India's Kohli dismisses ball-tampering claims over mint footage
- November 26, 2016
This final match in Kanpur had been drawn but in Madras, they had secured the win to lead 2-1, a match memorable for the brilliance of Graeme Fowler, who scored 201, and Mike Gatting, who scored 207. Former England captain Michael Vaughan, who is commentating on the match for BBC Test Match Special, also spoke about the dryness of the wicket, which is in stark contrast to what he thought was the nature of the surface in Mohali .

Injured Carolina LB Luke Kuechly gives thumbs up in photo
- November 26, 2016
Kuechly actually scored on the return, but the Panthers were flagged for a block in the back. For the second straight week a blocked kick was the critical moment in the game that ultimately doomed the Saints. The play sealed the score - a 23-20 victory for the Panthers - but really, it did even more. The Saints comeback bid went out the door when the Panthers completed a 18-yard pass to Kelvin Benjamin on a third-and-10 play with 2:26 remaining. (more...)

Patriots' Brady, Redskins' Cousins among players of week
- November 26, 2016
It's unclear when Brady injured his knee or if the ailment is related to the hit that he took from Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor two weeks ago. New England has struggled against the number in the last few matchups against NY, but I think this is where it all changes. So far in 2016, he's totaled 1,983 passing yards, 168 completions, eight touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. (more...)

Rosberg and Hamilton select same tyres for Abu Dhabi GP
- November 26, 2016
Rosberg, who has won the last two races in Brazil, has more avenues to take his first drivers' title and match the one his father Keke Rosberg won 34 years ago. I don't really understand why the second stop came but rain is the trickiest of conditions. Assuming the Englishman wins the final round in Abu Dhabi, Rosberg would only need a third-placed finish if he is to retain his top spot on the standings. (more...)
