*Official* Big Bash League 10 2020-21

I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen Heazlett make runs. Still don’t really think he looks good though. Also do you really pronounce it ‘Hazlett’, and why?

that's former australian odi player sam heazlett to you

denying a celebrappeal is funny but that's... pretty bad

I was at that game, hence why I take a mild interest in him. A baffling selection then that only looks more baffling over time. A very early career Lockie Ferguson victim iirc

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Oh, it was hitting. What a surprise!

 

[TheJediBrah]

You know what would be a great innovation for Big Bash? After the umpire makes a decision, go with the opposite result

I'm patenting it now "Reverse Umpiring"

Yeah that’s a shocker but Ellis deserves it for that appeal

the real zenith of "we actually have no idea what we're doing in odis atm and don't care to work it out" australian mid-cycle odi selections

ok so tbf he averages 54 in List A...so why has he only played 19 games in 5 years?

Also, I remember Marcus Stoinis had a career List A strike rate of like 70 coming into that series and I couldn’t understand his selection, but he basically earned a life-long reputation as an ODI dasher based on his innings in that same game

domestic OD tournament was reduced in length around the time he came around, and I think he's missed some due to injury

arguably the most deletrious hundred scored in australian cricket in the last five years, given his output since

 

[thierry henry]

Well ****, I change the channel and I see my boy Haz/Heaz is out

He hadn't actually played for Queensland in List A cricket when he debuted for Australia. He was picked off a mix of "National Performance Squad" games against India A and South Africa A, and I think BBL form.

It's also easy to miss huge chunks of the Australian List A season given they cram it all into a couple of weeks, and they only play 5-7 games per team now.

Moreover, this season's List A comp hasn't started yet.

So for Queensland he's only played two and half seasons, all after that debut.

Feel like constantly wanting to bomb 6s square at the Gabba is low percentage. Straight hitters’ ground.

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** that was mint

Yeah this is the case for sure.

lol can the Heat really Heat this up?

 

[Spark]

okay that is legitimately nuts

So really, based on what he’s done in the relevant format since his ODI debut, you could argue it was an inspired selection

Shades of that stoinis return catch off Dhoni? I think at the wc last year?
