There are urgent calls for Australia to take action before the team return to Iran but with no word from the players themselves the situation is fraught and uncertainTheir forward was once suspended when her head scarf slipped off during a goal celebration. Their youngest player is just 18. Another once worked as a personal trainer overseas.

- Raducanu loses in 52 minutes to No 6 seed Anisimova in Indian Wells third roundby Agencies on 09/03/2026 at 12:55 am

- Collingwood’s cool heads rise to big AFL occasion and make point to naysayers | Jonathan Hornby Jonathan Horn on 09/03/2026 at 12:19 am
The Magpies didn’t enjoy the best off-season but they excelled in opening round at the MCG as too many fumbles and shanks cost St Kilda dearlySt Kilda spent the summer talking up Sunday night’s opening round game, and Collingwood spent the summer being talked down. It was St Kilda’s occasion, but it was Collingwood’s game. The Saints had the hope, the hyper-inflated recruits, the best paid player in the sport and the largest home-and-away crowd they’d ever played in front of. But Collingwood had cool heads, manic pressure, a wily old fox in his 426th game and two brothers who had 77 touches between them.The Pies didn’t have the greatest of summers. It felt like the majority of pundits, including this one, had them missing the top 10 (do I have to say that now?). There were all sorts of rumours swirling about regarding the coach Craig McRae, which he and the club were forced to confront publicly. Their captain Darcy Moore was injured. They were coming off less than convincing scratch matches at La Trobe University and Ballarat. Continue reading...
- Akshay Bhatia denies Berger in playoff to win Arnold Palmer Invitationalby Ewan Murray at Bay Hill on 08/03/2026 at 11:05 pm
Bhatia wins on first playoff hole at Bay HillBerger had led by four shots on the back nineA straightforward conclusion to the Arnold Palmer Invitational is apparently impossible. Palmer himself would approve, even if events at the tournament still played in tribute to a golfing icon can feel grisly at times. This, the Florida swing, is the PGA Tour’s most testing spell. Glory came to Akshay Bhatia after one sudden death hole in competition with Daniel Berger. The 24-year-old Bhatia, a charismatic left-hander, will bounce towards Sawgrass and Thursday’s Players Championship.A year after Collin Morikawa stumbled in painful fashion at Bay Hill, Berger was dragged into the most unlikely of scraps by Bhatia. Berger had led by four at the Sunday turn. Bhatia jabbed back, courtesy of four birdies in a row. Berger secured leeway again at the 15th, where Bhatia’s missed attempt at par came after officials had told the pair to pick up the pace. Game over? Not at all. Bhatia flew a wonderful approach to the par five 16th, setting up the eagle that reduced Berger’s advantage to one. Shot of the day? It was shot of the tournament. The duo were all square on the 18th tee after Berger three-putted the penultimate hole. Continue reading...
