    Teenage kicks

    We are asking for those teenage players that lived up to their promise and those that failed to fulfil their potential.

    Chicken Talha Masala: , externalJohn Obi Mikel. 347 appearances. 11 major trophies. Signed at 18. Still a loyal servant to the club. Great buy 10 years on.

    Ross James Orpin: , externalHas to be Freddy Adu, always brought him on a certain Football Managing game a few year back. Disappeared into mediocrity.

    Remember Freddy Adu? Playing in Major League Soccer at the age of 14, he was billed as the next global footballing superstar.

    His career peaked with a move to Benfica, before a host of failures at teams like Belenenses (Portugal), Aris (Greece) and Caykur Rizespor (Turkey). He is now playing at Tampa Bay Rowdies in the North American Soccer League, the second tier of football in America.

    Australia dropped two catches off two Mitchell Marsh delieveries but, at the third time of asking, George Bailey makes no mistake as he pouches a skier from Umesh Yadav as another India wicket falls.

    India are 315-9 and need 33 from 14 balls.

    As losing from winning positions go, India's collapse today is right up there.

    Bhuvneshwar Kumar guides a catch to Australia skipper Steve Smith in the slips off the bowling off Kane Richardson, who has now taken five wickets.

    India now need 38 from 24 balls to avoid going 4-0 down in the five-match series.

    Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini has accused Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri of using homophobic language towards him during a touchline altercation.

    "In England, someone like him wouldn't even be allowed on the touchline," the ex-Manchester City boss told Rai Sport. , external

    After the Coppa Italia tie, Sarri said: "Am I homophobic? That seems over the top. I was just irritable."

    Mancini, 51, also called his fellow Italian "a racist" without elaborating on why he had made the claim.

    Another delivery, another wicket. Rishi Dhawan is the next India player back in the pavilion as the tourists continue to crumble.

    Just a reminder, India have gone from from 277-1 to 308-7. They need 40 from 34 balls as they chase 349 but that is looking a long way off now.

    Australian Mark Kavanagh has been given a three year ban

    Two leading Australian trainers have been banned after horses failed drugs tests.

    Melbourne Cup winner Mark Kavanagh was banned for three years and Danny O'Brien for four years over the use of cobalt chloride.

    Kavanagh, who won Australia's biggest race in 2009 with Shocking, and O'Brien are appealing against the verdicts.

    Vet Dr Tom Brennan was banned for five years.

    Cricket

    Bye, bye Ajinkya Rahane. The India batsman is the next one out for just two as his side continue to self destruct.

    You'd have to say Australia are now favourites after taking five quick wickets. India are 294-6, needing 55 from 48 balls.

    Teenage kicks

    It is 10 years to the day that Arsenal signed a 16-year-old Theo Walcott from Southampton.

    With 42 international caps, an FA Cup winners' medal, numerous Champions League appearances and his team top of the Premier League he has lived up to expectations. But it does not always work out for the teenage stars.

    So for our first debate we want to know which teenage stars lived up to their promise, but also which players fell from the big-time and failed to fulfil their potential?

    India lose another wicketpublished at 10:26

    Cricket

    Wickets are tumbling quicker than runs being scored and that's not a good formula for any team. India have just lost a fifth wicket with the loss of Gurkeerat Singh Mann off the bowling of spinner Nathan Lyon.

    India have gone from 277-1 to 286-5. They need 58 from 54 balls.

    That's three quick wickets for Australia and game on. Virat Kohli is now out for 106 to leave India on 278-4 as they chase 349.

    From a position of authority, the tourists are stuttering and need 71 from 63 balls.

    Some joy for Australia. Shikhar Dhawan was trying to get the contest done as soon as possible but only ended up being caught by George Bailey. 

    Dhawna did make 126 though and India remain on course for a win as they are 277-2 and need 72 runs from 73 balls, with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli at the crease.

    You might think 349 is an imposing target to chase but India are making it look very average.

    They are 261-1 after 35 overs with Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli the batsmen at the crease. Dhawan has hit a 92-ball ton and is 114 not out, while Kohli has just reached his century off 84 balls.

    Australia are 3-0 up in the five-match series.

    Whitehawk have begun talks with the Football Association about changing the club's name to Brighton City.

    The National League South club, which is based in east Brighton and reached round two of the FA Cup this season, hopes to make the change for 2016-17.

    However, some Whitehawk fans oppose the change and have launched an online petition in an attempt to block it.

    In December, chairman John Summers told BBC Sussex: "We believe it would widen the profile of the club."

    Netball

    What we talking here, then? Cricket? Rugby Union? Rugby League? Oh, we've got a rivalry with the Aussies in netball too.

    Shooter Helen Housby says a lack of fear is vital when England host world champions Australia in Wednesday's three-game International Series opener.

    The first match is in Liverpool, with the remaining two fixtures in London on 22 and 24 January.

    The world number one side won their 11th title at last year's World Cup in Sydney, where England finished third.

    "If we are going to beat them, we have to offend them, we have to go hard on them," said 21-year-old Housby. "It will be a massive challenge.

    'Match fixing is open secret on tour'published at 09:37

    Tennis

    This is big...

    An ex-tennis player from South America has told the BBC that match-fixing is commonplace and even some elite players are "a little bit dirty in some way".

    He also claimed fixing is not just limited to lower-ranked professionals and is "a secret that everybody knows".

    The player, who requested anonymity, said tennis authorities "know who is doing it" but are unwilling to stop it.

    The Tennis Integrity Unit (TIU) said it rejects "any suggestion that evidence of match-fixing has been suppressed".
