BBL 2017-2018

Time to watch some proper cricket after the ashes  ;)

Great competition over the festive period. Shame there aren’t many international stars this year, I’m sure some of the franchises tried to sign stokes

Roy and Billings - Sydney Sixers

And also Jofra Archer from Sussex is at Hobart which will be interesting to see.

Im tipping Archer as the next top class seamer in the england test team. Watched him a few times and was impressive. And he bats well. Not sure when he qualifies

Surprised not to see Bell back at Perth after opening the batting in a winning side last year

Hard to deny he looks a quality bowler, but doesn't qualify until 2023!

Being a Hobart local I'm hoping to see mills/archer perform exceptionally well...the list is one of the weaker in the competition and despite practice game victories against Melbourne Stars and Sydney Sixers I wouldn't say I'm confident

Other Overseas signings...

Dwayne Bravo and Mohammad Nabi - Melbourne Renegades
Colin Ingram and Rashid Khan - Adelaide
Shadab Khan and Brendon McCullum - Brisbane
Mitchell McClenaghan - Sydney Thunder

Should be a good one, always enjoy the BBL. Shame it's on BT.

I'm pleased its on BT, having cancelled sky the BBL would've been the only thing to make me reconsider.

Ingram is a good shout. Amazing he doesn’t get in the South African side

Tipping Adelaide to do well with Khan and Ingram along with an already decent experienced side and a great home venue atmosphere, is Dizzy in charge again this year.?

No gig for Rashid? Didn't he do really well last year?

Im a bit disappointed by the lack of international talent this year.

Pretty hard to get motivated watching a bunch of fringe first class players.

2 years ago he had the best season, leading wicket taker i think,last season ... not so great i think .. shame i think he is  a very good t20 bowler , but you have to make the most of your 2 overseas signings , as Adelaide strikers have lost a few key players this year

It ain’t half nice to be reminded what a close match looks and feels like.
