NEW ZEALAND V AUSTRALIA, 2021 by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on Share Tweet Maxwell cracked a breezy, 31-ball 70 © Getty After two uneven performances that allowed New Zealand to take an early 2-0 lead, Australia hit back with an all-round clinical display to keep themselves alive and kicking in the five-match series. Pleasingly for the visitors, the match-turning performances came from Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell and Ashton Agar - the three players who have made a less than desirable start to this series. Entertaining fifties from the first two led Australia to a total of 208 for 4 before Ashton Agar's 6 for 30 derailed the home side's valiant start in chase. The end of Finch's prolonged rut Tim Southee nearly extended Aaron Finch's recent, unending misery. The first ball that the Aussie skipper faced, he failed to judge the subtle inward movement and got struck on the front pad. Vociferous appeals were followed by a … [Read more...] about Maxwell and Agar keep series alive

In the trendier parts of Berlin, cargo bikes are the rage. Locals use the bicycles, which have a wheelbarrow-sized box attached at the front, to do the weekly shop or ferry children around. Because they cut carbon-dioxide emissions, local authorities are subsidising the craze. But the well-intentioned schemes look pricey when you consider how much carbon is abated. One scheme costs the city €370,000 (NZ$613,000) but is expected to reduce emissions by only seven tonnes a year. That works out at over €50,000 (NZ$80,000) per tonne abated. The equivalent figure for schemes that support the sale of low-carbon heating systems, by contrast, is €200 (NZ$330) per tonne. Over 100 countries and 400 cities (including Berlin) have promised to get to net-zero emissions by 2050 or before. Investors and regulators are encouraging companies to do the same. To meet these goals policymakers and bosses will have to pick from a menu of policies, from building wind farms to subsidising low-carbon jet … [Read more...] about What is the cheapest way to cut carbon?

The NBA season is in full swing, and we will be here each weekday with the NBC Sports daily roundup Three Things to Know — everything you might have missed in the Association, every key moment from the night before in one place. 1) Nikola Jokic makes MVP case while Antetokounmpo looks on The two-time reigning MVP was on the court and put up numbers: Giannis Antetokounmpo had 27 points on 10-of-15 shooting plus pulled down eight rebounds. He was not the best player on the court and he was not the guy who looked like an MVP. Nikola Jokic has been performing on that level all season long, and he made his case Tuesday night: 37 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds for his 50th career triple-double. Behind Jokic, the Nuggets routed the Bucks 128-97. The only other center with more than 50 career triple-doubles? Wilt Chamberlain. Anytime a player gets mentioned in the record books with Chamberlain, he’s doing something right. Jokic leads a Denver offense that has been top … [Read more...] about Three things to know: Nikola Jokic makes MVP case while Antetokounmpo looks on
