Kazuchika Okada break this record.

Kazuchika Okada is becoming the John Cena of NJPW: he is the man that’s most associated with the main event scene. But unlike Cena, who was and still is, to some degree a polarizing figure, Okada is one of the most universally-praised and respected wrestlers in the world right now and the real man to beat who stand tall no matter who is his opponent. Okada beat ever tough opponent put in front of him.

Team India is all set to snatch victory from Proteas as African Safari thrill began today.

On match eve, South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis did talk about his dream wicket and how Newlands can come very close to it. “In a perfect world, it will be a quick wicket that nips around a bit. We also want to try and eliminate spin as much as possible. You don’t want excessive seam movement because that brings both bowling attacks into the game.

Now, Serena Williams pulled out her name from Australian Open 2018.

Former world number one and American tennis star Serena Williams has pulled out of the first major of the season, Australian Open, beginning January 15. The 36-year-old, who won last year’s Grand Slam title at the Melbourne Park, made a comeback to the tennis last week just four-and-a-half months after giving birth to her baby girl Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. In September, Serena had revealed that she had set an ‘outrageous’ goal of making a comeback at the Australian Open, something which will push her Grand Slam total to an all-time record-tying 24 titles. However, Serena now said that she is not fully ready to return for the season-opening Grand Slam as she believes her preparations had fallen just short of what she needed to be competitive.

 

4. England collapse for 346, Australia got back up after loss of early wicket.

England’s maligned tail piled on runs before the tourists were bowled out for 346 in their first innings at lunch on the second day of the final Ashes Test. Australia now trail by 153 runs. Newcomer Tom Curran smacked 39 off 65 balls and StuartBroad clubbed two sixes in his 31 off 32 balls as England lashed out late in the extended morning session. Steve Smith pulled off a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Dawid Malan for 62, but the Australians were guilty of two embarrassing dropped catches to give England a helping hand.

 

5. After Bhuvi magnificent spell, its AB show after lunch Proteas score 107 for 3

After Bhuvi magnificent spell, its AB show after lunch Proteas score 107 for 3

Indian king of swing Bhuvneshwar was outstanding but after being ripped apart for 17 in one over by AB de Villers, has struggled for rhythm. Shami and Bumrah couldn't adjust to the pitch or the conditions and bowled too many boundary balls. No sign of Ashwin as yet. Should see him in the second session. The outfield is quick and as AB began to wield his bat, the Indian shoulders and body language. They need to lift and the lunch break should be a good breather for them. Back in a short while to see what the post-lunch session throws up.
