OPINION: Last-gasp ODI win over England gives Australia something to believe in

: another global tournament, another game at Edgbaston, another instance of England knocking out Australia.

There had been a similar implosion the previous week in a Twenty20 match: needing 39 in 38 balls with nine wickets in hand, Australia's batsmen had contrived to fall short. Once they could manipulate the strike, they used the short boundary on one side of the ground to great effect, making sure that either the left-handed Carey or the right-handed Maxwell could target it as his leg-side field.

There was still the chance of a fumble when both were dismissed within 10 runs of the win, but Starc made the last over of the match as dramatic as he had made the first, swinging Adil Rashid for six down the ground before sweeping four.Australia is still a team with a makeshift feel. So much is geared around Steve Smith, who has never dominated one-dayers as he does Tests.

The first-choice top four now has a conservative build: the new-edition David Warner, Aaron Finch, Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, none of whom are whirlwind players in the 50-over format.

Unemployment rate falls as 111,000 jobs added in August, despite Melbourne lockdownAustralia's unemployment rate posts a surprise fall to 6.8 per cent, as 111,000 jobs were created last month despite a lockdown in the nation's second most populous state. No explanation as to if these are 'new jobs' or just people going off jobkeeper/seeker and back to their old jobs considering that before Covid-19 a good month for new jobs was 30-40,000 mostly part time and casual positions. Can't help feeling there is some dodgy accounting here Hmm, the figures do not tell the whole story. The ABS only counts people actively looking for work and in the current job situation there are 100s of thousands not bothering. I’m calling major BS. This cannot be true. Someone at abc really needs to pull this apart & do a full analysis/ breakdown. Fake news. I want names of companies, sources, salary figures. You realise recruiters create fake job profiles in job search yeah? 🤨🤨🤨
