Laura Harris signs with the Thunder

The Heat just keep losing players.
it’s crazy. I can’t recall any other clubs who lose players as consistently as the Heat but still remain competitive

Tim Southee is playing his last test. Boy that feels an end of an era.

My Test Team of the year.

Jaiswal- 15 Tests, 1478 runs.
Duckett-17 Tests, 1149 runs.
Root-17 Tests, 1556 runs.
Mendis-9 Tests, 1049 runs.
Brook-12 Tests, 1100 runs.
Ravindra-12 Tests, 984 runs.
Carey- 46 dismissals 440 runs.
Henry-48 wickets
Bumrah-71 wickets
Hazlewood 35 wickets
Joseph-29 wickets

No spinner, Santner took apart England and India which I admire but Joseph's effort in Brisbane gets him there.

Found this on Reddit so unsure of how accurate it is, but apparently the below is the 2026-27 WTC schedule for Australia... not looking like it will be an easy transition for the next guys coming through.

- September/October ‘26 - SA 3 tests Away
- December/January ‘26, ‘27 - NZ 4 tests Home
- January/February ‘27 - India 5 tests Away
- March ‘27 - Bangladesh 2 tests Home
- March ‘27 - England 1 test Home
- June/July ‘27 - England 5 tests Away
