Cricket: In spite of a formidable show by the English throughout the summer, Australia sailed to an easy victory in the final of the 5 match ODI series, winning it 3-2. Beating arch rivals in an away series, the current World Champions have announced loud and clear that they are truly the best that there is right now and will be a force to reckon with for many months to come.

  

Football: We are into week 6 of the Barclays English Premier League and Manchester City is sitting pretty at the top of the table with 15 points, followed by Leicester City with 11 and Manchester United and Arsenal with 10. Defending champions Chelsea are currently at the 17th spot with a mere 4 points in 5 matches. Hopefully the big win against Arsenal will set them back on track.

 

Don’t miss: The Davis Cup being played in Delhi currently. At this time, Czech Republic lead 2-1 to India (Singles 1: Rasol beat Bhambri; Singles 2: Devvarman beat Vesley; Doubles: Stepanek-Pavlasek beat Bopanna-Paes). The finals are scheduled to take place tomorrow; make sure you catch them live!
