| Cricket-India still winless overseas, but Dhoni sees improvement Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014 07:59 PM PST By Greg Stutchbury WELLINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Mahendra Singh Dhoni's India left New Zealand still seeking an overseas test victory after more than two and a half years' frustration on tour. New Zealand won the test series 1-0 on Tuesday after the second match at the Basin Reserve ended in a draw highlighted by captain Brendon McCullum's triple century. India have not won a test overseas since June 2011, when they beat West Indies in the first match in Jamaica and clinched the series after the next two games were drawn. They have since lost nine and drawn two of their 11 overseas matches and with a team in transition after the retirement of greats Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, are struggling to find consistency on foreign shores.

| Cricket-Watson's selection no longer elementary for Australia Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014 07:26 PM PST By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Feb 19 (Reuters) - The perennial fitness battles of Shane Watson are likely to rule the all-rounder out of Australia's second test against South Africa. Watson's unique ability to hog the spotlight whether playing or languishing injured on the sidelines may be unmatched in test cricket, but another win for Australia in Port Elizabeth could put the 32-year-old's career at a cross-roads. Struggling to recover from yet another calf injury, Watson trained apart from the team on Tuesday. One of the game's great survivors, the barrel-chested Queenslander has clawed his way back into the team after each breakdown, but his place in Michael Clarke's team has rarely seemed so precarious.

| Running takes the exotic route in Asia Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014 07:25 PM PST By Saikat Chatterjee HONG KONG, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Out for a jog one day in the sleepy Laotian town of Luang Prabang, Michael Gilmore got an idea. He had just run a half-marathon at the temple ruins of Angkor Wat in neighbouring Cambodia, so why not set up something similar in Laos? After months of work to woo sponsors, about 400 runners assembled in a narrow street opposite the royal palace last October for the first half-marathon in Luang Prabang. "Destination races are catching on quickly in Asia, as organisers realise it just takes an extra marginal shift to get more people to a new place," said Gilmore, a British national who works in equity sales at HSBC in Singapore.

| Rugby-McCaw mulling retirement after 2015 World Cup - reports Tuesday, Feb 18, 2014 07:09 PM PST All Blacks captain Richie McCaw is contemplating retiring from rugby following the 2015 World Cup in England, local media reported on Wednesday. The 33-year-old flanker led the All Blacks to their second Webb Ellis trophy in 2011 and took a six-month sabbatical from rugby last year to boost his chances of being fit for the 2015 tournament. McCaw has played 124 test matches for the All Blacks since making his debut in 2001 and is considered one of the all-time greats in New Zealand's national game, but said he was uncertain if he would even make Steve Hansen's World Cup squad. McCaw did not pursue a lucrative short-term contract when he was granted the sabbatical by the New Zealand Rugby Union and has said in the past he was not interested in playing rugby offshore.
