The pace bowler continues to impress for Sydney Sixers in WBBL but isn’t ready to move on from soccer yet

AAP17-Nov-2025

Sydney Sixers teen sensation Caoimhe Bray wants to play elite cricket and soccer for as long as possible, still pinching herself she is following Ellyse Perry’s path.Bray, 16, captured headlines again on Saturday night when she became the youngest player to take a hat-trick in any of the main women’s T20 leagues.Still on modified training in cricket given her age, Bray remains in junior Matildas camps and has played as a goalkeeper in the national Under-17 side.Injury restricted her involvement with soccer last winter, while Bray has prioritised the WBBL over the A-League Women competition after signing a three-year deal with Sixers.The NSW product has conceded she will likely need to choose a sport at some point, but believes there is no need to make a decision imminently.”I have to commit myself to the cricket for the summer part of the season. And when winter comes around, that’s when soccer comes back,” Bray said. “So many people are asking the question will you still be playing soccer or still be playing cricket. People have their own opinions, like ‘go into cricket, surely’.”But so much can change. I have the three years signed with the Sixers and so much can change over that period. If you don’t know the future, neither do I. I don’t know what it will be like in a few years. But I am going to try and stick to [doing both] as much as I can.”Bray’s situation is eerily similar to Perry’s, who famously played in the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup for Australia while also playing international cricket.She said she was still pinching herself to be sharing a field with Perry, and doing her best not to bug the 35-year-old too much.Perhaps the most impressive thing about Bray is that her rise has come on largely modified programs.The seamer only did two days a week at NSW training in the pre-season, rather than four, and is still kept from bowling 10 overs in a 50-over game.”There were things during the Breakers pre-season I didn’t do compared to others, just because of my age,” Bray said. “It was just like there is no point for you to do it. They said: ‘you are changing so much in terms of height and body’.”You don’t want to overwork too much because that is when you break down. They are trying to look out for that.”

Michael Bracewell and Nathan Smith’s 52-run stand for the seventh wicket ensured New Zealand ended the rain-affected opening day on an even keel. In seam-friendly conditions at the Hagley Oval, Kane Williamson had set the platform with a half-century but once he fell, New Zealand collapsed to 148 for 6. They looked in danger of being bowled out under 200 before the lower order steered them to 231 for 9 at stumps.After winning the toss, West Indies captain Roston Chase had no hesitation in opting to bowl first. Apart from the overcast conditions and a green pitch, Chase also pointed to the venue’s history. Of the 15 Tests played here, including the current one, only once has a team opted to bat after winning the toss, South Africa in 2022.Kemar Roach, playing his first Test since January 2025, took only three balls to prove his captain right. Bowling around the wicket, he pitched one up in the channel. Devon Conway hung his bat out, got a healthy outside edge, and Justin Greaves did the rest at second slip.Related

But rain arrived after just 3.3 overs and halted play for 90 minutes. Another shower towards the end of the first session meant only 10.3 overs were possible before an early lunch was taken. New Zealand scored only 17 in that period.Williamson upped the scoring rate after lunch, hitting Johann Layne for two fours in three balls. While he was not always in control, he played late and defended with soft hands, like he always does. That helped him survive and also score runs on a difficult pitch.Debutant Ojay Shields had a forgettable start. His first ball in Test cricket was short and wide and a front-foot no-ball. Tom Latham, who was on 2 off 47 until then, cut it away for four. In his next over, Shields bowled Williamson through the gate but had once again overstepped.Kane Williamson celebrates his half-century•Getty Images

That showed there was still help from the pitch but Layne and Shields were not disciplined enough to take advantage of it. But Greaves was. In his back-to-back overs, he removed Williamson and Latham. Williamson was squared up and caught at second slip; Latham nicked an overpitched delivery to the wicketkeeper.Soon after, Jayden Seales castled Rachin Ravindra with a full delivery from around the wicket. Will Young made only 14 before Layne had him caught at second slip, leaving New Zealand 120 for 5. It was Layne’s maiden Test wicket. Shields followed suit when Tom Blundell inside-edged one onto his stumps.Bracewell and Smith then got together and revived the innings. Bracewell was the aggressor in their stand, while Smith defended well. Chase eventually broke the stand when Smith flicked one uppishly to short midwicket.Bracewell realised there was not much batting left and started taking more risks. The strategy didn’t work for long, though. On 47, he miscued a pull to give Shields his second wicket. Matt Henry also fell to the short ball, caught off Roach for 8. Two balls later, Roach hit Jacob Duffy on the helmet with another bouncer. As the physio came out for a concussion test, the umpires realised it had gotten too dark to continue.As a result, only 70 overs were possible in the day’s play. In those 70 overs, West Indies gave away 23 extras, which could prove to be decisive in these conditions.

