this isn't bazball. this is the reason they had bazball in the first place: that is, they had a bad test team and a good short form team. this time around, they just thought maybe they had a good test team again. well. #ashes

excited to have the australian men as a curtain-raiser to the women's odi later. will be great to raise the profile of the young fellas, and get a few eyes on the men's game that otherwise wouldn't have tuned in

look, as someone who's gone out in a lot of embarrassing ways, i don't really have a leg to stand on. so i won't be commenting on that wicket. just thinking it very loudly

pretty embarrassing to have male commentators sitting there calling this the first day of the cricket summer when the australian women's team quite literally JUST qualified for a world cup semi final. like actually a bit embarrassed for them

this australian nhl broadcast is farcical thus far. feed keeps dropping out and freezing. why this needed to be done from new york if there are such high level connectivity issues is beyond me but it's pretty insulting.

i love world cup logic. you're allowed to drop that one actually because you hit a match-winning century the other day. runs on the board, so to speak, over several matches. also of note is beth mooney can do whatever she wants for the rest of the tournament

They just took a Florida goal off the board (it was scored like six minutes ago in playing time) because Mikkola was ejected but hadn't left? Never seen anything like this.
