๐ The dynasty continues
G'day sports fans,
๐ฝ โI donโt think the pyramids are man-made. The doors are pretty big, and we humans donโt need doors as big as those" - Nick Kyrgios on the Impaulsive podcast.

๐ The dynasty continues for what some call the best sporting team of all time.
Australia has won a sixth Womenโs T20 World Cup title after defeating South Africa by 19 runs at Newlands on Sunday, with an unbeaten half-century from Player of the Match Beth Mooney ensuring the defending champions secured a coveted three-peat.
The hosts fell short of the 157-run target despite a stellar batting performance from opener Laura Wolvaardt, who scored 61 (48) during the chase.
โWeโve played some fantastic cricket throughout this tournament. We probably werenโt in winning positions throughout the game, but we scrapped, and we fought, and we bowled the absolute house down.
๐ฆ๐บ Richmond tall Noah Balta was reportedly struck (in the mouth) by a fan while attending a local match on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was hit unprovoked when fans ran onto the field during a match between Croatia and Afghanistan at the 2023 Nations Footy Cup, reports the Herald Sun.

Understood to have a working title of "Miles In Front," the documentary is set to give viewers a fly-on-the-wall and "warts and all" glimpse into the lives of racing personalities in the lead-up to one of Australia's richest races.
