Kia has finally announced what its new Toyota Hilux rival will be called after using some of Australia's most loved sporting icons in a viral commercial to promote the vehicle.

In Sydney, all-time greats of the game such as Steve Waugh, Richie Benaud, and Belinda Clark have been honoured, and David Warner's name has also been included.

Mitchell Johnson and David Warner's feud continues to fester, with the actor batter making a surprising move after being the object of an extraordinary attack by his former coworker. The change comes as Australian captain Pat Cummins (right) finally spoke out against the sport's bitter stoush involving two of the sport's top players.

After the Aussies' surprising six-wicket victory over the tournament's hosts in Ahmedabad, England Test captain Stokes brushed aside his rivalry with colleague Pat Cummins to wish the Aussies well. 'It took me a long time to type this with gritted teeth,' he wrote on X, the platform that was once known as Twitter.'

The outspoken English broadcaster and cricket fanatic (pictured inset) couldn't find a good word to say about the Aussies during the Ashes, but he still felt proud to congratulate them on defeating India with a funny social media post. After winning in Ahmedabad, Aussie superstar David Warner (pictured right, and left with colleagues Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith) had a good laugh at English supporters.

Cummins' team has been on a roll since losing to tournament hosts India and their opponents on Thursday and reaching their remaining seven group-stage matches to move to yet another semi-final. South Africa may have prevailed in Lucknow and in an ODI series between the two teams in September, but the Proteas have much more experience in the knockouts of a major tournament.

JAMES SHARPE: a 700-word article chronicled the events of the 24th annual Birmingham Cattle Show, a showcase of the finest 'fat cattle, sheep, pigs, roots, corn, and implements' Another study on the same network was much less prominent. A football match between England and Scotch Elevens was played at Hamilton Crescent, Glasgow, on Saturday afternoon.' It was all about 124 words, and that included the teams. How different football has been these days.

Channel Seven has made a change in Australia's women's sport, as the Matildas prepare to face France in the quarter finals of the World Cup. The country is clearly on the Matildas bandwagon, with ratings soaring as they tune in to watch the team by the millions.

When captain Ben Stokes dropped a one-handed catch while still celebrating, England was denied a crucial Ashes wicket. Stokes gave Australian batter Steve Smith a huge reprieve in another moment that split the opinion of cricket fans during a dramatic series, as the tourists went on 384 for a 3-1 win. However, a debate over whether Stokes was in possession of the ball enough to finish the catch before he tossed it onto the turf.

OLIVER HOLT - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER AT THE OVAL: They walked across the rooftops of Corinthian Roof Terraces at the Vauxhall End of a turbulent Ashes series unfolded before them at The Oval, despite the clink of cutlery and cricket's common tune. All of London stretches out from up there, the tower blocks of the City to the left, Archbishop Tenison's School, where the letters on the wall are a little weathered, to the right, and, far beyond the Pavilion End, the transmitter tower at Crystal Palace. It could be the best view of English cricket, but there is certainly competition from the vista of Lord's and the back of Lumley Castle at Durham's Riverside Ground. To some, the grand sweep of a heaving Western Terrace in Headingley may be appealing.

Pat Cummins has struck back at the critics who questioned his decision to abandon his team halfway through the series in India in February to be with his terminally ill mother, who claims he had no reason. After Australia's second Test loss in Delhi, the Australian captain returned home to be with his critically ill mother Maria, who by then had begun palliative care. Maria died in Sydney in March. She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, and the condition resurfaced early last year.

Stuart Dew (pictured right) has clearly moved forward after being brutally dismissed by the Gold Coast Suns after five and a half seasons as their AFL head coach. Dew, 43, is a member of the Australian cricket team in England. With a sequence of drills, he was seen putting wicketkeeper Alex Carey through his paces ahead of his fifth Ashes Test.

Ben Stokes, according to Ricky Ponting, should be investigated after England failed to recover the Ashes and said Pat Cummins has done a "terrible job" as Australia retained the urn. Cummins could win in England for the first time since Steve Waugh in 2001 to end a string of victories in England, if the tourists win at The Oval in the final Test, which starts on Thursday. After his side escaped Old Trafford with a critical draw, the Aussie skipper said there would be no celebration, but rain denied England the opportunity to square the series.

Australia must rebound from the pain of Headingley's 2014 ashes to win their first Ashes triumph on English soil in 22 years. With Australia still up 2-1 but the hosts back in the fight, England's three-wicket victory in Leeds on Sunday has brought the series right back to the balance. Nine days off for Australia's players to recover out of Headingley, with some of them deciding to break camp and enjoy a family holiday.

Christopher Coe, a former Sydney private schoolboy and international financier, died in London at the age of 39, according to reports, after falling to his death from a building. Christopher is the eldest son of Australian businessman David Coe, who died suddenly of a heart attack on a ski trip in Colorado ten years ago at the age of 58. Chris Coe, like his charismatic father, whose Sydney funeral in 2013 was attended by film and rock stars as well as Australia's economic, sporting, and political elite, was popular and well-liked.

On the final day, LAWRENCE BOOTH AT LORD'S: England came so close to recreating their Ashes heroics of Headingley four years, led by Ben Stokes' ferocious 155 runs off 214 runs, but fell tragically short. On his way to 110 runs that put the Aussies on their way on day one, Steve Smith snared his Edgbaston cobwebs to play with the bat, while the tourists punished England with the ball in hand. Mail Sport's Lawrence Booth discusses how each player did well at Lord's.

Allan Border has confirmed he has Parkinson's disease, with the cricket legend going public for the first time since his illness seven years ago. Border, 67, was given the bombshell news by a neurosurgeon in 2016 but decided to notify only his wife, Jane, their four children, and close family.

On Thursday, Steve Smith wrote another chapter in Ashes history, becoming the first Ashes player since Sir Donald Bradman to score 12 centuries in the series. On Day Two of the second Test, the former Australia captain returned to 85 degrees at Lord's, raising his 32nd century in his 99th Test. Smith's century puts him in a class with England great John Hobbs on the list of Ashes centurions, seven behind Bradman's all-time record of 19.

When Australia toured England in 2001, they won the first Test at Edgbaston by an innings and 118 runs and swagger of hard men relishing the prospect of a match they were certain to win.
