Sybille Bedford, a German-born writer who has long lived in England, is not one of the twentieth century's best writers, but she is one of its most attractive literary curiosities. Born before World War I, she witnessed much of the tragedy, and enjoyed much of the beauty, that her volatile age had to offer. Bedford spent her childhood and youth in her father's decrepit schloss in Baden, in the stuffy and well-upholstered Berlin residence of other relatives, in Fascist Italy, in high bohemia on the Côte d'Azur in the 1920s, and in England. It was a rich and strange life, and in each of her four largely autobiographical novels she rendered its off-color luster and subtle moral gradations with humor and a remarkable tolerance that in no way implies an absence of judgment. The twentieth century displayed the human circus at its most grotesque, and Bedford had a ringside seat throughout the performance. Bedford is not only a novelist but also the author of books on legal issues and … [Read more...] about An Observer of Catastrophe

A famous 13-foot-long great white shark has been tracked near Bodie Island, just off the coast of Albemarle Sound near the North Carolina/Virginia border. Breton, the 1,400-pound great white, can be seen moving northward along the East Coast via research nonprofit Ocearch's tracking platform. As of Tuesday, Breton was moving into waters about 40 miles off Virginia, previously pinging off North Carolina's Pamlico Sound on August 6 and deeper waters off the South Carolina coast on August 2. On June 6, he was tracked as far south as Port St. Lucie in Florida . Breton was tagged by Ocearch off Nova Scotia in 2020 and was named after the area where he was captured: Cape Breton. Since 2020, Ocearch has tracked Breton's movements up and down the East Coast, showing his migrations with the seasons. Breton recently gained notoriety for somehow drawing a picture with his tracking path that resembles a shark. Great whites, which can grow up to around 20 feet long, are found all … [Read more...] about Large great white shark Breton tracked about 40 miles from Bodie Island

Former skipper Virat Kohli and a fit-again K. L. Rahul on Monday returned to a 15-member Indian squad for the Asia Cup while senior pacer Jasprit Bumrah missed out owing to a back injury. The Asia Cup will be held in Dubai and Sharjah from August 27 to September 11. Also Read Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of Asia Cup with back injury Rahul, who did not feature in the T20 series against the West Indies due to COVID-19, has recuperated from his sports hernia surgery, and is back as vice-captain. Shreyas, Axar dropped from main squad The notable names dropped from the main squad are batter Shreyas Iyer and left-arm spinner Axar Patel. Seamer Deepak Chahar, who has had a four-month lay-off due to a hamstring tear and a back injury was also among reserves.

Shreyas Iyer roared back to form with a stroke-filled 64 while the spinners picked up all the 10 wickets as India recorded yet another one-sided 88-run victory over West Indies to wrap up the five-match T20 International series by a comprehensive 4-1 margin here. It was Iyer's half-century and useful contributions from Deepak Hooda (38 off 25 balls) and stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya's (28 off 16 balls) cameo that propelled India to 188 for 7 in 20 overs after being put in to bat. Spinners take all 10 wickets Then, Pandya handed the new ball to Axar Patel (3-1-15-3), who quickly removed makeshift opener Jason Holder (0), Shamarah Brooks (13) and Devon Thomas (10) with three arm balls on a track where balls stopped and gripped off the surface. West Indies were all out for 100 runs inside 16 overs as one of the most lopsided T20I bilateral series came to an end even though India won't be complaining having ticked most of the boxes. Once Kuldeep Yadav (4-1-12-3) caught rival … [Read more...] about WI vs Ind 5th T20I | Iyer, spinners ensure 88-run win as India completes 4-1 series rout

Wayne Parnell’s maiden five-wicket Twenty20 international haul led South Africa to a convincing 44-run victory over Ireland at Bristol on Friday as the Proteas completed a 2-0 series win. The 33-year-old left-arm quick took 5-30 as Ireland, chasing 183 to win, were dismissed for 138 in what was their eighth successive defeat at this level ahead of a T20 World Cup where South Africa will be one of the leading contenders on this form. “It was just about keeping things simple, doing the basics,” said Parnell at the presentation ceremony. Ireland have run India and New Zealand close this season and they only lost Wednesday’s series opener against the Proteas, who’ve now won four of their last five T20s following a 2-1 success against England, by 21 runs. But Ireland captain Andy Balbirnie accepted his side had been well-beaten on this occasion. “We didn’t show up with the bat,” he said. “It gets very hard when you lose so many wickets.” Parnell put a dent in Ireland’s chase … [Read more...] about Wayne Parnell stars in South Africa’s T20 series win over Ireland

Sikandar Raza and Innocent Kaia struck centuries as Zimbabwe recovered from a disastrous start to stun Bangladesh by five wickets on Friday in the first match of a three one-day international series. The home team lost openers Regis Chakabva and Tarisai Musakanda with just six runs on the scoreboard as they chased a formidable Bangladesh total of 303-2 that included four half centuries. A third Zimbabwe wicket fell after they lifted the score to 62 and then Raza and Kaia came together to put on 192 runs for the fourth wicket and set up a brilliant victory as Zimbabwe reached 307-5 with 10 balls to spare. Raza was unbeaten on 135, including six sixes and eight fours, while Kaia struck two sixes and 11 fours in his 110 before being caught by Shoriful Islam at short fine leg. Bangladesh, seventh in the ODI rankings and eight places above Zimbabwe, took advantage of being put in to bat by building what appeared to be a winning score. Opener Liton Das led the way with an unbeaten … [Read more...] about Raza, Kaia slam centuries as Zimbabwe stun Bangladesh

If ever there was a spectators’ delight and a batsmen’s nightmare, it was Abdul Qadir. It is said that spinners, unlike the fast men, are calm, yet fierce, and very sure of what they want to do with the ball. Only, Qadir was different. At times, like B.S. Chandrasekhar, he appeared clueless how the ball would behave once it left his hand. Honest to the core, he would admit it so sportingly. Qadir was a lovable leg-spinner. His approach, bounding in his tracks, threatening to break into a dance, angular approach, a little jig, and the ball would move in the direction of the batsman, in a loop, in a charming loop, luring his prey to doom. A wicket would be celebrated with a little hop and he would want to feel the ball urgently, as if wanting to caress it and implore it to repeat the act. He could spin the ball in, and then out. The batsman was perpetually in a trance. When he would be convinced the ball would spin away, it would curl in viciously, bemusing the batsman, and the … [Read more...] about Abdul Qadir: Spectators’ delight and a batsman’s nightmare
