Cricket world rocked by Bob Simpson news as tributes flow for legendary Aussie
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has led the tributes for Bob Simpson as the cricket world pays its respects to a legendary figure who had an enormous impact on shaping the sport in the country. Simpson died in Sydney at the age of 89 after an extraordinary career as a player, captain and coach at state, national and international level. He played played 62 Tests for Australia and scored 4,689 runs in a glittering red-ball career for the national side that included 10 centuries and 27 half centuries. Simpson also took 71 wickets in his Test career and was regarded as one of the country's greatest ever slip-fielders, taking a staggering 110 catches for the national side. His average of almost one catch per innings is the greatest in Test history, outside of wicketkeepers. Simpson was just 16 when he made his first-class debut for New South Wales against Victoria, and played 257 first class matches, scoring 21,029 runs at an average of 56.22. That included 60 centuries and 100 half centuries and a top score of 359. He took 383 catches and 349 wickets at an average of 38.07 with best figures of 5-33 with his leg-spin. RIP to a true cricket legend.A Test cricketer, captain, coach and national selector - Bob Simpson was a mighty figure in Australian cricket, giving everything to our Australia extends our thoughts and sympathies to Bob's family and friends. — Cricket Australia (@CricketAus) August 16, 2025 Simpson made his Test debut against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1957. And his first century came in an Ashes Test at Old Trafford in 1964, where Simpson went on to score 311. He is one of only seven Australians to make a Test triple-century in the nation's long and proud history in the sport. Simpson formed a formidable opening partnership with the late Bill Lawry in the 1960s and was an exceptional accumulator of runs. He was also the second Australian (after Don Bradman) to make 300 in a Test, with the memorable 311 against England at Old Trafford in 1964 cementing Simpson's legendary status.

Simpson led the team in tours of the UK, the West Indies and India, but decided to retire from representative cricket in 1965, playing his last match in Sydney against India under the captaincy of Lawry. Nine years after his retirement as a Test player, World Series Cricket divided the game and Simpson returned in 1977 at the age of 41 to lead the Australian team for Test series against India and the West Indies. After his playing career he went on to coach in five of the 10 Test-playing countries. It was his achievements as Australia's coach that Simpson was most proud of and earned him even greater respect around the cricket world. Simpson coached Australia between 1986 and 1996, a decade in which Australia emerged from a lean period to become the powerhouse of the modern game. Anthony Albanese leads tributes to Bob Simpson Prime Minister Albanese was among those to praise the incredible legacy Simpson left on Australian cricket. "Bob Simpson's extraordinary service to Australian cricket spanned generations," the PM wrote on social media. "As a player, captain and then era-defining coach, he set the highest of standards for himself and the champions he led. He will be long remembered by the game he loved. May he rest in peace." The Aussie team is set to mark the sad news by wearing black armbands and observing a moment's silence for the cricket legend before tonight's T20 international against South Africa in Cairns. "Bob Simpson was one of the greats of Australian cricket, and this is a sad day for anyone fortunate to have watched him play or who benefited from his wisdom," Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird said in a statement. "As a brilliant opening batter, incredible slips fielder, and handy spin bowler, Bob was a mainstay of a very strong Australian team in the 1960s, and he became a leader across the game as Australian and New South Wales captain and as a coach. Bob's decision to come out of retirement to successfully lead the Australian team during the advent of World Series Cricket in 1977 was a wonderful service to the game, and his coaching set the foundation for a golden era for Australian cricket. On behalf of Cricket Australia, I would like to express my warmest condolences to Bob's family, friends, teammates, and all those touched by his vast contribution to cricket." Bob Simpson's extraordinary service to Australian cricket spanned generations. As a player, captain and then era-defining coach, he set the highest of standards for himself and the champions he led. He will be long remembered by the game he he rest in peace. — Anthony Albanese (@AlboMP) August 16, 2025 Vale #thegodfather just trying to think who else is left from the 60s...

Mets' Francisco Lindor stresses urgency: ‘Every little thing matters now'
NEW YORK — The Mets are in the middle of a nightmare run. They've lost 13 of 15 games, many of them heartbreakers. The Mets have blown nine leads in their last six games — two of those came in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Atlanta Braves. It's difficult to pinpoint what's been ailing this team, which has lost 6.5 games in the standings during that 15-game span, from being up 1.5 games in the National League East to being down 5 games. 'We have to play 27 outs and sometimes you have to play more,' shorstop Francisco Lindor said after the game. 'From the first pitch to the last pitch, we have to go all out. It's that time of the year when every little thing matters.' On Thursday, the Mets finally had things set up the way they wanted. Their starter, Kodai Senga, pitched into the sixth inning — something that hasn't happened since last Wednesday, August 6 — and handed the ball to right-hander Tyler Rogers, who turned the ball over to the set-up man, Ryan Helsley, with a 3-2 lead. That's when the game unraveled. Helsley, the Mets' big trade deadline acquisition, surrendered two runs on a pair of doubles, blowing his second game in six appearances in orange and blue. 'Whenever we're getting the offense, we're not getting starting pitching,' Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said, trying to figure out how things have gotten so bad for his team. 'Today we got starting pitching, we got some timely hitting, but we couldn't close it out.' This latest loss marks the Mets' fifth consecutive series loss. Their 2-13 record since July 28 marks their worst record in any 15-game span since May 29 - June 15, 2018. But there are signs of hope. On top of finally getting some length from a starter, Lindor looks like he's snapping out of his fog, which recently had his batting average at a season-low .243. In three games since then, he's 6-for-11 with a home run and a double. His stolen base in the sixth, which forced a throwing error, allowing him to advance to third, helped give the Mets the lead in the sixth inning. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to grant the Mets their first series win since their sweep of the San Francisco Giantsand in late July 'Today looked a little bit better,' Lindor said, sounding hopeful. 'It looked a little bit like the Mets, where you manufacture some runs, the pitching staff does their thing, and the defense does their thing. It's just, they played a little bit better than us.'

Browns Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Injures Oblique at Training Camp Practice
National Football League Browns Rookie QB Shedeur Sanders Injures Oblique at Training Camp Practice Published Aug. 13, 2025 2:31 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders sustained an oblique injury during drills early in practice Wednesday and did not play the rest of the session. Sanders and the Browns were in Philadelphia for a pair of joint practices ahead of Saturday's preseason game. The Browns did not offer any additional information on Sanders' availability for the rest of the week. Sanders completed 14 of 23 passes for 138 yards with two first-half touchdown passes to Kaden Davis in his NFL preseason debut in a win over Carolina on Friday night. The performance by Hall of Famer Deion Sanders' son even caught the attention of NBA star LeBron James. "That young [man] looking good out there," James wrote. "Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high." The Browns took Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round of the NFL draft. He wasn't selected until the 144th overall pick, a stunning fall for the most recognizable player in this draft class. Sanders finished eighth in the Heisman Trophy balloting last season for Colorado and threw for a school-record 4,134 yards last season. He is part of a crowded Browns quarterback room as Deshaun Watson is expected to sit out this season with a torn Achilles tendon. The group also includes Kenny Pickett, 40-year-old Joe Flacco and third-round pick Dillon Gabriel, who was responsible for a Football Bowl Subdivision-record 188 total touchdowns during a six-year career that included stops at Central Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon. Pickett has been slowed in training camp with a hamstring injury and Gabriel experienced a tight hamstring. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
