What Singh’s frustrations tell us about governance EVERY Manmohan Singh obit noted the following: his decency, role as a reformer, hidden political savvy and govt dysfunction in his second term as PM. What’s got very little press is his frustration – he spent most of UPA-2 (2009-2014) as a PM unable to work on what he saw as a priority: the faltering economy. A decade back, in 2014, in a commentary in TOI (‘History will be kind to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’), Swaminathan Aiyar had caught this frustration – it took a long time for Singh to convince Sonia, who was focused only on rights-based policies, that GDP growth mattered, and when she finally listened, it was too late. Added to this was a forest of new green regulations that stalled work on projects. Politics is different now. Modi as PM is a powerful boss, even in a coalition govt. But there are useful lessons to be still learnt from the good doctor’s frustrations. First, politics is not about binaries – you can focus on welfare/rights activism and growth at the same time. And if you forget the latter, peril awaits. This can hardly be more relevant when every party is looking to devise a new cash transfer scheme and no party wants to talk up growth policies. Reforms, as today’s accompanying piece shows, have become a mantra devoid of meaning. Second, don’t pit growth/project work against environment. During UPA-2, projects stalled because of green rules. These days, mountains and hills are under threat because of project work. Ten years ago, govts were blind to this in a certain way, and now, they are blind to it in a different way. Third, remember, very few leaders, even those that start well, leave office on a high – Singh didn’t. When you still have time to change this outcome, don’t waste it on politics as usual.HELEN Flanagan has broken her silence on the reunion she had with her footballer ex Scott Sinclair.

Former has taken aim at Usman Khawaja's decision to allow rookie opener Nathan McSweeney to face the first ball in , calling on the veteran to "own the moment". McSweeney lasted just four balls before being trapped lbw by Jasprit Bumrah, precipitating a collapse that saw Australia lose 3-12 in pursuit of an unachievable 534 at Perth Stadium. India should wrap up the first Test on Monday, completing a humiliating rout of a listless, tardy and severely deflated Australia side. The home side simply ran out of ideas on day and fight on day three as and a back-to-form Virat Kohli piled on the misery with centuries before a late declaration. Many fans saw the move to allow debutant McSweeney to face the first ball of the second innings as symptomatic of Australia's lack of planning and general cricket smarts. Clarke was astounded by the decision. "A lot of people don't like taking first ball, so the opening batters rotate," he told Sky Sports' Big Sports Breakfast. "Khawaja took the first ball in the first innings and now they're saying it's McSweeney (for the second innings). "But I think Uzzie should have said, 'youngster, get down the other end, even though we're going to rotate, even though I don't like taking it, it's my time'. (He should have said) 'I'm a senior player. I'm 38 years of age in a week's time. Listen here, youngster, I know you want to do it (but) get down there. It's my turn'. I think Uzzie should have owned that moment." Clarke was also critical over the lack of fight when India batted a second time, accusing Australia of going through the motions. He said: "It was like we just expected to knock India over again for not many – there was no intent. They were right in our faces but I didn't see any of our bowlers give it to any (India) batsmen. Our intent, our energy...it all looked a bit flat for the first Test of the summer." Things went from bad to embarrassing in the final half hour of play as the Aussies lost McSweeney (0), Pat Cummins (2) and Marnus Labuschagne (3). McSweeney fell victim to Bumrah for the second innings in a row, completing a nightmare Test debut for the 25-year-old. But many were left questioning why veteran teammate Khawaja didn't show more leadership by facing the first ball of the innings. Khawaja faced the first ball in the first innings, but in the second dig the Aussie openers switched it around (which is customary for openers). But given McSweeney was on debut and the incredible Bumrah was bowling in fading light, many felt Khawaja should have shown some leadership and fronted up himself. The 37-year-old Khawaja has played 73 Tests, and many fans and commentators felt it was 'poor' for him to allow McSweeney to expose himself to Bumrah straight away. Others countered by saying McSweeney would have had to face Bumrah at some stage anyway, and openers shouldn't need protecting. But the sight of Khawaja standing at the non-striker's end while Bumrah cannoned a ball into McSweeney's front pad left a sour taste in many people's mouths. And Khawaja lets the debutant face Bumrah. Pathetic. 👎 — The Cricket Camera (@CricketCamera) Surely as the senior opener Khawaja has to take the first ball... harsh on McSweeney — Johnny Amos (@JohnnyA988) Really poor from Khawaja and the Aussie brains trust. Should’ve shown leadership and seniority and taken the first over. Instead he’s left McSweeney to face the music. Gets a low one and is gone. — Phil Schultz (@philschultz11) Usman ‘The People’s Champ’ Khawaja making debutant McSweeney face up first ball in a massively tricky period before close is a joke — Alasdair 🇳🇦🇳🇿 (@Alasdair333) Khawaja literally sent debutant McSweeney to face the first ball from Bumrah. Disgraceful 😭😭 — Nash (@NashvSant) Shame on Usman Khawaja, being the senior partner, to let the debutant take the first ball. Absolutely mind-boggling cricket by cover this topic. Cracks appearing in the Australian team more than the Perth pitch. — Dragon K (@kevinriemers23) Cummins then showed some brilliant leadership by coming out to bat at No.3, protecting Labuschagne and Steve Smith from having to bat in the tricky conditions. But once he departed, Labuschagne decided to come out at No.4 anyway. And it immediately backfired as the struggling batter lasted just five balls. Many were left wondering why the Aussies would send Labuschagne out at No.4 if they didn't send him out at 3, with some suggesting a second nightwatchman in Nathan Lyon should have batted instead. If the Aussies were going to be three down at stumps, surely you'd rather they be Cummins and Lyon in the shed rather than McSweeney and Labuschagne. And to make matters worse for Labuschagne, he burned a review on his way back to the pavilion. The Aussie batter got it horribly wrong when he shouldered arms and watched the ball from Bumrah thud into his pads. After a discussion with Khawaja he opted to use DRS, and replays showed the ball was thundering into his off stump. Labuschagne's decision to use a review when he didn't even play a shot was labelled 'selfish' by many cricket pundits on social media. What an absolutely disgraceful challenge from Marnus. Utterly selfish and egotistical. Needs to be dropped — Ronny Lerner (@RonnyLerner) Marnus needs a spell from top level. He looks all at sea. Has not made a ton in 18 months. One score over 10 in last 10 innings. — Croz🔟 (@croz_10) What about the selfish referral by Marnus? — Peter Chivers (@PeterChivers41) The Aussies are no chance of chasing 534, but you'd like to have all your reviews in hand in case the umpire makes a howler. Labuschagne's dismissal continued his horror run of form, in which he hasn't made a Test century in the last 18 months. There's renewed questions about how much longer the Aussies can afford to keep Labuschagne in the team, although there doesn't appear to be many options to replace him. With scores of 2 and 3 in Perth, he hasn't reach double figures in his last 10 innings. And selectors might have to bite the bullet and make a call before it's too late.

