GB suffer whitewash by Australia
The Great Britain men's wheelchair basketball team warmed up for this month's European Championships with a 4-0 series defeat away to Australia.

GB lost heavily in the first two games, going down to a 75-49 loss in game one, followed by a 65-51 defeat.

But they rallied in game three, losing by just a single point 69-67 with Jon Pollock scoring 21 points and Simon Munn on 17.

The final game saw GB lose 68-60 to the Athens silver medalists.

Munn hit 23 points for GB in a game which saw the return of the experienced Troy Sachs after a shoulder injury sustained in 2005.

The games formed part of GB's preparation for the European Championships which begin in just over two weeks and where they must finish in the top four to secure their place at next year's Beijing Paralympics.

They will face the Czech Republic, Bosnia, Spain, France and Sweden in the pool stages with the other pool featuring defending champions Italy, Israel, Poland, the Netherlands, Turkey and the hosts Germany.
