Richard Luce wasn’t so bad for the arts

To be fair to Richard Luce, he rapidly learned on the job (, 12 September). Largely because he was an arts “outsider”, he carried out the role in an unusually fair manner, both in relation to the regions and to participation. Albeit subject to Thatcherite dogma, he was actually a much better arts minister than the likes of the egocentric David Mellor, beholden to the metropolitan arts and museum vested interests as arts ministers usually are.Christopher GordonWinchester, Hampshire • Barney Ronay (Sport, 10 September) .

Rishabh Pant discloses how Kiran More improved his keeping after tough England tour

New Delhi: A slight tweak in hand positioning and body posture was all that it took for Rishabh Pant to turn the tables after a tough stint behind the stumps in England and the fast-rising Indian wicketkeeper-batsman credits Kiran More for making it happen. He faced sharp criticism for his wicket-keeping skills in adverse English conditions but Pant more than made up for it in Australia. In England, where the red Dukes was seaming all around, a lot of byes were recorded against Pant's name, many of them due to the ball moving in the air even after leaving the...

PSG and Dortmund sing it with pride as home crowds wallow in age of rage

There was an exciting announcement this week about a new style of shoe “inspired by 1980s terrace culture”. The idea behind the new shoe, an Adidas press release explained, is to capture the sights and sounds of English football 30 years ago. And who knows, it could work out well. Perhaps the new Adidas Widespread Racism will go on to become a huge hit. This is of course a joke. The new shoe isn’t called the Adidas Widespread Racism. That would be ridiculous. Not to mention an insult to the hard-working team of marketeers and product developers behind the Adidas...

Martin Guptill's ton powers New Zealand to ODI series victory over Bangladesh

Christchurch: A rejuvenated Martin Guptill produced his second century in as many games as New Zealand wrapped up their one-day series against Bangladesh with an eight-wicket win in Christchurch on Saturday. It followed a similar overwhelming eight-wicket victory in game one of the three-match series when Guptill cracked a commanding 117 not out. This time the opener cut, drove and pulled his way to 118, his 16th ODI century, as New Zealand comfortably knocked off their 227-run target for the loss of two wickets and with 13.5 overs to spare.

Milan: Cristiano Ronaldo set up Paulo Dybala to score early and added one himself with defender Leonardo Bonucci also on target as Juventus surged 14 points clear in Serie A on Friday with a 3-0 win over lowly Frosinone.

The seven-time reigning Serie A champions are also building towards a top-of-the table clash against Napoli in the San Paolo Stadium on March 3. Allegri's side continued their unbeaten run against...
