Razaullah introduces himself as Pakistan thrive in chaos

-

Cancel the tee booked at the Belfry, rearrange the trip to Cadbury World and abort the shopping jolly to the Bullring. The reason? Pakistan debutant Razaullah and 'Razball'. England's bowlers were thwarted by a Pakistan side who mixed batting belligerence with brilliance and instead of a Saturday off must reconvene at Edgbaston for day four. The brilliance was provided by Razaullah, who produced a dizzying knock to breathe life into the third Test and lift the spirits of Pakistan supporters everywhere. A new hero, a new hope. Bazball might be on its way out, but has Birmingham might just witnessed the birth of new phenomenon during two hours of unbridled chaos during which he made a stunning 81 off 63 balls coming in at number nine. A raw 21-year-old with just eight first-class matches to his name, better known as a tearaway fast bowler reminiscent of Waqar Younis, was probably not a name on the radar of England's bowlers when he was called up amid wholesale changes mad...

"A few things had built up inside me" - Ermedin Demirovic makes admission after Stuttgart hat-trick Ermedin Demirovic admitted that “a few things had built up” inside him after producing a stunning first-half hat-trick in VfB Stuttgart’s Champions League opener against Viking FK. The Bosnia international struck three times in just 12 minutes as Sebastian Hoeness’ side secured a 3-1 victory at the MHPArena on Wednesday evening, with his goals arriving in the 20th, 26th and 32nd minutes It capped off an eventful few weeks for Demirovic, whose future had been the subject of considerable speculation towards the end of the summer transfer window. Galatasaray pushed to sign the 28-year-old and reportedly made an offer worth up to €20 million including bonuses, before Demirovic ultimately decided to remain in Stuttgart. Speaking to DAZN after being named Man of the Match against Viking, Demirovic was asked about pundit Nils Petersen’s suggestion that he often produces his best footb...

Napoli boss Allegri offers high praise of ‘extraordinary’ Arteta ahead of meeting with Arsenal Napoli boss Massimiliano Allegri believes Mikel Arteta has done an “extraordinary job” as Arsenal manager. After the devastation of losing out on penalties to PSG in last season’s final, the Gunners have an even stronger desire to win the competition for the first time in their history. Arteta will hope to get off to a winning start against Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Allegri praised what the Spanish coach has achieved so far with the north London club. “I think Arteta has done an extraordinary job in the last four years,” Allegri told the press. “He quickly brought a balance to the squad. They are very good on the ball, but just as good when they have to defend. He has instilled a great team mentality. “We know we are facing the Premier League champions and a team who reached the Champions League Final last season. “Every match starts at 0-0. It’s normal that Arsenal are ...

Do the New York Giants have a path to 8-plus wins in 2026?

-
Will the New York Giants exceed their over/under win total for next season? A panel of CBS Sports analysts issued a lean prediction that the Giants will finish over 7.5 wins in 2026, based on DraftKings Sportsbook’s over/under for the season. Lean: Over 7.5 (-110).  New York is a possible breakout team in 2026 with Jaxson Dart entering Year 2 and John Harbaugh now installed as head coach. Dart flashed his potential as a rookie (albeit with some reckless play as a runner), and if that can be honed in a bit under Harbaugh, there's a lot to like about the Giants. Malik Nabers is back as a true No. 1 weapon in the offense, and the defense boasts a slew of stud pass rushers, including Brian Burns. Their division isn't for the faint of heart, but they have the talent to put together eight wins.  The Giants do not have many favorable matchups. The Arizona Cardinals , New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are the only three teams New York can confidently be expected to beat. The T...

Rams Reacts: Aaron Donald’s return benefits young defensive line most

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JANUARY 14: Aaron Donald #99 of the Los Angeles Rams runs off the field during an NFC Wild Card Playoff football game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on January 14, 2024 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images) | Getty Images We asked and you answered! Los Angeles Rams fans expect Aaron Donald’s return to benefit young defensive lineman like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske more than any other aspect of the team. Despite everything being to be determined, the expectation going into 2026 is regardless of however many snaps Donald gives, he’ll excel as he always did. With AD getting spelled by Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and more, each player may be able to thrive off of the other. This defensive line unit should be an immensely talented and versatile group with little to no drop-off when players sub in and out for one another. That’s L.A.‘s hope. Consider that every player on the Rams once again gets to learn and see how Donald move...
