Final, 22nd Nov 2008, KO 08:55, Ground: Suncorp Stadium

On Saturday night New Zealand and Australia face off to become the World Cup holders and what a game it should be,the Kiwis normally get better as any tournament continues while the Kangaroos are always at their unbeatable best.

New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney has named an unchanged team for Saturday's World Cup final against Australia.

Wigan scrum-half Thomas Leuluai will keep the hooking role after impressing on his switch for the semi-final and there is another starting role for South Sydney second rower Bronson Harrison, one of the surprise successes of the tournament.

"The Kangaroos have some wonderful players and they've played some fantastic football during the tournament so far," said Kearney.

"While we know we'll need to be a lot better against Australia, we're excited with the opportunity we have. We don't want to have any regrets on Saturday night."

Skipper Nathan Cayless and second rower Sika Manu both keep their places after avoiding disciplinary action.

Cayless has been cautioned for a high tackle on Warrington forward Adrian Morley during the Kiwis' 32-22 semi-final win over England last Saturday while Manu received a similar warning for a foul on Gareth Ellis.

Players are allowed one caution in the tournament, leaving both men free to line up against the Kangaroos at the Suncorp Stadium.

The Kiwis will be making their third World Cup final appearance but have never lifted the trophy.

West Ham v Everton English Premier League Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: West Ham vs Everton, Highlights Video, Match Report
Played at Venue: Upton Park Date: Saturday 8 November

Everton scored three goals in four astonishing minutes to break West Ham's hearts with an incredible fightback in the final 10 minutes at Upton Park.

West Ham vs Everton Match Report
Ecstatic Everton put on a late, late show to sink shell-shocked West Ham with three goals inside eight final, frenetic minutes.

Gianfranco Zola's side had looked all set for victory against the goal-shy Merseysiders after substitute Jack Collison had given the Hammers a deserved lead with his first senior goal for the club.

But somehow, West Ham saw three points turn to one and then none, as Joleon Lescott levelled before Louis Saha struck twice to keep Everton in seventh spot and leave the home side precariously in 13th place, just two points clear of the drop zone.

Last Saturday, Zola had arrested a forlorn four-match losing streak at Middlesbrough and, after claiming their first draw of the campaign down by the Riverside , he looked all set to bag a much-needed victory as this match entered its final stages.

Up until then, there only looked to be one winner and that was the Hammers, who had earlier made two changes with fit-again Scott Parker and Lee Bowyer coming in for substitutes Hayden Mullins and Collison.

Certainly, Parker wasted no time in marking his return to the side, when he unleashed a low, 18-yarder that skidded across the sodden Upton Park turf, before being tipped away at full stretch by Tim Howard.

And on the quarter-hour mark, Collison found himself back in the fold, too, when he stepped from the bench to replace Matthew Upson, who was worryingly stretchered away after landing awkwardly in an aerial challenge with Victor Anichebe.

Midway through the half, Freddie Sears superbly released Craig Bellamy but his shot was charged down and, shortly afterwards, the Welshman had another shot headed clear by Phil Jagielka, before volleying a third effort high into the damp East End air.

On the half-hour mark, the buzzing Bellamy brilliantly turned Joseph Yobo before cutting back to Sears, who sent a rising, ten-yarder crashing back off the crossbar and, as the half drew to a close, the teenager then drilled a low, angled shot behind.

With last weekend's match-winner Marouane Fellaini suspended, Everton had also kicked-off minus the injured Yakubu and Steven Pienaar following their win over Fulham - a situation that had forced David Moyes to bring in Saha, Anichebe and Jack Rodwell.

And apart from a handful of speculative first-half efforts from Saha, Tim Cahill, Mikel Arteta and a rising Leon Osman shot, the muted Merseysiders had shown little attacking appetite.

Having been on the back foot for those opening 45 minutes, it was not too difficult for Everton to look livelier after the break and, with the hour-mark approaching, young Rodwell sent his downward header bouncing just inches wide.

On 63 minutes, however, the Hammers finally broke the deadlock, when Parker back-heeled into the path of Collison and the young Welsh international calmly curled a 12-yarder beyond Howard's outstretched left-palm to give his side a merited lead.

