Wade is departing for India Saturday ahead of the upcoming four-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Nathan Coulter-Nile is with the ODI squad at the Sydney Cricket Ground for the fourth ODI Friday and will fly to Melbourne Saturday as extra cover, as Mitchell Starc‘s workload is managed ahead of his departure for the Tour of India. Adam Voges will stay with the Australian ODI squad for Sunday’s game while Glenn Maxwell will also leave for India Saturday....
The world No.6 hit 12 aces, 10 more than Safarova and broke her serves four times to win the match in style on Monday. Safarova committed five double-faults and scored 14 points less than Pliskova, reports Xinhua. Fourth seed Simona Halep’s opening outing at the Wuhan Open came to a premature end when Irina-Camelia Begu retired midway through a Romanian second-round encounter. Halep, who arrived in China with just six wins to her credit in the past three years in Asia, had a quicker-than-expected win on Monday as a back injury forced compatriot Begu to call it a day when trailing 3-6, 0-2....
Playing for the first time since her disappointing third-round defeat at Wimbledon, the world number one came through a gruelling second-round test that was initially halted by rain on Wednesday. Pavlyuchenkova repeatedly threatened an upset when the match restarted and was on the brink of victory when she was a break up in the third set, but Halep defiantly fought back to clinch victory. Starting play with Halep 4-3 down, the Romanian deservedly broke in front after a couple of comfortable holds but was swiftly pegged back, Pavlyuchenkova preying on second serves with strong returns....
For the uninitiated, Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition is developer Grove Street Games’ attempt to remaster three classic GTA games with upgrades like updated textures and resolution. The remasters are Grand Theft Auto 3, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. While this sounds like a dream come true for many gamers, the public reaction has been negative, with the poor quality resulting in incredibly low Metacritic scores for the GTA Trilogy....
The Guardians of the Galaxy films in the MCU have plenty of unique and interesting elements of their own, but it might do the franchise well to “steal” the idea of Star-lord using elemental attacks for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Quill’s attacks in the game aren’t necessarily revolutionary in terms of unique video game moves, but, when viewed through the lens of the Guardians films, could do a lot to spice things up and change the formula for the third entry in the franchise....
Previous videos for Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy provided glimpses of the game’s cosmic setting, the characters within it, and the main heroes themselves. In the game, players will take on the role of Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, and through him they will be able to lead the Guardians on another intergalactic adventure. However, the latest trailer has shown more of the villains that will appear in the game....
Aguero’s priceless response to being fined City have been linked with a £50 million move for the Dutch centre-back and Goal understands that the club will sign him if the opportunity presents itself. Club officials, however, are adamant that only Gabriel Jesus, who was signed in the summer but allowed to remain with boyhood club Palmeiras until the end of the Brazilian season, will join up with the squad in the upcoming transfer window....
Premier League Team of the Week City won 2-1 at Selhurst Park, thanks to a Yaya Toure double, to ensure they capitalised on draws by Liverpool and Arsenal to sit a point behind Chelsea at the top of the table. But victory only came after Connor Wickham had equalised and threatened to condemn the Blues to a fourth 1-1 draw from their last five games. Guardiola’s side have drawn their three most recent home games by that scoreline despite dominating each match, and while the Catalan was impressed with the spirit shown to win a difficult away game in south London, there was a sense of frustration that his team have dropped points while playing well but won while playing badly....
Jesus’ winner at Southampton in the final minute of last season ensured City finished with 100 points – the 21-year-old’s campaign yielding 13 goals from 29 league appearances. But the early months of 2018-19 have been full of toil for Jesus, who has just one Premier League strike – in a 6-1 thrashing of Huddersfield Town back in August – from nine outings. Seven of those have been as a substitute, however, and Guardiola was deeply impressed by the striker’s showing in Thursday’s 2-0 EFL Cup win over Fulham....
City had won nine Premier League games in a row before the enforced two-week break, but any fears that they would not be able to continue their stunning form were dispelled as goals from Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne put the Foxes to the sword. Guardiola’s side rarely looked in danger of not picking up three points with Harry Maguire’s deflected effort against the post the only significant scare in a comfortable win....
