Most ppl here follow me for cricket reporting and/or bad WCE takes. But for the last 4 yrs, I’ve travelled around the world following 3-on-3 basketball. So I wrote a book via @PitchPublishing on how this quirky game became an Olympic sport. Check it out https://t.co/5gSBS4c3Gp

This was the most dominant of Scorchers' 6 titles - won in different ways, road success + thrashed Sixers x2 in finals. A look into how they shaped this bolder, aggressive side starting with the recruitment of Finn Allen + fostering a successful culture https://t.co/4Mp0Mh8D6X

In what has been a strangely familiar sight at Optus Stadium this cricket season, it is currently raining. But the radar looks good and there hopefully won’t be delays for Scorchers-Sixers final. Around 55,000 fans expected with the atmosphere heaving outside #BBL15

Those who visit Perth are often surprised to find out how much the city gets behind Scorchers, the hottest ticket in town in summer -more than the Perth Test. Sixers set to face a cauldron at 55,000 Optus Stadium, with even Steve Smith not spared by fans https://t.co/4yam0gQ2wM

Allrounder Aaron Hardie is Scorchers' most important player - their Swiss army knife as shown in his terrific BBL season. Hardie has fallen down the pecking order of Australia's white-ball teams but remains a player of interest across the three formats. https://t.co/aqdE2coSkh

He may have been overshadowed by other Scorchers players like Allen, Connolly etc, but he has quietly had an all-round BBL season

Enjoyed chatting to Jack Wildermuth who recounted Heat’s record chase vs Scorchers. He also opened up on the plan to emulate Mitch Owen’s successful shift up the order Wildermuth played 2 T20Is in 2018 & still has hope of playing for Australia one day https://t.co/uKHtZMiMFU

The allrounder had gone nearly four years without a BBL appearance, but in echos of the Mitch Owen story, an off-season switch could be a masterstroke

Jack Wildermuth hadn't played a T20 since early 2022, and had two ducks in two innings as an opener. Then he smashed 110 not out off 54 balls @trislavalette speaks to him about that record-breaking night at the Gabba https://t.co/oCY9K65Ouu

Enjoyed chatting to Ben McDermott about his switch to being a freelance franchise cricketer. He hasn’t played for Australia for 2 years but a recent call up to their T20 squad vs India has revived his hopes. He is set to bat 4-5 for ‘Canes in the BBL https://t.co/ViG8astF2e
