Hours after the Olympic selection trials had finished, Simon Cowley's face was allegedly used as a punchbag. Does one moment of stupidity merit what could effectively be the end of D'Arcy's career?

There is no place for violence on a sports field. But as AFL fan Craig Hackney points out, we do not want our leisure time sanitised to the extent that physical contact is completely outlawed.

Scenes of violence following the Olympic Torch as it makes its way round the world will not sway the Chinese government. The demonstrators should learn from the great silent protesters of history.

All this aerodynamic gear is killing the Grand Prix spectacle, with cars unable to overtake and races decided on pit stops rather than driver skill.

Ignoring a bowler who's in a rough patch isn't the way to restore confidence - and neither are his bullying tactics.

The rookie went oh so close in his first year. This time round he won't be fighting with his team-mate, but can he lead McLaren to the title?

Advancement in sound and video technology has shattered the myth that the men in white are the purest of the pure. Even the iconic WG Grace was a bit of a wide boy.

After narrowly winning the Ashes in 2005 England have been in decline with the latest debacle in Hamilton testament to their new-found status as Test whipping boys. Sportingo's Aussie cricket expert has dragged himself to the keyboard to revel in the Poms' demise.

The tall pace bowler announced his arrival on the international scene with a devastating spell in the Perth Test. If he's good enough to make a fool out of Ricky Ponting, he must be special.

The Aussies' world No. 1 ranking may be under threat from India and South Africa, but don't imagine Ricky Ponting and Co will surrender it without a fight. There's still a lot of fight in the Baggy Greens.

The ICC doesn't know what to do with the game's new money-spinner. The governing body holds the moral high ground but the IPL has unlimited resources to persuade the top players in world cricket what is good for them. In this case, push will not come to shove.

The ace wicketkeeper-batsman retires on a high with Test and ODI records tucked into the gauntlets and an impressive batting average in both forms of the game. But he'll also be remembered as a great ambassador for the sport.
