G'day sports fans,

“have a beer” - Cherry-Evans  when asked how he will keep his mind off the selection squeeze.

🏏 Another batting prodigy has burst into the spotlight, with Ashley Chandrasinghe compiling an old-fashioned century on Sheffield Shield debut over the weekend.

The talented left-hander scored an unbeaten 119 (333) against Tasmania at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval on Sunday, guiding Victoria to 7/351 declared in the first innings.

🇦🇺 Port Adelaide’s prized recruit Jason Horne-Francis has undergone surgery on both legs after experiencing “debilitating pain”.

⛳️ Rising Australian star Harrison Crowe will happily put off turning professional for another 12 month after earning a dream ticket to the Masters and Open Championship next year with a stunning one-shot win in the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.

🇦🇺 A teacher from the Western Australian outback has helped lead Pakistan to an unlikely sporting triumph.

Key points:

  • Pakistan overcame a pair of WAFL stars to claim a title in the country's first appearance at AFL Asia's Asian Championships

  • One player has now received an invitation to ply his trade in Australia

Michael Gallus, a former part-time AFL recruiter and now a teacher at Noonkanbah in the Central Kimberley, had just a few weeks to recruit and train a group of players to compete at the 2022 Asian Championships in Thailand earlier this month.

While most teams were bolstered by Aussie expats, including former AFL players and current WAFL stars, the Pakistan side consisted entirely of Pakistani nationals.
