Steve Smith Reclaims No.1 Position in MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings

Steve Smith ICC Rankings

Australia batsman Steve Smith has reclaimed the No.1 position in the MRF Tyres ICC Men’s Test Player Rankings for the first time since the Boxing Day Tests last year.

Steve Smith takes over from New Zealand captain Kane Williamson, who is set to lead his team in the ICC World Test Championship Final against India at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton from Friday.

Williamson, who missed the second Test against England at Edgbaston due to injury after scoring 13 runs in the drawn first Test at Lord’s, has slipped five points behind Smith’s 891 rating points and is second in the batters’ list.

This means that Smith has been at the top for 167 Tests played worldwide in total, only behind Garry Sobers (189 matches) and Viv Richards (179 matches).

Matt Henry’s player of the match performance (three wickets in each innings) has lifted him to a career-best 307 points and 64th position while Ajaz Patel too is at a career-high points tally of 323. Devon Conway continues his good run and is in joint-61st position.

[amazonad category=”Electronics”]

England’s second innings total was their lowest against New Zealand at home but Dan Lawrence’s first innings unbeaten 81 has lifted him up 16 places to a career-best 396 points.

The latest men’s weekly update, which also includes performances from the first Test between South Africa and the West Indies in St Lucia, sees Quinton de Kock in joint-12th position with Cheteshwar Pujara while his compatriot Adrian Markram has advanced two slots to reach 14th position.

De Kock, who was named player of the match for scoring an unbeaten 141 that helped his team win by an innings and 63 runs, has gained 11 positions to attain his highest position since December 2019.

South Africa’s pace bowlers too have made rapid strides after the huge win.

Formerly top-ranked Kagiso Rabada has gained two spots to reach the seventh place after a five-wicket haul in the second innings, Anrich Nortje is up into the top 30 for the first time in his career finishing with seven wickets in the match, while Lungi Ngidi is up 14 places to 44th position with a first-innings five-wicket haul.

ENG vs IND: ECB Extends Apology For Laying Out used pitch for women’s Test

ECB apologized

The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has extended an apology for not being able to propose a fresh pitch for the women’s Test between India and England, starting on July 16 at the County Ground in Bristol.

“We are all disappointed that the wicket for the LV= Insurance Test match against India will have had 37 overs played on it. We know that England Women deserve a fresh wicket and we are sorry that we were unable to provide that in this instance,” ECB said.

The cricket board added, “With the Test only being added to the calendar in mid-April, coupled with the lack of available first-class grounds, we knew a fresh TV pitch was going to be a challenge. We accept that this issue shouldn’t have arisen and we will make sure it doesn’t happen in the future.”

However, this came after captain Heather Knight realized it wasn’t ideal to not get a fresh wicket for such a big occasion. “I guess it’s obviously not ideal,” Knight said.

[amazonad category=”Electronics”]

“We’d much prefer to be on a fresh one but it is what it is. And we don’t know how it’s going to play necessarily,” he added.

Knight went on to add, “We found out last week. We obviously tried to get it changed but it was a little bit too late for that to happen. It’s unfortunate but it still could play very well.”

Indian women’s team captain Mithali Raj, however, chose to stay mum.

“We’re here to play a match. Whatever strip we get, we try and get a result out of it,” he sidestepped the pitch talk.
