All the big numbers from Australia’s breathtaking chase against Scotland in Edinburgh
Sampath Bandarupalli04-Sep-202462 Balls remaining when Australia achieved their target of 155 against Scotland. This is the biggest win margin by balls in successful 150-plus chases in men’s T20Is. The previous-biggest margin was 43 balls, when Romania chased down 158 in 12.5 overs against Greece in 2021.Australia’s 62-ball win is also the joint-biggest in a 150-plus chase in all men’s T20s, equaling Sunrisers Hyderabad’s win against Lucknow Super Giants earlier this year while chasing 166.Related

The 155-run chase by Australia is also the highest to be achieved inside ten overs in men’s T20Is. Only two teams have successfully chased higher targets in ten or fewer overs in all men’s T20s.113 for 1 Australia’s total in the powerplay, the second-highest by any team in men’s T20Is where ball-by-ball data is available. The highest is Romania’s 116 for 0 in only 5.4 overs against Serbia in 2021.73* Travis Head’s score in the powerplay is the highest by any batter in men’s T20Is where ball-by-ball data is available. The previous highest was 67* by Paul Stirling against West Indies in 2020.16 Boundaries struck by Head during the powerplay, the most by a batter in men’s T20Is. He went past Colin Munro’s 14 boundaries against West Indies in 2018.Mitchell Marsh added 113 with Head at a run rate of 19.94•AFP/Getty Images97.5 Percentage of Head’s runs scored in boundaries (78 runs out of 80, with 12 fours and 5 sixes). It is the second-highest percentage of runs scored through boundaries in a 50-plus score in men’s T20Is. The highest is 98.04% by Mirza Ahsan, whose 51* for Austria against Luxembourg in 2019 included 50 boundary runs.24 Boundaries hit by Australia in the powerplay, including 14 in a row off the last 2.2 overs. These are the most boundaries hit by a team in a powerplay in men’s T20Is, surpassing the 21 by Romania against Serbia in 2021.The 24 boundary hits by Australia are also joint-most in men’s T20s, equalling Sunrisers Hyderabad’s feat against Delhi Capitals earlier this year.19.94 Run rate of the 113-run partnership between Head and Mitchell Marsh for the second wicket, which came in only 5.4 overs. It is the second-highest run-rate for a century stand in men’s T20Is, behind the 20.47 by Ramesh Satheesan and Taranjeet Singh, who put on an unbeaten 116 for the first wicket for Romania against Serbia in 5.4 overs.17 Balls Head needed for his fifty, the joint-fastest for Australia in men’s T20Is. Marcus Stoinis scored a 17-ball fifty against Sri Lanka in the 2022 T20 World Cup.
He’s not the hero the tournament was expected to uncover but 6ft 7in allrounder has been quietly integral for Manchester Originals
Matt Roller02-Sep-2022He bats, bowls and fields. He’s big, strong and powerful. He’s taken a wicket every nine-and-a-half balls, and hit a six every eight. He even has a two-syllable nickname, but forget “Dre Russ”: the Hundred in 2022 has been all about “Tall Paul”.It was the signing of the season – one that you almost certainly missed. Manchester Originals in 2022 were meant to be the team of Jos Buttler, Andre Russell and Wanindu Hasaranga, but when Jamie Overton went down injured in a County Championship game on the eve of the season, they scoured the list of possible replacements and landed on Paul Walter.Walter’s defining quality is the fact he is tall: two metres tall, 6ft 7in tall, tall enough that it has never taken any processing time to work out why everyone who knows him calls him Tall Paul. When he bats, he looks like an overly-competitive dad wielding a size-three on the beach, or the only member of his Under-14s team who has already been through his growth spurt.Related

Evans powers Originals into Hundred final with 34-ball 72
