We discuss the shocking decision to open with Kamindu Mendis, Kusal Mendis's evolving captaincy style, and the "pace battery" led by a hungry Dushmantha Chameera. From pitch conditions at Sabina Park to the middle-order stability provided by Janith Liyanage, this is your comprehensive guide to the new look of Sri Lankan cricket. Was Kamindu Mendis opening the batting a stroke of genius or just a one-off experiment?

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell break down the challenges facing the West Indies cricket team ahead of a crucial second ODI against Sri Lanka. Following a disappointing performance in the series opener, the pair discuss the tactical changes needed for the Caribbean side to bounce back and keep the series alive. Jordan and Kieran analyse the current West Indies ODI squad and make the case for the inclusion of Amir Jangoo, arguing that his addition could provide greater batting depth and stability in the middle order. The discussion also focuses on one of the team's biggest issues against Sri Lanka's spin attack – the inability to rotate the strike consistently and reduce dot-ball pressure during the middle overs. The hosts explore how West Indies batsmen can better counter spin bowling, maintain scoring momentum, and build partnerships on challenging surfaces. On the bowling side, they examine the importance of varying pace, adapting to changing pitch conditions, and using smarter field placements to create wicket-taking opportunities. With captain Shai Hope once again carrying much of the batting responsibility, Jordan and Kieran highlight the urgent need for greater contributions from the top order if West Indies are to level the ODI series. Can the Windies respond under pressure, or will Sri Lanka tighten their grip on the contest? Tune in for expert cricket analysis, West Indies cricket insights, ODI tactics, team selection debates, and all the key talking points ahead of this pivotal Sri Lanka vs West Indies clash. #WestIndiesCricket #WIcricket #CricketPodcast #PowettPlayPodcast #JordanShannon #KieranPowell #CricketDiscussion #ODICricket #T20Cricket #TestCricket #SriLankaCricket #Windies #CaribbeanCricket #CricketFans #CricketTalk #CricketAnalysis #ICCWorldCup #RoadToWorldCup #FastBowling #SpinBowling #CricketSelection #CricketStrategy #CricketDebate #WorldCricket #InternationalCricket #CricketCommunity #CricketLife #CricketNews #CricketUpdates #CricketLovers #PodcastRecommendation #SportsPodcast #CricketWorld #WestIndies #CricketCoaching #WhiteBallCricket #RedBallCricket #ODISquad #T20Squad #FutureOfCricket Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell break down the West Indies' opening ODI defeat to Sri Lanka, analysing the key moments that shaped the result and what the Caribbean side must do to bounce back in the remainder of the series. The pair discuss whether a lack of recent 50-over cricket contributed to a rusty West Indies performance, while giving credit to Sri Lanka's experienced batsmen for building match-defining partnerships and capitalising on tactical errors in the field. Jordan and Kieran examine the positives from the defeat, including Justin Greaves' impressive transition to the opening role, and explain why his performance could become a significant asset for the West Indies in ODI cricket. The discussion also focuses on the turning points that swung the match in Sri Lanka's favour, including a crucial run-out and costly middle-order batting lapses that prevented West Indies from building momentum. The hosts analyse the team's batting and bowling performances, assess the tactical decisions made throughout the contest, and explore what adjustments are needed ahead of the second ODI. Looking forward, Jordan and Kieran discuss the challenges of day-night cricket in Sri Lankan conditions and the importance of adapting quickly if West Indies are to level the series. With ICC Cricket World Cup qualification firmly in focus, they explain why every match carries added significance and why the team can no longer afford mistakes as they pursue automatic qualification.

