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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
