New Delhi, Feb 21 (Ians) Australia’s cricket team landed in India at the start of February 2023 with optimism and confidence of winning their first Test series in the sub-continent. But, as of now, they are headed to the third match in Indore, starting from March 1, with a 2-0 deficit and their chances of winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy up in smoke.
Australia’s tour of India has been nothing short of a disaster, with injuries to key players, baffling selection calls and usual batting capitulation in the face of quality spin bowling making headlines back home. All of this comes especially after opting not to play a single tour match.
When Australia were skittled for 91 in the second innings of the first Test in Nagpur, it happened because the batters failed in trying to defend off the trinity of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel.

New Delhi, Feb 20 (Ians) Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood was on Monday ruled out of the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar series against India due to his injury.
Australia coach Andrew McDonald confirmed that Hazlewood is flying home to continue his rehabilitation from an Achilles complaint, crciket.com.au reported.
The injury which Hazelwood sustained in Sydney last month, had sidelined him from the first two Tests in India.
Australia captain Pat Cummins has also flown back to Sydney due to a serious family illness but is expected to return for the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series in Indore. Australia are yet to decide on whether to send David Warner home after the veteran opener was subbed out of the second Test in Delhi because of concussion.

Bengaluru, Feb 4 (Ians) Australia men’s head coach Andrew McDonald said on Saturday that all-rounder Cameron Green had made “significant” progress over the past couple of days and has got an outside chance to be on the team sheet for the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy match at Nagpur starting from February 9.
Green has not played since he fractured his right index finger while batting during the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the McG in December 2022. He then got into the gradual mode of training during Australia’s ongoing pre-series camp at Alur, Bengaluru on Friday.
“We’ve got a fair bit to work through him before the first Test match. We haven’t put a clear line through him or put him on the team sheet yet. I wouldn’t say he was in discomfort when he was bowling. One of the deliveries jarred the bottom of the...

New Delhi, Feb 4 (Ians) Former Australia cricketer Geoff Lawson revealed that current head coach Andrew McDonald’s viewpoint of the side’s success in the upcoming four-match Test series against India is broadly based around the quality of fast bowling rather than the temptation to fight spin with spin in the subcontinental conditions.
India are the current holder of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, having won the last three series against Australia in 2017, 2018-19, and 2020-21. Australia, on the other hand, are aiming to win a Test series in India, starting from February 9 in Nagpur, after having done so last time in 2004.
“I caught up with Australian coach Andrew McDonald in a recreational setting last week, but we naturally talked a bit of cricket. His broad view of Australia’s potential success in the next four Test matches was based around the quality of his fast bowling rather than the temptation to fight spin with spin.

For nearly 40 years, they have unleashed a blood-soaked blend of heavy metal horror with a distinct musical style crafted in the darkest reaches of deep space. They are Gwar, and they've leapt from the stage to the paneled page to wreak intergalactic havoc like only they can in the new graphic novel Gwar: In the Duoverse of Absurdity.
Pitting the members of Gwar against alternate dimension versions of themselves (what could go wrong?), Gwar: In the Duoverse of Absurdity is now available from Z2 Comics (along with a bunch of historic memorabilia from the band), and we had the great pleasure of catching up with SawBorg Destructo himself, Matt Maguire, to discuss his eye-popping artwork for the new comic, working on the graphic novel's mind-bending story, and the enduring legacy of Gwar through the decades (and into the future)!

New Delhi, Jan 31 (Ians) Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc has confirmed that he will be missing the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India as he continues to battle a finger injury.
Starc suffered an injury on the finger of his left hand in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa and subsequently missed the last game of the series.
During the Cricket Australia’s awards, when the host asked the Starc about his fitness, the speedster said: “I am on track… still a couple of weeks and then probably meet the guys in Delhi… after… hopefully, a first Test match win… get myself into training over there.”
The first Test is scheduled to take place in Nagpur from February 9-13, and the second in New Delhi from February 17-21.
Besides Starc, Cameron Green is also carrying a finger problem since the Boxing Day Test victory over Proteas.

