Rugby league returns to St James Park for the second successive year, with six matches taking place across Saturday and Sunday, and you can watch every minute live on Sky Sports. Weve rounded up the best efforts from all the Magic Weekends and are now putting it to you to pick your favourite. Watch the videos below to see the contenders - including Justin Carneys efforts in 2014 and Jarrod Sammuts stunner back in 2010 - then vote in the poll below... No 1: David Hodgsons winner for Hull KR We look back at David Hodgsons match-winning try for Hull KR against Hull FC in 2012 Hull KR were running out of time at the Etihad Stadium back in 2012 against their fierce rivals Hull FC. The Rovers started the last set of the games almost under their posts and some lovely offloading and quick hands gave Hodgson the space to show his pace and go over in the corner to clinch the win. No 2: Jordan Tanseys controversial try Take a look at Jordan Tanseys controversial try for Leeds against Bradford in 2007 With Bradford leading 38-36 in 2007, and less than a minute to play, referee Steve Ganson awarded a penalty to Leeds for offside. Kevin Sinfield lined up 40 metres out on the left touchline and let fly. The kick looked good before falling just short, eventually hitting the bar - but Jordan Tansey followed up and touched down. Despite Tansey being in front of the kicker, the four-pointer was awarded. Cue pandemonium, and a Sinfield cartwheel to boot!No 3: Sleight of hand from Sam Tomkins Watch Sam Tomkins try for Wigan v Saints in 2012 Wigan were in fine form in their Magic Weekend clash with fierce rivals St Helens in 2012 and were 16-0 up after 20 minutes - and it only got worse for Saints. Full-back Tomkins took the ball just on the half-way line, and threw it up as if he was going to pass to Harrison Hansen, who was coming in at pace on the inside. However, it was misdirection of the highest order as Tomkins regathered and then turned on the afterburners to cut through Wigans defence and score in the corner. No 4: McGillvary and Brough deny Dragons Watch Huddersfields stunning late show against Catalans in 2015 Jermaine McGillvary and Danny Brough snatched a dramatic 22-22 draw for Huddersfield against Catalans at the 2015 Magic Weekend. The Giants kept the ball alive before working it out wide to McGillvary, who used his pace and power to touch down in the corner, with Brough nailing the touchline conversion.No 5: Joe Burgess races 60m to score for Wigan Watch Joe Burgess try for Wigan against Leeds in 2015 Warriors full-back Matty Bowen had a storming game against Leeds in 2015 and was named man of the match for his performance, which included a brace of tries. He also set up this blinder for Burgess - after fielding a kick deep in his half, he passed to Burgess who cut inside the Rhinos defence to score. No 6: Sammuts stunner for Crusaders Watch Jarrod Sammuts try in the Crusaders win over Bradford in 2010 Jarrod Sammut shows great hands and kicking skills to score a fantastic try in the Celtic Crusaders 19-0 win over Bradford Bulls at Murrayfield in 2010.No 7: Adrian Morley scores for Warrington Take a look back at Adrian Morleys try for Warrington against St Helens in 2013 Back in 2013, Warrington produced a superb performance to beat St Helens 48-22 at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester. One of the tries of the game was when Adrian Morley scored a cracking effort after a break from Mickey Higham.No 8: Graham Beecroft gets soaked Watch Graham Beecroft get a soaking during an interview with Widnes skipper Kevin Brown in 2014 The moment Graham Beecroft got a soaking in 2014, during an interview with Widnes skipper Kevin Brown after the Vikings had beaten Salford 30-24.No 9: The Tank on the Flank Watch Castlefords Justin Carney power over for a try against Wakefield in 2014 Castlefords Justin Carney displayed incredible strength to fight off four Wakefield defenders and score at the 2014 Magic Weeeknd. The Tigers winger finished with two tries as Cas ran out 50-12 victors.No 10: McGuires five-star showDanny McGuire scored an incredible five tries as Leeds maintained their unbeaten record at Magic Weekend with a 37-22 victory over Bradford Bulls at Manchesters Etihad Stadium in 2012.

