Acting as the show's "expert," Beadle asked Baxter to select which team would be crowned the eventual champions. Unsurpringly, Baxter selected his fellow canines, the Huskies, to win it all.

Dortmund are unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season and hold a four-point lead at the top heading into the blockbuster clash at Signal Iduna Park. Hoeness said Bayern would go into the encounter as outsiders after Dortmund’s impressive start to the campaign. “You can’t go to Dortmund and say that you want to secure three points.

Lynn, who has grabbed everyone’s attention since the moment he took to the field for the first time in Australia, put up another superlative performance with his 24-ball 56, a knock that contained as many as 7 sixes- out of which 5 were consecutive- and just a solitary boundary.

Something similar happened in the year 2009 when the entire tournament had to be shifted out to South Africa. No, it wasn’t only 2009 but even in 2014, the initial phase of the tournament was shifted to the United Arab Emirates. Luckily the brand equity of the IPL wasn’t hit hard but the franchises seemed to be very upset with the move. There is a serious chance that the IPL 2019 might be shifted elsewhere owing to the general elections scheduled once again and the BCCI seems to be quite concerned as the date of the elections are still not out....
After a scandal-hit IPL, which brought terms like “spot-fixing”, “conflict of interest”, “step aside”, “betting” et al to the limelight, BCCI has finally woken up from its slumber. The Board, which currently is more involved in internal politics and self-preservation than the functioning of the game, has come up with a 12-point “Operation Clean-up” to clear IPL’s image. And maybe hope to get the game’s credibility also back up....