Originals picked him up as a middle-order batter on the back of a strong T20 season for Essex comprising 404 runs, 144 of them in sixes. They might even have hoped to squeeze a few sets out of him: he had 29 wickets to his name in T20 cricket with his medium pace, though had only bowled one over in this year’s Blast.Late on Friday night, he will head up the M3 to London as the leading wicket-taker for one of the Hundred’s two finalists, his dozen wickets unrivalled across the Originals squad. Like a left-arm version of Jason Holder, he has bowled deceptively slowly, varying his pace from a high release point; in a four-week short-form competition, there is a huge value in novelty.Walter’s first ball in the Hundred was a 67mph, around-the-wicket, slower-ball bouncer that looped up apologetically off the Lord’s pitch. On a Saturday, club cricketers across the country would call it a filthy long-hop; Glenn Maxwell, playing for London Spirit, tried to swipe it over the Tavern Stand but was through his shot early.Somehow, he finished that night with 2 for 18 from his 20 balls. “I’ve not been injured,” he told Sky, when asked why he’d hardly bowled all season. “I’m just trying to regain a bit of form and get some confidence back.” It went largely unnoticed: Originals slid to the second of three consecutive defeats, and all the Hundred’s social channels wanted you to worry about was the fact Harry Kane had tossed the coin.Three-and-a-half weeks later, against the same opposition, it was Walter who restricted Spirit to 150 for 7 in Originals’ five-wicket win in the eliminator at the Ageas Bowl. The left-arm-around angle was back in action: he cranked it up to 79mph to knock Zak Crawley’s middle stump out of the ground with a reluctant thud, had Ben McDermott caught in the deep with a tantalisingly slow short ball, then had Eoin Morgan caught when he charged down looking to slap a half-volley over mid-off.Walter has been one of the unlikely stars of Manchester Originals’ run to the final•ECB/Getty ImagesOn Wednesday night, in Originals’ effective quarter-final, he had his most hectic evening of all: he took a blinder catch at deep backward square leg, then came on to bowl feeling dazed after jarring his right shoulder while diving at long-on; he twice dislocated his shoulder during his only set of the night, which featured a 56mph offcutter, then shook himself off, hit the crucial six in the chase and scrambled through for the winning single.After their first three defeats, Walter nominated himself as Originals’ social secretary. It was a moment that Laurie Evans, their stand-in captain, pinpointed as the turning point in their season: he bought a few beers, lightened the mood in a tense dressing room, and has personified a six-game winning streak since.”He’s a socialite,” Tom Lammonby said. “He’s one of those blokes that’s so good for a team: he’s performing on the pitch but also helping us gel off it.” Evans was unequivocal: “He’s been the life and soul of this group.”Walter was not the hero – Cazoo Match or otherwise – that the ECB had expected to emerge from the Hundred: a 28-year-old allrounder from Basildon, picked up as a late-bloomer by Essex through his performances for Billericay and Hornchurch in league cricket. But as the world’s best have left the competition in a constant stream towards Heathrow’s departure lounge, he has become this season’s most unlikely superstar.The Hundred’s incessant culture war has raged on through its second season: on one side, it is “action-packed, unmissable” best vs best action that “will put you on the edge of your seat”; on the other, it is Everything Wrong With Modern Cricket™, mercenaries dressed as crisp packets providing something between light entertainment, teleshopping and background noise.Somewhere through this online battlefield, Walter has emerged and stripped the game back to its most basic principles. He has met a new group of team-mates, eased into their company over a few drinks, swung hard and bowled to a plan. He is the Hundred’s everyman, thrust onto the big stage and making himself feel at home.On Saturday night, he will play in a Lord’s final on free-to-air TV. And if he can smoke a few sixes into the stands with those long, long levers, or land that slow, slow offcutter just right, it will be Tall Paul dancing around north London with a trophy for company.
