*Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

[Starfighter]

Also, what's with the wide calling this season? We have wides being called when they're well inside the lines, while it seems impossible to be called for height.

Have I got this right? Brisbane Heat only have a 17 man squad but Khawaja, McSweeney and Labuschagne are on Test duty, Neser is still injured and Vidler hasn't played any cricket this season so is even fit to bowl?

Remaining 12 man squad seems crazy small, especially with Bartlett and Johnson being CA injury managed

Edit: just read Johnson is out injured until after Xmas and Munro is also injured. They've just signed Daniel Drew from SA and added Tom Whitney to the squad

Yep

Neser and Johnson will be lucky to play much part

 

[TheJediBrah]

All time bad game from mcandrew? 0(1) getting out to a full bunger and bowled his overs at 13's with no wickets.

Also dropped a sitter off Bazley when he was in single figures. Poor lad

Oh wow Daniel Drew, that's a big star

Johnson's injured again? He's barely played.

They won't play him, but I'd like to see Whitney, just to know how fast he bowls.

Vidler returned to cricket this week I believe

Vidler got smacked around in the u19s today so doubt that he’s ready

 

[Starfighter]

Mid 130s from Whitney. Am disappointed.

 

[Starfighter]

Bartlett getting the wicket with one that swings in and seams away.

What's the problem. Bartlett just got a wkt bowling 127

 

[GotSpin]

Quite a poor crowd in tbh

Tall Paul is going the distance.

 

[Chubb]

The Paul Walter bubble has burst.

Still can't understand why Fox have Hudson on the books but don't actually use him outside of BBL games.

Yeah while he doesn't have a cricketing background (it's also clear Aussie rules is more his go, though admittedly I'm letting where I've heard him far more influence me), neither does Howard. And in terms of being a pure play-by-play commentator, he's up there with Whateley as far as Australian commentators go.

Could be a rights issue? I've heard him do stuff for SEN before.

Left arm seam in t20 is just asking to be spanked.

 

[the big bambino]

It contained 2 wides but that's the best over I've seen Milne bowl.

 

[Zinzan]

Adam Milne seems to have lost 10 kph between 2014 & 2019, & another 5 since then.
