INTERESTING that so much of the sporting news was taken up reporting on injuries. Watching the game where Steve Smith injured his elbow, you could see he had a bit of trouble but it should never have been a thing that would stop him batting, yet it’s the main sporting story.

Then there was Jannik Sinner’s problem with the heat in the Australian Open. It was suggested this could help Alex de Minaur in their match but Sinner had no problems.
