It was another massive week of sport across Australia as test cricket, the Big Bash League and boxing dominated headlines.
Following on from their T20 International series loss against India, the Australian cricket team bounced back to form with a brilliant bowling performance to defeat India within three days in the first test at Adelaide.
With West Australian all-rounder Cameron Green presented his baggy green on debut, the match was an extremely tight until day three when the Australian bowlers tore through the Indian side, bowling them out for 36.
Australia went on to win the match by eight wickets, but most importantly saw under fire batsman Joe Burns fight hard to record an unbeaten half-century in the second innings.
Boxing dominated headlines early in the week leading into a massive card of fighting on Wednesday.
Following a terrific battle between Mark Hunt and Paul Gallen as the under card fight, which went the way of an extremely tough Gallen on points, the headline bout between Tim Tszyu and kiwi Bowyn Morgan was over in under two minutes as Tszyu knocked out his opponent with a couple of deadly strikes.
