The West Indies are still looking to gain some respect after also being blown away 3-0 in the earlier Test series. The hosts reached 2/72 from their first 10 overs after Aussie captain Mitch Marsh won the toss and sent the home side in to bat. Aussies hit back with wickets The West Indies appeared to be flying at 0/63 in the eighth over, but two quick wickets took the wind out of their sails. Adam Zampa picked up his fist wicket of the series when he enticed Brandon King to swing at a good-length ball that took a thick edge that landed safely in the hands of Cam Green. Glenn Maxwell then dismissed opener Shai Hope with the next ball. Selectors make big calls Aussie selectors have dropped the axe on Jake Fraser-McGurk after a poor run of form. It was just one of several big calls at Matthw Kuhnemann was handed his T20I debut and keeper Josh Inglis was promoted to the top of the batting order. Slogger Tim David has been called in to replace Fraser-McGurk while Kuhnemann replaced Sean Abbott as a result of a spin-friendly wicket. Debutant Mitch Owen's international T20 career started in fairytale fashion on Monday as he smacked a half century and took a wicket in a man-of-the-match performance. Owen and Cameron Green tore the hosts apart in a devastating 80-run partnership that helped Australia reach the required total of 190 runs with seven deliveries remaining at Sabina Park in Kingston. The home side suffered a late collapse as they reached 8/189. Australia's bowlers had been blasted all over the park for most of the innings, but the hosts were decimated in the final five overs where they lost 6/35.

Aussie sport presenter Grace Hayden caught in steamy public display
Aussie sport presenter Grace Hayden and her boyfriend have shown they are not afraid to go public with their romance. The popular TV host was on Sunday spotted at Noosa beach soaking in the sun and surf alongside her partner, Wilson Statham. The 23-year-old daughter of cricket legend Matthew Hayden has had a whirlwind 12 months with her broadcasting career on a meteoric rise. West Indies vs. Australia Test & T20I Series | Watch every ball LIVE with ESPN, available on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. The couple only recently returned from a glamorous European getaway with Hayden describing some of their Italian seaside destinations as 'paradise'. Photos shared with her 260,000 Instagram followers earlier this month showed the loved-up duo enjoying each other's company at several holiday spots. Hayden and Statham, who is heir to the Statham family's cotton production empire, were happy to continue flaunting their affections for each other again when they stepped out at Noosa this weekend. Photos showed Hayden was not shy to flaunt her famous figure as she stripped down to a two-piece Imana Swim bikini. With Wilson sporting casual knee-length black swim shorts, the pair packed on the PDA after first splashing about in the Sunshine Coast waves. The couple have dealt with plenty of relationship hurdles since rumours of their romance first spread in June, 2024. The couple hard launched their connection in October when they made a rare appearance together on Everest Day at Sydney's Royal Randwick Racecourse. Statham's parents, David and Danielle, own and operate the Sundown Pastoral Company, a family-run, privately-owned cotton and cropping enterprise spanning Queensland and northern NSW. It has previously been estimated the family's net worth is around $300m. Hayden is enjoying some downtime after a turbulent few months covering cricket overseas. She was in India working with TV giant Star India during the 2025 IPL when the world's richest T20 tournament was called off as a result of the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan. Hayden was in Mumbai in May when the tournament was suspended as Aussie cricket players and commentators were left trying to flee the country as tensions rose between the nuclear-armed neighbours. She has proven herself just as popular with an international audience as she had back at home during her previous appearances on Channel 7's Test cricket and horse racing coverage. Her latest project will see her introduced to an emerging cricket audience in the United States. Grace is hosting Willow's first original podcast Game on with Grace. Willow is emerging as the biggest cricket broadcaster in the United States ahead of the sport's return to the Olympics at the Las Angeles Games in 2026. Grace's bi-weekly series will see Grace host candid conversations with athletes and artists. 'Game On is about pulling back the curtain on the world of sports' untold stories,' Grace said. 'I grew up in cricket's front row and have covered its biggest tournaments, but the moments that fascinate me most happen off camera. 'Partnering with Willow allows me to share those raw, funny, and inspiring conversations with athletes, artists, and anyone chasing greatness. I can't wait to bring these stories to fans each week on the Willow app and wherever they listen to podcasts.' The first episode of the series centres around her dad's former teammate, legendary Aussie wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist. In a statement provided to Willow COO Todd Myers said Grace's knowledge of the game makes her a 'uniquely powerful and authentic voice'. 'Launching Willow's first original series is an important step in expanding how we serve and grow the cricket community,' Myers said. Grace's knowledge of the game, combined with a confident on-screen presence, makes her a uniquely powerful and authentic voice as the host of Game On with Grace. This podcast will bring authenticity, energy, and a fresh voice that will resonate with both longtime cricket fans and newcomers alike.' In January this year she joined digital sport platform Racing X as the new face of the Hong Kong-based international racing content operation. Her return to Channel 7 for this summer's Ashes series has not been confirmed but Aussie fans will likely be looking forward so seeing her in action as Australia takes on the Old Enemy.

