***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2010/11

[NUFAN]

FMD, they should've sent an SOS to hayden or symonds to come play instead of some bloody pom who can't even make their pathetic limited overs sides.

I agree. Or at least give a youngster like Floros a game. I wonder how many imports will be allowed next year in the 8 team comp? I hope it stays as 2 max.

Edit: As does Cummins. Serious heat at 17. Hope his action holds up to injury.

Cummins is the find of this summer AFAIC, the kid bowls at great pace and its just refreshing to see an upcoming Aussie quick with so many variations, as you said I hope he stays injury free as he certainly has a great career ahead.

I read somewhere that CA wanted a structure similar to the IPL, so won't be surprised if the number of imports goes up. They need to make money out of this event and that means attracting as many eyeballs as possible, and bringing in more international imports is a sure-shot way of doing that.
Also... I agree young blokes like Floros and Boyce should have come into mix, but still think Bulls batting line-up was way too fragile to have any impact in a tournament like the Big Bash.

As long as Australia don't sign hacks like Mahmood and Lumb for the sake for it (ftr all of NSW's lineup are actually Australian), I couldn't care less about overseas imports.

Henriques tbh


we had Dilshan signed up btw. but the Sri Lankan Cricket Board were all like "no way dawg. NO WAY. YOU STAY HERE" so yeah. And Dwayne Smith last summer was a bit of a dud.

Did give us this video though so in the end he was a success.

How is the new Big Bash working? Are all the teams going to start fresh like they did in the IPL or are NSW and Victoria basically just spiting their players between their 2 extra teams?

 

[brockley]

I gather many of the players for the 2nd sydney and melbourne sides will come from sydney and melbourne grade,nsw and vic future cup sides and from the canberra comets.

Caught a bit of the game on TV last night, and I must say that Jesus Christ man Phil Hughes looks out of sorts. There's something seriously wrong there on all sorts of levels.

Anyway, I'm loathe to wrap the Blues, but geez they can pull some young talent out of their arse, can't they. They're really the engine room of Australian cricket at present.

Oh that's good, last thing I want to see is some IPL like bidding war.
From what I gather the internationals will be playing so NSW and Victoria will have a lot of spare youngsters to move into those 2 new teams.

My impression was that each team will get four players of its choice from its own state to build their team around.

So the two Sydney and Melbourne franchises will take it in turns in selecting those players from their own state.

South Australia are getting the best out of their imports. Rashid is only behind Lyons on the wicket-taking list.

Does anyone know how much an international player gets for their stint?

Just heard some story on the radio saying Dave Warner has been suspended, by whom and for what I don't know. Anyone heard?

It might be in reference to this.

That would be very interesting to see who they would select! Just for fun I'll pick my 4 players who I would try and build a team around. Of course the 2 NSW and 2 VIC teams are tough to work out and imports and Aussie reps might not be available again I guess..

Hmm.. Dunk I guess - Lynn or Simpson perhaps.

Gayle on fire.

Gayle on fire.

Brilliant to watch, especially when considering the previous scores at the GABBA this Big Bash.

If we can get at Hogan, we are a chance, but I think he's an excellent bowler, so that will be a hard task.

Lumb better do something tonight..

 

[Spikey]

Sajid Mahmood v Michael Lumb. The battle to end all battles.
