Red dust and rain combined to give some of the blue courts at the Australian Open a more Roland Garros hue, adding yet another element to the freakish conditions that have plagued the first four days of the tournament.Smoke from devastating bush fires on Australia's east coast caused air quality in Melbourne last week to be ranked among the worst in the world, and impacted on qualifying.So far this week, rain on three of the first four days of the tournament has caused more difficulties for players and organizers.Play was delayed on outside courts Thursday by more showers and what a weather expert called "dirty rain" that left red dust covering some outside courts at Melbourne Park, forced the closer of some public pools and turned the water in the Yarra River which winds between the tennis complex and the city deep brown.Melbourne Park staff used high-pressure hoses to clean court surfaces. Light rain became heavy, forcing the suspension of play on outside courts until the sun came out in the mid-afternoon.O

Ross Taylor has jumped to the defence of Kane Williamson, claiming the Black Caps captain still has plenty to offer the team.Following last month's Boxing Day test where New Zealand was crushed by Australia, former Black Caps captain Brendon McCullum suggested Williamson had lost his love of the role.McCullum questioned some of Williamson's tactics and said his successor as captain wasn't enjoying the role as much as prior years, describing him as a "reluctant leader".McCullum's comments sparked rumours that Williamson could look to step down from the captaincy role in the T20 format following this year's World Cup.However, Taylor didn't believe Williamson giving up the captaincy was necessary."I think he's got a lot to offer this team as a captain in years to come," Taylor said."Kane's been through a lot over the last little while. Obviously the World Cup was pretty interesting for the whole team ... but I'm sure he'll make the right decision for him and the team."I don't think giving up a format as captain
