Top of the bill is the women’s T20 International between Australia and England, a game which is already under way in temperatures topping 40C in the nation’s capital. Also in store is two Super Rugby games, with the Sunwolves-Rebels clash to be followed by a tantalising encounter between the Crusaders and the Waratahs, while in domestic cricket Adelaide and Sydney Thunder will face off tonight with a Big Bash League final date against the Sixers awaiting the winner. Toss in some hockey, cycling, A-League, W-League and, of course, the Australian Open women’s singles final (in another liveblog) and my memo to you could not be clearer: it’s all happening. To get in touch, and I’d love you to, do so by Email or tweeting @scott_heinrich.
