Yep.final on Australia Day every year?
Agreed. The early Scorchers days at the Furnace (WACA) were epic. Plenty of kids there, but it very much felt like a product adults could (and did) enjoy. Now it's just a mess of embarrassing contrived rules, poor diluted squads and an overly bloated fixture.Yes it doesnt suit school holidays but big deal. The product is sh*t because its all catered to children and children arent the ones paying money. It can still be fun without the childish sh*t

They're ruined what was a pretty exciting competition.
Should start Boxing Day, end Australia Day. Put all finals in one city to help compress them.
Elimination and Qualifying double header on 23rd, Prelim on 24th, Final on Australia Day.
4 week competition and you might just attract some internationals.
Biggest disappoint is the Shiel not running in line with test cricket. Incredibly frustrating hearing people use BBL form as a justification for selection in a high pressure cauldron of test cricket.I agree with that one and please run the shield right up to xmas.

The Melbourne vs Melbourne/Sydney vs Sydney derbies would get a bit confusing.Do we really need strikers,heat bushrangers etc in front of our BBL and shield side names.
Among our cricket going crowd is my mate's now nineteen year old niece, she's been coming with us for a few years now and has really picked up on the game. We've taught her how to do the Times cryptic in the down time too.My pre-teen son and mates his age are more interested in watching the Tests.

Well the Bushrangers nickname lost out to cancel culture a couple of years back.
Southern Cross Victorians
Covid Victorians
Lockdown Victorians
Some good options there
What culture.Perhaps I am old school,call them the vics or Victoria.
Firstly, who was the last person selected for Australia in a test match on the basis of their T20 performances?Biggest disappoint is the Shiel not running in line with test cricket.

Yay - it's over!!!!!!!
During the period where the WSC started to wane in it's appeal I did always wonder if a 4 or 5-team mini tournament with New Zealand could have worked with the various touring countries involved and games shifting between Australia and NZ as required.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.

And secondly, playing a BBL game a week before his test debut didn't hurt Scott Boland. Players change formats all the right - maybe they're better at handling it than you think.
