BBL 2021-22 (Mens and Womens)

[TheParraboy]

I'm not sure why that catch was so controversial, it clearly states in the BBL rules that in the pursuit of the Bash Boost point in the power surge a player can be caught by an x factor as long as they've won the bat flip.

Learn the rules before commenting guys.

Sounds like a Ricky Stuart press conference

Copying the Eels ?

At least Bayliss has hair.

Yeah mate time doesn’t really matter, it’s all about stability.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Exit Thunder. Good game.
Second time Thunder eliminated at this point of the season.

Sounds like Parramatta.

Start off season fast then falter at back end of season. Then go out same spot in finals as previous season.

It is going he coached England for 4 years you would lose your hair coaching that mob.

He has the brim cap on all the time to hide the baldness

I think the creation of the BBL has shone a light on a crap organisation that is CA. For the most popular "All Australia" sport, both the AFL and NRL (under V'Landys) run absolute rings around them.

CA will probably think the BBL is the best T20 league in the world considering Australia are now T20 world champions.

When its anything but.

David Warner is a T20 god.

The last time he played BBL was Dec 17th…
















…2011.

1 match. 1 ton. Then nada.

Taking the quantity over quality approach pays off short term with the bigger TV contracts. Not sure how it's going to go long term.
How many viewers are lost that won't come back?
Guess we'll find out.
Sure Covid doesn't help, but the issues were there with the extended season before Covid up ended everything.

I'd say I watched more of the WBBL than this one. Just seemed more interesting somehow

Maybe BA needs a new cap???

Retire from BBL with a hundred average. Good plan.

He wont play because he is banned from any leadership for any team under CA.

Its more of a f.. you back to CA over sandpaper gate.

BBL went to shit about season 5-7 ( 2015/16 - 2017/18).

Later start times. Not kid family friendly. Longer season. Too many games. Extended finals. Mediocrity.
Slower over rates and bigger breaks.
The furore over Chris Gayle’s ‘don’t blush comment’
Then the standard of imports declined.
Rival T20 comps and NZ and SAF started playing Boxing Day / NY tests.
Then switch to 7 and Fox saw the f**kwits of 10 on FTA, where the better commentators went behind a paywall.

So what about BBLs 2-7?
Didn’t play then either.

Yeah i reckon i watched less BBL this year then ever before. I watched the thunder play and the odd game here and there but other then that i was generally just checking the scores on my phone without watching any action. Not like previous seasons where every night the BBL would be on TV.

He did i was more referring to now and atm.

BBL03 last time he played i believe.

He played for sixers in BBL 02 and got a duck.

Thrn went back to the Thunder again in BBL03 and played one game.

The BBL hasn't produced anyone of note for the last 5 years or so, if you look at the Australian team who won the world cup it was old stagers.

It's always been a domestic comp sprinkled with a few over the hill 'stars' or poms no f**ker has ever heard of

I think this is a bit of a chicken/egg scenario to be fair.

It's hard for the BBL to produce much when we're the only country in the world that ignores T20 'specialists' for T20 international games and instead chooses a diet ODI squad with extra ploddy all rounders.

A guy like McDermott could have been a steady international, at least at T20 level, if we picked actual T20 squads. Or Behrendorff or even AJ Tye before he disappeared up his own well knuckled anus. Instead we might occasionally pick Chris Lynne or Ben McDermott or Sam Heazlett for an ODI based on T20 form then discard them when that fails for some reason no one can possibly fathom....

I don’t even remember him playing another game for either team.
I never saw in Thunder colours that’s for sure.

Peter Siddle calls for shorter BBL window

If they absolutely have to keep the 14 game season, then put me double and triple headers in. Have one game at 4pm, the other at 7:30pm, and boom.

Eliminate the stupid bash boost point, or make it so you only get it if you win the game. Strikers made the finals off the point, but lost more games than the Stars - lunacy.
