***Official*** Big Bash League

Weird little interview with Mitch Johnson here.

Did I hear him right? Was relieved to get injured?

Top game, even with the rain. So glad I don't support the dirty Thunder.

Hooked up with Yatesy, just quietly.

You only got to first base, second tops, imo.

Yeah, there's an article about it that came out today.

Said he's relieved to get injured and get away from the game.

That **** has no ticker.

Was he shattered to miss the Australian summer?

"To be totally honest ... no," he said. "It was a bit of a relief in a way. I haven't got too down. I haven't watched much cricket at all, I just wanted to get away from it.

Meh, it's The Bash...they'll play through a monsoon

Unfortunately not. Not long home from my second straight year of rain reduced Big Bash. Oh well the kids enjoyed it for an hour or so. ****ing rain on the drive home was torrential, could barely see the road.

Nev and the Rohrer Test were good, but play of the day for mine was the Coytey beamer, yorker 1-2, a classic from the old skool.

The did the Sixers bring their own ump for the SCG end? Had a Barry and a half.

Klinger's helmet looks like half a gobstopper.

Carry on.

Yes I like the chances of CA going over to CNZ and saying "hey pick a best XI team and you can enter the BigBash".

disgraceful ****

 

[Spikey]

I do agree with Greg in that I reckon we've got the number of games about spot on.

It'd have to be a proper restructure and merger and we'd probably have to flick a couple of teams (probably looking at flicking the extra Sydney/Melbourne teams for a North Island and a South Island team; although I really doubt NZ would agree with a 6:2 split). You can't just add a NZ team when they have a perfectly viable competition running at the same time already; you'd have to combine them and compromise a lot and unless it happened right at the start it was never going to happen.

What a shot by Harris there

Would lack the numbers of good players for two decent teams tbh

 

[benchmark00]

Should have the Australian Country team in the competition.

 

[uvelocity]

would lack enough decent players with one team itbt

nz to do what it's told.

Well tbf we lack the lack the numbers of good players for eight decent teams as it is so it'd be no different there.

 

[adub]

disgraceful ****

tbf he's only agreeing with 99% of the country.
