Put a line through them ladies and gentlemen. The Roosters’ season is over after just 70 minutes. No team has ever recovered to win the premiership after conceding 50 points in a game. #NRLRoostersBroncos

South Sydney are expected to face NRL scrutiny after a suspected paramedic booking oversight caused a 100-minute delay to their trial match against Manly, almost forcing the game to be abandoned. Volunteers from crowd eventually saved the day. #NRL On AAP. aapnews.aap.com.au/a/AGQgPfEA

Sounds absurd, but SCG Test could be Scott Boland's last. He's36 in April, Australia tour spinning wickets in 2025 and he's only once been picked in a full-strength XI. But Friday may also have been his strongest case to always be in the first-choice XI. #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/XjGgMIBd

Beau Webster’s rise from inconsistent domestic player to Test debutant as unique as it is deserving. Only second player this century to make Australian Test debut at 31 or older, without playing ODIs or T20Is in their 20s. Has averaged 57.1 since March 2022. #AUSvIND 7news.com.au/sport/cricke...

Travis Head wouldn’t recognise the batter who walked out at No.5 against India at the MCG four years ago. Was dropped after that match, went and had a lean county stint before an innings at Kent that changed his career. On AAP #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/wbnQdUYb

Sam Konstas is a Wests Tigers fan born four days before Benji Marshall’s flick pass in the 2005 NRL grand final. We’re watching the cricket version of that pass on the game’s biggest stage on Boxing Day. #AUSvIND

Sam Konstas the youngest man to open for Australia in history. Usman Khawaja the oldest man to open for Australia since Lindsay Hassett in 1953. First time in history one Australian opener has been double the age of his partner (in terms of years). #AUSvIND

Sam Konstas today joins two cult heroes, a one-Test wonder, Italy's national captain, an Australian selector, the country's equal-most-capped player and a fellow Cranbrook alumni in one of cricket's quirkiest groups. On AAP #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/gGWJQfrv

Only five Australian men born between 1994 and 1998 have graduated to Test cricket. That’s the lowest of any five-year window since 1898-1902. Why a dearth of talent of those in their late-20s is Australia’s real team-transition issue. On AAP #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/zRGoWhdg

Ezra Mam would cop a bigger fine for a careless high tackle on an NRL field, than the $850 imposed by Queensland's courts for driving into a family with a cocktail of drugs in his system. #NRL

One session to play, and we've got 42 overs left to bowl at the Gabba still today. Forget rain, we'll lose an hour of cricket to pure tardiness. And the scoreboard at the Gabba? Showing India's over-rate as on par. #AUSvIND

Early stumps at the Gabba. No more play today. Full refund for the 30,000+ fans in attendance. #AUSvIND

And it’s raining again. #AUSvIND

The rain has stopped and the Gabba has drained remarkably well, even by its standards. About a 40% chance of rain for rest of the day. Might well get some more cricket yet. #AUSvIND

I present to you: Lake Gabba #AUSvIND

Can confirm it is raining at the Gabba. And it’s not going to be a quick clean up. #AUSvIND

Tests are getting shorter. Much shorter. Matches this decade are finishing faster than any since the 1880s. Only four Tests have gone two day five in the past three-and-a-half summers in Aus. And less than 42% do now worldwide. #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/MGMLvFgE

Josh Hazlewood appearing to have no issue bowling off a full run up in Brisbane, as he fights to return from a side strain. He and Mitchell Starc have gone off site from the Gabba. Footage captured by Joel Gould for AAP. #AUSvIND

Papua New Guinea are about to be announced as the NRL's shiny new toy, with a team entering in 2028. But the new franchise will have to wait almost two years to start shaping its roster. So should November 1 exemptions be made for expansion sides? On AAP #NRL www.aapnews.com.au/a/rRBdjsGN

Phillip Hughes was a pioneer for professional cricketers seeking life balance. His Four 0 Eight Angus cattle farm forever remains part of his legacy, as does the fact he found best mates in Adelaide club cricket after arriving as a Test star. For AAP #cricket www.aapnews.com.au/a/YdxPxUvq

Phillip Hughes was a generational talent, ready to take the cricket world by storm when his last innings was tragically ended 10 years ago today at the SCG. Days before his 26th birthday, he was on a trajectory greater than anyone since Ponting. For @AAPSport 7news.com.au/sport/cricke...

Australia’s biggest losses at home in terms of runs. Fair fight on at this stage to avoid this being the worst in the 21st century. #AUSvIND

31st Test that Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc & Lyon have played together Virat Kohli is the 500th wicket taken by the quartet in those matches 130 - Cummins 124 - Hazlewood 124 - Starc 122 - Lyon #AUSvIND

Reckon there’s something to be said about how different Australian pitches are since India’s last tour. In six summers before that series, wickets fell every 67 balls at average of 37 runs each. In three summers since, it’s every 52 balls at average of 29. #AUSvIND www.aapnews.com.au/a/XjwPRHBd

Alyssa Healy to miss Aussies' ODI series against India with her knee injury. Selectors otherwise expected to stick solid to same group from World Cup, with a review into semi-final exit continuing. Aussies believe they have the right players, just how they use them. www.aapnews.com.au/a/wboPoHYb

Sixers WBBL season now pretty much done I reckon. With Hobart playing Perth in the last round, they’d need a NRR miracle to make it. Brutal way to have their hopes extinguished. Few overs short of a result against Thunder when on top, and then a super over tie against Perth. #WBBL10

30 NRLW games will clash with men’s matches at the same time in the 2025 draw. That number was seven last year. Even with expansion, that is a huge jump. Double-headers with men may increase crowds, but risk hurting ratings and future TV value. On AAP Sport #NRLW www.aapnews.com.au/a/vdqJVCmr

Every club’s NRL draw ranked from hardest to easiest. Difficulty number is based on aggregate 2024 ladder position of 2025 opponents. Lower the score, the harder the draw. Life very good for the Bulldogs, with best opponents, less travel and equal-most free-to-air TV games. On AAP #NRL

For what it’s worth, Manly requested Magic Round bye. Was granted to them after years of giving up a home game against Broncos up there. Also, a lot of people get frustrated over teams being made to give up home games. All eight “home” clubs opt to do it and are paid in return. #NRL

Manly have gone from Magic Round pioneers to left right out, while Brisbane are also gone from the Friday night slot in a massive shake up. The Broncos will instead play a Sunday blockbuster against Penrith instead. Magic Round details ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #NRL www.aapnews.com.au/a/dgwGxFQz
