BBL starts today with Morgan, roy and billings on show.
Any idea how russell is still playing? thought he missed 3 doping tests
-
Doug Bollinger looks err, different
-
Botha continues to get away with chucking it, amazing he's not been called
-
Andre Russell's bat. OK...
-
How is that even legal white ball black bat = grey ball
-
MULLET BOY
-
Roy teeing off. Great contest between him and cummings!
-
That shot was gorgeous
-
Where can one watch this bun-fight?

-
When did Bollinger become a white version of Amla?
-
Channel 5 will be showing 5 games live and also have highlights rights. First game could be KP vs broad on boxing day
-
Think Dre Russ got his colours for the bat wrong!! Don't the sixers play in pink & black?
-
How is that even legal white ball black bat = grey ball
Brad Haddin said something v similar on commentary, said even with the few shots he played the ball was beginning to mark up
-
It was painted black yesterday morning, unfortunately he took sleeve off which meant it left black marks, think it would have been ok with sleeve on.
-
I thought the Thunder fielding was poor all night. Steve OKeefe was magnificent with the ball but the pace bowling from experienced guys like Mennie, Cummins and Dougy B was dreadful. Poor line and length.
-
I see Baz is off to a flyer
-
McCullum really does enjoy smashing Jordan around :D
-
Pollard on a hat trick!
-

not now, won't be able to use it again.
but the most important question is " were the hell is Mel McLaughlin?
-
Lynn is gearing up

Lynn is gearing up
Jinxed him!

Wont be the big bash without the commentators talking about who's going to be on I'm on celebrity...how boring!

You realise the best part about the BBL is that you stay for the sh1tposting in commentary form?
That catch from Pollard was great
-
This is a fun chase right now
-
That was some take by the crowd control!!
Cracking game in the making here, Heat's bowling looks as friendly as it has the last few years.
-
Slam Dunk! well on course here
-
Good to see Benny Dunk getting stuck in after a disastrous start to the season in the Matador and Shield.
-
Looks like the coloured bats wont be used anymore

-
Good to see my cricketing hero Brad Hodge today.
-
Its so weird seeing Hoggy in a Renegades shirt as well
-
If Alec Stewart doesn't resign Finch for next summers T20 Blast then he's awful at his job.
-
Daft from Finch, hit's 2 6's and holes out going for the third
-
Interesting discussion about bat size restrictions and whether they should only be in place for ODI & Tests. Ponting saying they didn't want it to become too confusing for people?
-
Love the idea that they show club cricket hero's every game - Those forgotten people in club cricket who keep clubs running etc.. Wish sky would introduce that
-
How poor has the fielding been tonight?
-
I wish cricket had more characters like Hogg, even at 45 years old he can still take it all in for a laugh
-
Unsure what the top order were doing batting so slow, even russell cant go at 17rpo
-

Didnt Sky always do some sort of awards or recognition on the final test of the summer? Someone from my old club was included one year and he went up for lunch at the Oval and there was some sort of presentation
-
Beautiful arvo in Sydney for a T20.
Tim Payne using the new single shell Masuri. I don't think you can buy them in Oz yet.
-
God I love Jason Roy
-
Broad won't like Roy smashing him for 6 :D
-
Just watching BB - Didn't realise Broad was playing? And Billings seriously riding his luck!
Ian Bell due to play soon too.
I want Billing's lotto numbers Because he has had some incredible luck in this match!!
-
@petehosk I have merged your topic with the current one
-
be good to see how johnson goes later on. Bet Bell is happy he doesn't have to face Mitch any more
-

Bell, Johnson and Willey in the same team!
Interested to see how Bell looks with the bat these days!
-
Ian Bell with the sky blue Woodworm!
-
Couple of nice boundaries - the first 4 was a gorgeous shot.
He is a pleasure to watch when he drives!! :)
-
Lovely 6 off Jordan! Not looking too shabby
-

Ricky Ponting singing the Mark Waugh /Barmy Army song to Mark Waugh while in the comm box was one of my highlughts of the year !
-

