We Are, Therefore News Is.

Gutenberg and Google, two of the most significant creations in the history of mankind in the modern era, succeeded in making living quite impossible without them, in their respective times.

With New Zealand bowler Trent Boult bowling in the final over and 15 runs needed off 4, Stokes swung his bat to smash a sixer over the mid-wicket. Now, 9 needed off 3. The big moment arrived when the fourth delivery turned into a 2+4 miraculously. After Stokes hit the ball, he ran to secure a double while opponent Martin Guptill went for a direct hit. The throw hit Stokes’s bat as he div
