Listening to this sort of commentary in a West Indian game is a rare phenomena these days. Those were the days of 70s and 80s. Currently, in the longer format, I don’t see the flair in their arsenal, but I wish to see them revive. On the joyous occasion of their 500th Test, let me take some pride in sharing how the Caribbean boys became invincible. During the 1960s and 70s, blacks were not regarded as equals....

One of the main subplots of the series was the battle between James Anderson and Virat Kohli. However, it has been a one-sided bout thus far, with Anderson emerging victorious. The 39-year old has dismissed the Indian skipper twice in the series, including once for a golden duck. James Anderson, writing in his column for The Telegraph, highlighted that his emotions in Leeds after removing Virat Kohli in the first innings were similar to those he felt in Nottingham....
Heart block—also called atrioventricular block, or AV block—is one of the two major causes of bradycardia (slow heart rate). (The other major cause is sinus bradycardia). Overview In heart block, the heart’s electrical impulses are partially or completely blocked as they attempt to travel from the atrial chambers of the heart to the ventricular chambers. Because these electrical impulses let the heart know when it is supposed to beat if heart block is severe enough it may slow the heart rate to dangerously low levels....
According to The Wall Street Journal, people familiar with the matter have said that Prime Day will be pushed to the fall and the company is allowing unlimited shipments for nonessential goods. WSJ reported that their sources said that by allowing the nonessential goods shipments, it will allow the company to “process orders more quickly in its warehouses and create room for more inventory,” but there may still be slower delivery speeds due to increased demand caused by the coronavirus....
Think of it as Europe’s new “hate affair” with allegedly planet-hostile super-cars. A recent British poll found that 70 percent favor higher taxes on SUVs. A flurry of prohibitions, levies and initiatives from Spain to Switzerland testifies to a similar antipathy elsewhere. Says Sian Berry of the Alliance Against Urban 4x4s in London: “SUVs are emblematic of how our car culture has moved in the wrong direction.” Popular sentiment may be turning against the giant automobile, but so far it’s not reflected in the numbers....
Do the analogies apply? And should the vow be honored? As it happens, there is a definition of genocide on the books in international law. The United Nations Genocide Convention, drafted in the shadow of the Holocaust, outlaws all acts, such as murder and torture, that are carried out with “a specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.” That convention, ratified by the Senate in 1988, has been incorporated into the U....

That gives it a September-December 2022 release window....
The qualified teams will be divided into two pools: those that won their groups, and those that progressed in second spot. As per usual, the eight seeded sides will play away in their respective first legs. In addition, for the round of 16, no team can be drawn against a club from their own country or league, meaning that there is no chance of Group A winners Arsenal being paired with Group C runners-up Manchester City....
The league planned to hold the 2020 draft in Omaha, Nebraska, the site of the College World Series. Instead, much as the NFL did two months ago, the MLB will conduct a virtual draft from the MLB Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey. This year’s draft will be a significantly slimmed down version compared to previous years, consisting of just five rounds instead of the usual 40-round extravaganza. The first round will be held on Wednesday, with the remaining four rounds to be conducted the following day....
The Beaver Moon is the name given to the full moon in November. Technically this full moon is due to occur early on Friday morning, November 19, at 3:58 a.m. ET, according to NASA, but it will still appear full for about three days around this time from Wednesday to Saturday. According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which lists monthly full moon names from Native American, Colonial American and European folklore, the Beaver Moon’s name refers to the time of the year in which beavers take shelter in their lodges to prepare for winter, and also the time in which beaver fur traps would be set up in North America, historically....
