| England coach Bayliss ready for 'toughest' selection talk Posted: LONDON (AFP) - Trevor Bayliss believes he will be involved in the most difficult selection meeting of his two years as England coach when he and the panel meet to discuss the squad for next weeks first Test against South Africa.Injuries to key bowlers remain an issue, with the new-ball pair of James Anderson and Stuart Broad both having fitness concerns.Meanwhile there is a chance that former captain Alastair Cook could be saddled with another opening partner following Haseeb Hameeds loss of form, with the Lancashire rising star yet to score a first-class fifty since returning from the tour of India.But Australian coach Bayliss insisted he was heartened by the options at his disposal in the run-up to Saturdays squad announcement.In the two years Ive been here it will be the toughest selection meeting that Ive had, said Bayliss at an event organised by series sponsors Investec in London on Thursday. Its a good problem to have when youre struggling to know which guys to put in.Someone like (Surreys) Mark Stoneman has been doing well at the level below. Does Joe Root go back to three and we put an extra middle order player in?Where does Jonny Bairstow bat? This is all up for discussion and well come up with an answer.Broad is struggling with a bruised left heel but England hope he will be able to play for Nottinghamshire against Surrey in the One-Day Cup final at Lords on Saturday as a way of proving his fitness for the first of a four-Test series.Well know more tonight (Thursday) before our selection meeting in the morning, Bayliss said of Broad.Hes been training the last couple of days when weve been putting him through more of a test and if he comes through that hell play in the one-day final as a test for the Test match.Anderson has recently returned from a groin problem, while Jake Ball (knee strain), a county team-mate of Broad, joined Chris Woakes (side strain) on the injured list on Thursday.While Hameed has been searching for runs, Cook has been in superb form for Essex, scoring three centuries since standing down as Test skipper, a position now occupied by Root, for whom next Thursdays match at Lords will mark the start of his captaincy reign.Its great that after giving away the captaincy hes still got that hunger for runs and it was great to see him making another hundred yesterday (Wednesday), said Bayliss.Im sure that as an ex-England captain it will be bit of a juggling act for him in terms of how much he gets involved.I know that he and Joe Root get on really well. Cook is very well respected in the team and Im sure if he feels something needs to be said, he will.England will have to decide whether to give Gary Ballance another recall following the Yorkshire batsmans fine start to the season.The one thing that Gary has always had in his favour is that he is mentally tough, said Bayliss. Thats the reason why he is able to come back from being dropped a couple of times and why hes been able to score a lot of runs for Yorkshire this year.Theres no reason why someone like that cant come back and a make a success of international cricket.  |
| Du Plessis in line for Lord's as Philander misses Lions match Posted: LONDON (AFP) - South Africa captain Faf du Plessis could return to England in time to lead the side for next weeks first Test at Lords after the birth of his first child.Du Plessis had returned home to be with his wife, Imari, putting a question mark against his participation in the first of a four-Test series that starts on July 6.But Thursday saw du Plessis announce the birth of their child by tweeting: Our biggest blessing yet came in a small package. So very grateful.Opening batsman Dean Elgar led South Africa in their three-day warm-up match against the second-string England Lions in Worcester which started on Thursday.If du Plessis does return in time for the first Test, opener Heino Kuhn, who replaced Stephen Cook in the squad, would like be South Africas lone debutant at Lords.South Africa made 58 for one on a first day at Worcester where rain meant only 20 overs play was possible.Elgar fell for five, caught behind by Sam Billings off George Garton. Kuhn was 30 not out and Hashim Amla unbeaten on 16.Before play started, experienced South Africa paceman Vernon Philander was ruled out with the right ankle injury he suffered while playing for English county Sussex two weeks ago.Nevertheless, a South Africa statement said Philander was making satisfactory progress.South Africa team manager Dr Mohammed Moosajee added: Vernon is in the final stages of his rehab following the injury to his right ankle two weeks ago.He is building on to bowl at full pace by the end of the week to prove his availability for selection for the first Test match against England at Lords next week.  |
