Big Bash League 23/24
-
The Sydney Sixers have been quite detached from reality on this one. And yet Lisa Sthalekar, Brad Hogg, and now Mark Waugh have also read it quite badly out of the hand as well...
-
Finals start tomoorow with Brisbane hosting the Sixers in the major semi
Saturday is Perth hosting Adelaide in the minor semiBrisbane finished first and only lost once all year. But that won't mean much now as two of their top order have now left to play elsewhere. The Heat's bowling attack is awesome though, so they're still a chance.
Perth still look the best team, but that last ball loss to the Sixers now mean they have to win 3 straight knock out games.

Ypu won't see better hitting than Brown for the Heat tonight. Mooned it.
Spencer Johnson is really fucking good
-
@mariner4life broke a few records with that hit out.
Final should be a decent game.

@NTA said in Other Cricket:
@booboo because the test starts tomorrow?
But why mid week when the kids who are the target audience are off to bed, with absolutely zero hype?
Comes back to the BBL extending itself beyond school holidays.
More is not necessarily better.
Was a tight, intense comp with sell out crowds.
And now it's a forgotten extra.
Not that I care that T20 is eating itself.

Big Bash final
Mid week: WTF?
Seriously: WTF?
Big Bash is eating itself.
Anyway, Brissy Heat won. Yay. Ish.
But who cares coz no hype..
See the BBL thread is so popular I didn't even know there was one until @Duluth moved my posts ...
-

Yeh I still look forward to it. Don't watch all of every game (well not many have time for that) but would have seen most of pretty much all Heat games. Some great cricket this year.

Yep bringing Heat games to the Gold Coast stadium has worked well, normally sells out 25,000 capacity.
Always good crowds at the Gabba.
The contracts are quite tasty for the BBL I know 3 players from my club are on good money at the Heat.
And another player is at the Tassie Hurricanes on good money. -

Not as big as they used to be
-
the grumpy old man thread is somewhere else mate
-
@mariner4life I thought my last two posts were somewhat measured.
-
while they may not be "as big as they used to be" they are still bloody good.
30 games, 19 with more than 20,000, six with more than 40k
Only 5 had less than 10k, and 4 of those were in TassieA quick squiz at the crowds for say BBL 5 sees them not significantly different except for the 1 game that got 80k. The final was a couple of thousand more, but Sydney v Melbourne at the 'G will pull more than Sydney v Brisbane in Sydney
