[TheJediBrah]

I'm sick of it already and it hasn't even started

 

[Burgey]

Finally, a thread has been posted for the strongest domestic T20 cricket league in the world.

Am heading out to the ground for the season opener, weather permitting.

 

[Burgey]

Also, can a mod please sticky this thread so it, quite appropriately, has pre-eminence on the front page of CC.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Here we go, that time of the year I always look forward to


Seeing what sort of speed various domestic pacemen are bowling at

 

[Gob]

there is no thread for Aust domestic season but for this

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Stars look formidable.
Renegades might be a dark horse.

Excited to see Fraser-McGurk

Stars look formidable.
Renegades might be a dark horse.

Stars have been the best team on paper by a distance every season

 

[Gnske]

That schedule looks horrifying. Two ****ing months of non-stop wallops and Bunnings Warehouse replays.

Once again we'll all be fatigued of this after the new years test.

 

[Starfighter]

Stars have been the best team on paper by a distance every season

And every year they disappoint. It's hilarious.

 

[TheJediBrah]

And every year they disappoint. It's hilarious.

That's what I was angling at lol

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Always brilliant to see the self described "glamour club" find new and innovative ways to fall to peices in the critical moments

 

[Gnske]

Wait who the **** is Syed Faridoun. Don't tell me they picked another nobody meme spinner from the subcontinent

 

[Spikey]

surprised foxtel doesn't demand the The Qualifier be Fox exclusive, since it's on a Saturday

 

[Shady Slim]

those fascists put the sydney smash on the 14th as exclusive to fox cricket

we march on the cricket australia building at dawn tbh

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wait who the **** is Syed Faridoun. Don't tell me they picked another nobody meme spinner from the subcontinent

Better than half the teams having a hack county cricketer that shouldn't even be good enough to make the XI

 

[Spikey]

i can't imagine these pre-Ashes matches will attract many people at all.

i can't imagine these pre-Ashes matches will attract many people at all.

I'm keen to watch this game tonight, because there definitely isn't a NZ test currently happening.
