And another glory hunter crawls out from under his rock.

Scotland have set Austria 233 to win in a T20 world cup qualifier.

It's good to see the Austrians embracing the sport.

Or perhaps they haven't.

Scotland beat Austria by 166 runs

Looks like Warner needs replacing as a slip catcher too.

Very good start by England again.

46/0 after 9.

Smith drops a tough chance at second slip off Crawley.

2 drops in 10.1 overs.

Warner's was a dolly.

Cummins looks back to his best, tbf.

The Hundred kicks off today, women at 3pm, men at 6.30pm both on BBC2

With Stuart Broad as co-comm.

You were outplayed for most of the five matches and were only saved by the awful English weather in Manchester.

We both know very well that the Ashes are England's in everything but name.

And a bit of typical convict gamesmanship.

When it isn't raining The Hundred is under way. A shame they always play the laydees first, the men's matches are too late for me.
Yesterday the Welsh Fire men hit 138 and the Oval Invincibles replied with 138.
Last week my home team, London Spirit, hit 131 before Oval Invincibles got to 132 on the 99th ball.

Mitchell Marsh is named Aussie T20 captain for the tour of SA, giving him a good chance of captaining the side in the World Cup.

Luckily Australia didn't bring Spencer Johnson with them to The Ashes. I'm sure we'll be seeing more of this guy:

Australian Spencer Johnson took three wickets on an eye-catching Hundred debut as Oval Invincibles thrashed Manchester Originals by 94 runs.

The 27-year-old left-arm quick finished with extraordinary figures of 3-1 from 20 balls, regularly bowling over 90mph as Originals were dismissed for 92.

Looks like he has all the ingredients.

Even a very silly name.

Christ, what's happened to the NZ T20 side?

They barely scraped into three figures last night.

Well after thrashing India to win the 1 dayer World Cup, then retaining the prized Ashes, Australia have gone on to thrash South Africa 3-0 in the T20 series and are now 2-0 up in the 50 over series.

From strength to formidable strength............

At 8/3 and 55/5 I was convinced England were looking at a demoralising thrashing by the Kiwis.

But what an amazing turnaround with Livingstone smacking an unbeaten 95 and Willey and Topley ripping the heart out of the Kiwi's innings.

Topley looks the goods.

Reece Topley is an amazing limited overs player.

He's from Ipswich, so probably a bit weird.

Grossly inadequate and puerile genralisation from one who claims to hold such a superior education.
