I n 2015, England was knocked out by Bangladesh in the Quarterfinals of the world cup, and that is when they decided to make a 360-degree change to the make-up of the team and the style of cricket which they wanted to play going forward. Let us take a detailed look into their batting order and try to decipher why they are so lethal in the 50 over format....
#1 Hanuma Vihari makes debut The big surprise came when the team management gave us a shock by selecting Hanuma Vihari in place of Hardik Pandya, overlooking Karun Nair. Nair had been with the team on the tour since the first test, but Vihari who joined the team after the three test matches was preferred ahead of him. Legendary Sunil Gavaskar who is a part of the expert panel for the broadcasters was visibly very upset by it....
Unfortunately, two games into the series and India’s tour of England is fast approaching the resounding horrors of 2011 and 2014. While a lack of application by the batsmen in the 4th innings cost the first Test, a horrendous show in all departments saw the Indians account a humiliating defeat in the second Test. Already 0-2 down in the series and its chips fast disintegrating, the Indian team certainly has its back to the walls....
However, they know that all those victories at home would count for very less if they are not able to prove themselves and put up a fight in England. On the other hand, England has been very solid with their performances at home. They have a perfect balance of some very conventional test cricketers with the likes of Alastair Cook and James Anderson but at the same time in Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, they have players who can change the cause of the match in a sessions play alone....
After spending the entirety of the series under immense scrutiny against the moving ball, Indian opener KL Rahul adopted an aggressive approach to tackle the challenge posed by England’s new-ball specialists. Rahul’s attacking route initially appeared to pay dividends as he raced to 37 from 52 deliveries. This was his highest score from nine innings in the series thus far. When the tide seemed to be changing for the elegant right-hander, he found himself on the receiving end of a truly special delivery from Curran....
Williams, who will compete in the WTA 1000 tournament for the final time after recently announcing her retirement via a first-person essay in Vogue Magazine, will nevertheless be the center of attention. The match, which promises to be an epic encounter, will be a meeting of champions from the current and former generation of women’s tennis. Raducanu, who is almost 21 years younger than the American, won the US Open last year as a qualifier....
The show centers on a married couple trying to conceive a baby while starring on their own HGTV show, all the while dealing with a possible curse. It’s most likely as bizarre as it sounds, which seems to be right up the alley of everyone involved. Fielder and Stone will play the couple while Safdie takes on directing duties along with his brother Benny Safdie, the latter of whom will also star in the series....
Emmy’s far from drowning. Once again, she bobs up between the ease of country and the surreal romanticism of arty folk rock. “Red Dirt Girl” is a delicate yet substantial blend of deeply personal ballads, sung in her bittersweet, longing voice. It rides atop more traditional arrangements than her last record, 1995’s “Wrecking Ball,” but adopts some of the more woozy effects that made that album one of her most eclectic....
The turn-based mafia strategy game released last year to polarizing reviews. Some who reviewed Empire of Sin were pulled into the atmospheric, 1920s Chicago setting, while others were taken out of the experience by bugs and balance issues. The game from famed Doom designer John Romero and his wife Brenda has players take on the role of mob bosses, each inspired by real-life Chicago gangsters from the Prohibition era. As players build their empire, they can gain more territory by force, through turn-based strategic combat, or through persuasive means and deal making....
In a viral video posted November 4, TikTok user @spillame lamented over a vicious cycle commonly associated with retail work, and argued that her experience dealing with customers should serve as qualification for employment elsewhere. “When [your] ’temporary’ part time retail job through college has transitioned into a full time retail job,” @spillame wrote, in a text overlaying a video of herself. “And every job you apply to denies you because you have no experience in anything other than retail,” she added....
The sleek presentation and intuitive graphical interface make it easy for anyone to install EndeavourOS, one of the most advanced bleeding-edge Linux operating systems. What Is EndeavourOS? EndeavourOS is aimed at intermediate and advanced Linux users. The graphical installer simplifies the initial setup, but the installer will still give you a long list of choices when it comes to what exactly gets installed on your system. A side benefit of the GUI installer is that many options are laid out for you, whereas if you were installing Arch through a terminal environment, you might not even be aware of most of the software choices that are available to you....

But the sector’s disappointing contributions to the state treasury has forged wide support among Bolivian politicians for restoring the former royalties and state control. Some have even suggested nationalizing the gas industry. Voters will cast ballots next month in the country’s first-ever referendum on natural-gas policies. “The people demand the recovery of the gas from the transnational corporations,” says labor unionist Roberto de la Cruz. “It is the only way to reduce poverty....
Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer are still missing from action after being unavailable through injuries. Stokes is closing in on his recovery and is expected to feature for Durham in the T20 Blast tournament soon. Eoin Morgan, as expected, has been named as the captain of the side. Joe Root also returned to the ODI set-up after he was not involved in the limited-overs series against India earlier this year....
All the latest transfer rumours The Young Lions took the lead at the start of the second half as Aston Villa centre-back Easah Suliman headed in Mason Mount’s free-kick. A Dujon Sterling own goal brought Portugal level although Lukas Nmecha grabbed what proved to be the winner in the 68th minute. There were nervy moments at the end of the game with England reduced to 10 men after Fulham midfielder Adetayo Edun was given his marching orders....
Saker is slated to join the team ahead of the team’s seven-match T20I series against Pakistan, while Hussey will join the coaching staff for the all-important tournament in Australia. The pair will join the existing support staff comprising Richard Dawson and Carl Hopkinson. The white-ball side have been going through a transition since Matthew Mott took over from Chris Silverwood as head coach. Another drastic change saw Jos Buttler being appointed as captain following Eoin Morgan’s retirement from international cricket....
Moeen was left out of England’s last five-day assignment, a draw with New Zealand in Christchurch, with Somerset’s Jack Leach called up for a debut in his stead. And there was no place for Moeen in the 12-man squad for the upcoming two-match series against Pakistan, which was released on Tuesday. A broken thumb has ruled Leach out, prompting England to call up his uncapped county team-mate Dom Bess, while Moeen has been limited to a bit-part role with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League....
Denly is yet to reach a ton for England from 23 Test innings, though he has shown consistency with the bat while players around him – such as captain Joe Root – have struggled, and did hit 103 against South Africa A in a warm-up match last month. However, Denly is content to keep on playing the role of a batsman who can be relied on to reach double figures, having scored 50, 31, 38 and 31 in his four innings so far against South Africa....
Henderson damaged ligaments in Thursday’s 1-1 Europa League draw with Borussia Dortmund in Germany and was expected to miss six to eight weeks, leaving him little time to return to match fitness before Euro 2016 starting on June 10. But Klopp said his captain could be back for Liverpool’s final games of the season. “It (Henderson’s injury) is serious, but it’s not that serious that there’s no hope for us for maybe the last one or two games, and of course there’s hope for the European Championship,” the German told the club’s website (www....
