MORE: Disgraced figures in sports | Cowboys’ history of enabling When Carolina released Hardy in 2015 after he was charged with domestic violence, most teams stayed away.

Resuming at a precarious 158 for five, Saurashtra’s lower order batsmen showed remarkable gumption and grit to take the first innings to 307, just five short of hosts’ first innings total. With the first innings lead virtually nullified, Vidarbha in their second innings lost skipper Faiz Fazal (10) and R Sanjay (16) to left-arm spinner Dharmendrasinh Jadeja (2/36) before ending the day at 55 for two....

In July, 16,988 flights were canceled, up 54 percent from July 2006, according to FlightStats.com. And yet for airline companies, these are the best of times. The industry was laid low by 9/11 and the 2001 recession, as giants like United, US Airways and Delta filed for Chapter 11....

The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery in Montreal, Quebec, is the largest cemetery in Canada, with a site of more than 340 acres.
