Pant’s match-winning ability was probably never in doubt when it came to the longer formats. However, he has pretty modest numbers in T20Is despite being backed by the management for over 50 games. But with the return of big guns like KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, the southpaw couldn’t find a place in India’s middle-order.

Listen to this: “Beating (Auburn) was just another game,” Alabama defensive tackle A’Shawn Robinson said. “We’ve got bigger games to play....

But the circumstances Thursday night weren’t regular. It was Crawford’s first game since Dec. 23 of last year in New Jersey after missing almost 10 months with a severe concussion. Over that time, speculation about Crawford’s status intensified with every game he missed, and that occurred while the Blackhawks cratered to the bottom of the Central Division. When his name was announced as a starter, the capacity crowd roared. And the times he touched the puck - even on routine saves - were met with loud cheers....

Here at Stumper headquarters, I’ve made a habit of tracking statements by the candidate or her campaign on the subject. Let’s just say I’m starting to get dizzy.

On March 14, I reported that Iowa county delegates pledged to Obama were receiving robocalls from the Clinton campaign in the run-up to the coming county conventions (when such delegates can switch their allegiances)....

The stats were pulled from the Global Gameplay Statistics from Steam, where each achievement is shown a percentage based on how many owners of the game have unlocked that specific achievement. What’s interesting here is that some users on the Reddit forum are also reporting that the achievement for leaving the vault is either unlocking later or simply not unlocking at all.
