Two teams that have shown the promise but failed to deliver on big occasions come face to face when Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore clash in their opening match of the Indian Premier League here on Thursday.

The Mumbai Indians are the big-spending side and have the Champions League Twenty20 Trophy to show for all the money shelled out on acquiring star players. Besides, Mumbai have also been runners-up once and semifinalists twice in the previous IPL seasons.

With Ricky Ponting as captain this time, Mumbai would be hoping to lay their hands on the IPL trophy for the first time.

In the batting department, Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma would be looking to continue from where he left in the previous IPL where they amassed 333 and 433 runs respectively.

Senior batsman Sachin Tendulkar would open with either Dwayne Smith or James Franklin, both of whom can contribute to the team with their bowling as well.


Also Ponting, who has had a good outing in Australia`s Big Bash and Shield Cricket tournaments since retiring from Test cricket, would be an asset at number three.

Dinesh Karthik would give solidity to the middle-order.

Boasting of three prolific wicket-takers in the IPL so far -- Sri Lankan Lasith Malinga, Pragyan Ojha and Munaf Patel -- Mumbai Indians look a well-balanced side.

However, spinners were a tad disappointing for them in IPL-5 with Harbhajan Singh hardly making any impact. He scalped six wickets in 17 matches, while Ojha claimed nine wickets in as many matches.

Mumbai, in fact, are rocked by a problem of plenty as only four international cricketers are allowed to play in a match. There is lot to choose from the international basket given the presence of "million -dollar buy" Glen Maxwell, Dwayne Smith, Kieron Pollard, Jacob Oram, James Franklin and Malinga.

RCB, on the other hand, will take the field with the young and feisty Virat Kohli leading the team.

Known for being diffident in the initial stages of the IPL, RCB have, in their arsenal, swashbuckling characters like Chris Gayle, Tillakaratne Dilshan and A B de Villiers, who can turn the game on its head in a jiffy.

Kohli is not too far behind having been RCB`s leading run-getter (1639), but their over-dependence on Gayle has been a nightmare for the team.

The West Indian, with 1341 runs, has won countless games single-handedly, but still has to come up good in big matches.

RCB`s main worry is their bowling with Zaheer Khan making a comeback from a calf injury which he sustained in a Ranji Trophy match against Gujarat last year.

Abhimanyu Mithun and R Vinay will be waiting to give better performance.

Yu Darvish saw the ball skip between his shins, dashing his chance at perfection. Immediately, several Texas Rangers came to the mound to console him.

"I think my teammates were more disappointed than I was," he said through a translator.

Darvish was one out from a perfect game when Marwin Gonzalez grounded a clean single through the pitcher's legs, and Texas beat the Houston Astros 7-0 on Tuesday night.



The celebrated right-hander from Japan struck out a career-high 14 and was in complete control before Gonzalez smacked the first pitch up the middle. Darvish was unable to get his glove down in time, and the ball skittered into center field well beyond a desperate dive by shortstop Elvis Andrus.

At that moment, one thought went through Darvish's mind.

"I can now go back to the dugout," he deadpanned. "Even if I got the complete game today, it's not going to translate to three or five wins. It's a win. A win's a win."

After the hit, Darvish smiled and put up his hands -- almost like, "Oh well, it happens." Texas' infielders quickly went to the mound, and manager Ron Washington joined them.

"I didn't want to be the last out," Gonzalez said. "I was trying to look for a good pitch to hit and put it in play. That's all I was thinking."

Washington patted Darvish on the chest and then signaled for a reliever. A crowd of 22,673 that included plenty of Rangers fans cheered Darvish as he walked off after 111 pitches. He stopped and tipped his cap before getting high-fives from teammates in the dugout.

He sat on the bench to watch the rest of the game, then joined the handshake line after the final out.

And if Darvish was upset about coming oh-so-close, he didn't show it.

"I went that far," he said. "I'm really satisfied."

Working from the stretch throughout -- even though he never needed to -- Darvish became the first pitcher to lose a perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning since Armando Galarraga on June 2, 2010. Of course, the Detroit pitcher was denied only because of an infamous missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce, who later admitted he blew the play.



Yu Darvish came within one out of making history, losing his bid for a perfect game against the Astros with two outs in the 9th inning.

