Fall and Fall of Big Bash

[ioppolo]

Hasnain is the one who broke Connolly's thumb from memory.

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

And he has played in the BBL before.

My main memory of him was Moises calling him a chucker

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...

Lockie Ferguson and Sherfane Rutherford are both regular white ball representatives of their countries. Ferguson has played 65 ODIs for NZ, hardly random.

This probably ends any chances the Thunder had. Ferguson is a white-ball specialist, and Garton was complete pants for the Strikers a few years ago.

it was a wild generalisation, but they're hardly "big name" players regardless of International credentials.

I think this year's big bash has been pretty good thus far.

Who are crickets big name players right now, outside of India?

We dont live in the Gayle, Bravo, ABD era anymore. I can't think of many global cricketers that would be bum on seats kind of attractions. Maybe Harry Brook, but even then he played Big Bash a few years ago and averaged 6 with the bat.

I’m really enjoying it.

All games are evenly matched and any team can win on their day.

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.

When Sky got all English cricket rights in 2005 it killed the sport in the country. No coincidence people talk about "peak BBL" in the mid 2010's when all games were on Channel 10.
