Anderson replaces Stokes as England vice-captain

-


ADELAIDE: England´s record bowler James Anderson was named as vice-captain for the Ashes series against Australia on Friday, replacing Ben Stokes who is suspended and under investigation over a nightclub brawl.
Anderson, 35, who has 506 Test wickets, was promoted as understudy to captain Joe Root ahead of fellow paceman Stuart Broad and ex-skipper Alastair Cook.
Coach Trevor Bayliss previously said he was planning for an Ashes series without Stokes, who is running out of time ahead of the first Test in Brisbane from November 23.
Stokes remains at home awaiting the outcome of a police probe into his involvement in the brawl outside a Bristol nightclub on September 25.

Lancashire bowling great Anderson is embarking on his fourth Test tour of Australia, and he looks likely to play a key role as England´s bowlers hit injury problems.
Nottinghamshire speedster Jake Ball is to have a scan after he injured his right ankle on Thursday during England´s warm-up game against a Cricket Australia XI in Adelaide.
It follows a knee injury which ruled paceman Steven Finn out of the tour.
Surrey all-rounder Tom Curran has arrived as Finn´s tour replacement, while all-rounder Moeen Ali continues to recover from a side strain.

World Cup 2018: Italy and the nightmare of their play-off against Sweden

-

Six decades ago, a 2-1 defeat by Northern Ireland in Belfast meant the Azzurri stayed at home and had to listen to the tournament on the radio. It's why nobody in Italy wanted Michael O'Neill's side in the play-offs. Too many ghosts from the past. In the end, the name pulled out of the hat was still inauspicious. Sweden hosted the World Cup in 1958. The only edition of the competition Italy have missed. "We are not taking into consideration the idea of not going to the World Cup," says coach Giampiero Ventura. He's 69 - old enough to remember the time Italy lost in Belfast and does not want to go down in history with Alfredo Foni as the only manager ever to fail to qualify them for a major tournament. It is something Ventura would not be able to live down and would likely end his brief spell in charge of Italy. Especially with  former Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti  available.                                                         click