On the second full day of the major league season, Darvish nearly picked up right where baseball left off last year, when there were a record three perfect games, thrown by Philip Humber, Matt Cain and Felix Hernandez.

Darvish's 14 strikeouts matched a Minute Maid Park record, and were the most by a Rangers pitcher since Hall of Famer and current team CEO Nolan Ryan had 14 in July 1991 against the Angels.

Darvish arrived in the majors last year with much fanfare, having already been a five-time all-star and two-time MVP in Japan. The Rangers paid more than $107 million to get him for five seasons.

The 6-foot-5 righty quickly settled in with Texas, becoming an All-Star last year on the way to going 16-9 with 221 strikeouts. He also once flirted with perfection, retiring the first 17 batters at Kansas City on Sept. 3.

"I think I got lucky today. I felt I pitched better against the Royals last year," Darvish said. "I had better command in that outing."

If he had been able to finish the job Tuesday, it would have been the earliest perfecto in history.

Darvish didn't really need a dazzling play from his defense as he shut down the Astros and chased the 24th perfect game in big league history -- including the one Don Larsen tossed in the 1956 World Series, and two in 1880.

It was almost the second time in 10 months the overmatched Astros failed to put a runner on base. Cain's perfect game for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants came against Houston on June 13 last year.

Many expect the Astros to be the worst team in the majors this year, after two straight 100-loss seasons and a major league-low payroll of less than $22 million. But they cruised to an 8-2 win over Texas in the major league opener and their American League debut Sunday night.

Darvish, 26, carried over a strong showing in spring training this year into near perfection in his first regular-season start. The Astros looked totally lost against him, often taking wild swings at breaking balls that bounced.



With the crowd on its feet and a mixture of cheers and "Yuuus" filling Minute Maid Park, Chris Carter took Darvish to a full count before striking out on the ninth pitch of the at-bat for the first out of the eighth inning.

Rick Ankiel followed by striking out, and Justin Maxwell hit an easy grounder to second baseman Ian Kinsler.

Darvish looked toward the sky for a couple of seconds before retreating to the dugout.

He began the ninth by getting two easy groundouts before Gonzalez ruined his bid for perfection with a sharp grounder.

"That was impossible to catch," Darvish said.

Gonzalez, 24, made his big league debut last year, hitting .234 in 80 games for Houston.

Darvish, who played seven professional seasons in Japan before joining the Rangers, set rookie franchise records for wins (16) and strikeouts (221) last season. He finished third in AL rookie of the year voting behind winner Mike Trout and Oakland outfielder Yoenis Cespedes.

The win gives Darvish five straight regular-season victories dating to last season. He took the loss in the Rangers' 5-1 defeat to Baltimore in the AL wild-card game.

Using his dizzying array of pitches, including a fastball that topped out at 97 mph, a slider and 95 mph cutters, Darvish bedeviled the mostly inexperienced Houston hitters.

"When I tell you we threw everything, we threw everything," said Rangers catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who caught Humber's perfect game for the White Sox last season. "We threw the kitchen sink tonight, but Yu has the ability to do that and he's special."

Darvish (1-0) sailed through the first four innings, striking out nine, including the side in the second and fourth.

Carter hit a long fly that looked as though it could be gone before David Murphy caught it just in front of the left-center wall for the first out of the fifth. First baseman Mitch Moreland made a nice catch on a liner by Ankiel for the second out.

Michael Kirkman relieved Darvish after Gonzalez's hit. Jose Altuve followed with a single before Kirkman fanned pinch hitter J.D. Martinez to end it.

Darvish has never thrown a complete game in the majors.

Lucas Harrell (0-1), who was Houston's most successful starter a year ago with 11 wins, allowed six hits and one run with four strikeouts in six innings.

Lance Berkman had a run-scoring single in the third against his former team. He finished with three hits and two RBIs.

Kinsler hit a two-run homer off Rhiner Cruz in the seventh to make it 3-0. Texas added two runs in the eighth and two in the ninth.

Game notes

The last no-hitter by a Rangers pitcher was Kenny Rogers' perfect game against the Angels on July 28, 1994. ... Berkman extended his hitting streak at Minute Maid Park to 14 games dating to July 26, 2010. That includes his last three home games with the Astros, and 11 appearances as an opposing player with St. Louis and Texas. ... These teams wrap up the series Wednesday when Humber makes his Astros debut against Texas RHP Alexi Ogando.

