'Playing With Us Jhulu Di': India, Jhulan Goswami Aim For England ODI Whitwash
Jhulan Goswami hopes India sweeps the ODI series 3-0 against England. Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues shared memories with her ahead of the second ODI.
Ahead of the second ODI against England at Lord's, veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami wants the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to sweep the 50-over series 3-0 after winning the opening encounter by four wickets in Southampton.
The visiting side has already proved their potential by winning their first-ever T20I series against England by 4-2 last week.
Ahead of their second ODI, Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues had a video call with the former pacer from the Lord's and shared their memories of playing together at the venue.
'So good to see you again. Guess where we are," Harmanpreet and Jemimah said in unison in a video posted by BCCI Women on X.
'We miss you Jhulu di," Jemimah said.
'Same here, I'm also missing you guys, I wish I was there watching this game from the stands," Jhulan replied.
Jemimah quickly responded, 'Not watching but playing with us, Jhulu di" to which all of them shared a laugh.
Continuing the conversation, India captain said, 'We will miss your Lord's spell tomorrow."
'I'm gonna miss you guys. It was a great memory. We won 3-0 for the first time in England. I hope you guys do that same. Repeat that same. You've got great momentum on your side," Jhulan said.
Goswami, regarded as one of India's finest fast bowlers, brought the curtain down on her illustrious career at Lord's in September 2022, taking two wickets in a victorious ODI against England to sweep the series 3-0 for the first time on English soil.
With the momentum on India's side following their historic T20I series win and win in the opening ODI, the hopes of repeating 2022 heroics are very much achievable for the touring team.
The second ODI is set to be played at Lord's on Saturday.

Shastri tears into Indian bowling unit for 'rubbish' display, expects 'harsh words' from Gambhir and Morkel after Day 2
Former India all-rounder and head coach Ravi Shastri did not mince words while reacting to the visitors' sub-par bowling performance that allowed England to seize control on Day 2 of the fourth Test in Manchester. read more Ravi Shastri expected a stern response from India head coach Gautam Gambhir after his team's poor bowling performance on Day 2 of the fourth Test against England in Manchester. PTI/AP Ravi Shastri blasted the Indian bowling unit for their 'rubbish display' on Thursday that allowed England to seize control on Day 2 of the fourth Test at the Old Trafford in Manchester. The Cricketer-turned-commentator also expected head coach Gautam Gambhir as well as bowling coach Morne Morkel to have some 'harsh words' with the bowlers after the day's play, which saw the after bowling India out for 358. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Just not consistent will look back at this session and see, especially some of the boundary deliveries, that it's pretty ordinary stuff, at times rubbish,' Shastri said on air, referring to the afternoon session in which they were smashed for 77 runs in 14 overs by English openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett. Wouldn't hold back if I still were coach, says Shastri Shastri added that he would react in a similar manner, perhaps 'in better terms' if he still was the head coach. 'Absolutely, maybe in better terms. Maybe get the local lingo in there, which can sound harsher. Some harsh words will be exchanged by the coach and the bowling coach,' he added. Crawley (84) and Duckett (94) would go on to bring up their half-centuries and add 166 for the opening wicket – the second-highest in the ongoing series after their 188-run stand at Headingley that laid the foundation for their successful chase of 371. It wasn't until Ravindra Jadeja got rid of Crawley right after the drinks interval in the evening session that the opening partnership was finally broken. Debutant Anshul Kamboj would grab his maiden international wicket shortly after by having Duckett caught-behind, denying the southpaw a century. Despite losing a couple of wickets towards the end of the day's play, England remained firmly in control and are poised to collect a sizeable first innings lead on the 'Moving Day'. Though Jadeja (1/37) and Kamboj (1/48) were the only Indians to take a wicket on Day 2, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah (13-4-37-0) stood out once again with his economy of 2.84 – the only Indian with an economy under 4. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Senior pacer Mohammed Siraj finished wicketless for 58 runs in 10 overs while all-rounder Shardul Thakur, who returned to the XI for the first time since the series opener at Headingley, was hit for 35 runs in five wicketless overs at an economy of 7.

Soccer-Liverpool spending backed by title win and long-term plan, says CEO
July 24 (Reuters) - Liverpool's big-money investment on transfers is the result of long-term planning, club CEO Billy Hogan said, adding that winning a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title convinced the club it was time to act like a modern powerhouse. HT Image Liverpool's latest acquisition, French striker Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a deal worth 79 million pounds ($106.84 million), including add-ons, has taken the club's transfer expenditure this window to nearly 300 million pounds. Outgoings, six players including Trent Alexander-Arnold, have so far generated around 64 million pounds. The outlay marks a sharp departure from Liverpool's traditionally measured approach in the market. However, Hogan insists the club has not deviated from the club's policy of financial sustainability. "It doesn't just happen; it's been years in the making," Hogan told The Athletic in an interview. "One of the things we're constantly focused on is that 'virtuous circle'. Trying to run the club in the right way to ensure that we can generate as much revenue as we possibly can. That obviously helps in terms of being able to put more back into the team. "The difficulty is if you just look at one individual summer. That probably skews the data. There were a lot of comments made last summer that we didn't spend enough..." Hogan explained the approach reflects the ambitions of American-led Fenway Sports Group (FSG), who are seeking to build on last season's Premier League title under manager Arne Slot. "We also recognise, having won the English league title for the 20th time, that this is one of the biggest clubs in the world. We want to make sure that we are behaving like one," he added. "Having massive global stars come and play at Anfield, filling out stadiums in Hong Kong and Japan, those are things we expect and want to do." Liverpool face AC Milan in Kowloon, Hong Kong on Saturday, before taking on Yokohama FM in the J League World Challenge in Yokohama on Wednesday. They begin their Premier League title defence at home against Bournemouth on August 15. ($1 = 0.7394 pounds) (Reporting by Shifa Jahan in Bengaluru)

A lot to learn for debutant Kamboj as he opens bowling alongside Bumrah
However, what surprised everyone was the decision to hand the new ball to Kamboj. Bowling his first over in international cricket, Kamboj was smashed for boundaries thrice by Duckett. He continued for the next two overs giving away 17 runs from his first three overs. He was soon replaced by Siraj in the eighth over but returned soon replacing Bumrah, who by then had bowled five overs giving away 22 runs, in the 11th over. But only after two overs, Thakur replaced him. Notably, Kamboj is a kind of hit-the-deck bowler who tries to extract extra bounce off the pitch that in turn makes the ball rise sharply on to the batter. With overcast conditions and the surface offering some assistance, India needed him to seam the bowl around but he erred in line and lengths making it easy for the English batters. He was either bowling on the legs or pitching it too close to the batters helping them to either dispatch the ball on the leg side or drive with ease. During the Lord's Test, Akash Deep, who earlier was ruled out of the match due to groin injury, opened the bowling with Bumrah in the first innings. Siraj replaced him in the second innings as he along with Bumrah got the new ball. In the Edgbaston Test in Bumrah's absence, Akash Deep and Siraj carried out the responsibilities in both the innings. Bumrah and Siraj did the job for Shubman Gill and Co in the first match at Leeds.
