Nathan Lyon's cricket WAG wife Emma flies first class to England with $22,000 worth of accessories and $1,500 of in-flight skincare
Emma Lyon flaunted all the benefits of being a cricket WAG on Tuesday as she showed off her wealth while flying first class to England. The mother-of-one, who shares a one-year-old daughter with cricketer Nathan Lyon, was travelling to the UK to attend the World Test Championship. But as she documented her journey on Instagram, she took the time to highlight her expensive $22,000 accessories and $1,500 collection of in-flight skincare. Emma shared videos of herself cuddling up to her daughter as she arrived at the airport for her first class Qantas flight. In one clip, she could be seen holding her bub as she stood on an escalator with a black Chanel bag worth a jaw-dropping $19,230.

She also carried a tote bag from FWRD Renew worth $3,725, for a total of $22,955 worth in accessories—but the luxuries didn't end there. Emma went on to share an inside look at her skincare bag, showing off a range of luxe products worth a total of $1,487 all up. The most expensive of the items was a 'repairing and regenerative' face cream from Biologique Recherche worth a shocking $390. She also included the full range of formulations from Rationale—Milk Concentrate ($214), Enriched Crème ($212), two Serums ($206 and $204), and Cleanser ($120). Emma also added Clarity Peptides from Medik8 ($101) to her skincare bag, as well as a $25 facemask from 111SKIN and a $15 lip balm from Lanolips. The WAG finished off her reel of content with a short clip showing her completely flawless and glowing complexion after lathering her face with the products. Her ritzy trip comes after Emma finally confirmed she and Nathan welcomed a baby girl to the world in September 2023. They made the reveal in October 2024, with Nathan now a father to three girls as he shares two children with his ex-partner Mel Waring. Emma posted two images of her daughter to Instagram at the time, captioning the photos with 'Mini me'. In one of the pictures, the youngster could be seen wearing a T-shirt which read 'daddy's girl'. There was no indication Emma was expecting prior to her daughter's birth, with the glamour couple doing an amazing job of keeping the pregnancy under wraps. She attended the 2023 Ashes tour in the United Kingdom with the rest of the Australian team's WAGs after marrying Nathan in July 2022. Emma appeared to have carefully edited photos she posted on her Instagram to avoid any shots which would give away a pregnancy. Even when spotted by paparazzi, Emma was wearing an overcoat which would have covered any tell-tale signs. The fiercely private couple also kept their engagement a secret before they were eventually married. Emma and her bowling beau's relationship began in scandalous circumstances, as they had been caught kissing in Perth in late 2017 while Nathan was still with Mel. Mel detailed their heartbreaking split in a blog post in March 2018. She said on social media her pain was 'real and deep' and recounted nights when she would lie in bed with her children and cry. 'I didn't ask for this, this wasn't the way my life was supposed to be. He was my forever, he was my whole world,' she wrote. Mel has since found love with a new man, but has not revealed his identity. Nathan and Emma started dating in 2017 and bought their Sydney home together in 2020. Rumours started to swirl that their engagement was on in 2022. That was later confirmed when Emma was spotted with a hefty ring on her wedding finger at the fourth Test against India at the Gabba.

