    Calls for cricket law change after $420,000 star forced to 'retire' under rarely-seen rule in BBL

    Former Australia batsman Brad Hodge has suggested a name change to cricket's retirement law to lessen the stigma attached to slow batters being forced off the field in T20s. Fans have been debating whether it should be legal to forcibly 'retire out' a batter after it happened to Mohammad Rizwan of the Melbourne Renegades on Monday night.

    Rizwan had reached 26 off 23 balls in the Renegades' batting innings against the Sydney Thunder in the BBL, but the coaching staff felt he wasn't scoring quickly enough. Captain Will Sutherland signalled from the bench for Rizwan to leave the field, with Sutherland walking on to replace him in the hope of scoring more freely.

    Disaster strikes Will Sutherland after retiring Mohammad Rizwan in BBL loss to Thunder

    The Melbourne Renegades’ finals hopes are hanging by a thread after a dramatic loss to Big Bash battlers Sydney Thunder at Engie Stadium on Monday night.

    A late Chris Green assault powered the Thunder to a thrilling four-wicket upset win, the No.8 coming in at 6-95 after his side lost 3-15 in eight balls in pursuit of a rain-adjusted target of 140.

    With all the pressure on his shoulders, Green bludgeoned three sixes in as many balls from Gurinder Sandhu (4-42), the Renegades’ best bowler to that point.

    It swung the game dramatically back in favour of the Thunder, who would have been consigned to the wooden spoon with a loss to the Renegades.

    Green, Maddinson power Thunder to victory after Renegades retire Rizwan out

    Sydney Thunder 140 for 6 (Green 34*, Billings 33, Maddinson 30*, Sandhu 4-42) beat Melbourne Renegades 170 for 8 (Hassan 46, Brown 35, Agar 2-23) by four wickets (DLS)

    Mohammad Rizwan's tough BBL debut season continued after being retired out in his 300th T20 match, having batted sluggishly in Melbourne Renegades' costly loss to Sydney Thunder.

    The tactical gamble – a decision made by the coaching staff – did not really have the desired effect. Renegades only made a further 16 runs after Rizwan – who had hit 26 off 23 balls – walked off the field at the end of the 18th over.

    Averaging 20.14 and striking at exactly 100 in his seven previous innings this season, Rizwan again struggled for fluency on a seaming Engie Stadium surface. He is only the third batter in BBL history to be retired out without an injury, following on the heels of Nic Maddinson in Thunder's recent match against Hobart Hurricanes in a tactic that is starting to become more prevalent in T20 cricket.

    League legend calls time on Big Bash career for England move

    BBL's second-highest wicket taker will end his time in the league at the end of the season

    Big Bash icon Andrew Tye is set to bid adieu to the league after announcing the ongoing season will be his last in the competition.

    The 39-year-old quick will instead ply his trade as a local player in England's T20 Blast after signing a two-year deal with Yorkshire.

    Tye, who switched allegiance to the Melbourne Renegades ahead of BBL|15 after 10 years with the Perth Scorchers, is second among the all-time leading wicket takers in the BBL, only behind Sean Abbott.

    But playing opportunities have been scarce for the veteran since his move east – which itself came as the Scorchers turned an eye to the future in the pace-bowling department – with only two games in the red so far this season, making the Yorkshire offer hard to decline.

    Yorkshire sign veteran bowler Tye for T20 Blast

    Only Sean Abbott has taken more wickets in the Big Bash than Andrew Tye

    Yorkshire have signed Australian fast bowler Andrew Tye on a two-year deal for the T20 Blast.

    The 39-year-old made 32 T20 appearances for Australia and is the second-highest wicket-taker in the Big Bash.

    He has taken 86 wickets in the Blast in spells with Gloucestershire, Durham and Northants.

    "It's a real privilege to be signing for Yorkshire. There is a proud tradition of Australian cricketers at Yorkshire and I'm excited to add to this and get amongst it with the guy," he told the club website., external

    Australian pacer Andrew Tye signs two-year Vitality Blast deal with Yorkshire

    Australian fast bowler Andrew Tye has signed a two-year Vitality Blast contract, bringing experience and firepower to the Yorkshire bowling unit. He is known for his lethal knuckleball, and has established himself as one of the world’s most damaging T20 bowlers, particularly at the death.

