Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey was embroiled in another Lord’s controversy after South African batter David Bedingham evaded what would have been a bizarre dismissal on day two of the World Test Championship final.

Joe Rogan has blown a big hole in the Big Bang Theory during a discussion of the origins of the universe on his podcast. Many people have suggested the former self-described atheist is on a slow walk to becoming a Christian - and that view will only gain steam after Rogan’s comments in a conversation with content creator and author Cody Tucker.

At least that contest had participants willing to drum up a bit of interest in the whole affair too.