Hebrejom 11,8-22 8 Vo viere Abrahám poslúchol, keď ho Boh volal, aby odišiel na miesto, ktoré mal dostať ako dedičstvo. Odišiel, hoci nevedel, kam ide. 9 Na základe viery sa usadil v prisľúbenej zemi ako v cudzej a býval v stanoch s Izákom a Jákobom, spoludedičmi toho istého prisľúbenia. 10 Očakával totiž mesto s pevnými základmi, ktorého tvorcom a staviteľom je Boh. 11 Vo viere aj neplodná Sára dostala silu počať potomka, hoci už prešiel jej čas, lebo pokladala za verného toho, čo jej dal prisľúbenie. 12 A tak z jedného muža, ktorého sila odumrela, sa narodilo také množstvo potomkov, ako je hviezd na nebi a piesku na morskom brehu, ktorý sa nedá spočítať. 13 Títo všetci umierali vo viere, aj keď nedosiahli to, čo bolo prisľúbené, ale iba z diaľky to videli a pozdravovali. Vyznávali, že sú na zemi cudzincami a pútnikmi. 14 Tí, čo takto hovoria, naznačujú, že hľadajú vlasť. 15 Keby totiž mysleli na tú, z ktorej vyšli, boli by mali dosť času vrátiť sa. 16 Teraz však túžia po lepšej, čiže po nebeskej. Preto sa ani Boh nehanbí volať sa ich Bohom, veď im pripravil mesto. 17 Vo viere Abrahám obetoval Izáka, keď bol skúšaný, a jednorodeného prinášal ako obetu ten, ktorý dostal prisľúbenia 18 a ktorému bolo povedané: Po Izákovi sa bude volať tvoje potomstvo. 19 Usudzoval totiž, že Boh má moc vzkriesiť aj mŕtvych. Preto dostal Izáka naspäť aj ako predobraz vzkriesenia. 20 Vo viere Izák požehnal Jákoba a Ezáva v pohľade do budúcnosti. 21 Vo viere Jákob, keď umieral, požehnal každého z Jozefových synov a poklonil sa opretý o vrch svojej palice. 22 Vo viere Jozef, keď zomieral, hovoril o odchode synov Izraela a pripomenul im, čo majú urobiť s jeho kosťami. Nebeský kus zeme. Abrahám, Izák, Jákob, Jozef – to sú ďalšie zvučné mená nielen pre Izraelcov, ale aj pre nás, kresťanov. Sú príkladom skutočnej viery, ktorá sa nespolieha na seba, ale na Božie zasľúbenia. Abrahámovi sľúbil Boh, že bude vlastniť kanaánsku krajinu. Kus zeme. No Abrahám žil napriek tomu v stanoch. Bol pútnikom a jediný kus zeme, ktorý si v Kanaáne kúpil, bol hrob pre jeho manželku Sáru. Čím to bolo, že aj keď mal na Kanaán nárok, lebo mu ho sľúbil sám Boh, predsa len bol na zem upätý len veľmi málo? Pretože on svoju nádej upínal k mestu, ktorého Staviteľom je Pán Boh. Nebeské mesto – nový Jeruzalem – to je ten najlepší podiel, kus zeme, po ktorom túžil nielen Abrahám, ale aj jeho potomkovia – a po ktorom by sme mali zo všetkého najviac túžiť aj my. Nie po pominuteľnom svete, ale po tom v nebesiach, v Božom meste. Toto pôsobí viera v Pána Ježiša Krista dnes v našom srdci. Toto pôsobila viera v srdci praotcov Izraela. Čo pôsobí tvoja viera? Máš svoj nebeský kus zeme? Modlitba: Pane Bože, ďakujem Ti, že si aj pre mňa pripravil miesto, kus zeme v Tvojom nebeskom meste! Ďakujem za všetky príklady skutočnej viery, ktorá sa spolieha na Teba! Amen. Pieseň: ES 199 Autor: Janka Maťová Dobrotivý Hospodin, odpusť každému, kto sa úprimne odhodlal vzývať Boha Hospodina. 2.Kronická 30,18-19 Ježiš rozpráva podobenstvo: Syn vstal teda a šiel k svojmu otcovi. Ešte bol ďaleko, keď ho otec zbadal. Zľutoval sa nad ním, pribehol k nemu, hodil sa mu okolo krku a vybozkával ho. Lukáš 15,20 Skutky apoštolov 18,1-11 • Modlíme sa za: Sása (HoS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes moja viera pripomína vieru Abraháma — či som ochotný vyjsť, keď ma Boh volá, aj keď nevidím cieľ? Kde v mojom živote potrebujem žiť ako pútnik v stanoch, upínať sa viac na nebeské mesto než na pominuteľné istoty tu na zemi? Ako môžem dnes napodobniť ich dôveru (Sára v počatí, Abrahám v obete, Jozef v odovzdávaní) v konkrétnej rozhodnutosti alebo čine pre vieru? Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester. Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022. “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC. One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.” James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.” A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton. Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane. Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).” Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others. His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

