Raising the prices of commodities under the pretext of diesel subsidy cut is unjustifiable,” Al- Mudej said Thursday, noting that diesel subsidy cut will not apply on local factories. In a quick reaction to the government’s deci- sion to increase diesel prices by the beginning of 2015, many local construction companies immediately informed their clients that they have increased the prices of their materials even without notifying the ministry of commerce and industry. Some local ready-mix companies increased prices by KD 3.5/KD4.5 per cubic meter of con- crete blaming the increase on cut in diesel sub- sidy.

Trained by David Simock, the five year-old was third in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot this year. It was far easier for him this time and he ran out an easy winner, registering his first Black Type success. Cheveley Park Stud’s Zonderland came second ahead of Qatar Racing’s Arod. “That’s a massively relief, honestly,” said Simcock. “We’ve always thought the world of him and he was brilliantly nurtured by Olly Stevens. We’ve just picked up the pieces. We were so pleased with his first start in the Queen Anne and watching his last two races, you wouldn’t believe it and you feel sorry for the horse as he’s very, very good. I’m not one to hype horses and I think he’s really talented. -

Lancashire CCC Vs Sussex CCC Specsavers County Championship, Division Two Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Saturday 13Th – Monday 15Th July 2019
Lancashire CCC vs Sussex CCC Specsavers County Championship, Division Two Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester Saturday 13th – Monday 15th July 2019 Day One Lancashire ended day one of their Division Two match against Sussex in a strong position after bowling their visitors out for 127 and then making 149 for one in reply. Matthew Parkinson collected a career-best six for 23 from 15.2 overs and Glenn Maxwell picked up four for 41 on the weekend when he hoped to be playing in a World Cup final. Alex Davies then made 72 before becoming the only Lancashire wicket to fall and Keaton Jennings was unbeaten on 53 at the close, by which time Lancashire were already well on the way to building a winning position. But this total dominance was in sharp contrast to the first 80 minutes of play, in which Phil Salt and Varun Chopra had put on 77 runs in 19 overs before Sussex lost five wickets for 11 runs in a dramatic collapse on a used pitch. Any discomfort Salt and Chopra encountered against Lancashire’s seamers had to be balanced against some fluent strokeplay and Sussex had seemed poised to make very good use of winning the toss when Salt, on 40, swept Maxwell to Josh Bohannon at deep square leg. Chopra was lbw to leg-spinner Parkinson for 32 and one of Sussex’s struggles begun. Maxwell then took a good caught and bowled off Luke Wells, who made five, the same score Stiaan van Zyl had managed when he edged Parkinson to Rob Jones at first slip. -
