Things We Loved From the Weekend: 24-26 January
Another beautiful weekend of sport is complete, so the BET Central office selected the best moments of the weekend.
Quinton de Kock became the quickest to 200 Test dismissals, reaching the milestone one match fewer than Aussie legend Adam Gilchrist.
De Kock is also the second South African to achieve this, after current Proteas head coach Mark Boucher, who sits on top of the overall list of most dismissals by a wicket-keeper with a jawdropping 555.

Shrewsbury came back from two goals down in their FA Cup tie against European and World champions Liverpool. They forced a replay at Anfield where the 16th place League One club will have another crack at The Reds.

“I can’t believe Jurgen Klopp won’t take charge of the team and the youth team will be playing. I’m really disappointed.”
Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool’s first team won’t feature in their replay with Shrewsbury.
