can confirm Liam Livingstone has withdrawn from Bbl-12. Livingstone, part of England’s recent T20 World Cup success, was selected by the Renegades with pick one in the inaugural Bbl Overseas Draft. It was expected he would be available for the first eight matches of the tournament.

New Delhi, Nov 14 (Ians) Former India captain and head coach Anil Kumble thinks that fielding separate teams in red-ball and white-ball cricket is the way forward for all the teams in international cricket.
England’s tremendous success in white-ball cricket and leading them to being 2019 Odi World Cup winners as well as champions of 2022 T20 World Cup has reignited the debate for teams having different teams for red-ball and white-ball cricket matches.
“Definitely, you need separate teams. You need, certainly, T20 specialists. I think what this English team has shown and even the last (T20) World Cup champions Australia have shown is that you need to invest in a lot of all-rounders. Look at the batting order.”
“Today Liam Livingstone is batting at No. 7. No other team has a No. 7 of the quality of Livingstone. (Marcus) Stoinis walks in at No. 6 (for Australia). That’s the kind of team you have to build.

Melbourne, Nov 12 (Ians) After a topsy-turvy time in the Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia, the final of the tournament has arrived. If the unpredictable weather of Melbourne permits a full match, then fans are in store for a blazing final between a confident England and solid Pakistan on Sunday, which is ironically a repeat of the settings of the 1992 Odi World Cup final clash.
With both teams on their quest to win just their second T20 World Cup title, the heavy rain predicted for the final showdown on Sunday as well as on Monday, the reserve day, the trophy could be shared between the two teams. Fans will be praying to the cricketing gods to conjure up miraculous circumstances for the match to be held, even if it is a 10-overs a side affair.

Adelaide, Nov 10 (Ians) Half-centuries from Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli powered India to a challenging 168/6 against England in the second semifinal of the Mens T20 World Cup at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.
While Kohli was sublime in smashing four fours and a six in his 40-ball 50, his fourth fifty of the tournament, Pandya gave a massive boost to the Indian innings in the last five overs with a 33-ball 63, hitting four fours and five sixes at a strike-rate of 190.91, as the side got 68 runs off the last five overs.
England bowled excellently till the 15th over to deny India scoring opportunities towards the short square boundaries and got them to play more towards the longer side of the ground. While Chris Jordan picked 3/43 on his England comeback, leg-spinner Adil Rashid and pacer Chris Woakes were outstanding in their tight spells while taking a wicket each.

Melbourne, Oct 18 (Ians) England Test skipper Ben Stokes’ return to the T20I setup has added to Jos Buttler’s selection dilemma ahead of the Icc T20 World Cup, with the white-ball captain wanting to play the charismatic allrounder at the top of the order while also realising it could create an imbalance in the bowling department on bouncy Australian pitches.
“He (Stokes) is someone we want to try to give as much opportunity to impact the game as possible, try to get him up the order as high as we can,” Buttler was quoted as saying by Icc on Tuesday. “We’re looking to give him as much responsibility as possible and allow him to play his way to get the best out of him.”
With Alex Hales likely to partner Buttler as the top of the batting order and Dawid Malan almost certain to come in at No.

Melbourne, Oct 15 (Ians) England’s charismatic batting allrounder Liam Livingstone has said there was no indication he would be included in the squad for the historic Test tour of Pakistan in December this year until head coach Brendon McCullum called up to say he had been included.
An ankle injury while playing for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred forced Livingstone to miss the long T20I series in Pakistan and he has flown straight into Australia from England to begin his limited training before the showpiece global event.
Livingstone will be looking to make his Test debut in Pakistan, having been called up to the Test squad for the first time since England’s tour of New Zealand in the spring of 2018. The big hitter is also the new recipient of England’s Annual Central Contract.

Perth, Oct 8 (Ians) England white-ball skipper Jos Buttler has said he is 100 per cent fit for three-match T20I series against Australia beginning here on October 9, which will serve as warm-up for the Icc T20 World Cup, scheduled to commence on October 16.
Buttler missed the seven-match T20I series in Pakistan recently as he was recovering from a calf injury with allrounder Moeen Ali leading the side to a 4-3 victory in the fixture.
However, ahead of the matches against Australia, Buttler said he had recovered fully from a calf injury that had been troubling him since mid-August.
“I’m back to 100 per cent,” Buttler was quoted as saying by Sky Sports on Saturday after England flew into Australia following the series in Pakistan.
“Had a good time in Pakistan rehabbing, probably could have played earlier, but with the World Cup around the corner, it was the right thing to...

