It is the first time the Socceroos have played a competitive match at the Homebush-based stadium since their victorious Asian Cup final against South Korea in January 2015. Their last match at ANZ Stadium was 1-0 friendly victory against Greece in June 2016, with Mathew Leckie scoring a last-minute winner. The venue for Syria’s home leg on October 5 is yet to be determined, but the war-torn country has hosted their recent qualifiers in Malaysia because of tensions in their homeland....

The big-serving American will have the task of taking on the top-ranked Russian, Medvedev. Even if he was to find a way past the 23-year old, whose defensive capabilities have earned him the title of the Russian Wall, it will come down to an inexperienced Taylor Fritz or Reilly Opelka to get the better of another top-10 player in Khachanov. It’s a tall ask for any team. That said, the Italian side led by the flamboyant Fabio Fognini might be on to something....

RELATED: Attack On Titan: Anime Monsters Bigger Than Shifter Titans There are numerous disturbing moments in the anime and at times, the macabre and visceral deaths, dismemberment, and body horror can be desensitizing. Still, Attack on Titan manages to catch even its veteran viewers off-guard. The usual titan Paradis buffet just won’t cut it anymore thanks to these sequences that pushed the bar for discomfort. 10 Carla Yeager Dies (Season 1) There have been many titan-chomping-related deaths in the anime but one of the earliest ones remains as the most memorable and impactful....

Interim Chief of Police Vanessa Wilson said she was made aware of allegations of photos involving “multiple” officers and all were immediately placed on administrative leave with pay in non-enforcement capacities. Wilson did not reveal what the photographs’ content. They were alleged to have been taken on the street where the Black 23-year-old McClain was put into a chokehold by three white officers on August 24, 2019, after they received reports of a “suspicious man” wearing a ski mask....

The Supreme Court-appointed Justice Lodha Committee on Tuesday ordered suspension of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals from IPL for two years in a 2013 spot-fixing and betting scandal. Fleming is the long-standing coach of CSK. His future, along with compatriot seamer Tim Southee and several Australians, is in doubt after the suspension of their respective IPL teams. Australians Steve Smith, Shane Watson, James Faulkner, Kane Richardson and Ben Cutting were contracted to Rajasthan Royals this year....

But then again, Dillon doesn’t really like to watch himself on television, even as an actor instead of in an interview.

The Rev. Andrew Fox, 54, who was a volunteer fire department chaplain from 2013 to 2021, accuses the city of violating his free speech and religious rights over a comment on his blog. He is seeking reinstatement, damages and legal fees as well as a promise from Austin not to take actions against private citizens expressing “constitutionally protected messages” related to concerns over gender-identity and women’s sports. Fox’s suit has opened another battle in America’s culture wars between conservatives who say they face unfair discrimination for voicing traditional views rooted in their religion and those who say expressing such views can amount to offensive prejudice and harassment against LGBTQ people or other minorities....

McMahon shortening his superstars’ names has never been anything unusual, with former WWE performers like Antonio Cesaro and Alexander Rusev losing their respective first names upon arrival to the company’s main roster (and strangely enough, both ‘A’ names, not unlike Austin Theory). What makes Theory’s name change interesting is that a reason was given on-screen for the change, rather than a simple, abrupt and often out-of-nowhere kind of change like most....

Players have rejected Cricket Australia’s (CA) offer that would end a 20-year-old revenue-sharing model when the next collective bargaining agreement starts in July. The proposal offers more money than the current five-year CBA but allows only international players to share in surplus revenues, while domestic cricketers would have to settle for fixed amounts. Former test skipper Chappell was a leading figure in Australian cricket’s most bitter pay dispute in the 1970s, which paved the way for the breakaway World Series Cricket....

Richardson landed awkwardly on his bowling arm when attempting to prevent a boundary in Sharjah. The 22-year-old, who had taken two early wickets, watched the remainder of Pakistan’s innings with a brace on his arm and it remains to be seen whether he will play any further part in the series. Richardson’s injury comes just two months before the Cricket World Cup gets under way, so Australia will hope he does not face a lengthy absence....

Stuart McKenzie, from Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, was attending a call out in Marcoola, a coastal town about 60 miles north of Brisbane, when he found the Eastern brown snake. In a Facebook post, he said the “decent-sized” creature had been spotted slithering around the village. Eastern browns are responsible for more deaths in Australia than any other snake species. It is a venomous species that tends to be nervous and reacts defensively when surprised or cornered, Australia Museum says in a profile of the animal....

Carrying on from 191/7 in 88 overs, hosts Australia could survive just another 64 balls, within which they lost their remaining wickets of the first innings while adding 44 more runs. India thus obtained a 15-run headstart to their second innings, and openers Murali Vijay and KL Rahul proceeded with caution and completed their first 50+ partnership outside Asia. Though the both of them departed eventually, Pujara and later Kohli who replaced Vijay and Rahul respectively, displayed a classic case of Test batting as India’s arguably-best Test batsman and definitely-best-across-formats batsman combined at the crease, generating 71 runs in their partnership for the third wicket....

Australia added 21 runs to their overnight score of 147-4 before skipper Tim Paine declared to set New Zealand an unlikely target of 488 runs. Tom Blundell survived an LBW scare from Mitchell Starc and then got going from one end. However, New Zealand kept on losing wickets from the other end. Skipper Kane Williamson continued his horror run of form as he was adjudged LBW on the bowling of James Pattinson for a duck....
