SYDNEY, Australia (CMC): West Indies head coach Phil Simmons is urging his players to “keep fighting” when the third and final Test against Australia enters its fourth day. The entire third day’s play was washed out Tuesday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, leaving West Indies on 248-7 in a match marred by inclement weather. Carlos Brathwaite’s entertaining 69 was the highlight of West Indies innings, which was affected by rain during the first two days, particularly the second day when only 68 balls were bowled. “I think we have seen, in the last three days of cricket (including in Melbourne in the second Test) we’ve had, we’ve improved, and our batting seems to be thinking about it more and fighting a little bit harder to not give the Aussies wickets,” Simmons told reporters. Brathwaite’s counterattacking 69, following his bold 59, has earned him a place in the record books as the second batsman in Test history to score half centuries in his first two matches batting at No. 8. The only other batsman to achieve the feat was Australian wicketkeeper Sammy Carter against England in 1907. “There is a lot of light (at the end of the tunnel) with the players and I think you can mention (Kraigg and Carlos Brathwaite) because they have got runs,” said Simmons. “The way how (Darren) Bravo has batted in all the Test matches. The way (Rajendra) Chandrika has looked. He hasn’t gone on to a big score but the way he looked early on.” Showers are also forecast for the fourth day, but officials are hoping the rain would not be significant enough to affect the chances of play. The weather forecast is for improved conditions, but there is still some rain in the atmosphere. “I think we need to see how much play we get tomorrow first,” he said. “One side is telling me there is showers again in the morning and now I’ve just heard there may be showers in the afternoon too, so we’ve just got to see what happens tomorrow, then we go from there.” read more

It was also United’s 13th defeat against a newly promoted side in the Premier League, their first since losing 5-3 to Leicester last season.They face a Norwich City side that held Everton to a 1-1 draw last Saturday, their fourth league game without a win and that saw them drop into the relegation zone.Norwich have lost on their last five league visits to Old Trafford. In a total of seven Premier League trips there they have lost six and drawn one. Overall, they have won just three times in 28 visits, while losing 19 and drawing six. They last won there in August 1989 in the old First Division. read more
CALABAR HIGH School will create sporting history in Jamaica this month as the defending Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) boys’ track and field champions will become the first high school in the country to have its own synthetic track.The six-lane 400-metre track will be officially opened on Friday, January 22, a day before the school hosts the McKenley/Wint Track and Field Classics.”Everything is near completion and we will be having the opening of the Calabar Sport Complex on Friday, January 22, and the Prime Minister, the Honourable Portia Simpson Miller, will do the official opening ceremony,” said Albert Corcho, the all-boy institution’s principal.He added: “The meet, which will be named the McKenley/Wint Classics, is in honour of two past students who have contributed significantly to track and field at both Calabar and the country, and because of their contributions we are honouring them.”Corcho stated that the new track will lift Calabar High’s sporting profile and attract more students to the institution.”This new sporting complex will definitely be a big advantage for Calabar, and already, I have been getting calls from overseas as people want to join this programme. It has also cut down on time and costing as the boys will not have to travel outside of the school to attend training as, usually, they do so after December.”The principal noted that use of the facility will be extended to other track athletes outside the school community.”Although the track will be at Calabar, this will not be for Calabar, only as we are thinking about the development of track and field in the country and people outside will be welcome here,” he said.The McKenley/Wint Classics will be one of seven development meets on the Jamaica Administrative Athletics Association calendar and it will be held on January 23. Events to be contested are the 100m, 400m and 1500m, along with sprint and intermediate hurdles. There will also be field events such as long jump, triple jump, high jump, shot put, discus and javelin. read more
Jamaican boxing star Nicholas ‘The Axeman’ Walters will climb into the ring at the Hotel Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas tonight, to challenge the brilliant Ukranian, Vasyl Lomachenko, for his World Boxing Organisation (WBO) Super Featherweight title (130 pounds) in what is expected to be a hard-fought and exciting encounter.Walters, with a 26-0-1 record with 21 knockouts, is going up against a boxing phenomenon who has a 6-1 record, with four knockouts, that includes two world titles. Unlike other fights in his career, Walters climbs into the ring as the underdog tonight, but this he says does not bother him. It will in fact be an incentive, he says.Walters was on the road to recognition as one of the boxing greats of this century, when a colossal blunder on his part saw him losing his World Boxing Association Featherweight Super title on the scales at Madison Square Garden, New York, USA. He was scheduled to defend his title against Miguel Marriaga on June 13 last year, but lost the title on the scales the day before, when he failed to make the 126-pound weight limit. The fight went on, and Walters won decisively, but the damage was done and he left the ring as the former champion.Since then, he has had one fight against Jason Sosa in the Super Featherweight division, and although most people thought that he clearly won that fight, it was called a draw.This has been the only blemish on his record, but he is still undefeated.SUPERB CAREERHis opponent tonight has caught the imagination of the boxing world in dramatic fashion. He had a superb amateur career, in which he won 396 fights and lost one. This included two gold medals each, in the Olympic Games and the World Boxing championships. He had five semi-pro victories in the AIBA World Series of Boxing, and turned pro on October 12, 2013. He fought for a world title in only his second professional fight and lost a bruising battle to Orlando Salido. In his next fight, he won the then vacant WBO Featherweight title by defeating American Gary Russell Jr. He gave up that title after defeating Roman Martinez by knockout, on June 11, to take the WBO Super Featherweight title, which he is defending tonight.Most people, it appears, believe that with his southpaw stance, terrific hand speed, slick movement inside the ring and punching power, he will win inside the distance against Walters.The Jamaican is not a believer, however. Speaking to The Gleaner, he said: “I am fit and ready and I am going to shock all those people who are betting against me. I am going to win, and don’t be surprised if I knock him out.”Walters said he had a lot of respect for Lomachenko.”He is the champion, and I give him credit because he is a good fighter. Although I respect him and what he has achieved, however, I am going into the ring to win. Let us see how he reacts when I hit him with some good body shots. I want to hurt him and make him bleed and see how he reacts to that. I am ready, he is ready and it will be a great fight,” he ended. read more

