- Speaking of which, India has just secured a victory over Pakistan in an U19 World Cup semifinal today. Maybe these guys will get to play Tests against each other. We can always hope.
- BBL09 is now done with the Burninator, the Skeletor, and the Kick-save and are moving on to the Chalamet and the Final Fantasy (possibly not the correct names for these games).

India beat England with three balls remaining, England won a super over over Australia, and Australia beat India with seven balls remaining. Ellyse Perry took four wickets and was high scorer with 49 runs.
