And which Test players were nicknamed “Big Dog” and “Little Dog”?

Steven Lynch07-Apr-2020Which Test captain was most often dismissed by his opposite number? Was it Sunil Gavaskar by Imran Khan? asked Gyanendra Singh from India

Sunil Gavaskar was dismissed five times by Imran Khan in Tests in which they were both captain. This equals the record for a pair: England’s Ted Dexter fell to Richie Benaud five times, all during the 1962-63 Ashes in Australia. Gavaskar was also dismissed twice by Bob Willis during India’s series in England in 1982, making a total of seven. But the leader in this regard is Clive Lloyd, who was dismissed by his opposite number on no fewer than nine occasions in Tests – four times by Kapil Dev, twice by Bishan Bedi and Tony Greig, and once by Ian Botham.Benaud dismissed his rival captain on a record 18 occasions; Imran is next with 15. Jason Holder leads the way for current players – so far he has disposed of his opposite number 13 times.Which Test players were nicknamed “Big Dog” and “Little Dog”? asked Denis Collinson from Australia

This was a famous pair of South African brothers – fast bowler Peter Pollock and the superb left-hand batsman Graeme Pollock. Peter, whose son Shaun Pollock also had a glittering Test career, explained the derivation of the names to the Gulf News a few years ago: “I was playing for Eastern Province, and was 17 years old. My voice hadn’t broken. I appealed, and it sounded like a dog barking. Atholl McKinnon named me! When my brother came along, I became Big Dog and he was the Little Dog.”A recent question here mentioned the West Indian Faoud Bacchus, whose 19 Tests all came on different grounds. I noticed that when he made his highest score of 250, he was out hit wicket – was this the highest Test score to end this way? asked Dennis Johnson from Barbados

West Indies’ Faoud Bacchus hit his own wicket after making 250 – his only Test century – against India in Kanpur in 1979-80. It’s actually the second-highest score to end this way: the Australian opener Bill Ponsford hit his own wicket after making 266 against England at The Oval in 1934, in what turned out to be his final Test. There have been 12 other Test scores of over 100 that ended with a hit-wicket dismissal, including another one by Ponsford, in his previous innings – 181 against England at Headingley in 1934.”Little Dog” Graeme Pollock and older brother Peter “Big Dog” Pollock played their last Test in 1970, their careers cut short by South Africa’s sporting isolation•Getty ImagesWho has scored most runs in one-day internationals as an opener? asked Rakesh Bhatia from India

Well clear here is a man who rarely opened in Tests, but adapted beautifully to the role in one-dayers: Sachin Tendulkar made 15,310 runs from the top of the order in ODIs. Sanath Jayasuriya comes next with 12,740, while Chris Gayle has 10,179. Adam Gilchrist and Sourav Ganguly also made more than 9000 runs while opening. For the full list, click here.In Tests, Alastair Cook leads the way with 11,845 runs as an opener, ahead of Sunil Gavaskar (9607) and Graeme Smith (9030). For that list, click here. Gavaskar scored the most centuries as an opener, with 33 to Cook’s 31.What’s the record for the most ducks in a Test? And an ODI? asked Billy Linklater from Ireland

If you mean the most ducks in an innings, the Test record is six, which has happened five times now, most recently when five New Zealanders failed to score against Pakistan in Dubai in 2018-19. The record for an ODI innings is also six, and has also happened five times, most recently by Pakistan v Sri Lanka in Colombo in June 2012.The record for both sides in a Test is 11 ducks, which has happened 12 times now. The most in a one-day international is eight, in the World Cup final between West Indies (three ducks) and England (five) at Lord’s in 1979.Use our

Rain had an effect in most of the other games on the first day, but Bangladesh, South Africa and Sri Lanka had time to win their respective openers

