Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs , on trial for assaulting and coercively controlling an ex-girlfriend, told a UK court Wednesday that his record of one sending off in a 24-year career showed he was not prone to violence. Taking the stand at Manchester Crown Court for the second day running, the former United and Wales forward broke down in tears as he described spending a night in the cells as the "worst experience of my life". Giggs denies physically assaulting former partner, PR agent Kate Greville, and her sister nearly two years ago. He also denies controlling Greville during their rocky years-long relationship. Giggs claims that injuries sustained by Greville were an accidental result of a three-way tussle between her and her sister over a mobile phone. The former winger admitted he "may have caught her and her sister", but that his playing career showed he was not violent. He told the court it was "part and parcel" to be verbally abused and provoked on … [Read more...] about Manchester United Legend Ryan Giggs Cites Disciplinary Record In Assault Trial | Football News

South Africa pacers take Day 1 honours
SOUTH AFRICA TOUR OF ENGLAND, 2022 by Cricbuzz Staff • Last updated on Share Tweet Nortje was the pick of the bowlers on the opening day. © AFP The London weather didn't take kindly to England's batting collapse at Lord's, with persistent rain forcing an early end to proceedings on the first day. It was moments after Anrich Nortje shattered the stumps of Ben Foakes and reduced the hosts to 116/6. That England were in tatters going at that scoreline into Stumps was largely down to an action-packed morning session, which saw the hosts lose as many as five wickets. The most poignant of them was the dismissal of Ben Stokes, who charged out to Nortje off the second ball he faced but would later fall to fast bowler on the stroke of Lunch. It was a moment that summed up South Africa's discipline and England's approach rather well. In favourable bowling conditions, the best on offer all summer according to Cricviz, South Africa … [Read more...] about South Africa pacers take Day 1 honours

Summer scouting series: Adidas 3SSB’s best 2023 bigs
Our summer scouting series has reached its final stop, as we will be breaking down the top 2023 prospects in the Adidas 3SSB circuit for the rest of the week. I got a first-hand view of Adidas’ top prospects by attending Live II in April, the 3SSB Championship in July, and the subsequent Adidas All-American Camp. Considering what I saw in person, as well as supplemental video work, these were the big men that stood out as the best in the class of 2023. 1. Baye Fall , Colorado Hawks Fall is a physically gifted big man with size, length, athleticism, and mobility. He runs the floor extremely well, can slide his feet laterally, and is a bouncy leaper. His best potential lies on the defensive end of the floor, where he is already a high-level rim protector who can block shots on and off the ball. He also moves exceptionally well laterally for his size, allowing him rare versatility as a pick-and-roll defender, who can even be switchable in certain situations. Offensively, … [Read more...] about Summer scouting series: Adidas 3SSB’s best 2023 bigs
NBA schedule: LeBron vs. Curry on opening night, Ben Simmons’ Philly return among 10 early matchups to circle
Getty Images The 2022-23 NBA schedule was released on Wednesday (what portion of it wasn't previously leaked, anyway), and naturally, we're all running through it circling the matchups that stick out. Here are 10 to mark on your calendar through the first six weeks. 1. Lakers at Warriors (October 18) Opening night. LeBron James will watch Stephen Curry receive his fourth championship ring, matching his own total. The race to No. 5 is on, and Curry, in charge of another title-contenting roster, has the upper hand at getting it. If the Lakers have Kyrie Irving by this point, this becomes a headline matchup for reasons other than Curry vs. James; this will be two championship contenders squaring off with all the intrigue of a revamped Lakers roster and the Kyrie-LeBron reunion. 2. Pelicans at Nets (October 19) The opener for both teams, and it's a must-watch for a handful of reasons. Presumably, it will mark Zion Williamson's return to the court. Same for Ben … [Read more...] about NBA schedule: LeBron vs. Curry on opening night, Ben Simmons’ Philly return among 10 early matchups to circle
Carreno Busta, Gasquet through to Winston-Salem QFs
Carreno Busta – the 2016 champion – was too good for Dominik Koepfer 6-2 6-3 at the ATP 250 tournament on Wednesday. The Spaniard, who stunned world number one Novak Djokovic to win bronze at the Olympic Games, will meet Ilya Ivashka, who upstaged ninth seed Jan-Lennard Struff 6-2 6-1. "It was a very good match. I think I played very aggressively today, I made a lot of winners," Carreno Busta said. "I played against him the last two tournaments so it was important to me at the beginning of the match to be very focused and play very aggressive so I think this was a very good match for me. Oh that’s nice. Very, very nice @richardgasquet1 with a drop shot from heaven… @WSOpen pic.twitter.com/u4pazZZ9ZO — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) August 25, 2021 "I'm feeling really comfortable playing this year, also.

“Talks That ODI Cricket Is Losing Its Appeal Are Nonsense”: Rohit Sharma | Cricket News
India skipper Rohit Sharma on Wednesday dispelled the perception that ODI cricket is in danger of losing its appeal, saying all formats of the game are important to him. With the mushrooming of T20 leagues leading to a packed calendar and forcing top players such as Ben Stokes and Trent Bolt to take some hard calls, doubts were recently raised over the future of the 50-over cricket. "Mera naam hi one-day cricket se bana hai. Sab bekar ki baatein hai (I made my name from one-day cricket. These talks are nonsense). People were earlier talking about Test cricket (being in danger)," Rohit told reports on the sidelines of a promotional event here. "For me, cricket is important, be at any format. I'd never say that ODI is getting finished or T20 is getting finished or Tests are nearing an end. "I wish there was another format as well, because for me, playing the game is most important. It's an individual choice as to which format to play or not, but for me, all three formats are … [Read more...] about “Talks That ODI Cricket Is Losing Its Appeal Are Nonsense”: Rohit Sharma | Cricket News
