Karthik did a Javed Miandad as he hit pacer Soumya Sarkar for a flat six over covers on March 18 guiding his team to a win over Bangladesh in the summit clash of the Tri-nation Nidahas Trophy T20 tournament in Sri Lanka. “I want to play as long as (possible). It was hard a lot of times. I had a lot of doubt whether I will ever play for the country again,” Karthik told reporters at a media conference here....

But there’s another farm, less than 30 miles away, in New Hampton, whose owner, Tom Frantzen, thinks corporate farming is as deadening to the souls of animals as it is to farmers. Frantzen, who like Lynch took over a small family farm in the mid-1970s, raises organic pigs, unfettered pigs, variably mottled and plump, who loll indolently on the ground or on the straw beds of their canvas-walled tent shelters....
The Total War Saga games are titles that target specific historical events, rather than a sweeping look at an era. The previous game in this series, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia, had focused on the Vikings invasion of the British Isles. Total War Saga: Troy will focus specifically on the Trojan War. RELATED: 15 Games to Play After the Game of Thrones Series Finale When the announcement first came out in August that Total War was taking on Troy, many gamers were left wondering what that meant....
Tarantino must have known something the rest of us didn’t. When jury president Clint Eastwood announced ““Pulp Fiction’s’’ victory, the elated director joined cast members John Travolta, Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson in an ecstatic group grope. Most of the black-tie crowd cheered the choice, but from the back of the hall an angry dissenter shouted her disgust. Smiling, the tall, gangly, jut-jawed Tarantino flipped her the bird – presumably a Cannes first....
They are taking place exactly in areas that were home to Albanians, among other ethnicities, for centuries. They are also omens of the troubled dream some call “Greater Kosovo,” which ultimately means “Greater Albania.” In southern Serbia, Albanians were indigenous to territories around Nis and Leskovac, major Serbian cities some 25 miles from the present frontier of Kosovo. In the harsh winter of 1877-78 about 100,000 were driven out of the region-where they were in several places the ethnic majority-by the Serbian Army, then the victorious ally of imperial Russia in its war with the Ottoman Turks....
Everything comes easy to Mark Cuban, or at least it seems that way. Taking M.B.A.-level courses on the sly as a freshman at Indiana University–easy. Turning a buddy’s idle complaint (“Why can’t we listen to Hoosiers basketball over the Internet?”) into the $5.7 billion Broadcast.com and getting out before the bubble burst–easy. Buying one of the NBA’s doormat franchises and, 16 months later, steering it into the playoffs for the first time in 11 years–way, way too easy....
The widow wore black, sobbed, leaned over the casket and kissed the cold cheek of her dead husband, Army Specialist Anthony Riggs. But Toni Riggs made a very bad impression on those who knew her well. When Army Specialist Ronald Howard, one of Riggs’s buddies, heard his friend had been gunned down in Detroit, he thought, “He was set up.” And when the dead soldier’s mother, Lessie Riggs, confronted the Detroit police, she says she was told that the widow and half her family were under suspicion....
When Phil Mickelson finally finished with the seventh hole, he had a triple-bogey on his scorecard. That summed up Lefty's wild ride on the opening day of the Masters. Seeking to become only the fourth player to win as many as four green jackets, Lefty put himself in quite a hole with all sorts of erratic shots Thursday at Augusta National. He took another 7, this one a double-bogey, after dumping it in the water at No....
It’s an expensive check. The National Guard was spending $32 million on the sponsorship when taking into account displays at the track and other programs to promote the sponsorship. It probably got a little bit back in merchandise sales but not enough to survive the government budget cutbacks for recruiting. There aren’t many companies that could foot that bill. But there are plenty of companies that would fit well with Earnhardt, if they just had the funds....
Dressed like Mr. Rogers and serious from the start, Rodgers dominated his two opponents — “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary and astronaut Mark Kelly — both by getting the most right answers questions, and as host Alex Trebek noticed, having the most hair. MORE: Classic photos of Aaron Rodgers | Diagnosing Packers’ 2015 schedule | Lambeau to be packed for remote Favre ceremony Appropriately, and not surprisingly, Rodgers’ first correct response came in the category “Number 12,” when facing a sports clue about another legendary passer — NBA great John Stockton....
With reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers not at OTAs and not expected to be at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday amid his feud with the Packers, Green Bay president Mark Murphy says that the situation has “divided [the Packers] fan base.” Fielding questions from fans in his monthly column on the team’s website, Murphy replied to a fan offering a compliment for the job he’s done while offering a small bit of insight to the situation with Rodgers:...
After a shocking quarterfinal loss to the Swedes, Solo called her opponent a bunch of “cowards,” which resulted in Solo getting a six-month suspension and her U.S. soccer contract being terminated. MORE: Solo’s career, in images “I had big problems with that," Wambach said Thursday on the “Dan Patrick Show.” “You never call another team cowards after you’ve just been beaten.

With this world-class performance, India currently stand in 34th position in the Paralympics medal tally. It began with Bhavina Patel and Nishad Kumar’s silver medals in table tennis and high jump respectively. Meanwhile, veteran discus thrower Vinod Kumar clinched a bronze for the country on August 29th. It was a dreamy Monday morning for the entire India. With four back-to-back medals within a two hour span, it was an unprecedented performance by the athletes in Tokyo....
Sexton was evacuated to Darwin, Australia, last week. But like any witness to atrocity, she’s haunted. “Where do you put a tourniquet on a person who has been sliced all over the body, cut to the bone, absolutely to the bone?” she says. “We wrapped him in a sheet and put him in the car but… within minutes the whole white sheet was covered in blood.” Sexton drove the wounded man to a clinic run by Carmelite sisters....
The King didn’t come in and dominate, though. Playing a squad made up of LiAngelo Ball, Jaylen Hands, Cody Riley, Prince Ali and Alex Olesinski, James’ actually lost, according to former UCLA basketball player Josiah Johnson. A post shared by NBA Player Development (@primeimpactbasketball) on Aug 23, 2017 at 4:11pm PDT Bron didn’t lose every game he played, but the fact he lost at all is pretty amazing. The experience had to be great for the UCLA kids as well considering they saw not only James, but Draymond Green and Kevon Looney as well....
Reeve, 42, lay last week in a Virginia hospital, paralyzed and breathing only with the aid of a respirator after injuring himself in an equestrian competition over Memorial Day weekend. Witnesses said Reeve’s horse balked at the third jump on the cross-country course Reeve was tiding Saturday, stopping short and pitching him headlong over the 3 1/2-foot fence. The unconscious actor was resuscitated and rushed to a local hospital, then moved to the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville....
Typically we’d just file this as an interesting report, but the story continues from here. Darvish saw Passan’s tweet, and responded to it on Twitter by giving him thanks. You might think that’s sarcasm, but Darvish truly meant it. For what it’s worth, Marlins outfielder Christian Yelich refuted the report. Whether the Marlins knew or not, Darvish admitted he spotted his errors, so at least the report did some good....
