Sachin Tendulkar, who retired in 2013, continues to earn praise and plaudits for his contribution to the gentleman’s game even today. Nasser Hussain was speaking at an ICC Podcast titled ‘Cricket Inside Out’, alongside Ian Bishop and Elma Smit, where he picked Sachin Tendulkar as the batsman with the greatest technique. When talking about batsmen who had the best technique in the current generation, he took the name of the current New Zealand skipper, Kane Williamson....

Known fondly as the “Cardiff Kook,” the bronze surfer in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, can be seen donning a cap and gown with a “Congratulations, Graduate!” balloon tied around its wrist one day and wearing a firefighter’s uniform the next. It has been nearly swallowed by a papier-mâché great white shark, posed as part of a Banksy tribute project and worn pink to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Some of the Kook’s displays are created by local artists; others come directly from Cardiff residents....

Sinner and Alcaraz are widely regarded as two of the best young players on the ATP Tour at the moment. Both men entered the Umag final seeking to win their sixth title in seven singles title matches. After taking the opening set on a tiebreak, Alcaraz was on the ascendancy. However, Sinner conceded just two games in the next two sets to dethrone the defending champion. In the process, the 20-year-old Italian won his first title of the year, the sixth of his career and his first on clay....

The story in the game seems a little thin on substance, with a generic “man avenges his dead love” approach, but any excuse to go kill Dracula isn’t a bad one. Gameplay seems to be drawing a tiny bit from the God of War series in its approach, with the combo system differentiating between direct attacks and area affect attacks while using an extending weapon, in this case the “Combat Cross,” which is essentially a chain whip....

Shared on Reddit on Sunday, the video by user liparch is accompanied by the caption: “First floor [ground floor] is off-limits so I’ve been doing this since adopting my cat 4 years ago.” The video shows the cat in the garden from the upstairs window before a cat carrier on a rope is lowered to the ground. The cat crawls into the carrier and is pulled up by the owner to the window....

The Blues have the 27-year-old ‘as one of the options’ to replace Spanish shot-stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga. The Spaniard joined the London outfit from Athletic Bilbao in 2018 for £71.6 million, making him the world’s most expensive goalkeeper. The 27-year-old endured a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge as he was heavily criticized for his lack of consistency and high-profile errors. His disappointing performances resulted in the Blues signing Edouard Mendy from Rennes in 2020....

Paleontologists from the University of Washington (UW) and its Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture dug up the fossils this summer. The fossils include the hip bones of an ostrich-sized theropod—a term encompassing a group of carnivorous dinosaurs that includes Tyrannosaurus rex and raptors—the hips and legs of a duck-billed dinosaur; the skull and other bones from a Triceratops; and the pelvis, toe claw and limbs from another theropod....

The 28-year-old striker was heavily linked with a switch to the Chinese Super League during the winter transfer window, with big-money offers reported to have been tabled. Is Costa the best EPL scorer ever? Chelsea were able to see off that interest and retain the services of a prized asset, with Costa’s 16-goal haul this season having helped them to close on the English top-flight title. Talk of a move to Asia refuses to go away, though, and Shearer fears further approaches may be made for a top talent over the summer....

Trump reposted a comment predicting civil war made by Robert Jeffress, a pastor at the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and Fox News Contributor on Sunday. The president has bristled at the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry, but the comments were a dramatic escalation in his rhetoric. “If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal....

The Hangman is the opening episode of the series, introducing players to FBI agent Erica Reed. Perpetually haunted by her past, and rapidly losing control of a psychic ability she refers to as her “intuition,” Reed is determined to redeem herself after her brother’s life is taken at the hands of a brutal serial killer. Phoenix Online does a terrific job setting up what would otherwise be a fairly standard detective plot – that is, when the interactive elements are working....

As the actual awards show was brought to bear, however, we were treated to the reveal trailer for EA and BioWare’s Command & Conquer Generals 2 – thus proving that the IP wasn’t exactly “new” in the purest sense of the word, but rather a C&C revival from 2003’s Command & Conquer Generals. The best-selling game in the fabled RTS series was going back to the near future with the Mass Effect 3 developer’s newly acquired studio, Victory Games....

Speaking at a ‘Royal Fans Meet’ on video-sharing app Zoom, McCrum put his utmost faith in the country’s cricket governing authority to find a possible window for the cash-rich league in the current calendar year. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, BCCI postponed IPL 2020 indefinitely after an initial postponement from its scheduled start date of March 29th. With the lockdown period getting extended, finding a window to organise the prestigious league this year has been the BCCI’s top priority....

Indian cricket is in a state of turmoil, especially on the issues relating to the ‘conflict of interest’ clause. Indian legendary cricketers are being questioned in this respect. Saurav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman are facing this issue, with a demand for them to explain themselves. Cricketers of such stature and status should never be ridiculed in such an open manner. The BCCI’s ombudsman, D.K. Jain should have done his enquiry in a silent manner, rather than making it a public affair....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War servers went down Friday morning, and now Activision is once again hit with another connectivity outage as of Tuesday. The publisher announced the event via its official Online Services page Tuesday afternoon, and the issue has yet to be formally resolved. Around 1:30 p.m. EST, players began noticing an increase in errors when attempting to connect to Black Ops Cold War. Instead of being locked behind a server queue, which was a common result of Friday’s outage, this one yields a message that says “the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War server is not available at this time....

[HTML1] While the Call of Duty franchise has always juggled the realistic with the bombastic and over-the-top, in recent years the series has also taken on a completely new personality. With the advent of features like Riley the Dog and plenty of clever downloadable content, the latest COD entry, Call of Duty: Ghosts, has proven that the billion dollar franchise still has a sense of humor. It started with the addition of Michael Myers to the Onslaught DLC, continued with the Predator crossover for the Devastation DLC, and now things are getting even crazier with the introduction of voice packs....

The short version of the story is that Drift0r claimed there was a glitch within the current build of Warzone that allowed players to manipulate the game’s skill-based matchmaking system to get lobbies filled with bots and very low-level human players. In their video, they said the flaw had been reported to Activision and that they would not disclose the steps of the glitch in an effort to maintain the competitive integrity of the game....
