He has made his comeback to the Bangladesh Test team as a bowler who is by trade a batsman, but hasn’t yet made his mark in either

Mohammad Isam in Mirpur08-May-2015Shuvagata Hom would like to forget the third day’s play of the Dhaka Test. He moved late to a Wahab Riaz delivery outside off-stump, resulting in a golden duck. Two catches went past his diving left hand at gully. He did hold on to a dolly and took a wicket with a long-hop, but you could see that he was feeling the pinch. When he came on to bowl late in Pakistan’s second innings, Shuvagata looked weary, and rather reluctantly accepted a short leg and a slip from captain Mushfiqur. Misbah-ul-Haq reversed him for a boundary soon after.The tame dismissal coupled with his insipid bowling, his international performance so far, and his overall role in the Bangladesh team, particularly in the two Tests against Pakistan, would make the fourth day of the Dhaka Test a make-or-break innings for him. Shakib Al Hasan, who was at the other end when Shuvagata was dismissed within the first 4.2 overs of the third morning, said that he should support the top and middle-order batsmen when he goes to bat at No 8, but added that it wasn’t an easy position to bat in.”It is a difficult situation to bat but this is a big opportunity for him (Shuvagata),” Shakib said. “Things would have been different if Shahadat wasn’t injured. [Jubair Hossain] Likhon too was injured just before the game, so may be that affected the team selection. I think we were unfortunate with the injuries and the catches taken off no-balls.”Of course it is possible to make a contribution. Why wouldn’t it be? If he has a recognized batsman at the other end, he can put together a substantial partnership. Bangladeshi batsmen have scored 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s at No 7 and 8 in the past. Since he is a specialist batsman, he can bat with the tail-ender. There is chance to contribute, but it is not easy.”A bad day can be forgiven and forgotten, so too a bad Test series. A player doing ordinarily in his first six Tests can be largely ignored. He can be a slow starter. But the issue with Shuvagata in this Bangladesh Test team is his specific role. In his second coming as an international cricketer, Shuvagata was picked for the two-match Test series against West Indies last August as an allrounder who was required to bowl a lot of overs since Shakib was serving the BCB ban and Sohag Gazi had his action reported and returned home.In the preceding season, 2013-14, Shuvagata averaged 38 with the bat and picked up 21 wickets. Among allrounders who had taken a minimum of ten wickets and scored at least 300 runs in the domestic first-class competitions, Shuvagata was the third highest wicket-taker and fourth highest scorer. A specialist batsman who can bowl a bit but he effectively replaced Sohag Gazi, the specialist offspinner who could bat a bit. Try working that one out.He featured in the Zimbabwe series for nearly the same reason but wasn’t asked to bowl in the first Test. He scored just one half-century and took just four wickets in the series. When he was picked for the Pakistan Tests, the chief selector Faruque Ahmed explained that they wanted to pick players from the previous Test Bangladesh had played to have some consistency and continuation in the team. So far, that hasn’t worked out well.A lot of questions have been raised with Jubair Hossain not being picked ahead of him in Khulna and Bangladesh not opting for Abul Hasan in his place when they knew the wicket would assist pace bowlers. Whether his role was a negative one is certainly up for debate, but his job description of being a part allrounder evidently fits the plan of the captain Mushfiqur and coach Chandika Hathurusingha.What adds to the confusion is his first stint as an international cricketer. Shuvagata was picked for the ODI series against Zimbabwe in 2011 as a specialist batsman after having averaged 61.26 in ten first-class matches with three hundreds and six fifties since his first-class debut in 2010. He looked like a confident player but couldn’t get past the thirties in the four ODIs. He was sent to the scrapheap.A further look back into Shuvagata’s career perplexes you even more. He spent the first few years of his domestic club cricket career as a medium-pacer. Only when he joined the National Cricket Academy did he suddenly change tact and transform himself into a stump-to-stump offspinner. He is a loyal cricketer too helping his first club, Cricket Coaching School, get promoted to the Dhaka First Division Cricket League (second tier in the Dhaka league system) from the Second Division in 2005-06.He helped them stay afloat in the first division despite the team being in the relegation zone in the 2006-07 season. The following season, 2007-08, his runs helped them earn promotion to the Dhaka Premier League (the top tier of the Dhaka league system) and despite big monetary offers, he stuck with them for two more seasons.No Bangladesh cricketer, especially in the last ten years, has been with a single club for too long and neither has one made it to the senior side as a batsman first, been dropped and then got picked for his bowling skills. There’s something about Shuvagata, that only the Bangladesh team management and selectors have seen so far. Saturday could be the day that everyone else does too.

