England is going through a somewhat similar patch like that of their opponents. They have won only once in their previous five games. Their only series win was against the West Indies back in March, which they won when fielding a T20 squad ahead of the World T20s.
|
Skipper Alistair Cook is having much more to worry than just about the results. He has been haunted with criticism as ODI skipper from all corners, despite being assured of leading the squad in World Cup.
|
If things go wrong against him yet again, the England squad would only hit rock bottom in confidence when making their trip to Australasia.
|
The highlights video will be posted here soon.

It's no secret that Kylie Jenner is really freakin' good at makeup, and now that she's a mega beauty brand ambassador, she's officially become an expert on all-things beauty. She's so proud of her abilities, in fact, she plans on giving us all makeup tutorials in the near future. Yassss.
|
But since it's been almost a month since Kylie's tweet and we can barely hold out much longer, we think she might be in need of some inspiration. Luckily, we've got it! Here's 12 of our favorite makeup looks that we hope to see her recreate ASAP.

BRITAIN will send 150 troops to help protect Poland from Russian aggression as Theresa May looks to secure Warsaw's backing in Brexit talks.
|
A summit between the PM and her Polish counterpart Beata Szydlo is being held in an effort to stand up to bolshie Putin and allay Polish fears about its citizens remaining in the UK after Britain leaves the EU.
|
The deployment of troops from the Light Dragoons will be based in the northeastern town of Orzysz, just 100km from the key Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, from April.
|
It is here that Russia is planning to base Nuclear-capable missiles posing a major threat to cities in northern Europe.
|
While the deployment is small compared to Russia's vast military, the gesture is intended to be symbolic of the UK's commitment to her NATO allies and Britain's ties to Poland.
|
Theresa May said on Sunday: "We share a clear commitment to take our co-operation to the next level and to firmly establish the UK and Poland as resolute and strategic allies.
|
"We will never forget the Polish pilots who braved the skies alongside us during World War Two … nor the valuable contribution made by so many Poles in our country today.
|
"I am determined that Brexit will not weaken our relationship … rather it will serve as a catalyst to strengthen it."
|
The two leaders are meeting in London, where along with defence Brexit will likely be a key topic of discussion.
|
Despite heavy criticism, the Government has so far refused to rule out removing rights for EU nationals currently in the UK to stay after Brexit until a similar guarantee is made about the 1.2million Brits living in Europe.
|
However, May is expected to play down these fears to secure Warsaw's favour.
|
Ms Szydlo said Poland would be a "constructive partner" during EU negotiations with Britain.
|
In an article for the Daily Telegraph she said there needed to be a "good compromise which gives both our countries the best possible options for economic and security cooperation".
|
Brexit-related talks will likely rile EU leaders after Brussels banned member states from formal negotiations with Britain before Article 50 is triggered in March next year.