In reply, Lescott agonisingly headed Jagielka's deep free-kick across the face of goal and, concerned by the fact that the Hammers defence that had somehow failed to keep a clean sheet in any of its previous 25 league and cup matches, that was enough to give the home fans amongst the crowd of 33,961 the jitters.

Certainly, their fears were well-founded, for Everton were about to embark on a remarkable rampage that would see them score those three goals inside five manic minutes.

On 83 minutes, Lescott stole in front of James Collins to nod home Saha's cross into the back of the net.

And then goal-maker turned goal-taker as the twisting and turning Frenchman collected from Anichebe sent a low, angled 15-yarder in off the sprawling Robert Green's right-hand post.

With an East End evacuation by the stunned Hammers fans now in full flow, that man Saha then lashed home his second goal, after Cahill intercepted Julien Faubert's woeful pass, before inviting his team-mate to fire a low 25-yarder beyond the home keeper and seal an improbable win for Moyes' men.

Stoke City Vs Arsenal English Premier League Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: Stoke City Vs Arsenal, Match Report, Highlights Video
Saturday November 1, 2008, 11th Day,Played at: Venue Britannia Stadium

Ricardo Fuller and Seyi Olofinjana both scored after long throw-ins by Rory Delap as Arsenal capitulated and also had Robin van Persie sent 0ff.

Match Report:
Rory Delap's almost legendary long throws led to both of Stoke City's goals as Tony Pulis' men gained a memorable victory against mighty Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger's side never got to grips with the aerial power of their hosts and, despite bags of possession, they hardly tested home goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.

Arsenal bossed the early stages, but that meant nothing when fine play between Mamady Sidibe and Ricardo Fuller led to Delap's first long throw of the match in the 11th minute.

Delap's wind-assisted delivery was huge and it only required the slightest of touches from the head of Fuller before the ball flashed inside Manuel Almunia's right-hand post.

The goal gave Stoke huge belief and Arsenal appeared shell-shocked as the underdogs pressed hard for a second.

Stoke almost got it in the 20th minute when Delap looped a header over the stranded Almunia and Gael Clichy had to clear the ball off the line.

Arsenal finally landed a blow of note five minutes later when Emmanuel Adabeyor's 20-yard shot was held low down to his left by Sorensen.

And a magnificent pass from Cesc Fabregas deserved better than a poor chest control by Nicklas Bendtner, which allowed Sorensen to claim the loose ball.

But Stoke, well organised and biting into their challenges, were largely untroubled and continued to give their illustrious visitors problems at the other end of the field.

The Arsenal defence was struggling to deal with Sidibe, in particular, with City making the most of their height and weight advantage.

Arsenal, no doubt given a stern half-time talking-to by Wenger, upped the ante after the interval with Fabregas pulling most of the strings.

But Stoke remained a tough nut to crack and Wenger made his first change in the 58th minute with Theo Walcott brought on in place of Bacary Sagna.

The young England star won a corner from his first touch and Kolo Toure almost levelled when he volleyed Fabregas' delivery a foot too high.

Robin Van Persie soon followed Walcott into the attack, with Denilson making way, as Wenger went for broke.

But Arsenal were left with a mountain to climb in the 73rd minute when another Delap throw was flicked on by Ryan Shawcross and Seyi Olofinjana bundled in the loose ball.

And it was as good as over three minutes later when Van Persie was sent shown a straight red card for a ridiculous kick and barge on Sorensen.

But there was a sad ending to the game when a poor challenge by Delap resulted in Walcott being stretchered from the field with a leg injury in stoppage time.

Clichy scored with long range shot which took two deflections from Fabregas' short free-kick, but it proved only a consolation as Stoke ran down the clock against nine men.

Everton Vs Fulham English Premier League Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: Everton Vs Fulham, Match Report, Highlights Video
Played at:Saturday November 1, 2008, 11th Day,Venue: Goodison Park

Louis Saha's late winner against his former club Fulham gave Everton their first home Premier League win of the season after 87 minutes of frustration.

