Australia humiliated as Bangladesh make history with crushing Test victory
Bangladesh win Test match on Australian soil for first time
Cameron Green century not enough to stave off nine-wicket defeat
Bangladesh have handed Australia one of their most humiliating and crushing Test defeats in 149 years, despite a career-saving century by Cameron Green. akupunkturabielsko.pl
The visitors bowled Australia out for 284 in their second innings in Darwin and polished off the 57 runs required for victory for the loss of one wicket to secure their first Test win on Australian soil.

In spite of a 2-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, the new head coach at St James’ Park showed signs he is on the right path, and is closing in on Benfica’s Amar Dedic
Reasons to be fearful or cause to be cheerful? Newcastle fans among a crowd in excess of 39,000 at St James’ Park on Saturday had much to debate as they headed home from a slightly underwhelming 2-1 friendly defeat by Bayer Leverkusen.
The bad news is that a suddenly youthful team still coming to terms with life without this summer’s departed stars, Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimarães, look more than a little undercooked before Liverpool’s visit on Premier League duty next Sunday.

On an August 13 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, actor Matthew McConaughey spoke about almost playing Joel in HBO's The Last of Us TV series, and why he ultimately turned down the role.
McConaughey said he was in contact with showrunner Craig Mazin about playing the part, and that he seriously considered taking it up. "I wasn't really acting at that point," McConaughey explained. "I was doing more writing and looking at leadership roles in life." Even with that caveat he was still tempted: "It was really good, I was really excited."
At least part of the problem seems to have been that Mazin had a tough act to follow: McConaughey is a prolific Hollywood actor, and has lent his voice to TV animation here and there, but his only lead role on a TV series? The legendary first season of Nic Pizzolatto's noir anthology, True Detective.
"We pulled off a real coup with True Detective, at a time when [TV] series were not something that actors like myself or Woody Harrelson would hop over and go do," said McConaughey. "That one succeeded in a real fashion. Last of Us was really good, it just wasn't for me at the time. I don't know what would have been for me at the time."
McConaughey also expressed trepidation over the potential long-term commitment required by a successful TV show: "In success, this is something you'll be doing for years and years and years."
Maybe not so much with Joel in The Last of Us, given, uh, spoilers. The role likely still demands an obligation through flashbacks and the like, though. True Detective S1 made me a McConaughey sardaukar for life, but even for me, him passing on this role doesn't seem like a great loss for human flourishing. By all accounts, Pedro Pascal is killing it.
