Australia bowlers keep India in check after Kohli bash

Australia bowlers keep India in check after Kohli bash
KOLKATA: Fast bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile helped Australia bowl out India for 252 despite a fluent 92 by skipper Virat Kohli in the second one-day international on Thursday.
The hosts depended on a 102-run second-wicket stand between Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, who made 55, to start strongly before the Australian bowlers struck back at the Eden Gardens.
Fast bowlers Coulter-Nile and Kane Richardson claimed three wickets each for the visitors, who lost the first in the five-match series in Chennai.
Coulter-Nile claimed opener Rohit Sharma caught and bowled for seven, but had to wait to get his next two as Indian batsmen scored freely.
Rahane´s run out started the turnaround for the visitors and Ashton Agar soon bowled Manish Pandey for three to halt India´s progress.
Coulter-Nile came back for his second spell to get Kedar Jadhav out for 24 and end another dangerous-looking stand with Kohli at the other end.
He finally got Kohli´s prized wicket to deny the star batsman his 31st ODI ton. Kohli chopped a swinging delivery onto his stumps.
Richardson, who replaced James Faulkner in the starting lineup, got into the act after sending Mahendra Singh Dhoni trudging back to the pavilion as India slipped to 204-6.
First match hero Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar - the two scored 20 runs each - tried hard to put up some crucial runs in the final overs but Richardson cut short their efforts.

Unique home that sits on US-Canada border

Unique home that sits on US-Canada border TORONTO: Selling a home in two countries is proving to be a challenge for the owners as it requires security clearance from both Canada and the United States. A 1782 fixer-upper with thick granite walls, 1950s decor, and armed 24-hour security provided by both two big countries are one of the major attractions for the buyers. The almost 7,000-square-foot house, cut into five currently vacant apartments, is on a lot of less than a quarter-acre that, along with the building itself, straddles the border between Beebe Plain, Vermont, and Stanstead, Quebec. The structure that has an estimated rebuild cost of about $600,000, is on the market for $109,000. It's structurally sound but needs lots of work. An inside view shows tape on the floor upstairs to indicate which side belongs to Canada and the United States. The house was originally built by a merchant in order to facilitate sales to farmers in both Vermont and Quebec. It ...

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force WASHINGTON: US bombers and fighter escorts flew off the coast of North Korea Saturday in a show of force against its nuclear weapons program, escalating already sky-high tensions. The hermit state´s foreign minister, meanwhile, assailed US President Donald Trump at the United Nations, deriding him as a "mentally deranged" leader whose threats had increased the chances of military confrontation. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un have exchanged increasingly bellicose rhetoric in recent days, as international alarm mounts over Pyongyang´s weapons ambitions -- including a hint this week that the country is considering detonating an H-bomb over the Pacific. US bombers have carried out similar flights before, as the United States and the international community struggle to rein in North Korea´s weapons programs. But in a new stage for such show of force operations, the Pentagon stressed this w...
