BENGALURU, India (AP) — Pakistan dropped out of form vice captain Shadab Khan as captain Babar Azam won the toss and elected to field against Australia in the fourth game for both teams at the Cricket World Cup on Friday.Shadab has been struggling to get wickets from his legspin bowling this year and was also unimpressive with the bat in Pakistan’s long middle-order batting line-up.Legspinner Usama Mir replaced Shadab in the only change Pakistan made from the team which was routed by archrival India in what supposed to be the marquee game of the World Cup.Babar played down the axing of allrounder Shadab before the midway point of the tournament, saying he wanted to try out different combinations.Pakistan, winner of the World Cup in 1992, started off its campaign with two victories over qualifiers – the Netherlands and Sri Lanka – before succumbing against India in front of a partisan crowd of over 100,000 in Ahmedabad.Injuries and illness has struck Pakistan since it arrived in Beng...

As Terrell Suggs prepares to enter Ravens Ring of Honor, teammates recall a ‘super raw’ rookie who was always the ‘life of the locker room’

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:53:21 GMT

As much as the sacks and the laurels, Terrell Suggs remembers the frustration, the times when he felt less self-assured than he seemed on the surface, the older co-workers who lent helping hands.From the long view, Suggs’ career was seamless: No. 10 pick after he set a single-season NCAA sack record at Arizona State, NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year at age 21, NFL Defensive Player of the Year at 29, Super Bowl champion at 30, Ravens institution by the time he played his 16th and final season in Baltimore.At halftime of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions, Suggs will become the 12th Ravens player inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor.Put his first year as a Raven under the microscope, however, and the story is both messier and more interesting.“Yeah, you’re gonna get frustrated,” he said of his NFL beginning. “In college, you’re used to knowing everything you’re supposed to do, but when you get up there, you’re not top ...

Week 7 high school football preview: St. John’s Prep-Catholic Memorial battle figures to be a dandy

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:53:21 GMT

Something will give on Saturday when the team with the state’s longest winning streak squares off against a team which hasn’t lost against in-state competition since 2019.Defending Div. 1 state champion St. John’s Prep (6-0) has won 13 straight game since a 28-17 loss last Oct. 15 to the team it will host this weekend, Catholic Memorial (4-1). The last Massachusetts team to knock off the Knights were the Eagles (21-14) in the 2019 Div. 1 state championship game.There may be no love lost between the programs, but the level of respect they have for one another is off the chart. St. John’s Prep coach Brian St. Pierre and his Catholic Memorial counterpart, John DiBiaso, know this is going to be a gridiron battle.“They’re so talented on both sides of the ball as well as special teams,” St. Pierre said. “They’re tremendous up front and so well coached.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:53:21 GMT

Justin Tucker had made field goals to win the AFC championship game and give the Ravens a cushion in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl. He was the most accurate kicker in NFL history, already talked about as the rare specialist worthy of selection to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.He didn’t need a signature moment, but he had a chance to create one as he lined up to kick a 66-yard field goal at Detroit’s Ford Field on the afternoon of Sept. 26, 2021.The Ravens will play the Lions again Sunday. The last time they did, Tucker put his stamp on football history.His field goal set a record and handed the Ravens a victory. More than that, it gave the New York Times Magazine and “60 Minutes” a hook as they lined up to profile Tucker, proclaiming him the greatest ever at his unusual trade.“Look, I’d be lying to you if I said I didn’t put a lot of value on that particular kick,” Tucker said Thursday. “It was a special moment for all of ...
