Speaker 1 (00:01):
While you were sleeping. Yes, good with sports fans and
happy Wednesday. Amountdown by the White Ferns batting line up
against Australia in their second T twenty cricket match in Saja,
the White Funds ends up losing by sixty runs. Initially,
they can competed via a four prong spin attack which
restricted the defending champions to one hundred and forty eight

(00:23):
for eight. Melia Curve finished with the figures of four
four twenty six. However, the chase collapsed for eighty eight.
New Zealand were fifty four to one and the eleventh
over cruising on quite nicely to sixty for six in
the space of nineteen balls as the middle auder foul
tibits Sri Lanka eleven o'clock Saturday night is their next match. Meanwhile,

(00:45):
in Milktown, Pakistan have posted five hundred and fifty six
on the second day of the first Test against England.
Slam Aja joined captain Shahan Mohsud and opener Abdul Shafiq
as century makers. The visitors England they ninety six to
one in reply at stumps on day two. Spanish footballer
Andre Anesta has retired. He struck in the one hundred

(01:07):
and sixteenth minute of the twenty ten World Cup decider
against the Netherlands to win the country's maiden tournament. The
forty year old ends a career. They also included two
European Championship titles and four Champions League trophies with Barcelona
to Rugby League. Now in trouble for the Western Bears
bid to join the NRL in twenty twenty seven as
part of the expansion plans. The Sidney Morning Here reports

(01:30):
that officials are fuming over a low ball business proposal
from the consortium behind the club's revival, falling short of
financial requirements. The bid would have seen the team based
in Perth and operated by a joint venture with North Sydney,
including backing from the Western Australian government. The NRAL are
now hoping to work with legislators to keep the bid alive.

(01:51):
Steven Adams has returned to the NBA basketball court for
the first time in almost a year. The Houston Rockets
appeared in his side's preseason contest against the Utah Jazz.
That marks his first game since the same period last year,
when he was a member of the Memphis Grizzlies, but
missed the entire season with a knee injury. Adams recorded
fourteen minutes on the court, coming away with four rebounds

(02:11):
and an assist.
