...From the early 1990s, Australia's batsmen realized that many of the fast-scoring techniques used in one-day cricket could be applied to Tests, and as a group routinely began to amass 350-plus runs a day. Other countries copied them, to the point where the drawn match?the somnolent one, anyway, that blight on the game?has all but vanished. As Australia rose, then soared, so did the notion that Test teams should have a coach to complement the captain in finetuning their performance. Between 1986 and '96, Bob Simpson was crucial in taking Australia from the bottom...
...were on the wrong side a few more times than we would have liked on Saturday, but we figured that lake out on Sunday.” But the Hood Trophy wasn’t the only thing the Crimson dominated over the weekend. The one-day Harvard Invitational on Sunday saw the Crimson complete its first two-win weekend of the year.

Pedaling with a bum hip, FLOYD LANDIS, 30, a Mennonite raised in Pennsylvania, didn't seem like the guy to bet on, especially after he dealt with a devastating one-day drop from first place to 11th (because of a loss of energy, known as a "bonk") by having a beer. It must have been a stout, because Landis, who suffers from a degenerative hip condition, returned the next day to set a blistering pace through the Alps, gaining third place...
...freshman, it was great for her to contribute that way,” Crimson coach Kevin Rhoads said of Bode’s promising start to the season. Harvard set a new high-water mark for itself in the event, finishing third and breaking the Crimson record for one-day scoring by nine strokes. After limping to seventh at the Princeton Invitational the following week, the team regained its form in the next event, tying for third out of a field of 10 teams at the Yale Invitational. The Crimson continued its winning ways, breaking the Harvard one-day scoring...
