'Different World Cup': The crucial factor in MCG clash

Amid state-wide flooding as Victoria endures its wettest October on record, England's T20 World Cup campaign took a hit on account of the weather and a tactical blunder against Ireland that has further increased the stakes for Friday night's encounter at the MCG. "I think it's going to be a very different World Cup," Mott said. "Playing a T20 World Cup at this time of year, the weather is inevitable. QUICK SINGLE What Irish upset means for Aussies' Cup chancesOne slip-up in the group-stage of a World Cup in its current form can be, but is usually not, a death sentence. Not since the 2010 World T20 final in Barbados has as much been on the line for a match in this format between Australia and England.

Hard yards pay off for rising Stars allrounder Flintoff

While most of her state teammates were still enjoying a well-earned break following the end of the 2021-22 summer, Tess Flintoff was already back at the CitiPower Centre, grafting away. "That helps all facets of my game, but especially bowling, just to make sure that I've got an action that's repeatable. "Tessy Flintoff … she’s had a great crack, she walked into day one of off-season – not even preseason, off-season – and Wolf (Wareham) and I were there rehabbing," Molineux told The Scoop podcast last month. The Stars and Renegades will play their first game in Victoria in more than 1000 days on Saturday when they meet at Ballarat’s Eastern Oval. "I'd be lying if I said we weren't disappointed with how we’ve started in terms of where we are on the ladder," Flintoff said.

No rest at the wicket, as Smith again gets captaincy call-up

"I have to do it my own way, I can't try to be someone else," Smith said today. "It's Pat's team, so as soon as he came back out it's like 'it's all yours, go for it'," Smith said. Should the problem flare again, during the upcoming Test, Smith isn't sure who would take over the captaincy in his absence from the field as no formal replacement for him as vice-captain has been made. "It was nice to know from him if he was going to be out, I would be in. "When you're in such a good environment like this, and you get to bowl with guys in the nets like Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, you will always improve.

Aussie coach reflects on 'failed' Cup campaign

"For this World Cup, we felt those three bowlers – Mitch Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood – were the best suited to be part of the squad to navigate through the World Cup," McDonald said. "You saw Cameron Green go up the top of the order and that played out at the end of the World Cup. "The short turnaround (from last year's World Cup) lent itself to a similar squad," McDonald said. "But we'll go through what that looks like in terms of building towards the World Cup in 2024. "It's still a little bit raw on the back of a World Cup, but he's got some time to think about that.
