Cairns (Australia), Feb. 26 : Prisoners at the Innisfail's work camp are reportedly enjoying pornography, mobile phone calls and unsupervised use of a vehicle to roam Australia's Cairns District, sources have claimed.
Several insiders told The Cairns Post that prisoners had been going into town and other places without supervision.
Corrective Services officers and a dog squad searched the camp recently and are believed to have seized pornographic material and a mobile telephone.
Three prisoners were returned to Lotus Glen prison on the Tableland and one prisoner and his wife are facing charges relating to the search.
Melbourne, Feb 26: South Africa captain Graeme Smith has said that his team aims to follow its recent series win in Australia with a home triumph that will represent a "comprehensive beating" of the world champions.
Speaking on the eve of the first Test which starts at the Wanderers Stadium today, Smith said his players were "relaxed and focused" ahead of the most eagerly anticipated series in South Africa since the country returned to international cricket in 1991.
Melbourne, Feb 26 : Johannesburg's bullring stadium, the Wanderers Ground, provides no refuge for the timid cricketer and has always produced results either good or bad.
The last time Australian and South Africa played a one-day international at the ground, Australia set a world-record score of 434 only to watch the home side better it in the next innings.
Australia, meanwhile, have a 3-1 post-Apartheid record in Test matches, having twice won by an innings, FOX Sports reported.
Melbourne, Feb 26 : Former opener David Boon is hugely impressed by Australian opening batsman Phil Hughes.
Hughes is set to open Australia's batting with fellow left-hander Simon Katich in the first Test against South Africa starting today in Johannesburg.
Boon says an incident in a Sheffield Shield game in Hobart in December underlined Hughes' potential.
"He has a big ticker because I know Hilfy (Ben Hilfenhaus) cleaned him up with one at Bellerive. But he took his time, got himself right and got back into the job and nothing changed," The Courier Mail quoted Boon, as saying.
Melbourne, Feb 26: Sex has been around for much longer than many scientists had previously believed - 380 million years to be exact. That's the conclusion of new study which discovered a fossilised pregnant fish and her embryo.
According to ABC Online, remains of the primitive fish have provided the earliest known evidence of copulation and live births in the animal kingdom, the study published in Nature stated.
Until the evolution of the armoured fish, sex is thought to have been limited to external fertilisation techniques in which sperm and eggs were squirted into the water to mix.
