Watch: Premier League Footballer Turns Into Pacer, Fans Ask, 'Free For Lord's?'

Last Updated: Newcastle's Sean Longstaff went viral for his fast-bowling at Tynemouth Cricket Club, taking a wicket LBW and helping TCC win. Fans joked about an England call-up. Newcastle United FC mid-fielder Sean Longstaff has gone viral on social media — not for his footballing skills but fast-bowling. Playing for Tynemouth Cricket Club (TCC), he was recorded bowling right-arm medium-pace for their first 11 against Felling CC – 1st XI in the Premier Division on Saturday, July 5. Donning the whites, he got a batter out LBW in front. It was plumb and the umpire took no time to raise his finger, kicking off the celebrations in the bowling camp. TCC went on to win the match comfortably. They had scored 210 in the first innings and Felling CC were bowled out for just 71. Watch a couple of videos of his wickets here: Sean Longstaff among the wickets for @TynemouthCC against @FellingCC. #NUFC — Matty Hewitt (@MattyJHewitt) July 5, 2025 Unreal!Newcastle player Sean Longstaff taking a wicket today for Tynemouth CC ☝️ — Cricket Shouts 🏏 (@crickshouts) July 5, 2025 Longstaff is listed as a bowler on the TCC website, which says that he has made four appearances for the first 11 this season. These posts on X (formerly Twitter) drew some interesting reactions from the fans, with some urging, jokingly, of a possible national call-up. England are struggling in the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, with their young-looking bowling attack not being able to match the Indians on a flat Edgbaston track.

Deepika's Goal Against Netherlands Nominated For Poligras Magic Skill Award

Last Updated: Indian women's hockey forward Deepika has been nominated for the Poligras Magic Skill Award for her solo field goal against the Netherlands in the 2024-25 FIH Hockey Pro League. Indian women's hockey team forward Deepika has been nominated for the Poligras Magic Skill Award for her remarkable solo field goal against world No.1, the Netherlands, during the 2024-25 FIH Hockey Pro League season. The nominations for the Poligras Magic Skill Award for the 2024-25 FIH Hockey Pro League season were released on Friday, with the voting deadline set for July 14 at 3:29 AM IST. The winner will be determined by hockey fans worldwide, who will vote for the best moment and goal of the season. Deepika's iconic moment occurred in February 2025 during the Bhubaneswar leg of the Pro League when India defeated the Netherlands in a shootout following a 2-2 draw at the Kalinga Stadium. In the 35th minute, Deepika scored an exceptional field goal while India was trailing by two goals. Deepika brilliantly dribbled down the left flank, bypassed the Netherlands' defence, approached the baseline, lifted the ball over a defender's stick, and completed the move with a superb strike past the keeper into the net. 'That goal against the Netherlands is one of the most special moments of my career. Everything just clicked and it helped us equalise and win the game in shootout. I'm honoured to be nominated for the Poligras Magic Skill Award and grateful for the support of our fans. Moments like these are what we train so hard for. Your votes and support motivates me to keep pushing my limits and give it my all for India. I also want to thank my coaches, the support staff, and most importantly, my teammates for their constant encouragement and belief in me," the 21-year-old prolific attacker said. Spaniard Patricia Alvarez's incredible 3D skills and goal against Australia made the list. Patricia displayed brilliant technique to win, juggle the ball with her stick over the rushing goalkeeper, and score. The third nomination is for Australia's magnificent team goal against England. The Hockeyroos executed a brilliant sequence with five passes in the opposing half, culminating in a strike into the goal. First Published: July 06, 2025, 15:56 IST

Wimbledon: All the early upsets could stem from a lack of experience on grass courts

LONDON (AP) — Successful as Novak Djokovic has been on the grass courts of Wimbledon — he's won 100 matches and seven of his 24 Grand Slam trophies there — it's not as if he grew up plying his talents on the surface. Indeed, he never competed or even practiced on it at all until 2005, when he entered the qualifying event held at the nearby Roehampton facility and won three matches there to earn the right to make his debut at the All England Club at age 18. 'That was actually the first year I stepped out on the grass,' said Djokovic, who will play 11th-seeded Alex de Minaur on Monday for a quarterfinal berth at the Grand Slam tournament. 'I must say that it felt very natural for me to adapt to it, even though I grew up on clay.' That's a common refrain among today's pros, and the lack of familiarity with, and comfort on, grass could be one of the reasons for all of the upsets in the early going at Wimbledon. The eight total top-10 seeds — four women, four men — who lost in the first round were the most at any major since they began seeding 32 in brackets in 2001. 'Grass,' 2022 champion Elena Rybakina said after her third-round exit Saturday, 'is very unpredictable.' With her departure, and defending champ Barbora Krejcikova's loss to Emma Navarro a few hours later, there is guaranteed to be yet another first-time women's title winner this year at the All England Club. Whoever takes home the trophy on July 12 will be the ninth woman to do so in the event's past nine editions. Plenty of top players learned to play tennis on hard courts, especially in North America, or clay courts, especially in Europe and Latin America. Grass? Not so much, except for those from England or Australia. It's an acquired taste and skill, and it doesn't help anyone that the portion of the season spent on the turf is so abbreviated. 'Usually when I was on grass,' joked Eva Lys, a 23-year-old German who reached the second round at Wimbledon, 'it was when I was tanning.' There are more than 35 hard-court tournaments listed on the 2025 WTA calendar, 11 held on clay and seven on grass, which is used from June 9 through Wimbledon. 'It's not just that we only play on grass for about a month,' said Lorenzo Musetti, a semifinalist at the All England Club a year ago and a first-round loser as the No. 7 seed this time. 'It's a surface that requires a lot of adapting. You have to go by feeling.' There isn't much of a chance to get used to the slippery footing, needing to bend one's knees to reach shots that skid more than bounce, or dealing with the inconsistent ways balls move. 'Everything is so different about it,' said Tommy Paul, the 13th-seeded American who bowed out in the second round after coming down awkwardly on his foot during a point. Growing up in North Carolina, Paul picked up a racket at age 7 and his first surface was green clay. It wasn't until he was 15 or 16 that he first tried hitting on grass, at a junior event at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. 'I was probably diving all over the court when I didn't need to. I've always said it's the most fun surface to play on,' Paul said. 'I like the disorder about it." His grass debut arrived earlier than for many who reach the sport's top levels. Like Djokovic, most never set foot on on the stuff until they're about 17 or 18 and heading to England (unlike Djokovic, usually for Wimbledon's junior tournament). Some have one rough encounter that sticks with them. Naomi Osaka, a former No. 1 and four-time Grand Slam champion on the hard courts of the U.S. Open and Australian Open, slipped and hurt her knee nearly a decade ago on grass and that created fear, she said. She has never been past the third round at Wimbledon. Iga Swiatek, another former No. 1 and the owner of five major trophies earned elsewhere, did win a junior Wimbledon title, but it's her least-successful Slam as a pro. She will try to equal her run by getting to the quarterfinals with a victory against No. 23 Clara Tauson on Monday. 'This year on grass, I had some moments where I just felt comfortable and I didn't have to think much,' Swiatek said. 'It was just pretty smooth.'
