*Official* Big Bash League 10 2020-21

When he plays his slog sweep he looks like he's seriously limiting the distance the ball flies due to such crappy technique

Tymal Mills is an interesting case. In 2017 he was selected by the Royal Challengers Bangalore and was the second highest foreign player in the IPL (behind Ben Stokes). A congenital back condition restricts him to white ball cricket. He played for Sussex in 2020.

Fletcher always looks stoned af to me

Bats like it at times too

I reckon he was more of a marketing recruit than anything tbh

 

[Starfighter]

Salt's innings so far have been 8, 6, 28, 25, 51, 4, 1, 8
Fletcher's have been 12, 12 6*, 4, 18, 10, 10

Fletcher is worse on the balance of things, His two ball innings against Holder was hilarious.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah, a headline yesterday mentioned Spicemans match winning catches. Great as they were they they shouldnt stop him from being dropped as an opener but I have a feeling theyl save him

 

[Chubb]

Phil Salt's role is to go really aggressive at the top of the order, and he does that reasonably well. You can argue they could get an Aussie to do it of course.

Marketing to whom'stve though? Johnson Charles would have been a better pickup

Lol it was one decent innings from someone who usually fails, and has done so for a few seasons.

I'm guessing this means they won't have to pick that other guy though. What's his name again? Baltes? I remember when he played for NSW. He looked painfully short of FC standard and barely hit the ball off the square.

 

[TheJediBrah]

You're thinking of Nigel Bertles. Yeah he was trash.

 

[Shady Slim]

while we are reminiscing who remembers big CHOOMBI? the bloke who was basically Fat Scorchers @Kraken who you couldn’t have a scorchers game at the waca (#TheFurnace) without having the camera pan on to him

“there he is there’s big choombi!! they love their scorchers out here don’t they, gilly...”

I'm very confused so some context pls

Who remembers Dan Smith? He was captain of the Thunder in the first BBL game I ever watched. Joke batsman. Had no idea what he was doing there.

 

[Dan]

I remember that time he made 179* out of nowhere in the Ford Ranger.

Wicket-keeper, chubby fella. Wrote on his profile for channel 9 who were covering the 50 over comp at the time that his main hobby was "McNuggets". Really funny guy by all accounts.

Wasn't that his only score of 50+ in professional cricket? I just remember wondering why he of all people was the captain. But the Thunder were really bad that year.

Thunder really put Davies to X-factor so they could play alex ****ing ross lol.
