US Policy Editor Charles Sauer has a new piece in Real Clear Markets looking at Senator Patrick Leahy’s ill advised group of patent bills. He writes: “I sometimes find myself humming or listening tunes from the 90s while doing things around the house or bopping down the road, reminding myself of a simpler time before auto-tune had become po[CENSORED]r. These songs are so out of date and unpo[CENSORED]r now that my kids roll their eyes and make fun of me instead of joining in on the nostalgia. However, we still have Senators running our country who were first elected two decades before even these outdated songs were produced. But instead of rolling our eyes at Senators we often hold them in reverence – and forget that they might be out of touch and maybe not the best people to decide how innovation should develop in the U.S. The primary culprit – who likely still thinks that the Beatles music is just noise- is departing Sen. Patrick Leahy. The distinguished Senator from Vermont has served in the U.S. Senate since 1975 and is currently in his last year in the upper chamber. He has had a distinguished career and is one of the few Senators in the modern chamber who truly represents what the Senate was designed to represent: intellectual debate. But that doesn’t make him right more often. That doesn’t mean that we can’t challenge his decisions. And, most importantly, it doesn’t mean that members of the Senate should go along with the retiring Senator as a final gesture of respect. In fact, respect in the Senate might be to have a real debate with the Senator. We must force him to the floor to defend his ideas. Defending his ideas is going to be a long road for the Senator who is currently supporting a bevy of bills that might get attached to the “must pass” National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Each and every one of his bills – Patent Trial and Appeal Board Reform Act, Patent Examination and Quality Improvement Act, and the Pride in Patent Ownership Act – run counter to the only explicitly named right that is actually in the Constitution – patent ownership. Each and every one of the patent bills that he supports harms inventors and therefore innovation in the U.S. The biggest culprit is the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) Reform Act. This bill was renamed from the “Restoring the American Invents Act,” after the name was widely ridiculed because the Senator himself had sold the original legislation creating PTAB as way to make defending a patent easier. He has since been proved incorrect, with one judge calling the panel a patent death squad, but even worse his new ideas for “reform” each make the current problems worse. While the American Invents Act was at least intended to help inventors – Sen. Leahy can’t even make that claim about this new update. The PTAB Reform Act would limit PTAB judges’ discretion to deny petitions, make it easier to appeal adverse rulings at the PTAB, and even give government agencies the right to use this kangaroo court. In other words it takes a panel that has been weaponized by infringers and allows government agencies to challenge patents – originally granted to the inventors by the government – to take away this valuable property from inventors. It doesn’t stop there though – each of Sen. Leahy’s four patent bills of the apocalypse attack inventors. They make it harder on inventors. They provide more hurdles to jump over. They give infringers more tools and while taking them away from inventors. And, if this just affected a few small inventors of consumer goods, or a few large corporations that can afford it, then this wouldn’t be a problem. But, changes to the patent system hurt the whole innovation ecosystem. The changes that Sen. Leahy has proposed will provide pause to investors who become less likely to recover their investments, they make it harder for garage inventor to risk their livelihood to create the next big companies, and they provide incentives to infringers – that even provide a second generation of problems.” link:https://uspolicy.org/sauer-the-constitution-protects-patents-lets-abide-the-constitution/

Warning: Some people may find images in this story upsetting. A woman convicted of animal abuse in South Australia is now living under a new name in New Zealand and is, once again, under investigation for mistreating animals. By Sunday's Mava Moayyed The SPCA confirmed it’s looking into Lena Duncan for alleged breaches of the Animal Welfare Act. Around 17 of Duncan’s horses were seized by the SPCA in August. In an exclusive interview with Sunday, Duncan denies any wrongdoing. "I’m a person to live with animals. My animals are regarded as a family," she said. Duncan is known as Dora Ryan in Australia, where in 2020, she was convicted on 33 charges of animal ill-treatment by the RSPCA. Lena Duncan's horse, Indigo Violet. (Source: RSPCA) She accused the Australian authorities of unjustly taking her animals. "I normally call them killers and animal abusers, which they are, and thieves which they acted like with me," she said. Duncan fled the country before she could be sentenced. A warrant remains active for her arrest in Australia. She admits changing her name from Dora Ryan to Lena Duncan shortly before arriving in New Zealand but denies it was to avoid detection or suspicion at the border. Sunday understands Duncan brought around 26 horses from Australia, all of which passed the Ministry for Primary Industry's veterinary assessments. MPI would not comment, citing the ongoing investigation by the SPCA. Duncan also brought over an unknown number of dogs to New Zealand. She’s been living on a remote farm in Northland since 2020 and has been active on Facebook under the name LH Billy. In her interview with Sunday’s Mava Moayyed, Duncan admits to breeding and selling animals in New Zealand despite her conviction in Australia. Lena Duncan on Facebook as LH Billy (Source: Supplied) She’s a woman with multiple aliases, but what’s known for sure is that in Australia, Lena Duncan went by the name Dora Ryan. She bred animals on a secluded farm in Baroota, three hours north of Adelaide. South Australia RSPCA chief inspector Andrea Lewis says there have been 18 complaints made against Duncan since 2012. "She had a lot of animals in her care and initially, we were giving her advice about proper care and veterinary treatment. I think things got out of control," she said. In May 2017, the RSPCA raided Duncan’s Baroota property. Inspectors counted 75 dogs, 45 horses, 25 chickens and seven sheep. Lena's Baroota property (Source: RSPCA) "There was a multitude of old rotting bones, the water had algae growing in it. It just looked really revolting." Lewis says Duncan had too many animals on the property to adequately care for them. The dog pens were "covered in faeces" and there was insufficient bedding. The RSPCA seized 23 Pomeranian dogs, four German Shepherds and more than 20 chickens. One German Shepherd, named Heyley, was found lying in the dirt outside, unable or unwilling to stand. She was euthanised by a vet on humane grounds at the property. Three remaining German shepherds were euthanised several days later, including a dog named Nick. "Nick was so weak that if he started to walk, his back end would collapse. He dragged himself around on his front legs," said Lewis. Two years later, after another cruelty complaint, the RSPCA went to Duncan’s property again. "[The inspectors] were pretty quick to get on the phone to me to say 'these horses are pretty bad. We have to get them out. We have to get them out today,'" said Lewis. She said there was no hay or hard feed for the horses, and they were forced to "shuffle through their own poo" to find things to eat. Five horses and one dog were seized from Duncan. They were among 86 dogs and 56 horses found on the property – more than were present during the RSPCA’s first seizure. "One of them in particular was one of the skinniest horses I think I've ever seen. It was literally just bones and sadly that horse was euthanised the following day." Under the name Dora Ryan, Duncan was charged with a total of 33 counts of ill-treatment of an animal. She represented herself in court, with the magistrate noting she has "no credit as a witness and lied to the court" during the trial. She was found guilty on all charges but failed to appear at the last four court hearings. "She had left her property, had left the state. We then found out she had actually left the country," said Lewis. Lena's Baroota property (Source: RSPCA) Sunday’s investigation reveals Duncan was able to legally change her name in South Australia as it’s permissible to do so three times in your lifetime. Additionally, an animal abuse conviction was not serious enough to qualify her as a "restricted person" which would’ve potentially barred her from changing her name. Duncan sent 26 horses by air freight to Auckland from Sydney. The horses were assessed before departure and upon arrival in New Zealand and passed the necessary checks. Duncan admits to bringing the horses into the country as "personal effects", despite planning to sell some of them, meaning she avoided paying any GST or duty on the animals. Companies Office documents show Duncan registered the Kiwi in Oz and Back Home Foundation as a charitable trust in 2020 and gifted the trust 32 horses and 53 dogs. "Being a horse person, I was a little bit nosy. Like, what kind of horses has this lady got that she’s bringing this massive number into New Zealand, you know?" Kelly was not aware of Duncan’s conviction in Australia and agreed to do the job. When she arrived to drop off Duncan’s horses, she was shocked at the state of the property. “We went past a shipping container, and I noticed a mattress on top of crates. I realised that they were actually airfreight crates full of dogs. She was sleeping on top of the crates." Kelly also noted the property had no fencing to separate the horses, and the land and grass weren’t suitable for grazing such a large number of horses. "I was quite concerned. She’s got all these horses that won’t cope with a New Zealand winter." "I talked to her about a friend of mine up there in Kaitaia. I gave them each other’s phone number." That friend was Pai Cunningham, a professional horse trainer for about 25 years. Now retired, Cunningham volunteers as head instructor at the Kaitaia Pony Club. She went to see Duncan in January of last year and, like Kelly, was concerned by what she saw. "It was all clay and gorse. There was very little feed for horses, certainly not rolling pastures of grass at all," she said. She noticed at least 16 horses on the land as well as "a number of stallions kept in portable round pens". Cunningham says Duncan told her she was a Kiwi citizen who had recently returned home. "She also told me that the horses had been badly affected by the droughts in Australia that she didn't have any feed for her animals. I didn't know her, so I thought, 'Wow that’s a heck of a lot of bad luck," said Cunningham. She says Duncan, desperate to sell horses, asked for her help. "We had the Kaitaia AMP Show coming up and I said to her 'I don’t mind helping you prepare an animal. You're going to have the best chance to sell it for a decent price if it’s actually won something.'" But the horse Duncan gave her to prepare was in a terrible state. "As soon as you shifted the mane, there was an absolute infestation of ticks and lice and I mean big bugs." Horse given to Pai by Lena (Source: Pai Cunningham) She also noted it was underweight and had "bone abnormalities" which she believed to be a result of a calcium deficiency. Cunningham knew she couldn’t salvage the horse so she messaged Duncan the next day. "Wow! Did the fireworks fly. The next morning she arrived on my property unannounced and accused me of stealing her horse. "She was screaming and shouting and calling me every name under the sun." Duncan left with her horse and Cunningham reported the incident to the police, saying she took out a trespass order against Duncan. Back in Hamilton, horse transporter Kelly called MPI and made an animal welfare complaint. She says the issue was passed on to the SPCA. Sunday contacted MPI who wouldn’t confirm any complaints had been actioned, stating all animal welfare complaints are confidential. Several months later, Cunningham says she came across an article about a woman named Dora Ryan wanted in Australia for animal abuse. She finally made the connection. "She had been found guilty on 33 counts of animal cruelty and then [I saw the] photo! I rang Letetia and I said, 'You're not going to believe who we found!'" Kelly says she rang the SPCA and alerted them to the fact that Duncan was in fact convicted animal abuser Dora Ryan. "They got quite a shock. They didn't know it was the same person." In 2021 animal welfare group Help Us Help Animals NZ (HUHA) covertly bought two horses from Duncan. In a post on Facebook, HUHA said it was a last-ditch effort to save the horses after inaction by the SPCA, police and Interpol. They said blood samples showed the horses were malnourished, and one horse had an undiagnosed genetic condition. One of the horses bought by HUHA (Source: HUHA) In her first extended television interview, Duncan discusses her conviction in Australia and life in New Zealand. She says that she grew up in Bulgaria around animals. "Lambs, sheep, horses, cows, donkeys, chickens - you name it. They were always there so my love for animals started then." She claims to have first moved from Bulgaria to New Zealand in 2002 through "professional sport", representing New Zealand in handball. By 2007, she’d moved to South Australia where she lived on a secluded farm in Baroota. "I did not associate with people much, if at all. But I can say that the people around me… not friendly. Very big chauvinists." She was breeding and selling dogs, including Great Danes, Pomeranians, German Shepherds and Pomskies. She also sold Friesian horses, a large muscular breed with a thick mane and tail. "For most, if not all, horse people, Friesians are something that everybody dreams of." Despite her admitting to the animals being her livelihood, Duncan says she’s not a breeder for profit. "It’s my affair with animals is a love affair. It’s not a specific 'I want to breed, and I want to make money'." She believes in raising her animals in a natural way, with as little intervention as possible. However, she is accused of breeding and selling some animals with heredity issues. When