How has Pope got a BBL deal? He's incredibly ordinary in this format.

Just saw Lloyd Pope's wickets. I remember a few years ago he had hair like Yahoo Serious. That must've been one tough paper round.

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.

yeah that’s my point brother, and there is one particular reason that aussie comms still use it but won’t for bethell… such is how pigheaded they are at times

Long way to go but he’s the most promising spinner in the country IMO

Bowls some crap but actually bowls stuff that can get players out

Think he’s referring to Ollie.

okay

Simple answer to that is name recognition

Bro fr you're the only one seeing through this lens. You're trying to make an issue where there isn't one

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!

It’s certainly dropped on standard since they started picking Kiwi imports. You can measure the decline form CdG’s first game as an import.

Do you see the irony of you saying this

Not since the god awful Sydney Thunder chose to sign Henry Nicholls??

 

[Chubb]

The BBL has been going downhill since Dan Smith captained the Thunder.

Hard to continue at such lofty heights.

Dan "McNuggets" Smith was when Australian cricket peaked

TJB is probably the most closeted right winger here so it says something that even he is so racist that he can't use calypso cricket to describe a white guy.

Makes you think.

Its Saturday, December 2024 and I'm watching Keaton Jennings play BBL as the highlight of my day

Dear god

 

[ataraxia]

Finn Allen using all his mighty staying power once more.

 

[Spark]

That is actually some catch given that that ball felt like it was in the air for a good two years

 

[Gnske]

Those running back catches need more love