At home, India have not lost both the Test and ODI series of a tour since 1986-87

ten Doeschate: A different start time could bring down dew effect

Big picture – Can India end rotten luck with the toss?The last time India lost both the Test and ODI series as part of the same bilateral tour was in South Africa in 2021-22. At home, though, India haven’t lost both the series of a tour since Pakistan beat them 1-0 in Tests and 5-1 in ODIs in 1986-87.South Africa go into Vishakapatnam with a chance of achieving that rare double. It is evident by now that it could well come down to the toss. The dew anyway plays a big part in ODIs in India, which is now getting accentuated by use of only one ball from overs 34 to 50. The side bowling in the afternoon gets the advantage of using an older, softer ball, which gets nullified in the dew in the night. South Africa won the last ODI despite being 35 behind India at the 34-over mark, which is when the fielding side gets to choose one of the two balls to bowl the rest of the innings with.Given such a premium on the toss, India will be desperate that they finally win one after 20 straight losses. The last time India won a toss in ODIs was in the semi-final of the last World Cup, and we are already talking about combinations for the next World Cup.The teams will have no option but to maximise the new ball in the afternoon and go for an above-par total for the conditions they are batting in. And then maximise the new ball in the evening before it stops moving. India managed to do both of those things in Ranchi, but only one in Raipur. It will be interesting to see if South Africa have capability to do both, but for that India will have to win the toss.Form guideIndia: LWWLL
South Africa: WLLWLMarco Jansen is staking claims to becoming a genuine allrounder•Associated PressIn the spotlight: Virat Kohli and Marco JansenVirat Kohli has gone back to back with centuries 11 times in his career. He has converted one of those into a hat-trick. Three centuries in one week. One of them came at his favourite venue, Vishakapatnam, where he comes back with four ODI hundreds and one Test ton to his name. He averages 97.83 there in ODIs at better than a run a ball. He has also scored 299 Test runs there for three dismissals. The form that he seems to have hit, you won’t want to bet against another hat-trick of ODI hundreds.Marco Jansen, who is staking claims to becoming a genuine allrounder, will still want to do more in his core discipline of bowling than four wickets at an average of 34.75 and an economy rate of 6.95.

The fiery spectacle unleashed by Bayern Munich’s ultras during their Champions League victory over Sporting CP was not merely a display of passion, but reportedly a calculated strategic manoeuvre designed to manipulate UEFA’s disciplinary timeline. By triggering an inevitable stadium ban now, the supporter groups aim to serve their punishment during a low-stakes fixture, thereby ensuring a clean slate for the crucial knockout stages of the competition.

• Bayern light up the Allianz Arena

  The Allianz Arena was plunged into a thick fog at the start of the second half on Tuesday night as the Sudkurve – the heart of Bayern’s active support – ignited over 80 flares in a coordinated display. While the visuals were striking, creating a wall of red fire behind the goal, the action caused significant visibility issues and drew the immediate ire of the club’s hierarchy.

  However, according to reports from , this was no spontaneous outburst. It was a pre-meditated "escalation" with a specific bureaucratic target in mind: UEFA’s disciplinary probation period.

  The probation trap

  To understand the ultras' logic, one must look at Bayern’s disciplinary record. The club has been operating under a suspended sentence following previous pyrotechnic incidents, most notably during the Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen in March this year. UEFA had explicitly warned that any further "pyro" violations within a two-year period would automatically trigger a partial stadium closure.

  The Bayern ultras were fully aware of the danger and by lighting the flares against Sporting, they have effectively pulled the trigger themselves, forcing UEFA to convert the suspended sentence into an active punishment.

