If the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast is as good as the 2015 version, we are in for a treat. The stars of county cricket - and a bevy of quality overseas names - will light up Friday nights over the next few months, with Sky Sports first live game the clash between Essex Eagles and Surrey at Chelmsford.But before then, check out some of the best moments from our coverage in 2015, including a thrilling battle between Yorkshire and Lancashire; Andrew Flintoff bowling to A League of their Own pal Jamie Redknapp; and Alex Hales whacking six sixes in succession! Rip-roaring Roses clash Jos Buttler of Lancashire smashes the ball away to the fence against Yorkshire This Roses clash had it all. Not that the local derby at a sell-out Headingley wasn’t enough, but it was further aided by a reverse-sweep six of the first ball by Glenn Maxwell, and fine performances from some of the England stars - Gary Ballance, Joe Root and Jos Buttler - who were made available for the clash.Ballance smashed 31 from 18 with three sixes, Root hit a half-century, and had some fun with the Sky Sports commentary team. But the standout was Buttler, who showed just how devastating he can be in the shortest format with a blistering 71 from 35 balls with five fours and sixes (two fours and one six of which came in the final over) as Lancashire chased down 186 to win - Maxwell missing a run-out chance from the final ball! T20 Blast: North Group Rob Key makes his predictions Redknapp faces Freddie Jamie Redknapp cant bear to look as he dons a Surrey kit with his name on to face Freddie It wasn’t the only entertainment provided at the Roses match that night. Redknapp faced the fearsome bowling of Freddie Flintoff, and the slightly less intimidating – but ex-England international all the same – Matthew Hoggard at Headingley, too. Filmed for A League of their Own, it is fair to say Redknapp’s results were mixed, but at least the former Liverpool midfielder made it through the ordeal in one piece. T20 Blast: South Group Nasser Hussain backs Essex to shine this summer Cobbs crazy catch Josh Cobb plucks a stunning catch out of the sky in front of the boundary They say catches win matches. And although this might not exactly be true of this T20 Blast quarter-final between Northamptonshire and Sussex, as a certain knock from David Willey will later prove, this stunning effort from Josh Cobb certainly played its part in the Steelbacks success.Sussex were coasting along on a belter of a pitch at Hove, with Mahela Jayawardene hitting fifty off 30 balls and the Sharks 87-1 after nine overs. But then Cobbs stunning, sliding catch in the deep to dismiss the Sri Lankan star turned the game in their favour. Sussex managed only 65 runs from their final 10 overs and Willey did the rest… but more on that in a bit.Hales’ six succesive sixes Alex Hales sends another ball over the boundary in Nottinghamshires win over Birmingham This blistering knock from Hales set the tone and got the party started on the opening night of the 2015 T20 Blast, as he smashed six successive sixes against then holders, Birmingham Bears. His explosive exploits came in the 11th and 12th overs - with Boyd Rankin and Ateeq Javid the unfortunate bowlers. Hales struck 86 from 43 balls with five fours and eight sixes as the Nottinghamshire Outlaws made light of their 142-run target, winning with 33 balls to spare.Willey wows with hundred David Willey celebrates his century for Northamptonshire in their quarter-final win over Sussex Willey scored a sensational hundred from 40 balls in Northamptonshires quarter-final win over Sussex, with seven fours and a staggering 10 sixes. Chasing 166 to win and nicely placed at 78-1 after eight overs, it was Willeys aerial assault on Michael Yardy in the next over that all-but booked a Finals Day spot with the six balls in the scorecard reading 6-4-6-6-6-6. The England man will be hoping to make a similar impact this season, having switched Northants for Yorkshire.Catch live NatWest T20 Blast action on Friday night as Essex Eagles and Surrey meet at Chelmsford.

His pinpoint passes went for naught. The defence that helped the franchise win it all in 2008 was missing. Needing a big play in the final seconds, the best option Rondo could come up with was himself. Rondo returned from a knee injury and missed a 3-pointer that could have sent the game into overtime, sending the Los Angeles Lakers to a 107-104 victory on Friday night. "I thought he made a lot of plays down the stretch," Celtics coach Brad Stevens said after seeing his All-Star point guard in a game for the first time. "Just came up a little bit short. But I was glad he had the ball." Pau Gasol had 24 points and 13 rebounds for Los Angeles, and Kendall Marshall added 19 points and 14 assists, including a 3-pointer with 69 seconds left to give the Lakers their first lead of the second half. Ryan Kelly scored 20 points and Wesley Johnson added 11 points and 11 rebounds. "It was an incredible experience for me," said Kelly, who added a pair of free throws with 9.4 seconds remaining as the Lakers snapped a six-game losing streak. "We were sliding there a little bit. We needed it and we made the plays that made the difference." Kelly Olynyk scored a career-high 25 points for Boston. Rondo, who was limited to 20 minutes in his first game since tearing his right anterior cruciate ligament on Jan. 25, 2013, had eight points, four assists and two rebounds. The Celtics missed their last seven shots while giving up 11 points in a row -- including three straight 3-pointers. "We missed some shots in the fourth quarter, but weve got to do it defensively," said Rondo, who was announced as the team captain before the game. "I found out when you found out," he said. "It really didnt hit me at first. After I came back to the huddle, a couple of guys told me congrats on being named captain. Its definitely an honour." The Celtics led by as many as 13 points in the second quarter and still held a 97-94 advantage when Rondo, who played about five minutes each quarter, checked back in wwith 4:53 left.dddddddddddd Olynyk soon made a jumper from the top of the key and then Rondo hit Avery Bradley for a 3-pointer on the wing to extend the lead to eight points. It was 104-96 when Johnson made a 3-pointer, and then two offensive rebounds gave the Celtics three tries to score, but they came away with nothing. Jodie Meeks made a 3-pointer to make it a two-point game, and then Marshall made one to give the Lakers the lead. With Rondo bringing the ball down, the crowd rose to its feet. But the four-time All-Star back-rimmed a long shot. The Lakers were forced into a shot-clock violation, but Bradley missed a runner. Boston forced a jump ball -- and then a rejump when the tip went out of bounds -- but Johnson got it to Kelly, who was fouled. The free throws left the Celtics with a three-point deficit and less than 10 seconds. The crowd worked itself into a "Beat L.A.!" chant. Rondo dribbled the clock down and was left alone for a 3-pointer, but it missed badly, and in the scramble for the rebound the buzzer went off. "At the end we did a better job. We still have to do better," Lakers coach Mike DAntoni said. "Lets not get carried away. It is one night and lets see if we can repeat it." The longstanding rivalry between Boston and Los Angeles has lost some of its lustre with the rest of Bostons New Big Three gone and Lakers star Kobe Bryant recovering from a broken bone in his left knee. In fact, the Celtics and Lakers had never been this bad when they faced each other: According to the Elias Sports Bureau, their combined winning percentage of .354 (28-51) was the lowest ever for the longtime rivals in a head-to-head matchup (after the first five games of the season). Whats worse, the Lakers had won only one game since the weekend before Christmas, and Boston had won just two. NOTES: The Celtics signed G-F Chris Johnson to a 10-day contract. He did not play. ... The game marked the arrival of Joel Anthony, who was acquired by Boston from the Miami Heat in a three-team trade on Wednesday. He did not play. ... Bryant missed his 15th consecutive game for the Lakers with a left knee fracture. He did make the trip -- and popped in on a Boston College marketing class on Thursday night. ' ' '
