Big Bash 22/23

The BBL has been pretty good this season

Adelaide just runs down 230 to beat Hobart. Great chase

[mariner4life]

this really is outrageous

cricketers are so skilled now. T20 batting is ridiculous, and the variations that bowlers have developed to counter are far and away above what the greats of even 20 years ago would pull off.

Great catching display from a miked up Cam Bancroft tonite. And a maiden from A J Tye in the power surge. Great skills tonite.

I haven't watched much of this season. How are the kiwi players going? I saw part of Guptill's innings on the weekend, he's still struggling for his timing

[ARHS]

@Duluth Colin Munro going well. CDG Boult and Guptill pretty average.

Park Cricket Colin is going okay. Nothing big but he's playing a decent role in the middle.

David Warner was surprisingly good in the commentary box tonite in a one sided match. And AJ Tye was very amusing in the post match interviews for mom. Great to see the player personalities coming through and insightful stories from within the camps.

I wish we could replicate this stuff in NZ cricket and rugby. I am sure there are lots of players who could shine and promote the game and its personalities and drag in more fans.

Good little prelim final last night

A tricky, sticky little low slow wicket in Sydney allowed the Heat to strangle the Sixers to 116/9

Which, with their pretty average batting lineup, was still a tough chase. And it took Michael Neser score nearly a quarter of the runs in the game to get them home

So the Heat have gone from basically the bottom at the near half way mark, to making the Final

Where Perth will most probably destroy them

Is Bazley the worst player in the comp?

Can't buy a run. Can't bowl.

Amazing finish. Well done Scorchers. So deserved. Great stuff Ashton Cooper and Nick Hobson
