The last two Sundays have seen Pakistan race to series whitewashes in the game’s shortest format against Australia and New Zealand. They also have registered 11 consecutive series wins – a world record. The rapid-fire cricket of T20 mirrors the helter-skelter nature of life in a country of 220 million where people. Former captain-turned-commentator Ramiz Raja believes Pakistan’s Twenty20 flair comes naturally. “It’s partly our DNA,” said Raja. “But our successes have a lot to do with skills and fitness....

The idea seems simple, but lately it’s been spinning wildly out of control. Last year a bunch of contemporary country singers strutted their soft-rocking stuff on “Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles,” and the album has sold an amazing 3 million copies. This fall there are tributes to satisfy every craving: punk hipsters do the Carpenters, Irish warblers do Van Morrison, country stompers do Lynyrd Skynyrd, alternative eggheads do Richard Thompson, headbangers do Black Sabbath....

To much of the world, Argentina seemed bent on committing collective suicide the week before Christmas. Two consecutive years of rising unemployment and austerity measures, meant to combat a $132 billion foreign debt, finally boiled over into the country’s worst disturbances in 12 years. But as Argentina stood on the verge of the largest default in recorded history, something historic happened in the rest of South America. Nothing. Foreign business executives did not bolt for the nearest airport....

Players familiar with Hazelight Studio’s previous title A Way Out may remember that the game featured a Zelda-related easter egg in the form of a cardboard master sword that could be obtained by interacting with a cuckoo clock.

RELATED: Josef Fares Gives His Take on PlayStation and Xbox After Cody and May make their way through the opening of the cuckoo clock level, they will eventually reach a large open area that is reminiscent of an old Bavarian village....

Over the years, Hazelight Studios has proven there is a place for co-op video games with titles such as A Way Out and It Takes Two. Both games offered couch co-op, which is a feature that has sadly been lacking from many recent titles. Hazelight Studios has, thankfully, noticed this hole in recent video games and has been doing its part to fill that gap. But how long will Hazelight do so?...

Jurgen Klopp’s side served notice of their title credentials with a dominant display at Wembley, where the result should have been put beyond any doubt in between Roberto Firmino’s 54th-minute goal and Erik Lamela’s stoppage-time consolation. Wijnaldum converted a fine header from a first-half corner after Liverpool’s plan to crowd Spurs goalkeeper Michel Vorm proved effective. But Wijnaldum and Joe Gomez peeled away to the back post when only one of them was supposed to make that run – a miscommunication that paid off....

Italian artist Salvatore Garau recently auctioned an invisible sculpture for 15,000 euros ($18,300). According to as.com, the sculpture’s initial price was set between 6,000 and 9,000 euros; however, the price was raised after several bids were placed. Titled ‘Io Sono’ (Italian for “I am”), the 67-year-old artist’s sculpture is “immaterial,” meaning that the sculpture does not actually exist. Though he’s received much critique for the sale, Garau argues that his work of art isn’t “nothing,” but is instead a “vacuum....

The League said : “Iannini will be suspended for 10 matches after making a racially discriminatory comment against an opponent in the 18th minute of the first half.” Lannini, who plays as a midfielder for Matera, was initially given a red card in the first half of an Italian Cup match and was later given a 10 match suspension in the first use of new anti-discrimination rules.