David Warner and Michael Clarke produced arguably two of their finest knocks to lift Australia into a commanding position in Cape Town

Daniel Brettig in Cape Town01-Mar-2014When pondering how David Warner might respond to a raft of South African sledging expected to come his way in this match due to his howled down allegation of ball tampering, Michael Clarke offered his opening batsman the inelegant but appropriate sobriquet of “tough bugger”.On the critically important opening day of the Newlands Test, Warner lived up to Clarke’s choice of words with arguably his finest Test hundred, but no more so than the captain himself, who carved out an innings of enormous courage and presence.There had been many reasons entering into this match for both Warner and Clarke to be distracted, even agitated. Warner had earned the rebukes of teammates, opponents and officials alike for his broadcast suggestion of sharp practice on the part of AB de Villiers.It was certainly provocative and formally deemed disrespectful, drawing an ICC sanction and the sorts of headlines that have followed his career a little too often. The South Africans had plenty of reason to pour on the vitriol once Warner strode to the wicket.Clarke’s problems were of a different and deeper nature. In order to overcome his immediate difficulty – a lack of runs over his past 11 innings – Clarke had to surmount a longer term foible, namely the spectre of short-pitched bowling and its capacity to expose the lack of flexibility in his back.The man to deliver such bowling was Morne Morkel, a man with no rival as the fastest and tallest exponent of the bouncer in world cricket. Add to this the chance to defeat top-ranked South Africa at home, and the occasion weighed heavily.Fortunately for Clarke and Warner, the captain performed ably in his first duty of the day, winning one of the more important tosses of his life. Centurion and Port Elizabeth had well and truly established Australia’s preference for making the running by batting first, particularly on a pitch not given to early life. Taking first strike in Cape Town on another late-season surface promising little in the way of sideways movement allowed the fast-scoring method preached by the coach Darren Lehmann to place pressure on South Africa, even as they carried plenty of momentum from St George’s Park.Irrespective of the prevailing conditions, the runs still had to be scored, and in the early overs Warner once again too the initiative from the hosts with some help from Chris Rogers. They raised a half-century stand inside 10 overs, prompting Graeme Smith to disperse his catching men and post sweepers to the boundary in search of greater control over the scoring rate. To some degree he achieved this, but he also allowed Warner the room to feel more or less impervious to dismissal, given so many options for turning over the strike.Across the series, Warner has repeatedly forced Smith’s fielders back, to the point that his latter phases of centuries at Centurion and Newlands have been played out in the manner of mid-innings ODI batting. Very little onus has been placed on Warner to split the field or avoid the clutches of slips or gully, allowing him to throttle back into a gear of comfort while still scoring rapidly. Ten boundaries in Warner’s century were the minimum to be expected from a powerful opener on a fast outfield, but a strike rate of near enough to a run-a-ball showed how Warner had hemmed in Smith, rather than the other way round.”He puts pressure on the opposition so quickly,” Shane Warne said of Warner. “Duminy was bowling in the 10th over so very early you’ve got a part-time spinner bowling. It just puts pressure on the opposition captain by how fast he scores and the way he scores. I saw maturity in his batting when Graeme Smith had point back and he got a couple of singles, Smith brought point up and he hit two fours past him. It wasn’t like he was just about smashing the ball, he was quite clever about it.”One of the hardest things as a bowler is if you go through all your plans and say ‘we’ve just got to stop this guy scoring for a while’ and when he manipulates the field it is a really tough spot to be in as captain. Someone like a Darren Lehmann when you used to bowl against him he’d manipulate the field very well. Smithy ended up just being defensive about stopping runs, then Davey can just knock it around. He can do that to a captain because he’s such a good player.”If Warner was in command of his game, then Clarke was on bended knee beseeching his to comply with his fervent wishes for a score. His early play was scratchy, and when Morkel chose to go around the wicket, Clarke found himself with no escape. Not limber enough to duck or sway easily, nor swivel to hook in the manner of Ian Chappell, Clarke was instead battered after the fashion of Steve Waugh. Neck, jaw, body and fingers all took fearsome blows, the icepacks piling high in Australia’s dressing room to greet Clarke whenever he returned.But Morkel was unable to follow up these raining blows by coaxing an outside edge or a miscue, Clarke’s determination underlined by the perfunctory wave he offered the physio Alex Kountouris and doctor Peter Brukner when they jogged onto the field at the end of the over when Morkel felled him. Warne called it batting in the “over my dead body” category, and there was scarcely a better way to describe it. Clarke stood firm, untroubled by how ugly he looked, and with Dale Steyn absent due to a hamstring complaint he was able to endure.By stumps Clarke was on the outskirts of a century to rank with any in his career, his unbeaten status a fitting capstone on one of the best Australian first innings, first day performances of Ricky Ponting’s prime period. Every partnership had been worth at least 50, meaning even the likes of Rogers and Alex Doolan had played some part. But it was Clarke and Warner who deserved the chief plaudits, two “tough buggers” setting aside their earlier travails to set Australia on the path towards the sort of victory that would echo down the years.

