Congratulations to Bangladesh on an outstanding achievement. The fast bowling revolution that started years ago within their cricket has made its biggest impact so far.

[Mohammad Isam @Isam84]

Bangladesh were priveleged to finally get a Test match in Australia after 23 years. They have made the best of it, beating the home side by nine wickets.

On the Richter's scale, it is off the scale, as David Lloyd said about the 2005 Cardiff miracle. Holds true for Darwin too.

Skull's the best in the business for a reason!
@kokeeffe49 certainly did his homework on Bangladesh! 📝

Massive shoutout to @SBS who have absolutely smashed the FIFA World Cup broadcast in Australia with great coverage, decent panel and no sensationalized commentary and all of it absolutely FREE!

Goated stuff 🐐

🚨 Exclusive: ICC to back Bengaluru-based LightFury Games in first startup deal; set to award global gaming rights

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is in advanced talks to invest in Bengaluru-based game-tech startup LightFury Games, people familiar with the matter told Moneycontrol, marking the global cricket body's maiden investment in a startup.

The proposed deal comes as LightFury Games is learnt to have bagged the ICC's official gaming rights across multiple platforms including mobile, PC, and console globally, sources said. This marks a rare instance when a digital gaming company has received rights for all the platforms at the same time.

LightFury Games was founded by former Unacademy partner and chief marketing officer Karan Shroff, gaming industry veteran Anurag Banerjee, and former Unacademy and Tencent Games executive Tina Balachandran.

The startup counts India's top cricketers Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravindra Jadeja among its backers. These players are expected to feature as playable characters within the game at launch

Good one by @tsuvik

"I think the long-term question is: what does that mean for the development of your players? And what sort of style do you end up with in five or six years if you were to maintain the surfaces you're playing on now?"

Ajit Agarkar will be remembered as one of the best selectors India has had. Never afraid of making bold calls.

Sky Cricket's new ticker is outstanding. The design is sleek and the functionality is great as well. Gets rid of a lot of graphics that take up screen space otherwise. A little less workload for the director. More autonomy for the graphics operator. Win win.

Today was the end of the @StarsBBL and the @RenegadesBBL as we know them.

Staff were informed the Stars & the Renegades are merging into one brand new Victorian franchise to play at the MCG & likely wear navy blue.

The club will be called the Melbourne (insert nickname), but it won't be the Stars.

Cricket Victoria has committed to selling its second license entirely.

Important read. I wish I could say it's surprising.
