Pre-professional youth ballet, Ballet Excel Ohio, shared a behind-the-scenes look at its show of Peter Pan just four days ago, gaining over 10 million views already. Like with many shows, the Peter Pan performance features a scene in which Wendy Darling and her siblings follow Peter Pan in flying from their London window to Neverland. Of course, the ballet dancers are unable to do that, but they are able to reciprocate the look for the audience, using a surprising technique....

Ronaldo has won five Ballon d’Ors in his glittering career but the 34-year-old is not one of the favourites to win the award in 2019. Considering pundits and critics, Blaugrana captain Lionel Messi and Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk are the overwhelming favourites after enjoying a stellar campaign with their respective clubs. This is an extremely unfamiliar situation for Ronaldo as the Juventus star has always been on the podium every year since 2007, except in 2010....

The millions aren’t just spent on him to acquire his enigmatic behaviour but to bring in a talent who can change the game on his own; just ask the German team of Euro 2012 and they will tell you all about it. English Premier League viewers must have enjoyed his stay in England but the same can’t be said about Scott Parker, who received a nasty stamp from Balotelli.

Bangladesh, however, are currently playing exceptional T20 cricket, having beaten Australia by a margin of 4-1 in the recently-concluded 5-match T20I series. New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and decided to bat first. The visitors struggled from the outset and were bundled out for just 60 runs in 16.5 overs. It was their joint-lowest score in T20Is. Rachin Ravindra was dismissed on the third ball of the innings for a golden duck by Mahedi Hasan....

Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat and got off to a brilliant start after excellent performances from their openers, Vusi Sibanda and Hamilton Masakadza. The opening duo put up a first-wicket partnership of 101 in just 12 overs. Sibanda was the first to depart after a 39-ball 46 runs after giving good support to the attacking H Masakadza. Having got off to such a great start, Zimbabwe would have hoped to post a big total in their 20 overs....

The opener was given a nine-month suspension from international and state cricket in March after admitting attempting to alter the condition of the ball during the Newlands Test against South Africa. Bancroft was due to be playing for Somerset, but the county cancelled his contract following the Cape Town fiasco - which also resulted in Steve Smith and David Warner being given one-year bans. The 25-year-old will get some time in the middle before his ban ends in December, though, after the Western Australian District Cricket Council voted 14-2 in favour of him playing for Premier Cricket for Willetton....

Celta Vigo defender Javi Galan is an option that the Catalans have been keeping an eye on throughout the transfer window. The defender, who is four years younger than the 31-year-old Alonso, could potentially provide Blaugrana with a longer-term successor to Jordi Alba for a much cheaper fee. Galan has an €18 million release clause at Celta and could likely be signed for less than that, while also bringing in valuable La Liga experience....

You can take more time to research and prepare for the moment a product you’re looking for drops in price, ensuring you’re getting the best deal that suits you. The downside is that it’s difficult to know when to buy and whether it’s worth waiting, and there’s a risk that if you wait too long the best deals will sell out....