• Why now? The Union Saint-Gilloise factor

  Bayern’s next and final home game of the league phase is scheduled for January 21 against Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise. In the eyes of the ultras, this fixture represents the "ideal" moment to serve a ban. Union Saint-Gilloise are viewed as a far less attractive opponent than the European heavyweights Bayern are likely to face in the round of 16 or quarter-finals. By triggering the partial stadium closure now, the ban will almost certainly apply to the match against the Belgians.

  Once served, the "probation" is effectively reset or at least the immediate threat of a closure is removed for the subsequent round. The strategy is to sacrifice the atmosphere for a group stage dead rubber to guarantee the Sudkurve is fully open and rocking when the stakes are highest in the spring.

  The plan reportedly goes even deeper. suggests that the ultras are already one step ahead of the inevitable sanction. Anticipating that the Sudkurve standing area will be closed for the Union Saint-Gilloise match, leading figures within the ultra scene are reportedly already organising the purchase of tickets in other sectors of the Allianz Arena.

  This would allow the hardline supporters to remain in the stadium, albeit in different blocks, effectively nullifying the "visual" impact of the ban while still technically complying with the UEFA ruling that closes their specific sector.

  Bayern chiefs furious about display

  While the fans may see this as a tactical masterstroke against UEFA, the Bayern Munich board is less than impressed. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen did not hide his frustration after the match, fully acknowledging that the club is now powerless to stop the incoming sanctions.

  "There will be a partial closure of the fans in the Sudkurve. That was a clear threat of sanction due to the probation we received," he said.

  Dreesen expressed concern not just over the financial penalties—which are expected to be substantial—but the safety risks involved.

  "I naturally do not find that good," he added. "The weather conditions meant the smoke and fog stayed in the stadium. I was briefly worried that the game might be abandoned due to visibility. It is simply unacceptable."

  As the smoke clears, Bayern Munich must now prepare for a hefty fine and a quieter Allianz Arena in January. But if the ultras' calculation proves correct, the roar of the Südkurve will return just in time for the matches that define the season. Whether UEFA will see through the "trick" and impose a harsher penalty for recidivism remains the only flaw in an otherwise audacious plan.

Sonia Bompastor has rued Chelsea's 'frustrating' loss to Everton on Sunday, a result that leaves the club falling behind Manchester City in the WSL title race. Chelsea have now failed to win their last three league matches following a 1-0 home defeat, despite dominating at Kingsmeadow as the Blues again failed to find the breakthrough as they fell to a narrow loss.

Getty Images SportChelsea dominated but failed to find the breakthrough

Honoka Hayashi's first half strike was enough to separate the two teams in west London on Sunday as Everton ended Chelsea's historic unbeaten run. It was the first time the Blues had lost a league game under Sonia Bompastor, who succeed Emma Hayes at the Chelsea helm last May.

Everton's 1-0 victory in the capital saw Chelsea lose a WSL outing for the first time since a 4-3 loss at Liverpool back in May 2024, a run of 34 matches since they last tasted defeat. After falling behind early on, Chelsea peppered the Everton goal, amassing 30 shots and 79% possession as they failed to find the breakthrough.

And after the defeat at Kingsmeadow, Bompastor lamented the "really frustrating" defeat which leaves Chelsea's title defence hanging by a thread.

Advertisement'I don't think the players could have done a lot more'

Following the defeat to Everton, Bompastor said: "It’s a really frustrating result. It's tough, but I think if we analyse the performance and look at the statistics, I don't think the players could have done a lot more. Maybe we could have been more efficient again, more clinical.

"We created enough shots, crosses, and we hit the woodwork three times. It's just one of these games where the ball didn't want to go in, and it was tough. If you want to win games, you have to make sure you score goals. I think, again, if you look at our statistics, we are creating enough to win the games, but we are just not being efficient at finishing the chances. I think, for now, what we need to solve is more like how we can get back to scoring goals.

"In the game tonight, we knew we had to be really switched on and focused on the transitions from Everton. I think they scored from one of these early on in the game, and then things changed after we were running after the result."

Getty Images Sport'We were not focusing at all on the unbeaten run'

While Chelsea's unbeaten run ended at 34 matches, Bompastor added that her side were not thinking about the streak, stating: "For me, we were not focusing at all on the unbeaten run. It was not one of our aims going into this new season. Our mindset was more like we started the new season from zero.