| Lanning century trumps Atapattu's 178 as Australia win again Posted: LONDON (AFP) - Australia captain Meg Lanning made a superb century as the reigning champions made it two wins out of two at the womens World Cup with a tournament-record chase to beat Sri Lanka by eight wickets at Bristol on Thursday despite a stunning hundred from Chamari Atapattu.The Sri Lanka number three made an unbeaten 178 -- the third highest individual score in a womens one-day international -- in a seemingly competitive total of 257 for nine.Atapattus innings featured 22 fours and six sixes.But poor fielding and catching meant Sri Lankas spin-dominated attack rarely looked like defending such a score, with Lanning making 152 not out -- her 11th ODI century a record for womens matches at this level.Lanning ended the match in style, hitting a six to bring up her 150 and seal victory for Australia with nearly six overs to spare.It was their second dominant success of the tournament, after an opening eight-wicket win over the West Indies.But Atapattu received the player of the match award and an admiring Lanning said: Once she got going, it was hard to stop her. We couldnt stop her in the end, anyway. We know she likes to hit the ball hard and straight. We tried a whole lot of plans but none of that worked -- a very special innings.Lanning added: In the innings break, I said we need someone to get a big score. It was good that I managed to do that.Sri Lanka captain Inoka Ranaweera had mixed emotions, saying: I think we need to build partnerships and play in the middle, so I am disappointed. I am proud of Chamari, I am very happy. For our next game against England, we will look to make fewer mistakes.India, who stunned hosts England with a 35-run victory, also made it two wins from two as they overpowered the West Indies by seven wickets at Taunton on Thursday.Opener Smriti Mandhana got to three figures with an unbeaten 106 following her 90 against England.She added 108 runs for the third wicket with captain Mithali Raj (46) after India were in trouble at 33 for two chasing a modest 184.Smriti played well for her hundred, it was a crucial innings she played, said Raj.Indias spinners made life so tough for the West Indies that even the usually dynamic Deandra Dottin -- holder of the fastest century in womens T20Is -- could manage a mere seven off 48 balls.The West Indies slumped to 91 for six before some late-order hitting boosted the total.We didnt get the batting right in the middle, admitted West Indies captain Stafanie (attn eds: correct) Taylor. We have the batters to do it but I think its up to the batters to take more responsibility in their actions.All the eight teams involved play each other once, with the top four contesting the semi-finals.The final takes place at Lords on July 23.  |
| KSA releases Iranian fishermen held for over a year Posted: TEHRAN (AFP) - Saudi Arabia released five Iranian fishermen held for over a year, news agencies in Iran reported Thursday, in a rare sign of conciliation between the regional rivals.The five fishermen were said to have been in custody since they strayed into Saudi waters in May 2016.Two fishermen from Genaveh (in southwestern Iran), who are father and son, have been freed and are returning to Genaveh, said Abdolali Sayyadi, head of the local branch of the Red Crescent NGO, according to the IRIB news agency.Three other fishermen from Bushehr (a nearby Iranian port), who were freed by Saudi Arabia, are returning to Bushehr by a boat sent to them from the Foroozan oil field, he added.These fishermen were arrested in May last year by Saudi marine guards when they unknowingly entered Saudi coastal waters.The release comes just a week after Iran demanded that three other fishermen detained by Saudi Arabia earlier this month be freed.Riyadh claimed they were members of Irans elite Revolutionary Guards aboard an explosives-laden boat heading to an oil platform in the Gulf and planning to carry out a terrorist attack.Iran denied the allegations and said another fisherman had been killed by the Saudi coastguard at the time of the arrests.The two countries, who severed diplomatic ties last year, accuse each other of seeking to dominate the Middle East and are on opposing sides in several regional conflicts.  |
| Instagram enlists Artificial Intelligence to filter nasty comments Posted: SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Instagram on Thursday said it is using artificial intelligence to filter nasty comments and spam at the popular Facebook-owned photo-sharing service.The move comes as Facebook and other internet companies work to curb trolls, hate speech and the spread of violent ideology on their platforms.Many of you have told us that toxic comments discourage you from enjoying Instagram and expressing yourself freely, co-founder and chief executive Kevin Systrom said in a blog post.To help, weve developed a filter that will block certain offensive comments on posts and in live video.Written remarks will otherwise appear as usual at Instagram, and users can opt to turn off the new filters.The offensive-comment filter will launch first in English, with other languages eventually added, according to Systrom.Instagram said that the filter scanning for spam is designed to work in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.Our team has been training our systems for some time to recognize certain types of offensive and spammy comments so you never have to see them, Systrom said.The tools will improve over time.Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube this week announced the launch of an anti-terror partnership aimed at thwarting the spread of extremist content online.The Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism intends to share engineering, research and knowledge to help continue to make our hosted consumer services hostile to terrorists and violent extremists, the companies said.Each of the technology giants has been working individually to prevent its platforms or services from being used to promote or spread extremist views.  |
