629 runs in 163.4 overs: Singapore-born batsman and South Africa-raised opener notch premier grade record in Australia | Cricket News

3 min readMar 23, 2026 06:44 PM IST A business graduate born in Singapore, Hugo Burdon, and a South African migrant once coached by Marnus Labuschagne, Stephan Muller, combined the highest recorded partnership in Australia’s premier grade cricket. Uniting them at one for 2, the Gold Coast Mens’ pair compiled 629 runs for the third wicket against Northern Suburbs in Queensland Premier Cricket first grade final. Muller remained unbeaten on 272 (492 balls and 31 fours) while Burdon (340 off 492 balls) perished attempting to surpass the highest score in grade cricket, etched in Australia opener Matt Renshaw’s name (344). Burdon, who had featured in six first-class games for Queensland, was the more aggressive among the two, spanking 30 fours and 12 maximums. He, though, did not anticipate to bat in the first over itself. He was not ready, but some pleasant words from his opponent’s fans when he walked in motivated him. “When we were 2-1, they had a little peanut gallery that were offering us some advice,” Burdon said. “We seemed to quieten …

Soorma Hockey Club notch first win of Women’s HIL season with victory over Ranchi Royals

Soorma Hockey Club registered their maiden victory of the Women’s Hockey India League 2025–26 season with a hard-fought 2–1 win over Ranchi Royals at the Marang Gomke Jaipal Singh Astro Turf Hockey Stadium in Ranchi on Monday. Soorma made an ideal start to the contest, striking within the opening minute. After earning back-to-back penalty corners, Penny Squibb converted the second attempt with a precise drag-flick to give her side an early advantage. The Australian forward remained influential at both ends, producing a crucial goal-line clearance shortly after to preserve the lead as Ranchi attempted to respond. Ranchi Royals gradually settled into the contest and enjoyed a strong second quarter, pushing Soorma deep into their own half. Despite registering multiple circle entries and penalty corners, the hosts were unable to break through a well-organised Soorma defence, which maintained its shape and composure to ensure a 1–0 lead at the break. The pressure finally told after the interval. Ranchi found the equaliser in the 35th minute when Hannah Cotter carved through the defence and set up Agostina …

iPhone SE 4 Tipped to Feature iPhone 14-Like Notch; Dummy Images Hint at Key Design Changes

iPhone SE 4 Tipped to Feature iPhone 14-Like Notch; Dummy Images Hint at Key Design Changes

iPhone SE 4 is rumoured to be in development as the successor to the iPhone SE (2022). While previous reports suggested that the purported phone could benefit from Apple’s Dynamic Island, an industry analyst has rebuffed these claims, stating that it will still have a notch design similar to the iPhone 14. Leaked dummy images shed light on the overall appearance of the iPhone SE 4 which also resembles the iPhone 14, bar the rear camera setup. iPhone SE 4’s Design Replying to a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ross Young, industry analyst and Vice President at Counterpoint Research highlighted that rumours about the iPhone SE 4 having an iPhone 14-like notch are “correct”. This goes against recent claims of Apple incorporating Dynamic Island in its most affordable iPhone model. Meanwhile, tipster Majin Bu shared a live video snippet of the purported iPhone SE 4 which gives a glimpse at its design. The phone appears to be a mix of several iPhone models in terms of design. The back of the device is reminiscent of …

iPhone SE 4 appears in new photos and video, notch and all

iPhone SE 4 appears in new photos and video, notch and all

We might have just gotten our best look yet at Apple’s next affordable iPhone SE, shown in both video and photographs of what’s either a real phone or a convincing dummy unit. Despite some reports that the next SE would adopt recent iPhones’ Dynamic Island design, this model appears to stick with the older notch. Leaker Majin Bu shared a short video over the weekend that shows the new phone in bright daylight, following it up a day later with photos of both white and black versions. Like previous iPhone SE models there’s only a single rear camera, though this appears to be the first in the line to feature a USB-C port — now a requirement for the phone to be sold in the EU. The biggest surprise is that the phone features Apple’s older notched display, rather than the Dynamic Island design that leaker Evan Blass had tipped it to include. This is hard to make out clearly in the video, but the selfie camera’s position just left of centre matches the iPhone …

AR Rahman on Shyam Benegal: Some people are able to take art a notch higher

AR Rahman on Shyam Benegal: Some people are able to take art a notch higher

Some creative partnerships are the epitome of excellence. That’s how AR Rahman and Shyam Benegal’s association turned out in unforgettable movies like Zubeidaa and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero. After the veteran filmmaker passed away today, Filmfare spoke to AR Rahman who was heartbroken but he still managed to articulate his thoughts as an ode to Shyam Benegal. Excerpts… There are some people who take art a notch higher through their filmmaking, their lyrics or just their thoughts. Shyam ji was one of them. I remember researching for his films be it Zubeidaa (2001) and Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero (2005) – both period pieces. He wasn’t very exacting. He was easy to work with. I recall Javed saab having discussions with him and then Javed saab and I working on the songs together. Unlike the traditional format of song sittings with the director he was always happy with whatever tune I came up with. He’d always say, “nice nice”. And I would wonder, does he actually like it that much? …

54 Off 21 Balls: Richa Ghosh Equals ‘Fastest 50’ World Record As India Notch 217/4 Against West Indies

Richa Ghosh (54) equalled the world record for the fastest fifty in women’s T20Is (18 balls) after Smriti Mandhana‘s (77) fireworks as India registered 217 for 4 in the series-deciding third and final match against the West Indies here on Thursday. It was also India’s highest-ever total in the shortest format, going past the 201/5 against the UAE in the Asia Cup earlier this year. The 21-year-old Ghosh reached 54 off just 21 balls (3×4, 5×6), alongside equalling the record for the fastest fifty being jointly held by New Zealand’s Sophie Devine and Australia’s Phoebe Litchfield. Ghosh’s blitz came after Mandhana became the leading run-scorer in this format this year, reaching 763 runs in 23 T20Is, while smacking her third consecutive fifty of the series and eighth of the year. She moved ahead of Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu in the run-scorer’s list. Having erred in the second game by not putting enough runs on the board, India rode on Mandhana’s charge to get their runs at nearly 10 an over. Her pull …

Notably, this was the first 150-plus opening partnership outside Ashes …