Boris Johnson, the newly elected Tory MP and London mayor, together with a significant number of women MPs, will join the Cabinet as part of David Cameron’s post-election reshuffle.
|
The prime minister did not reveal what specific duties Johnson would undertake, saying that he would be focusing on his duties as London mayor until the election in 2016.
|
The mayor joins several female Tory MPs who have been promoted to Cabinet positions following the Liberal Democrat bloodbath which saw every Liberal Democrat MP in the Cabinet aside from former leader Nick Clegg lose their seat.
|
The Cabinet reshuffle follows the announcement that Ian Duncan Smith will remain as Work and Pensions Secretary, Nicky Morgan will retain the role of Education Minister and Baroness Stowell remains leader of the Lords.
|
George Osborne and Theresa May will continue as the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary, respectively.
|
Previously serving as the Minister for Universities, Greg Clark will now take on the role of Secretary of State at the Department of Communities and Local Government.
|
In the first move of his second term as prime minister, David Cameron appears to be committing to his pledge to make at least a third of his senior team women and shake the image of a “male, pale and stale” cabinet.
|
Among the new members of the Cabinet is Amber Rudd, who has been promoted to Secretary for Energy and Climate Change. Rudd previously served as the Under Secretary of State for the department since July 2014 and also sat on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee.
|
A rising star at the Treasury, Priti Patel, was announced as the new Minister of State for Employment at the Department for Work and Pensions. She was Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury during 2014.
|
Anna Soubry has also been promoted to Minister of State for Small Businesses and Cameron has said she will attend cabinet.
|
Other MPs retaining their positions in the cabinet include Lizz Truss as Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Justine Greening at the Department of International Development and Patrick McLoughlin as the Transport Secretary.
|
The Conservatives now have 64 women MPs compared with 48 before the election.
|
Their victory in the general election came as a shock after numerous pre-election polls placed Labour and the Conservatives neck-and-neck.
|
Speaking on Monday to the 1922 Committee, an influential group of Tory MPs, he will tell backbenchers his new plan is one of “renewal” for the country.
|
“After the great Labour recession – so much of the last five years was about repair and recovery. It fell to us to put the economy on the right track and to get Britain back to work,” he will say.
|
His re-election was not greeted with joy in many quarters, however, as scuffles between police and anti-Tory protesters broke out over the weekend.
|
The scathing attack by the South African Democratic Teachers' Union on civil society organisations working in education, describing them as "imperialist neoliberal forces", is undemocratic and indicative of the siege mentality plaguing the tripartite alliance, analysts say.
|
The 250 000-member teacher union resolved at its national general council last weekend that a "stern warning should be [sent] to civil society organisations … that we will not accept a situation in which they are used as proxies to pursue certain political agendas".
|
Sadtu needs to "consistently sensitise society about the dangers of imperialist neoliberal forces masquerading as NGOs [non-governmental organisations] as these will only serve to erode the progress of the national democratic revolution".
|
Sakhela Buhlungu, sociology professor at the University of Pretoria, said the union's resolution had to be exposed for what it was — intolerance that went against democracy.
|
"The alliance sees itself as being under siege. They realise that there are lots of mistakes being made and that criticism by NGOs is actually quite damaging," said Buhlungu, who is the author of several books about politics and trade unions locally and in Africa, including a history of trade union federation Cosatu, published this year.
|
Now, more than ever, South Africa needs NGOs, he said. "We need every township and suburb to have not one but 10 NGOs.
|
We need more voices, more noise pointing out incompetence and corruption in the government."
|
There has been a wave of litigation involving the basic education department this year and civil society organisations said they had been forced to take legal routes because of the government's inaction in the face of the crisis in education.
|
But Sadtu general secretary Mugwena Maluleke told the Mail & Guardian that the NGOs had a broader agenda — to undermine the government. "Some NGOs are working with other political parties and there will come a time when we will identify all of them. They are driving an agenda that education is a national crisis [and] using education to destroy the confidence of the public [in the government]."
|
Asked whether he thought there was an education crisis, Maluleke said: "We call it a challenge that is facing the country. We should be able to say 'these are challenges and we must contextualise the challenges. Did they begin in 1994 or before?' Why would we say the new government is the one that brought all these problems if we are dealing with a legacy from before 1994?
|
"Globally, there is an economic crisis which will, of course, impact on education and health."
|
He refused to say which organisations the union's resolution referred to, except one — Section27. The organisation took the basic education department to court twice this year over the non-delivery of textbooks in Limpopo.
|
"Their agenda is not of assisting us but to bash us. We can't work with Section27," Maluleke said.
|
He accused the organisation of "blaming us for contributing to the textbooks crisis" and claimed the union itself had alerted the provincial government last year to the impending crisis. Sadtu would release a list of other "problematic" NGOs in due course, he said.
|
Section27's director, Mark Heywood, said his organisation had sought to work with Sadtu and called on the union to "show evidence that we are anti-government".
|
"I'd like to see any evidence that Section27 is affiliated to or working on behalf of any political party, because we are completely independent of all political parties," he said.
|
The organisation's work was "solely dictated by the desire to allow poor children particularly to have a quality education".
|
Heywood said the statement was "in tune with the sabre-rattling against independent civil society that is coming from senior leaders, [SACP general secretary] Blade Nzimande in particular. [He has] made similar claims about civil society organisations [in terms of] neoliberal agendas and foreign funding ... and tried to warn Cosatu's members off joint campaigns."
|
Human rights lawyer Faranaaz Veriava said civil society's role had been "progressive, not reactionary" and Sadtu should be "working with it rather than launching an offensive".
|
Organisations such as Equal Education, the Legal Resources Centre, Section27 and the Centre for Child Law had responded "directly to a failing state in the face of an education crisis, 18 years into a constitutional democracy".
|
"Litigation is adversarial, but it is necessary in the current context of denialism and recalcitrance," Veriava said.

American is the first North American airliner to test a new video streaming service for passengers to purchase content from an in-flight library and enjoy on their own Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
|
Flying on American Airlines just got a little more comfortable for passengers like me, who have a hard time sleeping thanks to those flickering LCD screens embedded into the back of seats on most aircrafts.
|
"American's inflight Wi-Fi and the new streaming video product are powered by the Aircell air-to-ground system, which uses three small antennas installed outside the aircraft and connects to Aircell's exclusive nationwide mobile broadband network. Pricing for the new streaming video offering will be determined closer to launch and at the completion of customer testing."
|
Presumably, this would offer passengers a better selection of entertainment content than the two most recently released movies or lame TV show reruns you purposely missed the first time around, and bring airline companies (because others are sure to follow) an additional source of income. Savvy passengers, though, will just bring their preferred entertainment/content preloaded onto their machines. All in all, a win-win for those who would just like to rest during flights. Assuming the test service is problem-free and is approved by the FAA, expect to find this offering on American Wi-Fi-enabled flights starting this Fall.
|
For those who prefer to be connected and productive in the air, American Airline's entire domestic fleet is currently being wired for Wi-Fi and the AC plug, which means you will be able to stay online and charge your gear while you fly on any American flight within the continental US by 2012. Of course, this convenience will cost you.
|
No matter how you like to fly, please keep yourself entertained and not your neighbors!

