    Wednesday night/Thursday morning. But I legitimately thought it was Wednesday today, though. Wow, talk about two wrongs making an even bigger wrong...

    Western Australian State Cricket Team: Treble Winners. Again

    Is WACA membership worth it? I've not been able to go to much cricket recently but now my kid is crazy for it so I'm tossing up becoming a member for the first time. I can see us going to a couple of days of the test (at least part of the days, anyway), plus some BBL and probably the T20I in...

    State Marsh Cup 2022-23

    There's 50-over World Cups in 2023, 2027 and 2031 - it's handy to have a comp that develops players and lets them actually play the format.

    My Take on This Year's Bash

    Base for rookie listed players is $42k, from what I've seen. And yeah, it's been reported that Nick Hobson, for instance, works half the year and plays cricket half the year.

    BBL Match 58 The Qualifier Perth Scorchers v Sydney Sixers 1845hrs @ Perth Stadium

    His white ball record has always been very good - remember he first played for Australia in a T20I. Also averages 40+ in 50 over cricket, striking at 85. Very handy cricketer.

    BBL Match 58 The Qualifier Perth Scorchers v Sydney Sixers 1845hrs @ Perth Stadium

    I reckon they assume that the entire members area will be full. So it's actually 30,000 tickets plus a 15,000 capacity members area* = "45,000 tickets sold". *Don't know the actual size of the members, figures are an illustration only.

    My Take on This Year's Bash

    The BBL is getting shorter at the request of the broadcasters, from the start of the next TV deal.

    Western Australian State Cricket Team: Treble Winners. Again

    Yeah, got my years wrong, unfortunately. So Pakistan are here mid-December to early January, so they'll get Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney (tradition and all that). And then West Indies in mid-January to mid-February, but also including 3 ODIs and 3 T20s. Wouldn't mind betting they'll play...

    Western Australian State Cricket Team: Treble Winners. Again

    It was a Wednesday in November, just after we'd had five matches in the T20 World Cup and we felt we were being handed the crappier of the two touring sides. Give us India in December 2023 and there'll be at least 25,000 there on day one.

    There was a traditional Sheffield Shield match on Christmas Day for 40+ years. Here's the last one, from 1969: https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/sheffield-shield-1969-70-356295/south-australia-vs-queensland-357098/full-scorecard

    Niche domestic cricket references that warm the heart

    I remember going to one of the 50 over split innings games. Just felt a bit odd, IMO. And this game - would love to see the last ball again to see if my memory is the same at this guy's...
