BBL 2021-22 (Mens and Womens)

[Valheru]

14 games is too many. I don't think they will go back to 7 so something like 10 games seems like a good balance with a top 4 and 3 finals games.

That would result in 43 total games (down from 61) and it should all be played within a 4 week 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.

No reason logistically why they cant have triple headers every Sat and Sunday. Alternate teams around so everyone gets the even amount of different time slots.

The only reason for one game per night for 2 months is marketing revenue. Condensing the format would cost them millions, regardless what we feel about the quality

Regarding ratings, Im a celebrity get me out of here is wiping the floor over BBL, now thats a massive slap in the face if there ever was one. Matter of time before they need to revamp the comp

Felt like weeks since we have had a BBL match

The Challengers is here tonight

725pm Strikers v Sixers - weather forecast looking great

However come Friday for the Final, at the home of Sport, the weather not so great, ton of rain forecast

Isn't the final being played at the Marvel stadium, with the roof though? Just close the roof.

That's true

Maybe someone will forget to press the button?

Philippe ruled out. Let Smithy play. Give us some reason to watch this joke of comp.

Close the roof, new rule if you hit the roof it's worth 12 runs. However if you hit the roof and it's caught off the rebound it's minus 6 runs and the batsman has to use a ping pong bat for the rest of their innings.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Omg, no one told me Jack and Mickey Edwards are also out. Stykers by 57 maximums.

 

[Wizardman]

Deadset, Adelaide have had a blessed run. Getting into finals despite having more losses than an opponent (Stars), umpire decisions for them...now facing a very decimated Sixers squad.

 

[Wizardman]

Anybody sniffing an upset? Bowling first will help the Sixers batters somewhat and the Sixers bowling attack are largely intact.

Kez gorn.

 

[Wizardman]

150 will be enough for Adelaide.....Sydney will need to keep them below that

 

[Bazal]

Great tools to win. Only hope the Sixers have is roll the Strikers hard. A good start

Brayshaw filthy that Marsh wasn’t named player of the tournament. Tug* Lever*Tug* Finish

 

[Bazal]

Sabba on fire, that's decked a lot

 

[_snafu_]

Nice ball from Abbott.

 

[TheParraboy]

Someone please tell me we didnt pick Head in our T20 squad to play SL

 

[Bazal]

I almost think you bowl Sabba for four straight here.

Gotta bowl them out cheaply.
