Considering that 30 is considered the benchmark for a big score in T20s (often seen as the equivalent of a 50 in other formats), Nat Sciver-Brunt's WPL form has been incredible. in nine innings, she's gone past 30 on eight occasions:
80*

As was discovered by England’s women during the recent Ashes, public perception on a squad having a relaxed atmosphere can become brutal very quickly if results go badly.
Unfair criticism or not, getting the message right is crucial for how the team is viewed.

Remarkable numbers for the Hundred sales:
£470m with a valuation of the franchises of around £960m.
For context into the scale, the hugely successful Surrey filed 2023/24 profits of £7.6m.
The ECB for the same period had profits of £22.85m.
These figures are astronomical.

He doesn’t play in it that often, but Steve Smith is elite in BBL cricket.
His last seven innings have seen scores of:
101
125*
66
18
61
0 (oops)
112
Averaging 98.8.
If and when he leaves Test cricket he’s got a world of T20 contracts awaiting him.

One of those very frustrating days so far in Sydney.
The fourth rain delay and we’ve just had the conclusion of the first innings (5.5 hours after scheduled start)!

On cold days like this, seeing footballers in their matching official gloves, I’m reminded of a simpler time.
And that time was Nicolas Anelka wearing goalie gloves playing up front for France.

A slightly alarming reminder that the week Luke Littler was born the top 20 included:
Patience by Take That
Rehab by Amy Winehouse
I Don’t Feel Like Dancing by Scissor Sisters
And Wayne Rooney had been playing for England for nearly four years.

What a great game of cricket, everything you could wish for from a Test match.
A crowd of 373,691 across five days smashes a record held for 87 years, too.

Ben Stokes ruled out of all cricket for three months and will require surgery on a torn hamstring.
Clearly a big blow, but given there’s no Test cricket until May there are worse times for it to have happened.
Like his knee, England will hope this is a chance to get it sorted.

So many really exciting performances from England Test sides in the past few days and weeks:
- Carse, Bethell, Atkinson, Brook
- Bell, Filer, Bouchier, MacDonald-Gay
Much to be enjoyed (despite Hamilton disappointment)

All a bit easy for Kapp and Luus to keep things rattling along.

You can forgive a few loose deliveries when the wicket-taking ball is just around the corner.

England flying at 357-4, suddenly 391-8.
Pitch turning, ball nipping about, could be a good one.