ESPNcricinfo staff18-Jan-2025Australia opened their Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup with a dominant nine-wicket win over Scotland in the Group D game in Bangi.Fast bowler Caoimhe Bray starred with figures of 3 for 1 in 3.2 overs, while left-arm quick Eleanor Larosa and left-arm wristspinner Hasrat Gill shared five wickets among them to help Australia skittle Scotland for a mere 48 in 15.1 overs. Australia chased down the target in 6.4 overs with opener Katy Pelle remaining unbeaten on 29 off 18 balls.In Kuching, rain played spoilsport with the match between Samoa and Nigeria abandoned without a single ball bowled. The Pakistan–USA fixture also ended similarly in Johor, with the match abandoned without a ball being bowled.Meanwhile, in the England vs Ireland match in Johor, England rode wicketkeeper-batter Jemima Spence’s 37 not out off 27 balls and Charlotte Lambert’s 14-ball 25 to post a competitive 144 for 7. Ireland were put under pressure when they lost two early wickets inside four overs, however, rain forced the game to end without a result.Rain had a say in the New Zealand vs South Africa game as well, but not enough to prevent a result. Asked to bat first in Kuching, South Africa scored 91 for 7 in the 11 overs they got, with the opening pair of Jemma Botha (32 in 24 balls) and Simone Lourens (21 in 14) and international wicketkeeper Karabo Meso (25 in 14) doing most of the scoring. New Zealand could only manage 69 for 5 in reply despite opener Emma McLeod’s 34 in 25.Bangladesh, meanwhile, bowled Nepal out for 52 in 18.2 overs after inserting them in Bangi, and then knocked off the runs in 13.2 overs.

After competing in phases through the first Test in Chennai, Bangladesh ultimately paid the price for their top-half collapsing in the first innings, according to captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. India beat the visitors by 280 runs with over five sessions to spare. Bangladesh were bowled out for 234 in their second innings, an improvement on their 149 all out in their first. They had slipped to 40 for 5 on the second afternoon, a phase of play that Shanto believes cost them the game.”We didn’t bat well in the first innings”, Shanto said. “It was a very important phase of the game. We could have been in a better position if we had at least one [big] top-order partnership. There will always be a challenge for the top order to do well, especially in the first innings. It is important to see how we are coping with it. We are working towards it but we are not getting the desired results.”The top order recovered slightly in the second attempt on the third day when openers Zakir Hasan and Shadman Islam added 62 runs, although in pursuit of a stiff 515.Related

“It is important to spend the time in the wicket but it wasn’t enough [today],” Shanto said. “Still, it will help for the second Test. It was very important for the openers to put on 62 runs. That’s one thing we can look forward to in the next Test match.”Shanto scored his first Test fifty in 11 innings and finished with 82 which included eight fours and three sixes. While that will encourage the visitors, he believes he could have done much better.”That’s usually how I bat in these type of conditions. I was clear with my plan. I think everyone has a different plan. I hope they (India) will plan differently in the next match,” he said.Unlike his nervous start in the first innings, Shanto adjusted to the pace of the game quite well in the second. He attacked R Ashwin as the rough outside his off stump was relatively benign on the third afternoon. He quickly reached his half-century too, off 55 balls, while others like Mominul Haque, Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan struggled to tackle the Indian bowling.Shanto’s scoring pattern in his Test career has been all or nothing. Out of his 57 innings, he has been dismissed 32 times between the scores of 0 and 19, and on 14 occasions in the twenties and thirties. He has also frequently converted fifties into centuries. Before this Test, every time crossed the seventies, he got to his century. His 82 in Chennai was the first time he got out in the eighties in a Test innings.1:25

