Mrs Boon is "away" in the CBD with the girlfriends for a couple of nights so beers and cricket it was, I thought I'll get into the Strikers game and, for the benefit of being educated, I'll watch a whole game.

I found out in the first over the the Stars bloke put "Fletcher" back on his shirt after running with "Spice Man" for the other games.

Yeah. Nah. The roses got some water.

BBL should be like a 3 week carnival tops.
but its not something i normally watch, so I dont know if the quality is good or bad on previous versions, but from my limited viewing the baseball has been more entertaining.

Playing some BBL SuperCoach this year so for the first time I've bitten the bullet and overcome my aversion for this dreadful format to watch some of it and see if an old dog can learn new tricks. At times there has been some amazing striking of the ball with the innings of Poran for Melbourne Green sticking in the mind. I couldn't believe a guy could come in and hit the ball like that. I've seen other matches where guys were blocking the ball for six. I've also seen how spin bowlers can be so important in this format and some of the variation that has come into the game and then there is the fielding of blokes like Joran Silk or that Spice dude. I used to call T20 teeball as an expression of contempt as 'you might as well not have bowlers' so by actually watching a few games I was soon disabused of this notion.

However, I have to say it hasn't won me over overall. Due to the hectic nature of this format we have talented strikers of the ball and good batsmen hacking away like Number eight batsmen. The batting witnessed in every game is as brainless as Tim Paine's captaincy. The fielding of Spice Dude and Silk is starting to become an exception rather than the rule as the number of dropped catches has reached epidemic proportions. The appalling standard of umpiring hasn't helped either. This format was supposed to be razzle dazzle but in Hobart in one game it was all about the Billy Ray Cyrus DJs with the 'cricket' an afterthought. In several games, some of the delays in play would make the Indian Test Team blush....is this fast pace or advertising space? Get on with the game! Even during the test series the game was going at a more consistent pace even with Rahaneball.

I realise you don't give a shit about what us old knockers say and that opinions are like arseholes but I'm so glad the once mighty Sheffield Shield has been humbled so we can make a few bucks (yet CA still cries poor) so we can have shittrucks like Wade, Burns, Harris and Head playing test matches in the middle order. Teeball has produced ONE test cricketer for Australia. Thanks for nothing. Can we have our game back now?

Strikers WIN with a bonus point

Look a much better team with Neser and Head in there plus Weatherald opening, even without Rashid Khan.
