By Matthew Geagan, CBS Boston BOSTON (CBS) — February is nearly over, and the Boston Celtics currently sit below .500. Let that sink in, as the Celtics continue to sink in the Eastern Conference standings. READ MORE: Life Threatening Injuries After Several People Hit On High Street In Boston This is the latest that the team has had more losses than wins since the 2014-15 season, when Boston finished 40-42 to secure the eight-seed in the East. Since that season, the Celtics are usually flirting with 40 wins by this point in the campaign. By this time, the team is usually well on its way to locking up one of the top four spots in the Eastern Conference. Alas, this is not a regular season, and the C’s have only played 31 games. Unfortunately, they’ve lost 16 of those, including five of the last seven and 10 of the last 15. They just keep sinking and sinking, and Boston is now barely hanging on to one of the final playoff spots in the conference. Any way you cut it, this is a … [Read more...] about Celtics Feel Pretty Sunk After Dipping Below .500

Snap plans to take its India localisation strategy to the world
After ignoring the country in its early years, the social media company is doubling down on the Indian market by rolling out localised versions of its offerings. This includes rebuilding of Snapchat 's Android app with support for nine Indian languages and an India-specific version of its content discovery platform Discover that now has over 85 local channels. In October 2020, it announced its first slate of mobile-first licensed and original shows for the Indian market along with its first gaming partner in the country. To be sure, India was one of the first markets where Snap Inc. made investments to localise its product, including building local augmented-reality creator communities, adding local content, and investing in local marketing initiatives. These tactics form the basis of a "repeatable playbook we can now leverage to drive growth", Andersen said. "We focused on India early because it has a large and fast-growing population of young smartphone users, high-speed … [Read more...] about Snap plans to take its India localisation strategy to the world
Amit Shah Wants Cheteshwar Pujara to Score Double Century And Help India Beat England in Pink-Ball Test at Narendra Modi Stadium
After witnessing several records and milestones in the past, the newly-built Motera is all set to host another enthralling game of cricket when India take on England in the third Test. Before the start of the match, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday expressed his desire as he wishes to see Cheteshwar Pujara score a double century and guide India to a memorable victory against England in the pink-ball Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium. “This stadium is very memorable for Javagal Srinath. He took six wickets against South Africa, on the same ground, Kapil Dev broke Richard’s Hadlee tally of wickets. On this same ground, Sunil Gavaskar achieved the milestone of 10,000 runs. On this same ground, Sachin Tendulkar achieved the 18,000 ODI runs and he completed his 20 years in international cricket here. I wish Pujara scores double century here and he helps India to win against England,” said Amit Shah during the inauguration ceremony of the Narendra Modi Stadium. When Pujara last … [Read more...] about Amit Shah Wants Cheteshwar Pujara to Score Double Century And Help India Beat England in Pink-Ball Test at Narendra Modi Stadium
India vs England, 3rd Test: Axar Patel’s six-for, Ashwin spin out visitors for 112 at Motera Stadium
Axar, playing in just his second Test, scalped six wickets while Ashwin returned with three wickets as the visitors were bowled out in just 48.4 overs. This was Axar's second five-wicket haul in a row as he had scalped five in the second innings of the second Test as well. Resuming the second session at 81/4, England got off to the worst possible start as both Ben Stokes (6) and Ollie Pope (1) were sent back to the pavilion. Stokes was trapped plumb in front of the wickets and as a result, Axar was rewarded with his third wicket. Ashwin on the other hand sent Pope packing for just 1. If the former England players were critical of the Chepauk wicket, the lack of application from the English batsmen in the first innings of the third Test can have no excuses. Playing down the wrong line was the crux of the story and just like the top-order batsmen, Jofra Archer (11) too tried to cut a straight delivery and was clean bowled by Axar as the visitors were reduced to 93/7. This was … [Read more...] about India vs England, 3rd Test: Axar Patel’s six-for, Ashwin spin out visitors for 112 at Motera Stadium
