*Official* Big Bash League 2018-19

[jimmy101]

If anything, at least the team kits are starting to look a little better. Less amounts of garish fluoro colours. I particularly like the Heat's away strip.

 

[aussie tragic]

Yeah, play each team once is enough...it's way too long

 

[slippy888]

Kinda ridiclous to have your summer of international cricket and your 20 20 home tournament on at the same time

 

[TheJediBrah]

i mean i don't hate it - although the standard this year is certainly pushing me that way - but it's seriously starting to overstay its welcome already and the final is over a month away

I'm well and truly sick of it. I don't mind it going this long if it's on every 2nd or 3rd day but every day? way too much

mostly cause I have other stuff I want to do but I can't because I have to watch the cricket

I mean, there is a way to not have that problem

 

[stephen]

Yeah I'd love to watch more bbl but it's hard to convince the wife to watch every night. I just have to stick to the occasional game here and there.

Tests are sacred though and both wide and kids have come to understand that there ain't no way daddy is getting off that couch.

Tip for you, don't call her that to her face.

I signal wife every time I see her. She's just thinks I'm inviting cuddles though.

 

[stephen]

Cancerously, nobody thought that maybe people without Foxtel might want to watch cricket tonight.

This CA deal was a million times worse for the public than it should have been.

 

[Starfighter]

You just know that 10% or so extra that they got from going with Fox is going into helping the game grow in Australia and didn't go into corporate executive bonuses at all.

Cute!

It's a pity that Channel 10 weren't able to get all the rights but I would be fine with this current deal if it wasn't for the ODIs not being on FTA. Such a dumb decision that.

 

[jimmy101]

I would have been in heaven if Tests & ODIs were on free-to-air, whilst intl T20s & BBL was on Fox. Could have pretended it was 2004 again.

That would have been even stupider

 

[jimmy101]

That would have been even stupider

In what way?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

In what way?

Because the Big Bash is massive with children.

 

[jimmy101]

Cheers for stepping in there DCYE.

In all seriousness I see what you mean, I was just talking about my own personal desires.

 

[stephen]

Weeknight bbl and international t20 could have been on fox while Fri- Sun bbl and other internationals could have been fta.

I'm the type of guy who literally only watches sport on TV. My tele hasn't been turned on since the 4th Test ended.
