(New) Dybowsky Allegations 20/12/24

This time, in a single DTF post created by his wife. I don't want to smother happy P3 news, but this should be shared to the English community as well, and it casts doubts on his involvement with P3 and possibly the later stages of P2.

The DTF post is in Russian, but here's a summary:

(allegedly) Dybowsky is a bad-off alcoholic and has been since 2020 at the very least. In April of this year, while drunk, he hit his wife Renata, so she left to Crimea with their son. Since then, he's been visiting and they've been getting along. But things broke down in divorce proceedings when he couldn't get them to move back to Moscow on his specific terms. So just recently, he tried to take his son with the help of another woman but didn't get far because Renata and her father stopped him. There was a bad fight, enough to hospitalize the father for a week and for papers to be handed over to police.

A few students/people who studied with Dybowsky/worked with him are corroborating in the comments that he is, bare minimum, deeply afflicted by addiction.

The good news is that, aside from Dybowsky being a potential danger to himself and others, Renata has her son and appears to have the support of her family and friends in Crimea. She's not dependent on Dybowsky in any way.

An aside: I'm just posting the news. Obviously, more information may come to light and this is "only" from one poster on a gaming website, however, it comes with a lot of receipts. There were whisperings about this days before the post and since this is a very personal situation, many people have been affected and have experiences with both Dybowsky and Renata. I would say, don't start brawling in IPL's comment section, but do spread the information. It's possible that Dybowsky has cruised through the past five years drunk and isn't as involved in the company as we think, or some sort of opposite is also possible. I've pasted the link below.

BCCI’s Lollipop to the IOC - Turning Cricket into a Global Sport

Cricket, a sport with a staggering fan base of 2.5 billion people worldwide (According to Sport Pledge) is making significant strides towards Olympic inclusion. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has been actively pushing for cricket's inclusion in the Olympic Games, with the ambition to debut at the LA28 Games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), led by Jay Shah, has played a pivotal role in this endeavor. The Sportwiz explores the journey of cricket towards becoming a global sport, driven by the aspirations of the ICC and the strategic efforts of the BCCI.

Cricket has been making notable appearances in various multi-sport events, such as the Birmingham Commonwealth Games in 2022 and the Asian Games in 2010, 2014, and the upcoming 2023 edition in Hangzhou, Even this years African Games hosted in Ghana will consist of cricket where it will be played in the T20 format. These inclusions highlight the growing recognition and acceptance of cricket as a global sport.

The question arises: Does the Olympics need cricket, or does cricket need the Olympics? Cricket's immense popularity, with a fan base of 2.5 billion people and its status as the second most-watched sport globally, demonstrates the sport's strength and appeal. However, Olympic inclusion would provide an unparalleled platform for cricket to reach new audiences and further boost its global recognition.

The ICC's bid for Olympic inclusion emphasized the massive viewership cricket attracts. The 2022 T20 World Cup garnered a staggering 1.2 billion unique viewers globally. Additionally, the 2020 Women's World Cup saw 89 million viewers tuning in, showcasing the increasing popularity of women's cricket. These statistics exemplify cricket's potential as a major draw for broadcasters, sponsors, and fans alike.

India's significance as a cricket powerhouse cannot be overlooked. The country accounts for a substantial portion of cricket's global viewership, with 76% of the 113.5 million viewing hours recorded during major tournaments coming from India. The BCCI, backed by India's massive cricket market, has offered the International Olympic Committee (IOC) a chance to tap into this unique viewership, potentially elevating the Olympic Games' viewership in the Indian subcontinent.

The BCCI's main revenue stream, broadcasting rights, presents a compelling proposition for the IOC. Currently held by JIO and Viacom 18 for $31 million, these rights contribute to the ongoing profits of the Olympics. If cricket is included in the Olympics, the ICC estimates potential revenue of $130-260 million. These figures highlight the financial gains that could be achieved through cricket's Olympic participation.

The number $31 million USD is larger than the previous years in terms of Olympics in India but if we compare it to a similar number showcasing the money that’s involved in cricket, in the next financial cycle of the BCCI the Pakistan Cricket board ( PCB ) who hold a share of 5.75% is approximately valued at $34.5 million USD.

