James Valiant
James Valiant (17 July 1884 – 28 October 1917) was an English cricketer. Valiant's batting and bowling styles are unknown. He was born in Wavertree, Liverpool, Lancashire. The son of a Liverpool butcher, Valiant played Second XI cricket for his native Lancashire in 1908, before moving south to Essex. Valiant later made his first-class debut for Essex against Northamptonshire at the County Ground, Northampton, in the 1912 County Championship. Northamptonshire won the toss and elected to bat, making 278 in their first-innings, during which Valiant bowled four wicketless overs. In response, Essex made just 60 all out, with Valiant ending the innings not out on 0.

Essex lost the match by an innings and 137 runs. This was his only major appearance for Essex. Valiant served in the Roya ...

Nemesis
In ancient Greek religion, Nemesis, also called Rhamnousia or Rhamnusia ( grc, Ῥαμνουσία, Rhamnousía, the goddess of Rhamnous), is the goddess who enacts retribution against those who succumb to hubris, arrogance before the gods.Ammianus Marcellinus 14.11.25 Etymology The name ''Nemesis'' is related to the Greek word νέμειν ''némein'', meaning "to give what is due", from Proto-Indo-European ''nem-'' "distribute". Origin Divine retribution is a major theme in the Hellenic world view, providing the unifying theme of the tragedies of Sophocles and many other literary works. Hesiod states: "Also deadly Nyx bore Nemesis an affliction to mortals subject to death" (''Theogony'', 223, though perhaps an interpolated line). Nemesis appears in a still more concrete form in a fragment of the epic ''Cypria''.
