Salt with a lazy 77 for his first match of the SA league. smh

They seem to have the wood on us but have lost 4 games already.
Yeah was just referencing an earlier post. I hadn’t realised that Hales and Roussouw were leaving though - assumed we’d have a top 4 of Hales, Warner, Gilkes and Roussouw to contend with.

Parts of India still treat their women like second class citizens. Let's not pretend otherwise.
Pakistan... Bangladesh...

We're most likely to come up against a similar XI to the Sixers game on Sunday, with Hales out and Warner in. They bat pretty deep though with Green at 9.
 
Cool that you can watch the SA20 on Kayo. Interesting listening to Kevin Pietersen and Vernon Philander as the two commentators.

Loving the brass band/s in the crowd. Wish there was a similar festival vibe at the cricket in Aust.

Aussie sporting atmosphere is very vanilla compared to most places and it sucks

The crowd engagement that the grounds come up with these days is straight up embarrassing, not to mention non-stop. Went to a big bash game earlier this season, and after every single ball there was some sort of sound affect, music or unoriginal crowd participation chant that's been done a thousand times.

I thought Marketing was meant to be a creative profession.

Dayo and that stupid Mexican trumpet can DIAF. It's so lame.

I often think BBL could do with a ground-announcer / hype-man like at NBL games. Just not Lachie Reid.

Cultural impact of not wanting to be boorish, and most folks at the sport want to watch the sport rather than multi-tasking.

Scorchers win the toss and decided to chase again.
I think with Richo out and the bats in pretty good form, we've
decided we're a batting side.

Dorf rested I assume for Morris and Payne in for Hatz.

I think it's just a case of being a good chasing side now. With the lineup we have, the batters seem to be really good at pacing a chase as opposed to knowing how hard to go to set a target.

Maybe

But pretty sure we used to bat first most of the time when Richo and Dorf were opening.

Going to be tough without those two.

Hope Morris goes well and Payne shows a bit.
 
They wouldn’t boycott it if there was money in it, or if it was against, say, India.

Cowards.

Hope Khan walks away from the BBL and makes CA look silly.

Let’s be honest here, it’s easy for him to walk away from the BBL while pretending he’s taking a stand about Australia walking away from the series with Afghanistan, because the BBL doesn’t pay huge money and he has other options around this time. If India walked away from a series with Afghanistan I highly doubt that Rashid would be bailing out on the IPL.

Aussie everything crowd wise is always less crazy than other countries.

I laugh when I see big name bands playing to people bopping in seats
