Holder was named to lead the squad in the five ODIs in South Africa starting on 16 January, after the three Tests and three er, a fast-bowling all-rounder, has played 21 ODIs since his debut in February 2013 in Australia. “We expect him to be around for a very long time,” said Clive Lloyd, the chairman of selectors. “He has a very good cricketing brain and has the makings of a very good leader. The selectors decided that now is the time to make the transition, and Jason will have people around him to help and guide him. Some might say it’s close to the time of next year’s Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, but we know that we have a good one-day team which can do very well.”Holder was 23 last month and his most recent ODI was the fourth in India in October, after which West Indies quit the tour in a contract dispute with the national board and players’ union. Bravo captained that team and was the figurehead in the players’ strike in India. He also was involved in resolving the dispute back in the Caribbean.

 On reflection, Michael Carrick concedes there was an air of inevitability about Manchester United's stumble and fall as they took their first steps without Sir Alex Ferguson. It had all been so nike roshe runs cheap good, for so long, that, when the nike air max 90 womens shock therapy came, the realisation that everything would be different simply took too long to sink in. "At some point, it had to come, didn't it?" Carrick said. "Whether it was straight after he (Ferguson) left or further down the road, there was going to be some point in time when we wouldn't be going into the final couple of weeks aiming to win the league. "It was always going to be hard when the boss left. Everyone was waiting to see how it would go and that's how it went. Now, it is all nike roshe run about trying to get back to where we were." When United travel to Aston Villa on Saturday, they will do so with the dark clouds of the last 12 months having been lifted in recent weeks by the six-game winning streak overseen by Louis van Gaal, the man charged with repairing the damage inflicted during David Moyes' traumatic eleven-month reign as manager. Under Van Gaal, United sit in third position, eight points adrift of nike roshe run 2014 womens leaders Chelsea, but with the old self-confidence and swagger returning to the team.

Thanks to the efforts of our shore team, and Team New Zealand who kindly lent us some rudders, we only missed two races.

Chris Denning took boys to watch Top of the Pops recordings and introduced them to celebrities including Jimmy Savile. Photograph: Michael Stephens/PA The former Radio 1 DJ Chris Denning “used the allure of the record industry and celebrity” to sexually assault 24 boys as young as 10 nike free water cube – including one allegedly at Jimmy Savile’s house. Denning, 73, one of the founding presenters on the flagship station, used drink and drugs including ecstasy to groom his young victims. He is due to be sentenced on Tuesday for sex attacks on 24 boys as young as 10 after admitting 40 assaults over 20 years. He took young boys to watch Top of the Pops recordings and introduced them to a string of nike roshe run mens stars, including the disgraced late DJ Savile. The prolific paedophile began abusing the boys in 1967 – the same year he was unveiled as one of the founding DJs at Radio 1. He moved to Dorset in the 1970s, where he opened a computer games shop and used the “exceptionally exciting” technology to prey on boys and abuse them. Neil Moore, prosecuting, told Southwark crown court in London: “The defendant used the allure first of the record industry and celebrity, and then the world of computer games, to entice boys into his company. “He spoke to them about nike air max 2014 his career and the celebrities of the moment he knew. He offered them cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, bought them gifts and gave them money. “He gave them access to pornographic material and gave them the means to do what they wanted in order to groom them. He took them to meals and took them to celebrity parties. “He would introduce them gradually to sexual material by suggesting sexual experimentation is natural. He would then move to sexually abuse them. “Often a number of boys would be present at his home at the same time. And on a number of occasions he took pictures and videos of the boys. “He always seemed to satisfy the parents that his motives were good and sound rather than indecent, as they were.” Moore described how Denning sexually assaulted dozens of boys over the next 20 years while at the height of his fame. One of his teenage victims told how Denning took him back to his home which was an “Aladdin’s Cave” of pornography. Moore told how Denning singled out his victims at discos, skateparks and youth centres. He boasted of his “huge record collection” and asked many of the boys back to his house to help catalogue them. His victims thought Denning was kind and “charismatic”, but soon the abuse would begin. Moore said Denning took one boy, aged 12 to 14, to watch Top of the Pops before repeatedly abusing him at his home. He said: “He described being given alcohol and said initially he found it exciting and mesmerising because the defendant would talk about all the famous people he knew, such as Jimmy Savile. “He would also take them out for meals and concerts and took them to a studio to see filmings of Top of the Pops.” Other victims told how they were taken to celebrity parties, where they met Savile and the music mogul Jonathan King, both of whom have since been unmasked as sex offenders. One of his victims was 14 or 15 when he was abused by Denning. He said it happened at Savile’s home – although Savile is not said to have been involved. Denning has admitted a total of 40 assaults over 20 years. He pleaded guilty to 36 counts of indecent assault on a male and four indecent assaults on a child. He has a string of convictions for sex offences on boys. The case was brought under Operation Yewtree, the police inquiry set up in the wake of the Savile scandal. Denning, of Basildon in Essex, wore a hearing nike free everyday loop and stared at his victims and their families, who had travelled from all over the country to see justice done, as he walked into the dock. The hearing continues. • This article was amended on 16 December 2014. It originally stated the boys were as young as nine. The youngest victim was 10. This has been corrected.
