On August 30, local co-op fans can look forward to the release of two different local co-op games. The headliner is Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed, a remake of Destroy All Humans 2 that is scheduled to launch for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. Destroy All Humans 2: Reprobed will feature revamped graphics, but otherwise should be a fairly faithful recreation of the original Destroy All Humans 2....
Opening batsman Warner suffered the injury while fielding during Saturday’s victory over South Africa in the triangular one-day series in St Kitts. “We will assess the situation over the coming days to see if the injury requires a surgical option but should that not be the case then David is likely to be available to return to play in somewhere between two and six weeks,” team doctor Geoffrey Verrall said in a statement....
Tait, who had retired from first-class cricket in 2009 and one-day internationals in 2011, continued to play as a Twenty20 specialist, with his last match coming for the Hobart Hurricanes against the Sydney Thunder in the 2016-17 Big Bash League. “I honestly wanted to play a couple more years, whether it was over in the UK or here,” the 34-year-old Tait told cricket.com.au. “The elbow has pretty much gone off a cliff now, it’s done and dusted....
Pujara scored 106 runs from 319 balls and helped India post a mammoth total in the first innings. The knock included ten fours but the low strike-rate has evoked some queries as India would now have to bowl extremely well to finish on top. Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant accelerated towards the end of the second day, following which Virat Kohli declared at 443 with 7 overs left in the day....
For Kohli, the conditions hardly matter. The way he is shattering all the records and achieving new milestones, he looks set to become the most complete and adaptable batsman of all time. Right from the time he made his debut for India in 2008, Kohli has continuously evolved as a batsman. The way he approaches his batting and constructs his innings in all the three formats of the game would definitely be a story to tell for the future generations....
Vihari has looked very solid during this knock in his technique against both pace and spin. He has always been extremely good against spin. But there has been some weakness against pace, especially the short-pitched deliveries directed at his body. This weakness was exploited by the Australian pacers at MCG, but he had still managed to occupy the crease long enough to dent the new ball attack before succumbing to it....
(Reuters) - Liga champions Real Madrid suffered another dent in their hopes of defending the title as they drew 0-0 at Atletico Madrid in the first local derby at the Wanda Metropolitano, an encounter high on intensity and passion but low on quality. Atletico were gifted a glorious chance with the game less than three minutes old when Marcelo played a woeful back pass which invited the hosts to attack and the ball made its way to Angel Correa, who sliced his shot wide of goal with only Kiko Casilla to beat....
BARCELONA (Reuters) - Valencia have gone from being the laughing stock of La Liga a year ago to becoming the main challengers to Barcelona in the title race and face the biggest test of their credentials when they host Ernesto Valverde’s leaders on Sunday. Valencia, the six times Liga champions who last lifted the title in 2004 under Rafael Benitez, are on a club record run of eight straight wins and another victory in Sunday’s top-of-the-table clash would put them within a point of Barcelona....
(Reuters) - Having reached the 2018 World Cup after a patchy campaign during which they sacked coach Ante Cacic, Croatia will head to the 32-team tournament in Russia hoping to emulate the Balkan nation’s 1998 success when they made the semi-finals. The Croatians have reached 10 out of 12 major tournaments as an independent nation but have made little sustained impact as subsequent generations failed to match the 1998 team’s accomplishment....
“After a great deal of thought and soul-searching, I’ve decided that the journey for me ends as Socceroo coach,” an emotional Postecoglou told a press conference in Sydney. “It’s been the biggest privilege of my life and probably not the ending I had envisaged when we started, but at the same time, knowing it’s the right time for me and the right decision,” he said. In recent weeks the Australian had refused to confirm or deny reports that he would quit even if the Socceroos qualified for Russia 2018, only saying he would meet with Football Federation Australia officials this week....
The 23-year-old produced five aces against six double faults and won 69% of his total service points. He had decent statistics on returns as well, managing to convert three out of the five break points that he got. The Chennai player will take on World No. 123 Tim Smyczek for a place in the summit clash of this ATP 250 grasscourt event. Ramanathan thus became the first Indian since Somdev Devvarman in 2011 to reach a semi-final on the ATP Tour....
Djokovic is expected to return to the tour in two weeks’ time at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. With the Serb dropping points from winning Dubai in 2020 and the Australian Open in 2021, his top spot could come under threat from Russia’s Daniil Medvedev. Australian Open runner-up Medvedev, who withdrew from this week’s Rotterdam Open, remains at No. 2 in the latest ATP rankings, trailing Djokovic by 1,240 points....
The Ghana Football Association confirmed Atsu’s arrival in camp on Tuesday via their official Twitter account. It remains to be seen if the speedster will be passed fit for Sunday’s fixture at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium. While playing against Bournemouth in the English Premier League on Saturday, the winger tweaked a muscle after attempting a shot, leading to his withdrawal moments later. Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez confirmed the set-back during his post-match presser, prompting speculations that the 25-year-old will likely withdraw from the upcoming World Cup qualifier....
It’s looking like that’s the case as Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury owner Robert Sarver is being forced to sell the teams due to public pressure following accusations of alleged racism and sexism. Another one bites the dust? And “another one” doesn’t equate to just Sarver. Rather, Sarver is indirectly putting another target on the back of Washington Commanders owner Dan Synder. As we all know, the Washington Commanders changed their name from the Washington Redskins, but the “Redskins” name change didn’t stop the heat for Dan Snyder....
