The role of being Australia's Test cricket captain was once colloquially considered to be the second-most important position to being the prime minister in Australia. This fictional cabinet that features Anthony Albanese and Pat Cummins would be well-versed to extend a seat to another very important role in Australia's sporting sphere, to Joe Montemurro, the new Matildas coach.

Lmao Ligue 1 is such a stupid league
🚨 Official: The Ligue 1 Team of the Year. https://t.co/3cBGhA2Qgl
They’ve got to be so careful this calf thing doesn’t turn into an Achilles. I’d rather lose this series in five and Mitchell be healthy next season rather than make it to the ECF but he blows his Achilles in the next round. Particularly for a guy who relies on his explosion…
Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell to undergo MRI on Monday, says he ‘will be good’ for Game 5 vs. Pacers — but calf strains are dangerous, @TheAthleticNBA https://t.co/1gwgb3t0eC
If we’re talking 3-1 comeback probability, it’s a lot easier when you’ve got two of the three at home. Rest up (hopefully Donovan is OK), the one positive today is Darius caught a bit of a rhythm. Protect home court and win one road game. Not impossible
It’s unsurprising the Cavs had a game like this in the series (how bad it was is surprising). They went balls to the wall in G2&3 & are quite banged up. The original sin is losing G2. If they were up 2-1 before tonight, you can live with it. But G2 loss led to 0 margin for error