New Delhi, Jan 29 (Ians) Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has admitted that as of now, all-rounder Cameron Green’s biggest challenge ahead of the four-match Test series against India, starting from February 9, is to be ready in time for bowling again.
After breaking his finger on the second day of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Green was ruled out of cricketing action after undergoing surgery for the same. He’s currently a part of the Australia training camp in Sydney for the last two days and is making steady progress, but he is in a race against time to be fit to bowl in the Nagpur Test.
“Where he’s positioned at the moment, his biggest challenge is bowling. There is a lack of loading there, and one of the key reasons around us getting into this camp early is to make sure...

Melbourne, Jan 14 (Ians) Ignored for the upcoming Test series against India, Australia’s white-ball leg-spinner Adam Zampa has vowed not to give up on making his debut in the latest version of the game but would prioritise doing well in white-ball cricket and excel for Australia in the Odi World Cup in India later this year.
Australia’s national cricket selectors on Wednesday selected a four-man spin arsenal for the upcoming four-Test tour of India with rookie spinner Todd Murphy making the grade on the back of some superb performances at the domestic level and for Australia A.
Murphy joins experienced campaigner Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson as potential spin partners for Nathan Lyon on a tour. Agar has recently made it back to the Test squad and played the third and final Test against South Africa and continues to be preferred as the national selectors confirmed an 18-player squad for the four-Test Border-Gavaskar series.

New Delhi, Jan 1 (Ians) Australia head coach Andrew McDonald believes that there is no need for a practice game before starting their four-match Test series in India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in February-March.
Australia had done something similar while touring Pakistan last year, practising on pitches in Melbourne, before landing in the country shortly to participate in the series, which they won by 1-0. It is believed that before touring India and starting the series from February 9 in Nagpur, there will be a three-day camp for the Australian players in Sydney.
In 2017, Australia prepared for the India Test with a ten-day stint on specifically prepared pitches at the Icc academy in Dubai. Before playing in the first Test at Pune, which they won, the visiting Australians played a three-day tour match against India ‘A’ at Brabourne Stadium. But, India, then led by Virat Kohli, bounced back from the loss in...

Sydney, Jan 1 (Ians) Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said on Sunday that the playing eleven for the third and final Test against South Africa, starting from January 4, will be decided only until they see the pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground (Scg), which is expected to be spin-friendly.
“One thing I’ve learned around wickets recently is never assume anything. I think we’ll just wait and see what unfolds from the ground staff in terms of the wicket they prepare. But what I will say around that is that we feel as though we’ve got a squad for whatever that surface may be. We’ve got pretty much all bases covered,” McDonald was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.
McDonald added that Australia’s selectors wanted a left-arm orthodox to complement the right-arm off-spin of Nathan Lyon, which is why Ashton Agar was included in squad for the Sydney Test.

Melbourne, Dec 24 (Ians) Veteran Australia wicketkeeper Matthew Wade has been handed a one-match suspension from the ongoing Season 12 of the Big Bash League (Bbl|12) for swearing during a match.
Wade, who is part of the Australia white-ball team in the T20 World Cup at home this season, is the captain of Hobart Hurricanes in Bbl|12 and will miss the Christmas eve encounter with Melbourne Renegades at Melbourne.
Cricket Australia released a statement on Saturday saying Wade had been served one suspension point after incurring three level 1 Code of Conduct breaches within the past 18 months.
“The charges in that period relate to two instances of the use of an audible obscenity and one instance of abuse of cricket equipment,” the statement said.
Wade’s suspension has opened up an opportunity for former Australian captain Tim Paine to make a comeback into the squad. The Hurricanes brought in Paine into the squad...

Melbourne, Dec 19 (Ians) As Australia gear up for the second Test against South Africa here on Boxing Day, they face a dilemma as senior Josh Hazlewood is back from injury and is facing a direct battle with Scott Boland for selection as the third pacer.
Skipper Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc are sure to get the first two spots, Hazlewood’s return to fitness has put the selectors in a quandary as Boland has done well in the first Test and put up a claim to be retained for the next Test.
Australia’s chairman of selectors George Bailey conceded that there is little to separate between the two pacers for a role in the starting XI and said the quandary was a happy one to confront.

