*Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

[Spark]

This competition gets the level of English player it deserves. I'd expect Duckett to take a SA20 gig next year.

ok

my guy the attention spans of your cricket watching public are so paper thin that T20 was too much for them

jordan has a rare trait for an englishman (likability) and so it’s no surprise he does well in the bash

Probably because he's basically W Indian who only qualified for England through his grandmother.

They should base their entertainment on something related to failing to maintain an empire, or minimising culinary palatability. Sport just isn't their thing

Yeah, it's a pile of shite, but it doesn't seem to stop the best Aussies trying to sign up for it.....unlike the Bash.

A good pro, but at 36 he's a few years past it. The better England players this year do seem to have chosen SA comp. Probably more money given the Indian links.

Good to hear that Spoors is nicknamed 'Spoory'.

There was a much stronger English contingent last year when it didn't clash with an Indian Tour.

SA20 has such better overseas players. What's with that

IL20 doesn't help either. When two big money comps run at the same time it basically means the BBL has to fight with the scraps.

 

[Starfighter]

Conceding 43 in a total this low is a fair effort.

 

[Chubb]

There are plenty of mediocre English county players who have done well in the Bash. Equally there are some future internationals who have been rubbish. For example, Ian ****bain has a better BBL record than Harry Brook.

Billings just did the standard English thing and sucked the life out of all around him

I'll be honest though - I genuinely don't care if random English county players do well. I'm never going to go to a game going "geez, I'm looking forward to seeing George Garton tonight" or "who could forget about Tom Alsop this evening?". It means nothing to me if they do competently and I'd honestly just rather give promising local kids a go instead.

 

[Molehill]

Leaving two unbowled overs from Spoors on this pitch looks questionable....

A feat that has now been surpassed by his teammate.

Well I think it’s fun.

Hell of a cameo from Tom Andrews

 

[Starfighter]

Andrews has gotten them up to a total that isn't an embarrassment, but that probably indicates there's more runs out there than the Thunder's batting let on.

 

[Spikey]

the tom andrews comeback tour rolls on

 

[Molehill]

Superb from Andrews, the walk off 6 to finish is classy.
