IND vs ENG: England Cricket’s Leadership Power Lies With Eoin Morgan Not Joe Root, So he Gets What he Wants, Says Michael Vaughan
Former captain Michael Vaughan argued that England Test skipper Joe Root should also get to pick his best players irrespective of ECB’s rotation policy, just like limited-overs leader Eoin Morgan ‘gets what he wants’. Vaughan mentioned in his column in Telegraph that England fielded a weakened team in the four Tests against India with the likes of Jos Buttler and Moeen Ali returning home in the middle of the series only to be back for the limited-overs leg of the tour. “It is very clear where the leadership power lies in English cricket – it is with Eoin Morgan and not Joe Root. “I am pretty sure that Morgan went to the selectors and Ashley Giles and said he wanted his best team at all times this year in Twenty20, so he could build for the World Cup in India in October. He has his wish,” the Ashes-winning skipper wrote. India won the series 3-1 to qualify for the World Test Championship final. “I understand rotation. Nobody argues against the fact players need breaks from Covid … [Read more...] about IND vs ENG: England Cricket’s Leadership Power Lies With Eoin Morgan Not Joe Root, So he Gets What he Wants, Says Michael Vaughan
Germany’s Bosch to open automotive chip factory in June
Bosch said on Monday it would open an automotive chip factory in Dresden in June to build on its leadership in sensor chips that will boost the electric car industry. The 1 billion euro ($1.2 billion) plant will produce sensor chips to be installed in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. The chips help increase the range of electric vehicles. Bosch began testing the fully automated production of prototype chips, a step towards starting full-scale production at the end of the year, it said. The plant will not produce the kind of semiconductor chips now in short supply, causing disruptions to the global car industry. The factory, partly financed by the Free State of Saxony and federal government in Berlin, will employ 700 people. Plans for the plant were announced in 2017. The local and federal governments want to make Dresden a centre for semiconductor research and manufacturing. … [Read more...] about Germany’s Bosch to open automotive chip factory in June
Billy Joe Saunders to fight Canelo Alvarez after Mexican KOs Avni Yilidirm
Brit-basher Canelo Alvarez will bid to make Billy Joe Saunders his seventh victim from these shores on May 8. The Mexican announced he will take on his fellow super-middleweight world champion following his third-round stoppage of Avni Yildirim last night. And he will expect Saunders to suffer the same fate as Ryan Rhodes, Matthew Hatton, Liam Smith, Amir Khan, Rocky Fielding and Callum Smith. Alvarez was making a quick return to the ring following his points win over Smith in December. But he was barely made to sweat by mandatory challenger Yildirim who retired on his stool having been knocked down in the third round. "It's great to be active," said Canelo, who was due to fight Saunders last May before the pandemic hit. "I needed the knockout and that's what I did. "It doesn't matter if they're taller and they have a greater reach, I come here to win. I feel strong, I feel fast and I feel comfortable. "I'll fight anyone, I'll fight the best at 168lb. We want to unify … [Read more...] about Billy Joe Saunders to fight Canelo Alvarez after Mexican KOs Avni Yilidirm
Donald Trump Jr. Says Chinese ‘Investment in Hunter Biden’ Will Affect Joe Biden’s China Policies
In a Monday night interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity , former President Donald Trump 's son, Donald Trump Jr., said that Chinese "investment in Hunter Biden " will affect President Joe Biden 's policies towards China. "China, tells us what we're going to be doing," Trump Jr. said. "You know, that billion dollars to Hunter, that didn't come for free. That was a great return on investment for the Chinese because they know they can get away with it, and our political class will say nothing because they've been on the take in the same way for decades." In the months before the November presidential election, Trump and his campaign surrogates repeatedly alleged that Hunter Biden had used his father's previous role as Obama's Vice President to assist his business deals in China and Ukraine . However, the allegations failed to sway voters and were disavowed as untrue by both Hunter Biden's attorney and Biden's campaign spokesperson. A mid-September 2020 Senate … [Read more...] about Donald Trump Jr. Says Chinese ‘Investment in Hunter Biden’ Will Affect Joe Biden’s China Policies
