    That was quite extraordinary from Lynn.

    Laughed at his tweet about a "man crush" for Baz - and Baz was the first person he showed the tweet to. The Heat do seem to be enjoying themselves. Have yet to see anything from Dan V, been very quiet.

    Shane Watson may be a tool, and an ordinary test player, but shit he's a handy T20 player. Great bowling last night backed up with some huge hitting to keep his side "alive".

    He was always quality in the shorter forms, one of the best allrounders going at his peak. I don't think he was handled that well in tests, though him being a cock probably had a lot to do with that.

    Thunder lose Dre Russ, and suddenly find form.

    Coincidence?

    Fuck I love Brett Geeves's writing.

    On Monday, he wrote a pretty decent article about the prep for playing a test in India, based on suggestions that Matt Renshaw was astoundingly not guaranteed his place on the plane to India. It was a fair article about scheduling etc

    Darren Lehman was asked about, and pretty much wrote it off because Geeves "wasn't a very good player"

    And so today to Geeve's response

    Delightfully pissy at the bottom

    They don't seem to use it in any T20s that I've watched.

    Yeah I wondered. Obviously no lack of $$.

    Been a couple of caught behinds in the last couple of games I watched that were pretty obviously out.

    Anyone else watch that amazing BBL game last night? Everyone for the Renegades chipped in as they smashed 222/4 (hitting 9 sixes between them). Hard to lose from there right?

    Hobart ran them down on the last ball. Young McDermott hit 114 off 52 (with 9 sixes), Bailey hit 59, and Stuart Broad hit 11 off 4 in the last over to get them home. Great chase, great game.

    Caught the last ball, saw the score, then realised the TiVo had the last half hour buffered so I rewound for a look.

    The Hurricanes were utterly in the shit from about 15 overs, losing wickets like a pack of shunts. Bailey helps steady the ship, then shit goes sour when Finch puts on his worst fucking bowler for the last over when the opposition go 8 down.

    Seriously, he should have put himself on. Perera is crap. Nice step-across by Broad for the first 4, but the rest was just shit.

    Was an amazing game. Normally around 30% of BBL games are fizzers, and you can pretty easily call the winner after the first innings. This year I reckon that's dropped to about 10%, it's great.

    Agree with Nick though, Perera's bowling in that last over was just dross.

    That full-toss wide was basically sealed the deal.

    The last over has really cost the Renegades. When Finch had to bowl the last against the Scorchers, and Agar put him over the fence was another close one lost at the last second

    Incredible thing last night was how well Narine bowled. The other 16 overs just had to go for slightly under 200 and the Renegades would have won.

    ODI series underway. Aus 65/3, with Warner, Smith, and Lynsanity back in the sheds already (of course Lyn hit a 6 over mid-wicket before getting out). Travis Head doing all the scoring, and he's joined by the awesome (just for you @NTA ) Mitch Marsh

    Have Aus let the test success go to their heads? They've picked a great T20 side, but it looks ultra reliant on Smith batting for a long time. It's a team made up of hitters.

    And now Marsh goes and they are in deeeep shit. Relying on Maxwell, Wade and Faulkner to bat for 33 overs.