asked about its potential to cause the animals pain and suffering, she says: "Probably, but define pain and suffering in an animal?" Duncan says the 18 complaints made against her to the RSPCA were a result of "nastiness and jealousy from small people". She admits the RSPCA visited her property several times before uplifting her animals but says they hadn't indicated she was doing anything wrong. "On those visits, the inspector back then was always happy. Was saying animals in good condition. Was saying things like, 'You are one of the good ones.'" "Now RSPCA came like an army of 18 people, vans, police, etc. with the clear premeditated plan from about two months before to take animals or kill animals." Lena Duncan's dog (Source: RSPCA) Duncan rejects the RSPCA’s decision to put down four of her German shepherds, saying they were happy and well. "When they killed my shepherds, I had two veterinarians and they said basically, 'Yes they are old, yes they have their old dogs’ ailments but under medication, they can continue living a happy life until it’s time,'" she said. Duncan supplied a report written by Dr Michael Adams, a vet in South Australia who assessed the German Shepherds in 2017. He noted he "would not support a decision to euthanise" the dogs. When contacted, Dr Adams was not willing to comment. Duncan admits at times, she had too many horses in Australia. "At the time I had approximately 65 horses. It’s horrendously many. It’s horrendously many and it’s very hard work." But Duncan says there was always enough food for them, despite evidence some of her horses were severely underweight. Lena's horse after it was euthanised (Source: RSPCA) "I was buying the hay and the containers were full of pallets and dry food for the horses." In 2018, Duncan successfully launched her own legal action against the RSPCA and got several dogs back 14 months after they were seized. "RSPCA knew that their case against me is very shaky, if not even lost." In total, the RSPCA charged Duncan with 33 counts of animal abuse. Duncan, the magistrate noted, lied under oath and lacked any credibility as a witness. "The Magistrate calling me a liar was the biggest slap in the face, but what can you say?" "I don’t lie in my life," said Duncan. She failed to appear at the last four hearings, and the magistrate declined to hand down a sentence in her absence, indicating it was likely to involve prison time. Duncan vehemently denies fleeing Australia to avoid prison. "I’m not a fugitive - that’s the end of the story." Duncan refused to answer questions about how many animals are in her care, or their current condition. She accepts she’s currently under investigation by the SPCA and that a number of her horses have been seized by the organisation. Earlier this week, Sunday confirmed that Duncan is in dispute with an animal rescue organisation, claiming they deceived her into handing over her remaining horses and dogs by convincing her that the SPCA would otherwise take them. She wants the animals back. But the Bay of Islands Animal Rescue say the animals were surrendered to them willingly by Duncan after they explained to her that they needed better care that she couldn’t afford. In a statement sent to Sunday, the organisation said the animals "are subject to SPCA investigation". "Bay of Islands Animal Rescue is proactively co-operating with the SPCA in their investigation, to help ensure no more animals can be abused and neglected in the care of Lena Duncan in the future. Since the animals were surrendered to us, they have been receiving the veterinarian care they need and are being given the love and care that they all deserve." https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/10/16/sunday-convicted-animal-abuser-denies-wrongdoing-in-interview/

LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) supremo Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Sunday said that the country’s nuclear weapons are well protected by the Pakistan Army. The PML-Q supremo lashed out at US President Joe Biden by terming his [Biden’s] statement in this regard as ‘baseless’. The former prime minister [Chaudhry Shujaat] said, "Before the 2008 general elections, the current US president [Joe Biden] visited our home with Senator John Kerry and Chuck Hagel and praised Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s education policies. Subsequently, they went on to say that if PML-Q wins the elections, then we will not accept the result." "They [Biden and his aides] reiterated this in an interview, to which Pervaiz Elahi asked them what their reaction would be if something like that was said in their election campaign. On this, the US senator changed the subject and started praising Punjab’s health and education sectors. Speaking further about nuclear weapons, the former prime minister [Chaudhury Shujaat] said, "Our nuclear programme has been supported by 220 million people. Pakistan has never been irresponsible since it began its nuclear programme .Our nuclear weapons are safer than India and other countries. There is no logic in bringing Pakistan’s nuclear programme into the discussion." https://dunyanews.tv/en/Pakistan/671705-Pakistan’s-nuclear-weapons-are-well-protected-by-Pak-Army:-Chaudhry-Shuj

On October 1, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that 1.3 billion Indian citizens would soon be able to use fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology for high-speed internet services across the country. Leading Indian telecom companies Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, and Vodafone are already in the race to deploy the new technology. Modi also announced that India would play an active role in the innovation and manufacture of 5G technology—compared to only being a consumer previously. While India has increasingly viewed China as the leading competitor in Asia, China’s experience deploying 5G across a vast country of billions can offer valuable lessons for India. China has worked on 5G for nearly ten years, beginning promotion groups for 5G technologies in 2013 and Research and Development in 2016. However, China’s journey has not been without its obstacles—particularly facing pushback from various Western countries due to privacy, intellectual property, and security concerns. India should look at China’s growth in 5G because of China’s rapid growth rate and expansion of the role of 5G technology in multiple sectors, such as communications, healthcare, manufacturing, and industry. While India has continued to compete with China in the region, there are points India can learn from China’s deployment of 5G technologies—such as how different levels of government cooperate and how funds are allocated to keep up a fast pace of 5G deployment. India also has advantages where China does—most notably in the potential partnerships with foreign countries amidst ongoing concerns over China’s 5G rise. China’s Strides in 5G China has placed a significant focus on improving the digital economy. Xi Jinping’s recent speech on the matter emphasized China’s advancements through technological development in big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. This aligns with Xi’s vision of the vast expansion of China’s digital economy by 2025—as outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Informatization released in December 2021. While India has increasingly viewed China as the leading competitor in Asia, China’s experience deploying 5G across a vast country of billions can offer valuable lessons for India. China released its State Council’s fifth-generation mobile communications infrastructure guidelines early this year. Chinese mobile operators have planned to invest around $138 billion in their networking systems between 2022-2025, out of which 88 percent is intended to be dedicated to 5G. The guidelines’ vision discussed the deployment and application of 5G networks and encouraged officials to plan a layout for the 6G technology research and development. China has made straightforward advances in emerging technologies, 5G being one of its top priorities. India, meanwhile, is still at a nascent stage in 5G deployment. It is expected that China will have two million 5G base stations by the end of this year. In 2021, the U.S. giant Apple introduced 5G-enabled smartphones to the Chinese market. However, it did not take much time for domestic producers to catch up. Currently, the leading telecom operators involved in 5G network rollouts include China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicorn. Infrastructural pursuits are at an all-time high, with even local governments in provinces launching their construction plans for 5G infrastructure. China’s provincial-level governments have implemented a practical top-down approach to distributing funds and bureaucratic cooperation with their local counterparts. In India, subjects are divided into three lists; Union, State, and Concurrent. The Central government handles crucial portfolios such as defense and communications in the Union List. As 5G deployment will be a subject of the Union List, the Central Government will take the major decisions. However, the funds allocated to the States may not reach them in a timely manner, resulting in a possible unequal or delayed deployment of 5G networks. This will further increase the rural and urban divide and the economic growth opportunities that can come with 5G services. In addition to the telecom sector, India’s health sector can use 5G technologies as China did during the COVID-19 pandemic. Devices using 5G have been used to evaluate the health status of potentially infected people or measure changes in the body during the quarantine period, and 5G-powered temperature measuring gadgets were used from a ten-meter distance. Highly advanced techniques such as remote ultrasound and remote CT scanning were also possible due to a combination of 5G technology and artificial intelligence. Implementing 5G technologies could revolutionize the healthcare sector in India. However, funding will be required for high-end machinery, which could be a challenge for India. During the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, India suffered when a shortage of funds and infrastructure crippled its healthcare system. Way Forward for India China’s 5G technology has faced significant pushback from the international community, especially in Western countries. Chinese tech giants, including Huawei and ZTE, have been banned by the United States—appearing numerous times in the U.S. Entity Lists in 2019. Huawei has been accused of spying and stealing intellectual property. The United States had not only banned Huawei but also stated that it would not be able to cooperate in certain areas or engage in intelligence sharing with countries using Huawei equipment due to security risks. The UK followed suit and banned Huawei’s use in 5G infrastructure in 2020. Despite limitations, however, Huawei has maintained its position as the most prominent private entity spending on Research and Development in China—although it has lost its top spot in terms of revenues. Chinese internet companies continue to be among the nation’s leading innovators despite a year-long government crackdown on private companies that hindered growth and reduced payments. That is a considerable achievement for China despite the ban and sanctions—even as India competes with China, it is worthwhile to recognize what areas it can learn from. Given their stronger relationship, the United States and India may have opportunities to collaborate on 5G technologies in the future. Both nations might cooperate to speed up the development and commercialization of technological solutions. Entrepreneurship, skill development and trade in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) could be strengthened between the two countries. However, the United States might have been a reason why India did not include Huawei in its trials and hence, could not start trials earlier. Price-competitive Huawei could have helped the cash-strapped telecom sector of India. Given their stronger relationship, the United States and India may have opportunities to collaborate on 5G technologies in the future. Both nations might cooperate to speed up the development and commercialization of technological solutions. Huawei and ZTE are private telecom companies that lack technical experience and knowledge in the industrial and service arenas. India could take note of this and include companies with a presence in manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, outsourcing and agriculture. These include Infosys, Wipro Ltd, Serum Insititute of India, Bajaj Finances Ltd, and UPL Ltd, among others. To do this, India must support close communication between different types of government and private companies. To enhance cooperation, they could have a set of people from various companies working towards multiple goals together. Existing Public-Private Partnership frameworks can come into play a part in the deployment. India is on a technological path which could create history. All major telecom companies have made mighty promises to India, and Prime Minister Modi’s ambitions for a Digital India are in full stride. However, what Indian mobile giants bring in for 5G deployment in India is yet to be seen. link:https://southasianvoices.org/what-india-can-learn-from-chinas-5g-leap/

By Linda Carroll It’s long been widely believed that dogs can detect extreme emotions by smell. Now scientists at Queen's University Belfast in the U.K. have proven that a dog's nose knows. Acute stress changes the compounds found in human sweat and breath, research has shown. For the new experiment, four dogs were presented with sweat and breath samples collected from human volunteers — before and after the people engaged in a difficult math exercise. The canine participants were able to detect with a greater than 90 percent accuracy which samples came from before and which came from after the 36 human volunteers had spent three minutes trying to count backward, aloud, from 9,000 in units of 17, according to the report published Wednesday in the scientific journal PLOS One. “This study provides further evidence of the extraordinary capabilities of ‘man’s best friend,’” said the study’s first author, animal psychologist Clara Wilson. The dogs, including Minnie, were presented with samples from 36 people who gave sweat and breath samples before and after doing a fast-paced arithmetic task.

