The QDK thing was a massive over-reaction from all and sundry. The most salient part of his response was this -

“I didn’t understand why I had to prove it with a gesture, when I live and learn and love people from all walks of life every day. When you are told what to do, with no discussion, I felt like it takes away the meaning."

Oh, and yeah, he comes from a mixed race family. FFS

He could have done himself a big favour by saying that more immediately. Now he has to hope the media have stayed interested.

I'm sure he'd prefer it if the media forgot all about it. Which they will, by tomorrow.

Zampa really has become a world class short form player.

Warner did something? Didn't expect it tbh.

Yuck Davey Warner

There we go. Runs against the lowest ranked side in our pool, so Warner and Finch have topped up their credits in the bank for another 2 years.

Great finish to that T20
Good death bowling by Russell

 

[Truckosaurus]

That top order is still struggling badly though.

 

[ep2018]

Finishing 2nd in our group and playing Pakistan would be preferable to finishing top and playing India/New Zealand.

Much rather NZ than Pakistan.

 

[Ochre]

I think Pakistan are definitely the best team in that group, and I wouldn't rule Afghanistan out of finishing second in it either

 

[Truckosaurus]

It's a good thing WA didn't choke because I don't think I'm going to enjoy the T20 tonight.

So the Scorchers win a tied game through a super over against a team wearing blue with Kapp keeping it tight, two runouts and Devine finishing it with a six. Why does that sound so familiar?

Kapp got her wife out, if I'm not mistaken. I've played against mates and against family members (cousin) but I can't fathom ever playing against (and dismissing) my spouse. Super awkward round the dinner table.

Na, sounds like fun to me.

Bragging rights forever more. Not to mention a memorable way to end any future argument (might cost a night in the doghouse though).
