2019-20 Big Bash League

[Balls In]

Someone need their ******* head chopped off for agreeing to this broadcast deal. Yet another Scorchers game behind a paywall.

He’s an Australian resident these days, married that journo who’s name escapes me right now.
Remember reading that he hopes to qualify as an Aussie down the track.

Roz Kelly?

[The Speaker]

they're never going back to a State comp, just accept it.

Never is a long time.

Sixers with the least, what a shock...

Notice tonight they are on when every other Saturday night has been a Fox exclusive?

 

[eddiesmith]

not a bad player to bring to replace a departing international

Interesting, Renegades wanted him when they lost another international but he mustn’t have been interested

probably a ch7 request, so ch9 didn't get a free hit with the tennis finals.

I also suspect it's related to the derby thing. The first derby for each state was on Fox and the second was on FTA. It might have been that this match could have only been scheduled for Saturday.

Will the Big Bash ever be able to generate genuine rivalry between the clubs?

No, because they're not clubs. The only rivalries that exist are between states.

Roz Kelly I think

I think we are thinking about joining the Bangladesh t20 league

 

[Knox Harrington]

I think we are thinking about joining the Bangladesh t20 league

Good idea.
You might win a game.

 

[Drunkcat]

I think we are thinking about joining the Bangladesh t20 league

That would be great bye

I feel like the hype around Riley Meredith should now be matched by hype around Wes Agar, particularly as the latter's record in other formats is superior so far, too.

 

[Hamingja]

Agar gets wickets but he is more like Abbott if you ask me, no standout attribute. Meredith is a weapon if he gets it right with his pace. I think even the Strikers dropped Agar a few games back.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Either use DRS or get better umpires, it's been a joke all season.

Players change clubs too much and they’re not nasty enough to get on the nerves of opposition players & supporters.

Remember Warnie famously getting stuck into Marlion Samuels? That’s the closest ‘incident’ I can remember.

Australia and India thrive off the bitterness and tension it’s built upon with so many fiery clashes between Kohli and the Australians.

Agreed!

Wes Agar seems to have somewhat of a brain too! Given the responsibility of bowling some death overs to boot. Do rate him

Agar has seriously improved that’s for sure

 

[HTPunter]

Crowds down again, although above all the reasons given by CA I wonder if more regional games has impacted this? Certainly don't have an issue if Alice Springs, northern Tasmania, Geelong etc get extra games. Might be smaller total crowds but more accessible to a higher number of people.

Revamped BBL ignites viewership epidemic

On January 2, 2016, 80,883 cricket fans filed into the MCG to witness the Big Bash League Melbourne derby — a BBL record.

These numbers aren't pretty. Playing games in regional areas will play a part in the attendance drop.

Regional games and half the capital cities being covered in smoke for weeks would have played a big part.

You’d think with all the international players back crowds will pick up for the last week and the finals. CA will be hoping for a stars home grand final as that crowd will be boosted by the bushfire fundraiser
