Khawaja made just 11 in the hosts’ 10-wicket win over England in the first Ashes Test in Brisbane. The left-hander was trapped lbw by Moeen Ali at the Gabba, marking the 17th time he has been out to spin in 39 Test dismissals. Speaking ahead of the second Test starting in Adelaide on Saturday, Khawaja played down the significance of his dismissal to Moeen. “Sometimes you just get out.

A grand total of 17 games will hit store shelves within the same month as Kinect’s launch, which almost beats the 360’s original launch line-up of 18 games. Not too bad for a new piece of hardware, but of course they all won’t be launching the same day as Kinect, which is a little bit of a low blow to early adopters of the motion camera. There are some games that will be day-one purchases for sure, but there is also a lot of games that you should probably avoid....

Of course, it’s not a perfect game by any means. Phasmophobia gets its fair share of criticisms, such as those who feel the large maps are a little too “boring,” but the indie title has made quite an impact on the horror scene, and was actually one of Steam’s highest rated games not long after it was released in 2020. Its co-operative teamwork gameplay mechanic, mixed in with paranormal scares, is a recipe that has been working well for the developer, to such an extent that other similar releases have been coming out from other studios thick and fast....

The units that one commands in battle, when fallen, will not return, meaning that players will have to find and purchase new soldiers to keep their army strong. However, with limited money and troops in the game, it’s possible for players to starve themselves of resources and have to resort to loading an earlier save....

That doesn’t mean the leftover elements from the prior titles are gone, however. Like its predecessors, Kingdom Hearts 4 is performing a complicated juggling act to balance pushing the series’ plot forward while also incorporating Disney worlds and past elements. Just because Sora has found himself among strangers in Quadratum doesn’t mean his old friends have stopped looking for him in the wider KH universe. The KH4 reveal trailer demonstrates this with a stinger featuring Donald and Goofy searching for someone....

When Kingdom Hearts finally released for PC on the Epic Games Store last March 2021, fans were probably thinking that it would only be a matter of time until the series made its way onto the Nintendo Switch. Proving fans right, Square Enix recently released news that cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts would be available to stream on the portable console this February 2022.

Well, being a statistics student all my life, I know that this is just a case of correlation and correlation is not causation. To put it very simply, the relationship between two things does not mean that one causes the other. However, as a cricket fan, I love seeing the relationships between two events. Assuming that everybody else loves these kinds of success-factors stats, I curated some similar stats for the Indian batsmen playing in the World T20....
