How the Aussie men fared in The Hundred

Sean Abbott (Birmingham Phoenix)
M: 9 | Overs: 31 | Wkts: 11 | Ave: 18.54 | Econ: 7.89 | BBI: 4-14​
Birmingham's three-pronged antipodean pace attack, also featuring Kiwis Adam Milne and Tim Southee, fired them to a second-placed finish before their brutal elimination in a Super Over-decided knockout final against Southern Brave. Abbott was integral to the side's strong season however, snaring four-wicket hauls against London Spirit and Welsh Fire. It bodes well ahead of Australia's limited-overs tour of the UK where Abbott will feature in both the T20 and ODI squads.

Ben Dwarshuis (Northern Superchargers)
M: 2 | Overs: 8 | Wkts: 4 | BBI: 2-28 | Ave: 14.00 | Econ: 8.40

Runs: 60 | HS: 40no | SR: 206.89​
The left-arm quick was impressive in his short two-game stint for the Superchargers, snagging four wickets while bashing scores of 20no and 40no. Brought in as cover for England Test pair Ben Stokes and Harry Brook, Dwarshuis wasn't required for their final four games of the season.

Nathan Ellis (London Spirit)
M: 6 | Overs: 22 | Wkts: 5 | Ave: 34.00 | Econ: 9.27 | BBI: 3-16​
There were a few expensive outings for the Tasmanian death-bowling specialist, though Ellis was integral in the Spirit's only win of the season when he took 3-16. It was a tough tournament for the Lord's club, who finished bottom of the standings.

Chris Green (Trent Rockets)
M: 3 | Overs: 10 | Wkts: 3 | Ave: 19.33 | Econ: 6.96 | BBI: 3-14

Runs: 34 | HS: 25no | SR: 242.85​
A stellar T20 Blast stint with Lancashire saw the NSW off-spinner allrounder called into the Rockets squad as cover for Rashid Khan. He made an immediate impact by smashing an unbeaten 25 from seven balls and claiming 3-14 to earn player-of-the-match honours on Hundred debut. He returned for another two games later in the tournament but failed to add to his wicket tally as Trent lost two of their last three games to miss the playo***. Green also featured in the commentary box for BBC during The Hundred and now joins Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in the Caribbean Premier League before heading home for the Australian summer.

Daniel Hughes (Southern Brave)
M: 1 | Runs: 45 | SR: 150.00 | HS: 45​
The leading run getter in the UK county T20 competition, Hughes earnt a call-up for the Brave as a replacement player and made an immediate impression by slamming 45 off only 30 balls. His stint was short-lived as the club instead turned to Kieron Pollard, Akeal Hosein and Andre Fletcher as their overseas players.

Spencer Johnson (Oval Invincibles)
M: 6 | Overs: 21 | Wkts: 2 | Ave: 64.00 | Econ: 7.31 | BBI: 1-10​
The Brisbane Heat star returned to The Oval for a second straight campaign and while he didn't reap rewards in terms of wickets, he certainly bowled economically, conceding fewer than 30 runs in five of his six matches. Unfortunately, the left-arm speedster suffered a side strain in their match against London Spirit and has been ruled out of Australia's T20 series against England and Scotland next month.

Matt Short (Northern Superchargers)
M: 7 | Runs: 66 | Ave: 11.00 | SR: 122.22 | HS: 25no

Overs: 10 | Wkts: 2 | BBI: 1-4 | Econ: 7.68​
The Victorian's best knock of the tournament was his last, hitting an unbeaten 25 to help demolish London Spirit in their final match of the season. It wasn't enough to put his Northern Superchargers into the playo*** however as they finished fourth on net run-rate. It was an otherwise quiet Hundred campaign for the Adelaide Strikers skipper, unable to capitalise on his form in Major League Cricket a few weeks earlier. He heads back to Australia for the birth of his first child before linking up with the ODI squad in mid-September for the five-match tour of England.

Adam Zampa (Oval Invincibles)
M: 9 | Overs: 36 | Wkts: 19 | Ave: 11.57 | Econ: 7.33 | BBI: 4-17​
A sensational tournament for Australia's premier white-ball spinner, capped by 2-26 in the final to help the Invincibles to back-to-back Hundred titles. Zampa finished as the equal leading wicket-taker for the 2024 Hundred alongside Tymal Mills and heads into Australia's T20 and ODI tour of the UK next month in top form.

Samoan cricketer Darius Visser smacks record-breaking 39 runs in one over

Stuart Broad can breathe a sigh of relief.

Samoan cricketer Darius Visser has broken the men’s T20I record for most runs in an over, blasting 39 runs from six legal deliveries during the T20 World Cup Sub Regional East Asia-Pacific Qualifiers on Tuesday.

Facing Vanuatu seamer Nalin Nipiko at Apia’s Garden Oval No. 2, Visser cleared the boundary rope six times during the 15th over of the innings, which featured three no-balls.

The 28-year-old, who resides in Sydney, clobbered 132 from 62 deliveries, including 14 sixes and five boundaries, to help the Samoans defeat Vanuatu by ten runs.

Visser was responsible for 75.84 per cent of Samoa’s runs, another record in men’s T20Is — the second-highest score of the innings was 16 (21) from captain Caleb Jasmat.
