Gavaskar questions England: Were Tendulkar and Anderson invited to trophy ceremony?
Batting great Sunil Gavaskar has questioned the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) over the organisation of the presentation ceremony following the five-Test series between England and India. Gavaskar asked whether Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson were not invited to the ceremony after the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy ended in a drew parallels with how he was excluded from the presentation when Australia won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year. The former India captain said it would have been fitting to have Tendulkar and Anderson, both of whom were in England at the time, present for the won the fifth and final Test at The Oval, outclassing England in a thrilling final day. England fell just six runs short after being set a target of 374. The hosts appeared on course for victory after centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brook in the final innings, but a dramatic collapse from 301 for 3 saw them bowled out for 367. Mohammed Siraj, with a five-wicket haul, and Prasidh Krishna rattled England on the morning of Day 5 when the visitors needed only 35 runs with four wickets in hand. "This was the first-ever series named after Sachin Tendulkar and Jimmy Anderson, two of cricket's greatest legends. One would have expected both to be present to hand the trophy to the two captains, especially since the series ended in a draw. To the best of one's knowledge, both were in England at the time. So, were they simply not invited?" Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar."Or was this similar to what happened in Australia earlier this year, when only Allan Border was asked to present the Border-Gavaskar Trophy because Australia had won the series? Since this England series was drawn, perhaps neither was asked to attend the presentation."Notably, Gavaskar was among those who questioned the renaming of the trophy from the Pataudi Trophy to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The batting legend also opined that the trophy should be named Tendulkar-Anderson, rather than backlash, the ECB announced that the winning captain would receive the Pataudi Medal, thereby ensuring the cricketing family's name remained associated with the high-profile series.'NOBODY FROM PATAUDI FAMILY WAS THERE'The Pataudi Medal was shared between Ben Stokes and Shubman Gill after the series ended in a draw. Gavaskar stated that the medal should be awarded to the Player of the Series rather than the winning captain."Mostly around the world, administrators are brought in to ensure profits and are quite good at it, but they may not have much knowledge about the history of the sport they are presiding over. So, these little gestures are not in their scheme of things. Nobody from the Pataudi family was there either, for the Pataudi Medal, which was to be presented to the winning team's drawn series showed how foolish this idea was of trying to make amends to the Pataudis by retiring the trophy named after them. Every time the series is drawn, the medal can't be presented, can it? Wouldn't it be better, therefore, to award the medal to the Man of the Series rather than the winning team's captain? And what if the captain himself had an ordinary series and little impact on the result?"If there had been a result and the Pataudi Medal had to be given to the Man of the Series, it would have been a tough choice, for both skippers were simply outstanding," he Gill won the Player of the Series award for his outstanding batting contribution. The Punjab batsman, in his maiden series as captain, scored 754 runs in 10 innings, breaking numerous records. Opposition coach Brendon McCullum named Gill as India's most valuable Harry Brook, and not Ben Stokes, was named England's Player of the Series. Stokes led his team admirably and bowled with great heart, taking 21 wickets in four matches. England missed Stokes' services in the final Test as the captain sat out due to a shoulder injury.- EndsYou May Also Like

Nasser Hussain Warns England: 'Bumrah Spell Will Go A Long Way To Winning...'
Last Updated: Nasser Hussain said Jasprit Bumrah's post-lunch spell on Day 3 at Headingley will be crucial in deciding the match's outcome. Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes Jasprit Bumrah's spell with the new ball, set to be delivered after lunch on Day 3 of the Tendulkar-Anderson first Test at Headingley Cricket Stadium, will be crucial and could determine the outcome of the match. On Day 2, Bumrah was at his lethal best, taking all three wickets that fell and consistently beating the bat and finding the outside edge. However, he did not claim a wicket in the first session of Day 3. Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj took the wickets of centurion Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes, respectively. 'This game is evenly poised. We are three overs away from the new ball, and we know who is going to take that. Whoever wins the Bumrah spell will go a long way to winning this Test," said Hussain on Sky Sports. Brook was nearly dismissed for a duck off Bumrah at the end of Day 2, but replays showed it was a no-ball. The right-handed batter, in his free-flowing best, earned another reprieve on 46 when Rishabh Pant dropped his catch off Ravindra Jadeja. Brook eventually reached his half-century off 65 balls, finishing the session at a counter-attacking 57 not out. Hussain praised Brook's aggressive approach against Bumrah in the first session on Day 3 and emphasised the importance of converting his 12th half-century into a century in front of his home crowd. 'You wondered whether England would see off Bumrah or go after him, and Brook went after him. Running down the pitch is one of his shots. He is world-class, but of his eight hundreds, only one has come in England. He would love to make that two on his home ground, kick on and make a really big score," he added.

1st Test: Bumrah's new-ball spell will go long way in deciding who wins, says Hussain

We are three overs from the new ball and we know who is going to take that. Whoever wins the Bumrah spell will go a long way to winning this Test,' said Hussain on Sky Sports. At lunch, England were 327/7. Brook was almost dismissed for naught off Jasprit Bumrah at the stroke of stumps on day two, as replays showed it was a no-ball, the right-handed batter was at his free-flowing best. He earned another reprieve when on 46, Rishabh Pant dropped his catch off Ravindra Jadeja, as Brook eventually reached his half century off 65 balls to end the session at a counter-attacking 57 not out.
