Version 0 of 1.

1) After Ireland’s magnificent victory over the West Indies in this year’s Cricket World Cup, relive some more of their great moments like Kevin O’Brien blasting the thing all over the shop against England and the time they told Pakistan to do one in 2007. And there’s more (though no more of Ireland). Remember the 1983 final when India beat the West Indies who were, at least, 50 million times better than India? And, of course, there was the time Kenya overcame Sri Lanka.

2) You probably have nothing better to do today so sit down and watch every single Lionel Messi assist for Barcelona in La Liga.

3) Speaking of assists. Check out this bad boy from Marco Reus. And speaking of Reus, here are five of his best goals for Borussia Dortmund. And did you know that Reus has different handshakes for different team-mates? You do now.

4) What happens when you combine big rugby tackles with WWE commentary? Absolute awesomeness, that’s what.

5) Passion.

6) Zach LaVine doing what you’re average 19-year old does, getting a packed arena on its feet through dunk after amazing dunk.

Our favourites from last week’s blog

1) Wow. Just, wow.

2) More BMX brilliance from Tim Knoll.

3) Pop quiz question for all your adults out there: how many of the players in this ad can you name? No cheating.

4) Peter Prevc 1-0 Gravity.

5) It’s not been a good week for gravity.

6) Let those among us who have never done a Paul Robinson cast the first stone.
