yeah...this time 'Canes 184/3. Timmeh 87 n.o. from 58. Not sure if this will be enough. Time will tell.

'Canes came good with the help of Heat reject, the God botherer.
Two wickets & four catches.

Vomits outchoked by the pink dubbers

Vomits choke ...again

Did the Skidmarks win. Nice for The wasps to have something to celebrate.

So Bog and Max smirked at the 171 set by the Vomits and told the no. 3 not to bother putting on the pads.

Useful on-the-roof 6 hit by Christian in Brisvegas the other night.

easily the most noteworthy thing that has happened in the BBL so far

Wow - that was quite a knock from Travis Head.

Aye - astonishing.   And he was dropped on a sitter early in his innings.

Lady Canes demolish the Heat to confirm top of the table place.
Quite an entertaining game.

Fair knock by Travis Head last night to steal the game from the Spivs.

Canes complete the double with a big win over the previously unbeaten Thunder. Some outstanding catching from both sides in that game.

Ye Gods. 80,000 at the G tonight for a domestic T20!

Vomits knew one of their sides couldnt choke

Well done to the Viles. Akin to watching 2 flies crawling up a wall?

Well, apart from the Ashes when they come around, you'd have to say that the Big Bash is now the biggest event in the Australian cricket season.

Is this want Cricket Australia want? It certainly can't be what Channel Nine want. Ten's ratings are through the roof, whilst Nine's ratings (not helped by their dreadful commentators) are moderate (apart from the Day/Night test which did well).

Almost every Big Bash crowd at every ground so far this season has been larger than any ODI crowd at the same venues in Aus since 2010 (World Cup excluded).

The pricing policy (as you highlighted on the Aussie Test thread) is stupid.

where's Brad McNamara to spin this?

Are we getting to the point where we just have 1 touring team for Test series per summer, so we can focus on BBL even more (expansion also?)?

Good questions Nath.

Who knows what the CA nobs will do.

There is pressure to introduce extra tea.s and to extend the fixture.

Maybe Perth and Adelaide will gat more teams than the Skidmarks and the current barrel team.

Apparently the Perth Skidmarks got towelled up by the Adelaide Stinkies.

I see Optus has filled the sponsor hole left by Dick Smith for the Stars.....very lucky.

In the meantime the Hurricanes are fu**ed already....but who cares. I'm just waiting for the Shield to start again.

2 run outs in the few few overs - that's Whaksteresque.
