This year, unlike the previous BBL seasons, the tournament will not follow a home and away format. Eight venues across the Australian continent will host BBL 2020. The Sydney Sixers are the defending champions of the BBL while the Melbourne Stars reached the last two finals but ended the seasons without a championship. Some big names like Steve Smith, Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton, and Tom Curran have pulled out of BBL 2020 owing to bio-bubble fatigue....

New Delhi/Mumbai, Apr 3 (PTI) The BCCI is set for another massive windfall as Star, Sony and Jio engaged in a bidding war for the Global Consolidated Media Rights (GCR) for the 2018-2023 cycle of India’s home bilateral series, which is currently valued at Rs 4442 crore, after the end of the opening day of the first ever e-auction. The current valuation is already 15 per cent more than Star TV’s erstwhile record bid of Rs 3851 crore (USD 750 million then) in 2012....

And then there were three. In an interview yesterday with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich revealed plans to “transition out” of the Democratic presidential race, leaving Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and the rest of America to continue ignoring his existence. Sure, Kucinich’s unabashedly liberal positions–single-payer health care; immediate withdrawal from NAFTA; a cabinet-level Department of Peace; “fostering a world of international cooperation”–never earned him more than a few points in national surveys....

Chicago was trolled relentlessly on Twitter for taking Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet with its first second-round pick, despite already having nine tight ends on the roster. To be fair, SN’s Vinnie Iyer gave the pick an A as the Bears’ tight ends were among the least productive in the league last season (46 catches, 416 yards and two TDs). The Bears got another A from Iyer in the second round, picking Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson to start opposite Kyle Fuller....

[HTML1] First, Battlefield 3 got the ‘Back to Karkand’ DLC pack which let long-time fans reminisce on some of the franchise’s most popular classic maps. Then, the game went all-infantry with ‘Close Quarters’ and its four new maps. In September, DICE released the vehicle-focused ‘Armored Kill’ which featured the biggest map in series history. Next, Battlefield 3 is going to explore the Jurassic period. We’re kidding (sadly), but the upcoming ‘Aftermath’ DLC is coming soon and Electronic Arts has just unveiled its release date, a brand new trailer, and a tease of a weapon Bethesda couldn’t even get right in their last two Elder Scrolls games: crossbows....

The vehicular miscellany was detailed in full by DICE at E3 - our Armored Kill hands on preview got a taste of its four sprawling new maps and new vehicles and tank classes. The release dates announced today, however, will arrive in a three-pronged variety of systems and stipulations.

On Wednesday, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District said that it would extend the Spare the Air Alert—which bans burning wood, manufactured fire logs, or any other solid fuel, both indoors and outdoors—through Sunday, August 23.

The Poland striker made public his unhappiness at the Allianz Arena in August as he accused Bayern of failing to provide adequate support during a brief slump in form last season. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were reportedly interested, but Bayern held firm in their stance against a sale, despite the 30-year-old’s insistence on airing his grievances. Lewandowski admits he never anticipated he would be sold but felt obliged to speak out due to the “strange atmosphere” at the club....

The Poland international had just doubled Bayern’s lead with a cool finish from the edge of the box when he pulled up, clutching his hamstring. 9/2 for Celtic and Bayern to draw He attempted to play on for a few minutes but then signalled to the bench that he needed to come off. There were fears the 29-year-old could miss Tuesday’s trip to Celtic, but the German champions released a statement after the game saying Lewandowski’s removal was “precautionary” due to “mild muscular problems....

The Italy defender was scathing in his assessment of referee Michael Oliver, who awarded a stoppage-time penalty and sent off goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon for dissent as reigning champions Madrid advanced to the semi-finals 4-3 on aggregate despite Wednesday’s 3-1 loss. It was a night of drama at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Juve remarkably overturned a 3-0 first-leg deficit to leave the quarter-final tie poised for extra time. However, Medhi Benatia’s challenge on Lucas Vazquez saw Oliver point to the spot at the death as Buffon protested furiously before he was shown red in the Spanish capital – Wojciech Szczesny brought on for a penalty that was blasted past him by Cristiano Ronaldo....

Bayern advanced 4-2 on aggregate after a 1-1 draw in Manchester, but waited until the last 30 minutes to make the two-leg series as one-sided as many had expected it to be from the beginning. Bayern dominated the first half but failed to make much out of its possession advantage, and Patrice Evra put United ahead with a superb volley in the 57th minute. That served as a wake-up call for Bayern, though, and the lead lasted only two minutes before Mario Mandzukic got the equalizer....

A massive response follows from the crowd: “Rodriguez!” “James!” “Rodriguez!” “James!” “Rodriguez!” Bayern 15/2 to win Champions League The atmosphere feels a bit like the Allianz Arena, but in actuality we are inside Summers Restaurant in Arlington, Va. Though we’re more than 4,000 miles away, coming to Summers for Bayern matches is just about as close as you can get to the Allianz without buying a ticket. The bar and restaurant just outside of Washington D....

The Bundesliga front-runners will have to do without Ribery at the Bavarian derby as the attacking midfielder was forced to undergo surgery Thursday owing to “a burst blood vessel in his buttock”, reports Xinhua. The Frenchman stays in the hospital until Sunday to undergo a post-operative examination which will provide further information on how long he will be forced to stay out of action. “I hope he can train with us again as soon as possible,” Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said Friday....

Why Alexis wants to leave Arsenal Kroos opted against renewing his contract at the Allianz Arena as he did not feel appreciated, prompting Bayern to cash in on the Germany international to prevent him from leaving on a free at the end of his deal. The 27-year-old has since developed into a key figure at Madrid and Matthaus thinks Bayern should be regretting their decision to let Kroos leave....

Baylor defeated North Carolina, Indiana, Oregon and Nebraska along the way as well....

Before release, a Bayonetta 3 voice-acting controversy erupted with the change of Bayonetta’s voice actor from the first two games. What Bayonetta 3 retains from the previous two games is the same frenetic combat broken up by exploration sections of the dreamlike levels. Finding every one of the collectibles will take exploring every nook and cranny while using different weapons and skills to reach otherwise inaccessible areas. Collecting the puzzle pieces can be difficult as reaching them requires successful completion of timed platforming sequences...

Both sides have gone head-to-head eight times in the BBL with the Hurricanes leading the scoreline 6-2.

In reply, Thunder started their chase in similar fashion and seemed on drivers seat with Jos Buttler (81 runs from 43 balls) thrashing the the Hurricanes all over the park....
