Fall and Fall of Big Bash

Duckett makes it comfortably.

Melbourne Renegades internationals appear to be doing alright (Seifert, Bethell, Evans)

Seifert started off ok but turned into a typical Kiwi dud now, Duckett well ahead of them all and 3rd overall on the runs tally.

So lyon will not be playing for the Renegades of Melboune this season.

I assume those test cricketers not playing the BBL will sit out the IPL as well.

That's good, so not many.

Throw in Head and Cummins.

They do need a rest though.

Stopped watching Home and Away in 2001. Wonder who the audience is now the youths all have smartphones.

The Brits

I'm curious if/how much funding for it comes from the UK - when Neighbours was axed the other year it was on the back of funding being withdrawn from whichever UK TV station aired the program

I never minded Corrie, it had a bit of northern humour. Eastenders was just relentlessly grim.

I stopped watching it about 10 years before that, there wasn't much choice back then with only a few channels and no streaming.

God knows why anyone would watch it these days.

According to it's Wikipedia page, H & A is shown in 80 countries, so I'm sure it's still reeling in plenty of rights money.

Apparently it's very big in prisons.

I could be wrong but I don't think H&A and Neighbours had the same funding deals from the UK. Don't recall reading H&A having any of that.

Hasnain returns to BBL with Sydney Thunder

The club have also brought in George Garton as an replacement overseas player for the rest of the season

gotta love it when random International who I don't know jets off to another T20 comp midway through and gets replaced by another random International who I don't know...

EastEnders was the one I liked. Doubt I could get into any of them now. They look too... cheap? for 2025. Dated probably a better description. Even TV lighting and camera angles facing the same way on sets.

It's part of the reason I can't get into BBL. I watch it from time to time because I have nothing better to do, but I honestly don't know who half the players are. To me, it just seems like an all expenses paid holiday for overseas players not good enough to represent their own countries.

ok but Mohammad Hasnain literally played against Australia like two months ago

That’s the problem with the one day series being played behind a pay wall not everybody gets to see it.

I’ve got Foxtel so never miss a game but I really hate where Australia’s going with sport and tv rights.

Can’t even imagine the AFL season for people without kayo/fox and not being able to watch a game on a Saturday.
