Inglis makes way as Aussie star returns for second Test
Steve Smith will complete a remarkable return to Test cricket, just 20 days after suffering a nasty compound dislocation of his finger. The star batter will bat at No.4 in Australia's second Test against the West Indies, starting at Friday midnight AEST, in Grenada. Australia captain Pat Cummins confirmed Smith would replace Josh Inglis, who played two poor shots to get out in the first Test win last week. "He's ready to go, the finger held up well," Cummins told reporters in Grenada on Wednesday. "He was really happy, particularly batting. "Fielding we still potentially need to manage it a little bit, so he might not be in the slips too often. "Maybe for spin he'll be OK, but (for the) quicks he might need to wait another week." Smith couldn't take any further part in the World Test Championship final at Lord's after being forced to hospital following a nasty incident in the field on day three. But Smith avoided surgery - instead wearing a splint on his right little finger while it heals - allowing him to play sooner than initially thought. The 36-year-old spent time at his second home in New York after the WTC defeat in London, before flying to join his teammates in the Caribbean. Australia have never played a Test at St George's, and only once previously visited for an ODI back in 2008. Australia will retain the Frank Worrell Trophy, which they have held since 1995, if they back up their 159-run win in the first Test. Star quick Shamar Joseph caused Australia dramas in Bridgetown by taking nine wickets, backing up his match-winning heroics from the Gabba in January 2024. The hosts will be desperate to celebrate veteran opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who becomes the 10th West Indian to play 100 Tests. "He's a modern-day legend and someone I look up to – I've played with him from under-11s," West Indies captain Roston Chase said. "He stated before starting his career that he wanted to play 100 Tests so that's an amazing achievement that someone can set a goal from so early and achieve it after so many years." Australia: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Cameron Green, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Beau Webster, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood.

Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir called SCG surface unsafe last week but is happy to play Swans there on Sunday
Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir says a training session on the SCG before his team takes on the Swans on Sunday will be crucial for players to work out what boots to wear on the dodgy surface. But Longmuir stayed away from his previous claim that it was 'unsafe', instead declaring his players were used to playing on slippery surfaces after enduring issues with their home ground at Optus Stadium in 2025. The SCG surface has been in the spotlight since last Friday night when players form both the Swans and Western Bulldogs slipped badly, particularly at one end. GWS star Toby Greene said it was 'actually embarrassing' how bad it was having been forced to wear metal studs in round 8. It moved the AFL to send its own turf expert to inspect the surface and engage in conversations with the Dockers, and on Thursday, Longmuir said he was happy to play there. 'Like I've said all along, if the AFL tick it off, we'll play anywhere,' he said. Longmuir said his players had been spoken to about what boots to wear, but a run on the ground on Saturday would be important in informing their decisions. 'Yeah, it will be important, but we've had a fair bit of practise playing on slippery surfaces,' he said. 'Optus (Stadium) last year wasn't great, it was a bit slippery, so if that's all it is, we'll be able to handle it. 'We'll get a good look at our captain's run and our players will be well prepared with their boots and get to work. 'The preparation stuff we speak to the players about and once we get later in the week, we are just talking about our footy. 'I said this post game, both teams will have to play on the surface, so we'll embrace it and just get to work.' Longmuir said he had no issues injecting captain Alex Pearce into the game despite managing a knee issue, having watched as Western Bulldog Bailey Williams nearly did himself damage last weekend. The Fremantle coach also dismissed calls for Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe to retire after he suffered a calf injury that could sideline him for another month or more. Fyfe, 33, has played just four games in 2025 due to a myriad injuries, but Longmuir wouldn't put a line through his stellar career. 'They're just opinions,' Longmuir said. 'We'll deal in facts.'
