Suffice it say that Stuart Broad is not my favourite person at the moment.

What an absolute bellend.

Not at all surprised, based on a lot of things I have heard before.

Can you imagine a Warwickshire player coming out with tosh like this? Don't think so. We have a clue.

I saw that Tweet and just took it as him being amazed by such a statistic, but I can see how it could be interpreted with the hashtags.

Yorkshire have signed Aaron Finch for all cricket next season and Glenn Maxwell will play in the hit and run.

In fairness, many top sports people live in a bubble world of their own.

When Moeen Ali was told off about wearing pro-Palestine wristbands, a journo asked Belly what his thoughts were on the Gaza situation.

His reply: "Who's Gaza?"

Am I the only one who is outraged by the fact that there seems to be outrage about Broad's tweet?

Absolute storm in a teacup. Nonsense

Nearly an amazing end to Brett Lee's career. The Big Bash final went down to the last ball, one run to win, Lee on a hat-trick. Arafat ran for a hopeless single, but the fielder at the stumps (the captain) fumbled it.

Gutted for him. Real respect for the guy.

I've just finished watching that. What a last over. Brett Lee is one of my fave players ever.

Imagine, your last 3 balls in cricket and you take wickets with 2 of them and nearly conjure a run out from the last. You couldn't make it up.

Overall very good, but poor last few overs there. We can't switch off like that.

I was really disappointed with the first dozen or so overs, should have made some early breakthrough's with the new ball, Woakes bowled too short in his first spell but came back well when he swapped ends
his 9th over was one to forget though. Finn superb again. Having said that though i'd have taken 200 all out at the start.

Finn really is getting back to his best, which is a huge relief. We're struggling with the bat here though, it looks tough.

Our terrible bowling in the last few overs could come back to haunt us here.
