Was BBL 7 rigged?

[Restricted Free Agent]

So BBL 7 is about to finish / is finished and the Strikers have won. However I believe that the Strikers have been significantly helped by BBL. Whenever they have a big game they seem to get back a key player or two who is released from the Australian squad. This hasn't ever happened this much.
JackOutback put it better than me
"The inconsistency around releasing players is frustrating, but it's incompetence, not conspiracy. It's like they realised too late just how popular BBL has become and how important it is to have your best players out there. I can see some scheduling changes next year.
But otherwise, it's just congrats to the Strikers, equal best most of the season, performed better in the finals. Good on 'em."
I'm not saying that the Strikers aren't a worthy winner I'm saying that the releasing of players was done slightly unfairly.

Any SA based side winning something is deserving a Royal Commission investigation.

 

[Chism]

I would much rather talk about Matt Stevic and Hawthorn games TBH when i hear the word " Rigged" !!

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Shut up dickhead.

 

[Scorpus]

No

 

[Gavin Excell]

Nah

Just best

 

[The Fonz]

cricket australia is so incompetent that even if they wanted to rig it, they couldn't...

 

[Sketi]

My thoughts are you should post less.

My thoughts are you should post less.

I'm tempted to post more just to spite you.

 

[peppy la pew]

When you say " A key player "

Do you mean like Billy Stanlake ?

 

[Sketi]

I'm tempted to post more just to spite you.

That's cool, ignore is just a click away.

Just let them enjoy it.

You disgrace the face of Rosa Diaz/Stephanie Beatriz

For real though, I don't see anything wrong here, just wanting the best players available to push up attendance. Why they scheduled the T20 tri series now I'll never know but I doubt this was rigged.

 

[Truckosaurus]

... why the hell would CA rig the tournament for Adelaide?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Yes, I'm sure CA did all they could to help an SA based team.

wow, DARREN LEHMAN is from SA (that is his son ) and a national selector
So Head gets two games,and Carey ,one, Darcy gets one is good bonus to cover the striker guys
In the past only NSW could have pulled that off

 

[Tigerssaints]

"
Head was the only player from the 14-player Australia squad made available for the BBL semi-finals and he played a match-winning hand of 85 not out in the Strikers' thrilling final-ball victory over the Melbourne Renegades last night."

IN Tassie Lehman is know to be jealous of us , and you do not see any players in squads

Go out side enjoy the sunshine and get laid!

 

[jackess]

Releasing someone who wasn’t in the Aussie to play domestic cricket. Can’t see why anyone would have an issue with that.

Like Short and Stanlake?

 

[eth-dog]

No. Next.

 

[Ripper]

There was a absolute shocker of an LBW decision.

 

[Quinz]

There is a significant transparency problem with which players get released or held at certain times.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Nah, worthy winners.

Have they got an LBW call right once this tournament?
