29/03/2014 Saturday Sportsday

Another busy afternoon in the BBC sports" the latest news coming up

and some interesting features for you this week. Welcome to Saturday

Sportsday. Here is a taste of what we've got

for you today. The sibling rivalry which conquered the triathlon world.

The Brownlees started in 2013. They have some big target to aim for this

year. Bryony Page is now one of the best in the world but she tells us

just how close she came to giving up trampolining. And this man, he never

gave up in his quest to be the best in what he does. It's akin to Italy

in one of the toughest professional leagues in wheelchair basketball.

First, let's look at the stories making the headlines today. David

Moyes says even his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson would have struggled

this season with a squad he describes as ageing. A group of fans

are planning to train a banner above Old Trafford during the lunchtime

match against Aston Villa which reads wrong one, Molly is out.

Torrential rain in Kuala Lumpur is affecting this morning 's practice

and qualifying session ahead of the grand pre-. In just under one hour,

Stuart broad will lead at England's cricketers for the crucial game

against South Africa at the 220 World Cup in Bangladesh. England's

men are hopeful of a place the semifinals. So to other women. They

have one two and lost one so far. The captain continues to push the

boundaries. Sarah Taylor rarely slows down. In

the past few years she's become a World Cup winner, contributed a

back-to-back Ashes victories and emerged as one of the best female

cricketers. She is not yet 25 but in the build-up to the world to 20

currently underway in Bangladesh, much was expected of her. Does she

feel pressure? Yes, I do but it brings out the best in me, I think.

I love the T20 format and I'm looking forward to the World Cup.

She's always pushed boundaries as well. When she paid for the Brighton

College first 11 alongside boys, the president called absolutely

outrageous. Now she competes with men in senior club cricket. It's

testing absolutely brilliant. It's one of the best things I ever did.

Some of the pace the bowlers, they do testing and batting, as well, it

keeps you on your toes, but they treat me like any other cricketer. A

year ago, there was talk about making the step into men's second 11

cricket with her county, Sussex. Nothing materialised but it's

something she would like to try. It's nice to be asked. I would've

loved to have done it. It would be a curve. I think it would better

myself as a woman's cricketer but, yeah, if it came around again, I

would do it. Wicketkeeping is about finesse rather than force so could a

woman make it as a wicketkeeper in men's cricket? That's better, good.

The key about the men's game, top flight, the keeper is an

all-rounder. The keeping, we expect them to average in excess of 30 and

the key players in one-day cricket, as well. There's no reason why Sarah

couldn't keep providing she does it well enough. In terms of a limit to

wear women's cricket can go and the performances we put in, I think you

never know. We have got to take small steps initially but, you never

know what's going to happen in the future. Women's cricket is now a

profession thanks to new contracts awarded by the ECB for though these

players will be better prepared than any others to play men's cricket,

none will see it as a goal in itself. The pace of change in the

women's game is relentless and currently, England and Sarah Taylor

are setting it. England's women will have their eyes on next Sunday's T20

final. That's the same day that the World Triathlon series starts in New

Zealand for the Elite Men. The Brownlee Brothers most certainly fit

into that category. But Olympic champion Alastair is sitting out the

first race of the season and Jonny heads to Auckland trying to forget

what happened in his last major race. Mark Shardlow reports.

I bought a beam world champion, won twice. Europeans, one that twice.

It's gone well. The Brownlees are winners so 2013 was frustrating for

them. Johnny blew his world title chance. I will get a lot of stick

for that, throwing away the world title today. And Alistair's main

battle was injury. So when the season finished, they took their

longest ever break from training, six weeks, and went and climbed

Mount Kilimanjaro. I'm not the kind of person to sit at home do

absolutely nothing, so claiming Kilimanjaro was perfect. When you

got to the Company evening, there was nothing to do see had to sit

around and play cards. The Brownlees have spent more time overseas this

winter mixing warm weather training with the usual routine. They also

got a taste of life as full-time cyclists, training with a top

national team. I suppose the best way to describe a day like that, is

like going downstairs, breakfast is laid out for you, but your biking

helmet on, and ride around for five or six hours, comeback. The food is

laid out, and Matthau is, and fantastic environment, very

conductive than sport. Athletes have nothing to worry about except

training. I will try to take as much I can into triathlon. This year 's

triathlon World Series is more gruelling than ever. They need to

compete in at least six events and right in the middle of their five

months of globetrotting is the Commonwealth Games. To win another

major medal would be really really good. It's a con wealth games, they

only happen every four years. It's the one thing I've never won. Yeah,

that's very important for me to win that. Whatever the event, these

remarkable brothers are likely to win medals, as long as they are

injury free. And that'll be the key to a successful summer. All athletes

worry about injuries, Bryony Page has had a few of those. For many

years she thought her path to to the top had been blocked by something

else. A mental block when she suffered from what is known in

trampolining as lost move syndrome. Losing her way through routines, she

thought she would never fulfil her potential, but she was part of the

British team that won world gold last year. She competes at the

European Championships next month in Portugal. Kate Grey went to watch

her prepare at her Sheffield training base.