That's because if all the knocking in of the 1000 bats
-
Top edge for six, classic Mitch Marsh
-
Top edge for six, classic Mitch Marsh
To be fair the following 4 was a very nice straight drive!!
-
Oh God that fielding effort with the run out, hahahahahaha
-
Bell looked good once he got used to the wicket. Was sold down the river for the run out.
-
He may have run Bell out but he made up for it with his hitting after that!
And his bowling looks pretty decent too, and should have had an LBW too....looked plumb!
-
How much drift is he getting with is offies? They're like massive hooping inswingers
-
Turner looked great and was unlucky! And how good does Willey look!!
-
And I can't imagine how much pressure is on pollard and Hodge! They need to both be there and firing for 10 overs to stand a chance!!
-
These Strikers seem to be relying on 42yr old Brad Hodge to dig them out of a hole again. 2 times in 2 games. Their imports have been bog-ordinary with the bat and ball.
-
Like the speed in and out graphic they are using to show the bat speed and the effect it's having on the ball.
-
Today's game is live on channel 5. Shame no kp
-
Great that live cricket is free to air tv, really been enjoying the BBL on bt so far.
-
Good to have a few games on channel 5 this year. Great innings from Paine and Bailey - always thought Paine was a class act (surely should have played more for the national side).
-
Broad looking good to get back in one day squad 😭😭
-
Broad not enjoying being spanked around to much. Great start for the stars, Wright's had a couple of chances. Decent punt on the stars ;)
-
I was under the impression that Tim Paine was struggling to retain his spot in the Tasmania shield team. He is definitely a class act in short form cricket.
-
Bit of a jinx there, stars lose a wicket very next ball. Time to get the big show in
-
Maxwell has been class! His skill and ability is up there
-
Maxwell looks class! 190 strike rate without really trying! Brilliant batting!
-
Bobby's knock was really good but maxwell was effortless with his knock. Unbelievable he got dropped from the ODI side -
-
Paine out batted both of them tonight... his timing was perfect and every boundary he hit the ball went to the fence like a bullet
-
Only saw one ball of broads first two overs and Liam wright did smash him for 4.
His second two overs he bowled decent, a maxwell incide edge and 1s were all they got, granted the hussey wicket was a poor ball, but a cracking catch.
He was bowling quicker than tait according to the speed gun. (Can't say it was accurate mind)

Well done have ten internet points.
-
On a different note, why is Tim Paine not the first choice keeper for Aussie test team? He looks the part, no?
-
In short form cricket, yes. Tim Paine hasn't played 1 game of first class shield cricket this year and it seems that Jake Doran has taken his spot. I had even heard rumours before the season started the Paine might even be making an appearance in Sydney Premier cricket this season.

Are those pink GN gloves Billings is wearing generally available or are they Pro issue? @Vitas Cricket do you know?
-
Think I saw on Insta that they were specials he's had made for the. BL @iand123

Yeah i saw that but was hoping they might be normal order :(
-
Chris Lynn is boxoffice
-
At 55/5 never thought this would go down to the wire. Sydney have been poor in the field, a couple of drops that have gone for 6.
Cummings vs lynn is probably the game here
-
Oh dear the keepers just dropped lynn. Easy chance that
-
Oh jeez! How has watto dropped that! Even worse drop than the keeper
-

Not generally available to my knowledge. Mind you, these aren't generally available either, after 2 years of trying i have secured a couple of pairs for some lucky forum members, so if you really want some pink gloves let me know and i'll see what i can do.

Jake, any chance of some Black Legend Pads?!
-
Oh jeez! How has watto dropped that! Even worse drop than the keeper
I think thats the most drops I've seen in a T20 game
-
The Thunder fielding has been simply appalling in the BBL so far.
-
Poor knock from marsh, looks woefully out of form. They dropped bell down the order to accommodate a knock like that!
Klinger seems to get better and better with age. Amazing he's not played more for Australia
-
That was a great game! Right down to the last ball!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but ....i think Klinger hasn't played for oz in any format ?!?
-
Wow poor catching again in the bbl. lynn already dropped
-
Broad looking dangerous! Making the ball talk!
-
Lynn and Baz both dropped. And they're making hay now. 40 off the last 2 overs! Some entertaining batting but pretty poor bowling
-
That 6 was hugeee!! Out of the ground! The sound off lynn's bat
-
Interesting

They are the worst looking bats I have seen really not a fan off the black back etc
-
Lynn is some player
-

Not the worst looking, better than that thing Andre Russel is using
Least KP is doing his for a cause, not just to look like a tard
-
Wonder if Spartan will actually pay money to the Rhino charities for them! They're notoriously bad at paying their sponsored players!!
-
Let's hope so if that's the reason behind the rhino on kp bats

