নয়াদিল্লি: ইংল্যান্ডের কাছে টেস্ট সিরিজ খোয়ানোর পর প্রাক্তন ভারতীয় ক্রিকেটারদের একাংশ টিম কোহলির সমালোচনায় মুখর হয়েছেন। ভারতীয় দলের প্রাক্তন ওপেনার বীরেন্দ্র সহবাগও টিম ইন্ডিয়াকে নিশানা করেছেন। সাউদাম্পটন টেস্টে হেরে সিরিজ খোয়ানোর পর অধিনায়ক বিরাট কোহলি বলেন, বিদেশের মাটিতে লড়াই করে সন্তুষ্ট থাকার দিন শেষ। এবার ওই সীমা পার করার কৌশল শিখতে হবে। তিনি বলেছিলেন, এবার ফলাফল অনুকূলে আনার কৌশল শিখতে হবে। আমাদের মধ্যে ক্ষমতা রয়েছে। তাই জয়ের এতটা কাছাকাছি আসতে পারছি। এখন চাপের পরিস্থিতি মোকাবিলার করার উপায় রপ্ত করতে হবে। সহবাগ বলেছেন, বিদেশের মাটিতে কোনও সিরিজে একটা ম্যাচ জেতা তো অনেক আগেই আমরা করেছিলাম। ওই সময় আমরা অস্ট্রেলিয়া, ইংল্যান্ড, দক্ষিণ আফ্রিকায় সিরিজ ড্র করেছি। কিন্তু সিরিজ জিততে পারিনি। কিন্তু ২০১১ থেকে ২০১৪ আমরা বিদেশে সিরিজ হেরেছি। আমাদের সময়ে এমন ব্যাটসম্যান ছিল, যারা রান করতে পারত। কিন্তু এমন বোলার ছিল না যারা ২০ উইকেট নিতে পারে। তো সেই সমস্যা তো আজও রয়েই গিয়েছে। আজ বোলার আছে তো এমন ব্যাটসম্যান নেই যারা রান করতে পারে। এই সিরিজে কত বার আমরা ৮ ইনিংসে স্কোরবোর্ডে ৩০০ বা তার বেশি রান করতে পেরেছি? ব্যাটসম্যানরা বোর্ডে ৪০০ রান তুলতে পারলে তবেই টেস্ট ম্যাচ জেতা যায়। আমরা চেষ্টা করছি, তবে সীমার ওই পারে যেতে পারছি না, পরের সিরিজে চেষ্টা করব, এ সব কথা বলা তো খুবই সহজ। এরকম কথা তো এক দশক ধরে শুনে আসছি।

Vivo announces V11 with in-display fingerprint sensor and yet another notch shape
Vivo has announced the V11, a new phone bound for India. The V11 follows the V9 from earlier this year, and combines elements from Vivo’s X21 and sister company Oppo’s new F9.
Like the F9, the V11 has a new slimmed-down design for the display notch; while Oppo calls its version the “Waterdrop Screen,” Vivo’s take is called the “Halo Fullview Display.” The shape is actually a little different on the V11, with a more acute angle on the curve that stays closer to the circle of the selfie camera lens. I’d say it’s the smallest notch I’ve seen yet.
The other feature that helps Vivo maximize screen-to-body ratio is the in-display fingerprint sensor, which at this point is basically the company’s trademark. It works the same way as on other...

Canon announces EOS R full-frame mirrorless camera
Canon has announced its first full-frame mirrorless camera and lens system, both called EOS R. Coming shortly after rival Nikon announced its own full-frame mirrorless cameras, the announcement of the EOS R means both Japanese camera giants are now taking high-end mirrorless seriously after years of putting out half-hearted responses to the likes of Sony and Fujifilm.
As previously leaked, the EOS R camera is built around a 30.3-megapixel full-frame sensor with an ISO range of 100-40,000. The sensor uses dual-pixel autofocus and is paired with Canon’s DIGIC 8 image processor. There’s a fully articulated touchscreen as well as an OLED electronic viewfinder and an information panel on the top of the camera.

