Welcome to our new sports blog. We want to talk about sport for sports' mad kids like us- the latest updates, the news, what's on and who's doing what.

Let's start with cricket.....what a summer of cricket. Who could guess the Aussies would be doing so well. The most exciting  ODI match I've ever seen was Friday night when Faulkner saved the day. Faulkner hit the ball beautifully and didn't take his eyes off the prize. He made 69 runs n.o. and had N. Coulter-Nile running on the field bare foot. England were a bit unlucky, I feel a bit bad for A.Cook. Well done Australia.

Now to the 20/20...first I have to disclose that I am a Melbourne Stars fan...so you may see a bit of bias in my writing towards the Stars. Last night Melbourne Renegades played Sydney Sixes. It was very close but in the end the Sixes beat the Renegades by 2 runs. The Renegades put on a good show hitting a 6 off the last ball. Renegades were 5/149 off 20 overs, and the Sixes were 6/151 off 20 overs. There was a new player Bravo for the Renegades. He is from the West Indies and he made 38 runs. He hit some great sixes. One of the spectators dived for a catch and fell over - and he didn't get the catch!

In the other 20/20 Adelaide Strikers played Brisbane Heat, the Heat won by 32 runs. The Strikers were all out for a disappointing 97 in the nineteenth over. Heat were 7/129 from 20 overs.

Watching the ODI today - so far we are 32 overs in and England are 4/133.

Upcoming.....21st January the Melbourne Stars are playing Hobart Hurricanes - go STARS!!