Build-ups to Ranji Trophy matches can be pretty lukewarm, but thanks to a certain presence Wankhede Stadium has a different story to tell

Siddhartha Talya in Mumbai01-Nov-2012There was plenty of anticipation at the Wankhede Stadium on the eve of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy opener against Railways. As early as 8.15am, a small crowd had gathered outside the main entrance to the ground, hoping for a glimpse of their favourite star, the hometown boy, playing for his domestic side after three years. A vehicle passed through the Polly Umrigar Gate, with a short, stout, fair, chubby man wearing a hat seated on the back, bearing, at least from a distance, a slight resemblance to the most famous face of Indian sport. Unfortunately for the small gathering, who had already given up hope seeing that the vehicle was a Fiat taxi, it was Railways coach Abhay Sharma who paid the fare, stepped out and made his way into the ground.Sachin Tendulkar did come, but didn’t bat or practise at the nets. He was being treated for a stomach bug, but was fully expected to take the field on the opening day of the Ranji Trophy. He didn’t miss too much on the eve of the game: the warm-up on the day was relatively light, the drills not rigorous and Tendulkar’s own preparation had happened in the days before.Ahead of a major series against England, India’s Test stars are returning to their respective domestic sides. If those expectant eyes outside the entrance are anything to go by, the Ranji Trophy has been provided that early fillip it needs in its new avatar.Tendulkar’s three dismissals in almost identical fashion – all bowled – during the home Tests against New Zealand have ignited concerns over technique and the impact his age is having on his batting. But back playing for Mumbai, and gearing up for the England Tests, his training for the road ahead shows a determination to bounce back. “He comes around 8am here, does his own fitness training and then joins the team,” Mumbai coach Sulakshan Kulkarni said. “The way he is playing in the nets, he is very serious. He was batting everyday in the nets, 45 minutes to an hour, non-stop. His feet movement was going very well and I don’t remember any other player, maybe Rahul Dravid, go without a single ball break.”It is an achievement, to play five bowlers at a stretch for one hour – in 20 minutes you get 100 balls. That means around 300 balls in an hour, so you have to concentrate hard in the nets.”There were those who had a chance to share the field with Tendulkar for the first time and bowl at him in the nets while not being part of the immediate squad: guest bowlers, net bowlers, some of whom are not even part of the Mumbai probables or the Under-19 side. One of them, a left-arm spinner, has been getting special attention, and advice, from Tendulkar.However, his team-mates, some of whom have shared the dressing room with him during the IPL if not in first-class cricket, have learned to resist being overawed by his presence. “I remember, around 20 years back, Dilip Vengsarkar and Sunil Gavaskar said to youngsters in the dressing room: don’t expect sympathy, don’t give sympathy,” Kulkarni added.Zaheer Khan will also play for Mumbai – who are looking at an attack of three seamers and two specialist spinners – but did not turn up on the eve of the game. It’s not something unusual for Zaheer, who’s known to go easy on the final day of preparation.The return of two senior Test players went beyond boosting the profile of the tournament and giving youngsters an opportunity to rub shoulders with the best. “Not only will they try to get back into their rhythm for the sterner Tests ahead, but it also gives them insight into what is happening at the ground level,” said Sanjay Bangar, the Railways captain. “They can also probably evaluate whether the standards of the Ranji Trophy have gone up or down. This is also a chance for them to look at the talent available.”If they play a couple of more games they will get a wider audience, but even we can’t really complain because they are playing against us and all our boys are wanting to do well against the genius.”The last time Tendulkar played in the opening game of Mumbai’s Ranji Trophy campaign was in 1998-99. Times were different then, schedules less cramped, challenges for the tournament to stay relevant for players not as serious as today. The contest against Railways may well be preparation for the England series, but his own approach to this match reinforces the significance of what first-class cricket means to those who wish for success in the toughest format.Starting November 2, watch out for the Ranji Trophy Live blog on match days