Such a shame the ECB can't do something like the big bash. 30k watching, proper family event and on free to air TV so will just keep growing. English cricket needs something like this to get the crowds in.
-
We do, it is called the Nat west blast, we just don't have grounds that hold 30k people.
Even of we did have a city franchise we still don't have the grounds that hold 30k

they can do something, they just hav'nt because it involves a gamble. The ECB is sitting on about 70 million approximately at the moment which is anyone's books is a lot of cash.
take 2 weeks out of our summer, our government to suspend Visa's for overseas players, put it on the BBC or Channel 4, and hold the matches at the major grounds starting 5 or 6pm and get all the Counties to buy into it with a profit share of the tournament. In return every single British player is available for the matches-as well as any overseas stars that want to come over.
:)

Most grounds half empty apart from finals day or the odd Friday. On Sky TV so half the country can't see it.

everyone else is right we have it wrong.
Sky will kill cricket in the long run. Giles Clarke's legacy.
cheers mate
-
The problem is the counties, any time it goes for a vote the counties vote against it. Don't see it changing any time soon. Players like Chris lynn and abD would rather go to the CPL

correct they do..... but why? because all the gamble is with them so they are risk-averse.
As I said, the ECB is sitting on Fort Knox.
it needs backing :)
-
If it's going to happen I'd back BT sport to do it, with half the games on channel 5. Didn't the IPL want to play a few games in England a few years back and the ECB blocked it. Seems like the ECB doesn't want the big names to come and play
-
Let's appreciate this huge six from Lynn earlier https://streamable.com/eg7pv

Not sure I'd want to get into bed with the IPL. The alleged corruption alone would be more than enough to put me off. The press, media and this forum would take the ECB to task a la Stanford and it would be a pr disaster. I don't blame them at all for that.

You watch someone like Chris Lynn blasting it out of the stadia and then you have to wonder why he didn't get a go in the Australian Test side. His f/c average is nearly 45, better than Ferguson, Maddinson and Cartwright.
-
Lynn doesn't even get much of a look in for the t20 side does he? Seems bizarre when you watch him play, although saying that Broad tore holes through him in his first over, should have had him caught too.
-
To use a golf analogy, I don't think lynn has the short game for the higher level, especially if he were to play outside of Australia.
-
Didn't he score big in the CPL last year?
-
I meant for Australia.
-
If we don't sort a decent t20 comp, and get it on TV we can all watch, crickets gonna be a distant memory for most
Doesn't matter if the format offends the die hard traditionalists, it's a format that fits today's society unfortunately.
-
Lynn in my opinion was way ahead of travis head in last years big bash.
Both got an opportunity for aus in the limited stuff and both looked way out of there depth.
Lynn seems to have been cast aside, where as head was given a go and has come good.
One can only presume the selectees saw a floor in Lynn that wouldn't work at the highest level(international).
Hopefully eh gets another shot and can prove me people wrong.
-
We do, it is called the Nat west blast, we just don't have grounds that hold 30k people.

We can't import their weather either, they have pretty much guaranteed sunshine in their summers. We have to keep our brollies on stand by constantly.

Tremain with what might be the worst/weirdest over in T20 history
Also the Scorchers/Thunder game is on Channel 5 now, have Titch and Carberry in the studio

This is poor from thunder and dre russ looked like a number 11 at club level wafting
-
Kid for thunder called lenton, picked straight from grade cricket to play big bash. First ball. Mitchell Johnson bouncer at 145kph!!

This is painful to watch.

Interesting game here between the Sixers and Heat
-
Good knock from Hughes.
Apart from Badree Brisbane have no bowlers. Bowling quality in general in the BBL has been poor compared with previous years

Why I think Perth might win. Seem to have the best bowling attack, particularly at home.
-
Russell's been injured for the last 4 games, surprised the medical staff are letting him play. What players do for money, can't imagine him playing injured for west indies
-
KP's still got it 60 off 37
-
Lovely Eoin
-
Morgan finishes with a 6! great chase
-
MOGGY!
-
Can you believe it!
-
we won a game
we finally won a game
-
The Aussies know how to run a T20 competition ;) :(
-
Wow. Am working from home so had this match on in the background!
The further into the innings it got, the less I was working. I ended up doing no work in the last 15 minutes as it was such an intense match!
Morgs looks in awesome form! Both KP and Morgs showed how to start an innings slowly and give yourself time to get in before accelerating their scoring!!
And an exciting finish too - best match I have seen for a while :D

