Sydney Sixers have slumped from 92-2 to 95-6 in 8 balls, which is about as Durham-esque as it's possible to get

Meg Lanning rolling back the years in this edition of the WBBL

stand and deliver.... every ball is going to or over the boundary atm

[Durhamfootman]

she's on 131, with one over left and I wouldn't put it past her to reach 150

holed out, I presume

my fault

135 off 74 balls

something funny going on in this game. After Lanning finished hitting every ball she faced for 4 runs, Sixers were reduced to losing wickets every other ball until they went off for rain. Were they having to bat in the rain?

they'll be hoping they don't have to come out again, but I'll bet you a way is found to get the 5th over in, even if the rain stops for a couple of minutes before immediately starting again once the players come back out

when today's WBBL match was abandoned at the interval I assumed it had rained. Turns out that while the players were warming up, a ball got caught up in the roller as the groundskeeper was rolling the pitch and it was inadvertently rolled into the pitch, changing the playing conditions sufficiently for the game to be abandoned

Durham should have tried that at Headingley on the final day of the season to take the risk of an embarrassing and shockingly incompetent batting collapse out of the equation
