A young Australian man who was sexually assaulted at a staff party by a Cricket Australia executive has sent a note to Christmas party sex attack victims. Reuben Williams was a young employee at a school drinks reception when Cricket Australia's communications manager Timothy Whittaker sexually kissed him after a work drinks reception. Whittaker oversaw some of Cricket Australia's biggest scandals, including the 2019 ball tampering case, which cost Steve Smith and David Warner's captain and vice captain roles. Whittaker's resentment of'sandpapergate' and Smith's successor Tim Paine's sexting case led him into the alcohol-fuelled attacks when convicted. Mr Williams has revived his life and says, "So this holiday party season...' If you find someone who appears to be vulnerable, make sure they are secure. If you see someone being scary, try their motives.'

LOS bOOTH OLD TRAFFORD: Pat Cummins has stated consistently that his team came here to win. A weather-assisted heist could host muted festivities. If, on the other hand, England gets the time they need to set up the mother of all deciders next week, and Test cricket - for a few days at least - will never have felt more alive. A team has only won a Test series from 2-0 down once before, and that was 1936-37.

On day two of the fourth Ashes Test at Old Trafford, Australia captain Pat Cummins has a day to forget as Zak Crawley smashed England into the ascendancy

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 20, 2023
TRAFFORD BOOTH - AT OLD TRAFFORD — Pat Cummins lost his wicket to the first ball of this second Ashes Test on the second morning, and it was all downhill from there. Both cricketers have bad days. Cummins doesn't have many, and even his bad ones are usually half-decent. This, however, was something else: a stench inside a shocker wrapped in a sickener. He mustn't have seen anything like it. Many things are true about Australian teams, but total disintegration is not one of them. Cummins presided in Manchester on Thursday over his country's most shambolic session in an Ashes Test since being bowled out for 60 on the first morning at Trent Bridge eight years ago.

Paine, the wicketkeeper during the Australian Sandpapergate scandal in South Africa, was stripped of the captaincy he had inherited from sacked Steve Smith when explicit messages sent to a Cricket Tasmania employee in 2017 became public. However, Ben Stokes has brought the boot to his staff.

Ben Stokes' innings was incredibly clever, and he's up there with Sir Vivian Richards in a match

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 2, 2023
On Sunday, Ben Stokes told his colleagues in the dressing room what playing for his England team is all about - and there is no better cricketer in that situation. If you ask me who I would like to be at the top of the crease from the previous 30 years, it would be Stokes. He's been doing it so many times before, whether it's the World Cup final, World Twenty20 final, or Headingley, four years ago, and it was amazing on Sunday that he barely added another match-winning masterclass to his portfolio. That was a truly amazing innings. When he sees a run chase, he has his sixth sense of being safe, when to protect, and when to strike the bowlers.

Cummins is one of the top candidates to replace him at the helm of the game's shortest format, with the Victorian now calling time on his T20 service.

In the second Test, Australian cricket legend Allan Border says Pat Cummins is facing the first true test of his captaincy in India, despite the skipper 'grossly underbowled himself'.
