'Lord Ted' no more

Former England Test captain Ted Dexter, one of the country's greatest players, has died aged 86 after a recent illness, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) said on Thursday. Dexter, nicknamed "Lord Ted", was an aggressive batsman and part-time seam bowler who played 62 tests for England after making his debut in 1958 against New Zealand. He captained England and Sussex in the early 1960s. Dexter scored 4,502 runs at an average of 47.89 during his Test career and took 66 wickets at an average of 34.93.

Ronaldo to City?

With the summer transfer window into its final week for the major European leagues, there are growing speculations that Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo could be on his way to Manchester City.

Spanish sports daily AS reports that an agreement has been reached between Cristiano and Premier League champions Manchester City over a sensational move away from Serie A. According to the report, City have offered Ronaldo a two-year contract with a salary of €15 million per season, about half of what he earns in Turin.

However, while Ronaldo has reportedly agreed terms with City, no deal has yet been struck between the team and Juventus, who are seeking a €25m transfer fee for the 36-year-old and would be interested in signing City forward Gabriel Jesus, but City do not want to pay a transfer fee or let their Brazil international leave this summer.
