Too quiet on the set filming accidents often go untold

As many names looked up the screen after 2012's The Avengers, moviegoers who stayed stuck to their seats for an essence of the following treat in Marvel's superhero universe didn't have any acquaintance with one name was missing _ that of John Suttles, a truck driver who kicked the bucket making the $1.5 billion blockbuster.

Consistently, laborers on both sides of the camera are debilitated, blazed, break bones and even pass on endeavoring to convey diversion that packs multiplexes and summons beat TV appraisals. Wounds come not simply from evident dangers, for example, tricks and explosives, however from tumbles off stepping stools, toppled hardware and machines without security protects.

However in an industry where basically everything is counted and each achievement is touted, set mischances to remain to a great extent covered up and the results for the most part add up to negligible a large number of dollars in fines paid out of multimillion-dollar spending plans.

The Associated Press discovered that since 1990, no less than 43 individuals have kicked the bucket on sets in the US and more than 150 have been left with life-modifying wounds, numbers inferred by sifting through information from working environment and avionics security examinations, court records and news accounts. Also, those figures don't generally recount the whole story: The AP found a few cases in which real mischances did not show up in an Occupational Safety and Health Administration database of the most genuine mishaps.

The most glaring oversight is the 1993 shooting demise of on-screen character Brandon Lee amid the taping of the film The Crow, notwithstanding North Carolina OSHA authorities storing up a 1,500-page investigative document. An office representative faulted an administrative blunder.

Globally, no less than 37 individuals have passed on in taping mischances since 2000, including a laborer executed Aug. 26 in Budapest on the arrangement of the Blade Runner spin-off.

Wounds to performing artists normally stand out as truly newsworthy, similar to Harrison Ford's broken leg on the seventh Star Wars film in 2014. In any case, that is not the situation when most off-screen specialists are harmed.

"I believe it's dependably been something that has been cleared under the mat," said Stephen Farber, a writer who chronicled the consequence of the lethal 1982 Twilight Zone helicopter crash that slaughtered performer Vic Morrow and two youngsters.

OSHA examines most work environment mishaps, whether they occur on a motion picture set, a plant or a homestead.

The demise of Lee, hotshot Bruce Lee's child, provoked changes on how guns are dealt with on sets. However it likewise delineates the negligible entireties organizations confront after genuine mischances. OSHA fined "The Crow" makers $84,000 _ the most noteworthy shooting fine required since 1990 _ yet later lessened the punishment to $55,000. "The Crow" netted more than $50 million.

The AP's survey found that in about a large portion of the examples where OSHA fined studios after a genuine mischance, the punishment was decreased.

John Suttles tumbled from the back of a truck he was get ready to drive from a Los Angeles studio to an Avengers set in New Mexico. For his situation, a film organization partnered with Marvel proprietor Walt Disney paid a $745 fine for not having legitimate hand-hangs on the truck and not providing drivers with emergency treatment units.

The Vietnam War veteran had only a couple of hours of rest before he was gotten back to get the Marvel stack and had been dealing with The Avengers for quite a long time, said girl Lanette Leon, notwithstanding ducking out right on time from his 65th birthday gathering to make a conveyance for the then-hidden film.

Leon said her exclusive communication with the organizations after her dad's passing was experiencing the challenging procedure of securing enough laborers' pay cash to cover her child's tutoring, which Suttles had been paying for. Laborers' pay is the elite solution for most by far of specialists harmed at work and the groups of those slaughtered and keeps them from suing unless their cases fall into a modest bunch of slender exemptions.

"It was exceptionally discouraging to see that at last, that they treated him like a number," Leon said.

Wonder and Disney did not react to inquiries regarding Suttles' mischance.

Hassan Adan, a local chief for California's work environment wellbeing organization, said settlements are resolved on a case-by-case premise and are planned to redress unsafe circumstances. "We attempt to blunder in favor of security," he said.

Some inside the business say that, alongside worries about laborers' prosperity, heftier cost-related variables are a greater wellbeing motivator than fines.

"Makers never need to have any mishap amid the taping of a movie. It can be costly," said veteran diversion lawyer Richard Charnley. "They're significant individuals. At times you're paying many thousands a day to film."

An expansive coalition _ including the real Hollywood studios and worker's organizations _ directs month to month wellbeing gatherings and has made its own preparation program. Since 2003, the Safety Pass program has prepared more than 50,000 specialists in numerous territories of generation, and it will start an aggressive program this year to give refresher courses to countless set laborers.

A few mischances, similar to the February 2014 demise of associate camera administrator Sarah Jones on a Georgia prepare trestle, get to be impetuses for more extensive wellbeing dialogs.

Recently, Jones' folks conveyed a quiet to a packed set in Los Angeles, where on-screen characters Shirley MacLaine and Amanda Seyfried arranged to shoot a scene for the up and coming film The Last Word. Richard Jones portrayed his girl's wild eyed last minutes before entreating the team, "Please pay special mind to each other."

MacLaine ventured forward, telling the Joneses, "Much obliged for helping all to remember us we must secure each other."

Minutes like these are vital to their central goal of enhancing security for specialists cooperatively.

"She cherished the business," Richard Jones said of his little girl. "We would prefer not to tear it down. We need to improve it and make it more secure."

To start with innings crumple cost England - Cook

India v England, 2nd Test

His words were confused in setting with the scorecard, yet you realized what Alastair Cook implied when he said his England group will leave Visakhapatnam with their "heads held high".

While there ought to never come a day when an annihilation this devastating - as far as runs, India have just beaten England once by a bigger edge than the 246 here - is acknowledged without torment, you comprehended what Cook implied when he said his side had "a great deal of motivations to be supported".

