Though four of the top five failed, one player who must be singled out for his indiscretion is KL Rahul. His wicket started the collapse at the top of the order. It is probably wrong to say that he ‘threw away’ his wicket. Because, unlike someone like Kohli or Rahane who wanted to play an aggressive game as per plan and tried to take the game to the Australian bowlers, Rahul’s decision to play an aggressive shot was more out of desperation....

Oscar Franklin Smith, 70, is due to be executed on June 4 for the 1989 slayings of his estranged wife Judy Lynn Smith and her two sons, Chad and Jason Burnett. Last month, Smith’s attorneys filed a motion seeking to delay Smith’s execution by six months, saying the severe disruptions to daily life during the COVID-19 outbreak had hindered their ability to prepare a clemency case for Smith, who has always maintained his innocence....

However, the problem that’s arguably the most annoying is the power draw issues affecting these behemoth GPUs.

LIBREVILLE (Reuters) - Gabon were stronger than the other teams in their African Nations Cup finals group but were undone by poor preparations, leading forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang said on Monday as the hosts headed out of the competition. “We had everything to qualify, we had chances. Unfortunately, there are days where it does not work out, like my first opportunity two metres from the goal,” Aubameyang said of a golden early opportunity in Sunday’s final Group A game against Cameroon....

Last season’s Bundesliga top scorer was widely tipped to leave Dortmund after the 2016-17 campaign, with clubs all over Europe and in China credited with interest.

Coming in as the eighth highest selling game for August 2018 is the 2009 shooter, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. What certainly helped the game is that Microsoft added it to its Xbox One backward compatibility service on August 28, a move which fans have been requesting for quite a while. The digital sales combined with the Xbox 360 retail copies sold helped push this title back into the top 10 for the first time in quite a while....

As pointed out by the Panthers, Dillon is a huge fan of the team. You can read more about that aspect of his life here.

Speaking about fielding at short leg, he said: “I don’t hate it because I feel like I’m always in the game in the subcontinent. I feel like it’s an important position. At times it is quite painful and scary. You can sometimes hear the ball fizzing past you. You can certainly feel it hit you when it does. Whenever you get scared you kind of just look at the badge on your helmet and it makes it all worthwhile....

It came in Adelaide Oval played from Dec 12-16, 2003, almost 15 years back.

With history being made in Adelaide, India will now go to Perth in the hope of going 2-0 up. However, Australia will undoubtedly want to hit back firing at all cylinders, in order to redeem themselves. Playing without two of their main batsmen, Steve Smith and David Warner, the hosts have a batting lineup that is quite lackluster. Before the start of the series itself, India were termed favorites, and now they have proved why....

To add to their misery, India won the toss and batted first in the Sydney Test to rule the Aussies out of the game after pummeling runs in excess of 600 in the first innings. Australia was down and out, with rain forcing the New Year’s Test match to be drawn at Sydney. As a result, India won the series 2-1, their first on the Australian soil in their cricketing history of past 71 years touring this country....
