Josh Inglis and Cameron Green swatted nine sixes and a record partnership in huge Australian win in the West Indies.
Cameron Green broke his bat hitting one of his four sixes over the scoreboard at Sabina Park and Josh Inglis brought up his 50 with a shot which landed on a grandstand roof as the Australian duo blasted the West Indian bowlers to deliver a second-straight T20 win in Jamaica. Matt Kuhnemann became a three-format player on his T20 debut as a spin plan brought the home team undone despite another worrying failure from Glenn Maxwell who replaced dumped dynamo Jake Fraser-McGurk at the top of the order. Cricket In-Article Head to head CAPI After first-gamer Mitch Owen blasted the tourists to victory on Monday, Wednesday was debutant Kuhnemann's turn and the left-arm tweaker went for just 13 runs off three of his overs, and 20 off another, opening the bowling on debut, as spinners took five wickets from 11 of the 20 overs sent down. Adam Zampa snared three wickets and Maxwell two to limit the home team to 8-172, despite three Australian dropped catches. Maxwell, who was promoted to open, failed to get going, again, and his recent returns for the Australian T20 team - just two scores above 40 in his past 14 innings - could possibly cast doubt over his sport after the emergence of Owen who can bat and bowl. But his early dismissal for just 12, and captain Mitch Marsh's exit brought Green and Inglis together on a turning pitch which wasn't without its challenges. The WA pair played and missed a few times but also swatted nine sixes in a 131-run partnership, a new record, which powered the tourists to an eight-wicket win and a 2-0 series lead, reaching their target with 28 balls to spare. Inglis finished unbeaten on 78 of fjust 33 balls while Green, who belted 51 in the opening game, added 56 off 32 balls to his series total. Inglis brought up his 50 off just 22 balls, reaching his milestone with a six which hit the grandstand roof and dribbled down into the gutter, forcing a quick break in play. He was dropped on 60 after skying a pull shot, one of a handful of dropped catches shared between the two teams, and Green hit the next ball for six to pile on the pain. Earlier, Maxwell gave Shimron Hetmyer a send-off after claiming his wicket the ball following a DRS review denied by 'umpire's call' . 'It only cost me one ball,' he screamed twice. He finished with 2-15, but his 10-ball struggle with the bat was more telling, with Owen, who wasn;t required to bat in his second game after making a half-century on debut, looming as another potential opening option for the Australians with three games in the series to go. BIDING HIS TIME Kuhnemann had been rolling his arm over in the nets as part of the Australian squad for more than six weeks before getting his call-up in Jamaica. The left-arm spinner had been unused squad member for last month's World Test Championship final, the three Tests against the West Indies and missed the series opening T20 as well. But the 28-year-old added his T20 cap to his ODI and Test appearances for Australia, giving him a stat in all three forms. All of his international appearances have, however, come overseas. BYE BYE DRE As Kuhnemann played his first T20, West Indian superstar Andre Russell played his last having decided to end his international career at his home ground in Kingston. Russell, who has made some stunning Big Bash cameos, went out with a bang too, blasting four sixes in a 15-ball innings of 36 as he signed off. The all-rounder played 142 matches for the West Indies, including a solitary Test in 2010, and remains a box-office drawcard in T20 tournaments around the world.

Umpires should ensure there are no unnecessary breaks: Dickie Bird
Slow over-rates and frequent ball changes have been the major talking points of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy so far. Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja also drew flak for allegedly ignoring the umpire's message to get on with the game when he was having a drink between overs during the third Test at Lord's. As several former cricketers, including former England captain Michael Atherton, criticised the umpires for losing their grip on the game, legendary umpire Dickie Bird believes that it's important for the match officials to be strong and ensure that they have the last word on the field. 'The spectators pay a lot of money to watch Test matches nowadays. Too many stoppages is not good for Test cricket as it loses interest and that's where the umpires need to be strong and tell the players that they should get going and such stoppages won't be tolerated,' Bird told The Hindu. The 92-year-old, who has followed the series closely, believes the DRS has diminished the authority of the umpires slightly. 'Now, I see they are changing the ball every now and then, and that automatically slows down the game, but the umpires should make sure that they don't allow unnecessary breaks as it kills the buzz,' he said. 'In my time, I would jokingly tell the players, 'come on, lads, get on with the game, let's not kill the (charm) of the game.' We would have a good laugh and I ensured that we were back in action as quickly as possible,' Bird, who officiated in 66 Tests and 69 ODIs, said, adding: 'My era also had some great characters, but we still got going without (much trouble).'