The 1992 World Cup semi-final could have had an entirely different hero
Karthik Krishnaswamy01-May-2020The scorecard of the 1992 World Cup semi-final between New Zealand and Pakistan would suggest Chris Harris had an ordinary match: 13 runs at No. 6, and figures of 1 for 72 in ten overs. He took the bulk of the punishment – 25 off 13 balls – from the eventual Player of the Match, Inzamam-ul-Haq, and was at the receiving end of the six and the four that Moin Khan hit, off successive balls, to seal victory for Pakistan.Don’t be fooled, though. Harris was a central figure for New Zealand, a man whose performance could – and perhaps should – have hauled them into their first World Cup final.In an alternate universe, Harris would be remembered for playing a similar role to Viv Richards in the 1975 final, effecting the run-outs that turned the match.In an alternate universe, Steve Bucknor, the square-leg umpire, would have raised his finger when Harris swooped from cover point like a bird of prey, picked up the ball, and flicked it underarm, all in the same motion, to hit the stumps direct at the striker’s end with Javed Miandad stretching to make his ground. Replays showed Miandad clearly short of his crease, even if there was only an inch in it. He had faced five balls at that stage, and scored one run. If he’d been given out, Pakistan would have been 86 for 3, needing a further 177 to win off 161 balls.As it happened, there was no way for Bucknor to give Miandad out based on what he saw from square leg in the hurly-burly of live action, with no recourse to slow-motion replays. Batsmen inevitably – and rightly – get the benefit of doubt in those situations.Miandad would go on to steer Pakistan to victory with a typically crafty 57 not out from 69 balls, shepherding the youthful Inzamam and Moin, constantly offering them advice from his end.Harris could have run Miandad out for 1. Harris did run Inzamam out for 67, when Miandad tapped the ball towards him at extra-cover and called for an unwise single. And Harris could have run Moin out too, in the closing stages, when the match was still alive.Harris had just kept Miandad to a single by quickly closing down a square drive at deep point. With Moin now on strike, John Wright, New Zealand’s stand-in captain, moved him to midwicket. With Pakistan needing 16 off 16 balls, New Zealand pushed their inner-ring fielders close to the bat, to crowd the new man and try to keep him on strike. There were three fielders in a tight ring saving one on the off side, but only one on the leg side. New Zealand put their best fielder there.When Moin flicked Danny Morrison’s next ball out of the blockhole, it was almost inevitable that Harris would appear in its path, springing diagonally to his right to effect a one-handed, single-denying pick-up, which segued into a flick-throw that hit the stumps direct. Once again, replays showed that the hurriedly backtracking Moin was narrowly but perceptibly short of his crease when the bails came off.As with the previous incident, it was impossible for the square-leg umpire to give the batsman out. The evidence of the replays was clear enough, though, and it feels unfair that the multitude of camera angles that now bring a nearly 360-degree view of the field to millions of viewers, and the slow-motion replays that allow them to dissect the action with unprecedented precision, aren’t available to the match officials.Run-outs and stumpings are, by definition, binary: a line divides out from not out. Unlike lbw, there is no subjectivity involved with line calls, and there should be no reason why cricket, at the top level at least, should not employ video umpires to judge them.These decisions can change matches and tournaments, and change the way we remember them. In years to come, you’ll associate this World Cup with the image of a flying Jonty Rhodes running Inzamam out at the Gabba. Just make sure you don’t forget Chris Harris at Eden Park.Postscript: Video umpires came into effect by the end of the year, and the first Test of India’s 1992-93 tour of South Africa, in Durban, was the first international match to feature the third umpire. Cyril Mitchley was the first on-field umpire to send a run-out appeal “upstairs”, where Karl Liebenburg made the historic decision to give Sachin Tendulkar out.
Alejandro Garnacho has described his £40 million ($53m) transfer to Chelsea as a "step forward" while insisting he has no regrets about the acrimonious end to his Manchester United career. The 21-year-old, who was once regarded as one of the brightest prospects at Old Trafford, was allowed to leave in August after falling out of favour under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Man Utd's negotiations with Chelsea
Chelsea initially attempted to structure the transfer as a player-plus-cash deal, offering Romeo Lavia as part of the package. While the Blues were willing to reduce the overall fee if United accepted the 21-year-old midfielder in return, the proposal was rejected. United, aware of Lavia’s persistent fitness problems since joining Chelsea from Southampton, felt he could not be relied upon to strengthen a midfield already low on durability. They instead pushed for a straight cash agreement and eventually bid farewell to Garnacho, as revealed by

Garnacho speaks ahead of Champions League clash
Garnacho addressed reporters in Bergamo ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League meeting with Atalanta. Calm, composed and unapologetic, the Argentine winger made it clear that the decision to move was deliberate and necessary.