For their study, Wilson and her colleagues first set out to train a variety of 20 pet dogs to point with their noses at samples from a person who was stressed. (By the end of the training period, 16 dogs had been withdrawn for a variety of reasons, including attention issues and boredom.) The researchers tested the trained dogs with a machine that offered three choices: an unused piece of gauze, a sample from a stressed person and one from the same person when unstressed. link:https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/dogs-can-smell-stressed-new-study-shows-rcna49472

Dale Willem Steyn (/ˈsteɪn/; born 27 June 1983) is a South African former professional cricketer who played for the South African Cricket Team. He is often regarded as one of the greatest fast bowlers of all time and the best Test bowler of his generation.[1][2][3] During the 2007–08 season, Steyn achieved a tally of 78 wickets at an average of 16.24,[4] and was subsequently rewarded with the ICC 2008 Test Cricketer of the Year Award.[5] He was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 2013,[6] and Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2013 in 2014's Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.[7][8][9] He was featured in Wisden Cricketers of the Decade at the end of 2019. He also was included in the ICC Test Team of the Decade at the end of 2020.[10] Steyn dominated the number one spot in the ICC Test rankings during the peak of his career, for a record 263 weeks between 2008 and 2014. Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan sits next on the list with 214 weeks. In terms of days, Steyn has spent 2,356 days at the top as of 6 October 2016. In October 2012, former South African test cricketer Allan Donald called the South African pace attack, which Steyn was part of, alongside Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel, the best South Africa has ever produced.[11] In December 2018, during the first Test against Pakistan, Steyn became the leading wicket taker for South Africa in Test cricket, previously held by all-rounder and former-captain Shaun Pollock.[12][13] On 5 August 2019, Steyn announced his retirement from Test cricket,[14] to focus on limited-overs cricket.[15] Steyn announced his retirement from all forms of cricket on 31 August 2021.[16] Contents 1 Early life and domestic career 1.1 Franchise cricket 2 International career 2.1 2004–2007: Early days 2.2 2007–2011: Successful years 2.3 2012–2014: Rise to fame 2.4 2015–2021: Final years 3 Coaching career 4 In the media 5 Playing style 6 Honours 7 References 8 External links Early life and domestic career Steyn was born in 1983 in the small town of Phalaborwa, on the border of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.[17] His family is from Zimbabwe.[18] Steyn made his first-class debut for Northerns (subsequently merged with Easterns to form the Titans) on 17 October 2003.[citation needed] He only played two first-class games and made little impact in his first season, but a series of strong performances in the initial part of the 2004/2005 season saw him called up to the Test squad to play England. He went back to playing for the Titans after failing to impress in his first three Tests.[citation needed] Steyn went to England in 2005 to play for Essex, appearing in seven matches between May and June. He failed to make a big impact in his initial outing in County Championship cricket, taking 14 wickets at 59.85.[19] Following his work at Essex with world expert bowling coach Ian Pont Steyn returned to domestic cricket in South Africa, where he bowled excellently for the Titans through the 2005/2006 season which earned him a recall to the Test squad to face New Zealand.[20] Steyn seized the opportunity to cement his place in the South Africa Test team, and as a result of becoming a regular selection for the national team, he has subsequently played little domestic cricket in South Africa from then onwards, appearing for the Titans in just three SuperSport Series matches.[citation needed] He had a second stint in England, playing for Warwickshire in the first half of the 2007 English season. This time around he had more success, claiming 23 County Championship wickets in seven matches at an average of 25.86.[19] He also played well in the Friends Provident Trophy, a 50-over tournament, finishing as the leading wicket-taker for Warwickshire. He has since become a regular in the South African One Day International team. Franchise cricket Steyn signed to play in the Indian Premier League in 2008, playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He earned US$325,000 for his appearance in the tournament.[21] He spent his first three seasons in the Indian Premier League with Royal Challengers Bangalore. For IPL 2011 he was bought by Deccan Chargers for $1.2 million.[22] After Deccan Chargers were terminated from the IPL he was drafted to Sunrisers Hyderabad where he played three seasons. In the 2016 IPL auction, he was bought by Gujarat Lions for ₹ 22.3 million.[23] He could not participate in the 2017 IPL season after being released by Gujarat Lions prior to the season.[24] He went unsold at the 2018 and 2019 IPL auctions.[25][26] In mid-April 2019, Steyn joined Royal Challengers Bangalore for the 2019 IPL season as a replacement for the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile.[27] In the 2020 IPL auction, he was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore ahead of the 2020 Indian Premier League.[28] He played three matches in the tournament, picking one wicket at an average of 133 and economy rate of 11.40.[29] He was released from the team after the season.[30] In September 2019, he was named in the squad for the Cape Town Blitz team for the 2019 Mzansi Super League tournament.[31] In October 2019, Steyn signed to play in the Big Bash for the Melbourne Stars.[32] In December 2019, he was drafted by Pakistan Super League franchise Islamabad United as their first pick of the draft in the Platinum Category.[33] In November 2020, Steyn joined Kandy Tuskers for the 2020 Lanka Premier League.[34] In the 2021 PSL Draft, he was picked by Quetta Gladiators in the Supplementary category.[35] International career 2004–2007: Early days Steyn made his debut for South Africa on 17 December 2004 in the first Test of England's tour. His first victim in Test cricket was Marcus Trescothick whom he bowled with a fast in-swinging delivery.[36] However, his overall performance was underwhelming, he took eight wickets at an average of 52.00[37] and he was dropped after bowling poorly in England's second innings of the fourth Test in January 2005, bowling eight no-balls in nine overs which went for 47 runs.[38] England won the match by 77 runs. Later that year, Steyn was picked in the squad for the African XI in the Afro-Asia Cup of 2005/06, and he made his One Day International debut on 17 August 2005. The African XI won the match, with Steyn bowling last batsman Ashish Nehra to seal victory by two runs.[39] Steyn made his One Day International debut for South Africa on 20 January 2006 in a match against Australia at Melbourne, a match which was part of the 2005–06 VB Series. Steyn did not bowl particularly well[40] and after another below par performance against Sri Lanka[41] he dropped out of consideration for the South African ODI team. Following a strong season playing domestic cricket for the Titans, Steyn was recalled to the Test side to play New Zealand in April 2006. He responded to his opportunity with his first five-wicket haul in the first Test at Centurion, ripping through the New Zealand batting lineup along with Makhaya Ntini as New Zealand crumbled to 120 all out, chasing 248 to win.[42] He finished the three Test series with 16 wickets at 26.00[43] and made a fine impression throughout. Steyn was included in the Test team to play Sri Lanka away in a two match series in July and August 2006. In his first overseas Test, at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo, he took 3 for 129 as Sri Lanka piled up 756–5, with Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene putting together the highest Test match partnership ever (624 runs). South Africa slumped to defeat by an innings and 153 runs.[44] In the second Test, at the Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu Stadium, Colombo, Steyn took his second five-wicket haul in Tests during Sri Lanka's first innings, but went wicketless in their seconds innings as Sri Lanka sealed a 2–0 series victory by a single wicket.[45] Steyn finished the series with eight wickets at an average of 36.50.[43] 2007–2011: Successful years Dale Steyn in the field at the SCG in January 2009 Steyn kept his Test place for the three match home series against India. He picked up an injury whilst bowling early in India's first innings in the first Test at Johannesburg which prevented him from taking much further part in the game and also ruled him out of the second Test. He returned to play in the deciding third Test at Cape Town and bowled well, taking six wickets for 88 runs in the match as South Africa clinched the match and the series.[46] He finished the series with six wickets at an average of 19.00.[47] Despite his strong performance on his return to the team in the third Test against India, Steyn missed out on a place in the first two Tests against Pakistan, with the selectors opting to play a four-man attack featuring full-time spinner Paul Harris. He returned in the third Test, at Cape Town, when the selectors decided to rest André Nel and Shaun Pollock in preparation for the imminent 2007 Cricket World Cup. He took four wickets in the match for 87 runs as South Africa won the match by 5 wickets and took the series 2–1.[48] As this was his only match, his average for the series was 21.75.[47] Steyn was recalled to the South African ODI squad in June 2007 and played in three matches between June and August, against Ireland, India and Zimbabwe. He had mixed success in these three matches, taking wickets but proving expensive.[49] Steyn was picked for the Test squad to tour Pakistan in October, and played in both Tests. In the first Test at Karachi, during Pakistan's second innings, he picked up his third Test five-wicket haul as Pakistan were bowled out for 263 chasing 424 to win.[50] He had an unremarkable second Test, with the match petering out to a draw, handing South Africa the series 1–0, and finished the series with nine wickets at 24.66.[51] Steyn was by now an established member of the Test team, and he produced his finest series performance to date in the two Test matches against New Zealand in November. In the first Test at Johannesburg he collected his fourth and fifth five-wicket hauls (5/35 and 5/59) and his first ten-wicket match as New Zealand were thrashed by 358 runs, South Africa's biggest victory margin in terms of runs to date. Steyn was also awarded his first Test Man-of-the-Match award.[52] This devastating form continued into the second Test at Centurion where he picked up 4/42 in the first innings and his sixth five-wicket haul (6/49) to help South Africa to victory by an innings and 59 runs. His second ten-wicket match earned him his second Man-of-the-Match award in a row[53] and his series performance of 20 wickets at an average of 9.20[54] won him his first Man-of-the-Series award. On the back of his performance, he broke into the top five of the ICC rankings for Test bowlers for the first time in his career.[55] He made his Twenty20 International debut on 23 November 2007 in the one-off game against New Zealand, taking the wicket of Scott Styris and only giving up 17 runs from his four overs.