The comparisons with Usain Bolt are as unavoidable as they are unfair. The long stride, the elite 100-metre times even though 200m is his best distance, the winning, the records, the magnetic personality … it all aligns to make it too tempting to compare the eight-time Olympic gold medallist to a child from Ipswich.

"Good win?"It was a suitably quizzical, "Who put a question mark on the teleprompter?" tone struck by Queensland coach Billy Slater after his Maroons held on to win State of Origin II. Somehow, after leading by 20 at half-time, Slater still found himself speaking to the grit and determination of his team and another "backs-to-the-wall" victory. Since his ascension to the job, Slater has regularly talked about the millions of Queenslanders the team plays for.

As South Africa's batters ate into the victory target at Lord's, a party atmosphere gripped the usually staid Home of Cricket. Graeme Smith made his way to the boundary to join the celebrations as an interviewer and former teammate. Shaun Pollock stood up in the commentary box. AB de Villiers, ever the outlier, sat in the stands riding every moment with his mates and kids. On the field, a new generation not littered with legends of the sport was doing what those giants of the game couldn't.

Hammer and Toia were always going to struggle, but I don't know how anyone stops this. SEVEN players, all in motion. Cleary running the ball, Gus and Leniu on a lead run, plays out back to Luai, Lomax on his inside, Latrell and To'o outside. All within 20 metres. Insane.
To'o brings some energy to the Blues! 🔵 #Origin https://t.co/yom7WIjMR8
I honestly thought this was fake and been edited by a punter. Also, cowardly to finish with a shot of the trophy being lifted instead of committing to the bit and finishing with a shot of Jay Shah giving a thumbs up or something
A fantastic #WTC25 Final at Lord's with the @proteasmencsa lifting the mace on day four after defeating the defending champions @CricketAus https://t.co/sMlDXIhIVe
Yeah. Good. Very dumb rule.
The MCC has changed the law to make catches like this 'bunny hop' one from Michael Neser illegal. In short: If the fielder's first touch takes them outside the boundary, their *second* touch must take them back inside the field of play. Basically, you're no longer allowed to https://t.co/1jaqAev0hy