Pep Guardiola’s City are firmly in control of the Premier League title race, holding a 13-point advantage over United despite drawing 1-1 at Burnley on Saturday. Rooney played as United were beaten by Guardiola’s great Barcelona side in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals – scoring in the latter defeat at Wembley – and he grudgingly concedes his old rivals are a pleasure to watch. “In terms of catching Manchester City, certainly not this season and, if I’m honest, next season it will be very difficult,” he told Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football programme when assessing United’s prospects in the Manchester rivalry....
The leaders responded to their 4-3 loss to Liverpool last week, their first in domestic competition this season, with a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday. That restored their 12-point lead at the top of the table after Manchester United had briefly reduced it to nine with a 1-0 win away to Burnley. Guardiola now wants 30 more points from City’s final 14 matches to make sure of a first league title since he came to England in 2016....
Why Payet wants Marseille return Gabriel Jesus, who agreed to join from Palmeiras in August, has completed his move to the Etihad Stadium this month but has so far been the only arrival. City were heavily linked with a move for Holger Badstuber, who has since joined Schalke on loan from Bayern Munich, with Guardiola said to be concerned by a lack of defensive options while they wait for captain Vincent Kompany to return to fitness....
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner first established himself as the shining light of world football under Guardiola’s guidance at Barcelona between 2008 and 2012, while the presence of former Camp Nou figures Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano on the board at the Etihad Stadium has contributed to City regularly being linked with Messi’s signature. The latest round of speculation surrounding the 29-year-old’s future this week centred on a potential audacious swoop from Manchester United, but, speaking ahead of City’s Premier League trip to Burnley, Guardiola echoed the thoughts of his counterpart Jose Mourinho by stating it would be fitting for Messi to conclude his stellar career in Catalonia....
Stoichkov played with Guardiola from 1990-95 at Camp Nou, with the latter going on to enjoy a successful managerial career at the club before moving to Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Wherever Pep has gone, trophies have followed. He has won six domestic league titles, and is red-hot favourite to make it seven with City this season, four domestic cup competitions and the Champions League twice. Stoichkov believes this is down to the natural leadership abilities of the 47-year-old, but also the type of financial support he has enjoyed at these sides....
According to the team principal, having only one free practice session will make it difficult for the American team to nail the right setup for the sprint race. The team had a disappointing outing in Melbourne after exceeding all expectations in the first two races of the season. Both drivers, Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen, failed to score any points at Albert Park after Haas struggled to set up the cars in the proper manner....
When Sony announced its PlayStation VR2 headset at CES 2022, Horizon Call of the Mountain was revealed to be its killer app. This Horizon spin-off positions Guerilla as a major force for Sony, and it notably moves away from the story of Aloy to flesh out other parts of the world. There are plenty more opportunities for Horizon spin-offs, but one of the most obvious ideas Guerrilla could attempt is a sort of prequel that depicts Operation: Enduring Victory, in the style of its own sci-fi first-person shooter franchise, Killzone....
Guerrilla Games recently tweeted about a new job opening at the studio, and while, a job opening wouldn’t be suspicious and wouldn’t necessarily point to Horizon: Zero Dawn 2, as soon as the tweet went up, it was deleted. Raising questions as to why the tweet was deleted. RELATED: Horizon: Zero Dawn 2 May Add Multiplayer Mode The main reason is probably that the tweet had the hashtag PS5, and the company didn’t want to give away any details that the developer is working on an unannounced PS5 game....
A Mumsnet user posting under the name CraggyIslandTouristBoard fumed over the time the main meal was served at two different weddings. In the U.K., where the ceremonies are thought to have taken place, the average cost of the big day was £17,300 ($21,019), according to a 2021 survey by Hitched. They broke down how much each factor cost, citing £65 per head on catering. They noted: “Catering spend is also on the up—in 2019, couples spent a total of £3,887 on their wedding catering, however our survey revealed that in 2021, couples spent an average of £65 per head on catering, with 72 guests on average attending—that’s a total spend of £4,680....
