India vs England, Pink-Ball Test: Cheteshwar Pujara dismissed for duck for the first time at a Gujarat venue The day-night contest at the newly named Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was viewed in the build-up as a chance for the seam bowlers to take centre stage, with the four-match series between the teams delicately poised at 1-1. 1 49840 However, it was India's spinners who once again dominated proceedings, Axar Patel claiming career-best figures of 6-38 to continue his outstanding start in Test cricket. Ravichandran Ashwin - one of the star performers for India as they won the second Test in Chennai - offered superb support, taking 3-26. Johnny Bairstow was the first of several players to be undone by deliveries that failed to turn at all, though, as his return to the team saw him trapped lbw for a duck, leaving the tourists at 27-2 after opting to bat first.

Remembering a Forgotten Protest: Vince Matthews, Wayne Collett and the 1972 Munich Olympics
They are the lost souls of protest, nearly five decades on from an act that was both misunderstood and reviled in its own time and largely forgotten or ignored since, even as it becomes more historically relevant by the day. They were two young Black American athletes – Vince Matthews from New York City and Wayne Collett from Los Angeles, more alike than the distance between their homes, yet different in ways that had defined their pasts, and would shape their futures. They were both fast, both strong. And fearless. Most of all, fearless. They ran the 400 meters, after all, and the track and field event they call the quarter (-mile) is not for the meek. The race of their lives was the 1972 Olympic 400 meter final in Munich, Germany ( West Germany, at the time). At 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 7, eight runners pushed away from starting blocks and staggered halfway around the first turn of the rust-colored, all-weather track. Matthews was in lane two, wearing high white socks; … [Read more...] about Remembering a Forgotten Protest: Vince Matthews, Wayne Collett and the 1972 Munich Olympics
England gamble on seamers shining with pink ball fails to pay off as spinners star on day one
England will have had their eyes on this day-night Test match for some time. It had nothing to do with the brand, spanking new 110,000-seater stadium or even the pitch they expected to play on in Ahmedabad; it was all about getting that pink ball in the hands of their seamers under lights. In fairness to them, they managed to do just that on day one of the third Test. Unfortunately, that was due to them getting bundled out for just 112 having won the toss and chosen to bat. England in trouble after being spun out for 112 Third Test scorecard: India vs England Before we go any further, it is important to note that that is the overriding problem for England. You are not going to win many Test matches in the subcontinent, or anywhere else for that matter, if you are getting bowled out inside two sessions of the first day and barely make it to three figures. What makes matters worse though, is that it is looking increasingly likely that the tourists have got the … [Read more...] about England gamble on seamers shining with pink ball fails to pay off as spinners star on day one
Jeremy Lin expresses “anger,” “heartbreak” at recent attacks on Asian Americans
The videos are vile : Men running up behind usually elderly Asians, people just walking down the street, and knocking them to the ground violently. Like a blindside football tackle without pads. It’s a form of violence against Asians on the rise around the Bay Area and seen in New York and other cities around the nation. It’s an action that is cowardly, disgusting and an outlet for anger fueled by the rhetoric of politicians who only know how to inspire fear and hatred. People feel the need to blame someone for the coronavirus and its impacts, and they turn that hatred on Asian Americans who had nothing to do with either the disease or our nation’s lackluster response to it. Former Warrior and Knick Jeremy Lin speaks about these incidents on “Race in America: A Candid Conversation,” airing Tuesday night on NBC Sports Bay Area (after the Warriors postgame show). “I feel bad for somebody who harbors hate for somebody else, who they’ve never met, just based on skin color,” … [Read more...] about Jeremy Lin expresses “anger,” “heartbreak” at recent attacks on Asian Americans
