Young opener Prithvi Shaw top-scored with 62 for India A at the County Ground, but others such as Test specialist Murali Vijay, Mayank Agarwal and skipper Karun Nair failed to get going. Looking to get some much-needed batting practice ahead of the upcoming Test series against England, Ajinkya Rahane was the unbeaten batsman at the crease along with Rishabh Pant. Shaw struck eight boundaries in his 82-ball stay, which was cut short by Sam Curran....
“First and foremost the main thing is I might get a chance to play for my country and that is the biggest thing for me,” Sodhi said.

Biden’s decisions to bypass the Western Wall in Jerusalem, bar Israeli officials from his visit to the Augusta Victoria Hospital in eastern Jerusalem, and invite Shireen Abu Akleh’s family to Washington to meet with “government officials” were bad. So was snubbing Arnold and Frimet Roth, parents of 15-year-old American terror victim Malki Roth. So far, not terrible overall. But then, President Biden got to the West Bank, and it was time to pretend that Palestinians hadn’t heard what he said in Jerusalem—and that Israelis wouldn’t hear what he said in Bethlehem....
And even though Cleveland’s title hopes sit squarely on the broad shoulders of LeBron James, the little-known Australian has proven a capable sidekick, emerging from obscurity to successfully keep in check some of basketball’s biggest names long enough for James to do his thing.

This has implications for the future. It will be a few weeks before we know just what those implications are, but it seems obvious that if the Heat keep trying the same formula that led them to this disappointing result, they’re not going to get very far. San Antonio pretty thoroughly pulled the Heat apart in the series. But going forward, teams all over the league are going to get better, and the Heat need to do the same....
His bike is his soapbox. As time caught up with many of his peers, the former United States Navy Band saxophonist , who played for U.S. presidents and visiting VIPs and who was born on his parents’ kitchen table during an Indiana thunderstorm the year before the Great Depression, is still riding to spread his stay-active message — despite a doping violation caused by a diner steak.

New Delhi, Feb 27 (PTI) If his mugshot on international shooting federation’s webpage, in which he is sporting a French beard and long locks, does not set him apart, Nick Mowrer’s ability to shoot in World Cups with both pistol and rifle surely does. Describing this quirky American as one quintessential one-of-a-kind could be a modest attempt to do justice to his uniqueness, which is making a mockery of the sport’s conventions, tournament after tournament....
As for Sgt. Chiroux, he said his position as a military journalist gave exposed him to countless disturbing stories he was afraid to publish for fear of retribution by the Army.

But Patsy paid her back. Owen Bradley, who produced Cline’s legendary late ’50s- early ’60s hits, caught Barnett’s performance, and when she later signed with Sire Records he came on board as producer. Four songs on her new album, “I’ve Got a Right to Cry,” are the last record-ings Bradley made before he died last year at 82. “Owen was so confident in the studio,” Barnett says. “We cut the four songs in three hours, live with strings and everything....

The 46-year-old believes cricket is an unpredictable game and thus one must never make such bold predictions. Team India had a lead of 53 runs going into the second innings of the first Test at Adelaide Oval. However, the visitors slumped to their lowest-ever Test total as the Aussies restricted them to just 36 runs in their second innings. The hosts comfortably won the first Test inside three days and took a 1-0 lead in the series....

By his consistent standards, the England captain had a lean patch in 2020, as he managed just 464 runs in Test cricket at an average of 42.18. However, Joe Root has been in sublime form this year.