Netflix and YouTube are most throttled mobile apps by US carriers, new study says
Since the demise of net neutrality, US telecoms have increased the amount of throttling they impose on customers trying to watch mobile video through services like Netflix and YouTube, according to new research from a group of researchers at Northeastern University and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The study, the findings of which were published first by Bloomberg today, reveals the extent to which companies like AT&T and Verizon have taken advantage of lax government regulation under President Donald Trump to limit data speeds for customers.

How Amazon and eBay became a tax haven for Chinese sellers
For years, Amazon customers in Europe have enjoyed the shopping giant’s ability to deliver everything from best-selling books to phone chargers within days, if not hours, at prices that brick-and-mortar retailers often cannot match. Much like in the United States, online sales are eating up physical retail market shares. By 2023, it’s predicted that 21 percent of all non-grocery retail sales in Europe’s biggest economies will be online, up from just 13 percent last year. But, increasingly, the large digital platforms, which also operate as marketplaces for third-party sellers, have come under fire for helping foreign retailers skirt taxes.

Apple reportedly not planning to add in-display fingerprint sensor on upcoming iPhones
Apple went all-in on Face ID with the iPhone X last year, excising the company’s long-time Touch ID fingerprint sensor in favor of the new, facial recognition feature. Don’t expect that to change anytime in the future, either, with supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claiming in his latest research note that Apple won’t be adding in-display Touch ID fingerprint sensors to both this year’s or next year’s iPhone models, via 9to5Mac.
According to Kuo, limiting factors in Apple’s decision have to do with the fact that the current crop of sensors have more limited support for OLED screens (which Apple uses in its iPhone X models), along with the sensors only working in a specific location instead of the whole screen.

Varma: What Virat Kohli Should Consider About the Machinery of His Brain
George Bernard Shaw once wrote a play called Man and Superman. You could steal that title and use it for a film on Virat Kohli’s life right now. As a batsman, he is in superhero territory: he plays every match on a different, easier pitch than his colleagues do, and has established himself as an all-time great. English conditions were once held to be his Kryptonyte, but he’s put that to rest with his sublime batting in this series. Leaving aside costume requirements—he still wears his underwear inside his pants—he is every bit a batting superhero.from Top Cricketnext News- News18.com https://ift.tt/2CvZ0Ar

Kohli's Captaincy Leaves Gavaskar Unimpressed, Harbhajan Critical of Ashwin
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that is only to be expected that “questions will be asked” about Virat Kohli’s captaincy after India’s series loss in England. While Kohli has laid to rest his demons from India's previous Test series in England by amassing over 500 runs, his decision making as captain hasn’t met with the approval of several former players, and Gavaskar has become only the latest to join the chorus.from Top Cricketnext News- News18.com https://ift.tt/2NOmvFM

Brie Larson Teases Big Captain Marvel Reveal For Tomorrow
Is Marvel Studios on the verge of releasing the first teaser trailer for Captain Marvel?
Back in August, it was reported that Kevin Feige and Co. had earmarked October as a potential release window for the first-look sizzle reel. But it may be with us sooner than expected.
Taking to Twitter tonight, star Brie Larson Tweeted, “Hey @EW I’m bored. Wanna break the Internet tomorrow?” Replying back, the outlet wrote, “Yes! Meet us here at noon ET. We’ve got something Marvel-ous in mind.” Of course, fans have now been sent into a frenzy, expecting the first trailer to drop, but it should be noted that nothing specific was mentioned.
Remember, we haven’t even seen an official photo or a poster yet, and that type of stuff often comes before a full-out trailer. As such, we imagine that we’ll be getting our first proper look at Larson in costume via a still rather than some footage. But who knows? A trailer’s been rumored to be on the way for a while now, so maybe we shouldn’t completely rule it out just yet.
Whatever it ends up being, you can bet that we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for it, as Captain Marvel is shaping up to be a massive release for the studio and a game-changer in every sense of the word. For one, the titular hero has been championed as the MCU’s strongest ever character, while there have been rumblings that Larson will become the franchise’s new figurehead for Phase 4 and beyond – presumably at the expense of Tony Stark, whose time at the forefront of Marvel’s cinematic universe appears to be on the wane.
Circling back to Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s flick, though, which is scheduled for release on March 8th, 2019, Captain Marvel is the next Marvel movie in line for a theatrical run, and as soon as Entertainment Weekly pulls back the lid on whatever it is they have for us, we’ll be sure to let you know.
