Not sure I mentioned a specific incident.
TBH, I didn't see the problem with it. Initially I thought he must have overstepped but the ball looked ok at first glance.
Didn't change the result though, so that at least was ok
They miss Freddie - just doesn’t come naturally to Roy.
The vast majority are fine though, keep it light and enjoyable - Fleming, Waugh, Ponting, Gilchrist, Howard - I like Mel Jones too but she does tend to play the ‘straight woman’.

Was just about to comment on this.
A trophy for a normal BBL round game, cheep and tacky.

Rubbish. It was waist high. A no ball.
And the players looked so thrilled and excited!

It does seem quite token.
It's not like Dizzy played for the Scorchers as well.
"Hmm. WA have a lot of Aboriginals, and we are playing in an outback area......hey Dizzy, can we put your name on a trophy?"

The other night on the commentary they mentioned that the umpires have been given the directive to err on the side of calling line ball waist high full tosses as no-balls rather than not.

Watch Junior take half our team away for the national T20s if we play the Thunder in a final...

You sure? Commentators didn't seem to think so.
Doesn't seem fair that you could run someone out when they think a wicket has fallen and have started walking back to the pavilion.
You would think the umpires would cal it a dead ball at that stage. No runs or run outs.
That said, I don't know the playing conditions on that for the BBL

Law 27.7 of the Laws of Cricket, which covers Appeals, is titled 'Batsman leaving his wicket under a misapprehension'.
The law states: "An umpire shall intervene if satisfied that a batsman, not having been given out, has left his wicket under a misapprehension that he is out. The umpire intervening shall call and signal Dead ball to prevent any further action by the fielding side and shall recall the batsman."

It used to be true that the only way you could get out off a no ball was run out.

Yeah but that's when you're attempting a run, not walking back to the pavilion thinking you're out.
In the spirit of the game I doubt teams would attempt a run out in that situation anyway.

Ah yeah I was speaking in general.
Wasn't there a Dean Jones incident in the Windies along those lines? I think they ran him out when he walked. From memory it was given too.
Did Cartwright walk when he wasn't out or something?

Caught off a no ball.
Windies or india?..... cant recall but yeah he did and yes he was ,dirty dog tatics!
Cartwright has really stepped up nicely this BBL, easy to forget he was still pretty unproven in T20's prior to this summer but is now probably our best batsman.
Agar's consistency is also highly impressive, if you think back more than a year or so you'd at least bank on one loose ball or full toss for the batsman to hit where he chooses. Not so anymore and his batting keeps going strength to strength.
Highly impressed with Kelly again, pace depth is outrageously strong.
For all the bleating and moaning about Bosisto, evidence would suggest I would back Langer's judgement over the chicken littles on the bigfooty board. He doesn't get many wrong and the way Bosisto bowled yesterday was a big part in choking their batting lineup.

I almost think Bosisto might be better suited coming in down the order - similar to what the heat did with Pierson.
Key problem then is finding a relatively aggressive opener to partner Klinger.
