It’s the time for amateur selection committees Ito convene around every barbecue in the land. The moment for dusting off the Baggy Green, white kit and red Kookaburra. Test match cricket is back. This summer promises to be a special one, as Australia host South Africa and then Sri Lanka in back-to-back three-match Vodafone Test series. It’s a final home dress rehearsal before the Ashes in 2013, but it’s too early for Australia to think about England just yet. They’ve got the world’s top Test side and some wily subcontinental opposition to worry about first. Australia have had a quiet Test schedule following their memorable 4-0 demolition of India last summer. Their only assignment since then came against the West Indies in the Caribbean, where they overcame a resilient home side 2-0. Michael Clarke’s inspired first- innings declaration when 46 runs behind in the rain-affected Barbados opener set up a memorable win for his team, who went on to take another hard-fought victory in the third Test at Roseau.

The PNF informed lawyers of this decision on May 7 in a classification notice. An investigation for “criminal association” with a view to the commission of an offense of sports corruption and with a view to the commission of an offense of fraud in an organized gang was opened after the match. According to The team, which had revealed this investigation, the European football authorities (UEFA) had been alerted before the meeting of October 3, 2018 that a leader of the Red Star was preparing to invest nearly five million euros on a defeat of his team by five goals. However on October 3, 2018, the PSG had beaten the Serbs 6 to 1. “Since the start of the investigation, the Red Star has expressed its wish to collaborate in this investigation and to identify the source of this malicious and anonymous denunciation.“, Me Antoine Vey, lawyer for the Serbian club, told AFP.”It is therefore a satisfaction to note that nothing has made it possible to confirm this false allegation.“ “There remains the question of the damage caused to the club on which we will see if we take legal action or not.“, he added.

    Dec 10, 2015 02:00 UTC Toyo Tires and AC Milan release second video collaboration AC Milan players chase down pair of bank robbers in spectacular fashion Japanese tire maker Toyo Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd. has teamed up again with world-famous Italian Serie A club AC Milan to create a second collaborative video. Titled ‘Chase in Milan by TOYO TIRES’, the video is due to be released globally on Thursday, December 10, 2015. https://youtu.be/u3irMAZLe_4 With an aim towards global branding, Toyo Tires is developing a variety of collaborative campaigns with AC Milan as part of the tire manufacturer’s sponsorship agreement. Continuing on from last year’s joint effort, this year’s video collaboration has again been developed for YouTube and boasts appearances from star players of AC Milan, including Keisuke Honda, Ignazio Abate, Riccardo Montolivoand Mattia De Sciglio. Set in the streets of Milan, Italy, the video sees a pair of bank robbers come into the path of the AC Milan stars, who quickly take it upon themselves to chase down the runaway bandits. This comes through a good bit of teamwork with Toyo Tires’ ‘Race Queen’, who is in complete control of an Audi R8 that is fully outfitted with Toyo Tires’ high-performance PROXES T1 Sport tires. In addition to all of the nifty teamwork involved, the story is chock full of gorgeous performances in its build-up to the two assailing thieves’ arrest. Even the abilities of those from yesteryear become part of the action as legendary former free-kick specialist, and current AC Milan manager, Siniša Mihajlović, winds back the clock.
