Head gives Australia fresh hope in Windies battle
Travis Head has given Australia a fresh scent of victory in the first Test after delivering his second half-century against West Indies in Bridgetown. It helped Australia reach lunch on the third day in an improving position. Having resumed on 4-92, the tourists shored up their position by reaching 5-181, growing their lead from 82 to 171. Head had contributed 59 as Australia were all out for 180 in their first innings. West Indies' reply of 190 left the match tantalisingly poised. The partnership is broken who?#WIvAUS | #FullAhEnergy — Windies Cricket (@windiescricket) June 27, 2025 On a difficult surface in Barbados, Head made 61 before becoming the only Australian wicket to fall in the first session. Despite a reputation built on aggressive batting, here he went about his work with great patience, testament to his quality and character. He eventually fell to a straight one from Shamar Joseph that kept low and thundered into his pads. There was no doubting that and Head departed with a rueful smile without considering a review. He had earlier had a moment of good fortune when dropped at second slip by Justin Greaves when on 21. Head took advantage of that reprieve to put on a 102-run partnership with Beau Webster, the highest of the match. After Head's departure, Webster had progressed to 49, with Alex Carey defending confidently on eight as the Australian middle-order continued to make life difficult for the West Indian attack.

The 2022 first-round pick is the team's No. 2 prospect, per Advertisement Spencer Jones during spring training. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post While there have been questions about his contact ability, he slashed .274/.389/.594 in 49 games this season. He struck out 70 times in 208 plate appearances. The towering 6-foot-7 slugger mashed a walk-off homer for Somerset on Thursday night to follow up winning Eastern League Player of the Week honors last week for his outrageous stat lines of 10-for-21 (.476/.607/.952) with 8 RBI, 6 R, 4 XBH (1 2B, 3 HR), 7 BB and a 1.559 OPS over six games.

Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post This promotion now makes him eligible for a potential call-up should the Yankees need to make a move, although they already have have four outfielders for just three starting spots in Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham, Cody Bellinger and Jasson Dominguez.

There's fury over WNBA officiating: ‘I think it's getting worse.'
Sydney Johnson was nearly on the Mystics logo at center court, far from the bench, thrusting his index finger at game official Agon Abazi. Johnson was incensed over a series of calls Sunday and was more animated than he has been at any point this season. And just like that, the first-year coach received his first technical in the WNBA.
