By co-incidence, all against England.

It's time to stop referring to LIV Golf as the rebel tour.

My take for @wwos on the war that's split golf. #PGATour #LIVGolf #FedExCup

This paints a pretty grim picture for the future of Test cricket. The IPL is starting to gobble everything up. Great piece by ⁦@brett_graham⁩ https://t.co/SGZAxOCzsU

Mark Taylor on why the one-day retirement of Ben Stokes is a worry.

"The writing is on the wall for a lot of cricketers."

EXCLUSIVE: Steve O'Keefe has shelved retirement plans, will play for @SixersBBL in #BBL12

"I've gone from being really pessimistic about things at the end of last season, to really excited at the prospect of going round again."

This weekend marks 40 years since the death of Gilles Villeneuve. I caught up with Mark Webber for @wwos to try and make sense of what happened.

Jochen Rindt, the only posthumous @F1 world champion, was born 80 years ago today.

Two years ago I spoke to Jackie Stewart for @wwos about Rindt's legacy.

@michaelkholden Hi Michael - they were level on points but Max was in front on countback (more race wins). If neither had finished Max was champion. I agree correct rules weren't followed. Cheers.

[Brett Graham @brett_graham]

@malcolmconn @RicFinlay Interesting that Australia played five quicks given the ground's reputation at the time. Holland and Bennett took 15 wickets in the Test four weeks earlier.