Cricket's economic value has witnessed a remarkable surge, as evidenced by the 300% increase in media rights value for ICC and IPL. The media rights for ICC and IPL soared from ₹16,347 crores to a staggering ₹48,390 crores. This exponential growth further solidifies cricket's position as a lucrative sporting asset.

With the Indian Premier League (IPL) now ranked as the second most valued sporting league globally, cricket's future looks promising. The IPL's substantial viewership of 380 million domestic TV viewers in the 2021 season and cumulative viewership of 383 billion minutes for the 2020 campaign across TV and digital platforms indicate cricket's enormous potential according to Jay Shah. As cricket continues to captivate audiences, its inclusion in the Olympics could propel the sport to new heights.

The bid to include cricket in the Olympics is anticipated to be decided in the final session of the IOC, scheduled to take place in Mumbai in October. Brisbane 2032 Olympics presents a realistic opportunity for cricket's inclusion, given Australia's cricketing heritage. Surprisingly, Los Angeles may also be a potential host, thanks to the approval of the bid by former Mayor Eric Garcetti, now the US Ambassador to India, fostering stronger relations between India and the USA.

Cricket's journey towards becoming a global sport is gaining momentum, with the ICC and BCCI leading the way. The sport's immense viewership, economic value, and potential for growth make it an attractive addition to the Olympic Games. As the IOC contemplates cricket's inclusion, the world awaits a decision that could redefine the sport and pave the way for a future where cricket becomes truly global.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

Since 2020 we have been working with SeaForester to restore kelp forests in Portugal. These underwater forests are astonishing havens for marine life which also improve water quality and sequester carbon. Unfortunately, large areas of kelp have disappeared from the coast of Portugal but reverting this trend has been difficult. One of the challenges is that restoration efforts tend to require extensive diving which quickly becomes costly and time-consuming. A new technique called “green gravel” has been developed to address this challenge and make large scale marine reforestation possible. It involves growing kelp attached to pebbles in a lab before deploying them at suitable locations in the ocean. For this project, we are building a kelp nursery that will allow us to test this method on a larger scale.

[ad_1] Mumbai Indians will have 23-player squad for the next season. (PC: X.com) The Mumbai Indians (MI) had done most of their heavy lifting before the auction, using up Rs 75 crore of their total purse on retaining five players. Rohit Sharma, former captain, Hardik Pandya, the current leader, Suryakumar Yadav – India’s T20 captain – Jasprit Bumrah and Tilak Varma all stayed, meaning that the auction focus was very much on the foreign contingent and finding bowlers to supplement Bumrah’s sublime skills. “We had four of our top 7 in place already, just needed to fill a couple of slots with the right complimentary players,” said Akash Ambani, the team owner, after the two days in Jeddah. “We focused a lot in this auction on getting our bowling combination right and I think we have achieved that at the end of two days of auction.” HITS  Though he’s 35, bringing back Trent Boult could be an inspired move. Back in 2020, he enjoyed his best IPL season in MI colours, taking 25 wickets from 15 games at an economy rate under 8. With Deepak Chahar, once MS Dhoni’s go-to new-ball bowler, also drafted in, MI potentially have a new-ball attack that could hoop it around corners in most conditions, leaving Bumrah to do his damage in the second half of the innings. Chahar has played just 18 games in the last three years though, and keeping him fit will be of paramount importance. MI have also taken a punt on Afghanistan’s Allah Ghazanfar, who could be the next mystery spinner to keep an eye on. MISSES  There was a time when Lasith Malinga and Kieron Pollard were cornerstones of MI’s title-winning sides. The present overseas contingent lacks that quality. Ghazanfar, South Africa’s Ryan Rickelton and New Zealand’s Bevan-John Jacobs have not played in the IPL before, while Will Jacks, Reece Topley and Lizaad Williams have barely made a dent in the competition. Boult has vast experience, and so does Mitchell Santner, but the rest have plenty to prove. They may not need to go spin-heavy at the Wankhede, but at other venues, the slow-bowling back-up for Santner and Ghazanfar doesn’t inspire much confidence either.   Overall Rating: 7/10 Mumbai were always going to be hamstrung at the auction on account of having spent nearly two-thirds of their budget to retain their stars. But they’ve still managed to bring in a new-ball pairing who could be lethal on their home turf, and a young spinner who could potentially make the sort of impact that Rashid Khan did nearly a decade ago. Jacobs is only 22, but his big-hitting prowess has already caught the eye in New Zealand, while Jacks struck at over 175 in the eight games he played for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.  Pandya will surely have a more impactful season this time, with the captaincy furore having died down, and Bumrah appears to be better than ever. If Rohit can play as freely as he did in the two white-ball World Cups, MI certainly have the weapons to make a play-off push. To go further and claim that elusive sixth title, however, will need some serious contributions from that untested foreign pack.  Squad Batters: Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Bevan-John Jacobs. All-rounders: Hardik Pandya, Naman Dhir, Will Jacks, Raj Angad Bawa, Karn Sharma, Mitchell Santner, Vignesh Puthur. Pace bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Lizaad Williams, Reece Topley, Ashwani Kumar, Satyanarayana Raju, Arjun Tendulkar. Wicketkeepers: Robin Minz, Ryan Rickelton, Shrijith Krishnan. Spinners: Allah Ghazanfar.

