Warner dominates as Australia capitalise on toss win in Ashes Test
- January 18, 2018
That has been apparent throughout the tour so far. So when Curran had Warner caught by Stuart Broad at mid-on and thought he had his first Test wicket his unconfined joy was as understandable as Warner's anger. Smith and Khawaja were unable to get going as they would have liked, giving England hope after their fightback. Second, keeping it on a good length and inducing errors from the batsmen is a more English way of taking wickets than an Australian way. (more...)

Conte admits below-par Chelsea were tired
- January 17, 2018
We played with almost the same players as we did against Arsenal . But I think, today, I saw a lot of players very tired. Compared to last season we are conceding less and showing more solidity. Leicester , meanwhile, will have to make do without the services of defensive trio Robert Huth (match fitness), Wes Morgan (hamstring) and Danny Simpson (hamstring), but Jamie Vardy (groin) and Christian Fuchs (illness) could feature for the visitors.

The Eagles need to find a way to put Foles in a position to succeed. Let's take a look at the big picture. The Eagles entered the game with the league's top-ranked run defense, which gave up 79.2 yards per game in the regular season. (more...)

But the man now destined for one of those jobs is Patricia, one year after he interviewed for the head-coaching jobs with the Rams and Chargers .
