time and… six wickets on debut is nothing to scoff at. He did the hard yards today into the wind so I could come down it, so I’m very appreciative for that.” Australia depth shows up England’s Ashes ‘failures’ A WELL-D R ILLED Australia are on the cusp of retaining the Ashes after just six days of cricket – not bad for a team lambasted by England great Stuart Broad before the series began as its weakest since 2010. The hosts take a 2-0 lead into the third Test at Adelaide on Dec 17 need ing only a draw to keep the famous urn and pile more humiliation on Ben Stokes’s tourists. Australia have put themselves on the brink despite missing injured pace spearheads Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, with the performances of stand-ins Michael Neser and Brendan Doggett a reflection of their depth. “The great and the healthiest thing for Australian cricket right now is that they’ve got almost a second XI or an Australia ‘A’ side that could come in and play some outstanding cricket too,” said former Australia Test quick Brett Lee. “The guys who have had their opportunity, the Doggetts and the Nesers, have stood up. “They’ve taken their opportunity and taken it with both hands, which is brilliant.” It is a far cry from the pre-Ashes war-of-words where England were hyped as having their best chance in a generation to win a series in Australia, with seamer Broad’s comments com ing back to haunt him. At the time, he pointed to ques tions over the make-up of Australia’s batting line-up and a perceived lack of bowling depth. Both have been blown out of the water.

An under-pressure Arshdeep Singh gave away seven wides in an over as South Africa built up momen tum with an 83-run partnership between De Kock and Aiden Markram. Duffy stars as Black Caps thrash Windies JACO B DUFFY took five for 38 as New Zealand’s makeshift bowling attack skittled West Indies for 128 on the third day of the second Test at Basin Reserve yesterday to set up a nine wicket victory for a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Missing several frontline seamers and without Blair Tickner, who dislo cated his shoulder fielding on day one, the Black Caps still ripped through the West Indies line-up to give their bat ters a modest victory target of 56 runs. Devon Conway, who was unbeaten on 28, and Kane Williamson, who was week’s Tauranga Test remaining. It was Duffy’s second consecutive five-wicket haul in the series and he was ably assisted by fellow seamer Michael Rae, who took 3-45 for a six wicket match haul on his Test debut at the age of 30. “The way the guys bowled today was awesome. I thought it was just a great team performance. And we got the job done day three. How good?” said Duffy, who was playing his third Test. “I’m so stoked for (Michael Rae), he’s been pushing for that for a long 16 not out, got the home side across the line before tea at the cost of one wicket to ensure New Zealand cannot lose the series with just next

De Kock shines as Proteas beat India in second T20 S OUTH AF R ICA beat India by 51 runs in the second T20 International yester day after Quinton de Kock’s (pic) quick fire innings helped the visitors to set up a huge target and Ottneil Baartman got four wickets to hand India their largest defeat by runs at home in the shortest format. De Kock, who opened the innings alongside Reeza Hendricks, scored 90 runs off 46 balls, his highest score against India in the format, helping his side to post a huge total of 213-4 in 20 overs in Chandigarh. In response, Tilak Varma, who walked in at 32-3, struck a 27-ball fifty, but the left-handed batter was unable to take his side over the line. “When I do get going, I try and make it count,” De Kock said after he was named player of the match. “The wicket was slow up front. Any new bat ter would find it harder.” After being asked to bat, South Africa’s openers scored 38 runs in the first four overs, before leg-spinner Varun Chakravarthy broke the partner