Morgan with that great feeling of knowing as soon as you hit it that it's gone miles.
Wish I knew how that felt, it's been so long :(
-
he's one of those players either in form and looks a million dollars or out of form and bats like you or I
ive seen him bat live and he made it look so easy it's scary
-
Bring a tear to the eye https://streamable.com/kuk8p
Almost as good as Big Liam's last season.
He should do that more often. Instead of getting out backing away and cutting to point.
-
Chris Lynn at it again! some serious hitting even against the best bowling line up in the tournament. Amazing he's not playing for Aus!
-
It's ridiculous how easily he's hitting 6s. Two years in a row he's dominated in the BBL. He must be in the national T20 side.
-
Did any see the video where players were asked if they could change one rule what it would be? The first 5 or so we're bowlers complaining about bat size :(
-
11 6s in a knock of 98 not out! haven't seen Baz play second fiddle in too many knocks, possibly gayle. But Lynn is making a habit of it
-
Highlights will be on btsports showcase tonight at 8.
-
Chris Lynn has hit more 6's himself than most of the other teams.
-
Here you go https://streamable.com/ss8k4
-
Can you believe it!
Yep went to the game! Like the atmosphere, though a bit to loud with the music at times. Stars threw it away. Getting 16 odd runs in the last 5 overs was poor and the choice of ball at the death wasn't clever. Cutting had missed every slower ball, so why not keep bowling it? No bowl a full pace half volley instead and watch it sail into the crowd.
Went to the game tonight. Shame Hobart made a complete hash of first 6 overs with the bat, 34-5 wasn't clever. Even more disappointed with the Hobart spinners, thought they would get more out of instead of sailing into the crowd.
-
Music too loud? You are getting old Nick :D

Lol, who has woken up Cam!
I think the Adelaide crowd/ground were a bit more restrained, that said it was 103f!
-
50 up for KP...this is some batting. Continues his good form
-
Kp!!!!
-
Kp's in the runs, lovely 73.
He's had a good bbl start, and was good in the ram slam that he played, yet he was still dropped for the auction by another ipl team.
Strange to drop a guy in form that's available for the entire year.
As for maxwell his bad run co tinies, dropped from opening to accommodate rob quiney, who goes on to make his second fifty of the tournament.
Big chase on for the renegades.
-
Sunil Narine opening the batting?!
-
He did the other day too, scored 20 odd off 10-12 balls. Hits it a long way!
-
KP...whatever you may think of him, the guy is class with the bat!

You must have taken notice your batting yesterday was 4.4.4.2.2.2 you obviously needed a rest after each shot & if i hadn't made you run those 3 two's we would have lost the game

Pretty poor last over from pattinson

Pretty unforgivable giving a free hit away in the last over

For the amount of cricket pollard plays, his batting has gone backwards.
The one thing the aussies have got wrong is having the ODI series vs pak overlapping the BBL - weakens the tournament and can't imagine too many fans wanting to go to the ODI's.
Have your best international players available for the latter half of the tournament!
-
Hilfy you beauty! Thought the stars messed the chase up earlier.
Decent debut from Ish sodhi, nearly swung the game

As we all know in club cricket, if you play on a tricky deck send in somebody to mow it, often works better than trying to bat properly! I think hilfy surprised a lot of people in the ground, especially when he was 7 off 11 and in danger of playing out a maiden. Good game and decent atmosphere.
-
40K at the MCG for a domestic game of cricket and not the Melbourne Derby, on a weekday as well. BBL has really taken off. The Heat are the side to beat with their big hitting, although Lynn being selected in the Aussie ODI squad will be a loss. The Stars are usually one of the teams most affected by national call-ups, but this year Maxwell aside, they should have their squad together. KP, Wright, Quiney, D.Hussey and Handscomb is pretty decent.
-
Crowds this year have been outstanding. Generally speaking, 40k+ or a sellout is the new norm. And this is, up until recently, without test players taking part. Mostly domestic cricketers. The competition is going from strength to strength and it's bloody brilliant to see.
-
Mills flying in a few rockets this morning
-
Well that shrey took the heat at 143kph.
-
Good job that beamer was his slower one!
-
Some absolutely awful fielding combined with some dreadful umpiring

