‘Gill and Rahane played more pull shots than Australia played in two Tests’, Ponting takes a dig at Australian batting

-

 The Australian batsmen have been under fire for their below-par performances in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. A victory in Adelaide kept them far from criticism up to some extent. However, they were exposed in Melbourne where India made a terrific comeback and beat them by 8 wickets.

The 19-year-old was the toast of the 2019 Swimming Australia Awards in Sydney on Sunday night, cleaning up by also claiming Short Course Swimmer of the Year and sharing the Patron Award. Tasmanian-born, Brisbane-based Titmus already had plenty to celebrate in a breakout 2019 after famously dethroning American great Katie Ledecky to claim 400m freestyle gold at this year's world titles in South Korea in July.

 Wildlife rescuer Tracey Wilson lets out a familiar refrain whenever she receives a call about a lost or injured koala: "Here we go again".  It is not from a lack of love for the iconic marsupial — Ms Wilson spends countless hours helping injured koalas recuperate from all sorts of injuries and mishaps. She was one of the first people on hand when 21 koalas were found dead and 49 so horribly injured they had to be euthanased after a south-west Victorian timber plantation was cleared in 2020.