India ‘stood out’ despite not playing on rank turner – Manjrekar

When Bangladesh resumed the fourth day on 158 for 4, Shanto found Mohammed Siraj tough to negotiate. He played out a couple of maiden overs, and only got Siraj away for a pulled four in the 46th over.”The morning session was tough today. The way Siraj was bowling. They were all bowling really well. Shakib also batted well. We tried to contribute for the team. We tried to bat as long as we could. Today’s morning session was one positive thing. We didn’t bat well after that,” Shanto said.When India captain Rohit Sharma brought on Ashwin, who had already taken three wickets on the third day, the stand between Shakib and Shanto was broken, which triggered the collapse of six wickets for 40 runs.”I think it was quite challenging to bat today. They were bowling in the rough. I don’t want to use it as an excuse. These are challenges we have to take,” said Shanto, who was the eighth wicket to fall but by then the writing was on the wall.Bangladesh’s openers had earlier bounced back with an encouraging effort on the third day. Similar to how they played in Rawalpindi in the second Test against Pakistan, both Zakir and Shadman offered a straighter bat to the ball, kept their cool in the initial exchanges and got off to a quick start. But just like it happened in Rawalpindi, both fell after building a solid platform.While Shanto said that he wants the openers to play their “natural game”, batting coach David Hemp said on the third day that the openers are still in the phase of working on their starts at the crease.”It goes without saying that you need to start well and once you have faced 20 or 30 balls, you get a bit of idea of what’s happening,” Hemp said. “You want to go on from that, especially when you scored 30 or 40 runs. You have done the hard work, so make sure you cash in. We did it in patches in Pakistan.”We will keep working on it in practice. We have to get ourselves in first, as that’s something we haven’t done well enough. If you go back to March [against Sri Lanka], we were not doing well enough. So we are doing that better now. But once you get to 40-60 balls, ideally you bat 120 balls. When you do that, you will walk away with a reasonable reward.”The openers’ mini-fightback and Shanto’s knock were the only two aspects of their batting that will give Bangladesh some confidence on their way to Kanpur. At the same time though, the top-half’s abject failure in the first innings will haunt them until they get it right. Several batters need to step up. Otherwise Bangladesh could be staring down the barrel again.

da apostaganha： Presente na entrevista coletiva após a goleada sofrida pelo Santos para o Fortaleza, o coordenador técnico Alexandre Gallo explicou a situação de Marcos Leonardo, que está fora dos treinos e jogos enquanto define futuro no clube.

da imperador bet： – Conversamos com o representante e o atleta e da nossa parte temos uma definição. Está definida a parte do Santos e esperamos contar com ele a partir de segunda-feira, nos treinamentos, de uma maneira efetiva. Porque se isso não acontecer, o Santos vai tomar as precauções. Nós temos um departamento jurídico bastante competente. Mas de maneira nenhuma queremos levar para esse lado – disse o representante do clube.

Diante da má situação do Peixe na tabela do Brasileirão, Alexandre Gallo afirmou que conta com o centroavante e declarou que a equipe não quer qualquer ruptura com o jovem jogador.

– Os valores colocados não atendem ao nosso presidente e ao Comitê Gestor. Nosso atleta tem que estar apto e pronto para nos ajudar. Esperamos colher somente coisas positivas. Conversei com ele e disse que nos últimos 30 anos não deixamos de vender nenhum jogador do Santos que seja protagonista do time. Hoje ele é um jogador da Seleção Brasileira. Eu sei o que passa na cabeça dele. Não queremos nenhum tipo de litígio, queremos o Marcos Leonardo em campo – concluiu o coordenador.

OUTRAS RESPOSTAS DE ALEXANDRE GALLO NA COLETIVA:

PRESENÇA NA COLETIVA

Esse é o posicionamento que a gente tem que ter quando rola alguma coisa que sai do natural. Como nosso treinador, eu estou há quase 72 horas no clube. Estarei aqui sempre que a coisa não estiver correta. A preocupação existe e ela é grande, mas isso não nos tira a vontade de lutar e seguir firme. Estamos seguindo um novo trabalho com uma comissão nova. A gente tem conversado muito sobre futebol. Após o primeiro gol, o time deu realmente uma apagada, mas tecnicamente é com o nosso treinador. Nós confiamos muito nele.

COMO PODE AJUDAR NESTE MOMENTO

Efetivamente eu passei muito mais situações difíceis que eles. Primeiro, o atleta precisa muito mais da cabeça do que das pernas. Identificamos que temos um elenco para não estar na zona de rebaixamento. Temos um elenco para brigar pelo título? Isso também não tem acontecido. Nós entendemos que hoje temos um elenco, hoje muito desfalcado, para estar em uma situação melhor. Precisamos cuidar mesmo da cabeça. Tivemos uma queda no psicológico da equipe. O time psicologicamente sentiu um pouquinho, nós não esperávamos. Isso faz parte do futebol e, da minha parte, minha função é mostrar para eles que, como a vida, amanhã podemos recomeçar muito melhor. Tem um turno pela frente para sairmos dessa situação.

