What a tragedy. This must be first such death due to ball throwing machine ? At least I haven't heard of such news before.

Cricket Victoria confirmed that Ben Austin, 17, was struck in the neck with a ball that was thrown by a "wanger" — a ball-throwing device — before a game.
Ben had been wearing a helmet but not a stem guard, head of Cricket Victoria Nick Cummins confirmed.

"The ball hit him in the neck in a similar accident that Phil Hughes suffered 10 years ago," Mr Cummins said, adding that

India playing their 2nd T20i in Australia now. India batted first and set a well below par score. Australia will take some stopping.

Three nil series win for NZ. It got close in the end.

MoM in India's match credited Jesus for the win so with 52 million Christians in SA, this should be a no brainer.

Come on Jesus, show it to those Pagans.

We seriously need to move our batting order around. 1-4 should be in form guys only Hendricks looks okay the rest are shít.

A out of form QdK needs to come in at 5 or 6. Let a bowler open the batting at this point.

Shot placement is shít, they need to take a over and get in, even in 20-20

What a champion. She tried her best but didn't get as much as support from rest of the team yesterday. Well done to SA-W team. If they continue like that, they are sure to bag trophy soon.

SA really trying to make it look difficult.
213/6 40overs.

The promotion of this Pakistan series has been so shít. I kept hearing all day about women's cricket, but no mention that the men are even playing on regular news.