[56] He also featured in the third One Day International at Cape Town, where he had partial success, taking the wickets of the New Zealand openers, Brendon McCullum and Lou Vincent, but going for 50 runs from nine overs.[57] Steyn's next international appearance was in the first Twenty20 International against the West Indies. He took the exceptional figures of 4/9 in three overs, with all four wickets being picture perfect yorkers, but was unable to stop the West Indies chasing down the target of 59 runs in a match reduced to 13 overs by rain.[58] Steyn's form continued into the Test series. He had a fairly indifferent match in the first Test at Port Elizabeth, taking 5/188 in the match as the West Indies scored their first away victory in Test matches for two and a half years, although he did hit his highest Test match score to date, 33 not out, in South Africa's second innings.[59] He picked up figures of 4/60 and 4/44 in the second Test at Cape Town as South Africa leveled the series[60] and once again proved his worth in the deciding third Test at Durban by taking 1/18 and 6/72, his seventh five-wicket haul, as the West Indies were thrashed by an innings and 100 runs.[61] His 20 wickets at 19.10.[54] earned him his second consecutive Man-of-the-Series award. He played in the first three matches of the One Day International series, but could not match his Test success and was briefly dropped after failing to take a wicket and going for 62 runs in his ten overs during the third match at Port Elizabeth[62] He was recalled for the fifth match at Johannesburg but struggled again, taking one wicket but going for 78 runs from ten overs.[63] In the first Test of the two match series against Bangladesh, at Dhaka, Steyn helped South Africa avoid an embarrassing defeat. Bangladesh were bowled out for 192 in their first innings, with Steyn claiming 3/27, but then South Africa collapsed to 170 all out, handing the hosts a shock 22 run lead. However Steyn(4/48) then combined with Jacques Kallis (5/30) to restrict Bangladesh to 182 all out and South Africa were able to complete a five wicket victory on the fourth day of the match.[64] South Africa won the second Test at Chittagong comprehensively (by an innings and 205 runs) and Steyn returned figures of 4/66 and 3/35[65] giving him 14 wickets in the series at an average of 12.57[54] which won him his third consecutive Man-of-the-Series award. When Steyn dismissed Junaid Siddique in Bangladesh's first innings (his 20th match), he claimed the record for the fastest South African to reach 100 wickets in Tests, beating Hugh Tayfield's record of 21 matches. He holds the record amongst all players who are currently playing Test cricket.[66] Steyn featured in the final One Day International of the three match series, going wicketless but only giving away 19 runs in 8 overs.[67] Steyn fields a ball at practice, Adelaide Oval, January 2009 Coming into the three Test series against India predictions about how Steyn would fare were mixed, with some commentators identifying him a crucial part of a South African team which could pose a serious challenge to India,[68] whilst others predicted he might struggle playing against a strong batting lineup on lifeless subcontinent pitches.[69] The first Test at Chennai turned out to be a very high scoring affair, with South Africa batting first and making 540, then India responding strongly, led by Virender Sehwag who scored 319 from 304 balls, to reach 468/1 by the end of the third day. On the fourth day Steyn helped to restrict India's lead to 87 runs by dismissing MS Dhoni with a bouncer then blasting through the lower order, taking three wickets in two overs for the cost of two runs, all bowled with reverse swinging deliveries. He finished the innings, and the match which petered out into a tame draw, with four wickets for 103 runs.[70] On the morning of the second Test at Ahmedabad, South Africa demolished the much vaunted Indian batting line within twenty overs, for the meagre total of 76 runs. Steyn was the pick of the bowlers taking five wickets for 23 runs, dismissing Sehwag and Rahul Dravid then mopping up the last three batsmen for the cost of 11 runs. In the second innings he added a further three wickets to his match tally, finishing the game with eight wickets for 114 runs, as South Africa completed a crushing victory by an innings and 90 runs.[71] The final Test at Kanpur saw Steyn pick up three first innings wickets which took him to 15 wickets in the series at an average of 20.20. As a result of this, the cumulation of an outstanding 2007/08 season in which he took 75 wickets in 11 matches, Steyn moved up to joint first place (alongside Muttiah Muralitharan) in the ICC Test match bowling rankings.[72] In the 2nd Test match in a 3 match series, Steyn was involved in a record 9th wicket partnership of 180 with J.P. Duminy. Steyn recorded a score of 76 (191 deliveries) in an innings that helped South Africa recover from 6–141 to post a score of 459. Steyn also starred in the first innings with figures of 5–87 (29.0 overs).[73] In the second innings Steyn returned figures of 5–67 (20.2 overs) and helped South Africa to restrict the Australians to 247 giving the hosts a lead of 183. Steyn now had match figures of 10–154.[74] This is the third time that he has taken 10 wickets in a match in his Test career. South Africa duly completed the chase with nine wickets in hand, giving them a 2–0 series lead and their first ever Test series win in Australia. It was also Australia's first home series defeat in 16 years. Steyn was named man of the match for this performance. Steyn made a rearguard effort in attempting to prevent an Australian victory in the 3rd Test in Sydney frustrating the hosts with 28 runs in 65 balls in a 50 run partnership from 105 balls with Makhaya Ntini in order to try to secure the draw. However, when he was out with 50 balls to go, injured captain Graeme Smith came in with a broken hand in an attempt to hold out. Smith was eventually bowled out by Mitchell Johnson with ten balls to go. Steyn got career best ODI figures of 5 wickets for 50 runs against India in Nagpur during the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. India had a good start to their batting innings but could not maintain their momentum, in the process losing their final 9 wickets for just 29 runs. Steyn played a vital role in the derailment of a strong Indian batting line-up.[75] He was named in the 'Team of the Tournament' for the 2011 World Cup by the ICC and Cricinfo.[76][77] 2012–2014: Rise to fame ....It is human nature to underrate the present and grossly overrate the past, but if you outlaw that trait, time has come to place Steyn among the greatest fast bowlers of the game..... 2013 article Hail Dale by Harsha Bhogle[78] On 2 January 2013, Steyn bowled Doug Bracewell out in first session of the first test of the New Zealand tour to South Africa to take his 300 Test wickets in 61 matches.[79] He reached the landmark in 8 years and 16 days to become the second fastest South African bowler in terms of time taken after Shaun Pollock.[80] On 3 February 2013, Steyn picked up his career best test figures at home of 6/8 as Pakistan were dismissed for their lowest ever test score of 49, this was also the third cheapest six-wicket haul in the test history. He later went on to pick five more wickets in the second innings and helped South Africa win the match by 211 runs taking a 1–0 lead in the three match test series and was named man of the match.[81][82] Steyn played a cameo as himself in the 2014 romantic comedy Blended starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.[83] 2015–2021: Final years Steyn took 3/78 in the first innings of the first Test of the South African tour in Bangladesh which was drawn due to stoppage by rain.[84] Steyn took 16,634 balls to take his 400 test wickets and became the fastest bowler to complete the feat in terms of balls bowled. He took the 400th wicket when Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal was caught at slip by Hashim Amla on the first day of the second Test against Bangladesh on 30 July 2015.[85][86] He completed the innings with figures of 3/30 while the second innings was washed out by heavy rain.[87] Steyn was ruled out of the away Test series against Australia in 2016–17 after he broke his right shoulder bone in the first Test in Perth.[88] ....one could make a very strong case for Steyn being best fast bowler post the Second World War, especially when you consider the abundant advantages afforded to batsmen in recent times..... 2015 article Is Dale Steyn the greatest fast bowler post WWII? by Glenn Mitchell[89] Recovering from surgery, he missed the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy but was named in the South Africa A squad for their tour of England a few months later.[90] However, he returned to competitive cricket in November 2017, a year after the injury, playing for the Titans at the Ram Slam T20 Challenge.[91] After 14 months of injury, Steyn played his first international Test match against India and picked up a wicket in just 14 balls.[92] However, on day two of the same Test, Steyn damaged his left heel. This ruled him out of the rest of the series, with a recovery time of 4 to 6 weeks.[93][94] Two days later, he was ruled out of the rest of the series.[95] On 26 December 2018, he equaled Shaun Pollock's record as the highest wicket-taker in South African test history.[96] On 14 September, he was called back to the South African ODI squad after an absence of two years.[97] On 3 October, he scored his maiden half-century in ODI cricket against Zimbabwe in a 120 run victory.[98] In December 2018, in the first session of the Boxing Day Test at SuperSport Park in Centurion, Steyn became South Africa's leading wicket-taker in Tests, taking his 422nd wicket, surpassing Shaun Pollock who had held the record for ten years.[99] In April 2019, he was named in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[100][101] However, on 4 June 2019, Steyn was ruled out of the tournament due to an ongoing shoulder injury, and was replaced by Beuran Hendricks.[102] In August 2019, Steyn retired from Test cricket.[14] On 31 August 2021, Steyn announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.[103][104] Coaching career In December 2021, Steyn was appointed as the fast bowling coach of Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad for the 2022 IPL season.[105] In the media Steyn appeared on Sporting Edge mastermind podcast, hosted by former England cricketer, Jeremy Snape Steyn appeared the film, Blended (2014) starring Adam Sandler, as himself. Playing style Steyn is an aggressive out-and-out fast bowler capable of bowling at speeds in excess of 150 km/h, his fastest being 156.7 km/h (97.3mph) for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Kolkata Knight Riders in the 2010 Indian Premier League.[106] He is capable of generating considerable swing and is usually chosen to bowl with the new ball to maximize these attributes. He usually bowls between 140 km/h and 150 km/h [107] He has also demonstrated the ability to reverse swing the older ball in a Test match against India in Nagpur in 2010,[108] which South Africa won by an innings and six runs. Steyn is an extremely competitive cricketer and often celebrates vigorously after taking a wicket. He has stated that he "love(s) the buzz from bowling fast" and that he "want(s) to be the quickest in the world".[109] link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Steyn

MULTAN: 'Dozens' of abandoned and desecrated bodies were found on the roof of the mortuary of Nishtar Hospital in Multan on Friday.

