However, in a tournament where a 39-year-old Balachandra Akhil leads Namma Shivammoga and in franchise-based T20 cricket in general, age is reduced to that irrelevant number that’s only discussed when there’s not much to talk about your performances. And Gowtham, after his match-defining bowling partnership with Shahbaz Nadeem in the second unofficial Test against South Africa ‘A,’ has made it all about his performance. It helps that he’s an all-rounder – the rare breed India have always been on the lookout for....

The 20-year-old Indian shuttler looked in top form in this match. Trailing by 0-2 in the first game, Srikanth grabbed the next 5 points to make the score 5-2.

Speaking at a Hamptons fundraiser to corporate executives and one-percenters, Harris explained that she has “not been comfortable” with the healthcare plan written by her 2020 competitor Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. “I think almost every member of the United States Senate who’s running for President and many others, have signed on to a variety of plans in the Senate. And I have done the same,” she said at the fundraiser, according to her campaign....

The gameplay is - as you would guess - a playable, but not final version of the game and is missing some dialogue. Some of the problems I noticed had to do with the camera angles (specifically in close proximity areas), the cover system, and while this just might be a pet peeve of mine, how sluggish the character models are moving. I understand Lynch is a little overweight, but could IO Interactive loosen him up a little bit?...

“I don’t ever want to give up a hit. I definitely don’t want to be part of history that way.
