Fall and Fall of Big Bash

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... :rolleyes:
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.

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.
 
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.
 
As posted early the Comp is so even and anyone can win on any given day.
The Stars have dropped back to last tonight after the Strikers had a big win boosting there run rate.
A win tomorrow and the Stars jump from 8th to 4th.
The comp is well and truly alive.
The Scorchers are on a losing streak and sit 3 and 5 and yet if they make the 4 they would probably win the comp.
Enjoyable season.

Feel like it’s only “good” because most lists are dog water and it’s super even, especially as we head towards finals with a large number about to drop out.

It’s actually terrible to watch most nights because the big names aren’t playing and we might as well be tuning into club cricket. Zero consistency in the teams and we’re just watching random blokes get lucky every other night with the exception of a few genuine guns.
 
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.

Isn’t enough money to get the good internationals, have a look at SA20 they have some good ones.
