IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: 'They've outbatted and outbowled England' - Nasser Hussain, Stuart Broad say India deserve to win at Edgbaston
Former England cricketers Nasser Hussain and
Stuart Broad
strongly believe that India deserve to win at Edgbaston after having dominated England with the bat and with the ball throughout the Test match.
"If you look at the nine days of the Test series, they've probably won more, in fact they've definitely won more sessions than England, yet they find themselves one nil down," Nasser Hussain told Sky Sports.

"That's why they needed this evening and that's why they need tomorrow, because they've played so much good cricket in two Test matches now, they feel that they should go to Lord's 1-1. Excellent, excellent with the bat and then the ball.
"It's a real worry that their seamers got more out of this pitch with the new ball than England did. That new ball burst from Akash Deep was absolutely wonderful."
Stuart Broad explained why India have generated more swing than the England pacers and lauded Akash Deep for his splendid spell.
Poll
Who do you think deserves to win the Test match at Edgbaston?
India
England
Neither
Too close to call
"I think when surfaces do dry up a little bit, the new ball can nip off the sort of cracks or the drier surfaces," said Broad.
"That was just an outstanding spell from Akash Deep today, bringing the stumps into play.
I think he's slightly shorter than Carse and Tongue, so he can bowl a slightly different length to hit the stumps.

"I think India, we have to be honest, India have outbowled England in this Test match and outbatted them and that's why they're 536 runs ahead with a whole day to go, needing seven wickets to win the Test match," he said.
Broad admitted that after England chased down 371 runs on the final day of the Headingley Test, he thought the series would be one-way traffic.
"They've been superb this week and I must admit, I thought after that day five at Headingley, I thought this series could be gone when you concede that many to lose a Test match when you've controlled the Test match like they did. How do you pick yourself up? And they've done it superbly," said Broad.

NHL salary arbitration update: Gabriel Vilardi, Kaapo Kakko, and nine others file as key contract talks begin
NHL offseason witnesses salary arbitration filings by 11 players (Getty Images) As the NHL offseason heats up, the next chapter of team-building drama has arrived: salary arbitration. On Saturday, 11 players filed for salary arbitration according to the NHL Players' Association, setting the stage for a potentially contentious negotiation period that could shape several rosters before training camp. Notable names hit the arbitration list across the NHL Headlining the list is Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi, who just posted a breakout year. The 25-year-old notched career highs in goals (27), assists (34), and points (61) over 71 games, solidifying his role as a key offensive piece for the Jets. Vilardi, acquired from Los Angeles in the Pierre-Luc Dubois trade, has quickly become indispensable—and now seeks a payday to match his impact. Seattle Kraken forward Kaapo Kakko, formerly of the New York Rangers, also filed. Still seeking consistency after being selected second overall in 2019, Kakko remains a project with untapped upside. His arbitration case will likely focus on potential versus production. Other notable names include Lukas Dostal of the Anaheim Ducks, a promising young goalie who saw extended NHL action last season, and Dylan Samberg, a steady presence on the Winnipeg blue line. Both will likely push for deals that reflect their growing roles. Buffalo's Bowen Byram, however, stands out for a different reason. The Sabres opted for team-elected arbitration with the 23-year-old defenseman, acquired from Colorado in March. This move gives Buffalo control over the process while continuing negotiations behind the scenes. Arbitration hearings set, but deals may come first Hearings are scheduled between July 20 and August 4, but it's common for players and teams to settle beforehand. Last offseason, 14 restricted free agents filed, yet only one—Nashville's Spencer Stastney—went through a full arbitration hearing and received a ruling from an independent arbitrator. With plenty of cap flexibility across the league and several teams still navigating their roster cores, expect some intense negotiations in the coming weeks.

