In a country plagued by violent crime, alleged sexual offenders are rarely brought to court swiftly—if at all.

To name a few: You won’t find his name on the first eight pages of ESPN’s Defensive Real Plus-Minus, Boston’s defensive rating drops from 105.2 to 99.6 when Bradley is on the bench and he’s not among the league leaders in defensive win shares....

Home advantage has long been a talking point for Test cricket, and the toss has quite rightly been at the forefront of the discussion. The problem that arises is that when teams have home advantage as well as toss advantage in their favour, it presents an almost impossible task for touring teams. Even with the away side having the choice whether to bat or bowl, a good team should still be more than capable of winning at home....
