Cricket Australia on Sunday (January 10) said that they are awaiting the results of an ICC investigation into the crowd trouble at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Cricket Australia apologised to the India team on Sunday after visiting players alleged they had been racially abused by part of the crowd during the third test at Sydney Cricket Ground.
In the second match of the Ireland Tour Of United Arab Emirates 2021, Ireland will be aiming to bounce back after losing the first match against UAE by six wickets. This series is a four-match tournament between the two sides. The first match was played on January 8, the second will take place on January 10 and the third and four fixtures will be held on January 12 and January 14, respectively.
Former Australian cricketers Mike Hussey and Shane Warne have come down hard on crowd racism after allegations that Indian fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were racially abused by the crowd during the ongoing third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Bumrah, Siraj and Indian team management were seen in lengthy discussion with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and SCG ground security after Saturday's play and soon after reports emerged the pair believed they had been the victims of racist abuse from the crowd on the second and third day of the Pink Test.
The oneday international (ODI) between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ireland has been postponed after a UAE player tested positive for the novel coronavirus on Saturday, officials from both countries said.
A day after India officially lodged a complaint of racial abuse against Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah with the ICC, spectators were asked to leave the ground with the Hyderabad pacer was once again subjected to crowd trouble on day four of the 3rd Test during the second session. Subsequently, the play was stopped briefly.
While some would have hoped for an India comeback at the start of day four of the Sydney Test against Australia, the visitors, despite creating a lot of chances, could not convert them into wickets. It was just the second ball of the day, and Jasprit Bumrah got Marnus Labuschagne to play on the up, towards square leg.
With Australia well on course to set a massive target for India to win the third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the visitors face an uphill task to save this Test and stop the hosts from heading into the final Test at Brisbane with a 2-1 lead. Batting on Day 3 and Day 4 at the SCG has been a tricky affair so far, with uneven bounce.
Brisbane Heat defeated Sydney Sixers by four wickets in their previous match on January 2. In terms of performance, there is only a difference of one win between the two teams. Sixers have five wins and 21 points to their credit. However, in their latest match, the team were on the losing end against Perth Scorchers. Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, have been on the winning side of three consecutive matches. The team in their last match defeated Melbourne Stars making their total point score 16.
Brisbane Heat have been on the winning end of their last three matches in the Big Bash League 2020-21. In their upcoming match against Sydney Sixers, they will be eyeing their fourth victory in a go. The Big Bash League 2020-21, Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat match is scheduled for Sunday, January 10 at the Metricon Arena. The game will begin at 1:45 PM IST.
Ameya Sports have been in a terrible form as they only have one win to their credit. The only match that the team won was the first match of the series which they played against Heron Sports on January 4. As a result, the team are placed on the last spot of the league table with only two points. In their latest match, the team lost to Sheen Sports by 27 runs.
As Queensland went another day with zero Covid-19 cases, former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has said that Indians are just making excuses to avoid finishing the series in Brisbane. India had earlier expressed their reluctance to travel to the venue due to the rise in Covid cases in the state.
Apart from the obvious difference in the fast bowling quality of the two countries with India severely hampered by injuries to three of their pace quartet, the other thing which has separated the two teams is the intent shown by their middle order.
India's Ravindra Jadeja has dislocated his left thumb, the team said on Sunday, making it highly unlikely that the allrounder will play any further part in the third test against Australia.
Half centuries to Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith lifted Australia to 1824 at lunch on day four, giving the hosts a lead of 276 runs in the third cricket Test against India.
India may not have an XI to field in the 4th Test in Brisbane. Such has been the injury-prone tour to Australia in 2020-21, that India have now lost 5 key players due to injury either before or during the series.
Ravi Shastri had come out in the second innings on the 10th of January, 1985. He hammered his way to his half-century off just 42 deliveries in 38 minutes smashing three sixes and four boundaries. His hundred came in 71 minutes facing 80 balls.
India's Ravindra Jadeja has dislocated his left thumb, the team said on Sunday, making it highly unlikely that the allrounder will play any further part in the third test against Australia.
In what seems like an end to an impasse between the BCCI and Cricket Australia over playing the 4th Test at Brisbane, India have agreed to play the fourth Test starting January 15 in Queensland, but have asked CA to arrange the immediate departure of the team after the Test ends.
Big-hitting West Indian batsman Chris Gayle, star Afghan spinner Rashid Khan and veteran South African fast bowler Dale Steyn are among some of the top international players included in the Pakistan Super League Players' Draft which will take place in Lahore on Sunday.
The second ODI between Ireland and the United Arab Emirates has been postponed due to a third player from the UAE testing positive for Covid-19. The match will now be held on January 16 in Abu Dhabi.
Baroda vice-captain Deepak Hooda has left the team hotel and the bio-secure bubble in Vadodara a day ahead of the start of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021, accusing captain Krunal Pandya of 'bullying' and 'misbehaving' with him.The MCU has a well documented track record using an intense diet and fitness regimen to turn its actors into something resembling the implausibly jacked comic book counterparts of the characters they portray. One of the latest to come out the other side of such a regime, though, Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani, has been on the receiving end of steroid use accusations.
Prior to joining the MCU, it wouldn’t be uncharitable to suggest that Nanjiani was not in the best of shape. He was most well known for a variety of comedic roles, primarily in TV shows Franklin & Bash and Silicon Valley, such parts being where actors not fitting into American media’s absurdly narrow standards of conventional attractiveness often find acceptance (which leads to a whole other conversation that I don’t have the time or space to go into).
Now, fans have leapt to his defense and pointed out the double standard at play, making their thoughts on the reason for the claims more than clear.

