The then Australia skipper Steve Smith and his deputy Warner were slapped with a one-year international ban while rookie Cameron Bancroft was suspended for nine months by Cricket Australia in March last year for their role in the ball-tampering scandal in South Africa. “What we’re focused on is doing everything we can to support Dave, Steve, Cameron and all the other players in support staff with this reintegration to build harmony rather than to disrupt the harmony that is building,” Roberts was quoted as saying at the Melbourne Press Club by the Sydney Morning Herald....

A Recap of the Wee Experiment Challenges In order to activate this new set of challenges, you must first introduce yourself to Horizon at the Firing Range. Interact with the big screen off to the right, and a short message will play. Shortly thereafter, you should see a message that says new challenges have been unlocked. At the lobby, you’ll see these introductory tasks if they haven’t already been completed:...

Casey Willis, who has been working on the comedy since 2009 and is a showrunner and executive producer, spoke with Newsweek about what fans can expect for Archer and co. in their 12th outing, explaining that the new season is “building on” what was established in season 11. What Happened at the End of Archer Season 11? The character, voiced by H. Jon Benjamin, has finally woken up following a three-season long coma, which was dramatically revealed at the end of season 10 and revisited in season 11....

Bryan (@atbryanreyes) posted a video of the interaction to his TikTok account over the weekend and wrote: “Shoutout to them youngins mane. Stay cool.” So far, the post has received more than 1.3 million views and over 370,000 likes. One particular line of questioning in the video regarding Bryan’s age also sparked a discussion about adulthood and whether or not 18-year-olds truly are “grown-ups.” “So I was practicing pop shuvs and got an audience,” read the video’s text overlay as Bryan landed a popular skating trick known as a “pop shuvit....

The Gunners were always up against it in a meeting with the German giants, having suffered a 5-1 defeat in the first leg of their last-16 encounter. Horrow show spells the end for Wenger To fall to the same scoreline on home soil, though, was difficult to stomach, with dark clouds having descended on Emirates Stadium. Supporters staged a protest against Arsene Wenger prior to kick-off, and their mood was barely lifted from that point....

[Update: Join or Die and Freedom Editions of AC3 have been confirmed and detailed for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Check them out here!] Seeing as though Assassin’s Creeds II through Revelations have all been graced with at-launch collector’s editions, the odds of the newly announced Assassin’s Creed III offering the same lavish supplement were pretty good. However obvious, though, that doesn’t mean we weren’t looking forward to surveying its wears....

With Assassin’s Creed 3 being hailed as one of the biggest third-party titles for the Nintendo Wii U, we were more than a little curious to see what the developers at Ubisoft have in mind for the new console’s gamepad. The Wii U’s unique yet simple features were seen in the brand new demo of Boston Harbor, and were far more promising than we had expected. Those who have been keeping up to date on AC3 news - on both console and Vita - are likely already familiar with the Frontier gameplay shown in Ubisoft’s conference and the newly confirmed naval warfare....

Reds 12/5 to beat Southampton -2 handicap The Brazil international was the subject of a transfer battle between the Reds and the Catalan giants in August, putting in a transfer request to try to force a move to Camp Nou. However, Liverpool bosses had no intention of selling one of their star players and were unwilling to let the 25-year-old leave. Barcelona are reportedly ready to return for the attacker, but Coutinho has insisted that he is happy with Liverpool and at the moment, has no desire to leave the club....

According to the station, 40-year-old Molly Healy and 48-year-old Matthew Gnoza were married on March 12. The couple originally planned to be wed at the mountain’s summit. However, in light of the day’s unexpected “high winds and blizzard-like conditions,” the couple decided to say “I do” at a lower elevation. “We found a closed trail that filled up nicely with snow through that day and gave us just enough protection tucked into the trees,” Healy told Newsweek....

According to a post shared by the woman (under the username Hygge88) on the online forum, where it received over 100 comments, her husband “plays lots of video games or looks at his phone” but can be “v v [very very] affectionate” with their two sons, who are 4 and 18 months. However, the “moment it starts to go wrong,” her husband “disengages” and it can result in shouting....

