Apos;King apos; Kohli To apos;Baby AB apos;: Hits And Misses Of The 2022 IPL Season

2022-11-17T14:40:20Z

Savannah44Z:

Torrid time: Virat Kohli The high-octane Indian Premier League moves into the playoffs this week with four teams left to battle for the glitzy Twenty20 championship and the winners to be crowned in Sunday's final. Gujarat Titans, Rajasthan Royals, Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore are all that remain standing from the 10 teams who embarked on a marathon season of 70 matches two months ago. Ahead of Tuesday's first playoff match when Gujarat Titans face Rajasthan Royals in Kolkata, AFP Sport highlights five players who grabbed the headlines this season in the world's most valuable cricket tournament: - Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore) - The superstar's batting slump has been a constant talking point during the season as Kohli suffered three uncharacteristic 'golden ducks' -- out on the first ball of his innings. But 'King' Kohli bounced back just in time for his team's final league game with a match-winning 73 off 54 balls that helped the team make the top four. Kohli, 33, has endured a torrid 12 months that saw him replaced as Indian captain, give up the Bangalore armband and fail to score a century in more than 100 matches in all formats. Now he and Bangalore stand just three wins from a maiden IPL title and play Lucknow in an eliminator on Wednesday. "I'm actually in the happiest phase of my life. I am not finding any self-worth or value in what I do in the field. I'm way past that phase. This is a phase of evolution for me," Kohli said. - Jos Buttler (Rajasthan Royals) - The England batsman has bossed this IPL with three centuries to help Rajasthan finish second in the table, awaiting table-toppers Gujarat in the first qualifier on Tuesday. Smiling assassin: Jos Buttler Buttler has been a smiling assassin, stroking 629 runs in 14 matches -- the most of any player -- while smashing 37 sixes at a strike-rate of 146.96. Buttler has received praise from his rivals with Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Shreyas Iyer hailing the skill of the Englishman after he scored 103 against his team last month. "The way he manoeuvres the ball, he is a classy batsman," said Shreyas. - Umran Malik (Sunrisers Hyderabad) - The young speedster took the IPL by storm and on Sunday earned his maiden India call-up for the Twenty20 series against South Africa. The 22-year-old Malik, from the Jammu region of Indian-administered Kashmir, bowled the fastest ball of the tournament at 156.9 kph (97.5 mph) and took 22 wickets in 14 matches. His thunderbolts won rave reviews from international cricketers, including Hyderabad's bowling coach Dale Steyn who said he was "blown away" by the youngster's pace. - Rashid Khan (Gujarat Titans) - Rashid was the key to his team starting with a bang as they remarkably topped the table in their debut season. The Afghanistan wizard not only bamboozled the batsman with his leg-spin bowling but also provided some explosive batting as he displayed his all-round talent. He scored a whirlwind unbeaten 31, including two sixes from the last two balls, to pull off a stunning chase against Hyderabad. And his four wickets against Lucknow helped Gujarat become the first team to book a play-off spot. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen said Rashid "delivers whenever the captain looks at him." - Dewald Brevis (Mumbai Indians) - The uncapped South African batsman made his presence felt with knocks to remember for wooden-spooners Mumbai Indians. The 19-year-old scored 161 runs in seven matches for five-time champions Mumbai who brought the U19 World Cup star for $389,610. He capped off the IPL with a crucial 37 off 33 balls in Mumbai's win over Delhi and credited South African great AB de Villiers for his success. "He is such a great human being... and he is really one of the best," said Brevis. "Having him as a mentor is special to me," added the youngster who has been nicknamed "Baby AB" for [https://youtu.be/EUcoYllQbrE https://youtu.be/EUcoYllQbrE] his ability to hit innovative big shots like his older compatriot.

