Test Cricket will always be the ultimate test of a players skill.But Big Bash will sign the cheques and brink the next generation of boys+girls.And bring in new fans to the game.
Maybe we could have a WAFL Big Bash or similar to sign the cheques and bring in new fans. 10 a team, smaller grounds, 15 minute quarters…wait a minute…that sounds like that AFLX rubbish !!! hmmm…maybe not.

We could have a Wafl lighting carnival like the early 1980’s.Two 10 minute halves each team plays 9 games over two or three days long weekend.Played at Optus $5 entry under 16’s free.Day\ Night format.
The last two tests have regenerated my interest in the long form of cricket, but I still love the big bash. I won’t miss any test match played in Oz and I won’t miss a Scorchers game either. Like it or not, BB could be to cricket what the AFL is to the WAFL.
58 there’s talk of T10 Cricket in the Olympics.
How good are the Afgan boys at this T20.Man of the match Rashid Khan 3-19..
And an amazing story.Brisbane Strikers player Mujeed Ur Raheem.With 9 wickets down and 6 overs to go he carried his bat and got the score from 80 to 140.
18 months ago he had never had a Cricket ball in his hands.Learnt how to bowl from watching youtube.Living in a remote Afganistan village.Right hand offspinner 0-26 with 2 drop catches off his bowling.

Remember it well GTR back in 1982 (Red Rooster Cup) & 1983 (Emu Export Cup). Not sure why the WAFL didn’t go on with it but for once were actually ahead of their time instead of being a decade or 2 behind!

I’m pretty sure that was when the Wafl tested the 25+50 metre lines.The 25m line only last 1 season I think 1983.

Yes the 25m & 50m lines which originated in WA (for all the VIC sycophants) came in for 1982 during the 1982 pre season for the RRC. I think they were both in operation into the late 80s GTR before the 25m line was extinguished but the 50m has survived for 36 years now and since 1987 in VIC only 5 years behind WA!!
of course some of their grounds were so bloody small that you could put in a 50 line
seems the ‘scorchers’ will be unable to bat twenty overs
Renegades bowlers have been spot on.Same for Cooper with his field placing.A lot of leaning edges from our batsman.Wicket looks very slow.Abdal Quadir son batting no 10 for Perth.
The Scorchers just continuing the WA form (or lack there of) into the BBL!
How did Agar play after his much needed rest?..
Well if Langer was actually even serious regarding his comment about M.Marsh making runs in the BBL to push his case for a Boxing Day Test spot I guess you can rule a line through him now!
Looked tired the boy…but I gather those 2 games in 3 months can really take it out of a 25yo!! :blink:
FFS after 4 overs the Renegades are 4-17.With White and Cooper out.With only 1 specialist batsman left.And they take both strike bowlers off defending 103.Surley you have to bowl them out in a T20 match with such a small total.
4 day cricket,50 +20 over cricket.Wa is playing poorly both in performance and tactics.
gtr: I saw four wickets go quickly, got distracted and on returning was a bit suprised to see that their opponents were about to win. However, having read your post above, I can almost picture what happened ball by ball – they have been very disappointing
