Big Bash 2019/20 (Mens and Womens)

[blaza88z]

is Miller with Hobart for the entire season? they'd be wishing he was on one of those half season deals just quietly

 

[jargan83]

Jason Roy wasn't a lot better

Both would make an All Star BBL plod side.

Miller being the worst import in BBL history is pretty hard to argue against. It has been beyond bad luck...just plain awful. He is definitely the worst batting import. Chris Gayle had a bit of a struggle at the Thunder but still beats the crap out of Miller's stint.

Bowling import, harder to say. Harry Gurney this season has been pretty shit....last season a gun though.

Speaking of imports, why do West Indian guys no longer come here? Is it because of the Chris Gayle "Don't blush baby" issue?

Probably just lack of quality players. They don't do so well in T20 cricket.

West Indian cricket tends to have a lot of mercenaries that play elsewhere. Get them together for a big tournament, they are not a side you want to face regardless of ranking. An Andre Russell or a Carlos Braithwaite would be very handy in the BBL

They just had a ODI /T20 tour of India

And are currently hosting Ireland in the same formats

Pollard, Russell and Bravo are usually the ones out here in recent times but are either playing for their country or in the Bangladesh League

Anton Devcich remains the worst import I've seen.

The bloke would struggle to make 5th grade in a country comp.

Edit - also, looks like sasquatch

This years big beat off is easily the worst, the standard is horrible and some of the
Imports would get owned in my local indoor cricket centre.


I’ve struggled to watch many games this year while 3 or 4 years ago i would of watched nearly all of them.

 

[TheParraboy]

Yeah the last two years have been horrid quality, been a circus in a lot of ways, comedy gold

Not just the players but umpiring just as bad and crowds on the decline overall

The CA turnips will address this im sure by introducing The 100 next summer

 

[TheParraboy]

Having said all that, and 75% of bowlers being park quality
Interested to see how much AB can improve his average and S/R while here

Matches: 304
Runs: 8511
Ave: 37.49
S/R: 149.94

The bowling is terrible. Haris Rauf is the find of the tournament he is better than some of those hacks Pakistan brought over for the test series.

The Hurricanes had him right under their nose and lol at some of the trundlers they have been playing.

It's also difficult competing with the BPL. It's quite laughable that players can earn more in Bangladesh than they can in Australia but that's the way it is at the moment.

BBL needs an overhaul. More dollars and more imports. It's a franchise comp, we don't need f**king grade cricketers like Liam Bowe involved.

I stopped watching last nights game when the Hurricanes were 2 for not much.
Checked the score online to see if it was worth coming back too.
It wasn't.

Which drunk decided to put today’s game on in the afternoon?

Smart call, I lasted until the Hurricanes were 4 down and that's when I pulled the pin.
