Title: BBL 19/20
Post by: alexhilly1492 on December 17, 2019, 09:25:40 AM
Next edition of the BBL has started this morning with Sydney THunder vs Brisbane Heat

2 Englishmen involved Alex Hales for thunder and Tom Banton for Heat

Hales out cheaply already

It's broadcast on Bt Sport over here. Great thing about BT is that they don't broadcast England matches, so you can just watch other teams playing (Aus, NZ, Pak, IPL, BBL...) without worrying about England batting collapses...

Is the BBL going to go on for about 9 months again this time, or have they changed the format again?

I imagine they cant really have it overlap the IPL as a lot of the players will be off there for the money!

Oooh, Hales is using DSC. didn’t realise he had left GN. They’re really throwing some money at sponsorship at the moment.

They've picked up quite a few players in the Thunder side

Just clocked that, they're nice looking bats to be honest. I like the look of their duffle bag but it's the ridiculous names attached that put me off them (See also SM cricket). Imagine turning up to nets with INTENSE RAVE across the top of your bag....

Asian cricket (or any sporting goods) manufacturers don’t exactly have a reputation for subtle or sensible names.

Intense Rave... perhaps you could turn up with some speakers inside it, playing said genre of music and carrying glow sticks.

I actually think that's the fun thing about the Indian /Pakistan makers: the design is completely over the top, bright colours, big words etc.! My favourites are still the BDM logos which are stamped and burned onto the bats : lightning flashes and big lettering. It's not subtle, but it's the opposite of the UK custom bat makers.

I'll save that one for the tour!!

And some of the SS Sunridge bat stickers are pretty unsubtle at the moment with a huge SUNRIDGE label down the length of the back. There must be a copyright issue there with Surridge?

Do they even care about copyright? still knocking out the SS logo. I actually quite like the Retro stickers that Sunridge and BAS are doing, was very tempted to get one from OLS.

Glenn Maxwell has just had a great knock for the Stars, 83 of 39.

Think I put the jinx on him! was just about to post how well he was batting!

Game stopped due to poor air quality. Haven’t seen that too often

Banton not playing for the heat tonight as he is sick.  Shame, because I've been really impressed with his first two games.  He seems to have a knack for finding the middle of his bat.
Chris Lynn on fire tonight with 94 from 35  :o   made up for Banton, as the Heat were never challenged after posting 209.

Phil Salt has had a slow start to BBL09, but hit his straps last night with 54 from 26.

His fielding has been exceptional, taking a lot of great catches in the deep, had a direct hit runout last night, and I just love the way he attacks the ball in the field :)  Coaches dream!  Seems like a fun guy too, as they've had him mic'd up in the field a couple times.

Interested to see how Salt goes for the rest of the BBL. It's a bit of a fantasy pick but I'd love to see him and Banton opening for England in T20s before too long.

UK branded bats are TON for that reason.

Do Sareen Sports care about copyright? Payntr probably don't think so :/

What's the story with Payntr?

I would assume sunridges (SS) have released a shoe that it basically the same as payntr but just guessing from context
Title: Re: BBL 19/20

I'd assumed something like that but I don't think I've seen them produce any shoes?

Speaking of banton. Whack sports in Brisbane had them on there instagram story and he was posing with all dsc eureka gear. Maybe his left adidas?

The way he's batting, wouldn't be surprised if someone made Banton a better offer.

Quality of the BBL last two years has been poor - hardly any international stars.
Think AB is due soon but none of the windies players have been selected

The Windies players opted to play in Bangladesh instead

Anyone watching the final?

James Vince just scored 2 from 8 balls, then spliced a pull to mid-on.

Final being played in a half empty stadium. Pretty much sums up how poor BBL has been last couple of seasons.

He's got a BBL winners medal now though.
That will look nice next to his world cup one  :D