Hi, China Watchers. With China’s 20th Party Congress just three days away, we’re tackling some of the key issues that President Xi Jinping’s looming third term poses for U.S.-China relations through a discussion with two lawmakers and a former State Department China specialist. We’ll also unpack the key China details of the new National Security Strategy, parse the State Department’s China fears in the Arctic and wrestle with Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping’s competing – but unequal – official titles. And we’ll profile a book that unpacks Xi’s motivations in attacking China’s once untouchable tech giants. Let’s get to it. — Phelim STEP INSIDE THE WEST WING: What's really happening in West Wing offices? Find out who's up, who's down, and who really has the president’s ear in our West Wing Playbook newsletter, the insider's guide to the Biden White House and Cabinet. For buzzy nuggets and details that you won't find anywhere else, subscribe today. China Watcher convened a stellar panel on the POLITICO Live platform on Wednesday to unpack the implications for U.S.-China relations posed by Xi Jinping’s looming third term as China’s paramount leader after next week’s 20th Party Congress. That will solidify Xi’s rule – complete with creeping totalitarianism at home and an increasingly bellicose foreign policy — until at least 2027, and possibly for life. That panel included: — Sen. JEFF MERKLEY (D-Ore.) —Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Chair of the Congressional Executive Committee on China — Rep. DARIN LAHOOD (R-Ill.) —Co-chair of the Congressional U.S.-China Working Group and member of both the House Intelligence Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee —SUSAN SHIRK, former deputy assistant secretary of state and chair of the 21st Century China Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy We talked Taiwan, trade and human rights. I’ve distilled highlights of the exchange below, edited for length and clarity. And you can access the audio of the entire event here. How can the U.S. maintain support for Taiwan while at the same time not holding hostage cooperation on other key bilateral issues — including climate and counternarcotics — that Beijing has suspended in reprisal for House Speaker NANCY PELOSI’s visit to the island in August? LaHood: I don't think we can be bullied by China when it comes to this issue. We've had a long-time policy when it comes to Taiwan: standing up for democracy, standing up for freedom. I understand the Chinese have taken a strong approach to that. I think that probably has more to do with Xi's trying to continue his reign in China than it does actually on those policies. But I also would say we continue to look for tangible results from China…whether it's on the issues related to forced labor and the Uyghurs, or whether it's on issues of their improper trade policies. We've continued to talk to them and argue with them about these policies, the excess capacity they've had, but they continue to abide by a different set of rules and standards from an economic standpoint. Shirk: The objective of our policy toward China should be to see tangible steps that the Chinese side takes to moderate its policies, to take a more pragmatic approach to foreign policy as well as domestic policy and, of course, a peaceful approach to dealing with Taiwan. I think that should be the main objective on Taiwan and everything else. Not to slow China down or trip it up, but to combine active diplomacy with forms of pressure to get tangible results. In my view, we could intensify the diplomacy a bit. Now I recognize that the Chinese side has said, "Well, we won't talk to you so long as Speaker Pelosi's going to Taiwan," but I think we should make our desire and our need for diplomacy a little bit more active, especially after the midterms. What's important is for us also to show that we're open to improving our relations with China should China alter its own behavior. Merkley: We have seen complete violation of the agreement with Britain over Hong Kong. We have seen massive uses of technology to enslave the Uyghurs. We have seen a violation of international waters regarding the Philippines. We've seen the creation of artificial islands to extend their [sovereignty] claims. We've seen the drumbeat of potential aggression towards Taiwan. We have seen economic coercion against international companies. We have seen coercion against countries that had policies that were critical of China. We have seen transnational repression in the form of pressuring individuals who are outside of China threatening them directly or threatening their families back home in China. So, for those who think “Is America changing its policy?” No, it's China that has changed its role in the world in a very threatening fashion, violating many of the things that we hold dear. How desirable or feasible is it for the U.S. to pursue "decoupling," of the U.S. and Chinese economies in order to address a perceived threat of U.S. economic dependence on China? Shirk: We need to think long and hard about decoupling, because in this bipartisan consensus that has been created by China's overreaching, we could overreact in a way that is really going to harm our own competitiveness. We now appear to be in a race to the bottom with China about who can be the most nationalistic, the most restrictive, and yet we talk about our rule-bound global order, our open market economy. But we are actually degrading our own open market economy and perhaps the most important loss is the talent that exists around the entire world in our global knowledge economy, and especially in China. I was just reading that the numbers of Chinese students applying for visas [to study] at American universities dropped 45 percent. Merkley: We should take some lessons from the relationship between Europe and Russia. They thought that economic integration would mean that Putin or whoever governed Russia would never proceed to damage that relationship by cutting off fossil gas. And in fact, he was quite ready to use that as an authoritarian figure who wanted to make his mark on the world. Certainly, Xi is an authoritarian figure who wants to make his mark on the world. And he wants to expand the sense of China as a great player on the international stage. So there is a lot here we have to address — the imbalance of rules, how we give them complete freedom in our country and they have all kinds of rules about how we operate in China that don't allow a fair trade relationship. LaHood: If you go back to 2001 when we brought China into the World Trade Organization, there was an argument to bring them in: they're going to modernize their economy, they're going to become more like other industrialized countries and democracies in the world. And if you look over that 20 plus years, there has been progress made, but there's also been extreme deficiencies. They continue to abide by a different set of rules and standards that every other industrialized country in the world has done. It's hard to decouple. But I think we're going into a new phase when it comes to China. I think you're going to continue to see a movement in Congress — what I would call a Cold War mentality towards China — because we're not seeing the progress that I think is necessary economically from a trade standpoint and from an IP standpoint from China. And I don't see from anything that I've heard from Xi that that is going to change that moving forward. TRANSLATING WASHINGTON — SECURITY STRATEGY TARGETS CHINA COMPETITION THREAT: The Biden administration’s new National Security Strategy declares that the U.S. faces a “decisive decade” in countering Beijing’s efforts to replace the U.S. as the dominant global superpower, POLITICO’sALEXANDER WARD reported on Wednesday. China “is the only competitor with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to do it,” the administration declares in the strategy. The strategy’s China focus echoes elements of Secretary of State ANTONY BLINKEN’s China strategy speech in May by balancing the need for competition with U.S. willingness to cooperate on transnational threats including climate change and global health. “This is a message to reassure our allies that we are mindful of the potential downsides of intense competition,” said BONNIE GLASER, Asia program director at the German Marshall Fund of the U.S. The Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. didn’t respond to a request for comment. — STATE WARNS ON CHINA’S ARCTIC AMBITIONS: China shared top billing with Russia in the State Department’s new National Strategy for the Arctic Region as twin threats to U.S. interests in the region. “The People’s Republic of China (PRC) seeks to increase its influence in the Arctic through an expanded slate of economic, diplomatic, scientific and military activities,” the strategy said. China has eyes on the Arctic. “There's shipping lanes, there's natural resources, and governance is in flux in the Arctic regions, so I don't think it's surprising that China is interested,” said REBECCA PINCUS, director of the Polar Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center. “But I don't think it's a top priority…the Chinese government is far more interested in its own backyard.” Former Secretary of State MIKE POMPEO sketched a more lurid threat during a Hudson Institute event on Tuesday. “This is a deep grand conspiracy between Russia, China and Iran and other enemies of freedom coming together to use their shared resources in this very region,” Pompeo said. Chinese authorities say their intentions are benign. “China will not overstep the mark to meddle in inter-Arctic States affairs,” embassy spokesperson LIU PENGYU said in a statement. — BIDEN CHOKES OFF BEIJING’S CHIP SUPPLY: The Biden administration moved late last week to choke off Beijing’s supply of microchips used in advanced computing and military applications, issuing two new rules limiting companies from exporting chips and chip- making equipment to China while also pushing allies to do the same. The rules from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security will also apply new export license requirements to older and less advanced chips destined for Chinese companies, as well as semiconductor manufacturing equipment from U.S. companies previously not covered by BIS rules, as POLITICO’S GAVIN BADE and BRENDAN BORDELON reported last week. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson MAO NING responded by accusing the U.S. of “abusing export control measures to wantonly block and hobble Chinese enterprises.” HOT FROM THE CHINA WATCHERSPHERE A screenshot of a tweet by Nicholas Bequelin is shown. New Window Twitter — BEIJING DEFEATS U.N. RESOLUTION ON XINJIANG: China defeated a U.S.-backed resolution to debate the human rights situation in Xinjiang at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva last week. A total of 20 countries out of the 29 that voted against or abstained from the resolution — including Ukraine and ASEAN allies Indonesia and Malaysia — are beneficiaries of Beijing’s multi-billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure spending program. Thirteen of those that voted against the resolution or abstained — including Quad member India — attended Biden’s Summit for Democracy in December that allocated $424 million to participants to “bolster democracy, fight corruption, and defend human rights worldwide.” The Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday hailed the resolution as an endorsement of Beijing’s global statesmanship. “The agenda pushed by the US and some other Western forces have again failed to gain international support,” a ministry statement said. “This is a missed opportunity by Council members to hold China to the same standard as other countries,” DOLKUN ISA, president of the nonprofit World Uyghur Congress, said in a statement. — QIN GANG LOVES ELON: Tech billionaire ELON MUSK reaped plaudits from Chinese ambassador to the U.S., QIN GANG, after suggesting in an interview with the Financial Times on Saturday that the solution to the rising tensions across the Taiwan Strait was to “figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable.” Qin tweeted his thanks to Musk “for his call for peace across the Taiwan Strait.” Taiwan authorities weren’t pleased. “Taiwan sells many products, but our freedom and democracy are not for sale,” Taiwan’s de facto ambassador to the U.S., BI-KHIM HSIAO, tweeted Saturday in implicit reference to Musk’s musing. TRANSLATING CHINA Chinese President Xi Jinping speaks at a podium. Chinese President Xi Jinping speaks at the podium during the unveiling of the Communist Party's new Politburo Standing Committee at the Great Hall of the People on October 25, 2017 in Beijing, China. | Lintao Zhang/Getty Images — XI JINPING: ‘PRESIDENT’ OR ‘GENERAL SECRETARY’?: Some China scholars are urging U.S. media outlets – including POLITICO – to stop referring to China’s paramount leader Xi Jinping as China’s president. That’s because China’s presidency is a mostly ceremonial post. Instead, scholars want the media to give Xi the title that actually references his claim to power: General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party. That’s the post that he’ll officially get a third term for at next week’s 20th Party Congress. Xi’s role as CCP secretary general, along with being chairman of China’s Central Military Commission, are the positions that put him at the apex of the country’s power structure. The scholars argue that referring to Xi as “president” instead of “general secretary” scores a win for Beijing’s propaganda machine. “They want China to appear to be a normal country where the person at the top of the state apparatus is the boss, and that’s why they’re the boss. They would like people to forget that it’s still an old-style Leninist party-state, where even the military—not just in substance but even formally—belongs to and serves the Communist Party, not the state.” DONALD C. CLARK, specialist in Chinese law and David Weaver Research professor of law at George Washington University, said in The China Collection blog last week. “It’s less clear why responsible English-language publications go along with this.” The Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. claims no preference in which title POLITICO uses for Xi. “Mr. Xi Jinping is the President of the People’s Republic of China. President Xi is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission,” embassy spokesperson Liu said in a statement. HEADLINES POLITICO: “6 things to know as Xi Jinping moves to be China’s dictator for life” The Diplomat: “What to Watch for at the 20th Party Congress: The Leadership Shuffle” BBC: “Zero-Covid: How Xi's flagship policy is spoiling his party” HEADS UP — EUROPEAN LEADERS SEEK XI MEETINGS: European leaders are jostling for in-person meetings with Xi Jinping after next week’s 20th Party Congress confirms his third term as China’s paramount leader. Both French President EMMANUEL MACRON and German Chancellor OLAF SCHOLZ are busily lining up facetime with Xi in November, the South China Morning Post reported last week. Those meetings will give Xi the propaganda photo ops of foreign legitimation of his third term while allowing Macron and Scholz to press Xi to go harder in his relations with Russia and softer in his rhetoric against Taiwan. ONE BOOK, THREE QUESTIONS The cover of the book "China's Technology War: Why Beijing Took Down Its Tech Giants." Palgrave Pivot The Book: China's Technology War: Why Beijing Took Down Its Tech Giants The Author: ANDREW KEMP COLLIER is a Hong Kong-based analyst at Global Source Partners and a longtime analyst of Chinese macro and microeconomic developments. What is the most important takeaway from your book? The crackdown on Alibaba and other Chinese technology firms has more to do with Party control and populist messaging than “regulatory catchup” by the Chinese government. While some of the rules restricting monopoly behavior and reducing financial risk make sense, all of the policies serve to strengthen the hand of the CCP over the private sector, particularly the large, well capitalized technology companies. What was the most surprising thing you learned while researching and writing this book? I was surprised at the degree the Chinese government is intent on maintaining power over all other considerations. Efficiency of government, economic growth and other goals are second to the monopoly held by the Party. This is not necessarily due to an overweening ambition but to real fears about the potential dissolution of the country caused by a breakdown in order. What does your book tell us about the trajectory and future of U.S.-China relations? Decoupling will continue for the foreseeable future due to the Party’s concerns about social stability and maintaining power. Geopolitics and a clash of economies will reinforce China’s existing isolationist tendencies. Eventually, though, the adverse impact of loss of technology, intellectual property and even trade linkages, will be so damaging that China will have to reintegrate in order to create a path for growth. When this will occur is hard to predict. Got a book to recommend? Tell me about it at pkine@politico.com.

Gray wolves are being fatally poisoned in the remote northeast corner of Washington state, according to state wildlife officials, who said Monday that six have been found dead. Two carcasses were discovered recently and four were found in February, the state Fish and Wildlife Department reported. "Toxicology results revealed all six wolves died from ingesting poison," the department said. Fish and Wildlife police have been investigating since last year. Gray wolves are listed by the state as endangered, and they're federally endangered in the western two-thirds of the state. Killing animals that belong to an endangered species in the state is a misdemeanor, and defendants face the possibility of a year in jail and a fine of up to $5,000. Nonprofit groups have contributed to a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible in the wolves' deaths. It was at $51,400 Monday.

BERLIN, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Volkswagen's software unit Cariad (VOWG_p.DE) will spend more than $2 billion and take a 60% stake in a new venture with Chinese technology firm Horizon Robotics, it said on Thursday, tackling two big challenges: software and the Chinese market. The carmaker will invest $1 billion in Horizon Robotics and a further 1.3 billion euros ($1.26 billion) in the joint venture, with the transaction to be completed in the first half of 2023.

The venture will mean Volkswagen has a supplier in each major region - North America, Europe and China - given its existing supply relationships with U.S. chipmaker Qualcomm and Franco-Italian STMicrolectronics(STM.BN). In contrast to the partnership with Qualcomm, Volkswagen's software unit Cariad will play an active role in developing the chip technology with Horizon Robotics, and the know-how will be shared across the Volkswagen Group, the carmaker's China chief Ralf Brandstaetter said.

This knock got him the record of the highest one day score by a Blues player.[11] In the reverse fixture at Hobart, he backed it up with a 54-ball 97 to narrowly miss the record for the fastest ever century in Australian domestic cricket.[12] Warner made his first-class debut playing for New South Wales against Western Australia in the final match of the 2008–09 Sheffield Shield season at the Sydney Cricket Ground on 5–8 March 2009. Batting only once and coming in at number six in the batting order, Warner scored 42 runs off 48 deliveries.[13] While playing for New South Wales, Warner broke the record for the highest Australian one-day domestic score.