It is little over a year since R Ashwin went in to rescue Indias innings against South Africa in Delhi, while his hometown Chennai was ravaged by flood. His wife was trying unsuccessfully to get in touch with his parents, who were stranded, and he was feeling helpless, away from his beloved city and unable to help in its hour of need.Now, even as Ashwins side sealed another emphatic series win, cyclone Vardah hit Chennai, leaving in its wake destruction visible through felled trees, broken houses and uprooted electricity poles. This time, Ashwin and his team can help, in their own way.A Test match begins on Friday. We tend to attach too much meaning to sport at times, but the successful hosting of this Test will mean a bit of a return to normalcy. Nothing represents normalcy in Chennai more than getting off at Chepauk train station and walking into MA Chidambaram Stadium for a Test match.Two days out, inside the stadium, the groundstaff works hard to make that happen. Inside the groundsmens shed, PR Viswanathan, BCCIs south zone curator and formerly MA Chidambaram Stadiums own, directs traffic. In a cart next to him lie two trays full of burning coal that have just been used to dry the pitch. They were kept on stumps so as to not burn the pitch.This is not the most unnatural drying act Viswanathan has overseen. Last year, in Bangalore, he put up a tent and used an actual iron and hair dryer to get the pitch ready during incessant rains. Sanjay Bangar, the India batting coach, will remember how in 2002-03 Viswanathan poured diesel on the bowlers run-up and burnt it to make sure it dried out in time for the Test against West Indies. India won by eight wickets.Five years ago, Viswanathan rolled out an admittedly ordinary surface for the Ranji Trophy final between Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan. Rajasthan scored 621 runs, and took away the title. That was the last pitch he prepared at the Chidambaram Stadium. His father played in the first-ever Ranji Trophy match, which ended in one day; he says he will take to his grave the regret of a match that looked good to last 10 days.Of all the gin joints in all the towns, Viswanathan is back at Chidambaram Stadium at a time of crisis. Quite possibly for one last time. He doesnt want to hang on for too long; he wants youngsters - better trained scientifically - to take over, but what redemption it will be for him if he can stage a successful Test in such trying circumstances.Viswanathan, who was once a seam bowler who spent four matches with the Tamil Nadu squad without making the XI, has the support of a brave and committed groundstaff. They are the people who do all the hard work, he says. The people who come up with improvisations before the chief curator can. The people who sat through the cyclone on Monday to make sure the covers stayed in place.Gates fell, roofs were torn, sight screens were ravaged, bulbs flew out of the flood lights, but these can all be repaired. The playing surface, though, had to be protected. The practice pitches were uncovered and the damage was such that they were unfit for training and will allow for only a few throwdowns, if at all, before the match.Thanks to the groundstaffs bravery through the cyclone, and the modern drainage system, this is not even the biggest crisis Chidambaram stadium has gone through. The sight screens are erected and floodlights repaired through the day.The groundstaffs shed is an oasis in the harsh Chennai sun. Their 25 lockers are adoorned with images and cut-outs of gods and goddesses.dddddddddddd A trunk and a rich blue cabinet stand at the other end. Statues and photos of more gods and goddesses sit there. Just before the Visakhapatnam Test earlier in the series, the groundstaff worshipped the pitch. Viswanathan says this groundstaff also does its best and then leaves the rest to the gods. And they carry out their worship at such early hours that you wont even notice. You are not in control once the match starts, he says.Behind the shed, Vairamuthu, in his 50s, guards the deserted practice pitches. The only thing they might now be used for is a fitness test for Stuart Broad; you can bowl on them but batting can be unsafe. During the cyclone, a neighbours roof fell onto his house. Some things are more important than a fitness test, but it is also important to get back on your feet. Vairamuthu is on his feet. Not on his feet is Baskaran the cobbler, who sits cross-legged 50 metres past the Pattabhiraman Gate. Past trees fallen outside. Past the posters of Jayalalithaa handing a yellow flower to friend Sasikala, which have suddenly emerged in the week after the death of the iconic chief minister, a symbol of moving on, of handing over the reins.Baskaran sits on a plastic mat, tattered cricket gloves at one side and his photo with Sachin Tendulkar on the other. He claims to be a specialist in emergency repair on cricket equipment, especially those that need stitching. He began doing this for local matches, and over time he has become almost a dressing room attendant. The last time he was required in an international match was when MS Dhonis pads needed a quick fix.After the Test, Baskaran will go back to fixing shoes of the common public, but right now the cyclone and the destruction dont matter. He is there is his place - maybe 50 metres to the left because of fallen trees.Over at Chemplast Cricket Ground in the IIT Madras campus, Vijay wouldnt move from his place despite a landfall. He lives in the pavilion-style structure with his three hounds - rescued street dogs Andy, Laddoo and Prabhu Deva.Vijay sat in his veranda through the cyclone, looking at the beloved ground he takes care of, safe in the knowledge that there were no trees around it or tall structures that could fall. On Wednesday morning, at around 7am, he received a call from his employers if he could get the ground ready by 4pm. No other cricket ground in the city was available, and England needed one for Broad, who has been out with a foot injury, to run in and a pitch for him to bowl on. Vijay felt this was the least he could do two days before a Test. Perhaps the England team will understand and do without training, but somehow he had to help with the fitness test.Vijay got down to the job, and at 4pm, out came England bowling coach Ottis Gibson and Broad, in a tempo traveller. Andy, Laddoo and Prabhu Deva are on guard as Broad bowls 36 deliveries in his fitness test. They both leave happy, hoping they can get such a damp pitch offering seam and uneven bounce for the Test too. They have been away from home for close to two months, they have not won anything on this tour, which makes you miss friendlier environs even more. Before they leave, though, they - along with the Indian team - have one final act left: help a ravaged city attain a semblance of normalcy. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
