Bangladesh look up to Neil McKenzie for tips to tackle Ashwin-Jadeja: Mohammed Mithun

"We are working on some technical aspects keeping our focus on how to handle them," Mithun said. They are expecting that batting coach Neil McKenzie will help them decode the Indian spinners. "Let the technical things remain inside the dressing room," he said without parting with the trade secrets. Asked to comment on India's weakness, Mithun said that he preferred to look at his own strength than opponent's weakness. "We are looking at our strength more than focusing on their weakness because no team could do well against them at their home (in the recent past). We are looking forward to do well here. Obviously it won't be easy and we need to work really hard," he said. "The five bowlers they (India) have, we cannot take anyone lightly because everyone is world-class." Mithun has belief in his young bowling unit that it can take 20 wickets to win a Test match. "Any batsman can get out anytime. If we can bowl as a unit with the discipline I feel we can pick 20 wickets. While India are favourites by a distance, Mithun feels that the T20 win in Delhi gives them hope of enjoying a good result. "If we look at the past no one gave us any chance when it comes to beating India in the T20 and that too in their own backyard. "But our players had that belief. We are disappointed that we could not win the last game (in Nagpur) despite creating chances at the same time now we are looking forward to do well in Test series."

Play it like Lillie and Federer, advises psychologist

ut what pushes cricketers, or sportspersons in general, into the chasms of uncertainty? Is it all about success and failure? Dr Phil Jauncey, Australia's foremost performance psychologist, wouldn't choose the word 'failure' to explain the problem. "I prefer to talk of disappointment and regret. Disappointment is where someone has done his best, but did not achieve his aim - in all contests someone has to come second. Regret is where we have self-sabotaged and for whatever reason chosen not to execute a level that was within our control. Athletes need to understand that the terms failure and success are not objectively clear. Executing to our ability is within our control," Jauncey told The Telegraph.Dr Jauncey, who was the psychological consultant to the Australian cricket team between 2001 and 2008, highlighted how success at times can also be problematic. "Success will not bring emotional pain when it is within our control and defined by our own expectations. However, when others keep raising the bar and keep changing its definition, then since we are not in control, it will yield even more pain, ultimately leading to self-sabotage.""Self-sabotage", Dr Jauncey says, can also be triggered by the ills of social media. "Social media gives an unfiltered access to sports people. It can generate what I call "If only." messages. 'If only I get positive feedback about me will I be happy'. Sadly, many young people have been driven to despair (or worse) by receiving poor feedback about themselves. If they are not handling it well, the brain will give pain. If it continues, the brain will lead to self-sabotage."What is the best way then to deal with pressure for a sportsperson? "I have a view that 'if you cannot see it, you cannot fix it!' You can't see what is pressure, but what we do have is the behaviour of acting under pressure. That is something we can fix. Nerves, stress, etc. are like fuel. It can be powerful or destructive. We cannot control feeling nervous or confident, but we can control our behaviour in acting nervously or acting confidently. The fuel in a car is powerful, just don't put a match to it," Dr Jauncey, who has also worked with the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi national cricket teams, said.Dennis Lillie and Roger Federer, according to Dr Jauncey, are two sportspersons who have been exemplary in their handling of pressure."ing Federer, I have observed that his behaviour is always one of a winner. Now as he is aging, rather than saying to himself, 'If only I was as young and strong as I used to be', he has said to himself and his support team 'Only if we do what we can, I can still be competitive'."Years ago, fast bowler Lillie did this, cutting down on his extreme pace. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he reinvented himself to be a slower bowler. Many claim that he actually was far more effective after his injury than before."Sport is not always about mind games, it can also be about the games that the mind plays.

