It’s like switching on an easy going sitcom before bed so you just chill. It doesn’t matter in any meaningful sense, but you have couple of giggles

The 3 England Test players have 11 runs between them in the last 24 hours. I can't think of anywhere else they'd rather be.......

Even the commentary is actually better than the usual crap.....talking about Aus Test Squad and McSweeney......
Lynn: "I've always said that you don't play your best cricket till you get dropped"
Gilly: "Yeah, good point"
Hussey: "I never got dropped"
Gilly: "Me neither"!!

They've got to stop recruiting **** English county cricketers. Most local club first graders would be better than these guys Bethell, Pope and Duckett I've seen these last 2 games

Thornton has an average of 19.7, strike rate of 13 and economy 8.7 in this format. Those stats sum up his mercurial nature quite well.

haha rubbishing Bethell after 1 game huh?
We'll see how he goes but wouldn't be at all surprised if he turns out to be a gun, or at least a player who puts egg all over your face if you ask for it.

Also, Pope showing himself to be comfortably the best keeper in this game.....and he barely ever keeps (although actually seems to be seriously good judged on the Tests too).

comms mentioned a few times yesty that bethell grew up in the windies yet never once uttered the phrase "calypso cricket" and i can't qwhite put my finger on why exactly that might be

Moooo
Because no one really says that term anymore in the Windies…it’s a term that is used mostly in places & media besides the West Indies.
Unrelated: Calypso used to be a big thing back in the day. The genres taking over now are soca, soca, and soca.
The prize for most outstanding Rwandan downhill skiier goes to...
I would absolutely say the BBL rates the highest on the unintentional comedy scale, therefore is very likely the most entertaining...unless, you know, you want to watch cricket of quality and substance.
If you want to see 16 dropped catches, a six 120m over the carpark, the same import being rolled out four summers in a row with a batting average of 8, and commentary that makes you wish Ian Healy was still a thing, then tune into the next edition of the BBL!
