Pakistan is also affected because they have a history of producing pace bowlers that bowl around 150 or above. So PCB has important role in checking the bowling action of its pacers from very early days when action can be corrected with little effort. I don't think PCB has much resources to do that though.

Kieron Pollard, the West Indies captain and allrounder, announced his retirement from international cricket. A lot of candidates are in line to fill Pollard's shoes. We had a fantastic time watching you work. Have a happy retirement from international cricket. While there is controversy surrounding Pollard, he did not promote national cricket. Instead, he put his best effort into franchise leagues around the world. He could have served the West Indies for many years! Sadly, his time is up.

Leipzig have a really big chance to win against Union Berlin this week. And a probable victory would be very useful for them too. Because on the same day and right after their match ends, there is a der Klassiker in Allianz Arena. I'm feeling very confident that Bayern Munich would be able to defeat Dortmund in that match. And this would mean that Leipzig would have a chance to make the gap with Dortmund six points. Who knows maybe Leipzig will even take the second position before the league ends but it seems really difficult.

Barcelona is on a mission to end a run of bad results in the last two matches against Real Sociedad in La Liga, Xavi must try to restore his team's mentality after losing to Frankfurt and Cadiz. However, Barcelona efforts to end a negative streak in the last two games are being put to a tough test, as Sociedad are struggling to make their way to Europe next season. Sociedad record is also very good when playing at home, Xavi must be careful with Sociedad strengths, because Sociedad performances this season have been very good.

Transfer rumours:

Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling, 27, is on a list of players AC Milan want to sign amid reports of a potential £850m takeover of the 18-time champions of Italy. Is this a good decision for Manchester City? What if Haaland gets hurt?
Manchester City have told Dortmund and Norway striker Erling Braut Haaland, 21, that he could join Real Madrid later in his career if he moves to the Etihad this summer. The signing-on fee and agent commission on a potential deal could add £40m to the £63m transfer fee stipulated by Haaland's release clause. Interesting news. Does Haaland really have that much desire to play for Real once?
Real Madrid and Barcelona are both interested in signing Chelsea and Germany defender Antonio Rudiger, 29, who is out of contract at the end of the season but is keen to stay at Stamford Bridge. What Rudiger will decide in the end?
Lazio, Juventus and AC Milan could all be destinations for Chelsea and Italy midfielder Jorginho, 30, who is unlikely to be offered an extension to a contract that expires at the end of next season. Everyone is leaving Chelsea, who will eventually stay at the club?
Tottenham are confident of keeping England forward Harry Kane, 28, this summer and considering a move to bring Brentford and Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen, 30, back to the club. Spurs are also keeping tabs on 24-year-old Leicester and Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans. How realistic are these expectations?

Change of captaincy having very good impact on RCB and now with today win they are second in league table with ten points from seven games which is amazing start but sadly their star Kohli is still not in good touch as he needs to be for his team in last few matches he is giving poor performance which is not good as he is already in good criticism for his tactics. Today RCB done very good batting and give very healthy total for chase, but sadly they completely fail to achieve this and face their third defeat of this season with this now they can lose their fourth spot and dropped to sixth or seven as now few teams are giving their best for having good spot.

Now, on Wednesday we have another very interesting match between Delhi Capitals vs Punjab Kings even both teams are struggling badly but here Punjab Kings needs win which give them some good jump into league table and good confidence for rest of this season.

I feel that BCCI can’t bend this rule for their bowler’s, because the video footage of the bowlers is available online and ICC can’t ignore the proof once it’s submitted, plus I haven’t heard of any Indian bowler being reported in a long while.
Lastly I’m glad that Pakistan is working on this, because I remember seeing few of their bowlers being banned due to their bowling action, and hopefully from now on none of their bowler’s will be banned due to violation of the bowling rules.

For me, Man City vs Real Madrid was the ideal final, but well, we'll see how things are, however now we can realize something, that from here whoever wins, 'for me, I'll be the owner of the orejona, However, it is not to underestimate the added value that Villareal or perhaps Liverpool has, but here we will find two great teams, two of the best in their respective leagues, both Real Madrid and Man City are in these At the moment the best teams in the world that exist and that have many great things to do, these semis are going to be very exciting, for me I go for Real Madrid, but I know that Peop Guardiola knows very well how the madridistas play and that is a point in favor of City.

