Three innings into his Test career and those concerns appear very misplaced. If there was any doubt about what sort of place Potchefstroom is, the name of the cricket ground provides the answer: Senwes Park.

Malcolm Conn, writing in Australia's Daily Telegraph says the Cape Town debacle shows that batsmen brought up on a glut of short-form cricket and easy Twenty20 money are unwilling or unable to deal with the moving ball. Need some perspective after a jaw-unhinging day at Newlands? Barely twelve hours after one of the most widely-read columnists on the game, one of the sport's most distinctive commentators, had taken his own life , Australia's cricketers were in the nets.

Ian Reid is not your typical Australian cricket fan. For one thing, he's not Australian. Australia's military heritage and its servicemen and women, and veterans, will be recognised by the Queen. Colours will be presented by the monarch to the Royal Military College, Duntroon, which trains the country's officers, on 22 October and three days later a wreath will be laid at the Australian war memorial.

The efforts of the emergency services who dealt with the Brisbane floods earlier this year and the families they helped will also be recognised. The couple will meet firefighters, paramedics, police and local communities at a reception. During the Melbourne away-day the Queen will open the Royal Children's hospital before taking a short tram ride through the city to a reception hosted by the governor of Victoria, Alex Chernov.

A wicket off his first ball in Test cricket and a five-for on debut.. A clearing up of the poor management in Australian cricket has given the players the confidence that they will be rewarded for playing for their team, Patrick Smith says in the Australian. Unimpressed by the predictability of limited-overs cricket, Greg Baum says, in the Age , it was refreshing to see Nathan Lyon and Trent Copeland stick to the basics of Test cricket in Galle.

Peter Roebuck, in the Sydney Morning Herald , says Ricky Ponting is looking fit, light and alert, but his dismissals in Galle suggest his mind is the one thing letting him down.

The Daily Telegraph's Tom Sangster tells the story of how four balls in a third-grade game in transformed Trent Copeland from a wicketkeeper-batsman to a seamer. Australia's win in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle has shown that while they have not turned into a team of world beaters, they continue to play organised cricket, writes Peter Roebuck in the Herald on Sunday. No individual in the game's history has had such an impact on his team's fortunes as Muttiah Muralitharan, Dileep Premachandran says in the National.

Australia deserved considerable credit for their tireless efforts to shift a Sri Lankan batting order intent on survival. Matches