Outdoor Power Equipment Market 2030 Trends, Growth, Revenue, Outlook and Future Estimation

The global outdoor power equipment market was valued at USD 46.53 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow significantly, reaching USD 76.61 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. This growth can largely be attributed to the increasing demand for cordless outdoor power equipment, as more consumers are seeking flexibility, convenience, and portability in their tools. Cordless tools eliminate the need for constant recharging through outlets, making them ideal for outdoor activities, particularly in larger spaces like gardens and lawns.

Furthermore, the growing popularity of home improvement projects and a surge in gardening activities bode well for the market during the forecast period. The global trend toward enhancing homes, especially during the pandemic, has led to increased spending on outdoor tools, boosting the demand for both outdoor power equipment and garden tools. Companies like The Toro Company, Husqvarna, ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG, and others experienced significant profits from this trend as people spent more time at home, contributing to extended gardening seasons.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 initially had a negative impact on many industries worldwide, including the outdoor power equipment market. The early months of the pandemic saw disruptions in production, supply chains, and consumer purchasing behavior.

Choosing the best experts and supporting them - D. Managing the financial aspects of BCCI Answer: C. Choosing the best experts and supporting them [ad_2] What would you consider some of your achievements at BCCI? As BCCI secretary, one of my main achievements was strengthening the National Cricket Academy by investing over Rs 250 crore. Holding the 2020 IPL in UAE during the pandemic was also a significant achievement. We demonstrated what BCCI could achieve by creating an isolation bubble for the tournament. Additionally, changing the IPL broadcasting bidding process and increasing revenue through ICC were key accomplishments. To me, one of your greatest achievements is your encouragement to women's cricket. When I initiated the Women's Premier League (WPL), it was met with some resistance. By highlighting that 51% of IPL viewership was female, we were able to draw attention to the importance of women's cricket. Pay parity was also introduced to encourage female participation. These efforts have had a positive impact on women's cricket, as evidenced by the ICC's decision to announce pay parity in prize money for the Women's World Cup. What's next for Indian cricket? Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the Indian men's cricket team's performance in the upcoming T20 World Cup. With a good balance between form and experience, I believe the squad has the potential to win the tournament. How do you see the current form of the T20 team? The current T20 team is well-balanced in terms of both form and experience. While IPL performance is important, overseas experience is also a critical factor in the selection process according to the selectors.

