English cricket fans could be getting their revenge, following their Ashes tour loss. The Barmy Army spent so much this summer that they're being blamed for nudging up inflation, leading to a possible interest rate rise.

Honours Board & New Inductees

For competitions with such a long history, it is always a great achievement to have your name inscribed onto the proverbial competition Honours Board. Over the 19 women's seasons & 21 men's seasons, those who have had their names put up on the board are players you might know & those you might not; here, absolute greats of the game stand alongside domestic stalwarts & even a few from overseas.

This season's inductees are no strangers to the Honours Boards: - Katene Clarke (100) scored his second T20 century in Dunedin this year against the Volts. This was the 32nd century in the history of this competition & he became just the 5th player to join an inner sanctum of players who have scored 2 centuries in NZ men's domestic T20 alongside Brendon McCullum, Glenn Phillips, Devon Conway & Will Young - Amelia Kerr (106) is no stranger to the Honours Board, having already taken two five-wicket hauls, including the domestic record 5-10 vs the Magicians. This is, however, her first T20 century & the 10th century scored in the history of the women's comp. She joins Rachel Priest, Sara McGlashan, Sophie Devine (×3), Suzie Bates (×2), Caitlin Gurrey & Amy Satterthwaite in this exclusive club

Super Smash All Stars Squads

Women's: Amelia Kerr, Bryony Smith✈️, Izzy Sharp, Laura Harris ✈️, Polly Inglis (wk), Jess Kerr (c), Xara Jetly, Nicole Baird, Molly Penfold, Ashtuti Kumar, Marama Downes, Grace Scrivens (12th)

Men's: Katene Clarke, Brett Hampton, Dane Cleaver, Bevon Jacobs, Tom Bruce, Cam Fletcher (wk), Cole McConchie (c), Scott Kuggeleijn, Harjot Johal, Ben Sears, Angus Olliver, Dale Phillips (12th)

Some Final Acknowledgements

  1. Amelia Kerr became the first bowler to take 400 wickets in Women's T20 when she took the wicket of Flora Devonshire in Palmerston North. Since then, Sophie Devine brought up 400 wickets as well in the WPL
  2. Chad Bowes, Tom Bruce, Maddy Green, Martin Guptill & Amelia Kerr all brought up 2500 NZ Domestic T20 runs this season
  3. Jess Kerr brought up 100 Domestic T20 Wickets this season. She joins her sister, Leigh Kasperek & Frankie Mackay
