Former MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden breaks ribs in training crash

2011-12-30T08:42:00.000+03:00

Former MotoGP world champion Nicky Hayden has broken two ribs and a shoulder blade during a training accident in Kentucky.

The American suffered the injuries near his home in Owensboro and has since had x-rays, a CAT scan and an MRI.

Ducati confirmed that no surgery has been scheduled but that the 30-year-old rider would have the fractures assessed in California next week.

"Injuries are never good but it's part of motorcycle racing," Hayden said.

"I was starting to train again, like I normally do during the winter, at a private track near my house. I came up behind another rider, and he went to move out of the way.

"I wasn't going that fast, but he clipped my front wheel and I went down and landed pretty hard on my left shoulder, and that was it."

Hayden, who became MotoGP world champion in 2006, had been training for the first time since breaking his wrist during the Valencia Grand Prix in November.

The first race of the new season will take place at the desert circuit of Losail in Qatar on 8 April 2012.

Sri Lanka record first away win against South Africa

2011-12-30T08:33:00.001+03:00

Sri Lanka 338 & 279 beat South Africa 168 and 241 by 208 runs

Sri Lanka ended a run of 15 Tests without a victory to claim their first ever win in South Africa by 208 runs at the second Test in Durban.

Rangana Herath took 5-79 as Sri Lanka recorded their first Test win in nearly 18 months and their first since the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan.

Set 450 to win, the hosts were all out for 241, with only AB de Villiers (69) and Dale Steyn (43) putting up a fight.

The series is level with the final Test in Cape Town starting on 3 January.

Sri Lanka began the day on 256-7 but were dismissed for 279 with Steyn claiming figures of 5-73.

Chanaka Welegedara almost gave the tourists the perfect start when Jacques Rudolph edged to Angelo Mathews but he couldn't hold on to a one-handed catch.

Sri Lanka had avoided defeat in only one of its eight previous Tests in South Africa - a draw in December 2000.

South Africa started their mammoth task positively, with captain Graeme Smith the only man to fall before lunch, edging Dilshan Fernando's short delivery to Mahela Jayawardene at second slip for 26.

But the afternoon session saw five wickets fall for 45 runs in 23 overs.

Within four balls of the resumption after tea, Rudolph was out for 22 and Jacques Kallis followed 19 balls later for a duck.

With the score on 133-6 after losing Prince and Mark Boucher, De Villiers and Steyn dug in for more than 34 overs, putting together a partnership of 99.

De Villiers was finally trapped lbw for a 141-ball 69 by Herath before Sri Lanka dusted off the final three wickets in the space of four balls.

2011-12-29T20:04:00.004+03:00

Hatimaye Arsenal imefanikisha kupata nafasi nyingine ya kumsainisha Thierry Henry mkataba wa kurejea katika klabu hiyo kwa mkataba wa miezi miwili.

Arsene Wenger alikuwa katika kigagaziko kwa muda kiasi cha kama amrejeshe mfungaji wake wa kihistoria katika klabu hiyo kukipa nguvu kikosi chake ili kumaliza ligi wakiwa katika moja ya nafasi nne za juu ya ligi ya nchini Uingereza.

Baada ya hayo sasa kutimia wamesikika wachezaji wa Arsenal wakisema

Welcome back: Alex Song na Robin van Persie wakimfuraia Thierry Henry

Ni kipindi ambacho kilikuwa kigumu kwa mzee wenger kufuatia Gervinho na Marouane Chamakh kuwa safarini barani Afrika katika fainali ya mataifa ya Afrika mwezi ujao

Robin van Persie anahitaji usaidizi katika sehemu ya ufungaji.

Wenger ameamua kutoa offer hiyo baada ya mshambuliaji huyo mwenye miaka 34 kurejea mapumziko nchini Mexico juma hili.

Henry ana mkataba wenye thamani ya dola za kimarekani milioni $4.5million sawa na pauni milioni £2.9m na klabu yake ya sasa ya New York Red Bulls lakini amekuwa katika mazoezi na klabu yake ya zamani Arsenal katika kipindi hiki ambapo MLS imemalizika na hatarejea nchini Marekani mpaka mwezi March.

Katika kipindi chote cha uwepo wake Arsenal ataitumikia jumla ya michezo saba ya ligi kuu pamoja na michezo ya FA Cup ukiwemo mchezo wa kwanza ligi ya mabingwa dhidi ya AC Milan hatua ya robo fainali.

Lakini hata hivyo msaada wake zaidi unahitajika katika Premier League ambako Wenger anahitaji msaada zaidi hususani katika michezo migumu dhidi ya Manchester United na Tottenham inayokuja.

Nahodha huyo wa zamani wa Arsenal aliifungia klabu jumla ya magoli 226 ambayo ni rekodi ya klabu hiyo kati ya miaka ya 1999 na 2007.

