Melbourne Stars have skied two balls but they have hit the roof so they get two sixes.

Absolute bs

Agree AE.
Im a fan of the 20/20 concept.
But sum of the rules are tarnishing the game, including the rooftop hits.

I don’t think it’s just a BBL rule, it is extremely difficult to do.

Only 1 of them scores I’m happy about.

It’s a fair adjustment I guess, no doubt they all got a bit ahead of themselves

Warner copped the perfect inswinging yorker to be fair.

Too much Test cricket has affected their 20/20 techniques ....

Teeball is not my bag but it's been forced down our throats during the worst month of the sporting calendar now that cricket has shit the bed with its scheduling. This means I've watched a bit of BBL over the past couple of years so I feel a bit more qualified to make a few observations.....

The standard is appalling (all out 15, whatever the strikers have dished up last two games)
Some of the rules are non-sensical, particularly this season (hit the roof, volleyball catches)
Players who back up every year seem to regress in their game (Sams, Phillipe)
Too many matches (fixed next year)
Too many players representing a team before ******* off somewhere else (Rashid, Lynn, Hales, Russell etc, etc)
The same two teams seem to dominate every year

And this is what we've weakened the shield for? This format has its place but itsall about Tests as the crowds have shown this year (except Perth). Kill that and the game I love is dead.

Completely incorrect, the best T20 players in the world don't come to the BBL due to there not being enough cash here, Rash has come every year and plays for significant unders

thought the german might get the scorchers home for a while there

Why is Nathan Lyon referred to GARY ?

The cash on offer in the BBL is ok, it's just the tournament goes on for so long the money on offer begins to look less attractive.
