Mr.360, as the cricket pundits call him, is one of the most beloved cricketers across the globe courtesy owing to his humble nature. Over 20000 international runs with 47 centuries and 107 fifties are not enough to define the legacy of the Pretoria born maestro. In the near future, he will be seen as a non-playing Ambassador of T20X tournament in UAE taking place in December. As De Villiers stated, he will continue to feature in various T20 leagues across the world including Indian Premier League(IPL) and the South African domestic league....

As the Chennai and Mumbai leg of this year’s IPL came to an end on Sunday, it is safe to say that it will always be a topic of discussion for the cricket aficionados. Given how each venue has tested the skill and game sense of batters and bowlers in different ways at various junctures of a match, IPL 2021 has gotten off to a brilliant start. We saw how teams floundered at times in their chase in Chennai, where batting out 20 overs in pursuit of an achievable target was nothing short of climbing a lofty mountain....

The 49ers general manager knew little about Jimmy Garoppolo when he traded a second-round draft pick to the Patriots in exchange for their backup quarterback almost three years ago. A small-college product whom New England drafted in the second round in 2014, Garoppolo had played well in just two starts over his three-and-a-half-year stint with the era’s premier franchise. Lynch knew he was getting a solid player, but that was the extent of his expectation....

Every single game out there has at least one fan that’s attached to it. However, with these franchises being owned by Nintendo, the large audiences that have played these games are left hanging with nothing new coming for their favorite series. RELATED: Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Remakes Seem Less Likely By the Day, But There’s Still Hope Of course, games take a long time to develop and many concepts are shelved in favor of others that are seen to do better financially....

Most of those arrested weren’t Wal-Mart employees. Instead, the alleged illegal aliens worked for outside firms hired by local Wal-Mart managers to clean the aisles while shoppers sleep. While a typical Wal-Mart employee earns $7 to $9 an hour, a subcontracted janitor might earn about $6, and that math is one reason why roughly 700 of Wal-Mart’s 3,000-plus U.S. stores outsource their cleaning. A Wal-Mart spokesperson says the company “entrusts” its contractors to hire only documented workers, denies its executives were involved “in any scheme involving illegal workers” and promises to cooperate with authorities....

The Americans are learning the universal language of insult. They catch on now when Iraqis in the seething Sunni Triangle flash them a backhanded V sign, which conveys roughly the same message as an extended middle finger back in the States. When Americans wish to demonstrate their contempt to the locals, they point to the soles of their feet, deeply offensive to Iraqis. What the Americans still don’t know is who, exactly, they’re fighting....

Drita recalls wartime memories with as much overt emotion as she’d muster to read a grocery list. A Serb policeman dragged her away from her children, out of a room in a private house where she and other women and children were being held. He taunted her and ordered her to strip. When she screamed, he laughed and clamped a hand over her mouth. Then he pinned her arms behind her and raped her....

A win is indeed a win, even if it’s Kerry’s slender 6-point victory in Wisconsin. But as Bill Clinton showed in New Hampshire 12 years ago, a strong second place can also be a win-as long as you beat expectations. John Edwards leaves Wisconsin with a new lease of life, especially from the fundraisers who must bankroll a nationwide, two-week race towards Super Tuesday’s primaries. (In contrast, a distant third is most definitely a dismal defeat for Howard Dean in what his campaign once called a must-win state....

Minecraft has crossed over with many properties over the years, ranging from the animated series Adventure Time to the live action show Stranger Things. Video games like Fallout and Mass Effect have received special cosmetic packs, as have film franchises like Minions. However, The Witcher is unique because Mojang would not only be able to pull from the video games for a Mashup Pack, but the television series as well....

According to Fox Sports, prosecutors on Tuesday alleged that Hernandez grew angry with Lloyd after an incident at Rumor nightclub in Boston, and the former Patriots tight end went to his rented Chevrolet Suburban and grabbed a pistol. MORE: Aaron Hernandez timeline No shots were fired that night, and it’s not clear what exactly prosecutors allege angered Hernandez. But other witnesses Monday described Hernandez as angry. “His cheeks, like everything, looked tense....

“You don’t have time to get all the way there,’’ Judge said Friday, per the New York Post . “It’s the season. You’ve got to get back. Once I’m healthy enough to get back in games, I’ll get back out there.” The injury-riddled Yankees aren’t pressuring Judge to get back in the lineup. In fact, it’s just the opposite. “I talked to Aaron when I was there Tuesday, and he’s right on schedule,” Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner told The Associated Press ....

Naturally, he saved them for Kenny Mayne’s final time anchoring “SportsCenter.” Rodgers, one of several high-profile athletes making appearances on Monday’s episode of “SportsCenter,” opened his appearance by saying, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined” — an ode to former Cal teammate Marshawn Lynch, also scheduled to appear on “SportsCenter.” Rodgers and Mayne joked around, with the latter asking whether the Packers quarterback would be willing to use the Fan Controlled Football League as a bargaining chip with Green Bay....

The 19-year-old, who joined Belarusian Women’s League side ZFK Minsk last year, believes she will be able to win the Uefa Women’s Champions League when she lands such an opportunity in England. ‘‘My aim is to play for Chelsea Ladies. I want to win the Women’s Champions League with Chelsea Ladies so I will do my best during the World Cup in France,’’ Abambilla told Spice FM. ‘‘Women football in Ghana doesn’t pay off financially....

The Bosnian Serbs were the principal aggressors during the war and, predictably, they have committed the most egregious violations. Vote rigging was so blatant that the elections team this month canceled the munic- ipal component of the elections–even though its instructions from Washington and the European Community clear- ly have been to see that the polling takes place no matter what. Officials express dismay at this outcome, but that can’t be taken at face value; their anti-fraud measures were weak and inconsistent....

Ironic, given that Abe had built his political reputation, and early popularity, on hawkish and pro-American policies. Now he has joined the ranks of colleagues including Spain’s José María Aznar, Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi and Britain’s Tony Blair, who found themselves pushed out of power when their support for America’s wars lost traction with their own countrymen. Others, from Pakistan’s Pervez Musharraf to Australia’s John Howard, face rising popular discontent over their ties to George W....

The man was captured in a group of anti-mask protesters who gathered outside Utah Governor Gary Herbert’s house in Orem, Utah on Sunday. He was featured as a quickly-seen bystander in the video footage from KSL News, a local NBC affiliate. The similarities in appearance between the man and Lincoln have TikTok users laughing at the idea of the late president looking upon 2020. While we’re sure it’s not actually Lincoln (just a reminder, he died in 1865) it’s an entertaining comparison that got over 2....

“Never mind the money I get, I just want to be a part of the IPL”, Nayar was quoted as saying. However, his record in the recently concluded Ranji season in which he scored 992 runs at an average of 99.62 was good enough to prove his worth to the franchise owners. Nayar was placed in the auction with a base price of $100,000. However, the franchisees continued to bid further for him andultimately it was Pune Warriors India who roped in the Mumbai all-rounder for a whopping $ 675,000 ....