New details revealed about DCE's Roosters deal
New details of Daly Cherry-Evans' reported switch to the Roosters have come to light including the length of the deal and a coaching role after his retirement. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer > Cherry-Evans is widely expected to join the Roosters in 2026 after declaring this will be his last season in the NRL, but the details of the deal have been kept quiet. However, Michael Chammas revealed on Channel 9's 100% Footy that the deal involves one year of playing in 2026, before transitioning into coaching in 2027. 'My understanding is it's a one-year deal. He will announce that later in the year,' Chammas said. 'It'll have a one-year continuing on as a coach. 'Danny [Weidler] last week spoke about how Daly Cherry-Evans will move into a coaching role once he retires.' Cherry-Evans will be 37 by the tiume his playing commitments end with the Roosters before he is expected to retire and move into a coaching role. The 36-year-old has scored 97 tries in 345 games for the Sea Eagles since his debut in 2011 and won a premiership with the club that same season before losing another grand final in 20213. Cherry-Evans has played 26 Origins for the Maroons before being dropped after game one this season and played 21 Test matches for the Kangaroos. 'No update there,' Cherry-Evans told last week when asked about his future. 'I'm just going to keep taking my time and make sure I make the right decision for myself and my family. 'But (I've) definitely still got a fire burning. That's always the most important thing, is you've got love for the game and a desire to keep competing. 'My focus right now is where it needs to be, and that's for the Manly side this year. 'We're sitting around that top eight at the moment, which is great. There's definitely lots of improvement left in us for the back end of the year. 'So if we can focus in and keep playing consistent footy, which we've done the last month, be able to play finals footy again, which is a big driving force for the team and I.' SHARKS IN DANGER OF LOSING STAR AMID CONTRACT STAND-OFF The Sharks are in danger of losing hooker Blayke Brailey after he rejected an extension offer from the club as he looks to test his value on the open market. WWOS' The Mole reported talks have stalled between Brailey and the Sharks after he rejected an extension offer and issued the club with a counter offer. 'They [Cronulla] made an offer - we didn't accept it,' Brailey's manager David Riolo told Wide World of Sports. 'I put a counter offer and they are considering it. We are kind of in limbo at the moment. 'But the clock is ticking and if it can't get sorted before November 1, he will go to the open market.' Brailey is considered a NSW Origin hooker of the future and is a homegrown Sharks talent that doesn't want to leave the club. However, if the Sharks don't meet his demands he could attrac t interest from multiple clubs on the open market come November 1. The 26-year-old has scored 16 tries in 155 games for the Sharks since his debut in 2019 and has been an ion man in first grade having hardly missed a game since his debut. TIGERS TARGET QUEENSLAND YOUNG GUN Fresh off locking up skipper Api Koroisau with a two-year extension, the Tigers are targeting Queensland under 19s young gun Javon Andrews. The Daily Telegraph reported the Tigers have turned their attention to Maroons five-eighth prodigy Andrews. Andrew is currently at the Gold Coast Titans and starred for the Maroons in their Origin win earlier this year. The 19-year-old overcame a spinal injury that threatened his career, but is back to full health. The Tigers are looking to shore up their spine depth after Lachlan Galvin and Tallyn Da Silva left the club mid-season, while Adam Doueihi is weighing up a move to the Panthers in 2026. The Tigers have been locked in talks with Doueihi over an extension and have tabled a deal believed to be worth around $350,000 a season. The Tigers are looking to the future with Jarome Luai and Latu Fainu as their halves pairing, but their skipper has a get-out clause that could see him leave the club if activated. Andrews would provide cover for Luai and Fainu and add depth while he develops into an NRL playmaker, while providing an insurance policy if Luai leaves.

