It escaped my notice until about half an hour ago, but there is a one-off T20 match in Perth tonight.
If it's "live" then I'll do some scores, otherwise feel free to chat away about the teeball...

The Australian XII: David Warner, Shane Watson, Brad Haddin (wk), Michael Clarke (capt), Cameron White, David Hussey, Steven Smith, John Hastings, Steve O'Keefe, Peter Siddle, Clint McKay, Dirk Nannes.
The above will likely be the batting order too, just depending on which bowler gets left out... I wouldn't be surprised if it is McKay.

It is on Channel 9 now.
Malinga just tried to kill Clarke with a dangerous full toss.

They aren't replaying the Australia - NZ game are they? That is basically all they have talked about on Fox Sports today.

It's AUS versus someone in red and white... I've never watched the sport in my life!

Malinga to Clarke, 1 no ball, oops! That's a chest-high full toss from Malinga, which is a scary prospect, but it was well down leg and the slower ball, which came out of the hand all wrong

AUS 0-7 (2) Clarke 3, Warner 2.
Warner's career strike rate dips below 150, as he has faced seven balls for his two singles.

Clarke snares a boundary, and at 77, this is a positively helter-skelter strike rate for him!

Warner gone after hitting the ball straight up in the air for a simple catch.

Clarke smacks Murali's first pitch for a home run. Fair hit.

Clarke hits a six according to cricinfo, and I need to know how long a rugby game goes for, so I can tell how soon I will be watching the cricket!

I think it is 80 minutes so you could be waiting a while, but my knowledge of rugby is fairly limited.
Clarke's hit went 97m apparently.

Counting UP, the clock is at 76 mins... So I will endure...