By RONALD BLUM NEW YORK (AP) — Major League Baseball will test robot umpires as part of a challenge system during spring training at 13 ballparks hosting 19 teams, which could lead to regular-season use in 2026. MLB has been experimenting with the automated ball-strike system in the minor leagues since 2019 but is still working on the shape of the strike zone. An agreement for big league use would have to be reached with the Major League Baseball Umpires Association, whose collective bargaining agreement expires Dec. 1. “I would be interested in having it in ‘26,” baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said Wednesday after an owners’ meeting. “We do have a collective bargaining obligation there. That’s obviously a term and condition of employment. We’re going to have to work through that issue, as well.” Manfred said the spring training experiment will have to be evaluated before MLB determines how to move forward. “There’s two sides to that test,” he said. “It’s what the clubs think about it and also what do the players think about it? And we’re going to have to sort through both of those.” Triple-A ballparks used ABS this year for the second straight season, but there is little desire to call the strike zone as the cube defined in the rule book and MLB has experimented with modifications during minor league testing.

Wagner tops holdovers MLB | SF Giants name Randy Winn vice president of player development MLB | KNBR shakeup: Tom Tolbert, John Lund out at San Francisco’s longtime sports talk radio power The ABS currently calls strikes solely based on where the ball crosses the midpoint of the plate, 8.5 inches from the front and the back. The top of the strike zone was increased to 53.5% of batter height this year from 51%, and the bottom remained at 27%. After splitting having the robot alone for the first three games of each series and a human with a challenge system in the final three during the first 2 1/2 months of the Triple-A season, MLB on June 25 switched to an all-challenge system in which a human umpire makes nearly all decisions. During the second half of the season, each team had three challenges in the Pacific Coast League and two in the International League. A team retains its challenge if successful, similar to the regulations for big league teams with video reviews. “I think we will have a spring training ABS test that will provide a meaningful opportunity for all major league players to see what the challenge system will look like,” Manfred said. “It won’t be in every single ballpark but we actually have a plan where every team will get meaningful exposure.”
