Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge proved their form by coming off the bench to dig England out of trouble in their 2-1 win over Wales in Lens. England manager Hodgson has an embarrassment of riches up front, but Harry Kane, who started in the 1-1 draw against Russia and win over Wales, has struggled to make an impact in France. Vardy’s equaliser against Wales can- celled out Gareth Bale’s thunderbolt free-kick before Sturridge broke Welsh hearts with the late winner. Leicester City’s Vardy says he would be content with another cameo off the bench in Saint-Etienne having come on after the break against the Welsh. “I’d more than happy with that. We’ll have to wait till Monday what team the boss puts out and hopefully we can get the job done,” said Vardy. “I think it is tough for him, but competition for places is good for the squad itself. And with the options we have got available, we can use diff erent systems as well.” Kane’s lack of form in France has been attributed to his eff orts for Tot- tenham Hotspur in the Premier League title race. The Spurs man has played 5,092 minutes of football in the past year, compared with 3,707 for Vardy and 1,812 for Sturridge. Kane has scored two goals in his last seven for club and country, Sturridge has three in six and Vardy has four in fi ve. But Vardy is backing his rival to prove his form on the Euro 2016 stage. “He (Kane) doesn’t seem tired, I’m sure he’ll want to keep starting and hopefully get on that goal run,” said England forward Jamie Vardy (centre) attends a training session at the Bourgogne stadium in Chantilly, north of Paris, yesterday.

  • Dhoni's Genius and Not Luck Leads Him to Success
    Dhoni’s genius and not luck leads him to success Mail Today – Mon 15 Jul, 2013 9:51 AM IST Departing from Rajkot, where I had gone to my old school, Rajkumar College, an eight- year- old young girl, who had heard me giving a motivational talk during the assembly that morning, walked up to me and asked an interesting question. The young and confident girl asked: “Sir, what did you feel when you played for India?” Taken by surprise, I did take a few moments to reply and told her my feeling of elation to represent my country, the anxiety as to how I would perform. I also told her how being successful for my family, friends and all the well wishers, who played a part in my development, was important. The first shock to the system is when your name is announced in the playing XI. This usually takes place at team meetings the night before a match. The ritual is for one to say a few words to your teammates. This is followed by a sleepless night of dreaming and constructing innings and grandiose performances. The reality comes to the fore when one steps on to the ground. The noise of thousands of people brings one to the brink of nervousness and the butterflies in the tummy sends shivers up one’s spine. Amidst these entire uncontrollable sensations, one radiates an external image of confidence of a well- trained sportsman. Brtitain’s Andy Murray started the last week with an incredible performance by winning the Wimbledon singles title, and doing so for each and every British fan.
