And has anyone taken more six-fors in an innings than Stuart Broad’s 12?

Steven Lynch09-Feb-2021Where does Kyle Mayers’ 210 not out stand in the list of highest scores on Test debut – particularly in the fourth innings? asked Ken Hutchinson from England

The highlight of West Indies’ remarkable chase to win the first Test against Bangladesh in Chattogram at the weekend was the double-century by Kyle Mayers, who was making his Test debut. His unbeaten 210 was the fifth-highest score on debut, behind Reginald “Tip” Foster (287 for England vs Australia at Sydney in 1903-04), Jacques Rudolph (222 not out for South Africa vs Bangladesh in Chittagong in 2002-03), Lawrence Rowe (214 for West Indies vs New Zealand in Kingston in 1971-72) and Mathew Sinclair (214 for New Zealand vs West Indies in Wellington in 1999-2000). Brendon Kuruppu of Sri Lanka also made a double-century on debut (against New Zealand in Colombo in 1986-87).But Mayers’ innings is easily the highest in the fourth innings on debut, beating 112 by Abbas Ali Baig for India at Old Trafford in 1959. England won that match by 171 runs. The only other century by a debutant in a successful run chase was Yasir Hameed’s 105 for Pakistan against Bangladesh in Karachi in 2003 (Hameed had also made 170 in the first innings). And there have been only five other double-centuries in the fourth innings of any Test, the highest being George Headley’s 223 for West Indies against England in Kingston in 1929-30.The West Indies team in Chattogram included debutants coming in at Nos. 3, 4 and 5. When was the last time this happened? asked Peter Everitt from Barbados

The three West Indian newcomers in Chattogram were Shayne Moseley, Nkrumah Bonner and, as mentioned above, Kyle Mayers. The last time debutants went in at Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in their first Test – excluding countries’ inaugural matches – was at Lord’s in 1946, when debutants Rusi Modi, Vijay Hazare and Abdul Hafeez Kardar filled those spots in the second innings. Kardar, who later captained Pakistan, had batted at No. 8 in the first innings, and was possibly a nightwatchman (not a very successful one, since he was out for a duck). Arguably a more genuine instance happened at Trent Bridge in 1935, when South Africa’s Nos. 3, 4 and 5 in the first innings were debutants Eric Rowan, Dudley Nourse and the captain Herby Wade. There were ten earlier instances, eight of them in the 19th century.Five bowlers took two wickets each in an innings in a recent Test in New Zealand, and it nearly happened again at Chennai. How often has this happened in Tests? asked Michael Anderson from New Zealand

The instance you’re talking about came during the first Test against Pakistan in Mount Maunganui in December: as New Zealand pushed for victory, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson, Neil Wagner and Mitchell Santner all took two wickets. It didn’t quite happen in England’s first innings in Chennai, although it was possible after eight wickets as four of the Indian bowlers had two apiece.The first time this occurred in a Test match was in Sydney in 1882-83, when Joey Palmer, Billy Midwinter, Fred Spofforth, Harry Boyle and Tom Horan all took two wickets for Australia against England; it did not happen again for almost a century, until India’s first innings against England in Delhi in 1981-82, when Bob Willis, John Lever, Derek Underwood, Ian Botham and Graham Gooch all claimed two. After that there were six such instances before the recent one at Mount Maunganui: by South Africa against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 1997-98 and in Durban in 2002-03, Australia vs New Zealand in Adelaide in 2004-05, Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh in Galle in 2012-13, New Zealand vs Australia in Wellington in 2015-16, and England vs Pakistan at Edgbaston in 2016.Muttiah Muralitharan has taken six-fors in an innings on 30 occasions, the most by any bowler•AFPI noticed that Stuart Broad has taken six wickets in an innings on 12 occasions – has anyone done it more often, for England or anyone? asked Stuart Beckett from England

You’re right that Stuart Broad has taken six or more wickets in a Test innings on 12 occasions. It equals the record for England, set by the remarkable Sydney Barnes, who played only 27 Tests to Broad’s 144 to date. Way out in front overall is Muttiah Muralitharan, who took 30 six-fors in his long career. Next come Anil Kumble and Shane Warne, with 19 apiece.Apparently there’s a man who played Tests alongside both Victor Trumper and Don Bradman – who is it? asked Geoff Knight from Australia

