Great finish to the game. Brave really pulled it back.

Bit of a scrappy women’s final - really felt for Ishmail at the end, she had bowled so well. Good game to watch though - brilliant that it went down to the last three balls again…

57.5 Degrees of Pain
Thought I'd check out the Diet 2020 finals after getting back from work. Just missed the finale of the women's game and have switched off as the inter-game filler is so poorly put together. Is there a reason that they can't do the winner's presentation while necessary pitch maintenance is carried out and get straight on with play? Must be tedious being in the crowd.

Hooray, game is finally on.

1. The three worst 'commentators' in the game don't improve the experience.
2. The crap throwback screen graphics have not improved since I last watched.
3. The BHF Vincibles' outfits were clearly done with the same aesthetic skill as the screen graphics. The Southern Softy's outfits are a bit better but bland, and a lot of men in green running around in a green background is not a great spectacle.
4. Good thing the hitting (and a classic dropped carch) have been worth the watch.

I’ve really enjoyed watching Southern Brave (the green pyjama folk for the uninitiated/sarcastic crew) especially when we saw them play at Edgebaston - Jofra, Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan - so good. (Although Jofra’s a bit loose in this match currently… but has just got his second wicket as I typed that!)

The women’s games have, in general, been a step up again from last year and been great to watch. Over 22,000 at Lord’s for the women’s match today.

Loved every second. I particularly enjoy the player mics.

The mens final is going to be tight. This means Invincibles will cruise it ;-)

I’ve been watching on NOW @Fenners-Reborn so haven’t had the joy of players mics 😉

I’d like Brave to win - partly due to the fact I love watching Chris Jordan 😀 However, if Zampa’s on form…..

Sadly, Invincibles proved to be invincible. Fair play, they have been a class act.

The difference was Mahmood, he was sensational.

The reason why I watch on the beeb, is I hate the adverts. And have a bit of a thing for Ms Hartley!
