Australia versus afghanistan

Australia will host Afghanistan in their final Super 12 group match at Adelaide Oval on Friday night in a last-ditch bid to keep their T20 World Cup campaign alive. Only a win against the Afghans will be good enough for Australia to reach the semi-finals with the green and gold also needing other results to go their way. If Australia can navigate their way past Afghanistan, they will need either England to lose to Sri Lanka or an Ireland win over New Zealand to qualify for the last four. The hosts could still qualify it if England defeat Sri Lanka, but that will require a huge win against Afghanistan to make up the net run-rate difference.

Photograph: Corporal Raymond Vance Read more The full reasons in the Roberts-Smith case are expected to be published on Monday. The government has not commented on the case itself, saying it is not a party to the civil proceedings but has restated its commitment to acting on the Brereton report. The four-year-long inquiry by Maj Gen Paul Brereton Brereton’s report said Australia need not wait for a court to establish criminal liability before making compensation payments. He argued that if there was credible information of an unlawful killing it was “simply the morally right thing to do” to pay compensation swiftly. He also said such steps would help restore “Australia’s standing”. Guardian Australia understands the government is working through options on the issue of compensation but has yet to made a decision. Read more The defence minister, Richard Marles, emphasised his personal commitment to action in a letter to the Australian Centre for International Justice, a not-for-profit legal centre that aims to combat impunity. Marles told the group that since taking office, he had “made it a priority to engage with Defence on the implementation of all of the recommendations arising from t...

Australia has beaten Afghanistan, just, but needs England to lose to Sri Lanka at the SCG on Saturday if they are to progress to the semi final of the T20 World Cup. The four-run victory moves the defending champions into second place in Group One behind New Zealand, who thrashed Ireland by 35 runs to confirm their spot in the semi's earlier in the day. However, by failing to beat Afghanistan by more than 63 runs, Australia was unable to improve its net run rate enough to surpass England's, meaning qualification for the semi finals is now in the hands of their Ashes rivals. An unbeaten 54 runs from player of the match Glenn Maxwell and 45 from Mitch Marsh helped Australia reach 8-168 in its 20 overs on a perfect night in front of 18,672 at Adelaide Oval. Australia probably should have scored more, but were limited by some decent death bowling by Afghanistan who recovered well to take three wickets in the final four overs. Setting Afghanistan an unlikely 169 to win their first game of the Super 12 phase, Australia at times struggled to make inroads, as Gulbadin Naib in particular cut loose on a decent batting track. A nine-ball spell in which Australia took 4-4 looked like it might precipitate an easy victory and keep the pressure on England, but that was to ignore the influence of Rashid Khan, whose 23-ball 48 got Afghanistan to within four to leave Australia's hopes of defending the T20 World Cup relying on Sri Lanka beating England. Australia made three changes from the ...

Since a federal judge found on June 1 that it was legitimate to describe Ben Roberts-Smith, one of the country’s most decorated soldiers, as a “war criminal,” more information has emerged pointing to a protracted official cover-up of illegal killings and other violations of international law by Australian troops in Afghanistan. Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia’s most decorated living war veteran, arrives at the Federal Court in Sydney, on June 9, 2021. [Photo: Rick Rycroft/WSWS] Roberts-Smith, a recipient of the Victoria Cross, Australia’s highest military honor, sued the Sydney Morning Herald, the Age and the Canberra Times for defamation, over stories they had published in 2018 imputing that he was a war criminal. The publications responded with a truth defence, which was upheld by the judge on a number of points, including four of six murders Roberts-Smith allegedly committed in Afghanistan. Over the weekend, the Saturday Paper reported the comments of an anonymous Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) soldier who had served alongside Roberts-Smith. In response to claims that military command was completely ignorant of the allegations against Roberts-Smith, the soldier “believes some more senior military figures were aware of the allegations circulating against the man who became a celebrity soldier, but they did not act. ‘People above knew,’ he alleges. ‘And no one did anything.’” The court judgment came after a protracted civil case, which included SAS soldiers and Afghan ci...