'Don't know where it comes from..': Ravindra Jadeja snubbed umpire at Lord's, claims commentators post match
Ravindra Jadeja The third Test between India and England was full of dramas, tensions and aggression both on and off the field. The five days Test between the two teams was a very high-profile game, with both sides performing at their best. Despite this England secured a thrilling 22 runs victory over India at Lord's. The slow over rates have been a major story behind the Lord's Test and throughout the series. In the third Test, there were multiple interruptions again and again as the umpires would call for delays based on the state of the ball or individual players. Michael Atherton on Jadeja ignoring umpires at Lord's Former England batter Michael Atherton has highlighted concerns around the 'authority' of the umpire being challenged, highlighting an incident off-camera with India's Ravindra Jadeja as an alarming example. Atherton pointed at the current issuethe current issue of over-rates and if the on-field officials are now getting sidelined in important moments and losing the capability to manage players' behaviour. 'The focus is more on the umpires than the players, for the umpires to just get a grip. I don't know where the diminishing of umpires' authority comes from. Maybe it's the post-DRS thing,' Atherton, who is also a part of the broadcast team, told Sky Sports Cricket. 'Pre-DRS, the umpires were almost omnipotent. Since DRS, maybe that authority has just withered away. There was one point where Jaddu was having a drink, and the umpire was pointing towards the watch and was telling him to get on with it. And he just completely ignored him!' said Atherton 'So I think there's room for the game to be sped up a bit, without compromising the quality.' Atherton added It's unclear whether Atherton was talking about the first or second innings, but Jadeja contributed considerably for the bat during the Lord's Test where his unbeaten 61 contributed significantly to bring the end of the third Test to an exciting conclusion when he managed to get India moving in its fightback while he was batting with the tail in its chase of 193 runs. Do-or-Die Tests awaits for India in Manchester Coming to the match India was chasing down the target of 193 runs in a unstable situation at 71/5. Jadeja played a calm and composed knock and built a couple of partnerships with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah, which kept India's hopes alive. Eventually, he also took the responsibility to score runs alongside No. 11 Mohammed Siraj, but sadly Siraj walked out too soon and India had to suffer a heartbreaking defeat. Shubman Gill-led India now must win the fouth Test match in Manchester to keep their series win hopes alive with England leading the five Test series 2-1. Team India had its first training session in Manchester on Thursday.

Ravindra Jadeja Accused Of 'Ignoring' Umpire During Lord's Test In Explosive Remark
Former England cricket team skipper Michael Atherton accused Ravindra Jadeja of ignoring the on-field umpire during the Lord's Test against England. Atherton pointed out the diminishing 'authority' of the umpires in modern cricket and cited the incident involving Jadeja as a concerning example. Atheron said that there was a point in the game when Jadeja was having a drink and although the umpire gestured towards him to continue play, he allegedly ignored his instruction. However, Atherton did not clearly state at what point of the match did the incident take place during the encounter. 'The focus is more on the umpires than the players, for the umpires to just get a grip. I don't know where the diminishing of umpires' authority comes from. Maybe it's the post-DRS thing,' Atherton, who is also a part of the broadcast team, told Sky Sports Cricket. "Pre-DRS, the umpires were almost omnipotent. Since DRS, maybe that authority has just withered away. There was one point where Jaddu was having a drink, and the umpire was pointing towards the watch and was telling him to get on with it. And he just completely ignored him!" 'So I think there's room for the game to be sped up a bit, without compromising the quality.' There were multiple incidents during the Lord's Test that raised questions over the umpires' authority. The encounter was filled with instances of players sledging the batter with the spat between Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley grabbing the headlines. The umpires also came under the scanner for slow over rates for both teams as ex-cricketers urged the officials to step in and take charge of the situation. Maintaining a slow over-rate during their pulsating 22-run win over India in the Test cost England two points from their World Test Championship (WTC) tally and 10 per cent fine of their match fee. A statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) said as per Article 16.11.2 of the WTC playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short, and after time allowances were taken into consideration.
