At the end, Australia won the match, and won very easily. A 153-run target is a very easy target for a team like Australia in the ODI format. If West Indies could have scored more than 200 runs, they might have been able to put up a good fight to win the match. Ashton Agar bowled well, he was able to pick up the wickets of important batsmen. West Indies opener Evin Lewis batted very responsibly.

This will be a very big blow to Real Madrid who actually thought Varane might change his mindset about leaving the club,to sign a contract since Ramos has already joined PSG.Varane is valued so highly at Madrid that they never wanted him to go,but now that reports are saying he's very close to a move to Man-U,it will really be a big blow to Madrid to have lost their two best defenders at a season.

There is no cricket match today except the Ireland women's vs Netherlands women's team match, so i'm enjoing this match now. Although I am not very interested in women's cricket. The Netherlands women’s team won the toss and they decided to field. At the end of 15 overs, the Irish women's team lost 4 wickets for 110 runs. I think if they can collect 160 runs, it will be enough to win.

Reportedly Man City must prepare funds of 160 million Pounds to bring Kane and Man city management ensures that there will be no agreement if  have to pay that much
It seems that the hunt for Kane is coming to an end I can't believe a team would pay 160m Pound in the current situation

Haaland contract expires in June 2024 but he can quit Dortmund next year after paying €75m.
I read Chelsea offered around €150m to Dortmund, accept it or leave it, I think it is a golden chance for Dortmund otherwise they will lose him next year most probably for half that number!

No one will debate about the skill level of Prithvi Shaw, even though he did not play a long innings the shots he played were world class and outstanding and his skill level as a batsman is visible with each of the strokes as he is not powering those shots but his timing is out of the world but he lacks concentrating and he lost his wickets to spinners, he might need to fine tune that and he will be a force to reckon in world cricket if he can be consistent with his performance.

I was expecting 190+ score when India opted to bat, had a bet which i lost.

Pandya doesn't seems same batter to me anymore, he looks quite vulnerable nowadays. He's even not performing with the bowling, well no one expected that much from him anyway. Lankans has a fine chance of winnig this game if they can hold their opening wickets.

If Barcelona gets good money for Griezmann, Barcelona will let Griezmann go. There are many Strikers in Barcelona now. Messi, Aguero, Griezmann, Dembele, Depay, Braithwaite and young Ansu Fati and Pedri. New additions this season have been Aguero and Depay. I think Barcelona will decide to sell one to Griezmann or Dembele.

According to a source, Bayer Leverkusen have rejected a £30m offer from Aston Villa for Leon Bailey (23). I really enjoyed watching him in the last season. He got 9 goals and 9 assists in 30 Bundesliga games. I think he is a player who has a good potential and he is still young. If he has another productive season, maybe we can see him at a big club in the next season.

At an age that is no longer young then it's true, they will be better just as finishers. If Giroud continues to play as usual with a wider range of movement I'm just worried Giroud will fall injured like Mandzukic, it's a big mistake I think. Because these players are still needed for teams in Serie A but still, at their age they should only be finishers or at least have reduced space to maintain good performance in matches.

I would like to focus on Cristiano Ronaldo: he is expected in Turin next Monday to start preparing for the new season. But this is decision week, the one that should lead to the choice on his future. At the moment we know there are no signals. The Portuguese star still has a year left on his contract with Juventus and has not expressed, either directly or through the mouth of Jorge Mendes, his desire to leave Italy. In any case, the discussion with Juve will inevitably have to be faced, in order to understand if there is the will to keep working together. But if it is true that Mbappé is planning to leave PSG for Real, he could certainly be the man indicated to fill the gap left by n*10 at PSG.

I feel your analysis about Messi and Squarez departure has merits, but the problem is Barcelona is so focused on Messi that they forget that even Griezman can win them games if given the chance to shine. Lastly they should have allowed Messi to leave, and invest more in the squad because Messi can’t constantly win them matches like he used to do in the past.

Yes that is what I am saying. I don't see a realistic scenario where it makes a whole lot of sense to let Giroud and Zlatan play at the same time. Both are pure center players with similar abilities while Zlatan is a more dangerous striker and Giroud a hard-working team player. Although I would say that Zlatan is also quite the team player. He is just a quicker finisher and doesn't look three or four times to find a player to pass the ball to.

This time the Zimbabwe batsmen managed to put up a decent score, thanks to the innings from Wessley Madhevere at the top, and then Ryan Burl and Dion Myers towards the end. That gave the bowlers something to defend (for the first time in the series). And Blessing Muzarabani as expected wrecked the Bangladesh top order with two wickets in his very first over. And after that, Wellington Masakadza picked up two wickets in his first over (including the crucial wicket of Shakib al Hasan) and for Bangladesh it was all over at this point.

Zimbabwe decided to bat after winning the toss in the second T20 match against Bangladesh. They are batting quite well. They scored 94 runs in 13 overs. If Zimbabwe can collect more than 160 runs, it will be difficult for Bangladesh to win this match. Zimbabwe have not won a single match in the entire series.

When they received the test status in 2000, Bangladesh was regarded as much weaker when compared to teams like Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. But they made some progress over the last two decades. They are not yet at the same level as teams like South Africa, but improvement has been there. Also, there is enough depth in the talent pool. The main issue for them is that they are overdependent on certain players such as Shakib al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Mustafizur Rahman. This weakness can be alleviated only by reforming the domestic cricket.

But Tottenham still holding him. which makes Kane frustrate, We know he is very excited about the title but the club never has a chance to him. Is possible for Tottenham to buy another player (midfielder) to support him in front? It doesn't have that plan, possible he will follow Bale, run away in the training room. and he becomes sulky.

I'm already curious when Messi's deal will be fixed. Allegedly he has very high salary demands and Barcelona has problems with the financial fair rules.

There has not been an exception for Barcelona, so some players will still have to go, there are still some problems for Barcelona. I am curious how long it will take until Messi signs the contract, supposedly a 5 year contract.

While other teams (such as Bangladesh and Afghanistan) are improving their performance, Sri Lanka is perhaps the only test playing nation whose performance has gone down.

It is an obvious fact that Kane with Tottenham will not be able to achieve anything, this has been discussed many times here earlier. Kane is not getting younger every year and he must decide for himself whether he wants to achieve more without Tottenham, or stay with Tottenham until the end, but without great achievements.