The earlier record was held by George Bailey, who completed his half century in 19 balls.[15] In the first season of the newly re-vamped Big Bash League, Warner was named as captain for the Sydney Thunder and in his first match for the Thunder scored 102 not out off just 51 balls with a strike rate of 200 runs per 100 balls.[16] Warner played for Sydney Sixers in 2012–13 season.[17][18] English County Cricket 2009 Warner has played for English County Champions Durham for the English cricket domestic season.[19] Indian Premier League Warner has been one of the most successful batsmen in the Indian Premier League.[20][21] He has won the Orange Cap three times and has scored over 5000 runs.[22][23] Delhi Daredevils Warner was signed by Delhi Daredevils for the 2009–10 seasons.[24] During the 2009 tournament which was played in South Africa, Warner played seven games, scoring 163 runs at an average of 23.28 and with a strike-rate of 123.48. His top score was 51.[25] On 7 October 2011, Warner became the first cricketer to score consecutive Twenty20 hundreds, when he followed up an unbeaten 135 against Chennai Super Kings with an unbeaten 123 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both matches were in the Champions League.[26] Sunrisers Hyderabad Following the 2014 IPL auction, he was contracted by Sunrisers Hyderabad for US$880,000.[27] In 2015, he was appointed captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Warner ended the season as the tournament's leading run scorer, rewarding him with the Orange cap, although SRH narrowly missed out on reaching the knock-out phase.[28] He was chosen to continue leading the team for a second season in 2016,[29] in which he led the team to its first championship with 69 runs off 38 balls in the final against Royal Challengers Bangalore.[30] Warner finished the season with 848 runs, the second highest in the tournament. In 2017, Warner scored 126 runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders to break his previous career high of 109*. This also marked his third century in the IPL.[31] He finished the season as the leading run scorer, and was awarded with the Orange cap for the second time. He finished the season with 641 runs and at an average of 58.27.[32] For the 2018 IPL season, Warner was retained and appointed captain by Sunrisers Hyderabad,[33] but he stepped down as captain following the events of ball tampering in South Africa.[34] The BCCI later announced that Warner would not be allowed to play in the 2018 IPL season.[35] For the 2019 IPL season, Warner returned to Sunrisers Hyderabad. In his first match after the one-year ban he scored 85 runs off 53 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders but ended up on the losing side.[36] Two days later, Warner scored 100* runs off 55 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore in a 118 run victory which was his fourth IPL century.[37] He finished the season as the leading run scorer with 692 runs at an average of 69.20, and was awarded with the Orange Cap for the third time. He left the team early after playing 12 matches due to Australia's World Cup preparations.[38] On 27 February 2020, Warner was reinstated as captain of the Sunrisers Hyderabad replacing Kane Williamson.[39] On 18 October, Warner became the first overseas player and fourth overall to complete 5000 runs in the IPL after scoring 47* off 33 balls in a super over loss against Kolkata Knight Riders, he also became the fastest player to 5000 runs achieving the milestone in 135 innings.[40][41] He finished the tournament with 548 runs and narrowly missed out on reaching the finals after a defeat against Delhi Capitals in the second qualifier.[42] In the 2021 IPL season, on 1 May 2021, Warner was replaced by Kane Williamson as captain after Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to win only one out of their first six matches.[43] In the second leg of the tournament in UAE, Warner was dropped from the team after two matches. He later commented on social media platform Instagram that he would no long be part of the team for the remainder of the season.[44] Sunrisers Hyderabad's assistant coach at that time Brad Haddin later revealed that the decision to drop him was not a cricket decision.[45] Delhi Capitals After Sunrisers Hyderabad chose not to retain Warner, he entered the 2022 IPL auction with a base price of ₹2 crores as one of the marquee players.[46] In the auction, he was bought by Delhi Capitals for ₹6.25 crores.[47][48] Warner, who is playing his first game against SRH since he was released by the franchise ahead of the 2022 edition of the tournament, also reached his 89th half-century in T20, which is now a world record. He finished as the top run getter for the Capitals with 432 runs, his side missed out on the playoffs after facing a defeat against Mumbai Indians in their final league phase match.[49] Other T20 franchise cricket He contracted with Sylhet Sixers for the 2019 edition of Bangladesh Premier League. On 3 June 2018, he was selected to play for the Winnipeg Hawks in the players' draft for the inaugural edition of the Global T20 Canada tournament,[50][51] then on 5 July 2018 it was announced that he would be the captain to replace Dwayne Bravo due to injury.[52] International career Debut years Warner on his T20 International debut against South Africa in 2009 Warner made his international debut for Australia in a Twenty20 International against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 11 January 2009. Warner was the first man since 1877 to represent Australia without having played in a first-class match.[53] He made an immediate impact, scoring 89 off 43 balls with 7 fours and 6 sixes, including the then second-fastest fifty in Twenty20 International history.[54] His 89 was the second highest score on Twenty20 international debut.[55] He made his Test debut on 1 December 2011 against New Zealand at Brisbane, Queensland in the first Test of the Trans-Tasman Trophy due to an injury to Shane Watson. He made three runs in the first innings. In the second innings he scored 12 not out off four balls, scoring the winning runs with a pull shot through mid on. On 23 February 2010, playing a Twenty20 international against the West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he made 67 off just 29 balls. His 50 came in just 18 balls, breaking his old record of 19.[56] Start of good form Warner scored his maiden Test century on 12 December 2011 in Australia's unsuccessful run chase against New Zealand in Hobart. Warner made 123* in his side's second innings total of 233. In doing so he became just the sixth person to carry his bat through the fourth innings of a Test match.[57] Warner bowls right arm leg-break and on his first delivery in Test cricket, the ball was dropped in the outfield denying Warner a maiden Test wicket. On 13 January 2012, in only his fifth Test match, Warner scored a 69-ball century against India at the WACA. At the time, this equalled West Indian Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the fourth fastest Test century of all time, in terms of balls faced.[58] He ultimately built his innings to a score of 180 from 159 balls,[59] setting a new personal high score in Test cricket. Warner in 2014 Warner scored 163 off 157 balls at the Gabba on 4 March 2012 in the first final of the CB Series against Sri Lanka. He batted until the last ball of the innings. It was his first ODI hundred for Australia. He followed it up with 100 and 48 in the other two finals at the Adelaide Oval. Warner's aggregate of 311 runs was the highest ever for the finals of an Australian Tri-Series, surpassing Greg Chappell's 266 runs in 1981.[60] During the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Warner started the World Cup decently by scoring 22 against England and 34 against New Zealand. But in their fourth match against Afghanistan, he scored 178 runs off 133 balls, which became his highest score in ODIs, helped Australia to score the highest team total in any World Cup and the highest in Australia. Warner ended up as the tournament's 11th highest scorer, scoring 345 runs at an average of 49.28.[61] Warner was one of Australia's better players during the 2015 Ashes in which Australia lost 3–2. Despite not registering a century, Warner scored 418 runs during the series, the fourth highest run-scorer behind Steve Smith, Chris Rogers and Joe Root. During the one-day series in England, bowler Steve Finn hit Warner's thumb, breaking it. This meant Warner took no part in the rest of the series and the scheduled series to Bangladesh which did not take place due to security issues.[62][63] In 2016, Warner had a reversal of form, scoring more runs in ODIs than Tests. Nevertheless, he still scored his 5,000th Test run and 3,000th home Test run against Pakistan on 28 December 2016.[64][65][66] Records and achievements Warner was the first Australian cricketer in 132 years to be selected for a national team in any format without experience in first-class cricket.[67] He is the fourth player to win the Allan Border Medal more than once and also win the award in consecutive years.[68] He is the first Australian batsman to score 7 ODI centuries in a calendar year.[69] Warner and Shane Watson have been the most successful opening pair in T20I history with 1108 runs (highest overall partnership runs by openers in T20Is). They are also the only opening pairs to have scored over 1000 runs in T20Is.[70] Both Warner and Watson as pairs scored 1154 runs in T20I history, the most by any pair in T20I history.[71] Warner is the first Australian and sixth overall to reach 1,500 T20I runs.[72] Warner also became the first batsman to ever score three centuries at The WACA, with his top 2 scores in Tests both achieved in the same stadium. His top score of 253 was also the second-highest individual score to be surpassed by an opposition batsman in the same Test match, which was surpassed during Ross Taylor's knock of 290.[73][74] On 7 November 2015, Warner became only the third batsman in history of Test cricket to score centuries in both innings of a Test match thrice, after Sunil Gavaskar and Ricky Ponting. In the very next Test match against New Zealand, he scored his maiden Test double century at the WACA, Perth,[75] his fourth consecutive century against New Zealand.[76] Warner celebrating his century in the fifth ODI against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2016 In that same match, Warner also became the second opener in Test cricket history, after India's Sunil Gavaskar, to score three consecutive Test hundreds twice in his career, and the only Australian since Adam Gilchrist to score three consecutive hundreds (a feat Warner had done twice in just 13 months),[76] while completing his 4,000 Test career runs as the 4th fastest Aussie batsman, the top three being the legendary Don Bradman, Matthew Hayden and Neil Harvey respectively.[77][78] On 3 January 2017, while playing against Pakistan at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he became only the fifth cricketer to score a century before lunch on the first day of a Test match, after Victor Trumper, Charlie Macartney, Don Bradman and Majid Khan. Of the five, he was the first to do so in Australia.[79] In Australia's second innings, with the team in need of quick runs, Warner clobbered a half century in a rapid 23 deliveries, making it the second fastest Test fifty of all time and the fastest by an Australian in the format. In the scheduled five ODIs against Pakistan, Warner progressed in a slow start but made two centuries in the final two ODIs at Sydney and Adelaide. At the 2017 Allan Border Awards, he was awarded Australia's ODI Player of the year and the elusive AB Medal.[80] His two centuries made him man of the series and in the following days, he ascended to the top of the ICC ODI Player Batting Rankings – marking his ascent to the top of ODI rankings his first.[81] He was later rested for the Chappell–Hadlee Trophy series in New Zealand, joining the second group of players in Dubai in preparation for a four-test series in India.[82] On 6 September 2017, while playing against Bangladesh at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong, he became the sixth Australian player to score back-to-back test hundreds in Asia after Allan Border, Bob Simpson, Damien Martyn, Michael Hussey and Michael Clarke.[83] On 28 September 2017 he played in his 100th ODI and became the first batsman for Australia and 8th batsman overall to score a century in his 100th ODI after Gordon Greenidge, Chris Cairns, Mohammad Yousuf, Kumar Sangakkara, Chris Gayle, Marcus Trescothick and Ramnaresh Sarwan.[84][85][86][87] On 27 December 2017, Warner scored a century in MCG during 2017–18 Ashes series, and on 5 January 2018, his 3rd consecutive half-century in the SCG.[88][89] On 27 October 2019, he scored his maiden T20I century, becoming the third Aussie to score centuries in all three formats of the game.[90] On 30 November 2019, Warner became the first batsman to score a triple century at Adelaide Oval with a score of 335* against Pakistan. He was the seventh Australian batsman to score a triple century, and the fourth to do so at an Australian ground. This score saw Warner surpass Sir Donald Bradman (334) and Mark Taylor (334*) to hold the second highest Test score by an Australian batsman, behind only Matthew Hayden.

