Shan Masood missed the chance to reach the coveted thousand-run mark in first-class cricket by the end of May after succumbing to a second cheap dismissal for Derbyshire at local rivals Nottinghamshire. batting star Masood, one of the signings of the 2022 County Championship season, failed to add to his 844-run tally when Stuart Broad won a marginal lbw call in the first over of Derbyshire's second innings at Trent Bridge. The third-ball duck for the 32-year-old followed a first innings contribution of 18, as the away side battled to avert what would be their first loss under new coach Mickey Arthur. Shan Masood missed the chance to reach the coveted thousand-run mark after his dismissal RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share Recent Test call-up Harry Brook, of Yorkshire, and Kent's Ben Compton are the only two other players to have breached 800 runs in what has been a batsman-friendly start to the summer that opened up the possibility of someone becoming only the ninth player all told and third since the Second World War to reach the 1,000-run landmark before June 1. Although Compton (810) is behind Brook (840), he now appears to be the only challenger to the record books as he potentially has another innings for Kent against Northamptonshire today (Sunday) and could also feature for a First-Class Counties XI against the touring New Zealanders from Thursday. Brook is to report for full England duty on the final day of that fixture. Meanwhile, Keith Barker surged to the top of the wicket-takers' list in Division One when half a dozen second-innings victims at Taunton took him to 27 for the season and highlighted Hampshire's County Championship title credentials. After contributing 36 with the bat to help the visitors open up a 69-run lead on first innings, the left-armer's six for 27 then contributed to Somerset being dismissed with the scores level.

Unbeaten Yorkshire's quest to inflict a second loss of the campaign on reigning champions Warwickshire was held up by third evening resistance at Headingley from their former player Will Rhodes while another county captain in Lancashire's Dane Vilas showed similar resistance by hitting a half century following on, after Essex bundled them out for just 103 first time around at Emirates Old Trafford. In Division Two, Ben Stokes finished with four wickets at Lord's in his final appearance for Durham before opening his England [https://sportsshops.tumblr.com/post/680952488640299008/watch-yuzvendra-chahal-and-dhanashree-vermas sportsshops.tumblr.com] captaincy era at the same ground next week, although Middlesex - who head the promotion chase - forced him to bowl 21.2 overs for those rewards as they opened up a useful 72-run lead on first innings. Leicestershire, who have now played half of their 14 Division Two matches for the season, remain rooted to the bottom of the table following a humiliating innings and 259 runs defeat to Worcestershire inside three days.

Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe plays a shot during a one-day international against Sri Lanka in Kandy on January 18, 2022. Sikandar Raza struck 87 off 40 balls as hosts Zimbabwe defeated Singapore by 111 runs on Monday to make a great start in their bid to qualify for the 2022 Twenty20 World Cup in Australia. Put into bat after losing the toss, Zimbabwe posted 236-5 in 20 overs with Raza, Sean Williams (53) and captain Craig Ervine (34) the leading run makers at Queens Sports Club in southern city Bulawayo. Singapore never looked like matching the run rate of the home team and managed just 125-7 with unbeaten Janak Prakash (32) top scoring and Surendran Chandramohan (21) the only other contributor of note. Tendai Chatara (3-14) and Blessing Muzarabani (2-21) were the most successful bowlers for Zimbabwe, who are seeking a sixth T20 World Cup tournament appearance. New Zimbabwe coach and former star batsman Dave Houghton had called for exciting, [https://sites.google.com/view/dwayn/home https://sites.google.com/view/dwayn/home] positive cricket from a team that last month suffered 3-0 series losses to visiting Afghanistan in both white-ball formats. Batting at number five, Pakistan-born right-hander Raza heeded the rallying cry with a man-of-the-match performance that included five sixes and eight fours. "This was a great start. The coach has emphasised the need to not only start the tournament well but finish it equally well. Our goal is to qualify for Australia," said Raza. "We want the other seven teams to know that we are determined to secure one of the two qualifying places on offer and I think we did that really well. "The win over Singapore is history now. The focus of my teammates and I has already shifted to the match against Jersey tomorrow." - Taylor ton for USA - A United States side including former South Africa fast bowler Rusty Theron defeated Jersey by eight wickets in the other Group A clash. Jersey, one of four contenders in Bulawayo hoping to reach the T20 World Cup for the first time, made 154-5 off 20 overs. Batting at number three, Asa Tribe struck an unbeaten 73, including six sixes, for Jersey, a tiny London-ruled island between England and France. The USA surpassed that total by reaching 159-2 with 11 balls to spare and opener Steven Taylor (101 not out) starred. He faced 55 balls and fired five sixes and 12 fours. If Zimbabwe beat Jersey and the USA defeat Singapore on Tuesday both will secure semi-finals places, leaving the hosts and the Americans to fight for first place in the group on Thursday. Four-time qualifiers the Netherlands lived up to their billing as Group B favourites with a 52-run victory over Papua New Guinea. The Dutch won the toss and posted 163-7 with Stephan Myburgh (39) top scoring while Semo Kamea and Charles Amini took two wickets each for the Pacific islanders. Papua New Guinea were all out for 111 in 19.4 overs having never matched the Netherlands run rate. Sese Bau (35) was the only batsman to impress while Logan van Beek (3-17) was the pick of the Dutch bowlers. Uganda surprised Hong Kong in the same group, winning by two wickets in a low scoring affair. Replying to 87-9, the Africans reached 88-8 off the third ball of the final over. Wins for the Netherlands over Hong Kong and Uganda against Papua New Guinea on Tuesday will seal semi-finals places. The Bulawayo finalists will join 14 other nations at the T20 World Cup in Australia from October 16.