Shia, Sunni clerics against review of SC order on Ayodhya land case

But since it has been a unanimous one, there is little to be achieved by way of review,' Khalid Rasheed told HT. Both Sadiq and Rasheed are important members of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) though Rasheed said his views on the issue were personal. 'My view is personal and not that of the AIMPLB,' he said. Both Sadiq and Rasheed were among the leaders whom UP government's lone Muslim face Mohsin Raza had met on Saturday also in a bid to ensure peace and amity in the run-up to Supreme Court verdict. After Raza's visit, all the clerics had issued appeals for peace. Having succeeded in ensuring cooperation of Muslims during the Ayodhya verdict, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to continue its minority connect drive even afterwards. , National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval met religious leaders, including Maulana Kalbe Jawad, who is also a prominent Shia cleric in the state, in Delhi to seek their continued cooperation in maintaining peace post verdict. During his meeting Sadiq told Raza that he was categorically against the Muslims filing a review or curative petitions. 'Ayodhya is a place Hindus hold sacred. As far as the mosque goes, it can be built anywhere. In fact, I am not in favour of building a mosque in Ayodhya per se. It can come up anywhere-- in Lucknow, Kanpur or anywhere else,' he said adding, 'I now want a full stop to all of this. I am all praise for the manner in which Muslims and Hindus cooperated before, during and after the verdict. However, I would now like to add that we have built enough temples and mosques and other religious places and now we must concentrate on building the country.' Former minister Ammar Rizvi, who also heads the All India Minorities Forum for Democracy and had joined the BJP only recently, backed Sadiq and in fact lashed out at those who wanted a review of the SC order. Sadiq was the first prominent Muslim cleric who had not only issued a peace appeal but also urged the community to voluntarily give up the 'disputed land' to Hindus ahead of the verdict.

Boeing says 737 MAX expected to resume flying in January

It had originally planned for the model to resume flying in December. The planes have been grounded globally since mid-March, following the deadly Lion Air crash of October 2018 and the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March this year. The grounding has dragged on far beyond initial expectations as Boeing has upgraded systems and faced questions from regulators and politicians over the plane. Southwest Airlines and American Airlines on Friday pushed back their timeframe again for resuming flights on the 737 MAX until early March. Boeing said Monday it has completed the first of five key milestones it must meet before returning to service: a multi-day simulator evaluation with the FAA to "ensure the overall software system performs its intended function." The group said it still needs to run a separate, multi-day simulator session with airline pilots to "assess human factors and crew workload under various test conditions," before FAA pilots conduct a certification flight of the final updated software. Boeing has notably changed the aircraft's Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), an anti-stall mechanism that pilots in both fatal crashes had struggled to control as the jets careered downwards. Boeing will then submit to the FAA all the necessary materials to support software certification. The final key step before the resumption of commercial flights is an evaluation by a multi-regulatory body to validate training requirements. After this, Boeing said, a report will be released for a public comment period, followed by final approval of the training. "At each step of this process Boeing has worked closely with the FAA and other regulators," the group said. ...

Bundesliga 2019-20: Bayern Munich thrash Borussia Dortmund 4-0

Bayern's moved up to third, level on points with second-placed RB Leipzig and one behind leaders Borussia Moenchengladbach, who host Werder Bremen Sunday. Interim coach Hansi Flick enjoyed his second win in charge since Niko Kovac was sacked last Sunday. However, Bayern are having difficulties finding a new coach, with Arsene Wenger on Saturday contradicting their claims they turned him down as Kovac's successor and slammed the club for a lack of discretion. Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who spoke to Wenger last week, cancelled a pre-match interview with Sky. Ajax coach Erik ten Hag and Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel have already made it clear they will not join Bayern this season. Despite their off-field troubles, Bayern bounced back from last weekend's 5-1 drubbing at Eintracht Frankfurt as Lewandowski scored with a superb header from a Benjamin Pavard cross on 17 minutes. Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho was hooked off on 36 minutes after failing to make an impact on proceedings. Gnabry had a goal ruled out for offside as Bayern went in 1-0 up at the break, but the Germany winger struck two minutes into the second half. When Lewandowski stumbled with the goal at his mercy, Gnabry fired home. With an hour gone and his side 2-0 down, Dortmund coach Lucien Favre brought on forwards Marco Reus and Paco Alcacer, who have only just recovered from foot and calf injuries respectively. Alcacer had his head in his hands after failing to connect with an Achraf Hakimi cross with 20 minutes left as Dortmund's best chance went begging. Bayern's third came as Lewandowski finished another counter-attack by the hosts, just before Hummels' own goal.

