Trent Boult, Tim Southee Rested For ODIs Against Sri Lanka

Dunedin: New Zealand have left out their two main strike bowlers and selected one new batsman in the squad named Tuesday for the opening one-day matches against Sri Lanka.
Canterbury's Henry Nicholls, a 24-year-old left-hander, is in line to make his debut in the first ODI on December 26. (New Zealand Beat Sri Lanka in First Test)

"He's a player who has class and a player who we want to expose to the international scene sooner rather than later," New Zealand coach Mike Hesson said.
"Through the A campaign he was exceptional, certainly the outstanding player in all forms of the game."
Nicholls scored 210 for New Zealand A against Sri Lanka A in a four-day match two months ago.
The squad named for the first three of five ODI matches against Sri Lanka excludes fast bowler Trent Boult who will be rested after a heavy Test schedule.
Fellow new-ball bowler Tim Southee will sit out the first two games after leading the attack in the two Tests against Sri Lanka.
New Zealand won the first Test by 122 runs in Dunedin on Monday with the second Test starting in Hamilton on Friday.
ODI squad: Brendon McCullum (capt), Doug Bracewell, Martin Guptill, Matt Henry, Mitchell McClenaghan, Adam Milne, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Ross Taylor, Kane Williamson, George Worker.
Southee will replace Henry after the second match.

The first stethoscope

René Laennec, a French doctor and inventor was born 235 years ago today, and Google has marked his birthday with a Doodle. Dr Laennec's importance to modern medicine was guaranteed by his invention of the very first stethoscope in 1816. Here are five things you (probably) didn't know about him : 1. Dr Laennec's stethoscope bears little semblance to the modern stethoscope. Unlike those used today, Dr Laennec's stethoscope was not a set of ear pieces connected by a plastic tube to a chest piece.

Those familiar with Lenovo's Note series might get puzzled with the addition of the Vibe moniker to the name, especially given the success of Lenovo K3 Note last year.

The handset was the third most searched phone in 2015, based on Google's release data for India , and the company had sold around 1.2 million units. W...
