In collapsing to 135 all out in just 37.3 overs, Pakistan surrendered the match in just 1053 balls, making it the joint-second fastest win of Root’s 66-match tenure, behind England’s win over India at Lord’s in 2018, and level with their defeat of Ireland at the same venue the following summer.

In fact, had it not been for more than four hours of rain on the second morning, it’s debatable whether the contest would have made it into day three – a familiar scenario for this England team, after their experiences at Perth and the MCG during last winter’s Ashes.]]>

The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) told shipping firms on Thursday that 32 vessels a day will be able to pass through it from 15 September, compared to 36 currently.

El Niño, a pattern of periodical sea surface warming, affects weather systems globally. This year is expected to be particularly strong, with its effects made more intense by climate change.

The shipping industry is already dealing with severe disruptions due to the Iran War causing a large reduction in the number of vessels passing through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

The ACP said the measures were being put in place to preserve service reliability and safeguard water resources for human consumption.]]>

The bigger question is whether every international side is being held to the same standard. Cricket’s reputation depends on consistency, transparency and accountability, regardless of the team involved. No player or nation should be above criticism, and accusations should always be backed by facts rather than emotion.

For Australia, India or any other major cricketing nation, the focus should remain on fair competition and equal treatment. If the ICC wants credibility, every team must be judged by the same rules and standards, without fear or favour.]]>

A batsman oozing class & natural ability, Ramprakash bows out with an incredible 35,659 First class runs at an average of 53.14 including 114 centuries & 147 half centuries in 461 matches. In 407 List A matches, he scored 13,273 at an average of 40.22 including 17 centuries & 85 half centuries.

He was the 25th player in history to score 100 First class centuries. However in 52 Tests over 11 years, he scored only 2,350 runs at an average of 27.32 with just 2 centuries & 12 half centuries.

He was such a talent, Ramprakash was given plenty of chances to redeem himself. But he took 16 innings to make his first half century & 38 innings over seven years to finally reach three figures.

Ramprakash did enjoy some success against Australia, scoring 933 runs at an average of 42.40 in 12 Tests. But he struggled against a strong fast bowling attack of West Indies, having played the most number of Tests against them in his career. Ramprakash could only score 591 runs against West Indies in 16 Tests at an average of 21.10 with just one century.

It remains one of the great enigmas of English cricket-why Mark Ramprakash never really cut if for England ?

She became known for standing up for ordinary people. She protested for families who lost their homes because of the highway, went on a week-long hunger strike over the rising cost of food, and was even jailed for her protests.
In 1993, she came under heavy criticism after she spoke about a crime wave in her constituency and said many of the suspects were from a particular ethnic group.

After falling out with the UNC leadership, she started her own political party for the 1995 election, but it did not win any seats. She later joined the COP in 2010 before stepping away from frontline politics.

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has expressed deep sadness at the passing of former Guyana cricketer Sydney Jackson Matthews, describing his death as a significant loss to the cricket fraternity in Guyana and the wider Caribbean.

In a statement on Wednesday, GCB President Bissoondyal Singh, along with the Board's executives and staff, extended heartfelt condolences to Matthews' family, friends, former teammates and the cricketing community.

Matthews represented Guyana with distinction in a first-class career spanning from 1970 to 1988. He was among the pioneering Guyanese players selected for the inaugural West Indies Under-19 tour of the United Kingdom in 1970 and later represented the West Indies President's XI against New Zealand in 1972.

A gifted and versatile bowler, Matthews began his career as a fast bowler before successfully transitioning to leg-spin, showcasing his adaptability and deep understanding of the game. His best first-class bowling performance was six wickets for 76 runs.

He played a key role during one of Guyana's most successful eras in regional cricket, helping championship-winning teams in 1971, 1977 and 1987. Throughout his career, Matthews earned widespread respect for his discipline, commitment and professionalism.

Paying tribute, GCB President Bissoondyal Singh said Matthews represented Guyana "with pride and distinction," noting that his successful transition from fast bowling to leg-spin demonstrated his exceptional ability and determination.

"His contribution to three regional championship-winning teams and his pioneering representation at the West Indies Under-19 level will forever remain part of Guyana's rich cricketing history. His passing is a significant loss to the cricket fraternity of Guyana and the wider Caribbean," Singh said.

Beyond first-class cricket, Matthews also represented East Bank, the Demerara Cricket Club and the Guyana Defence Force. His cricketing legacy continued through his son, Ron Matthews, who also represented Guyana and the West Indies at the Under-19 level.

The Guyana Cricket Board extended sincere condolences to Matthews' family and loved ones, while honouring his lasting contribution to Guyana and West Indies cricket. May he rest in peace.]]>

Cecil Wright born in Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth, Jamaica in 1933 played one first class match for Jamaica before moving to England in 1959, where he played semi professionally in Lancashire alongside some of the greats of the game including Gary Sobers & Viv Richards.

Wright’s only game for Jamaica wasn’t a success as he bowled against a strong Barbados team that included greats like Collie Smith, Seymour Nurse without taking a wicket.

Wright played his last match in 2019 in a career that saw him take more than 7,000 wickets that spanned over six decades.
