Stuart Broad reasons why England should not make Ben Stokes ODI captain: ‘Would be lost for words’ | Cricket News

Published by Webster

While England are in search of a new ODI captain, former seamer Stuart Broad has cautioned against taking a backward step in appointing Test skipper Ben Stokes as leader of the 50-over side. After England’s harrowing league-stage Champions Trophy exit and Jos Buttler’s resignation from captaincy, ECB managing director Rob Key had suggested Stokes among the potential candidates for the ODI captaincy. “Ben Stokes is one of the best captains I’ve ever seen. So it would be stupid not to look at him. It’s just the knock-on effect of what that means,” Key told reporters last week. “I think nothing’s off the table really. You look at every single option and you think, right, what is the best thing to do? How is that going to impact on other things? While Stokes had previously hinted at returning for the Champions Trophy, a hamstring tear during last year’s New Zealand tour doused the plans. Stokes has not featured in a 50-over match since the 2023 ODI World Cup, a tournament for which he had returned from …

US FTC Moves Ahead With Broad Microsoft Antitrust Probe

US FTC Moves Ahead With Broad Microsoft Antitrust Probe

Published by Webster

The US Federal Trade Commission is moving ahead with a sprawling antitrust probe of Microsoft that was opened in the waning days of the Biden Administration, signaling that Donald Trump’s new FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson is going to prioritize scrutiny of tech giants. FTC staff in recent weeks have continued to work on the investigation, meeting with companies and other groups to gather information, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named discussing a confidential investigation. The FTC sent Microsoft a so-called civil investigative demand, which is similar to a subpoena, late last year. The document, a copy of which was viewed by Bloomberg, compels the company to turn over reams of data about its AI operations, including the cost to train models and obtain data, going as far back as 2016. The agency sought details about Microsoft’s data centers, its struggles to find enough computing power to meet customer demand and the company’s software licensing practices. The FTC is also scrutinising Microsoft’s decision to slash funding on its own …

The seamer Harshit Rana, has been brought in as a replacement for Shivam Dube after the latter was hit with the ball. Harshit Rana made a stunning performance picking three wickets at crucial times which helped the hosts to secure a 15-run victory in the England tour of India 2025. But it has created a controversy as several former cricketers have slammed this action saying it was not a like-for-like replacement. Chris Broad has taken the matter to X, voicing his concerns on the issues. “Independent match officials were brought in to stop situations like this!

Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024 | CSDS-Lokniti Survey: BJP builds a broad caste coalition, garnering Maratha and OBC votes

Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024 | CSDS-Lokniti Survey: BJP builds a broad caste coalition, garnering Maratha and OBC votes

Published by Parlour News

In the Lokniti survey, almost three of every 10 Marathas have indicated their preference for the BJP. File | Photo Credit: The Hindu For the past three decades, Maharashtra has seen continuous fragmentation of various caste groups, but notably the Maratha-Kunbi caste cluster. The idea of ‘vote bank’ is always employed in discussing the close connection between the Maratha community and the Congress. That vote bank was practically dissolved in the 1995 Assembly election. As the Congress in the State went on declining, its base among Other Backward Classes (OBCs) too became invisible. Since then, the BJP and the Shiv Sena together and separately kept trying to win a larger share of both the Maratha and the OBC vote. In 2014, the BJP emerged as a major player in State politics and began attracting both the Marathas and the OBCs. In the latest election, the process of coming together of the Marathas and OBCs as supporters of the BJP has gone one step further. In the Lokniti survey, almost three of every 10 Marathas (including the …

AUS A vs IND A, 2nd Unofficial Test: ‘I’d have walked’ – Stuart Broad reacts after Marcus Harris stands his ground despite edging it to first slip | Cricket News

Published by Webster

AUS A vs IND A: In the second unofficial Test between Australia A and India A at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), former England seamer Stuart Broad took a sly dig at Australia A batter Marcus Harris, who stood his ground after edging a delivery to first slip on Day 2. Commenting on an Instagram reel shared by Cricket Australia, Broad wrote, “I’d have walked for that.” In the 43rd over of the match, Tanush Kotian deceived Harris with flight, causing the ball to spin past his edge and land in the hands of a sharp Devdutt Padikkal at first slip. The Indian fielders appealed confidently but were left stunned when the umpire ruled Harris not out. Harris himself remained at the crease. Reflecting on the incident, Harris was quoted by cricket.com.au as saying, “The boys said they watched the replays 20 times and couldn’t really tell (if it was out).” He added, “The god’s honest truth was I wasn’t sure. If they reviewed it and it showed I hit it and got caught, I …
