Despite such a poor Test record in Australia, many cricket pundits consider the upcoming tour as the best chance for the Indian team to finally win a Test series Down Under. This time around, India are scheduled to play 3 T20I, 4 Test matches and 3 ODIs. The Australian team is currently going through a rough patch in international cricket and will be without the services of their two key batsmen: David Warner and Steve Smith....

There is definitely some merit in the school of thought that believes Kohli should have enforced the follow-on. First and foremost, the Indian bowlers did not have to go through a grind to take the 10 Aussie wickets, unlike their Australian counterparts. They had to bowl just 66.5 overs in the Australian first innings, more than 100 overs fewer than what the Australian bowlers had to bowl during the Indian innings....

Starting the second day at 250 for 9, Mohammed Shami was dismissed off the very first ball of day by Josh Hazlewood. India got off to the perfect start as Ishant Sharma castled Aaron Finch in the first over itself. Debutant Marcus Harris and Usman Khawaja steadied the Australian innings by putting on 45 runs for the second wicket. Ashwin dismissed Harris for 26 and Australia went into lunch at 57 for 2....

From Australia’s point of view, losing the zingy cauldron of WACA is another jolt. Even though India won in Perth in 2007-08 in an epic game, touring sides have always struggled to cope with the bounce and many have found their techniques fall short to negotiate it. But a new venue in Perth has come up – Optus Stadium. This 60,000-seat Burswood venue will get red-ball cricket action after hosting the first ODI between South Africa and Australia earlier in the summer....

After winning the toss and electing to bat first, century from David Warner and fifties from Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell helped Australia post a mammoth 353/6. While most of the Pakistan bowlers went for runs, Hasan Ali was the pick of the lot as he finished with figures of 10-1-52-5. In response, Pakistan got off to a brisk start despite the early loss of captain Azhar Ali. Sharjeel Khan’s 47-ball 74 kept the visitors in the hunt....

The home side come into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Japan last month. Ao Tanaka’s first-half strike and Aziz Behich’s second-half own goal helped the Blue Samurai secure maximum points. Saudi Arabia dispatched China with a 3-2 victory on home turf. Sami Al-Najei scored a first-half brace to help the Green Falcons secure the win. This will be a clash between the top two sides in Group B....

Attorney Patricia Carroll called on the attorney general to investigate the Tallahassee Police Department's handling of the case, saying that detectives failed to interview key witnesses, used unreliable and incomplete forensic tests and never tested the alleged victim's blood for the presence of date-rape drugs. MORE: Heisman winners | SN All-Americans "It appears to me to be a complete failure of an investigation of a rape case," Carroll said during the 90-minute news conference....

Swain was seen standing around appearing to be fine just moments before falling to the ground. The players had just broken the huddle and he was untouched at the time. Some pundits accused Swain of faking his injury to cut into the Razorbacks' mounting momentum, but Tigers coach Gus Malzahn insisted that was not the case. The Tigers went on to win, 35-17.

Full moons are an astronomical phenomenon that occur roughly once a month when the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon. In this situation, the face of the moon that we can see is fully lit up by our star, appearing like a perfect circle. Technically the term “full moon” refers to the specific moment when our natural satellite is directly opposite the sun. In August this moment will take place at 8:29 a....

Whereas the Anker power bank offers 3200mAh of power, this Aukey has 5000mAh. However, you also need to consider the efficiency of the power bank, and while Anker claims 90 percent is available to the user, Aukey makes no such claims. With the industry averaging 65- to 70 percent efficiency, you can reasonably expect just short of 3500mAh from the Aukey, but 2880mAh from the Anker. That 620mAh difference is the equivalent of a third of a charge for most iPhones, and less for many Android phones....

Looking sharp is this frame’s main job, after all. With a higher, 2K (2048 x 1536) screen resolution than its 1600 x 1200 predecessor, it looks really bright and vivid. The glossy pictures it displays pop when viewing them straight on. Even from extreme side angles, these memories are still highly visible. While the Mason Luxe might not be able to overcome my inertia, it does display the photos it has stored with a resounding brilliance....

Australia scored three goals between the 14th and 17th minutes through Justin Douglas, Francis Main and captain Daniel Beale, respectively, establishing a comfortable lead. Argentina regrouped promptly and Joaquin Leonel Coelho reduced the deficit in the 31st minute ahead of the break. Jeremy Hayward increased the Australian lead early in second period with a penalty corner just under the bar. The Burras scored their fifth goal in the 49th minute after a long run by Beale, passing to Casey Hammond, who put it in....

Guus Hiddink led the Socceroos to their first ever World Cup knockout-stage appearance in Germany and Arnold has matched the feat 16 years later. Despite losing to 4-1 to defending champions France in their opening game, Australia held their nerve to defeat Tunisia and Denmark and progress to the Round of 16. Arnold is not blessed with the Premier League quality available to Hiddink, with the A-League Men providing eight players for his squad, but their gritty approach will make them a force to be reckoned with in the knockout stages....

2010 was the year, one Pakistan and Hafeez won’t look back upon with fond memories. While The Professor didn’t bat and conceded 20 runs in the two overs he bowled, Mike Hussey’s astonishing assault on the previously unplayable Saeed Ajmal got Australia over the line and into the final with one ball to spare. Australia eventually fell short against England and are still without a T20 World Cup title, but they too have two members of that spirited side who are still in the mix....

The Australian team had last lifted a World Cup trophy in 1989, reports Xinhua. Day’s teammate Adam Scott and Denmark golfer Thomas Bjorn put Day under huge pressure during the last day of the tournament. However, Day kept his cool on the back nine to claim the individual title. Thanks to Day and Scott’s excellent performance, Australia won the team title at Royal Melbourne, carding 17 under. The United States were second, trailing Australia by 10 shots....

Therefore, atypical depression is a specific type of presentation of major depressive disorder. It can also be associated with other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder (a condition involving extreme mood disturbances) or dysthymia, now known as persistent depressive disorder (a chronic, mild to severe depressed mood). So, what is the difference between an atypical depression and one that is not? What causes atypical depression and what type of treatment works best?...
