West Indies crush India by 103 runs in fourth ODI

West Indies bowlers produced a clinical performance after Kieron Pollard and Lendl Simmons laid the foundation with fluent fifties, as they crushed India by 103 runs in the fourth One-day International, here today.
Sent into bat after Suresh Raina won the toss, Pollard top-scored with a typically aggressive 70 off 72 balls while opener Simmons notched up a fluent 67 off 78 deliveries, to lift the hosts to 249 for eight, their highest total of the series, after the Indian bowlers had them in a spot of bother at 89 for four.

English sides chasing Alexander Milosevic

A host of Premier League sides are reported to be chasing Swedish defender Alexander Milosevic.
The likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Sunderland are all thought to be tracking the full-back.
A number of scouts are believed to have watched the 18-year-old in action against Malmo on Sunday.
Milosevic's agent, Nenad Lukic, admits he is aware of interest from England in the defender, but insists there has been no offers for the teenager.
"I know that there are English clubs that are interested but we haven't heard anything concrete," Lukic told Aftonbladet.
"We respect AIK (Solna) too. They were courageous enough to give a young player the chance to play in the starting eleven."
Solna's sporting director, Jens Andersson, knows there are clubs chasing Milosevic, but he refused to reveal their indentities.
"I know that there are several clubs that follow him but I never comment on specific clubs, noted Andersson.