Torrid time: Virat Kohli The high-octane Indian Premier League moves into the playoffs this week with four teams left to battle for the glitzy Twenty20 championship and the winners to be crowned in Sunday's final. Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore are all that remain standing from the 10 teams who embarked on a marathon season of 70 matches two months ago. Ahead of Tuesday's first playoff match when Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Kolkata, AFP Sport highlights five players who grabbed the headlines this season in the world's most valuable cricket tournament: - Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) - The superstar's batting slump has been a constant talking point during the season as Kohli suffered three uncharacteristic 'golden ducks' -- out on the first ball of his innings. But 'King' Kohli bounced back just in time for his team's final league game with a match-winning 73 off 54 balls that helped the team make the top four. Kohli, 33, has endured a torrid 12 months that saw him replaced as Indian captain, give up the Bangalore armband and fail to score a century in more than 100 matches in all formats. Now he and Bangalore stand just three wins from a maiden IPL title and play Lucknow in an eliminator on Wednesday. "I'm actually in the happiest phase of my life. I am not finding any self-worth or value in what I do in the field. I'm way past that phase. This is a phase of evolution for me," Kohli said. - Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals) - The England [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XdPNHZ5HH5G2kItE802vFJmfHZiZ30G01VRW_18cxz0/edit?usp=sharing docs.google.com] batsman has bossed this IPL with three centuries to help Rajasthan finish second in the table, awaiting table-toppers Gujarat in the first qualifier on Tuesday. Smiling assassin: Jos Buttler Buttler has been a smiling assassin, stroking 629 runs in 14 matches -- the most of any player -- while smashing 37 sixes at a strike-rate of 146.96. Buttler has received praise from his rivals with Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer hailing the skill of the Englishman after he scored 103 against his team last month. "The way he manoeuvres the ball, he is a classy batsman," said Shreyas. - Umran Malik (Sunrisers Hyderabad) - The young speedster took the IPL by storm and on Sunday earned his maiden India call-up for the Twenty20 series against South Africa. The 22-year-old Malik, from the Jammu region of Indian-administered Kashmir, bowled the fastest ball of the tournament at 156.9 kph (97.5 mph) and took 22 wickets in 14 matches. His thunderbolts won rave reviews from international cricketers, including Hyderabad's bowling coach Dale Steyn who said he was "blown away" by the youngster's pace. - Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans) - Rashid was the key to his team starting with a bang as they remarkably topped the table in their debut season. The Afghanistan wizard not only bamboozled the batsman with his leg-spin bowling but also provided some explosive batting as he displayed his all-round talent. He scored a whirlwind unbeaten 31, including two sixes from the last two balls, to pull off a stunning chase against Hyderabad. And his four wickets against Lucknow helped Gujarat become the first team to book a play-off spot. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said Rashid "delivers whenever the captain looks at him." - Dewald Brevis (Mumbai Indians) - The uncapped South African batsman made his presence felt with knocks to remember for wooden-spooners Mumbai Indians. The 19-year-old scored 161 runs in seven matches for five-time champions Mumbai who brought the U19 World Cup star for $389,610. He capped off the IPL with a crucial 37 off 33 balls in Mumbai's win over Delhi and credited South African great AB de Villiers for his success. "He is such a great human being... and he is really one of the best," said Brevis. "Having him as a mentor is special to me," added the youngster who has been nicknamed "Baby AB" for his ability to hit innovative big shots like his older compatriot.

The numbers have shown one the most underrated aspects of success in franchise Twenty20 cricket: roster consistency. Data obtained by AAP indicated the top three teams in this year's Big Bash League finals have used the least amount of players over the past three years. Each of the Perth Scorchers, Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder have used just 26 regular players over the past three summers, in a show of limited squad movement. This year's other two finalists in fourth-placed Adelaide (28) and Hobart (31) have used the next least, while perennial strugglers Brisbane (37) and Melbourne Renegades (33) have used the most. The Melbourne Stars have used 32, ranked sixth after finishing this summer's competition in the same position. The figures only include players that have featured in three or more matches, [https://justpaste.it/47ngm https://justpaste.it/47ngm] removing those who filled in for one or two matches during COVID-19 outbreaks recently. "The consistency of the team, everyone knows each other's roles, it's a huge help," Thunder batsman Alex Ross told AAP. "If you look at the best teams around the world in franchise cricket, generally the teams haven't changed so much. "The old stalwarts at Chennai (in the IPL). The Sixers have won the last two, Perth are always around the mark. "You don't get that all that often in T20 cricket. You can have a poor year and all of a sudden the team half changes." Roster consistency was a hallmark of Shane Bond's philosophy as Thunder coach between 2018 and 2021, before he stood down last April citing pandemic difficulties. That approach has been continued by Trevor Bayliss, with players also embracing his direct nature and a strategy centred around ensuring risks are worth their rewards. But the overall philosophy is part of the reason the bulk of the Thunder's squad view Sunday's knockout final against Adelaide as part of finishing the job after three straight finals appearances. "Bondy definitely practised what he preached behind the scenes," Ross said. "To know what each other do, it's a lot easier to go out and perform and trust that everyone else will do their job. "If you feel comfortable in your role, the chance of you going out and performing are much higher. "Teams that can hold on to their key players and build a culture around that, definitely go further in the competitions." PLAYERS USED BY BBL CLUBS IN PAST THREE YEARS (ladder position in 2022) Perth Scorchers: 26 (1st) Sydney Sixers: 26 (2nd) Sydney Thunder: 26 (3rd) Adelaide Strikers: 28 (4th) Hobart Hurricanes: 31 (5th) Melbourne Stars: 32 (6th) Melbourne Renegades: 33 (8th) Brisbane Heat: 37 (7th)