Asked if he regretted how his United story ended, with public criticism of Amorim leading to his exile from the first team squad, he responded with a blunt "No". When pressed on whether he felt sadness, he again replied: "No."
Expanding on his switch to Chelsea, he said: "I came here to play my football, to show people the player I am. Sometimes in life, you have to change things to maybe take a step forward or to improve as a player. It was the right moment, and also the right club, so it was an easy decision.
"The most important thing is confidence. He (Enzo Maresca) speaks with me every week. We are going to get better, me as a player and the team together, with time. We started the season three months ago, so it’s building confidence."
Chelsea boss Maresca went on to offer his assessment of Garnacho's first few months at Stamford Bridge: "He can give much more, but not only Alejandro. I think all the players, we try to work every day with them, just to try to improve them. It's been quite easy to work with him, in terms of he wants to learn, he's open-minded, he's working good on the ball and off the ball. And then again, some games he's better, some games he tries a little bit more. But overall he's doing well with us."
Maresca wary of Atalanta's rigorous man-marking
Maresca also delivered a stern warning to his players about Atalanta's intense defensive system.
He said: "You can see most of the teams play five at the back, most of the teams try to play man-to-man everywhere. If you go to the toilet, they follow you everywhere."
Cole Palmer did not travel with the squad, with the club mindful of his delicate fitness situation. The England international has managed just six appearances this season after battling multiple setbacks. Chelsea are determined not to rush him into a congested schedule he is currently ill-equipped to handle.
"We need to protect Cole for sure, 100%. Not only Cole in my personal view because as I said now because of the Club World Cup or because we never stop, we need to manage and protect different players," Maresca added. "He's not available. He can’t play two games in a row in three days so we've planned this and it's a way to protect him. [He] played half an hour the other day, played one hour today. So now it's important that he can build the physical condition."

Stobo the first injury replacement under CA’s new trial rule after Abbott split the webbing on his right hand while fielding in his follow through

Sean Abbott was the first man subbed out for an injury in Shield cricket•Getty Images
New South Wales seamer Sean Abbott became the first player to be subbed out of a Sheffield Shield match for an injury other than concussion under Cricket Australia’s new trial rule after he split the webbing in his right hand while fielding a ball off his own bowling on the opening day against Victoria at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.Charlie Stobo was subbed in as the first-ever injury replacement player under the new rule that is being trialed across the first five rounds of the 2025-26 Sheffield Shield competition.Abbott, who is among the contenders to be part of Australia’s extended Ashes squad if Pat Cummins is ruled out of the early part of the series, split the webbing in his right hand while stopping a firmly struck straight drive from Victoria batter Peter Handscomb in the 43rd over of the opening day.Related

Abbott left the ground immediately, and team-mate Ryan Hadley completed the over. After being assessed in the rooms, New South Wales made an application to the match referee to have Abbott replaced by another bowler and that request was immediately granted.Stobo bowled his first over of the match immediately after tea having warmed up during the interval.Handscomb is not a fan of the new rule which CA hope will provide insights for the ICC who are considering subs for international cricket.”Not really,” he said after play on Wednesday. “I think first-class cricket and Test cricket is a game of attrition. And if you pick a team and then you can just sub a bloke out halfway through, it takes that factor away.”This is a bloody hard game for four days, and you’ve got to keep backing up and fronting up and doing everything. So I’m all aboard the concussion sub. I think that’s a really good rule. But injuries are part of the game. I think unfortunately, you just kind of have to deal with them and they haven’t.”New South Wales fast bowler Liam Hatcher didn’t mind the new rule. “I’d much rather have Stobes in than be a man down, especially when you get a flat wicket and stuff that’s out of your control like that,” he said. “Yeah, I don’t mind it.”As part of the new rule, Victoria also now have the opportunity to make a tactical substitution of one like-for-like bowler if they feel they need to but can only do so before stumps on day two of the match.”That’s an interesting one, because we’ve got one free hit basically,” Handscomb said. “A bowler gets to bowl