The Chicago White Sox were absolutely outstanding Monday against the Kansas City Royals. Are there any takeaways from the Opening Day victory for the White Sox, though?

Matter of fact, there are.

Three things stood out after digesting the White Sox' 1-0 victory over the Royals.

Chris Sale is Worth Every Penny

Chris Sale, who recently signed a five-year/$32.5 million contract extension, was lights out on Monday for the White Sox.

He limited the vaunted Royals offense to seven hits and no earned runs over 7.2 innings. And make no mistake about it, the Royals can hit—especially Sox pitching.

Last year, they finished with a mighty .279/.336/.410 slash line against the South Siders. Addison Reed had an ERA over 13.00 and Sale lost three of his eight games against the Royals in 2012. Ouch.

Monday was different. White Sox manager Robin Ventura noted during his post-game presser that Sale has matured as a pitcher (via ESPN.com). He is right.

Sure, he got into a jam when he loaded the bases with one out in the third inning, but overall, Sale delivered exactly what Ventura and the sell-out crowd hoped for.

His Opening Day performance is not a fluke. Sale has the goods.


There is No Middle Ground for Tyler Flowers

Tyler Flowers is going to have an interesting year, and Monday may be a microcosm.

He struck out with runners on first and second in the bottom of the second inning, smoked the game-winning home run in the fifth and hit a towering pop up in the sixth. He also caught a shutout and played some exceptional defense behind the dish.

Expect it to be this way for the remainder of the season. Flowers will hit his share of home runs, but challenge Adam Dunn for the team lead in strikeouts.

He will also do wonders for a relatively young pitching staff.

Flowers will demand a lot of patience from White Sox fans this season.

Pitching and Defense is the Name of the Game

The White Sox collected eight hits, scored one run and struck out nine times Monday. They also went 0-6 with RISP. It was a rather unimpressive offensive showing at U.S. Cellular Field.

It will, most likely, be like that for a majority of the season.

The good news is that the White Sox are not built around offense. The more important stat line against the Royals was the defensive one.

They turned two double plays, Gordon Beckham made an outstanding catch on a rocket off the bat of Lorenzo Cain and White Sox pitching held the Royals to one hit—a rather unimpressive infield single by Alcides Escobar—in six at-bats with men in scoring position.

Matt Thornton and Addison Reed looked great in relief and—while the Royals stole two bases—Flowers handled some tailing breaking balls quite nicely.

The White Sox were crisp and efficient all game.

To be sure, it is only one game.

This one game said a lot though.

Two of the biggest heavyweights in world football will clash this week in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals as Juventus take on Bayern Munich in Germany.

The German giants have been one of the most dominant teams this season—running away with the Bundesliga title courtesy of their explosive attack and phenomenal defense—and playing at home, will seemingly be a very tough team to beat.

However, Juventus are the reigning Italian champions and appear likely to repeat that feat in 2013 courtesy of their strength in midfield and consistency.

They'll be a tough opponent for any team to beat, and will certainly push the German powerhouse here. Whether they'll have the cohesion and discipline required to break down Bayern Munich still remains to be seen, but it will certainly be a thrilling matchup nonetheless.

Read on for a full preview of this key quarterfinal including all the need-to-know details, live viewing information, analysis and predictions.



Date: Tuesday, April 2, 2013

Start time: 2:45 p.m. ET (Eastern time)

Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany

Tonight on HBO GAME OF THRONES returns with the premiere of it’s third season.  If you’re like us then you’re just waiting for the new season and all the usual amazingness. Season 1 and 2 of GoT were wonderful and HBO better not let us down.

Before tonight’s show here is where some of our favorite character were at the end of season 2.  Ned Stark’s daughter Arya and her friends Gendry and Hot Pie escaped Harrenhal and began walking towards her brother Robb’s forces in the Riverlands.  Bran was headed for the Wall.  Brienne of Tarth has Jamie Lannister and she is headed to King’s Landing to trade for Sansa and Arya.  Daenerys Targaryen (Danys) is looking for a boat to sail to the Westeros.  Joffrey Baratheon has gotten rid of Sansa and is now looking to marry Margaery Tyrel.  Jon Snow is pretending to be a traitor so he can get close to the King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder.  Stannis lost at Blackwater and has gone to Dragonstone.  Theon Greyjoy was in a spot of trouble.  Tyrion Lannister was hurt in the battle and is scarred and put aside by his family again.  Tywin Lannister is the hero of Blackwater and removes his son Tyrion as the Hand of The King.  If you missed last season’s season 2 finale, we have a full and detailed recap here for you!