Which teams, according to you, will be strong contenders at the T20 World Cup? India, Australia, New Zealand, and West Indies are considered strong contenders for the T20 World Cup due to their prowess in the T20 format. It is the second time that India is ranked No. 1 in all three formats (Tests, ODI, and T20I). What is your role in this achievement? As BCCI secretary, my role is to choose the best experts and support them in their cricketing decisions. By appointing individuals like VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid to key positions, I am able to ensure that the team is guided by knowledgeable individuals who can drive success. How do you divide responsibilities between Roger Binny (BCCI president) and yourself? While Roger Binny oversees cricketing decisions, I focus on administration and finance matters within BCCI. Collaboration is key, and we work together transparently to ensure all aspects of the organization run smoothly. How does BCCI spot talent? It has done some great work in bringing to the fore talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal. BCCI empowers state associations to identify and nurture talent through guidelines and infrastructure support. Talents like Yashaswi Jaiswal and Rinku Singh were identified as potential prospects and trained at the National Cricket Academy. With a pool of 50 players, BCCI ensures readiness for bilateral cricket with various countries. I am sure you have heard the criticism of the impact player rule in the IPL this year. The impact player rule in the IPL is viewed as a test case, with consultations ongoing with players, franchisees, and stakeholders. The rule aims to make matches more interesting and provide more opportunities for Indian players. Feedback from consultations will guide any necessary changes to the rule. How about the batting-friendly pitches in IPL? Even Sunil Gavaskar commented they are too one-sided. In response to concerns about batting-friendly pitches in the IPL, it is noted that pitches are managed transparently by BCCI's central curator. While some matches may showcase high-scoring games, the overall quality of pitches is maintained to ensure fair competition. Is there any other innovation you have introduced for the IPL? New innovations in the IPL, such as the 'smart' replay feature for umpiring decisions and the introduction of fast bowling insurance clauses in player contracts, have improved the efficiency and player welfare in the tournament. Mega auctions, transparent bidding processes, and revenue distribution strategies have also been introduced to enhance the league experience. What do you do with all the money BCCI gets? The majority of BCCI's revenues are invested in state associations to improve infrastructure, grassroots programs, and player development across the country. Media rights, sponsorships, and franchise fees contribute to the revenue stream, with a significant portion allocated to player payments, infrastructure development, and grassroots cricket initiatives. Do you enjoy other sports too? Tennis and football are also sports of interest to me. Rafa Nadal is my favorite tennis player, particularly on clay courts. Who are your three favorite cricket icons of all time? Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and MS Dhoni are among my favorite cricket icons of all time. From the current players, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya also earn my admiration. Which is your favorite IPL team? As BCCI secretary, maintaining neutrality is essential. I appreciate all IPL teams for their unique styles and contributions to the league's success. Your favorite cricket stadium? The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad holds a special place as my favorite cricket stadium. Its size and facilities, along with the short construction timeline, make it an impressive venue. What is your management mantra? My management mantra revolves around placing the right individuals in cricketing roles and ensuring financial transparency. Inspired by Swami Vivekananda's

The IPL: Where Cricket Meets Big Business

The Indian Premier League (IPL), a professional Twenty20 cricket league in India, has become one of the most popular sporting events in the world. With its razzmatazz, glamour, and big business, the IPL has been able to create a loyal fan following across the globe. After being postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the IPL is back in 2023 with a bang, with rivalries and more business opportunities than ever before.

The IPL was first introduced in 2008 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Since then, it has grown by leaps and bounds to become one of the biggest events in the cricketing world. In its first season, the league consisted of eight teams representing different cities in India, each owned by a franchise. Over the years, the league has expanded to include ten teams, with two new teams, Ahmedabad and Lucknow, joining in 2022.

The IPL has been successful not just because of its cricketing excellence but also due to its unique business model. The league is based on the franchise system, where each team is owned by a private company or individual. The franchisees invest heavily in their teams, buying players, and creating an atmosphere of glitz and glamour around the league. The league has become a massive money-spinner, with teams earning millions of dollars in sponsorship and advertising revenue.

The IPL is not just about cricket. It is also a platform for big business. With a huge fan following across the world, the IPL provides companies with an opportunity to advertise their products to a vast audience. From team sponsorships to television advertising, the IPL offers a range of opportunities for businesses to promote their brands. According to a report by Duff & Phelps, a global valuation and corporate finance advisor, the Indian Premier League (IPL), has recorded a 77% increase in system value to US$8.4 billion. With media rights sold for over INR 48,000 Crores (US$6.5 billion), the central pool of IPL revenues has increased more than 2.5 times for the 2023 to 2027 cycle.