his heart out and then we can sub them out if we want to. But we’ve obviously gone into this game under the assumption that we’re going to use just the 11 players and everyone’s ready to go. We know how we can rotate our bowlers through.”We’ve got four seamers and a spinner. Unless something really drastic happens, I’m not sure we’ll be using it and we’ll just be backing in the guys that we picked first up.”The injury to Abbott is untimely. He had missed out on Australia’s ODI squad to face India in part to give him the chance to play a rare first-class game to press his Ashes case before being part of Australia’s T20I squad.As part of the injury substitution rule, Abbott has to undergo a mandatory 12-day non-playing period from the start of day three of the match he was subbed out of, which is October 17, before being allowed to play again. It means he would still be available for Australia’s first T20I against India in Canberra on October 29 provided his hand has recovered in time. But if he was not in the T20I squad he would not have been eligible to play in New South Wales’ next Shield game against Queensland which starts at the Gabba on October 28.”He’s got a few stitches in it, but I think he’s fine,” Hatcher said.Abbott had bowled very impressively in the first session on day one at the Junction Oval in seam-friendly conditions. He picked up the wicket of Victoria opener Harry Dixon caught behind. He also ruffled Handscomb with some hostile short balls with one gloved over the keeper and another glancing off his shoulder and helmet.
Tottenham Hotspur are back in action in the Premier League this weekend as they prepare to welcome London rivals Fulham to North London on Saturday night.
Spurs are looking to bounce back from successive defeats to Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in their last two games, losing 5-3 to the French giants in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Lilywhites have not won in the Premier League since they beat Everton 3-0 at the end of October, with one win in six in all competitions since, which is why it is so important for Thomas Frank’s team to win this weekend.
They will have to get one over Fulham in order to do so, though, and it is a club that they have many connections to through players who have played for both.
Ranking Fulham players who have played for Spurs since 2010
Counting all players who played for Spurs since 2010, there have been ten players who either played for Fulham before or after their time in North London.
Perhaps most notably, given that Dimitar Berbatov left Tottenham in 2008, is central midfielder Mousa Dembele, who played 240 matches for Spurs between 2012 and 2018, after signing directly from the Cottagers.

Ryan Fredericks
As you can see in the table above, academy players like Ryan Fredericks and Josh Onomah rank at the bottom, with several less notable Spurs players before the top four.
It is hard to say anyone other than Dembele should be at the top, given that the Belgian star, renowned for his ability on the ball, is the only player on the list to play more than 100 games for the club, with 240, per FBref.
He was once ‘irreplaceable’ for Spurs, as shown in the post above from 2018, and Frank can unearth his own version of the midfielder by playing Lucas Bergvall on Saturday night.
Why Lucas Bergvall could be Tottenham's next Mousa Dembele
One of Dembele’s most notable attributes during his time with Spurs was his dribbling. Speaking about his former international teammate, Youri Tielemans once said: “His dribbling was amazing, you just couldn’t take the ball off him.”
Chalkboard
Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.
He was brilliant at carrying the ball up the pitch from the middle of the park, and Bergvall is a central midfielder who can offer similar qualities for Spurs in the present day.
Per FBref, the Sweden international ranks within the top 9% of his positional peers in the Big 5 Leagues and European competitions over the last 365 days for progressive carries per 90 (2.30) and the top 2% for successful take-ons per 90 (1.55).
This shows that he is one of the most productive dribblers among central midfielders in Europe, which is why he could develop into being Frank’s own version of Dembele in the middle of the park.
Bergvall, like the Belgian, does not carry a huge goal threat, having scored once in the Premier League this season, but he can get the team up the pitch with his ability to drive forward with the ball at his feet.
The Swedish star, who was dubbed a “generational talent” by the club’s head of scouting Rob Mackenzie, started as part of a box midfield against PSG earlier this week, but playing further up the pitch ahead of Archie Gray and Rodrigo Bentancur restricted how much he could drive from deep.
Therefore, unleashing him in a midfield three against Fulham on Saturday could allow him to provide supporters of both teams with a reminder of a player who once starred for them.