Australia apos;s Marsh Ruled Out Of Top End One-dayers

2022-11-17T14:35:42Z

Savannah44Z:

TOWNSVILLE, Australia, Aug 30 (Reuters) - All-rounder Mitchell Marsh has been withdrawn from the squad for Australia's five remaining one-day internationals in Queensland over the next two weeks because of an ankle injury. Wicketkeeper-batsman Josh Inglis has been called up to replace Marsh for [http://tupalo.com/en/users/3431399 http://tupalo.com/en/users/3431399] the remaining two matches against Zimbabwe in Towsnville and the three-match series against New Zealand in Cairns. The withdrawal of Marsh with ankle soreness was precautionary given his importance to the Twenty20 team, who will defend the World Cup they won last year on home soil in October and November. "Not ideal for Mitch, he's been playing some good white-ball cricket recently," former captain Steve Smith told reporters on Tuesday. "And obviously the way we set up our team the other day with bulk allrounders, he was a big part of that. Disappointing for Mitch but there's some pretty important stuff coming up. "He was a big part of our T20 World Cup campaign last year and I'm sure there's big plans for him this year, so the priority is to get him right for that." Marsh took the first wicket of the Australia's 2022-23 season when he had Zimbabwe opener Innocent Kaia caught and bowled in the opening one-dayer on Sunday, which the hosts won by five wickets. Smith, who scored 48 not out, was happy with his first innings of the season and said he hoped to become a fixture at number three in Australia's batting order in short format cricket. "Who wouldn't want to be facing the newish ball in any white ball cricket?" he added. "That's where my record's probably best. I think I've done a reasonable job over a period of time at number three and, yeah, that's my most comfortable spot." The second ODI against Zimbabwe takes place at the Riverway Stadium on Wednesday.

Fairytale End As Taylor Seals New Zealand Win Over Bangladesh

2022-11-17T14:30:33Z

Savannah44Z:

All smiles: New Zealand's record-scoring batsman Ross Taylor took a wicket against Bangladesh with his final action in red-ball cricket after 112 Tests New Zealand wrapped up the second Test against Bangladesh by an innings and 117 runs in Christchurch on Tuesday to draw the series, with veteran batsman Ross Taylor taking the final wicket in a fairytale finish to his Test career. Bangladesh, forced to follow on 385 runs behind, were dismissed in their second innings for [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qWxsnDG3JyZKHxlqusOo7HwlPmfAiJaJ73x59fJ9Hsc/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qWxsnDG3JyZKHxlqusOo7HwlPmfAiJaJ73x59fJ9Hsc/edit?usp=sharing] 278 after Liton Das had cracked a gallant 102 off 111 deliveries. But the day belonged to 37-year-old Taylor, New Zealand's elder statesman playing his 112th and final Test, who had a rare bowl with his part-time offspin at the end and needed just three balls to take the last wicket of Ebadot Hossain, caught by Tom Latham for four. - Fitting farewell - It was a fitting farewell for Taylor, who bowed out of red-ball cricket with a New Zealand record 7,683 runs, putting him 37th in the all-time list of the sport's most prolific run-getters. New Zealand's Ross Taylor walks from the field for the last time in a Test match following the end of day three of the second cricket Test match between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Christchurch on January 11, 2022. "I wanted to finish with a win and the guys definitely gave that to me," Taylor said. "The way we came out and bowled and put them under pressure after putting up a very good total put us in good stead. It was an emotional game for me, my family and friends and it was good to get the win." Captain Tom Latham summed up New Zealand's victory as "close to the perfect performance. "After losing the toss and getting put in, to get a significant score on the board and then for the bowlers to do their thing on a wicket that was flattening out was outstanding." The Bangladesh top order put up gritty resistance in reaching 123 for three, while Liton shared a century partnership for the sixth wicket with Nurul Hasan. But there was no fight in the tail as New Zealand, the reigning world Test champions, completed a much-needed win after being comprehensively beaten by eight wickets in the first Test. - 'Big achievement' - Rather than be disappointed in the result, Bangladesh captain Mominul Haque said winning one Test and sharing the two-match series was "a very big achievement for us". "So we have to take this challenge and continue our momentum," he added. New Zealand's captain Tom Latham (right) and Bangladesh's captain Mominul Haque share the series trophy after the second Test was won by New Zealand in Christchurch on Tuesday Bangladesh were sunk in their second innings by the bounce of Neil Wagner, who took three for 77, while Kyle Jamieson finished with four for 82. But the foundations for New Zealand's victory were laid by captain Latham with his epic 252 setting up a mammoth first innings 521 for six declared. The Bangladesh bowlers failed to capitalise on the green wicket after winning the toss and asking New Zealand to bat. When Bangladesh batted, the hosts' pace bowlers showed how to use the conditions, skittling the tourists for 126 with Trent Boult taking five for 43 and Tim Southee three for 28. When Bangladesh were sent in again, New Zealand produced the third weapon in their bowling armoury, short-ball specialist Wagner. After Jamieson removed Shadman Islam (21), Wagner entered the action with a short ball to Najmul Hossain Shanto (29) that was hooked to Boult on the fine-leg boundary. Debutant Mohammad Naim made a cautious 24 off 98 balls before he fell to Southee and then Wagner was back in the action. Skipper Mominul Haque had reached 37 when Wagner switched to a full delivery which was edged to Taylor at first slip. Yasir Ali, who scored 55 in the first innings, was on two when he fended at a rising Wagner delivery and the ball lobbed to Latham at second slip. Jamieson, who struggled with his line in the losing Test, won by Bangladesh by eight wickets, was much sharper in Christchurch, removing Mehidy Hasan and Liton to go with the wicket of Shadman.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro Review: Improved Design Pays Dividends

