Australia v India: Rohit Sharma battling to save Gabba Test and captaincy after Head and Smith hit centuries


  • English
  • Arabic

Australia took total control of the third Test against India at the Gabba despite an opening day washout, with Travis Head smashing another century and Steve Smith returning to form with a ton on Sunday.

India's bowling revolved around Jasprit Bumrah once again, the pace ace picking up five wickets. But the rest of the attack looked nowhere near as capable of taking wickets as the Aussies raced to 405-7 at the end of an extended second day.

Head (152) and Smith (101) starred in a 241-run stand that broke India's spirit after a positive start in the morning session.

Only 13.2 overs were bowled on the first day due to persistent rain in Brisbane. On day two, India started strongly with three wickets in the first hour with Bumrah once again finding his radar.

But Head and Smith batted India out of the game before another superb spell from Bumrah (5-72) after tea with the second new ball.

Head, who hadn't scored a run in his previous three innings at the Gabba, looked in complete control.

While other batsmen played and missed on a challenging surface, Head smashed the Indian attack at will.

Seam bowler Akash Deep challenged the batsmen as much as Bumrah, drawing almost as many false shots. However, while Bumrah picked up five wickets, Akash Deep got none.

What also stood out was the listless captaincy, field placing and body language of India captain Rohit Sharma, who has been criticised for basic errors and lack of positive intent throughout the series. On Sunday, Australian commentator Simon Katich termed one particular passage of bowling and field placing to Head as “dumb cricket”.

Rohit has shown a tendency to use defensive field placings and even wrong bowling combinations, allowing the game to drift away. Under his captaincy, Head has hit match-winning centuries almost every time, with the team refusing to even explore a clear weakness against short-pitched bowling for a sustained period.

While India did bowl with a little more discipline to Head than they did in Adelaide, the left-handed batsman survived the initial test. He brought up his century off 115 balls and reached 150 off just 157, hitting 18 fours.

Smith, on the other hand, was extremely lucky to survive for as long as he did. The former captain played and missed several times, surviving many lbw shouts.

He played with greater control once he crossed 50 and the bowling lost its edge. Smith brought up his 33rd Test century and his first in 18 months.

“It was nice to get to three figures, it's been a little while,” Smith said.

“You need a bit of luck playing on these surfaces and I think I got a bit of luck early on. It's been pretty challenging, the new ball's been doing a fair bit on most of the wickets we've been playing on.”

Smith fell soon after reaching three figures, edging Bumrah to Sharma at first slip with the score on 316. The Indian pace spearhead had his fourth wicket when Mitchell Marsh was caught by Virat Kohli at second slip for five.

One run later Head finally departed, edging Bumrah to wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant to leave Australia 327-6.

Alex Carey (45 not out) then took the score past 400 to put the Aussies back on top.

Rain is forecast over the next three days, which means India have virtually no chance of winning the match and can only realistically hope to avoid defeat.

If India lose the third Test, they will almost certainly be out of the race for the World Test Championship final. And with it, the team is likely to move on from Rohit the captain and batsman, with Bumrah and possibly Pant in line to take over as leaders of the Test format.

Tips for job-seekers
  • Do not submit your application through the Easy Apply button on LinkedIn. Employers receive between 600 and 800 replies for each job advert on the platform. If you are the right fit for a job, connect to a relevant person in the company on LinkedIn and send them a direct message.
  • Make sure you are an exact fit for the job advertised. If you are an HR manager with five years’ experience in retail and the job requires a similar candidate with five years’ experience in consumer, you should apply. But if you have no experience in HR, do not apply for the job.

Sugary teas and iced coffees

The tax authority is yet to release a list of the taxed products, but it appears likely that sugary iced teas and cold coffees will be hit.

For instance, the non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.

Cold coffee brands are likely to be hit too. Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.

Pharaoh's curse

British aristocrat Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to find the Tutankhamun tomb, died in a Cairo hotel four months after the crypt was opened.
He had been in poor health for many years after a car crash, and a mosquito bite made worse by a shaving cut led to blood poisoning and pneumonia.
Reports at the time said Lord Carnarvon suffered from “pain as the inflammation affected the nasal passages and eyes”.
Decades later, scientists contended he had died of aspergillosis after inhaling spores of the fungus aspergillus in the tomb, which can lie dormant for months. The fact several others who entered were also found dead withiin a short time led to the myth of the curse.

The design

The protective shell is covered in solar panels to make use of light and produce energy. This will drastically reduce energy loss.

More than 80 per cent of the energy consumed by the French pavilion will be produced by the sun.

The architecture will control light sources to provide a highly insulated and airtight building.

The forecourt is protected from the sun and the plants will refresh the inner spaces.

A micro water treatment plant will recycle used water to supply the irrigation for the plants and to flush the toilets. This will reduce the pavilion’s need for fresh water by 30 per cent.

Energy-saving equipment will be used for all lighting and projections.

Beyond its use for the expo, the pavilion will be easy to dismantle and reuse the material.

Some elements of the metal frame can be prefabricated in a factory.

 From architects to sound technicians and construction companies, a group of experts from 10 companies have created the pavilion.

Work will begin in May; the first stone will be laid in Dubai in the second quarter of 2019. 

Construction of the pavilion will take 17 months from May 2019 to September 2020.
