An 18th title for Roger Federer, a valiant effort from Rafael Nadal, five gripping sets lasting into the night... yeah, this was a good one.
Who are these young jokers (Jack Hunter, Nick Kelly) doing things in domestic cricket? The usual suspects were at it in round five of the Ford Trophy as well...
Australia are in Aotearoa without David Warner and Steve Smith, they still have a very dangerous bowling attack though ... and a leggy!
Jeet Raval didn't quite get as many runs as you wanted ... it was that kinda series for our Blackcaps huh?
Amy Satterthwaite's Hobart Hurricanes have been knocked out of the WBBL02, but we've got Sara McGlashan vs Suzie Bates in the final.

The Blackcaps won the first Test vs Bangladesh, although it's hard to celebrate a whole lot.
Thankfully Amy Satterthwaite held things down for our White Ferns in the WBBL02 during a lean two-game stretch for the kiwis. The finals are coming though and we'll definitely have some White Ferns doing their thing there.
The Ford Trophy has begun and Sean Solia did the business with a cheeky 150 for Auckland, backed up by 6-for from Lockie Ferguson. Don't forget the name Josh Clarkson either.
