Aayan Afzal Khan was only four when he was rejected by a sports academy for being too small for professional cricket training. On Friday evening, he led the UAE to their biggest victory in cricket history. Skipper Aayan was inspirational as the UAE pulled off a shock win over Pakistan in the Under-19 Asia Cup semifinals in Dubai.

There aren’t many original movies coming to Netflix in the last few weeks of the year, but there’s at least one more big family film: Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, a sequel nearly a quarter century in the making. We suspect that this film will soon be near the top of the most popular movies on Netflix. In the meantime, the post-apocalyptic adventure, Love and Monsters, has proven to be a strong contender on Netflix as well. It’s even outperforming The Super Mario Bros.
