If Sangakarra was an Indian or Australian he would be unanimously considered one of the greats of all time.

I have him as one of the best batsmen I've ever seen.

What a legend Turner is. Feels like every time we've needed him to step up like that this year he's delivered. Perfect cool, calm head of a captain.

The Australian Open is heading towards the most boring as batshit finals matches since the dying days of Kooyong in the 70s when it was a joke tournament.

I take it back. That women's final was a cool match.

Some bizarre fielding mishaps, but what a great game. Turner was awesome, as was Bancroft.

It seems one of our players may have wounded themselves skateboarding and copped an infection.

I’m guessing either of our top 2 in the Doig last year?

 

[Beak_A]

Geez there’s some Sixers players who will want to pretend that game never happened.

Turner and Bancroft looked in command. But if the Sixers held those catches …

[Stinky Lomax]

Haha, 2 experienced campaigners.

Sydney probably think so.

 

[Purpletown]

Mark Waugh and Damien Martyn also easy on the eye.

David Gower was also one of those players who had the gift of perfect timing, poetry in motion when he was on song.

You mean campaigners or campaigners ??

I have to rely on highlights for that one but I have heard.

I saw him live and there has never been a better timer of the ball.

You didn't see my 3* yesterday.

Tickets for the BBL final go on sale in 2 minutes, at 13:00 AWST.

 

[Spirit Level]

The atmosphere at Optus last night was electric!

Really hope they don't add another team to Perth

 

[gaskin]

Granted, I hardly watch any cricket anymore, but is there really any need for another team in the BBL? It seems like it goes for too long as it is.

No one's suggested it seriously outside BF.
If anything there's too many Sydney and Melb teams that are crap every year. They should relocate them to Canberra and Auckland.

Am I doing something wrong or is there only single tickets left?

I'm trying to buy 4 but if I select even 2 it's telling me no results available, let alone 4.

I'd be surprised if there's any left. The Grand Final at Optus sold out in 10 minutes.

I thought with 'only' 40k there last night there would be tickets available for at least a while this week.

Stupid grand final bandwagoners costing grand final bandwagoners like me the chance to go.

 

[Taylor]

I wonder if the seats for the members of the other side are going to be released later if they don't sell out their reserve, assuming they have one at all.

I was getting emails from the Scorchers offering me codes for tickets, I assume the Sixers/Heat/Renegades would have a similar thing.

CA says there'll be another allocation on sale after their opponent is decided, so probably Friday morning.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Hoping the Bengals continue their run against the Chiefs and make back-to-back bowls. Got a bad feeling they'll go the way of the 90s Bills if they do though, both Philly and the 49ers are stacked both sides of the ball.

2 teams in Sydney is right, otherwise the one team would just get all the international players and dominate every year

There is a draft for internationals now, so its changed a little bit

NSW is strong though so two makes sense
