Polymarket is taking bets on whether the seven Cornell students accused of raping a student will receive a felony sex crime charge.
Among the athletes endorsing Polymarket:
LeBron James, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, Sue Bird, Reggie Bush and Richard Sherman.
Polymarket and its athlete endorsers are under fire for a market on whether any of the seven male defendants accused of raping a Cornell student will get a felony sex crime charge.
There was $451K in volume, with traders placing a 28% chance on the market resolving to “yes."

I don't understand this weird tweet.
Every great Indian batter (you can start with Merchant or even Nayudu or even go further back) was dismissed in domestic cricket by bowlers who never played for India. Since Ranji began in the 1930s, of them were "Ranji level" bowlers.
Not a bad time to revisit this piece y'all!
This was a fun piece to work on with @ajarrodkimber. Latest addition to my list of players who I begin rooting for after working on a feature on them :)

One thing about Rohit u have to accept is he has evolved greatly as a batter post Covid. He has had too many knocks where the wkt and conditions were challenging. Chepauk 100, Ahmedabad 50, Lords 80, Oval & Nagpur 100s. Then the 80 odd at Lucknow in WC, or how he took on Henry in Dharmashala under haze, t20 wc semi 50, Yesterday when the ball was nipping around a lot, or the way he changed his game in PP since the Australia series before 2023 WC, then the Sri Lanka Odi series post t20 wc. Too many games to suggest he has constantly adjusted to the conditions and he'll be turning 40 next summer so really worth appreciating that he is still motivated.

I’m not concerned about Kohli’s recent approach backfiring in the World Cup. He’s not dumb enough to keep going at the same tempo when the situation or conditions demand a change.
Shayan Khan retweeted
All these technique merchants would have called this dismissal due to "slow reflex" if Kohli was out of form.
Runs is currency. Nothing else.

Never thought a match of the #IraniCup’s magnitude would be played in my city and I wouldn’t be allowed to attend. Before you ask why I didn’t simply go as a spectator: they sent bouncers to push me out of the stands last year. Guess doing journalism in its truest sense comes at a cost. Nevertheless, wishing J&K all the best.

It’s unfortunate that many people see Gill as just a flat track bully. Yes, he hasn’t had many memorable away performances, but that'll change with time. Calling him a flat track bully, though, is simplistic. His maiden 200, for instance, came on a far from straightforward track.
