Australia v SA: Fuzzy priorities and an imperfect WTC final
Mumbai: When Australia began their World Test Championship (WTC) campaign, David Warner was still around facing James Anderson and Stuart Broad. That feels like such a long time ago when you consider how Warner has moved on to become a T20 freelancer. Anderson will soon have a trophy named after him to settle retirement pangs, if any. With Broad, he's hopped to the South African corner as bowling consultant – to offer a crash course on beating old enemy Australia. The length of the playing cycle, however, is the least prickly of issues with WTC. Pat Cummins and Temba Bavuma posed with the WTC mace made of sterling silver and gold plates at Lord's on match eve amid some disquiet over their contrasting lead-ins to make the final. Australia (19 Tests) survived the rigours of two five-Test series against England and India, while South Africa qualified with bare minimum participation (12 Tests). 'I'm tired of speaking about it, to be honest. We're here and that's all that matters. We get a chance to walk away as the World Test champions,' said Shukri Conrad, South Africa head coach. Conrad is right. South Africa are not to blame. They have played by the rules. Just like India was not at fault that their Champions Trophy schedule was less punishing than the other teams. The complex framework within which many of cricket's world events are currently staged with every format grappling for space with the franchise calendar means there's no perfect solution in sight. Test retirements The SA coach took charge only recently. From Quinton de Kock in the previous cycle to Heinrich Klaasen in the current one, Test retirements have become regular. It just happened that South Africa found a way to register a flurry of wins towards the end of the WTC cycle. They had even stopped pushing and virtually gifted wins to New Zealand as a severely depleted squad was fielded for the away series in February 2024 while the cream of their talent played SA20. 'Whenever I go into the stores here, you start calculating what it costs you. So, it's no surprise we can't compete,' Conrad was blunt about not being able to pay their Test players. 'So, it's about prioritising certain tours where we could give them a break and ensure that some conditioning is able to happen. Whenever we're not playing, there's an opportunity for them to earn some USD.' The question is whether Test cricket is in a better place than it was when this WTC cycle began two years back. It's still Australia, England and India who can afford to play five-Test series, home-and-away and make money out of it. But one can argue that if not for WTC, Cricket South Africa would possibly not even make the attempt to stage Test cricket, perhaps leading to a lost generation of Test talent for a cricket nation which has been among the most competitive since the return after the end of Apartheid. There has been some talk that qualifying for the Lord's final would lead to a revival of interest in Test cricket in South Africa. But there's nothing in the Future Tours Program that suggests this. There is no home Test scheduled for another year in South Africa. Of late, Zimbabwe are playing a lot more Test cricket. And they don't rank anywhere among the Test elite who compete for WTC. They are among the 12 Test teams though, which is not a notional privilege. Test status brings substantially more ICC funding compared to Associate teams. That is what it boils down to. Unless national boards can make Test cricket viable, they won't see the point in playing it. The depleting pool of international talent will make things dire. The hope of an evenly spread Test calendar to determine WTC finalists is delusionary in the current scheme of things. One-off final The good thing about a one-off final is that these persistent problems matter very little. Both Australia and South Africa will enter the field on Wednesday coming off very little red-ball cricket. As the Dukes ball tends to swing throughout the day, a sharp burst from Kagiso Rabada – he should be determined after his drug misadventure – and who knows? It wouldn't matter that Australia's total squad experience is double that of their opponents and that they are defending champions. 'They're here for a reason,' Steve Smith, Australia vice-captain said about the Proteas. 'I don't know how the system works with the percentages and what have you, but they're here, they're in the top two, and they're a good side.'

