UR TV CAST

All Australia thought it was a glove and the umpire agreed, though TV replays did not concur.Mark Ramprakash helped to keep Butcher on course though, when Ramprakash was out, caught by Mark Waugh at slip for 32, Butcher unleashed a barrage of boundaries, first driving then cutting Gillespie for two fours and a six. When Usman Afzaal weighed in with a cut for four of his own, Australia knew the game, and their own dreams of a whitewash, were up.HEADINGLEY SCOREBOARDAustralia won tossAUSTRALIA – First Innings 447 (R T Ponting 144, M E Waugh 72, D R Martyn 118; D Gough 5-103).ENGLAND – First Innings 309 (A J Stewart 76no; G D McGrath 7-76).AUSTRALIA – Second Innings 182 for 4 dec (R T Ponting 72).ENGLAND – Second Innings (Overnight: 4 for 0)M A Atherton c Gilchrist b McGrath 8 M E Trescothick c Hayden b Gillespie 10 M A Butcher not out 173 N Hussain c Gilchrist b Gillespie 55 M R Ramprakash c M Waugh b Warne 32 Usman Afzaal not out 4 Extras (b14 lb16 nb3) 33 Total (for 4, 329 min, 73.2 overs) 315Fall: 1-8 (Atherton) 2-33 (Trescothick) 3-214 (Hussain) 4-289 (Ramprakash).Bowling: McGrath 16-3-61-1 (8-2-24-1, 5-0-28-0, 3-1-9-0); Gillespie 22-4-94-2 (nb1) (7-2-27-1, 3-0-11-0, 6-1-14-1, 3-1-9-0, 3-0-33-0); Warne 18.2-3-58-1 (11-2-32-0, 4-1-12-0, 3.2-0-14-1); Lee 16-4-65-0 (nb2) (4-1-18-0, 12-3-47-0); M Waugh 1-0-7-0.Progress: Fourth day: Innings began at 5.49pm.

After the Mohican haircut, the tattoo of inaccurate Hindi, the searching portraiture while fake blood dripped down his head, David Beckham now gives us the half-shaved eyebrow. There really seems no limit to the superstar soppiness, but then it is certainly not his fault that every adolescent initiative is seized upon so hungrily. After the Mohican haircut, the tattoo of inaccurate Hindi, the searching portraiture while fake blood dripped down his head, David Beckham now gives us the half-shaved eyebrow. There really seems no limit to the superstar soppiness, but then it is certainly not his fault that every adolescent initiative is seized upon so hungrily.
The latest development, however, is not without a touch of irony. It reminds us that the eyebrow has purposes beyond mere vanity. One of them is to keep the sweat out of your eye.Judging by his lame performance against the Dutch the other day, Beckham might have gone the whole hog without risking impaired vision.After scoring from a beautifully struck free-kick against Fulham on Sunday, Beckham was naturally adorning most of the back pages again yesterday morning. It did not matter that United struggled desperately at times to subdue the most promising of Premiership new boys, a fact which had nothing to do with the length of anyone’s eyebrows.

It was about the absence of Roy Keane, a man who definitely needs all the sweat protection nature has given him.. While Bolton Wanderers fans were still celebrating last weekend’s 5-0 victory at Leicester, the club’s manager Sam Allardyce was busy persuading the French defender Sylvain Distin to join the Trotters, a signing he hopes to complete this week for a club-record £4m. While Bolton Wanderers fans were still celebrating last weekend’s 5-0 victory at Leicester, the club’s manager Sam Allardyce was busy persuading the French defender Sylvain Distin to join the Trotters, a signing he hopes to complete this week for a club-record £4m.
Allardyce agreed a fee with Paris St-Germain for the powerful defender and Distin, who has also attracted interest from Newcastle United, visited the Reebok stadium with his agent to discuss terms on Sunday.Allardyce is confident that Bolton’s remarkable start to the season and the superb facilities at their ground will persuade Distin to join, but the Frenchman may prefer to join his friend Laurent Robert at St James’ Park. However, Newcastle want to agree a season-long loan while PSG would rather have the cash from a sale.The Bolton manager is annoyed that his team did not receive the praise they deserved for thrashing Leicester.
