Big Bash League

Lockyear was hitting them very well, he'll be disappointed getting out like that.

Now it's Paine. Tassie favorites at the moment. But it can change so quickly.

lol at the fearsome tweak off through the stump mic.

Tim Paine > Brad Haddin

Nah, but I've been very impressed with Paine from the first time I saw him in England, such a good striker these days.

 

[aussie1st]

Paine has improved so much since he debuted for Australia. He could only dream of scoring this quick a few seasons ago, now hes doing it with such ease.

 

[irottev]

Great catch. Been some great cricket this game. Lets hope it comes close.

 

[aussie1st]

Great fielding from the youngsters, Smith and then Hazelwood throwing down the stumps. Pretty decent for a tall fast bowler.

 

[Robelinda]

Lockyear is quite a talent. His ton in the FRC at the MCG is the knock of the season so far, he was brutal in that knock.

 

[aussie1st]

Yep he looks to be a good talent, its good to have a few big hitting openers in the scene.
Awesome figures for Smith with 3-7, control hasn't been there but hes proving to be very effective.

 

[irottev]

4-11 for the next Shane Warne?

 

[Howsie]

I only watched Smith's last over but at least he was able to make a tailender look like a fool. Looked pretty impressive though.

Geeves is a character! misses three balls then runs a suicide run and makes it after doing a barrell roll.

 

[Robelinda]

How good has this Big Bash been so far??? Awesome viewing after a (half) day of test cricket. The crowds have been really great, huge crowds for these games.

 

[aussie1st]

Smith ends up with Afridi like figures, hard to gague much from it but I liked his first ball which drifted into the pads and then spun ala Warne.

Hazelwood continues his trend with a wicket every match, wasn't the best bowling by Starc and Hazelwood but they should learn from this.

 

[Biggy]

lol at Tassie's batting card. SMITH, SMITH, SMITH, SMITH.

Don't know what coverage the Bet365 get but they have all the behind the scenes. They showed the MOTM award before it was shown on Foxsports and you could hear the commentators preparing to go on air like what replays are being shown, the count down, etc.
