West Indies quick Jayden Seales faces potential ban for double send-off of Aussie batsmen
Seales was given a caution by the on-field umpires after he screamed at Steve Smith after the vice-captain edged a Shamar Joseph delivery to second-slip.
And later in the evening session, the 23-year-old was back at it again, screaming at skipper Pat Cummins after dismissing Mitchell Starc for a duck
Seales finished with figures of 3-59 from 16 overs but it may come at a cost, with the ICC likely not to look at his over the top send-offs too fondly.
Seales was fined earlier this season after giving Cummins an almighty send-off on the opening day of the first Test.
As a result he was fined 15 per cent of his match fee.
That's because send-offs are a thing of the past and are no longer within the rules.
Article 2.5 of the ICC's code of conduct forbids 'using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal.'
On the basis of that it would be highly likely the ICC could find on Sunday morning (AEDT) he broke that law again.
For his last offence he copped a demerit point as well as his fan, bringing his total to two in the last 24-month period.
If he cops a demerit point for each of his send offs in the third Test, he would receive a ban.
That's because if a player accrues four demerit points in a 24-month period they receive a suspension.
But speaking after stumps, Seales said he didn't direct his celebrations at opposition players.
'No send-off, that was pointed directly towards Alzarri. We had a conversation before the delivery. No send-offs,' Seales said.
'I'm not planning to get any fines or push the limits with the umpires anymore, so definitely not crossing that line.'
But fans feel he may find himself in trouble.
'You just can't do it,' one wrote after Seales' first send-off of the day.
'Proper send-off for Steve Smith from Jayden Seales. Was jumping up & down yelling at Smith's face and the umpires pulled Seales aside for a chat immediately. They did have an exchange in the previous over too,' Bharat Sundaresan added on X.
While a third wrote: 'Jayden Seales just giving everyone send offs todaywhat did the Aussies do to him lmao.'

‘Lucky to be alive': Jamarra opens up on ‘traumatising' nightclub shooting
Western Bulldogs forward Jamarra Ugle-Hagan says he's 'lucky to be alive' after being a metre away from a 'traumatising' non-fatal shooting outside a nightclub he claims he had no involvement in. Ugle-Hagan was present with a friend at Prahran's Love Machine early on Sunday morning when shots were fired. Speaking to the Herald Sun for the first time on the incident, the 23-year old said he had no involvement in any way and was being treated by police as a witness. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. 'It was that close to me, I'm lucky I wasn't hit,' Ugle-Hagan told the Herald Sun. 'I wasn't involved with anything, as the police know. There was 20 people around me and probably another 100 at the venue, but my name is being mentioned like I have some kind of part in it. 'I'm linked just by being there. It's trial by media. It is out of my control. 'It is traumatising and no one should be near or see any of that.' Ugle-Hagan, 23, who hasn't played at any level this season due to personal issues, said he was getting into a rideshare vehicle at the time of the gunshots. While the former No. 1 pick said it's 'definitely takes a massive toll on my anxiety and stress,' he conceded being at the Malvern Road venue at that time in the morning wasn't ideal. Love Machine has been plagued by violence over the last few years including multiple recent attacks. In April a man was stabbed to death after reportedly being chased from the venue while two men were killed in a drive-by shooting there in 2019. It adds another chapter to Ugle-Hagan's series of off-field personal issues. He was cleared of any wrongdoing over his car's usage in an alleged drive-by shooting last month. Ugle-Hagan has been on leave from the Dogs for the majority of this season due to his personal battles, having returned to training at times across the season. Ugle-Hagan, who has a lucrative contract at the Dogs for 2026, faces an increasingly uncertain future at Whitten Oval and the AFL at large, with the 67-gamer linked to trade speculation throughout 2025. Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph suggested Ugle-Hagan and the Dogs would reach a settlement if a trade isn't reached. 'Unfortunately he just keeps finding himself in really troubled positions and unfortunately with people who bring trouble upon him as well,' Ralph said on Fox Footy's Midweek Tackle. 'The Dogs are in such an impossible position. They've got to pretend everything is going well with Jamarra, because they want to trade him at the end of the season. 'As soon as those (rival) clubs overlook him, if they do, (the Dogs) will try and find a way to get rid of that $900,00 contract, and that's the challenge. 'A club can terminate a player's contract if they've engaged in serious or repeated misconduct. Being in the vicinity of a gunshot is not that. Having your car taken unwittingly involved in a crime is not that. 'They could recoup some of the money from all those missed training sessions, but they've worked with the AFL and they've allowed him at times to access the mental health care we all believe he needs. 'They'll hope someone trades for him. If he is still on their list, at the end of this situation I think the only scenario for them is to say: 'Here's your payout ... here's $500,000'. 'He could be Tarryn Thomas in a heartbeat. You don't have a birthright to play AFL football, as extraordinarily talented as you are. At some stage the penny has to drop. It hasn't done so dating back 10 or 11 months.'

