#OnTheUp: Lee's parrot to McGrath's pigeon?

Years after retirement, Australia pace star Brett Lee suggested he still is a man of many secrets. Participating in a show in Australia, he made the most of another opportunity to show off his musical talents – while hidden in costume. For someone who's walked in the footsteps of the 'Pigeon', but we can understand the inspiration!

Dale Steyn showed everyone what it meant to really seize the moment.

The boys from England, though, settled for a more sedate – albeit no less exciting – weekend.

England announced their squad for the tour of New Zealand, and there were plenty of surprises. Warwickshire, for one, had their wish granted.

Essex too had plenty to celebrate, having claimed the T20 Blast trophy. Although Adam Zampa missed the big day, having had to return to Australia earlier, his team-mates made sure to keep his FOMO at bay and make him part of the celebration.

Author Jeffrey Archer and actor John Cleese, both legends in their fields, however, might be denied their much-awaited chance to celebrate. Somerset's hopes of lifting the County Championship don't look promising.

Elsewhere, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya dug out some gems from the archives.

Australia's cricketers introduced us to their dogs. Maybe some tips in there for Jimmy Neesham?