40K and the ground still looks empty lol

Hat trick from tye! Great bowling from perth. Lynn is a big miss for brisbane

40K and the ground still looks empty lol

When the top deck of the Great Southern Stand fills up, you know it's a big'un! I went last year to the Stars v Renegades game when they got 80K for that game, the MCC had only anticipated a crowd of 30-40K so half the bars and kiosks were closed. Was a nightmare to line up for a beer! Lynn is a massive loss for the Heat, and it appears McCullum might get suspended for a 2nd offence for slow over rates. Lose the 2 big guns at the top of the order and they don't look too crash hot. Perth always seem to get to the business end of the comp without having the big imports playing for them.
-
Finch is quality
-
Cameron White joining the party now as well
-
Some hitting from cooper! Can't afford to drop him twice
-
Hobart probably wishing they had Sanga in their batting line up. Can't believe he's been dropped
-
Canes deserve it for dropping Chocolate Vettori
-
I am 95% sure they won't chase it down. But they are giving it a really good go!!
What did McDermott have for breakfast!?!? :o
-
In hindsight seems a masterstroke dropping sanga for McDermott. Looks like a decent bat, not easy smacking hoggy and pattinson around
-
100 up from McDermott! what a knock!
Run rate below 12! Surely they're favourites now. About time bailey got going too
-
Some innings this from Ben McDermott
-
Finch called Pattinson the best T20 bowler in the world a couple of weeks ago...more like buffet bowler
-
Have to say it's poor captaincy from finch, he should have got narine on earlier
Great ad for kookaburra mind you: https://twitter.com/KookaburraCkt/status/819350611585925121
-
Bold call dropping Sangakarra for McDermott in the previous game, but he has repaid the faith in the two games he has had so far.
His dad must have bowles a load of overs at him in the garden...!

After an incredible knock like that...you blame the Captain of the fielding team? Seriously??
That is a worrying attitude!
Why not say that it was an amazing knock?
Or just say, That was a fantastic knock although I think the Captain should have got Narine on earlier!

Mentioned its been a great knock already. Worrying attidute when an Admin doesn't look at previous posts ;)
Just think finch got it wrong
-
38 off 19 needed!
-
2 wickets from hoggy! what a game so far. The heat should win this from here with narine having one of the last 3 overs
-

Looks like Bailey has other ideas!
-
Great over by Narine!
-
And Narine does the damage. Even with his new action he's probably still the best t20 bowler going around.
Great effort from Hobart taking it down to the last over. Over to broad
-
STUART BROAD
-
Broad!! Such poor bowling from perera but what a chase!
-
Fleming having a laugh saying this would be up there with broad's career highlights

In case you missed that post mate.

Aussies choked. Had to leave it to a Pom to save the day..
Bit like the test matches with Renshaw ;)
-
I cant believe all those byes Broad hit through third man were given as runs...
-

Some of the umpiring has been dodgy to say the least. Mccullum and Klinger smashing hooks to the keeper and not going, KP lbw the other night and Hilfy hat trick ball were plumb. Add to that watto only being given out when he started to walk and then turned around, and some work needs to be done on the umpiring front. That said, plenty of dodgy decisions in the English first class game as well!
-

LOL.
-
No wonder Perera has been booted out of the Sri Lankan team lol, absolute pie chucker.
Can't believe NZ tried to get him to switch countries play for them a few years back.

Like Pollard, teams have worked him out and just bowl half way down the wicket when he bats. His bowling has always been pies. I was talking to a strikers fan in adelaide (funny that) and a lot of them aren't happy with Pollard this year. He dropped a sitter when I was there and looked sluggish in the field at the stars game.
-
I think Pollard and Russell both looked overweight and only marginally interested this year.

Russell's probably preoccupied with wondering how long his doping ban will be.

Don't think either are bothered given they play every t20 tournament in the world. No team will turn them down and they're making a decent living from it.
Playing all of that t20 means they couldn't care less if their side wins or not
-
Golden Duck Bell, Beer not spinning either
-
fyi it's on 5 as well
-
wow Perth are 13/4, will be hard getting to 120 now
-
Kinger gone for 3, Marsh gone for 8. Bell and Bancroft both gone for nough!
Scorchers 15 for 4 with Beer bowled 3 overs and has only gone for 5 runs with 2 wickets to his name!
This could be a short match! :(
-
Shame as had the potential to be a cracker, they'd prob settle for 140 from here.
-

If they were offered 140 from here, they would take their hands off!
That was the lowest start to a BBL ever (13 for 4)
-
Kp vs bresnan. No love lost there
-
Jimmy Anderson in the studio will be willing his mate Bres on to get KP out you might think!
Fashion police please Vaughan round neck jumper and suit jacket, was never in fashion....ever
:)

Anyone else clock Carlos Brathwaite's green bat?

