'We've got the foot on the throat and we want to continue that momentum', former skipper Steve Smith has made Australia's intentions clear as the hosts aim for 5-0 series whitewash against the struggling English side in the Ashes. With an unassailable 3-0 lead, Australia have already retained the Ashes but now aim for some drubbing against their arch-rivals. 
England are struggling and that has been evident in the series so far as the visitors have practically shown little or no fight in the 3 Test matches. Captain Joe Root who has been the lone ranger for the visitors in the series has once again urged his team to stand up and fight. He said, "We're better than the performances you've put in, we'll know that and we've got two chances now to try and try and get something from the rest of this tour".

Joe&nbsp;Root BITE
We've got two games here to show how much we care about that and to make sure that we put in better performances than we have done so far on this tour. Those guys in that dressing room they really care about it. And we've got to sort of find a way of showing that out there on the field. We're better than the performances you've put in, we'll know that and we've got two chances now to try and try and get something from the rest of this tour.

They win at home and they, you know, have a really good record away. So as I said, I just feel like it's building. We've got a great squad of 15, 20 guys we can pick from.

After a crushing defeat in the 1st Test, an under-pressure English side looks to bounce back in the Ashes series, as the Adelaide Test gets underway on Thursday

'We have some big decisions to make': Joe Root ahead of the 2nd Ashes Test

After a crushing defeat in the 1st Test, an under-pressure English side looks to bounce back in the Ashes series, as the Adelaide Test gets underway on Thursday.
Ahead of the pink-ball Test, England skipper Joe Root said that the visiting side has some big decisions to make.&nbsp;
BITE: JOE ROOT, Captain, England
'We'll have a look at the surface and we'll see how the training goes, see how everyone pulls up, and then we've obviously got some big decisions to make, but one of the great things is we're going into this test match and both of them should be fit and ready to go and with that amount of experience within your squad it's obviously exciting, so plenty of good options to choose from.'
The Adelaide Test will be a pink-ball affair, something which Australia has dominated, especially in their own backyard. But Root looks determined to take that challenge head-on.
BITE: JOE ROOT, Captain, England
'Any test match you need to put a score on the board, regardless of what colour ball is or where you are in the world. You need some runs to work with if you want to take 20 wickets so that focus will still be there.'
Australia lead the Ashes series 1-0 and go into the 2nd encounter having won all 8 Day-Night Tests they have played so far.

Australia's hero from the 1st Ashes Test at the Gabba, Travis Head&nbsp;can't wait for the 2nd Test to get underway.
BITE: TRAVIS HEAD, Cricketer, Australia
'Yeah it's nice I've had a few opportunities now which has been awesome. There's no doubt I've loved being at home in the last couple of days and I can't wait to get underway. What I'm hearing is we're pretty much sold out for the most part of the test match which is exciting and we put on a seriously good show here so I can't wait to get involved.'
The Adelaide Test will be a Day-Night fixture and Australia will miss the services of Josh Hazlewood, who is known to do well with the pink ball. However, Head feels that Australia have apt bowlers to replace him.
BITE: TRAVIS HEAD, Cricketer, Australia
'Josh (Hazelwood) is obviously a huge asset for us he bowls so tight and aggressive and puts the ball in a great area. But I think Jhye (Richardson) and Ness (Michael Nesser) do exactly the same thing. And they're probably sitting there in the wings and they've been there for a little period of time now sort of waiting for their opportunity. I think both of them are ready to go.'

Though England's Ashes preparations have been in a disarray with bad weather preventing any play on the first day of their second intra-squad game in Brisbane on Tuesday, Jos Buttler is excited for the Ashes to start.
English wicketkeeper-batter Buttler, who completed his quarantine along with 4 other players after landing in Australia following the T20 World Cup in the UAE, said that excitement will kick in now that the players have come together for the first time since arriving Down Under.
'It's quite surreal that there's a match starting in nearly a week's time. So I'm sure everyone involved in the game of cricket is really excited by that prospect to see some action on the field, start talking about people's performances, teams performances and seeing a great battle at the Gabba,' added Buttler.