India go down 0-1 to Hong Kong in crucial 2027 Asian Cup Qualifier match
NEW DELHI: The suffered a heartbreaking 0-1 defeat to hosts Hong Kong after conceding a stoppage-time penalty in a crucial 2027 AFC Asian Cup Qualifier on Tuesday. The decisive goal came from Stefan Pereira in the 94th minute after a costly foul by India goalkeeper Vishal Kaith. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The referee pointed to the spot after Kaith charged off his line and collided with Michael Udebuluzor while attempting to punch the ball clear. Pereira made no mistake from the spot, calmly slotting the ball to Kaith's right. The Indian custodian was also shown a yellow card for the late challenge. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Earlier in the evening, head coach Manolo Marquez opted to keep veteran striker and talisman Sunil Chhetri out of the starting XI. Despite the raucous support for the home side at the newly built Kai Tak Stadium, India looked promising in the early exchanges and created a handful of chances in the first half, although Hong Kong dominated possession. However, as has often been the case of late, India's lack of clinical finishing once again proved costly. Their best opportunity of the half came in the 35th minute when Ashique Kuruniyan, set up beautifully by Liston Colaco's run and cross from the left, fired wide from close range. Colaco, who had earlier received treatment for an injury, also tried his luck with a powerful long-range effort, but it went straight into the hands of the Hong Kong goalkeeper. Hong Kong grew into the game as the first half progressed and nearly broke the deadlock through a set-piece, only to be denied by a goal-line clearance from Ashish Rai after Kaith was beaten. Both sides had their moments in a tightly contested opening 45 minutes, but neither could capitalize. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Kuruniyan, effective down the flank throughout the match, had another opportunity early in the second half but again couldn't convert. In an attempt to inject urgency into the Indian attack, Marquez introduced Sunil Chhetri and Naorem Singh in place of Kuruniyan and Brandon Fernandes. MLC: Venky Harinarayan on growing cricket in the USA, AI-driven teams and the Olympic boost India continued to press for a goal and came close in the 81st minute when Lallianzuala Chhangte delivered a precise cutback to Chhetri inside the box, but the veteran striker failed to make solid contact. The result is a major blow to India's qualification hopes, especially after their goalless draw against Bangladesh at home in March in their opening qualifier. With only a few matches remaining, the Blue Tigers will now need to regroup quickly to keep their Asian Cup dreams alive.

Kiyan Anthony let his true feelings about being Carmelo Anthony's son known in a candid conversation with the NBA Hall of Famer
Kiyan Anthony and Carmelo Anthony. Image via: David Dow/NBAE via Getty Images In a heartfelt episode of The Instagram Podcast on YouTube, NBA legend Carmelo Anthony sat down for a rare and personal conversation with his son, Kiyan Anthony. The Syracuse-bound high school star opened up about life on and off the court, offering an unfiltered perspective on what it truly feels like to carry the last name "Anthony. " The discussion, while light-hearted at times, ventured into their personal territory, offering a glimpse into the pressures, expectations, and ambitions that come with being the son of a basketball icon. Kiyan Anthony reacted to the pressure of being Carmelo Anthony's son Kiyan Anthony's response to his father's pointed question about living under the label of 'Melo's son' was as grounded as it was mature. When Carmelo asked, 'A lot of people say you, you know, we have this kind of tag against us, and you especially as Melo's son. How does that make you feel?' — Kiyan candidly responded, sharing his true feelings about the weight of the name he carries. Carmelo and Kiyan | Close Friends Only with Instagram "I don't really got a problem with it to be honest," Kiyan responded. "I feel like anybody would want to be Melo's son. So at the end of the day, I'm my own person. I got to do my own things um on and off the court. So what the people don't see is just on the court just the hard work, the training and all of that. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo And then off the court I feel like we have similar personalities but at the same time we two different people so can't label me as just Melo's son. " While Kiyan is proud of his father and blessed to be Melo's son, he also has the innate desire for individuality. It is a duality that many children of famous athletes often wrestle with, quite similar to Bronny James' inherent tag of being LeBron James' son. Kiyan is aware of the privilege, but he's also focused on carving out his own path, following his father's legacy but creating his own basketball name for himself. The exchange took a thoughtful turn when Kiyan flipped the script and asked his father, 'When you was my age, what was you trying to prove to everybody?' Carmelo's answer was telling of the generational drive. 'That's a good question,' Melo acknowledged quickly. 'When I was your age, I think I was trying to prove that I belong. I wanted to prove to myself, too, like I can do it… I had to prove myself, right?" he added.
