**Official** Big Bash 2015/16

[Nate]

So no-one's gonna talk about Alex Ross? Thought it was a sublime effort on debut.

 

[91Jmay]

^ Yeah he was great, really changed momentum of the game and let Hodge knock it around a bit.

So no-one's gonna talk about Alex Ross? Thought it was a sublime effort on debut.

I'll talk about since I had him to be Adelaide's highest scorer at $11 last night. He really is becoming a very sound domestic player, good to see.

The fielding has been horrible to start the season. I think it will improve but teams are picking heaps of T20 specialists who haven't played any first class matches this year, so it probably isn't as easy having the same intensity.

I also have to mention Richardson and Laughlin. These two are going to be very tricky to bop over long off for 6 at the death. I hope Stanlake comes in for Neser next game.

Is Tim Ludeman the worst wicket keeper in Australian domestic cricket?

 

[NUFAN]

Is Tim Ludeman the worst wicket keeper in Australian domestic cricket?

If judging keepers purely on their last game, yes. Overall though he definitely isn't the worst at keeping. He generally performs well in T20 too. At least when he drops a catch he doesn't claim it. I like Handscomb though, honest mistake. I really think that the game is at the professional stage where 1 DRS per innings should be allowed.

[nevermind]

BBL killing the ratings so far this year, 1.25mil and 1.27mil for game 1 and 2 respectively. Up 30+% on last year.

Wow.

 

[Jono]

Man that intro is just great. The production value is brilliant on Channel 10.

Love the Bash

 

[Spikey]

must be going crazy: this heat team doesn't look too bad

 

[NUFAN]

Midwinter frothing at the opportunity to see Fekete and Steketee bowl in tandem.

My Tremain highest wicket taker, Wade leading run scorer for the Gades has started decently. I legit have never heard of Guy Walker.

 

[Spikey]

seems like nufan told Tremain about the bet

 

[NUFAN]

Lynn is so good to watch. He has to play for Australia in the T20 World Cup.

 

[Jono]

That Herald Sun article by Gayle sounds woeful

 

[Gnske]

Lynn is so good to watch. He has to play for Australia in the T20 World Cup.

Worth a debut in the India ODI series that no one is going to remember coming up. Good chance to experiment with some players for the next 50 Over 'World' Cup.

 

[Gnske]

This is going to be the Season of the Drop isn't it?

 

[Jono]

fielding has been such a joke for much of this tournament to date

 

[Spikey]

Finch with a worse drop than Lumb

 

[Jono]

love Cutting with the bat, so clean

 

[Hurricane]

Gayle out.

 

[Spikey]

really enjoying Howie here, putting Flem under pressure here. Good responses from Flem too

(in regards to why the Stars axed White, whose is involved in making these decisions etc)