The end came rapidly. After outstanding resistance on day four, England died down so rapidly that, wicket to wicket, they lost each of the 10 in their second innings for just 83 runs.

Unmistakably that isn't adequate. Yet, there were a few unplayable conveyances (it is an abused word, however adept for the balls that rejected Haseeb Hameed and Zafar Ansari) and a few that were gigantically requesting. Ben Stokes additionally got an excellent conveyance; it was no disrespect to be expelled by it.

Maybe the edge was a bit of deluding, as well. Britain had chosen to focus on wrinkle occupation, propelled by South Africa enduring 143 overs in Delhi a year prior, and contemplated that, in the event that they could survive 150, they would be near wellbeing; Cook let it be known may have been a misstep. They endeavored to pursue their far-fetched target. Genuine, it didn't work out and genuine, had they played all the more forcefully, the edge may have been littler. Be that as it may, they may have lost on day four, as well.

In truth, when England started their second innings, this diversion was gone and there is no strategy that could have brought it back.

This was an amusement lost on the initial two days. By dropping Virat Kohli on 56 (he scored 248 keeps running in the diversion and the edge of triumph was 246; you don't need to be a virtuoso to comprehend his impact) and losing five wickets before stumps on day two, England supported wounds from which they couldn't recuperate. And also Stokes and Jonny Bairstow batted on day three, and in addition Cook and Hameed batted on day four and in addition England's bowlers - their seamers, specifically - performed on both, the injury was too profound.

"When you yield 455 and you're 80 for five, it's far back," Cook said. "That cost us the diversion. Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes indicated character and on the off chance that you remove Kohli's keeps running from their second innings - clearly you can't do that - they just made 120. Be that as it may, when you're behind it's difficult to recoup in these conditions. It's about first innings runs. We demonstrated some great aptitude and battle, however.

"We attempted to play the way we did in the fourth innings. Obviously, when it doesn't work you feel you could have been more positive. Be that as it may, you settle on a choice as a chief. We came up somewhat short. We contended so energetically. I have myself to fault."

Unmistakably the hurl was critical, as well. Be that as it may, Cook was mindful so as to genuinely recognize its impact without holing up behind it as the purpose behind annihilation. He realizes that once sides begin searching for reasons, they are as of now beaten.

"We can all concur it was a decent hurl to win," he said. "The primary day was the greatest day to bat. It got to be harder to score.

"On these two wickets, it has been extremely beneficial to bat first. Be that as it may, it doesn't ensure any outcome. India contended energetically and turned out with a draw and we weren't adequate to do it. Those five wickets on day two implied that we weren't equipped for drawing near to their first innings score.

"They rocked the bowling alley well. They are great bowlers in these conditions. Be that as it may, in Rajkot we got more than 700 runs and here we made them work truly hard in the last innings. They are great bowlers, however they are not supermen by any extend of creative ability."

Chris Woakes looks practically sure to return in Mohali for the harmed Stuart Broad. While there can be no dissensions about the execution of England's seamers in Visakhapatnam, England did - without precedent for a while - seem to have something of a tail. The last three batsmen scored 17 between them in the primary innings and the last four nine between them in the second. James Anderson recorded England's first lord combine since 1906. It's not one of the records he will esteem.

There will be more worry about the No. 4 position, however. Ben Duckett never looked prone to score keeps running here with a first-innings expulsion proposing at specialized insufficiencies and a moment innings rejection recommending a mixed personality. Apparently deficient with regards to trust with all due respect - not minimum on account of the rehashed way of his rejections against offspin - he grabbed at a range like a suffocating man grabbing at driftwood. A short time later Cook alluded to a "specialized imperfection" and appeared to set up the ground for a change. It would be an astound if Duckett played in Mohali.

"The distinction from playing in Northampton to playing here is very stark," Cook said. "All of a sudden each innings is examined. All of a sudden this specialized defect - whether it's a specialized imperfection or not - individuals know about it and there's most likely it influences folks. Ben is a truly gifted cricketer and I think we'll see significantly a greater amount of him in an England shirt. Whether he plays in Mohali or not, the selectors should accept an approach that."

The issue England have is the type of their options. Gary Ballance was dropped after the Dhaka catastrophe having arrived at the midpoint of just 19.90 in the six Tests since he was reviewed in July and neglected to achieve 30 in his last seven innings. He has really begun to bat pleasantly in the nets and that top of the line record (he has a normal of 47.38 with 29 centuries) reminds us he is a player of some family. Be that as it may, it would be an amaze if England returned to him just yet.

That leaves just Jos Buttler from a squad that looks a batsman short. Buttler has just had one top notch diversion in the 12 months since he was dropped. While few would debate his ability, there is a reason he was dropped and it was, to some extent, because of his battles fabricating an innings. He has scored just four top notch hundreds of years - both Woakes and Adil Rashid have twofold that number - and a top of the line batting normal of 32.07. He looks well on the way to play, however.

Ansari's place will go under examination, as well. He persevered through a peaceful diversion in Visakhapatnam, taking no wickets and scoring just four runs, however he was obviously not well (he heaved on the outfield at one phase) and endured a back fit, as well. It stays to be checked whether he is England's best left-arm alternative (Samit Patel would have offered better batting against turn; Jack Leach better knocking down some pins), however it is brutal to judge him on this appearing.

"He's had an intense three days physically," Cook said. "We do believe he has a part to play, yet clearly physically we need to ensure he's okay. It's sufficiently intense conditions when you're working at 100%, so in case you're not, it's not perfect."

