Marlon James

Booker Prize winning Jamaican author Marlon James received some rave reviews on Twitter for his session at the Jaiput lit fest today with British author Patrick French. But earlier, in a post on Facebook, he ranted about the problems he encountered upon landing in Delhi.

Marlon James made literary history by becoming the first Jamaican author to win the prestigious 2015 Man Booker Prize for Fiction for his book 'A Brief History of Seven Killings'.

Hollywood legend Robert De Niro might have donned many memorable characters in movies like The Godfather Part II, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, but says his personal heroes are Nelson Mandela, Indira Gandhi and Mahatma Gandhi.

The 41-year-old Sri Lankan spin maestro was the Renegades' leading bowler last season in the Twenty20 competition, and will partner leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed, who is currently playing for Australia A.

Following their commanding displays at Trent Bridge, Tim Bresnan, the England all-rounder, and Marlon Samuels, the West Indies batsman, rose to career-best positions in the latest ICC rankings.

England won their seventh successive home series as they made stately work of their target of 108 to win the second Test at Trent Bridge by nine wickets with more than a day to spare.

It does not matter how patiently you scrap, or how successful your bowling plans prove to be. When you have arguably the weakest top three in Test cricket, one of them is back at the hotel with influenza anyway, and the bedrock of your batting hooks a ball down fine leg's throat you are not going to win many Test matches.

West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels had no problems being on the receiving end of verbal taunts from England spearhead James Anderson as his century helped turn the tide of the second Test.

For two sessions on the opening day of the second Test, West Indies batting was subjected to torrid bowling from England. The script changed significantly however when Marlon Samuels and Darren Sammy took charge to end the day with the visitors on a respectable 304/6.
