Embarrassed by the magnitude of the defeat in their season opener, [M]the Bombers'[/M] abject day was best summed up by the fact they [M]lost the contested-ball count by 41[/M] (157-116) – their worst differential since a loss to Carlton in round three, 2015.
Essendon skipper Dyson Heppell says he was shocked by the 72-point capitulation to Greater Western Sydney on the opening weekend of the season. Many believe John Worsfold’s men are ready to challenge for a premiership, but Essendon couldn’t have played much worse than they did at Giants Stadium, following two underwhelming performances in the JLT Community Series. Despite the Giants missing Josh Kelly, Callan Ward and Shane Mumford, the Bombers were smashed around the contest and on the scoreboard, finishing with only five goals on the board on Sunday. On a weekend full of upsets — Port Adelaide beat Melbourne, Brisbane beat West Coast, Fremantle beat North Melbourne — this was the most stunning. Heppell expects Essendon to thoroughly examine what went wrong against Greater Western Sydney before turning its attention to St Kilda this weekend. “It takes a bit to digest what’s just happened. There was a bit of shock, like ‘That’s not the way we go about our footy, what’s just happened?’,” Heppell told reporters at the club on Monday. “We certainly came into that game feeling we were prepared and ready. That’s far from what we’re all about. It didn’t show up the way we would’ve liked and we’ve got to look at that closely.

Despite [M]the Giants missing[/M] Josh Kelly, [M]Callan Ward[/M] and Shane Mumford, the Bombers were smashed around the contest and on the scoreboard, finishing with only five goals on the board on Sunday.
What went so horribly wrong for Essendon? That question will take some answering after the Bombers' 72-point loss to Greater Western Sydney on Sunday, but one damning statistic stood out. This was the Bombers' worst effort in contested possession in almost four seasons. Little surprise, then, that the players were told they were simply "not good enough" by their coaches in the immediate aftermath of the match at Giants Stadium. Embarrassed by the magnitude of the defeat in their season opener, the Bombers' abject day was best summed up by the fact they lost the contested-ball count by 41 (157-116) – their worst differential since a loss to Carlton in round three, 2015. Dyson Heppell (right) leads the defeated Bombers from the field.

With the international assignments set to start, [M]England’s players participating in the[/M] ongoing [M]Indian Premier League[/M] (IPL) [M]will have to leave the tournament early[/M] now.
The Indian squad for the upcoming cricket World Cup this month was announced in April with a core group of players narrowed down to the final 15. While this 2019 World Cup squad was among the most easy to predict, with 12-13 of the 15 slots all but assured, there were a couple of names that raised questions. The confusion over the No 4 batsman continued as Ambati Rayudu was dropped. All-rounder Vijay Shankar is expected to take up the crucial role. The biggest debate leading up to the squad announcement was the choice of the second wicketkeeper and the selectors made a tough call by selecting Dinesh Karthik, despite his poor recent form with the bat in the Indian Premier League, over young Rishabh Pant. Pant had been in better form and seemed like the better choice on paper but the selectors opted for Karthik’s experience. The World Cup begins on 30 May, a couple of weeks after the end of the Indian Premier League, with India playing their first match on 5 June against South Africa, Here’s a look at the final 15 and how they fared in the IPL, before and after selection. This list will be updated on a daily basis during the IPL season.