Lahore, Oct 3 (Ians) An unbeaten 78 by Dawid Malan and useful contributions from Ben Duckett (30) and Harry Brook (46 not out) propelled England to a 67-run series-winning victory against Pakistan in the seventh and final T20I at the Gaddafi Stadium here on Sunday night.
The 4-3 series win will be a big boost for the reigning Odi world champions as they aim for the Icc T20 World Cup trophy later this month in Australia.
Chasing 210 for victory, Pakistan could manage just 142/8 in 20 overs with Chris Woakes wreaking havoc at the top of the order by dismissing skipper Babar Azam (4) and then getting rid of the dangerous Shan Masood (56).
For Pakistan, it was a disappointing finale as they surrendered after having contested the series so resolutely. They missed tall pace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi through injury and the ongoing concerns surrounding the fitness of teenage right-arm quick Naseem Shah, who will be...

A man who hit a flight attendant on a flight going from Mexico to Los Angeles was arrested after the plane touched down, and American Airlines said he has been banned from their airline for life as well.
According to an online video recorded by Barrie Livingstone, the passenger was arguing, and the person who shared it said the flight attendant didn’t let him use the first class bathroom. The attendant is heard saying “are you threatening me?”
As the attendant starts walking away, a man in a Hawaiian shirt advances and punches him in the back of the head.
Livingstone told Ktla the altercation was “totally unprovoked,” and that he was restrained by passengers with zip ties for the rest of the flight.
Along with being banned from the airline according to a statement by American, he was charged with the federal offense of interfering with a flight crew.

An ankle injury while playing for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred forced Livingstone to miss the long T20I series in Pakistan and he will be flying straight into Australia from England next week to begin his limited training before the showpiece global event.
Livingstone is continuing with his rehabilitation at the Emirates Old Trafford for the past couple of weeks and will join the rest of his England teammates in Australia after they complete their T20I assignment in Pakistan.

Melbourne, Sep 6 (Ians) Star England batter Liam Livingstone has said he wants to make a big impact for Melbourne Renegades in the upcoming season of the Big Bash League (Bbl) by playing an entertaining brand of cricket, adding that he would like to bring the team back into title contention after a couple of lacklustre years.
Livingstone, 29, has made a name for himself in T20 leagues around the world, giving sterling performances for Punjab Kings in Ipl 2022, where he scored 437 runs at a strike rate of 182.
In his two seasons in the Bbl (9 and 10), he smashed 55 sixes in 28 games — and will look to bring that ‘fearless’ approach to the Renegades.
Livingstone was recently ruled out of the remainder of The Hundred — where he plays for Birmingham Phoenix — with an ankle injury, but should be fit for Bbl-12 early next year.

Birmingham, Aug 28 (Ians) England all-rounder Liam Livingstone has been ruled out of the remainder of The Hundred with an ankle injury, his franchise Birmingham Phoenix confirmed on Sunday.
Livingstone, who is one of the world’s most explosive limited-overs batters, joins England white-ball captain Jos Buttler in being forced to exit the tournament early. The 29-year-old, who sustained the injury following the Phoenix’s win over the Oval Invincibles, is currently being assessed by the Ecb medical team.
“We’re disappointed to lose Liam, not just for his performances on the pitch, but also his leadership within the group,” said Craig Flindall, Birmingham Phoenix General Manager in a statement.

Melbourne, Aug 24 (Ians) Former Australia wicketkeeper-batter Adam Gilchrist believes Afghanistan’s charismatic spinner Rashid Khan could start a bidding war among franchises when the Big Bash League (Bbl) Player Draft is held on August 28.
Leg-spinner Rashid Khan, one of the key players in Gujarat Titans’ Ipl 2022 title triumph, has spent the last five tournaments with the Adelaide Strikers and if reports emerging ahead of the Draft are any indication, the 23-year-old could be the subject of a bidding war between franchises.
The Melbourne Renegades hold the first pick in the Bbl-12 Draft.
