'The hundred doesn't matter if you don't win': Carlos Brathwaite admits first international century was 'bittersweet' as West Indies lose World Cup thriller to New Zealand By David Charlesworth, Press Association Sport Published: 02:29 EDT, 23 June 2019 | Updated: 02:29 EDT, 23 June 2019 Carlos Brathwaite admitted his maiden international hundred was a 'bittersweet' feeling after falling agonisingly short of leading the West Indies to an against-all-odds World Cup victory. The Windies slumped to 164 for seven against New Zealand in pursuit of a target of 292 at Old Trafford, but that merely set the stage for Brathwaite, who bludgeoned nine fours and five sixes in a staggering 80-ball hundred. However, with six needed for victory, Brathwaite swung mightily again, only to hole out to long-on, where Trent Boult held on to the catch and avoided stepping over the boundary as the Kiwis escaped with a five-run win.

Australia have a lot to do if they are to prove English thesis that success is in DNA | Geoff Lemon

This is a happier and better functioning team but to beat the best week after week at the World Cup will be difficult In England as the World Cup’s opening day finally pulls into view, there’s a very strong narrative about Australia “peaking at the right time”.

Australian minds don’t tend to disagree. Talking up Australia is understandable to a degree, given they beat England and swept aside Sri Lanka in two World Cup warm-ups, after winning their last eight one-day internationals on the trot. But flip the viewpoint and the warm-ups have raised more questions than provided answers.

Amir confessed to spot-fixing after Afridi slapped him, says Abdul Razzaq

Image
Muhammed Amir had confessed to spot-fixing only after then ODI skipper Shahid Afridi slapped the fast bowler while Salman Butt was involved in corruption much before Pakistan’s ill-fated tour of England in 2010, claimed former all-rounder Abdul Razzaq. Spilling the beans on the scandal which tarnished the image of Pakistan cricket, Razzaq narrated the Aamir incident while speaking to the GNN news channel. “He (Afridi) told me to leave the room but after a while I heard the sound of a slap and then Aamir told the whole truth,” Razzaq said. The all-rounder also blamed the then PCB set-up for bringing bad name to Pakistan cricket. “I thought instead of going to the ICC to prove its efficiency, the PCB should have instead directly taken the three players to task despite their denials and sent them back home on some pretext. They should have banned them for a year or so. In the end by not doing this, the PCB spoilt the image of Pakistan cricket worldwide.” Razzaq, 39, also claimed t...