Chelsea have had their ups and downs over the past decade, but the strength of the Cobham academy has remained a satisfying constant throughout.
Whether talented hopefuls are integrated into the Stamford Bridge set-up or sold for pure profit, it’s a model that has served Chelsea well and has bred trophy-winning success with comparative consistency.
Chelsea captain Reece James
Enzo Maresca demonstrated throughout the first year of his tenure a willingness to promote youth. In fact, Chelsea fielded one of the youngest average line-ups in the Premier League last year, securing their place in the Champions League with a top-four finish.
That emphasis has carried into the new season, with the Londoners’ strategy seeing them field a younger average XI than any other team in the division.

This thread has only strengthened during Maresca’s second year in the dugout, with a few of England’s most talented rising stars under the Italian tactician’s wing.
Chelsea's next England stars
Chelsea don’t just promote internally; they sign exciting rising prospects too. And this summer, Jamie Gittens was added to the ranks, having been hailed as a “really sharp” and “electric” winger by his teammate Tyrique George.
George, for that matter, is another of the Blues’ most exciting young players, having graduated from Cobham to make his professional debut at the start of last season, featuring against Servette during Chelsea’s Conference League qualifiers.
The duo have struggled for minutes in Maresca’s team so far this term, but they have showcased an intriguing partnership on international duty with England U21 over the past week, Gittens demonstrating his balletic movement to slide past defenders and play through the 19-year-old George, who rifled his strike into the roof of the net.
Gittens spent some time with Chelsea during his formative days, but the bulk of his development was played out at Reading.
There’s no question that the 21-year-old is a talented winger, but he hasn’t started as strongly as he might have liked after arriving from Borussia Dortmund for about £52m in July, having started only twice in the Premier League so far.
The teenage George is earlier in his development, but given that he started up top as Chelsea beat Benfica in the Champions League last month and replaced the injured Liam Delap just 16 minutes into Chelsea’s clash against Fulham at the end of August, with Gittens staying on the bench, it’s clear Maresca values him.
Both fleet-footed stars typically play off the left flank and have shown signs of potency at different stages, but the nature of Chelsea’s system suggests both could be superseded by an even bigger talent in the coming years. Indeed, there’s a new Cobham up-and-comer who’s storming his way to the first team.
Cobham's biggest English talent
One thing’s for sure: the Cobham production line will continue to churn out exciting prospects. And latest on the belt is Shumaira ‘Shim’ Mheuka, who, aged 17, is already demonstrating significant potential as a centre-forward.
Poached from Brighton & Hove Albion following impressive performances at U14 level, it has been reported that Mheuka is ‘one of if not the most regular’ academy players to train with Maresca’s first team, and all the pointers lead to further opportunities to showcase his potential within the senior Blues fold.
This season, the youngster has scored ten goals and assisted one more across just ten appearances for Chelsea’s U21 outfit, fast-tracked from the U18s to the club’s senior development side in age-belying fashion.
It bears testament to the rangy forward’s potential and the awe he has collected from observers already that he has played 32 times for the U21s, but only 24 times for the U18s. Again, he is 17 years old.
In fact, so exciting is Mheuka’s name that he has been described as “the future of Chelsea and English football” by talent scout Jacek Kulig, and it feels certain that he will start earning regular minutes in Maresca’s senior system.
Because, of course, Mheuka featured four times in the Conference League last year and made his Premier League debut as a late substitute against Southampton in February, during a 4-0 win.
Mheuka is tall, but he is also mobile and sharp when in possession and through his movement when on the ball. A devastating blend of physicality and technical ability marks the perfect profile for Maresca’s set-up, and he might just come to leapfrog over Gittens and George, especially with the latter earning opportunities as a central striker for club and country this season.
Instinctive in front of goal, the teenager is also maturing physically and ticking all the boxes as he looks to nail down a position in the Chelsea first team.
The youngness of Maresca’s project will not be lost on Mheuka and his representatives, nor the fact that he has already been entrusted with opportunities across the 2024/25 campaign.
