BBL 2021-22 (Mens and Womens)

[Wizardman]

Ponting led me down the wrong road with the catching rule. The bottom half of that ball touches the ground. Ponting backtracked back then...lol.

 

[Wizardman]

Hodge and Ponting are like Phil Gould.....change the rules when it suits them rather than respecting what they are atm.

 

[Eelectrica]

Good batting from these two. Picking up runs easily without a whole lot of risk. Just hitting gaps and running.

 

[mozza91]

What in the f**k was that Khawaja decision? The umpires haven’t earned their bash boost point tonight.

 

[Eelectrica]

Siddle for T20 WC!

 

[King-Gutho94]

Siddle for T20 WC!

Can peel the bananas for the lads at the break

 

[Wizardman]

That Ross is a decent player for a domestic T20 player.

 

[Eelectrica]

Thornton would make a good FB for someone.

 

[Eelectrica]

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

 

[Wizardman]

I think the Sixers will have a game on their hands against this Adelaide mob.

Obviously a New South Welshman. The AFL star with gloves on couldn’t beat him to the ball.

Treloar and Sams were Adelaide's best tonight

That Khawaja decision was sheer muppetry at its highest level and proof that this is a circus league. Stevie Wonder could see that ball had hit part of the ground. Shame on Fawad for appealing it in the first place.

Then you have Sams out LBW when there's 2 noises and looks like an edge, but hey, it hit the leg so it's auto-out according to these clowns in the middle.

BBL is going to die. Crowds are down, interest is down, competition is too long, the umpires are guessing, the lack of DRS allows clown decisions to be made.

One thing is for sure...Im sure everybody would agree with it in that the Big Bash has gone backwards. It has numerous issues and they are getting bigger by the season.

One thing nobody has discussed is the banning of Steve Smith from the tournament. Considering recent events with the cancelling of international cricket as well as promoting a home grown product, it is a no brainer to let an Australian rep test player play. Braindead decision. It would also be the only domestic T20 comp in the world where the best players in that country play very minimal to no cricket in it at all.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Mate, the BBL is just the tip of the iceberg for dumb decisions and incompetence. You should see it in all its glory at junior and pathway level.

 

[Wizardman]

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.

Copying the Eels ?

At least Bayliss has hair.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

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 on the bounce by an x factor as long as they've won the bat flip.

Learn the rules before commenting guys.
