2015 क्रिकेट वर्ल्ड कप खिताब जीतने के बाद स्थानीय रेडियो को इंटरव्यू पर बढ़े विवाद के बाद ऑस्ट्रेलिया के विकेटकीपर ब्रैड हैडिन ने अपनी टिप्पणी के लिए माफी मांगते हुए कहा कि उनकी कोशिश किसी की भावनाओं को ठेस पहुंचाने की नहीं थी. ऑस्ट्रेलिया रविवार को मेलबर्न क्रिकेट मैदान (एमसीजी) पर न्यूजीलैंड को हराकर पांचवीं बार वर्ल्ड कप खिताब जीतने में कामयाब रहा. हैडिन ने इसके बाद सोमवार को सिडनी रेडियो स्टेशन से बात की. मैच के दौरान मार्टिन गप्टिल और ग्रांट इलियट के आउट होने के बाद उन्हें पवेलियन लौटने का इशारा करने वाले हैडिन से जब रेडियो इंटरव्यू में इस बारे में पूछा गया तो उन्होंने कहा, ‘कीवी इसी लायक हैं. जब हम न्यूजीलैंड में थे तो उन्होंने ऐसा ही व्यवहार किया था.’ हैडिन यहीं नहीं रूके. उन्होंने कहा, ‘मैंने टीम की बैठक में यह कह दिया था कि मैं इस प्रकार खेलना जारी नहीं रख सकता. अगर फाइनल में हम हारते तो मैं एकदिवसीय क्रिकेट छोड़ देता.’ हैडिन के इन बयानों की बाद में मीडिया के कुछ वर्गों में आलोचना हुई थी. मंगलवार को क्रिकेट ऑस्ट्रेलिया (सीए) की वेबसाइट पर जारी बयान में हालांकि हैडिन ने क

With Team India's loss in the ICC World Cup semifinal against Australia on Thursday, head coach Duncan Fletcher's (L) association with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and company came to an end. (Photo: AFP) Mumbai:  With Team India's loss in the World Cup's semifinal against Australia on Thursday, coach Duncan Fletcher's association with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and company came to an end. "Duncan Fletcher is not seeking the renewal and the board is also not offering him the fresh contract,” said a senior Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official. Fletcher is likely to return to South Africa. "The process for the new coach will begin soon,” he added. BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur – who went to Australia to catch the World Cup match – is supposed to have a conversation with Fletcher. "I am yet to speak to Fletcher on these lines. The board will decide about his future. The team has left for India. I am not sure whether Fletcher has stayed back,” sa

AUSSIES ROLL OVER INSIPID NEW ZEALAND  

MELBOURNE , Australia, CMC – Australia crushed New Zealand by seven wickets to claim their fifth ICC Cricket World Cup, in a hugely lopsided affair at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that had been hyped as blockbuster. opting to bat first, the Black Caps slumped to 39 for three in the 13th over and despite a brief recovery, could only muster a disappointing 183 all out off 45 overs. Middle order batsman Grant Elliott top scored with 82 off 83 deliveries and Ross Taylor got 40 from 72 balls but they were the only batsmen to pass 15 as the much vaunted Kiwi batting juggernaut faltered badly. Left-armer Mitchell Johnson (3-30) and fellow seamer James Faulkner (3-36) both finished with three wickets apiece while another left-armer, Mitchell Starc, claimed two for 20, to pick up the Man-of-the-Series honours. Left with a paltry target to chase in front their home crowd, the Aussies made light work of the task, cruising to victory in the 34th over behind half-centuries from captain Michae

Black Caps prevail in Eden Park epic

Stunning late spell from Starc not enough as Kiwis chase 152 with one wicket in hand Mitchell Starc bowled Australia to within an inch of an unbelievable victory as to turn what appeared a comfortable New Zealand run chase into a heart-stopping World Cup epic. Kane Williamson blasted a six down the ground from Patrick Cummins to complete a one-wicket win – with an incredible 26.5 overs left in the contest. Trent Boult's five wickets orchestrated a stunning Australian collapse and Brendon McCullum blasted a belligerent 21-ball half-century that looked set to hand Australia a chastening World Cup thumping and blow Pool A wide open. But Starc typified Australia's never-say-die attitude with 6-28 from nine overs to put Australia within sight of what would have been a memorable victory. Starc bowls Elliott // AFP   As it was, Williamson was the hero for 40,000 Eden Park faithful, his first six the match-winner in an unbeaten 45. Mitchell Johnson suffered at
