Dowling Finds Mental Strength for Winning Edge 54 SPORT SATURDAY MAY 13 2017 AFL stands by recruiting age THE AFL has no plans to let teenagers finish school before focusing on football, yesterday ignoring a surge of support to lift the draft age to 19. As coaches, former greats and player managers urged the AFL to take the pressure of football off prospects as they complete Year 12, the league said that would only make the eventual transition more diffi- cult. “It was our view that the gap to AFL football from the levels below is already very signifi- cant,” the league said in a statement. “Delaying a player’s entry to an AFL club by a further 12 months would only increase that gap, making the adjust- ment for new players even slower and more difficult. “Also, our sport is obviously seeking access to the best available talent. If we delayed opportunities … (we run) the risk of having talented athletes choose other sport options.” Nadal schools Nick on clay NINE-TIME French Open champion Rafael Nadal hand- ed Australia’s Nick Kyrgios a clay court lesson at the Madrid Open yesterday.

  • Cummins Favourite for Award Zampa Wants Twin-Spin Attack to Turn T20
    50 SPORT SATURDAY JANUARY 18 2020 Cummins favourite Salt gives Heat curry for award SAM LANDSBERGER GOLDEN boy Patrick Cum- mins has been backed by team- mates to create history and become the first bowler to win in dominant victory back-to-back Allan Border medals. Cummins, 26, was this week named the ICC Test Player of the Year with his 59 wickets in 2019 a staggering 14 more than Nathan Lyon at No.2. Cummins (12 Tests) enjoyed the most prolific calendar year by an Australian fast bowler since Mitchell Johnson grab- bed 63 wickets from 13 Tests in 2009. A News Corp survey of some of Australia’s top cricket- ers revealed that Cummins was the popular choice to join Ricky Ponting (2004, 2006-07, 2009), Michael Clarke (2005, 2009, 2012-13), Shane Watson (2010-11), David Warner (2016-17) and Steve Smith (2015, 2018) as a multiple AB Medal recipient. Cummins would also be- come the youngest player to win the prestigious award twice. “Hard to go past Pat Cum- mins,” Australia’s white-ball captain Aaron Finch said. “Playing most games in all formats … I can’t see anyone pipping Patty Cummins. Now I’ve thought about it more, I think that he might win it by the length of the straight, and it’ll be a fight for who’s second and third.” Voting closed after this month’s Sydney Test, with the current ODI series in India – which includes Warner’s fifth century of the summer – counting towards next year’s medal.
