Solutions

1:A - Broad scored the most for England (four) and Starc scored the most for Australia (three)., 2:D - Nottingham Forest (European champions in 1979 and 1980) are playing Aston Villa (champions in 1982) in the Championship., 3:D - Kyrgios said: “That’s what happens. People do other stuff. I do other stuff than playing tennis, as well. We can’t be available all the time.”, 4:B - Suzuki drugged his key rival last September so he would fail a doping test., 5:C - Herrlich fell to the ground when an opposition player brushed past him in a German Cup match, something he later regretted: “That certainly looked stupid and happened in the heat of the moment. I would like to apologise.”, 6:D - Hodgson had been angry about a refereeing decision but changed his tune after receiving assurances from the Video Assistant Referee. “I made a few spiteful comments to the ref at the final whistle, but that’s just my nature and I regret them now,” he said. “Neil Swarbrick in the VAR studio has seen it from a better angle and it’s not a handball. So I have to congratulate the system and I have no complaints at all.”, 7:D - Khan plotted his comeback while alone with his thoughts on I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! “I was in the jungle, on my own and thinking about where I wanted to be in my life,” he said. “I wanted people to see the real side of me and then I wanted to get back on the boxing scene with a bang.”, 8:B - Bristol City assistant Dean Holden said: “Pep was very, very complimentary about the way that we played. He was asking us little questions – like the lines that we had on our pitch here at Ashton Gate. He asked us if it was a tactical thing that we use. We said: ‘No, it’s plainly for the rugby markings.’ He obviously knew a lot.", 9:D - Tottenham, who will move back to White Hart Lane in the summer, have a 10-year deal with the NFL., 10:B - That's enough to read 10,000 web pages.
