    Even the team names are rubbish, Hurricanes, Renegades, Strikers, 6ers, Americanised crap, why not some names of Australian origin, perhaps Roo's, Boozers, Wombats, Bogans etc

    I know! the games origins are Anglo Saxon.

    Showing our age ain't we?

    One of those stoooopid dancers distracted a fielder in the BB the other night, could cause an accident. Should be banned. OH&S issue if I've ever seen one, couldn't give a crap about the dancer but don't want to see a cricketer injured.

    Done and dusted, easy win.

    Poor battinging by the Aussies never the less.

    The Pakistanis have some talent on its way but they need to polish them up a bit.

    Enjoyable match.

    Pleasure watching with you all.....tomorrow we can do it all over again.

    Sweeeeeet

    The 2015–16 season attracted an average audience of 1.13 million for each match in Australia an 18% increase on the previous season
    A cumulative audience of 9.65 million watched the matches in Australia, out of which 39% were females.
    The BBL Final was watched by an average audience of 1.79 million, which peaked at 2.24 million viewers. This was the first time that the ratings for a BBL match crossed the 2 million mark.
    ...In 2015–16 season too, the attendance figures continued to be broken across all the venues.
    The Big Bash League also entered into the top 10 most attended sports leagues in the world with respect to average crowd per match.

    Maybe it's just a fad.

    Unfortunately that's the problem, it's all about money.

    I doubt its a fad, the trend will continue.

    Big crowds at cricket ain't a modern innovation, pic below SCG circa 1900-1910.

    I'm glad someone waded in. Not tooo shabby total, a bit better than a Big Bash score... just.

    We will be lucky to be still batting by the 40th, what a collapse, if that's what it's called

    Hot conditions, its 39 at my place, they say 33 online.

    its sizzling out there in the middle by the look of it.

    Has to be distracting though, good weather for the Pakistanis.
