Test cricket anytime.

Preferred the old six state Big Bash format.

At least with the state format you could tell who is who and what team is playing! This is awful.

there isn't a game in Adelaide this week. I look forward to you arguing that a week can still run from friday to Friday.

Awesome win by Hobart last night, justice being done after that Birt decision.

I just noticed like AFL teams play some teams twice and only others once. What a joke!

I lost interest as soon as I saw uneven fixture list.

seems very silly, there are 8 teams and everyone plays 7 games yet some teams dont play each other at all and play one team twice,

how hard is it to put a fixtures list together i ask :?: :?:

A bit like the a-league, Adelaide played Glory 3 times before they played Sydney :shock:

Not sure how that's a 6. Should be a dead ball

Last year wouldn't have been a six, this year new rule says it is.

Why? Is it a dead ball when it hits the stumps at the other end, the boundary, a helmet behind the keeper or a seagull on the park?

Helmet - i think it might be. Certainly 5 runs to the opposition.

That's ridiculous - youi can't change the rules mid season.

Helmet on the pitch is part of the game and a 5 run penalty is fair enough but hitting the roof is outside interference I would have though.

Just consider it a three dimensional boundary.

I believe a seagull is considered part of the play, carry on.

What if the ball hit spider cam?

The only time I have ever seen it happen the seagull died, the deflection allowed the ball to pass the fielder who was on course to pick it up and the umpire signalled four.
