Stabbing at Sydney church a ‘terrorist act’: Australian police
Australian police are treating a stabbing at a Sydney church as a terrorist attack, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said on Tuesday.
Australia would expect a better show from their bowlers when they clash with the ever-improving Bangladesh in a Group A ICC Champions Trophy match at the Kennington Oval, here on Monday.
The Australian bowlers received a severe thrashing at the hands of New Zealand batsmen in their previous game before rain gods intervened and the match was abandoned.
It was the first one-day match for Mitchell Starc since February while Josh Hazlewood had also only one warm-up game under his belt in a similar period.

The rust was clearly visible and the fancied team would be hoping that the attack puts in a sharper performance on Monday.
Because of the lackluster performance, the Kiwis put on board 291 in 45 overs, though they were in a great position to score better.
The Australian batsmen too struggled when they were set a revised target of 235 in 33 overs, managing only 53 for three in nine overs which were possible.
Their top-order surrendered before the Kiwi bowlers, who exploited the conditions well.
