**Official** Big Bash 2015/16

[Redbacks]

Have other grounds around Australia been doing the extra security fence? Was a farce last night.

They didn't have it at the AO test match but did for the AC/DC concert which was just after the paris attacks.

81k is just ****ed up good for a domestic match.

Good article on cricinfo about it Cricket stretches Australian footprint | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

I really think CA have done a fantastic job in the past few years from what appeared to be worryingly low levels. I work at a school now and have definitely noticed more kids not only keen on playing cricket but walking around with cricket tshirts and caps.

I never would have imagined seeing all the girls into cricket as well.

With the success of the Day/Night test, cricket looks set for a very healthy future in Australia

Yeah its fair to say 2015/16 summer is going to be remembered as the Big Bash Summer.

Thinking a bit small here, but hopefully a short term ramification of this boon of people is an ACT team entering the comp, given CA is so intent on tapping the Canberra market.

I still wonder what it would have been like if they had a Geelong team rather than a second Melbourne mob.

Very sharp from Peirson, good stumping

That could work, just use the same fan bases as the AFL

kevin pietersen just called shane watson the great man on comms

it's like a union between the favourite cricketers of english and australian media respectively

Chris lynn bowled in the season where the heat won it. Would have to be better than some of these muppets..

 

[NUFAN]

First Christian and now Watson trolling Heat selectors.

 

[Gnske]

Floros trying to undo all the good work Bairstow and Stokes are doing for gingers in cricket.

 

[Spikey]

Vic's boy Floros with the drop

 

[Crazy Sam]

Where's our specialist fielder chris sabburg when you need him

 

[Crazy Sam]

Steketee has been ****ing awful again tonight

 

[Shady Slim]

heat need a good closer and badly

bowl heazlett or something just try something to flip the rhythm otherwise nothing's changing

 

[Gnske]

Yeah Steketee playing after getting pasted in every match so far is a bit weird.

 

[ajdude]

geez huss, i wish i could struggle and make 56 off 43.

 

[Spikey]

Start of the last over, Rohrer on strike, Russell off strike, Rohrer hits it to fine leg, they get a single.....and then take an over-throw. pretty dumb cricket

 

[Spikey]

dont care that he hit a six tbh.

 

[Spikey]

then russell runs himself out going for a suicidal second. maybe just stay on strike? no way russell doesn't smack lalor over the fence a couple of times imo

 

[Spikey]

and then they get two runs off the last three.
