  Adam Gilchrist’s reaction on rishabh pant 100 Pant would fall in the next over after attempting to swipe Anderson through mid-wicket, but the damage had been done, and India had taken control of the series — and a place in the World Test Championship final — as they finished the day with an 89-run lead. After joining the Australian legend as the only wicketkeepers to score centuries in India, Australia, and England, several similarities were made between the Indian and Adam Gilchrist. Gilchrist was one of the first to express his gratitude. Here are the tweets of Adam Gilchrist Rishabh Pant tweet Rishabh Pant described his strategy as straightforward. “I like to play the scenario, and all I have to do is see the ball and react,” he said. “The team’s strategy was to reach 206, pass England’s total, and then score as many runs as possible.” Pant was “more than willing” to fill the gap left by former captain and wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s retirement from international cric...

    HALF-TIME: The Knights tie the game after a poor start. After falling behind 18-0, the Knights clawed their way back into the game against the Cowboys by halftime, aided by two sin binnings. Frizell’s loose arm was binned by Taumalolo. It’s a clash of titans! Jason Taumalolo was sent to the bench for a loose arm that clipped Knights star Tyson Frizell high across the face, the latest punishment under the league’s new foul play policy. As blood poured from his noise, Frizell was left a bloodied mess, and Taumalolo was promptly thrown out. “A broken nose for Tyson, that was a high tackle from Taumalolo,” said league legend Billy Slater on the sidelines. “He’s opened up here Frizell,” said caller number nine Peter Psaltis. The Knights didn’t need another chance to get back into the game, as they capitalised on their extra man to score their second try of the night. The Cowboys’ woes were compounded minutes later when Lachlan Burr accompanied Taumalolo to the bin, leaving the ...

  The shot put vector at Eugene’s new Hayward Field extends about 25 metres (82 feet) from the athletes’ launch point circle. And, in front of a partisan crowd on Friday night, Oregon native Ryan Crouser nearly threw beyond the vector. Crouser, the reigning Olympic gold medalist, threw the 16-pound ball 23.37 metres in his fourth and sixth throws, breaking the world record (76 feet, 8.25 inches). He broke fellow American Randy Barnes’ record of 23.12 metres (75-10) set in May 1990. Crouser, 28, has been chasing the record this spring after setting a new indoor world record in January (22.82m, 74-10.5). He had a throw of 23.01m last month, the third-longest ever and the farthest since Barnes’ record-breaking throw. Crouser knew it was a special throw the moment it left his hand, raising his arms over his head in celebration even as he finished his spin and exited the circle. Earlier in the day, in the preliminary round, his first throw of 22.92m (75-2.2) broke the American Olympic T...
