Sportwatch: Adelaide v GWS, Waratah v Brumbies, Fever v Giants and more – live! | sport

Cricket World Cup: An account of the wounded net launcher of our ground man, Adam Collins – he was apparently taken to the hospital as a precaution. Let's hope for a speedy recovery for him.

Super Netball: The Giants have the lead at halftime at the Perth Arena, up 32-28 at halftime. The Giants have already accumulated two bonus points, which is bad news for the Fever who needs all the points he can get after a bad start to the season. Kaylia Stanton's goal-scoring stats – scoring after 30 minutes – are also worrying.

AFL: Adelaide has a slight lead over GWS at half-time, edging from 4.7 (31) to 3.4 (22). Josh Jenkins has done a good job for the home team so far, with six disposals and two goals to his credit in the first period.

Cricket World Cup: A local bowler was injured in the head during a training session with the Australian team at Oval.

From the PAA:

A local pitcher had to lie down after being hit in the head by a direct shot by David Warner during Australia's training session at The Oval. Australia was finishing preparations for Sunday's match against India when Warner brought a half-volley backwards.

The ball hit the pitcher in the head. He went to the ground and needed urgent medical assistance before being taken to a medicab. The Australian team expressed its immediate concern for the bowler and the practice stopped for more than 10 minutes.

Warner was comforted by assistant coach Ricky Ponting when he checked the man's well-being and did not immediately resume the baton.

Super Rugby: The Waratah had the brilliant opportunity to put the Rebels in second place in the Australian conference standings, but they do not seem to want to take advantage of it, trailing the Brumbies 28-3 at halftime. The Brumbies shared the scoring charge, while Christian Lealiifano was at the height of the boot, completing all four conversions.

NRL: Half the time in Townsville and the Cowboys lead the Sea Eagles 20-12. Jake Clifford for the North Queenslanders tonight, it is he who scored the three tries, including the decisive siren. The Sea Eagles will not be happy with their arrival at the half, making a 12-2 lead to get behind.

AFL: Very provocative discussion of ID9357571 in comments regarding the apology of the AFL to Adam Goodes this week:

"Thus, the apology of the AFL – three and a half years after the collective crime committed against the greatest indigenous footballer of this generation, in direct response to two documentaries describing their complicity in his despicable and racist treatment – evoke an exercise limitation of damage to the mark. And embarrassing not so subtle given the preview of the documentaries by the AFL.

Let me know your thoughts, whether in comments or on TwitterWas it a sincere apology or simply a case of damage control?

French Open: We have live blogs galore tonight! Check out our French Open blog as we watch an exciting semi-final between Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem.

Super Netball: Last week, the selection of Diamonds put an end to the dust, but the harsh reality of a mid-season break at Super Netball has begun to make its way. This has already had a positive impact, the NSW Swifts announcing this week that they would allow the English import Natalie Haythornthwaite to rest until the World Cup, not taking the field for her franchise. Super Netball only after the completion of the tournament. There are all sorts of complications resulting from this five-week break, which Erin Delahunty has marvelously broken down in her article this week.

Things did not improve for Rebels in the second half. If you can believe it, things got worse. Brandon Ennor and Sevu Reece each had a hat-trick for the Crusaders and the Rebels differential took a hell of a blow. A victory for the Waratahs on the Brumbies tonight will allow them to put the rivals of the South to the second place of the Australian conference standings.

Even if they can not look further with a conversion attempt after the mermaid, there is still much to be done for the Sharks tonight. A dominant 20-point win over the Eels will do much for their confidence at this point of the season and keep them safe in all eight.

Another good news for the Boys of the County, Wade Graham made a successful return to the field tonight, playing his first game in nine months after breaking his ACL in last year's qualifying final.

"I felt good," said Graham after the match. "The lungs needed a little work, but it was a relief to go out. I'm glad it's done and I can now get into the season. It was rather disappointing to leave these tests late, but we won and that's what counts. "

Hopefully the team will shout a sweet service to Engadine Maccas tonight to celebrate.

This was not the second period that the kangaroos would have liked, but they will be happy to take the four points of it. The Suns will take courage from a stronger second half but will regret the fact that it was too little, too late.

Kangaroo striker Mason Wood was pleased with his form in the match, but was quick to thank his team for his great work. "I'm a product of how the team is evolving – three wins in the last three games have been great," he said after the game.

Cricket World Cup: The match England – Bangladesh is about to start in Cardiff. Join Rob Smyth and Adam Collins for full updates and see if Bangladesh can sneak up against the hosts.

NBA: Interesting discussion point in the United States this week with news that the NBA wants to increase the number of female coaches and referees in order to reach 50%. Although I find the phrase "I do not know how this was dominated so long by men" by Adam Silver, NBA commissioner, is stunning. I have some ideas, starting with voluntary exclusion, which I could share with him if he is open to that.

Cricket World Cup: Have you listened to The Guardian's new cricket podcast? The spin again? Emma East is joined by Rob Eastaway and Jon Harvey to explain why cricket was better in the 90s. It's only 39 minutes, so you'll have plenty of time to listen before the England-Bangladesh match starts.

Super Rugby: Things do not seem so happy for the Melbourne Rebels, who lost 26-0 to seemingly unstoppable crusaders. This illustrates the difference between the Australian and New Zealand conferences, with the Crusaders being the first among the Kiwis and the Rebels the second on the Australian scale.

NRL: The halftime at Shark Park and the home team seem happy with a 14-point lead over Parramatta. An essay by Josh Dugan directly on the trotter prepares them for a big second half and allows them to push their home advantage for a well deserved boost of differential points.

