Wellington Firebirds opener Finn Allen has been placed on stand-by for his international debut with out-of-form veteran Martin Guptill getting the nod for the upcoming Twenty20 series against Australia.
Despite Allen scoring 512 runs at a strike rate of 193 in the Firebirds Super Smash title run, Black Caps selectors have gone with Guptill if he passes a fitness test.
The five-match series begins at Hagley Oval on February 22.
It saddens me that my black kinsmen get killed, injured, arrested in Marib: Alhodheifi 2/14/2021 7:15:00 PM الصحوة نت - خاص
The chief of the National Union for Marginalized Yemenis (of African origin) said in a tweet he feels sad that members of his black community get killed, injured and arrested as Houthi militants exploit them to fuel the war against the government in Marib governorate.
Noaman al-Hodheifi said in a tweet: “I saddens me that my black kinsmen get killed, injured, and arrested in Marib deserts. Some of them are even physically eliminated from behind, by the Houthi militants, if they want to surrender to the national army. It saddens me that they are forced to die in defense of a racist dynastical agenda that sees them as mere slaves.”

For a time, the most exciting night out you could have in San Francisco was at a human chicken coop.
To get there, you needed to drive to the edge of the city, where the Pacific Ocean lapped against the shore of a massive amusement park. Near the screaming roller coaster, below the Cliff House, a giant, neon rooster beckoned.
