*Official* Big Bash League 12 - 2022/23

[Zinzan]

The Stars, staring down the barrel of a massive win to boost their NRR and give themselves a (very) outside chance of playing finals, decide to go a run a ball for four overs to minimise their own chances of achieving anything.

Agree those strike rates from Cartwright & Rogers of 113 & 114 are poor when an easy victory is in sight & you need to improve NRR.

On a wider point about domestic T20 comps, there needs to be more cooperation between boards when scheduling them.

I've enjoyed the BBL this year but it's pissed me right off that some players have jumped ship to the SA20 halfway through.

Having 2 high profile tournaments at the same time helps neither comp.

Someone tell me how fast Morris is bowling please

and not to mention this uae league

 

[ataraxia]

and the Super Smash (two more T20 leagues sprouting up in the NZ summer holidays really kills any chance for NZC to earn #money from a franchise league btw – two-test series fuhever!)

cricbuzz has some speeds on commentary. I’ve seen 145, 142, 142, 141 and 139ks recorded against Morris.

Underwhelming

Marnus definitely and maybe Renshaw. But Khawaja would be one of the best bats in the Big Bash. He's a gun T20 player, do you not remember his work for the Thunder?

Uzzie is a fine player but he’s not a top guy in T20s as the game has changed

Career s/r in 130s doesn’t cut it

the most inept franchise in the country

Heat, Suns and Titans would like a word

SA is affiliated with IPL and UAE has many IPL owners

India would be happy to kill off the BBL

Wow Cam Bancroft just made a joke on air that he's an "honest cricketer"

At least I assume it was a joke

 

[the big bambino]

Underwhelming

Hmm, I think it’s pretty good. He’s hitting speeds that would be the best for someone like Richardson for example. Hasn’t bowled for a while. Probably at the lower end of his range.

BJ mentioned on air that he was watching Alyssa Healy put her jeans on, bit weird

 

[Burgey]

Eskiperrotet batting very well here

 

[TheJediBrah]

Green will need to rest his elbow after tonight. Been especially dire

 

[Magrat Garlick]

can't even spell Ashkenazi anymore what's the world come to

She's already married to a big, strapping left arm quick tbh. Doesn't need BJ

 

[Nintendo]

Oliver Davies quietly putting together a gun season at 4. Reckon he'll be in both national white ball teams in 2 years.

Yeah! How good is he? Genuine question

What's most promising is he seems to stand up and deliver regularly even while everyone else is failing around him. I know Burgey's got big wraps on the young man

 

[the big bambino]

Best thing about Davies is he’s delivered against the scorchers attack which is international class.