Expansive, however, increased incredible acclaim from his skipper for his entire hearted, skilful execution in requesting conditions. There was no five-wicket pull be that as it may, when Broad thinks back on this Test, he may ponder it as one of the showcases of which he could be generally glad. The ligament damage he supported on the main day renders it most far-fetched he will be fit to play in Mohali.

"To get past as he did was a remarkable exertion," Cook said. "I think he was in significantly more torment than individuals know and he demonstrated one serious part of character. It's likely one of the fundamental reasons why he's been one of England's most prominent bowlers. When it got truly extreme, he stood up, he knocked down some pins his overs and got on with it.

"We don't know enough about the harm yet in light of the fact that it's a significant unordinary one, yet yes, in the event that he plays in Mohali, he'll be a major hazard."

In spite of the extent of thrashing, Cook remained generally playful. Mostly due to England's accomplishment in digging out from a deficit in 2012 - they lost the primary Test in Ahmedabad on that event - and incompletely in light of the fact that his side have, for extensive periods, contended well, he could conceive a route in which achievement could be accomplished. They "simply" need to take each risk and cut out the awful sessions.

"What's giving me conviction is that, more than 10 days of cricket, we have contended exceptionally well in India in their conditions," he said. "Yes, we have lost by a major edge. However, it was a monstrous hurl to lose and in specific times of diversion we played some great cricket.

"We have put their hitters under a great deal of weight. Adil Rashid has been astounding in these two recreations, a genuine stride up for him. Moeen Ali knocked down some pins truly well and Jimmy Anderson was great on his rebound. So there have been a considerable measure of good things. Be that as it may, we must assemble the entire diversion to beat India. In the event that we can advance beyond them in Mohali, then we can put weight on them.

"Yes, we've lost this diversion, however we'll hold our heads up high. There are a ton of motivations to be supported."

Tottenham's UCL trusts to be determined, Arsenal try to top Group An over PSG

We've achieved a basic point in the Champions League gather organize. This is what to pay special mind to in front of the matches this week:

Time running out for Tottenham

In the last round of Champions League apparatuses, Mauricio Pochettino endured a 1-0 misfortune that maybe denoted his most minimal point as Tottenham chief.

Bayer Leverkusen subjected Spurs to their second progressive thrashing at their brief European home of Wembley to drag out a keep running of six diversions without a win with an annihilation that has pushed them toward an untimely Champions League exit.

The anguish could be seen that night. It was a "terrible minute," as Pochettino put it. That run then extended to seven recreations, but since the following match was a 1-1 attract away to Arsenal in which they dug out from a deficit, there was a feeling of the tide turning.

At that point, all the feeling was turned in the space of two minutes on Saturday. That was the time it took for Spurs to return from 2-1 down to West Ham United to win 3-2. That was the time it took for everything at the club to feel diverse once more. They severely need to take that through to this must-win coordinate against a Monaco side who have officially beaten them at Wembley and lead Group E.

It would reinvigorate Spurs' Champions League battle as much as the group. Assist layering this match is the way that Leverkusen, who sit in second, two focuses behind Monaco and two in front of Spurs, face an unbalanced excursion to CSKA Moscow.

This is the round of the week, with the most riding on it. Monaco know a draw puts them through. Goads require a win to remain in it.

Gather An authority in question in Arsenal versus Paris Saint-Germain

Both Arsenal and PSG have officially fit the bill for the round of 16, but since they were put together in a generous gathering, that was never truly in uncertainty. Or maybe, Group A has all been working to this: A confrontation with top spot on offer.

It would mean significantly more to Arsenal since they haven't topped a Champions League assemble since 2012 and have so frequently paid the value, drawing a progression of world class sides in the knockout stage and in this manner losing. They are most likely a superior side than PSG at this moment, however, regardless of the possibility that they have dunked a little in the previous couple of weeks with draws against Tottenham and Manchester United and in addition enduring wounds to Hector Bellerin and Santi Cazorla.

In the mean time, PSG are as yet attempting to adjust to new director Unai Emery's techniques and sit at third in Ligue 1, three focuses off pioneers Nice. What's more, Emery's men are in risk of completing second in Europe, particularly if Arsenal can reestablish the enthusiastic assaulting football of the Champions League so far or expand on Olivier Giroud's fine late equalizer at the end of the week. It would simply be director Arsene Wenger's good fortune, be that as it may, if securing top spot implied confronting one of the first class sides that could complete second in their separate gatherings this season.

Qualifying positions set to be settled

It's lone the penultimate round of gathering amusements, however there could be a feeling of irrevocability for a couple groups. With five officially through, the rest of the 11 could be settled throughout the following two days. On the off chance that Manchester City attract away to Borussia Monchengladbach, for instance, both they and Barcelona will experience.

In the event that Spurs lose to Monaco and Leverkusen draw with CSKA Moscow, both the German and French side will experience.

Somewhere else, If Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival to Sporting Lisbon implies Real Madrid evade crush, they proceed with officially qualified Borussia Dortmund. On the off chance that Porto beat Copenhagen, both they and Leicester experience, however the last need just an attract at home to Club Brugge.

Lyon, in the mean time, must win away to Dinamo Zagreb, or Sevilla and Juventus will experience paying little heed to what happens between them.

At that point there is Group B, and that could yet be the most electric of all ...

Can Besiktas proceed with their rebound?

Besiktas offered a standout amongst the most epic exhibitions of the Champions League season so far by winning 3-2 away to Napoli in sensational conditions on Oct. 19, and on the off chance that they can expand on that and accomplish something comparable at home to Benfica, it would speak to a noteworthy surge.

It would likewise set up an exciting last day in Group B, as Besiktas - third with six focuses - would jump in front of a Benfica side in second with eight. On the off chance that Napoli assert a normal win at home to Dynamo Kyiv, they would be beat with 10 focuses, however that additionally ups the ante for resurgent Besiktas.