Never at any point did Pakistan believe they could win this Test and for that alone they deserved the sorry fate that befell them at the SCG

Osman Samiuddin at the SCG06-Jan-2010Pakistan’s grip on this Test was going the minute they took a 206-run lead in the first innings. This morning, with Australia effectively 80 for 8 they knew they had lost it. Hollywood rehab clinics have fewer mental frailties than this side.Like in Melbourne last week, never at any point did Pakistan believe they could win this Test and for that alone they deserved the sorry fate that befell them at the SCG. Publicly Australia spoke yesterday as if they could win this. Pakistan, publicly and privately, only wished they could win this.The morning session was bizarre and instructive, possibly the worst session of leadership of a side in such a dominant position. Sides giving up 200-plus leads in Tests had only won five times ever after all. But Mohammad Yousuf thought Michael Hussey was Bradman and Peter Siddle that Bradman of tailenders, Jason Gillespie, and that Australia were 700 for 3. Effectively they were 80 for 8, Hussey had been dropped thrice and Pakistan began with eight men on the boundary. A more winning lost cause is difficult to conjure.Yousuf has surprised people with his leadership here, but today was the worst of him; defensive, unimaginative, sluggish and unwilling to take risk. Inzamam-ul-Haq’s beard is there and maybe the worst of his captaincy spirit was also floating around. From there, whatever the chase, the writing was being written on the wall.And then nothing matters in these chases for Pakistan; people talk of flat pitches, overhead conditions, surviving the new ball and playing out the old. But the only thing that matters is that it’s them. They could be chasing 90 on cement, with a tennis ball and in 45 degrees heat, but this batting line-up will find a way to get out for less. Who the opponent was didn’t really matter. They were called Panickstan here once, long ago. A regurgitation is in order.Three times this year they have done it – in Sri Lanka, in New Zealand and now. This will hurt the most because it isn’t every day that you dominate Australia, any Australia side, for three days and lose on the last. Australia, any Australia side, still know how to win and more importantly they know how not to throw matches away. Their players are brought up doing it. Peter Siddle’s innings is shining testament to that ethic. Pakistan’s tail presents a sorry contrast. Pakistan know simply how to play well every now and again, not to win, or avoid losing. That might never come and if it does it will take time.The Test was lost at many other stages and that is the wretchedness of Pakistan’s cricket that they could’ve won it still. They should’ve shut out Australia with their first innings, instead batting like lemons and not posting an insurmountable lead. Yousuf keeps talking about how much Twenty20 cricket is destroying Pakistan’s batsmen and with the kind of batting seen here – not least his own dismissals – it is a persuasive argument.Kamran Akmal dropped the Test four times himself through the second innings. He has been better this last year but he should’ve been dropped a few years ago; if he keeps getting selected, there is every chance now and again this may happen. His batting was crucial in New Zealand, but it’s been ill-judged here. Misbah-ul-Haq, Faisal Iqbal – should they really be in this line-up?And yet still it boggles the mind. It will do for many days. Knowing all this, feeling all along that they may lose this, to see it play itself out as it did is deeply affecting. To such an implosion, from such a position, can break you. Who knows what living it can do. Still the question: how have they lost it? Everyone knows but nobody understands, least of all the side itself.