Brisbane, Dec 13 (Ians) Australia have decided to include Scott Boland ahead of Michael Neser as the third pacer for the first Test against South Africa at the Gabba starting on Saturday (December 17), coach Andrew McDonald has confirmed.
Both Boland and Neser were included in Australia’s squad for the day/night Test against West Indies at the Adelaide Oval, which the hosts won to seal the series, in the absence of the injured Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc.
Both of them had done well in the match and it came down to choosing one and the Australian team management opted for Boland ahead of Neser. With Hazlewood still unavailable, Boland with partner Cummins and Starc as the third pacer against South Africa.
“Expecting Scott to take that spot at the Gabba,” McDonald told reporters ahead of Australia’s departure for Brisbane. “That’s the running line, and he’s done nothing wrong.

Adelaide, Nov 16 (Ians) Australia head coach Andrew McDonald indicated that cricket in the country could start seeing players who would be playing in all three formats of the game. He also praised veteran opener David Warner for having the impressive capacity to play in all formats of the game for Australia.
“As we go across the journey over the next four or five years, I think you’ll see more separation from players that potentially play all three formats, they might get shifted aside for the players who play 12 months of the year in the franchise world.”
“Therefore, working on that for 12 months of the year versus potentially another player that plays all three formats working on it for three months, clearly, that other player is going to progress at an accelerated rate. But there’s always going to be outliers, there’s always going to be players that can...

Melbourne, Nov 14 (Ians) Former Australian coach Justin Langer believes the “chopping and changing” in the side leading up to the Icc T20 World Cup at home was not the right way to go ahead of such a big event, and it could have played a big role in Aaron Finch’s side’s premature exit.
Australia, who were the defending champions, could not make it past the Super 12 stage, with the biggest blow coming from Trans-Tasman rivals New Zealand who thrashed them by 89 runs in the opening group game on October 22.
“Leading in, Australia were chopping and changing a bit, giving people the opportunities, not necessarily the right way to go about it but that’s just the way it worked out and giving some guys some rest,” Langer, who remained Australia’s chief coach for almost four years until his departure post the team’s success in the 2021 T...

Sydney, Nov 8 (Ians) Former Australian allrounder Simon O’Donnell firmly believes when players, rather than head coaches, start taking key decisions about the team, things can get “murky”, and attributes Australia’s premature exit from the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup at home to chief coach Andrew McDonald giving in to players’ opinions.
The 59-year-old veteran of 87 ODIs and six Tests has also expressed serious doubts over McDonald’s ability to lead the national side. McDonald was appointed head coach — first on an interim basis and then in the long term — by Cricket Australia (CA) after Justin Langer stepped down from his role as a short-term, six-month stint wasn’t agreeable to him.
Players were reportedly unhappy with Langer’s micromanagement of the team and things came to a boil on a couple occasions during his four-year stint beginning in 2018. Cricket Australia (CA) had to intervene to bring about harmony in the side.

Sydney, Nov 7 (Ians) Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke has slammed Aaron Finch & Co. for their “un-Australian” brand of cricket throughout the Men’s T20 World Cup at home, which resulted in their exit from the Super 12 stage of the tournament.
Australia’s defence of their title at home began on a bad note, losing to New Zealand by 89 runs at Sydney. That crushing defeat left Australia playing catch up and despite wins against Ireland and Afghanistan, they weren’t much convincing in their performances, culminating in them finishing Group 1 in third place with a negative run rate.
“I think Australians in general, on the biggest stage under the most amount of pressure, always put in on the line and have a crack. We’re not scared to lose. Yet we picked an aggressive 11 in this World Cup squad yet played so defensively. Very un-Australian,” Clarke said on the Big Sports Breakfast radio show.

