1) Thiago Silva discovers an angle that simply doesn't exist and a touch to die for, sadly just a moment too late. Here he is back in action, however, this time enjoying a kickabout with the Beckham boys and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Meanwhile Zinedine Zidane finds his kids wondering if he is afraid of their skills in the garden. His undoubted talent, in his trademark spin, 'La Roulette' is on show to music here.
2) With the newly-announced Australian Ashes squad being derided over here as the worst ever, and making England strong favourites, it is surely time to take a few sobering breaths and re-live two similar occasions. First up the 1958-59 tour to Australia, where England were highly favoured. They lost 4-0, Alan Davidson and the questionable action of Ian Meckiff did the damage in the second Test. And of course 1989, where Australia had also been billed as the "worst side to ever tour England." They won 4-0 with Terry Alderman taking this six-wicket haul on his way to 41 in total.
3) A spot of bobbing and a spot of weaving before Pieter Rumaropen, who plays for Indonesian side Persiwa Wamena, lets loose an almighty haymaker on the referee during a Super League match. Elsewhere, a Romanian side combine a wheelbarrow and an engine to great effect.
4) Sometimes taking cover from errant baseballs is simply not enough, sometimes they just want to be with you, particularly in the slo-mo close up.
5) An amazing six-way photo finish at Saratoga races from 2009 (Grassy is the eventual winner).
6) Finally, a snooker flukey compilation of the best lucky bounces on green baize.
Our favourites from last week's blog
1) Try watching this skiiing backflip by Jacob Wester, filmed in the first person, and not feel your stomach lurch as he goes over the top ...
2) A spot of warm up and then what looks like a nothing shot from squash world champion Ramy Ashour but wait, where's it going?
3) "Get it OUT!" "Just get it OUT!" Some of the most charmingly inept defending ever, impossible not to love.
4) More baseball as a big fan has an even bigger glove and in what appears to be eye-bleeding HD he takes a fine catch, while Phillies outfielder Ben Revere shows how its done in spectacular style with the regular version. More baseball balletics here and here.
5) All together now: San Lorenzo fans celebrating a 3-1 win with joyful abandon.
6) Only Wiggo can do this. How to park your bike with the insouciance of the master ...
