MATCH CENTRE: Australia vs India second Test scorecard, live updates The action gets back underway on Friday at 3pm, with Scott Boland returning in place of Hazlewood in Australia’s only change to the starting XI that was comfortably defeated by India in Perth. Hazlewood’s comments during the first Test sparked suggestions of a potential divide in the Australian dressing room, although teammates were quick to dismiss those claims. But according to Gavaskar, the fact Hazlewood is now unavailable due to injury should be raising eyebrows in the Australian media. Gavaskar said earlier in the week that the Australian fast bowler’s side strain injury was “strange” and a “mystery”, seemingly hinting his non-selection may instead be connected to his comments during the first Test. Travis Head said he was “surprised” to hear that insinuation from Gavaskar while Harris was far more direct, describing it as “rubbish” in an interview with the Indian Express . “Look, there are no, factions. That’s just all garbage,” Harris said. “I’ve even heard Mr Gavaskar coming out and saying there’s some faction. It’s all rubbish. That doesn’t happen in Australia. I know it happens in India. I’ve lived there. “There’s no politics and no, you don’t miss a game for saying what he (Hazlewood) said. “I’ve spoken to a couple of the boys here at and everyone’s smart. They just know our media and how they work. The Australian media have jumped on it, because we went so bad in Perth. But you’re allowed to be outplayed.” Harris went on to stress that he has “all the respect” for Gavaskar, calling him a “legend of the game”. “He is just throwing a little grenade over here and the media have just got hold of him and are having a feast,” added Harris. Hazlewood, who took five wickets in Australia’s 295-run loss at Perth, will remain with the group in Adelaide to prepare for the remainder of the series according to Cricket Australia. Boland, Hazlewood’s replacement, played the last of his 10 Tests in July 2023 against England at Headingley. MCSWEENEY VOWS TO ‘SHOW WHAT I CAN DO’ AFTER BAPTISM OF FIRE Elsewhere, Australian opener Nathan McSweeney has vowed to “show everyone what I can do” when the second Test against India begins on familiar territory in Adelaide on Friday. The 25-year-old was under the spotlight when he made his debut for his country in the first Test of the five-match series last month in Perth. McSweeney had only ever opened once before at first-class level and he scored 10 and nought as a rampant India won by 295 runs, with fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah his and Australia’s chief tormentor. “I got two pretty good balls over there in Perth, so I’m not trying to dwell on it too much and look forward to Adelaide,” McSweeney told Cricket Australia’s media arm. “I’ve played well out here, and it’s my home ground,” he said of the Adelaide Oval, which will host the day-night second Test. “So I’m looking forward to getting in front of a home crowd and most importantly, a wicket that I’ve played heaps of cricket on and that I know really well.” McSweeney got the nod to open the batting alongside Usman Khawaja in Perth on the back of an impressive start to the domestic season. Two of his six career Sheffield Shield centuries have come at the Adelaide Oval and he averages just over 43 in first-class games there, according to Cricket Australia. He admits however that the “pink ball is a little bit new to me”. “But we’ll be training here under lights a few times this week. So we’ve got some prep to do and I feel like I missed out last match, but my game’s still in a good spot.” He added: “If I can make sure I nail my prep and then spend some time in the middle, I can take great confidence from that. “The beauty of this series is you don’t have to wait too long to get another opportunity, so definitely take some learnings from Perth and hopefully execute what I want to do here in Adelaide. “It’s another opportunity for me to go out there and show everyone what I can do.” LIVE BLOG Follow all the latest updates from the second Test in our blog below!

QBs headline Packers-Dolphins Thanksgiving night matchupAmaravati: YSR Congress Party national General Secretary and Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy announced on Thursday that he will file a defamation case against Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and former chairman and managing director of Kakinada Seaports Limited (KSPL) KV Rao for making false and baseless allegations against him regarding Kakinada Port and SEZ transactions. He told reporters in New Delhi Naidu has been conspiring to tarnish his reputation by using KV Rao as a front to file fabricated cases. Vijayasai Reddy said that KV Rao is a broker and a close associate of Naidu, being used to spread lies about the YSRCP leader. He clarified that the claims of threats and illegal deals involving Kakinada Port are entirely false. He questioned why Rao, who spends most of his time abroad, chose to make these accusations after over four years of silence. Criticising the lookout notices issued against him, Vijayasai Reddy called them politically motivated and aimed at defaming him. He emphasised that the Chief Minister is using these tactics to mislead the public and cover up his own failures. He said the defamation suit, to be filed in the High Court next week, will expose the Chief Minister’s vendetta politics and Rao’s dubious role. Vijayasai Reddy further stated that Chandrababu Naidu’s focus on false narratives instead of governance is harming the state. He warned that Chandrababu Naidu will face legal and political consequences for his actions, and assured that the YSRCP will hold him accountable when it returns to power. KV Rao has filed a complaint with the Andhra Pradesh CID alleging the forcible acquisition of Kakinada Port shares worth Rs 2,500 crore for just Rs 494 crore during the YSRCP rule. The former chairman and MD of KSPL has accused former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy of orchestrating the illegal acquisition. The FIR also names Vijayasai Reddy, Rajya Sabha MP Y. V. Subba Reddy’s son Y. Vikrant Reddy, Sharath Chandra Reddy, a non-executive director of Aurobindo Pharma, and auditing firm PKF Sridhar & Santhanam. According to the complaint, 40 per cent of Kakinada Port, valued at Rs 2,500 crore, was forcibly acquired for just Rs 494 crore. Similarly, 49 per cent of Kakinada Special Economic Zone (SEZ), worth Rs 400 crore, was purchased for a mere Rs 12 crore, even after a competing offer from GMR Group for the full amount. The CID has issued lookout notices against Vijayasai Reddy, Vikrant Reddy and Sharat Chandra Reddy to stop them from leaving the country. In another development, Vikrant Reddy, who is named as A1 in the case, has filed a petition in the Andhra Pradesh High Court for anticipatory bail. He denied allegations made against him.

