Curtly Ambrose dig fired up Shamar Joseph: Roston Chase praises pacer's character after 1st Test
'Shamar has come out today and said 'just look out and watch what is coming.' OK Shamar, well, you've delivered crap all year."'He'd better improve, that's what I'm saying in the dressing room. He's got real trouble. You're not Curtly Ambrose, champ.'Shamar replied to Healy's comments with sensational spells in both innings, giving West Indies hope against a strong Australian side. He was unplayable in the first innings of the game, and doubled that down in the second innings, finishing with a total of 9 wickets in the match.advertisementRoston Chase, the Windies captain, said that Shamar's performance was a testament to his character and the heart he carried while playing for his national team."Coming into the game, there was a bit of controversy in the news, talking about Curtly Ambrose and stuff (Ian Healy said 'Shamar, you're not Curtly'), I guess he used that as fire to perform the way he did. I just want to congratulate him on the game. Shows the heart and character he has," Chase said after the conclusion of the Test match.WI vs AUS, 1st Test: Match ReportHealy Clarifies Shamar CommentShamar's fiery reaction put Healy straight onto his back foot, as a host of criticism came the former cricketer's way. Healy was quick to clarify his comments and said that context was more important before quoting someone incorrectly.'Yesterday, when I talked about backing up Sam Konstas when an opponent sledges him, I sort of talked about what the dressing room might say – is that the context, do you reckon, that I was talking about?' Healy asked co-host, NRL great Corey Parker.'Do you believe I was talking about what the dressing room might say to Konstas, or was it me saying something against Shamar Joseph?"advertisement'Geez, they've come out at me, haven't they! They've said 'oh no, I've sledged Shamar!' Apparently, it's saying I've had a personal dig at Shamar."'He's bowled beautifully again today, and it's not easy with so much gold around your neck!'West Indies vs Former Australia PlayersThis is not the first time that a former Australian cricketer has been called out for ill comments against the West Indies team. In their previous tour of Australia, Windies were called a "pathetic" team by former cricketer Rodney Hogg. After their incredible win at the Gabba, which tied the 2-match series 1-1, then Windies captain Kraigg Brathwaite said that his team turned Rodney Hogg's comments into motivation to beat Australia in the series."I must say we had two words that inspired us in this Test match. Mr. Rodney Hogg said that we were pathetic and hopeless. That was our inspiration. We wanted to show the world we're not pathetic. And I must ask him, are these muscles big enough for him?" Brathwaite had said.- Ends

Tim David fined for showing dissent during fifth T20I against West Indies
Tim David (AFP Photo) NEW DELHI: Australia batter Tim David has been fined 10% of his match fee for showing dissent during the fifth T20I against the West Indies in St. Kitts on July 28. The ICC confirmed that David violated Article 2.8 of its Code of Conduct, which pertains to 'showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match.' Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The incident occurred in the fifth over of Australia's innings when a delivery from Alzarri Joseph down the leg side was not called a wide. David reacted by stretching out his arms in protest and walking toward the umpire with his arms still extended — an action deemed inappropriate under ICC regulations. Since this was his first offence within a 24-month period, David was handed one demerit point in addition to the fine. He admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by match referee Reon King, avoiding the need for a formal hearing. The charge was brought by on-field umpires Zahid Bassarath and Leslie Reifer, with third umpire Deighton Buttler and fourth umpire Gregory Brathwaite also involved. Under ICC rules, Level 1 breaches can result in an official reprimand, a fine of up to 50% of the match fee, and one or two demerit points. Accumulating four or more demerit points within 24 months leads to suspension points, which can result in bans. Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two limited-overs matches, depending on which format comes first. Demerit points remain on a player's record for two years. David's action was the only disciplinary incident reported during the match, and while the punishment was minor, it reinforces the importance of upholding the spirit and conduct expected in international cricket.