In the new season the Lannisters hold total power over King’s Landing after defeating Stannis Baratheon’s forces.   Stannis has retreated to Dragonstone. Robb Stark, King in the North, still controls much of the South as well, and has yet to lose a battle.  Meanwhile Daenerys Targaryen is reunited with her three dragons and is  searching for ships and allies to take her home and allies to conquer it.

On tonight’s show Jon Snow is brought before Mance Rayder, the King Beyond the Wall, while the Night’s Watch survivors retreat south. In King’s Landing, Tyrion asks for his reward.  Littlefinger offers Sansa a way out. Cersei hosts a dinner for the royal family. Daenerys sails into Slaver’s Bay.

It looks like Joffrey Baratheon is going to be as evil as ever this season.  Jack Gleeson who plays the character said, “I think he’s as evil as he ever was but he’s channeling it through a different means. There’s a different dynamic – he’s trying to impress Margaery with his evil deeds and he’s still rebelling against his mother.”

What is there to say about Merle Dixon on "The Walking Dead"?

Michael Rooker's performance emerged so fully formed that even though we saw the character for barely more than one episode in Season 1, fans constantly demanded to know when he would return. When he turned up in Daryl's fever dream in Season 2, it was the first time Rooker and Norman Reedus shared the screen as brothers. And it wasn't until this season that we really got to spend more time with Merle, see the Dixon brothers interact as actual people and discover what kind of guy truly lied beneath the gruff exterior.

I think most fans would admit that even though Merle was a racist, sexist, socially backward, borderline-homicidal maniac, that he was also kind of lovable. Most of us want to believe that redemption is possible. That even when someone makes mistakes they can see the error of their ways. And Merle was the ultimate symbol of that belief on "The Walking Dead." He was the Governor's toadie, he tried to kill Michonne and Glenn, he turned over Maggie to the Governor knowing she'd be in danger, and he killed -- we learned tonight -- 16 people (or "16 men" as he put it, perhaps meaningfully) while taking out the Governor's "garbage."

And yet we wanted Merle to live. To be a better man. To find peace with his brother. But Merle was forever destined to be an outsider, and that's why he had to die.

"This Sorrowful Life" was another remarkable episode in what has been an extremely strong season overall for "The Walking Dead." It was the best installment since "Clear," and it may not be a coincidence that both were written by Season 4 showrunner Scott Gimple. Current showrunner Glen Mazzara clearly knew Gimple had the goods to trust him with major episodes like this, and both Gimple and director Greg Nicotero (also elevated to executive producer for next season) brought their A-game.

There wasn't an ounce of fat in the hour. The episode opened with Rick attempting to sell Daryl and Hershel on his misguided belief he could turn Michonne over to the Governor and just kept rolling from there. Merle told Rick he could never go through with it. Carol questioned Merle about whether or not he was really a part of the group. Merle sees he can't completely control Daryl with Rick around. Merle takes it on himself to deliver Michonne ... only to ultimately realize that he's not up to it either and gathers some walkers for a one-man attack on Woodbury.

walking-dead-michael-rooker-merle-dixon-zombie-tyler-chase-ben-this-sorrowful-life-amc.jpgHe may have even succeeded in his plan of taking out the Governor if stupid Ben hadn't gotten in the way of the bullet. And because of that single moment of bad timing, the Governor -- that horrible lucky bastard -- came out on top yet again. He gave Merle a beating, bit off two fingers, shot him and left him to turn.

Everything built to that final anguished moment of Daryl finding walker-Merle feeding on stupid dead Ben and being forced to do the horrible thing we saw Andrea do back in Season 1: kill a sibling-turned-walker. But it wasn't the heartbreakingly fast ending Andrea gave Amy. Daryl's mercy killing was full of pain, grief, anger, frustration, rage. (And Norman Reedus' ability to communicate every single emotion churning inside of Daryl was astonishing to behold. This was a exceptionally well-acted episode all around but Reedus and Rooker deserve the highest kudos.)