Titans have five Tamil Nadu players – Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, Vijay Shankar, Shahrukh Khan and Sandeep Warrier – but CSK have none

Match details

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Gujarat Titans (GT)
Chennai, 1930 IST (1400 GMT)

Big picture: Gaikwad vs Gill

When Chennai Super Kings ran into Gujarat Titans in a bizarre three-day rain-hit final in IPL 2023, MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya were in charge of the teams, respectively. Shubman Gill took over Titans’ captaincy after Hardik had moved back to Mumbai Indians in what is arguably the biggest player trade in IPL history.Then, on the eve of the IPL season-opener, Ruturaj Gaikwad was announced as CSK’s new captain. Gill’s expression at the captains’ conference was roughly how most of Chennai reacted to Dhoni handing over the captaincy to Gaikwad. Gill and Gaikwad, the most inexperienced Indian captains in the IPL, will now face each other at Chepauk on Tuesday.Gill and Gaikwad have already grabbed the headlines with their captaincy. After Titans snatched victory from Mumbai Indians’ grasp in Ahmedabad on Sunday, their debutant Spencer Johnson talked up Gill’s leadership, saying the captain sat alongside him on the bus to help calm his nerves in the lead-up to the game. As for Gaikwad, he rifled through fielding changes in his first game as IPL captain, and one such change, which involved extra-cover moving to sweeper cover, brought CSK their first wicket.Related

The other interesting subplot in this game is the Chennai boys vs Chennai Super Kings. Titans have as many as five Tamil Nadu players in their side – Sai Sudharsan, Sai Kishore, Vijay Shankar, Shahrukh Khan and Sandeep Warrier. Among the quintet, Sudharsan, Kishore and Vijay are set to slot into Titans’ XI or XII (accounting for the Impact Player). Sudharsan, Kishore and Vijay all have been part of CSK or Junior Super Kings, their grassroots programme. And back in the day, Shahrukh used to be a ball boy at Chepauk for IPL matches. In contrast, CSK don’t have a single local player in their main squad.At his pre-match press conference, CSK coach Stephen Fleming was even asked if this would be a “home game” for Titans. “A few of the players will be at home in terms of conditions,” Fleming responded. “But yeah, it’s hard to say.”Sai Sudharsan should start if Gujarat Titans bat first•BCCI

Team news: Pathirana links up with CSK

Sri Lanka’s death-bowling specialist Matheesha Pathirana has joined CSK’s squad in Chennai, but it remains to be seen if he will be rushed into action after having suffered a hamstring injury. Mustafizur Rahman, who marked his CSK debut with four wickets in a space of ten balls in the season-opener, could keep his place in the team ahead of Pathirana.

