This song was released in the year 1976. It was originally sung by J.J Cale, the famous blues artist, but eventually Eric Clapton also sang it. It’s a really peaceful song, full of smiles and cheer.

Be it if conditions are supportive or not; if a bowler is getting a decent amount of swing, he can trouble the batsmen. But there are different kinds of balls used in international cricket. For instance, Kookaburra balls are used in all limited-overs cricket. When it comes to Test cricket, countries like England, Ireland and West Indies use Dukes balls, while India uses SG. In the past, many seamers have dropped their opinions regarding the best suitable balls in the red-ball format. Some have picked Dukes while some have gone for Kookaburra. Following the trend, India’s frontline speedster Jasprit Bumrah has also given his thoughts regarding which cricket ball brings him in the comfort position. Bumrah said he feels most comfortable bowling with the Dukes ball manufactured in England compared to India made SG. During a chat for ICC podcast featuring internationals Ian Bishop and Shaun Pollock, Bumrah spoke on a lot of issues, including how he developed an outswinger (inswinger for left-handers). 5 DHRUV TIMES 02.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Cologne 2-4 RB Leipzig: Timo Werner on target as visitors move back up to third Timo Werner was on target as RB Leipzig reclaimed third in the Bundesliga with an entertaining 4-2 win over Cologne at the RheinEnergieStadion on Monday night. In the first German top-flight game to be played in the month of June for 25 years, Jhon Cordoba notched his 12th league goal of the season to give Cologne the perfect start (7), but the Colombian was off receiving treatment when Patrik Schick rose to head Leipzig level (20). Cordoba did not recover, and Julian Nagelsmann's side completed the turnaround seven minutes before the break as Christopher Nkunku collected Konrad Laimer's pass. In a breathless start to the second period, Werner fired home his 25th Bundesliga goal of the season (50) before substitute Anthony Modeste reduced the arrears (55) only for Dani Olmo to immediately restore Leipzig's two-goal cushion (57) which they never relinquished. 6 DHRUV TIMES 02.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Lionel Messi's Barcelona exit clause, that could have led to him leaving for free, expires Lionel Messi's Barcelona exit clause, which could have seen him leave the Nou Camp for free this summer, has expired. The clause - part of the four-year deal that the Argentina star signed in 2017 - expired on Saturday May 30, and would have allowed him to leave for another club for no transfer fee if he had wished. However, he has been intent on staying at the club at least until the end of his contract next summer, despite a tumultuous season that has involved rows with members of the club's hierarchy. Barca's board have always maintained their belief the 32- year-old would not only stay past his current deal but also, according to president Josep Maria Bartomeu, for at least another five years. 7 DHRUV TIMES 02.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Memes 8 DHRUV TIMES 02.06.20 ALL INDIA EDITION Joke Time What do you call two monkeys sharing an Amazon account?

  • Dechambeau Muscles His Way to Three-Shot Victory in Detroit Marks His Fourth Straight PGA Tour Season with a Triumph
    14 Sports Tuesday, July 7, 2020 Photo of the Day Ganguly credits fitness for India’s fast bowling rise NEW DELHI: India’s cricket chief Sourav Ganguly says improved fitness standards and a change in culture have led to the country developing one of the world’s best pace attacks. Spearheads Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah are part of a battery of five formidable quick bowlers that have helped change India’s traditional re- liance on spin bowling. “You know culture has changed in India that we can be good fast bowlers,” Ganguly said in a chat hosted on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Twitter feed. “Fitness regimes, fitness standards not only just among fast bowlers but also among the batters, that has changed enormously. “That has made everyone understand and believe that we are fit, we are strong and we can also bowl fast like the others did.” The West Indies dominated world cricket in the 1970s and 1980s led by a fearsome pace attack that included all-time greats such as Michael Holding, Andy Roberts, Malcolm Marshall and Joel Gar- ner. Recently Indian quicks have risen to the top in world cricket with Shami, Bumrah, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in a deadly arsenal. “The West Indies in my generation were naturally strong,” the former India captain said. “We Indians were never such naturally strong... but we worked hard to get strong. But I think it is the change in culture as well that is very important.” Shami last month claimed that the current Indian pace attack may be the best in Test history.
