In fact, Willis has openly said that he cannot tolerate the presence of overseas players in county cricket at all. “I can’t stand overseas players in county cricket,” he said. “It doesn’t benefit the players stranded in the second XI year on year and the youngsters.” In case you didn’t know… Just days back, it was revealed that Kohli would represent one of the county sides – in all probability, it would be Surrey, though nothing has been made official yet – once the Indian Premier League (IPL) gets over on May 27....

Barros Schelotto left the Buenos Aires club last month after their historic Copa Libertadores final defeat to arch rivals River Plate. Boca president Daniel Angelici, who had tried and failed to have River kicked out of the Libertadores final after the second leg was postponed following an attack on Boca’s team bus by their rivals’ fans, said Alfaro had the “ability and professionalism to take charge of” the club known as the “Dung Shovellers....

The Bolivia international is said to be one of five strikers being sought by the six-time Brazilian Serie A champions, reports Xinhua on Sunday. The others are Botafogo’s Sassa, CRB’s Luidy, Figueirense’s Rafael Moura and Santa Cruz’s Keno, the Sambafoot news portal reported. Moreno is in the final weeks of a two-year contract with Changchun Yatai, meaning he is now free to sign a pre-contract with another club.

Director Luca Guadagnino who previously brought us Call Me By Your Name and the Suspiria remake, captures a vision that collides both of these genre styles into one brilliant coming-of-age horror drama. Perhaps it’s not even a horror drama. Maybe it’s a romantic nightmare.

“We are absolutely heartbroken to announce that we must cancel Bonnaroo,” the festival organizers wrote Tuesday on Twitter. “While this weekend’s weather looks outstanding, currently Centeroo is waterlogged in many areas, the ground is incredibly saturated on our tollbooth paths, and the campgrounds are flooded to the point that we are unable to drive in or park vehicles safely.” “We have done everything in our power to try to keep the show moving forward,” the tweet thread continued, “but Mother Nature has dealt us a tremendous amount of rain over the past 24 hours, and we have run out of options to try to make the event happen safely and in a way that lives up to the Bonnaroo experience....

Bonucci moved to San Siro for a fee of €40 million in the summer, and was immediately handed the captain’s armband at the club. However, Milan have endured a nightmare start to the season and currently sit eighth in Serie A, 18 points behind leaders Napoli, having sacked manager Vincenzo Montella and replaced him with former midfielder Gennaro Gattuso. While Milan are insistent that they will not sell any first-team players over the winter period, it is understood that intermediaries are keeping tabs on whether the Italy international could be lured abroad....

Chiellini missed Italy’s 2018 World Cup qualifying match against Macedonia in the week because of bruising on his right calf.

Torres suffers horrific head injury The centre-back was heavily linked with a move to Manchester City and Chelsea last year but no move materialised and he signed a contract extension until 2021 in December. However, the 29-year-old’s future has again come under scrutiny following a blazing touchline row with coach Massimiliano Allegri that saw him dropped from the squad for the 2-0 Champions League victory away to Porto. Although Bonucci insists that he and Allegri have buried the hatchet, he has suggested that the club will have the final decision on any possible transfer amid links with Chelsea and Manchester City....

It will get a lot of praise (indeed, it already has from three Nobel Laureates), because it is a work of staggering ambition—aiming to explain why liberty has or has not existed at every moment in time in every geography in the world. It will be widely quoted because it offers a stinging critique of Trumpism and capitalism as practiced in America today, along with a stern warning that, “Yes, despotism could happen here....

Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by- Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart by Ian Ayres With the shift from old-time pen-and-paper record-keeping to digitalinformation management largely completed in most of the world, humans now sit atop a vast and ever-growing mountain of statistics. And although data-driven stock trading has come in for harsh criticism as markets have turned volatile, Yale Law School professor Ayres argues that in the right hands—and brains—the data explosion actually enables better decision making in fields as various as medical diagnosis, airline-ticket pricing and Hollywood screenwriting....

Renko is an unwilling hero. He isn’t particularly idealistic, or if he is, his idealism is all wrapped up in his professionalism. He can’t stand to do anything less than a thorough job. So, near the beginning of “Stalin’s Ghost,” he comes across a crime scene—a man face down at his kitchen table with a cleaver in his neck and a hysterical, blood-spattered wife in the bedroom. Detectives are already on the scene, the woman has confessed, and yet Renko can’t help asking questions....

Toobin, a legal analyst at CNN and The New Yorker, is the third author this year to dish on the inner workings of the Supreme Court. Last winter Jan Crawford Greenburg of ABC News (“Supreme Conflict”) and Jeffrey Rosen of The New Republic (“The Supreme Court”) also made personality studies of the justices and their relationships with each other. The conceit, usually unspoken, is that inside dirt on their rapport helps us understand the court’s jurisprudence....

In her haste to consume the treat, she also eats the plastic figure, and so Borat and his daughter go to have the baby “removed,” and at this point the audience can probably see where this is going. As Miss Sagdiyev so eloquently informs the man at the clinic: “I have a baby inside me, and I want to take it out of me....