On the off chance that they lose to Benfica, and Napoli win, the Turkish side are out. This is one to watch.

The win put the group in the main four, while Comilla were left at the base of the focuses table after their 6th annihilation of the competition.

Two vital organizations - first between Tamim Iqbal and Anamul Haque, and afterward amongst Malik and Nabi - got them near the objective before Nabi coolly impacted sixes off Sohail Tanvir and Mohammad Saifuddin to complete the pursuit with four balls to save.

With 17 required off two overs, Tanvir evacuated Shoaib Malik for a 25-ball 38 and finished the 64-run fourth-wicket remain, off the main bundle of the penultimate over.

Weight ascended through spot balls however Nabi's high six over square-leg and single off the last ball kept Chittagong ahead with eight required off the last over. Mashrafe Mortaza gave the ball to Saifuddin, who had surrendered 30 keeps running in his past three overs, and Nabi edged him for a four off the principal ball. The following ball was pummeled for a six over long-on, Nabi's second in an innings of 46 off 24 balls which additionally included five fours.

Dwayne Smith had given Chittagong a quick begin by hitting five limits inside the initial eleven conveyances of the pursuit. Mashrafe Mortaza caught him leg-before in the third over however Comilla missed an opportunity to take more control in the amusement when Imrul Kayes neglected to hang on a catch at profound square-leg, offered by Tamim on 5.

Tamim went ahead to include 62 keeps running for the second wicket with Anamul Haque, and both batsmen kept pace with the required run rate. Tamim, who made 30 off 27 balls, tumbled to Ryan ten Doeschate in the tenth over, and in the bowler's next over, Anamul was expelled for 40 off 30 balls, leaving Chittagong with an objective of 81 keeps running in 8.2 overs.

John O'Shea sets story straight on part in Cristiano Ronaldo's Man United arrangement

A wide smile extends crosswise over John O'Shea's face when he is helped to remember the part he played in securing Cristiano Ronaldo's £12.2 million exchange to Manchester United in August 2003.

The grin is trailed by a shake of the head and a request that, in spite of the resulting request of Sir Alex Ferguson and colleagues, for example, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, Ronaldo did not turn into a United player just in light of the fact that he had run the powerless Republic of Ireland shield teased a muggy night in Lisbon.

Thirteen years on, Ronaldo comes back to childhood club Sporting Lisbon in a Real Madrid shirt surprisingly on Tuesday having formed into a worldwide genius since leaving the Portuguese mammoths for United as an intelligent 17-year-old.

The Portugal commander's life has changed to the point of being unrecognizable since United administrator Ferguson declined to leave Estadio Jose Alvalade taking after the winger's remarkable execution against the heartbreaking O'Shea on the night Sporting formally opened their new stadium.

In any case, what truly happened that night in Lisbon, when a United squad, fly slacked after a depleting four-diversion preseason voyage through the United States, touched down in the Portuguese money to confront Sporting? Also, was O'Shea the way to United doing the arrangement that would set Ronaldo making progress toward fame?

Ferguson, in his 2013 collection of memoirs, sets the scene as he depicts seeing Ronaldo at close hand interestingly.

"The primary pass Ronaldo took incited me to yell: 'For Christ's purpose, John, get tight to him!' Ferguson composed.

"John shrugged his shoulders. A look of plain bewilderment was crawling over his face. Alternate players in the burrow were stating; 'Ridiculous damnation, supervisor, he's some player him.'

"I said, 'It's okay. I have him sorted,' as though the arrangement had been done ten years prior. I told Albert, our pack man: 'Get up to that chiefs' container and get (Peter) Kenyon (the United CEO) down at half-time.'

"I told Peter, 'We're not leaving this ground until we have that kid marked.'

'Is he that great?' Kenyon inquired.

"John O'Shea's wound up with a headache!" I said. "Get him marked."

Joined shield Ferdinand, who had landed at Old Trafford 12 months prior in a £29.1m move from Leeds United, reviews the squad sitting on a transport outside the stadium for 60 minutes after the amusement as the particular chains of importance of the two clubs exploded an arrangement to sign Ronaldo. By that stage, O'Shea was being subjected to the pitiless insults of his partners for permitting a 17-year-old to embarrass him more than once.

In any case, O'Shea, now commander of Sunderland, trusts the time has come to set the record straight on his commitment to the Ronaldo story.

"We flew over from a voyage through America and straight to Lisbon with extreme fly slack," he told ESPN FC.

"Regularly everybody needs to play amusements, yet on this event everyone had a horrible evenings' rest before the diversion, awakening at two, three, four in the morning wide wakeful and not ready to return to rest.

"So everybody was not, should we say, in "pinnacle" condition for the diversion. Some young men were enchanted when the manager reported the group and they weren't beginning!"

In any case, if planning for a diversion with stream slack was sufficiently awful, confronting Ronaldo with his body-clock still some place between New York and Los Angeles was something else.

"On to the amusement and I'm beginning ideal back," O'Shea said. "Just before the diversion commences, I gaze upward and a youthful Ronaldo is gazing directly at me.

"He's there and brimming with focus, prepared to go.

"Presently in a few books composed by previous associates, there have been some very overstated stories, and trust it or not, about the amount "Ronnie" went past personal consistently, and tore me separated!

"My variant would be distinctive, yet he had an astounding amusement.

"At one phase, I took a gander at the hole when the ball had gone out for a toss in and a portion of the chaps on the seat were having a decent chuckle, believing that is the exact opposite thing you require when stream slacked - a youthful fellow needing to keep running at you over and over, going left, going right, curving turning, shooting each time he got inside separation of the objective.