Kumail Nanjiani gets jacked for Eternals: “He’s clearly using steroids”
I can’t qwhite see what’s the difference.

Henry Cavill was able to get HUGE for man of steel without steroids. He has said this publicly.
So it’s impossible that Kumail Nanjiani had the same result from hard work and exercise? And Cavill looks slightly larger than Nanjiani at 1 point?
Sounds like racism is afoot. pic.twitter.com/NagaC7nPjN

Chris Pratt can bulk up for a marvel movie and everyone is cool with is.
Kumail Nanjiani does it and people call him “grotesque” and assume he’s using steroids.
I hate it here. pic.twitter.com/9LSfvreUtc

Kumail Nanjiani gets canceled for bulking up for a superhero movie and people claiming his using steroids..
But in the same breath they fawn over all the Chrises for setting the standard of male bodies and praise them for looking buff?
Qwhite interesting. pic.twitter.com/tKf72OWBqD

Look, the fact that Marvel (and most movie studios, really) expect their stars to get and stay really ridiculously buff is something worth interrogating – but body shaming Kumail Nanjiani by staying he’s “on steroids” is…well, it’s not a good look.

Anyone wanna talk about how we're so eager to lather people like Chris Evans and Chris Pratt for getting beyond jacked for movie roles, but once Kumail Nanjiani does it, it's grotesque and shame-worthy?

It's weird (and racist) that people are coming for Kumail Nanjiani and accusing him of taking steroids. Also he's been jacked for a few years now.
I'm just happy for him that he got the marvel gig and could now bend me like a folding chair if he wanted to.

seeing how much kumail nanjiani is being ridiculed & body shamed as he gets ready for his marvel role is really fucked considering white men in marvel are idolized & don't get asked if they're on steroids

people are seriously being hypocrites. chris evans, chris hemsworth and chris pratt balked up but when kumail nanjiani does it they assume steroids. seriously?
— Katie / let happiness reign in 2021 (@katieskrsgard) January 3, 2021
White people are making fun of Kumail Nanjiani, who is a Marvel Superhero, for getting in Marvel superhero mode.
And they’re throwing out steroids as the cause and doing this feigned “we say this out of concern” bit.

As several of the comments suggest with varying degrees of subtlety, many are of the opinion that the accusation is down to race, with the MCU’s other, distinctly less brown leading men having received no similar accusations regardless of transforming into even greater beefcakes.
It’s not as if Nanjiani’s buff final form was that sudden, either. After beginning his journey, he documented his progress on social media where his transformation was evident and gradual, and at the end when the official stills were published, he gave credit to the dieticians and personal trainers the studio provided him with to allow him to achieve it.
Even if he did use performance enhancers, it certainly won’t detract from his performance as Kingo, and when Eternals is released in November, we’ll get to see how his fitness translates to convincing as a superhero.