Victor Trumper and Don Bradman are often bracketed together as Australia’s best-ever batsmen: in Trumper’s case it’s more down to the style in which he batted than the bare statistics, which are relatively modest. There is indeed one man who played in Trumper’s last series, the 1911-12 Ashes, and in Bradman’s debut Test in Brisbane in 1928-29: the New South Wales allrounder Charles Kelleway, who featured in 27 Tests in all. Three England cricketers – Jack Hobbs, Phil Mead and Frank Woolley – played against both Trumper and Bradman in Tests.Kelleway opened the bowling in that match in Brisbane – which Australia ended up losing by 675 runs, still a record margin – but picked up an injury during it and never played another Test. I don’t know much about Kelleway, and am looking forward to finding out more when a recent book about him – The Pupil and the Master – makes it through the Covid-affected postal system!Use our feedback form, or the Ask Steven Facebook page to ask your stats and trivia questions

Nick Woltemade has hit back at the “absurd” criticism aimed at Germany teammate Florian Wirtz after the Liverpool star’s slow start in the Premier League, insisting the £116 million signing will prove his quality in England. With Wirtz yet to score for Liverpool and facing scrutiny over his adaptation, Woltemade’s public defence adds fresh weight to calls for patience.

Wirtz struggling to find his feet at Liverpool

Wirtz has come under mounting scrutiny after a difficult start to his Liverpool career following his record-breaking move from Bayer Leverkusen. Despite arriving as one of Europe’s most exciting midfielders, he has so far registered just four assists in all competitions, with only one coming in the Premier League. His frustrations peaked when his strike against Sunderland was ruled an own goal, denying him what would have been his long-awaited first Liverpool goal.   

The criticism surrounding Wirtz has intensified as Liverpool struggle for consistent form under Arne Slot, leaving supporters and pundits questioning how quickly he can adapt to the Premier League. By contrast, his Germany teammate Woltemade has flourished since joining Newcastle, leading to comparisons between their respective transitions.

Reports in Germany highlighted increasing debate around whether Wirtz can meet the expectations attached to the £116m fee Liverpool paid in the summer. The spotlight on him has been relentless, particularly as Liverpool rely heavily on his creative role in Slot’s evolving system. It is within this context that Woltemade has stepped forward to defend him and call out what he views as unfair commentary. 

Speaking to Stern, Woltemade rejected the mounting criticism of his international teammate. “This is a pseudo-discussion. Anyone who understands something about football sees what incredible skills he has. Flo will make his way, even in the Premier League.”

Wirtz yet to kick off his Premier League tally

Wirtz’s move to Liverpool was always expected to involve a challenging adaptation period due to the physical intensity and pace of the Premier League. His numbers reflect that difficulty, with zero goals and zero assists in 13 league appearances despite flashes of the playmaking quality that defined his success at Bayer Leverkusen. The tactical demands placed on him under Slot have also differed greatly from the highly structured system he thrived in under Xabi Alonso.   

Woltemade’s defence follows similarly supportive comments from Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who has urged Wirtz not to become distracted by discussion around his fee. The German midfielder continues to show strong involvement outside of goals and assists, contributing through link-up play, pressing and space creation, which his teammates believe will soon translate into end product.

His early adaptation issues mirror those faced by many playmakers moving from the Bundesliga to England, where the rhythm of matches and defensive aggression can be a shock even for elite talents. Despite this, Wirtz has shown promising signs in the Champions League, where he has already provided decisive assists.

Wirtz is expected to retain a key creative role in Liverpool’s upcoming fixtures against Leeds United and Inter Milan, as Slot continues to build an attacking structure that maximises his strengths. A first Premier League goal could significantly reduce the scrutiny he faces and serve as a turning point in his adaptation. As for Woltemade’s comments, they add a strong voice of support from within the German national team camp, reinforcing the belief that Wirtz’s long-term potential remains unquestioned.

Mason Greenwood’s international future has sparked fierce discussions among Jamaica’s players, with senior squad members warning it would be a “farce” for the Marseille forward to join only for the World Cup. As the Reggae Boyz stand one step from qualification, figures inside the camp insist loyalty, commitment and integrity must come before marquee talent.

Greenwood call-up fury erupts

The Marseille forward's form has reignited questions over whether he will feature at next summer’s World Cup, but Jamaica’s senior players have pushed back sharply. The 24-year-old, who has one England cap, recently gained his Jamaican passport and is eligible to represent the nation of his grandparents. Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president Michael Ricketts has publicly expressed hope that Greenwood will join the squad for March’s intercontinental play-offs, saying the forward was “excited to get his documentation sorted out.”

However, Greenwood did not accept a call-up in September despite being passport-ready, instead keeping his international options open. That decision has caused tension inside the Jamaican dressing room, with senior figures warning that a late arrival ahead of a possible World Cup appearance would undermine those who have carried the team through qualification.

