The Buzz

Ian Botham had to be rescued from crocodile-infested waters by his former Ashes rival Merv Hughes, after tripping over during a recent fishing trip in Australia's Northern Territory.

Botham, who turns 69 this month, reportedly got his flip-flops tangled on a rope as he boarded the boat, suffering heavy bruising to his torso in the process. Hughes, 62, was among those who helped to pull him out of the River Moyle, with reports of bull sharks also in the vicinity.

The WBBL is great fun, but it's even more fun between balls. Last year, Sophie Devine and Harmanpreet Kaur had a bit of an "argy-bargy", as Beth Mooney called it from behind the stumps, much to amusement of the commentators, umpires and well, everyone watching. The video has only surfaced now, but the entertainment is timeless.

And what are their nicknames for themselves?

Time for Indian players to switch to communicating in Tamil on the field, maybe?

An injury break? Best time to check out the opposition's bats. Marcus Harris does not waste an opportunity!

As Matthew Wade called time on his international career, his Australia team-mates had a few choice words for him, with love.

Hoppers are delicious no matter what, but Malinga elevates it with these additions.

We kinda liked it (but also didn't - the pads rubbing against each other was uncomfortable). What about you?

There are so many fantasy lists of players from past eras who could have bossed T20s, and Wasim Akram must certainly appear on several of them. We'd forgotten till we saw this video from Hampshire that Waz has actually played in the format, taking eight wickets at an economy of 6.36 in five matches in 2003.