ATUAÇÃO DO SANTOS NO MERCADO

Esse foi um dos fatores que atrasou entendermos tudo que está acontecendo. Qualquer palavra que eu te der aqui pode complicar a situação (da negociação), mas o time está no mercado. O Santos está no mercado e correndo muito para passar alguma novidade em breve.

Will West Bromwich Albion be promotion challengers again when the 2025/26 season gets underway in the Championship?

That’s the question likely wracking the brains of Baggies fans far and wide, with nobody quite sure how Ryan Mason will deal with the pressures of the Hawthorns hot-seat, considering experienced manager Tony Mowbray struggled back at the helm last campaign.

Mowbray, unfortunately, sank the West Brom ship instead of steadying it as a playoff spot slipped disastrously out of their grasp.

On the contrary, Mason will hope he can guide his new side to a top-six finish or even higher, with the sparkling potential addition of a seasoned Championship pro helping his chances as a rookie boss.

West Brom have former Championship star on their radar

As per a new report from TEAMTalk, West Brom have ex-Derby County star Tom Lawrence very much on their radar.

His free agent status after walking away from Rangers has alerted numerous clubs to his services, however, with both Wrexham and Coventry City named as other suitors eyeing up the 31-year-old.

The ambitious Red Dragons could well be in the driver’s seat over landing his signature, considering Lawrence does hail from Wrexham, but West Brom are said to still be keen even as Phil Parkinson’s men sniff around.

How Lawrence could be their next Wallace

If West Brom were to knock Wrexham off their pedestal and win his services, Mason could be about to land the Baggies’ next Jed Wallace, with the accomplished attacker arriving at the Hawthorns back in 2022 with plenty of EFL know-how to show off, much like Lawrence will be desperate to provide.

Wallace would also enter into his new environment all those years ago on a shrewd free transfer, with Millwall left to curse the 31-year-old running his contract down at the Den.

The Lions’ short-term agony ended up being West Brom’s gain, however, with an impressive tally of six goals and eight assists mustered up by Wallace during his debut league campaign in the West Midlands.

His output has since dwindled, with only two goal contributions coming his way across the entire course of last season, but there will be hope that Lawrence’s experience of the Championship, which is of the same stature as Wallace’s, means he can instantly hit the ground running with Albion if he signs.

After all, the free agent is only 82 appearances shy of Wallace’s hefty 346 appearances in the intimidating division, with his goal and assist numbers across those 264 clashes even closer to the esteemed Baggies’ captain’s bumper haul.

Much like Wallace, who had to wait to find his groove with Millwall, Lawrence really kicked into gear as a devastating Championship-level attacker with Derby County, as seen in him amassing 59 of his overall 90 goal contributions donning Rams white.

To add context, his equally experienced counterpart boasts 14 more goal contributions in total in the second-tier, with 76 of those coming about in South East London.

Hailed as an “excellent” professional by Rangers coach David McCallum, with a promising 12 strikes next to his name at Ibrox even as he enters the twilight years of his playing days, this could be a move that reawakens a beast out of Lawrence to cause Championship defences headaches all over again.

Arsenal fans have reacted with frustration to the news that the Gunners are pursuing Chelsea's Noni Madueke rather than more highly-rated wingers.

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Arsenal have made an opening bid of £50 million ($68m) for the 23-year-old, a fee which includes add-ons, but while Chelsea are open to negotiation, they believe the England international is worth more and are holding out for a higher fee. Meanwhile, some Gunners fans are baffled by the amount of money their club is willing to spend on a relatively unproven Premier League player, leading to the hashtag '#NoToMadueke' trending on social media.

