Title: Big Bash
Post by: Bruce on December 12, 2011, 11:38:58 PM: Anyone know if it's to be shown in the UK?
Saw a couple games in Perth earlier this year and really got into it.

Indeed :)

Also we won't see players like Rohit Sharma opening bowling attack and taking hat-tricks haha

Also better ground, better atmosphere and better pitches too! I'm excited already!

I'm supporting Melbourne Renegades because of Pakistani Duo :D

Hopefully it goes broke and falls over and is soon followed by the resignation and suicide of the organisers.

Post by: PedalsMcgrew on December 13, 2011, 10:21:56 AM: I honestly think the IPL has had it's day. Boring games played on rubbish pitches with frankly laughable commercialisation. The one that really winds me up is the 'celebrity manager'! It's genuinely embarrassing!