Tom Brady reveals shocking injury that almost ended his NFL career before it truly began
Tom Brady, the NFL icon, almost retired in 2005 at 27 due to severe elbow pain (Getty Images) Tom Brady's iconic NFL career — filled with Super Bowl rings, record-smashing performances, and legendary comebacks — almost ended before it truly began. In a shocking revelation, Brady admitted he seriously considered retiring in 2005 at just 27 years old due to persistent elbow pain that nearly derailed his throwing mechanics and passion for the game. Tom Brady reveals early career elbow pain nearly forced him into retirement 'I almost retired from the game of football because of elbow pain,' Tom Brady confessed during a TB12 event in 2022. It's hard to imagine the NFL without Brady's miraculous 28–3 Super Bowl comeback, or his historic 2020 championship run with the Buccaneers. But without a critical turning point in his health routine, none of it may have happened. Long before becoming the face of longevity in football, Brady was privately battling intense discomfort. 'For my first eleven years playing organized sports, I had a very bad elbow,' he shared. From Little League to the Patriots, the repetitive stress never let up. And as Brady put it bluntly: 'I really wondered how long I could play if I was never going to be able to throw the football without pain.' What changed his trajectory? Enter Alex Guerrero, Brady's longtime body coach and TB12 co-founder. Guerrero told Fox News that when he first started working with Brady, the quarterback 'couldn't even throw a ball without wincing.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 월 2만원으로 아이들의 한끼 선물하기 굿네이버스 더 알아보기 Undo But within just two days of pliability therapy — the cornerstone of the TB12 Method — Brady noticed immediate relief. 'We incorporate muscle pliability work and functional strength and conditioning exercises… The result of pliability is that you recover faster, play better, and spend less time on the sidelines,' Guerrero explained. That system didn't just restore Brady — it helped revolutionize how athletes approach injury prevention and performance. From a torn MCL in 2020 to broken fingers and ligament damage in both hands, Brady played through more than fans ever knew. 'Can't even bend that finger anymore,' he once said, showing off the damage on his right hand. But instead of giving in, Brady leaned harder into the TB12 philosophy — a method that kept him in peak condition deep into his 40s.

With daily workouts and public training updates, he's still living like a champion. If not for one pivotal health breakthrough, though, Brady's NFL story might've ended at 27 — before it even had the chance to become legendary.

NHL Trade Rumors: Penguins face pressure to trade Rickard Rakell despite strong 70-point season
As the Pittsburgh Penguins navigate their offseason, Rickard Rakell's future is uncertain (Imge via AP) As the Pittsburgh Penguins continue retooling after missing the playoffs, the spotlight now turns to veteran forward Rickard Rakell — a player drawing league-wide interest, but who reportedly prefers to stay right where he is. Rickard Rakell's uncertain future looms over Penguins offseason as trade buzz intensifies According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Rakell is not pushing for a trade despite the swirling rumors: 'I've heard Rakell would prefer to stay in Pittsburgh,' Friedman said. 'It's just that it's not his call. I've heard he is not averse to staying, but, ultimately, Dubas will make that decision.' This sentiment sets up a potentially emotional standoff between player loyalty and front-office strategy. Rakell, fresh off a career-best season with 35 goals and 35 assists, remains a core part of the Penguins' offensive engine. Yet, with the team navigating a rebuild and trying to acquire future assets, trading the high-performing winger could net a significant return. While general manager Kyle Dubas weighs his options, one factor complicates any aggressive rebuild — the presence of Sidney Crosby. The franchise icon is still playing at a high level and is fiercely committed to contending. That urgency puts pressure on management to strike a delicate balance between building for the future and competing for the now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo Crosby's influence is undeniable, and there's a growing sentiment that the Penguins owe it to him to keep the team competitive until he calls it a career. Rakell's chemistry with Crosby and his consistent scoring make him an asset Dubas might hesitate to part with — unless the return is too good to pass up. The NHL offseason is rapidly heating up, and with other big-name trades already materializing across the league, Rakell's situation could be resolved sooner rather than later. For now, the forward remains in Pittsburgh — hopeful to stay, but fully aware the decision lies elsewhere. Also Read: NHL trade rumors: Maple Leafs linked to shocking Morgan Rielly–Nazem Kadri swap to fix top-six gap With the Penguins at a crossroads, every move this offseason could reshape their identity. Whether Rakell is part of that future remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Pittsburgh can't afford to get this one wrong. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story.
