Today.
Stars v. Sixers.
Stars 6/168 (20 overs). Maxwell 82 (43), Handscomb 35, Stoinis 34.
Incredible hitting from Maxy. 6 sixes.

3/32 (4). 3 wickets in 3 overs (or actually 3 wickets in 15 balls, one of which was a wide).
The Sixers are not being sensible here.
Oh... make that 4/34. 4 wickets in 17 balls, one of which was a wide.
They are flattering the bowlers. |

Now 8/65. 
A couple of nice sharp slips catches from Maxwell, who is having a good game.
Update: all out for 74.
A big contrast in the spinners' figures (see 5 posts up):
Zampa 2/15 (4), Lamichhane 3/11 (3.4). |

After 15.3 overs, the Stars were going at exactly 6 per over with 93 runs in total. From that point, Maddinson hit two fours in a row and was caught in the deep going for a third, then Maxwell went mad. So, in the 26 balls from 15.4 to 19.5 (Maxy went out off the final ball, of course), the Stars put on 75 and averaged 17.3 per over.
Add to that Stoinis' 18 from the very first over and you have the Stars getting 91 runs in 32 balls (at 17.1 per over) and 77 from the other 87 (at 5.3 per over). |

More info, please, K.
Punters aren't eager to click on links without some knowledge of where it will take them.

Big crash league?
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/big-crash-league-20190212-p50xcf.html
"BBL08 has been if not a play-and-miss, a mis-hit. ... Average crowds are down by around 5000 a game. The raw numbers are still respectable by any standard, but the trend is not.
As best can be told, once you scrape away the saliva and spin, it is the same for television ratings. Some of that is due to the secreting of many matches behind a pay wall, but that was Cricket Australia's choice, so it cannot also be its alibi.
Of course, the quantum of spectators is up, by about 130,000, because there have been more matches, 56 instead of 40. It's a lot more games for a few more eyeballs, half of them at the new Perth Stadium.
...
Cricket authorities say the BBL is still young and evolving, but it's not.
...
Sports, and formats, have half-lives. It took 100 years from the birth of Test cricket for a shorter form to appear, less than 30 years for an even shorter form to emerge. A dozen years on, T10 is off the drawing board and doing trials.
...
Following this bouncing ball, it is possible to surmise that the Big Bash League may be trying to expand just at the moment when it has reached its natural peak. That makes the other side scary."
[Comment: I think Baum needs to look up what "quantum" means. Whatever it can mean, it surely does not mean "aggregate".] |
