India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and home hero Ravindra Jadeja combined to fashion a 434-run romp to victory against England in the third Test on Sunday, exposing holes in the touring side’s high-risk approach in the process. There was no inkling of any imminent collapse when opener Ben Duckett smashed an 88-ball hundred to lead England’s strong reply to India’s first-innings 445 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium. Joe Root then played a highly debatable shot, a reverse scoop against India’s premier seamer Jasprit Bumrah, to depart, which triggered a spectacular collapse. Cruising at 224-2, England folded for 319 as they…
We’re deep into winter, and while you might be experiencing balmy weather depending on where you are, it has been chillier than usual in many states. Whatever the weather, there’s nothing quite like curling up on the couch to watch a new show on a lazy Sunday or when you’re ready to unwind on a weeknight. But it’s easy to waste an hour (or more) scrolling endlessly through the streaming services to which you subscribe in search of the right show. There’s both too much and nothing to watch! If your choice is Netflix, the selection is so expansive that…

Did she do it or didn’t she? That’s the central question behind Anatomy of a Fall, 2023’s most acclaimed thriller that still has everyone talking.

An imposing personality on the court, Aryna Sabalenka can tear her opponents apart with stinging groundstrokes. She is also the owner of arguably the biggest serve women’s tennis has ever seen. Those weapons were launched with great precision by the tall Belarusian last month Down Under. The world number two ruthlessly dismantled all her opponents in Melbourne to become the only second player since 2013 to defend the Australian Open title. But not many people know that her glorious triumph at the Australian Open, where she didn’t lose a single set in seven matches, was built in Dubai. In the…
In October 2022, when I first reviewed the RTX 4090, I called it “both a complete waste of money and the most powerful graphics card ever made.” That’s even more true now that it was more than a year ago. The AI boom shortly after the launch of the RTX 4090, combined with some international restrictions on the GPU, has caused prices to skyrocket to unattainable places, moving the affordability from unlikely to basically impossible. But that’s changing. Reports indicate that prices are slowly dropping, moving from a high of $2,200 down to around $2,000. That’s still way above the…
