A star is born in Perth. Twenty-one year old Mahli Beardman made his one-day international debut for Australia and absolutely dismantled England's batting lineup with record-breaking figures that had the cricket world stopping in its tracks. When asked how he celebrated, Beardman said he just wanted to get to the beach — which tells you everything about this kid's composure. The Ashes just got a lot more interesting.
Staying in the world of rising talent, F1 Academy champion Alisha Palmowski is moving up the ladder in a major way. Red Bull Racing and F1 Academy have confirmed she'll receive a fully-funded seat with Rodin Motorsport in the Formula Regional European Championship for the two thousand twenty seven season. From champion to the next rung of the single-seater ladder — Palmowski's trajectory is sharp and it's fast.
And in college football, Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning confirmed Monday night that quarterback Dante Moore is done for the rest of the two thousand twenty six season. Lanning made clear this wasn't Moore's choice — the kid would play tomorrow if he could — but the medical reality has made that decision for him. A tough blow for a program with serious ambitions.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
