*Official* Big Bash League 2019/20

i must be getting old, after about the 8th six i was getting tired of it. i like a contest between bat and ball, but every second or third ball going to or over the fence is a bit much.

maybe i just had a bad day. now, if the hurricane's did that, well maybe i would feel different, at least a little.

I don't mind slog a thon t20 cricket. Hate it when test/ ODI cricket has a poor balance though.

I believe that the spell by Rashid Khan was the difference between the sides tonight anyway, so it's not like bowlers have no impact.

 

[Burgey]

Early days still, but I think this has been the best start to a BBL in years, if not ever. Been some good cricket played.

I suppose a home T20 WC next year would tend to focus the tiny little minds of most domestic players looking to crack the national set up.

I see that the Strikers' win has (DLS) next to it, but I don't think their score was adjusted at all - seems a bit weird?

I guess it was technically "adjusted" but the adjusted score was the same as the actual score anyway, weird as that sounds

So no worry at all, the result remained same

good win by hurricanes today.

renegades look a bit average, gleeson doesn't look up to it, and gurney's last two matches, 7-0-90-1, both need to do better.

Noted Singapore international Tim David back in the Scorchers team

i don't really get why the sixers are wearing an away jumper but it's not bad

 

[Gnske]

The state of NSW has picked up a habit of producing unwanted away jerseys.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Sixers need a new "batting against spin" coach

 

[Spikey]

surprised the zing bails dislodged

 

[NUFAN]

Such poor batting, losing a wicket to the first ball that Bird, Curran and Abbott has each bowled.

Why aren't they playing him ffs

 

[TheJediBrah]

Steyn selection is putrid. He won't be any good, and dropping Haris Rauf for him is a disgrace.

 

[Burgey]

Will Salt actually do something tonight?

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that’s some shot

 

[TheJediBrah]

Steyn v Salt should be a good contest. 2 horrendously average overseas players inexplicably playing BBL instead of much better options.

Steyn selection is putrid. He won't be any good, and dropping Haris Rauf for him is a disgrace.

didn't expect to be proven right this quickly or emphatically but can't say I'm surprised

edit: that will make him feel better at least

 

[Burgey]

Weatherald will be telling his grandkids about this over*. Great batting.

*assuming he isn’t puffing dust.

 

[Dan]

Well that was a dumb over of cricket.
