Peter V’landys had confirmed Zac Lomax and Ryan Papenhuyzen are welcome to return to NRL, after R360’s planned 2026 launch was abandoned. Says they were “victims of the mirage”, and it’s no surprise the rebel league won’t take off in 2026. On AAP #NRL aapnews.aap.com.au/a/qZPBotlq

"As I landed, I thought, 'Oh no. Please, you're good, it's just mind over matter'." Usman Khawaja has given an insight into his experience with back spasms during the chaotic first Test out west. cricket.com.au/news/4410982/k…

Usman Khawaja OUT of Gabba Test. Has failed to overcome back injury. Big questions now on where that leaves his Test career. @jasperbruce3 on AAP.

Huge first hour for Australia now after dropping Nathan Lyon and then losing toss and being made to bowl. Lyon so important in daytime hours of pink-ball Tests. Bowls most balls per Test of any Australian in day-night matches. Also equal-second leading wicket-taker. #Ashes

An underrated consequence of not picking Nathan Lyon at the Gabba could be the impact on overrates. Australia have no one to catch up time with, and at this rate won’t get the new ball under lights tonight. In theory, they should have 10. That would be a big miss. #Ashes

Big first six overs for Australia tomorrow. If they dismiss England before end of 80th over, no fines or Test Championship penalties for overrates. If they don’t, points penalty could be significant. Just 74 bowled today in 6.5 hours, meant to be 90 in 6 hours. #Ashes

In sight of the greatest fourth-innings chase in Test history, Kemar Roach had got to 53no and then decided to play for the draw and face 70 straight dot balls. What an absolute buzz kill. #NZvWI

Of the many issues that come with Australia batting out that session, the "Mitchell Starc has runs factor" is a particularly bad 'un imo. Starc's bowling average falls from (a pretty ruddy good) 26.43 to (a very ominous) 21.89 when he scores >20 runs in an innings 😭

The most fascinating thing of this Ashes series has been the way the tide has turned on Bazball. In 2023 it was like most of England was brainwashed into believing it was beyond reproach and careless dismissals were all part of it. Now look at the comments on this. #Ashes

Didn’t agree with decision to leave Nathan Lyon out in Jamaica or Brisbane. But the men who replaced him have now taken a hat-trick and a five-wicket haul in those two Tests. Hard to argue against the Australian selectors in the end. #Ashes

BREAKING: Shane Richardson has resigned as Wests Tigers CEO, told staff this morning. Tony Mestrov’s name floated as a replacement, but former Central Coast Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp also looks a likely option. On AAP aapnews.aap.com.au/a/RlzAJcEr