These coloured bats are so ugly and look plastic
-
Let's predict how the Renegades can throw tonight's game away.
-

They found a way! Losing 6 wickets for 22 runs in the last 4 overs
-
Never seen that before, bat slips out and hits the keeper in the head!
Finch has got it wrong again by not bowling narine out earlier and get the rate as high as possible
-
Looked weird because it was the handle
Finchy taking the gloves
-
renegades doing their best to throw this one away! 10 needed of 3. Not surprised pattinson wasn't trusted to bowl the last over
-
Kieron Pollard has been pathetic, doubt he will get another season.
He looks fat and completely washed up plus can't hit any bowlers bowling above 135kph.
It's a joke how they say he is one of the cleanest and biggest hitters in the world, when he's not even fit to polish Lynn's shoes in terms of six hitting ability.
He is only able to tonk medium pace and spinners.
Chris Gayle is miles better than this hack.
-

here it is for all - it is absolutely freaky - apparently they are now saying Nevill has a suspected fractured jaw!

-
Poor Neville doesn't seem to have luck these days whatsoever, been hit twice in 2 games... Miss multiple chances, can't hit a boundary, and will continue dropped from the Aussie side for the foreseeable future.
That was absolutely sickening to see, poor guy :(
-
Pollard finally comes to the party with a score. That should secure him a BBL deal for next year
-
Love it when either team from Sydney/Melbourne balls it up
-
Sodhi is tearing them a new one
-
Lovely to watch a leggy work his magic! and better yet he's a kiwi :D
-
Stunning over! Probably sums up the Thunder campaign.
-
6/11, bloody hell
-
Not sure I've ever seen such dominance with the ball in this format.
-
wow 6-11 in a t20, flight and control was unbelievable!
-
Incredible flight and spin :o
-
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1390034201027358&id=115175031846621
Heres the video if people missed it, the control to the left handers is beautiful! He must have used the googly alot too as some batsman had no clue what was coming out!
Eat your heart out Rashid, watch and learn!
-
Renegades teeing off! 100 up within 8 overs. Surely they can't mess this one up
-
Its the Renegades, never rule anything out.
Finch making a statement to the selectors
-
Renegades slowing down in the last 5, white needs to tee off too now
-
Fair to say the renegades have done it again. lost 3 quick wickets and the run rate falling
-
Not sure how james pattinson keeps getting a game, he's been shocking this season. Been smacked all over the place
-
Classic Baz here
-
50 off 18 balls. Don't think I've seen 200 being chased down so easily!
-
Has Mills left for India already?
-
Saw this on twitter and found it amusing
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2nAsN5VQAII9Zf.jpg:large)
Bat OCD about those stickers!
-
Not having bt sport I don't know how the bowling is.
But
Bmac 50 of 18 balls
Out for 64 of 40 balls. So his last 22 balls only yielded 14 runs?
Heat doing a renegades and throwing Thais way?

Baz was struggling with a bug of some sort. Was throwing up. Ross was also struggling with something
Pitch seems to slow down after the first 6 overs but pererra has bowled well for once
-
26 needed of the last 2 with narine bowling one of them. Surely renegades can't mess it up or can they?
-
Remmington has bottled it!
-
I wish the Blast had close games like this all the time, this is why the BBL is so good
-
Wow what a finish! to win by one run!! Rimmington needs a change of pants!
-
WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU RUN OFF THAT WIDE?!?!
-
Stars/Sixers on Five now, for anyone inclined
-
Wright has been so consistent
-
Wright has been so consistent
Jinxed him pal
-
That catch was a screamer from haddin! Especially as he was talking to the commentators 2 seconds earlier!!
-
What a catch from Haddin
-
KP looked in good nick......
Luke Wright has been one of the most consistent batsmen in BBL over the last few year, not just in this years shows, which is good to see! Like Vaughan said, Englishmen dominating!
-
No one here mentioning how well Lyon bowled in the closing overs which is interesting.
He may not be the best be he has a brain which when guys are trying to get after you....very handy :)

Going down to the wire here!

