Teeball is not my bag but it's been forced down our throats during the worst month of the sporting calendar now that cricket has shit the bed with its scheduling. This means I've watched a bit of BBL over the past couple of years so I feel a bit more qualified to make a few observations.....
The standard is appalling (all out 15, whatever the strikers have dished up last two games)
Some of the rules are non-sensical, particularly this season (hit the roof, volleyball catches)
Players who back up every year seem to regress in their game (Sams, Phillipe)
Too many matches (fixed next year)
Too many players representing a team before ******* off somewhere else (Rashid, Lynn, Hales, Russell etc, etc)
The same two teams seem to dominate every year
And this is what we've weakened the shield for? This format has its place but itsall about Tests as the crowds have shown this year (except Perth). Kill that and the game I love is dead.
