EDIN DZEKO

FEW performed better over the course of Liverpool’s epic Champions League semi-final than the Roma striker. Dzeko has clearly improved since his up-and-down time at Manchester City and if a Premier League club could lure him they would be signing a very good striker. However, Dzeko’s biggest failing at City was that his ego could not cope with the unpredictability of Roberto Mancini’s rotation policy. How much has he changed, if at all?

THOMAS BJORN

THE European Ryder Cup captain received a letter from six-handicapper Stephen Atkinson informing him he no longer wished to be considered for selection. It was an amusing note, nicely written. But Atkinson was taken aback when Bjorn turned up at his door with the trophy to show him what he could have won. It was a decent effort, given that the cup currently belongs to America.

VIRAT KOHLI

THE 29-year-old batsman will play six matches for Surrey as he prepares for India’s tour of England this summer. The man is a genius. Go and watch him.
