Having a 14 round minor round BBL is overkill - far too much.
I would have a nine team BBL with the ninth team being the touring side - for example this summer India would join the BBL after the SCG Test.
So the BBL starts on NYE at Adelaide Oval and then through January - India would rather play 8 BBL games and take the $$$ from 8 full houses around Australia rather than useless and meaningless T20s and 50 over ODIs before half full stadiums.
Each of the 9 teams would play each other once - a total of 36 minor round games instead of the current total of 56 games.
Still have a top 4 from the 9 team comp to play the semi finals and final.
This frees up all the Australian players to play for their franchises - except the round 1 BBL games that would be played prior to the completion of the SCG Test.
Is it fair to have international sides playing in a domestic comp?
Who cares - CA many years ago had an Aust A team play England, Zimbabwe and the official Aust side in an 'official' one day comp. They were happy to keep the $$ that Aust A generated and who cared about the credibility of the comp that summer? CA certainly didn't !!
The AFL comp has little credibility - every year Crows and Port have to play each other twice simply because they are based in the same city - so in seasons where one team is very strong and the other team is very weak - there is a bonus win to the strong team - as West Coast used to receive every year during Freo's early years in the AFL.



I'd swing the other way, 6 teams, don't let it interfere with the ODI's or tests, increase salary caps to entice the touring side's players to join and to attract the bigger names going around, it's become boring because the player pool is too big, we're seeing low scores, part timers opening the bowling and taking wickets and the fielding has been somewhat woeful.

6 teams, play each other twice, top team hosts the GF, 2nd plays 3rd at home for the semi, 32 games in total, double headers on Saturday's and Sunday's.

While I'm an unashamed knocker of the concept I tune in for a few overs here and there as it's got a bat, a ball and there **** all else on TV this time of year and I've been reading the comments in here about the standard dropping.

I sent @sirswampthing a tweet asking how many times the team batting first has scored 160+ in each BBL season and how many times they've won doing so.

W-L

BBL1 15-3 ( 28 games )
BBL2 11-5 ( 32 )
BBL3 12-3 ( 32 )
BBL4 12-2 ( 32 )
BBL5 13-9 ( 32 )
BBL6 10-9 ( and a tie ) (32 )
BBL7 18-7 ( 40 )
BBL8 9-5 ( 59 in total 35 played so far )

So this season has had more games than any other season ( bar last year ) and has had less sides sides batting first make 160+ than all but one year.

I’m a bit the same. I will turn on the coverage but not really watch it all that closely. Every game I have seen is a bit like watching Carlton play St Kilda.... it’s a game, just not a good one.

I like how he "done a little dance and exchanged words with Gayle" at the end of the over.

He's as soft as a ballbag, can dish it out in front of the camera's etc. but I'm sure he'd run like a bitch if the big Jamaican confronted him later on.

For those who like a punt, worth a bet on Perth Scorchers to win the BBL at $10 currently, need to make the final 4 obviously but with Marsh brothers not making test side and their ODI bowlers coming back this is their potential side for the rest of the tourney -

Bancroft
Marsh
Marsh
Turner
Cartwright
Agar
NCN
Tye
J Richardson
Berendorff
Qadir

Cant make a case for Klinger in there either.

That makes some of the opposition sides look like 3rd graders.

4 of their last 6 games at home and only trips to Alice and Brisbane to come.

All aboard!!

I would have likened it to a Crows game.

One light tower goes out so they call the game off citing that it was too dangerous for spectators FFS

Should revert back to old school rules, you can't provide a reasonable venue as a home side, you forfeit the match, the Thunder were robbed.

Well I've buggered your Perth bet, got on last night. Since then I backed Sydney last night & when I had the ABC on at lunch heard Stanlake got a game, tried to jump on India but of course no internet signal.