AdvertisementGetty Images SportIssac Hayden slams ‘farce’ scenario

The strongest criticism has come from former Newcastle player Isaac Hayden, who has earned 12 caps since switching allegiance last year. The QPR midfielder told he would “not see why” Greenwood, or any player, should be allowed to join only at the final hurdle after skipping earlier qualifiers. 

“I've only played for Jamaica for a year, and there was some resistance to me when I started, but I have played 12 games and everyone can see my passion and the way I play the game,” Hayden said. “I give everything on the pitch, and I wanted to be there to help Jamaica progress to the World Cup."

He insisted the squad deserved respect for their role in reaching the brink of qualification. “They want to have the best team on the pitch, but I said it to the JFF: ‘If a player is not willing to commit for the last round of qualifying, unless they're injured, I do not see why they should be joining the group in March or at the end of the season if we qualify’. There is no way that should be allowed to happen.”

Hayden then delivered his most pointed message, calling Greenwood’s potential late arrival a threat to team integrity. “The quality of the player, his numbers, what he is producing, is of the highest level,” he admitted. “But it comes down to principle and integrity. If players can just rock up because of a World Cup, it would make the whole thing a farce. That would say a lot about the player, and the organisation for allowing that to happen.”

Squad concerns for Greenwood as Bell warns of ‘controversial’ call-up

Defender Amari’i Bell, a regular with 29 caps, echoed Hayden’s concerns and stressed the emotional weight carried by Jamaica’s long-serving players. “Many of us for years have put our blood, sweat and tears into playing for the nation, with a lot of things happening in the background,” he said. “We've had to deal with all that. It wouldn't seem fair to people who have been through that whole process and will never get another chance to play at a World Cup. It's a bit controversial.”

Meanwhile, England boss Thomas Tuchel publicly distanced himself from the idea of recalling Greenwood, saying in September that he “had not spoken to him” and that the forward “is not in our thoughts for our team.”

AFPJFF plans vs player loyalty: what's next?

The JFF has pushed hard to secure Greenwood, especially given his resurgence at Marseille, where he leads Ligue 1 with 10 goals in 12 games. But his refusal to join September’s qualifiers has intensified scrutiny from players in Jamaica, who question whether a World Cup carrot should outweigh loyalty and commitment.

Greenwood’s complex disciplinary past, including his 2022 suspension by Manchester United and the subsequently dropped charges, remains part of the wider conversation.

Jamaica are two games away from qualifying for their second ever World Cup finals, having previously reached the group stage in 1998. They face New Caledonia in March and the winner of the tie will meet DR Congo in the play-off final, and with that window rapidly approaching, the JFF must decide whether to push again for Greenwood or respect the views of senior players who insist late additions undermine the squad’s integrity.

The final decision may shape not only Jamaica’s World Cup bid but also team culture ahead, and if Greenwood joins, the federation will certainly have a challenge to manage dressing-room sensitivities.

Tottenham Hotspur were held by Manchester United in the Premier League after Matthijs de Ligt beat Guglielmo Vicario deep into stoppage time to cancel out Richarlison’s deft flick moments earlier.

A real spectacle of a match. But this is more of the same for a Spurs side struggling for form at home and unable to produce the kind of creative performances to sustain a spot at the top of the league ladder.

The season, of course, is still young, but Thomas Frank has much to chew on, having watched his side toil for much of their clash against

the resurgent Red Devils.

Spurs' performance vs Man Utd

Tottenham’s creative issues were on display once again as Man United took control in the opening half. Things improved as Frank made tweaks at the interval, and the late flurry to turn the clash on its head nearly sealed a springboard of a win for the hosts, but a defensive lapse left the club with just one home win from five in the Premier League.

Without the injured Mohammed Kudus, Tottenham were always going to be up against it, and Richarlison and Brennan Johnson largely flattered to deceive down the wings.

Frank’s attacking experiment didn’t pay off, with Richarlison pushed out wide to accommodate Randal Kolo Muani as the central striker. The French loanee was hooked at half-time, and while Richarlison scored late on, it was not his finest overall performance.

Post-match, the Danish coach opted to draw the positives from the performances, but when he sits down in the tactical room and assesses Tottenham’s performance over the international break, he will be sure to settle on some changes.

One of which could be the tough call to drop one of the side’s mainstays. This is a player who is among the most talented down N17, and one whose fragilities were exposed against the Red Devils.

