West Indies cricket victim of excessive politics, says Dwayne Bravo

 

Former captain Dwayne Bravo has criticized the West Indies Cricket Board over its strained relationship with players and a lack of facilities for the sport in the Caribbean.
Bravo, who will play with the Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Twenty20 league, said "too much politics is killing our cricket," and added "we've got the players to be up there with the best in the world but there's a lot of things going on."
Bravo was stripped of the West Indies one-day captaincy a year ago and then was left out of the World Cup squad. He retired from Test cricket in January.

He is the older brother of Darren Bravo, who was on the team which lost the first Test to Australia last weekend in Hobart by an innings and 212 runs.
"Those in charge have to look into themselves," Dwayne Bravo said. "We don't have proper grounds, proper nets or a proper academy. All these things are a part of our downfall."
Players went on strike and quit a one-day tour of India in October 2014. West Indies' coach has been suspended over a dispute with selectors and many top players have chosen lucrative Twenty20 contracts overseas rather than play for the West Indies.
"The relationship between players, board members and management staff - it needs to get stronger and tighter," Dwayne Bravo said. "They need to have a lot more honesty."

The first stethoscope

By
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. His stethoscopes were simple cylinders made from wood and metal. The doctor using it would simply place it directly over the area in question and listen at the other end. 2. His first stethoscope was a rolled up piece of paper Described in his  1819 treatise  on this device, Dr Laennec invented the stethoscope while treating a young woman suffering from symptoms of heart disease. 3. The stethoscope was not his only contribution to medical science I...

Lenovo Vibe K4 Note First Impressions

By
Lenovo has kicked off 2016 with the new Vibe K4 Note smartphone. 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. Head of Product and Marketing at Lenovo Smartphones in India, Anuj Sharma, clarified that the new K4 Note has been integrated with the Vibe series of smartphones. While we are not sure if this has anything to do with the rumours that Lenovo may discontinue its Vibe range to prevent cannibalisation of Motorola sales, Sharma yet again asserted "Vibe" range is not going anywhere . Lenovo at the Delhi launch event on Tuesday also showed some statistics to show how popular the Lenovo K3 Note really is in the country. 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...
