The awkwardness at answering these questions while being totally comfortable with each other - that was our favourite part.
How can you not love these two!

After bowler Beau Webster was named in the Australian XI for the New Year's Test against India, his parents, based in Tasmania, scrambled to get to Sydney to watch their son play for the country. As reported by news.com.au, a friend of Webster's parents put up a post on a local Facebook page asking for a housesitter for a family with two dogs. The post read:
"Unlikely but is anyone available for some house sitting starting tonight, for 4-5 nights?" Until at least Tuesday next week, possible a few more days after that. Would be looking after 2 dogs based in Mount Nelson. A friend's son has been selected for the Australian cricket side!! So she's off to Sydney at very short notice."
Hope the dogs are getting watched while Webster and his family enjoy their time at the SCG.

In the Adelaide Strikes vs Perth Scorchers BBL game in Adelaide, a duck waddled on to the outfield and generously offered some fertiliser for the soil. The commentators, Kerry O'Keefe, Isa Guha and Mark Howard, who watched it on close-up camera, were in splits. You can say they couldn't... hold it in.

Revealed: the secret to Sunil Gavaskar's impeccable footwork - it's all in the bhangra beat. The commentary box got a lesson is the basics of bhangra from Sunil Gavaskar, though it may be easier to learn to bat with those instructions.
"Whenever the bhangra music is on, the bhangra beat is on, then it's very difficult to stay still."

As he explains, dancing is all in the footwork for Indian cricket legend, Sunil Gavaskar!