Incredible Sam Konstas act emerges as Aussie teen expected to be snubbed for World Test Championship
Sam Konstas is reportedly set to be snubbed for the World Test Championship final for a batsman who has never opened at the international level, but the teenager is doing all he can to change selectors' minds. Last week Cricket Australia announced its 15-player squad for the marquee fixture against South Africa at Lord's which gets underway on June 11. Skipper Pat Cummins, experienced quick Josh Hazlewood and all-rounder Cameron Green are among the inclusions to the squad, with Konstas also named. However, with Green impressing in his return to cricket after an injury lay-off, the Sydney Morning Herald reports Konstas is set to be overlooked for the final, with Marnus Labuschagne favoured to join Queensland teammate Usman Khawaja at the top of the order, with Green coming into the 11-man team down the order. That would mean Labuschagne would become the fifth player to open alongside Khawaja since Warner's retirement, with Steve Smith, Nathan McSweeney and Konstas each occupying the role before Travis Head was elevated up the order for this year's Test tour of Sri Lanka. But Konstas is doing all he can to persuade selectors to pick him as opener, which would almost certainly come at the expense of Labushagne. His desire to improve and lock down the opener spot in the Australian Test side led him to fly to Brisbane for a net session with veteran spinner Nathan Lyon, all at his own expense. 'I thought I'd give Sam a call because the weather has been horrendous here in Sydney and it might be a good idea if Sam came up with me for a day and he could have a hit with Marnus (Labuschagne) and face me for a little bit,' Lyon told Code Sports about the private net session. 'Sam is incredibly talented. He's still learning his game and that's a joy to watch and hopefully be a part of in some way or another. Whether it's passing on a bit of advice or just talking about playing spin bowling, or whatever it might be. 'This is the role of the senior player. The likes of Ponting, Hussey and Haddin did that for me when I was early in my career. 'Sam is willing to learn and he wants to learn and that's the best thing about Sam. You can see that.' Lyon feels that Konstas is on the right path but just needs to learn when to bring out his showmanship strokes. 'He obviously has the game. We all know he has the skill, that was on display for his first entry into Test cricket. He's got a big future ahead of him,' Lyon said. 'Hopefully he can keep chipping away and keep working on his game and understanding when he can play those big shots and then when he needs to knuckle down and defend.' Konstas has also been up to Brisbane three times in recent weeks for official Cricket Australia camps with other WTF Final squad members.

Sri Lanka stare at defeat in second Australia Test
Sri Lanka were reeling at 98-4 at tea on day three in Galle on Saturday and staring at their second loss in the two-Test series against a dominant Australia. The hosts still require a further 60 runs to avoid an innings defeat, with survival looking improbable. With the picturesque Galle Fort providing a natural grandstand, hundreds of Australian supporters perched themselves atop the historic ramparts to enjoy a commanding performance from their side. The fans celebrated as off-spinner Nathan Lyon became only the third Australian to claim 550 Test wickets, joining the exalted company of Shane Warne (708) and Glenn McGrath (563). Fittingly, Lyon's Test career began at Galle in 2011 and he celebrated the milestone in style, tightening the screws on Sri Lanka. Despite Australia losing seven wickets in the morning session to be bowled out for 414, their first-innings lead of 157 put them well ahead. Alex Carey turned entertainer-in-chief with a swashbuckling 156 -- his career-best knock and the highest score by an Australian wicketkeeper in Asia. Prabath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka's spin spearhead, claimed his 11th five-wicket haul, but it was only a consolation with the visitors remaining firmly in control. Sri Lanka's reply got off to a shaky start, with left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann making early inroads. Dimuth Karunaratne, playing in his final Test innings, walked off to a standing ovation after he fell to Kuhnemann for 14, with even the Australian players acknowledging his stellar career. The veteran opener, who became only the seventh Sri Lankan to play 100 Tests, bows out as the nation's fourth-highest run-scorer and their most prolific opener. Lyon's landmark wicket was straight out of a coaching manual. With long-off and long-on left vacant, he dangled the carrot for Dinesh Chandimal, who attempted an ambitious lofted shot. But the former captain failed to get the required elevation and the ball nestled safely in the hands of mid-off -- a classic trap, perfectly executed. Kamindu Mendis, recently named ICC Emerging Player of the Year, endured a series to forget, failing to reach fifty after four innings. His poor run continued when he chipped a simple catch to mid-off, handing Lyon his second wicket of the innings. The visitors have already put the Warne-Murali Trophy beyond Sri Lanka's reach, having taken an unassailable 1-0 lead with a crushing victory in the first Test. That innings and 242-run humiliation stands as Sri Lanka's worst defeat in Test history. Agence France-Presse