The Dixon brothers were never able to work through their issues, and now Merle is dead. Daryl still has family, but he no longer has blood.

MIAMI FINAL PREVIEW

• The Sony Open Tennis final on Sunday features No. 2 seed Andy Murray of Great Britain and No. 3 seed David Ferrer of Spain. Murray is looking to win his second title here (2009) and move to No. 2 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, while Ferrer is looking to become the first Spaniard to win the title in tournament history (since 1985). He will improve to No. 4 in the rankings (from No. 5).

• World No. 3 Murray brings a 6-5 career head-to-head against World No. 5 Ferrer, including 5-1 on hard courts .Ferrer’s lone hard court win came at the 2011 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London. This is the second time they have met in a final. On Oct. 16, 2011 Murray defeated the Spaniard 75 64 to win his last (and eighth career) ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title in Shanghai.

• Ferrer, who turns 31 on Tuesday, is trying to become the first Spaniard to win the Sony Open Tennis title. He is the fourth different Spaniard to reach the final and he comes in with an ATP World Tour match wins-high 25-4 record and two titles in three finals. He captured his first ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title last November in Paris (d. Janowicz) to improve to 1-3 in ATP Masters 1000 finals. He is playing here for the 11th straight year with a 25-10 record and his previous best result was the semi-finals in 2005 (l. to Nadal) and ‘06 (l. to Federer). Ferrer is 18-52 career vs. Top 5 opponents and he is looking for his first win over a Top 5 in a final (0-12). He won only one set in those finals, against No. 2 Nadal in ‘08 Barcelona (has lost 20 sets in a row). He is 1-25 in sets.

• Murray is looking to become the seventh player to win multiple titles here and move to No. 2 and overtake Federer in the Emirates ATP Rankings. Last year’s Sony Open runner-up and ’09 winnner is appearing in his 40th career ATP World Tour final (25-14 mark) and 12th ATP Masters 1000 final (8-3). Murray has a career record of 36-39 vs. Top 5 and 10-11 in finals, 6-3 in ATP Masters 1000 finals. He lost to No. 2 Djokovic at ‘12 Shanghai and No. 1 Djokovic here last year, and No. 1 Nadal at ‘09 Indian Wells.

The 85th Academy Awards will take place on Sunday 24 February, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The awards ceremony begins at 1.30amGMT.

Sky Movies will air the red carpet arrivals live from 11.30pm GMT, on Sky Movies Oscars (and HD) and Sky Living (and HD). The actual awards ceremony will air on Sky Movies Oscars (and HD) from 1.30am GMT to 4am GMT.  

There are, as ever, several big names in contention for a prestigious Oscar, but the biggest among them are two films with strongly patriotic/military themes - Ben Affleck's Argo and Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. Also in contention is Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, a re-telling of the US hunt for Osama Bin Laden and, on a lighter note, the romantic comedy Silver Linings Playbook. If Daniel Day-Lewis picks up the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in Lincoln, he will become the first actor in cinema history to win the coveted award three times.

Hosts and Presenters

The event will be hosted by the comic actor Seth MacFarlane. Academy Award winners Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman will be among this year's high-profile presenters, show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron revealed on Friday 22 February.

"Between the two of them, Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman have created more iconic characters than any other pair of actors in the world," Zadan and Meron said in a statement released to Entertainment Weekly. "Their participation in this year's Oscars completes a list of presenters and performers that truly represents that great breadth and depth of acting talent in film today."

Nicholson has been nominated 12 times - more than any other actor - and has won Best Actor Oscars for One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and As Good as It Gets (1997). He also won the award for Best Supporting Actor in Terms of Endearment (1983).

Hoffman has been nominated seven times and has won awards for leading roles in Kramer vs. Kramer (1979) and Rain Man (1988).

Other presenters at the Oscars ceremony will include Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Aniston, Michael Douglas, Jamie Foxx, Paul Rudd, Salma Hayek, Melissa McCarthy, Liam Neeson, John Travolta, Ben Affleck, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Mark Wahlberg, Jean Dujardin, Octavia Spencer and Meryl Streep.

Australia were also beaten 0-1 at home by South Africa but have fared better than India during that period. However, the recent retirements of Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey have left their middle order bereft of experience. The last time these two teams locked horns, Australia pummeled India 4-0 at home riding on the superlative performances of their skipper Michael Clarke and the fast bowlers. But conditions in India are completely different and it will take a gargantuan effort from the visitors to outclass the hosts.