'Thought this might be the end', Ben Stokes says nearly choked on tablet in hotel room

Star England all-rounder Ben Stokes&nbsp;revealed that he almost choked on a tablet while he was in his hotel room on Sunday morning.
In his column for Daily Mirror, Stokes wrote that he was on his own in the room and couldn't breathe as it became lodged and started to dissolve. 'Until it actually came out, I thought this might be the end' added Stokes.&nbsp;
The 30-year-old then had another frightening incident the same day when he was hit by a ball on his forearm during England's practice session ahead of the 1st Ashes Test vs Australia. 'I couldn't lift it and thought it was broken' wrote Stokes. Thankfully, the pain and reaction settled down once he was back in the dressing room and the physios&nbsp;confirmed that it wasn't a break.

The resumption of Cricket's greatest rivalry may be in for a spoiler as the La Nina threat looms over The Ashes.
It may be concerning news for the broadcasters but England's James Anderson would definitely be licking his lips. There's probably no other bowler who exploits moisture in the air more than Jimmy. Interestingly, La Nina struck Australia during England's 2010 Ashes tour as well and Anderson rattled the Kangaroos in the 1st innings of&nbsp;the Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney Tests respectively. The 3 Lions won all those 3 matches and retained the urn.

England's preparations for the 1st Test at the Gabba were dampened after day two of their intra-squad match was abandoned in Brisbane.&nbsp;The visitors were unable to play due to a water-logged pitch. According to the met department, the miserable weather which is due to disturbance in the oceanic and atmospheric conditions is expected to hamper most of England&rsquo;s Ashes tour.&nbsp;Rainfall over eastern Australia can be around 20 per cent higher than usual from December to March when La Nina is in play.

Former Yorkshire cricketer Azeem Rafiq described his experiences of racism and discrimination at the club in graphic detail on Tuesday as he addressed UK Members of Parliament in the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
He told MPs the word 'P***' was "used constantly" across his two spells at Yorkshire and said that no one in authority stood up against racial harassment and bullying.
Rafiq accused Yorkshire of institutional racism in September last year, with the club launching an investigation soon afterwards.
However, their handling of it has been heavily criticised. Yorkshire finally published summary findings of the investigation in September this year and, while the investigation found there was "no question" Rafiq had been subjected to racial harassment and bullying, no individuals were called to face disciplinary action.
Rafiq told the DCMS, "Pretty early on, me and other people from an Asian background... there were comments such as 'you sit over there near the toilets', 'elephant washers'. The word 'P***' was used constantly. And there just seemed to be an acceptance in the institution from the leaders and no one ever stamped it out."

T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final: England vs New Zealand preview

T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final: England face New Zealand in a repeat of the 2019 ODI World Cup final

Emotions will run high when England take the field vs New Zealand in the T20 World Cup 2021 semi-final in Abu Dhabi&nbsp;on Wednesday. It will be a repeat of the 2019 ODI World Cup final, which is remembered for more than one reason apart from the 3 Lions winning it.
England come into the World T20 with the tag of being the pre-tournament favourites but their loss against South Africa in the last group game proved that they do have a chink in their armour. Moreover, star opener Jason Roy being ruled out has made matters worse for England.
BITE: MOEEN ALI, Cricketer, England
"I think the way he was batting as well it is a big blow, he is a confident player and when his confidence is high like it was, it's a big blow."
New Zealand&nbsp;on the other hand may not have one&nbsp;big player to rely on but they hunt as a pack. Maybe that's the reason the Kiwis have reached the semis or beyond in the last 5 ICC&nbsp;tournaments.
BITE: KANE WILLIAMSON, Captain, New Zealand
"They've got match-winners throughout their team. And that's been big, I suppose, movement of their white-ball side. Power-packed and bat deep as well."
Abu&nbsp;Dhabi&nbsp;has by far been the best batting surface among the 3 venues in this World T20, so one can expect a high scoring game.
