There were several updates in the cricket world on June 8. As day 2 of the World Test Championship final (WTC) 2023 got underway, veteran Australian batter Steve Smith completed his century. Many players came to the front to congratulate Smith on his wondrous knock. Former Indian batter Gautam Gambhir posted pictures of the inauguration of Guru Gobind Singh University.

South African professional Tabraiz Shamsi reminisced about his debut for the national team seven years ago. Former England skipper Michael Vaughan took to Twitter to give his take on what kind of surface would work best against Australia for the upcoming Ashes series, seeing the side’s brilliance with the bat in the WTC final.

England have won Ashes series at home in the last 22 yrs on pitches that have offered movement or Spin for Swann in 2013 .. Not so sure flat pitches will work against this Aussie team .. #JustSaying #Ashes

Partnerships are bound to happen but you still have to restrict the scoring by bowling tight lines. A wicketless session doesn't hurt as much when it's gone for 90-100 runs and not 147 which Ind gave in the final session yesterday. Goes without saying Ashwin was missed. #WTCFinal

It’s time to fight back and make Day 2 ours. This India side has it in them to do it and they’ll need to get Smith and Head early this morning to spark that comeback. Come on 🇮🇳! #WTCFinal 🏆 📺: youtu.be/yVlPQgUMLgQ
