Brook and Jacks lead resurgent England into tri-series with World Cup in sight

Youngsters have licence to thrill in T20s, but it is time to get serious in ODIsThe kids have permission for the 20-over show. Thomas Rew, 18, could become the third‑youngest man to play for England. Eddie Jack, 21, has played seven T20s but the eighth could be for his country.Both will tour Australia next month as part of the squad for the shortest form, but they have not made the cut for the one-day international leg of the tour, spelling out the mission statement. With the 50-over World Cup less than a year away, ODIs are where England must, as Logan Roy might say, be serious people. Continue reading...

Elite-level incompetence is Manchester United’s problem – not Michael Carrick | Barney Ronay

Getting rid of Michael Carrick is not going to solve the problems that led to his appointment. Perhaps it’s worth, for once, doing something differentAt the final whistle at Elland Road the TV cameras cut to a lingering shot of Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada, looking down pensively from the stands, deciding, it is to be hoped, on a little clemency, a re-sheathing of the managerial shotgun.Here we have the man who hired the man. The man who fires the man. The man who also hired or rehired the previous two men he had to fire. Berrada was poached from Manchester City on the basis of his ability to grow commercial revenue (yes, OK, stop laughing), and appears, like everyone else with any actual reach around here, to exist in a strangely consequence-free bubble.

Australia’s Boland damages South Africa in brief respite from rain

Just 12.2 overs possible on first day of second TestBowler seizes his opportunity with two wicketsIf there is a theme to Scott Boland’s Test career, it’s making the most of limited opportunity. Finding a way into the team in 2021 when it seemed that chance had passed him by, remaining fourth in line for three spots, playing at the whim of absence, yet in those moments becoming a wrecking force, causing rashes of wickets, taking first-over strikes, threatening hat-tricks and once making good.So began the second Test in Gqeberha, another match he wasn’t supposed to play, on a day that didn’t get 13 overs bowled, yet there he was. Making the score 20 for two. Squeezing into the game through the tiniest gap, like Eugene Tooms escaping from a cell. Continue reading...

Another unremarkable win shows Arsenal’s strength is in depth rather than creativity | Jonathan Wilson

Champions so risk-averse Forest were lured into thinking they had a chance, until bench was used to see them offPass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Sideways. Square. Backwards. Pass. Pass. Recycle. Pass. It wasn’t much of a spectacle. But in the end, for the second week running, thanks in no small part of their bench, Arsenal won. Fireworks in the autumn are for Bonfire Night; titles require relentless accumulation. Since the international break, Arsenal have won three games out of three despite not being in the lead at half-time in any of them.Hammered at Brighton and having endured a drab first hour at home to Leeds last week, there has been a rare sense, for the first time really since Manchester City dropped points at Everton at the beginning of May, of Arsenal not being quite at their best, needing to reassert their quality. This was not a performance that would terrify any opponent, but it did highlight Arsenal’s consistency and it did demonstrate just how deep their squad now runs. Continue reading...
