There will be examples of brilliant batting and lethal bowling, but just as entertaining will be the odd moment of madness, when things don’t go as planned. To prove it, here are the 10 funniest ever TV cricket moments. 10) Zach Galifianakis is a cricket fan So does the plot of The Hangover 2 feature the gang attending a cricket match between Australia and Pakistan? 9) Mystery sniper takes out batsman A simple hamstring injury – or has this batsman just been shot in the back of the leg? The worst run out attempt of all time Just how much nearer did Murali Khartik need to be? 7) Leg onto wicket Even with pads on this batsman seems terrified of being hit by Michael Holden’s delivery. 6) Good job it wasn’t Beefy One former England captain struggles to retain his composure, as another former England captain sits on his foot with a chair. 5) Caught with your pants down If you lose your trousers, as Lou Vincent does in this clip, then it’s a good idea to keep your eye on the ball. 4) The best six of all time Alan Border hits the type of six that you normally only see if the game’s being played with a tennis ball and the bowler is delivering underarm. 3) Anything you can do… The Australian crowd decide to mimic every movement made by England’s Ronnie Irani. Whether this extended to the whole crowd later pretending to get bowled out pretty cheaply, is not known. 2) Dick Dastardly should hire Jacques Rudolph If Jacques Rudolph tried another 1000 times, he probably wouldn’t have been able to hit a mid-flight pigeon with a cricket ball. Unfortunately for the pigeon, Rudolph unwittingly succeeded at his first attempt. 1) Flight of the drunken Kiwi A rather drunk New Zealand cricket fan takes a tumble and suffers the ignominy of David Gower giving a play-by-play commentary on his fall. At least he doesn’t spill any.

The 20-year-old Dane was able to see off her opponent in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, without having hit top gear in Melbourne. Wozniacki will now meet Francesca Schiavone in the last eight after the Italian beat Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia 6-4, 1-6, 16-14, in an epic encounter which lasted almost five hours. Meanwhile, 2008 winner Maria Sharapova crashed out Down Under after losing to Germany’s Andrea Petkovic in straight sets. Sharapova, the 14th seed, hit 30 unforced errors on her way to defeat as 33rd seed Petkovic sealed her last eight place in 79 minutes. In sealing her progression, Petkovic became the first German to reach the quarter-finals of the Australian Open since Steffi Graf in 1999. Liverpool target Luis Suárez wants Premier League switch Posted: 23 Jan 2011 10:47 AM PST Liverpool target Luis Suárez is confident he can impress in the Premier League should he seal a move to England. The Ajax forward has been heavily linked with a move to Merseyside with Liverpool believed to have already made an offer for the Uruguayan. The Reds are however yet to reach the Dutch club’s valuation of their prized asset, which is believed to be in the region of £20m. Suárez, 23, is convinced he would be able to swiftly adapt to the physical style of English football like fellow South American Carlos Tévez. “[England] is a league that attracts me, a country where the football is really good,” Suarez told the Sunday Times. “Alongside the Spanish league it is the best in the world. In England you have a lot of clubs with aspirations to become champions and they are also very strong in the Champions League at the European level. “I used to think that English football was not my style. But I saw Tévez play at Boca and Corinthians and I never imagined that he would play in the Premier League. The Dutch footballer of the Year added: “When I see the way that Tévez plays there I think I can be a big name in England. It’s because of the energy, and the spirit they put into the game in England. Now, I think it’s a kind of football that suits me.” The Ajax captain has an impressive return of 110 goals in just 154 appearances for the Dutch club. Suárez hit the headlines in November when he was banned for 10 games by the Dutch FA for biting an opponent. And it was not the first time Suárez has become embroiled in controversy after the forward deliberately handled the ball on the goal line to stop Ghana scoring the winner in the dying seconds of Uruguay's World Cup quarter-final against the African nation last summer. Although Ghana were awarded a spot-kick and Suárez sent off, Asamoah Gyan missed the resulting penalty and the South American nation progressed to the semi-finals after emerging victorious from the subsequent shoot-out. Manchester City chasing Romelu Lukaku, claims agent Posted: 23 Jan 2011 10:34 AM PST Manchester City are keen on signing highly-rated striker Romelu Lukaku, the player’s agent has revealed. The 17-year-old Anderlecht forward, who has been compared to a young Didier Drogba, is seen as one of the most exciting prospects in Europe. The Belgian attacker has already made 76 appearances for Anderlecht with an impressive return of 33 goals. “There is no concrete offer or agreement,” Lukaku’s agent Christophe Henrotay told Belgian Sport magazine. “I have very good contacts with Manchester City, but they are only one of the clubs to ask about him. “City did ask me to be keep informed, if other clubs insisted on him. If someone leaves Manchester City, it is not impossible things could be accelerated – but you have seen the attackers there, but there is also the other clubs who are interested.” Lukaku received his first international call-up last year and the athletic striker has since been capped a further seven times. His speedy development has caught the eye of many of Europe’s top clubs with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham all monitoring the youngster. Lukaku is a self-confessed Chelsea supporter and idolises the Blues’ star forward Drogba, however he denies signing for the London side would be a preferred option. Arsenal and Chelsea have regularly scouted the 6ft 3″ forward since his youth days at Anderlecht. “Chelsea and Arsenal tried to sign me when I was 13, 14,” Lukaku said. “Chelsea is my favourite team. I have always said it and I have never hidden it. But it is not because Chelsea is my favourite team that I have to go there. “There is also Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. These big five are very interesting. Tottenham are also a good club.” Leonardo: Rafael Benítez not to blame for Inter’s poor start Posted: 23 Jan 2011 03:56 AM PST Inter Milan manager Leonardo insists sacked coach Rafael Benítez was not solely to blame for the club’s poor start to the season. Club president Massimo Moratti opted to end Benítez’s difficult spell in Milan despite the Spanish manager leading the club to the Fifa Club World Cup just days before his dismissal. Leonardo, 41, replaced Benítez at the San Siro in December and has since led the defending Italian champions to four successive victories. Inter are now six points behind Serie A leaders AC Milan with a game in hand, but Leonardo believes the club’s change in fortunes is not purely down to his arrival. “Nothing happens for one sole reason, it’s a series of things that either make you a zero or a hero,” Leonardo said. “It”s not a case of me arriving and everything goes well, but I’ve arrived, the players are coming back [from injury], there’s enthusiasm and there’s also the base work done by Rafael Benítez that has allowed the players to come back. “If there were many injuries under Benítez it could be that there were some misunderstandings, and that could happen with me too.” Inter forward Samuel Eto’o last week told the Italian press that the players should apologise to Benítez for under-performing during the 54-year-old’s time at the club. Leonardo refused to comment on the Cameroon international’s remarks but did offer his own defence of Benítez. “You can’t analyse one thing and say Benítez is to blame, Leo is the saviour, that would be too superficial,” said Leonardo. “Maybe now Benítez will go to another club, things will go well and he’ll win everything. “Here, things went a certain way, that’s life. So I think it’s absurd and embarrassing for the players to be commenting on what went before and what there is now, it’s not fair, leave them alone.” You are subscribed to email updates from The Sport Review To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now.
