Private equity strikes deal with bowling alleys, pricing out a middle-class pastime

Private-equity–backed Lucky Strike Entertainment has bought a large slice of U.S. bowling alleys, using scale to boost profits and pushing up costs for bowlers—evidenced by a price spike (Jell-O shots rising from $1 to $2.75) and higher league expenses. With Lucky Strike controlling more than a tenth of U.S. centers, independent alleys struggle to compete, illustrating how Wall Street capitalism is reshaping a once-affordable middle-class pastime as part of NBC News’ Unaffordable America series.

Antitrust Lawsuit Accuses Lucky Strike of Bowling Monopoly

A Washington federal class-action accuses Lucky Strike Entertainment (formerly Bowlero) of building an illegal bowling monopoly through aggressive acquisitions, commanding about 35% of U.S. bowling revenue and 350+ centers, driving up prices and degrading quality; the suit seeks to unwind acquisitions and damages, while Lucky Strike says the claims are meritless and that it has expanded opportunities for the sport.

India Faces Criticism After Rain-Soaked Brisbane Test Decision

India Faces Criticism After Rain-Soaked Brisbane Test Decision

India's cricket team has opted to bowl first at the Gabba, a decision influenced by the overcast conditions and the pitch's green tinge, despite their historical preference to bat first in overseas Tests. This strategic choice aims to leverage their bowlers' strengths, particularly spinners like Ravindra Jadeja, while addressing concerns about their batting lineup's ability to handle pace and bounce. The team hopes to capitalize on the new ball's effectiveness before it loses its impact, as seen in their recent struggles to maximize early bowling opportunities.

"India's Ashwin Rewires Mentally, Chases Victory in England Series"

R Ashwin made a mental switch to adapt to the Ranchi pitch, focusing on side spin due to low bounce, and not using his trademark carrom ball much due to a knee issue. He took a five-wicket haul in England's second innings, helping India restrict the lead and leaving them 152 runs away from victory. Ashwin also praised Kuldeep Yadav's bowling and Dhruv Jurel's batting performance, emphasizing the importance of team contributions over personal milestones.

India's Defending Total Falls Short in World Cup Final Against Australia

In the World Cup final against Australia, Team India was bundled out for 240 runs as Australia's bowlers dominated. Despite fifties from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, India struggled to build partnerships on a difficult wicket. However, India's bowlers, including pacers Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammed Shami, along with spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, will be crucial in defending the total. The dew factor and the slow pitch could make it challenging for Australia's batsmen.
