Chelsea’s desire to win the match against Everton has result in a rough game displaying only physical strength and not of top-notch football skills. This was clearly demonstrated in Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard being booked for challenging the referee’s decision. Ballack was also booked at 67’ minutes and Terry at 37’ minutes was sent off court leaving Chelsea to fend the remaining match.
A person worth mentioning is goalkeeper Petc Cech who was constantly defending Everton’s attacks and ensuring that Chelsea did not lose a single point in this intense Premier League Games. It appears that Everton came close to creating their first goal for this match as Osman and Fellaini displayed good chemistry but was blocked by Petc Cech. Later on, a penalty kick was issued and Yobo took it head on. It was once again blocked by Chelsea’s goalkeeper as he diligently keep Everton in place.
Not long after which Chelsea also picked up speed and challenged Everton as seen in the display of Ballack getting in a good position to strike, which did not see through eventually.
Now, Chelsea remains in 2nd position and Everton in 7th.

The blow comes as Australia prepare for an all out war of the fast bowlers following the arrival of ‘the world’s fastest bowler’ in Dale Steyn along with countrymen Mkaya Ntini and Morne Morkel.

Perth is often a pitch that can be one by the quicks if they get on top early and Clark plays an integral role in tying down and frustrating a batsman with his unwavering line and length.
The Aussies may take some comfort from Brett Lee’s ominous return to form as well some decent form from the ever-reliable Mitchell Johnson.
Stuart Clarke’s best figures came against South Africa when he captured 20 wickets in a three test series that also happened to be Clarke’s debut series.
In that series he had an astounding average of just 15.85 runs per wicket.
A forlorn Clarke sat at training, apparently on the verge of tears, as he team mates did their best to console.
Clarke has missed the last two test series with a wear and tear injury to his elbow.
He will use the same surgeon that operated on Ricky Ponting’s wrist earlier in the year to remove bone fragment from the joints caused by throwing a cricket ball.
There a no guarantees for this kind of surgery and the thirty-three year old Clarke must now prepare for a life without cricket.

A buzz has hit punt road the likes of which has not been seen in twenty years or more.
