*Official* Big Bash League 10 2020-21

[Burgey]

Commentators routinely overestimate the horizontal distance from the front to the back of a grandstand when talking about ‘130 metre’ 6s

I think you should get extra distance credit calculated if your six lands top deck.

so it’s landed say 98 metres away on the second deck, but I want to know how big it would have been had it continued on its arc back to the level it was hit from.

Mark Waugh’s off Vettori at the WACA which landed on the roof of the Lillee Marsh stand a classic example

Reverse pull straight to point. High IQ stuff.

Good thing about this all-dickhead Fox commentary lineup is at least they know their rugba leeg

Fun fact. The ten biggest viewing shows on Fox in any given year are always all NRL games

Pretty sure I've seen calculations that account for that to some extent.

Good. Should be more of it.

I thought that was exactly what they do? At least they do on the NZ coverage, the graphic always shows where the ball would have landed on the ground. I reckon it’s often not as far as you’d think.

Actually I genuinely didn’t know it was ever done any other way...but this may explain why the biggest recorded 6s seem to come from NZ

Whoops!

if he used his hands to wash, rather than to comb,

 

[Starfighter]

What a contribution from Ross

 

[Burgey]

Great job from Alex Ross. Really setting the tourney alight this year

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Doesn't look like he does the latter, either.

who remembers when ncn was sub fielding in the 2013-14 ashes and had kp caught on the rope before falling over, trying to keep the ball in play by way of a backhand panther and screwing it up monumentally such that it went for six

Yessssss

 

[Starfighter]

So, when's Green getting reported again?

 

[Spark]

a classic thunder, this performance from the thunder in the field

 

[thierry henry]

Can’t believe Milne dropped his fielding standards to BBL level