Match Report
Everton subjected Fulham to their 16th consecutive defeat at Goodison Park after a late Louis Saha header gave the Blues their first home win of the season.

After dominating the first half Everton faced a much tougher second 45 minutes with Fulham battling for every ball and crashing two efforts against the woodwork.

David Moyes' men went into the game full of confidence on the back of a 1-1 draw against Manchester United, and a 1-0 win at Bolton in midweek.

Everton piled the pressure on the visitors back line from the off and within the first two minutes a high ball into the box from captain Phil Neville found the head of the free-scoring Marouane Fellaini.

The towering midfielder expertly directed the ball to the on-rushing Tim Cahill but his swing miss allowed Fulham to clear their lines.

Making his first start for Everton in a month, Cahill looked sharp and it was his determination on 10 minutes that won the ball deep in the Fulham half and released Mikel Arteta down the left.

His whipped in cross flew straight to the head of Steven Pienaar but the young midfielder seemed surprised by the ball's pace and could only direct his effort into the arms of a grateful Mark Schwarzer.

Having been camped in their own half for most of the opening 20 minutes, Fulham struggled to play their way around a solid Everton defence but it was Jimmy Bullard who had the first strike at goal for the visitors but his 25 yard-effort only found Row Z.

The visitors began to string a few passes together and a ball onto the chest of Bobby Zamora on the edge of the Everton area was accurately played off to his strike partner Andy Johnson.

The former Everton striker rolled the ball to Bullard who once again drilled from distance but failed to trouble Tim Howard.

Everton looked the better side going forward and should have taken the lead just before the half-hour mark after Arteta had played a nice one-two with Yakubu. The Spaniard drove a low pass across the edge of the box to Fellaini who was looking for his fourth goal in five matches.

The 20-year-old blasted his shot past a sprawling Schwarzer only for the ball to hit the foot of the post and no-one was following up to turn home the rebound.

Johnson had the best chance of the half when Zamora challenged Blues keeper Howard at the front post and.

Under pressure from the former Spurs and West Ham striker, Howard could only palm the ball to the feet of Johnson but, after deciding against a first-time shot, he allowed the Blues to get back and clear the danger.

The second half was a much tighter affair with Fulham chasing down every ball and making the Everton midfield work twice as hard as in the first 45 minutes but it was Moyes' side that had the first chance to open the scoring.

Finding himself on the left with only wing-back John Paintsil to beat, Arteta performed a single step-over to give himself the room to whip a ball in to Cahill who powered a header inches over the bar.

Roy Hodgson had fired up his players at half-time and the response was almost instant when Zamora's cross was met by Zoltan Gera who smashed his header against the bar.

Fulham were again unlucky on 72 minutes when Bullard's 25-yard free-kick was heading towards the top corner only for Howard to somehow get a hand to the ball and palm it down.

It went straight to Zamora who shot across the face of goal only to once again be denied by the woodwork.

Everton thought they had snatched the lead when a long punt from Howard took one bounce and invited a challenge from substitute striker Victor Anichebe on Schwarzer who dropped the ball into his own net.

However, the whistle went for a foul much to the bewilderment of the entire Everton squad.

The game was won with only three minutes left on the clock after a battling Leon Osman fought to keep hold of the ball deep in the Fulham half and his high cross was met by the head of Saha - his first Toffees goal against his former club.

Everton: Howard, Neville, Yobo, Jagielka, Lescott, Arteta, Osman, Fellaini (Saha 61), Pienaar (Anichebe 76), Cahill, Yakubu (Vaughan 84).
Subs Not Used: Nash, Hibbert, Baines, Rodwell.

Australia tour of India 3rd Test: Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India Vs Australia at Delhi, Day 4(Four) Highlights video Oct 29-Nov 2, 2008
So that is stumps on day four. A very good day for Australia. Clarke was their star, batting responsibly and riding his luck to hit his eighth Test century, and there were handy contributions from Watson and White along the way as Australia batted till 577, just 36 behind India's first inning total. Heading into day five, India are 79 ahead, having lost Sehwag and Ishant, sent in as nightwatchman. A good way for Australia to end their day of dominance, with the new-ball pairing taking a wicket each.

