Fall and Fall of Big Bash

But you bring in all the NZ players as well. Plus, I said more cash for a few more quality internationals.

I don't think NZ is interested in cooperating with this idea tbh.

The talent pool is already too thin with 8 teams

Mo issues with Talent, it’s definitely there, issues are with development and retention of it. That’s where the problems are and they are significant

Interest on this board is certainly up from last season.

An even competition helps.

Will be integral in the next 3 or so years that once the current test starts retire that they still play in the BBL. Like Warner is currently doing, if Smith, Khawaja, Starc, Hazlewood and Lyon can all do the same it would be a good thing for the competition.

The comp was originally built on that with Hayden, Warne, MacGill, Ponting, Lee all playing in the first couple of seasons

More trade/player movement speculation

As per the article, Richardson is unlikely to be in Red next season. If we're showing interest in Doggett also, wonder if that could mean Rogers or O'Neill potentially looking for a new home

Apparently we've also got interest in Renshaw which gives an indication of acknowledging issues in our batting

Good news on Meredith. Might as well have shut the team down if they couldn't retain the good local player.

Stars paying through the nose for David, you can definitely see them neglecting the rest of their team and doing that as it is their MO.

...remember the other night when the Melb derby, just on Ch7, outrated the Aus Open? Would've been washed out if it hadn't been at Marvel.

Even if it did dry up enough in time, you wouldn't get anywhere near 38k turning up on a day like that without the assurances provided by the roof.

But yeah let's put two new teams in a country with a smaller population than Victoria (and has nothing but shit venues and shit weather). Ha ha.

I feel like you don't like Geelong.

Read that strikers need Brisbane and Hobart to share the points to qualify. If heat lose their next 2 and the stars win doesn’t that put the strikers 4th?

Dorff has been really good this season, always gets us off to a good start, I'd hate to lose him, even though he's 34.

I'm trying to work out how they fit all of Stoinis, Maxwell & David into the same batting line-up as all have the ability to play the same role - so who is it that moves up the order?

And where would it leave Cartwright as a lower order batsmen?