Auckland FC are also in A-League finals with an away leg to Adelaide coming up after their draw at Mt Smart and continue to battle injuries as well as somehow getting players back from injuries quicker than expected. Charlisse Leger-Walker scored her first WNBA points, Carlin Davison's back with NZ Breakers and Auckland Tuatara are leading the NBL. White Ferns lost their first ODI vs England and have low hanging fruit to improve, while the Blackcaps Test squad to tour Ireland and England was announced last week so we finish with a few thoughts on Tom Blundell, Michael Bracewell, Jacob Duffy.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/elnichecacheSubstack: https://thenichecache.substack.comDonate: https://buymeacoffee.com/thenichecachethenichecache@gmail.com
VYPLŇTE NÁŠ PODCASTOVÝ PRIESKUM: http://www.zabavavpodcastoch.sk/prieskum Odišli hľadať šťastie a lepší život na opačný koniec sveta. Azda takto by sme mohli zhrnúť základný motív českých a slovenských emigrantov v ďalekej Austrálii, ktorý stál za ich rozhodnutím opustiť svoju domovskú krajinu. Bolo by však až príliš veľkým zjednodušením, ak by sme zostali len pri tomto konštatovaní. Rodné Československo totiž často opúšťali nedobrovoľne, neodchádzali len za lepším životom, ale aj za slobodou a perspektívou, že už viac nebudú musieť čeliť politickým perzekúciám. To je naopak motív vlastný Čechom a Slovákom, ktorí zo svojej vlasti utekali po roku 1948 či po roku 1968. Mnohí z nich svoje miesto a novú životnú perspektívu napokon našli práve v Austrálii. Dejinám československej emigrácii sa dnes už venujú viacerí historici a je predmetom odborného spracovania. Ľudský rozmer tejto kapitoly našich dejín sa však rozhodla zmapovať publicistka Soňa Gyarfašová vo svojom dokumentačnom cykle Po stopách pamäti: Príbehy z opačného konca sveta. Mnohí z týchto emigrantov totiž ešte žijú a môžu nám porozprávať svoj vlastný príbeh. Cesta za týmto rozprávaním zaviedla dnešnú hostku podcastu Dejiny práve do krajiny našich protinožcov. Ako sama hovorí, splnila si tým svoj cestovateľský sen, ale i svoju dokumentačnú ambíciu. So Soňou Gyarfašovou sa preto rozprávame o tejto jej ceste, ale predovšetkým o ceste a životnom osude ľudí, ktorí ani v ďalekej Austrálii nezabudli na svoju vlasť. Tento podcast vychádza vďaka podpore Aukčnej spoločnosti SOGA, pri príležitosti 30. výročia jej založenia. Ďakujeme za podporu.

Hi everyone, Building on our last episode we continue looking at how BFR can help people with low back pain. Chronic nonspecific low back pain is a massive hurdle for athletes who must maintain high training loads to compete. Traditionally, achieving meaningful strength adaptations requires loads of at least 70% 1RM. However, for an athlete with compromised lumbar stability and inhibited core musculature (like the transversus abdominis and multifidus), this heavy loading can exacerbate muscle imbalances, increase joint stress, and perpetuate a vicious cycle of pain, inhibition, and weakness. In this episode, we unpacked another article that asks a pivotal question: How does low-load Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training compare to heavy-load resistance training for male collegiate athletes actively suffering from chronic back pain? The study compared low-load BFR strength against traditional (non-BFR) strenght training. The program was a 4-week intervention, and highlighted signification reductions in pain (VAS) and functional disability (ODI) in favour of the BFR group. The study also explored the nuanced changes in isokinetic core strength, revealing a fascinating trade-off: heavy lifting drives slow-velocity strength, while BFR drives high-velocity, explosive strength. Then I finish the episode by providing my own take on how to practically apply BFR into an athlete's routine without sacrificing sports performance. Article: "The effect of blood flow restriction training on core muscle strength and pain in male collegiate athletes with chronic non-specific low back pain." Frontiers in Public Health, January 2025. Discussion Points The physiological mechanism behind BFR's pain-reducing effects: creating a hypoxic environment, metabolite accumulation, and dampening pain-sensing input. Comparing pain (VAS) and functional disability (ODI) outcomes: why BFR achieved large effect sizes (1.44) and outperformed heavy loading. Isometric core endurance (McGill battery): recognizing that trunk extensor endurance improvements are load-agnostic. Isokinetic dynamometry results: BFR's unique ability to increase fast-velocity (120 degrees/sec) extensor strength due to preferential fast-twitch fiber recruitment. Practical application: How to integrate core-specific stabilization, axial-deloaded heavy exercises (like belt squats and leg presses), and upper body BFR into a comprehensive athletic rehab program.

