Pietersen sets example for Bell and Morgan to follow
00 0
England’s recent troubles in the United Arab Emirates against Pakistan add extra spice to their up-coming tour of Sri Lanka, ironically with the out-of-form Kevin Pietersen showing his team-mates the way forward. Even those studying the best Australian casinos note how head coach Andy Flower cut a concerned figure as he watched his highly rated batting line up fail in three consecutive tests against a Pakistan; England’s status as the world’s best test side, earned the hard...

Cairns – It’s time for Ponting to retire
00 130
Former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns has claimed that Ricky Ponting’s time as an international cricketer is up, something many who play real money games agree with. The Australian batsman has recently vowed to keep fighting for his place despite being 36-years-old and on a poor run of form with the bat. Cairns believes that in order for Australia to move into a new era positively, they need to call time on Ponting’s test career, allowing a new group of younger batsman to take the...
Nadal stunned by majestic Federer

After only winning three games during a straight sets defeat to Roger Federer at the ATP World Tour Finals this week, Rafael Nadal has admitted that the Swiss star was too good for him on the day. Federer took only an hour to win the match 6-3, 6-0 as he gave an indoor master class to a capacity crowd at the O2 Arena. It was only the third time he had beaten Nadal in the last 12 meetings and the Spaniard was in a reflective mood afterwards. Following the defeat, Nadal said: “It's not the...

31 424

He was a man who flew the flag for many years, proving to be one of the most popular sportsmen of the country during his time as British No.1. We have become more accustomed to Tiger Tim commentating on the sport since his retirement from playing in 2007. His views on tennis and in particular tennis in the UK are widely respected and he has formed a decent second career sitting alongside Sue Barker in the BBC...

Those placing free bets note that he has even defeated Rafael Nadal twice on clay and is now a serious challenger to...
Murray Right to Dismiss Lloyd Criticism
00 246
Andy Murray has strongly rejected criticism from former British Davis Cup captain David Lloyd about his appearance on the tennis court. Lloyd recently said that Murray should adopt a more ‘clean shaven’ look if he is to secure Grand Slam glory in the near future. The British No.1 lost out in the Wimbledon semi-final to Rafael Nadal earlier this month. Speaking about Lloyd’s comments, he said: “I don't think it makes any difference, guys like Borg didn't shave for weeks and months until...

As for Nadal’s sixth title at Roland Garros, he was worked very hard by Federer, but had too much in the...
