Channel Seven star Erin Holland gives shattering update on her long battle to have a baby with Aussie cricketer
Channel Seven star Erin Holland has provided her social media followers with a heartbreaking update about her ongoing fertility battle. The presenter, 36, hoped to start a family with her Australian cricketer husband Ben Cutting following their 2021 wedding – only to discover IVF was their best option to have a baby. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed they are still at square one despite four years of trying. 'Here we go again,' she wrote with an accompanying photo from a hospital. 'I'm (now) breaking up the highlights reel with some real talk. 'Many losses, many failed transfers down, today was all about exploratory surgery, internal 'renovations' and starting testing from scratch again to try and find some answers to the soul-destroying unknown. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed nothing has changed after four years of trying 'What's the missing piece of the puzzle? Injections, steroids, so many drugs... it's far more emotionally and physically draining than we ever bargained for.' Holland's emotional post also included a picture of several vials in a bathroom. 'Infertility feels like your face is pressed up against the glass of a club you so badly want to be a part of, but no one is letting you in,' she added. Among those to support Holland publicly included Nadia Bartel, Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou and fellow cricket presenter Grace Hayden. Holland also previously stated she 'let Ben down' after failing to fall pregnant and her 'sense of failure is overwhelming'. In recent years, Holland has been a regular on Seven's cricket coverage, including the men's and women's Big Bash tournaments. After hanging up his cricket spikes, Cutting has turned his attention to the property market, securing a role as an agent with U Real Estate in Brisbane. 'It definitely has the highs and lows like cricket does,' he told 'I've been doing everything from cold calling, to door knocking to letter box drops.

IPL 2025 Final: Scarred by past failures, RCB and PBKS need not just good cricket but also ability to relish big occasion
Both PBKS and RCB have suffered multiple IPL final heartbreaks and witnessed years of unfulfilled promise. As they enter IPL 2025, they will know talent alone won't be enough on this grand stage. read more 2016: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. The scene of the IPL final. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) versus Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Neither has won the title yet. And neither can really envision what might happen if they lose this game. After 17 overs, RCB are ahead. Then, Ben Cutting shows up. And he helps SRH thunder 52 runs off the last three overs, making RCB fans gulp at what may lie ahead. In the chase, RCB start off sumptuously. Chris Gayle is doing his thing. Virat Kohli, scoring runs for breakfast, lunch and dinner in 2016, is feasting too. RCB, after ten overs, are 112-0, and have ten wickets in hand chasing 209. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD There is anticipation among the crowd. A sense of excitement. An unescapable feeling that this might finally be their time. And then…pfft! It evaporates. Gayle falls. Kohli does too. AB de Villiers and KL Rahul cannot rescue them either, nor can Shane Watson, and an evening that was theirs for the taking, does not turn into a red-letter day for the team in red. Two years prior to that, at that very venue, there was another team, called the Kings XI Punjab (Punjab Kings/PBKS now). Like RCB, they careened into the Chinnaswamy knowing and acknowledging their past baggage, and recognising how that occasion could be their day of days. Also Read | IPL Final: Rain set to impact high-stakes match at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad They batted first and got to 199. Not a world-beating score, but a very healthy total in a final. With seven overs of the chase left, they were decently-placed to end their hoodoo. But Punjab could not make it count. The contest, rather than gravitating towards them, kept drifting away, and KKR got over the line. Punjab, since that evening of coming close to their crescendo but not being able to clasp it, have struggled in the competition. Now, it promises to change. Now, there is light at the end of the tunnel. And for a change, it no longer feels like an onrushing train. 'Irresistible' PBKS face 'immovable' RCB Which brings us to the current landscape, and there is no denying that RCB and PBKS have been the two standout teams this season: extremely efficient, dripping with match-winning quality, and almost interchangeable for one another. Punjab, though, because of their batting prowess, have painted themselves as the irresistible force. They have made 200 or more in half of their games this campaign, and those batting muscles were flexed against the Mumbai Indians in the Qualifier. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read | IPL final: Longest wait for maiden title and other records that could be broken in Ahmedabad showdown RCB, meanwhile, have been the immovable object, built on a magnificent bowling attack, led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood, and supported superbly by Krunal Pandya, Suyash Sharma and Yash Dayal. And they have the recent precedent of stopping the irresistible force too, having rolled PBKS over for a paltry total days ago . This, thus, could be the broader contest that decides the outcome. But there are other smaller, more intricate sub-plots too, which add a further layer of intrigue. Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli could prove to be key to success for their respective teams. Image Reuters Arshdeep Singh vs RCB openers For example, Arshdeep Singh, barring Qualifier 1, has had Phil Salt on barbecue throughout this calendar year. Kohli, too, has a tendency to fall to left-arm pacers in important white-ball matches, and he has been dismissed by Kyle Jamieson on more than one occasion. There is also a school of thought that RCB may struggle if both of their openers are dismissed cheaply – something PBKS managed in Bengaluru earlier this season, and RCB will have to guard against. Despite the fact that Jitesh Sharma, Romario Shepherd and their middle order, in general, are in scintillating form. Also Read | IPL final: 'Shreyas has the chance to finally…', experts cast predictions on showdown in Ahmedabad STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On the other side, Shreyas Iyer has an ordinary record against RCB's premier pacers, with Hazlewood, in particular, an enormous threat to him. Their overseas batters have not clicked consistently enough as well, and their bowling unit, in recent times, has also developed a tendency to leak runs. Iyer poses threat, but RCB look more ready PBKS' batting against high-quality pace can also be a little circumspect. But they have some exceptional spin-hitters, including skipper Shreyas. And if they can navigate RCB's pace-bowling threat, they might be able to cash in on a ground where they have breached 200 twice in two attempts this season. There is also the paradigm of neither of these teams really relishing the big occasion, as their trophy cabinet (so far) suggests. One of them, however, will have to get that monkey off their back. RCB seem better-equipped, having inflicted misery on PBKS last Thursday, but PBKS have played in Ahmedabad more recently. And so, it is rather fitting that these two sides will have to look each other in the eye on Tuesday, and dare their opponent to take their moment away from them. All while the pair, perhaps a little nervous, possibly a little restless, probably a little anxious, try desperately not to flinch. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Maybe it was written in the stars all along. That these two franchises, who have been no strangers to world-class cricketers, but have also been rather frequent visitors to the well of disappointment and dejection, will have to go through one another, if they are to wind up where they want to be, and where they have always dreamt of being. One out of PBKS or RCB is set to break their IPL trophy drought. Image: PTI Their paths can no longer exist in different planes, prisms, or spectrums. They are, as corporate jargon would put it, mutually exclusive now. If RCB win, Punjab won't. And if Punjab win, RCB will not have. That may be stating the obvious, but the weight of those statements, with disjunction the overriding theme rather than conjunction, cannot be understated. Back in 2014 and back in 2016, Punjab and RCB (respectively) had their tryst with fate, discernibly distant from one another, even if it occurred at the same place. Both, as their rival fans are quick to point out, fluffed their lines. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And in 2025, here they are. Toe-to-toe, shoulder-to-shoulder and eyeball-to-eyeball. Mindful of their previous mistakes, mishaps and missteps, but acutely aware of the mystically marvelous power of silverware and how it alters narratives, and transforms past nightmares into mere memories. One of them, on Tuesday, will experience that and enter the domain of champions, and irrespective of whatever happens in years to come, will have that tale to tell for generations. And the other, well, they will still not have won the final game of the season. Despite coming agonisingly and tantalisingly close. Much like all those years ago.

Ben Cutting rubs salt on RCB's wounds ahead of SRH clash; ‘150 texts every day…as replacement player against Bengaluru'
Ben Cutting might have played just four games in 2016 season of Indian Premier League (IPL) but he will remember that year till the last breath of his life after the Australian's all-round heroics in the final against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) helped Sunrisers Hyderabad lift their only trophy in the history of the tournament so far. Cutting became a cult hero among the Sunrisers Hyderabad fans for his 39 runs off just 15 balls towards the end of the innings. He also took two wickets to help his team beat RCB by eight runs at the Chinnaswamy stadium, thus making him a villain among the opposition supporters. Nine years down the line, the 38-year-old doesn't play any top-tier cricket anymore. But still the Australian gets requests on Instagram to play for any team against RCB as a replacement player. "If I load up my private messages on Instagram now, there'll be 150 every day saying, 'Can you make yourself available for the IPL as a replacement player?' for any team that's coming up against RCB," Cutting told EspnCricinfo ahead of RCB vs SRH clash in IPL 2025. Batting first captain David Warner gave Sunrisers Hyderabad a great start before a sudden middle order collapse. Cutting, who came into bat after the fall of the fourth wicket, made small partnerships with the likes of Naman Ojha, Bipul Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to take Sunrisers Hyderabad past the 200-run mark. In fact, it was Cutting's three sixes and a four off fellow countryman Shane Watson in the final over the innings which propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad to 208/7 in 20 overs. Cutting smashed three fours and four sixes for his unbeaten 39 in just 15 balls. In reply, Cutting was in action again as the right-arm medium pacer dismissed a marauding Chris Gayle and KL Rahul to bring RCB's downfall. Since then RCB have never qualified for a final in IPL. Overall, Cutting played just 21 IPL matches across five seasons. His cricketing career has been marred by frequent injuries. For Australia, Cutting was able to play just four ODIs and seven T20Is. Both teams will once again face each other on Friday. However, this time, its a dead rubber as RCB have already qualified for the IPL 2025 playoffs while Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of the race. For the unknown, the RCB vs SRH clash was slated to be hosted at the Chinnaswamy stadium but due to inclement weather in Bengaluru, the fixture has been shifted to Lucknow's Ekana Stadium. The match date and start time remains the same. Stay updated on all the action from theIPL 2025.
