Big Bash Thread

Not a great night for Warney, I see. Aaron Finch smashed a ton. Get him in the Aussie test side....

[skully]

Jeez Trev, on current form, your boys will absolutely smash us in the Ashes. Are you trying to make it even more one sided? Finch is a Vomit version of Warner, and about as consistent.

[tricycle]

Flaming bails and stumps, no?

[skully]

Yeah, I saw a glimpse on Foxy highlights. So the stumps light up when hit, do they?? Gimmick Cricket at it's best.

Confirming - Zings Stumps

[Includes video]

"The KFC T20 Big Bash League is set to get even more colourful this season with the introduction of a world first - stumps that light up when the bails are dislodged.

Zings Stumps, which is a joint venture between Fox Sports and Cricket Australia, will be in use in every BBL game this summer, starting with Friday's Melbourne derby.

---------------------------------

Festive.

And there I was thinking the IPL's crown as most exceptional would never be challenged.

[skully]

What does it do, t?

[Nath]

I will laugh if the Sixers go down to the Thunder. Thunder's batting lineup (on paper) looks worse than the Renegades, although they gave the Stars a touch-up last night.

What does it do, t?

Usually makes a decent test side shit, but we don't get bogged down by trivial matters compared to the super shaggery coke parties post match.

Tongue in cheek after some Aussie forummers a couple of weeks ago suggested Finch was "in form" and worth a run in the test side, despite having trouble getting a Shield game for Victoria.

[skully]

Yes, I got your drift, but my comments re: the relevant form of our two sides is valid. Ashes 2013 looks very good for England.

[Nath]

Will Thunder make 120?

[skully]

Lordy, who are half these Thunder players? Lockyear, Carters, Tremain, Sandhu. Never heard of 'em. And they are getting butt-farked by the other Sydney side. Currently 5-98 after 16. Back to the real cricket.

Lockyear - Tassie fringe player
Carters - Vic backup keeper
Tremain - ?
Sandhu - NSW u19 bowler

[Nath]

143 was well above what they were looking like achieving at one point

[skully]

No wonder I've never heard of 'em, but thanks anyway, Nath.

Thunder scratched up 143 in the end which was better than they looked like getting.

How much of a tard does Steve Smith look running around in those boxy Sixers cap skewed to the side?

[Nath]

Steve Smith looks like a tard anyway

[tricycle]

Didn't Sandhu play in the U19 world cup?

[Nath]

Didn't Sandhu play in the U19 world cup?

yes, that guy

[tricycle]

Didn't Sandhu play in the U19 world cup?

yes, that guy

Nice, so when can India buy him? (Seem to remember he was a medium pacer)

[skully]

Sixers v Thunder looks like SAf v Bangers.

[Nath]

LOL Haddin. never learns

[skully]

So Sixers good - Thunder bad

[Henry]

Only 15,000 showed up to the SCG last night when many of the marketers were predicting a sell out. I'd imagine no Chris Gayle for the Thunder cost them about 10,000 bums on seats.
