Jack Sears, who passed away on 7 August, may appear to have had little connection with Formula One. But apart from being an outstanding driver and heavily involved with Silverstone and the British Racing Drivers Club, the tall, urbane Englishman left a lasting impression on anyone attending the 1964 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.A former British Saloon Car Champion in cars ranging from a humble Austin Westminster to a monstrous 7-litre Ford Galaxie, Sears could turn his hand to anything. He will be remembered for testing an AC Cobra Coupé for the 1964 Le Mans 24 Hours by clocking 185 mph at an early hour on the M1 motorway. The maximum speed limit may not yet have been introduced but the story made headlines in the national newspapers.Sears was at the wheel of a 4.7-litre Cobra 289 for the Ilford Films Trophy for Grand Touring Cars, a support race on the morning of the Grand Prix. The similar Cobra of Bob Olthoff should have been on the front row but the South African was a non-starter.Having qualified on the second row and assuming the grid would shuffle forward to fill the vacant space, Sears took up position on the outside of the front row alongside Jackie Stewarts Jaguar E-Type and David Pipers Ferrari GTO. There was a heated discussion with a marshal but, when the race started, everyone - Sears included -- assumed the matter had been resolved.The officials had other ideas and held out the black flag. Sears, thinking there was something wrong with his car, dutifully stopped in the pits, only to discover that he had been called in for a dressing down by the Clerk of the Course. The officials felt Sears had, in effect, jumped the start and the pit visit was seen as a form of penalty. Besides, it was thought this might add interest to the race. It did.Absolutely incensed, the normally affable Norfolk farmer - affectionately known as Gentleman Jack -- floored the throttle of his mighty machine, shaking his fist as he went, the Cobra leaving a trail of rubber as he powered towards Paddock Hill Bend. In case officials were in any doubt about Sears opinion of their judgement, he shook his fist again at the end of the next lap.Now began an extraordinary demonstration of barely controlled fury. It is probably fair to say that neither before nor since has an AC Cobra been hurled round the Brands Grand Prix circuit with such spine-tingling vigour. Those who witnessed it still talk about the sight of that bellowing V8 as Sears, headlights blazing in symphony with the mood of the driver, began to storm through the field.The drama was not confined to the track. A fracas ensued in the pits as John Willment, the entrant of the Cobra and a man of muscular disposition, grabbed the Clerk of the Course by the collar and shoved him into a flowerbed.Sears, meanwhile, was proving to be an equally irresistible force as the red car with white stripes thundered its way around the track. Nothing would stop him on this day, not even Stewarts leading E-Type. The entire place was on its feet as Sears, cheered to the echo, won by 4.2 seconds.After such an epic performance, the Grand Prix for 1.5-litre cars was bound to seem rather tame.Chuck Harris Jersey .

The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage.

They reached the quarter-finals of the 2011 World Cup, but since then have not made an impression, embarrassingly bundled out of last years World Cup at the group stage.Of the 15 men on duty in India, six are contesting their first major tournament and just six others were at the last World Cup. Nick Knights Group 1 guide Who are England up against in India? I think this feels different, Morgan said on the eve of match. Weve a different group of players. Its a new energy.Its an exciting time for English cricket given the talent that we have in our group, and the attitude in taking the game to the opposition. It certainly feels different in that regard. England will be looking to get their World T20 campaign off with a win when they face the West Indies on Wednesday Were a developing side, a young side, and I think the more experience that we gain the smarter the cricket well play. I think in this tournament playing an aggressive brand of cricket and being brave, but playing smart cricket along the way, is part and parcel of it.Ten shirts appear to be accounted for in Englands first-choice XI, with the only debate seemingly between Yorkshire pair Liam Plunkett and David Willey for the final seamers slot. David Willey got a hat-trick against his England team-mates as he played for a Mumbai team to get some practice Plunkett was preferred for the warm-up win over New Zealand, conceding 19 runs off one disappointing over, while Willey took a hat-trick against his own team when he was inserted into a local Mumbai XI.ddddddddddddou can keep guessing, Morgan said. Plunkett is an important player in the squad, with his extra bit of height and different trajectory to everyone else.Wills swings it up front, comes back into middle and bowls change-ups. He has a canny knack of taking wickets and thats something weve struggled doing for a while. Thats one of his strengths. Liam Plunkett is vying with Willey for a place in England team Whoever earns the nod will know they face some explosive players in the West Indies line-up, with Chris Gayle, Andre Russell and Darren Sammy all capable of brutal hitting.They have a number of dangerous players, the West Indies have been a strong side in the past, he said of the 2012 winners. They have a number of individual players who are very strong. But its important for us as a young talented side to focus on what we do best. Chris Gayle has a T20 international strike-rate of 142.59 The first game is a tough game, but certainly its not the be all and end all. Its not about getting out of the traps early and playing your best game first up. Its about pacing yourself, picking up confidence and putting in performances when they really matter.Sky Sports is the only place you can watch all 35 games in 27 days of the 2016 ICC World T20.
