Resuming the day at 329/9, the visitors added 20 more runs to be finally bowled out for 349 as Pragyan Ojha got rid of Andrew Fekete for 10. After conceding a first innings lead of 214, India were jolted upfront as skipper Cheteshwar Pujara got out cheaply for 11, failing to make his ground. Opener Abhinav Mukund and India’s Test captain Virat Kohli then got together to put on a partnership of 63 runs for the second wicket....
The Base is a far-right, neo-Nazi and white supremest group that was formed in the United States in 2018. It is the second far-right group to make the Australian banned terrorist organization list, Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews said. “I have sufficient information in front of me to be concerned and to understand that The Base meets the threshold for listing as a terrorist organization,” Andrews said. “We will look closely at their membership and we will take action once they are fully listed under the Criminal Code....
Like many countries in the Indo-Pacific region, Australia’s economic ties with China surpassed those with the United States years ago. This is an especially awkward position for America’s allies—for years, they have been loath to choose between their leading economic partner and their leading security partner. However, Australia found itself in a new situation as its relations with China have steadily deteriorated. Many tie that downturn to Australia’s call for an inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic last year....
The South American nation, ranked 13th in the world, are set to face France in March next year with respected Colombian journalist Diego Rueda reporting Australia is set to be their second opponent. While he admits nothing has yet been officially confirmed or signed, the match would most likely take place in Europe and makes a lot of sense for all involved. Incidentally both France and the Socceroos have been drawn in Group C for the World Cup so Colombia could well prove an ideal measuring stick leading up to the event....
Earlier this August, the Classification Board decided to entirely block the physical sale of DayZ and later removed it from all online stores as well. The hassles came down to a rule which prohibited “illicit or proscribed drug use related to incentives or rewards”–in this case referring to the mention of marijuana as a usable substance. RELATED: Top 10 Permadeath Games In response, Bohemia then decided not to fight the restrictions and instead work within them, announcing that it would be modifying the worldwide version of DayZ to suit Australia’s classifications....
However, that doesn’t justify in any way our flurry of inactivity in the year gone by. A year spent mocking and being mocked. A year spent spreading caricatures on facebook, mourning the existential crisis of Sonia Gandhi, praising Tharoor on Twitter and getting re-tweeted, cursing and diagnosing India’s downfall in cricket. The last one here is the most important as it is related to the subject about which, without wandering, I should write about....
Electing to bat first, everyone was excited about Virat Kohli, who was playing his third Test at this venue. Undoubtedly, the Aussies dreaded him the most as the Indian skipper had scored three centuries from two Tests at this venue. However, it was Cheteshwar Pujara who stole the show in the first Test with his match-winning performance in both the innings. His 16th Test hundred ensured India reached a competitive total in the first innings....
Indian skipper Virat Kohli decided to bat first after winning the toss. Once again, Indian openers failed to deliver in overseas conditions and soon visitors were reduced to 41 for 4. At this time, Cheteshwar Pujara held the fort and struck one of the finest centuries of his career. Before getting run-out, Pujara scored 123. India ended up on 250. In reply, Aussies, too, fumbled at the start as Aaron Finch fell in the very first over....
Also see – World cup under 19 point table Glenn Phillips, who is yet to make his Test debut, has been called in as a cover for the illness-hit Black Caps. New Zealand coach Gary Stead said, Williamson has been in poor form and has a point to prove in the third Test. Thus, Stead believes that the skipper will be missed if he is unable to play. However, the coach has faith in his squad and feels the players have it in them to fight for pride in the final Test....

Ones to Watch players change ratings throughout the season based on the performance of their real players, and the in-forms they receive, thus making them some of the most sought-after cards on the market. New Manchester United winger Alexis Sanchez headlines the current crop, with a base rating of 89, and is joined by his replacement at Arsenal, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Barcelona’s Philippe Coutinho, Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa and Tottenham’s Lucas Moura....
The Gunners skipper had a mixed day at Selhurst Park, opening the scoring with his 14th Premier League goal of the season before being dismissed for the first time in his Arsenal career after Jordan Ayew had levelled for the hosts. Aubameyang was initially only cautioned for his rash tackle on Meyer, but that was later changed to a red card by referee Paul Tierney after a lengthy VAR review, with replays showing the Arsenal striker had sunk his studs into the Palace midfielder’s ankle....
The 28-year-old is close to a move to Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund after agreeing in principle with the Gunners. The forward has scored 13 top-flight goals this season for the German side and the former Dortmund assistant manager has no doubt regarding the striker’s goalscoring ability. “He will be top class. He is a top-class striker, goalscorer - he has everything,” Wagner told Sky Sports. “The club who will sign him can be very happy for sure....

Charlene Rubush received an outpouring of support from outraged fans after she was denied the prize in the Bonus Round—despite correctly solving the puzzle—in a show that aired earlier this week. For the category “What are you doing?,” Rubush added her own choice of letters to the customary R, S, T, L, N and E that came with the puzzle, before incorrectly guessing that the answer was: “Choosing the right card....
Audi’s previous three electric concepts push the boundaries of elegance and autonomy. It started with Skysphere, a long and wheelbase-morphing convertible in August 2021. Audi followed that up with the Grandsphere concept the following month. The electric Grandsphere was a 17-foot, four-door grand tourer with Level 4 autonomous driving. Audi called it a private jet for the road. And then in April of 2022 it showed off the Urbansphere, a tiny, Chinese-market van made for cities with lots of traffic....
