2023-24 Big Bash League

So now we're at Docklands, the advertising screens are in exactly the same position as they are for the AFL, whereas at every other ground, the AFL arrangement used at those grounds apparently can't be used and they need to be four metres inside the fence.

AFL owns the stadium

 

[Chubb]

Yeah that's probably the big question mark on him (that and his completely one-paced game). But he seems to be leagues better than the rest of his cohort as far as actual talent goes, which otherwise has a slightly alarming preponderance of shotless wonders.

The other question mark is his attitude and discipline. I’ve heard some stories from grade cricket but I don’t know how much of it is either true or out of the ordinary for a teenage jock.

AFL owns the stadium

That's irrelevant.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Not on the pitch itself plus he was told not to

Having said that, the decision is rubbish as it robs the crowd of entertainment

Give him a fine and move on

Tom Curran? Entertainment?

Why is Finch still playing cricket

 

[ataraxia]

Yesssss Zampa 5* (1)

 

[Starfighter]

That's one of the worst throws I've seen in these games. No one there, but don't worry he threw it about four metres over the stumps anyway.

That's irrelevant.

Stadium owner sets lease terms e.g. boundaries

It shows there's no real issues with actually using the whole ground elsewhere.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I wonder if anyone has ever finished on 5 (1) in a professional T20 before

Boundary ropes were originally a health & safety precaution but have since morphed into something else

It’s bs but won’t change

 

[Molehill]

My posting during the draft hasn't aged particularly well.

Walter was an inspired selection, but for those who have watched The Blast and Hundred, an entirely correct one.

It's not the boundary ropes that are the problem. It's the fact they set up a whole second fence four metres inside the fence. If they don't need to here, they don't need to anywhere.

 

[Starfighter]

Did Lane (if it is him) just swear? Sounded like it.

 

[Burgey]

Curran proving himself a complete ****ing wanker, to the surprise of no one at all

 

[Molehill]

Why did the umpire give that not out? Absolutely plumb.

 

[Burgey]

Marvel has great acoustics because of the roof but even so the sound off Munro’s bat for those two sixes was fantastic.

Honestly, how isn’t that given on the park?

 

[Starfighter]

Now that's just pathetic batting.

 

[Starfighter]

So... why's Maddisnon decided to turn his arm over?

'Saying to Renshaw "if you want to bang me..."'

Great commentary this.
