Mohammed shami

Veteran India speedster Mohammed Shami was unhappy with the wicket of the Oval where the WTC final between India and Australia are taking place. According to him, the pitch was not ready fully for a game of this importance. The wicket has been constantly offering uneven bounce but it was slightly better on day four than the first three days. “In Test matches, pitches tend to get slower as the game goes on. But I don’t think this pitch was fully prepared for World Test Championship final. It was not fully ready but day by day it does change in a Test match,” said Shami. “Test matches should be decided on day five and in the last session. That is what called a proper Test. In the last four years, we have played well against Australia. Both have fought hard. We will have to bat well tomorrow.” ”We believe we can win the match. We have performed well overseas not just in England. We will come together to win this. 280 runs if you bat well it is gettable.” Rahane did not take the field in second innings after being hit while batting on Friday. But Shami said he is fully fit to bat”, Shami added. Earlier, the Kangaroos were in a commanding position to seal a win in the World Test Championship (WTC) Final when they declared on 270/8 and gave India a huge total of 444. On a wicket like Oval that continues to offer variable bounce, Kohli was seen in a fantastic touch and made unbeaten 44 runs in just 60 balls. Rahane on the other hand is on 20 as the duo is looking to make a huge t...

After Shami took his 200th Test wicket, the cricketing fraternity took to Twitter and lauded the Indian fast bowler on reaching the milestone. Here's how the world reacted to Shami taking 200 Test wicket: "After a fabulous innings from Rahul on Day 1,an outstanding display of seam bowling from Shami. 5 wkts and a great way to get to 200 Test Wickets. With his fine spell, India take a commanding 130 run lead. Wishing for the batsman to capitalise & set a big target for South Africa," former India batter and National Cricket Academy (NCA) chief VVS Laxman wrote on Twitter.

(Getty Images) Well, it’s exactly what the International Cricket Council would have wanted, a thrilling Test match that has come down to the final day. India will break records and do something unimaginable if they are able to chase down 444, after resuming on the start of day five on 164 for three. Crucially for India, Virat Kohli is still at the crease, and while a victory might be a long shot, there is a chance they could bat out the day and the match finish in a draw. The game was handed an additional level of bite at the end of the fourth day when the third umpire had to get involved over a stunning low catch from Cameron Green, but the decision was upheld, Shubman Gill was on his way, and the Australian judged to have just got his hands underneath the ball.

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Former India players rallied around pace bowler Mohammed Shami on Monday, after the 31-year-old was targeted online following his team's 10-wicket defeat by arch-rivals Pakistan in the Twenty20 World Cup a day earlier. Shami conceded 43 runs from his 3.5 overs in the Super 12 blockbuster meeting in Dubai, as Pakistan secured their Despite the Indian team's collective failure, Shami, who is Muslim, was the victim of online abuse that included Islamophobic messages. "The online attack on Shami is shocking and we stand by him. He is a champion and anyone who wears the India cap has India in their hearts far more than any online mob. With you Shami," former India opener Virender Sehwag wrote on Twitter. Former India batsman VVS Laxman reminded fans that Shami had been a "stellar performer" for India for eight years and helped them win many matches. "He can't be defined by one performance. My best wishes are always with him. I urge fans and followers of the game to support @MdShami11 and the Indian team," Laxman wrote in a tweet. Former India pace bowler Irfan Pathan, who is also Muslim, said he was angered by the abuse. "Even I was part of #IndvsPak battles on the field where we have lost but never been told to go to Pakistan," Pathan said on Twitter. "THIS CRAP NEEDS TO STOP." Another former paceman Venkatesh Prasad added: "355 international wickets. It is India that beats in the heart of anyone representing India. "And Shami has been an outstanding and yet...

The ICC World Test Championship final between India and Australia kickstarted on Wednesday at the Oval. Rohit Sharma’s team won the toss and decided to bowl first against the Kangaroos. The Indian team came in with four seamers and opted for Ravindra Jadeja over Ravichandran Ashwin. Talented Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj provided India with an early blow as he scalped the wicket of Usman Khawaja. But then David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne had other plans as they built a 69-run stand for the second wicket for Australia. India’s Shardul Thakur got rid of Warner then and Mohammed Shami on the other side delivered a ripper to clean up Labuschagne. Shami bowled a full-length delivery and invited Labuschagne to drive the ball but then the ball came in and rattled the stumps. Earlier Australia ended the day by putting 327/3 on the board at the stumps on Day 1 of the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Wednesday. Travis Head and Steve Smith kept on punishing the Indian bowlers and forged a 251-run unbeaten stand for the fourth wicket and put their team in a commanding position. Head is still batting at 146 while Smith is just five runs short of his century. India's Playing XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Srikar Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj. Australia Playing XI: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Care...
