Inspired by former India captain Sourav Ganguly and Australia spin legend Shane Warne, 48-year-old Martin Crowe on Thursday announced his return to first-class cricket in a bid to score the 320 runs he needs to touch a tally of 20,000.
Australian spin legend Shane Warne named the best batsmen he bowled to from each of the nine Test playing nations he faced during his career. As part of his commentary duties during the current Test series between England and Pakistan, Warne was asked to name the best batsmen he bowled to during his decorated 15-year career. Warne, on the expected lines, named Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara from India and West Indies respectively.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's wicket-keeping skills in the Test format has came under scrutiny yet again with former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe saying that the Indian captain has become a mere "stopper" due to burnout and attrition.
New Zealand have never appeared so well-united as they do currently. 'Individually and collectively, under Brendon McCullum's astute leadership, they seem a formidable lot.'