Amid widespread evidence that children are faking their age to create online profiles, social media companies will be told to enforce a minimum age limit of 13. Ofcom will recommend that social media companies use the technology to determine the age of those trying to create a profile under guidance to be published in April. Other options could involve showing a passport or using a government digital ID. • Toothless Online Safety Act leaves children still at risk About 24 per cent of children aged five to seven own a smartphone, according to research by the broadcasting watchdog, and a third of parents say their children of that age are using social media independently.Niagara County Sheriff's Office becomes first in the US to implement iris biometric identification technology

Somerset Community College is making history as the first institution in Kentucky to embrace innovative additive manufacturing commonly known as 3D printing technology. This pioneering initiative aims to speed up the use of this technology within the construction industry. The goal is to provide affordable and resilient housing solutions that could be essential for surviving and rebuilding after natural disasters. In recent years, Kentucky and the Appalachian regions have faced devastating losses from tornadoes, floods, and even hurricanes. Natural disasters that seem to now regularly exceed predictive weather models. In response to these challenges, SCC’s adoption of additive manufacturing, serves as a beacon of hope for many homeowners. “Over a decade ago, Eric Wooldridge, Director of KCTCS Additive Manufacturing Center at SCC, seeing what was about to happen with the technology, began the movement to bring additive manufacturing skills and education to Kentucky at large,” noted Andrew Clapper C3DP Project Manager, a member of the SCC team. “SCC was the first institution in the nation to develop a statewide additive manufacturing certificate program.” Wooldridge and his team are now aiming to expand their efforts in additive manufacturing on a grander scale. “Over the past decade, we’ve learned a great deal of valuable lessons,” Wooldridge remarked. “Because of our amazing partnerships with the Kentucky Science & Technology Corporation, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, our sister KCTCS colleges along with direct support from the National Science Foundation and the USDA Rural Development, we were able to become the pathfinders in how to democratize and rapidly scale 3D printing education across an entire state. Now it is time to do the same with concrete 3D printing.” Their vision is clear: to employ additive manufacturing technology to construct resilient homes capable of withstanding future floods and tornadoes. “Additive manufactured structures are exceptionally durable. The cost and timeline to build with this technology compared to conventional methods are markedly different,” Clapper explained. “I truly believe this technology embodies the future of home building.” Mark Mason, USDA RBCS Specialist, commented on the importance of this new technology for Kentucky. “Advanced Manufacturing has proven to change the dynamics in modern business production, touching nearly every industry. It is exciting to see the possibilities it can bring to the current challenges of housing shortages and affordability in rural areas, along with the opportunities to create new, high-paying jobs.” Wooldridge emphasized the importance of rebuilding with resilience in mind. “If we are going to rebuild, why not utilize technologies and materials that can endure floods and mitigate concerns often associated with mold and contamination? Why not move toward building structures that can make us feel safe and can last well over a century?” SCC’s foray into this innovative technology has garnered funding from the USDA and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). While experts at SCC acknowledge that fully integrating this technology into existing residential building codes and standards will take time, it is already being successfully implemented in other states and countries. “Our project aims to demonstrate how building code requirements can be met with additive manufacturing technology used for structures, ensuring they meet all permitting standards,” Wooldridge stated. “We also want to demonstrate to contractors and developers how this technology paired with cutting edge engineering applications can effectively to produce affordable, next generation homes that meet federal financing qualifications.” The Additive Manufacturing team at SCC is dedicated to staying at the forefront of the industry and is making strides to equip students with this cutting-edge technology across Kentucky. Pointing out that the power of additive manufacturing has less to do with the technology itself and much more to do with the mentality it takes to truly harness it. Located in the Southeastern Appalachian region of Kentucky, SCC is doing just that. “Students and workforce partners of SCC and eventually all of KCTCS, will have an advantage over the rest of the nation. Our team is extremely unique in its years of architectural, engineering, construction, and additive manufacturing expertise. And we are laser focused on using that expertise to develop engineering, design, and practical application trainings specifically for students and the workforce.” Clapper said. “Our students and trainees will be the first to take on this new knowledge at scale and use it in the most practical ways possible.” Wooldridge continued, “Additive manufacturing, whether big or small and using plastics, metals or concrete is the application of choice for people that want to get things done. A technology that vastly reduces the barriers for people to try new things and to push the envelope,” Wooldridge stated. “Our mission here at SCC, as it always has been, is to pave the way for people to replicate and scale what we are doing. To find ways to put this technology in every school and community and give them the power to innovate. Because that is not only what Kentucky needs, but also our nation and our world.” Through its commitment to advancing additive manufacturing technology, Somerset Community College is not just going to build homes; it is building a resilient future for families and communities in Kentucky and beyond.None
