Ex-IND Coach Feels Harry Brook Has Tools To Be One Of England's Finest Batters But...
Brook played all five Tests against the Indian team in the 2025 edition of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and, with the help of two centuries and two fifties, scored 481 runs. In his first-ever Test series against the Indian team, Harry Brook played as a No. 5 batter for England and amassed a total of 481 runs in nine innings of five matches. He scored two centuries (158 and 111) and two half-centuries (99 and 53), and for his super show with the bat, he won the England Player of the Series award as well. Brook's batting performances in the home series against India impressed former India head coach Greg Chappell. In his column for ESPN Cricinfo, after the end of the fifth India-England Test at The Oval, Chappell praised Brook by saying that the 26-year-old right-handed batter from Yorkshire has the tools to be one of England's finest batters. Chappell praised Brook's range of shots and his confidence but also warned him by saying that he needs to avoid playing reckless cricket. 'Brook has the tools to be one of England's finest batters, arguably their most destructive, in the modern era – a worthy successor to Joe Root. He has time, range, confidence, and that rare gift of making batting look effortless. But cricket, particularly Test cricket, is not just about shot-making. It's about judgement. About recognising when the moment demands attack – and when it demands restraint," Chappell wrote in his column. 'Brook's dismissal at The Oval, with the game finely poised, was symptomatic of the conundrum that is facing the England setup. The 'Bazball" philosophy – of fearless, attacking cricket – has revitalised their Test side. But it cannot become an excuse to avoid doing the hard yards. At 301 for 3, all England needed was for one batter to hold his nerve. To absorb pressure. Brook went for the glory shot – and perished." top videos View All 'There's nothing wrong with positivity. But positive cricket doesn't mean reckless cricket. It means confident, calculated risk-taking. Brook is emerging, and he will learn. But to become the match-winner England need, he must embrace the grind along with the glamour. Root didn't become England's most prolific batter by always playing pretty strokes. He earned it with grit. Brook will need to do the same if he is to fulfil his vast potential," Chappell added. In the 374-run chase at The Oval, Brook scored 111 runs from 98 balls and added 195 runs for the fourth wicket with Joe Root (105 runs from 152 balls). But his dismissal in the third session triggered a shocking collapse, and the hosts went on to lose the match by six runs.

Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals says Q1 profit falls 30 pc
Last Updated: New Delhi, Aug 6 (PTI) Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals on Wednesday posted around 30 per cent fall in consolidated net profit to Rs 83 crore in June quarter of FY26, impacted by a decline in revenues from core business segments and 'shutdown". Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (GNFC), which is also into information and technology, had logged a net profit of Rs 118 crore in April-June 2024-25, the company said in an exchange filing. The net profit was also down sequentially compared to the earning of Rs 211 crore in January-March period of 2024-25 financial year. In the reporting quarter, the company's consolidated total income declined to Rs 1,751 crore from Rs 2,120 crore in the June quarter of 2024-25. Revenues from fertilizers came down to Rs 577 crore from Rs 701 crore, and that of chemicals to Rs 1,005 crore from Rs 1,304 crore in the year-ago period. Expenses were at Rs 1,646 crore as against Rs 1,963 crore a year ago. Meanwhile, the board of the company approved the re-appointment of Bhadresh Mehta as an Independent Non-Executive Director for the second term of three consecutive years, from September 27, 2025 to September 26, 2028, subject to the approval of shareholders of the company at the ensuing Annual General Meeting. In a separate statement, the company's Managing Director T Natarajan said, 'Lower volume availability has affected the revenue, both, for fertilizer and chemical. In case of chemical segment, tough market conditions prevailed for products like Aniline & TDI (Toluene Diisocyanate ) which affected the realisations." On Q-o-Q & Y-o-Y basis, shutdown impact weighed on operating results, he said. In case of urea, higher energy as compared to allowable energy widened losses whereas some of the chemicals faced margin erosion due to lower realisations.