Hebrejom 2,11-18 11 Veď aj ten, kto posväcuje, ako aj tí, čo sú posväcovaní, pochádzajú z jedného. Preto sa nehanbí nazvať ich bratmi, 12 keď hovorí: Tvoje meno budem ohlasovať svojim bratom a uprostred zhromaždenia ťa budem ospevovať. 13 A znova: Ja budem v neho dúfať. A zasa: Hľa, ja i moje deti, ktoré mi dal Boh. 14 Keďže deti majú účasť na krvi a tele, podobne i on sa stal jedným z nich, aby smrťou zničil toho, čo mal moc nad smrťou, totiž diabla, 15 aby vyslobodil tých, ktorých po celý život zotročoval strach pred smrťou. 16 Veď sa neujíma anjelov, ale Abrahámovho potomstva. 17 Preto sa vo všetkom musel pripodobniť bratom, aby sa stal milosrdným a verným veľkňazom pred Bohom a odčinil hriechy ľudu. 18 A pretože sám v tom, čo pretrpel, bol skúšaný, môže pomáhať tým, čo sú skúšaní. Zblízka. Myslím si, že mnohí z nás zažili situáciu, keď nám niekto z úprimného srdca chcel poradiť, ale my, akoby sme cítili, že jeho srdce je našim potrebám až priveľmi vzdialené. Úplne inak sme však vnímali pomoc človeka, ktorý prešiel rovnakou alebo podobnou situáciou ako my. Pociťovali sme blízkosť získanú spoločnou skúsenosťou. Možno sa nám niekedy zdá, že Boh je nám príliš vzdialený – našej ľudskej skúsenosti, nášmu pozemskému životu. No nie je to tak. Slovo, ktoré sme si prečítali, nám odhaľuje hlboké tajomstvo blízkosti Božieho Syna. On vzal na Seba našu ľudskosť so všetkými slabosťami a obmedzeniami. Pán Ježiš vie, čo je to bolesť, strach, úzkosť, osamelosť, pokušenie. Pozná pocity radosti, potešenia, ale vie aj o tom, ako sa cítime, keď sme slabí, vyčerpaní, unavení a s akou realitou musíme dennodenne bojovať. Uvedomujeme si, že tomuto zápasu dáva hlbší zmysel. Vieme, že nás oslobodil od všetkého, čo nás spútavalo a robilo neslobodnými. On dal zmysel nášmu životu, radosti, ale aj utrpeniu a skúškam. V Jeho živote, smrti a vzkriesení môžeme nájsť cestu k pravej slobode, ktorá vie a verí, že Boh je stále medzi nami, je blízko nás. Modlitba: Pane Ježišu Kriste, ďakujeme Ti za dar radosti, potešenia, nádeje! Ty vieš, že v ťažkých chvíľach nás niekedy premáhajú rôzne pocity. Dokonca si niekedy myslíme, že si príliš vzdialený na to, aby si dokázal pochopiť, čo prežívame. Prosíme, pomôž nám, aby sme sa nedali oklamať. Ty si prešiel realitou ľudského života na tejto zemi. Pomôž nám Tebe dôverovať, uvedomovať si a prežívať Tvoju blízkosť! Amen. Pieseň: ES 456 Autor: Lívia Lichancová Hospodin, Ty zrána počuješ môj hlas. Ráno Ti pripravím obetu a počkám. Žalm 5,4 Nadránom, zavčasu, ešte za tmy Ježiš vstal a vyšiel von. Odišiel na osamelé miesto a tam sa modlil. Marek 1,35 1.Korinťanom 14,6-9.15-19 • Modlíme sa za: Pribylina (LOS) Otázky na rozjímanie: Ako dnes prežívam Ježiša, ktorý sa nehanbí volať nás bratmi, pochádzajúc z jedného s posväcujúcim? Čo pre mňa znamená, že sa pripodobnil bratom v krvi a tele, zničil diabla mocou nad smrťou a vyslobodil z otroctva strachu? Ako môžem dnes dôverovať veľkňazovi, ktorý skúšaný utrpením pomáha skúšaným, odčiňujúc hriechy Abrahámovho potomstva? Dnes som vďačný za tieto 3 veci: _________________________________ _________________________________ _________________________________ Viac o vďačnosti, čo to je, prečo je dôležité byť vďačný, ako praktizovať vďačnosť nájdeš na blogu

Banned In Sparta”- Collaborative Album with Classical Greek Poets and Modern Folk Singers Helmed by Robin BatteauRobin Batteau's “Banned in Sparta” is a collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester. Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022. “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC. One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.” James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.” A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton. Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane. Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

England can finally toast a series victory this winter with a barnstorming batting performance in the final ODI in Sri Lanka. On the back of a 20th ODI century by Joe Root and a stylish 67 from Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook assaulted the wilting Sri Lankan attack as only he can with a quite remarkable 136 not out off 66 balls with nine sixes. It was a reminder of his exceptional talent which mostly went missing in the Ashes. It sets England up well for the T20 World Cup to follow, although, as Simon Hughes and Simon Mann discuss, the bowling is a worry. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
