So, as you can't be in two places at once, is Beth Mooney saying she's willing to give up the ₹2.5 crore (approx. US$260,000) she earned at the 2026 WPL auction (or similar) to play in Australia, obviously for much less? Can't see the WPL agreeing to move its schedule to suit anyone else.

Wow! 16 year-old Ayaka Kato-Stafford takes 4/25 off just 5 overs, including Ellyse Perry for 0 and Phoebe Litchfield, and the only wickets Queensland took (NSW 4/168 def QLD 167). I watched her here in Nagoya just last week & was impressed. #cricket #NSWQLD

Israeli attacks on Gaza since 2023 killed at least 73,795 people, wounded more than 174,800. More than 20,000 children killed, 44,000 injured. Thousands of children have lost limbs, while roughly 17,000 have been left unaccompanied or orphaned. The US is directly complicit in this atrocity.

The rightwing British tabloid quietly removed the article and photographs, first published on 6 August, from its website last week. The Mail did not issue a correction or editor’s note explaining the removal. Continue reading...