French Open: If you plan to get up late to watch Ash Barty play in the final of the French Open, be sure to check out our Guardian live blog for the best live information from Roland Garros. To prepare for #BartyParty, read Simon Cambers' remarkable analysis of this young star's rise.

State of origin: The NSW Team for Women's State of Origin was named today, with Kezie Apps leading the team for the first time. Captain Maddie Studdon of 2018 retains his place, but he was asked to focus on his half-job. I think my favorite story of the team is 43-year-old Kylie Hilder, who returns to the hooker group after a decade. If it's not a return, I do not know what it is.

Women's World Cup: What a week of construction this has been – we are all looking forward to seeing the Matildas start their match against Italy tomorrow night. During the week, our sensational football reporter, Richard Parkin, met with Lisa de Vanna, Matildas veteran, for her thoughts on the team's preparation. It's refreshing to hear how honest and honest it is – so unusual in modern sport. I think fans of netball will see some similarities between Nathan's Nathan and Nathan's Nathan, from the birth of 1984 to the will to say what he refuses not to accept perfection on his part and that of his entourage. A fascinating reading.

AFL: At half-time on the Gold Coast, the kangaroos have a strong lead over the Suns with a lead of 9.5 (59) to 4.3 (27). A big win tonight could put North Melbourne in touch with the top eight, so they'll look to build in the second half and get a big percentage from them.

NRL: On the other side of the gap, the Storms were too strong for the Warriors, winning 22 points against the New Zealanders.

From the PAA:

Hughes stars in Storm outweighs the Warriors

Jahrome Hughes, a side defender in Melbourne, helped orchestrate a 32 to 10 win over the Warriors, allowing Storm to finish first in the middle of the NRL season. Not at their best before the second half, Melbourne was unstoppable beating Saturday in Auckland the end of the first half at the end of the first half to record a fourth consecutive victory. It was their eighth consecutive loss to the Warriors, who dropped to a 4-8 record and are considering a daunting task to play the finals.

Chief Executioner, Kiwi-born Hughes, scored the first two goals of his career at the NRL with crucial tries on both sides of the half. The 24-year-old made him after moving to the half-defender position, in which he played the last 50 minutes after Brodie Croft was forced to leave with a shot to the head. His energy, Cameron Smith's talent and the hard work of a group led by Dale Finucane allowed Melbourne to take control of a match assaulted by high winds and high penalties.

Despite the fact that Josh Addo-Carr, Will Chambers, Cameron Munster and Felise Kaufusi played three days after the start of their stay in the home state, they had the second half, scoring 24 points.

Kodi Nikorima was a central figure in all three first-half trials, with the Warriors having a 10-8 lead. Nikorima's speed allowed the impressive left winger Ken Maumalo to clinch his ninth try of the term. The diminutive five-eighths was then crossed thanks to a grubber of Blake Green.

However, Nikorima was the villain when Hughes penetrated him after a change of blind side in Smith. Hughes went for his second time in a controversial manner, the Bunker ignoring the allegations of Warriors' obstruction by Finucane on Issac Luke.

The late dominance of Melbourne led to tests against Suliasi Vunivalu, Jesse Bromwich and Marion Seve. Bromwich's try was deserving as Melbourne was reduced to 12 players after Christian Welsh's assassination for recurring foul.

Super Netball: The Adelaide Thunderbirds nearly provoked Darwin's nerves this afternoon, up one goal in the last quarter against defensemen Sunshine Coast Lightning. The late injection of Ugandan star Peace Proscovia sealed the deal for Queensland, but encouraging signs were observed by persistent cellar residents, the Thunderbirds, during the match. Sending to the Super Netball commission's new president, Marina Go, during the week, she pointed out that the league is as strong as its weakest team and that the rise of the Thunderbirds will be encouraging for them. organizers of the competition.

AFL: Great news for Carlton this afternoon, coming from behind to beat Brisbane in the first match of David Teague as head coach.

From the PAA:

Carlton came out in the first league match David Teague at the head of the league. He won back to defeat Brisbane by 15 points at Marvel Stadium. The Blues conceded the first six goals of Saturday 's game before preparing a return inspired by Patrick Cripps who will win 11.12 (78) to 9.9 (63), less than a week after sacking him. fourth-year coach Brendon Bolton.

Cripps was sublime for Carlton in his second win of the season, adding 38 caps and scoring four goals in another performance that should earn him three votes for the Brownlow medal. The brilliant skipper put the result undoubtedly in the final minutes when he came out of the pack and really beat his fourth major.

Ed Curnow (30 cessions, eight clearances) was also influential in the middle of the field and helped to suppress the influence of Brisbane's ball magnet, Lachie Neale, while his younger brother, Charlie, scored three goals in his best game of the season. Neale had 24 games at half-time, but only seven minutes after Curnow joined in the second half.

After seeing North Melbourne upset Richmond in Rhyce Shaw's first game, Carlton fans were hoping their own interim coach would talk about something similar. Six minutes into the second quarter, Brisbane had a six-goal lead and the Blues were not eliminated yet. The Blues had 10 of the top 11 players in the 50s but continued to spoil their chances, allowing Brisbane to take advantage of momentum.

Fast goals for Charlie Cameron, Neale and Hugh McCluggage increased the Lions lead to six goals before Michael Gibbons finally put the Blues on the board at the 12-minute mark of the second term. After reducing the margin to three goals at half-time, the Blues opened fire in the third quarter as Cripps quickly scored two goals. Mitch McGovern then took a strong and contested mark to give Carlton a head start and pave the way for a well-deserved victory.

Leading defender Harris Andrews left Harry McKay scoreless and was among the best in Brisbane, but the Lions were well defeated in the middle of the field. The Blues host the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium next Saturday, while the fifth-ranked Lions will face off in the mid-season draw with seven wins and five losses.