India Tour of England 2025: Full list of records set during Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy
With a thrilling six-run win at The Oval on Monday, India ended its England tour by drawing the Test series at 2-2. During this long series, a significant number of individual milestones were achieved and several team records were broken. Here is the complete list of records set during Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025: 1 - Shubman Gill (754) broke Sunil Gavaskar's record (732 against West Indies in 1978) of most runs by an Indian captain in a Test series. Gill's effort is second only to the 810 runs scored by Australian captain Don Bradman during the 1936-37 Ashes series. 2 - Gill (754) fell just short of going past Gavaskar's record (774 against West Indies in 1970-71) of most runs by an Indian in a Test series. 3 - Ben Stokes completed 7,000 runs in Test cricket — only the third player to record 7,000 runs and 200 wickets in Tests. Only Jacques Kallis and Garfield Sobers had achieved the feat before Stokes. 4 - With his five-wicket hauls at Leeds and Lord's, Jasprit Bumrah now holds the record for most fifers by an Indian bowler in England. The record previously belonged to Lala Amarnath, Kapil Dev, B Chandrasekhar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vinoo Mankad, Chetan Sharma, Ishant Sharma, Mohammad Nissar and Surendranath as all of them had two five-wicket hauls in England. 4 - With his tons at Leeds and Lord's, KL Rahul now holds the record for most centuries by an Indian opener in England. 4 - For only the fourth time this century, all five Tests in a series went to the final day with other instances including the England tour of South Africa (2004-05), South Africa tour of West Indies (2001) and the 2017-18 Ashes in Australia. 5 - Gill became just the fifth Indian Test batter to register a century on his captaincy debut during the first Test at Headingley, Leeds. 6 - With his knock of 269 in Birmingham, Gill became the sixth Indian captain to score a double hundred after MAK Pataudi, Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. 6 - India's six-run win over England at The Oval is its narrowest margin of victory by runs in a Test, going past its 13-run win against Australia in Mumbai in 2004. 6 - Gill (754), KL Rahul (532) and Ravindra Jadeja (516) became just the sixth trio in Test history to pass 500 runs in the same series for a single team. 7 - Yashasvi Jaiswal became the seventh Indian opener to register a hundred in England and Australia, joining an exclusive list which includes Vinoo Mankad, Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Virender Sehwag, M. Vijay and KL Rahul. 8 - With his twin tons at Leeds, Rishabh Pant went past Dhoni (six) for most centuries in the longest format by an Indian wicketkeeper as he took his tally to eight. 13 - With his five-wicket haul at Lord's, Bumrah broke Kapil's record (12) of most fifers by an Indian bowler in away Tests. 13 - Joe Root now holds the record of most Test centuries against India. On the all-time list of most Test tons by a batter against a single team, he is equal with Gavaskar (13 against West Indies) and only behind Bradman (19 against England). 21 - A total of 21 centuries were scored during this five-match contest, going level with a Test series held between Australia and West Indies in 1955. Out of 21, India scored 12 which is also joint-most for a team in a single series. 23 - Mohammed Siraj matched Bumrah's (23 wickets in 2021-22) record of most wickets for India in a Test series in England. 39 - With his three centuries in the series, Joe Root went past Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara (38) to take the fourth spot on the list of batters with most Test tons. Only Tendulkar (51), Kallis (45) and Ricky Ponting (41) have more. 45 - The 45 bowled dismissals were the most in any men's Test series since 1984, and the most in a series held in England since 1976. 51 - Bumrah equalled Ishant Sharma's all-time Indian record of 51 wickets in England with his 14 scalps in the series. 184 - Jamie Smith scored 184 in the first innings of the second Test in Birmingham, the highest score by an England wicketkeeper in the longest format. He went past Alec Stewart's record of 173 against New Zealand in 1997. 185.3 - Siraj recorded the second-most overs bowled by an Indian pacer in a series since June 2002, falling only behind Bumrah (187 overs on England tour in 2021-22). 213 - Root went past Rahul Dravid (210) for the all-time record of most catches in Test cricket. He achieved the feat as he collected a difficult grab of Karun Nair at first slip during the second day of the third Test at Lord's Out on his own at the 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐩 🔝 What a way to go clear with the most catches in Test history 🥇 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 11, 2025 269 - With his incredible knock in Birmingham, Gill broke Kohli's (200 against West Indies in North Sound in 2016) record for the highest score by an Indian captain in away Tests, as well as his record (254 not out against South Africa in Pune in 2019) of the highest score by an Indian Test skipper.
