Arshdeep, playing in his first international game since November 30, was completely off-color in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Pune on Thursday, January 5. He bowled only two overs, in which he conceded 37 runs. The 23-year-old bowled three consecutive no-balls in his first over and a total of five in the match. The left-arm seamer’s struggles aided Sri Lanka’s cause in a big way as they posted 206/6 in their 20 overs after being asked to bat first....

While South Africa featured in only 18 Tests between 2019-2021, the number of Tests played by the Big Three was way higher. England played the most number of Tests with 36, with India and Australia playing 26 and 20, respectively. Speaking to Sportsmail, Nortje said the current generation of South African cricketers will not get a chance to replicate their predecessors’ legacy if they play fewer Tests. The right-arm seamer thus demands more Tests to attain the number one ranking across formats....

The Pacers bowed out of the playoffs after Sunday’s 105-101 defeat against the Cavaliers, who sealed a 4-3 series triumph in the Eastern Conference first-round matchup. Pacers star guard Oladipo hopes the team earned something from the experience. “If y’all don’t respect the Indiana Pacers now, I have no respect for you,” Oladipo said. “That’s just how I feel. Nobody thought we were going to be here — not one person — but us in the locker room....

I had back problems and car problems. They changed the time of going to work from 6 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., which put me in a bind. I should have been given a slap on the wrist and been returned to work. My job performance was excellent. These are some of the things that companies do to cause people to go berserk. It was shocking. Everything I had worked for in my life was over....

The dress was purchased by an online retailer but the wedding guest was left disappointed by her boyfriend’s reaction who said “he thinks this dress isn’t appropriate for a wedding because it’s red.” “This is new to me?” she noted in a popular thought-provoking Mumsnet post which gained over 800 responses. “The last two weddings we’ve been to I’ve worn red and he didn’t say anything. So I’m just wondering what people’s thoughts are: is this appropriate?...

[HTML1] Only a few short weeks after the release of NetherRealm Studios’ latest DC Comics-inspired fighter, Injustice: Gods Among Us, fans unearthed code that outright revealed the four DLC characters that would be available post-launch. Recent rumors suggest that further DLC characters are also in development (and not included as part of the game’s season pass deal), but for the time being, gamers will have to get their superhero (or villain) fix with Lobo, Batgirl, Scorpion, and most recently, the notorious General Zod....

The former Green Beret-turned GOP lawmaker berated those in the president’s ear complaining of “endless war” when he said the decision to leave the region near the Turkish border would “create war.” Speaking with Fox News on Monday, Waltz said U.S. Green Berets he spoke with after Turkey’s invasion of Syria are “completely demoralized” by having to “abandon” the Kurdish partners they’ve been fighting alongside for five years. “We’ve set the conditions for ISIS 2....

The Frenchman was identified by Pep Guardiola as a dream addition last summer and even held talks with the Catalan coach over a switch to City.

In case you didn’t know… Jose Mourinho was sacked by Manchester United in December 2018 after they fell 19 points behind league leaders Liverpool. The team made virtually no progress under Mourinho, despite the fact they spent almost £400m on 11 players. The 26 points United gathered in their first 17 Premier League matches was their worst tally at that stage of a season since 1990-91. It was clear that Mourinho wasn’t fit for the Red Devils job, and by that point, not only the players had turned their backs on him, but the staff too....

Rom 9/2 to be PL top scorer The Red Devils have seen their striking ranks bolstered to leave them in the enviable position of having two proven performers from which to select. Jose Mourinho has operated with a lone frontman throughout his time at Old Trafford, with Ibrahimovic having handed the No. 9 shirt to £75 million signing Lukaku over the summer. The enigmatic Swede has, however, been brought back into the fold after recovering from a serious knee injury and 1999 treble winner Cole – who operated alongside the likes of Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer during his time with United – believes added competition will prove to be a help rather than a hindrance....

Game Rant’s Jeff Schille reviews the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection Whenever the question of whether games can be art comes up, the titles cited by the “pro” faction are almost invariably Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Partially, this is because the games themselves occupy a completely unique tonal space – they feel like each other, and unlike practically any other games. Equally relevant is that both games sold so few copies when they were new that it can be tough to find someone on the “con” side of the argument who has played them....

Here’s how Eisenstein phrased the question: Sherman responded, claiming the quarterback will do whatever he wants with the tablets: He went on to explain how the young receivers became the reason as to why the quarterback refrained: Tom Brady’s loss to Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady’s loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday was only the second such loss in the quarterback’s career. His last loss came in 2014. In every other game, the quarterback has won comfortably and his first battle against the quarterback was in 2006, when he won 35-0....

Alcaraz’s aggression throughout the match stood out, as he blasted 61 winners past the Greek while committing 48 unforced errors. A similar attacking approach had earned him his maiden ATP title in Umag earlier in the year, and has now given him the biggest win of his fledgling career. On being asked which player he has modeled his game after, the youngster replied that he doesn’t try to copy any player’s style....

Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Ngannou locked horns on the main card of UFC 249 back in March this year. The fight wrapped up quickly as Jairzinho Rozenstruik got hit by a thundering strike from Ngannou which put the latter to sleep in just 11 seconds of the first round.