There's like a point at the top of the jump where you are just

weightless and you feel like you can fly. It sounds so cheesy. Bryony

Page is one of Britain's brightest trampolining stars but her rise to

the top has been far from straightforward. Back in 2007, she

suffered a crisis of confidence that threatened her career. I made a

mistake on one move and that was a move I was scared and eventually it

went to another move and then another one, and as soon it starts

spreading, you feel like you have no control over what you're doing for

the it's your mind and doing it. If you trying to save yourself from

getting hurt feeling like a failure. She battled with as mental block for

five years and wondered whether she would ever make it back. I just had

to teach myself again how to do everything, make sure I was

confident to see everything, and I knew what everything felt like.

There were times I didn't think I could do it but was no times I

thought I would give up. I couldn't leave the sport numbing that I

didn't reach my potential. -- knowing I couldn't reach my

potential. She managed to conquer her Demons butter problems didn't

end there. She missed London 2012 through injury but then went on to

win the World Cup the two years running and bounced back. I would

like to retain my title. I would really like to get on the European

team and the World Championships team. I've become so much stronger

as a person and an athlete. Although it was the most difficult thing I've

had to go through, trampolining, it's something I love doing. I

wouldn't take it away because I've become so much more robust. And more

confident in my abilities. Good luck to her. What ups and downs are we

going to have in Formula One this season? One race down, 18 to go. It

was typically tropical for the teams in Malaysia this morning. Hot and

wet conditions to test the drivers. There are highlights of qualifying

for tomorrow's Grand Prix in the next 20 minutes on BBC One. Suzie

Perry is in Kuala Lumpur. Catch up with Formula one qualifying later on

today. Our complete build-up with features starring a young hotshot

from McLaren. Magnusson. Join David and me after the news on BBC One. We

certainly will. The British men's wheelchair basketball team are the

reigning European Champions. About half the squad are spread around

Europe playing for club sides in Spain, Germany and Italy. That's

where Ian Sagar, one of their stars, is playing his basketball,

this is wheelchair basketball Italian style. Ian Sagar is about

abroad cheered on by a sell-out crowd in the semifinals of the Cobra

Italia. It's a great experience. The reason I've come out and played in

Italy, the league is so strong, it's not like I'm a disabled person

playing sport but an athlete playing sport. Who happens to be disabled.

It's such a rough to leak which suits me down to the ground. You

have got to mix it with the best players in the world just to see

where you are failing and to improve your game. You can't get better

without being challenged. You got a sporting family here. Definitely. I

think it's a good thing. Would you thought at 31 you would be in Italy

with your family playing professional basketball? It's life,

I can see me doing this for the long run, really. Now I'm here in this

situation, I wouldn't give it up for the world. It's a lively couldn't

have imagined after breaking his back 15 years ago. One I had a

motorbike accident, I was in hospital for four months. The first

time you get above the three month what they really want your stomach

so they push you run the hospital on the trolley, and I looked over

sports all through the windows and there were some guys playing

wheelchair basketball and I thought, I want to have a go of that. The

club's biggest fan and president witnessed a trouble winning season

last year. But success on the world stage is still Ian Sagar's

motivation of the great Britain's fourth finish at the Paralympics. To

just miss out narrowly, it's heartbreaking. Although it was the

best experience of my life. It is one of the worst. To miss out on a

medal. Can you win the Italian league? Hopefully so. We are

defending champions. As defending champions, we want to keep the

title, keep the cup. Cup final day and Ian is an exemplary form but

against a more clinical apparent, there were not able to match their

opponents and they conceded the title. They were just better. They

are going to get you at the end of the day. Unfortunately, they have

just fallen short are today. The Italian job is still very much a

work in progress. Now they're going the world Championship glory. And,

for the man living history and, a medal in Korea would be the icing on

the cake. That's just about it for Saturday Sportsday. Let's just bring

you up to date with the two football matches going on this lunchtime. At

Old Trafford, the banner was spotted over Old Trafford. A few disgruntled

Manchester United fans even more disgruntled now because Aston Villa

have taken the lead through Westwood. 1-0. What pressure on

David Moyes there. In the Championship, Leicester are leading

Burnley 1-0. First against second. That is it from all of us. Goodbye.
