Oh god help me.

I saw an article recently saying "how can we rejuvenate the BBL?" Umm, by making it a novelty which was its intended purpose.

The number of third rate players bowling darts astounds me.

Probably used to fielding on a Saturday afternoon with a dart behind the ear too, the standard is pure shite.

Need to clear out Jan for international commitments and have a good 6 week block where our internationals play BBL full time. If they did that now it would inject much needed life and quality into the comp. Other comps lick IPL, BPL and CPL all work well as their best local players are available full time during the tourney.

To do that means to shove the 50 over format to October/November, Tests to late November/December. Still doesn't help prepare young players for First Class cricket......

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

But the CA bean counters need the BBL in January to maximise families attendance during the school holidays [emoji849]

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.
