There have been phases when the batsmen of both teams have played well, but the all-rounders and bowlers have outshone them. In India’s case, it has been Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara amongst the runs up until the fourth Test. In England’s case though, the rear-guard action has been even more pronounced. It was Sam Curran in the first and third Tests and Jos Buttler along with Stuart Broad in the fifth Test....
England captain Joe Root won the toss and decided to bat first. The decision did not pay off as Tim Murtagh struck early to dismiss the debutant Jason Roy for 5. Joe Denly and Rory Burns struggled against the Ireland bowlers, but remained steady and added 28 runs for the 2nd wicket. Murtagh then struck again, getting the wicket of Burns for 6. From 36 for 2, Ireland reduced the hosts to 43 for 7....

If Enron’s meteoric rise was a case study in New Economy success stories; its collapse is a lesson for investors, accountants, analysts, regulators and politicians. Already, some of the country’s largest companies, including General Electric and IBM, have announced that they will provide more transparency in their accounting. Others are expected to follow. Could this mean permanent changes in financial reporting and regulations, or is this a short-term solution until Enron fades from the headlines?...
“At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Twitter. “We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.” The New York Times and the Associated Press reported that the entire D.C. National Guard of approximately 1,100 troops was being deployed in response to a request from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser....
This week the Epic Games Store is giving away Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, and last week it offered Civilization 6, but Sweeney stands fast that these sorts of offerings are a good thing. Sweeney claims that players don’t fully know whether they’re interested in something until they try it, and getting the games for free is a great way to do that.

However, Epic Games seems to have other plans for their successful series this year outside of Gears 3. This news comes straight from Microsoft after GameStop accidentally leaked a bundle called Gears of War Ultimate just yesterday. The GameStop listing has since been taken down and not much is known about this new game except for its very reasonable retail price of $29.99 and the game’s extremely close release date — February 15th, 2011....

And yet they falter. Planning is consistent, their execution is erratic. Cricket has often been compared with life and there are several reasons why there is a striking similarity. Both are vacillating, they scream out for consistency, they do not guarantee success and they are never unswerving. England were meandering along in the 50-over format and were shunted out of the 2015 World Cup by Bangladesh. They had followed a process like a caged tiger and their music suddenly stopped....
The India captain began the day at the crease and contributed to a 113-run, 289-ball stand for the third wicket with Cheteshwar Pujara (72) en route to a knock of 103 and a 521-run lead after a declaration. With nine overs and two days remaining, England required a fourth-innings total far beyond the West Indies’ record successful chase of 418 in a 2003 Test against Australia. And India’s grasp on the third match - a belated foothold in a series they trail 2-0 - was scarcely loosened by the embattled hosts’ feat of reaching the close on 23 without loss, still 498 runs short of victory....

The Black Caps posted a mammoth 615-9 declared in their first innings at Mount Maunganui - their highest score against England - before reducing their opponents to 55-3 by stumps on day four. Watling top-scored with 205 while Santner made his maiden Test century, the pair combining in a record seventh-wicket stand of 261 that forced the tourists to stay out in the field for 201 overs. England only managed 353 in their first innings having at one stage reached 277-4, with their failure to score big now leaving them facing a final-day battle to save the match....
Harry Maguire and Dele Alli scored with headers in a 2-0 win over Sweden on Saturday, earning England’s youthful team a match against Croatia for a place in the final on July 15. “We looked composed,” England captain Harry Kane said. “We looked like we controlled the game.” England’s fairly muted celebrations reflected the routine nature of the victory over a hard-working Swedish side that had already gone further than expected in its first major tournament without Zlatan Ibrahimovic....
The 34-year-old, England’s leading test wicket-taker with 463 victims, was named in the squad for the tour to Bangladesh where they play two tests next month. England travel to India in early November for a five-test series. “It’s a tough one because as a player if you’re fit you want to play, simple as that, no matter what the format you’re desperate to play,” Anderson told reporters. “But there may well come a time when it will get managed....
Lehmann, during his playing days, was known for his flair and aggression with the bat and as a coach he is keen to inculcate the same spirit in the team. But, though the Australian team was lauded for playing an enterprising brand of cricket in the recent Ashes series in England, in his heart of hearts Lehmann would happily trade some of Australia’s flamboyance for the test wins that England secured with the help of ‘dour’ cricket....
The 24-year-old didn’t play in Arsenal’s Premier League match against Stoke Sunday despite being initially named in the team, reports Xinhua. “Theo will be out for a few weeks. He has developed some damage to his posterior abdominal wall. It’s not a hernia but it’s a little structural problem in his abdomen,” said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. 0 votes
