Wow, Indian players looked scared like hell against that Bracewell assault. Hats off to NZ. They nearly won the game but definitely won the hearts. The fact that there was loud and genuine applause when he brought up his hundred says it all. Typically you can hear crickets chirping whenever an opposition player dies something of note at most Indian grounds.

Speaking of pub comp cricket Jason Roy is a sad sight. True dat. Did you hear Herchelle Gibbs talking about in the commentary? He says Roy came to him for advice, but Herch says he didn't know what to say so he just told the struggling batter to "stay positive". It's what Herch didn't say that was most interesting. Do you think Roy is a spent force?

Do you think Roy is a spent force? Never good technically, just had a good eye. He appears to have lost that and, with no technique to speak of, there's nothing to fall back on. He's also lacking any confidence, which is self-fulfilling in a way for batters of his type. I think he's done.

Great win by Heat. Had put some money on heat also. They showed great composure while Wade was taking the game away from them.

India aren't quite going to need 7 an over tonight: NZ 5-28 in the 13th over.

Sixers 2-79 at a cool and damp SCG. I hope the rain holds off….I didn’t bring an umbrella.
Big crowd tonight - 30K+ I reckon

Geez, the Thunder generally abd Warner specifically are struggling here. 4-33 in the 9th over. Dave 15no off 21 balls.
NZ all out for 108. Quick game's a good game I guess.

Heat managed to finally turn their season after slow start and now have won 4 in a row!
Scorchers have been asked to bat first by the Renegades. Let's see what kind of score Scorchers set, they have not batted first many times this season.

David Moody is going to be taken off the attack and he can't bowl any more in the game after he bowled two beamers to Scorchers batsman. I thought the second one was not dangerous but I can understand him being taken off.

Oh boy, Eskinazi and now Bancroft is totally murdering the opposition. 56 runs in 3.2 Overs as I write.

Let's see what kind of score Scorchers set, they have not batted first many times this season. Well, they're 10 overs in and on track for 200+ so I think they set totals just fine.

I saw the entire first innings of Scorchers but left the game thinking there's not much. Later read about that 31 runs over against Andrew Tye.

Adam Rossington (71 in 30) - and Roelof Van Der Merwe (6 for 20) were on fire last night for the Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Fact is, If Rossington hadn't of run himself out, he might have made 150, what an innings. And there was a great atmosphere at St. George's Park, I had a blast.

Faf you beauty. The brilliant Du Plessis once again showing why he should have been leading SA at the last World Cup. This was one hell of a century from South Africa's finest T20 player.
BONUS Clip. Faf in the field.

Heat absolutely choke a home final away failing to chase 121 against Hobart. They needed 16 to win off their last 3 overs with 5 wickets in hand.
Thunder are either going to say "Here's how you do it," or " Hold my beer," chasing 121 themselves to advance to the finals. Warner goes early after looking like shit for 3 balls (yes, that is possible). Hmmmm
