[Molehill]

Love the fact that despite being rock bottom with one game to play, the Renegades could still win it!!

Not after Heat beat Hurricanes tomorrow

absolute joke of a game. poor from all sides including the umpire, with shades of big hitting.

 

[Spikey]

apologise to the sydney sixers captain. they won in a last over thriller.

Isn’t that exactly what you expect from this comp? A shame I missed it today, sounds like it had everything.

No coincidence the excitement and entertainment levels have gone through the roof since a lot of the Pommy imports have left

And left spots to be filled by some real comedy performers…

Bethell, Pope and Overton all badly let down by their Aussie colleagues last 2 days.

Now now boys, as a reasonably objective observer (apart from Viscount Munro and the guy from Perth) all your countrymen have been equally hilariously shithouse in this competition, which appears to me as if Ricky Gervais has dipped his toes into a cricketing spinoff of the Office.

CUE THE MUSIC

Seriously, this competition (if you want to call it that) is the equivalent of the lady who won Miss Heidelberg in 1960, and still presents at bars thinking she's the hottest one in the room, caked with makeup that was fired on with a paintball gun and causing the rest of the patrons to recoil in horror at her mini skirt that reveals how long it's been since her glory days.

There's only so long you can wheel out Ashley Ross' less famous son and Jono Wells, and pretend you're a bonafide league.

Went to bed before the end but slightly surprised to see the Strikers lost. Lachlan Shaw could have been MoM for his fielding effort.

See, I just dunno if any NZ supporter is really in a position to talk down anything in relation to the Australian game, except for the standard of our test team in 1985/86.

He batted very well too.

Huge game today. If the Heat beat the Hurricanes then Strikers, Scorchers and Renegades are out of the finals

Yeah given the super smash struggles for players as is and the big name domestic players like Conway and Allen would rather play in the SA20 and BBL (lol) respectively NZ fans commenting on the BBL feels like a glass house moment.

Edwards, Sutherland, Hardie in Australia A squad for Sydney four-dayer against England Lions - Edwards to captain.

Edwards is potential Test and captaincy material- only 24 years old. he featured in the BBL game last night with 2 wickets in a contributing to the win- effort. He has 62 FC wickets @ 27 and 1580 runs @ 28, with 2 hundreds.

Look we all have fun taking the p1ss out of the bbl but this isn’t true. The fielding from the Sixers last night was incredible. The competition suffers (properly too) as it’s subservient to the test team. The difficulty in getting Indian players also means settling for players of less quality. But it also allows younger and peripheral players an opportunity. It’s a good comp that I enjoy watching and reading the banter on here. Overall is a good standard - or at least acceptable.

It's just SteveNZ, who has a massive chip on his shoulder when it comes to anything Australia.
