Quinton de Kock being so committed to not being anti-racist that he’d rather not play for his national side than take part in the anti-racism gesture is very telling of him as an individual, rightly called out by the commentators early on too, excellent from Pommie and Sammy.

Congratulations to Kieron Pollard on the six sixes, although I believe after the first six the smarter thing to do was immediately take a single, as most commentators have taught me throughout my time watching T20 cricket.

So England spent two years of test cricket on ‘preparing’ players like Sibley & Crawley for the Ashes only to drop them a few months prior. Sensational work.

Absolutely no idea how Dinesh Karthik juggles being a gun IPL finisher, top quality commentator and yet still manages to watch a ridiculous amount of cricket, so many PSL references which must've clashed with his com duties.
