'Forgive me for degrading': Former England captain reflects on sledging in Lord's Test, recalls Kohli-Konstas clash
Former England captain Michael Atherton tried to explain the difference between different on-field spats between players and in the process highlighted the in famous Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas battle. read more The Lord's Test had everything that a typical demanding cricket fan would have asked for. From enthralling contests between bat and bowl to competitive battles between bowlers and batsmen, it was an edge-of-a-seat thriller till the action ceased on Day 5. As both teams went toe to toe, there was an inclination that neither side wanted to leave no stone unturned. Hence, tempers flared on occasions. Also Read | 'You set yourself up, don't you?': Jos Butler on how Washington Sundar's words fired up England at Lord's STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Michael Atherton remembers the famous Kohli-Konstas battle Recollecting the on-field feuds, Mohammed Siraj and Ben Duckett had a nasty confrontation. Then, there was one between Ravindra Jadeje and Brydon Carse on the final Day. Shubman Gill also showcased his animated side when he hurled a mouthful towards Zak Crawley on Day 3. A similar drama unfolded on Day 4 too. Thus, that part of the game was also visible at regular intervals over five days. Some fans deem this as entertainment, however, former England player Michael Atherton does not come in the same bracket. Atherton wrote a lengthy column for The Times and tried to explain what kind of spat between the players is justifiable. The former England captain brought forward a few instances where players were involved in ugly arguments and attempted to categorise between what is fair and justified and what is not. To make things clear, he cited the example of the in-famous incident that took place between Virat Kohli and Sam Konstas during the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia in December 2024. 'Forgive me for degrading the report of a great match with this nonsense, but wouldn't spectators rather see players caring too much, rather than too little, about playing Tests? No one, of course, wants to see physical altercations on the field of play, or sustained nasty verbal abuse. There should be no place, for example, for the shoulder barge that Virat Kohli initiated in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne last Christmas, when he diverted from his path to deliberately walk into Sam Konstas. In a match where there was plenty of spice and niggle, tempers flared as Carse and Jadeja collided mid-pitch, although the impact was entirely accidental, after Jadeja had deflected the ball towards third man, with both players ball-watching rather than minding each other's path,' he wrote.

Mohammed Siraj reflects on bizarre dismissal and Lord's heartbreak: 'Some matches stay with you...'
Mohammed Siraj suffered an unlucky dismissal off Shoaib Bashir's bowling to become the last Indian batter to fall, sealing a thrilling 22-run victory over England on the final day of the third Test at Lord's on Monday. read more Mohammed Siraj wears a crestfallen look on his face after getting clean bowled by Shoaib Bashir on the final day of the third Test at Lord's. AP India pacer Mohammed Siraj opened up on his heartbreaking dismissal in the third Test against England at Lord's on Monday, which sealed a 22-run defeat for his team in their chase of the 193-run target set by the Ben Stokes-led hosts. In a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Siraj reflected on the lessons learned from the defeat at the 'Home of Cricket' on Monday, which allowed England to go 2-1 up in the five-Test series with two matches left. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Some matches stay with you, not for the outcome, but for what they teach,' Siraj wrote in his Instagram post that included images from the match, including him sitting on his haunches after his bizarre dismissal off off-spinner Shoaib Bashir's bowling with the target very much in sight. Rashid hails Siraj's 'energy and passion' The 31-year-old pacer's post receives thousands of replies, including from star leg-spinner Rashid Khan, his teammate at Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League. 'Mia your energy and passion for the game is on top . Mashallah you are champion bowler and special player,' the Afghan spinner wrote in reply. Siraj had played an important role in India's commanding 336-run victory in the second Test at Edgbaston with his haul of 6/70 in the first innings. He was also among the wickets at Lord's, collecting a couple of wickets in both innings including 2/31 that helped the Indians bowl England out for 192. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Siraj later forged a 23-run partnership with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, the last-wicket pair grinding their way towards the 193-run target until the former was dismissed for 4 after facing 30 deliveries. Jadeja, meanwhile, remained unbeaten on 61 off 181 deliveries, having brought up his fourth consecutive half-century along the way. Also Read | Jadeja deserved his own Headingley 2019 moment at Lord's, but India just could not muster enough resolve The Hyderabadi speedster will be hoping to make up for the dismissal, even if he wasn't really at fault, with another match-winning performance in Manchester, where the fourth Test gets underway at Old Trafford next Wednesday.

Animesh finishes second in 100m heats at Swiss meet
Animesh Kujur continued his brilliant run in the ongoing season by coming second in Heat C of 100m during the Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern at Stadion Allmend in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Tuesday night. Coming into the race fresh from competing at the Monaco Diamond League last week, Kujur ran 10.28 seconds — his third-best personal time. While Sachin Dennis of Jamaica came first with a timing of 10.21 seconds, four more Indian athletes also took part in the race and pushed each other to the limit. Gurindervir Singh, who has a PB of 10.20 seconds and briefly held the 100m NR, came fourth with a timing of 10.54 seconds. Manikanta Hoblidhar, also a former 100m NR holder, followed suit with a time of 10.61 seconds. Odisha's DM Jayram and Lalu Prasad Bhoi were the next to cross the line. Jayram ran a PB of 10.65 seconds while Lalu crossed the line just 0.02 seconds later. However, Animesh was the most impressive of the Indian runners as he looks make good use of competing with the faster runners in the European circuit. While he is hoping to qualify for the World Championships in 200m, he is also aiming to break the 10-second mark in 100m. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He currently holds the 100m NR with a time of 10.18 seconds that he achieved during the Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting at Konstantinos Baglatzis Municipal Stadium in Vari, Greece, earlier this month. His coach Owen Martins, who trains him at Odisha Reliance Foundation Athletics High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar, however is well aware that it's going to take some time. "It's a slow process. It's still 2 metres and it's a long way off. Athens wasn't a fast track. So there's a few tenths of a second there. Also, in an earlier race, the wind was 1.7 m/s as opposed to 0. 5 m/s when he ran. So you can get down to 10.12 seconds just by changing the wind. But it's a gradual process and again, that's not really what we're trying to aim for," said Martins.
