I expect spiv russell after his showing against Crystal will be in the test squad against the Lankans

Has the t20 bubble started to burst in Aus? The crowd at ANZ was quoted in the press at 'more than 15 000'.

As everyone who went to the SCG Test could present their ticket to this match and get in for free, and that included public transport to the game, 15000 wouldn't be regarded as a great success would it?

by Henry Sun 09 Jan 2011, 21:28

It's still more than what the Aus v Sri Lanka ODIs brought in.

by Zat Sun 09 Jan 2011, 22:03

At $70+ per ticket. With at least 100 000 free tickets out there for the game 15000 isn't exactly a big draw.

Who would want to turn up to watch the star import Saj Mahmood?

by Henry Sun 09 Jan 2011, 22:17

The three Windies players Gayle, Pollard, and Bravo are the only real drawcards in this tournament in the absence of the top Aussie players.

by JGK Mon 10 Jan 2011, 02:07

Is Bravo really a draw card? He bats at 6 or 7 and is an average bowler.

Pollard and Gayle clearly are though. Makes it all the more crazy why Pollard bats so low for SOz.

by Henry Mon 10 Jan 2011, 02:15

No, Bravo has become a bit overrated. He's a better batsman than what he shows, but his once useful bowling now just consists of filthy long hops.

My eldest daughter had the pleasure of seeing Crystal tee off last night at ANZ. She and two mates went courtesy of Cricket NSW's generosity in allowing Day 1 tickets from T5 to be used for entry. Zog and pieman were good enough to hand over their tickets.

Awesome display by the big Ganja.

by skully Mon 10 Jan 2011, 08:13

And I note Belf's remarkable form continued today in the PM's XI game. Zoggy must have a viagra-like woody.

It's the least I / we could do ... glad the girls got to use the tickets

They got to see a non-evil team win, too.

Doing a survey on the Bushrangers site regarding name suggestions for the new 20/20 teams.

Team A:

This team will welcome the whole community of Victorian cricket fans, but it will, in particular, represent those areas that have historically been less affluent and are now undergoing an economic and cultural renewal.

Historically, these communities do not come from well-established cricket traditions – footy and soccer are generally their sports of choice – but the time has come to forge their own cricket team playing on the national stage. The new team will reflect the dynamism and energy of the people living in those areas of Melbourne and Victoria.

Fresh, multicultural, gutsy and hungry for success, nothing will stop it. The new team will be cricket’s new kid on the block. It will be the future of cricket!
Please rank the following names in order of preference from your most favourite to your least favourite.

Suggestions: Rumble, Renegades, Blitz, Destroyers, Lightning, Crushers, Slam, Rampage

Team B:

This team will welcome the whole community of Victorian cricket fans, but it will, in particular, represent the community of fans who have cricket in their blood having played and watched it since they were kids.

This team will be inspired by the talent and style found in the most prestigious cricketing traditions, reinterpreted through the fast pace and irreverence of the Twenty20 format.

Dashing and talented, this new team will be the shining light in the new Big Bash League!

Suggestions: Guns, Majors, Mercury, Maxx, Dukes, Hammer

YUCK!!!!!! suicide
