Daniel Ricciardo admits his performance in qualifying for the Chinese GP proved a surprise even to him, as he secured a front-row start for Red Bull. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Michael-Strahan-Jersey/ ;. Its the first time since Singapore 2015 that the former world champions have had a car qualify in the top two and only the second time since 2014.The feat was all the more surprising given it was a dry session and the fact Ferrari had looked strong throughout practice. I wouldnt say I would have expected to be here if it was wet, but the fact that I am here I would have assumed it was a wet qualifying, Ricciardo told Sky Sports F1.So to be here on the front row with a dry qualifying is just awesome. Im really happy.I knew my first lap in Q3 was pretty good so when I crossed the line again and saw Id got four tenths off that I thought we might be on chance for a top three here. Then I saw the scoreboard and saw I was second.Im definitely in a good place right now driving, happy and as a team we are showing some strong signs. So that is positive. Qualifying Report Nico Rosberg on pole in China, where Lewis Hamilton starts last Red Bull team principal Christian Horner was equally delighted to see his team back at the sharp end after a difficult couple of years since F1s 2014 rule change.Where on earth that came from... Horner said. Im quite shocked actually because to qualify on the front row here was an incredible performance.He got quicker and quicker and quicker and just put everything together. The wind picked up in the last bit of qualifying and made it quite tricky, but he just nailed it.Rosberg has picked a different tyre strategy, but we are in the race from there. We know we are vulnerable, but we have got to see the start lights for the first time in quite a while from the front row and we will give it everything. Nico Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo and Kimi Raikkonen reflect on Saturdays qualifying session in China For his part, Ricciardo appears to have his eyes in his mirrors rather than on the Mercedes of Rosberg ahead.Id love to be in a fight with Ferrari for the podium. We start on the front row so it is hard not to try and plan a podium from here, so that is obviously the plan, the Australian said.Realistically Ferrari should have a bit better race pace. Theyve shown that in the first couple of races, but we got ahead of them today. That doesnt mean we cant do it tomorrow.The second Red Bull of Daniil Kvyat will start from sixth after qualifying on a used set of tyres, which accounts for some of his four tenths deficit to Ricciardo.Watch the Chinese GP on Sunday - LIVE ONLY on Sky Sports F1.

The Celtics closed out their first preseason under Stevens on Wednesday night with a 101-97 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, who rested a lot of their lineup including former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Geno-Smith-Jersey/ ;. Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Olivier-Vernon-Jersey/ ;. Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Hans van den Broek The central character in Joseph ONeills acclaimed 2008 novel Netherland is Hans van den Broek, a Dutchman whose attempts to make a normal life for himself in New York after the 9/11 attacks include playing cricket for the Staten Island club (which does exist: Don Bradman played there on a tour in the 1930s). In a telling line in the book, one character remarks: Theres a limit to what Americans understand. The limit is cricket.Raffles AJ Raffles, the gentleman thief, was the best-known invention of EW Hornung, who was Arthur Conan Doyles brother-in-law (this might explain why Doyle himself largely steered clear of cricket). Raffles is a talented spin bowler, who plays a lot of country-house cricket, thereby opening up many opportunities for burglary.Wilson Perhaps the ultimate comic-book hero, William Wilson the Wonder Athlete featured in The Wizard for many years from 1943. Wilson, who was apparently born in 1795 but achieved long life by slowing his heart rate down, is first seen emerging from the crowd to run the first three-minute mile. In a later series of stories he captains England to Ashes success in Australia, not long after becoming the first man to climb Everest.Pradeep Mathew A more recent addition to crickets fictional heroes is Pradeep Mathew, a mystery spinner who sets a world record in his first Test match - only to have it struck from the record books as a non-event. Mathew features in the Sri Lankan writer Shehan Karunatilakas first novel, Chinaman, which came out last year. It is narrated by one WG Karunasena, who is convinced that unlike life, sport matters, and has a son called Garfield (named after Sobers).Mike Jackson PG Wodehouse was a keen club cricketer who played occasionally at Lords, and his humorous fiction is peppered with cricket references: Jeeves, his most famous creation, is named after a Warwickshire player, while Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright, one of Bertie Woosters dissolute chums, is said to play a spot of county cricket. But Wodehouses main cricketing invention is Mike Jackson, who features in all the Psmith novels, initially as a fine batsman, starting with a match-saving innings against MCC. Murray Hedgcock edited a book called Wodehouse at the Wicket, including more of Wodehouses cricket dalliances, which was published in 1997.Spedegue Even though he was a first-class cricketer himself - his one wicket as a bowler was that of WG Grace - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle only wrote occasionally about the game. His most famous cricketing story was Spedegues Dropper, about an asthmatic schoolteacher who practised his underarm bowling by lobbing a ball underarm over a rope hitched to two tall trees. He was summoned from village cricket to an Ashes deecider and - youve guessed it - won the match. http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Justin-Pugh-Jersey/. Thomas Spedegue was carried shoulder-high from the field, but was told to retire immediately by his doctors.Warwick Todd The wonders of Photoshop allowed the fictional Australian cricketer Warwick Todd to be inserted into numerous photos in a series of bestselling spoof diaries a few years ago. Todd, complete with obligatory droopy moustache and an insatiable taste for ice-cold beer, is the creation of the Aussie comedy actor Tom Gleisner. The third book, Warwick Todd Goes the Tonk, is proudly advertised as being without a foreword by Richie Benaud.Flashman The fictional bully of Tom Browns Schooldays enjoyed a lengthy comeback in the detailed historical novels of George McDonald Fraser. In these gripping yarns Harry Flashman remains a coward and a cad - but also, especially in Flashmans Lady (1977), exhibits an aptitude for cricket: he takes a hat-trick at Lords for a team of Rugby old boys, and gets drawn into dealings with a shady bookmaker. Dave Podmore A fictional cricketer with a lap-dancer wife and a psychotic dog, Dave Podmore (Leicestershire and England) was the invention of Christopher Douglas, Andrew Nickolds and Nick Newman, and his hilarious adventures first appeared in theGuardian newspaper, before being turned into books and a radio series. Pods highest Test score was 4 (an edge through the slips against Sri Lanka), while probably his proudest moment was being appointed as Australias sledging coach before an Ashes series.Doctor Who Televisions most famous time traveller sported - in his fifth incarnation - a cricket sweater. Peter Davison, who played the Doctor at the time, claimed this was his idea, after the producers asked for an item of clothing that suggested action and eccentricity. In one episode the Doctor spoils a cricket match by coming on to bowl with great success, and in another the cricket ball he permanently carried in his voluminous coat pockets saves his life: in a zero-gravity situation he throws it against a spaceship and catches the rebound, and the impetus takes him safely back to the Tardis (dont try this at home).Sherlock Holmes Arthur Conan Doyles famously ascetic detective had little time for team sports such as cricket - but many people claim that his name derives from a combination of two Nottinghamshire players, Mordecai Sherwin and Frank Shacklock (c Sherwin b Shacklock was a fairly regular scorecard entry in the late 19th century). And Holmes even cleverer brother is generally held to be named after another cricketer, the Derbyshire fast bowler William Mycroft.
