Prior to the start of each IPL season, all the captains are supposed to pledge their allegiance to the Marylebone Cricket Club’s (MCC) Spirit of Cricket campaign by signing on a bat, but Warner’s absence meant that Shikhar Dhawan had to do the honours on his behalf. All the other 7 captains, including Shane Watson and George Bailey, who were part of Australia’s victorious World Cup campaign, were present for the opening ceremony....

Newsweek cannot confirm the veracity of the DRASTIC group or the existence of the Project DEFUSE documents described. The group says the documents were provided anonymously. DRASTIC is a group of activists who say they are working towards solving the “riddle” of the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that is behind the COVID pandemic. They say they were given documents by an anonymous source which detail something called “Project DEFUSE....

City were confirmed as champions on Sunday following Manchester United’s shock defeat at the hands of West Brom. The Blues still have five games to play this season, including three at home; against Swansea City on Sunday, Huddersfield a week later and Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday, May 9. The Premier League usually presents the trophy following the champions’ final home game, where possible, but that will not be the case this season....
The San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper replaces Brad Guzan, who will miss the two games. The Middlesbrough goalkeeper and his wife are expecting the birth of their second child in the coming days. Chicharito headlines Mexico roster With Guzan’s departure, Tim Howard will almost certainly start for the U.S. in its crucial World Cup qualifiers against Honduras on March 24 and Panama on March 28.

The Blues unsuccessfully pursued the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Alessio Romagnoli and Niklas Sule before landing Luiz and continue to be linked with further defensive additions in the January transfer window. Liverpool get the better of WBA and title rivals But Conte has dismissed suggestions their bid for the Brazilian centre-back was a last resort and says it had his backing as well as the club’s. “Never do we take the decisions [alone],” Conte told reporters....
Georgia Republican Senator David Perdue, who is facing off against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, cannot vote in what is traditionally an innocuous joint session of Congress to count state electoral votes this Wednesday—an event being widely touted by President Donald Trump and his most staunch supporters as a “last stand” against President-elect Joe Biden taking the White House on January 20. That is because—regardless of whether Perdue wins or loses the day before the Senate session—his term officially expires at the end of the current Congress this Sunday, and certification of the election result could take up to two weeks....
Villa announced his departure from NYCFC on Wednesday, turning down an opportunity to stay with the team, while making it clear he plans on continuing to play. “I think it’s been four very good years,” Villa said of his time with NYCFC. “I think it was an experience totally different than any before it, starting a team from zero, being the first player. “I think if we look at what the team was when we began, and look at what it is today, obviously the change is significant and I feel like I played my part in that growth....
The Davidson Wildcats took the field Thursday night with one goal in mind: win. They certainly accomplished that goal and much more after a record-setting performance against Division III Guilford College. “You never expect what happened last night to happen,” first-year Davidson head coach Scot Abell told Sporting News. “Really, all we’ve focused on and all we’ve talked about is trying to execute for four quarters.” MORE: Breaking down Davidson’s 91-61 win over Guilford...
The Davis Cup Finals in Madrid opened to a mixed response a week back, but it has garnered plenty of excitement over the last few days thanks to headlining performances by Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, the top two players in the world. It has been a week of surprise victories and shock defeats but in the end, the last two standing teams are Canada and the men from the host country, Spain....
Dawson scored his third goal in his last five matches when he beat Ben Foster in the 72nd minute following Dieumerci Mbokani’s nod down, rescuing a point for the home side who were outplayed for large parts of the match. McAuley looked set to be the unlikely hero after he evaded the home defence and sent a thunderous header past the helpless David Marshall in the 34th minute after being picked out by Matt Phillips....
These attacks were claimed by notorious hacking group Lizard Squad, and they have since threatened and carried out similar attacks. Thanks to the actions by Lizard Squad, whenever PSN or Xbox Live go down, like PSN was down for a few hours over 4th of July weekend, it’s hard not to wonder if the downtime is due to simple technical difficulties, or yet another malicious DDoS attack. Gamers angry over the Christmas downtime and the attacks on services that they have to pay to use such as PS Plus and Xbox Live should be happy to know that at least one member of Lizard Squad, Julius Kivimaki, has been found guilty of over 50,000 counts of cybercrime....

Days Gone’s massive file size shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone who has played triple-A games on this current generation of consoles. Many games have had massive file sizes similar to the 67GB Days Gone file size, and some have required even more space than Days Gone. These huge file sizes may inconvenience gamers that haven’t upgraded their PS4’s storage capacity, but at least knowing what the file size is in advance gives them the time to clear some space....
Days Gone’s new mode has the players race against the clock in fast-paced Crazy Taxi-esque gameplay. Players have to pick up passengers in a golf-cart/taxi and drop them off at their destinations while dodging a bunch of obstacles and making sure that the passengers arrive in one piece. The happier the passenger at the end, the higher points players will score. The clock is always ticking in this rush-racing mode, and the only way to prolong the timer is to smash into the undead....
While there’s no official title for the free content update, one of the more notable additions to Days Gone is the introduction of a new Survival difficulty. While tougher enemies are a common feature whenever a harder difficulty is introduced, its the removal of the game’s fast-travel system that makes these changes more significant. Given the world of Days Gone is fairly large and frequently sees enemy patrols and freaker hordes trying to ambush main character Deacon St....
MORE: Week 1 picks | Notable players cut | Fantasy Source In the context of Robert Griffin III’s eight-month recovery from a torn ACL and Adrian Peterson’s eight-and-a-half-month rehab, Revis coming back after 11 1/2 months makes him sound like a slacker. Still, it’s nothing routine and nothing that can be taken for granted. Should he return as the best cover corner in the game, the way Peterson came back as a near-record-breaking runner and Griffin comes back with seemingly the same speed and mobility as before, Revis will be as much of a medical miracle as they are....
