Bull on parade: Inside the rise of David Warner

Agar resigned to Zampa return despite record economy

After contracting COVID-19 ahead of the Aussies' clash with Sri Lanka, Zampa was not risked for their rousing win at Perth Stadium on Tuesday evening as Agar filled in ably for the star leg-spinner. "I assume Zamps will pull up well," Agar said of his fellow spinner who will return to Melbourne on the same flight as his teammates on Wednesday. Agar's supreme run-saving record, particularly at home, meant Australia were able to field a replacement that was hardly a massive downgrade on Zampa, their lead spinner who was the best bowler at last year's World Cup in the UAE. Agar was playing his first game back since recovering from the second of two side strains he has suffered in a frustrating year. "It is hard, definitely," Agar, who admitted he had cramped up with nerves ahead of his comeback game, said of being in and out of the team.

England duo out as India make big keeper call

England have been forced to make two changes for the World Cup semi-final against India, with injured duo Dawid Malan and Mark Wood replaced by Phil Salt and Chris Jordan as their skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bowl against India. Rohit said India had then opted to stick with the same starting XI from that Zimbabwe game to "keep the dynamism of the team". Buttler also made it clear his team was quite happy to spoil the promoters' party that would surely arise from a World Cup final between neighbours and arch-rivals India and Pakistan at the MCG on Sunday. "We certainly don't want to see an India-Pakistan final," Buttler said yesterday, before Pakistan qualified for Sunday's decider.

'Hard to police': Debate rages over contentious roof rule

Epic Melbourne derby sees Stars hit the roof... twice! The contentious Marvel Stadium hit-the-roof-and-get-six-runs rule is back in the spotlight after the Renegades were cruelly robbed of two catching opportunities in a tense Melbourne derby on Saturday night. But regardless of the rule, Finch said cricket matches at Marvel Stadium were better with the roof closed. Waugh said there was no way a ball hitting the roof should be an automatic six runs. Maxi's Moments:Hussey hits the roof in 2005"At the minimum, it should be a dead ball.

Aussie coach reflects on 'failed' Cup campaign

"For this World Cup, we felt those three bowlers – Mitch Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood – were the best suited to be part of the squad to navigate through the World Cup," McDonald said. "You saw Cameron Green go up the top of the order and that played out at the end of the World Cup. "The short turnaround (from last year's World Cup) lent itself to a similar squad," McDonald said. "But we'll go through what that looks like in terms of building towards the World Cup in 2024. "It's still a little bit raw on the back of a World Cup, but he's got some time to think about that.

Pakistan will bat first in the second Commbank T20I after winning the toss at Blundstone Arena, with Beth Mooney named alongside Meg Lanning at the top of an unchanged Australian XI after being passed fit to play.