England beat India 2-1 in 2012, despite losing the first Test, and showed that the hosts are no longer unbeatable in their own backyard with a host of slow bowlers. India have had a horrid last two years in Test cricket, losing eight successive matches overseas and beating only West Indies and New Zealand at home. A series win against Australia will do a world of good to their confidence and will restore some pride. On the other hand, another defeat at home threatens to besmirch their legacy and will spell an impending doom for Indian cricket.

Harbhajan Singh confirmed in the pre-match press conference that he will play the first Test, indicating that India might go with their all three frontline spinners along with Ravindra Jadeja's left-arm spin. This isn't a rare instance as India played four spinners - Pragyan Ojha, R Ashwin, Piyush Chawla and Jadeja - in the Nagpur Test against England in December.

Interestingly, the two sides are banking on different strengths to try and outdo the other. India have a substandard and largely inexperienced fast bowling attack which has been their biggest failing over the years, and thus are counting on spin. India's second-string spinners posed problems to the Australian batsmen in the two tour matches and the inexperienced team has a task at hand to exorcise the spin demons in the first Test. Barring Clarke and Shane Watson, the other batsmen have no experience of playing Tests in India and this a prominent factor which the hosts will look to capitalize on.

What remains to be seen, however, is how much assistance Australia's battery of fast men gets from the Chepauk pitch which is renowned to be a batting paradise and help spinners from day four.

What India and Australia have in common is worries at the top of the batting. India axed Gautam Gambhir from the 15-member squad for the first two Tests and drafted in Murali Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan while retaining an out-of-form Virender Sehwag. Vijay is most likely to get the nod over Dhawan for the first Test; Sehwag will do good to seek inspiration from his outstanding record at the venue.

David Warner is recovering from a fractured thumb and Australia have taken a gamble by including him in the playing XI for the first Test. Ed Cowan struck a fine century against South Africa last year but struggled for runs since then. Phil Hughes - set to bat at No. 3 - was ill at ease against spin in the last tour match, leaving Australia with a brittle top order. These problems on both sides leave both India and Australia reliant on their respective middle orders.

Harbhajan struggled against England last year, but with a good record against Australia - 90 wickets in 16 Tests - the latter could yet again prove a thorn in Australia's flesh. Additionally, the presence of left-arm spinner Ojha gives India a clear advantage.

Unlike England with Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar, Australia don't have a quality spinner in their ranks which might prove a huge deterrent. Nathan Lyon has been preferred as the solitary slow-bowling option for the Chennai Test and the offspinner will have a big role to play if Australia want to stamp a significant impact on the series. After Lyon, Australia do not have a genuine wicket-taking spinner in their XI.

Where the tourists outrank India, however, is in the fast-bowling stakes and they are going in with a clear plan. Australia will play with four pace bowlers - Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson and the debutant Moises Henriques - in Chennai while India will have Ishant Sharma as their spearhead followed by one of the uncapped Ashok Dinda and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Starc is in sparkling form of late and Siddle has been consistent for the last year; if Pattinson manages to get away without any injuries, Australia's fast bowling stock is remarkable and they'll take heart from James Anderson's superb showing in the Test series in India. Henriques was the best of the Australian seamers in the warm-up match against India A and if he gets reverse swing again he could prove a steady hand at one end with his medium pace.

Teams

Australia: 1 David Warner, 2 Ed Cowan, 3 Phillip Hughes, 4 Shane Watson, 5 Michael Clarke (capt), 6 Matthew Wade (wk), 7 Moises Henriques, 8 Peter Siddle, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 James Pattinson, 11 Nathan Lyon.

India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Murali Vijay, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Virat Kohli, 6 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Harbhajan Singh 9 Ashok Dinda/R Ashwin, 10 Ishant Sharma 11 Pragyan Ojha

 Surprisingly, Antonio Valencia does not start for Manchester United. Danny Welbeck will get a run out on the wing for Ferguson's side.

All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Alex Ferguson's preferred method of containing him, when Manchester United takes on Real Madrid in UEFA Champions League action on Wednesday evening. Ferguson has been using Phil Jones in a defensive midfield role in recent weeks to prepare him for the occasion, and has selected Jones in that role. Expect Jones and Ronaldo to see a lot of each other during the game.

