Brave Men (Penguin Classics)

Product Information

Birmingham Phoenix and London Spirit play tomorrow, and we'll be live with you from 14:45 BST for the women's game. Pyle's Wikipedia article is worth a look, especially the introduction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Pyle They beat Oval Invincibles comfortably in their last group match to finish five points clear of them, only to fluff their lines against the same opponents on the big day. Match Hero Andre Russell speaking to Sky Sports: "This is my fifth game and I've been feeling confident with the bat, but the runs weren't coming. But I kept believing and today I did what I do best. I'm happy with the win, hopefully we keep the momentum going.

It's good to see your opposition and know what you're up against but I don't think tonight means too much when we're looking ahead.In the women's competition, Welsh Fire face Northern Superchargers on Saturday, followed by Manchester Originals vs Southern Brave in the men's competition. It means the Originals have the chance of going one better than their defeat in last year's final, while Brave miss out on the opportunity to add to the title they won in 2021. The Ageas Bowl's, including Hilton at The Ageas Bowl, broad range of stylish and luxurious suites, cutting edge audio-visual capabilities and bespoke catering provision, deem the venue the ideal location for a vast array of meetings and conferences. What’s more, The Ageas Bowl also hosts The Hundred Eliminator on Friday 2 nd September. The Eliminator will be another huge double-header with the teams finishing second and third in both the men’s and women’s group stages facing off for a spot in The Hundred Final.

That was so weird. James Vince looked properly confused, Maxwell grinned as if to say, "I'll take it".Faced with such a huge total, Originals were given impetus by Salt, who took fours off the first three balls of the innings. Just after he clubbed Craig Overton for two successive sixes - Overton conceded 47 runs from 15 balls - Salt drilled the spin of Mitchell Santner to Vince at extra cover to depart for 47 from 17 balls. Although Pyle, one of the first "embedded" journalists in wartime, could get a bit repetitive, his account of the American GIs in the European theater during WWII will rightly stand as one of the best portrayals of the common soldier in these epic times. Fast forward four years and the gifted youngster is a star for England U19s and is ready to work his spin wizardry in his debut season for Brave. He also, bless him, wants to ensure that every single soldier he meets gets described and recognized for the sake of their families and friends at home. As someone living three generations after the war, this drives me nuts. We get longer introductions to people we will never interact with in the book again than one would to the main character in most narrative fiction

Sadly, Ernie Pyle was killed by enemy fire near Okinawa in 1945. How wonderful that we have his writings, which document his contributions to the wartime efforts. Brave Men serves as an eyewitness account. If you are a history buff, this book needs to be on your list. Ernest Taylor Pyle was an American journalist who wrote as a roving correspondent for the Scripps Howard newspaper chain from 1935 until his death in combat during World War II. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1944. One could not help but be moved by the colossus of our invasion. It was a bold and might thing, one of the epics of all history. In the emergency of war our nation’s powers are unbelievable . . . . But we rise above our normal powers only in times of destruction."

Originals, who have now won their last two games after losing their first three, put in a fine bowling performance, with Paul Walter taking 3-20.