Heaviest ODI defeat in Australia since 1991: Proteas spinner's brilliance triggers Aussie collapse
Latest posts Pinned post from yesterday 9.54pm Proteas spinner's brilliance triggers Aussie collapse A career-best haul from veteran spinner Keshav Maharaj has inspired South Africa to a crushing 98-run win over Australia in the first ODI in Cairns. With Australia cruising at 0-60 chasing the Proteas' 8-296, Maharaj wreaked havoc during a stunning spell as the hosts lost 6-29 in 55 balls at Cazaly's Stadium. The 35-year-old bowled his 10 overs unchanged - at one stage having 5-9 - to finish with 5-33. It was the first five-wicket haul of his ODI career and he was aptly named player of the match. Maharaj's efforts were the fourth-best ODI numbers by a South African bowler in Australia. Debutant Prenelan Subrayen, a right-arm off-spinner, started Australia's collapse by getting the dangerous Travis Head stumped for 27. Captain Mitch Marsh played a lone hand from the top as none of Australia's middle-order reached double figures. While Marsh remained at the crease, Australia had an outside chance of pulling off a remarkable win. But when Marsh fell for 88 to Nandre Burger (2-54), it was only a matter of time before the Proteas secured victory and bowled Australia out for 198 in the 41st over. Spin, unexpectedly, dominated in Cairns, after Travis Head's part-timers also proved hard to handle. Australia's aggressive opening batter took 4-57, claiming opener Ryan Rickelton (33), as well as Tristan Stubbs (0) and rising star Dewald Brevis (6) within three balls. The Proteas need no reminder of Head's bowling capabilities after he took two crucial wickets in Australia's thrilling World Cup semi-final win in 2023. Rickelton made a productive start with World Test Championship final hero Aiden Markram, the pair putting on 92 for the opening wicket. Markram (82) played flawlessly for his first 80 balls, but fell to a stock-standard delivery from Ben Dwarshuis (2-53) when seemingly headed for a fourth ODI century. WTC-winning captain Temba Bavuma returned for his first match since the historic final at Lord's two months ago, crafting a patient 65 before being bowled by Dwarshuis when trying to lift the run-rate with four overs left. Allrounder Wiaan Mulder, fresh off his extraordinary 367 not out in a Test against Zimbabwe last month, delivered in the final overs with a blazing unbeaten 31. Earlier, South Africa suffered a major blow, losing spearhead Kagiso Rabada for the three-match series. The 30-year-old will miss the 50-over games in north Queensland due to an ankle injury. Australia fielded first after Marsh won the toss and elected to send the Proteas in to bat. When captaining Australia, Marsh has won the toss 21 times and chosen to field every time. Australia opted to play Alex Carey as a specialist batter, electing to use Josh Inglis as the wicketkeeper instead of their Test gloveman. But Carey and Inglis both fell to Maharaj, playing poor shots to get out. The second ODI will take place in Mackay on Friday. yesterday 9.45pm That's a wrap Thanks for joining us tonight. A brilliant win for South Africa, who take a 1-0 lead in the best of three series. Half centuries from Aiden Markram (82 from 81), captain Temba Bavuma (65 from 74) and Matthew Breetzke (57 from 56) helped the Proteas to 8-296, before left-arm orthodox spinner Keshav Maharaj delivered the fourth best ODI figures by an overseas bowler in Australia. There will certainly be plenty of questions for Australia's top order to answer after losing 6-29 from overs eight to 17. Labuschagne (1), Green (3), Inglis (5), Carey (0) and Hardie (4) all missed out. We'll be back for more blog action on Friday. Catch you then. Cheers! Marsh reacts to Australia's heaviest defeat on home soil since 1991 yesterday 9.23pm Australia bowled out for 198 as South Africa seal 98-run win There it is. Adam Zampa is bowled by Lungi Ngidi for 11. Australia have slumped to a 98-run loss after Keshav Maharaj (5-33) tore through their top order. That's four defeats on the trot for Australia against South Africa in ODIs. It's also Australia heaviest ODI defeat on home soil (in terms of runs) since 1991. Ouch. yesterday 9.20pm Ellis is out but it was missing leg Ellis is given out lbw. But replays show it was missing leg. Australia don't have any reviews left. Not ideal, but it