"In any case, roundaboutly, I take it as a compliment that the supervisor needed to sign Ronaldo so rapidly after the diversion, in view of how he had performed against me that night.

"He needed him to join straight away instead of remaining on advance at Sporting Lisbon for one more year to create.

"I trust the arrangement was set up for Ronaldo to remain in Lisbon and afterward come to Manchester the accompanying season, however after his show of aptitude and development on the night, the manager ensured we didn't leave Lisbon without him, he was prepared."

Ronaldo, who scored the triumphant objective for United on his exclusive past come back to Sporting in a Champions League installation in September 2007, has since commanded the football organize with United and Real. This current summer's Euro 2016 triumph with Portugal including surprising global achievement that has so far evaded his fundamental adversary for top individual respects, Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi.

What's more, O'Shea concedes his old tormentor has surely benefited as much as possible from his profession since that night in Lisbon.

"He didn't turn out an awful player did he?" O'Shea said. "He has scored a couple of objectives and won a few trophies!

"He is the best player on the planet now, alongside another fella from Argentina."

BPL-2016

Dhaka Dynamites couldn't quite make use of Mosaddek Hossain's late-order hitting against Rajshahi Kings, but his unbeaten 28-ball 48 came in handy on Saturday as Dhaka Dynamites beat Rangpur Riders by 78 runs in Mirpur.

Rangpur, unbeaten in their first two matches, conceded 64 runs in the last five overs. Then, their big-hitters failed to turn up in a chase of 171. They stumbled to 92 for 9, with last man Richard Gleeson absent hurt. Both sides now have two wins in three matches.

Mosaddek walked out to bat amidst a collapse - Dhaka slipped from 79 for 1 when Nasir fell for 38, to 80 for 4 when Kumar Sangakkara was out for 29. But he quickly found his grove by cutting Shahid Afridi, going inside-out over cover off Arafat Sunny and then hitting Rubel Hossain for six over point.

He added 40 for the fifth-wicket with Shakib and then added 33 with Dwayne Bravo. Such was the confidence as the innings progressed that he even successfully reverse-swept Afridi. Seekkuge Prasanna struck Muktar Ali for two sixes in the last over that went for 16 runs to give Dhaka a flourish at the end.

Rangpur's reply began ominously when Mohammad Shahzad, reprieved at slip off the first ball, whipped Dwayne Bravo for six over midwicket. But Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Mithun's dwickets set them back. Nasir then took a tumbling catch running back from mid-off to get rid of Shahzad for 11.

Umpire Khalid Mahmud then adjudged Liam Dawson leg-before though replays confirmed that he had inside edged the ball on to his front pad. When Afridi holed out at cover in the 14th over, off Shakib, Rangpur's chase was all but over at 65 for 5. It continued to go downhill as Naeem Islam fell for a labored 26. Such was the collapse that the game was reduced to a mere formality halfway through the chase.

Tamim Iqbal livid after final-over choke

BPL : 2016

Mahmudullah was celebrating his side's four-run win over Chittagong Vikings, but the tension that was palpable when he was asked to defend six off the final over didn't wear off even after the post-match presentation. The Khulna Titans captain said that his primary target was to keep Mohammad Nabi off strike but ended up taking his wicket off the last ball.

This was the second time Mahmudullah sealed a tense win off the last over. In their first game against Rajshahi Kings, Mahmudullah took three wickets. Here too, he had three scalps and conceded just one run to take his side to No. 2 in the points table.

"I don't know, it just happened," Mahmudullah said when asked about he managed to defend six runs all over again. "My hands are still sweating. I just tried to keep [Mohammad] Nabi off strike, but the Chaturanga [de Silva] wicket was also important. I got a lot of confidence after giving away a single off the first ball and then getting that wicket with the next ball.

"I don't want to bowl in the death overs but had to do so because my main bowlers had their spells finished. I have been successful on two occasions now, but it can be different in the next game. But I am ready to take the chance again."

But the emotion was contrasting in the Chittagong camp where captain Tamim Iqbal was livid. He didn't single out anyone but he questioned the batsmen's mindset after they wilted in the final over.

"We will keep losing if we play this sort of cricket," he said. "Maybe the batsmen doesn't have problem with skill but there's definitely something wrong in his head if he doesn't understand something after sending 20 messages. We don't deserve to play here if we have to do spoon feeding at this level. I don't want to say the name, but I am talking about the batsmen."

He praised Mahmudullah's nerve for bowling a tight final over of a chase, but said that it was for Chittagong's to lose, and they did. "The match Riyad bhai won them, can only happen once every ten games. But he must be doing something right, now that he has done it twice," he said. "Credit goes to him because he bowled well but I think we are more to blame for losing this game. We had two set batsmen in the middle with just six runs to win."

Another Mahmudullah special helps Khulna defend 127

BPL : 2016

For the second time in three matches, Mahmudullah defended six runs in the final over to bowl Khulna Titans to a sensational four-run win against Chittagong Vikings at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Chittagong, in pursuit of Khulna's 127 for 7, began the final over of the chase on 122 for 6, but Mahmudullah took three wickets and conceded just one run to leave Chittagong stranded on 123 for 9. With the win, Khulna rose to second on the table.

That one run came off the first ball of the over courtesy Mohammad Nabi. Mahmudullah fired a wide one next ball, and Chaturanga de Silva nicked an attempted cut to the wicketkeeper. Abdur Razzak survived an lbw shout next ball, but fell immediately after when he heaved one to long off. All wasn't lost for Chittagong, however, as the batsmen had crossed, bringing the set Nabi, on 39 off 21 balls, back on strike. But he failed to connect a cut off the fifth ball to leave them needing five off the final delivery, which he holed out to midwicket. Mahmudullah ended with figures of 3 for 24 in three overs.