Close of play day 4 -
India 2nd innings 43/2 (G Gambhir 21*, R Dravid 5*, 13 over)

There wasn't a lot for India today. Their fielding was ragged and the catching very poor, with three straightforward catches going down off Clarke. Sehwag took his maiden five-wicket haul, exploiting the rough in the track, and Kumble took three down the order.

All in all, Australia's day. They will be pleased with their efforts.

After losing Sehwag and Dravid early in the day, the Indians got going with a fine partnership between Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar. While Sachin fell just before tea, thus throwing away yet another opportunity to get a big score, Gambhir and his next partner Laxman, got together to take India to a strong position. Gambhir will like to build on his score of 149 and get a real big one while Laxman too will look forward to get more runs to end his drought.

2nd Test, Day 5(five) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008
Talk about anything, be it the batting, the bowling or fielding. Nothing was less than top class, ofcourse it always requires such a top class effort to beat a World Class team. There were contributions from everyone. Starts from the top of the order - Sehwag and Gambhir, solid batting from the middle order - Ganguly, Tendulkar and Dhoni and then a superb all round bowling and fielding effort with contributions from one and all.

India win by 320 runs to go one up in this 4 match Test series.
Scorecard

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the Man of the Match for his stupendous leadership on the field and not to forget, his wonderful knocks in both the innings of this Test. Now this is what you call, leading from the front and setting an example for one and all in the team.

Saurav Ganguly receives a special award as well. PCA greets him with a memento for this being his last test here. Ofcourse, we will see more of this elegant southpaw in the next two tests as the same squad has been retained.

Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly are felicitated by the Punjab Cricket Association, India v Australia, 2nd Test, Mohali, 5th day, October 21, 2008

Sachin Tendulkar gets a special award for becoming the first person to accumulate 12,000 runs in Test cricket, in a process, he crossed Brian Lara's record of being the highest run getter in Tests. That record lasted for 2 years before it was broken by none other than the Master Blaster himself.

This is the biggest ever win in terms of runs for India. They beat their previous best which they sealed against South Africa in Kanpur back in 1996. They had mauled South Africa by 280 runs on that occasion.

Another day dominated by the Indians. First it was the batsmen who mauled the meek bowling of the Australians and just when the declaration was made, the bowlers then decided to jump into action. Harbhajan Singh and Ishant Sharma bowled inspiring spells to dent the Australians right from the beginning. Mishra bowled with a lot of heart and gave some anxious moments too where he missed the stumps by only a whisker. But just spare a thought for the duo of Clarke and Haddin who batted bravely and weathered the storm with a lot of courage. This is a well scripted partnership and the Australians would want them to continue in the same fashion for the bulk of the day tomorrow. It'll be a demanding job and the Indians will still be seated at the top.

Gambhir and Sehwag have just batted beautifully to ensure that the Indians not only score runs but score them quickly. They will look to continue in the same fashion tomorrow and the declaration will be the biggest question on everybody’s mind.

Premier League Middlesbrough Vs Chelsea Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: Middlesbrough Vs Chelsea Match Highlights, Report, Video

Chelsea completely outclassed Middlesbrough to keep their place at the top of the Premier League table.

Premier League Middlesbrough Vs Chelsea Match Report
Chelsea maintained their unbeaten start to the season as they cruised to a 5-0 win over a lacklustre Middlesbrough outfit at the Riverside Stadium.

The London side showed plenty of attacking flair but it was not a vintage performance.

The Premier League leaders were missing several injured stars and never got out of second gear against a disappointing home side.

Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate must have been bitterly disappointed with the performance of his team.

Boro lined up with five in midfield and Mido as the lone striker, with local hero Stewart Downing making his 200th appearance at the age of 23.

Chelsea welcomed the return after injury of John Terry and there was an encouraging chant of "there's only one England captain" from the visiting fans.

The Blues soon got into their stride and after only 14 minutes Salomon Kalou scored an easy goal after a deflection.

Soon after, home midfielder Gary O'Neil was booked for a foul though the decision was harsh.

Middlesbrough struggled to get into the game and the only surprise of the first half was that Chelsea had only one goal to show for their efforts.