    The right-arm pacer has taken 47 wickets in 32 T20Is and claimed 86 wickets across six previous Vitality Blast seasons. He currently ranks second on the all-time leading wicket-takers list in the Big Bash League (BBL).

    “It’s a real privilege to be signing for Yorkshire. There is a proud tradition of Australian cricketers at Yorkshire and I’m excited to add to this and get amongst it with the guys. I know I can add some real depth of experience to the side. The Blast is a great tournament to be involved in, and I know how important it is to a side like Yorkshire to be in the mix to win it,” said Tye as quoted by Yorkshire.

    Trump calls for a 10% cap on credit card rates in his latest appeal to affordability concerns

    President Donald Trump on Friday called for a one-year, 10% cap on credit card interest rates, saying the American public is being “ripped off” in a Truth Social post.

    Trump called for the cap to come into effect on January 20, the one-year anniversary of his return to the White House. But he did not specify how a cap might happen, including whether he was calling for voluntary participation from credit card companies or looking for government mechanisms to enforce his proposal.

    In his post, Trump cited “AFFORDABILITY!” as a rationale for the temporary cap, which he also proposed on the campaign trail in September 2024.

    Trump announces one-year 10% cap on credit card interest rates

    Critics express doubt president can implement such a move without approval from Congress

    Donald Trump announced a one-year cap that would limit credit card interest rates to 10% this week, in a move that has prompted mixed reaction from lawmakers and beyond.

    The president’s social media post on Friday night said the restriction would take effect on 20 January, but he did not provide specifics on how the government would implement it or ensure that companies comply.

    “Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be ‘ripped off’ by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%, and even more, which festered unimpeded during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

    Palestinian author calls for apology as dozens quit Adelaide Writers' Week

    A Palestinian Australian author has been axed from Adelaide Writers' Week after its board said her appearance would "not be culturally sensitive" in the wake of the Bondi terrorist attack. 

    Several authors, including Jane Caro, Hannah Kent and Peter Fitzsimons, have withdrawn from the festival citing concerns about freedom of speech. 

    Adelaide Writers' Week is scheduled to take place from February 28 to March 5.

    Palestinian Australian author Randa Abdel-Fattah has asked for an apology and "accountability" after she was axed from Adelaide Writers' Week, as dozens of authors cancel their appearances at the event.

    Star British author Zadie Smith has joined dozens of writers who have pulled out of this year’s Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Adelaide Festival board’s decision to remove Palestinian-Australian writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the line-up.

    Among the writers resigning from the event in protest are Pulitzer Prize-winning American Percival Everett, former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, and American journalist Masha Gessen.

    Locally, Michelle de Kretser, Helen Garner, Melissa Lucashenko, Hannah Kent, Evelyn Araluen, Jane Caro and Peter Greste have withdrawn, as have Peter FitzSimons and Kate Halfpenny, writers for this masthead. Richard Flanagan, while not on the line-up, has expressed support for those who have boycotted.

    As authors abandon Adelaide Writers’ Week after cancelling of Randa Abdel-Fattah, is free speech in tatters?

    Denis Muller does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

    University of Melbourne provides funding as a founding partner of The Conversation AU.

    The decision by the Adelaide Festival Board to exclude Palestinian Australian author and academic Randa Abdel-Fattah from Adelaide Writers’ Week on the grounds of “cultural sensitivity” is based on a dangerously broad and vague criterion for suppressing free speech.

    The board appears to have overruled Writer’s Week director Louise Adler to remove Abdel-Fattah from the program, arguing it would not be culturally sensitive to include her so soon after the Bondi terror attacks, due to her “past statements”.

    "We've been building an idea of football because we believe it's what we need to go ahead, not just to the Asian Cup, but as a nation, and also as an elite national team," he said.