Melbourne, Nov 6 (Ians) Australia chief coach Andrew McDonald has attributed his team’s premature exit from the Icc T20 World Cup at home to a “slow start” and the abandoned match against England, which made their semifinal qualification an extremely difficult proposition.
Aaron Finch’s side began their campaign to defend the title on a disastrous note, suffering a crushing 89-run defeat to New Zealand, which was soon followed by the hosts sharing points with England following a washout.
Australia’s qualification for the last-four came down to the hope of Sri Lanka defeating England in their last Super 12 fixture, but with Jos Buttler’s side emerging winners by four wickets on Saturday, the door was firmly shut on the home team.

Melbourne, Nov 2 (Ians) Defending champions Australia are staring at a premature exit from the Icc T20 World Cup at home following England’s thumping 20-run win over New Zealand at Brisbane on Tuesday, and former bowling allrounder Simon O’Donnell believes the slide in the team’s fortune began following Justin Langer’s exit as chief coach.
Langer, despite guiding Australia to a massive Ashes win earlier this year was reportedly forced to quit as Cricket Australia (CA) and some players were not in favour of the former opener getting a long-term contract renewal. Langer was offered a six-month extension, which he reportedly refused and decided to step down before Australia’s series in Pakistan.

T20 World Cup: Australia coach McDonald fears more Covid-19 cases in squad ahead of must-win matches
Sydney, Oct 29 (Ians) Australia coach Andrew McDonald believes more Covid-19 cases could crop up within their T20 World Cup squad ahead of must-win matches against Ireland and Afghanistan.
The sight of a masked-up Matthew Wade on Friday evening interacting with teammates from a distance at the McG during rain delays may have been jarring for some in a country that had, until recently, enforced some of the world’s strictest bio-security rules.
Speaking about the rising number of Covid-19 cases amongst players at the ongoing Icc Men’s T20 World Cup, McDonald said it’s possible that more cases could crop up in his squad.
“He’s been tucked away in a change room by himself, which he would hate because he needs people around him to keep him entertained,” captain Aaron Finch told the host broadcaster on Friday.

The sight of a masked-up Matthew Wade on Friday evening interacting with teammates from a distance at the McG during rain delays may have been jarring for some in a country that had, until recently, enforced some of the world’s strictest bio-security rules.
Speaking about the rising number of Covid-19 cases amongst players at the ongoing Icc Men’s T20 World Cup, McDonald said it’s possible that more cases could crop up in his squad.

Perth, Oct 25 (Ians) After playing a match-winning knock against Sri Lanka, all-rounder Marcus Stoinis on Tuesday revealed that he was nervous about playing at home because of the presence of his family and friends but he was happy with the result in his team’s favour.
Stoinis’ scintillating knock (59 not out from 18) — the fastest T20I fifty by an Australia batter off 17 balls — powered Australia to a morale-lifting seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka in a Super 12 match of the Icc Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 at Perth Stadium.
“To be honest, I was really nervous today being at home in Perth, with a lot of family and friends here. So, I was really nervous going into it but really happy that we ended up putting up a clinic there,” said Stoinis at the post-match presentation.
The attacking batter also spoke about the playing conditions and the advice of his coach.

For many of us Brits, just the mere mention of "The Great Escape" provokes an urge to tuck into a large plate of turkey sandwiches. When I was growing up, John Sturges' rousing prisoner-of-war thriller seemed like it was on telly every Boxing Day, and it is still regarded as a festive favorite in many U.K. households. At three hours long, it was perfect holiday viewing, ideal for killing off an afternoon drifting in that post-Christmas funk, with the grown-ups grazing steadily in front of the TV while the kids played with their new toys.
In his list of 10 great prisoner-of-war films for the BFI, critic Samuel Wrigley described it as the "epitome of war-is-fun" action films. From an era well before films like "Saving Private Ryan" showed us that war was hell in harrowing detail, "The Great Escape" is an upbeat war adventure for the whole family, playing...

