Big Bash League 2014/15

[Antihippy]

It's a sad day when t20 pitches are spicier than test pitches.

 

[Antihippy]

That is just bizarre.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Jesus christ, plumb lbw and dropped catch.

 

[Dan]

Pietersen sledging Forkers Faulkner on live TV is brilliant.

Please sign KP up to a full-time commentary gig. WAFG.

Shane Warne @ShaneWarne
.@KP24 What's Andy Flower doing now. Why did we never hear from him when he resigned/sacked ? Is he the equivalent to John Buchanan ?#BBL04

i

oh my god he tweeted it again

 

[Spark]

dear god no

kp forever spikey never

 

[Dan]

dear god no

BBL only. Not for 9. I would not want to imagine the pain of Pietersen + Warne + Brayshaw + Slater, nor wish it upon my worst enemy (i.e. Hurricane).

 

[Dan]

dw its the Postman and Shakib in here. What a combo for a crisis -- the one who always delivers, and the one used to everyone else ****ing up simple chases.

 

[Dan]

this is ridiculous batting

 

[Crazy Sam]

I don't think I've ever disliked watching a bowler more than I do Cutting in T20's.

 

[Prince EWS]

Why would you have bowled Cutting in this situation?

The Heat are really stuck in an awkward place with him. Can't drop him because he's one of their best batsman, but strangely can't ever admit he's a terrible bowler once he's selected. The West Indies had a similar problem with Andre Russell for a while but they eventually learnt to stop bowling him.

 

[Dan]

Yeah, he's a genuine #6 batsman in T20, but should be bowling 1 over per game max, and even then only if a specialist is getting tonked really badly.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, the best TV of the night was Ponting quizzing KP. Said earlier in the series he wanted to ask a few questions, did it well.

Etihad not seen any sun since Friday according to Hoges. Might explain the wicket a bit.

 

[dermo]

hope they bring back freddie next year for a full time commentary gig

 

[dermo]

and i dont doubt they will ftr, who ever the **** is in charge of the big bash at 10 knows what he's doing, should run the whole channel really because everything else besides the big bash is ****

**** at 10>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>bbuzzmc

 

[Riggins]

Does anyone know who actually is in charge?

 

[Spark]

i haven't seen any of the pre/post-match or break coverage, but more than anything what stands out is that ten are absolutely committed to covering a game of cricket as a game of cricket, without adding any gimmicky bull**** that use to infest t20 coverage (at a minimum). it's worked wonders for the quality of the broadcast imo.

Some **** at Ten

every game in the break they either interview some v8 driver **** which is always **** but pretty rare, or they ask one of the commentators questions from twitter which is always decent. the best part though, which is real testament to their coverage, is when they talk to boof and discuss that days play in the test which like i think someone has already brought up is really them discussing/promoting a rival channels product but they do it anyway to because they target cricket fans. its pretty impressive really, especially considering how **** the rest of the channel is going.