Only the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have reached more finals and only they and Michael Jordan’s 1990s Chicago Bulls have captured more crowns.“I think mentally it’s really going to test us,” Iguodala said. “How do we respond to, I wouldn’t say adversity, but just defending the championship again?“There’s always a lot of noise surrounding us and we have to continue to be resilient through the noise, because it can weigh on us sometimes.”The only teams to reach at least four consecutive finals were Boston in the 1960s, the 1980s Lakers and Celtics and LeBron James-led Miami from 2011-14. But the only team to have the best regular-season record those same four years was the Celtics more than a half-century ago.Durant averaged 25.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists last season while Curry, who led the team in scoring for a fifth consecutive campaign, contributed 25.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists a game and Thompson produced 22.3 points a game.Curry says having so much talent doesn’t cause a problem with keeping everyone involved in the attack.“The way we play, everybody touches the ball. Everybody is involved,” Curry said. “Everybody should be a threat when they’re on the floor. And with the high IQ guys we have on this team, we just find a way for it to blend and work.“And we don’t have guys that are selfish at all, that are jealous of anybody else’s success or going to create drama if they get five shots one game and 15 shots the next game — as long as we win.” “You can’t win anything, you can’t be successful unless you have a great team around you -– a great group of people that you rely on, that you learn from,” Durant said. “We’ve got a number of those guys in this organization.”In the off-season the Warriors spent nearly $330 million on new contracts for Durant, Curry and starting big man Zaza Pachulia plus key reserves Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston.FEATURED STORIESSPORTSRedemption is sweet for Ginebra, Scottie ThompsonSPORTSMayweather beats Pacquiao, Canelo for ‘Fighter of the Decade’SPORTSFederer blasts lack of communication on Australian Open smogGeorgian center Pachulia warns the Warriors have a chance to fine-tune an already formidable squad.“I think we have a luxury and an opportunity to pay attention to the small details so we can move to the next level,” Pachulia said.

He draws so much attention at what he brings to both ends of the floor, that’s kind of irreplaceable,” Beal said. “It’s definitely a huge hit to us having him out, but we’ve been having some success.
