I said I liked the tri series. I dont know how that gives me rose coloured glasses…People have some serious rose-coloured glasses about that. No-one turned up to the non-Australia matches. I know folks in Perth used to get pissy about always being forced to have one in the measly two fixtures we received.
The other side is teams aren't keen on hanging round for a summer to be a third wheel in an ODI comp. It'd be very hard to fixture in our current heavily scheduled environment.

more money?Make the comp 4ish weeks and this will happen.
Does anyone have an idea of what a Finch, Khan type would be bringing in for the tournament?

I feel like international T20s could never be taken seriously after that first T20 we played against NZ all those years ago, with the wigs etc, was pretty much a pisstake - then it became a legit format, and it took Australia years to actually take it seriously. The gimmicky stuff around T20 is a turn off for me, but it's clearly heavily aimed at an audience that is definitely not me, but probably turns serious fans off the league.
I agree it needs a rebrand and get rid of some of the novelty crap, the goal should be to increase the standard of the product itself, and perhaps people will take it more seriously and start attending matches again.
it is interesting that the test players cant play in this because they are busy with internatonals.
haze, cummins, starc when was the last time they played in the league. they are automatic choices for the international t20 matches based on....?
Mitch Starc hasn't played in the IPL since 2016, and hasn't played in the BBL since 2015. No other franchise cricket has been played, yet he continuously gets selected in the T20 squadsIPL, they always manage to find time to play IPL.

Cummins hasn't played BBL since 2019. And Hazlewood took a break from T20 cricket from 2014 to 2020.
I don't think any of them justify their selection in the T20 WC squad
But what does this say to the bowlers who are trying their best in the BBL? It's okay, we will let you play shits and gigs in Bangers, and then you'll be replaced by three men that haven't played domestic T20 cricket for the World Cup. That is piss poor by CA and BBLthey prob picked cause theyre the best test bowlers, parlay into F50.

Wait, are you criticising the selection of bowlers who just won the World Cup? Including one who took the second-most wickets of any fast bowler, and made the team of the tournament?Mitch Starc hasn't played in the IPL since 2016, and hasn't played in the BBL since 2015.

They tried to replicate the Warner transition as much as possible, and then them giving Maxy Test selection and expecting him to anchor ODI games.i do not disagree.
it took a whole for australia to get with the concept that test players arent necessarily the best F50 ones.
Perhaps this is history repeating.
I'm not saying that is wasn't a bad selection, it worked (somehow). However if you are picking people on form and domestic T20 performance, those three bowlers should not have been picked. It also goes to show that no matter how well these BBL players perform, they will never go anywhere beyond the BBLWait, are you criticising the selection of bowlers who just won the World Cup?

We all love to bag selectors but I think they got this one right
They should do back to back games too every now and again (a team plays 2 games in 2 nights), can't really think of any reason that they don't do that.

These are the last dozen or so players to debut for Australia in T20I. Every single one was picked off BBL form.They tried to replicate the Warner transition as much as possible, and then them giving Maxy Test selection and expecting him to anchor ODI games.
I still think that if they put some effort into Chris Lynn, he could have opened for Australia in T20, but they wanted him for the ODI squad, and then thought he wasn't capable of international cricket.

How many of them got proper game time in the T20 WC last year ?These are the last dozen or so players to debut for Australia in T20I. Every single one was picked off BBL form.

Based on cricket is cricket and you play your best players. Seemed to work at the most recent World Cup.it is interesting that the test players cant play in this because they are busy with internatonals.

Players were selected for Australia on the basis of their BBL performances.How many of them got proper game time in the T20 WC last year ?
