  • New Zealand Vs India 2020
    Published 28.1.20 Dream start to multi-format tour for India; younger players take centre-stage Two convincing wins achieved on the same pitch that behaved completely differently in the two matches in Eden Park have given India a vice-like grip over New Zealand in the Twenty20 International series. This dream start to the multi-format tour is indicative of the mindset and fighting spirit of this Indian team. I was impressed by what Virat said leading into the series – that despite a hard-fought three-match ODI series against Australia, the long flight to Auckland, the short turnaround time and entirely different conditions, his side wasn’t going to be looking for excuses, that they would be switched on from ball one of the first T20I. That speaks to the attitude of the unit as a whole, and it manifested itself in the brand of cricket they played over the weekend. The first game called for a furious assault on a target of 204, the second needed a more pragmatic approach after New Zealand were restricted to 132. India were clinical in both encounters, the same set of batsmen delivering the goods. It wasn’t the usual match-winners who came up trumps. Instead, and heart-warmingly with the larger picture in mind, KL Rahul and ShreyasIyer reinforced their coming of age at this level, taking up the responsibility of piloting the side home. Rahul’s talent has never been in doubt since he broke through towards the end of 2014. He seemed to have lost his way a- bit but in the last few months, since being dropped from the Test team, he has gone back and - had a hard look at himself, and has returned stronger, more organised and in control of his plans.

The national Movement For Black Lives has given the UW community an invitation to uphold our values of justice, equity, and anti-racism, and immediately divest from the Seattle Police Department (SPD) to protect our Black community members. In 2011, The US Department of Justice investigated SPD and found a pattern of excessive and unconstitutional force, which forced the City into a consent decree. The City is seeking to be released from the agreement despite repeated lack of accountability for police killings of Black residents -- most recently, Charleena Lyles and Shaun Fuhr.1 We bear witness to the ongoing harms that police violence enacts against Black lives. In the interests of public health and safety, we call on the University of Washington to divest from and cease any contracts with the Seattle Police Department. Specifically, we call on UW to break all ties (both informal and formal in the form of contracts, agreements, and MOUs) with Seattle Police Department by taking the following steps: 1) Immediately stop handing over people detained by UW Police Department to SPD custody.2 1 This statement was correct when the petition launched on June 2, 2020.
