Prince William talks his and Kate’s ‘favourite program’ Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey bosses have denied reports the show ended because they could not secure Dame Maggie Smith for a seventh series. In an interview with Deadline, he said: “We easily could have gone for a seventh season”.

“I think it’s more of an administrative decision than a coaching decision”, he said.


The Philadelphia Eagles’ Front Office Is An Absolute Train Wreck
While some players refused to talk about Kelly’s firing, many other Eagles were accepting the blame for their coach’s downfall. Most of the former Eagles haven’t done much, and I think the question for Kelly is who he opted to go to in many cases.

The pacer also said he was ready to face taunts and harsh remarks on and off the grounds.

Patterson was wearing all black in the first half but decided “the black wasn’t working” and changed to a purple wardrobe instead. The resulting field position advantages led TCU to score their own 31 unanswered points, with a late field goal forcing overtime.

Afridi later told the media that Amir had told him the truth about his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal the first time he asked him in England.

A PCB official said legal information with regard to Amir’s conviction and departure from the United Kingdom has been submitted with the New Zealand consulate.

“In the camp I met all, and I am happy they all heard me”.

His place on the tour which features three Twenty20 internationals and three one-day internationals from January 15-31 is subject to being granted a visa by the New Zealand authorities.

“We are not undermining other players and forcing him [back] but there is always a difference between normal and extraordinary players”, Rasheed said of Amir.

White says the bowler was a young man who did something wrong a number of years ago and admitted guilt immediately. Playing cricket in England is what I am looking forward to and I would love to bowl at Lord’s again. Imagine, for a person who had played at Lord’s, to play with a club team who didn’t have proper kit against another club team in Lahore.

After the completion of his sentence he impressed the PCB and selectors with his performance both in domestic and Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) which resulted in his inclusion in training camp meant for New Zealand tour. But in September this year the International Cricket Council lifted sanctions against the three players. “ODIs and T20 cricket have changed a lot and we have to see how he adopts to the changed scenario now”, he added. The former Test opener felt Amir had been fast-tracked back into the national team because of his undeniable talent.
