    Much like us in 2019.

    Seems to be a slow pitch.

    It's a very dry pitch - I think the Aussies were hoping for an early dew.

    Getting out of it now - 116/3. A decent little partnership between Head and Labuschagne. Probably can't afford to lose either of them though

    And there's his century - off 95 balls.

    185/3 - still a way to go.

    Aussies started with a hammering from India but they have got revenge in a very big and impressive way .

    Shame for Travis Head though - out with just two runs needed. Brilliant innings though - and a great team performance from Australia.

    A pretty close match in the first of the India v Australia T20 series - India won thanks to a no-ball after a strange final over. A hat trick from Sean Abbott saw the sides tied at 208 with just one ball remaining - Abbott must be kicking himself for bowling a no ball...

    India probably wish the Aussies were as careless on Sunday !

    Unexpected win for Australia the third T20 match -- with 57 runs needed from the final 3 overs, it looked too much for them.
    Hitting 30 runs in the final over was a bit of a help...

    Kept the series alive, with India leading 2-1.

    Edit - whoops, it was India who hit 30 runs in their final over. Australia only hit 23...

    Love him or hate him, you have to hand it to David Warner -154 not out in his penultimate Test Match, half of Australia's first innings score of 4/308 against Pakistan.

    Luke Littler.

    A man on a young person's body it seems.

    Wins all his matches easily with such good darts.

    Shows great maturing.

    Let's hope he can cope with all the media attention as he has so far.

    I believe he is worth a bob or two now. Hope he gets good advice.

    Watched his semi-final just to see if he lived up to all the hype - but have to say both players were disappointing. Many moons ago I used to play darts in the club bar in the old Main Stand - I can still reel off the names of at least six guys who could wipe the floor with both of them.

    I suppose the only way is down for him as people will now expect hm to be like this each year ..

    More pressure and media attention.

    Funny Test match going on in Cape Town between South Africa and India. With an hour's play left on Day1, SA are into their second innings already. Bowling them out for 55 in their first innings, India were cruising at 153/4 in reply, then lost their last 6 wickets for no runs.

    SA currently 37/0
