This isn't the first time he's issued this threat. Will he follow through this time? I do get his and Afghanistan's frustration around Australia playing against them in ICC events but not bilateral series on neutral territory.

From a Brisbane Heat point of view, I get what you're saying but Josh Brown won't play for Australia in international cricket so his best bet is to take the best financial offer on the table in the BBL.

He'll probably only get 5 games in given the Manchester weather.

The Middlesex match is being played in good weather.

Bit like when the coach gets told they have the full support of the board.

The QLD Bulls and the Brisbane Heat will have a new coach next season with Wade Secombe departing. While Secombe is a BBL title winning coach, the Bulls have been poor in the Sheffield Shield and Marsh Cup competitions. Secombe was told to reapply for his job and has decided to quit.

Get your recruitment right, get rid of players who need to ship off and you can win a title. Ian Healy's comment about Chris Lynn is spot on too for what it's worth. Kings of the Bash: The story behind the Heat's renaissance | cricket.com.au

Stoinis has batted at 5 or 6 for the Durban Super Giants. He's an opener or he's useless as far as I'm concerned.

The list manager of the Stars must have rocks in his head to sign Stoinis up for another 3 years.

I'm struggling to give a rats about who ends up winning this summer's BBL carnival. The BBL is a Mickey Mouse 'comp' and it's not just because many overseas players ship off before the finals. I'm prepared to acknowledge that the shorter season has revitalised the BBL but 8 teams playing 10...

I think you might be right and if you are, I see the Sixers winning it.

Moises preferred a longer BBL and so do I. Ten games per team for an 8 team comp is a farce.

I like the idea of trialling a BBL game on Christmas night but it has to be a local derby.

CA were always going to go away from the 14 game home once the opportunity arose due to players, media and fans dissatisfaction. I liked the 14 game season but reducing the games was inevitable. Glenn Maxwell was vocal about the BBL being too long back in early 2020. When Maxwell made these...

Would the Renegades being based out of Geelong be a good idea or a bad idea?

With Eddie as president and many of the superstars they had playing for them, including Warnie, the Stars were the glamour side of the comp, the side I certainly enjoyed seeing fail. Watching them play really well for much of the season and then seeing them fall short of winning the BBL was...

When the Lions lost the AFL grand final, I was shattered and felt horrible about it for a few days. When the Brisbane Heat men's and women's sides lost their respective finals, I was disappointed for about 10 minutes and that was it. I sat in the Matthew Hayden stand at Allan Border field for...

On the whole, and this will sound like a generalisation but I don't think Aussies care deeply about T20 cricket like they do in other countries. People east of Western Australia don't really care about who wins the BBL that much. Maybe Sixers fans give a genuine s**t about winning the BBL, but...

What is worth pointing out about the BBL 'peaking' in the 2015-16 summer is that the West Indies were here and anything that happened in the BBL was going to be more memorable than what happened in the West Indies tests which were on at the same time as the BBL that summer. You can point to the...

All those losses came in the space of 9 weeks.

Bit like Baz in the 2015 World Cup final.

Two South Africans (Laura Wolvaardt and Marizanne Kapp) but no Aussies (I know of anyway) have won 3 WBBL titles.

Now, that one was hilarious!

The fist few seasons ran from December to January but the last 5 were stand alone from October to early December. The Heat won the 2018-19 title on Australia Day 2019 and then won tournament played from October to December of 2019.

In another era, the Heat coach would be tempted to shut all the doors, have a very, very silent changeroom for a good hour or so and then tell the players well done on butchering a WBBL title. That wouldn't work in this day and age but for the players who played tonight, this is a title that...

On the plus side, the Heat will remain the only team to win 2 WBBL titles in the same calendar year.

4 teams have now won 2 WBBL titles. This will sting and sting painfully for the Heat. They blew it as much as the Strikers won.

Katie Mack might have dropped the WBBL