Sorry James, it's #MeToo time

ut one old fashioned joke has apparently survived, thanks to Waller-Bridge. In one scene, "Craig's suave secret agent is struggling to get a seaplane airborne as his passenger cries out, 'Get it up! Get it up!' - prompting the wry reply: 'I've never had a problem with that before.'"This joke is probably far too bad to be left out.The "get it up" double entendre comes after Bond commandeers a seaplane as police cars, sirens wailing, race along a jetty. He lands the plane on a fishing trawler and a fight sequence takes place.The script has Bond marrying Dr Madeleine Swann - the psychologist played by French actress Lea Seydoux who first appeared in 2015's Spectre. But she refuses to take her new husband's name. The morning after their wedding, Bond wakes sleepy-eyed and says, "Good morning, Mrs Bond," to which she replies: "Don't you mean Ms Swann?"A source told the Mail on Sunday, for example: "The phrase 'Bond girl' was outlawed from the set. The women in this film are all strong, brave and fiercely independent. These women are not helpless girls who jump into bed with Bond - their reactions are very different from what people might think. Bond tries his usual seduction techniques but they fail miserably. It's very funny."The film is introducing strong female characters, such as Lashana Lynch as another top British secret agent who also happens to be black. At the start of the film, a retired Bond is living in retirement in Jamaica - the Caribbean island where Fleming had a home. It was reported that since he was no longer with the intelligence service, his number - 007 - had been given to Lynch.But quite often details such as this are deliberately leaked by the producers to test public opinion - and the notion of giving someone else the 007 number has met with widespread hostility. A movie insider said the original plan was for a "popcorn-dropping moment" when M (Ralph Fiennes) says, "Come in 007," and "this beautiful, strong black woman walks through the door".Craig's Bond is brought out of retirement to work alongside the female special agent to save the world from a villain who has developed deadly algae which threatens to kill the world's oceans - a nod to the concerns of climate campaigners.Lynch, 31, said of her double-O role: "Everyone was really responsive to having her be what I wanted. You're given a fresh perspective on a brand-new black woman in the Bond world." She was determined her character should be a "real" woman "who has issues with her weight and maybe questions what's going on with her boyfriend". She even discussed something which has never made it into a Bond film before: "We had one conversation about her maybe being on her period... and. throwing her tampon (into the bin)."However, "plans for her to become the first black, female 007 - taking over the codename from Craig's Bond after he retires - could be scrapped after a social-media backlash. Sources say she is now likely to get another agent number, 001."Several reports claimed that "even Bond's beloved gas-guzzling Aston Martin hasn't escaped the green makeover. Craig will drive an electric Rapide E model. Only 155 of the £250,000 vehicles have been built."However, this was contradicted by The Sunday Times: "It was meant to be a significant moment in the near-57 years of James Bond movies: the first time 007 was to appear behind the wheel of a pure-electric car, the Aston Martin Rapide E. Then came the British car maker's official announcement about the cars that will appear in the forthcoming 25th Bond film, none of which were the plug-in Rapide."Instead, the world's best secret agent, to be played for the final time by Daniel Craig, will be seen on screen with two classic Astons - the V8 Vantage that previously appeared in The Living Daylights, and the legendary DB5 that first wowed cinemagoers in Goldfinger - and his most powerful car yet, the Valhalla, which is expected to have around 1,000bhp.""We've no idea where that rumour came from," an Aston Martin spokesman told the paper. "The three cars for the new Bond film were decided ages ago, well before that rumour emerged."

737 Max jet safety plans were rejected

t is unclear what, if any, assessment investigators have made of the complaint.The complaint, filed after the two crashes, builds on concerns about Boeing's corporate culture, as the company tries to repair its reputation and get the planes flying again.Many current and former Boeing employees have privately discussed problems with the design and decision-making process on the 737 Max, outlining episodes when managers dismissed engineers' recommendations or prioritised profits. The engineer who filed the ethics concerns this year, Curtis Ewbank, went a step further, lodging a formal complaint and calling out the chief executive for publicly misrepresenting the safety of the plane.During the development of the 737 Max, Ewbank worked on the cockpit systems that pilots use to monitor and control the airplane. In his complaint to Boeing, he said that managers were urged to study a backup system for calculating the plane's airspeed. The system, known as synthetic airspeed, draws on several data sources to measure how fast a plane is moving.Such equipment, Ewbank said, could detect when the angle-of-attack sensors, which measure the plane's position in the sky, were malfunctioning and prevent other systems from relying on that faulty information. A version of the system is used on Boeing's 787 Dreamliner, a new model of plane.Ewbank did not respond to requests for comment.In both crashes of the Max, an angle-of-attack sensor is believed to have failed, sending bad data to automated software designed to help prevent stalls. That software, known as MCAS, then activated erroneously, sending the planes into irrecoverable nose dives.Ewbank noted in the complaint, "It is not possible to say for certain that any actual implementation of synthetic airspeed on the 737 Max would have prevented the accidents" in Ethiopia and Indonesia. But he said that Boeing's actions on the issue pointed to a culture that emphasised profit in some cases, at the expense of safety.Throughout the development of the Max, Boeing tried to avoid adding components that could force airlines to train pilots in flight simulators, costing tens of millions of dollars over the life of an aircraft. Changes to the Max could also have required the more onerous approval for a new plane, rather than the certification process for a derivative model.
