I can't wait to see what this kid does in test cricket over the next 25 years.

I don't think we've ever seen such a prodigious talent, in any sporting code, ever in history.

He has the potential to be the ultimate GOAT...

Surreal...

Messi would like a word.
 
Absolutely hilarious to get out hit wicket twice in 2 games like saj has done. Especially dropping your own bat.

Kid who narrowly lost out in the world championship final aged 16, but went on to win it at 17 and again at 18. Won his sport's Premier League as a 17-year-old, lost in the final at 18, won again at 19. Currently aged 19 he's already third in all-time major wins.

Darts.
 
So many 200 plus games and then this final 🙄

In the UK, last week's World Darts Championship drew larger audiences than the Super Bowl, Euroleague matches, or Formula 1.

And at the heart of the spectacle is an eighteen-year-old named Luke Littler, a lad from Warrington who has become the youngest two-time World Darts Champion in history. A Manchester United fan, he has more social media followers than some of the Old Trafford club's players, and in 2024, his name was searched more often on Google than Donald Trump himself. With his elderly face, Littler has become one of the ten most followed British athletes, demonstrating the mental fortitude to withstand the pressure at World Cups that draw thousands of live spectators.

Viewing reached new heights last year when a record audience of over 4.8m people tuned in to watch the 2023/24 World Darts Championship final as Luke Humphries beat a then 16-year-old Littler, with a peak audience of 3.71m, the highest ever non-football peak on Sky Sports.

Use to be on supersport over December, World Champs looks amazing would actually love to attend although you go for the party / vibe and not really the dars.

2 of the 4 international spots so Saffas so we did well, if Ngidi didn't get that concussion we might have had 3.

Tickets are almost impossible to come by. Last year's 170000 tickets were sold in just over a day, and none to general public
 
Really good to see Klaassen and Rabada getting recognition in this tournament. They played well and earned their recognition.
 
I enjoyed this IPL even if none of 3 preferred teams raised the trophy. To be honest, any other a team with Kohli winning would have been awesome.

The competition was really good. There were great team performances and individuals who truly excelled. I am looking forward to 2027, as I think the balance will be a lot different.