Australia won all five matches he captained (three ODIs and two T20Is), won the ODI series 4–1 and the T20I series 2–0.[94] He again deputized as captain for the 2017–18 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series (also involving New Zealand and England), with Australia winning the competition.[95] Ball-tampering incident and suspension Main article: 2018 Australian ball-tampering scandal On the morning of 25 March 2018, during the same match, Smith and Warner were forced to step down as captain and vice-captain of the Australian team, but still took to the field,[96][97] after the ICC found Smith guilty of being "party to a decision to attempt to change the condition of the ball".[98][99] The day before, opening batsman Cameron Bancroft was seen using yellow sandpaper for ball tampering during South Africa's second innings.[96] Smith had admitted that the "leadership group" had discussed ball tampering during the lunch break, but did not name those involved.[100] Cricket Australia launched a separate investigation into the incident as a matter of urgency, led by Executive general manager Team Performance Pat Howard, along with Senior Legal Counsel and Head of Integrity Iain Roy.[101] Their interviews of players and support staff began on 26 March 2018.[102] CA CEO James Sutherland joined the investigators in South Africa.[103] On 27 March 2018, before the findings of that investigation were handed down, specialist opening batter Matt Renshaw was urgently recalled to the squad from Australia for the Fourth Test. On 27 March 2018, Sutherland announced that as a result of the preliminary investigation Smith, Warner and Bancroft had been charged with bringing the game into disrepute, suspended and sent home. He said that further sanctions against the trio would be announced within 24 hours. He added that as well as Renshaw, Joe Burns and Glenn Maxwell had been recalled to the squad for the Fourth Test to replace them. While he also announced that Tim Paine had been appointed as the captain for the upcoming Fourth Test, there was no announcement as to who would fill Warner's previous role as vice-captain.[4] The Cricket Australia board convened on 28 March 2018 to determine the sanctions to be imposed on Smith, Warner and Bancroft.[104] Warner was found to be responsible for the development of the plan to alter the condition of the ball and instructing Bancroft on how to do it, including demonstrating the technique to him.[105] He was also found to have misled match officials by concealing his knowledge of the plan and not voluntarily reporting his involvement. As a result, Warner was banned from playing international and Australian domestic cricket for 1 year, must perform 100 hours of community service, and was permanently banned from leadership positions.[5] At the same time, Warner's contract with personal sponsor LG Electronics was due for renewal. On 28 March 2018, they announced that they had decided not to continue their commercial relationship with him in light of the recent controversial events and dropped him as the brand ambassador of the LG Electronic Company.[106][107] Later that day, Warner's contract with Asics was terminated, they announced that it was a result of the last weekends events in Cape Town and following the sanctions made by Cricket Australia.[108] On 28 March 2018, it was announced by a team executive that Warner had stood down from the captaincy of his IPL team, Sunrisers Hyderabad,[109] and after the Cricket Australia sanctions announced, Warner was banned from the 2018 IPL.[110] Warner broke his silence by posting on Twitter on 29 March. He apologized for his part in the incident, and took responsibility for it.[111][112] He said that he would spend some time with his family, friends and trusted advisers, and would make another statement in the coming days.[113][114] In April 2018, Surrey head coach and former Australian cricketer Michael Di Venuto stated that he would be open to David Warner and Steven Smith playing for his county team.[115] Return to international cricket In April 2019, he was named in Australia's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[116][117] After missing 2018–19 season, Warner was awarded a national contract by Cricket Australia for the 2019–20 season.[118][119] On 1 June 2019, Warner played in Australia's opening match of the Cricket World Cup, against Afghanistan, at the County Ground in Bristol and was awarded player of the match for scoring 89 not out off 114 balls.[120] He was also named player of the match in Australia's third match against Pakistan. Here he made 107, his first century on returning to international cricket.[121] On 20 June 2019, in the match against Bangladesh, Warner scored 166 runs, becoming the first batsman to score two 150+ scores in the Cricket World Cup.[122] Nine days later, in the match against New Zealand, Warner scored his 13,000th run in international cricket.[123] He finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer for Australia and with 647 runs in ten matches, he also finished as the second highest run-scorer in the entire tournament behind Rohit Sharma.[124] In July 2019, he was named in Australia's squad for the 2019 Ashes series in England.[125][126] However, he had a poor series, scoring only 95 runs over 10 innings at an average of 9.5. His only score of note was 61 at Headingley, that being his only score above 50, whilst he made a pair at Old Trafford and was dismissed seven times by Stuart Broad during the series. On 27 October 2019, in the first T20I match against Sri Lanka, Warner scored his first century in T20I cricket, from just 56 balls, becoming the third Australian batsman to score centuries in all three formats of the international game after Shane Watson and Glenn Maxwell.[127] He continued his good form with an unbeaten 60 in the second T20I and 57 in the third. He scored a total of 217 runs (most ever runs by an Australian in a three-match T20I series) and was awarded the player of the series.[128] On 30 November 2019, Warner scored his maiden Test Triple century, scoring 335 not out against Pakistan, which is the second-highest individual score for an Australian Test batsman behind Matthew Hayden's 380 and also saw Warner surpassing the record of Azhar Ali's 302 to register the highest ever individual score in an innings of a day/night test match. He also became the second batsman to score a triple century in a pink ball test.[129][130] On 14 January 2020, in the first ODI match against India, Warner completed his 5000 runs in One Day Internationals becoming the fastest Australian and fourth fastest batsman in the world to reach this milestone.[131] On 16 July 2020, Warner was named in a 26-man preliminary squad of players to begin training ahead of a possible tour to England following the COVID-19 pandemic.[132][133] On 14 August 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed that the fixtures would be taking place, with Warner included in the touring party.[134][135] Warner was included in the ODI, T20I and Test squads for India's tour of Australia taking place from November 2020 to January 2021.[136][137][138] After scoring 69 and 83 runs in the first and second ODI respectively, he sustained a groin injury while fielding in the second innings of the second ODI and was ruled out for the remaining ODI, T20Is and the first two Tests.[139][140][141] Following his return for the final two Tests, he failed to make any major impact after scoring just 67 runs across the four innings at an average of 16.75.[142][143] In August 2021, Warner was named in Australia's squad for the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup.[144] He entered the T20 World Cup following a disappointing IPL season with Sunrisers Hyderabad, however he quickly turned around his form around and went on to play a crucial role for Australia in the tournament. He scored 289 runs (second-highest in the tournament) with three half-centuries including one in the final where he scored 53 off 38 balls helping Australia win their maiden T20 World Cup and was named Player of the Tournament.[145][146] In November 2021, Warner was named in Australia's squad for the 2021–22 Ashes taking place in Australia.[147] He scored 273 runs across 8 innings at an average of 34.12, he scored two fifties and also made a pair at Hobart in the series.[148] During Australia's 2022 tour of Pakistan, Warner failed to impress, scoring 169 runs in 5 innings, at an average of 33.80 and scored 2 fifties with a high score of 68. Warner had also missed the 3 match ODI series and the one-off T20I.[149][150] However, Warner performed considerably better against Sri Lanka during Australia's 2022 tour of Sri Lanka; as he scored 130 runs in 3 innings, at an average of 65.00, with a high score of 70 during the T20I series and was the leading run scorer.[151] Warner was not able to translate this during the ODI series, as he scored 155 runs in five innnings at and average of 31.0 and reached a high score of 99 during the fourth ODI, before being stumped by Niroshan Dickwella.[152]This became the second time a batsman was dismissed on 99 in an ODI by the way of stumping, the first being VVS Laxman in November 2002. Warner failed to impress again during the test series, as during the first innings of the first test, he scored 25 runs off of 24 balls before being dismissed. In the second innings, Warner scored a four and a six to win the first test match by 10 wickets, as the target was 5 runs.[153] In the first innings of the second test, Warner scored 5 runs off of 13 balls before being dismissed. He scored 24 runs off of 44 balls in the second innings, where Australia collapsed and were bowled out for 151 runs. Sri Lanka won the second test match by an innings an 39 runs and drew the series 1-1.[154] Warner finished the test series with 64 runs in 4 innings, with a high score of 25 and a batting average of 21.33.[155] Playing style Warner is known for his aggressive left-handed batting style favoring the aerial route and for his ability to switch hit, using the back of his bat or by taking a right-handed stance. He prefers to score on his off side, and has a very high strike rate as a Test batsman.[156] In all of his Test centuries (as of 26 December 2017), he had never had a strike rate of below 52.5, and only 3 of below 72.[157] He is an athletic fielder and also a part-time spin bowler. His bowling style is rare in that he mixes medium-pace bowling with his more usual leg spin bowling. At 170cm in stature, Warner generates his batting power from strong forearms and his low centre of gravity allows him to get underneath deliveries and hit them high in the air. In a Twenty20 match for New South Wales in 2009, he hooked a six off Shaun Tait that landed on the roof of the Adelaide Oval, only a month after hooking the same bowler 20 rows back at the SCG.[158] Controversies On 12 June 2013, Warner was dropped for Australia's second match in 2013 ICC Champions Trophy match against New Zealand following an attack on Joe Root.[159] The event happened hours after Saturday's loss to England at Edgbaston. According to the sports journalist Pat Murphy, the incident took place at 2 am at the Walkabout bar in the centre of Birmingham, UK. On 13 June 2013, Cricket Australia announced that Warner was to be fined £7,000 (AU $11,500) and would not play for his country until the first Ashes Test on 10 July 2013. Warner subsequently missed the rest of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and the tour matches against Somerset and Worcestershire.[160] Warner attracted further controversy soon after. On 27 July 2013, whilst playing for Australia A against South Africa A in Pretoria he was involved in an on-field altercation with South Africa A wicket-keeper Thami Tsolekile. This was deemed serious enough for the umpires to step in twice; however, no formal complaints were made and Warner tweeted later in the day describing it as "friendly banter". Despite this, writers called into question his return to the Australia squad for the third Ashes Test against England, which seemed likely after scoring 193 in the first innings of this match.[161] He was eventually recalled.[162] In 2015, former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe called for a yellow-card and red-card system to be introduced to international cricket to curb Warner's "thuggish" on-field behaviour, stating that Warner was "the most juvenile cricketer I have seen on a cricket field".[163] On 4 March 2018, during tea in the 1st Test in Durban, Warner was involved in an altercation with South African Wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock. De Kock had allegedly made a vulgar comment about Warner's wife Candice.[164] Warner fired back at De Kock and was restrained by teammates Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith.[165] Warner was charged with a Level 2 Offence and bringing the game to disrepute by the International Cricket Council and was given three demerit points and was fined 75% of his match fee.[166][167] On 22 March 2018, after being dismissed in the first innings of the Third Test of that series held in Cape Town, Warner responded to baiting from a spectator which escalated into an unsavoury heated exchange as he walked to the dressing room. The spectator was subsequently ejected from the ground.[168] link :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Warner_(cricketer)