Before Mahmudullah, Shafiul Islam wrecked Chittagong. After Kevon Cooper sent back the Chittagong openers Tamim Iqbal and Dwayne Smith, Shafiul dismissed Shoaib Malik, Anamul Haque and Zakir Hasan in successive overs. That brought out Nabi, and he kept Chittagong's fight alive through partnerships of 24 with Jahurul Islam (25) for the sixth wicket and 45 with Chaturanga for the seventh. Cooper was also impressive, finishing with 2 for 17 in his quota of overs.

When Khulna batted, they were similarly in the middle of a wobble before being lifted by late contributions. When opener Riki Wessels fell, bowled by Razzak, he had made 28 out of the team's 42 for 3. That would soon become 77 for 5, before Nicholas Pooran (29) and Ariful Haque (25 not out) shared 48-run stand for the sixth wicket that took them past the 120-mark. Nabi was brilliant with the ball too, taking 3 for 22 in four overs. Taskin Ahmed took 2 for 17 in three overs and Razzak finished with 1 for 23 in four.

Rajshahi ride to triumph on Samit Patel's inside and out endeavors

BPL : 2016

A hearty all-round show from Samit Patel gave Rajshahi Kings their first win of BPL 2016-17, as they trounced Dhaka Dynamites by six wickets. The England allrounder took two wickets to keep Dhaka to an unassuming 138 preceding his whirlwind of limits facilitated the pursuit.

Patel was unbeaten on 44 off 25 balls, having shared a 73-run association for the fourth wicket with Sabbir Rahman, who was rejected for 31 after the scores were level. Mohammad Shahid rocked the bowling alley a wide to give Rajshahi the win with eleven balls to extra, typical of Dhaka's indiscipline with the ball - they surrendered 15 additional items in the match.

Rajshahi's pursuit started with Rony Talukdar winning the all-Narayanganj fight when he pounded Shahid for a straight six and fours through mid-off and fine-leg. In any case, Talukdar harmed his back while hitting the second limit and that cost Rajshahi two wickets - Mominul Haque was run out in the third over when he attempted to get Talukdar off strike, and after that Talukdar was puzzled for 14 in the wake of charging at Shakib Al Hasan. Talukdar's wicket was Shakib's 50th in the BPL.

Sabbir and Umar Akmal included 38 keeps running for the third wicket to quiet the nerves in the changing area and both grabbed general limits. Akmal fell in the tenth over for 27, yet Patel assumed control over the rod promptly.

He struck his six fours through and over cover and additional cover, past point and through fine-leg. Patel's exclusive six was an impact over long-on, which got Rajshahi inside 10 keeps running of the objective.

In Dhaka's innings, after they were placed into bat, Mehedi Maruf at the end of the day gave them a splendid begin in spite of the loss of Kumar Sangakkara in the second over. Maruf pummeled four limits and a cleared six off Mohammad Sami in his 22-ball 25 however fell into the seven-ball opening that brought about three Dhaka wickets. Samit Patel expelled Mahela Jayawardene, on his BPL make a big appearance, before evacuating Maruf two balls later. In the main chunk of the following over, Shakib was baffled off Mehedi Hasan and all of a sudden Dhaka were 43 for 4 in the eighth over.

With three of their most senior batsmen back in the hole, it was simple for Dhaka to back off yet Mosaddek Hossain's certainty implied that they recuperated rapidly.

Amid his 54-run fifth-wicket remain with Ravi Bopara, Mosaddek coordinated the ball well through the off side and discovered fours with pushes through point and cover. After Bopara succumbed to 20, Mosaddek cut Sami over point for his exclusive six and soon raised his first half-century in BPL, partaking in a 41-run unbroken remain for the 6th wicket with Darren Bravo.

Mehedi and Patel took two wickets each while Hasan, who blended his pace all around, grabbed one wicket. Sami was unfortunate as he had Bravo and Mosaddek dropped in his last over by the sweeper defender on either side of the wicket.

BPL : 2016

Barisal Bulls opened their record in this current season's BPL with a six-wicket win over Comilla Victorians, whose battle failed out amid a fourth-wicket remain of 49 between Mushfiqur Rahim amd Thisara Perera, which fixed the challenge. Comilla, the safeguarding champions, stay winless and would be concerned by a weak batting line-up, however knocking down some pins is by all accounts their quality.

Set 130 to win, Barisal opener Dilshan Munaweera struck two satisfying fours before getting got at mid-off in the fifth over yet Dawid Malan immediately reestablished the weight with two limits in the same over. Mashrafe Mortaza and Nabil Samad then knocked down some pins six overs to give away only 26 runs, expanding the required run rate from 6.87 to 8.55. It brought about Shamsur's worked 26-ball 16 winding up in the hands of long-on in the eleventh over.

Mushfiqur broke the limit dry spell with a trudge cleared six in the twelfth over, before Malan edged his third limit in the accompanying over from Sharif, however he was quickly gotten off the following ball at cover for 26. With Mashrafe completing his spell (0/21) with Barisal requiring 52 off the last six overs, Mushfiqur and Thisara Perera struck limits off Sharif and Tanvir. They wrested back control of the amusement when they struck one six each off Imad, who surrendered 17 keeps running in the seventeenth over.

Their fourth-wicket stand finished when Mushfiqur faintly edged Tanvir to the attendant, yet he got them nearer to the win with his 23-ball 33. Perera facilitated Barisal's nerves with two limits in the penultimate over, finishing the win with nine balls to save.

Comilla could have slipped advance from 73 for 6 in the fourteenth over, if not for the 38-run seventh-wicket association between Marlon Samuels and Sohail Tanvir.