Kurejea kwake kunaamsha ari ya mashabiki wa klabu hiyo baaba ya kipindi cha kiangazi kuwapoteza akina Cesc Fabregas, Gael Clichy na Samir Nasri.

"ninafuatilia ligi ya Ureno lakini nadhani ligi ya uingereza ambako nimepata vitu vya msingi katika soka sheria za soka hususani nidhamu. Lakini ligi ya Hispania ni ya kipekee.inaweka heshima na kuleta ufundi zaidi.

"naamini La Liga ndiyo ligi bora duniani licha ya kuwepo Ungereza kwa miaka sita.ligi zote mbili ni tofauti katika kiwango cha kiufundi".

Ronaldo pia ametumia nafasi hiyo ya mkutano huo mkubwa kukanusha tetesi za kutaka kuhama Real Madrid msimu ujao na kusisitiza kuwa ana furaha kuendelea kusalia kama sehemu ya kikosi cha Jose Mourinho katika siku za usoni.

"mimi ni mchezaji na wachezaji wanaweza kuzoea ligi yoyote.naweza kucheza nchi yoyote. Lakini leo ninafuraha nikiwa na Real na nitakuwepo hapo baadaye.

Giggs: uzoefu utatusaidia

2011-12-29T19:51:00.000+03:00

Ryan Giggs anaamini kuwa uzoefu mkubwa wa Manchester United unaweza kuwa ni kigezo cha kuamua kuukimbiza ubingwa wa Premier League msimu huu.

United inafanana kipoints na Manchester City na wanashindwa na wapinzani wao idadi ya magoli.

Hata hivyo Blues kwa maana ya City wanaonekana kucheza michezo mingi na vigogo ama timu sita za juu ikiwa ugenini ikilinganishwa na Red Devils Man united ambayo imecheza michezo mingi Old Trafford,ukiachana na mchezo dhidi ya Liverpool, na ule wa dhahama ya mabao 6-1 toka kwa Man City mwezi October.

Bado Giggs anadhani nafasi yao ya kutengeneza rekodi nyingine ya kutwaa taji hilo kwa mara ya 13 mwezi May itategemea ni timu gani akili inafanya kazi zaidi katika mbio hizi lakini anadhani United ipo katika jaribio hilo.

Anasema Mertesacker

"Henry anamauzoefu sana na amekuwa ni mtu mwenye fursa kubwa kwetu lakini mimi si meneja na sijui nini kinawezekana kwake au kwetu"

Mertesacker anaendelea kwa kusema

"katika mazoezi , Henry anaonyesha daraja lake la soka na ni mzuri ni bora kuwa naye. Bado yuko na mwenendo ule ule alionyesha katika michezo mingi ya Arsenal."

Mertesacker mwenye umri wa miaka 27 alijiunga na Arsenal kiangazi na sasa amejiimarisha katika Premier League. Anadhani Podolski mwenye umri wa miaka 26 ana weza kuleta hali hiyo hiyo.

"kwakweli nimeongea naye kwenye simu ana nguvu mchezaji mkubwa hususani katika timu ya taifa" Mertesacker akimzungumzia Podolski. Mguu wake wa kushoto huwezi kuamini na mimi ni shabiki wake , ligi ya Premier League ina tofauti kidogo na Bundesliga, lakini anaweza kufanya kila kitu."

It's taken 25 years but Reid and Maradona finally make up over 'Hand of God'

2011-12-16T19:14:00.003+03:00

Former England midfielder Peter Reid had said he would never forgive Diego Maradona for the ‘Hand of God’ goal which helped knock England out of the 1986 World Cup finals.

But when Reid bumped into Maradona while filming at the Argentina legend’s new club in Dubai, they literally kissed and made up.

Reid is filmed laughing and joking with Maradona, whose two goals put Sir Bobby Robson’s England side out of the quarter-finals in Mexico.

Making up: Peter Reid and Maradona call a truce after the Hand of God in 1986

The former Everton star was one of several players left trailing in the wake of Maradona when he scored his superb second goal and during their exchange Reid jokes that he wants to see his face because he only saw his back in Mexico.

The footage from Abu Dhabi Sports TV shows Reid embracing the Argentine and then, when Maradona’s left hand is around his shoulder, he gives it a quick kiss.

Reid told Sportsmail: ‘It was good to see him and we had a bit of light-hearted banter and a good laugh. I think I look in better shape than he does now anyway!

‘I told him the only mistake I made in my playing career was not catching him and kicking him and I still think that. We had a nice chat and I finished by telling him, through the interpreter, that he still handballed it. And he seemed to accept that.’

Controversy: Maradona handles the ball past Peter Shilton in the quarter final