Sydney, Oct 20 (Ians) Ahead of their first Super 12 match in Icc Men’s T20 World Cup against New Zealand here on Saturday, Australia have announced all-rounder Cameron Green as a replacement for injured Josh Inglis in their 15-man squad, with the approval of the Event Technical Committee.
Inglis, the wicketkeeper-batter who has played nine T20Is for Australia and was seen as a backup to the main keeper Matthew Wade, suffered a freak injury while playing golf in Sydney on Wednesday. He sustained a deep cut in his right hand when his golf club snapped at the shaft and sliced through, resulting in surgery being needed for the same and requiring stitches.
Green, who has seven T20I appearances, hit two half-centuries for Australia when filling in for veteran opener David Warner at the top of the order during their bilateral T20I series against India in September. Australia may...

Sydney, Oct 20 (Ians) Australia wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis has been ruled out of the Men’s T20 World Cup after suffering a hand injury, which head coach Andrew McDonald called “an incredibly freak accident” while playing golf in Sydney.
Inglis, who has played nine T20Is for Australia, sustained a deep cut in his right hand when his golf club snapped at the shaft and sliced through. His exit from the tournament now sees Australia in a conundrum on who would be the preferred injury replacement.
“An incredibly freak accident to Josh, unfortunately. Playing the second hole at New South Wales, a short par three, he hit a six iron and as he made contact with the ground, the shaft snapped around the grip area and cut into his hands. It’s not looking good for Josh,” said McDonald on Sen Radio’s Whateley show.

Melbourne, Oct 18 (Ians) Legendary Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist is confident T20I skipper Aaron Finch and his squad will not get overawed by expectation from the home crowd when they begin their Icc T20 World Cup title defence against New Zealand on October 22 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Finch’s side have struggled of late with the side losing the away T20I series to India and the home series to England recently. They have lost three of their last four T20s, including a six-run loss to India in a warm-up game at Brisbane on Monday. Finch’s return to form with a superb 76 in the warm-up game against India, though, is a huge positive for the side.
Gilchrist, the former Australia wicketkeeper-batter, believes the team has the wherewithal to successfully navigate the tough competition.
“I think he’s (Finch) experienced enough and calm enough, and just that consistency of Aaron Finch’s character,...

Melbourne, Sep 28 (Ians) Pressure could be building on Australia skipper Aaron Finch to perform in the T20I series against the West Indies ahead of the Icc T20 World Cup at home, given that tall all-rounder Cameron Green has retained his place in the T20I squad for the two games against the Caribbean side beginning in Gold Coast on October 5.
While Green is not a part of the 15-member Australian T20 World Cup squad, as they aim to retain the trophy won last year in the UAE, the fact that he figures in the side for the West Indies series could be an indication the power-hitter and utility bowler might get a last-minute World Cup call-up.
While Finch failed to fire yet again in the three-match T20I series against India, scoring a below-par 22, 31 and 7 as the visitors lost 2-1, Green scored a couple of half-centuries opening with the skipper,...

Sydney, Sep 12 (Ians) Australia’s men’s cricket coach Andrew McDonald has expressed satisfaction over the team’s progress and depth in One-day Internationals (ODIs) ahead of next year’s World Cup.
Australia has won back-to-back Odi series against New Zealand and Zimbabwe and have done even while the team is undergoing changes with captain Aaron Finch announcing his retirement.
The issue facing Australia now is to find a replacement for Finch as a white-ball skipper and opener.
McDonald said they have found some answers to these questions and will be trying a few more things before taking a final decision.
Australia overcame Zimbabwe 2-1 in Townsville before thrashing New Zealand 3-0 in Cairns — all while Australia’s selectors tinkered with batting and bowling options.
“The exposure that we’re giving some players in Inglis and Abbott and Green, with (Mitch) Marsh and (Marcus) Stoinis and (Pat) Cummins not in that last side,...