"We haven’t won anything yet. We want to be able to compete in every competition. We want to win trophies. Going into every game, we know it will be tough. This league is competitive."

Defeat at Everton means Chelsea have now failed to win their last three league matches as the Blues struggle in their title defence. Sunday's loss combined with Manchester City's 3-0 win at relegation threatened Leicester means City sit six points clear at the top of the WSL table having won their last nine league outings as they responded perfectly to the opening weekend 2-1 loss to Chelsea.

What next for Chelsea?

Chelsea are next in action at Brighton next weekend as they look to get back to winning ways. The trip to the south coast will be the Blues' final league game of 2025, and they return to domestic action with successive London derbies in 2026 with respective welcomes of West Ham and Arsenal.

The Blues then kick off February with a decisive trip to league leaders Manchester City, in a game that should have huge ramifications in the WSL title race.

City, meanwhile, round off the year with the welcome of Aston Villa next weekend, and start 2026 with a home game against Everton and follow up their meeting with the Toffees with a trip to the London City Lionesses.

The MLB season is just about halfway through, and one of the biggest surprises of the year thus far has been Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh emerging as the current home run king.

Raleigh has been a solid power hitter throughout his career, with 30 home runs in 2023 and a career-high 34 dingers last season. But he is far from a name anyone expected to be leading the likes of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani in the home run race as we neared the All-Star break.

On Friday afternoon, Raleigh made some well-deserved history against the Chicago Cubs that will stand in the record books even if Judge or Ohtani chases him down in the months of baseball to come.

In the top of the first inning, Raleigh went yard for the 28th time this season. The home run not only gave him the solo lead in the home run race once again, but it also tied a record for most home runs by a catcher hit before the All-Star break, matching Hall of Famer Johnny Bench.

With three weeks still to play before this year’s Midsummer Classic, it feels likely that Raleigh will inevitably take the top spot for himself at some point in the coming days.

Congrats to the “Big Dumper” on his magical season so far.

A school’s out vibe hung over England’s performance at The Oval but two players made events memorable

Vithushan Ehantharajah07-Sep-2024England’s farcical batting effort to start the day. Chris Woakes proving he is not perfect with some of the worst offspin for four-balls’ worth of bad light. The umpires telling Ollie Pope he could not use his quicks at the start of an extended evening session due for 43 overs but delivering just 17 of innocuous spin.Those were just three examples of a Friday that simply was not serious. And that’s before we get to Harry Brook’s innings. A bad day for the brand of Test cricket. An exception to the rule that this England are compelling viewing every time they step out the gate.There will be a temptation to say this second day of the final Test of the summer had an “end of term” feel. But those usually follow a whole lot of learning. And really, what did Saturday at The Oval teach you that you didn’t know about this series with Sri Lanka?Egging the head teacher’s car is a million times more enjoyable than watching the vastly superior of the two sides toss away their final seven first-innings wickets for 64 runs in exactly 100 deliveries. TP-ing the halls far more engrossing than witnessing an experienced seamer reduced to bowling off a few paces before sending down what Michael Atherton on commentary aptly described as “filth”. And the only thing the evening session had in common with the last day of school was everyone giving up less than halfway through.Related

