Very Poor bowling by the Thunder - too wide and short and everything in between - Hurricanes 0/74 after only 4 overs

[King Salvo]

Fastest 50 for Mitchell Owen in BBL History - not sure what the fastest 100 is but well within reach - Thunder need a miracle now - Hurricanes 0/109 after 7 overs chasing 183

[King Salvo]

Thunder finally take a wicket but need plenty more - can they bowl the Hurricanes out ? - They will have to now with what the Hurricanes have scored so far

[King Salvo]

Mitchell Owen equals the record for the fastest 100 - 29 balls - 10 sixes and 6 4's

Hurricanes 2/138 after 10 needing 45 to win in the last 10 - Thunder needs a double or triple miracle - Pretty poor bowling though by Thunder - short / wide/ everything in between - no consistency - more of a hope bowling that a poor shot would result in a wicket.

Owen finally dismissed for 108 - Hurricanes 3/139 - 44 to win

Hobart was probably the best and most consistent team in the comp so deserved their win. The Stars are now the only franchise never to win.

Another good day for the the Australian Women Cricket Team in the Women's Ashes- 252 run lead with 5 wickets in hand going into day 3 - Beth Mooney on 98 needed another 2 runs - Great Innings from Annabel Sutherland 163 - really coming of age - Alana King continues to impress taking 4 for 45 with her leg spin - Warney would be smiling.

Aussies up 12 - 0 on the points table and on the verge of a clean sweep vs England if they win this 4 day Test.

Ripper of a delivery by Alana King to bowl Sophia Dunkley

England 4/104 still 166 behind to make Australia bat again.

[King Salvo]

England 9/134 - Alana King hopefully will take the last wicket to get on the honours board with 5 wickets - 4 wickets in both innings so far and has bowled exceptionally well again - The amount of spin and turn Alana generates would have even Warney smiling - Ash Gardner has bowled superbly as well in England's second innings.

[King Salvo]

Congrats to the Aussie Women's Cricket team in sweeping England in the multi format Ashes Test series and so happy for Alana King that she got that last wicket for a 5 for to get on the honours board - players need to score 100 and take 5 wickets in an innings to get on the this famous honours board which goes back to 1877 when Aussie Charles Bannerman made 165 not out vs England in the first ever Cricket Test Match.

Aussie men also had a massive win over Sri Lanka.

I have zero interest in womens cricket or that T20 rubbish, but did enjoy the tests against India.

Two annoying things were the stupid bison and that puss in boots character on channel 7. At least they took care of one of them.

The Sri Lankan result was one for the ages, 4th biggest win of all time. Rooster supporting Smith got another century.

[Andrew Walker]

Australia well on top on day 4 Sri Lanka 9 down with a last innings lead of only 69

[mightyrooster]

Just started watching. Just need to get this last wicket.

[mightyrooster]

Great series by the Aussies. First time they’ve won a series in Sri Lanka in 14 years.
