Melbourne Renegades lock away Ollie Peake, announce Geelong home games
Don't miss out on the headlines from Big Bash. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ollie Peake and the Melbourne Renegades are coming back to Geelong this summer. The BBL franchise has confirmed it will open its summer with back-to-back home games at GMHBA Stadium. Games will be played on Monday, December 15 and Sunday, December 21 with local supporters hoping they will be able to see local prospect Ollie Peake in action. Peake made his debut for the Renegades last summer and scored 19 against the Brisbane Heat. He has now signed his first full-time contract with the club after joining as a replacement player last season. 'It's a really special feeling to sign my first full Big Bash contract with the Renegades,' Peake said. 'Getting the chance to debut last summer was a great experience, it gave me a taste of cricket at the top T20 level and I'm keen to get stuck in and hopefully play more games.' Renegades general manager James Rosengarten said Peake had shown maturity beyond his years to date. 'We got a glimpse of what he's capable of during his debut last season and his performances at the Under-19 World Cup and for Victoria either side of the Big Bash,' Rosengarten said. The Renegades opponents for the December games will be confirmed later this week when the fixture is officially released. It will be the eighth time the club has played in Geelong. Rosengarten said the club had worked closely with the necessary stakeholders for a balanced set of home games between GMHBA and Marvel Stadium. 'Geelong has always been a special part of our summer schedule,' Rosengarten said. 'The support from our fans in the region has grown every season, and we're excited to deliver two huge nights of entertainment and cricket for them this year. 'These won't just be games of cricket – they'll be major events. We know how much cricket fans in the Geelong region love getting behind the Gades, and these matches will play a crucial role in setting up our season.' Kardinia Park Stadium Trust chief executive Gerard Griffin welcomed the club's return. 'We're delighted to welcome the Renegades back for another summer of Big Bash at GMHBA Stadium,' Griffin said. 'The atmosphere these games bring is fantastic – they're a real highlight on the Geelong event calendar and we're looking forward to two more big nights under lights.' Last summer, the Renegades secured a thumping win over the Hobart Hurricanes by six wickets. The Gades rolled their Tasmanian opponents for just 74 before going onto win the game.

'They didn't die of the flu': Trump says Iran nuke deal 'hardliners' killed in strikes
WASHINGTON − President Donald Trump called Israel's strikes in Iran "a very successful attack" that the U.S. "obviously" supports. "We of course support Israel, obviously and supported it like nobody has ever supported it," Trump said on a brief phone call with CNN anchor Dana Bash. After Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran's nuclear sites June 13, Trump said in a post online there "is still time" for Tehran to make a deal. "There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end," Trump wrote. "Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left." Live updates: 'Before there's nothing left,' Trump pushes Iran to make nuclear deal The Trump administration has been negotiating with Iran over the country's nuclear program, with the aim of preventing Iran from having nuclear weapon capability. To Bash, Trump said Iran "should have listened." "I don't know if you know but I gave them a 60-day warning and today is day 61," the president said. 'They should now come to the table to make a deal before it's too late. It will be too late for them. You know the people I was dealing with are dead, the hardliners,' he added. The strikes killed the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the country's top two military officials, in addition to several nuclear scientists. Bash said she asked Trump if the people he 'was dealing with' died as a result of Israel's June 13 attack. 'They didn't die of the flu,' he said, sarcastically. 'They didn't die of Covid.'

Trump quips 'they didn't die of COVID' when asked if Israel killed Iranian officials
President Donald Trump joked on Friday morning about the fate of Iranian officials in the wake of Israel's recent airstrike, according to CNN's Dana Bash. After months of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, Israel attacked Iran's nuclear and missile infrastructure early Friday, taking out at least 20 senior Iranian commanders and inflicting a significant blow to Tehran's government. Two of the most prominent officials killed in the strikes were Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces. Bash spoke on Friday about her phone call with Trump, where she asked him about Secretary of State Marco Rubio's initial statement about Israel's strikes, which did not explicitly say that the U.S. supported them. Trump Believes Israel's Strike On Iran Could Improve Chances For Nuclear Deal: Report "We, of course, support Israel, obviously, and supported it like nobody has ever supported it," Trump said, according to Bash. "It was a very successful attack. Iran should have listened to me when I said - you know, I gave them, I don't know if you know, but I gave them a 60-day warning. And today is day 61." "They should now come to the table to make a deal before it's too late. It will be too late for them. You know, the people I was dealing with are dead," he added, though he wouldn't give specific names, only that the "hardliners" were dead. Read On The Fox News App "This is as a result of the attack last night?" Bash asked him. "Yeah. They didn't die of the flu. They didn't die of COVID," Bash described him saying "quite sarcastically."

"They weren't ready to negotiate. I think they may be now. We'll see," Trump said regarding the future of Iran's nuclear program. Senior U.S. officials told Fox News that a long list of nuclear scientists and military leaders were targeted by Israel's surprise airstrikes Friday. The officials added that 90% of Iran's top nuclear scientists, as well as other senior military officers and other Iranian leaders, may have been targeted in the article source: Trump quips 'they didn't die of COVID' when asked if Israel killed Iranian officials
