Australia sweep T20 series against West Indies
July 28 (Reuters) - Australia completed a 5-0 sweep of the West Indies in their Twenty20 international series with Ben Dwarshuis's bowling paving the way for a three-wicket victory in Basseterre, Saint Kitts on Monday. Mitchell Owen top-scored for Australia with 37 off 17 balls, while Cameron Green (32), Tim David (30) and Aaron Hardie (28 nout out) all made valuable contributions as the visitors reached their target of 171 with 18 balls to spare. The win sealed the first T20 series sweep by an Australian men's team in the West Indies. "I didn't expect 5-0 at the start of the series," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said. "But we played some great cricket. It was something we spoke about after the fourth game. "We knew no Australian team had completed a clean sweep. We've had guys come in and played different roles for us. "We spoke pre-tour about having flexibility and fluidity as a group. The way T20 is going teams just keep going now and it's exciting and hopefully we can continue our power hitting." West Indies fans must have feared the worst when Australia won a fifth straight toss and bowled the hosts out for 170, a total they reached thanks in large part to Shimron Hetmyer's knock of 52 off 31 balls. Dwarshuis picked up Hetmyer's wicket as well as those of openers Brandon King (11) and Shai Hope (9). "It was a little bit of a slower wicket so we tried to hit the wicket hard and use the slower balls as well," said Dwarshuis, who was named player of the match. "It was a definitely a challenge here with two batting line-ups that were ultra aggressive and some high scores. It was amazing to be part of this squad and this series victory." Australia return home for a limited-overs series against South Africa, while the West Indies play Pakistan in three T20Is and three one-day internationals.

Footy legend can't contain his anger after being branded a sexist by his co-host on live TV
Footy legend Nick Riewoldt demanded an apology on live TV after he was labelled a sexist by veteran AFL journalist Caroline Wilson on Monday night. The fiery exchange unfolded on Channel Seven 's The Agenda Setters as both panel members were discussing the dire state of North Melbourne. Alastair Clarkson's men were trounced by 101 points at Marvel Stadium on July 26 by Geelong, with Jeremy Cameron booting 11 goals. Bailey Smith was a standout in the midfield for the Cats, chalking up 43 disposals. Tellingly, the thrashing was the third time this season the Kangaroos have conceded a score of 150 or more - and the third time in five games they have allowed at least 130 points. Riewoldt was discussing where it's gone wrong for North when he labelled club president Sonja Hood 'sycophantic' over her praise when the team signed Clarkson as head coach in 2023. The fiery exchange unfolded on Channel Seven's The Agenda Setters when both panel hosts were discussing the dire state of North Melbourne That offended Wilson, who loudly questioned whether Riewoldt would have formed a similar view if Hood was a man. 'That is bordering on sexism, if a male president had lauded getting a premiership coach... you wouldn't call it sycophantic. I bet you wouldn't,' she said. The St Kilda great was seething at the accusation from Wilson. 'What are you talking about? I resent the fact you think that's a sexist comment, that is a ridiculous thing to say,' he said. 'How is someone being sycophantic got anything to do with their gender? That's ridiculous and you should apologise.' It is unknown if the footy identities resolved the tension - or if Wilson apologised - as an ad break broke up the clash. Meanwhile, two-time Kangaroos premiership player David King is concerned for the club's future with Clarkson at the helm. 'You have to be worried, don't you?' King said on SEN. 'Nothing has changed defensively, and when nothing (has) changed what are you building? 'Clarko for five years was perfect, but I thought there would be a more significant improvement in the third year (2025). 'In my own heart of hearts, this club desperately needs stability. It's been through turmoil. It's spat out coach after coach for six or seven years.

Australia end West Indies tour unbeaten after completing T20 series clean sweep
Australia completed a flawless tour of the Caribbean with a three-wicket victory over West Indies in the fifth T20 to seal a series sweep in St Kitts. For the fifth time in as many matches, Australia won the toss and elected to bowl first, then restricted the West Indies to 170 and their lowest total in the series. The white-ball sweep comes after Australia also won all three Tests on the tour though they were given a scare as West Indies found their way through the deep middle-order that has largely proven the difference across the five T20s. Cameron Green, Tim David and Mitch Owen contributed valuable runs in the chase but it was left to Aaron Hardie (28 not out) to guide Australia to 173-7 with 18 balls remaining. Green (32 off 18) continued to build on his rich vein of form with a fourth significant innings before attempting to hit spinner Akeal Hosein over the rope but picking out Matthew Forde at long-off. The young allrounder juggled the catch to give the home side a sniff before Hardie and Ben Dwarshuis (9) took control. Sean Abbott later helped complete the rout. David returned to the side and picked up where he left off after hammering a record-breaking 102 not out in the third match of the series. The powerful middle-order hitter blasted four sixes as he raced to 30 from 11 balls before finding Shimron Hetmyer on the leg side boundary off the bowling of Alzarri Joseph. Owen quickly took the mantle from David as he put together a third eye-catching knock in his debut series to press his claims for a longer-term place in the side. The 23-year-old compiled a controlled 37 while taking few risks before reaching for a wide delivery from Hosein and edging to Joseph at short third man. Mitch Marsh earlier called correctly as Australia won an eighth of eight tosses across two formats on the tour and again elected for the tourists to chase. A string of wickets early and late in the West Indies' innings meant the hosts were unable to post a big score on the small ground at Warner Park, Basseterre, before they were all out for 170 in the last over. Hetmyer (52 off 31) helped lift West Indies to a more competitive total before falling to a low running catch by Abbott at long-off. Sherfane Rutherford (35 off 17) also showed signs of good touch and smashed Abbott for a huge six before being bowled by Glenn Maxwell as he attempted to cut. Left-arm quick Ben Dwarshuis (3-41) returned to the side and bowled Shai Hope after being struck for successive boundaries, then had Brandon King (11) caught at mid-on. Adam Zampa (1-20 off three) celebrated his 100th T20I by bowling Joseph in the 19th over, as the West Indies again failed to make the most of the closing overs and lost their last four wickets for 15 runs.
