Australia has already missed out on an early opportunity and South Africa has showed plenty of batting muscle ahead of their highly-anticipating showdown at the Cricket World Cup on Thursday.There’s a re-laid wicket to contend with at Lucknow, with spinners expected to find assistance. The pitches were dug up at the stadium after the Indian Premier League and the authorities even fired the curator when India played a low-scoring Twenty20 international there against New Zealand in January.“It’s a bit of an unknown here,” Australian allrounder Glenn Maxwell said. “It will be a fresh start for the whole ground, turn up on the day and see how it looks. We are prepared for whatever conditions come our way over the next few games.”Five-time champion Australia lost its opening match to India, while South Africa posted a World Cup record total in its opening win over Sri Lanka.India dismissed the Australians for 199 before Pat Cummins’ lineup had the hosts on the mat in reply with three wic...Texas executes man who questioned evidence presented at his trial in the fatal carjacking of an elderly woman

This season was such a thrill, but it ended on a dud, with Baltimore finding itself with too large a deficit for even this resilient bunch to overcome. A magical year is over, but the disappointing ending aside, it felt like the beginning of something.Jacob Calvin Meyer: Throughout the regular season, the Orioles praised their deep lineup, with contributors one through nine. In the ALDS, it was the Rangers’ that delivered.

Israel has stopped entry of food, fuel and medicine into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing.The war, which has claimed at least 2,100 lives on both sides, is expected to escalate. Israel appears determined to crush Hamas’ hold on Gaza, following an unprecedented attack in which militants gunned down civilians in their homes, on streets and at a mass outdoor music festival, while dragging men, women and children into captivity.
