The one person I feel sorry for with all this is Nasser Hussain
He had a really great record that he held for more than 20 years, which looks like it’s going to be broken in the next couple of days.

Confirmed tonight after the game on 7 that it was her last WBBL game and she is moving on.
What a way to retire after winning the trophy for the first time.

Canes have been the most dominant and destructive team all season, since the beginning I had money they would win it.

Now I’m all for the laws and playing regulations but this really is where common sense needs to take over.
Just take the 30 minutes and finish the game off now.
What benefit is it to anyone to string this out

That was so close to being the first game in which Ellyse Perry has scored 100+ and lost.
She’s never lost a T20, T20i, Test or ODI in which she has scored a century or more

Strikers vs Hurricanes getting abandoned at KRO because of a stray ball in the Strikers innings warm up getting under the roller is both funny and annoying.
If I was Elyse Villani I would be very annoyed that they have lost out on a point through an action in the control of the opposition.

Jofra Archer has now bowled the most balls to Steve Smith without getting him out in test cricket.

Somerset are not having a great off season
Loosing a coach, Captain and Overseas star, is far from ideal.
To lose one may be regarded as unlucky
To lose two may be regarded as unfortunate
To lose three looks like carelessness

Hampshire Signing Amanda Jade Wellington for next season!!
Taking Wello from Somerset, where she’s essentially been for the last 2 years is a big steal from Hampshire.
Somerset are loosing players quite regularly atm, which isn’t looking good for them
