Got home from work in time to watch most of West Indies hitting 21 fours and 23 sixes in their ODI innings against England. Chris Gayle with 135 off 129 balls, including three fours and 12 sixes. Very impressive, very entertaining. England now need 361 to win. 🏏

Great to see BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra broadcasting ABC Grandstand’s live ball by ball coverage of the Australia vs India cricket Test series. I listened to a couple of hours of it when I couldn’t sleep in the early hours of this morning. Good quality commentary and good to see that Alison Mitchell is part of ABC’s commentary team. Will enjoy more during the nights to come, I’m sure.
