Big Bash BBL 05 (2015/16)

[Zing]

Not long to go.

Teams looking strong this year.
But I think the Stars should past there Semi-Final 'issues' this year or maybe they will get smashed and not win a game for the year.
But who knows?

[Pinch hitter]

today's match was fantastic... i got free time to watch full match, i am totally satisfied with a ending...

 

[CerealKiller]

I agree, it was a great match. Fantastic knocks from Khawaja and KP and a cynical last over from the legend himself Kallis.

Why no Indian player in BBL ?

Why no Indian player in BBL ?

I know the answer to this. The BCCI does not allow any Indian players to play in Domestic T20 Leagues. That's why you get Indian players signed up in England for First Class and One Day matches, but never the T20 Competition.[DOUBLEPOST=1452021574][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyway, what's Chris Gayle been up to?

Well there still isn't really, Pujara's the only one that has come over in recent years and even that was only for a handful of games.

Edit : Actually Gambhir may have played a few games for Essex a few years back I think?

 

[MUFC1987]

Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's a massive list. I'm just saying that I remember when Pujara or maybe someone else signed, they were there when the T20 was on, but that the BCCI refuse to let their contracted players play in it anywhere else. Although you always did get the ones without central contracts playing, like Murali Kartik. But I think I'm right in saying that contracted players don't play anywhere. Which when you consider that all the big players from other countries play in the IPL, is a surprise.

Strikers v Renegades: Best match for the strikers who seemed to lose chances in the earlier half of second innings with Gayle hitting so wild. I could not believe Renegades ended up being all bowled for 143 runs after having the best possible start to their chase. Clearly, their middle order & lower order is lack of experience.

Anyway, what's Chris Gayle been up to?

This .. Chris Gayle takes aim at his critics as he leaves BBL | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

Gayle: Ppl think I may have played my last innings in Aus but my memory with the fans will live on forever!!" Gayle wrote. "I build leagues around the world and Big Bash is one of them ... 'Give the ppl what they want'."
