BBL
What a great tournament we had when Brisbane Heat crowned as the champions for the second time, with a 54-run win against Sydney Sixers at the SCG on January 24.
It was their year anyway, performing so well in all three departments. With a just one loss in the group stage, they top it, but lost the qualifiers against the Sixers, but able to win the final.
Spencer Johnson was the player of the final, taking4 wickets for 26 runs. Matthew Short became the highest run-scorer scoring 541 runs in 11 matches. Xavier Bartlett was the highest wicket taker, with 20 wickets.
West Indies tour of Australia
It's a full tour of 2 Tests , 3 ODIs , 3 T20s.
The first Test match was already finished. Australia won it by 10 wickets with a standout performance inside 03 days.
Australia troubled the WI batting line-up early restricting them for just 180 runs. Cummins and Josh shred 4 wickets each. Anyway Aussies also troubled with the bat making only 283 runs, with an amazing hundred form Head. Shamar Joseph took 5 wickets.
WI second innings became even more shorter for just 120 runs. Once again Hazlewood took a fifer. Aussie had a target of just 25 runs and chasing it without losing wickets.

Congratulations! Your comment has been upvoted through steemcurator08.Pat Cummins! I agree 100% with you! He just had one hell of a year.
Umh... I've got the name. I just need the surname.
The only cricket I get to watch these days is the local series. I often wonder what we would have done without T20's. Not only does it entertain us, but it is quickly over and done with.
At least there is the internet, not to mention your post, that brings us the weekly scores.
PS: I've missed the pot with my team world team selections. (•ิ‿•ิ)
