India vs South Africa, 2nd Test: Dogged Proteas render hosts’ bowlers ineffective on benign pitch to take control on Day 2 | Cricket News

Published by Webster

The last wicket-less session for India at home was a month back in Delhi, during a late West Indies uprising. But the way their bowlers were foiled by the South Africa lower order has no recent precedent. Senuran Muthusamy’s defiance (109), Marco Jansen’s belligerence (93) and Kyle Verreynne’s resourcefulness (45) covered Day 2 in near-entirety to deflate India early in the second Test. It will take a herculean feat, and a fast one at that, for the hosts – 0-1 down in the two-Test series – to bounce back after conceding 489 in over 151 overs at the ACA Stadium. Batting under floodlights and lavender skies, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (7 not out) and KL Rahul (2 not out) survived as play closed three minutes before the scheduled stumps with India at nine without loss.

Dealing with a dogged problem

Dealing with a dogged problem

Published by Parlour News

With about 9 lakh street dogs, Kerala is going to find it nearly impossible to comply with the Supreme Court’s latest order directing States to relocate these animals from public spaces to dog pounds. Last week, the Court directed local bodies across the country to remove “every stray dog found within the premises of an educational institution, hospital, sports complex, bus stand/depot, or railway station and to shift such animal/s to a designated shelter, after due sterilisation and vaccination, in accordance with the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023”. The Court also said that the “stray dogs so picked up shall not be released back to the same location from which they were picked up.” This is a clear departure from the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023 that lay down a ‘capture-sterilise-vaccinate-return’ policy. Challenges While the order may appear sound from a public health and safety standpoint, it risks going unimplemented. There are immense infrastructural and human resource demands that this exercise entails. Stray dogs coexist with humans in public places where food is available. …

Sunil Gavaskar was angry. “Stupid, stupid, stupid!” Rishabh Pant had just missed a lap-scoop and hit on his midriff by Scott Boland when he tried again next ball. But the swirler off the edge was caught at the third man, who didn’t have to move an inch. Gavaskar was on ABC radio and even suggested Pant should be walking off to the Australian dressing room. To be fair to Pant, right through the series whenever India have been in a crisis when he came to bat – and that’s nearly every time, he hasn’t gone for anything outlandish. He has actually tried defending and grinding out – against his character but couldn’t survive for any meaningful length of time. He has a way of walking into a defensive prod – landing on his front heel, never a great sign of balance, and pushing his bat out only for the angle to take the edge. And he has been taken out in that fashion in a few innings now. The same thing happened on Day 3, …

Yashasvi Jaiswal equals Sunil Gavaskar’s 46-year-old record with dogged century in Perth Test – India TV

Yashasvi Jaiswal equals Sunil Gavaskar’s 46-year-old record with dogged century in Perth Test – India TV

Image Source : AP Yashasvi Jaiswal. After a forgettable outing in the first innings where he bagged an eight-ball duck, Yashasvi Jaiswal changed his fortunes around in style as he smashed a dogged and memorable hundred in the second innings to put India in pole position in the ongoing Perth Test. Jaiswal has now become only the third India player to score a hundred in their maiden Test appearance in Australia. Only two other Indians had scored a hundred in their first Test appearance in Australia and they were Motganhalli Jaisimha and Sunil Gavaskar. Jaisimha scored 74 and 101 in the Brisbane Test which was played between India and Australia in January 1968. On the other hand, Gavaskar had scored 3 and 113 in the Brisbane Test in 1977 against Australia.  Notably, the former India opener Murali Vijay had come very close to getting on the list but was adjudged leg before wicket (LBW) on 99 in the second innings of the Adelaide Test which was his first red-ball appearance in Australia.

Munirathna: An MLA dogged by many controversies

Published by Parlour News

Former Minister Munirathna Naidu, 60, is the BJP MLA from R. R. Nagar in Bengaluru, has been a film producer, civil contractor and a former rowdy-sheeter. No stranger to controversies, he seems to be facing the toughest one ever right now with a Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to probe his alleged crimes, including bribery, criminal intimidation, caste abuse, rape, honey trap and blackmail. He appears to be at his lowest politically, with allegations of abusing Vokkaligas and Scheduled Castes, and also blackmailing his own party leaders using honey trap. However, Munirathna has been a survivor, always managing to get out of tight spots and reinventing himself. He has often proudly said that he has faced many allegations and cases in his life, but was never convicted.  Days in the underworld Munirathna’s family hails from Chittoor in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. They settled down in Kodandaramapura, Vyalikaval, near Malleswaram in Bengaluru, where the MLA continues to reside. After losing his father when he was 15, Munirathna was arrested for assaulting two rowdy-sheeters in his area in …
