To recap, Tamim Iqbal got hit on the wrist by fast bowler Suranka Lakmal in the second over and seemed to be in extreme pain. Before that, Bangladesh had lost two wickets in the very first over. He had to retire hurt and a visit to the hospital where it was revealed that he had a serious fracture on the wrist and his Asia Cup was over. Meanwhile, in the middle, Bangladesh’s experienced batsmen Mushifiqur Rahim was playing the innings of his life....
Others, who toil hard in the domestic level, fall short by a very small margin in achieving their dreams. Although a few get a chance to play for India, they are not offered the luxury of a long run of games to prove their talent. Eventually, they fall out of favor and go back to Ranji cricket. Let us have a look at three of such cricketers who could have been great players for India....
Over the years, Indian players have also found it difficult to perform in Australia. There have been very few Indian players who have conquered the Australian conditions either as a bowler or as a batsman. Things become even more difficult if a player is touring Australia for the first time as a Test player. A lot of current Indian players have experience of playing in Australia, but there are still a few who are expected to play a Test on Australian soil for the first time on the upcoming tour....
Barring a few slip-ups, such as the canceled match between Sasha Banks & Lacey Evans, and the underwhelming segment featuring Elias, it was a good show overall. WWE would like to continue with the good work when SmackDown emanates from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC, this Friday night. While creative have already announced a special appearance of ‘The Big Red Machine’ Kane, the much-awaited Evans vs Banks match is scheduled for tonight as well....
With TLC just one week away, the upcoming go home episode of Raw will feature WWE hyping the pay per view. While it will feature the continuation of existing feuds for TLC, expect WWE to throw in a few shocks and surprises to make things interesting, after two weeks of disappointments. With the last episode of WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw, receiving the lowest ratings in the show’s history, the onus will be on the creative to deliver this week on Raw....
It was a defensive horror show from Manchester United defenders with Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof producing an error-prone display. Chris Hughton’s men were deserved winner on the day as they capitalized on defensive errors and punished United. This is only the tenth time in Premier League history that Manchester United have conceded three first-half goals in a game and the first time since October 2015 vs Arsenal. Manchester United produced another disjointed display with Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku struggling in attack....
Indians are extremely passionate about the game of cricket, and many from poorer backgrounds save up money for months, and even years, to purchase a ticket to the next international cricket match or IPL match in their city in order to watch their idols dominate their opponents. This has resulted in India producing some of the best players in the game’s history. From Tendulkar to Kapil Dev, there is not a name in the books of Indian cricketing history that cricketing fans would not have heard at least once in their life....
The Fire-type category gives fans the likes of Ho-Oh, Blaziken, Heatran, and of course Charizard. Those are the standard bearers when it comes to Fire-type Pokemon. Some, however, don’t receive the same love as the aforementioned. When Johto was introduced to the series, trainers were excited to travel to a new region. They weren’t exactly excited about some of the new Fire-type Pokemon to discover. Note: This article is subjective and reflects the opinion of the writer....
With no perfect replacement, the Spanish giants will have to promote a youth player for their A team and get the Uruguayan international some rest, so he is fully fit for occasions such as UEFA Champions League because the club has missed out on three times now. No doubt he is one of the most excellent strikers in the game, but the former Liverpool star’s age becomes an issue, and so he doesn’t get enough rest....
The first game was enough to prove how close the two teams are skill-wise on paper, and that will certainly bring about a number of individual match-ups. The teams have also seen enough of each other to understand what their strengths and weaknesses are. On that note, let’s take a look at three such match-ups that could prove to be decisive in the second T20I in Pune on Thursday (January 5):...
However, there is no denying that United’s defence looks fragile. It is a worrying statistic that says that they have maintained just three clean sheets in the Premier League this season. The horrifying form of centre-backs Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and right-back Antonio Valencia is the main reason behind this. As the January transfer window opens, listed below are three players that the Red Devils must buy to strengthen their squad....
Usually, clubs refrain from making any substantial changes to the squad in January because that could sometimes disrupt the balance of the team. Even for a new player coming in, it often gets difficult to fit into the new philosophy right away. Previously, Manchester United have described the January transfer market as a seller’s market. Like most other teams, they tend to offload a few players in January who are either struggling to perform or don’t fit into the manager’s plans....
Even if the player represented the Indian side in blues/whites, several factors such as consistency, ability to handle pressure decide whether the player is retained for the upcoming series. The selectors have a lot of trust on any new face before naming them as a part of the squad but have all of them under their radar for a longer period of time? Certainly no. Let’s now look at three of the Indian players who enjoyed a very little time in the Indian test squad...
The Rockets, however, suffered a disappointing off-season where the team lost Trevor Ariza, while the only major addition was Carmelo Anthony. Due to the changes, the Rockets are not the same force that they were last season, and the team currently sits 12th in the Western Conference standings. James Harden and Chris Paul clearly need more help on the court, and here are three players who could help to turn around the team’s poor start to the season....
The Stockton native, who recently made headlines after his exciting comeback at UFC 263, fired shots at the UFC champion on Twitter. Nate Diaz’s tweet soon reached Kamaru Usman, who shot back at the 209 representative, challenging him to a fight. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ threatened ‘Nate Dogg’ for ‘187’, a code used by police in the United States for murder. That’s all MMA fans needed to visualize a potential duel between the UFC welterweight champion and one of the baddest fight icons ever....
Contrastingly, Liverpool’s rivals have been very busy in the market. Naturally, the club’s inactive nature has created scepticism among certain sections within the fanbase who want to see them make signings in areas they lack as much strength. They reportedly earned £251m TV income for the 2018/19 campaign, while recording a massive £125m profit for the 2017/18 financial year. So, there’s definitely no shortage of funds for the necessary additions to be completed....
Whenever The Franchise appears on Raw or Smackdown Live, he always receives one of the loudest receptions of the night- whether it’s cheers or boos, he will constantly get a reaction no matter what. And as we head into 2019, there are many superstars who could potentially benefit from having a rivalry with John Cena. We’ve seen multiple guys such as Kevin Owens, AJ Styles & Dolph Ziggler who have had solid feuds with Cena- and whilst some might have not won the rivalries itself, the exposure they received from feuding with the biggest name in WWE can’t be matched by any other superstar....
Perhaps this humbling experience was exactly what McGregor needed. He went on to avenge the loss to Diaz, then beat Eddie Alvarez to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold titles in two weight divisions simultaneously. All talk of belt-creation became a thing of the past - or so we thought. Three years after he beat McGregor, Nate Diaz released this statement when he defeated Anthony Pettis at UFC 241:...
