GB humbled by Canada’s superstars

THE power of the best ice hockey nation on earth proved far too much for Great Britain’s underdogs in Kosice, Slovakia, last night as Canada muscled their way to an 8-0 World Championship victory. Britain, who had made an encouraging start to their first appearance at the top level of the sport for 25 years with a narrow 3-1 defeat by Germany on Saturday, found Canada’s NHL stars a very different proposition. Britain’s best defenceman Ben O’Connor summed up the night when he said: ‘It was like non-League v Barcelona.’ MUMBaI INdIaNS won the IPL cricket final on the very last ball for a sensational one-run victory against Chennai Super Kings. Shane Watson’s 80 off 59 balls nearly took MS dhoni’s team home, but the australian allrounder was run out in the last over as Mumbai, who had earlier scored 149, restricted Chennai to 148 for seven.
