“The senior players need to take responsibility because they have played a lot of cricket in Galle,” Sri Lanka batting coach Thilina Kandamby had said ahead of the second Test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

Big picture: Another stern test awaits Bangladesh Bangladesh came into this series riding on the high of winning 2-0 in Pakistan. It peaked when they had India 144 for 6 in the first innings in Chennai. But then India once again showed why they are arguably the strongest home side in Test history and went
Developing as an all-formats, all-conditions bowler is a work in progress for Matthew Potts.

Toss Sri Lanka chose to bat vs New Zealand Sri Lanka won the toss again in Galle and unsurprisingly chose to bat again, which means New Zealand will bat last once again on what is expected to be another turner. Dhananjaya de Silva said the pitch looked “firmer than the last one with less grass”
Steven Croft, Lancashire’s veteran allrounder and stalwart of their 2011 Championship-winning side, has announced his retirement from professional cricket at the age of 39.

Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan on Wednesday revealed that he didn’t have the “inspiration” left to take the domestic cricket route for a place in the national side and that was the reason why he chose to retire from the game last month.

Shakib was at Bangladesh’s training session in Kanpur on Wednesday although his stint didn’t last too long. His performance was noticeably below par in the first Test in Chennai, where he did not bowl until the 53rd over of India’s first innings and was uncharacteristically expensive. While it was mentioned on the broadcast that Shakib
Will Jacks was in no doubt that Tuesday’s 84 at Chester-le-Street was his best batting display for England to date. Granted, it is not a particularly crowded field. There have only been four half-centuries across 31 international innings. And though one of those is a 94 against Ireland, it is no slight on them to

Queensland 128 for 5 (Renshaw 51, Hearne 35, Bell 2-12, Webster 2-27) Matt Renshaw‘s first half-century of a new summer was the only shining light on an otherwise gloomy day in Melbourne as Queensland and Tasmania shared the One-Day Cup points on offer after rain and bad light meant only 16 overs were possible.
