[ad_1] Hampshire 70 for 3 trail Nottinghamshire 302 (Patel 73, Wessels 54, Edwards 4-84) by 232 runs Scorecard Cricket made a belated return to Trent Bridge, where ongoing building work forced Nottinghamshire to play their first three matches away, but it was not long before the first anguished cries of "Oh! Samit" were heard. Samit Patel has entertained and exasperated in equal measure throughout a 16 year county career which was encapsulated in the skittish innings he played here. Patel laid the foundations for a competitive total despite occasionally struggling for fluency but his application against Fidel Edwards' testing and skiddy pace was counter-balanced by two of those "Oh! Samit" moments that have often tested the patience and humour of Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire's director of cricket . The first came just before lunch when Patel ran out Ross Taylor, who appeared to be easing towards his third half century in four innings. Patel clipped Liam Da...

[ad_1] Another day, another head-scratching move by Michigan State University as it continues to bungle the fallout from Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse. This week, the  Lansing State Journal reported that a law firm representing Michigan State sent a letter to the NCAA in March notifying them that Nassar, under the guise of medical treatment, sexually assaulted at least 25 MSU student-athletes between 1997-2016, including six student-athletes since 2014, when MSU botched its Title IX investigation into Nassar’s abuse. Commendable transparency by Michigan State? Oh no: the letter was sent to make it clear that, despite rampant sexual assaults, “no violations of NCAA rules occurred with regard to the criminal conduct of Dr. Larry Nassar, a former employee at the University.” Never mind that Nassar is a former MSU and USA Gymnastics doctor who sexually abused hundreds of people — primarily young women and girls — sometimes with their parents in the room . Never mind that a lot of his s...

[ad_1] Uganda 215 for 8 (Kayondo 51, Masaba 47, Javed 2-48) beat Denmark 129 all out (Shah 37, Bharaj 32, Mukasa 2-3) by one run via DLS method Scorecard © Peter Della Penna How the tide turns. Uganda scripted a comeback only dreams are made of. Denmark needed five runs off the final over, with four wickets in hand. Then, they committed hara-kiri as Roger Mukasa , the captain, brought himself on for the first time and created magic at the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur. Mukasa darted his part-time offspin from around the stumps into Denmark's right-handers, denied them the room for the swing and created panic that delivered two wickets and two run outs. This meant Denmark were delayed promotion to Division Three, while Uganda gave themselves an excellent chance to get there. It boiled down to No. 11 Bashir Shah needing three off the final ball. He flicked the ball...

[ad_1] Chennai Super Kings : Beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by five wickets , beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by four runs , beat Rajasthan Royals by 64 runs Mumbai Indians : Lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 31 runs , lost to Rajasthan Royals by three wickets , beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 46 runs . Big Picture Since playing the tournament opener in Mumbai, the two most successful teams in IPL history have had contrasting journeys in the last 20 days. Table-toppers Chennai Super Kings have most bases covered and are dominating the league with only one loss so far whereas defending champions Mumbai Indians are languishing at the bottom with only one win to their name. Mumbai's ride hasn't been as bad as Delhi Daredevils' but when they were bowled out for 87 by Sunrisers Hyderabad at home, they had moved one step closer to pressing the panic button. Two more losses and they will virtually be out of the playoffs race. But their next opponent is a team that has only become stro...

[ad_1] Sunrisers Hyderabad : beat Kings XI by 13 runs, beat Mumbai Indians by 31 runs, lost to Chennai Super Kings by four runs, lost to Kings XI Punjab by 15 runs Rajasthan Royals : beat Mumbai Indians by three wickets, lost to Chennai Super Kings by 64 runs, lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets, defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 19 runs Big picture Sunrisers Hyderabad's bowling unit has been an enigma this season. They have the best economy in the Powerplay, middle overs and death. Twice now, they've defended totals that many other teams would've called 20-25 too little. On Thursday, they didn't have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Billy Stanlake. Their captain Kane Williamson was dismissed for a duck and the bowlers had only 132 to work with. Most sides would've looked at not conceding the game easily. Not Sunrisers, whose bowlers triggered a sensational Kings XI Punjab slide. From 55 for 1, they hurtled to 119 all out. Sunrisers Hyderabad's bow...

[ad_1] Conservatives have alleged — thus far without evidence — that Facebook has shown a bias against conservative groups or censored their content. To address this, Facebook announced Wednesday that it was bringing in two major conservative players to evaluate whether Facebook displays a liberal bias. The oversight effort, dubbed a “conservative bias advising partnership” by Axios, which first reported the arrangement on Wednesday, will involve former Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), who was minority whip, as well as the Heritage Foundation, the right-wing think tank. Kyl, along with the lobbying firm he joined after leaving the Senate, Covington and Burling, will look at claims of liberal bias internally and on Facebook’s services, get feedback from conservative groups, and advise Facebook on how to work with these groups. Kyl will “will examine concerns about alleged liberal bias on Facebook, internally and on our services. He will get feedback directly from conservative groups and advi...
