MELBOURNE, May 2 (Reuters) - Paceman Josh Hazlewood handed Australia an Ashes boost as he made a successful return from an Achilles injury to help Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs in the Indian Premier League. Hazlewood took 2-15 in his three overs as RCB successfully defended a modest total of 126 for nine on Monday. "It has been a long layoff," Hazlewood said of his four-months on the sidelines since injuring his Achilles during the Sydney test in January. It is great to be back out here, in front of some good fans, and have a good hit out." Hazlewood took 20 wickets at an average of 21.85 in four tests during the 2019 Ashes in England, which ended in a 2-2 draw and saw Australia retain the urn.

MUMBAI, Sept 5 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The gloves are coming off in India’s content wars, and the traditionally cautious Disney (DIS.N) is proving a more ruthless fighter than many had expected. It also will hold digital rights to the ICC games throughout the rest of the year. By selling off some of the rights, Disney might reduce its spend on the ICC by a third or more. The American-owned company will hold onto the streaming rights for its digital platform, Disney+ Hotstar. The ICC said on Aug. 27 that Disney had won the TV and digital rights to events through the end of 2027.

☆ Ce s-a ales de uriaşul combinat de prelucrarea lemnului de la Sebeş. Cândva era fala industriei de profil
▼ + stars: | 2000-09-20 | by ( Dorin Ţimonea | ) adevarul.ro time to read: +5 min

Decizia de a construi Combinatul de Industrializare şi Prelucrare a Lemnului din Sebeş a venit în 1965, în urma unei vizite a conducerii superioare de partid şi de stat în oraş. După anul 1990 s-a pus problema retehnologizării Combinatului de prelucrare a lemnului din Sebeş. Din cauza dimensiunilor acestuia, care făceau imposibilă orice privatizare, în 1995 s-au format două societăţi: SC MDF Sebeş SA, care cuprindea fosta fabrică PFL şi SC Mobis SA Sebeş cu restul fabricilor. În noiembrie 1997, SC MDF Sebeş SA a fost vândută concernului italian Frati, companie care a fost achiziţionată ulterior de SC Kronospan. SC Mobis Sebeş producea şi comercializa mobilier şi semifabricate din lemn.
