5-match Test Series in an away Tour is always a demanding task, one that will test the players physically. Even the slightest of vulnerabilities will be exposed against a top quality side. The margin for error is very minute and players should make the most of every opportunity that comes their way to represent their team in Test Cricket - the real test of skill, endurance, and ability. In the Test series against England, here are 5 players who have a big chance to prove themselves in Test Cricket....

The quality of opposition has played an important role in the former striker claiming five wins from his opening five games, but in equal measure, he has changed the mood around Old Trafford with optimism and belief that appeared to be long lost under predecessor Jose Mourinho. There is irony in the fact that Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino remains a leading candidate should the Manchester United board decide to look beyond Solskjaer for a permanent boss in the summer, but the popular Norwegian is currently in position, and will not let go without a fight....

The likes of Mario Gotze, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels all left for bigger clubs, in fact, all left for Bayern Munich while the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Nuri Sahin, Shinji Kagawa moved to foreign leagues. During Marco Reus’ constant struggles with injuries in recent seasons, Aubameyang had become the darling of the fans but they have to start preparing for a heartbreak in the summer if reports are believed to be true....

O’Neill most recently defeated former title-challenger Roxanne Modafferi by split-decision to remain unbeaten. It was a significant bout as ‘The Happy Warrior’ announced that she’d be retiring following the fight. It was a high-profile win considering Modafferi is a pioneer of the sport, so there was a lot to gain for O’Neill. There are now plenty of exciting options for ‘King’ Casey going forward. Now that she’s the No.12-ranked flyweight, it’ll be interesting to see who the promotion matches her up with next....

As highlighted in his recent ‘365’ documentary on the WWE Network, Owens has had a difficult few months since his match with Y2J, which was criticised by Vince McMahon, and he was recently sent home from WWE’s European tour for disciplinary reasons. With WrestleMania 34 (aka KO-Mania 3) a few months away, we take an early look at five possible matches that the former Universal champion could have in New Orleans next year....

Every year since 2012, the main-event has seen one part-timer facing off against a full-time superstar. However, there is a major possibility of that streak ending this time around. Several superstars from this era, including the likes of Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, and Braun Strowman will feel that its their opportunity to shine. WWE has failed to create mega superstars in recent times, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so....

I pick the women likeliest to win the historic match in this article. Not only will this be based on betting odds, but also upon who stands to gain the most from cashing in. This article explores the potential and possibilities. However, at the end of the day, this is all just pure speculation.

In all of the hype and the hoopla surrounding the event, one may tend to forget the ladder match between Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens, part of a rivalry that has been brewing for a long time. These are two men not afraid to take risks, so this match could potentially steal the whole show. Remember that careers are on the line in this very match. So, how could this clash potentially conclude on the debut of WWE SmackDown on FOX?...

Football, ‘The Beautiful Game,’ as we’ve known it, is budging more and more towards becoming an attacking game with each passing day with managers devising innovative strategies to put pressure on the opposition’s defense, especially the goalie. So, it is easy to conclude that the most difficult task in the modern fast-paced and aggressive era of football is to keep a clean sheet. They say scoring goals wins you games....

Given how the country is so dependent on football, there are thousands of young footballers who enter the professional scene every year and only some of them get to share the limelight with players like the ones mentioned above.

The ones who could get into the national team more often but fail to do so because they either don’t play for a club that is glamorous or don’t do the kind of stuff that’s often caught on camera....

Brock Lesnar isn’t the only Paul Heyman Guy, he’s just currently the only one on TV. Paul has managed a murders’ row of pro wrestlers, some of them pretty gosh darned famous. Not only is he the rudder of The Beast’s chaos, he was CM Punk’s right-hand man, an accomplice of The Big Show, and an early advocate for Steve Austin. He introduced fans to Sabu (sort of) and built up Tazz and Rob Van Dam into the stars they became....

Unsurprisingly, with the game’s popularity, there are numerous stars who bring people on the same page as well as divide opinion. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the best footballers of this generation while also competing in a short list to be crowned the best ever to step onto a football field. Additionally, the likes of Hazard, Salah, Neymar and Modric have also become household names over the past few years....

However, every good guy or good team should I say, needs an adversary, an arch-nemesis someone to play off against. Batman has the Joke, Spider-Man has the Green Goblin and The Shield… Well, The Shield actually has quite a few bad guys. So, let’s take a look at five of the Shield’s greatest enemies, the WWE Superstars who have given ‘The Hounds of Justice’ a truly worthy adversary! #5. The Wyatt Family The Shield vs The Wyatt Family will go down as one of the greatest and biggest tag-team feuds in modern WWE history with both teams being incredibly over at the time....

I dove into strong coffee brands like Gunpowder Coffee, Fire Dept. Coffee and Cannonball Coffee to get a taste for how strong they actually are. In most cases, these coffees do provide an intense wake-up or burst of energy. To get that pulsing energy, you sometimes have to sacrifice taste. Occasionally, it was less than ideal with these tastings, though none were bad. The goal here for most people though is alertness, and I definitely felt awake and ready to go after drinking these coffees....

However, almost two years later, WWE has reconsidered their decision as Daniel Bryan is now medically cleared to return to the wrestling ring. That raises an important question, which Superstar would step into the ring with ’the goat’ in 2018? #1 AJ Styles When compiling a list of dream matches left in the WWE, AJ Styles’ name is always brought into that discussion, as he is a Superstar that has performed outstandingly in any match against any opponent....

The reign of patch 7.29 has been dynamic and long. It has gone through several meta evolutions, thanks to the shifting tides in two Dota 2 Majors as well as the two qualifiers. The overwhelming stance of the Dota 2 community seems to be that the meta has become stale. At any rate, Valve recently announced in a blog post that the Battle Pass and Nemestice mode will end on August 18....

Transfer Deadline Day is the final day of each of those windows, with clubs often frantically running around to get a deal finalised before the transfer window slams shut. Because let’s face it, transfer windows don’t just close quietly; no, they have to slam shut as agents, players and clubs desperately look to get deals signed off in the nick of time. Right now, the English transfer window is edging ever closer, with any and all deals needed to be completed by 11 pm BST on January 31st....

The Sixers have been in ‘The Process’ stage for a while now. If they do not make an impressive presence in the postseason, fans will be disappointed. Philadelphia has made several changes already this season, but the franchise are not done yet. With a new head coach, they could also be looking for new faces on the floor. 5 players the Philadelphia 76ers could target before the NBA trade deadline The NBA trade deadline was moved back temporarily for this season....

This year, however, could change the fortunes of the team. With major re-shuffling of teams, RCB should look to retain their stars and acquire some good fresh players to fuel them. Teams can retain five players, subject to a maximum of three capped Indian players, a maximum of two overseas players and a maximum of two uncapped Indian players. Here are five players I feel the Royal Challengers should retain....
