Hamilton tops first ever night practice

Lewis Hamilton emerged fastest for McLaren in the historic first practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix, as Formula One cars took to the track under floodlights for the first time ever.

The Ferraris took second and third, with Felipe Massa just 0.080 seconds behind Hamilton and four tenths of a second ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen.

Heikki Kovalainen completed the top four in the second McLaren, followed by BMW's Robert Kubica.

Giancarlo Fisichella (Force India) and Jenson Button (Honda) had the honour of being the first men to take to the track and the first to set a flying lap respectively, but it was Toyota's Timo Glock and Renault's Fernando Alonso who emerged as the early pace-setters after the opening runs.

The title contenders started cautiously and gradually built up speed, with Hamilton the first of them to hit the front when he lapped in 1:47.160 as the session passed its halfway point.

Alonso briefly got back ahead of Hamilton with his next flying lap, before the Ferraris each took a turn at the top with half an hour remaining.

Hamilton was still finding more time, though, as he edged back ahead of Raikkonen by 0.068 seconds then improved by a further tenth of a second later in his run.

Raikkonen threatened to beat Hamilton in the final two minutes, only to lose time in the final sector, while Hamilton then went quicker still on his last lap and produced a 1:45.518.

Massa then leapt to second, just 0.080 seconds adrift of the McLaren in the closing moments, as Raikkonen chose to abandon what looked like an even quicker final lap.

Behind Raikkonen and Kovalainen, Kubica earned fifth at the end of a spectacular session that included a high-flying trip over the Turn 10 kerbs by the Pole, who then caught a wild sideways slide as his BMW Sauber landed back on the asphalt.

Nico Rosberg was rapid throughout the session and ultimately put his Williams in sixth, ahead of Alonso, BMW's Nick Heidfeld, Nelson Piquet in the second Renault, and Jenson Button - who showed promising form for Honda to complete the top ten.

In this groundbreaking session, Mark Webber had the unhappy distinction of being the first man to crash at the Marina Bay circuit. The Australian carried too much speed into the left-hander headed into the tunnel under the main grandstand, putting his Red Bull-Renault into the barriers on only his fifth lap.

That left Webber at the bottom of the timesheets, and will give his Red Bull Racing team plenty to do in the shortened one-hour gap before second practice - the usual Friday schedule having been compressed for Singapore to ensure maximum after-dark mileage.

Rubens Barrichello also ended the session in the wall, spinning into the barriers at the last turn with 15 minutes to go, although his Honda escaped with relatively little damage.

He wasn't the only driver to get caught out by the final corner. Both Kovalainen and Toyota's Jarno Trulli spun at the same spot, but while Kovalainen quickly resumed, Trulli drove the wrong way down the circuit briefly then turned across the kerbs and into the pitlane, in a manoeuvre that might attract the stewards' attention.

LG ICC Cricket Awards 2008 Ceremony Video

As part of the ICC's celebration of the game's heroes and role models, the ICC holds an Annual Awards ceremony to celebrate the major individual and team achievements from the past twelve months of world cricket.

The LG ICC Awards 2008 features nine prestigious awards recognising some of the biggest names in world cricket.

The LG ICC Awards ceremony is now in its fifth year and this year it was held in Dubai on 10 September. Previous ceremonies were held in London (2004), Sydney (2005), Mumbai (2006) and Johannesburg (2007).

The event was due to be staged in Lahore ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy but with that tournament being postponed, it will now go ahead in Dubai, where the ICC has its headquarters.

This year’s LG ICC Awards includes eight individual prizes, including a new one for the Twenty20 International Performance of the Year. The winners of seven of these individual awards will be voted upon by a 25-person panel from around the world, made up of renowned former players, respected members of the media, and an elite umpire and elite match referee.

Meanwhile, the nominations for the Women’s Cricketer of the Year Award were decided after each of the world’s top 10 teams was given the opportunity to nominate two players. This award will be voted on by a separate 16-person voting academy featuring former players and other experts on the women’s game.

Based on the 12 months between 9 August 2007 and 12 August 2008, the LG ICC Awards 2008 - presented in association with FICA - will take into account performances by players and officials in a remarkable period for the game. That period includes the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 2007 in South Africa.

England vs South Africa, 3rd ODI Highlights

South Africa in England, 2008, NatWest Series
England vs South Africa, 3rd ODI; Highlights
The Oval, London, August 29, 2008
Another clinical performance by the Englishmen. They lost the toss today and had to bat. The openers gave them a great start and they finished brilliantly despite a bit of a wobble in the middle overs. Flintoff played a fine knock and was well supported by Samit Patel who rounded off his cameo with a five wicket haul. The two remaining games are now dead but South Africa will like to come up with something good to end the tour.
England win by 126 runs and win the Natwest series 3-0 with 2 games to spare

Samit Patel is the Man of the Match for his all round performance. He scored 31 runs and picked up 5 for 41 to become the first England spinner in 7 years to take a five wicket haul in ODIs.

India Vs Sri Lanka 5th ODI Highlights Video, Idea Cup

Idea Cup, 2008; Sri Lanka vs India,
5th ODI Highlights; R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, August 29, 2008
This has been an amazing tour which has witnessed some high quality cricket. After being trampled in the Test series, the Indians came back strongly with their young brigade putting up a brilliant show. It was the Mendis and Murali show in the Tests and surprisingly enough, they failed to perform in the one-dayers. Young India played them a lot better and hence the positive result. Mahendra Singh Dhoni led his side from the front with a few good knocks, Suresh Raina glittered with the bat and young Kohli showed a lot of promise about him as well. Zaheer Khan is back to his best too by performing like a real spearhead for his side. For the Sri Lankans, it was Kulasekara, Thushara, Mendis and the skipper himself who performed very well. Despite these efforts, it was India who walked away with the Idea Cup.

Result Sri Lanka won by 112 runs (D/L method)

Nuwan Kulasekara is the Man of the Match for his outstanding spell of 4 for 40 from 9 overs.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the Man of the series for his consistent run with the bat. He stacked up a brilliant 193 runs from the 5 games.

Trent Bridge, Nottingham, August 26, 2008

This was all England barring the toss and England will feel it was a good toss to lose. Broad produced an amazing spell to demolish South Africa completely. Then the two openers came out and finished the job without any hiccups whatsoever. A score of 83 was never going to be any problem without early wickets and that didn't happen for South Africa.

Stuart Broad is the Man of the Match for his career best figures of 5/23 in 10 overs during which he ripped through the South African top order and gave England an unassailable advantage.

England win by 10 wickets and lead the series 2-0
