Australia's Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood and Lyon Create Test Cricket History

Australia's fabled fast-bowling quartet of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon etched their names into the history books during the first Test against South Africa at Kingsmead. The renowned bowling unit breached a special 600-wicket milestone with their scalps in the first innings against the Proteas. The four have become the first quartet to complete 600 wickets in Test cricket while playing together.

'Bumrah Can't Be The Answer': Gambhir, Gill Slammed Over Playing XI Decision

The decision to not include Kuldeep Yadav in the Indian cricket team playing XI for the first ODI encounter against England did not go down well with several experts. India went with four pace-bowling options - Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar and Shivam Dube - and two spinners in Axar Patel and Washington Sundar. While Brar and Krishna took early wickets to leave England struggling at six wickets down, Liam Dawson and Joe Root took advantage of the absence of a specialist spinner to stage a comeback. Former India fast bowler Varun Aaron criticised the decision taken by the team management and said that Bumrah cannot be asked to drag India out of trouble on every occasion.

"India has Kuldeep Yadav. Axar Patel is bowling arm balls into the batter and bowling all those sliders. You have to play around with your speeds and the seam position to get something out of the wicket," said Varun on commentary.

“The English batters are setting up to play Axar as an off-spinner. It is very obvious he is not going to turn the ball past the batter. How do you get wickets in the middle overs?Jasprit Bumrah cannot be your answer to all your problems,” he added.

Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar pointed out that India depend a lot of all-rounders under Gautam Gambhir's coaching and even pointed out in the past as well, the team has relied heavily on Bumrah to provide some magic.

“Well, Varun sometimes, he (Bumrah) is the answer to everything. Sometimes, the problem of having Bumrah is you always know and hope he's the one to get you those answers,” said Nayar.

Teams:

England: Jacob Bethell, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jofra Archer, Liam Dawson, Josh Tongue, Adil Rashid.

India: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Axar Patel, Gurnoor Brar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna.

Harvard Astrophysicist Says He Found Alien Tech From A Meteor: Report

A Harvard University astrophysicist claims to have made a significant advancement in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Professor Avi Loeb thinks he may have discovered pieces of alien technology from a meteor that crashed in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. According to CBS News , Loeb and his team just brought the materials back to Harvard for analysis. The U.S. Space Command can confirm with almost near certainty, 99.999%, that it came from another solar system. The government gave Loeb a 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) radius of where it may have landed. "That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defence. It's a very big area, the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down," said Loeb. "We figured the distance of the fireball based on the time delay between the arrival of the blast wave, the boom of the explosion, and the light that arrived quickly." According to USA Today, the fragments the team uncov...