Southgate must have hoped for second-half improvement but Middlesbrough's hopes were dashed with a superb strike by Juliano Belletti from 30 yards.

The power and accuracy of his shot left goalkeeper Ross Turnbull completely helpless and it will certainly be a candidate for goal of the month.

Kalou added a third almost immediately with a shot that struck centre-half David Wheater on its way into the net.

The rout continued as Kalou provided a perfect cross for Frank Lampard to score with a header.

When a Nicolas Anelka shot was fumbled onto a post by Turnbull, Florent Malouda pounced to score an easy goal from close range.

Chelsea were without several stars but they obviously have the strength in depth to mount a serious title challenge this season.

There were empty seats in the stands long before the final whistle as Middlesbrough fans made their way to the exits.

This was one of the Boro's poorest performances in recent years at Riverside Stadium and Southgate faces a tough challenge to lift his players.

Premier League Liverpool Vs Wigan Athletic Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: Liverpool Vs Wigan Athletic Match Highlights, Report, Video
Venue: Anfield Date: Saturday, 18 October

Dirk Kuyt's scissor-kick five minutes from time gave Liverpool all three points against 10-man Wigan in a pulsating game at Anfield.

Barclays Premier League: Liverpool Vs Wigan Athletic Match Report
Liverpool twice came from behind against Wigan to take all three points and join Chelsea at the top of the table after a five-goal thriller at Anfield.

Two first-half strikes from Egypt forward Amr Zaki and one from Dirk Kuyt took the sides in at the break with the Latics deservedly one goal to the good, but a much improved second 45 minutes from the Reds and a Wigan sending-off changed the match.

Late goals from Albert Riera and Kuyt once again stopped the visitors from claiming their first-ever Premier League win at Anfield.

Outplaying the home side for most of the first half, Steve Bruce felt his side should have taken the lead on 22 minutes when a defence-splitting pass from Wilson Palacios left the Liverpool backline statuesque and found Olivier Kapo inside the six-yard box.

With only Pepe Reina to beat Kapo's low drive saw the Reds shot-stopper pull off a good save down to his right and recover quickly enough to clear the ball off the toe of the striker.

With no Fernando Torres for the Reds, goalscoring duties had been left to Robbie Keane, who had a chance to make his mark on the game after 27 minutes when a through ball from Riera left three Wigan defenders scrambling back to catch Keane, who unchallenged managed to curl the ball past Latics keeper Chris Kirkland but past the far post as well.

The breakthrough came just a minute later when a short pass from Reina to his centre-back Daniel Agger just outside the box was miscontrolled by the defender, inviting a challenge by the quick-thinking Amr Zaki, who stole the ball and slotted in his seventh of the season to give his side a well-deserved lead.

Against the run of play the home side found an equaliser on 36 minutes when a surging run from Agger deep inside his own half went unchallenged and, making up for his mistake which gifted Wigan the opener, the centre-half played a neat one-two with Riera and cut the ball back to an unmarked Kuyt, who levelled the scores.

Having got back into the game the Reds started to create a few more chances and a 30-yard thunderbolt from Kuyt was heading into the top corner before Kirkland got his fingertips to the ball and touched it onto the bar.

The visitors reclaimed the lead during added time before the break when a defensive mix up once again involving Agger and Andrea Dossena let Antonio Valencia cross the ball to Zaki on the edge of the six-yard box and he spectacularly volleyed in a right-foot rocket.

After the break the home side looked a different team and the Latics were almost pinned back on their 18-yard line from the off.

Latics keeper Kirkland looked determined to hold on to the lead and a good save from a Kuyt shot from six yards was a sign of things to come and further efforts from Steven Gerrard and Riera had the keeper stretched but looking well up to the task.

The turning point came with 20 minutes to go when referee Mr Wiley showed Valencia a yellow card after he was adjudged to have charged down a Liverpool free-kick before the ball was played.

The player was shown a second yellow four minutes later and ordered from the pitch after his challenge on Xabi Alonso was deemed reckless due to the fact he left the playing surface despite winning the ball.

Taking advantage of the extra man Liverpool found another gear and drew level for the second time with ten minutes left to play.