With Raphael Varane struggling with an injury, Mourinho has picked Raphael Varane and Sergio Ramos at the back. Pepe has recently returned from injury, but Varane's form has been superb as of late. Michael Essien, who has also been in good form recently, does not start as Mourinho looks to attack.

Real Madrid starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Diego Lopez; Fabio Coentrao, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa; Sami Khedira, Xabi Alonso; Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Özil, Angel di Maria; Karim Benzema

Manchester United (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Patrice Evra, Jonny Evans, Rio Ferdinand, Rafael; Phil Jones, Michael Carrick; Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney, Shinji Kagawa; Robin van Persie

Defending champions England will take on last edition finalists New Zealand in a crucial Super Six match of the ICC Women’s World Cup at Brabourne stadium today.

England lost a low-scoring tie against Australia but bounced back to win against South Africa. England skipper Charlotte Edwards needs to fire with the bat, while the combination of Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole needs to provide early breakthroughs in their quest to defend the title. While the Kiwis depend on their captain Suzie Bates, much will also hinge on their pacers Sian Ruck, Rachael Candy and Lea Tahuhu. England’s left-arm spinner Holly Colvin (23) said, “we know there is a slim chance of qualifying for the final and there have been quite a lot of upsets. We need Australia to beat the West Indies and that is completely out of our control. I am sure it’s going to be quite close. All we can do is focus on our match and win it.

“It would be absolutely gutting if we didn’t make it to the final. We obviously would have liked going into the game knowing that if you win, then you are into the final. But the results haven’t gone our way, so we just got to make sure we win well,” said Colvin.

As the use of Decision Review System in the men’s game continues to be a topic of discussion, Colvin said that it should be introduced for women’s matches as well. “DRS is used in the men’s game so why not in women’s games? But then, for that to happen, every single game would have to be televised. I think it has helped the men’s game and I am all for it,” she said.

Meanwhile, South Africa will clash with Sri Lanka in an inconsequential Super Six game at Cuttack today.

Both teams have no chance of qualifying for the final. Australia have already reached the final to be played in Mumbai on Sunday. 

Their chances of qualifying for the final will depend on the result of the other Super Six tie between West Indies and Australia at the MIG Cricket Club ground. If West Indies manage to register a win over Australia, it will be curtains for England, making the England vs NZ tie a mere formality.

With Australia already in the final, there will be three teams — England, West Indies and New Zealand — vying for the one last spot.

World T20 Champions West Indies will look to put on a show when they face Australia in a one-off Twenty20 International on Wednesday night. The Windies have found the going tough on the ongoing tour and will look to get their first victory in the upcoming match at the Gabba.

“We have an opportunity to finish the tour on a high. We did the job very well in Sri Lanka last year. The last time we played against Australia in this format we completely outplayed them so that is the kind of motivation we will carry into the match. I know the boys are definitely looking forward to it and I know we will dust off the One-Dayers and play like world champions.”

Sammy added: “The people over here in Australia have been very supportive of us and we have not demonstrated our very best cricket for them to see, so we want to give them something special before we head back home.”

Skipper Darren Sammy made no secret about it when he said the team is “going all out for a win”, as they look to repeat the kind of performances when they won the ICC World T20 Tournament in Sri Lanka last October. In that tournament they beat Australia in the semi-finals and went on to defeat Sri Lanka in the final at the R Premadasa Stadium.

“We have to come in and play like true champions. We are the World Champions and we want to showcase our skills and show the people of Australia what we have. We have not demonstrated that a lot on this tour so we have to look to put it together on Wednesday,” Sammy said.

“Australia played very well throughout the series and we didn’t play very at our very best and the results told us so. Tino bowled really well in the two matches he played. As he said he was on ‘six cylinders’ and got some good wickets for us.”

He said of Charles: “For a young guy who has been under pressure, to come out and score his first hundred at the MCG, that was really great and I would like to commend him on the way he played. He played well from start to finish of the innings and we hope he can continue from his point.”

Looking back at the ODI Series, Sammy noted that the West Indies failed to win the “50-50 moments” and that cost them dearly. However, he was full of praise for fast bowler Tino Best, who bowled with good pace and got fourwickets in his two matches; and opener Johnson Charles, who made 100 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground – his maiden international century.
