The inconsistency around releasing players is frustrating, but it's incompetence, not conspiracy. It's like they realised too late just how popular BBL has become and how important it is to have your best players out there. I can see some scheduling changes next year.

But otherwise, it's just congrats to the Strikers, equal best most of the season, performed better in the finals. Good on 'em.

What inconsistency?
 
That the Scorchers and Canes were without Agar, Tye and Short because of international commitments, then Head gets released for his semi-final, then Head, Carey and Short for the final. It was a bit of a **** up.

Wheres the **** up? Makes perfect sense to me and seems completely fair.
 
Don't think so.it's in CA's interest to have the best players out there.Adelaide beat a very good opponent in the GF.Setup by a fantastic batting display.And there attack wasn't conseading 200 runs.

You disgrace the face of Rosa Diaz/Stephanie Beatriz

For real though, I don't see anything wrong here, just wanting the best players available to push up attendance. Why they scheduled the T20 tri series now I'll never know but I doubt this was rigged.
Ouch
 
Jake Lehmann was allowed to play every game for the Strikers during BBL 7. This is concrete evidence that Cricket Australia didn't rig the tournament for the Strikers to win the title.

Case closed.
M Waugh also helped rig it by having Sean Abbott his love child play every game and allowed to bowl at the end of the inning
 
Not going with the notion of it being rigged but it was a nice back flip from CA making Short, Head (available for semi as well) and Carey available for the final after previously staying that national duties would hold precedence over Big Bash.
 
"
Head was the only player from the 14-player Australia squad made available for the BBL semi-finals and he played a match-winning hand of 85 not out in the Strikers' thrilling final-ball victory over the Melbourne Renegades last night."

IN Tassie Lehman is know to be jealous of us , and you do not see any players in squads

You do realise that Head was made available on Friday night because he wasn't playing on Saturday, don't you?

The difference being Agar, Tye and Short were playing on Saturday night whereas Head wasn't. Then, with none of them playing until Wednesday, the batsman (not the bowlers) were released to play on Sunday. It's really not that complicated.
 
please explain, JUst what i said

Head was the only member of the Aus squad released for the semis because the Aus selectors had already decided that he wouldn't be in the Aus XI for the Saturday night game. The other players who could've been released (Short, Agar, Tye, Carey, Stanlake and Richardson) were all playing for Aus on Saturday night so weren't allowed to play on Thursday or Friday. It's pretty self-explanatory.

Except JL said the MOU signed by clubs and players stated that players couldn't play two games in a row. Anyone who played on Saturday was ineligible by CA's own rules from playing on Sunday. Also, why wasn't Stanlake allowed to play while the others were?

I explicitly stated there was no conspiracy, each semi and the final was played on equal terms. But it's inconsistent as hell.
