Accusations prompt threat of action in Australia sailing row
Accusations from Syd Fischer of the Steak n Kidney syndicate spark threats of action by Taskforce 87, backers of Kookaburra I and II, over claims of collusion with a Perth TV station during a protest between Kookaburra II and Steak n Kidney. Fischer said a race camera was unavailable and televised excerpts aired outside the jury room, arguing race footage should be accessible to the opposing side.

Cash seals Australian Davis Cup win over Sweden
Pat Cash, 21, delivered three decisive wins on grass to lift Australia to a 3-2 victory over Sweden in Melbourne. He defeated Stefan Edberg in singles, teamed with John Fitzgerald for a doubles win, and staged a remarkable comeback against Mikael Pernfors in five sets to clinch the cup. Pernfors, a two-time NCAA champion, impressed early but faded as Cash's serve and volley dominance prevailed. Australia repeated its 1982 triumph at the same venue, with captain Neale Fraser hailing Cash's performance as defined by resilience.
