India entered into the contest as favourites, something rare for a side playing against England at their own backyard. However, there were strong reasons to support this notion, with the conditions largely being un-English, with temperatures regularly hovering around 30ºC. The pitches were dry, with a fair bit of grass on them, providing vital assistance for the spinners. In addition to the duo of Ashwin-Jadeja, England were wary of chinaman Kuldeep Yadav, who had annihilated the batting line-up in the limited-overs leg....

You really are some batsman when you receive such praise from a legend of the game and that too, Sunil Gavaskar. Right from that stamping test debut where Cook scored a half-century and then a century in the second innings versus India in Nagpur, Alastair Cook has certainly come a long way. Before the start of the 2018 series against India, one would have never thought that another great of the game would be retiring....

He scored 18 points on 5-for-16 shooting from the field (1-for-3 from three-point range) against the Beijing Ducks — a team that featured former NBA journeyman Stephon Marbury. MORE: UnderArmour inks Mudiay | Larry Brown says Mudiay going pro was “bad idea” Mudiay didn’t start for the Tigers, but he still managed to pull down rebounds and dish out two assists in his 30 minutes on the floor. He also committed two turnovers....

Endobronchial ultrasound is considered safe and minimally invasive, neither exposing you to ionizing radiation nor surgery. Typically performed on an outpatient basis, it can also help diagnose certain inflammatory lung diseases that cannot be confirmed with standard imaging tests. Purpose of the Procedure If you have been diagnosed with lung cancer (or initial tests are strongly suggestive of it), endobronchial ultrasonography may be ordered alongside traditional bronchoscopy.

Williamson entered a five-day isolation period soon after, with Tom Latham stepping into his shoes as captain. The Blackcaps’ official Twitter handle shared an update on their skipper’s availability and is set to return to the XI for the final Test. Williamson’s return comes as a major shot in the arm for New Zealand, who have conceded the series to the hosts. Earlier today, all-rounder Michael Bracewell, who debuted in the second Test, was sent into a five-day isolation period having contracted the COVID-19 virus....

Since then, that budding engineer has watched 30-odd years go by, an amazing third of a century that whizzed by as if on fast forward. I’ve had the pleasure to count among my friends a handful of people who have walked on the moon, a Nobel laureate and a couple of individuals who revolutionized the world with the invention of something called the integrated circuit (aptly known in Japan as “industrial rice”), to mention but a few....

This wasn’t the final people would’ve dreamt of, considering how strong Australia and India were looking at different points in the competition. Yet, as the game dawned upon everyone, this suddenly became the final everybody wanted. Not because the ICC Cricket World Cup was going to be guaranteed a new winner but also because of the richness of the rivalry in the past few years. Both England and New Zealand slugged it out at the Lord’s Cricket Ground under uncharacteristically clear skies....

Andrew Strauss, Graeme Swann, Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott, Alastair Cook, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, and Ian Bell formed the core of England’s team during their dream run at the start of the decade. But amidst their growing stature in the whites, the English continued to be behind the time in white-ball cricket. The love for Test cricket and the simultaneous ignorance for limited overs cricket was clearly visible in their below par show....

England refused to be cowed by a 103-run first-innings deficit, building a 343-run lead when they batted again and then destroying the tourists with an immaculate performance in the field that saw six wickets tumble between lunch and tea. Pakistan’s most determined resistance came in the final session when a last-wicket stand of 50 between Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali frustrated England as the overs ticked down and play entered the final hour....

Burns was hurt when he landed awkwardly during Thursday’s session ahead of the Newlands Test and scans showed he has ligament damage in his left ankle. In a statement confirming his injury, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) said Burns “will return home for further assessment and treatment at the earliest convenience”. The opener made 93 runs across his two innings as England slipped to a 107-run loss at Centurion in the first Test....

The traditional home and away colours of white and red are preserved, but Nike have gone for a change of design, moving away from the two-tone style of the last edition in the ‘2018 England Collection’. The home kit is all white, with a blue Nike swoosh on the right-hand side of the chest, with the England badge on the left. A thin red line is present on the collar and it looks like red numbers will be in operation too....

The all-rounder has already been caught four times for over-speeding and has been banned till mid-December for admitting that he reached speeds of 75mph in a 50mph zone, the Sun reported on Wednesday. The 25-year-old, who was smashed for four consecutive sixes in the World T20 final against the West Indies recently, pleaded guilty at the court on Tuesday. Stokes is presently on a break from national duty and is getting ready for the One-Day Internationals against Sri Lanka....

On the heels of England’s rampant 6-2 victory in the opener against Iran, English fans jeered their team after a labored performance at the Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, where they were outplayed by the U.S. side for significant sections of Friday’s match. “England fans when we’re trying to score a goal but American fans are chanting “DE-FENCE DE-FENCE,” wrote Solyman Jamy on Twitter, with a clip of a soccer manager in England holding his head in his hands....

The hosts are coming off a 1-1 draw at Lecce last weekend. Fabiano Parisi put the visitors ahead in the 23rd minute, but Gabriel Sterefezza’s 40th-minute equaliser ensured that the points were shared at the Stadio Via del Mare. Verona, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat to Atalanta at home. Teun Koopmeiners’ 50th-minute strike for La Dea was the difference between the two teams. The defeat extended I Gialloblu’s winless run in Serie A to seven games, leaving them just outside the relegation zone with one point....

“He just casually kept strolling right on up to us,” Lydia McCracken told Fox31. “He seemed very social. My dog was not about it, he started kind of barking.” McCracken also told Newsweek she was “too shocked” about seeing the emu and felt “weirdly calm.” She said the emu followed her dog for a few minutes before leaving. The large bird moved on after a few minutes and McCracken said she called animal control at the humane society shortly after it left....