Townsville (Queensland), Sep 4 (Ians) Australia men’s cricket team coach Andrew McDonald has indicated the three-match One-day International series against New Zealand at Cairns, beginning September 6, will be the beginning of the process of streamlining the side for the 50-over World Cup in India next year.
Australia recently won the Odi series against Zimbabwe at Townsville 2-1, but the visitors too had some big takeaways, managing to upset the hosts, with part-time spinner Ryan Burl taking five wickets in the final Odi.
The three-wicket loss for Australia was a wakeup call and McDonald has insisted the Odi series against No.1 ranked New Zealand will kick-start a series of minor tweaks in the side in the run-up to the showpiece global event next year.
Australia made just one change during the series win against Zimbabwe with Mitchell Marsh returning to Perth to nurse a minor ankle injury. Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar...

Steve Orlando must be incredible to work with, because he lands artistic talent like he’s already a comics legend.
This isn’t meant to be a backhanded complement to Orlando. His writing is superb, and it has been since almost the moment he burst onto the scene - Virgil was one of the best comics when it came out, and that’s a pretty steep departure from the work he’s been nailing at DC. But once he started getting a ton of work at DC, it was one ridiculous artist after another - Aco and Hugo Petrus on Midnighter, Fernando Blanco on Midnighter and Apollo, Andy MacDonald and Ivan Reis on Justice League of America, Travel Foreman on Electric Warriors, and Riley Rossmo on Batman/The Shadow and now in Martian Manhunter,...

Marvel presses the randomize button to give us some fresh hero vs. villain matches.
Marvel is at a spot right now where they’re just kind of rehashing old event stories with a new coat of paint. Considering how much money they made altering the story of Infinity Gauntlet into two feature films, I don’t know if I can blame them. In the past few years, they did new takes on Secret Wars, Civil War, and even Amalgam. Next up is dusting off Acts of Vengeance and rebranding it as Acts of Evil.
Acts of Vengeance was an event from the early '90s with a simple and incredibly fun concept: a bunch of villains got together and decided to trade targets in order to hit the heroes off-guard. Spider-Man fights Graviton, Punisher fights Dr. Doom, Thor fights Juggernaut, etc. It was mainly remembered for Spider-Man...

Whenever a major comic book event rolls around, we anticipate for at least one character to bite the dust, right?
In keeping with such expectations, Marvel seemingly knows how to keep the tradition alive, as the currently ongoing Infinity Wars looks to check off that requisite box. Already, we’ve learned of how it’ll yield bizarre hybrids amalgamating some of our favorite heroes, but today’s news comes as being a bit more somber.
You see, the House of Ideas sent around cryptic teasers to the media this afternoon bearing the ominous title of “One Will Fall.” Bereft of any synopsis, our only assurances come in knowing that Infinity Wars: Fallen Guardian #1 will be written by Gerry Duggan, illustrated Andy MacDonald, and R.B. Silva will supply the cover. Oh yeah, there’s also some teaser art which you can view below.

When the fate of the world or even the entire universe is at stake, you always hope the heroes will swoop in and save the day. But I think it’s totally kosher to root for the villains if the only thing at stake was, say, mmmm… bragging rights after a game of pickup basketball??? In this art series by Andy MacDonald, ‘80s cartoon villains show off their hops, take it to the rim, and just like a real game of pickup hoops, I imagine these villainous characters let things escalate and get out of hand quickly. With the height advantage, Megatron must play center. Cobra Commander is probably point guard with those ball handling skills he's putting on display with that under the leg dunk. And given the fact that Krang is lazily laying up the wrong object, they should have let him come in on the next game.

Andrew MacDonald, an award-winning visual effects guru who was fired from Ascent Media Group after blowing the whistle on the alleged drug habits of one of his superiors, was awarded $450,000 by a jury on Tuesday for wrongful termination. The jury award represents two years of salary and could climb higher after the parties reconvene in Los Angeles Superior Court over the issue of punitive damages. It comes more than three years after MacDonald spoke up about Alex Frisch, best known as the visual effects supervisor on the Pirates of the Caribbean films, who according to court papers

The film opens on September 21st and although we would have liked a video with Lena Headey, there isn't one at this point at least. The cast of the Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich-produced film also has Jason Cope, Joe Vaz, Rakie Ayola, Warrick Grier, Domnhall Gleeson and Luke Tyler on board. The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets.
