The Adelaide Thunderbirds have scored their first Super Netball title, beating the NSW Swifts 60-59 in overtime. British recruit Eleanor Cardwell was the MVP, shooting 36 goals from 39 shots… And she also gave her team a rousing pep talk featuring some passionate language we won’t include here…

On the cricket pitch, the Aussie men’s team lost out to England in the third Ashes Test, as the Poms successfully chased down 251 runs to win. Our team is up 2-1 as the men head into the fourth test on 19 July. The Aussie women’s team still leads the Women’s Ashes series at Lord’s with a 6-4 point advantage, despite England posting back-to-back wins to keep the series alive. 

And no longer alive: any Aussie singles hopes at Wimbledon… Chris O’Connell was the last player standing from Oz, but he went down to US player Chris Eubanks in the third round. The tournament is heading towards the pointy end, and one to watch is unseeded 16yo Mirra Andreeva, who beat 22nd seed Anastasia Potapova in straight sets on Sunday.
