Quick sweep of stories worth flagging — each summarised in a line.
• Southern Brave maintained their unbeaten record in this year's Hundred with a comfortable win over Birmingham Phoenix by 24 runs.
• Irfan Pathan criticised the selectors for omitting Auqib Nabi. While he welcomed Saransh Jain's selection, Pathan questioned why the same principle had not been applied to Nabi and said he did not understand the selection process.
• Ricky Ponting's reputation for a win-at-all-costs approach is the source of the nickname 'Clicky Ponting'. The phrase draws on Australia's legacy of pushing cricket's limits and Ponting's own record of going too far.
