(Reuters) - World Cup winner Roberto Carlos scored on his Sunday League debut for English pub team The Bull In The Barne on Friday, in front of a slightly smaller crowd than he was accustomed to during his days playing for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Roberto Carlos made an unlikely return to action on Friday, swapping the Maracana for a windswept, muddy English pitch as he turned out for a pub team. The 48-year-old retired full-back appeared for Bull in the Barne United in the village of Hanwood, near Shrewsbury in western England, after the team won a charity "Dream Transfer" raffle on eBay in January. The former Real Madrid star came on as a substitute in the first half and showed some nice touches from midfield before going off again for a breather.
The news of Shane Warne’s death from a suspected heart attack aged 52 shocked the cricketing world on Friday. Warne, one of the game’s most-loved figures, was found unresponsive in his villa on the Thai island of Koh Samui just hours after posting a touching tribute to his hero Rod Marsh, who also died on Friday aged 74.
Pant is an anomaly in Indian cricket. He changes the course of a game faster than the opinions about him. Friday was just another day of now-usual Pant-mania as he walked in at 170/3 40 minutes before tea, took on a rather erratic but effective Sri Lankan attack and left the field half an hour before stumps after ravaging the tourists with a 97-ball 96 on the opening day of the two-Test series. As it happened | ScorecardThe 172 minutes of exhilarating batting, which was ended by Suranga Lakmal breaching his defence with the second new ball, had put India in a position of dominance with 357/6 on the board at stumps. The carnage inflicted by Pant aside, Lankan captain Dimuth Karunaratne may be ruing playing three seamers and one specialist spinner. He has laid the foundation for Ravindra Jadeja (batting on 45) and Ashwin (unbeaten on 10) to bat Sri Lanka out of the game on Saturday morning.
Rishabh Pant owned the centre-stage in Virat Kohli's landmark 100th Test, hammering Sri Lankan bowlers into submission with an enthralling 96 as the hosts reached a commanding 357 for 6 on the opening day of the first Test here. The 5000 odd spectators, who had come to watch Kohli perform on a grand stage, saw one of the most flamboyant batters in recent history make a mockery of an average Sri Lankan attack. He was especially brutal when it came to going after left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya (28-2-107-2), who was taken for 22 in one over.
The Waratahs will need to defy recent history if they're to knock off the Brumbies in round three of the Super Rugby Pacific at GIO Stadium on Saturday night.
Rod Marsh defied the doubters to define a golden generation of Australian cricket.
Chirag Jani hit a superb 140 while Sheldon Jackson smashed an unbeaten 96 as Saurashtra reached 343 for 7 at stumps on day one of their Ranji Trophy group D match against Goa here on Thursday. Chirag slammed 22 fours and two sixes in his 190-ball knock, while Jackson struck six fours and five maximums during his 119-ball unfinished innings after Saurashtra decided to bat first at the Narendra Modi stadium here. Saurashtra lost opener Snell Patel for a duck but Chirag and Harvik Desai (14) steadied the innings with a 75-run stand.
