His two dismissals in SCG to Hilfenhaus is evident to support this theory. On both occasions, he played outside the line of the delivery and left a gap between bat and pad. Hilfenhaus who generally bowls away swing, rare to see his action permits an incoming delivery. Laxman’s dismissal in the 2nd innings was a away swing, as Laxman expected the ball to come in. Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly is equally bewildered and wonders if Dravid is not going forward enough and with his bat always in front of his pads, it is leaving a big gap for the ball to breach his defence....

The 14-member squad led by Maharashtra’s Ankit Bawne also features Jharkhand fast bowler Varun Aaron, who last wore national colours way back in 2015 in a rain-marred Test match against South Africa in Bengaluru. Statistically, Aaron with 25 wickets from seven Ranji Trophy matches, hasn’t had an exceptional season but as per sources close to selection committee, the once injury-prone Jharkhand speedster will be monitored in order to broaden the fast bowling pool....

After nine years in the broadcast booth, three straight weeks of blown second-half leads and a roller-coaster game that featured three lead changes and 38 points after the start of the fourth quarter, Gruden finally won his first game in 3,591 days. “It feels like my first win in 100 years,” he said. “It’s great to be back.” Derek Carr threw four TD passes and a game-tying 2-point conversion with 30 seconds left in regulation to set up McCrane’s 29-yard field goal in overtime that gave the Raiders a come-from-behind 45-42 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday....

The Raiders are the most blameless, upright, God-fearing and evil-shunning team in the National Football League. OK. Stating it that way is more of a stretch than plyometrics, but the silver and black has been as close to a band of model citizens as you’ll find in the league as of late. Oakland is the only team in the NFL to go without an arrest the past three seasons. The Raiders earned (if you want to call it that) the distinction, following Junior Gallette’s arrest after the Redskins linebacker was charged with disorderly conduct and failure to comply with police officers, SB Nation reports....

Armed with a smile, a massive bottle of champagne, and a video camera, Lake took to Twitter to make the big Quantum Break announcement: [HTML1] Having claimed that the game was “so close” to being finished just last month, this news is sure to appease every Quantum Break fan out there. Gamers have been waiting patiently for years for Quantum Break, as the game has been repeatedly delayed for numerous reasons, chief among them being the need to make the game as good as it could possibly be....

Of course, this isn’t the first time that we’ve heard rumblings of Quantum Break making its way to PC. Previously, Phil Spencer suggested that Quantum Break and other Xbox One exclusives could come to PC, such as Scalebound from Platinum Games and Crackdown 3. So while Quantum Break on PC isn’t all that surprising, its new PC Brazilian rating suggests that it may be coming to PC much sooner than anticipated....

From her closest confidents and advisors to chefs, communications assistants and cleaners, the queen’s staff turned out to pay their respects across the ceremonial aspects of Monday’s state funeral. One of the key members of the queen’s household to attend the funeral at Westminster Abbey was her dresser Angela Kelly.

Catherine Hardwicke, the director behind the suspenseful and thought-provoking Quibi talked with Newsweek recently about how the show came to be and how technology definitely could evolve into what viewers will see in Don’t Look Deeper, which is set “15 minutes into the future.” “You could feel like this could actually happen any moment right now,” Hardwicke said. “We know that there’s things going on all over the world, different companies being creative....

He stepped into a pack of about 100 reporters, his crisp white shirt blinding in the searing sun. “Just look up into the sky,” he said, where, as luck would have it, a skywriting plane was puffing out J-E-B. Then Bush seized his last chance to brand his Democratic challenger, Bill McBride, a reckless tax-and-spend liberal. “This is not a time to be raising taxes,” Bush declared. In response to reports of hours-long waits at some polling sites, he urged Floridians to be patient....

Cool it, friends. I don’t know whether prices will be up or down by the time you read this, but the long-term case for holding well-diversified stocks is always good. True, stocks have gone nowhere for seven long years, measured from the bubble peak. But even counting the bust, Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index has averaged 7.5 percent a year over the past 10 years, with dividends reinvested. That’s less than its long-term average of 11....

Devereaux Cannick, one of Kelly’s lawyers, said the musician is broke because he’d been unable to work for two years, and asked for the transcripts to be provided at no charge. “His funds are depleted,” Cannick said of Kelly. Kelly awaits a sex-trafficking trial that starts in earnest next week, and has remained in prison since his arrest on multiple federal charges in 2019. In addition to the hearings in New York, Kelly is also facing sex-related charges in Illinois and Minnesota....

Chopra, all of 20, justified all the faith in him when he hurled the javelin to a distance of 86.47m at the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, falling short of his personal best record by just 0.01m. That made him the first ever gold medallist in that discipline from India as the Panipat-born star created history. The ever-improving Chopra took it one step further when the Diamond League season began in Doha in May....

Recalling her contribution to the band’s success, Cartwright said that the frontwoman of Detroit Cobras was more than just a performer and carried the torch of R&B music to the fans globally. The band members did not reveal the cause of Nagy’s death but said that they will keep their fans updated on her future memorial service.

DIESEL: Ah, you do have to ask, right? And I have to say: any other questions? [laughs] We did it in Las Vegas, probably a bad place to do a 6 a.m. class of any kind. At 5:35 in the morning, I was still rolling the dice. Nine years. Great way to keep your days free [for auditions]. I enjoy those larger-than-life characters. But I’m an actor first. And then the physique comes into play....

No NFL team in recent memory has suffered worse luck in the second round of the NFL draft via picks or trades than the Dolphins — making his success in Miami a definite break from the norm.

"I think we're at a seven (out of 10)," Marquez told journalists in Mexico City on Thursday. "We're undefeated under Miguel, although there are still lots of things to improve." Marquez highlighted El Tri's poor first half and improved second 45 against the United States in Wednesday's 2-2 tie, indicating that the team has to learn from both experiences. "I hope that the seven can become a ten in the time that we have," added Marquez....