Frank must finally drop Spurs "disaster"

Few would argue against Pedro Porro being one of the most talented and creative full-backs in Europe, but his defending is questionable at times, and when he struggles to make things work on the ball, this is accentuated.

And this was the case against Manchester United.

Bryan Mbeumo scored his customary goal against the Lilywhites, heading home inside the area following Amad Diallo’s whipped cross. The Cameroonian swerved in behind Porro to score the goal.

Moreover, the 26-year-old was culpable of some questionable decision-making and positioning throughout the contest, altogether isolated from the role Frank had hoped he would perform against a team desperate for success and finding their feet.

Hooked after 67 minutes, Porro had struggled to impose himself against the United forwards and lacked his trademark playmaking quality, having lost the ball a shocking 29 times despite not creating a single chance. He attempted 12 crosses and found the mark with only one (data courtesy of Sofascore).

Polish journalist Michael Okonski even called the accuracy of his deliveries a “disaster”.

Football.london handed him a 5/10 match rating and brought to attention these issues, and now Frank must seriously consider making a tactical tweak.

Spence struggled to support the forwards from his unnatural berth on the left, and given his growth both in maturity and confidence in the Premier League over the past year or so, it might be worth moving him into Porro’s space and relegating the Spaniard to the bench.

Devon Conway has described being back in New Zealand’s T20I side as “great” after last playing for them at the T20 World Cup more than a year ago. Conway has since turned down a central contract and was initially omitted from the touring group to Zimbabwe but Finn Allen’s foot injury opened the door for his return and he is relishing the chance to represent the country again.”It’s great to be back in this environment. It’s been a while, so just getting the call-up to come back into the squad is fantastic,” he said at the post-match press conference. “Obviously Finn Allen’s injury is unfortunate but for me it’s nice to get that opportunity to be with the squad again and see a couple of faces who I haven’t seen in a long period of time. And it was nice to contribute today to the win.”Conway’s 59 not out and the half-century stands he shared in with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell helped New Zealand cruise to an eight-wicket win over Zimbabwe and to the top of the tri-series points table. Though he top-scored, it was not until the latter part of his innings that he looked comfortable after several top-edges off short balls from Zimbabwe’s seamers. Conway was dropped on 1 when he edged a back-of-a-length delivery from Richard Ngavara to Blessing Muzarabani at short third and then miscued two pull shots, which fell safely.Related

“There was a lot of steep bounce in the surface, which was a little bit unexpected, but we adjusted and thankfully we only had to chase 121 and managed to get across the line,” he said. “With the new ball, especially their left-armer [Ngarava] was a massive challenge for us as batters. They bashed that wicket really hard and got a lot of steep bounce out of it, so it made it pretty hard for us batters early.”This match was being played on a fresh pitch after two previous fixtures earlier in the week, where the ball seemed to stick in the wicket. There are still four more round-robin games to be played before the final, which New Zealand will be confident of appearing in after winning their first two matches. They will next play South Africa on Tuesday, where Conway will be wary of Kwena Maphaka, also left-arm, against whom he top-edged in New Zealand’s opening match on Thursday.This is Conway’s first experience of working under new coach Rob Walter, who gave up the white-ball job with South Africa to take on the all-format role for New Zealand. Walter will be in charge of New Zealand for three years, which includes the next T20 and ODI World Cups. While Conway has not indicated if he would like to be considered for those tournaments, he has enjoyed working with Walter so far.”It’s just been a couple of days we’ve been with him but his positive mindset around T20 cricket has been nice and clear for us batters,” Conway said. “He’s brought positive energy and a slightly new way of thinking so it’s nice to have him on board and experimenting as to how he operates as the head coach.”

June was kind to the New York Mets, who have surged back to just one game under .500 on the season heading into Monday’s meeting with the Washington Nationals.

Washington has been better this season than in years past, but it is five games under .500 and in fourth place – behind New York – in the NL East. 

MacKenzie Gore will get the ball for the Nats in this game, and while he’s arguably been the team's best pitcher, he didn’t fare well against the Mets the last time these teams faced off. 

Here’s a look at the latest odds, probable pitchers and my best bet to place for this divisional matchup.

Francisco Alvarez: Francisco Alvarez has gotten hot over the last month, raising his batting average from .224 to .301 in the month of June. He hit .375 with three homers and 12 runs batted in across 16 games, a sign of hopefully more to come for this rebuilding Mets squad. 