Channel 7 presenter involved in ‘heated exchange' as man escorted out by security
Footage has surfaced showing Channel 7 star Andy Maher getting caught up in ugly scenes at the MCG on Saturday night. The Front Bar host was sitting in the stands watching his beloved Carlton take on Melbourne when he was approached by a fellow spectator. 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. A man can be seen getting out of his seat and walking up to Maher before he leans over the presenter and begins talking to him. Fans in the vicinity can be seen calling for security to remove the individual as a woman in a brown jacket attempts to de-escalate the situation. While it remains unknown what was said to Maher during the interaction, the 61-year-old remained seated throughout the nearly two-minute ordeal. MCG security ultimately stepped in to separate the man from Maher before they escorted him out of the area. His removal from the stands was met with widespread applause from those seated nearby. Maher spoke about the incident on his SEN 'The Run Home With Gazey And Andy' show, but said it had been blown out of proportion. 'Whoever has told you that story, they're going a little over the top,' he said. Aussie basketball icon Gaze earlier cheekily said he heard Maher had been involved in a 'heated exchange'. 'From what I hear, and I've heard this from a number of different sources, you were virtually assaulted at the football as well,' Gaze said. 'You were involved in a heated exchange with perhaps someone who'd had perhaps a few too many beverages.' Maher said Aussie comedian Dave Hughes had also been involved. The veteran presenter said he told the individual to settle down — advice that wasn't taken on board. Maher told Gaze: 'Well, he (the person involved) was escorted out of the premises. It had nothing to do with me. 'I just told the fella to sit down. I said, 'Mate, you're going to get thrown out if you keep going'. He got thrown out. 'I missed the start of it, but Dave Hughes was in the middle of it all at the start and doing a very fine job of sticking up for one of our veteran members of society, who had, apparently, drawn some unsavoury language from this bloke.' Maher said he believes the man was not a Carlton supporter. 'Hopefully he woke up the next morning feeling like a right git because he carried on like a pork chop,' Maher said. 'If he'd have just turned around and sat down and watched the last three minutes of the game and stopped doing whatever he was doing, he would have been fine.' Maher said he has seen too much unruly behaviour from spectators at football games recently. 'There's too much of that going on at the footy,' he said. 'There's too many blokes going and getting (drunk) at the footy these days. There's too much of it. 'There's too many blokes going to the footy – go to the footy and having a few beers, by all means – but why do so many people have to go the footy and get three sheets to the breeze? Why does that happen?' Maher went on to say: 'Why can't you just go to the footy and have a couple of beers? Why do you have to come along and get yourself munted and then make a fool of yourself and ruin everyone else's experience.' Despite the fourth quarter experience he endured, Maher's beloved Blues snapped a four-game losing streak as they defeated Melbourne by eight points.

Harley Reid's management table ‘biggest deal in AFL history' to Eagles
Harley Reid could be set to put pen to paper on the 'biggest deal in AFL history' with the West Coast Eagles. As Victorian clubs continue to circle the 20-year-old in the hopes of luring him back home, it now appears his future looks likely to remain in Perth. 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. On Sunday it was revealed the young star's management had approached the Eagles to discuss potential contract extensions beyond 2026 when his rookie contract expires. AFL Media reporter Cal Twomey detailed further information behind the offers tabled with one set to rewrite the record books. 'It's hitting crunch time in the contract decision of Harley Reid at the West Coast Eagles,' Twomey told Footy Classified. 'He's had contract offers in front of him since April that have come from the Eagles. But in recent weeks, his management have sent counter offers to the Eagles – and a part of that we can detail tonight include a mammoth offer that would be a two-year extension, plus an extension on top of that of another nine years. So an 11-year arrangement. 'This is groundbreaking, really, in terms of what it would mean for West Coast Eagles and Harley Reid as one of the options. We've seen this in recent times with the contract of Miles Bergman, who signed a two-year deal and then has an understanding with Port Adelaide that he can sign an extra seven years beyond that. So it's not unprecedented. 'But it would be the biggest deal in AFL history by some way and it would take him through to the end of 2037 – which is remarkable to think about – if he was to pursue that all the way through. 'This is enormous in terms of the $20 million-plus that would be on the table.' The staggering potential contract quickly whipped around AFL circles with fans divided on the deal. Lachy Steele wrote on X: 'Absolute insanity. Besides last weekend he hasn't shown he's worth anywhere near that.' ESPN's Jasper Chellappah wrote: 'Think this is really fair from Harley's camp. Commits to the club short term, gives West Coast three years to improve and if they're still a rabble he goes home.' Twomey stated the contract negotiations haven't moved a great deal, leaving the door open for Victorian teams to continue to try and poach him. 'The Eagles are still weighing this up and going through their own negotiation process – and clubs are continuing to hunt him in Victoria,' he said. 'I think Hawthorn are near-on obsessed with Harley Reid in getting him to the club. They want him badly, are willing to go to eight to 10 years at $1.7 million, $1.8 million to get him across the line.' Veteran journalist Caroline Wilson noted that Reid's camp were not interested in joining a rebuilding club if he were to ultimately return home. 'The player and his family have made it clear they do not want to go to a struggling club,' Wilson told Agenda Setters. 'They've got no interest in St Kilda, they've got no interest in Melbourne. I'm not sure if they've got much interest in Essendon at the moment, but Essendon have no interest in that sort of money. 'They (the Bombers) think that Hawthorn is right in there – and Hawthorn say there have been no meaningful talks – others say that Richmond and Melbourne are having a crack. 'I think West Coast also said to the management 'we're not interested in that sort of money' … but what has happened in the last 24 hours is that I think West Coast have come back to the table – and we're talking significantly more than $1.5 million a year.' Kane Cornes questioned if the absurd figures being thrown around would be the right way to go for the young star still trying to find his feet in the game. 'No criticism to him but are West Coast, with the issues they've had with the behaviour of their biggest stars over the journey — is that setting him up in the best possible way to be the best player he can be?' Cornes asked. 'This is what he's going to get every week. 'He gets 20 in the first half (against Richmond), he's on track for career-best numbers and they go 'OK we've had enough of this, we're just going to put a tagger on him'. 'If you play West Coast you are stupid if you don't tag Harley Reid, which is so unfair for him in his second year to cop that. 'It is going to get very, very boring for him playing in that side when he cops that treatment and loses every week.'
