“It was a failure of my leadership,” said the 28-year-old. “I am deeply sorry, I love the game of cricket, I love kids wanting to play the great game of cricket that I love. Any time you think about making a questionable decision, think about affecting your parents. “To see the way my old man has been, and my mum, it hurts. I just want to say I’m sorry for the pain I have brought to Australia and the fans and the public,” he added....

Based on available data, the U.S. has now overtaken China as the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, though there are questions around the reliability of figures released by Beijing. Other Asian countries have also recorded low rates of infection when compared to states in the West, notably the U.S., Italy and Spain. South Korea, for example, has tested its population aggressively to locate and contain the spread of infection....

Mandy Rose has been with Tino Sabbatelli since their stint at the WWE Performance Center in 2018. The couple met while she was filming for the Tough Enough competition. Sabbatelli was seemingly attracted to Rose from the beginning, but she was engaged at the time. The Toxic Attraction leader was previously in a relationship with Michael Lubic. The two reportedly started dating in 2010, when Rose was new to television....

While once well-known for his pioneering work fusing the fields of electronics and musical instruments—he is widely regarded as having helped create a precursor to the synthesizer, which he used to great effect in films such as the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds—his contribution may have been in danger of becoming forgotten among all but music historians and film buffs. Google has temporarily replaced its usual logo with a picture of Sala that, if clicked on, leads to a short biography celebrating the musician’s life and achievements on what would have been his 112th birthday....

Google’s decision to celebrate Temple on June 9 with a Google Doodle—a special temporary alteration to its homepage logo that commemorates holidays, events, achievements and historical figures—isn’t casual. It was on this date in 2015 that Temple’s hometown of Santa Monica, California, opened “Love, Shirley Temple,” a special exhibit held at the Santa Monica History Museum featuring a collection of her rare memorabilia. Born in 1928, Temple was barely six-year-old when she captured the imagination of a nation as she secured a role in the toe-tapping musical Stand Up and Cheer in 1934, a year in which she starred in a dozen movies including Bright Eyes, where she performed On the Good Ship Lollipop, which became to be known as one of her most famous routines....

ESPN and The Athletic reported the Jets tried to trade the three-time Pro Bowler, but decided to cut their losses when no suitors materialized. The franchise will pay Bell a $2.5 million bonus later this week and the pro-rated remainder of his base salary, which amounts to $6 million and will allow whichever team signs Bell to do so for the league minimum. Bell sat out the entirety of the 2018 season due to a contract holdout which led to a tumultuous divorce from the Pittsburgh Steelers....

It’s the biggest club game in Europe and most fans will have a strong opinion as to whether the match will go in favor of the Reds or Whites. They are two storied sides that are among the most popular: Real Madrid are record 13-time champions of the competition, while Liverpool are seeking their 7th title as Europe’s champions. There’s plenty of experience on both sides of the field. Nearly this same Liverpool team won the title back in 2019, and additions like Thiago, who has won the competition twice before, only add to the English side’s Champions League pedigree....

To this day, it is the only time McGregor has ever rematched someone, but on January 23 that will change. At UFC 257, McGregor will face Poirier again after he knocked out “The Diamond” in the first round. What was different for Conor McGregor in the rematch? In the first fight, McGregor fought Diaz on short notice at welterweight, after his last fight, which was at featherweight. Early on, he had success, but the extra weight caused him to gas out, and after Diaz rocked him, McGregor shot for a takedown before getting choked out....

Neymar’s made all the right noises about Messi that Barcelona like to hear. “Hero”, “idol”, “best in the world” are all terms at one stage or another used by the Brazil captain to describe Messi. With another four-year deal on the table, there is little chance of anyone let alone Neymar breaking through the glass ceiling and dislodging Messi from his perch as lord of all he surveys. Leipzig reveal €75m Keita offer...

Instead of showing Season 19, Episode 6 of the show (the second instalment following the departure of Mark Harmon as Leroy Jethro Gibbs), the series aired a repeat from the previous season. Viewers, however, will be able to watch the next episode “False Start” very soon—and they should not be worried too much about the fact that NCIS is taking a week off. Why ‘NCIS’ Didn’t Air a New Episode This Week The reason why CBS aired a repeat of NCIS this week is just part of the normal (if frustrating) way that network TV schedules its shows....

His follower count jumped to over 11,000 almost immediately. The video, which was widely shared, has since been taken down. However, it is not known whether he took the video down of his own will or if it was taken down by authorities. Which TikTok made Momoispimpin go viral?...

If there’s any one thing we’ll see a lot of on Super Bowl Sunday, aside from bad commercials and points, it’s speed. Both the Chiefs and 49ers have a lot of it, and it comes in all different forms. All blurred eyes will be set on the explosiveness of a few fast, fast dudes, led primarily by incendiary Kansas City wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill is known for his ridiculous speed, but he’ll have some competition on the sidelines in Super Bowl 54 — both on his own, and the opposition....

The Avalanche and the Lightning are set to start their Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday, June 15 with Game 1 in Denver. It’s two teams that entered the 2021-22 season with the top two odds of winning the Cup, and now here we are months later with these two teams as the last ones standing. Entering the postseason, Colorado was given the best odds to win the Cup by the oddsmaker and have proven them right so far, needing just four games to beat the Predators in the first round, six for the Blues in the second and four again in the conference finals to advance past the Oilers....

“The Mandalorian is a mysterious, lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy. Some might say he has questionable moral character, which is in line with some of our best westerns, some good samurai. All the good stuff. He’s a badass,” Pascal said at Star Wars Celebration in April. Mandalorians are from the warrior society of Mandalore. Little is revealed about the planet or its inhabitants in the Star Wars movies, though its local politics were a major plot point in Star Wars animated series The Clone Wars....
