Mens BBL about to kick off this Thursday (copying the nrl?)

What year was the rule changed about the new batter having to face first up, even if the batters crossed?

Last year I think. If not 2021

For our newcomers to the men’s BBL here is your official guide to understanding the key phrases

Tricky low total: the score is shit but please don’t change the channel yet

feather-ruffler: a fast bowler who doesn’t take wickets but bowls some short stuff

nudger & nurdler: a batsman that can’t hit boundaries

manipulates the field: doesn’t try to hit boundaries

In the arc: a ball that can be agriculturally slogged

levers: size of a batsman’s agricultural slog

skiddy spinner: spinner who doesn’t spin it

skiddy seamer: medium pacer who gets carry on the ball

Avenue of apprehension: a delivery just outside off stump

riding the bounce: if anyone can help with this please do so

Feel free to add more

The big bash starting before a single home international just feels wrong

I thought it started after the 1st test

Just try not to think of the bash boosts. You’ll be so excited you’ll never sleep again.

Sorry if I planted the seed.

Just read that they've got rid of the eliminator, challenger and pulveriser this year.

What's next, the X factor?

I'm sure I heard one of the channel 7 presenters saying it was a sell out?? Maybe I'm dreaming or they were taking the piss ...