  WHAT ARSENAL FANS ARE SAYING

  Writing on X, AfcGabeast said: "You have to ask yourself if Madueke was at Arsenal do u think we could sell him for 50m? yeah I thought so, that how insane this business is"

  EGTVEgal added: "Nobody wants or needs Noni Madueke at Arsenal stop. £50M for Madueke? Arsenal are shooting themselves in the foot. Sort out Eze or Rodrygo first"

  Criticising boss Mikel Arteta, clinicalkai asked how "£50m for Madueke can be easily completed yet £70m for Gyokeres of £60m for Eze somehow cannot".

  White_Yardie added: "I don’t believe all these transfer rumours but if Arsenal spend £55m on Madueke and don’t get Eze & Gyokeres then BERTA IS A FRAUD"

  Some fans saw it differently, with akarsenalnews writing: "If Madueke was coming from PSG, everyone would see it so differently. Madueke isn't the issue, the fact he's coming from Chelsea is."

• THE EXPLANATION

  Arsenal's summer search for a left winger has been well documented, with other rumoured options including Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers, Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon and Athletic’s Nico Williams. However, according to , the north Londoners believe all these players would cost more than Madueke, who they are aiming to acquire for roughly £50m. Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta is determined not to overspend on transfer fees or wages despite pressure from fans, and he still firmly believes that there are good players available for around £65m ($88m).

• GOAL
  

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Berta is still doing plenty behind the scenes to secure the number one priority for Arsenal this summer: an elite-level striker. The club's pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres has been clear to see, but Berta appeared to make genuine strides earlier this week by flying out to Lisbon to hammer out an agreement with Sporting CP.

England indebted to rookie as Sri Lanka’s bowlers probe away on rain-truncated day

Andrew Miller22-Aug-2024

Asitha Fernando ripped into England’s top-order after a morning rain delay•Getty Images

England 259 for 6 (Smith 72*) lead Sri Lanka 236 by 23 runsAsitha Fernando produced a compelling display of all-purpose seam and swing bowling, while Prabath Jayasuriya chipped in with two bewilderingly brilliant deliveries in an otherwise steady display of left-arm spin, as Sri Lanka fought gamely to stay in touch on a gloomy second day of the first Test at Emirates Old Trafford.By the close, England were indebted to their rookie keeper, Jamie Smith, who justified his promotion to No. 6 with a hard-earned 72 not out, his third half-century in five innings since taking over from his Surrey team-mate Ben Foakes at the start of the summer. Harry Brook added another fifty of his own as England recovered from a dicey 125 for 4 to close on 259 for 6, with a slender lead of 23 in the bank.As had been the case throughout the West Indies series earlier in the summer, the impression after two days of action is that England should yet close out this contest with some ease, but the quality and spirit of the visitors’ bowling has forced them to graft with rather more diligence than might have been the case in previous incarnations of the Bazball era. Asitha in particular was superb throughout his 14 overs, spread across three key spells, including an incisive mid-innings bout of reverse-swing that belied the dank conditions.After sweating under the covers for several hour during a rainy morning in Manchester, the Old Trafford pitch was ripe for seam bowling when play finally got underway at 1.15pm, and Asitha was primed to cash in. With his bustling approach and a commitment to a full length, he posed problems from the outset, under still-dense cloud cover and with the floodlights in full beam.His performance went into overdrive from the first ball of his second over, when Dan Lawrence was pinned on the pad and given out lbw by umpire Paul Reiffel. Although that decision was successfully overturned, with the ball shown to be skimming over the bails, the information was stored away and perfectly processed by the bowler.Two balls later, and now with Ben Duckett on strike, Asitha fired the ball in a good two feet fuller, and was this time the successful reviewee, with the ball shown to be both pitching on and hitting leg stump as Duckett was turned inside-out on his attempted flick across the line.And in his very next over, Asitha served up the piece de resistance of his new-ball spell, an exceptional wobble-seam delivery, pitching half a foot fuller than the Lawrence ball, and straightening off the pitch to smash into the top of Ollie Pope’s off stump. England’s captain was gone for 6, and at 40 for 2 in the ninth over, England had a bit of a rebuild to undertake.Root is no stranger to skinny top-order scorelines, of course, and as he bedded in for the long haul, it was Lawrence who initiated England’s counterattack, with a brace of forceful whips through the leg side as Asitha strayed in length. But, having scored just four of his 30 runs through the off side, his vulnerability in the channel was superbly exploited by Vishwa Fernando, who nicked him off after a change of ends, using the breeze from the James Anderson End to push a lifter across his bows from his left-arm angle.Jamie Smith gets on top of a pull•Getty Images

