Players predict who will star in BBL|15 Having retained the majority of their championship-winning squad as well as adding Australian stars Beau Webster and Jake Weatherald, Hobart Hurricanes know that if they play well enough, they’ll again be in contention “when the whips are cracking”. Those two additions plus the international experience garnered by Mitch Owen following his breakout season, arguably give Hobart a stronger list than when they won their maiden Big Bash title in January. Draft picks Rehan Ahmed and Rishad Hossain provide skipper Nathan Ellis with quality international spin options, replacing local spinners Peter Hatzoglou and Paddy…
Tim Seifert became just the second Renegades player to score a BBL century as he set up a victory over the Heat Melbourne Renegades v Brisbane Heat | BBL|15 Big-hitting New Zealand star Tim Seifert has scored his first BBL century, leading the Melbourne Renegades to an impressive win over the Brisbane Heat on a chilly Geelong night.

The Pakistan one-day captain bowled two full-toss no balls above waist height in the same over. He had 0-45…
Harry Brook is prepared to “rein it in” in this week’s third Ashes Test, admitting he has been guilty of “bad” errors since arriving in Australia.Brook has failed to fire in the series so far, managing just 98 runs in four innings and gifting his wicket with some poorly judged attacking strokes. The 26-year-old started the trip as the number two batter in the ICC world rankings, but has dropped two places in as many games and needs to carry more of the weight if England are to keep their campaign alive in Adelaide. Brook, who was promoted to vice-captain…

Nathan Lyon expects his quest to topple another Australian cricket great to be challenged by an aggressive England as the recalled veteran issued a wider plea for spin not to become an afterthought in Test cricket. While one of the flag-bearers of the faltering Bazball brand today admitted it may be necessary to occasionally rein in their aggressive instincts, Lyon believes England will still come hard at him in his expected return in Adelaide as he attempts to go past Glenn McGrath’s tally of 563 Test wickets. This week’s third NRMA Insurance Test at the ground where Lyon cut his…
Players predict who will star in BBL|15 Sydney Thunder defied the odds to finish runners-up last season, so with a fit and (mostly) healthy list entering the new campaign, belief is high they can go one better in KFC BBL|15.
