Tesla Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 How woeful is the BBLFixedIt's decent entertainment, I just don't understand how you can actually follow a team when at least half the squad changes between seasons. The franchise system could work, but they need to feel less like franchises. It's 100 times worse than the A-League franchise model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The franchise system could work, but they need to feel less like franchises. It's 100 times worse than the A-League franchise model.  Its just so plastic though, test and one day cricket is so much more interesting.  I guess its alright if you have kids or want to take the missus to a sporting event but you couldn't even give me free tickets with my mates to go see this shit. Will always just be 'hit n giggle' circket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these unorthodox cricket shots made up by these specialists 20/ 20 cricket players are cringe worthy to watch.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The most retarded thing about t20 is they put in all these retarded rules, limit the game to 20 overs, etc. to make it faster and more exciting. But there is still way too much time between balls and overs. If you want to make cricket faster and more exciting, restrict the time wasting batsmen can do (by no being ready, etc.) and then give the bowling team a tight time frame to get through the overs. I'd rather watch a ball going through to the keeper or being blocked than watching people standing around. On another note I reckon I'm the only person that likes one day cricket more than test cricket. OD > test > t20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted April 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 We all know him as the doyen of commentators but what many might not realise is that he was one of the best captains Australia ever had and a world class cricketer. Held the wickets record till Lillee broke it, but he was an allrounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Not really given what the other batsmen achieved. NZ bowling is just shit.there is some truth to that, but there is a huge difference between opening on the first morning of a test and coming in at 1/150+. Life was easy for 3 to 6 because of the work of the openers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 I can't believe how poor the kiwis have been, particularly their bowling. Coming into the series I thought they had one of their best ever sides (not that's saying a lot, they've always had a few good players, but not a good side) and would be competitive at least. How wrong I've been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Lol I dun fucked up but he helped win me the 2 live bets I placed on this so it's all good (over like 125 runs or something session 2 day 1, it was really more Warner and khawaja but he helped a bit, and over 75 before 1st wicket in 2nd innings)TBH I didn't realise his first class average was higher than khawaja and I always rated khawaja. Also didn't expect him to score so quickly, that's what really impressed me about Burns. Still I maintain NZ bowlers are shit. Edited November 7, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
