Various ways have been suggested to counter him, ... such as batting out of the crease, standing on off stump, or even taking a chance by having a go at him.

This was everything you want in a soccer game - 100 minutes of pure excitement. Both teams played exceptionally well defensively and offensively.

We are trying to make things as pleasant as we can. We got a roof on so it doesn't leak anymore. We are ripping up and replacing damaged floor in the utility room.

We will come back and do the outside work during the week.

People do not realize how hard Williamson punches, ... He had a great game plan. He has great height and reach. I just cannot run out there and hit Williamson because he hits too hard.

The NAFTA panel decision issued today is gravely flawed, and signifies a potential end to an important antidote in the U.S. lumber industry's efforts to counter the poison that is Canadian lumber industry practices.