Liverpool vs Villarreal match is a big game. the match was a battle of two great coaches that ever existed today. Jurgen Kloop and U. Emery will certainly prepare carefully for this match. Villareal can be said to be a team from Spain that has proven to be able to make it difficult for teams from the premier league, but Liverpool are also preparing all kinds of needs to face Villareal during the busy schedule that Liverpool currently has.

Today's result have no impact on both teams as Galatasaray is going to stay in middle of league table and Yeni Malatyaspor is preparing for down with still five matches left in this season, but they are playing with the tag of the worst team of this season in Turkish League. Today manager need to do some good changes specially in second half but still they are no doing things which are very important can create some good changes in their performance in coming season.

The match between the two teams will be like a final, I'm sure of that. both teams are contenders for champions in their local leagues. the final match between the two should be very decent. but this meeting will determine which one of them will qualify for the final.
I can't bet on the victory in the next match. but my favorite to qualify is Manchester City.
on the other hand, hope Villarreal gets a bigger chance to qualify. because if it's going to be an English final, it looks like it will reduce the excitement in the final later.

Right now the winning probability of Kolkata Knight Riders have reached 77% with the magical play from Shreyas Iyer and the good start from Finch. The match is going to be an easy win for Kolkata Knight Riders and the match have turned to Kolkata Knight Riders with the catch of Shreyas dropped by Sanju Samson. Just 40 runs required out of 24 balls which is an easy target.

I think Harry Maguire is not a bad defender at all. He just needs a world class manager to tell him he's slacking. Harry Maguire still been the captain of the team says a lot about the club, a captain that drops a poor consistently shouldn't be one. If Manchester United eventually makes top four at the end of the season they will have to Christiano Ronaldo to thank.

I don't think their present ages could be a hindrance for the success of the team. As long as they are fit and still capable being fast bowlers, they should not be dropped from the team as easy as that. Looks like they follow the same route with Ashley Giles, Chris Silverwood, and Graham Thorpe from losing their jobs unreasonably. But i guess, there's nothing we can do with that. ECB director has already said his firm decision.

Porto won against Portimonense yesterday and increased their points gap from Sporting. Although, we all know Portimonense to be a weak team, who  couldn't have been able to withstand Porto. While, Porto good advantage of the situation, and scored 7 goals. However, Taremi was the man of the match as he scored 3 goals and made one assist.

Nevertheless, Benfica will be facing Sporting today, this will be an interesting. Because both teams are actually strong. But, is an opportunity for Benfica to pull more closer to Sporting on the standings. If only they will be able to win the match.

Tottenham may have a greater chance of seeing the rest of the game they will not meet strong teams. while Man United still has 2 games with Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Of course, it requires good concentration to be able to keep getting points from a strong team.
while Arsenal has the same points as Man United, they also have to fight Chelsea and Tottenham. although they still have a difference of 1 game, Arsenal also gets opponents from good teams. it will be quite difficult to collect points when the performance is not so good.

PBKS collected 130 runs in 16 overs, and they did not lose any more wickets. Livingstone scored 54 off 29 balls and Shahrukh scored 26 off 27 balls. The partnership was definitely needed. But Shahrukh probably forgot it was a T20 match. The striker rate should have been at least more than 120. Such unprofessional gameplay is never expected. My guess is that Punjab will give a target of 175-185 runs today.

If PSG win today they will cut the distance to their title by one game - at the moment they have a 12 point lead over second place, which means they can become champions with 4 games before the end of the championship. I hope Marseille win today and the title of PSG will be completed in some "decent" round and not 5 games before the end of the tournament.

it seems so, with the current points gap and the number of games remaining to end the season I think it's almost impossible to catch, Real madrid just need 4 more wins to confirm themselves as champions, it's very possible for a great team to have a star player like Real madrid.