wouldn't have made a difference. Could have if Mitch Marsh was still in and the game was on the line. Australia 9-197 yesterday 9.17pm Australia need 101 off the last 10 overs Anyone up for a miracle? Ellis and Zampa are doing their best but they're 100-1 to get the job done here. Good stat from the Fox crew. Australia haven't lost an ODI in Australia by more than 100 runs since 1991 against India. Mark Waugh reckons this was always a bat first deck. Keep in mind Mitch Marsh has never won the toss and elected to bat as a captain in international cricket. Maybe time to re-think that strategy? Ellis whacks a six over long-off from the final ball of the 40th over, which is bowled by Prenelan Subrayen. Australia 8-196 after 40 overs yesterday 9.05pm Marsh is out for 88 Oh dear. Australia's run chase is in tatters as Marsh edges behind for a well-made 88. Tried to pull Burger but gets a top edge that flies through to Rickelton with the gloves on. He doesn't look happy. Didn't get a lot of assistance from his mates at the top, so can't be too hard on himself. A little kid goes for a fist bump near the fence but Marsh isn't having a bar of it and fair enough. Australia 8-174, require 123 off 82 balls. yesterday 8.57pm A look at Mitch Marsh's best ODI knocks Can the man affectionately known as 'Bison' make it four ODI centuries? yesterday 8.52pm Ellis almost departs Ellis survives an LBW shout. Firstly on field. Then a DRS which was umpire's call to a ball clipping the stumps. He'd better get a wriggle on. Now one off nine balls, with Marsh on 79 from 85 balls. yesterday 8.44pm Dwarshuis is out for 33 A decent innings from Dwarshuis comes to an end as he pulls one to mid-wicket. Burger, after unflattering figures of 0-48 from five, gets the breakthrough. Dwarshuis may have been lucky to survive a stumping shout too. It's a big ask now for Australia. All falls on Mitch Marsh as Nathan Ellis comes to the crease.

Beth Mooney stars with bat and gloves for Manchester Originals in The Hundred
Beth Mooney has followed a moment of wicketkeeping magic with a commanding innings to lead Manchester Originals to a 10-wicket win over Trent Rockets in England's The Hundred competition. Mooney made 47 off 37 balls and Scotland's Kathryn Bryce 61 off 45 as the pair chased down a victory target of 112 with 18 balls to spare in Nottingham. That came after Mooney's quick hands had secured the stumping of Rockets dangerwoman Nat Sciver-Brunt, putting the brakes on the home side's innings. Asked to bat by Mooney on Tuesday, the Rockets had begun solidly, reaching 2-78 with captain Ash Gardner and Sciver-Brunt at the crease and 40 balls remaining. Mooney, who had stumped Nat Wraith (17) from Sophie Ecclestone's first ball, now brought back the England spinner to break the pair. Ecclestone beat the advancing England captain with turn and bounce and Mooney fetched the ball high to her right one-handed before whipping off the bails. Thereafter Rockets failed to fire, scoring 5–33 off those last 40 balls with Gardner (17) caught at mid-on trying to slap Lauren Filer. Heather Graham made eight. Ecclestone finished with 2-12 off 20 balls while Filer, reaching 117kph, took 3-23 off 20 and Bryce 2-19 off 20. The home side's 7-111 looked below par and Mooney and Bryce quickly confirmed that. Neither Alana King (0-24 off 20) nor Gardner (0-28 off 15) were able to repeat Ecclestone's impact Mooney had come into the match off a pair of low scores, and after averaging 21.60 in her five visits to the crease this Hundred. But she hit her third and fourth balls for four, either side of the wicket, then took nine off Gardner's first five-ball set, racing to 18 off 11. With Bryce looking in good touch, the pair reached 59 at the halfway mark, accelerating further with Mooney lifting Australian teammate King for six over long off. King did find her length late on, beating the bat then — off a full toss — dropping a return catch from Mooney. But it was too late. "Pretty clinical in the end, to keep that batting line-up to 111 was an amazing effort from the bowling group," said Mooney. "I joked at the break one big partnership would be enough — I didn't think it would be the first one." Originals moved up to third, which would earn them a place in the eliminator on August 30, while the Rockets' chances of progressing, after one win in five, are slim. AAP
