What might happen in the next three IPL games.

Loser of Thursday's IPL game is eliminated

After nearly 40 years of trying, I finally met my boyhood hero, and it was worth the wait. #RIPRay

Coming soon...............The Greatest NFL Team of the Sky Sports Era.

Pathum Nissanka became the first player to reach two fifties at better than a run-a-ball in the same Test in England - and just the ninth player ever.

Jayden Daniels has set a new NFL record by completing 82.1% of his passes in his first four games — not just the highest in league history to start a season but the highest in anyone's first four starts.

Joe Root's was the 100th score of 250+ in Test history (Brook's was the 101st) and the knock with the lowest percentage of runs in boundaries:

Kenneth Walker became the eighth player to have both a rushing and receiving Touchdown on his birthday.

For those who are not aware, Sarah Langs is a superb baseball writer and self-confessed baseball nerd, who finds stories through statistics and tells everyone "Baseball is the Best"

Happy 80th birthday to Gene Clark - no other.

Difficult to believe it is five years today since Bob left us. Here he is in typical pose, with another gone too soon.

You would expect a team who have scored 385 and conceded 288 points to win 10.7 games. In fact the Chiefs have won 15, so they have "over-achieved" their expectation by 4.3 wins. The next best is +2.4 wins by the Rams. However Andy Reid has never won Coach of the Year with KC.

Sam Darnold's 82 lost yards due to sacks set a playoff record, but on 26 Oct 1952 the Giants Charlie Conerly (44), Fred Benners (69) and Frank Gifford (14) lost 127 yards between them through sacks against the Eagles in a 10-14 defeat. The Giants punter that day was Tom Landry!

Here's hoping the Buffalo Bills reach the Super Bowl for the first time since the year this photo was taken. So long ago that Marlboro could still advertise on stadium billboards!

England yesterday picked as many wicket-keepers (Salt, Duckett, Smith, Buttler) as bowlers (Archer, Wood, Carse, Rashid). Another such occasion was when Chandimal, Sangakkara, Dilshan and Prasanna Jayawardene all faced England in the 2012 Galle Test.

RIP 'Goofy' Lawrence, who took wickets with each of his last two Test deliveries in 1962, and remained on a theoretical hat-trick (I know it wouldn't have counted as one - but still!) for 63 years.
