West Indies quick hit with fine for Aussie send-off
West Indies paceman Jayden Seales has been docked 15 per cent of his match fee for his send-off to Australian captain Pat Cummins.
Seales gestured the Australian to the dressing room after dismissing him in the first Test in Barbados.
"It did not really mean anything and it was more a bit of frustration," Seales told the ICC website.

The 23-year-old was penalised 15 per cent of his match fee - the West Indies players are believed to earn about $US5000 a Test.
Seales pleaded guilty to breaching the code of conduct covering "language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter" when dismissed.
He was charged by on-field umpires Richard Kettleborough and Nitin Menon, plus the third and fourth umpires.
Seales, who took five wickets in Australia's first innings, also was penalised one demerit point. He now has two points in a 24-month period.
When a player reaches four or more demerit points in a 24-month span, they are converted to suspension points and a player is banned.

'Hungry, but humble' – Farrell backs Pollock to make impact
Western Force v British and Irish Lions Date: Saturday, 28 June Venue: Optus Stadium, Perth Time: 11:00 BST Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website Henry Pollock must replicate the energy and abrasiveness that have fuelled his meteoric rise so far, says head coach Andy Farrell as the 20-year-old starts for the British and Irish Lions for the first time. Pollock will pack down at number eight as the Lions take on Western Force in their first tour game on Australian soil on Saturday. Advertisement "You want people with confidence and belief because that helps when he takes the field," said head coach Andy Farrell. "You don't want a kid to go under the radar and in three weeks' time just settle into a side. You pick him for a reason. "He's a Lion just like the eldest player. There's no difference whatsoever. His character is infectious to everyone. He's a great lad." Pollock's try celebrations, most famously checking his pulse after streaking past Sam Prendergast in Northampton's Champions Cup semi-final upset of Leinster, have been part of his appeal, and Farrell has given him permission to continue with his celebration routines. Advertisement "He's certainly not overawed. I mean, I love that. You want kids to be themselves and he's just being himself. He doesn't know any different," said Farrell. "He's hungry to learn and that's perfect because you can see that he's got a real point of difference. "He sees things quickly and acts upon that. His line running is pretty good. His awareness of space, how sharp he is in his mind and his athletic abilities are up there with the other lads in the squad. "He's hungry to make a difference the whole time. But he also understands what parts of his game he needs to improve. He's got a great attitude." Advertisement Before the start of this season, Pollock's experience of senior top-flight rugby was limited to half an hour off the bench in a Premiership loss to Leicester. But his barnstorming performances for Northampton this season earned him the league's breakthrough of the season award, a nomination for the Champions Cup player of the year and elevation to the England senior squad, for whom he scored two tries on his debut against Wales in March. He would be the youngest Test Lion of the professional era if he appears in the series against Australia.

Advertisement Lions chief Ben Calveley said that Australia would be in breach of the tour agreement if they held back their Test players from the pre-series fixtures, denying the tourists proper preparation and denting the commercial value of the build-up. Australia head coach Joe Schmidt ultimately allowed six of the nine Western Force players he picked for a warm-up match against Fiji to appear against the Lions this weekend. "It's still not resolved, but we need to work constructively to resolve it," Waugh told News Corp. newspapers. "We've got a very clear position on it and we're working with them to resolve it and so hopefully that'll be resolved imminently."

Manly claim pressure-easing win over toothless Tigers
Manly's backline overhaul has netted Anthony Seibiold a much-needed win, doing enough to beat Wests Tigers 28-10. After a fortnight of spotlight on Seibold's job and the Sea Eagles' form, Manly were far from their best at Brookvale Oval but still put themselves back in the top eight. Their plan to give Tom Trbojevic some confidence playing at centre showed some signs of working, with the regular No.1 having a role in two tries. Some slick passing as Garrick goes over! 🦅#NRLManlyTigers — NRL (@NRL) June 27, 2025 But his replacement at fullback Lehi Hopoate had one of his toughest outings of the season, putting down two high balls and getting beaten to another. Still, it was enough for the Sea Eagles to consign the Tigers to their sixth straight loss, who desperately missed Jarome Luai in attack after he was ruled out with a boil. Adding to the Tigers' concerns was a concussion for Api Koroisau, that has the potential to stifle any chance of Tallyn Da Silva leaving before the June 30 deadline. After back-to-back losses to Newcastle and Gold Coast before last week's bye, Manly just needed a win no matter how ugly it was. And for large periods of the first half on Friday night, it was anything but pretty for both teams through a scoreless opening 39 minutes. Trbojevic was whacked by Jeral Skelton the only time he received it in a good area during that time, with Manly regularly going short rather than out the back. But when the Sea Eagles finally utilised the fullback-turned-centre again, the game started to turn. The only first-half try came through the 28-year-old, when Trbojevic got the ball 10 metres out and put Jason Saab over to score. Trbojevic was at it again to start the second half, going from right centre to the left side of the field to act as second receiver. That gave the Sea Eagles an extra number, with Trbojevic holding the ball up for Lehi Hopoate to send Reuben Garrick over with a cut-out ball. Another Manly try came down that side after Trbojevic had again created numbers early in the set, before Luke Brooks and Daly Cherry-Evans helped Tolu Koula score. Second-rowers Corey Waddell and Ben Trbojevic also went over in the second half, one from a Cherry-Evans short ball and another from the halfback's kick. There were still some questions over Tom Trbojevic's defence at centre, with the visitors' first try coming when Adam Douiehi put Alex Seyfarth past him and into a gaping hole. While the Tigers are clearly an improved outfit, they have now lost six in a row and will likely face the Sydney Roosters next week without Koroisau and Luai. Da Silva scored late out of dummy-half but looks likely to leave the club by year's end, while Latu Fainu lacked spark without Luai next to him.
