    2022 ICC T20 World Cup - October/November 2022

    The Netherlands chased down UAE's total with one ball to spare. UAE struggled on the deck and could muster only 8/111 but bowled very well to keep themselves in the game until the very last over as the Netherlands reached 7/112 from 19.5 overs. Tomorrow sees the first game of Group B with...

    What a win by Namibia! Sri Lanka all out for 108 with Namibia winning by 55 runs. A big upset in the scheme of things but the Namibians were very impressive in the latter part of their innings and with the ball too. A fantastic first up win for them which puts them in good stead within their...

    2022 International T20 World Cup Australia, October 16 - November 13.

    One of the issues will be at the top of the order with Finch struggling. The middle order has had its issues of late as have the bowling attack. Tim David has been a good addition though and will certainly add some strength to the middle order if he can get going.

    Finch is done at international level, you would think this tournament will be his last for Australia.

    Most of it being behind a paywall in Australia wouldn't help along with the fact that the most recent edition was last year.

    No worries. Could also classify Perth as sub-tropical given the Mediterranean climate. Perth is also one of the windiest cities in the world too and one of the most isolated.

    There's some difference. Perth has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate which is characterised by long, hot and dry summers with mild, wet winters. Summer tends to go for four months from December to March which is generally hot with little rainfall, the heat tends to be very dry and temperatures...

    Yes, we have two with a third to be built and opened in 2028. I believe they are electricity operated but there is a focus on making sure they don't use too much power. The energy used to provide water for an entire family of four over one day is the same as running an air conditioner here for...

    In the past, the majority of our water was provided by dams which serviced the city adequately for over 100 years. However, the explosion of the city's population in the last 30 years has increased demand for water and coupled with the general drying of the area due to climate change plus...