A one-two between Riera and substitute Nabil El Zhar found the tallwinger striding to meet the ball and his low shot found a path through a crowded area and into the back of the net.

Having all the momentum Liverpool were throwing everything they had at Wigan who had every player behind the ball, but all three points were claimed on 85 minutes after good work from Jermaine Pennant on the right managed to pick out a cross to Kuyt.

The Dutch forward acrobatically volleyed the ball into the ground and over a stranded Kirkland who couldn't get a firm enough hand to the ball to keep it out.

Premier League Manchester United Vs West Bromwich Albion Highlights Video

Barclays Premier League: Manchester United vs West Bromwich Albion Match Highlights, Report, Video
Venue: Old Trafford Date: Saturday, 18 October

Wayne Rooney sparked Manchester United into life against a limited West Brom as the champions moved ominously up to fourth in the Premier League table.

Premier League Manchester United Vs West Bromwich Albion Match Report
Wayne Rooney's world just seems to be getting better and better as the England star proved the catalyst which brought Manchester United their best win so far this season.

It was the United player with the phenomenal never-say-die attitude that finally broke West Brom's stubborn resistance.

He opened the scoring for the Red Devils in the 56th minute and went on to make two of his side's other goals. For good measure also had a first-half effort disallowed.

Rooney's goal - his eighth in six games for club and country - encapsulated why he is the most exciting of England's players.

Dimitar Berbatov sent Rooney racing away down the left with a glorious through ball from inside the centre circle.

Rooney raced clear before cutting inside Ryan Donk in the Albion box and scored with a cool low right-foot shot from 12 yards.

United's second goal 14 minutes later was another masterclass in passing.

Darren Fletcher's ball from the centre circle picked out Rooney, who threaded the perfect pass through for Cristiano Ronaldo to score with a low left-foot shot from 12 yards.

The third goal was United's softest. Nani's cross from the left edge of the Albion penalty area took a double deflection and landed perfectly for Berbatov to nonchalantly fire the ball home right-footed from eight yards on the far post.

With only seconds of the 90 minutes remaining, another superb passing move made it four for the home side.

Ryan Giggs' pinpoint pass found Berbatov on the right corner of the Albion box. He touched the ball on to Rooney to his right and his measured low cross to the far post was tapped home left footed by Nani from close range.

Rooney even had an effort disallowed by referee Mark Halsey in the 23rd minute.

Ronaldo set up the chance for Rooney who put the ball in the net with a sweet shot from 12 yards, only to see it disallowed for his push on Albion defender Gianni Zuiverloon.

Albion could have had few complaints about the result.

Goalkeeper Scott Carson made a string of fine saves to deny Rooney on three occasions and Berbatov once.

The Baggies only came to life as an attacking force after Ishmael Miller replaced Roman Bednar eight minutes into the second half.

Albion's best chance came a minute from time when Miller surged down the right and into the United box before unleashing a tremendous shot which was well saved by United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

India vs Australia, 2nd Test, Day 1 Highlights video

Australia in India, 2008, India vs Australia,
2nd Test, Day 1 (one) Highlights video played at Punjab C.A. Stadium, Mohali, October 17-21, 2008

What an outstanding day of cricket it has been. Mohali couldn't have witnessed anything better with such major milestones being achieved. Sachin Tendulkar crossed Lara to become the highest run getter in Test cricket history and also became the first one to clock 12,000 Test runs. His good old mate Saurav Ganguly too achieved a landmark of reaching 7000 Test runs and became the 4th highest run getter in Tests for his country. Coming back to the game, this has been a superb day full of action.

The bat dominated the ball for the major part of the day today and it had to be, it was a good batting track and the Indian batsmen batted well to peg back the opponents. But then, Australia fought back hard to dismiss the set batsmen and it was game on again. That is when the legendary pair stepped into the middle and rose to the ocassion, superb hundred plus partnership brought back India into the contest again. However, the record smasher was out just at the brink of stumps but Saurav is still there in the middle. The Indians would want to bat as long as they possibly can to give themselves a big total to bowl with. Day 2 should bring a lot of intriguing cricket.
