He is currently the world record holder in100 meters. He has recently started a "second career" inAustralia, playing soccer on an A league team for an indefinite trial. The Sprinter scored his first goals inprofessional football Friday after starting up front in a pre-season game forAustralia's Central Coast Mariners.

International Cricket is heating up these days as it tends todo this time of year. The West Indies isvisiting India for a two Test match series. Having dropped the first Test, they did well the first day of the secondtest at Hyderabad, convincing everyone before tea was taken that they had learned their lessons and they are adifferent team this week. England is touring Sri Lanka, but so far have seennot much action, besides their touring truck being stuck in the mud... Meanwhile, Pakistan and Australia are meeting for a two Testseries in the middles east, with games in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. In the first Test, Pakistan let defeat besnatched from the jaws of victory, or rather, Australia greatly rallied to achievea draw in the match. Their 139.5 overswas the most an Australian side have faced in the fourth innings of a Test in47 years. It was underpinned by one ofthe most heroic innings in Australian Test history, the 141 made by UsmanKhawaja. His eight hour, 44 minuteoccupation of the crease was the second longest by anyone in the fourth inningsof a Test, after Michael Atherton’s marathon in Johannesburg in 1995.
