Hugh Jackman Plays Cricket in Australia
Hugh Jackman readies hit bat while playing cricket during day one of the Fourth Test match between Australia and England at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday (December 26) in Melbourne, Australia.
While taping a TV segment for Channel 9’s Australian broadcast of The Ashes Test cricket series, the 42-year-old actor received a pitched from a fellow Aussie, pro cricket player Shane Warne. As luck would have it, the Wolverine star got hit in the groin!
Thankfully Hugh was wearing protective gear!
Two weeks ago, Hugh injured his eye while ziplining on the special Aussie episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Be more careful, Hugh!

Craig Gordon vs Bolton – Save Of The Season?
Temperature may be at a freezing low in the UK at the moment but that did not stop Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon from making arguably one of the best saves of his career and the save of the season so far.
In a week which saw most Premier League matches postponed due to heavy snowfall, the Sunderland vs Bolton match went on as planned with Sunderland taking all three points thanks to a Danny Welbeck goal.
Gordon however played a major role in the victory by producing a fine save just before half time that denied Zat Knight what would have been an easy poke-in goal. Sunderland held on to the lead and won the match 1-0 thanks to the outstanding save by the Scottish goalkeeper.
What do you think? Is Craig Gordon’s save against Bolton deserves to be the save of the season?

Birmingham Football Fans - Pitch Invasion
The Second City Derby is always a powder keg on top of a bonfire in a nuclear waste repository, but the timing on Birmingham fans' decision to invade the pitch and chuck flares at Aston Villa supporters as a depraved way of celebrating a 2-1 Carling Cup quarterfinal win was less than ideal. Earlier in the day, Prince William, David Beckham and Prime Minister David Cameron charmed their way through a World Cup bid presentation to the voting members of FIFA's executive committee. The scenes at St. Andrews Stadium probably weren't what they had in mind as a final statement the night before a decision on the 2018 World Cup is to be made, though.
The '80s revival movement that took place on the pitch as Birmingham's pitch invaders charged toward the away supporters, throwing flares over the human wall of riot police that quickly assembled, and dodging the torn-up seats hurled by Villa supporters probably won't do much to affect the bid at this late stage, but still...it wasn't good.
