Big Bash 2016/17

Starts today with a clash between the Sydney sides

English interest as Roy, Billings and Morgan all playing

Well this has generated a lot of chat....


Been really enjoying it so far - Morgan hit a last ball six to win a game yesterday, and Lynnsanity is occurring

Probably because its not proper cricket..

I'm sure it's ok to watch (I caught a bit on BT Sport the other day) but something I struggle to care about as:

a) It takes place during the middle of our night
b) I have no idea of the format or who the teams are
c) There's an oversaturation of T20 leagues, and following them all isn't really possible

I'd expect others feel similar and are waiting for the India vs England ODIs as the next cricket to follow

The BBL is the best of the T20 Leagues to follow IMO. Easier to follow than the IPL and just about better in every way than the Blast!

It is a struggle to follow with the game times though, but I try to catch the highlights as much as I can.

Plus it was worth watching purely for Ponting being able to recite every word of the Barmy Army song about Mark Waugh!