Despite the conditions, Sri Lanka were able to find some appreciable reverse-swing off a typically abrasive Old Trafford pitch, meaning that Root and Brook had to be on their mettle even as their 58-run stand clipped along at more than five an over. Milan Rathnayake, Sri Lanka’s first-day hero, was picked off for three fours in an over as he strained for that swinging full length, but it was Asitha’s return to the attack that would prise the most vital wicket of the day.Root had reached 42 from 56 balls in another understated display of touch and timing when he was undone in expert fashion, climbing into a wider line from Asitha while still playing for the inswing that had been the feature of his over to that point. This ball, however, held its line and skidded straight on, and Dinesh Chandimal scooped up the low edge to leave England wobbling at 125 for 4.Brook, however, kept the foot down in his familiarly forceful manner, driving with heavy timing whenever the ball was over-pitched, and working the gaps well, with Sri Lanka’s field still veering towards the defensive given England’s reputation for boundary-hunting. He duly rattled along to a 59-ball half-century, his 14th in just 25 Test innings, and if it was beginning to feel as though something special would be needed to dislodge him, then Jayasuriya obliged shortly after tea.Sri Lanka’s left-arm spinner had been diligent without being threatening for much of his day’s work, when out of the blue, he served up something unplayable: a perfectly pitched ripper that gripped and bounced on middle and leg to clip the top of off. Brook could only blink in astonishment – as, indeed, would Chris Woakes, some 18 overs later, when he fell in near-identical fashion, to almost the only other spinning delivery to deviate from the straight all day.Between those two moments, however, there was Smith, with the third fifty of his fledgling career, and unquestionably the hardest-earned yet. He was forced to graft against the swinging ball early in his innings, although one massive straight six off Jayasuriya signalled his refusal to be cowed, but it was the mid-point of his innings that displayed his savvy – in particular a relative grind through the 40s, after Rathnayake had induced two inside-edges in the space of three deliveries with his probing fourth-stump line outside the rookie’s eyeline.Woakes was the ideal ally for a defensively minded rebuild, as England – a batter light in Ben Stokes’ absence – focused on batting long, rather than rushing into a lead. Sri Lanka’s tactics arguably failed to adapt to the dominance that their bowlers were exerting in this period, although in reducing the pair to a run-rate of less than three an over in their 52-run stand, they succeeded in keeping themselves in the game.And when the light began to fail, only minutes after Woakes’ extraction, there was never any thought of Sri Lanka bowling spin in the gloom for the sake of filling out the overs, as had been England’s approach at the same stage on day one. Dhananjaya de Silva marched his players straight off for the pavilion, with six wickets in the bank, and the prospect of a night’s rest for his quicks before they continue their quest to stay in touch with a quietly engrossing contest.

The incident took place during the third over of the Nepal innings in their game against Bangladesh on June 16

Tanzim Hasan Sakib accepted the sanction, and so there was no need for a formal hearing•Getty Images

Bangladesh fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib has been fined 15% of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct after an altercation with Nepal captain Rohit Paudel during the teams’ meeting in Kingstown on June 16.The incident took place just after the end of the third over of Nepal’s innings, when Tanzim, after bowling a delivery, “walked towards Nepal batter Rohit Paudel in an aggressive manner and made inappropriate physical contact”, according to an ICC release.There were a few words exchanged between the two players followed by plenty of hand gesturing, with the on-field umpire Sam Nogajski having to separate the two. The umpires were also seen having a word with Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto after the incident.Tanzim was found to have breached Article 2.12 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “inappropriate physical contact with a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other person (including a spectator) during an International Match”.