2022-11-17T14:25:28Z

Savannah44Z:

id="article-body" class="row moveBodyAds" section="article-body" data-component="trackCWV"> When Samsung launched its original noise-canceling earbuds, one of its headline marketing messages was the attention it paid to their sound quality. Indeed, they delivered on that front, but a certain subset of users, including me, found them to be a less than ideal fit for their ears. In my case, none of the included ear tips allowed me to get a tight seal, so I had to swap in a larger set of tips from a rival set of earbuds. So, needless to say, I was curious to see what Samsung's engineers had come up with for the second-gen ($230, £219, AU$349), suspecting they'd address that fit issue. 8.4 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro LikeImproved design with more comfortable fitExcellent sound and good noise cancelingVery good voice-calling performanceAssortment of extra features for Galaxy device owners, including 360 Audio virtual surround sound and hands-free Bixby voice assistantFully waterproof (IPX7) Don't LikeFairly priceySome key features only work with Samsung devicesNo true multipoint Bluetooth pairing Sure enough, they did. The first thing you'll notice about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro -- which are launching alongside the new and -- is that they simply have a better all-around design than their predecessor. Not only are they 15% smaller, according to Samsung, but they weigh slightly less (5.5 grams per bud versus 6.3 grams) and have a matte finish on both the buds and case that gives them a nicer feel and makes them a bit more grippy. Read more: That makes the compact case a little less likely to slip out of your hand and -- more importantly -- it helps keep the buds in your ears a little more securely. And thanks to their new shape and smaller size, I was able to get a tight seal with the largest set of included ear tips and didn't have to supply my own. Additionally, the earbuds don't stick out of your ears as much as the original Galaxy Buds Pro did, and they look more discreet. They're available in three colors -- Bora purple, white and graphite -- and while I can't say they'll fit all ears equally well, they should provide a better fit to more ears than the original Galaxy Buds Pro. Proprietary high-res audio and other Galaxy-exclusive features Aside from the revamped design, Samsung is touting the buds' improved noise canceling and support for 24-bit high-resolution audio. The catch is to get that 24-bit audio you'll need a Galaxy device equipped with Samsung's One UI 4.0 and a like , or that streams high-res audio tracks. On all other devices, including Android phones and iPhones, the buds default to the AAC audio codec. They use Bluetooth 5.3. Alas, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don't support the more common AptX Adaptive audio codec for Android devices, only the new Samsung Seamless Hi-Fi codec, which Samsung says delivers 256x more sound data than 16-bit (CD quality) audio. Numbers like that are a bit deceptive because, based on my experience, you're really only going to notice a slight difference when streaming higher bit-rate tracks. But more on that after I round out the rest of the feature set. The buds didn't stick out of my ears too much. David Carnoy/CNET Like their predecessor, these have touch controls (you can turn certain ones on or off, or you can turn them all off) along with an option to activate hands-free Bixby, Samsung's voice assistant. Additionally, Samsung's 360 Audio virtual surround feature (with head tracking) returns in an "Enhanced" version and now works with a variety of Galaxy devices out of the gate, though it's not compatible with other Android devices. It works along the same lines as Apple's spatial audio feature for AirPods and can enhance your movie and TV watching experience, though it doesn't seem to be as pronounced Apple's spatial audio, which I think is slightly better overall. It also works with music or any audio you're listening to. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are IPX7 water-resistant, which means they can withstand being fully submerged in 1-meter deep water for up to 30 minutes. I had no problem running with them and they didn't slip out of my ears. Like their predecessors, battery life is rated at five hours with noise canceling on and eight hours with it off at moderate volume levels, plus you get about three additional charges from the case (it charges via USB-C and wirelessly). You could quibble that five hours is pretty mediocre and that no improvements have been made to the battery life, but it's hard to shrink buds while increasing battery life. Also, when you drop the buds in the case, there's a quick charge feature that nets you an hour of use with a five-minute charge and double that with a 10-minute charge. Samsung says the buds have an improved air vent (to relieve pressure) and wind shield. David Carnoy/CNET Sensors detect when the buds are in your ears and will pause your music when you take both buds out of your ears and but won't resume playback when you put them back in without you tapping on one of the buds (you can use a single bud while leaving the other one in the case). Additionally, you can opt to activate a "voice detect" mode in the Galaxy Wearable companion app that automatically turns off noise canceling and switches to "ambient sound" mode when you speak, allowing you to hear the outside world and engage in a conversation with someone. Sony offers a similar feature with its and earbuds. Another new feature worth mentioning has nothing to do with audio. You can toggle on the "neck stretch reminders" setting that detects your head position and alerts you when you've bent your head downward for 10 minutes. As I've written this review, I've been alerted several times to stretch my neck. Like the AirPods and some other earbuds these have a find-my-buds feature that Samsung calls SmartThings Find. It can tell you your location when the buds were last connected to your device, but it doesn't offer the more precise tracking capabilities of Apple's enhanced Find My in its latest AirPods. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have three microphones on each earbud along with ear-detection sensors. David Carnoy/CNET Lastly, like their predecessor and the more affordable , the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don't offer true multipoint Bluetooth pairing that allows you to pair them with two devices, such as a phone and computer, at the same time. But Samsung says they seamlessly pair with all the Samsung devices logged into your Samsung account, including Samsung TVs built in 2022 or later and Samsung built after 2020. The Buds 2 Pro offer automatic switching between those devices. So if, for instance, a call comes in on your phone as you're watching a movie on your Tab S8 tablet, the audio will automatically switch to your phone when you answer the call. That's similar to how Apple's AirPods auto pair with any Apple devices logged into your iCloud account. Note that I haven't thoroughly tested the auto-switching feature with many Samsung devices (because I only own a few) so I can't confirm exactly how reliable it is. I spent more time manually switching my audio between a Galaxy Flip 3 and non-Samsung devices. Impressive all-around performer Samsung says it's improved the noise canceling on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 40% (it calls it "Intelligent ANC"). I found it an improvement on the original Galaxy Buds Pro, but noise-canceling performance is affected by how tight a seal you get from the ear tips (as is sound quality), so your perception of how much it's improved may vary by how good a seal you get. I thought the noise canceling was close but not quite there, compared with the noise canceling of the Sony WF-1000XM4, but it did a good job muffling a variety of noise on the streets of New York and underground in the subway. You can turn the noise canceling off or activate ambient mode, the equivalent of Apple's transparency mode, which I thought sounded natural. But there's no setting to adjust noise canceling levels; it automatically adapts to your environment. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are equipped with two-way drivers (10mm woofer, 5.3mm tweeter), which is nice, and three microphones, two of which are beam-forming for voice calls. I paired them with a Galaxy Z Flip 3, iPhone 13 Pro and Google Pixel 4 XL and streamed music using Qobuz. I also streamed some movies from Google Play and Netflix. According to Samsung, there's no way to check whether you're getting 24-bit audio (nothing indicates whether you are -- or aren't), but if your audio setup meets the requirements listed -- a Galaxy phone with Android 8.0 or higher and One UI 4.0 or higher with at least 1.5GB of RAM -- you'll be using the Samsung Seamless Codec, which transmits in 24-bit, assuming your audio files support it. (Qobuz files do.) I find it irritating that there's no way to tell what bit rate you're streaming at, but I'll have to take Samsung's word that I was getting 24-bit audio. I did notice a slight difference when streaming with the Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, using the iPhone 13 Pro, the sound quality was also very good with an amply wide soundstage. I went back and forth with Spoon's Knock Knock Knock track and a few other songs. The Flip 3's sound came across slightly more accurately (a bit more clarity) with a touch more detail and depth. The bass is punchy and well-defined and I didn't experience any noticeable distortion at higher volumes. In short, they're excellent-sounding buds, though I'm not sure they're superior to other top earbuds in their price range, including the , and . I mostly went with the default sound setting, though you can tweak the signature profile in the Galaxy Wearable app with some preset equalizer settings, including a bass boost setting. The truth is a lot of these premium earbuds are starting to sound pretty similar and it's really the fit -- and how they fit your particular ears -- that's going to make you like one more than another. I'll finish by saying that once again Samsung has delivered a set of Galaxy buds that work quite well as a headset for making calls. They have good voice pick-up from the beam-forming microphones while providing good background noise reduction. Callers said they could hear me relatively clearly in the noisy streets of New York and the buds did a decent job reducing wind noise. They're in the upper echelons in terms of voice-calling performance. Galaxy Buds 2 Pro final thoughts For better or worse, [https://sportsshopss.blogspot.com/2022/04/manish-pandey-net-worth-2022-ipl-salary.html sportsshopss.blogspot.com] Galaxy Buds have always been an accessory for Galaxy smartphones and, as a result, more geared toward owners of Galaxy devices. The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are no exception. They're excellent earbuds, but you lose some of their key features if you're not a Galaxy device owner. For that reason, it's easy to see them as the Samsung equivalent of the AirPods Pro, which may very well get some sort of high-resolution wireless streaming option with the arrival of the AirPods Pro 2 that will likely use proprietary Apple technology that only works with its devices. By comparison, the Pixel Buds Pro have fewer features geared exclusively toward Pixel owners (virtual surround), and such features as hands-free Google Assistant and true multipoint Bluetooth pairing are available across all Android devices. However, the Pixel Buds have no enhanced audio codec support, which may be important if you're convinced it makes a big difference. I personally think it makes only a slight difference with this class of earbuds, which may have a premium price tag but aren't high-end. The bigger question will be whether it's worth upgrading to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro if you already own a pair of Galaxy Buds, particularly the original Galaxy Buds Pro. I think that will largely depend on what price you can get the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for. While their list price is $230, Samsung is currently offering (any Galaxy Buds in any condition) that bring their price down to around $155 and you can often get deals on them as part of a bundle with a new Galaxy phone. For me anyway, while the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offer some small performance improvements over their predecessor, their design is the biggest upgrade. That makes them the best Galaxy Buds yet.
