Self confessed T20 critic here ( No way? They all say ), but I've succumbed to the nightly entertainment ( mainly because there is nothing else on ) option of the Big Bash.
I've found it decidedly dull to watch, perhaps the aforementioned development of the game where teams build their innings has taken the dynamic aspect away, I've found myself thinking the standard of batting looks ordinary, perhaps that's the quality of the bowling or it might just be the comments above retired old "stars" filling the competition is lowering the standard.
Anyway, I've sat through nearly half a match twice now, both the Strikers home games.
Very much the same. I generally watch the first team bat, and nod off while the second teams chases.... Mrs C must turn the TV off, as I am snoring.
Got through all of last nights game though.
Teams like the Stars who have kept the likes of KP & Wright are way off beam. The Renegades seem to have gotten away with Hogg, Hodge & White though.
Fast Forward to the finals & if the Strikers are in it, I will pay a little more attention.
Bring on the test matches in South Africa.
