John Terry seems like a very nice chap. We weren't surprised to see him gladly sign an autograph for his dedicated fans... but do they trick him into apologising to Wayne Bridge?


If you're not glued to the TV watching what will no doubt be one fascinating Bangladesh-England series, there's a far less exciting competition known as the IPL also starting today. Here's a reminder of just...

Something has happened to cricket over the past few years that has threatened team unity and stolen headlines away from the most important aspects of the game - as it heads further and further down the road of copying football's example.

I'm gonna guess most of you have seen the 2006 Pixar movie Cars. For those who haven't, I'll explain the plot (don't spoiler me, you've had three years to see it).

And, Gavaskar has gone a step ahead in saying he is on his way to become an all-time great in ODIs (on one of the reputed national news channels in India).