Washington Nationals

MacKenzie Gore: After a really strong first two months of the season, Gore took a bit of a step back in June, posting a 5.13 ERA in five starts. The biggest issue for Gore comes in the walks department (he had 11 in June), something he’ll need to clean up going forward. Gore was rocked by the Mets in June, allowing seven hits and six runs in his last outing against them. 

Mets vs. Nationals Prediction and Pick

I do think Gore is the better pitcher in this matchup, but I’m not sold on Washington winning this game.

David Peterson has a nice ERA (and record) on the surface, he could be due for some regression with a 5.01 FIP and a 6.12 expected ERA – which is in the third percentile in MLB.

Still, there is a massive offensive gap between these two teams that I think gives the Mets the edge.

Washington is just 24th in MLB in OPS while the Mets clock in at No. 7, and the Nationals have struggled in Gore’s starts despite him pitching well, going 7-9 straight up. 

Even with Peterson not pitching great, the Mets are 4-1 in his outings, and they’ve been a better team on the road (19-16) than at home (21-25) this season.

The Nationals are an under .500 team at home, and Gore couldn’t do much against this Mets lineup early last month. 

I’m going to ride the hotter team in New York to get the win on Monday. 

شن الفرنسي كريستوف دوجاري، المتوج بكأس العالم 1998 مع منتخب الديوك، هجومًا على فينيسيوس جونيور، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي ريال مدريد بسبب سلوكه لحظة خروجه من مباراة الكلاسيكو أمام برشلونة.

واستضاف ملعب “سانتياجو برنابيو” مباراة الكلاسيكو بين ريال مدريد وبرشلونة، ضمن منافسات الجولة العاشرة من بطولة الدوري الإسباني “لا ليجا”، يوم الأحد الماضي.

وتمكن ريال مدريد من حسم نتيجة المباراة بثنائية مقابل هدف، في المباراة التي جمعتهما ضمن منافسات الدوري الإسباني.

وفي الدقيقة 72، قرر تشابي ألونسو خروج فينيسيوس جونيور ونزول مواطنه رودريجو، ولكن ذلك القرار لم يعجب الأول.

وأبدى فينيسيوس جونيور غضبه واستياءه من قرار تشابي ألونسو، حيث انفعل بطريقة عصبية على ذلك الإجراء، وظل يردد كلمات وهو في حالة انفعال شديد خلال خروجه.

ولم يتوقف فينيسيوس عند هذا الحد، بل زاد الطين بلة بعدما قرر عدم التوجه إلى دكة البدلاء، بل خرج إلى النفق المؤدي لغرفة الملابس على الفور، في رد فعل قوي من جانبه ضد تشابي ألونسو.

وفي ضوء ذلك، قال دوجاري في تصريحات عبر صحيفة “آس”: “أحببت أسلوب مبابي وسلوكه وتصرفاته على عكس فينيسيوس، فهو لا يُطاق”.

وأكمل: “دائمًا ما يشتكي من الحكم وخصومه، كان يقوم بتوبيخ الجماهير كما لو كان في الملعب والآن، يُسيء إلى مدربه”.

وأردف: “قد تشعر بخيبة أمل نعم لكن هذا التصرف مُبالغ فيه، ارحل يا رجل ! أداؤك ليس على المستوى المطلوب أبدًا”.

وأضاف: “هذا يُزعجني حقًا فهو يبكي بلا توقف، ويطالب دائمًا بشيء ما، لا يزال بعيدًا كل البعد عن مستواه في المواسم الأخيرة وعليه إعادة تقييم نفسه”.

وأتم: “فينيسيوس من أبرز المرشحين للفوز بالكرة الذهبية في المستقبل وقائد للبرازيل وأحد أفضل لاعبي ريال مدريد، عليه أن يُثبت جدارته أكثر إذا أراد أن يكون على نفس المستوى، فلورنتينو بيريز سيتخلص منه”.

Ednaldo Rodrigues está ciente de que o clima de ‘lua de mel’ entre elenco e treinadora esfriou e, por isso, pretende conversar com as atletas. O presidente da CBF esteve bastante ativo acompanhando as atividades da Seleção Brasileira na Austrália e, inclusive, acompanhou a delegação da equipe nos dias de jogos. O homem forte da Confederação é um entusiasta do futebol feminino e pretende potencializar a categoria enquanto estiver no cargo.

Assim, sabendo da necessidade de conversas e avaliações, o mandatário da CBF não tem pressa para tomar a decisão. Ele pretende ‘curar a ressaca’ da campanha desanimadora no Mundial para ‘abrir as feridas’, tirar conclusões e chegar a definições distantes de qualquer emoção.