The WPS Resources Corporation, the owner of a Wisconsin natural gas and electric utility, agreed yesterday to buy the Wisconsin Fuel and Light Company for about $56 million in stock. Investors in Wisconsin Fuel and Light, a gas utility, will swap each share for 1.73 shares of WPS. The agreement values Wisconsin Fuel at $54.82 a share, more than double its most recent stock price. WPS, based in Green Bay, Wis., had 1999 sales of $1.1 billion. Wisconsin Fuel and Light, based in Wausau, Wis., had sales of $43 million last year. WPS fell 56.25 cents, to $31.6875. Wisconsin Fuel and Light last traded, at $24, on May 16.

The latest release of Ubuntu Linux has just come out, so it is time to continue my screen-shot walk through Linux installers. The Ubuntu installer is called Ubiquity, and as far as I know it has not been significantly changed in quite a long time, at least at the user interface level. So I don't expect to find any surprises here.
|
When you boot the Ubuntu Live media (USB or DVD), you will presented with the choice of either "Try Ubuntu without installing" or "Install Ubuntu". If you choose try without installing, it will boot to a fully functional Live system, and there is an "Install Ubuntu" icon on the desktop, so after poking around, checking that all your hardware is working and that you are satisfied with the new release, you can still install to your hard drive without having to reboot.
|
When you start the installation process, the first screen is a 'Welcome' and language selection. A little bit of graphic decoration would go a long way here, it seems to me. Whatever language you select will be used for the installation dialog and as the default language on the installed system.
|
Next up is the system status check. All three of these checks seem questionable to me, but I guess I see why they want to do it.
|
Is there enough free disk space? Well, first, with some of the highly partitioned disks that I have, I don't know how Ubiquity would know whether there was enough or not. On the other hand, for novice Linux users, even if there were not enough space what would they be expected to do about it? Why not just go on, and deal with this later, if necessary?
|
Is power connected? Well, I guess it's good as a reminder, but if I choose to do the installation without external power, or I don't have external power, then it's my choice: and in fact the installer doesn't actually try to do anything about it, if you have no power and still click 'Continue'it will not refuse, it will simply go on.
|
The other thing on this screen is a check-box to tell Ubiquity to install certain non-free third-party packages. Sigh. Novice users will most likely not understand this. Experienced users will discover that even selecting this option does not get you everything that is in the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package. So why ask this now? Again, these are questions which have been in Ubiquity for a very, very long time, and I think it's time that their presence be reconsidered.
|
The next screen can take quite some time to come up, especially if you have an extensively partitioned disk drive such as I have. Ubiquity examines the disk layout, and if it finds other operating systems already installed (Windows or other Linux distributions, usually) it offers to install alongside them, or wiping the disk and installing only Ubuntu, or letting you manually partition and specify the installation targets.
|
I always choose "Something else", but for the majority of installations, either letting it figure out for itself how to install alongside, or just wiping the disk and installing only Ubuntu are going to be the best/most common selection.
|
When I choose "Something else", the next screen shows me the disk partition layout, and allows me to specify what/where to install - to some extent.
|
First, if you are installing on an MBR 'traditional boot' system, you can specify whether you want the bootloader installed to the MBR, or embedded in the beginning of the root filesystem. But if you are installing on a UEFI boot system, you can't specify the bootloader location, and that is really a shame. It would be a small change to make, and it can make life a lot easier in some cases. I have mentioned many times the name conflict between Ubuntu and Linux Mint UEFI installations, and that is one such case.
|
You also don't get to specify the swap space location, Ubiquity will simply take the first partition with type "linuxswap" for that. Less of a problem than the UEFI issue, but it can still be inconvenient. Choice and flexibility are always a good thing.
|
Anyway, when you have the disk partitioning the way you want it, click 'InstallNow' to kick off the installation process in the background. Meanwhile, you will walk through the last few installation/configuration screens. If you are very slow, or take a coffee/lunch/whatever break, the installation process might finish before you have completed the input screens. Not to worry, Ubiquity will then wait for you to catch up before completing the installation.