Dhananjaya, Kamindu fifties add to Sri Lanka fightback

More bad-light farce at The Oval as Chris Woakes is forced to bowl spin mid-over

Test cricket relies on jeopardy – and this had none. It also requires respect and, barring Sri Lanka’s attempts to ensure this remains a contest, there was little of that, too. There were, however, two lone rangers fighting the good fight for relevance and meaning. And perhaps unsurprisingly, it was two newbies at different stages of their careers who provided it.Olly Stone regarded last week’s Test at Lord’s, his first cap in three years, as something of a second debut. A variety of injuries and a couple of screws in his back have not dulled his incisiveness, with four wickets in that comeback earned through wanging it into a length on a dull surface. And it clearly has not affected his swooping as he responded perfectly to a tip-and-run from Pathum Nissanka by throwing down the stumps.That dismissal, the first of Sri Lanka’s response to England’s 325, lifted the ground. Run-outs usually do; the something-out-of-nothing quality, the visceral mess of the stumps, the wild on-field celebrations that ensue. All set against the disappointment of the batter caught short, which in this case was Dimuth Karunaratne continuing on his way towards the away dressing room.”It was a great feeling,” Stone said. “Maybe a point where it was better than taking a wicket myself!”The 30-year-old went on to take two of those, punhing a hole in the middle order that Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis worked hard to cover up. Angelo Mathews was drawn into playing away from his body. Dinesh Chandimal was blitzed by a full inswinger that registered 89mph. A day after Mark Wood was ruled out for the rest of the year, that delivery in isolation was a timely reminder of Stone’s merits as an out-and-out quick.Josh Hull had his first bowl on debut•ECB via Getty ImagesThey were also the first and third wickets to fall for just seven runs in a three-over stretch that at least contained some sincerity. And it was largely because the second in that sequence belonged to Josh Hull.He looked bashful when it arrived. Perhaps because of the deliveries of varying lengths and lines that came before. Maybe because of the exuberance of his team-mates at their 20-year-old large adult son not just getting his maiden Test wicket, but doing for a classy Nissanka.The opener had jived his way to a pristine 64, profiting from Hull’s looseness before attacking a ball that was better than he thought; sharp, arching late, pitching just short of a full length. Woakes’ catch at cover was on a par with Stone’s run out for outfield excellence, but it was very much Hull’s moment.England were not lying when they said there was a lot to work with. Brendon McCullum’s insistence that picking a left-arm skyscraper who shapes the ball into the right-handers “is not a huge gamble” looked to be about right as he operated at an average of 82.6mph and clocked a top speed of 87mph.And then tea came and with it more light-related nonsense that meant the two central figures to England’s time in the field were unable to continue their work. That led to Hull contributing to the farce of the day when he dropped a sitter at mid-on that cost Shoaib Bashir his first wicket of the match. Bashir consoled Hull, who knew that dropping Dhananjaya on 23 (who finished unbeaten overnight on 64) was costly. Again there was embarrassment across his face, like he wanted a hole to open up and swallow him. At 6ft 7in, it would have given the San Andreas Fault a run for its money.Nevertheless, Hull will remember this day for the rest of his career and Stone may rely upon it alongside Lord’s and what is to come in this match for a role in England’s future, starting with tours of Pakistan and New Zealand this winter. For everyone else, it was one of the more forgettable days in this England team’s recent history.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers look to repeat as World Series champions, they are in a similar place to where they were one year ago heading into the final days before the trade deadline. Once again, the Dodgers are in need of help in the bullpen and outfield, and potentially another starter.

Adding pieces ahead of the deadline proved critical for the Dodgers last season on their World Series run. They traded for Tommy Edman, who became the National League Championship Series MVP. They also acquired Jack Flaherty, who by the time the playoffs rolled around, was one of only three starters the team used in the postseason due to all their pitching injuries. And reliever Michael Kopech went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA across seven innings during the postseason.

The Dodgers tried to avoid having any major needs at the deadline this year by addressing them during the offseason with their signings of Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Tanner Scott, but injuries have riddled both the rotation and bullpen. Snell, Sasaki, and relievers Scott, Kopech, Blake Treinen and Brusdar Graterol are expected to come back from injury before the postseason, but last season the Dodgers had several pitchers return only to suffer another injury. Given the Dodgers' drastic pitching injury history, depth is crucial heading into the final stretch.

Outfield isn't necessarily a dire need, but with Michael Conforto's inconsistent fielding and several Dodgers' bats slumping this season, it certainly wouldn't hurt to add another outfielder and bat to the lineup.

Before the trade deadline hits, here are four ideal fits the Dodgers could target.

Every baseball fan has been there.

In the third inning of Milwaukee's tilt against the Los Angeles Dodgers at American Family Field, Brewers manager Pat Murphy thought a ball was heading out for a home run. It fell just a few feet short.

Appearing on the national TNT broadcast, Murphy was mic'd up from the Brewers' dugout as third baseman Andruw Monasterio lifted a Clayton Kershaw slider 360 feet onto the left field warning track where it was caught by outfielder Michael Conforto.

"Get out of here. Get up. Get out of here. S—," Murphy said on the TNT broadcast.

Too relatable.

The Brewers did plate three runs Tuesday night, which was enough to earn a 3-1 win over the Dodgers. Rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski dazzled the Dodgers' star-studded lineup, logging 12 strikeouts and allowing just one run over six innings of work.
