Big Bash 2020/2021 (Mens and Womens)

[Wizardman]

Mick Lewis is the Renegades bowling coach....haha! That explains a lot about their season

 

[_snafu_]

Sutherland is stinking it up for the Renegades

 

[Bazal]

Yep, test cricket leaves the BBL in the dust.

You just don't understand the nuance and excitement of a Power Surge, or an X Factor.

The sheer nail-biting thrill of a Bash Boost point

You can see the effect of Mick Lewis' coaching on Will Sutherland.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

You guys bag it but still watch it.

Once you appreciate it as bubblegum time filler it’s more fun.

I actually think T20 might be my favourite form of cricket to play these days.

BBL I bag cos the standard is so bad compared to what it was. Always been a fan as weeknight entertainment

It's just the lack of Lynnsanity. Sigh.

It’s the tenth season and my takeaways are Flintoff singing, Quiney & the seagull, Head’s six (ton?) on NYE. I seriously can’t remember anything else. I enjoy it. And since you mentioned it, the standard is dire and where are all the internationals these days?? But I’ve learnt to deal with it as I’ve always watched the Thunder and just never had any expectations.

There's not been much sanity this tournament, Lynn or otherwise

 

[TIGER14]

Big Bash needs more of the older players like they had back in the comps early days. Hogg, Hussey x2, Kallis, Flintoff, etc. Seeing past legends of the game made it a better comp to watch.

Oh and piss the International player quota off. Let teams sign whoever they want.

Brett Lee fumbling the run out at Manuka in the final, the famous Stards choke, Lynn almost belting it out of the Gabba and winking back at the bowler (Alpha as f**k), Christian actually belting it out of the Gabba, Eoin Morgan straight down the ground last ball to win for the Thunder, Rashi Khan wrong uns making everyone look very stupid...

Memorable moments were few and far between in the last 2-3 seasons though. I think this season was always going to be a bit like that with the pandemic restrictions, and it's too long.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

We actually sat around today lamenting Rashid Khan heading off. He seriously is an X factor.


such a shame the Afghan test was kybooshed.

This game would be up there

 

[TIGER14]

Can always just sign more West Indians to make the comp more fun

 

[Sphagnum]

This game would be up there

There is one of those a season, if that. Every time a sit down to watch the big bash it’s f**ken boring.

 

[Tigers1986]

I concur that the season is too long. With the restrictions this season, it should have reverted back to a 7-game tournament and then finals. 14 games per team is excessive.

 

[hineyrulz]

Every time my team gets a BIIIIIIIGGGG!! BASH BOOOOOOOOSTTTTT!! Point it’s memorable for me.

Drags on for sure, the womens comp was exactly the same (14 games per side)
But was all done and dusted in just over a month, 25/10 to the final 26/11
They did play 3 or 4 matches a day though, some days no matches

Their finals only had a top 4, both semi winners into the final

Really enjoyed that schedule

McDermott is appalling behind the wickets. Get him into the test team.