Unforgivable all these wides.
-
Love it when a Melbourne team balls it up
-
Not sure how the renegades didn't qualify for the semi's. They really messed that up!
Any idea if the international players are going to be available for the semi's? Bizarre if they aren't
-

Haven't Australia got themselves in a clash of the t20's with Pakistan and the test side being in India, hence why langer is coaching the t20 series? I'm assuming these are after the bbl semis and final but could be that international players are ruled out by two series let alone one
-
It's interesting how much the blast gets ridiculed for international players missing matches, and for low quality of overseas players, but it's no different really in BBL.

I'd say this years not been great for overseas. Some very random and not great(dare a day past it) signings.
But as not as many people can watch it because sky sucks and bt now have it. It's not like as many can complain.
-
0/1 after 0.1 overs
-
0/2 after 0.4 overs
This is great
-
Gillys sweat patches are doing a bit
-
It's a blow out! 3 wickets for johnson - no chance for the stars. unsure why hussey has batted so low all tournament
-
1/3 after 3 overs. This is exceptional bowling
-
The Stars are making Mitch Johnsons short and wide bowling look good.
All 3 wickets were due to poor shot selection and execution.
-
Heat need Baz to bat the full 20 to get a good score. Massive shame about lynn getting injured
-
Another absolutely shocking drop, the fielding in this tournament has been atrocious
-
Fair play to Lyon, he's bowled well so far this tournament
-
Has anyone had a worse summer than Maddinson?
-
Joe mennie had his skull fractured by a Micheal lumb drive in net practice!!
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38743021 (http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/38743021)
Hopefully joe has a speedy recovery and is back out there soon.
I except a wav of "big bats must be banned" by the unknowlegable ones.
let's hope no knee jerk reactions happen!

-
surely sixers can't throw it away here. only need 7 rpo
-
The panic is on! Haddin run out
-
Ah, bad umpiring
-
Ah, bad umpiring
very bad umpiring but what a poor shot! From an experienced cricketer
-
SUPER OVER
-
Wow! what a game! how have the sixers not won this. Great captaincy from McCullum to get back into it.
Surely Heat are favourites now
-
Mega game, and excellent hitting from Henriques. But what a dreadful over from Cutting!
Used his bouncer up first ball, so the batsman could happily plonk on the front foot, and then served up 3 hittable length balls. Bottled it massively.
-
That game reeks of FIX
It's entertainment now, I suppose.
-
Maddison fails again. Sixes 2 down early
-
And now 3
-
Haddin looking to end his career on a high. Good counterattack
-
Looks like this is a blow out. A few poor games towards the end which is a shame
-
Aye, rubbish final
-
No surprise the side with the most Englishman is cruising it ;)
-
This has become my favorite tournament to watch. Somehow find it more enjoyable than watching the IPL. The coverage is fantastic and the quality of cricket has been outstanding!
-
My team wins again! Now if only my football team could learn to do the same...
-
Gutted it's finished, love watching the BBL over Christmas and New Years.
I think it's the commentary that makes it a better watch than the IPL/Blast though, standard isn't that much better but Channel 10 have nailed the commentary (a bit like Top Gear on BBC it's not so much the format but who's presenting it) which makes the tournament a great watch
-
Agree on the BBL commentary quality which makes it for much better viewing than the IPL while competition levels may be similar..
-
For me it feels purer than the IPL. You always get the feeling theres that undercurrent of corruption in the IPL. Allegedly of course.
-
Looks like they want to increase the number of games. Not a bad idea but hopefully doesn't kill the product.
Hopefully they stop 'having odi series' overlapping the latter half of the tournament - weakens a lot of sides
-
I love the relaxed nature of the commentary, almost like blokes down the pub having a laugh.

Gutted to hear this . I can't imagine Tubby , Heals , Slats , Pup , Chappelli and co getting near the quality of banter as the ch10 lads ( could be worse though.....could include Ravi Shastri - oh , the horror ! ) . I wonder what Gilchrist and Ponting will do ( at least M.Waugh has a selectors gig still ). Perhaps this will set Punter free to pursue coaching seriously, perhaps look towards the the Oz test teams batting coach role ?
I'll also miss Morne Morkel's missus Ros as co host , perhaps she will go back to channel nine....one can only hope . ;) :D