Toss and Impact Player strategy

If CSK bat first, Shivam Dube should start, with Mustafizur coming in as an Impact Player in the second innings. It could be vice-versa if CSK bowl first.Chennai Super Kings
Possible bat-first XI: 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), 2 Rachin Ravindra, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Daryl Mitchell, , 6 Ravindra Jadeja, 7 Sameer Rizvi, 8 MS Dhoni (wk), 9 Deepak Chahar, 10 Maheesh Theekshana, 11 Tushar DeshpandePossible bowl-first XI: 1 Ruturaj Gaikwad (capt), 2 Rachin Ravindra, 3 Ajinkya Rahane, 4 Daryl Mitchell, 5 Ravindra Jadeja, 6 Sameer Rizvi, 7 MS Dhoni (wk), 8 Deepak Chahar, 9 Maheesh Theekshana, 10 Tushar Deshpande, Gujarat Titans
Having won their first match of the season, Titans might persist with the same XI and Impact Player strategy. Sudharsan should start if they bat first, and could be replaced by Mohit Sharma or one of the bowlers. And it could be vice-versa if Titans bowl first.Possible bat-first XI: 1 Shubman Gill (capt), 2 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), , 4 Azmatullah Omarzai, 5 Vijay Shankar, 6 David Miller, 7 Rahul Tewatia, 8 Rashid Khan, 9 Umesh Yadav, 10 R Sai Kishore, 11 Spencer JohnsonPossible bowl-first XI: 1 Shubman Gill (capt), 2 Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 3 Azmatullah Omarzai, 4 Vijay Shankar, 5 David Miller, 6 Rahul Tewatia, 7 Rashid Khan, 8 Umesh Yadav, 9 R Sai Kishore, 10 Spencer Johnson, MS Dhoni has hit Umesh Yadav for 68 runs off 38 balls in seven IPL innings•BCCI

Stats that matter

• Gaikwad has a strong head-to-head record against Rashid Khan in the IPL: 95 runs off 60 balls in seven innings at an average of 47.5, and a strike rate of 158.3. Only Sanju Samson (111) has scored more runs than Gaikwad against Rashid in the IPL.
• Ajinkya Rahane’s first-ten balls strike-rate since the start of IPL 2023 is 158.3. In comparison, his first-ten balls strike-rate between 2018 and 2020 was just 85.1.
• Dhoni has hit Umesh Yadav for 68 runs off 38 balls in seven IPL innings with just one dismissal at a strike-rate of nearly 180.
• Since IPL 2023, Titans’ seamers have taken 25 wickets in the powerplay at an economy rate of 8.35. No other team has picked up more wickets in the first six overs during this period. Azmatullah Omarzai, a genuine swing bowler from Afghanistan, has strengthened Titans even further in this area.

Pitch and conditions

The Chepauk pitch that was used on Friday was an atypical one, with not much turn on offer for the spinners. Instead, the ball slid on to the bat nicely, especially in the early exchanges. Believe it or not, CSK’s spinners didn’t take a single wicket in the season-opener. It was only the second instance of CSK’s spinners going wicketless at Chepauk since May 2015.”If you’ve noticed my comments over the last couple of seasons, we’ve been guessing a little bit about the wicket as well,” Fleming said. “But it looks pretty good [today].”

The 33-year old Punjab allrounder played three ODIs for India in 2016

Gurkeerat Singh Mann, the 33-year old Punjab allrounder, has announced his retirement from international and Indian cricket. He played three ODIs for India in 2016 and was an IPL champion with Gujarat Titans six years later.Gurkeerat’s talents as an offspinner and a quick-scoring batter were first noticed in 2011, when he was part of the Punjab Under-22 side that won the CK Nayudu Trophy. Steady performances from there on took him towards an India call-up. By 2015, he was making the ‘A’ team and played a crucial part in winning a tri-series final against Australia A. Gurkeerat took that form and confidence into that season’s Ranji Trophy and when he scored a double-hundred and followed that up with a nine-wicket haul, his step up was complete.Gurkeerat was picked in India’s Test squad for the home series against South Africa in November – but he did not play – and at the start of 2016, he toured Australia with India’s limited-overs squad and made his ODI debut in Melbourne.