Samuels - who came to bat after both openers fell inside 3.5 overs - was included in the run-outs of Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Imad Wasim, and saw Liton Das and Nahidul Islam fall quietly. So he needed to get Comilla out of inconvenience. He began off the seventh-wicket remain with two fours off Al-Amin Hossain and about overwhelmed Thisara Perera with a straight hit.

Tanvir got into the demonstration with a whack over midwicket for his initial six. Mahedi Hasan dropped him on 13 in the eighteenth more than, a sitter that wound up hitting him on the face, before hitting the floor. After Samuels withdrew for a run-a-ball 48, Tanvir struck two sixes over long-on in the last over, his unbeaten 30 off 19 balls giving Comilla the late runs that regularly have the effect yet this time finished in pointlessness.

Rain may ruin Australia's fightback against South Africa in second Test

Steve Smith's underfire side are restless not to commit choice errors in front of the significant Hobart amusement.

Captain Steve Smith said today he may play with only four bowlers as rain debilitates Australia's odds of bouncing back from their battering against South Africa in the second Test from Saturday. Overwhelming deluges are estimate through to Monday's third day in Hobart, which doesn't look good for Australia as they offer to recoup from their 177-run whipping in Perth — their fourth straight Test overcome.

Smith's underfire side are on edge not to commit choice errors in front of the urgent Hobart diversion, the second of three Tests, and the 27-year-old skipper has a few choices at the top of the priority list.

He affirmed that number five batsman Adam Voges was fit to play in the wake of hamstring inconvenience and demonstrated Australia may agree with six perceived batsmen, tossing into uncertainty the spots of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh and spinner Nathan Lyon.

"No choice yet (on the group), holding up until the morning, observing the wicket again and the gauge also," Smith told columnists at Bellerive.

"The estimate isn't extraordinary for the following couple of days so we'll hold up until the hurl."

Gotten some information about running in with only four bowlers, as rain deferrals ought to mean they will get a lot of rest, Smith said: "Not certain, that is up to the selectors and they'll choose tomorrow.

"We'll keep a watch out. Anything's conceivable, it'll hold up till the morning."

While that won't not look good for the odds of Marsh keeping his number six spot, after only one half-century in his last 28 Test innings, Smith stayed demure.

Lyon's share

"You should not have to have that additional knocking down some pins choice if there will be bunches of rain around and the bowlers will get some sufficient rest with that," he said.

"Possibilities we could run in with six honest to goodness batsmen yet we'll sit back and watch in the morning."

Australia were constrained into two changes from the Perth Test line-up with opener Shaun Marsh breaking a finger and paceman Peter Siddle enduring a back strain.

Joe Burns is relied upon to open the innings with David Warner, while Joe Mennie is probably going to make his Test make a big appearance. Tasmanian paceman Jackson Bird has been added to the squad.

Selectors likewise at first included Callum Ferguson as cover for Voges, so he could likewise be an alternative if Australia settle on an additional batsman.

Smith's captaincy has gone under overwhelming feedback amid Australia's losing keep running, with Test legend Shane Warne guaranteeing that off-spinner Lyon was under-played in Perth.

However, Smith protected his initiative.

"Warney's qualified for his assessment, yet I remain by the way I got things done," he said.

"We found in that (Perth) amusement that the invert swing was the greatest player in the diversion and it was the choice to be made whether the quicks would carry out the employment and take care of business the ball switching.

"I ran with that choice to bowl the quicks likely for a more drawn out period than I would have done conceivably at some other stage."

In any case, despite the fact that Lyon is Australia's wicket-bringing spinner with 213 casualties in 58 Tests since 2011, he could even now pass up a great opportunity in Hobart.

"I've never done it I figure in my spell as chief (not had a master spinner)," Smith said. "I'm not so much beyond any doubt that is the way we're considering."

Australia (from): David Warner, Joe Burns, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith (capt), Adam Voges, Callum Ferguson, Mitchell Marsh, Peter Nevill, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Joe Mennie, Nathan Lyon, Jackson Bird.

"Have you ever pondered what it resemble to meet your most exceedingly awful Twitter adversary face to face?" Trevor Noah solicited on Thursday night's scene from The Daily Show. He was alluding to the peculiar meeting at the White House prior in the day between President Barack Obama and President-Elect Donald Trump.

Noah ridiculed Trump for demanding he has awesome "regard" for Obama, notwithstanding his history of scrutinizing his citizenship, in addition to other things. "Yes, it turns out he's super decent," the host envisioned Trump saying. "Never judge a dark by his cover."

Something that made Noah "acknowledge how enormous this change will be" was the Martin Luther King Jr. bust behind Trump in the Oval Office. "That bust must think at this moment, 'I have a bad dream.'"

"I'm sad man, this is so strange for me," he included. They apparently discussed both residential and remote arrangement, driving Noah to think about whether Trump "requested that see local strategy's introduction to the world declaration to ensure it wasn't outside."

With respect to the meeting between First Lady Michelle Obama and her successor, Noah envisioned Melania Trump "simply copying her on the fly."

Blasts Into Space With ‘Infinite Warfare, a Wild Sci-Fi Ride ‘Call of Duty’

The first thing you do in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the latest in the ultra-popular first-person shooter franchise, is jump out of a plane in the middle of a cloudy sky. As far as these big, bombastic games go, this is pretty par for the course. But things change once you see the ground, because it’s not a war-torn city you’re jumping down into. It’s… ice? You land. A squadmate says, “Surface temp is 300 below.” You look up and see a giant red planet. And then you remember that Europa is the name of Jupiter’s moon. And then you pause, and you think, “This is Call of Duty?” The franchise sure has come a long way in its 13 years, from World War II to modern times to the near future…and now it’s gone to space.