As contestants from Bachelor and Bachelorette seasons past prepare to come together for another chance at love on August 5, word of rumored couples has already begun circulating. Consider yourself warned: Spoilers for Bachelor in Paradise and The Bachelorette ahead! Arguably one of the most anticipated pairings, even prior to BIP Season 6’s casting announcement, was Blake Horstmann (Becca Kufrin’s runner-up) and Hannah Godwin (Colton Underwood’s Top 3) but, unfortunately, it looks like their love didn’t take off....

After a cringy Georgia-based hometown date, where his family thanked Hannah B “for putting up with him,” the Bachelorette made history by keeping Luke as well as all four remaining men. For a full recap of last week’s episode, click here. Now, it is time for the fantasy suites. While it is usually implied that the Bachelor or Bachelorette gets intimate with their remaining contestants, fans this season have already learned that Hannah did–twice....

United have been among the lowest spenders in the Premier League this summer, with Donny van de Beek’s £35 million ($45m) move to Old Trafford from Ajax the only piece of business the club have been able to get over the line to date. Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho has long been mooted as the Red Devils’ primary transfer target, but Goal has reported that they have yet to submit a formal bid for the winger , with the German outfit thought to be holding out for a €120m (£108m/$142m) fee....

RIVERA: Astros show that old-fashioned pitching still plays A lot of people think the Astros steal signs from their opponents. This is not new. The Yankees, their ALCS opponent, are the latest to make the accusation. Well, good for the Astros. If an opponent has signs that are easy to steal, regardless of how they’re stolen, that to me is the same as a pitcher tipping his pitches, or hanging a curveball, or a fielder making an error that helps start a rally....

Nikkie’s fans were pleasantly surprised at the sudden cameo, where Nikkie featured as herself from her YouTube channel. All we know about NikkieTutorials cameo Nikkie showed up during a scene involving Kat, played by Barbara Ferreira. In the show, Kat is a plus-sized teen suffering from self-esteem issues. In this particular scene, Kat is seen sulking in her bed, watching a NikkieTutorials video. The video plays on her laptop and Nikkie is heard saying while doing her makeup:...

I’m not quite sure how to rank them, but I went back to 2000 on the indispensible Baseball-Reference Play Index and looked for unfamiliar names among opening day starting pitchers, sorted by ascending Game Score, the Bill James stat that evaluates a starter’s performance. Not all of the pitchers who got lit up are awful, and not all of the awful pitchers got lit up, but here are 10 lousy batteries and their Game Scores from those openers, to set as a “target” for this year’s potential Diamondbacks duo of Josh Collmenter and Tuffy Gosewisch…...

The next game in the series is Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the protagonist of which is a swaggering young pirate named Edward Kenway who roams the waters of the West Indies in the eighteenth century searching for booty to be plundered. This will be the first game in the series without a modern protagonist, since Desmond Miles’ story was brought to a close at the end of Assassin’s Creed III, and the player will instead take on the role of an unnamed Abstergo Industries researcher digging through genetic material, presumably to unlock the location of another Piece of Eden....

Not only does the Anthology feature all previously released AC titles, including this year’s Assassin’s Creed 3, it also packs in each game’s associated DLC. That’s basically three major historical time periods packed into a single game (or collection of discs)! Ubisoft has confirmed the news about the Anthology to Eurogamer, but unfortunately essential details are slim. We know that all three major numbered Assassin’s Creed titles and the two Ezio spin-offs’ DLC will be part of the collection, as well as Assassin’s Creed 3’s forthcoming DLC....

It has been confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Unity will run at a locked resolution of 900p and frame rate of 30fps for both the Xbox One and PS4 when it launches later this year. With so many games clocking in with slightly differences in specs, this news is sure to be a breath of fresh air for gamers worried that one console will be getting special treatment over the other....

This week, for example, Ubisoft unveiled their minimum and recommended PC requirements for Assassin’s Creed Unity, and let’s just say this game is no slouch. In fact, we’d reckon that gamers who haven’t recently invested in a new video card will be wholly out of luck when it comes to playing this game. At a glance, the Assassin’s Creed Unity PC specs look fairly rudimentary – Intel i5 or better, 6GB RAM, 64-bit OS – but that’s until you get to the video card section....
