    Super Big Premier Bashing T20 thread

    A place for us to snark, comment or muse about the franchise T20 leagues dotted around the calendar. The Australians are having their Big Bash at the moment and I think the IPL draft is coming up soon. But basically I just wanted somewhere to post a link to this catch, which is great but spoiled by the twatty celebration.

    Sure, it's a decent grab but how reliable is his long barrier?

      What is so bad about the celebration? I mean, if you accept football style celebrations at all in cricket it’s no worse than, say, Tom Curran’s trademark one.

        Somehow bowlers doing it doesn't offend me as much. Silly, I know.

          The teams are fake collections of individuals so the camaraderie comes across as false. A Test team is different because those players are on tour for five or six months and representing a history going back a century or more.

          Franchise cricket is shit and damages the sport. I don't think that can change.

            I'll be honest, though, this semi final has quite a good finish here (BT Sport 2).

              178 beats 177. Yep, that was a tight one. But, as noted above, they even mentioned how four of the players on the losing team had played in previous BBL editions for the other side.

                Hales has set a new record in the UAE T10 (not a typo) tournament.

                    Eoin Morgan would be well cast in The Terminator. Relentless efficient but you barely see a trace of emotion.

                        I know the weather is rubbish and we're not guaranteed getting any cricket but I'd hoped that there'd be more people at the Oval for Surrey v Southern. Oh alright, Surrey Stars v Southern Vipers. Nope that's bad too.

                        Anyway, given the large number of people who were at the T20 for friends and drinking why aren't they here tonight?
