yeah a little bit of a choke job

after being 133-0 after 11 overs that should have been comfortable

McCullum is going to be fun to watch in this tournament, he just goes for it from ball one

Earlier today Otago defended 249 against Central Districts who scored 248.

That's both sides scoring at over 12 an over, crazy.

B Mac scores 42 @ 200, Dunk doubles that - 85 @ 198.

A clear case for Dunk to be MotM, imo. Winning should make your efforts any better, if it was merely down to efforts of team-mates that got you the actual win.

Bravo won't want to see that dismissal again!

Normally I'm not a great fan of T20 but after a winter of watching England it's a treat to watch this. I thought Bravo was going to make a big score until that wild swing got him out.
Looking forward to seeing Ian Bell tomorrow, a big step for him as his introduction to T20 in the best tournament in the world.

Bravo got the last laugh in the end. Good death bowling as usual a couple of wickets and a run out.

Good to see some kids in the stands doing the bravo champion dance!

Narine took two wickets too. Can he make it to the end without being reported?

fast start from the Hobart opener with a great name, D'arcy Short

I see Bollinger has moved the rug from his head to his chin, still bowling well though. Broad has done well to get a place at Hobart where the home conditions will often suit his bowling.

Yes, the Aussies were irritated by the way the England players went off the field so often and the Pratt run out just added to their anger.

yeah i know, it was more how 11 years later he still seemed really annoyed about it

Looking at the scorchers squad they've got a lot of batsmen so I wonder if Bell will get a game. They might have expected Voges to be with the Aussie test team but he's available.

Nothing else on TV so I thought I'd watch this and I've just been treated to Ricky Ponting singing a Barmy army tune!
