Someone mentioned on the Fantasy Supercoach BBL board, that there is a likelihood of rain on Saturday between Brisbane and Adelaide. So this game takes more importance now for Brisbane.

One rule change to be aware of is if the square leg umpire calls for the 3rd umpire to check a stumping, the stumping will be the only mode of dismissal to be checked unless the bowling captain calls for a review for another form of dismissal.

The Melbourne Stars are coached by a man who was sacked twice by England.

Howie has his head up Maxwell's arse already.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Is it me or has promotion of the BBL been rather non existent?

Only just heard it starts tonight

 

[Cleavy]

oh, we're still doing this bat flip crap.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Only just heard it starts tonight

The only advertising I've heard is along the lines of "The big bash is coming this summer" Not once saying when!

That means they are destined to Fail.

Reading the Stars line up made me think if 12th Man Richie laughing while reading the NZ team.

“What a shithouse looking team it is.”

Howie has his head up Maxwell's arse already.

Howie's a professional fluffer.

 

[The 747]

Who's this hobbit being interviewed?

Edit: Samwise Harper apparently.

 

[010203]

You'd think Ponting and Brayshaw would tuck their shirts in.

 

[The 747]

Can't believe Nathan Coulter-Nile is still going around

 

[NYRB]

Maxwell 'hoping elusive trophy'

Yeah right Maxy .....keep in dreaming.

Yeah right Maxy .....keep in dreaming.

The 2018-19 BBL final was hilarious. Even funnier than Liam Livingstone getting hit in the nuts twice in the same game during that exact season.

 

[NYRB]

Rogers with a drop chance for the Stars. Gotta take those ones.

 

[NYRB]

Decent 1st over from Olly Stones. Havent seen much of him in the past.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Rauf’s pies would have been handy for Brisbane

Stone is a mile better when fit

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Decent 1st over from Olly Stones. Havent seen much of him in the past.

Can’t stay fit would be one of the first quicks picked for England if he could stay on the park. Hes their Jyhe.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Munro has gone to the Stewie Dew diet

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He's played for England, he's a decent bowler when he's fit.

Him and Joffra just can’t stay fit. Stone when fit is so good happy he’s getting a good run at it
