On Friday, Nathan Lyon was the tourists’ hero, with 5-wickets. The cricket community lambasted Pakistan for producing flat, lifeless pitches for the historic series. The first Test in Rawalpindi yielded just 14 wickets and more than 1000 runs in five days on an ICC-rated below-average pitch. The Pakistan Cricket Board’s head, Ramiz Raja, even excused the pitch’s slowness, claiming that they didn’t want to play…

The EU has unveiled legislative proposal to date to level the playing field in the technology industry. The EU has dealt with antitrust issues on a case-by-case basis in the past, but the DMA intends to make sweeping reforms that would address structural faults throughout the entire market. The new Digital Markets Act, or DMA, intends to reduce the power of the largest computer companies while allowing smaller enterprises to compete with mostly US-based firms. In today’s proclamation aiming at interoperability of messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage, the EU says that suppliers must “open up and interoperate…

When Ross Taylor steps out to play two One-Day Internationals and a one-off Twenty20 International against the Netherlands in his farewell international match on Friday, he expects a bombardment of emotions. Taylor, who announced his retirement at the end of the season, played his final Test against Bangladesh, tying Daniel Vettori for the most Test caps for New Zealand and leaving Test cricket in a way that only a few greats have done. In the last act, Taylor stole the show by grabbing a rare wicket—his second in a 14-year career—and being mobbed by his colleagues. When the final wicket…

With the IPL putting a premium on impressing selectors ahead of the T20 World Cup, several players are looking to impress. Given that India’s T20 team is still a work in progress in this World Cup year, the IPL provides an excellent platform for a lot of players to stake their claims. Many positions are still up for grabs, from opener to partner Rohit Sharma to finishers and spinners. Not only would management and selectors have to evaluate performance, but they would also have to make decisions about whether Indian performers could thrive on larger stages such as Australia. A…

Cups who want to do the same thing. It’s called the Professional Footballers’ Association, and people who play football are part of it, too. That would make the number of games go from 39 to 64. A bad system for deciding who goes to school would get even worse if this were added on top of it. If the Times is right, the United Kingdom and Ireland will host the European Championship together in 2028. This is if the Times is right. We’ll have no more bids before this week. Bad rules for who goes to school would get worse…

When Hardik Pandeya is the captain of the Gujrat Titans in the IPL in 2022, he doesn’t want to be seen as a comeback. He wants to fight back and show his hard work and competitive cricket. This is just a few days before the Indian Premier League starts, so things are going well. Preethi Shaw, one of the best bowlers in the world for the Delhi Capitals, didn’t do well on the Yo-Yo Test. Was at the NCA to give an update on his fitness, but the results were not good enough for him. Many people think that all-rounder…
