Cricket
Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee ...

Allison Rice (cyclist)
Jane Rice (April 30, 1913 – March 2, 2003) was an American science fiction and horror writer. Her fiction debut was with "The Dream" in the July 1940 issue of ''Unknown'', edited by the legendary sf editor John W. Campbell. During the war she published 10 stories in ''Unknown''. Campbell purchased her first and only novel, ''Lucy'', in 1943, and was holding it in inventory for a future issue when ''Unknown'' suddenly ceased publication late in 1943. Street & Smith held the manuscript for several years but after the war it vanished from their files, and Rice had failed to preserve a carbon copy. Despite efforts to trace it on the part of scholars and editors it has not been located. Her stories in ''Unknown'' were well received. Her slyly sensual werewolf story "The Refugee" from the October 1943 issue was selected by Campbell for his best of anthology ''From Unknown Worlds'' (1946) and it was also anthologized in ''Rivals of Weird Tales'' (1990) and the Library of America's ' ...

Alexandria Nicholls
Alexandria ( or ; ar, ٱلْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةُ ; grc-gre, Αλεξάνδρεια, Alexándria) is the second largest city in Egypt, and the largest city on the Mediterranean coast. Founded in by Alexander the Great, Alexandria grew rapidly and became a major centre of Hellenic civilisation, eventually replacing Memphis, in present-day Greater Cairo, as Egypt's capital. During the Hellenistic period, it was home to the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which ranked among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as well as the storied Library of Alexandria. Today, the library is reincarnated in the disc-shaped, ultramodern Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Its 15th-century seafront Qaitbay Citadel is now a museum. Called the "Bride of the Mediterranean" by locals, Alexandria is a popular tourist destination and an important industrial centre due to its natural gas and oil pipelines from Suez. The city extends about along the northern coast of Egypt, and is the largest city on th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Women's Tour Down Under (known for sponsorship reasons as the Santos Women's Tour Down Under) is an annual professional road bicycle racing for women in Australia. It is held in conjunction with the Tour Down Under. From 2016, it was rated as UCI 2.2, from 2018 as UCI 2.1., from 2020 Women's UCI ProSeries and from 2022 UCI Women's World Tour.

This eventually formed part of the women's National Road Series (2015), with these races variously operating under guises deriving from the parent event's name. In 2016, organisers developed a new UCI-classified event that carried the 'Women's Tour' name, and was ranked as a new UCI 2.2. stage race with international teams invited to compete. The event considers the 'Women's Tour Down Under' as having started in 2016. Originally ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
