Rory McIlroy's best moments, indoor cricket and expert drone destruction | Classic YouTube | Sport
1) With the Open starting, Rory McIlroy isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders. Let’s look back at some happier times, starting in 2007 when he burst on to the scene with a fine performance as an amateur at that year’s Open. Here he is winning the Silver Medal at Carnoustie. McIlroy had to wait a few years for his first major but managed it at the 2011 US Open. Here is the fresh-faced champion being interviewed on the 18th after breaking his duck. The following year he won the US PGA Championship, and did so again in 2014. In the same year he won the Open, this time at Royal Liverpool. Finally, here he is sinking a monster at the Ryder Cup. So Rory, if you’re reading and feeling glum, watch all that and cheer yourself up a bit.
2) Drones may be the first hint of Earth’s dystopian future, but they are no match for an expertly flung toilet roll, as this Argentinian football fan proved:
3) New York Yankees behemoth Aaron Judge has been hitting baseballs like they’ve been mean to his mum this season. He was close to another home run this week …until Boston Red Sox centre-fielder Jackie Bradley Jnr stepped up and nabbed it from him. And here’s another example of Bradley’s brilliance.
4) At the T20 Blast, this fan got the Cardiff crowd on their feet with a spectacular one-handed catch … with his plastic pint glass in his mouth. Well fielded, sir.

Wet ball ✅
One-handed ✅But most importantly, the 🺠is still in tact!
Hats off to you, sir… pic.twitter.com/wKkM4sBDB4

5) Chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov delivers a TED talk, telling his audience to work with intelligent machines, rather than fear them. The Russian took a slightly different view back in 1997, accusing IBM of cheating after losing to a computer. There’s more on that in this excellent BBC documentary. Staying highbrow, here’s England rugby head coach Eddie Jones chatting to the Oxford Union last month.
1) It’s 48 minutes long, but you’ll want to make time for the final from the 1982 Wadham Stringer Trophy â€" or, more simply, “indoor cricketâ€. Features, among other things, the commentary dayboo of Bob Willis; a hungover, grumpy, about-to-be-banned-from-Test-cricket-for-going-on-the-rebel-tour-to-South-Africa Graham Gooch; Chris Tavaré opening the batting and the bowling; a Mini Metro being suspended above the players for some reason; and Fred Dineage on presenting duty. Watch, then read Hugh Turbervill’s piece in the Cricketer for further info.
2) That is liquid pool.
3) Hell of a start from Gilles Villeneuve at the 1979 Austrian Grand Prix. Although he’ll need a very good reason for using the hard shoulder like that.
4) Greek bodybuilder Giannis Magos wasn’t, shall we say, massively impressed to have lost his competition last year. As the judges found out at first hand.
5) Football shambles, LA Galaxy style.
