"Calling it a clinical demolition of the tail would undersell him: with 4-2 in the space of seven ruthlessly full and straight deliveries, Mitchell Starc took his 20th Test five-wicket haul and finished with 6-72 from 16.3 overs."

Mitchell Starc's figures were 0/62. He then grabbed the new ball and took six wickets for 10 runs... what a bowler he is! 🔥 Hear every ball of Australia's tour of South Africa, live and ad free, on ABC listen: ab.co/ABClisten #RSAvAUS

"Don't watch the first two hours!" That's Mitchell Starc's advice to Aussies waking up this morning!

If this was Shakespeare, it’s the opening act of a play which ends with the demise of a once mighty triumvirate.

First time Australia have made four changes from one Test to the next in series was 2018. It came following the Cape Town Test to Jo’Burg. @abcsport

After eight years behind the mic, Ed Cowan has played his final innings as co-host of the ABC Cricket Podcast, before stepping up to the Cricket Australia board. To send Teddy off in style, Corbin and the team asked listeners to send in personal messages, then played them for him as a surprise during his last episode with us. Here’s how he reacted after hearing your messages. Thanks Teddy, and go well, mate. Hear your messages to Ed, plus the rest of his final ABC Cricket Podcast episode: ab.co/4sz8dxa

Finally @brisbanelions get to play at @TheAdelaideOval in Gather Round. It’s been a blight on the carnival round that the premiers have been shunted elsewhere until now. A logical and fitting way to start the weekend .. Thursday night v Crows

The Wallabies are coming to the MCG! The Wallabies will play New Zealand at the MCG in both 2027 and 2029 under a deal between Rugby Australia and the Victorian government. There is no confirmation that the Bledisloe Cup will permanently expand to a three-game series, but the Test in 2029 will be an additional game in the series.

Needing 242 to win, Pakistan were 9/154. 89 runs later, England was defeated, Shadab Khan had an ODI ton, and a record 10th wicket partnership had carried them to victory. "The last game was, the boys were gutted after that, and you look in the dressing room now, they're also extremely gutted now," said England coach Brendon McCullum.

Batting with a runner can take some getting used to, and when you're the last batter in the line-up, trying to hold out for a draw, there's no small amount of pressure. But Joel Curtis and and injured Joel Paris managed it for WA in the Shield this week, what an effort! Hear Summer Grandstand, live and ad-free, on ABC listen: ab.co/ABClisten

Socceroo Jackson Irvine told us he's loving life at his new club in Japan, although he may need to tone down the physicality, just a tad! Four bookings in his last six games! 😅 Hear Summer Grandstand, live and ad-free, on ABC listen: ab.co/ABClisten
Irvine smiles, with a stern tackle of his pictured, with his quote: "I think the threshold of what constitutes a booking is slightly less than I’m used to … I’ll never lose that physical edge to my game, that’s what makes me what I am, but you need to find your moments … You don’t want to be suspended every ten games!"