The rivalry between teams in the IPL is another factor that makes the league so exciting. Each team represents a different city in India, and the players are selected from across the globe. This creates a unique mix of talent, culture, and identity that fans can relate to. The players are not just playing for their teams; they are representing the cities they come from. The rivalry between teams is not just about winning matches; it is also about representing their cities with pride.

The IPL has also created a platform for young cricketers to showcase their talent. The league has given many young players a chance to play alongside some of the biggest names in cricket. This has not only helped them develop their skills but also given them exposure to a global audience. Many young players who have performed well in the IPL have gone on to represent their national teams at the highest level.

In conclusion, the Indian Premier League is a unique sporting event that has captured the imagination of cricket fans across the globe. With its razzmatazz, glamour, and big business, the IPL has become a massive money-spinner for franchise owners and businesses alike. The league has created a platform for young cricketers to showcase their talent and given fans a chance to support their cities with pride. With the league back in action in 2021, cricket fans can look forward to another season of exciting cricket and fierce rivalries.

[ad_1] Sanju Samson with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Riyan Parag in an event (PC: X) Rajasthan Royals went into the auction with a limited purse of Rs 41 crore. On expected lines, RR were cautious during the mega auction in terms of picking up players. They added 14 players to their roster. Jofra Archer, who has previously been one of the mainstays of RR’s attack, is back in the mix. The franchise has also added some punch to their spin-bowling stocks.  RR also stumped everyone by picking up the 13-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi for Rs 1.10 crore. The young batter had recently cracked a quick-fire ton versus Australia U-19. Incidentally, they had retained six players before the auction – Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer and Sandeep Sharma. Hits:  Nitish Rana – The southpaw, who has over 2600 runs in the IPL, could form an integral part of RR’s unit. The middle-order batter, however, hasn’t exactly been among the runs over the last few seasons. RR would still trust Nitish to provide heft to their batting line-up, comprising mainly Indian batters. Jofra Archer – The England speedster was in supreme form in the 2020 IPL, bagging 20 wickets. Unfortunately, since then, he has been plagued by elbow and back issues. At his very best, Archer has a mean bumper, alongside possessing the skills to move the ball and bowl yorkers and variations in the slog. Wanindu Hasaranga/Maheesh Theekshana – With RR picking the Sri Lankan duo, they have some firepower in the spin department. Both the spinners have enough variations in their arsenal and generally bowl quicker through the air. The kind of skills that could come in handy at their home ground. Tushar Deshpande/Fazalhaq Farooqi – RR have further strengthened their pace-bowling stocks by buying Deshpande and Farooqi. Deshpande is a wholehearted cricketer and Farooqi is basically RR’s replacement for Trent Boult. The skiddy left-arm pacer swings the bowl upfront. RR also bought the young South African paceman, Kwena Maphaka.  Misses:  RR perhaps needed one more established power-hitter down the order. It is true that Shimron Hetmyer can give it a mighty thump and has done rather well for the franchise. He also cracked a blistering 91 against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots recently in the CPL. But, somewhere, RR could have bought another finisher. Glenn Phillips was an option. Liam Livingstone also was in the auction list, but with their purse, it was always going to be tough for RR to bid for him. In that respect, RR could be looking towards Shubham Dubey, the left-hander, to showcase his pyrotechnics.  Overall Rating – 7/10 RR IPL Squad: Tushar Deshpande, Shubham Dubey, Yudhvir Singh, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Kwena Maphaka, Kunal Rathore, Ashok Sharma, Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Sandeep Sharma, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana, Wanindu Hasaranga, Akash Madhwal, Kumar Kartikeya, Nitish Rana   The post Some mystery spin and Jofra Archer – RR’s top picks at mega auction appeared first on Sports News Portal | Latest Sports Articles | Revsports.
