Mzansi Super League

[StephenZA]

Really not needed. First year of it's existence, has nothing to do with the now debunked T20 Global. It just a small scale local league with an attempt to get a few bigger names.

Nothing to really see here..... unless we get some bookmaking scandals out of it. Hopefully not.

Hey guys is this the thread for the 2017 Mzansi Super League or the 2018 edition

I can't tell because the thread title is unclear

It's actually going to be the thread for all Mzansi Super Leagues cause it will probably take ten years to get to 50 pages.

What were they thinking

AB just playing with us here and he will do this whole tournament I bet. 93 off 31 in the warm-up v Jozi Stars tonight. I bet he will be asked loads are you sure you made the right decision to retire.

Duanne Olivier with 3/31 for Jozi Stars. For Tschwane I think Rossouw 36 & Elgar 26 next highest scores and supposedly Eddie Leie particularly 50+ in 3 overs and Harmer were taken to the cleaners.

 

[SeamUp]

Good to see Ryan Rickelton get a 50 in the chase.

vd Dussen also.

They need 15 off the last over with Pite van Biljon and Dan Christian at the crease with Robbie Frylinck to bowl it.

Down to 6 needed off the last ball and Frylinck held his nerve.

Wait, has this league started yet?

Nope. Just warm-up games. Think it starts Friday.

Tshwane Spartans ? Not sure if these are the actual kits or training kits

Klinger in Paarl Rocks Kit

Prefer the Black with yellow trimming to the other way round for Jozi Stars

How dare the Tshwane Spartans steal our wonderful lime green......

Also weird to see a Joburg side not wearing red.

Anyone knows about the broadcasters details of MSL 2018?

Anyone knows about the broadcasters details of MSL 2018?

In SA it's been showing free-to-air on SABC, not sure about international broadcasters.

I'm not sure that even Cricket SA knows who is broadcasting overseas yet?