| Trump slammed over 'facelift' outburst against TV host Posted: WASHINGTON (AFP) - Donald Trump unleashed a brutal personal attack Thursday on respected female television host Mika Brzezinski, sparking an instant backlash, in the latest stunning salvo in the presidents ongoing war with the media.Trumps Twitter outburst -- in which he describes the journalist bleeding badly from a facelift -- appears to have been triggered by Brzezinskis sharp comments during the morning show she co-hosts with Joe Scarborough on the left-leaning MSNBC network.I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (dont watch anymore), wrote Trump, an avid cable news watcher.Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Years Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no he tweeted.In recent days Trump has escalated his attacks on US media outlets -- which he accuses of peddling fake news about him -- singling out CNN over the retraction of a story about his administrations supposed links with Russia, but also assailing rival cable networks, the New York Times and the Washington Post.But the vulgarity of his latest assault triggered a torrent of criticism including within his own party.Inappropriate. Undignified. Unpresidential, tweeted Jeb Bush, Trumps rival for the White House nomination last year, while the top Republican on Capitol Hill, House Speaker Paul Ryan, conceded the presidents comments were not appropriate.What were trying to do around here is improve the tone, the civility of the debate. And this obviously doesnt help do that, Ryan told a news conference.Out of his mindBrzezinski -- the daughter of the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security advisor to Jimmy Carter -- herself appeared uncowed. She responded with a post of her own, a photo of a young child reaching for Cheerios cereal.Made for little hands, the caption read -- a schoolyard taunt that has been leveled against the image-conscious Trump since the days of his candidacy.In her Thursday show, Brzezinski suggested the president was psychologically unhinged.Everybody in Washington, in the administration, needs to look at this from... a point of view where theyre not lobotomized because youre sitting in there and youre so scared of him, and you think you need to suck up to the president.If a boss at NBC, MSNBCs parent company, started tweeting wildly about peoples appearances, bullying people, talking about people in the competition, lying every day, undermining his managers, throwing them under the (bus) -- that person would be thrown out.There would be concerns that the person who runs the company is out of his mind.Early in the 2016 campaign the Morning Joe hosts were accused of being too friendly with Trump, a frequent guest on air.The relationship however soured last August, when Trump tweeted: Some day, when things calm down, Ill tell the real story of @JoeNBC and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, @morningmika. Two clownsBrzezinski, 50, is engaged to marry her co-host Scarborough, 54, a Republican former congressman.Twitter ablazeMSNBC sprang to Brzezinskis defense.Its a sad day for America when the president spends his time bullying, lying and spewing petty personal attacks instead of doing his job, the networks public relations office wrote.Scarborough likewise rallied behind his fiancee, re-tweeting a post from NBC spokesman Mark Kornblau that read: Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States.White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders was quick to defend her boss.I dont think that the presidents ever been someone who gets attacked and doesnt push back, Huckabee Sanders told Fox News.There have been an outrageous number of personal attacks, not just to him but to frankly everyone around him ... This is a president who fights fire with fire and certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by liberal media or liberal elites in Hollywood or anywhere else.But at least half a dozen Republican lawmakers judged the president had crossed a line.Please just stop, wrote Senator Ben Sasse on Twitter. This isnt normal and its beneath the dignity of your office.This is not okay, agreed Kansas lawmaker Lynn Jenkins.The Trump-Brzezinski feud lit up the internet, where critics were reminded of Trumps notorious attack last August on Fox reporter Megyn Kelly, who he said had blood coming out of her wherever after she challenged him in a campaign debate.Harry Potter author and noted Trump critic J.K. Rowling took inspiration from a revered past president in writing: Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a mans character, give him power. Abraham Lincoln.  |