Considered a leader by example more than a vocal enforcer, the fast-improving number nine is proving his worth at Chelsea, alright, and there’s every chance that his journey will take him up and up and beyond that of George and Gittens, who are fine players in their own right but are already encountering difficulties in breaking into the starting line-up at Chelsea.
Centre-forward has long been a contentious area of the field in west London, but Mheuka could be the long-term solution for a side returning to the very summit of English and European football.
After Estevao: Chelsea have signed another "future Ballon d'Or winner"
Chelsea has another sublime youngster they’re ready to unleash, who could be as jaw-dropping to watch as Estevao.
Victor Robles led off the bottom of the first inning for the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. He was immediately hit in the hand on the very first pitch he saw. A few batters later he found himself standing on third base.
The bases were loaded and Justin Turner was ahead 3-0 on Luis Gil, who had already walked two batters and hit Robles in the inning. That's when Robles thought he caught Gil in a moment of distraction and took off for home.
Gil simply threw the ball to catcher Austin Wells who tagged Robles easily to end the inning.
Justin Turner, who again, was up 3-0 when this happened, was stunned. He just stood there watching Robles while the YES booth marveled at the foolishness of the decision.
Former Mariners pitcher Jeff Nelson was beside himself. "That makes zero sense," Nelson said. "You have a 3-0 count and you're going to try and steal home? Zero sense right there from the Mariners."
Michael Kay added, "Absolutely ridiculous. 3-0 and Justin Turner staring into the dugout as if to say, "
After the game manager Dan Wilson was a bit more diplomatic.
The good news for Robles is that the Yankees won 11-2 so even a big inning might not have mattered last night.
Hope and Carty also fired as West Indies posted 256 for 5, their second-highest T20I total, on their way to a 62-run win
ESPNcricinfo staff15-Jun-2025The sightscreen was punched, the trees were shaken, the crowd ran for cover, and the ball was lost. All this happened multiple times in Bready, as West Indies crashed 20 sixes on their way to 256 for 5, their second-highest total in the format. This despite scoring only 11 runs in their first two overs.Evin Lewis (91 off 44 balls), Shai Hope (51 from 27), and debutant Keacy Carty (49* off 22) led the way for West Indies, who beat Ireland by 62 runs to win the three-match series 1-0 after the first two games were washed out.Only twice before in the history of all T20 cricket had a higher total been successfully chased down, and despite a bright start, Ireland’s chase lost steam in the face of required-rate pressure.Paul Stirling hit the first three balls of Ireland’s innings for boundaries, and Ross Adair and Harry Tector added 101 for the second wicket. But Tector’s wicket in the 11th over sparked a collapse of 3 for 2, and Ireland faded away. Akeal Hosein recovered brilliantly from Stirling’s early assault to finish with 3 for 27 from his four overs.Harry Tector and Ross Adair added 101 for the second wicket•Sportsfile via Getty ImagesAfter West Indies were sent in, openers Lewis and Hope laid the perfect platform to push for a massive total. They smashed 70 in the powerplay, and of those six overs, left-arm spinner Matthew Humphreys’ two only went for seven runs.Humphreys bowled the first and the last overs of the powerplay, and in between, Lewis and Hope slapped Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy and debutant Liam McCarthy for six fours and five sixes.Both batters reached their half-centuries with sixes. While Lewis got to the landmark off 29 balls when he heaved Liam over deep square leg, Hope took only 24, launching Ben White down the ground.Barry broke the opening stand at 122 when he had Hope caught at long-on in the 11th over. Rovman Powell and Lewis followed soon after, as West Indies lost 3 for 30 in 11 balls. But there was no let-up in the scoring, as Carty carted four fours and four sixes in 22 balls, while Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder and Romario Shepherd provided sharp cameos. Of West Indies’ total of 256, 200 runs came in boundaries.Liam conceded 81 in his four overs, the most by a debutant in T20Is. Humphreys, on the other hand, stood out with figures of 2 for 16 in four overs. They could have been even better, if Tector had held on to a simple chance at deep cover in the eighth over, when Lewis was on 44. That miss ended up proving costly. Although he missed out on what would have been his third T20I hundred, he built the base for a comprehensive win.
