“It was a different ball game than the Ashes,” Anderson told M.E.N. Sport.

“In Australia, the red ball was swinging but in India the pitches were flat and the white ball wasn’t doing as much. I found it tough and in a competition like the World Cup if you are not on top of your game you get found out, and I got punished.

“I couldn’t argue when I was left out. I hadn’t done anything to keep my place, I wasn’t bowling well.

Rooney has been constantly in the headlines in the last six weeks for various reasons, with the good stories including seven goals in his last eight games in all competitions.

However, what looked like a deliberate elbow on Wigan’s James McCarthy sparked some outrage and then some foul language in front of a camera when scoring a hat-trick against West Ham led to a two-game ban.

Schmeichel told Ekstra Bladet: “It would be good for him to play for another club. Real Madrid under Mourinho, is someone that could handle him and get the best out of him.

“It is painful to say that that the best player you have, which he is at United, he is better off trying something new. United will probably not sell him to another English club, but a change of scenery would help.”

Rooney was forced to sit out of Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Fulham, with the victory maintaining their seven-point advantage at the top of the table.

Manchester United are now 1/7 in the Premier League odds, but their first immediate focus will be ensuring their qualification to the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Chelsea, with Rooney able to take part in the second leg.

He said moments in Back And Forth, screened in 165 cinemas across the UK tonight (7 April), made him feel “incredibly uncomfortable”. It charts Grohl’s time in Nirvana to the formation of Foo Fighters up until the recording of their recent album Wasting Light, released on 12 April.

The film shows the near death of drummer Taylor Hawkins back in 2001. Hawkins, who has expressed his discomfort at the film being released, spent two days in a coma following an overdose from painkillers.

“I watched the movie first before the band did,” said Dave Grohl, speaking in February. “I asked to watch it before the band did because I didn’t want it to break up our band.”

On a personal note Grohl said the most difficult footage for him to watch was where he binned the recordings made by Foo Fighters original drummer William Goldsmith for second album The Colour And Shape and rerecorded them himself.

“It was brutal,” admitted Grohl. “That part made me incredibly uncomfortable. I told everybody, ‘There’s going to be something for each one of you in this movie that will make you feel incredibly uncomfortable.’

“I think that’s good because it means we’re telling the true story.”

The film plays in cinemas in the UK tonight.

He told UK daytime TV show ‘Loose Women’: “Johnny Depp acts like a pirate; I am a pirate and I’ve always been a pirate. He does a good job, but when he gets a bit tired I think I’ll have a crack at that, I’d love to.”

While he is keen to appear on the big stage, Adam is currently concentrating on his music career and will soon be doing his first tour for 15 years.

The musician – who has made no secret of his personal struggles in the past, including a battle with anti-depressants – says he is confident he has put his problems behind him and put on a good show.

He said: “I think the physical side of things – my hero was Muhammad Ali, and he was a sportsman so the idea is…I’ve never taken drugs – that’s the only reason I can do anything. Because I think that’s the biggest problem in my business, in entertainment business in general. And because there’s so much boredom; two hours on stage, twenty-two hours of getting in trouble. But I’ve always liked the work and the work is its own reward for me.”

During her visit to European Organisation for Nuclear Research – known as CERN, where the Collider, a high energy particle accelerator is based – Katie chatted to Buzz about the possibilities of performing either on the moon or in a space ship.

She also performed three songs for the staff, ‘Nine Million Bicycles’, ‘I Cried For You’, and a new track called ‘Walk Lightly On The World’, which has been penned especially for Opel/Vauxhall’s green campaign, for which Katie is the brand ambassador.

Katie, 26, is no stranger to performing in unusual places, as in 2006, she set the world record for the deepest concert when she played at the bottom of the North Sea.

The singer underwent extensive medical tests and survival training in Norway before she was allowed to sing for workers on the Statoil Troll A gas rig, which is 303 metres below sea level.

She said at the time: “This was definitely the most surreal gig I have ever done. It took nine minutes to go from the main part of the gas platform down to the bottom of the shaft in a lift.

“Giving a concert to the workers there was something really extraordinary and an occasion that I will remember all my life.”

Other artists who have expressed an interest in performing in space include rockers Muse and ZZ Top.

Reynolds told The Daily Star: “The Adam Ant project is my first step into the film business. I’ve got no experience of making films but I really wanted to get involved in it and I may do more. I’m helping produce it and will get more involved as it nears completion. Adam is sounding great. I hadn’t seen him perform until last week when he announced his first tour and he’s back on form.”

Ant told the tabloid that Reynolds has also invested in the documentary.

Barker said that recording sessions are going well, yet admitted it is “hard to say” how far into the process the band are.

“The sound of the record I think will be kind of the same stuff as past Blink albums, so it won’t be anything that people will be shocked by, what we’re writing in the studio at the moment. If I was to disconnect myself from it and kind of take myself out of it and be a fan, it feels like songs that have progressed from the last album.”

The group, completed by Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, reunited in 2009 following a five-year hiatus.

The album will be the band’s first release since 2003′s Blink-182.

Blink 182 tickets are available online

He told website Spinner.com: “I never wrote on an acoustic guitar before. I bought the guitar about four years ago. I had old, crappy nylon string ones before. But I bought this guitar, fell in love with it and fell in love with playing it as I wrote for the new record. It was really just fun. I’d sit around with friends, drink wine and just keep playing, playing, playing.”

Singer Alison has previously admitted the group’s methods for writing songs is unorthodox, with her and Jamie working largely independently of each other.

She explained: “The way we both write songs is, we’re in the same place, but we’re both in different rooms where we can’t hear each other, writing at the same time. Then we meet up and play each other what we’re doing, and then there’s a response.”

Jamie has also admitted that the recording of ‘Blood Pressures’ – the band’s first album for three years – was delayed by Alison’s commitment to her other band, but said it was worth it because of how it boosted her confidence.

He said: “I really noticed the change in her voice when she came back off tour with The Dead Weather. It had become so strong. There was more confidence there.”

Alexx – who has been playing drums since he was eight – had wanted to meet Ringo for several years, and last year his family approached the charity to try and grant him his wish.

His father Charles Kipp said: “Alexx came to me one morning and he said, ‘Dad, I had a dream last night and I met Ringo.’

“This was before we knew it was going to happen. About a week later we got the call. I told him, ‘It looks like your dream came true.’ ”

Alexx’s next goal is to learn the Beatles hit ‘I Am The Walrus’ and he was given some advice by Ringo.

According to the Los Angeles Times newspaper, Ringo told him: “I get the easy bit. I come, I say hi, we hang out, we have a bit of fun.

“In the band I was in, we knew when we’d done the take, because it just feels good. It’s like golf: When you hit that ball right, you know. You feel it – you feel the connection. And connecting is good.”

The musical legend also spoke about his ongoing involvement with the Make-A-Wish Foundation – who accept requests from children with life-threatening illnesses and try and make them happen – admitting it gives him a different perspective on life.

He said: “It’s huge. It puts you in your place. You think you’ve got a cold – you’re all, ‘Oh, what about me?’ Then you help these kids. You think of the families. I’ve got children too, and it’s got to be hard.”

Ringo has designed a T-shirt which will be sold throughout Hard Rock International locations, with proceeds benefiting his Lotus Foundation, which directly supports Make-A-Wish.