This isn’t out of nowhere, of course. 2012’s Black Ops II was set in the near-future. And after a deviation with the thoroughly unexciting Ghosts, both Advanced Warfare and Black Ops III continued down Black Ops II’s path, setting themselves in the decades to come. The games became increasingly ridiculous, culminating in the absolutely bonkers Black Ops III, which we here described last year as a “really, really dark cartoon.” In that sense, Infinite Warfare feels a little more typical—it’s not cartoonish, it’s a blockbuster like most of its predecessors. Part of that difference comes from the strange way that Call of Duty games get made.

There are now three developers working on the franchise, each releasing games one after another, allowing for annual releases with multiple years of polish from teams that don’t have to be stretched so thin. But though they all share the same underlying technology and have similar content—single player, multiplayer, zombies—each developer brings their own spin and their own vision for the future. This is the first time that Infinity Ward, the original creators of the Call of Duty franchise, have really gone into the future, and that means going to space. Because, really, what is there left for the franchise on earth? Ghosts had a scene that took place on the International Space Station, but even that is at least a real place where people have actually been. At some point, playing through the destruction of either actual cities or approximations of them becomes numbing. So, we go somewhere different like, say, Europa, or our own moon—with our beautiful blue-and-green planet visible in a tense sequence as you frantically jump in zero-gravity trying to reach a base before you run out of oxygen.

If you opt for Infinite Warfare’s “Legacy Edition,” you’ll receive a code for Modern Warfare Remastered. It is exactly what it sounds like: the 2007 classic with all of the gloss of a modern shooter. And going from Infinite Warfare directly into Modern Warfare Remastered is kind of fascinating. It’s been nine years (wow) since Modern Warfare released, and re-experiencing it is really cool. It looks pretty much the way I remember it, which means that I’m definitely thinking back on the game with rose-tinted glasses, but that also means they did a great job with the visual update. And from all that comes this odd feeling that nothing has changed in nine years and also that everything has.

Modern Warfare was a very serious game, and that’s not a bad thing. Early on, you “play” as the president of an African country who is taken by terrorists. You spend the entire sequence unable to move, as you are dragged or driven through a country in turmoil. In the end, you are brought out in public, a gun is put to your face, and the trigger is pulled. A bang. A flash of light. Everything goes black. It set the tone for a different kind of first-person shooter, one that features a sequence through the monitor of an AC-130 gunship, wherein you rain down death onto black-and-white human shapes.

It’s the game where an atomic bomb goes off and you slowly crawl around your helicopter crash site until you succumb to your wounds.

These moments defined Modern Warfare’s campaign, and their effects have been felt in every subsequent iteration (and in so many of their competitors). And Infinite Warfare feels them, too.

That opening sequence on Europa ends with your death, at the hands of Jon Snow himself, Mr. Kit Harington. Like Advanced Warfare, the latest Call of Duty turned to a recognizable face for its antagonist. Harington’s Admiral Salen Kotch doesn’t play as big a role as Kevin Spacey’s Johnathan Irons, but he appears here and there to berate you and tell you about your inevitable failure and/or demise. Now, as then, it feels a little odd to see a not-quite-right digital incarnation of a familiar face, but it was less distracting here in large part because—finally—the game has lost its self-serious pretensions.

No game in the Call of Duty franchise ever really recaptured the effectiveness of Modern Warfare’s most intense moments. Instead, they’ve just cranked up the dial until it had become self-parody.

Unfortunately, the games still thought they were creating drama that would work on the same level.

Modern Warfare 2’s infamous “No Russian,” where you gun down an airport full of civilians;

Modern Warfare 3’s London bombing sequence, which starred a little girl dancing up to a truck as it explodes; and all of these other sequences tried to tug at your heart strings in a way that ultimately just felt manipulative and sort of disturbing.

There is some intense violence in Infinite Warfare, but barring one or two quick moments, it’s different. When Infinite Warfare tugs at your heartstrings, it’s doing so in the same way a Hollywood blockbuster does: by sending off characters the screenwriter assumes you care about in a blaze of glory. This isn’t a game that wants you to contemplate your actions or consider the horrors of war. It isn’t interested in making you think much at all. Sometimes, that’s a problem. Heck, it’s been a problem in past iterations of Call of Duty.

Here, though, it feels okay. In fact, it’s kind of nice, coming as it does after the problematically violent Black Ops III. It’s refreshing to have a game that just accepts its own silliness. And that’s the best thing to come out of the decision to go into space. By leaving our world, it is able to remove itself from the politics inherent in a typical war game, such as the recently released Battlefield 1, which brought the series all the way back to World War I. The last few Call of Duty games have had sci-fi technology in semi-familiar settings, while this one actually has comparatively down-to-earth tech yet jumps off-world for its narrative. The switch lets Infinite Warfare feel genuinely different.

Throughout the story, I kept coming back to that initial question: “This is Call of Duty?” When I was dogfighting in outer space or looking over a solar system map deciding whether or not to check out some side missions, I would forget what game (and what franchise) I was in. It may look and feel like Call of Duty on a superficial level, but there are moments where it’s closer to something like Destiny than it is to Modern Warfare.

Infinity Ward won’t be making next year’s Call of Duty installment, and so the franchise may well go back to its old ways, working to recapture Modern Warfare’s seriousness while somehow also topping itself in scope and scale. There haven’t been many hints from Sledgehammer Games, whose last title was Advanced Warfare, about what they’ll be doing. But wherever it goes from here, I’ll be thankful that we got this nice little sci-fi reprieve.
