Aussie Cricket Squad for Tour of Sri Lanka-by Tony Harper Source:Thuppahis Steve Smith will lead the Australian cricket squad for the two Test tour of Sri Lanka while Pat Cummins is on paternity leave and focusing on an ankle issue which he endured through the series win over India. Josh Hazlewood misses out with his calf injury while Mitchell Marsh was omitted, with both focussing on the Champion’s Trophy which immediately follows the Sri Lanka tour. There was also no room for Peter Handscomb, Glenn Maxwell or Adam Zampa who had all harboured outside hopes of a call-up. There is a first Test squad call up for all-rounder Cooper Connolly who bowls left-arm spin and can potentially slot into the No.6 position as the Australian team starts planning for Nathan Lyon’s eventual retirement.

Warner fails after two lives in rain shortened second day. – By TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Australia limped to 106 for 2 off 47 overs when bad light followed by rain, brought a halt to the second day’s play which was subsequently abandoned. David Warner playing his last Test, survived two lives but was unable to capitalise on his good fortune to be snapped up at first slip for 34. A clearly disappointed Warner left the SCG to a standing ovation from the 30,000 plus crowd. His close buddy and opening partner for many years, Usman Khawaja figured in their 22nd 50 run partnership before Warner departed. Khawaja who has had tremendous success at the SCG appeared set for a half century until Pakistan’s batting hero Aamir Jamal bowling with venom, forced him to edge one to the slips for a painstaking 47. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith ...

Australia’s bowlers stifle Pakistan fightback. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Australia’s bowlers suffocated and finally extricated Pakistan’s remaining eight wickets to put them in the box seat in a see- sawing third day’s play. Stung by being bowled out for 271, continuing from 132 for two overnight, Pakistan’s bowlers sent shock waves through the Australia’s camp when Khurram Shahzad removed first innings hero David Warner for a duck and Marnus Labuschagne in quick succession. It underlined the tourists promise that they are not a pushover on this tour. But Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja dug in and weathered the storm under seige from a hostile Pakistan pace attack and carried Australia to a 300 run lead by the close, taking the sting out of a fightback. It sure was an engaging day’s cricket that may have a few more twists to its tail as Australia search ...

Khawaja ‘cartooned’ by Johannes Leak-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis Johannes Leak is one of the cartoonists for The AUSTRALIAN newspaper. To receive his attention in whatever form is to reach the mountainearing heights of political commentary. Usman Khwaja is one of the rare sportsman to receive this áccolade’. Joining Australia’s Prime Minister [on Albanese] as a target is reach the cumulous clouds of public prominence. For those unaware of the circumstances, note that Usman Khawaja, a devout Muslim, chose to inscribe pro-Palestinian messags on the underside of his boots because any such act in blatant display would have seem him evicted from the playing field. This compromise act was seconded by a black armband …. so his position received news reportage. Leak’s cartoon was … and is … one of the peaks of news coverage. Usman Khawaja has now become a mountaineer. ...
